When Wen Jiaojiao heard Xiao Xuanan's words, she raised her head to look at him.
What do you mean she only wants one brother?
She actually has quite a few brothers, but none of them are as good to her as Xiao Xuanan.
Xiao Xuanan looked at these clear and bright eyes, and just as he was about to continue saying something, he heard a scream, and then various panic and noisy sounds rang out from the nearby ship.
Xiao Xuanan and Wen Jiaojiao followed the sound and saw that several flower boats nearby started to catch fire, and the people on the flower boats were frightened and screamed.
One of the flower boats was the one Wen Miaoran and the others were on, and it also caught fire.
"It's the Kongming Lantern that fell down."
When Wen Jiaojiao heard what Xiao Xuanan said, he also raised his head and looked up at the sky. He saw that the Kongming lanterns were released in the sky at unknown times. Some of the Kongming lanterns fell down a lot, whether due to quality problems or other problems.
People often put various lanterns and Kongming lanterns on Qingling Lake. Because the lake is large and close to the outside of the capital, it is not in a dense residential area. It is relatively safe to put these lanterns with flames.
But this time because of the lantern festival, Qingling Lake was crowded with flower boats, and many lanterns and colorful gauze were hung on the boats. When the Kongming lanterns fell down, they immediately caught fire.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, the burning ship had no time to splash water, and most of the people were frightened by the fire. They pushed and ran around in panic, knocking over the drinks on the table, and the fire became more intense.
Seeing that the fire was about to burn them, some people started to jump off the ship.
"Why is there such a big fire all of a sudden?"
Wen Wanzheng and Meng became frightened when they saw many boats in front of them were on fire, and hurriedly ordered their servants to keep an eye on their boats to prevent sparks from floating onto their boats.
Wen Wanzheng saw Wen Miaoran's brothers and sisters burning fire on the boat, and became anxious, "What should we do now?"
"Madam, don't worry, our ship is close to them. We can sail closer to them and put up two boards to take them to our ship."
As soon as Fang Yuan said that, Wen Wanzheng hurriedly urged him, "Then do it quickly, the fire is burning too fast."
There was a night wind at night, and when it blew, the fire became bigger and bigger.
"Help!!! I don't know how to swim and I don't dare to jump!!!"
Wen Jiaojiao lay on the side of the boat and looked at the boats that were on fire. The people on the boat had basically given up putting out the fire. Those who could dive did so, and those who couldn't swim could only huddle in the corner and watch the fire coming towards them.
The boats that were closer to the burning boats all sailed over to help rescue people. Wen Jiaojiao looked at the boat next to Wen Miaoran and the others, and there were two women pushing and shoving on the side of the boat.
"I, I really don't dare to jump, I can't swim!!!"
Wen Jiaojiao listened to the wailing like a slaughtering pig, and when he took a closer look, he saw that it was Su Yilian and the round-faced girl next to her whom he met in the paddock last time.
At this time, Su Yilian probably wanted her to jump into the water, but the girl was obviously afraid of water. She hugged the fence and refused to jump.
Su Yilian broke her hand hard and scolded her fiercely. She was completely different from the gentle and elegant image she had before.
"Can I drown you while I'm here?!" Su Yilian went to hug her legs, preparing to throw her down.
Then, Wen Jiaojiao heard the girl crying and saying, "In my setting, you can't swim! If you jump down, we will all drown!"
Su Yilian: "I will jump down later, and King Qing'an will rescue me. Don't worry, I won't die!"
Wen Jiaojiao caught the word "setting" very sensitively and looked at them in surprise.
At this time, the flower boat she was on was approaching Wen Miaoran's boat. Wen Jiaojiao looked at Su Yilian and the others and shouted at them: "Our boat is coming, don't jump!"
Hearing this voice, Su Yilian had already picked up her timid concubine and was about to throw her into the water. When she saw Wen Jiaojiao waving her hand, she felt happy and put her down again.
The concubine Su Yijin next to her opened her eyes wide when she saw Wen Jiaojiao.
Xiao Xuan'an and Fang Yuan were there to direct the boat. Wen Jiaojiao went to talk to Xiao Xuan'an and asked them to drive the boat between the two boats.
After the boat stopped, the servants quickly put wooden planks between the two boats and took over all the people on the two burning boats.
"Yue'er, don't get too close, be careful of the sparks."
Xiao Xuanan took Wen Jiaojiao aside, fearing that she would be burned.
Wen Wanzheng on the side saw that her siblings were safe and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wait, where is Miaoran? Why isn't she there?"
Wen Wanzheng immediately discovered that one person was missing. At this time, the fire had burned the entire boat, and the flames on Qingling Lake were soaring into the sky, which was very spectacular.
Wen Yanxi said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, the second sister was just rescued by King Qing'an and should be on his boat at the moment."
Hearing that Wen Miaoran and King Qing'an were together, Wen Jiaojiao, Su Yilian and Su Yijin all showed very subtle expressions.
At this time, because all the ships were in chaos and blocked from docking, Wen Jiaojiao and the others could only temporarily stop the ship in place and watch the ships burning with raging fire.
"Thank you for the help."
Su Yilian pulled Su Yijin and bowed to the Wen family. Wen Wanzheng smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, girl. Just stay on our ship for now and we'll talk about it after we get to the shore."
Servants and maids went back and forth on the boat to entertain the extra people. In addition to the young masters of the Wen family and Su Yilian, they also rescued many other people on the boat.
Yuzhu and the others have already removed all the lanterns, and there are servants fetching water from the lake to prevent any accidents.
Xiao Xuanan was there to help direct and arrange the personnel. At night, the wind was blowing and the temperature was low. Fengxin took a thick cloak from the cabin and put it on Wen Jiaojiao.
Wen Jiaojiao sat aside and looked at the girl huddled next to Su Yilian.
Receiving Wen Jiaojiao's gaze, Su Yilian smiled slightly at Wen Jiaojiao, and then pushed Su Yijin in front of her, "Fourth Miss, this is my fifth sister, Su Yijin, who is a concubine. She is one year older than you.
.”
Su Yijin?
Wen Jiaojiao went through the memory in his mind, but for a long time he couldn't remember what role this Su Yijin was in the original book.
However, Su Yilian has several concubines, so this should be an unimportant supporting role.
Wen Jiaojiao was shocked in her heart that Su Yilian actually brought this concubine with her. She hated her concubine sisters very much, even more than Wen Ruyue.
She even poisoned a concubine. The concubine she poisoned seemed to be... the fifth in the family?
Wen Jiaojiao remembered that it was just the concubine who appeared in a plot halfway through the original book, and it was this Su Yijin.
She only appeared in a few chapters of the plot, but now the sister who was ruthlessly poisoned by Su Yilian is still with her every day?
And it looks like the relationship is pretty good?
"Huh, a concubine doesn't need to tell me."
Wen Jiaojiao snorted coldly and sat down at the seat where he had just had the banquet.
Su Yilian and Su Yijin looked at each other, "Ajin, tell me, is she still the same Wen Ruyue as before?"
