Delicate Flower

Chapter 1 Fire

The fire soared into the sky, and half of the sky was crackled red. The heat wave rushed past the sumo wrestling, and everyone around them was rushing away: “The water is gone! The water is gone!”

Yu Tang’s legs were weak. If it weren’t for the maid Shuangtao to support her, she would have fallen to the ground.

“Miss, Miss!” Shuangtao was so frightened by the scene that she couldn’t speak, “How could this be? It’s not that Pei’s nursing home would get up in the middle of the night to inspect their shop with the people from the Yamen, the third master of Pei’s family. It is said that this summer is very hot, the sky is dry and things are dry, and I am afraid of water. A few days ago, I specially asked people to set up 38 large water tanks on both sides of Changxing Street. Every day, the shopkeepers of various shops filled the tanks. Water, why does Changxing Street use water? Then, what about our shop?”

Yup!

What about their shop?

Yu Tang’s eyes were moist, and the image in front of him was a little fuzzy.

She was born again!

And he was reborn in the evening when their shop was burned.

Her family is beautiful, and her brothers and sisters are close to each other, and she has grown up smoothly. Prior to this, the most unsatisfactory in life was that her parents would not let her climb the tree down the river, and kept her from studying female celebrity from going out. As a result, the memory seemed smooth and warm, but the impression was not deep. Only this summer, a sudden fire destroyed all shops on Changxing Street. The lacquer shop in her and uncle’s house was not spared either. Not only the materials in the shop were burned, but the warehouses and workshops in the backyard of the shop were also burned out. The goods that were about to be delivered were gone, and the precious templates left by the ancestors were gone. Therefore, the Yu family was in a state of restlessness. Began to fall apart.

Someone not far away wanted to rush into the shop to put out the fire, but was buried in the fire by a beam that suddenly collapsed.

“The master! The master!” The woman ran over to save people, but she didn’t know what to do, and was stopped by someone.

There were also men who fell to the ground, slapped their legs and cried: “How can this make us live?”

Yu Tang and Shuang Tao were hit on their shoulders by people who came over after hearing the news, and Shuang Tao recovered.

She hurriedly pulled Yu Tang aside and said eagerly, “Miss, my wife is still sick, and the master is not at home. You ran out without telling a word…”

Yu Tang also recovered.

For Shuangtao at this time, she was just swinging on a swing and not standing still, falling from the air, and unconscious for a long time; but for her, she had already experienced family trouble, her parents had died, her fiancé died young, and her widows stayed at the festival. Coveted by the uncle’s brother, he finally escaped from her husband’s house, but was killed in the sanctuary that sheltered her.

This fire is certainly important, but more importantly, it is her mother’s condition.

Her father, Yu Wen, and her mother, Chen’s , have a deep affection. Even if her mother hurt her body when she gave birth to her, his father loved her mother and her like a treasure. There has never been a gap, but her mother has been born since she was born. Lingering sickbed, medication was used for seven days within ten days. Her father learned from a friend a few days ago that the imperial doctor Yang Douxing had returned to his hometown, so he rushed to Suzhou to seek medical advice for his mother.

In the previous life, his father returned without success, and her mother was frightened because she fell off the swing, her condition worsened, and she was bedridden. His father made up his mind to take his mother to find another imperial doctor Wang Bai who lived in Putuo Mountain for treatment, but on the way back, he encountered wind and waves and overturned the boat and died.

“Go, hurry home!” Yu Tang suddenly became anxious, pulling Shuang Tao and ran home.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute!” Shuang Tao ran after her panting, and said face to face, “Where are you going? Home is over there!”

Yu Tang stopped and was silent for a moment.

She hadn’t been back to her home in Qingzhu Alley for ten years, and she didn’t remember that there was such a path from Changxing Street to Qingzhu Alley.

Maybe it’s because Changxing Street has gone, and this secluded alley is also walking around on weekdays, but everyone is in a hurry, and when they look up at her, they pass her with a heavy face.

The courtyard of the Yu family’s back hall is quiet, and clusters of tall and tall Xiangfei bamboo branches and leaves are standing quietly in the moonlight. The noise and chaos of Changxing Street seems to be a matter of another world.

The mother’s cough was clear and audible, and there was a faint hissing sound, which split his lungs: “How is Atang? Is he awake?”

The one who answered her mother was the personally serving old lady Chen: “I woke up early in the morning and said that it would be better to eat sweet-fried chestnuts. You said, this season, where can I find her sweet-fried chestnuts? Tricked me to a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus water Yes, I ate three more peach crisps, and then I stopped.”

Yu Tang’s tears welled up.

In her previous life, she was heartless. Her mother was sick all the year round. She didn’t think it was a problem. Instead, by falling off the swing, she cheated and cheated and did everything her mother would not allow her to do. All over. When her father took her mother to ask for medicine, she clamored for her father to bring her two bags of Poria powder before leaving the house, otherwise she would not endorse the letter.

“Mummum!” Yu Tang yelled uncontrollably while standing in front of her mother’s door.

The door opened with a creak.

Mrs. Chen poked her head out, winking at her, and said: “What do you want to eat again, Miss? At this time, the fire in the stove is gone. At most, I will make you a bowl of fried rice to cushion your belly, no matter how much. But no more.”

Yu Tang was stunned.

She was no longer the little girl who was held in her palm by her father, carefree, and knew nothing.

Granny Chen looked different, and her mind was spinning quickly.

Could it be that at this time in the previous life, the mother’s condition was no longer well?

Yu Tang’s face sank, and the gaze looking at Granny Chen couldn’t help being a little dignified. She gestured towards Granny Chen to follow me, but her voice was a little bit pampered by a little girl: “My mother’s mother. Is the illness better? I’m not hungry, I just want to say a few words to my mom.”

This kind of Yu Tang made Po Chen very unfamiliar and very surprised. But she didn’t have time to think about it, and nodded to Yu Tang, but she stopped her when she said: “My wife has just taken the medicine, and she has stopped washing and washing. If you have anything to do with the eldest lady, come here tomorrow!”

Yu Tang craned her neck and looked towards the wing.

The mother, who was still talking to Granny Chen just now, didn’t say a word.

Obviously, I don’t want to see her.

Yu Tang’s heart was heavy, she tried to imitate her voice when she was fifteen years old: “That’s good! I’ll go back to sleep first. Do you remember to tell my mom I’ve been here.”

“Remember! Remember!” Old lady Chen smiled, and said, “This is cold and dewy, I’ll send the eldest lady back to the house!”

This season, how can there be any wind and dew? Just looking for an opportunity to talk to her in private.

Yu Tang responded, and went to her own wing next to her with Granny Chen.

Because I was walking in a hurry, the quilt was still thrown in a mess on the bed, and the soft shoes were all over the place, one in front of the bed and the other in the middle of the room. Granny Chen yelled at Shuangtao in a low voice, “How did you serve the eldest lady? The room is messy. If you let your wife see this, I will teach you again.”

Shuang Tao blushed and turned around to clean up the room.

Yu Tang took Mrs. Chen and said, “What’s wrong with Mom? Don’t fool me with words. I know that it is Liu Sandie of Jimintang who often visits our house to treat Mommy. I will go to Jimintang to look for it. he goes.”

Granny Chen glanced at Yu Tang in surprise.

Yu Tang grew up spoiled by her family. Although she did not raise any crooks, she was not a strong girl. This was the first time she was so aggressive.

Granny Chen couldn’t help but hesitate.

Yu Tang knows his own affairs. To say that it sounds good is to have no scheming, and to say that it is not to sound is to have no brains. Naturally, she was not relying on what happened at home, and no one would tell her.

She simply said to Mrs. Chen: “Look at my appearance, unkempt, I just ran out, Changxing Street was flooded, and our shop was burned.”

With the light like a bean, Po Chen realized that Yu Tang’s clothes were not well-dressed. She said in amazement, “What are you talking about? There is a flood on Changxing Street?”

Yu Tang nodded: “The goods in the shop are all gone. The fields will not be profitable until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they have to see a doctor for Mom, and there is no money at home.”

This is not because she fooled Granny Chen.

This was the case in the previous life.

The Yu family has a small capital, and it is unlikely that the two shops will be burnt down. But this time through the water, a batch of goods ordered by others in the warehouse was also burned, and the Yu family lost a large sum of money. His father bought from a friend the “Song Lake Fishing Hidden Picture” by Li Tang in the past. When it was time to pay the money, the mother did not want her father to be disappointed, so she sold the family’s 30 acres of high-quality farmland. When the father took her mother to Mount Putuo, she sold the family’s 20 acres of farmland with her mother behind her back. After passing away, for a decent funeral, she sold the remaining 50 acres of fertile land.

The inheritance that grandfather assigned to his father is gone, and the uncle has also encountered problems there, and there is no way to help her.

Only then will she agree to the marriage of the Li family.

The thought flashed, Yu Tang’s expression became heavy again.

She said with a cold face: “If anything happens to Mom, Dad will not forgive you when he comes back!”

Granny Chen couldn’t laugh or cry.

She is Chen’s companion room and Chen’s nurse. Chen’s is not good, she is more anxious than anyone else, and more distressed than anyone else, the eldest lady actually threatened her.

But seeing such an eldest lady, she was inexplicably relieved.

She thought for a while and told Yu Tang: “The weather is too hot, and my wife is bitter in the summer, and she can’t eat anything. She is worried about your injury, but also worried that the master is running around and cannot eat well. People who can’t sleep, people look thinner. Circle, I dare not let you know.”

Yu Tang felt guilty and blamed himself.

In her previous life, she always worries her parents. She has never been a caring little padded jacket for her parents, let alone relying on it.

Thinking of this, Yu Tang couldn’t help putting his hands together and chanting “Amitabha Buddha” towards the west.

In the previous life, she was not a devout believer, but the Bodhisattva pityed her and made her go back to the present, back to the time when her parents were still there. She will definitely cherish the present time and not let the hatred of the previous life happen again. The family is fragmented and the relatives are separated.

Yu Tang’s tears fell like rain.
