Chapter 33 Dongjiazhuang on the riverside

The decision had already been made, and there was nothing to do with the county government left and right, Xie Hong informed Fang Jin, and went home to make preparations.

When he arrived at Ping'an Fang, from a distance, Xie Hong saw a carriage parked in front of his house, and he had some impression of this carriage, which seemed to be the one sent by Dong Ping last time. When he got closer, Xie Hong was even more sure, because a fat man turned out from behind the carriage, and it was the steward Dong.

Steward Dong smiled all over his face, bowed and said, "Lord Xie is back, and the villain came to visit your mansion on the order of the head of the family." ”

Visit? This excuse is not very clever, Xie Hong shook his head and smiled: "Steward Dong, you tell me honestly, it won't be Brother Dong's problem, right?" ”

Steward Dong was taken aback, he inquired in the market when he came, and he also heard some rumors, and some sneered. felt that Xie Hong had just seen the secret technique of iron-making in the classics, which made the old man confused, but he didn't want to be broken by the Tao as soon as they met. This Lord Xie really has some way, he thought like this in his heart, and his demeanor became a little more respectful.

He smiled wryly: "The adult is wise, but the villain can't hide it, but I don't know how Lord Xie knows that my master is in trouble?" ”

Xie Hong smiled, this matter is easy to guess. Dong Ping's workaholic surname, I'm afraid I can't care about anything when I study it, let alone let people visit, even if someone visits him, I'm afraid he won't see anyone.

Since he sent someone, he either succeeded or ran into a problem. If it succeeds, Xie Hong estimates that Dong Ping will come by himself; Now it's the housekeeper who comes, so naturally he has encountered a problem. For craftsmen like himself, Xie Hong still knows a lot.

"What does Brother Dong mean?" Xie Hong did not answer the rhetorical question.

"The owner of our village wants to ask Lord Xie to move to our village, if it is convenient for adults......" Steward Dong said as he peeked at Xie Hong's face.

"It's okay for me to go, but I ...... at home" Xie Hong is also thinking in his heart, it is not bad to go to Dong's house, so the secret surname is stronger, if the plan is implemented at home, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no leakage. It's just that he can go, what about his mother and Qing'er?

"Your Excellency is worried about the old lady and the young lady, right?" Steward Dong's eyes were good, and he tentatively asked Xie Hong's heart. Seeing that Xie Hong did not object, he continued: "My lord, the old lady's sick villain has also seen similar ones, and when the elderly are sick, in addition to seeking medical advice, they also have to take care of themselves, but your mansion is ...... In this bustling city, it doesn't seem to be suitable. ”

This person is very good at talking, not saying that the Xie family is simple, but that the environment is not good, Xie Hong also heard the unfinished meaning of his words, looked at the housekeeper playfully, and said, "Then according to Steward Dong, what should I do?" ”

Seeing that he was not annoyed, Steward Dong became a little bolder, and said, "My lord, our village is located on the bank of the Sanggan River, the scenery is quiet, and it is the most suitable for the elderly to recuperate." The Master of the Village is also full of manpower, and he takes care of it more thoughtfully, so as not to let the young lady end up working hard. Besides, the Dong family also has people walking everywhere outside, and the local doctors in Xuanfu can't do it, so we will invite them from other places. ”

Although he knew the purpose of Steward Dong's words, he still moved Xie Hong, because his words were indeed orderly, whether it was the environment or manpower, Dongjiazhuang was much better than the Xie family.

What's more, Xie Hong was still a little hesitant, afraid that after retaliating against Imperial Doctor Gu, it would be difficult to find a doctor again. Listening to Steward Dong, he was also relieved, the medicine of the Ming Dynasty was still at a very high level, otherwise could there be a miracle doctor? The Dong family has a lot of money, and after asking around, it must not be difficult to find a good doctor, so as long as you get enough silver, you just need to get enough silver.

Seeing his thoughtful look, Steward Dong knew that Xie Hong was already moved, so he hurriedly beat the side drum again, and said: "My lord, Dongjiazhuang is only more than ten miles away from here, and there is no need to worry about running on the road, and the carriage brought by the villain is also very comfortable, which will definitely not make the old lady feel the slightest discomfort." ”

The last trace of hesitation in Xie Hong's heart was gone, and he nodded in response: "Then there is a housekeeper of Lao Dong, and when I get to Dongjiazhuang, I will thank Brother Dong in person." I'll go to my mother first, and ask Steward Dong to wait. ”

"It's okay, don't worry, the adults just go, the villain just waits." Steward Dong smiled like a flower, and said humbly.

The family is easy to say, Qing'er is obedient to Xie Hong, and Erniu is also obedient, although he doesn't like the Dong family very much, he has no objections. Only Xie's mother had a lot of concerns, worried about being favored by others, and was reluctant to live in her old house, and finally Xie Hong lied that the owner of Dong Zhuang was his classmate and invited him to study together, so he said that the old man was moved.

After that, Xie Hong went to Yamen to ask for leave, and Wang Zhixian heard him say that he was seeking medical treatment for his mother, but he didn't do anything to stay in trouble. Waiting for Xie Hong to tell Ma Wentao a few more words, when he finally set off, the sky was already even more gloomy, black clouds were pressing down on the city, the wind was fierce, and it looked like a rainstorm was coming.

The Sanggan River is still somewhat famous in later generations, and someone once wrote a novel named after this river, and Xie Hong's understanding of this river also ended there. Dongjiazhuang is on the bank of the river, and further south is the very famous Zhuolu Mountain, this place Xie Hong is clear, that is the place where the ancestor of China broke the Chiyou.

The carriage arranged by the Dong family was very good, although it was fast all the way, but Xie Mu and Qing'er didn't feel the slightest rush in the car, Xie Hong inquired several times, and said that it was okay, and when he arrived at Dongjiazhuang, he was even more relieved. It was darker, but fortunately it hadn't rained yet.

Dong Ping was also overjoyed when he heard that Xie Hong was coming, and as soon as the group entered the village, he greeted him. It is rare that he did not rush to ask Xie Hong for advice, but arranged a banquet for everyone to wash the dust, and arranged the manpower of the house on the other.

Since he came, Xie Hong was not pretentious and polite, except for the cost of seeking medical treatment, he accepted everything else, and only thought about making up for it slowly in the future. Dong Ping was also very happy when he saw the coolness he promised, although he was also a child of the family, he liked to go straight and did not like those red tape.

Xie Hong was so refreshing, unflinching, and his appetite was also satisfied, and this banquet was also enjoyed by the guests and hosts.

The few houses arranged by the Dong family are quite good, spacious, and the orientation is good. However, Xie Hong is strange that the rooms between him and Qing'er are arranged next to each other, but the rooms of Niang and Erniu are relatively far away, and I don't know what Steward Dong thinks.

When arranging the room, Qing'er seemed to have something to say, but in the end, she didn't say it. Xie Hong only thought that the little girl was worried about her mother, and he didn't pay too much attention to it. The Dong family sent a lot of people to take care of his mother, Xie Hong felt that there was nothing to worry about, and Qing'er should take a break every time she worked hard.

Xie Hong didn't know that Qing'er was his family's adopted daughter, and Steward Dong had already investigated it very clearly in Beizhuang County. When the housekeeper saw that Xie Hong rejected the maid sent to serve, he thought crookedly, this kind of thing was originally very common for large families, and Steward Dong naturally did the same for Xie Hong, so he made such an arrangement.

Of course, these are all details, and he didn't bother to ask, so he just went to his mother's side to ask for a goodbye, and went back to his room to tidy up the tools and prepare the materials.
