Chapter 71(1/2)
The great revenge is avenged
Although Zuo Lingquan could not clearly see the appearance of the little bird dumpling, he could clearly feel that it was aggrieved. It turned its little head in the collar and kept rubbing Tang Jingxun's neck.
"Woo..."
Tang Jingxun regained some consciousness, quickly picked up the dumplings, held them in his hands and gently stroked them to comfort her, and his words became clearer:
"Just now...there was such a big fire just now...nothing is gone, everything is burned...wuwu..."
As he talked, sadness arose in his heart, Tang Jingxun started crying again, turned around and wanted to go to the bedroom.
Zuo Lingquan knew that Tang Jingxuan lived alone, so his belongings were probably stored in the bedroom. At this time, the fire had burned out the windows and was still smoking. The gold and silver might have been burned, so there would be nothing left.
.
He quickly stopped Tang Jingxun and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll look for you later. I'll look for you again when the rain stops."
Tang Jingxun was a little distracted, his face no longer had the cheerful enthusiasm of the past, only grievances remained on his face, and he murmured:
"They were all left by my parents. They were all in the house. They were all set on fire. I...I..."
Tang Jingxuan has lived alone for so many years, and would rather live out her old age than marry, just to protect her family's property from being plundered by the Chen family. Now that a fire has destroyed everything, how can she accept it?
.
Zuo Lingquan wiped Tang Jingxuan's stained cheek with his sleeve, swept away the hair sticking to his cheek, and said softly:
"It's okay, it's just a few houses. I'll find someone to build them for you tomorrow. It won't cost much money."
"no……"
Tang Jingxuan sobbed, with indescribable grievance in his eyes: "The belongings left behind by my parents...were converted into silver notes, tens of thousands of taels, all put in jewelry boxes...burned away...wuwu...
…”
Tens of thousands taels?!
Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, his eyes dull.
But then I thought about it, Tang Jingxun inherited the ancestral business of my grandfather's family, so it is not surprising that he has so much family wealth.
Then the loss is a bit big...
Tang Jingxun was originally a little obsessed with money, but suddenly became destitute. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he no longer wanted to live.
But before she could even whimper, the black coal briquettes in her hand chirped twice and pointed at the corner of the courtyard wall with its beak.
Tang Jingxuan sniffed and turned around to take a look, only to see that under the corner where she was hiding just now, in addition to the wet bedding that fell to the ground, there was also a jewelry box that fell to the ground. Judging from the position, she should have been holding it just now.
In arms.
"Eh?……"
Tang Jingxun choked with tears.
Zuo Lingquan was also stunned, a little unbelievable:
"Sister Tang, everyone is so frightened, but you didn't forget to take out the jewelry box? Money is not as important as life."
When Tang Jingxun saw the safe and sound jewelry box, the sadness on his face subsided a bit, and he wanted to run over and pick it up.
Zuo Lingquan was afraid that she would get sick from the heavy rain, so he raised his hand to stop her, went over to pick up the jewelry box, and handed it to Tang Jingxun:
"Okay, okay, the money is all here. How can a rich woman with tens of thousands of taels of silver cry about a few houses?"
Tang Jingxuan took the jewelry box and held it in her arms. Her mood gradually recovered and she whispered:
"It costs money to repair a house..."
She lowered her head and looked at the robe she was wearing. She didn't know when she put it on. She felt like she was wearing a small garment underneath. She wasn't too embarrassed, but she just said doubtfully:
"Xiao Zuo, why are you here?"
Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and pointed at the heavy rain in the sky:
"When I was in Qihuang Valley, I saw that there was something weird about the thunder and rain here, so I ran over here. I didn't expect that there was a fire here, but luckily it rained in time."
Tang Jingxuan also showed a bit of joy in his eyes, holding the jewelry box and bowing to God:
"Fortunately, God bless me. If it hadn't rained, I don't know how many people would have been burned to death, and the entire Linhefang would have been destroyed..."
Although Zuo Lingquan felt that the heavy rain was strange, the fire was even weirder. After the two phases were neutralized, nothing serious happened.
Things like celestial phenomena are too mysterious. Zuo Lingquan, a simple Taoist, can't understand them, so he doesn't explore them. He looked around:
"Sister Tang, do you still have any clothes? I'll take you out to find a place to stay first. Be careful of the wind and cold if your clothes get soaked."
Tang Jingxuan tightened her tight robe. Seeing that Zuo Lingquan was soaked in the rain, she felt that standing here was not enough. She looked around and saw that the backyard and the wine shop had been burned. It was said that even the clothes were intact.
I couldn't find any cloth, so I could only shake my head:
"It's gone. Let's go to the inn and look for it again."
Zuo Lingquan just saw that Tang Jingxun was naked underneath his robe. There were so many people on the street, so going out like this would ruin his reputation, so he thought to let Tang Jingxun wait while he went out to find some clothes first.
.
But before Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, he heard the sound of trotting outside the courtyard wall, and a familiar voice:
"Miss Tang? Miss Tang?"
Jiang Yi's voice sounded a little anxious.
Zuo Lingquan didn't expect Jiang Yi to come here, so he quickly said:
"Jiang Yi?"
"Left...eh?"
Within two words, a figure jumped over from the courtyard wall.
Jiang Yi was wearing a black and red palace dress, but she was wearing a policeman-style raincoat and bamboo hat. She was mostly wet. She climbed over the wall and looked up, and found Zuo Lingquan standing on the eaves without wearing a robe.
Below: Tang Jingxuan is in a mess, wrapped in a robe, with wet hair sticking to his face, and tears still hanging on his face.
Because the fire just now was too scary, Jiang Yi understood at this time and was not jealous. She just said strangely:
"Why are you here?"
Zuo Lingquan waved Jiang Yi over, stood under the eaves, and explained:
"Just now, the moon in Qihuang Valley was sparse, but it was raining heavily here, so I ran over to take a look. How is it outside?"
Jiang Yi also noticed the strangeness of the rain, but it extinguished the fire. She could only feel grateful:
"Fortunately, there was a heavy rain. There was a fire more than 20 years ago. People have experience. The fire ran away and was extinguished quickly. No one was killed, but a lot of people were injured."
Jiang Yi came to the two of them, looked at Tang Jingxun, and found no damage, then said:
"I was busy asking the officials to put out the fire just now, so I didn't pay attention here. After I was busy, I remembered that Miss Tang was fine. Fortunately."
Zuo Lingquan understood that Jiang Yi was a relative and friend who cared about him, and smiled softly:
"I'm determined."
When Tang Jingxuan heard "Let the officials put out the fire", and then thought about the relationship between Jiang Yi and Zuo Lingquan, he naturally understood who the big girl in front of him was. Thinking of the previous quarrel with Jiang Yi, and saying that Jiang Yi had a bad temper, Tang Jingxuan thought for a moment that he had a bad temper.
Showing fear, he whispered:
"The girl turned out to be Her Royal Highness...well...last time..."
Jiang Yi didn't care about these details, she just said: "It's okay." She looked at Tang Jingxun's appearance, turned around and said:
"I have a house nearby, which has been vacant for many years. Let's go and settle there first."
Jiang Yi is the eldest princess. The property of the Jiang family is spread all over the capital, so it is normal to have a house.
Zuo Lingquan didn't say much, helped hold Tang Jingxun's jewelry box and walked into the rain.
The rainstorm was so heavy that there was no intention of stopping in a short time, so it was obviously a pain to walk slowly.
Jiang Yi didn't even ask for Tang Jingxun's opinion. She raised her hand and carried Tang Jingxun on her shoulders, and flew up to the eaves, making the little bird dumplings chirp in fear.
Tang Jingxuan's eyes were stunned. He didn't expect the princess to be so aggressive. She couldn't resist, so she just lay on her shoulders and said dizzily:
"Your Highness Princess, please put me down and I will go by myself..."
Snapped--
A crisp sound came from the rain curtain.
Zuo Lingquan staggered, feeling that the voice was so elastic. He turned around with a startled look in his eyes.
Jiang Yi is very vindictive. Mr. Yu will not embarrass Tang Jingxun. In private, revenge must be taken. She slapped Tang Jingxun on the buttocks and said in a deep voice:
"be honest."
Tang Jingxuan's clothes were wet and clinging to her body. Jiang Yi's hands were so strong that her back was numb when he patted her.
Tang Jingxun has a fierce personality and has never been a woman who can tolerate compromises. This can be seen from the fact that she is lonely and has to fight with the Chen family.
Suddenly being slapped so hard, Tang Jingxuan said "Ah~" and instinctively glared:
"You bitch...cough, princess, you..."
