Chapter 95 The Idle Hero (Part 2)
Ying tore open my sleeves and pulled out the broken thread, "Second daughter, bring me the needle and thread. She also said that the custom-made clothes are good, but they started to wear out after only a few days. They are not as good as the ones made by the second daughter for you."
"
"Of course I'm not as careful as my own sewing. I'm afraid you two will be tired." I took off my coat and threw it to Ying. "I'm afraid not many Gaoming ladies are willing to use needlework. You just have to suffer a fate, and you don't learn to enjoy the blessings like others.
"
"No, the more distinguished the needle and thread, the better. Princess Lanling's handkerchiefs are all embroidered by herself. I'm not that good at embroidery. I just couldn't embroider it after tracing it out." Ying touched the thread with saliva.
Wetly, she tied the knot lightly, and glanced at me with her eyes: "As I said, princess, I haven't been here for a few days. I miss her so much, and your husband is also worried about her, right?"
When the two girls heard the mention of Lanling, they leaned forward and leaned against Ying. They took Ying's hand and started working, as if they were on the same side as Ying.
"Go, go, let the kids play!" The two women across from him looked at him, which made him feel strange, and he shamelessly pulled the two women into the kang.
"No." Ying held the two girls in her arms and glanced at me with a smile, "Although the girl is younger, she is also my husband's wife, why should I drive her away? She is mending your clothes for your husband, how virtuous she is.
Women, where can I find them?" He said and touched the two women's chins, "In half a year, I'm afraid she will be more handsome than Princess Lanling."
The two girls blushed, lost their needles and threads, and threw their bags on Ying's body, twisting around in confusion.
"Careful!" I quickly picked up the thread and needle and put them in the basket. "Pricking someone is not a joke. Why is this lamp not on? It is easy to damage your eyes when mending clothes like this. I will go down and bring a wax table. You two
Let’s play first, I’ll go to the hut on the way.” After saying that, he wanted to run away and stretched his feet to look for his shoes under the kang.
"Giggle," Ying hugged the two girls and laughed, "If you ask me, you will change your words. If you don't want to go hide in the hut, sit back quickly. Just don't ask. It seems that your husband is vain." He stretched out his hand to pull me back.
"It's a joke, husband, don't take it seriously. I'm not the jealous Mrs. Fang, what are you afraid of?"
"Jealous? Mrs. Fang?" I asked in confusion, "What allusion?"
Ying patted the two girls who looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Emperor Taizong commended his important minister Fang Xuanling for his contribution to the country, and specially gave two beauties to serve as his wives. Fang Xuanling did not dare to refuse, saying that his wife was extremely angry.
He had a strong temper and refused to allow it. The emperor asked Mrs. Fang to reconcile between "agreeing" and "giving him a drink to commit suicide."
I made a choice between them, but Mrs. Fang was so loyal and courageous that she actually drank from the pot, but it turned out to be a pot of old vinegar." She laughed and said, "I don't have Mrs. Fang's ability, so the matter between my husband and Princess Lanling is over.
If you give it up, you can't be true anyway, she is the eldest princess."
I have learned a lot. Fortunately, the second daughter does not have the blood of the Fang family. When Ying said this, she felt guilty. She turned around and hugged Ying and the second daughter in her arms, unable to speak.
"It's hot, why don't you hurry up and sew clothes!" Ying leaned against me for a while, maybe feeling a little bored, and pushed the two girls to go to work, "Husband, don't worry, just treat me as a mess."
.Remember to bring back the newly issued seal from the imperial court in a few days. This is the first time I have a seal to use."
Just as I was hugging Ying and talking, the maid outside called the door. The housekeeper had something to ask for.
"What's wrong?" I put on some clothes and ran out. When I saw the housekeeper, I immediately asked: "Students from other places are causing trouble again?"
"There is a fire in the Yun family's village. Should we send some people from our house to put out the fire?" The housekeeper was ashamed of what I said and said: "It was not our turn to go to our house in the first place. The old man just wanted to let the young Marquis know about this.
."
"What are you still doing? Call someone to put out the fire!" When I heard about the fire, I immediately became anxious. This season is dry, and once a fire breaks out, it will be troublesome. Besides, not putting out the fire is a serious crime. "Send me the servants in the house.
All men, come with me to put out the fire!"
"Wait a minute!" Ying packed up and came out, "Uncle Qian, let's go gather some people first." After dismissing Butler Qian, Ying pulled me aside, "Don't go too early, take the time to pass, and let the fire burn.
It's just right. Our family took over the Yun family's territory smoothly."
"Nonsense!" Although Ying has plans for her own family, her refusal to save her is in conflict with my principles. "You should stay home and stay at home. I will take people there right now."
"Husband, don't go!" Ying held on to me tightly and wouldn't let go, "It's okay for the servants to go, but you are not allowed to go!"
"Go away! Mother!" I ditched Ying and rushed to the yard, shouting loudly: "The pots and pans are ready, you two go to the village to call for people, and hurry up to put out the fire." I saw Ying also came out.
, picked her up and threw her into the back house, closed the door and locked her, "Stay at home well, I'll be back soon, don't worry!"
When I led people to the Yun's yard, the fire was raging. It started in the back house and was spreading to the front yard. The people in the Yun's house were in a mess without any direction. Those who put out the fire were fighting the fire and those who were running away.
They were running away, and some of the female family members were crying and howling. Judging from the situation, someone might have been killed.
I quickly asked the people I brought to line up, and pulled back the two poles that were ready to go in to rescue people. "Everyone obeys the command! Anyone who dares to rush in to rescue people will be tied up!" I saw someone in front of the door.
The woman called her parents and tried to break away from everyone's pull and throw herself into the yard, "Uncle Qian."
! Ask someone to tie this girl up and throw her on the carriage! Stop causing trouble here!" He turned around and ordered: "Everyone is lined up, and all the things that can be burned around the yard have been removed, and we have lined up to pass the water in. Hurry up!
He grabbed a servant of the Yun family who was passing by carrying a basin of water and asked, "Have you reported to the official position?"
"I've reported it." The man was so frightened by me that he splashed water on the floor.
"Is there anyone else inside?"
"The master is inside, I'm afraid..." As he said that, the servant started howling and rushed in with half a basin of water.
At this time, the farmers on Zhuangzi also arrived. I organized them into several long water transport teams and delivered the containers filled with water in an orderly manner. The people of the Yun family gradually calmed down and followed suit.
As we watched, we started to put out the fire. Hundreds of people formed nine fire-fighting dragons, and finally controlled the spreading fire.
"Why are you here?" Seeing that the fire slowed down, I breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from my forehead. Suddenly I found Ying standing behind me, "Add chaos! Uncle Qian! Tie the lady and throw her on the carriage!"
"Who dares!" Ying's sharp voice frightened me and several servants, and Ying stood next to me and said softly: "I will stand behind my husband, so I won't cause any trouble. Seeing that your husband feels at ease, don't chase me away.
Walk."
"Okay, don't run around!" I pulled Ying to stand behind me and shouted loudly to everyone to knock down large pieces of wood from a wing that was about to collapse and create an open space so that the fire-fighting team could move forward.
When the government sent people to arrive, the fire was basically under control. The back house was still burning badly, but it would not spread to other places. The Yun family's back house was probably lost, but the structure of the entire courtyard was still intact.
It did not suffer fatal damage, and it would inevitably require a large amount of money to be renovated.
The fire-fighting equipment and experience of the officers came into play, and the fire in the back house was extinguished in a short time. It was midnight, and once the fire was extinguished, except for dozens of torches, everything was dark. The search and rescue work could only be carried out during the day.
Proceeded. My title is too high
, the official did not dare to call for questioning, so he could only politely ask the steward Qian to leave, and record the reason. At the same time, he took away the woman who was tied to the carriage. The light was too poor to see clearly what she looked like.
I heard her calling for a long time and her voice was pretty good.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!" I raised my hands to the people on my farm who came to put out the fire. "Thanks to you all, we didn't cause a big disaster today. We can go home with one hundred yuan of labor expenses per person." As soon as I finished speaking, I almost
The bankers who arrived late quickly stood up from the team and said that they did not participate in the rescue.
Huo, who was not qualified to take the money, kept waving at me. I stepped forward and pushed them into the queue, "Thank you for your hard work. Just come. Come with me and get the money." I saw Accountant Hu standing inside covered in mud and water, "
Mr. Hu, I have to work hard for you when you get back, I'm sorry."
"What's the point? If his house is on fire, our family will pay for it." Ying and I walked back with one foot deep and one shallow, reluctant, "I heard from them that the old man of the Yun family was inside and didn't come out.
"
"You're so angry, you see his house is in this state. How can you come up with money? Don't treat your family badly." The road between the two villagers was not smooth, and it was difficult for me to walk. "I was wrong to be angry with you just now, madam.
Don't take it personally."
"I didn't take it seriously. My husband is so tight like this. I'm not in the right position today. That's right." Seeing that everyone was in peace, Ying's words were filled with relief. "Husband, you are really heroic today. In the past,
I didn’t even notice it.”
"Really? Do you admire me?"
"Yes, but next time I don't want to leave you alone and run away. I'll be too scared."
"After hearing Madam's compliment, I felt so full of strength that I couldn't sleep at night."
"Keep your voice down, there's someone behind you."
