Her surname is Dong, and she is not a scholarly lady, she generally has no name, and she should have been called Dong Da Niang or Dong Erniang or something like that. But because there is a small butterfly-shaped red birthmark on her left cheekbone, her parents and neighbors called her butterfly when she was a child. The birthmark on her face is not big, nor is it very ugly, the big black spot during the day is naturally smeared by herself, and her hands are pretended to be unobedient, just to win the sympathy of the officials in order to make a living.

Bao Cheng originally thought that she had returned to her "home", but when she returned to the courtyard where she lived in many households, she asked a few people, and they all said that she had not seen Dong. He walked to the door of his house, saw that the door was still locked, and when he touched the key, he still had it, and said in his heart that she really hadn't come back.

So Bao Cheng opened the door and moved the big knife and other things inside. As soon as he entered, he felt comfortable in the tidy room, the old tables, beds and other things were spotless, and everything was in order, which was like the dirty situation in the yard.

At this time, Bao Cheng said sincerely, it is still good to say that Die'er is a housekeeper. He dropped the things in his hand, and saw a stack of clothes on a Hu bed at the door of his bedroom, as if she had hurriedly put it in and put it there in the morning, Bao Cheng suddenly felt a little sour in his heart, picked it up and smelled it, and there was a fragrance of soap.

My stomach was throbbing, but I couldn't smell the smoke of cooking.

I have to get her back first, Bao Cheng said sincerely, even for the sake of fellow villagers and villages, he can't leave people in Luoyang City like this. With that, he got up, locked the door, and went out. I heard that Zhenguan will not need to lock the door, but now it has to be locked, otherwise things of value and worthlessness will easily disappear.

Most of the men in Bao Cheng's hometown, Baojia Village, have the same surname, and it stands to reason that he has to call Dong's husband and brother, so Dong is his sister-in-law. After arriving in Luoyang, he was able to abide by the etiquette and did not do anything contrary to the norm, this lonely man and widow is really not easy, for no other reason, just because Bao Cheng was afraid of touching her and causing a bloody disaster.

This woman is the "White Tiger"! It was passed on by her mother-in-law's family, such a woman is ominous, and she will be unlucky when she touches it. Bao Cheng was also skeptical before, what the old man said still made some sense, after all, if he didn't listen to the old man, he would suffer in front of him. Later, he completely believed it, which was really mysterious: less than half a year after Dong married in Baojia Village, her husband lost a clean game in a casino in Luoyang City, and ran away with a lot of debt. To say that the brothers of the Bao family have always been good bets, but they are all small bets, they have never won more and lost less, and they have not lost much, this time it is really a ghost.

Her husband ran away, the family was not at peace, and Dong's treatment can be imagined, she had been in trouble with the two families about divorce before she ran out. The in-laws want to divorce her, but there is no legitimate reason, and the divorce of the wife requires reasons such as not being able to have children, not abiding by women's morals, etc., and cannot be divorced just because they are white tigers; After discussion, the mother's family agreed, but asked for a large amount of compensation. It's a nuisance.

Bao Cheng thought as he walked, all the land in his family had been annexed, and he would either continue to run the rivers and lakes in the future, or be a dependent person, and he would have no status for the rest of his life...... In the long run, if you win the merits such as opening the border, it is not impossible to soar, Xue Rengui and other cattle are the heroes in his heart, and the marquis is worshipped, and the reputation is spread all over the world!

…… Dong's woman, she came to Luoyang by herself, and she has taken care of her for so long to fulfill the friendship of her fellow villagers, but fortunately she didn't touch her, otherwise she would not be able to talk about it. Bao Cheng pondered: It's better to send her home, it's better to go back to her parents' house, what hope does a woman have when she is floating outside? Besides, I have to do business, and I don't have time to take care of her.

Anyway, I have to find her, persuade her to go back, and give her some money to bring back. And Bao Cheng still has a hidden worry in his heart, this kind of hoodoo is by his side, not to mention the marquis and the prime minister, it is not certain whether he will be unlucky enough to encounter the disaster of blood and light.

……

Bao Cheng went home first and then came out, and the time was delayed for a while, but Sanniang found the Dong family first. After dark, the rain was heavier again, and Dong was drenched all over, standing under the eaves of a house shivering with cold.

Sanniang walked in front of her with an umbrella, only to see that the black spots on her face had been drenched off by the rain, her hair was stained on her forehead, and her face was a little poignant, and her goose-egg-shaped face was not ugly.

Dong Shi saw that someone walked in front of him and stopped, he was a little scared, and couldn't help but look at the oil-paper umbrella in a daze, holding his hands in front of his chest, and his face was very pale.

At this time, Sanniang lifted the umbrella up, revealing a cold face. Dong's heart was cold, and then he remembered that she was the person next to the official when he was late. If it were other guards, Dong probably wouldn't be able to remember it, but Sanniang was really special.

"Do you recognize me? Come with me, I'm a person in the government, not a bad person. Sanniang said lightly.

Dong shook his head.

Sanniang pondered for a moment, as if pondering Dong's thoughts, and then said: "You don't have to be prejudiced against us, Bao Zhuangshi has long skills, even if he doesn't meet our Langjun, one day he will have the opportunity to find a way...... What doesn't belong to you, you can't keep it. ”

Dong listened to Sanniang's polite and considerate words, and finally spoke: "I'll wait first, otherwise he won't be able to find someone for a while." ”

"Are you so sure he's coming for you?" Sanniang said.

Dong said lukewarmly: "We are all from Baojia Village, the villagers, he will not leave me alone, otherwise he would not have taken me in at the beginning...... I think he'll ask someone to take me home. ”

Sanniang smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's it, it's not bad to have a home back." ”

Dong's voice choked up: "I don't want to go home, I don't want to go back on either side, it's harder to go back than to die, but I can't do it to die...... The water droplets on her face don't know whether it's tears or rain.

Sanniang was silent for a long time and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"I have to go home, otherwise what else can I do...... I shouldn't have run out in the first place. ”

Sanniang said indifferently: "It's really not so easy to survive on your own outside, even if you are a slave, a rich family will not want someone with an unknown background and unknown character." ”

At this moment, I saw a tall person as tall as a mountain on the street walking towards this side, and Dong's face first showed surprise, and then it dimmed. Sanniang saw her look, and when she looked back, she saw Bao Cheng walking over here.

It was late and raining, and the long street was very scarce, but there were still lanterns hanging on the classical wooden building, and the light was not too gloomy. Bao Cheng walked for a while and found the Dong family under the eaves.

He walked over, glanced at Sanniang, hugged his fists and said, "Are you ......?"

Sanniang said: "I am from Xue Lang's family, and I was Xue Lang who first learned martial arts with you on Fuqian Street. ”

"Oh, I'm glad I will." Bao Cheng smiled heartily, then glanced at Dong, suppressed his smile and said, "Go back first, and then talk about it." ”

Dong didn't say anything, walked out with his head down, and then Sanniang took the umbrella and covered her head. Seeing this, Dong's face warmed and thanked him.

Bao Cheng said: "I don't know what to call you? Sanniang said: "I'm a woman, not an official, just call me Sanniang." ”

Bao Cheng snorted, and he wondered that Xue Lang's people came here to find the Dong family. He used to work in the Zhichong Mansion, although there are not as many twists and turns as civil officials, but there are still many rules and exquisiteness, especially when he was at the wine table before, he understood that the rules of military generals were no less than those of literati. So Bao Cheng also thought about Sanniang's coming, could it be that Xue Lang wanted to test my character?

So, Sanniang didn't ask about the identity of the Dong family or anything, Bao Cheng said first: "Our martial arts people, like my name, pay attention to one sincerity and one loyalty!" I will never say anything in front of Xue Lang, Die'er...... It's just that she is really not my insider, and if you ask her, you will know that I have always treated each other with courtesy for months. ”

"Hmm......" Sanniang replied casually and quietly.

Bao Cheng said again: "Her family Langjun is also surnamed Bao, even if I am a beast, how can I have crooked thoughts?" At the beginning, I wanted to send her home, after all, I should do it as a brother, but she didn't want to, and I was forced to make a living, so the matter dragged on for a while. I'm going to send her home this time. ”

Sanniang said lightly: "Bao Zhuangshi is polite and courteous, I admire it very much." ”

At this time, Dong said pitifully: "Bao Lang, don't call me sister-in-law, my husband and you are not relatives...... In the future, if you become an official, you will treat me as a slave and maid, and I don't want to go back......"

Bao Cheng was stunned and said, "What are you talking about?" How can I treat my brother's wife as a slave and a maidservant, what do you think of me, have I ever been rude these days? ”

Dong cried: "You are just afraid that I will betray your luck and affect your official luck!" Don't admit it, you can't fool me with what you think in your heart! ”

Bao Cheng said angrily: "What an unreasonable person! I treat you with courtesy, and you speak like that! If you turn your back on your in-laws and parents and run away alone, is it the way of humanity? ”

Dong's love was out of control, and he said loudly: "What reason! Do you know what kind of life I have at home? I cook for you, do your laundry, and help you earn money these days, and you don't have any affection in your heart? ”

At this time, Sanniang lightly hugged her fists and said: "Bao Zhuangshi, take the liberty of asking, what is going on in Sister-in-law Dong's house?" ”

Dong glared at Bao Cheng and said, "If you want me to lose face in front of everyone, you just say it!" ”

"Then I didn't ask." Sanniang said.

Bao Cheng sighed: "Actually, it's no wonder that she, our family's affairs, we are outsiders after all, and we can't control a lot...... It's not that I don't have affection, I really can't continue to keep you by my side, otherwise what will the folks say about my Bao Cheng's conduct? ”

Dong sneered: "When you were down, did you ever care about other people's evaluations? ”

The three of them walked to the street together, and the other two guards in long shirts also came over, glanced at Dong, and said, "We searched a few streets separately, and it turned out that Sanniang had already found someone." ”

"Now that Bao Zhuangshi has found someone, there is nothing to do with us, so I will leave, and I have to go back to restore my life." Sanniang hugged her fists and said, "Ming's diary got the head of the household." ”

Bao Cheng replied: "Okay, then I won't send it far away, we'll see you early tomorrow morning." ”

At this moment, Dong suddenly said, "You were ordered by Xue Minggong to come to me?" What do you want me to do? ”
