The steward sent by the old shopkeeper of Buzhuang was his nephew, who was very shrewd and capable, and he could see that Sister Cao was pretending to be sick at a glance. He hurried on the road again, for fear that something would happen, these were all the relatives of the master, and they must not be damaged.

He had no choice but to step forward and say a few words to Old Man Cao, after all, it was his daughter, Old Man Cao was a little reluctant to believe it before, but he sighed after taking a closer look at his daughter's appearance. At the end, he strode over and asked, "Eldest sister, since you have an upset stomach, don't go on the road with the car." ”

"Really?" Sister Cao immediately got up from the ground happily and asked, "Dad, are the houses in the family and the orchard of the pillars left to me and the second child to take care of?" After all, outsiders are outsiders, and they can't be entrusted with such a big event. ”

"That's right, Dad, my eldest sister and I have also learned some skills outside this year, and we will definitely not cause trouble." Chen Lao Er also hurriedly patted his chest and promised.

Old man Cao really didn't know whether he was angry or sad in his heart, he stretched out his hand and pulled the old woman, and said in a deep voice, "Since you stay today, don't regret it tomorrow." You can keep a yard for you to live in, and you can plant the fields, but you can't interfere with the orchard, and the two children must go with us. ”

Sister Cao felt a little sorry for the child and wanted to protest, but Chen Lao Er hurriedly responded, "Dad, don't worry, I will take care of the family." ”

The old man Cao let out a long sigh, helped the old woman to get into the car, and then got into the wheel, and finally shouted to the little steward to set off quickly.

The little steward was so anxious that his heart was about to catch fire, and when he saw this, he waved his whip and urged the convoy to go on the road. Sister Cao looked at the convoy that was walking away, and suddenly felt like she had lost a lot of things. But she didn't want to think about it too much, Chen Lao Er had already pulled her to accept the Cao family's courtyard happily...

In the filial piety garden outside Kyoto, Mr. Feng took the letter from his disciple and locked himself in the study for two hours. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he pushed the door and walked in, and said with a smile, "Sir, the three little masters have all drunk the tonic soup and just fell asleep." Do you want to take the pulse again..."

Old Man Feng seems to have aged a lot in the past half a day, and the wrinkles on his face have become deeper and deeper. He waved his hand weakly, and was silent for a long time before saying, "No need, tell Zhang Yang to hurry up and gather the convoy and materials, and send the three children south early tomorrow morning." There is also a letter here, send it out quickly through the highest-level secret letter channel! ”

Qingfeng was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and was about to ask again, but Mr. Feng was already annoyed and scolded, "Don't go yet!" ”

"Ah, yes, yes, sir!" Qingfeng took the letter and ran out...

As the old saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, and the sea eats the sea. The people on the plains cultivated fields to grow grain, and the people in the hilly areas hunted and gathered wild goods, so that they could also have a full belly. And for those who live by the sea, all hope for survival will depend on the sea.

On this day, in a small bay in the southernmost part of Haining County, Dong Ping was carrying shoes barefoot, gossiping with an old man walking on the beach.

At first sight, the old man was a person who lived by the sea all the year round, his face was blown bronze by the sea breeze, and the inside of his eyelids was faintly white. At this time, he talked about what he was good at, and the old man was very happy to point to a wooden shed in the distance on the shore, and said with a smile, "Second master, our big ship has been built, just wait for tomorrow to test the water." In the future, you don't need to use those small wooden boats to transport things to the island, the waterways of the labyrinth island are too complicated, and it is easy to capsize if one is not good. ”

Dong Ping nodded and responded, "The old man is an expert in sailing, so he will all listen to the old man's command." However, old man, you still have to worry a lot about manpower..."

"The old man understands, don't worry, don't say that after you came to Haining County, you took care of our Chen family, but we haven't repaid the son's great kindness yet. If it weren't for Gongzi sacrificing his life to save him, our Chen family wouldn't have survived in that big storm. ”

"The old man is polite, let's not talk about the past, now life is good."

"That's it, my old man has a pot of wine to drink every night, and it's all thanks to the son."

An old man and a young man were talking happily, when they suddenly saw an old man and a young man in the distance supporting each other and hurriedly ran over. Dong Ping recognized that the old man was the big shopkeeper arranged by his brother-in-law in the state capital, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Laohan, and then walked quickly to greet him.

"Uncle Shen, how did you find here? If there's something to do, just let the little butler run..."

"Second young master, there seems to be something big going on at the owner's house." The shopkeeper Shen was not verbose, waved away and helped his eldest grandson quickly took out a small copper pipe the thickness of a finger from his arms, and finally said, "This is the highest-level secret letter in the firm, the old man has already read it, and it is not clear for a while, so the second young master should also hurry up and take a look." ”

Dong Ping didn't dare to delay when he saw the old man like this, and took out the note in the copper pipe in three or two clicks. When he could see the content clearly, his face instantly turned pale, and he stared at him and wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.

Old Shen was prepared, and he reached out and slapped him twice on the back. Dong Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Eldest sister! As the words landed, tears crackled and fell.

Old Shopkeeper Shen's nose was sour when he heard this, and he comforted him one after another, "Second Young Master, don't worry, the master mother is very safe now, don't be too sad." We still have a lot of things to do, the three little masters are about to be delivered, and the island still needs to procure supplies and buy additional manpower. ”

Xu heard that the three little nephews were about to arrive, Dong Ping wiped his tears indiscriminately, hurriedly grabbed the old shopkeeper's hand, and asked, "Uncle Shen, what should I do now?" Is there any other news for my brother-in-law? ”

Although Dong Ping said that he became a parent and had been a parent official for more than half a year, after all, he was young, and this matter was related to the safety of all his relatives, so he was so panicked that he had no idea.

The old shopkeeper Shen sighed in his heart, slowly stroked his back for him, and whispered his calculated arrangements.

"The houses on the island only need to be cleaned, and there is no shortage of wood and other things, and the only things that need to be added in large quantities are food, cloth and all kinds of miscellaneous items. The second young master had better choose a capable person to go to the island to preside over the internal affairs, and arrange it properly, and when the family comes over, he can directly take the boat to the island. ”

Dong Ping nodded again and again, and responded, "I'll arrange for my insider to go to the island when I go back, and if she is pregnant, just tell others to go back to her hometown to raise a baby." In addition, my Haining County Commander still has some power, if Uncle Shen has something, just send someone to the government to deliver the letter. ”

"Okay, okay." Old man Shen hurriedly responded, the old and the young discussed the chores in a low voice, and just finished speaking, they arrived on the coast, so they got in the car and went back to the city.

Yang Wanyin was setting up a banquet in the back garden on this day, and feasted the wives of several auxiliary officials in the county government. Women get together to gossip, except for their husbands and children, clothes and jewelry, and a few glasses of water and wine are even more lively.

Yang Wanyin is usually kind to people and acts generously, seeing that several ladies are so hot that there are slight sweat marks on their foreheads, she invited them to move to the flower hall to sit, and then asked the maid to bring up the sweet water peach with crushed ice.

A group of ladies were tired of eating local pineapples, coconuts and other fruits, and suddenly they felt very sweet and cool when they ate peaches, and they praised them one after another. Yang Wanyin then gave each of them two bottles to take back, which provoked them to thank each other.

finally sent off the guests, Yang Wanyin leaned on the soft collapse to rest, touching the slightly bulging little belly with one hand and talking softly to the unborn child. At the beginning, she heard her eldest sister say that this is called prenatal education, and the children born are smarter than other people's.

Although she is not greedy and hopes that the child will be healthy, it would be good if the child could be like her husband.

She was so happy to think about it, and suddenly saw her husband rushing back from outside, his clothes were soaked with sweat, so he quickly got up and stepped forward and said angrily, "Didn't you say that the sun fell in the afternoon and then came back, why did you sweat so much?" Could it be that there is any urgent business in the yamen that cannot be handled? ”

Although Dong Ping was anxious about the fire, he still couldn't bear to worry about his wife, so he tried his best to suppress the tumbling mood and replied in a low voice, "It's okay in the yamen, but I happened to meet Shen Lao's shopkeeper on the way back." The brother-in-law sent a message saying that my sister disliked the winter at home and was too cold, so she moved the idea of walking again. Shen Lao's shopkeeper Zhang Luo sent things to the labyrinth island, I was too happy at this time and ran back to discuss with you, if you don't feel tired, it is better to send you to live on the island for half a month, just to help arrange housework, stay to pick up my sister, and then stay with her for a while. ”

Yang Wanyin was stunned when she heard this, then laughed casually, and said happily, "Ah, my sister is coming, this is a big deal!" She also has three children, and she has to arrange food and clothing. Since my husband can trust me, then I will stay with my sister for a while, just to ask her how to raise a baby. ”

Dong Ping let out a long breath in his heart, and finally remembered his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he added, "My sister has always been gentle and thoughtful, and when she goes to Kyoto, she will definitely invite her father-in-law and mother-in-law to accompany her." I can't say you'll be able to reunite with your mother-in-law in a few days..."

"Really?" Yang Wanyin was even happier after hearing this, and quickly calculated, "Oh, my father and mother are not used to the humidity here, I want to prepare more medicinal herbs, and make medicinal soup for my father and mother when the time comes." Also, my mother's favorite seafood..."

Dong Ping echoed with a smile from time to time, and seeing that his wife was not suspicious, he went to the study under the pretext of having something to do to make busy arrangements. The personal maid sent by Mrs. Yang later poured a cup of tea and sent it to the master, and whispered, "Miss, why does the slave look at the master a little strangely?" Is he going to send the young lady out, and then secretly pick up the newcomer in the house..."

"Smack!" When Yang Wanyin heard this, she raised her hand and smashed the tea bowl in her hand on the maid, and scolded, "Shut up, who gave you the courage to dare to arrange the master at will?" ”

The maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and confessed her guilt again and again, "Miss, the slave is wrong, and the slave is also worried that the young lady will be wronged..."
