Chapter 368: The West Mansion is in trouble
Shen Rong hesitated for a while between Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, and finally chose to dig a ginseng.
By the time Shen Rong finished cleaning up the ginseng, it was already late.
After what happened last night, Shen Rong didn't dare let Changsheng and the two children sleep on the bed outside, so she let them sleep on the wooden bed where they usually took naps.
This wooden bed was made when she and Changsheng were building the wooden house. Due to Changsheng's limited craftsmanship, the wooden bed was very simple, but very spacious and could accommodate the whole family.
However, Shen Rong did not plan to sleep in the space. If Chun Xing found out that there was no one in the room, it would be difficult to explain.
Changsheng saw Shen Rong was about to go out, and hurriedly pulled Shen Rong, "I want to go out and sleep too."
Changsheng didn't know what happened last night. He just had the habit of doing everything with his wife.
Seeing that Changsheng was stubbornly pulling at her clothes and not letting her leave, Shen Rong had no choice but to wait until the two children fell asleep before taking Changsheng outside.
After Shen Rong and Changsheng coaxed the two children to sleep, it was already late when they came out of the space.
It's spring all year round in this space, so it's not cold outside.
Spending the winter in the north is not like in Taohua Village in the south, where they sleep on beds at night and keep warm by the fire during the day. Here they sleep on kangs in winter.
At first Shen Rong didn't know it was a kang. She saw that it had all the necessary facilities, such as a bed, a fence, and a frame, and thought it was the same as the one they had in the south. But at night, the bed felt warm, and after asking Chun Xing, she realized that it was a kang.
Yesterday, the two children saw that the bed was warm and were so curious that they took a long time to fall asleep.
The two had just laid down for a while when Shen Rong suddenly saw something outside seem to be lit up, and vaguely heard a noise.
Just as Shen Rong was wondering, someone knocked on the door.
"Master, there's a fire in the West Mansion, come out quickly!"
Shen Rong didn't quite hear what was said. Changsheng, who was very observant, quickly got up and put on his clothes. "It's on fire. Put it out!"
Shen Rong then hurriedly got up and put on her coat. Knowing that the fire was in the West Mansion, she let the two children sleep in the space.
When the two came out of the house, the shouting outside became much clearer. Even though Shen Rong couldn't see the situation over there at the moment, she knew the situation was not good just by listening to the sound.
Shen Rong didn't have any good feelings towards the West Mansion, and was not in a hurry at all. As for Chun Xing, who was leading the way in front, although she seemed to be shouting anxiously just now, after Shen Rong and Changsheng came out, she actually led the two of them slowly to the neighboring West Mansion.
"There was a flood in the West Mansion in the middle of the night. The old lady asked the masters to go over and see if there was anything they could do to help."
There was nothing wrong with Chun Xing's words, but her leisurely attitude made it seem as if she was going to watch a show rather than help put out the fire.
The West Palace is adjacent to the East Palace, with the front door and side door separated by only an alley.
Shen Rong just came out from the backyard, and before she reached the side door, she saw flames rising into the sky, and shouts and curses resounding through the sky.
When Shen Rong arrived at the east door, Old Madam Li was already standing there watching!
At this time, the old lady was holding Nanny Hua and looking at the opposite side expressionlessly. Her face, which looked kind and upright in the daytime, seemed somewhat mysterious under the flickering firelight.
Shen Rong bowed to Madam Li and said, "Hello, Madam."
Li looked at Shen Rong and Changsheng, wiped her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand, and said sadly: "Alas! In this winter, you must be careful to keep warm. If you are not careful, it will burn your house."
"The old lady is right. I guess one of the servants was not paying attention and that's why the house caught fire." Shen Rong said calmly, looking at the opposite side.
Through the wide open door opposite, Shen Rong's servants were running back and forth with basins and buckets to fetch water to put out the fire. Not far away, a number of masters were standing, one giving orders and the other giving orders, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
"I don't know what's going on over there. The servants have already gone to help. Let's take a look first!" said Mrs. Li in a deep voice.
Shen Rong looked at the distance between the two houses and said:
"Madam, please be merciful. It's very cold in the middle of the night. Why don't you go inside first? Changsheng and I will watch from here and make sure not even a spark of fire flies to our East Mansion."
Li looked at Shen Rong in surprise, then nodded, "Forget it, I'm old, so I won't bother with you anymore. Wait until the fire is out and go back to rest."
She did not reject Shen Rong's kindness. She was really not easily affected by the cold at her age. However, such a big thing happened next door. If there was no master in the East Mansion to take care of it, people would definitely gossip about it when they found out.
Just now, Li stood in the cold wind, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have set fire to the yard at this time. Not only did she have to suffer the cold here in the middle of the night, but the smoke from the fire was really suffocating.
Li felt disgusted with the masters of the West Mansion for being so naive. It had been so long, and the fire had not been under control yet.
Although she had someone secretly set the fire, she had no intention of burning down the entire West Mansion. She only planned to burn down the storehouse.
But if the fire continued to spread outward like this, the house in the west mansion would be burned out and uninhabitable. If she didn't help them and they came to her for help, she would lose face, and if she helped, she would feel bad.
According to Li's original plan, he would have someone set fire to the West Mansion's warehouse and burn all of the West Mansion's savings without implicating innocent people.
But she didn't expect that those people in Xifu were so irresponsible. The fire had been burning for such a long time and several houses had collapsed, but the fire had not been brought under control.
At this moment, Li was really looking forward to destroying the past.
After Li left, Sixth Grandpa and Sixth Grandma heard the noise and came over. Seeing that nothing happened, the two old people went back to the yard to rest after Shen Rong's persuasion.
There are many servants in the West Mansion. There are dozens of masters in the West Mansion, young and old. You can imagine how many servants are serving in the mansion.
After the servants from their East Mansion went over and poured water on the fire, the fire was brought under control. However, because the fire was discovered late at night, by the time the fire was completely extinguished, the warehouse had already collapsed.
Mrs. Chen brought two servants to the east door to express her gratitude and informed Mrs. Li that the fire had been put out.
But when she saw Shen Rong and Changsheng inside the door, her already dark face became even darker.
She thought that the East Palace had borrowed servants to help put out the fire, and Li would wait until the fire was out before going back. However, she didn't expect that the servants were not there at all, and it was the person she hated the most who was guarding.
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she glared at Shen Rong and the other person, then turned and left.
At this time, Da Chen and others did not suspect that the arsonist was extremely careful in doing things, and the people in Xifu just thought that the fire happened because the weather was too dry.
Seeing this, Shen Rong saw Mrs. Chen turned around and left without saying a word, but she didn't care. She waited for the servants who went out to help to come back, and then she asked them to close the door tightly and guard it.
