第488章 祝融之灾
秦鸢不明所以。

红叶道:“奴婢都进来这么久了,没见到侯爷,是不是……”

秦鸢有心逗弄她,笑道:“他不是早就出去了,在前院呢。”

红叶不敢置信,“侯爷怎么神不知鬼不觉的就出去了,奴婢一直在外面守着,没见他出去啊。”

秦鸢笑道:“你可千万别在后面议论侯爷,被抓包又不是一回两回了。”

红叶马上不出声了。

过了没多久,外面的小丫头在叫:“天啊,那边怎么红彤彤一片,半边天都亮了。是发生了什么?走水了吗?”

秦鸢也出来,倚着阑干往北边望去,一片通红之处正是质子府的方向。

顾侯爷还真雷厉风行。

才半个时辰多一点的功夫,质子府已然是火光冲天。

红叶和翠茗也跟着凑过来一起看。

翠茗道:“不知是谁家失了火,这些日子一直不下雨,天干物燥,可要小心烛火。”

红叶也道:“可不是么,这么大的火,还不要将整个府都烧了。重新修起来,那要花多少银子多少心血。”

秦鸢只是笑。

翠茗道:“此地离咱们这里也不算很远,那一片都住着权贵人家,肯定不在少数。”

两人未曾经过多少事,自然说不出来要多少银子,只是猜测不会太少。

秦鸢想了想道:“那要看怎么修了,若是没钱,也只能粉刷一番,将就着住了,几十两银子也管够。若是有钱,全部重修起来,雕梁画栋哪一样不要请好的匠人来?园景毁坏也得重建,少则千两,多则几十万两银子也不在话下。”

说起来这事,秦鸢心中一动。

前世太子妃将东宫的寝居俱都抹上了胡椒泥,取多子好孕之意。

这若是等到胡椒的价格涨起来……也是不小的一笔数。

且太子大婚花费奢靡,只靠内库补贴远远不够,这钱财又是从何处来?

红叶听了直咋舌。

“我滴个娘来,要这么多银子?”

翠茗道:“而且还要花许多功夫,这些东西重新建造,还不得一年半载的。这家的主人只怕要肉疼死,银子还不花得跟流水一样。”

秦鸢也跟着感叹了一番,“也不知是谁家?”

有好事的人早就去了前院寻人打听,好半天过来回话:“说是质子府烧了。”

“哈哈哈,原来是他家。”

红叶笑了起来。

顾宝珠也跑了来,道:“三嫂,你知道不,野驴们遭报应了,连家都烧了,我三哥呢?”

秦鸢瞧见她就头疼,看了看天色问:“你怎么这个时辰了还往这里跑?我都换上寝衣准备歇下了。你三哥只怕是在审耶律贤勇?”

顾宝珠伸伸舌头,笑道:“那好吧,我先回去了。三哥随时都会回来,我就不留在这里了。嫂子别怕,不过是失个火,离咱们这里还远着呢。府里那么多人,烧不到咱们这里。”

秦鸢笑道:“原来你是担心惊着我了。不妨事,我们这里不是在看热闹么,也什么瞧不见,不过说说闲话,待会儿就睡了。你也回去歇着吧,明早不是还要习武?”

顾宝珠应了一声,就道:“那三嫂我回去了。”

“嗯。”

秦鸢点头。

顾宝珠走了之后,红叶道:“七小姐这是学聪明了,明明是来打探消息的,偏说是来关心咱们小姐。”

翠茗拍了她一下:“就你聪明。”

红叶也回过味来,不说话了。

秦鸢假做没听到,“看着火光越来越大,想来这火难扑灭。五城兵马司和巡捕营的人只怕要忙一晚上了。”

翠茗便道:“明儿问问隔壁子就知道了。”

“对,明儿再向成嫂子细细打听,这会儿太晚了,我累了这么两天,也困了。都回去歇着罢,明日可要寻管家们议议如何防范祝融之灾才好。”

众人都散去了。

翠茗便暗暗啐了红叶一口,道:“你一天到晚胡说什么,你就差说这把火是侯爷放的了。”

红叶赶忙自个轻扇自个的脸,懊恼不已。

“我也不过是随口胡咧咧。”

翠茗道:“今儿都是自个人还好,若是改日到了外面你也这么着,闯了祸,谁能救得了你,只怕你还会连累别人呢。”

红叶央告道:“好姐姐,你日后多提点着我,你是知道我的,有时候说话不走心。”

翠茗正色道:“你每日开口前先想想,这话说出去有没有什么要紧再说。或者先数几个数,再张口。”

红叶点头应下。

秦鸢躺在床上还在想,就连顾宝珠和自个身边的丫鬟都这么猜,希望顾侯爷做事做得干净些才好。

第二日晨间醒来,摸了摸身侧。

没人。

被褥也不像用过的样子,看样子一夜未归。

秦鸢坐起身,唤人进来伺候。

墨竹和翠茗走了进来,秦鸢一边盥洗更衣,一边就问:“红叶呢?”

翠茗道:“红叶早早就去寻钱管事、韩管家和曹管家商议如何避免祝融之灾了。”

秦鸢便笑了笑。

这是去打听消息了。

早膳时,红叶便回来了,一边跟着秦鸢一起用膳,一边道:“昨夜侯爷带着府里的侍卫们帮着去救火了,这场火烧得太厉害了。”

秦鸢夹了只小小的豆腐皮肉包子,轻启红唇,咬了一半,慢慢嚼着,看着红叶,示意她继续说下去。

见秦鸢感兴趣,红叶又道:“我听十六说,本来质子府只是走火,不会烧那么大。谁知道怎么回事,有人在质子府的后门到了火油。”

秦鸢把包子全都咽下去了,喝了口稀粥,这才问:“查出来是谁倒的了么?”

“嗐,那怎么查,巡捕营的人说一直在巡夜,没发现可疑的人。”

翠茗就问:“周围的人家难道不来帮忙么?咱们这里离质子府可不算近。”

红叶就道:“周围的人家和五城兵马司的人都去了,你们猜怎么着,原先为了防祝融存的水恰好没多少了。大家提了水桶什么的想去帮忙,也帮不上。五城兵马司的人又不能看着火势蔓延,就让周围的人家都想办法往质子府用车运水呢。”

这可真够狠的。

秦鸢就问:“那旁边的人家被波及到没有。”

Author:

After being reborn, Qin Yuan discovers that her legitimate younger sister has also been reborn. Not only did her sister steal her husband from her previous life, the impoverished Juren, but she also insists on marrying her off to the Duke of Dingbei, her previous life’s brother-in-law. Although she is puzzled about why her younger sister behaves this way, one must seize a windfall when it falls from the sky!!! In her previous life, her younger sister envied her: “Qin Yuan could only pick what I discarded since childhood. Why is she now the Prime Minister's wife, enjoying honor and prestige while I am rejected by my husband and oppressed by a concubine, living a lonely life?” In this life, her younger sister is despairing: “Why is Qin Yuan doing even better?! Where did my Prime Minister's wife go? Why is my husband still a low-ranking official? Besides the difficult mother-in-law, there’s also a childhood friend cousin watching closely!” Qin Yuan laughs: “This forced title of Duchess handed to me is quite enjoyable. Tsk tsk… I can do business, excel in medicine, and possess strategies both in mind and stomach. In my previous life, this Prime Minister's wife was all planned by me, naïve little sister.” In her past life, her husband was firmly locked with her younger sister, so in this life, she won’t have to exert effort climbing up with him; isn’t it better to achieve success on her own? — The Duke of Dingbei, who married late to defend the border, becomes a god of war in uniform, and when he shaves his beard, he turns into a handsome young man, with countless women yearning for him. On their wedding night, he left his young wife, thinking he could just coax her. Later… he discovers that she doesn’t care at all and has been playing him. Daily life in the Duke’s residence: The Duke of Dingbei kneels at the door: “I know my wife has me in her heart, please give me another chance.” After a long pause, Qin Yuan replies: “Depends on my mood.” Others: Tsk tsk, the Duke is indeed the lady’s devoted dog, a professional.
