Chapter 229: Good Karma and Good Results
The leading official seemed to be a little surprised, but his face was much better, and he said with a smile, "This lady has praised it falsely, how can she accept this favor in vain." Why don't you sit down and eat a few bites together? ”
Dong Rong shook her head and said very respectfully, "Thank you for your attention, although the little woman's husband's family is a businessman, her mother's family is a scholar's family, and etiquette is very important." The official enjoyed it slowly, and the little woman took people to retreat. ”
The leading official wanted to say something, but several companions behind him couldn't bear the hunger, and sat down one after another, shouting, "Boss, don't be polite, people are also sincere and filial." Let's hurry up and eat, this way from Haining, everyone is half hungry. ”
The rest of the people also agreed, and at the end they shouted to the old lady and daughter-in-law, "Hurry up and boil the water, the uncles have been running for a day, soak their feet to relieve fatigue, and continue to hurry!" ”
"Hey, yes, yes!" The old lady hurriedly responded, and took her daughter-in-law to go down with Dong Rong and the others.
When the little daughter-in-law turned around, the blocked light shone on Galdi. His brown eyes, which he couldn't see anything unusual in the daytime, didn't want to be obvious in the light. The leader's face changed, and he grabbed his arm and asked in a loud voice, "Where did this child come from?" ”
Gardi was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to resist, but Dong Rong hurriedly hugged him, looked at the official with a puzzled face, and responded, "Official, this is my son, where... Isn't that right? ”
The official squinted, looked at Gardi carefully for a long time, and then asked, "This kid is a barbarian?" ”
Dong Rong's eyes widened, she quickly shook her head, and when she was about to speak, someone outside the door suddenly shouted, "Oh, Dongjia, why did you get to the small house?" ”
Everyone was taken aback, and they all heard the prestige, only to see a young young student standing outside the door at some point, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, with a bulging bag on his shoulders, and he looked at Dong Rong and the others with a look of surprise.
The little daughter-in-law was the first to run up and grabbed the sleeve of the younger child, and whispered, "Second baby, you are back, there are many people in the house." ”
After that, he entered the house, ignored a few officials, knelt down and kowtowed to Dong Rong first, and finally asked loudly, "Dongjia, when the villain was in Kyoto last year, he was accepted by the Dongjia to be a young man in Buzhuang for a few months, and he barely survived." Later, when I left, the owner also rewarded a few small pairs of medicinal materials for eye diseases, otherwise my mother's eyes would not be better. The little one has always wanted to repay the owner's great kindness, and he didn't want the owner to come to the house today. Are you passing by, is the little young master's eye disease committed again? ”
Dong Rong's heart instantly turned countless thoughts, but there was a touch of sadness on her face, and she stretched out her hand to help the younger child while responding, "You are a second baby, I haven't seen you for a year, but I almost can't recognize you." Those medicinal herbs were originally prepared for Di Ge'er, but I didn't expect to be right for your mother's illness. It's a pity that Di Ge'er's eyes didn't improve at all, so he thought about going back to his hometown to find a famous doctor for another diagnosis and treatment. I was looking for a place to spend the night every night, but I didn't expect to arrive at your house, what a coincidence. ”
The second baby was about to speak, but the official let go of his hand suspiciously, and asked, "This kid has bad eyes?" ”
The second baby seemed to have just discovered that there were outsiders in the house, so she was so shocked that she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "The official forgives the sins, forgive the sins." The little one suddenly saw the benefactor, and he was happy for a while, and he was slow to treat the official. Master Lao asked, our little master has had a strange illness since he was a child, his eyes are fine during the day, but he can't see anything at night, and occasionally he has blue light, which is really weird. Our owner has almost lost all his wealth, and he has not been cured. ”
When the official heard this, he became suspicious, waved his hand and said, "There are many strange diseases in the world, so it will be done without delaying to see the road during this day." ”
"It's not, it's hypocrisy, what's the cure for this, are you still afraid of delaying watching women at night?" An official casually answered a meaty remark, which caused several companions to laugh.
Dong Rong pretended to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and loudly ordered the second baby, "If there is a spare room for us, the official wants to eat, so we won't be in the way." ”
With that, she pulled Galdi and walked out.
The official who spoke meat laughed again, "Whose mother-in-law is this, what a big temper, how can you be gentle and polite to our leader, and you will be annoyed when you come to me?" ”
Everyone laughed even louder, and the second baby smiled dryly and hurriedly bowed, "Official, official!" There is also a jar of baogu wine in the small house, so I will bring it up to quench the thirst of the officials, how about it? ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier if you have wine, hurry up and bring it. One step at night, discount your legs! ”
"Hey, hey, it's coming, it's coming!" The second baby humbly responded and ran out, and soon ran in with a jar of unopened good wine. A few officials were quick to drink the dishes on the table, and they washed their feet with burps, and then reluctantly dragged their bodies out of the house and got on the horse.
One of them complained, "It's all to blame for that bullshit mountain king, who caused our brothers to toss between the north and the south, and couldn't even sleep well at night." ”
The leading official glared and scolded, "Shut up, the left and right errands are also done, and there will be time for you to rest when you return to Kyoto." ”
As he had spoken, they went out of the courtyard, and they all turned on their horses, and ran away with shouts.
Dong Rong listened to the movement in the wing room and breathed a long sigh of relief. Zizhu cautiously approached and asked in a low voice, "Madam, are we going to travel overnight?" ”
Dong Rong thought about it, but shook her head, "No, except for Galdi's eyes, we didn't show any other flaws." If you rush on the road now, it is even more suspicious. If they had come back to see, wouldn't they have known immediately that we had a problem? ”
Zizhu rubbed her hands, she was really a little worried, but the master decided, and she couldn't say anything. Instead, Jia Yi agreed, "What Madame said makes sense, let's hurry tomorrow morning, I'll send a message to the prince first, and they will meet at dawn." There are less than 200 miles left left to the left and right, and it will be fine to walk together. ”
They were discussing in a low voice, but Erwa'er walked in, and before he could speak, he knelt down and kowtowed, "The little Li Erwa'er kowtowed to the owner, and when he saw that the owner was in trouble, he intervened in a hurry, and hoped that the owner would forgive his sins." ”
"What is this saying, I have to thank the little brother for playing the round." Dong Rong hurriedly picked up Li Erwa'er with her own hands, and finally asked, "I just don't know, you call me the owner, have you really worked in my house?" ”
Li Erwa'er scratched her head and said with a sincere smile, "Please go to the hall and sit down, my wife and daughter-in-law will bow to Mrs. again." ”
Dong Rong was full of doubts, but still took everyone back to the hall. Sure enough, Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all knelt and kowtowed with a grateful face. Mrs. Li was still crying and scolding herself for being clumsy, and she didn't recognize the big benefactor.
Everyone was even more confused when they heard it, but fortunately, Li Erwa'er quickly told the truth. It turned out that last year, he and his wife went to Qingxian County to beg for survival because of the drought in their hometown. When the orchard recruited displaced people to work, they arrived at the orchard, not only were they able to survive the harsh winter, but even Li Erwa earned more than three taels of silver with her straw weaving skills. The two returned to their hometown at the beginning of spring, reset the family foundation with the silver and married their daughter-in-law, and their lives were three points better than before.
Neither of them is ungrateful, and they sigh every time they think of their days in Yimian Po Village, thinking that it is time to repay the great kindness of the owner in this life. Mrs. Li set up an immortal tablet in her house, with two pillars of incense in the morning and evening, hoping that the owner would not be sick and live a long life.
Unexpectedly, Dong Rong and his entourage actually stayed at their house today, Li Erwa'er originally went to the city to sell straw weaving, but she came back late, but she also happened to break the siege.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Rong and the others were relieved and became closer and closer. When they talked about what happened after saying goodbye, they were all emotional.
Li Erwa'er rubbed her hands and hesitated for a long time, but still asked, "Owner, there are sea fishing documents posted in the city, you are..."
Although Dong Rong felt that this person was credible, he still couldn't say it clearly, so he said vaguely, "There is a little lawsuit at home, and there is some trouble for the time being." We are here this time, and we may want to stay for a few years before returning to the Northland. ”
Li Erwa saw that the owner looked peaceful, not like how hard and frightened she looked, so she reluctantly let go.
"Owner, most of our village worked in the orchard that day, and if you hear that the owner has arrived in the village, I am afraid that we will come and kowtow. Look, owner..."
Dong Rong shook her head and said with a smile, "We are just passing by, and we have a lawsuit on our bodies, so we won't alarm the villagers." This time I happened to stay at your house, and I remembered the land, and then I walked back and forth, and I couldn't say that I would have to bother again. When the time comes, let's meet with the villagers and catch up on the old days. ”
Li Erwa'er hurriedly nodded, "Okay, just listen to the owner." I'll let my mother-in-law prepare to eat, and the owner will rest quickly. I will stay at the gate of the courtyard tonight, and the proprietor can rest in peace. ”
After that, he found the family's woodcutter and went to the gate of the courtyard, and Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law were also busy preparing the meal again. Soon Dong Rong and the others had a hot meal again, but unfortunately, they were destined to not be able to eat an Ansheng meal tonight.
Halfway through the meal, the officials went and returned, and although they said that they had forgotten their objects in the courtyard, they were empty-handed when they left. This is obviously suspicious, come back to see.
Dong Rong and the others were shocked and had a chill down their spines, but they still pretended to be frightened and coped with two sentences, and successfully covered up the past again.
Trembling and waiting until dawn, everyone quickly got up and tidied up the carriages and horses. No matter how Dong Rong thought about it, she felt that the three members of the Li family were in danger, so she opened her mouth to invite them to go south together, and Li Erwa'er was also a smart person, so she responded without hesitation. The house has packed up two parcels, and the coarse and clumsy objects are all put into the house, and a large lock is placed across the door.
The carriage ran over the morning light that was sprinkled all over the village, and soon Murong Huaide and the others, who were in the woods outside the village, converged in one place, and hurried day and night, but approached Haining County in two days.
No matter what those officials thought about it, they were suspicious, and when they returned to the Li family's courtyard for the third time, the building was already empty. I had to smash the people in the village one by one to inquire, but the villagers who understood what was going on were excitedly gathered in the middle to ask questions.
