Chapter 147: All for the sake of the child
Soon, the sound of snoring soup and munching sounded throughout the barracks. When the stomach was half full, everyone slowed down, as if they wanted to keep this fragrant taste between their lips and tongue for a while.
Some people brought bowls, gossiped together, and even joked that it would be good if the general had captured more scholars into the camp, and then everyone would be able to fight tooth sacrifices from time to time. Of course, the person who spoke was kicked in the ass by his companions, and the talented old men of the people measured it big, not to blame them for being rude before, but to treat them so kindly, they can't have no conscience.
In this way, a meal was eaten for more than an hour, and when Dong Ping and others said goodbye, the soldiers bent down to salute and thank them regardless of distance or distance, not only for a full meal, but also to thank them for their equal treatment, and thank them for respecting the persistence and hard work of these rough people...
Mr. Yang didn't know whether he was worried that the disciples would fall behind too much homework, or if he was afraid that they would stay for a few more days and cause some trouble, so he sent Mo Bo to inform the disciples that night to pick up and salute, and the day after tomorrow they would go on the road to return to Qingxian.
The scholars had a tortuous experience on this trip, and they also missed the academy and their families very much, so they received the news and happily stuffed their clothes and utensils, and the next morning, they went to the street together to buy some small items of local specialties, intending to take them back to their families and friends.
Dong Rong naturally wanted to go back with everyone, Zizhu beckoned Yun Rui and Fuzi to help pack the luggage, and she took Wen Niang but said goodbye to Mrs. Meng.
The old lady treats Dong Rong very closely, and she is naturally very reluctant to part when she sees the two sides like this. She pulled Dong Rong and said for a long morning before she was willing to let go, and finally sent a box of ejiao and a century-old ginseng to Dong Rong for fetal recuperation.
Dong Rong felt that she couldn't go, and after returning to Qingxian, she sent someone to send a lot of straw objects and two boxes of pine flowers to the old lady.
Of course, this is all a later story, not to mention how busy everyone is, just to say that on this morning, the dew has not volatilized clean, and a dozen carriages left the south gate of the military city, and soon came to the ten-mile long pavilion.
Mr. Meng had already set up a banquet early, and Mr. Yang got out of the car and drank parting wine with his old friend and talked for a long time, and then he said goodbye in tears.
Both of them are about to know the time of destiny, although the two places are not far apart, but it is inconvenient to see each other after all. If Lord Yama was short of people to play chess for a while, and recruited one earlier, then there would be no time for each other to sit and drink.
Mr. Yang, who was half-drunk, lay in the carriage and played the Sanxuanqin, the sound of the piano was monotonous but full of loneliness and reluctance, which caused the disciples who followed behind to be in a heavy mood. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. There is always some truth in this world that cannot be learned in books. There are always things that cannot be predicted. Just like their trip to the military city, they originally thought it was just a small trip in their lives, but in the end they taught them what it means to be open-minded and what it means to persevere...
Dong Ping was in the same car with his sister, but he didn't feel too much when he listened to the sound of the piano at this time, but was worried that his sister would be woken up. Fortunately, Dong Rong slept late last night, and this return to the cage slept until noon camping before waking up.
The team chose a lake to rest, and the siblings sat in the shade of the carriage, enjoying the lake and mountains while having lunch.
Dong Rong saw that the blue and white bowl was filled with most of the white raw noodles, and the noodles were neatly stacked with blanched wild vegetables, shredded pork with sauce and thin green onions, just looking at it was very refreshing and appetizing, so she asked, "Zizhu, let's prepare a portion of this noodle for Mr. Yang." ”
Zizhu was placing a pickle plate on the table, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Madam, the second young master has already asked me to send it over." ”
Dong Rong raised her eyebrows and teased her younger brother, "Oh, I haven't married someone else's daughter yet, so I started to honor my father-in-law?" ”
Dong Rong immediately blushed and looked around in a panic, for fear of being heard by her classmates, "Sister, I... I'm afraid of the hot weather, and my husband has no appetite when he's old..."
"Okay, sister won't say it," Dong Rong gave half of the shredded meat in her bowl to her younger brother, and hurriedly said, "If Mr. doesn't dislike it, the food along the way will be taken care of by our family, but Zizhu will be tired." ”
Zizhu replied with a smile, "Madam, don't worry, I'm not tired." One sheep is driving, and two sheep are herding, but it's just casually..."The little girl realized that there was something wrong with this halfway through speaking, and hurriedly waved her hand to explain, "Madam, I said it wrong, you are not a sheep..."
Dong Rong and Dong Ping laughed so much that they almost fell crookedly on the straw mat, and when Zizhu blushed and wanted to say something more, Steward Zhang led a young man who led a horse over. Seeing this, Zizhu hurriedly ran away under the pretext that he still had work.
Steward Zhang was puzzled, "Why did this girl run away as soon as I came, what did she do wrong?" ”
Dong Rong pulled the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, waved her hand and smiled, "No, I'm glad that I brought this girl home that day, and I really made a lot of money." ”
Steward Zhang was secretly glad that his master was in a good mood, so he dared to delay any longer, and directly said, "Madam, the master has sent someone to deliver a letter again." ”
Dong Rong was stunned when she heard this, then sat up straight, and said lightly, "Oh, is it? ”
Steward Zhang hurriedly motioned to Bingsan to come forward and salute, but Bingsan was also sincere, knelt down directly, and then held the envelope with his body temperature with both hands.
Dong Rong was very surprised to see him behave like this, although she had lived in this time and space for a long time, she still had traces of her past life in the depths of her soul, and she got along and was close to the orchard on weekdays, and she didn't care too much about the humility of these masters and servants. At this moment, he suddenly saw a young man of the same age as his brother so respectful and humble, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.
Dong Ping saw that his sister didn't answer the letter for a long time, and thought that she was annoyed that her brother-in-law didn't follow her to the military city, so he hurriedly helped take it, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, I'm worried that my sister hasn't returned for many days, do you want me to write a letter to him, we will be home in a few days?" ”
Dong Rong came back to her senses, and then remembered that in order not to worry her brother that day, she had not talked carefully about the stupid pillar with him. She hurriedly accepted the envelope and said with a smile, "Eat first, and my sister will talk to you about something in the afternoon." ”
After speaking, she looked at Steward Zhang again and instructed, "Uncle Zhang, this kid has come all the way, I'm afraid he has suffered a lot of hardship." Let Zizhu make some food for this child to pad his stomach! ”
"Yes, ma'am." Steward Zhang was about to take Bingsan down, but Bingsan refused to get up. Everyone looked at him with puzzled faces, and Dong Rong asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
Bingsan nodded and said word by word, "Our young master said that he likes Miss Biao's stewed rock sugar snow ear soup very much. ”
Everyone was confused when they heard it, but Dong Rong narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered, "I know, you go and rest." ”
Only then did Bingsan get up and walk away with Steward Zhang. Dong Ping wanted to ask something, but was urged by his sister to pick up the noodle bowl.
Soon, everyone had eaten lunch, and the convoy was on the road again. Dong Ping's curiosity was overflowing, and he was afraid of disturbing his sister's lunch break, so he held this travelogue in his hand to pass the time, but unfortunately he hadn't turned a few pages after half an hour.
Where can Dong Rong sleep, she has been half-squinting her eyes and thinking about how to talk to her younger brother about the stupid pillar to hide her life experience. But you can't dodge, it's better to solve it earlier.
Thinking like this, she opened her eyes, carefully explained the matter, and finally sighed, "He is now the prince of Zhongshan, and he is no longer a stupid boy of the Cao family, no... That's it! ”
Dong Ping was completely stunned at this moment, and he didn't even realize that the tea in his hand had spilled on his clothes. He really didn't expect that the rumors that Mrs. Yang heard that day were true, and they were even related to the royal bloodline. But when the surprise subsided, a rage ensued, and he wanted to catch the man and beat him up.
Even if there is a big grievance, he has to hide his true identity and hide the fact that he is not a fool, but his sister is his wife, day and night, sharing joys and sorrows, and never treating him slowly, can't he reveal even a little bit?
It's a pity that the anger in his heart is rising, but when his eyes sweep over his sister's bulging abdomen, he immediately calms down. His nephew... Can't live without a father!
Dong Rong waited for a long time and didn't see her brother getting angry or scolding angrily, so she asked half strangely and half worriedly, "Brother Ping, what's wrong with you?" But angry? ”
I didn't want Dong Ping to look up at my sister's eyes as if he hadn't heard it, and asked rhetorically, "Sister, before he returned to Kyoto, did he say that he would abandon you and marry another?" ”
Dong Rong was stared at by her younger brother a little weakly, and shook her head honestly and said, "I didn't say it." ”
"Did he ever say that the child in your womb was not his blood?"
"I didn't say that."
"Then why should I annoy him?"
"Uh," Dong Rong was forced to be asked by her younger brother and was powerless, and after a long pause, she frowned and asked, "Could it be that he has been deceiving us, aren't you angry?" You're so nice to him, he's probably secretly laughing at you for being a real fool! ”
"So what? As long as he's as good as he was to you before, I won't be annoyed with him! As long as he is good to my nephew, I will forgive him! ”
"But, but..."Dong Rong really didn't expect her younger brother to be on the same front as herself, she couldn't help but shout, "But, he went back to Kyoto!" Didn't you hear what the messenger said? Cousin! It's only been a few days since I went back and there was a cousin who was good at making soup, who knows if after a while, there will be a cousin who is good at female popularity or playing the piano? Since he can lie to me once, he can lie to me a second time, and he can't believe his words at all! ”
"If you're worried, why don't you go to Kyoto and see for yourself? It's a bit unfair to refuse to trust your brother-in-law because of a mistake. Besides, he didn't mean to deceive us, his life was at stake, and he couldn't be too careful. ”
"Why should I chase after him, why didn't he come back?"
"Because of the child in your belly, because my nephew can't live without a father!" Dong Ping remembered the pain he had suffered with his sister when he was a child, and couldn't help but reddened his eyes, choked up and continued to persuade, "Sister, believe in him again for the sake of the child, and work hard again." Children without mothers are pitiful, and children without fathers will not live well..."
Dong Rong was speechless by her younger brother's refutation, and finally silently took out the letter from her arms, opened it lightly and looked at it. Finally, he leaned on his brother's shoulder and whispered, "Do you really want to believe him again, if he deceives me again..."
(Finally rushed out, a little late, thank you for your support, hug, keep up the good work!) )R638
