Chapter 43: The Present World
Dong Rong waited in the car for a long time, just when she wanted Dong Ping to visit again, Zhang Yang finally brought someone back. He was also cautious, for fear that outsiders would hear what he said, so he only walked to the car window and whispered, "Sister-in-law, it's a thief who went to someone's money bank with a token to get a huge amount of silver, and now he was caught and killed at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Dong Rong's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she immediately guessed that someone in the Maitreya Sect was unlucky. So he tried his best to suppress the happiness in his heart, and replied lightly, "This thing is new, leave a guard to see the excitement, and tell me later." Let's go to the city first, Yang Da shopkeeper is afraid that he is in a hurry. ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it." Zhang Yang responded loudly, and at the end of the day, he made a look with Dong Ping and arranged for a clever guard to stay, and then touched five taels of silver for the soldiers guarding the city gate. Soon, the people blocking the city gate were driven away by the vicious soldiers, and the carriage passed through the city gate, through the street, and soon arrived at the courtyard that had been purchased many years ago, and now the old and young Yang family, the big treasurer of the money village, are living in it.
Old Yang shopkeeper is a distant brother of Dong Ping's mentor Mr. Yang, very good at gold and silver accounts, seven or eight years ago because he offended the powerful and was framed and imprisoned by the whole family, fortunately Murong Huaide came to the rescue. Although their family got their lives back, they lost their wealth, so they saved seven points to repay the favor, and three points to the door with their backs to the big tree to enjoy the shade.
Dong Rong happened to be inconvenient because of business contacts and money, so he decided to open a money bank, so he entrusted this important task to Old Man Yang. Old man Yang felt that the master's family was trustworthy, and he had worked hard for many years, and he was very loyal and diligent.
Five years ago, the ignorant girl of Yiba finally got her senses, and somehow she looked at the eldest grandson of Old Man Yang, and Xiao Nizi's face turned red and she said that she wanted to get married. Dong Rong was naturally happy to see it, organized a lively wedding, and married this girl into the Yang family with great fanfare.
No, as soon as her carriage entered the gate, Ohachi pounced in front of the door, "Madame, ma'am!" Are you back? Madam! ”
Although Dong Rong has been serving a lot of people around her for so many years, only Zizhu and Yiba really make her treat her as half a daughter. Especially this time, he was betrayed by the maid. Occasionally when she cleared up, she inevitably thought that if Zizhu and Yiba were by her side, such a thing would never happen. So, I miss the two of them more and more. Now, Zizhu is far away in the grassland in the north, but Yiba has finally seen it.
She was also excited in her heart, and without waiting for the two maids to open the door and put down the footstool, she opened the car door with her own hands and jumped down.
Yihachi almost immediately pounced on him and cried loudly, "Madam, Madam, why are you so thin?" Woo, which bastard hurt you, I'm going to kill him, woo, ma'am, you're back, I'm afraid to die! ”
Dong Rong's eyes were red, and she reached out to pat this straight-hearted girl and felt that there was something between the two. When I looked down, I couldn't help but cry and laugh. It turned out that Yiba was pregnant, and this big belly seemed to have a copper pot, no wonder it was so weird.
"You girl, it turns out that you are going to be a mother again. Look at this belly, I'm afraid the month is not small, don't cry, be careful to scare the child in the belly! ”
"Woo, I don't care about him, woo, if I hadn't been pregnant with him, I would have picked up my sword to avenge my wife!" Yiba glared at his stomach hatefully, and finally hugged Dong Rong's arm and cried again, "Madam, where have you been for most of the year, I want to go out to find you, and they won't let me!" ”
Dong Rong turned her head and glanced at the Yang family's ancestor who was standing not far away, with an embarrassed face, and hurriedly smiled, "You girl, you are all a mother, and you are still open-mouthed." Having children is a good thing, but you can't talk nonsense! Besides, I'm not back in good hands. You can take care of your body with peace of mind and give birth to a big fat boy. ”
"No, I'll be with Madame in the future!" Yihachi remembered that she had not eaten and slept well in the past few months, and almost every night she could dream that her wife was floating on the sea, and her body was soaked in the sea like rotten steamed buns, so she couldn't help but shiver and made up her mind that she would not leave her by her side.
In this world, women are the most unreasonable creatures, and the only one who can surpass this level is a pregnant woman. Dong Rong knew that it was not good to persuade again, so she had to save the country, "You can rest assured that you will raise the baby, I will live here for a few months this time, and when you give birth, I will go in and accompany you." ”
"Really, that's great!" Yi Baxi immediately smiled, her husband saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Dong Rong, and said with an embarrassed face at the end, "Dongjia, the news came before, and Neiko was going to look for you, but she was unstable at the time, so her subordinates stopped her and didn't let her out." ”
Yiba glared at her husband childishly, and still nested beside Dong Rong and refused to leave. How could Dong Rong blame the Yang family for such a thing, and hurriedly opened her mouth to reassure, "You did the right thing, this girl is a jumpy character, and it will be difficult for you all these years." ”
Yibafujun scratched the back of his head honestly and said with a smile, "Madame's words are serious, this, well, it should be." ”
Dong Rong patted Yiba's hand, motioned for her to let go of herself for a moment, and then took two steps forward to greet the old shopkeeper Yang and said, "The old shopkeeper has been in good health recently, and you have worked hard these days." ”
The old shopkeeper Yang hurriedly took the whole family to give Dong Rong a big gift, and said excitedly at the end, "It is a great thing that the owner can return safely, how dare the old slave say that it is hard!" ”
Zhang Yang glanced at the slaves around him, stepped forward and persuaded, "Now that I am at my house, I am not in a hurry, sister-in-law should go and rest first." ”
When the old shopkeeper Yang heard this, he hurriedly echoed, "The main courtyard has been cleaned up, and the owner is resting by himself." After saying that, he turned to Yiba and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, you can take care of your wife." ”
"Okay, thank you, grandfather." Yiba happily responded, and then affectionately helped Dong Rong into the hanging flower door.
After washing and changing clothes, after a busy time, when she finally picked up the tea bowl, Dong Rong breathed a long sigh of relief, and occasionally looked up to see Yiba munching on snacks, only to realize that this time she was in trouble, and finally had a sense of steadiness that the dust had settled.
Yiba didn't know what Mrs. was thinking, and thought that her appetite was too good to scare her, so she blushed and pulled her handkerchief while wiping her mouth and explained in a low voice, "I don't know what's wrong with this baby, Huailuo'er vomited to death at that time, and this time I want to eat everything when I see it again, and there seems to be a big hole in my stomach, and I can't fill it." ”
Dong Rong funnily tucked the broken hair on her sideburns for her, and said with a smile, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, and the child will definitely be healthy when it is born." ”
Yiba was stunned for a long time for some reason, and finally threw himself into Dong Rong's arms and cried, "Woo, madam, I thought you were dead, and the prince was also dead." I want to go to you guys with a big belly again! ”
Dong Rong was helpless and funny, and comforted her for a long time before finally letting her stop crying. At this time, Zhang Yang and Dong Ping also changed their clothes and rushed over, and Yiba said with a rare look, "Madam, you can discuss things, I will go to the kitchen to gather a few good dishes for you to make up." ”
"Okay, watch your step, don't fall."
Zhang Yang and Dong Ping had just sat down, and the old shopkeeper Yang also came over, and said with a smile, "The owner, the chief stewards of several nearby state capitals are in the front hall, have you seen them?" ”
Dong Rong nodded, stretched out her hand and motioned for the old shopkeeper to sit down, and then said, "Let's not be busy seeing them first, let's say a few words first." ”
Old Shopkeeper Yang is also a thoughtful person, thinking of the events of the past few days, so he smiled and said, "Okay, it just so happens that the old man also has something to report to the owner." ”
After that, he didn't say much about it, and told him how the Maitreya Sect sent people to the door to withdraw money with tokens, and how he designed to arrest them. At the end, he smiled and said, "Although, the Maitreya Sect only threw out a hall master as a substitute for the dead ghost, but it is somewhat broken. In addition, Uncle Zhao has to make up his mind how to prepare a thank you gift. ”
Dong Rong was relieved of her hatred when she heard this, and couldn't help but smile on her face, and praised, "Okay, the old shopkeeper is really doing a good job!" They chased and killed me for half a year, but they didn't get half the money, and they paid a hall master, hum, and let them taste the taste of frustration! ”
After that, she pondered for a moment and said, "The Zhao family, there is no need to send any silver taels, just send the deed paper of the two shops on Suzaku Street in Kyoto." ”
When the old shopkeeper Yang heard this, his eyebrows jumped twice, the shop on Zhuque Street was too expensive, and any one was worth ten thousand taels, so he couldn't help but feel very distressed. But the owner is willing to do it, and he is a subordinate, so it is naturally difficult to stop him.
Zhang Yang has been in charge of many shops in Kyoto, and when he heard this, he responded, "Okay, don't worry, I'll deal with it tomorrow." ”
Dong Rong nodded, and finally asked about the rest of the money bank, and it was quite smooth to hear, and it was not affected like the rest of the business, so she smiled and said, "No wonder, but everyone with some power wants to open a money bank, this is indeed a safe business." Whoever wants to move must be afraid of three points, and dare not offend the anger of the public. ”
Dong Ping also said with a smile, "That's the truth, our family's money is all over Daqi, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, businessmen and wealthy households, all have dealings." Even if the Maitreya Sect has great courage, it does not dare to oppose the entire Great Qi. ”
Everyone nodded, and after a few more gossips, they asked the maids guarding the courtyard to invite a few stewards in the front hall to come over.
It has been more than half a year since the closure of the Dong family firm, although the salary is still paid every month, from the chief steward to the young man, no one has affected their livelihood because of this. But seeing that the shop that was originally thriving is now cold and full of birds, no one is happy. And the more time passed, the more panicked I became. Especially under the premise that the owner's life and death are still uncertain, if they can still eat and sleep well, it will be too heartless.
Now, seeing the owner return safe and sound, sitting on the chair and laughing and drinking tea and talking, several chief stewards kowtowed excitedly, and sat down for a long time, and still haven't come back to their senses.
Dong Rong also knew what they thought in their hearts, and she didn't urge, just smiled faintly and said a few words of homely things. Finally, the stewards finally came to their senses. One of the oldest couldn't help but sigh, "God has eyes, bless the owner to be safe!" ”
Others also said, "As long as the owner is fine, the entire trading house is looking forward to the return of the lady!" ”R638
