Chapter 418: Going Home
In the swaying carriage, Dong Xiaoman squinted his eyes and rested on the pillow. Huanhuan was holding a book of regional chronicles and reading it with relish, while Erya, who was leaning against the door of the carriage, was holding a small curtain and looking at the scenery outside.
After a long time, Erya turned her head and asked Dong Xiaoman: "Just leave home like this, can you rest assured?" ”
Dong Xiaoman changed his posture, frowned and said, "Why don't you worry, didn't he come back when he ran to Nanyang alone." ”
And I've made a lot of money, so what's so hard about opening a small hotel. Those road dishes can be done by any diligent woman, and Erlang is now thinking about how to arrange his difficult brothers.
"I just feel that it's not right in my heart, what if those people are each in charge of a mountain and break up the gang in the future?" Taste the sweetness of making money, start a new stove by yourself, and others will do the same, that is not to embroider wedding dresses for others.
Dong Xiaoman opened his eyes and looked at his daughter who didn't care at all on the side, turned his head and said, "That's impossible." First, what they value most is friendship, and they will not do things that damage their reputation. Second, they are a group of people who are working alone, and they don't know how to get through the joints and how to partner with the stores in front and behind. Thirdly, and most importantly, without a chef, they don't have all the ingredients, and they really don't feel much pain if they want tossing. ”
Erya nodded, it would be better if that was the case.
Dong Xiaoman got up, lifted the curtain next to him and looked at it. I saw Wei Chi's big head walking in front, and the tail was broken by Santan in the back.
"You two are here, aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will be angry?" Dong Xiaoman pursed his lips and teased Erya, but his eyes drifted to Huanhuan, who was listening to the sound with his ears.
The grandson watched in her hands. What else does she have to worry about? Erya pouted. She was a little helpless about this mother-in-law.
Let's say that people are at fault. But there's nothing particularly wrong with them. The elders care about the younger generations, and everyone thinks differently, which is reasonable.
It's really against your heart to say that people are special. People see you as just a daughter-in-law, no matter how well you do, it is also serious to serve men and reproduce children. If he is not careful with his son, it will be a big deal.
Dong Xiaoman sighed and said: "I'm afraid that there will be a tough battle when we go back, so I'm already a person who has been suspended." Speaking of what he was about to face in the future, the evil factor in Dong Xiaoman's body was in a crazy shock.
Swinging finally arrived at the first resting place. Dong Xiaoman took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.
The thirteenth and other six people were like the six black mountains, surrounding their mother and daughter, and Dong Xiaoman knew that this was the light of his daughter.
The store that everyone came to was one of Dong Xiaoman's three hotels in Beijing, and this time there was no fanfare, it was a private visit to Weifu.
Seeing the arrival of a major customer, the shopkeeper of Yuan Anju greeted him with a smile and a flattering face.
Because she is a woman, it is not easy for the shopkeeper to look at it. And Dong Xiaoman also confessed, so Wei Chi and Santan avoided it and just went to the backyard to unload the car.
Huan Huan said to the thirteen who hugged his chest beside him: "You go and deal with the shopkeeper, everything is up to you." ”
Thirteen is also welcome, if this is what Tanglin Xuanyuan said to her. Then she must be grateful to Zero Tears. Now I just think that Huanhuan let go and let her guard.
"Boss, how many rooms do you have here?" Thirteen stood at the counter. Look around the environment.
Dong Xiaoman, Huanhuan and Erya gathered around a table.
"Guest, our rooms here are empty, you can choose. It's just that it's late now, why don't you eat something to cushion your stomach first? Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Thirteen glanced at the 'weak' mother and daughter.
nodded: "Set up a few tables of wine and food as soon as possible, but my hostess's table should be light." As for how much meat the retinue had, they were not allowed to eat or drink. ”
Peony couldn't help pouting after hearing this: "Why do the guards eat meat, and the lady and the young lady should be light?" Isn't this putting the cart before the horse, losing the rules? ”
Dong Xiaoman nodded, secretly praising that she was a maid from a big family, and she was very thoughtful.
"Silly girl, eating those big fish and meat so late doesn't make you upset? Eat some light and drink more porridge and water to remove the fire, which will also make you more comfortable. Erya shook her head and smiled.
"Then why do the guards want to eat meat?" Aren't they afraid of diarrhea? Although Peony didn't dare to continue, she still couldn't hide the disbelief on her face.
"After a hard day's work, how can they travel tomorrow if they don't eat something good? You eat a steamed bun for a morning, and when you have nothing to do, you can eat a melon seed and pick up a cake and fruit as a meal. People walk for a day, and they sleep with a knife at night. ”
Only then did Peony and the others understand that they were following their master. Although she was nominally a maid, she sat in the carriage and made a lot of noise all the way.
The master is easy-going, and there are all kinds of snacks and snacks in the car. They didn't feel thirsty or hungry along the way. Even there are a lot of things around you to pass the time, and it's okay to turn over the rope to play if you don't want to play.
As for the guards, they looked majestic one by one, but it was much more difficult than them to ride a tall horse.
In this way, Dong Xiaoman has a table for three people, four people a table in spring, summer, autumn and winter, a table for four people in peony, forsythia, auspiciousness, and Ruyi, Wei Chi and Santan have merged a few tables with another thirty or so people to become a big table, and thirteen or sixteen people are eating noisily at one table.
The shopkeeper is not unseen, and the dishes are almost eaten before he went over and asked Thirteen: "My lord, the little one has cleaned up the room." You see, how do you need to live? ”
Thirteen raised his eyebrows and looked around again, pointed upstairs and said, "We don't want to be bunked, we want the rooms upstairs and downstairs, and all of them must be next to the staircase." ”
After speaking, he got up and saluted Dong Xiaoman, and said, "Madam, be careful when you go out." Thirteen vulgar, please forgive me and miss! ”
Huan Huan tilted his head and whispered to Thirteen: "Mother is the most forgiving person, you don't need to be restrained. ”
Thirteen said: "The duty of the slave is to protect the safety of the two of them, so I want to arrange it this way." Each upper room is equipped with a maid and a female guard on duty, and the other room is rested by the remaining two. Tomorrow day and evening will be on duty by those who are resting today. In this way, you can not only serve the master, but also let the subordinates rest. In addition, the six of us were divided into three shifts and were on duty at the master in the evening. As for the guards in your mansion. You can follow the rules of the house. ”
It's very clear. It is my responsibility to protect the safety of my dependents, and we are not responsible for anything else.
Dong Xiaoman agreed that Huanhuan would use these people, neither because there was no one at home, nor did he want to put on a show and take advantage. She thought in her heart that if her daughter really married into the Tanglin family, she would be sure that she could be prepared by looking at the plans of other people's families first.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, she can only think about this in her heart, and she doesn't dare to say a word on her lips. Huanhuan only thinks that her mother is just giving herself face.
Dong Xiaoman gave Thirteen this face, and she naturally did her best. She has this self-knowledge, and she knows what her master means. Since people have given themselves this dignity, they work extra hard.
Leaving here, it didn't take long for the large army to arrive in the capital.
When he arrived in the capital, Dong Xiaoman was not in a hurry.
Let Santan arrange for the guards to arrange shifts, and the rest of the people will go to rest if they are willing to rest, and they will go for a walk in the capital.
She took Erya and Huanhuan to visit Xiaohu's mother and his stepfather, who was in charge of the Criminal Department.
After such a long time, his stepfather has not been promoted, and the family is naturally still in its original position.
Dong Xiaoman went to visit his mother, and the two chatted all afternoon and gave a lot of gifts. And he left.
"She's also a blessed one, and I may not be willing to let people in if I change it." Dong Xiaoman walked down the street. Boo.
"What's more, I thought that the back-burner helped us back then, but Lord Zhanggu was good-minded." Erya also admired, speaking of that experience, I am afraid that no one can understand it except her.
After staying in the capital for a few days, Dong Xiaoman bought a lot of things in addition to visiting here. Let the steward left behind in the store opened by Xiaohu in the capital run an errand for himself.
The souvenirs he brought with him and the things he bought in the capital, and instructed the steward to bring them to his old friends in Liaodong.
Cui Rongsheng, who was already married in Erdaowan, looked at the few words on the letterhead that seemed to contain warm words in the bill, and was speechless for a while.
His father, his own family, Wei'er's master, Lao Stubborn, Sixth Aunt, and Xu Ming's family all sent gifts.
What's more, in the name of Wei'er, he sent a hundred taels of silver to the old stubborn man, and gave him their address in Pingliang City.
Cui Rongsheng couldn't help but sigh, it is a great joy in life to have such an owner.
Originally, someone suggested taking advantage of this opportunity to go to Jiangnan to see Zhuangzi.
Huanhuan reacted more intensely: "When did our Zhuangzi become so expensive, it is not worth a few dollars, but I take it to heart." ”
This made the housekeeper who stayed in the capital dare not make a mistake, and Dong Xiaoman just glanced at Erya and revealed the matter.
As he walked further to his hometown, Dong Xiaoman's mood became more and more complicated.
It's not ecstatic, it's not sad. Mixed with inexplicable excitement and strange feelings, especially as the surrounding buildings and accents became more and more familiar, that inexplicable emotion rippled in the chest for a long time.
The group came to Rongcheng, where it was still familiar to her.
After Dong Xiaogang received the news, he would take the time to walk around the city gate every day.
Yesterday, I learned that I was going to enter the city today, and I waited at the city gate with Chu Li early.
It is also the right time for Dong Xiaoman to come, it is said that Chu Li has won the appreciation of his boss in the past two years, and he will be promoted and leave in three years at most.
As the carriage swayed into Rongcheng, Dong Xiaoman didn't know what Lu Dao said.
Dong Xiaogang walked outside the carriage with a smile on his face. After passing a street, I couldn't help but remind Dong Xiaoman: "Sister, do you still remember this place?" Back then, you and your brother-in-law sold Jiang rice noodles here, and later met Xiaohu and met Erya! ”
Dong Xiaoman indifferently looked at the unfamiliar crowd outside the window following the childish children running around, the so-called "young and old people who left home and returned to their hometowns, and the hometown accent has not changed and the sideburns are declining".
Although it has only been a few years, my heart is completely different from when I left. (To be continued......)
