Chapter 228: Overnight Stay

The old man frowned when he heard this, and finally waved his hand and said, "People die like lights go out, even if the second prince was a little wrong before, now that he has ended up like this for you, he should expose his hatred." In the future, you must raise other people's young sons well, and don't live up to their orders. ”

Murong Huaide remembered that Ge Ri Letu had died a miserable death, and he was also a little sad in his heart, and responded, "What Mr. said is that we must treat Gardi as if he were his own child. ”

Old Man Feng glared at him fiercely, and then asked, "So, the Northern Barbarians won't attack Great Qi for a while?" ”

"Definitely not," Murong Huaide said with great certainty, "The Northern Barbarian Grand Prince has newly sat on the throne of the Khan, suppressed the tribes and submitted them by iron-blooded means, and now he is busy consolidating the Khan throne, and he is not able to invade the south at all." ”

Old Man Feng's face was a little better, and he whispered, "In this case, you can go to Labyrinth Island to live for a few years for the time being, and you can just avoid the danger of the change of the throne." As for me, I won't go south with you. ”

When Murong Huaide heard this, he stood up anxiously and persuaded him, "Sir, this place is dangerous, you better return south with us." You haven't been found out of the details, you can take the C-shaped group all the way south, and the three children in the disciple's family are also looking forward to Mr. going back. ”

Speaking of the three little grandchildren, Old Man Feng's face completely improved, and he said with a smile, "It's just a one-year-old little doll, where will I remember this old man." That's it, you are still a family reunion, I am used to living here, I can't leave the neighbors, plus the imperial court here may be a change of throne in a year or two, I always have to keep an eye on some news for you. With the boys of Group C by my side, you don't have to worry about my safety. Just take care of your wife and children and manage Labyrinth Island well. Daqi's coastal defense is extremely weak now, as long as the army is not dispatched, Labyrinth Island will definitely not be in danger. ”

"Sir..."Murong Huaide wanted to persuade again, but Old Man Feng waved his hand impatiently, "This matter is so decided, if there is news, I will pass it on as much as possible, you go back quickly." ”

Murong Huaide couldn't, so he had to say, "After I send the Dong clan back to Labyrinth Island this time, I will return to Beiban again." I plan to get rid of the eldest prince and avenge Geriletu, otherwise the Dong family will feel guilty in their hearts, and I am afraid that they will have trouble day and night. The second is that the eldest prince died, and the remaining princes are all wine bags and rice bags, and Dajin must be torn apart, and internal strife continues. At least ten years of peace can be guaranteed, and it will also prepare for Gardi's return to the grassland and take back the sweat position. ”

"Okay" Old Man Feng heard that his disciple was so responsible, and all the previous annoyances dissipated, and he praised, "If the husband does something, he will do something." Privately, you tried your best to rescue the Dong family and returned home, which is your love as a husband. But for Yu Gong, he is ashamed of Daqi after all. In this way, he got rid of the eldest prince with one shot, and kept the border safe for a few years, which can be regarded as atonement for his previous sins. ”

Murong Huaide took the opportunity to say again, "When the time comes, the disciple will return to Kyoto again, and Mr. must go south with the disciple." ”

Old Man Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally responded, "When the time comes, it still depends on how Kyoto is doing." ”

The master and apprentice whispered a few more trivial words, and at the end, Murong Huaide instructed the C-shaped group one by one and disappeared into the night again and rushed away.

In this way, the two roads were separated by dozens of miles, and they always maintained a sense of vigilance and quickly rushed to Haining County. Half a month has passed, and everyone has taken off their jackets and changed into thin dresses, Gardi grew up in the grassland, where has he seen the scenery of the south, as long as he sees no one on the road, he will lift the curtain and look at the landscape.

Dong Rong felt sorry for him for losing his father, and occasionally allowed him to get out of the car for a while. On this day, I stopped at a large lake at noon to rest, and if I could not say anything, I was delayed for an extra hour, so I missed the town where I stayed in the evening.

Fortunately, there was a small village not far from the official road, so Dong Rong instructed Jia to turn around and prepare to find a family to spend the night.

As soon as A stood on the wheel of the car and looked at it for a long time, he knocked on the firewood door of the second house of the village leader. An old woman came out of the room, and asked loudly while wearing her coat, "But the second baby is back?" ”

Without waiting for Zizhu to respond, a young woman ran out of the ear room, stepped forward to support the old woman, and complained, "Mother, you are not well yet, what are you doing in a hurry, I will support you if you have something." ”

The old woman smiled and patted her daughter-in-law's hand, and responded, "It's a back pain when I'm always lying down, let's go, let's open the door for the second baby together." ”

As he spoke, two women, an old man and a young woman, opened the courtyard door, and they were startled when they saw strangers. The little daughter-in-law subconsciously half-closed the door panel and asked loudly, "Who are you?" ”

Zizhu was just about to speak, but Dong Rong took two steps forward and nodded slightly, then said with a smile, "This aunt and sister, I'm sorry to knock on the door so late and disturb you." I went south with my children and servants to visit my family, but I missed the town where I was staying because I was in a hurry, so I knocked on the door in desperation. If there is still a vacant room at home, I am really grateful if my aunt can take us in for one night. ”

The little daughter-in-law stared at Dong Rong and the others up and down for a long time before she whispered to her mother-in-law, "Mother, you don't look like a bad person." ”

The old lady Xu is eyesight is a little bad, and her subordinates patted her daughter-in-law and smiled, "You kid, the world is peaceful, how can there be so many bad people." Open the door quickly to welcome guests, there is a difficult time when we go out, we should help. ”

When the little daughter-in-law heard this, she smiled awkwardly, and then opened the door of the courtyard and beckoned, "The family is simple, if this lady doesn't dislike it, come in and rest." ”

Dong Rong thanked her again, and then took Gardi and Zizhu into the courtyard. Yun Rui helped A to drive the carriage to the corner of the courtyard, and when the car was unloaded, the two of them carried water and turned out the forage to take care of the horses, and they had no intention of going into the house to rest at all.

The little daughter-in-law brewed tea and came out of the stove, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Zizhu took out the snack box from the package, and when he saw that the tea arrived, he took it with a smile, and was busy pouring tea for the masters to quench their thirst.

The old lady saw it by the dim oil lamp, and smiled, "This lady is really a good girl who is trained, and this child is really diligent." ”

Dong Rong smiled and brought a bowl of tea to the old lady first, and said, "Auntie praised, this girl is naturally smart, and she treats me carefully, and I also treat her as a sister." ”

After that, she pulled Galdi to salute the old lady and said, "This is my eldest son, Digoer." ”

Gardi has been smart since he was a child, fluent in Chinese, and has followed Dong Rong to learn literacy and etiquette these days, and now he also looks like a rich boy when he bows his head.

The old lady and the little daughter-in-law hurriedly avoided it, and praised one after another, "The little boy is really handsome, and he must be a promising person when he grows up." ”

Zizhu remembered that the masters hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he pulled the little daughter-in-law and said, "This sister-in-law, we brought a lot of raw food in the car, can you borrow your stove for use, and I will make some food for the masters." ”

The little daughter-in-law didn't wait for a reply, but the old lady patted her head in annoyance and said, "I'm so old that I'm really useless, and I forgot that the guests are still hungry." Jin Zhi'er, go and prepare a meal. The bacon at home was also picked and fried on a plate for the guests to eat. ”

The little daughter-in-law smiled and went down with Zizhu, and Dong Rong accompanied the old lady to gossip. From customs to harvest in the fields, the two quickly became close.

When Zizhu brought the food up, the old lady was already holding Dong Rong's hand and smiling so much that the wrinkles on her face were piled up in one place. Dong Rong glanced at the dishes and saw that most of them were bought on the road before, and the rice was not farmhouse brown rice, so she smiled and invited the old lady to eat together.

But the old lady waved her hand and said that she had already eaten it, and refused to serve it alive or dead. Dong Rong couldn't, so she had to sit down with Zizhu and Gardi, and asked in a low voice, "Yun Rui and Master Jia sent it?" ”

Zizhu nodded while serving the rice, and responded, "Madame, don't worry, I sent it, one big bowl per person, the food is full, enough to eat." ”

"That's good" Dong Rong picked up the chopsticks when she said this, but unfortunately before she could pick up the dishes, Jia Yi suddenly rushed in from outside the door and said, "Madam, there are four or five officials here." ”

"Official?" Dong Rong was so shocked that she stood up directly, and asked in a deep voice, "But it's coming at us?" ”

Jia Yi shook his head, "I guess I'm passing by, don't panic, madam." If something is wrong, you just take care of yourself and the young master, and leave the rest to us. ”

As soon as his words fell, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the courtyard, and it seemed to come straight to this small courtyard.

Zizhu panicked and pulled Galdi and hid it behind him, but Dong Rong calmed down when the matter was approaching, and said in a low voice, "Xu saw that there was a light here, so they came." Adapt to the situation! ”

Jia Yi and Zizhu bowed their heads in response, and sure enough, the courtyard gate was quickly slammed. Someone shouted loudly outside the courtyard, "There is a light in the house, don't pretend to be dead for the uncle, hurry up and open the door to serve, the uncle is an official errand!" ”

The old lady and the little daughter-in-law were confused, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

Dong Rong motioned for A to open the door, and then comforted her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law softly, "Auntie, sister, it is estimated that it is an official who is passing by, and when I saw that the lights were on in our house, I came to rest." You don't have to be afraid, speaking of which, we didn't turn off the lights because we entertained us, which affected you. After a while, they will eat and drink, and all the huā will be ours, so you can rest assured. ”

The old lady hurriedly waved her hand, "Then how can it be done, I don't blame you for this." We were also waiting for the family to come back, and the lights were lit on the left and right. ”

As he spoke, four or five officials had already swaggered into the courtyard gate, except for one who shouted for Yun Rui to serve the horses, and the rest entered the hall together. As soon as they saw the food on the table, several people laughed, "Hey, it's really good luck today, just find a place to settle down and have ready-made meals to eat." ”

The leader glanced at Dong Rong and the others, and asked coldly, "A farmer's yard is broken, and there are a lot of guests?" ”

Dong Rong smiled faintly, stepped forward and saluted and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we also missed the accommodation, and we found the accommodation when we saw the lights here." I don't want to think of a place with the officials, this table of food is just cleaned up by my maidservant, if the official doesn't dislike it, he can barely cushion his stomach. Daqi is peaceful, thanks to the officials running around, this table of meals should be the little woman's filial piety to the officials on behalf of the people of Daqi. ”
