After a night's rest, Dong Ce and Cao Luorong got up early in the morning and began to deal with the problems of Zhongjia Village.

What happened in Changcheng County was extremely important, and the news naturally spread quickly, it was just a night's work, whether it was Wuxing Mansion or Jinling Mansion, they all sent people to assist in the trial, and although Dong Ce was just a commoner, but after all, he was involved in this matter, and his confession was of great help to the villagers.

Among them, Cao Luorong played a role that is not insignificant, after all, who dares not to give Princess Xian's Jinlan sisters a little face?

With her, the strong men of Zhongjia Village can easily wash away the casualties caused by kidnapping, plundering and ruffians.

Otherwise, the imperial court is likely to put them in a dungeon for a year or two in order to make an example of them, so what will happen to the old and weak women and children in Zhongjia Village?

With the help of Cao Luorong, Lu Xiaoxiao and Wei Teng, the Zhuang Ding of Zhongjia Village was acquitted on the same day, and as for the ruffians, although they were not enough to lose their heads, they were sent to repair the dam, and when they were repaired, they could be freed.

After a busy day, and a night's rest, early the next morning, at the north ferry port of Changcheng County, Dong Ce looked up at the old and weak women and children standing on the slope of the ferry, although they were not healed under the treatment of Wang Chongen, they all recovered a lot of spirit, and they were able to go to the ground, but at this moment they were mostly dressed in linen and filial piety, which was distressing.

Dong Ce retracted his gaze, lowered his head and sighed to Zhong Xiaoshi, and said, "Mourning is changing!" ”

Although Zhongjia Village has returned to peace, in this turmoil, they lost seven relatives, and most of them are strong laborers, and there are big and small families to support, which is really not something worth celebrating!

"Eun Gong!" Zhong Xiaoshi called out, and fell into contemplation for a moment before saying: "Although you haven't said it, I know that Wei Zheng has not been arrested, and he will definitely not give up, and now we have been involved with Engong!" ”

"Huh!" Dong Ce smiled faintly and said: "Now I don't have lice and don't itch, I don't have to worry about debts, you don't have to worry about me, this is the purpose of my teaching, you take good care of your family, and when we can see each other again one day, it's not too late for us to talk about wine." ”

After Dong Ce finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the boat.

When Dong Ce stepped on the deck, suddenly, Zhong Xiaoshi shouted resolutely from behind him: "Engong! ”

Dong Ce turned around when he heard this, and when he just looked at the ferry, he suddenly saw that Zhong Xiaoshi had just knelt down, and in an instant, the strong men behind him, including all the villagers, knelt down one by one, clasped their fists at him and shouted: "I wish Engong a smooth journey!" ”

Hundreds of people roared in unison, and the gratitude contained in them was exhilarating and sad.

Liu Su on the deck couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said: "There is no way to cross the autumn tour, and the foggy mountain can't see through it." There is that king, and that one is with that. Wisdom sees the fog as no fog, and clears the clouds and fog to save the helpless. One night of suffering, one heart of life and death. By the time they broke through and parted, Baishou was already in tears. Sister, cherish it! ”

Cao Luorong took a deep breath and didn't say a word. The confused eyes are hard to see, what is she thinking!

"Let's go back." Dong Ce waved his hand, sighed silently, turned around and thought, "Alas, what a loss-making deal!" ”

Dong Ce never forced others, since he hinted so many times, and the people of Zhongjia Village did not have the intention of joining his teachings, it showed that people did not want to participate in this chaotic and dangerous world, since this was the case, it was useless for him to say more.

"Engong, when we wait to repair our home, we will go to Jinling to repay your kindness!" Zhong Xiaoshi's eyes were red and he roared.

Hearing this, Dong Ce paused, smiled bitterly, and entered the cabin without looking back.

After the big boat rode the wind and waves and gradually turned into black spots, the people of Zhongjia Village slowly dispersed.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when Dong Ce returned to Lu Zhuang, Lu Xiaoxiao, who came back first, immediately appeared, and pulled him to the side and said, "Master, my father wants to see you!" ”

"Ah, how fast!" Dong Ce didn't expect this Lu Xiaoxiao's father to be so well-informed.

"Are you going?" Lu Xiaoxiao really regards Dong Ce as a teacher, so he asks this question, otherwise if a scholar wants to see a common people, will the common people dare to do so?

"Of course, why not." Dong Ce nodded, and as soon as he finished speaking, Liu Su on the side came over and said with a light smile: "Dong Gongzi, if it weren't for Su'er's insistence on letting the tiger return to the mountain, he wouldn't have encountered these things, but it can be regarded as a crooked fight, so that Dong Gongzi saved hundreds of lives in Zhongjia Village, and Su'er has now figured it out, Xiaohua will indeed cause me a lot of inconvenience, and now I will entrust it to Dong Gongzi!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Su glanced down at the little tiger in his arms, struggled for a moment, and finally handed it over to Dong Ce.

Dong Ce knew that Liu Su handed over the little tiger to him now, just to break the pain, otherwise when he left Gusu, I was afraid that Liu Su would be reluctant to give up!

And Cao Luorong didn't say a word from beginning to end, Dong Ce's actions did make her admire very much, but it was limited to that, Dong Ce was not her ideal person, but who else could there be besides him? Ye Xize? If he has Dong Ce's iron posture, or if Dong Ce can be as rich as him, well-versed in the past and the present, and more poetic and picturesque, it is definitely Cao Luorong's best choice, but unfortunately, he is just a businessman!

Dealing with interests all day long, full of copper smell, not understanding the joy of poetry, not knowing the beauty of calligraphy and painting, living with such a person, Cao Luorong is speechless, and some are just endless sadness.

After the four of them exchanged pleasantries with their own thoughts, they said goodbye.

The two daughters naturally went home to report their safety, and Dong Ce, under the leadership of Lu Xiaoxiao, arrived in front of an elegant attic in Lu Zhuang, Dong Ce first handed over the small flower to Liu Fu, and then entered the attic, and saw Lu Jinyong, the current helmsman of the Lu family's industry.

Lu Jinyong is only forty years old, with a first-word face, a sheep's horn beard, and a pair of eyes that are the same as Dong Ce's, all of them are calm and waveless, making it difficult to see what he is thinking.

Dong Ce was stunned when he saw Lu Jinyong, but it was definitely not him, but he was a person who was five feet eight and close to one meter eight, why did he give birth to a freak like Lu Xiaoxiao?

"Dong Ce is here." When Lu Jinyong saw Dong Ce, he smiled unexpectedly and beckoned him to sit down.

After Dong Ce sat down suspiciously, Lu Xiaoxiao had just sat down firmly when he heard his father snort coldly and said, "You don't go out yet, stay here and get in the way." ”

"Ah, but ......" Lu Xiaoxiao was not happy when she heard it.

Without waiting for Lu Jinyong to say more, Dong Ce said first: "Lu Dadong, Xiao Qi is also a business partner below, and there must be nothing else to talk about next except business, in this case, Xiao Qi also has the right to listen, and if he feels bad, he also has the right to make suggestions, I hope Lu Dadong can understand." ”

"Hehehe." Lu Jinyong smiled and said, "Your mouth is exactly the same as your grandfather, Diao!" ”

"Huh? Does Lu Dadong's family know my grandfather? Dong Ce was surprised.

"Of course, those who know how to break into the West, Dong Chuangxi, and the Daning Jianchao were the first to have the courage to break into the Western Regions, and who doesn't know the entire Jiangnan traders? And I have also learned from your grandfather for some time, speaking of which, he is also my business teacher, hehe, you don't need to call me the big boss, just call me Lu Bo. ”

"Oh, I see." Dong Ce thought about it and understood, the business community in Jiangnan is very big, but now there are only a few who are famous, Ningzhou and Suzhou are next to each other, and it is strange that they don't know each other.

It's just that the Lu family is doing an absolutely big business, and in later generations, it will be a big group, real estate, tourist areas, agriculture, workshops, everything, and the Dong family is just a transportation.

"Yesterday, I happened to be in the prince's mansion, do you know what I found?" Lu Jinyong suddenly smiled mysteriously.

Dong Ce's eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Hehe, that tea tastes good." ”

"Haha!" Lu Jinyong also smiled, nodded and said: "It's not just good, it's just a precedent and a new faction!" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Jinyong couldn't help but feel pity and said: "Alas, it's a pity, whether it is the tea set or the tea leaves, it has made King Xian take the lead, alas! ”

"You want me to send you straight and say no, what nonsense!" Dong Ce scolded secretly in his heart, and said on the surface: "Now, this way of tasting tea is still being tried, both tea and tea sets are extremely rare, but starting next year, these will be born and occupy a place in the tea shop!" ”

"Hmm." Lu Jinyong nodded and said: "But this seat is too big, now who else are you besides joining hands with Xiao Qi?" ”

"At present, there is only Xiao Qi, in the future, let's see, these are not in a hurry." Dong Ce smiled, he didn't talk too much, he couldn't tell Lu Jinyong that after the art garden was renovated, he would go to Yangxian County to open a workshop.

It is necessary to know that there is a famous saying in later generations, the pearls and jade in the world are enough to take, how can it be like a pill of soil in Yangxian Creek!

Among those who like tea, Dong Ce has never heard of anyone who doesn't like purple clay pots!

If it weren't for Dong Ce's eagerness to go back to see the situation in the art garden, he would definitely have to go to Yangxian.

"You and Xiao Qi build a tea garden...... Lu Jinyong said this, paused, and said: "I can give this land to Xiao Qi, you don't have to pay rent, but you can't be limited to this, you will inevitably expand in the future, and then you will have to calculate it separately!" ”

Dong Ce smiled bitterly: "In the spring of next year, Biluochun will be famous all over the world, and the land at that time will probably not be ordinarily expensive!" ”

"It's good that you kid knows!" Lu Jinyong said very ruthlessly.

"It's a shame that you're still Xiaoqi's father, it's really a shopping mall without a father and son." Dong Ce said depressedly.

"There is no father and son in the mall, well, this is reasonable, sometimes I can't talk about it, otherwise it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the clan, but it's not entirely, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't agree to anything else." Lu Jinyong met Dong Ce today, in fact, he just wanted to see him, and as for business, he was not in a hurry now.

Lu Xiaoxiao listened to them say this, and regretted that his intestines were black, this is too boring! If I knew this, I wouldn't stay here.

After another greeting, Dong Ce had a light meal at the invitation of the Lu family's father and son, and then went back to Cao's house with Liu Fu.
