When his wife went back with the women and children, Xu Haoda hurriedly walked in on the street. Xu Qingtang asked: "How many houses were destroyed after burning overnight?" ”

Seeing this, the men gathered around, and were horrified to find that Xu Hao's eyebrows and beard were burnt, and his already short hair was curled, just like those Kunlun slaves in Africa.

Although the third old man wolf was unbearable, and even looked very ridiculous, people's eyes became respectful one by one.

Xu Hao said: "It's too hot, and no one can stand it when it's close." Although I took my brother who dared to die to rush in to find someone with a wet quilt for the first time, unfortunately I couldn't save a few, and the wooden house was too easy to collapse. When the fire broke out, there was nothing to be done. ”

"There's no way around it." Xu Zengfu sighed, and then said with a straight face: "Isn't the third uncle ruthless, don't you want to die at this time?" Do you know that your life is more valuable than their plus a dollar? ”

"Yes." Xu Hao didn't think so, and didn't dare to refute it on his face.

Xu Song explained to himself: "Dad, at that time, my eldest brother and I were holding the third brother to death, how could we watch him rush in and send him to his death?" ”

Xu Hao continued: "About 34 houses were burned, and even about 50 yards of the big kitchen here were gone, and the casualties were not counted, at least 20 lives. After investigation and estimation, the fire was lost from the oil lamp of the grocery store across the street, because the south wind blew over, the whole street was burned at both ends, and the weather was dry and dry, so the momentum was fierce, and it was impossible to extinguish the fire. More than a dozen water dragons in our house and the Terracotta Division were to no avail, and 5,000 people came to the Forbidden City, hundreds of waterwheels, and used mud bags and demolished houses to form a separation zone, so that the fire could be stopped, if it wasn't for the palace next to it, I really can't imagine the consequences. ”

Xu Hai interjected: "Actually, thanks to the command of the third brother, otherwise everyone would have panicked, and only the third brother could suppress anyone." The few third-grade officials trained are like turtle grandsons. ”

"Good!" Xu Qingtang nodded and said, "Regardless of the outside affairs for the time being, our family can bear the loss." You see, the wall on this side is cracked and it doesn't matter, and the wall in the alley behind is poured with water, I'm afraid that it will collapse soon, and I will hurt people. Xu Hai, you took Ye'er, hurriedly called the craftsman with the housekeeper, and quickly dismantled it. ”

"Yes!" After Xu Hai agreed, he left in a hurry with Xu Ye.

Xu Qingtang said to Xu Song and Xu Hu again: "You two go to the account room to supervise." You don't have to talk too much about the expenses outside and the rewards of the officers and soldiers, the officials and the people, and you don't have to write down the numbers secretly, don't make a lot of money in a hurry, and don't have any proof of investigation. ”

At the same time, Xu Zengfu also said to Xu Wen: "You are duty-bound to deal with the aftermath of Dongfu, there is no shortage of manpower at home, so hurry up and clean it up." ”

Xu Qingtang, Xu Zengfu and Xu Hao had to enter the palace for the first time to serve the Ming Emperor, and they also had to entertain hundreds of civil and military officials, and some yamen had to thank them in person. This time, not only the Forbidden City came. Shuntian Mansion and the guards of the city gates, the Soldiers and Horses, the Six Divisions, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the county government outside the city, the family officials in the entire imperial city, the Prince's Mansion and the Horse Mansion and so on. Nearly more than 100,000 people were alarmed, and the strength of the people was great, so the fire could be controlled in just a few hours.

In the blink of an eye, September has arrived, and it is already tender and cool weather. The British government is busy these days. Repair houses, build walls, build kitchens, and plant trees. Although it is not the fault of the Xu family, its own losses are not small. But the aftermath has to be pinched and recognized, in order to try to calm down the matter and ask for peace.

The Xu Mansion contributed to help the affected families bury the coffins, care for the orphans, build a house and a series of other matters, no one did not take it for granted, and having money was the original sin.

Of course, a good reputation is also piled up bit by bit, a good reputation is very important for a family, and a good neighborhood relationship is equally important, at least it can reduce many unnecessary disputes.

Due to the separation of some of the affected families, it is unlikely that they will live here despite the support of the Xu family, and they propose to sell the foundation and take the silver to settle elsewhere, and some families are sad because of this, and have to change to a new house. Xu Wen saw that there was an opportunity, so he paid to buy all the white land of these people, and he also got it away if he didn't want to move away, a full fifteen acres.

Xu Wen asked the craftsman to use the fence to enclose it, and he wanted to build an east garden in a big way, and borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver from Dongnuoxi, and it took a full year to complete the construction.

Zhu Mingmei and Zhu Ruizhu, who were most afraid during the period, were nothing, but Zhu Mingzhi became ill, and he had a high fever of chills and fever the next day.

Xu Yu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was not very well, but because of Zhu Ming's illness, he forgot everything all of a sudden, and accompanied her day and night, delivering tea and medicine, and was busy for more than half a month.

The Zhongfu side is once again sleepy, and if Princess Deqing has a good life, even if she is not in good health, she will not be able to explain to the Queen Mother. Fortunately, with Xiangyu's careful treatment, Zhu Mingzhi was sad or something, he was in a good mood and everything, and he was fine after half a month.

In Yangzhou City, the proud Wu family has been living a very comfortable life recently, but the daughter seems to be very worried, looking through her eyes and looking forward to her father's return, so anxious that her heart is like fire, and she does needlework in the room all day long, and she doesn't come out when she is idle, and even the door is locked tightly.

Seeing that the girl was rude and didn't see anyone all day, sometimes Wu was impatient, and the persuasion was ineffective, so she simply didn't send food to Aunt Lan to eat, while Aunt Shen Lan would rather be hungry all day and not leave the boudoir.

The problem is that there is no one at home, so everything else is enough, the toilet has to be emptied and washed, right? Aunt Shen Lan waited until the middle of the night, and her mother fell asleep, because Lu Xiong slept late, she waited patiently until the second watch, and the lights in the house were extinguished, and the moon was as bright as a white painting.

Secretly poured dirty things into the latrine, flushed the toilet with well water, and Aunt Lan washed her hands again, still feeling uncomfortable. It was inconvenient to light a fire, so I could only carry the well water upstairs and barely take a cold shower.

When she was about to rest, Aunt Lan suddenly remembered that there were a few clothes drying in the yard behind the kitchen, and she forgot to collect them. She was worried that the dew would be soaked in the night, and that there would be no clothes to change tomorrow, and that the people outside would be asleep anyway, so she went downstairs lightly, opened the ear door, and came towards the kitchen.

The Shen family's kitchen must be open to the outside, otherwise how to send rice, noodles and vegetables to the inside, but there is an ear door leading to the inner room, because once there are guests in the front hall, it is convenient for the ladies to enter and exit.

Who knew that Aunt Lan walked out of the ear door, but Lu Xiong hadn't slept tonight, because when he was drinking during the day, Liu Yun teased: "You have been staying for several days." Haven't moved yet? Don't you plan to live in someone else for the rest of your life? When Lao Shen comes back and your lies are exposed, how do you want to deal with it? Ask a question or two. ”

At that time, Lu Xiong said: "That girl is not married yet, I should be doubly gentle, make her like me, and then ask the matchmaker to say yes, and coax Sister-in-law Shen to marry her to me as the main wife." When you get to my house, don't you let her be a concubine with me? When the time comes, you and I will take turns for a month, won't we all fulfill our wishes? Otherwise, I'll just kill you. Forgive her for being a scholarly lady and don't dare to say anything, what are our brothers afraid of? ”

Although the cowhide was blowing loudly, Lu Xiong didn't dare to come nonsense in the end, he was anxious, for fear of losing face in front of Liu Yun. If Lao Shen goes home and uses all these thoughts, he will inevitably be embarrassed to leave. Therefore, it is better to get hands without showing a trace, in short, Miss Shen family lost herself to herself, and the Shen family can only admit it. Is it bad to climb the Lu family?

He couldn't sleep after thinking about it, thinking for a while that it didn't matter if he was a strong player, and then he was worried that the Shen family would not obey, so what should he do if he ran to report to the official? I was upset at one point. Blowing out the lights, he paced around the yard looking at the moon and wondering what to do.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening inside, and Lu Xiong heard the sound of small footsteps again. Hurriedly turned around, and saw a beautiful woman walking into the kitchen.

Lu Xiong in the night can see it very clearly, this is called watching the beauty under the moon. The hazy beauty is even more beautiful. Knowing that there are no outsiders in the Shen family, it must be Aunt Shen Lan's girl.

"It's beautiful!" Lu Xiong was amazed, no wonder Liu Yun only saw it once, and he never forgot it as if he was obsessed, and what he said was true. How many stunning colors do you think you've seen? His wife Long is also a stunner, but compared with the two of them, even this girl's heels can't be compared.

It is that what you don't get is always the best, the more you look at Lu Xiong, the more beautiful she looks, the more she loves it, and she can't help but walk over step by step, and all the stakes are thrown out of the clouds.

He walked behind Shen Langu in a reluctant, staring at the beautiful back, and didn't know how to speak for a while, standing stupidly.

Lan Gu put away her clothes and was about to go back, when she heard the footsteps behind her, she was taken aback, and quickly turned around, and saw Lu Xiong in front of her like a ghost.

Lu Xiong's mind was racing, he finally met her, and let her go, wouldn't he miss the opportunity in vain? So he took the lead in front of the ear door, and said with a smile: "Girl, going out alone late at night is not intentional, but it is a good fate." ”

It was completely the words of the gentleman who was flirting with the beautiful lady in the play, Aunt Lan was so anxious that her heart was like a deer, and she shouted in a panic: "You are so bold that you dare to flirt with a woman from a good family, get out of the way, if you talk nonsense again, I will wake up my mother, see where your face is?" ”

However, Lu Xiong indulged in it and couldn't extricate himself, and said with a smile: "The girl scolded me for loving me, even if she hit me a few times, Xiaosheng was willing." Just accusing me of molesting you, isn't that right? It is no accident that I have not been to your boudoir, but you have come out of your own house and happened to meet me. Hehe! It's not that I'm boasting, with my identity, matching the girl is not humiliating, isn't the girl satisfied? ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to hug him, and the angry Shen Langu hurriedly took two steps back and shouted, "Mother, come quickly, come quickly!" ”

Lu Xiong was startled, lest he alarm Wu, stepped forward and hugged the beauty with his left hand, pressed her mouth with his right hand, and said with a smile: "My obedient Hugh wants to make a temperament, and the delicious taste in my mouth still makes me unable to eat it!" ”

With a slight lift, he picked up the petite Aunt Lan, and Lu Xiong walked towards his room with a smile, determined to succeed tonight.

And Aunt Lan's mouth was pressed, her upper body was tightly held in her arms by Lu Xiong, she couldn't move, she couldn't help but be ashamed and indignant, her arms had nowhere to exert force, and her legs were kicking and kicking desperately.

With a muffled sound, Qiaoqiao hit Lu Xiong's crotch with a kick, and Lu Xiong suddenly lost his voice and said, "Oops! ”

The baby's roots hurt, Lu Xiong's hand was subconsciously loosened, and Shen Langu couldn't care about safety in a hurry, so she took advantage of the situation and leaned back, but the two of them fell to the ground at the same time, knocked down a bunch of pots and buckets, and rolled around.
