famous concubine

Chapter 551
At this moment, how can the old lady not be in a hurry; how can she walk around slowly like before.

It's a pity that she is getting old after all, no matter how impatient she is, she still can't do what she wants to run.

Unable to run, I looked back and saw the fire flickering inside, and the fire was getting stronger and stronger.

The old lady no longer cared about her demeanor and image, she opened her voice and yelled sharply like knocking on a broken gong: "Come on, come on quickly, the warehouse is on fire!"

But because of the distance, the place where she was located was empty, and the house where the servants lived was far away; even though she shouted with all her strength, there was still no movement after shouting for a long time.

She was so angry that it took her a long time to react. The sound of her shout seemed to be blown away by the wind as soon as she exited.In desperation, she had no choice but to continue to run into the house desperately.

"Xiaoyu, it's too dangerous inside. Just wait outside and let them go in and move things out." After the old lady ran away without a trace, several trees suddenly merged with the night on a big tree near the warehouse. A single figure jumped down from the tree.

And among them, there was a pair of stunning young men and women standing on the tree branches, leisurely looking at the flames below.

The girl stared at the young man who was hiding in the shadows, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, dissatisfied: "It's such an interesting thing, you just let me hide here and watch, how boring."

"Xiaoyu, you promised me in advance that you would not take any risks yourself, so I promised to come here to help you." The tall and handsome young man sighed with some helplessness, and calmly stopped the The eyes are full of young girls who are eager to try.

Dongfang Yu stared dissatisfied at the man in white clothes like snow, and sneered in his heart.

She didn't ask him to help at all; he volunteered and stepped in; she knew he would stop her; so when she and the aunt made this plan, she didn't expect him to be involved at all.

While the two were talking on the tree, several hidden doors rushed into the warehouse, and came out with piles of treasures; they were like porters, moving the things inside out; and then Move a bunch of stuff in there.

It didn't take long for these efficient porters who were overqualified and underused by a certain language to evacuate almost all the things that the old lady had treasured for a lifetime.

When the old lady was in a panic and called a group of servants to put out the fire, Dongfangyu, Mobai and the free porters had long since disappeared without a trace.

"You guys, put out the fire!" The old lady was startled and anxious, and she was standing outside the warehouse with a cane like a candle in the wind, directing and yelling.

The servants of Cijing Hall naturally did not dare to be negligent, and they all kept running between the well and the storeroom with all their strength.

An hour later, the fire in the storehouse, which was accidentally started by the old lady herself, finally extinguished slowly into a few sparks when everyone was sweating profusely.

Seeing the scorched black warehouse in front of her eyes, the old lady was so anxious that her eyes almost went black and she was about to pass out.

But she was eager to know how many of her treasures were still intact in this fire; so when she was so anxious, she still held her breath and tremblingly walked towards the scorched warehouse .

But when she walked into the warehouse where the ground was still astonishingly hot, what she saw was black scorching; according to the location of the treasures in her memory, she tremblingly reached out to touch them, who would have expected...

Unexpectedly, when the old lady stretched out her hand, just as her finger touched the precious porcelain vase with a thin mouth and long neck, that porcelain vase, which was covered with a layer of dust, turned into ashes in an instant, like a sand dune castle that suddenly collapsed between her fingers ; It collapsed silently with a bang, and in her eyes of endless anticipation, it turned into ashes in an instant; let her see the real ashes disappear.

The old lady's old face, which was already gloomy, anxious and wrinkled, suddenly turned into a color blacker than gray in the absolutely shocking ashes of the treasure.

She couldn't believe it no matter what, that priceless treasure was burned to ashes after such a fire.

How is this possible?
The porcelain bottle itself is made by calcination, so how can it be afraid of fire?

The old lady's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe what she saw for a long time, and she couldn't figure it out; even thinking of the knot in her head, she couldn't figure out the strangeness of it.

The vase is gone.The jewels... She rolled her eyes, a little bit of anticipation appeared in her shocked and pained heart, she almost staggered, she turned around, and walked to the place where she usually put the jewels.

The jewelry box turned into black charcoal in the fire; she stared wide-eyed, although the jewels in the black charcoal were covered with soot and black dust; but the pearls were dusty, as long as she let someone wipe them, the jewels were still dazzling jewels.

But she was afraid that there would be some unbearable changes in it, just like the porcelain vase just now; she carefully stretched out her hand halfway, but she didn't stretch it forward for a long time.

The old lady was afraid, she was afraid from the bottom of her heart, the fire in front of her would really burn everything she owned.I am afraid that what looks like dusty jewelry in front of me is like a dream in the end.

When you touch it, it breaks easily.

She struggled silently in her heart for a while, and then the hand that was withdrawn in the middle slowly moved towards the charcoal black wooden box inch by inch.

When she was about to touch the still steaming charcoal box, she couldn't help holding her breath, closed her eyes, turned her head to one side, and dared to slowly move her fingers in one by one.

I touched it, round and pink, perhaps because it was covered with soot and black dust, it didn't seem to be as smooth as usual, but at least it didn't become shattered when touched by her fingertips. The touch still has a certain hardness.

At this time, the old lady dared to slowly open her eyes, and then let out a long and rough breath.

"Mother Gui, have someone come over and take out the things in this box, and clean and wipe carefully."

The old lady was relieved, her frightened heart finally felt a little comforted.

Mama Gui immediately called two people to carry the charred box out; however, the old lady never expected at this moment that these jewels that had been verified by her could not withstand washing.

She was happy and continued to walk to another place where gold and silver jewelry were stored; according to her estimation, the fire seemed to be very fierce, but this was a warehouse after all, and except for some high-quality clothing and fabrics, there were only curtains Boxes and treasure chests can catch fire.

Basically, every time Dongfang Rou returns to her natal home, she will send a batch to Dongfang Rou; therefore, there are not many things stored in the warehouse right now; even if all these things are burned; Gold and silver jewelry were burnt to melt into gold, mercury and water.

As the old lady made such calculations, her flustered heart calmed down a bit.
