Chapter 182 Design Stays
Mrs. Ding's car was stopped, and Lu Ren also stepped forward to pull the reins of the horse, and it was not so easy for Mrs. Ding to urge the car forward. And after being speechless for a long time, Mrs. Ding came back to her senses, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said to Lu Ren: "Why did Ling Jun stop me?" Yes, last night the general invited Lingjun to drink, and today the sky is clear that Lingjun has stopped me here, presumably under the order of the general, right? It's just that I have made up my mind, please let me go. ”
Wan'er also followed behind Lu Ren at this time, and when she heard Mrs. Ding say such words, Wan'er knelt down to Mrs. Ding with both knees, but Mrs. Ding was stunned, and hurriedly called: "Wan'er, what are you doing here?" Get up, get up, it's on the street! ”
Wan'er shook her head gently at Mrs. Ding, and her gaze drifted to Lu Ren. Lu Ren smiled apologetically at Wan'er, and then said to Mrs. Ding: "Madam, if you want to blame me, I asked Wan'er to do this, and now this is the only way to make Madame stop the carriage and listen to Lu Ren say a few words."
"Don't hide it from Madame, last night Gong Cao did ask Lu Ren to try to persuade Madame not to return to the divorce and return home...... In fact, what Madame wants to go is a family matter of Madame, and even if the general has a trust, I Lu Ren still should not ask. Today, I just want to ask Madame to go with me to a certain place to have a look before Madame leaves, and after seeing it, Lu Ren will never stop him for half a minute. ”
Mrs. Ding's face and tone became a little cold: "Take a look at somewhere with you?" Is it a prison or a place of execution? I count the general's intentions, and you are Xu Duling, so it is reasonable for him to instruct you to take me down and ask for the guilt. Since you want to take me, you don't have to be so polite, call the sergeant forward, and I will tie up! ”
Although there are few records of Mrs. Ding in the book, it can still be seen between the lines that Mrs. Ding is a stubborn character, but it also gives Lu Ren enough psychological preparation. Hearing Mrs. Ding's hard words at this moment, Lu Ren shook his head and smiled: "Why did Madam say this?" If the general wants to take you, how can he let you get in the car and leave the house, and then go to this street and let me, a person who is not a relative, arrest the lady? Madam, I'm not a Xu Duling now, but just a friend of Zixiu, and I want to ask my friend Gao Tang to go with me to a certain place to have a look. If Madame is suspicious, I will immediately order someone to remove the antlers and let Madame go. ”
Mrs. Ding just wanted to speak, but Wan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, finally spoke: "Mother, the Lord has no intention of stopping his mother, so please come forward with the Lord to have a look." My daughter is here. After speaking, Wan'er bowed to Mrs. Ding.
Mrs. Ding can be said to be a soft and hard character, but because of Cao Ang, she still hates Lu Ren and Wan'er, two people who have a very delicate relationship with her. Seeing Wan'er crouching here, Mrs. Ding sighed heavily and stepped out of the carriage, stepped forward to help Wan'er and said, "That's it, for my daughter's sake, what's the matter if I go and take a look?" Please lead the way. ”
Lu Ren's heart was secretly relieved, and he said that the first step of the plan seemed to have been successfully completed. So he asked Wan'er to accompany Mrs. Ding, and guided Mrs. Ding's car to a certain place.
What is that place?
"Raising the Child...... Lingjun, I don't live in Shenshe and don't come out much, I have heard a lot about this righteous house you built in Xudu City, but I have never been able to come to see it, but what do you mean by bringing me here today? ”
In front of the gate of the Fuyouyi House, Mrs. Ding looked up at the plaque with Wan'er's support and said these words thoughtfully.
Lu Ren said: "Please Madame follow me in first." ”
Led Mrs. Ding into the mansion and hid behind the shadow of the second door to watch inward. At this time, because it was not time for the class to start, more than 100 children in the volunteer house were carrying water to sweep the floor, clean the windows, and wipe a few times.
Because it has not been long since the Fuyou Yishe was established, the cloth and clothing expected by Lu Ren and Xun Yu have not yet been allocated in place, so most of the children are still dressed in tattered clothes, but they are quite clean; In addition, although these children were fed by Lu Ren's money, they no longer had to go hungry, but the yellow hunger and thinness caused by malnutrition could not be made up for in a short time. In a word, such a group of children gather here, as long as they are not cold-blooded and ruthless people in this scene, their noses will be sour after seeing them, and Mrs. Ding is certainly no exception.
A few older and more sensible children saw Lu Ren and Wan'er, and hurriedly ran over to greet Lu Ren. Lu Ren motioned to them not to alarm the other children, and ordered these children to salute Mrs. Ding, and then sent them busy with their own business. When these children left, when Lu Ren turned his head to look at Mrs. Ding, he saw that Mrs. Ding lowered her head slightly, and covered her lips with one hand, obviously trying her best to restrain her desire to cry.
Seeing Mrs. Ding like this, Lu Ren breathed a sigh of relief again and said, "It seems that I should have taken the right step at this point." Speaking of which, Cao Ang is not Mrs. Ding's biological son, but Mrs. Ding will turn her face to the end with Cao Cao because of Cao Ang's death, which shows that her maternal nature in her heart may be stronger than anyone else. Now that she wants to shed tears when she sees these poor orphans, perhaps it is a proof of this...... If this step is right, then the next step should be smooth, right? Uh, how do I speak next? ”
Lu Ren was searching his stomach and thinking hard about the wording, but Mrs. Ding walked to the wall window and quietly watched the children who were busy in the courtyard. After looking at it for a while, Mrs. Ding's hands involuntarily raised slightly with a little trembling, and they seemed to want to do something.
Coincidentally, because Lu Ren arranged things overnight, Cheng, Xin, and Lan were sent by Lu Ren to Fuyouyi House to do something, and when they saw Lu Ren coming, they came to greet Lu Ren, but they were seen by Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding was also quite familiar with these little children, and now when she saw them, Mrs. Ding trembled and beckoned to them: "Come, come quickly......
The little kid froze on the spot, and Lu Ren also understood something at this moment, and without waiting for the little kid to react, he stretched out his hand and pushed the little kid's back and pushed it into Mrs. Ding's arms. Looking at Mrs. Ding's arms again, she hugged these little children tightly, her cheeks were grinding back and forth between their foreheads, and tears were quietly falling from the corners of her eyes: "Child, poor child, my child ......"
Seeing this, Lu Ren was dumbfounded and said, "My God! This, this, this...... Is it that Mrs. Ding can't have children because of physical defects, so she likes children very much? Looking back, Cao Ang's attachment to Mrs. Ding, if it weren't for their extreme dependence on each other, it wouldn't have been like that, right? This Mrs. Ding is making trouble...... How do I feel like I'm about to catch up with Song Qingling? ”
Not to mention Song Qingling, even if it is a female wolf, at some point, she will use her own milk to feed a young wolf that is not born by herself, or even a baby. Some of the wolf children that appeared in the legend were actually made in this way. And when a woman has an outbreak of motherhood, I'm afraid no one can stop it.
Mrs. Ding knew that she had been grinding for a long time with the little children, and she had goosebumps all over her body. It wasn't until the bell rang for the opening of the study hall and the children in the courtyard entered the reading hall to read that Mrs. Ding reluctantly let them go.
Walking back to the door slowly and looking at the empty courtyard, Mrs. Ding said to Lu Ren in a somewhat distracted state: "Lingjun, I have heard a little about this matter of raising children and righteous houses, I heard that all the children here are the orphans and orphans who have been collected here according to the decree issued by you in the surrounding areas of Xudu?" I also heard that although this righteous house was donated by the Xun family, all the children's clothing and food were paid by your money? Why are you doing this? ”
Lu Ren scratched his scalp and sighed, "Maybe it's because I was also an orphan who wandered all over the world and lived by begging." He also asked this question when he brought Lao Guo here a while ago, and later said that I was 'do unto others what I don't want, don't do to others'......"
Mrs. Ding nodded slightly, her eyes suddenly revealed twelve points of love, and she reached out and gently stroked the little faces of Lu Xin and Lu Lan beside her: "I also heard that you have another order, if Xu Duzhong is married but has no children and no daughters under his knees, after checking the truth, he can come to the Young Childcare House and choose the child to be adopted as the queen...... Has anyone ever adopted it today? ”
Lu Ren shook his head: "Not yet." After all, the time for the establishment of the Fuyu Yishe is still short, and Xu Duzhong still has doubts even if he wants to adopt the latter. Maybe after a while, the operation of the righteous house is on the right track, and the doubts of the people of Xu Duzhong are gone, someone will naturally come to adopt. But to be honest, there are a total of 147 children adopted in the house, but there are only 35 boys, and the rest are girls...... The world's thoughts are patriarchal over female, and I'm a little worried that there will only be a group of girls left here. But I ......."
Before the latter words could be spoken, Mrs. Ding directly interrupted Lu Ren's words and said: "Lu Lingjun, since Ang'er's death, I have no children and no daughters under my knees, and you brought me here, do you intentionally want me to adopt a few children to relieve my grief due to Ang'er's death?" I am a woman of little understanding, but I am not dull. To tell you the truth, I have already had this intention in my heart, and I feel the painstaking work of Ling Jun. It's just that I have made up my mind to abandon the general, and my Ding family is poor, and even if I have the heart, I can't adopt a few. If Lingjun doesn't care about this, let me adopt a man and a woman. I've thanked Ling Jun in advance. After speaking, he hugged Lu Xin and Lu Lan tightly, and looked at the posture as if he wanted to take Lu Xin and Lu Lan away.
Lu Ren was stunned, but Lu Xin and Lu Lan quickly broke away from Mrs. Ding's arms and retreated to Lu Ren's side. And with this struggle, Mrs. Ding's arms hung there, looking at Lu Xin and Lu Lan, Mrs. Ding's face was also full of disappointment. Lu Xin's temperament was relatively calm, and he didn't talk much, so that Xiao Lulan, a wild girl, didn't dare to say anything, but she also dodged behind Lu Ren, leaned out a little and came out and said to Mrs. Ding: "Madam, I and my second brother understand your kindness." However, the three of us have already followed the adults, and we don't want to leave them......"
Mrs. Ding's hand slowly lowered, and she sighed softly, "It's rare that you can be like this at a young age...... Maybe I'll go to the house and choose an orphan to adopt. ”
Things have developed like this, Lu Ren is still talking about it? Hurriedly threw out what he really wanted to say in his heart: "Madam, please allow me to say a word." I should not ask Lu Ren about the family affairs between you and the general, and if you want to return home, I have no right to interfere. But as long as you want, all the orphans and orphans in this shelter are your children...... I mean, can the lady be the presiding officer of this child's house? ”
(uh...... I overslept again, but it rained in Nanchang today, so I didn't sleep so deeply, and I slept really soundly. Shamelessly begging for tickets, asking for collections, asking for recommendations! )
