The latest website: In an instant, several fires ignited in the wing, and Pei Xiu's face turned pale with fright, "Go get the water, put out the fire..."

The other ladies also stood up in panic and shouted for their children.

Zhou Yong and the others found out when the first lantern was lit. They wanted to rush over to put out the fire first, but the children were either crying or screaming in fear. The maids on the side were also nervous about their little master. All of a sudden it was a mess, delaying their approach.

By the time they got close to the flames, the fire had grown so big that it reached the curtain, missing the best time to put out the fire.

The door of the private room has also been opened, and the people running out screamed in panic, "It's on fire, it's on fire, come and put out the fire~"

For a time, people in the restaurant panicked, and everyone ran out in a panic. The doors of the wing rooms that heard the movement were all opened, and they all went downstairs.

There are some women and children in their box. Zhou Yong and Zhou Yi are helping to put out the fire. The second child and Zhou Shan help evacuate the women and children in the box first, and let everyone go out and wait first, so as not to get in the way here.

Pei Xiu hugged the frightened wheat and touched her face. She felt more relieved that the child was okay.

She handed the wheat to the old second-hand and asked him to go out with everyone with the wheat on his back.

Without saying a word, the second child carried wheat on his back and went out with the crowd, and he also followed closely because his mother would follow.

Unexpectedly, when he walked out of the restaurant, he turned around but did not find Pei Xiu's figure, and became anxious for a while.

"Where's your mother?"

He held the wheat tightly, worried and afraid, looking around, surrounded by familiar people.

And Zhou Shan, eldest brother, and Zhou Yi brother have not come out yet. He looked anxiously at the burning second floor, the window was already billowing with smoke, and he was about to rush in when he saw the third child.

He quickly reached out and grabbed him, "Third brother..."

"Second brother, let me go. I'll go in and have a look. The fire isn't big now. I have to call my mother and eldest brother to come out quickly, but don't be stupid. The fire can't be put out. If the restaurant burns, it will burn."

"But…"

"Oh, it's nothing."

The third one pushed the second one away,

He rushed in again. Now the fire only burned to the adjacent box, and the first floor was still intact, so he dared to rush in.

Pei Xiu was afraid that the three children would be foolish, so she stayed behind, watching them go back and forth with the thick carpet to put out the fire, but the fire did not diminish at all, only extinguishing the small flames in a few corners.

Seeing that the people were almost gone, she persuaded them to leave as well.

"This restaurant is empty, let's go."

The boss almost knelt down in shock, "Mother, why haven't you left yet?"

Zhou Yi also looked back, "Have everyone gone, let's run too."

"Let's go, don't worry, I originally stayed to delay the time, so that everyone can disperse the crowd in time and run away."

Zhou Yong grabbed Zhou Shan, ran out with Zhou Yi, and ran with Pei Xiu who was waiting for them.

As soon as the third child ran in, he ran into them head-on.

Without talking, they took the third child and ran out together.

Today is Shangyuan Festival, and guards have been arranged in each street, just in case there is an accident.

As soon as they ran out, the soldiers arrived, leaving some to disperse the crowd, while the rest rushed in to put out the fire.

The second child saw that everyone ran out, and his heart finally let go, but fortunately there was no danger.

He just turned around and was terrified that he didn't see Pei Xiu, but now he felt scared and said with a little cry: "Mother, you scared me to death. My hands and feet were shaking for a while."

Pei Xiu touched the second son's face soothingly, "It's okay, mother was afraid that your elder brother and the others would delay the time and didn't know how to run, so she stayed to watch and remind them, so I just stayed for a while longer, nothing will happen."

The other ladies also came over and asked with concern, "Are you all right, Pei Xiu?"

"It's okay, you and I are on the front and back, just a cup of tea."

"Everyone is fine." Mrs. Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. "It's all my son's fault. I didn't hold the lantern properly and it burned. Fortunately, there were no casualties."

Pei Xiu hurriedly said, "How can you blame your son, he is still young, it's just that my boy is immature and gave the lanterns to the children to play with, I didn't expect the consequences."

"Hey, how can you blame them, they are also kind-hearted, those children are watching eagerly, and they can't make trouble."

"Oh, stop arguing, everyone has a share in tonight's matter, and no one can escape. After the fire is put out for a while, everyone will make compensation together." Mrs. Yang interrupted their dispute.

Mrs. Luo also agreed and said, "Yes, the fire in the restaurant started in our box. We are all responsible, and everyone is fine. Everyone waits here first, and when the fire is out, we will discuss the compensation with the owner."

Pei Xiu and Mrs. Qiu looked at each other and smiled, not taking responsibility for each other.

None of them is a master of money.

After selling cakes for half a year, she is now very loose on hand.

Taisun heard the news and was relieved to see Xuexi intact, "How could it catch fire?"

Xuexi originally came out with him to look at the lights, but he was entangled by several young masters and young ladies of the Liu family in Xinwuhou Mansion. Xuexi was unwilling to play with them, and just saw the Zhou family brothers and went with them. gone.

Just now, the guards also went to tell him, and he hurried over when he was worried, and forgot to ask the reason.

Everyone explained it to Taisun.

Tonight, the restaurant was full of people, so the guards brought by Princess Xuexi waited at the door of the restaurant and did not help put out the fire together.

When they saw that the county master was intact, they immediately separated two people, one went to find the soldiers guarding, and the other went to find Taisun to report.

It is not their duty to fight the fire. Their duty is to protect the county master. If the county master is lost because of the fire fighting, they will not be blamed.

Afraid that the lantern people would be crowded and it would be inconvenient to bring the guards, Zhou Shan didn't bring anyone with him when he came out tonight. Fortunately, everything was fine.

Tai Sun breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine."

Turning his head and instructing the guard beside him, "Check who owns this restaurant and see how to compensate."

"Yes."

Without waiting for the guards to leave, the second young master of the Liu family who followed immediately said, "This is my mother's dowry property."

"Oh?"

It was the second wife of the Marquis of Xinwu, so it would be inconvenient for him to come forward, because he was afraid of being cheated on.

Pei Xiu and Mrs. Qiu hurriedly negotiated, explained, and promised to be willing to compensate the loss according to the price.

Zhou Shan also stood up and said, "I also have a share in the gift of lanterns, and I am also responsible for the compensation. I have a share in the compensation."

Taisun tacitly agreed, and it was just right for several wives to come forward to compensate, and Zhou Shan's little uncle to bear it. He acted as a witness as an intermediary, and he was not afraid of the lion's open mouth in the Marquis of Wu's house, and he was justified.
