Wuwang reminds book friends to rest their eyes

In the dream is a vast ocean, boundless

.

She struggled, exhausted.

Suddenly a wave rolled over, somehow, the waves of the waves turned into raging flames, and the skin felt the pain of being burned.

Shu Huan suddenly opened her eyes, only to realize that the struggle in the dream caused her hand to touch out, knocking down the half-burned candle, the candle flame burned her skin, and also burned the straw, the dry straw When she saw the open flame, she immediately ignited it, and when she got up in shock and wanted to stamp out the fire, the fire had already spread ragingly.

This side room is surrounded by wooden walls. If the fire cannot be controlled in time, if it really burns, it is likely to spread to nearby houses.

"Fire! Open the door, open the door!"

Shu Huan was in a hurry, so she went over and kicked the door twice, before the door opened, she took the thin blanket in her hand and lashed out at the flames, causing sparks to scatter everywhere, almost threatening to set her on fire several times. s hair.

At this time, Xiangqian had gone back to her room to sleep, and Qiaoyun, who was dozing off in a daze, was guarding the outside. She was awakened, and when she was about to open the door, she touched her body, only to realize that the key was not with her, and ran away in a panic Find Shanxi.

This startled a lot of people, even Aunt Yun woke up, hurriedly asked what happened, she put on clothes and took Xiangqian and waited for the maid to come to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, before I could see clearly what was going on inside the house, a puff of thick smoke rolled out first, making everyone cry and cough.

Afterwards, Shu Huan came out with a smoky aura, sat down on the ground and coughed: "Water... bring water... there is still a small fire on..."

She tried her best, and finally controlled the fire from spreading, but she was almost smoked to death inside.

It is said that the small fire was not extinguished, but when the door was opened at this moment, the wind poured in, and the flames seemed to rise again. The servant girls were so panicked that they fetched water, lit lamps, searched for pots, and put out the fire. Can put the fire out.

Looking at the side room, half of the walls had been scorched black, and there were water stains everywhere, mixed with straw ash, dripping and dripping all over the place.

Shu Huan's appearance was not much better than that of the side room. His face was stained with gray stains, and his head was sweating again. His outer hair was loose, and a small part of it was scorched by the fire. His clothes were also wrinkled. He got up suddenly, and before he could put on his shoes, the white silk socks on his feet turned black.

.

But at this moment, Aunt Yun is beside her, her whole body is refreshing, her black hair hangs down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her hair is not messy.

Comparing the two, her embarrassment is particularly conspicuous.

All the maids looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at each other.

Aunt Yun frowned slightly: "Sister, this matter..."

Got into trouble again!

But why say again? It's not up to her to hang herself!

Shu Huan sighed inwardly, and got up from the ground: "I'm sorry, I fell asleep with the wax on, and I didn't expect it to cause a fire."

Huiyun hurried over and knelt down: "This is the maidservant's fault, and the candle was given to Second Grandma by the maidservant."

"Get up." Aunt Yun shook her head: "You told me about the candle, but I was careless and negligent..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw a white figure on the other side of the main room, hurriedly greeted her, and said anxiously: "Second Lord, why did you come out?"

Er Ye? Her sickly husband

Shu Huan looked over curiously, and met a pair of probing eyes in the shadow of lights and candles.

The corners of the eyes were slightly turned up, and there was a misty look in the eyes, and when he looked again, those eyes were as bright as clear springs.

Shu Huan was slightly surprised, as if he had seen such eyes somewhere.

Looking down, I saw the corners of his lips slightly raised, and there seemed to be no smile.

She looked at Gu Xiran from the beginning again, and saw that his face was clear and handsome, but he was three points young and youthful, and seven points could not hide his sickness. With a single scan, you can see into people's hearts.

It was clearly a stranger I had never met before, but those slightly familiar feelings lingered in my heart.

After looking at it for a moment, Aunt Yun over there was already anxious to help Gu Xiran into the house, and she still said in her mouth: "It's windy outside, and the second master caught the cold carefully."

. Go back to the house quickly, your body can't be sick anymore. "

Gu Xiran shook his head slightly, raised his hand to beckon Shu Huan: "Come here."

"Me?" Shu Huan was puzzled, but he had no choice but to move over: "What orders does Second Master have?"

Gu Xiran was not in a hurry to speak, but just scanned her from head to toe, seeing her dirty body, frowned involuntarily, and then said to the maids in the courtyard: "Go fetch some water."

Qiao Yun boldly replied: "Second Master, it's late at night, and the fire in the kitchen has already been turned off."

Gu Xiran's eyes swept over lightly.

Qiao Yun's heart trembled, and she quickly continued: "I'll go and see, maybe there is still warm water on the stove."

Hui Yun also hurriedly said: "If it's not enough, there is still a pot of water in the small tea room for the second master to drink tea at night."

Gu Xiran nodded: "I brought water and sent it to my room."

As he spoke, he looked down at Shu Huan: "Help me into the house."

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Yun let go of his hand in embarrassment, and stood aside silently.

Shu Huan was even more puzzled, he didn't know which song he was singing, but he felt that he was caught between him and Aunt Yun, and she was suspected of being a mistress. Looking at the white jacket on his body, he changed his mind immediately, with a smile on his lips, he stretched out his hand grinningly, grabbed his arm and squeezed it in.

Xiao Mian, let you pretend to be a master, and ruin your clothes!

After helping Gu Xiran back into the room and letting him sit on the chair in the hall of the main room, Shu Huan let go of his hand.

As expected, there were two smudged black handprints on the sleeves of the white tunic.

Shu Huan lowered his eyes and suppressed a smile.

Gu Xiran naturally also saw the stain on the sleeve, and was speechless.

After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Aunt Yun who was following her: "Bring me the clothes you changed into."

. "

Aunt Yun hesitated a little, nodded and went away. After a while, she brought two sets of clothes, one was naturally for Gu Xiran to replace, and the other was for Shu Huan. Two rough men carrying bath tubs followed her in. The servant girl, and finally Huiyun, who was holding some balm, powder and sesame oil in her hand.

Seeing this, and remembering that Gu Xiran had just asked for water, Shu Huan was suddenly embarrassed, and had to ignore the awkward and dull atmosphere, and said bravely, "Well, I'll go back to my room to wash, and I don't need to bring these things here."

Aunt Yun didn't answer, she just looked at Gu Xiran, waiting for his signal.

Gu Xiran picked up the tea bowl, lowered his eyes and said, "Carry them all to the inner room."

Aunt Yun felt sore, she hurriedly concealed it and bowed her head in response, and took the maids to the inner room to prepare.

Before time-traveling, Shu Huan was still a sophomore. No matter how open-minded she was, she was not open enough to have a one-night stand with a stranger. No matter what happened in the bridal chamber on the day the original owner got married, she wanted to hang herself. To put it bluntly, the master in front of me is a stranger, and it took less than ten minutes from the meeting to this meeting. In such a short period of time, she can't bear to bathe and change clothes in this room!

In a hurry, she couldn't care about anything else, so she opened her mouth and said, "It's not good for you to do this, right?"

Gu Xiran pursed her lips slightly, and put down the tea bowl: "You're already married, so why worry about this?"

depressed!

But marrying in is a fact, she is his legal wife.

Shu Huan couldn't refute, so he could only politely say: "Second Master, you have not recovered from your illness, I... I am also thinking about your health..."

The words were extremely awkward, and she blushed with embarrassment.

Gu Xiran glanced at her, with a smile on his lips: "It's okay, you are not interested in your small body like bean sprouts."
