After a while, the team carrying grain left the south gate.

The escort officer stepped forward and shouted, "May I ask who is in front of you, Lord Dong?"

Dong Wende turned his head to look, and the guard not far away replied: "Exactly." ”

The Dong family stepped forward and said, "Who is this?"

The escort officer turned over and dismounted, "Cao Zhiyun has seen Lord Qincha. ”

Dong Wende hugged his fists and said: "This trip is diligent Lord Cao." ”

Cao Zhiyun hurriedly said: "Lord Dong is serious, all for the people of Shandong. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Cao Zhiyun took the lead.

The team carrying the grain moved slowly.

Dong Wende muttered: "I hope this trip can go smoothly." ”

Wang Shi looked at the sky and went with a car of guards to take care of the dots.

Although the grain transport team was encamped in the south, their people and the people of the prince could not live in the post station under any circumstances.

Chen saw that Dong Wende was delayed in resting in the carriage, so he went down to accompany him.

When Dong Wende saw Chen coming down, he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"

Chen said: "After sitting for a long time, come down and stand." Hasn't the Prince of Xuanyuan arrived yet?"

Since Chen learned that Xuanyuan Yi donated 200,000 taels of silver for Dong Ruyi and personally went south for disaster relief, he was not so angry.

After all, whether it is a donation or going south, Xuanyuan Yi is for Dong Ruyi. In this situation, even Chen didn't know what to say.

Dong Wende said: "Presumably it was too sudden and not ready yet. ”

Chan nodded.

The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground came from the south gate, and Wen Liu led a team of more than 20 people out of the south gate.

Wen Liu frowned when he saw the Dong family's dozen or so carriages.

He struck his horse over and said, "May I ask you, Lord Chincha?"

Dong Wende said: "It is the lower official." ”

When Wen Liu heard this, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, "Wen Liu has seen Lord Dong, and the prince ordered the villain to escort Lord Dong to take the first step, and the prince will arrive later." ”

Dong Wende heard it, "Is the time to set off too hasty?"

Wen Liu hurriedly said: "Lord Dong is too careful, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who learned that the prince left Beijing today, and he went out of the palace to see him off. ”

Dong Wende nodded, "Then let's go first." ”

Xuanyuan Yi only met Dong Wende early the next morning.

Dong Wende said: "How did the prince rest last day?"

Xuanyuan Yi said politely: "Very good, I heard Wen Liu say, so the accommodation is arranged by Lord Dong, and there is really Lord Lao Dong." ”

Dong Wende waved his hand and said, "The prince doesn't have to be polite. ”

The southbound group continued to set off.

Xuanyuan Yi looked at the Dong family's convoy and couldn't help but be curious: "Wen Yi, let people inquire and see what Lord Dong is carrying?"

They went south this time to provide disaster relief, and it was a burden to carry a few things.

Wen Yi said in a low voice: "Wen Liu has already investigated, fourteen carriages, nine carts of people, and five carts for eating." ”

Xuanyuan Yi said: "Bring so many people?"

Wen Yi said embarrassedly: "Lord Dong has a female dependent, and I heard that the maid and mother-in-law are not missing. Wen Liu was afraid of arousing the disgust of the Dong family, so he didn't dare to inquire too much. ”

Xuanyuan Yi nodded, "Send more people to protect it, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly this time." ”

***

At this moment, outside the gate of the Dong family, there were many people around.

Dong Wenchang pointed to the gate of the Dong family and scolded: "Dong Wende, you unfilial brute...

Brute...

Aren't you afraid of retribution?

Oh, by the way, you have already been punished, otherwise how would you have died your son and daughter?"

The big butler stood in the door, angry.

Xianglan and Xu's mother rushed over quickly from inside.

Mother Xu said anxiously: "What happened?"

The chief housekeeper said: "It's not the master who came yesterday, I don't know where he learned about our master's southward journey."

No, I came to say early in the morning that I wanted to live in our house. ”

Xianglan waved her hand and said, "The big butler doesn't need to say any more. ”

Mother Xu looked at Xianglan and said anxiously: "How is this good, when Madame leaves, she is worried about this." ”

Xianglan pointed to the porter and said, "A few of you go and drive that madman away, remember to tell the folks outside, just say ......"

The concierge has long been on fire, but Dong Wenchang is the master's younger brother, so he doesn't dare to do it.

They glanced at Mother Xu, and then went to the big housekeeper, and when they saw that no one objected, they opened the door with a stick.

The door of Dong's house opened, so everyone looked over.

Dong Wenchang said: "I knew that you had to open this door." ”

He turned his head as he spoke.

Four porters with sticks stood out.

Dong Wenchang said: "You... What are you going to do?"

One of them shouted: "Please give our lord a comment, our lord is following his biological mother, Lord Yixin, and left him."

As for the family, as early as when our eldest lady set up a show, she was expelled from the Dong family.

It's not a secret, even the Holy One knows it.

It is also because of this that when the second old lady of the Dong family passed away, our master never returned to Jiangning to worry about it.

Dare to ask where this unfilial piety comes from? The county lord's mother passed away when our master was three years old. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone began to talk about it.

No one knew about Dong Ruyi back then, but when it was mentioned at this time, all the onlookers began to point fingers at Dong Wenchang.

Dong Wenchang shouted: "Even so, now that his biological father has entered Beijing, shouldn't he Dong Wende go to bow down?"

The porter glanced at each other.

Another person ran out of it.

The man said: "If our master is in Beijing, it doesn't hurt to go and see him."

But our lord just received the holy decree, and now the people of Shandong are in dire straits, our lord shares his worries for His Majesty, what is wrong with the decree going south?

Even if our lord is not expelled from the clan, it is still a matter of national affairs. ”

Dong Wenchang pointed to the person who spoke, but he couldn't say a word.

In the crowd, someone shouted at an unknown time, "Lord Dong is a good official, we can't let such a person ruin Lord Dong's reputation, let's send him to see the official." ”

"Yes, send him to the official. ”

The onlookers were noisy and shouting to see the official.

Dong Wenchang was frightened and wanted to run, but he didn't know which one tripped him.

He was caught off guard and fell directly into the mud.

The crowd burst out laughing.

In this way, Dong Wenchang made trouble by spreading rumors on the street, and was sent to the government by the people.

***

The chief butler listened to the little maid's announcement and exclaimed, "What?

The little guy looked excited, "No, I heard that I was hit by five boards when I went in." ”

"Nonsense, it's the Dong family, where can you say that you will send the official. He got up and walked to the backyard.

He turned back halfway through, and he pointed to the little maid in the courtyard and said, "Go to my house and find my mother-in-law." ”

When Xu's mother saw Hu's, she hurriedly got up and said, "Why is Sister-in-law Hu here? ”

Seeing Mother Xu get up, Hu Shi hurriedly said: "You're welcome, I'm afraid I'm going to grow up in the days to come." ”
