Chapter 383: Ding Sanniang
Han Ruo has already seized the time to do it again, and he thinks that he will be able to come back soon," Duan Xun estimated that there were a lot of things he bought, and he didn't think it would come too soon.
"Erya, you go back to the village now, and you will be able to put on new clothes in two days," Bai Zhi was afraid that these children would be frozen, obviously they were not very old, but they were still not warm and fed?
"Mmmm, sister, are you telling the truth? We're going to be able to put on new clothes," Erya almost jumped up when she heard this.
It's been a long time since they've bought clothes, and even their parents are wearing tattered clothes.
"My sister won't lie to you, go back quickly!" Bai Zhi patted her little shoulder, and the children were all thin.
"Erya, you're more than ten years old, right?" She opened her mouth uncertainly.
Erya nodded: "I'm fourteen years old this year!" "My father told her that when the time is right, I will find her a family business so that she can have a good home.
Thinking of this, she is happy, and when she gets married in the future, she may not have to be hungry anymore, and she can also let her father and brother have enough to eat.
Bai Zhi's heart suddenly felt sour, and at the age of fourteen, it was a good time to study.
A few children walked home happily, looking at their backs, Bai Zhi didn't feel good in her heart.
"Duan Xun, I think the children in the cottage have been delayed, they should study and learn calligraphy hard, and they will have a future in the future," Bai Zhi felt very sorry for them.
Didn't the imperial court just ignore this place?
Duan Xun just shook his head slightly: "Zhi'er, don't be stupid, as long as they don't get out of the cottage, even if they read and write, I'm afraid it won't be of much use, because they have no room for development." ”
Children watch the mountains all day long, even if they read and learn to read and write, it is not necessarily of much use, their best future is to get out of the mountains and see the outside world.
"Alas...... If you want them to go out, I'm afraid their parents won't allow it! This matter has to be considered slowly and in the long run, "The cottage is hidden in the mountains, no one comes in and few people go out."
Bai Zhi was puzzled: "Duan Xun, isn't there anyone in charge of Liuli Mountain?" Especially around the cottage, is it also a three-regardless zone? Someone should be in charge of the place so big, right? She was puzzled, the management of the junction of each place will always be scattered, but it is not like here, there is really no one to take care of it......
"Zhi'er's place was originally returned to Yibeizhou, but the previous governors couldn't recover Liuli Mountain by all their means, so they have been left alone, they have been wiped out, I think there is something strange in this," he continued to look inside the mountain, and then spoke:
"Outside Liuli Mountain, there are many villages and towns, because this side has been poor for a long time, so no matter which local officials are, they don't care if they can," just thinking about it, he was very angry, and the people were poor because of the officials' inhumanity.
The mountain bandits in Liuli Mountain are actually not strong, mainly because they grow in the mountains and forests and are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so no one has been willing to manage here for a long time.
It's just that it's not easy to recover Liuli Mountain, and then by the way, I don't even care about the surroundings of Liuli Mountain.
"So, you are the governor of Yibei this time, will you be in charge of this place in the future?" The mountain bandits in Liuli Mountain are not all bad people, if they are recruited, everyone can live a good life.
Who would want to live those lives of licking blood from the tip of a knife?
"Zhi'er, I don't know what Yibei looks like now? Because I haven't been in office for a long time, I'm afraid that new officials have arrived," which is why he is not in a hurry to take office.
Now his identity photo is a little embarrassing, and if he already has a governor in office, then what is he?
"Duan Xun, since this is the case, then you can stay by my side with peace of mind when you get up, and when I become a rich man in the future, you can also live a good life with me," Bai Zhi wants to make her business bigger, and her goal is to become the richest man in the world.
Because as long as you have money, you can do what you want to do, such as helping others.
If she was an ordinary person now, she wouldn't have been able to come up with the money to buy all the medicinal herbs in the cottage, let alone help them.
Now she is still in a position to help them, but if her business stops, it will be all her workers who will suffer.
"Zhi'er, don't think I'm so useless! Even if I am not the governor of Yibei, I am also the prince of Dingbei, the general of the imperial court, and every official is much greater than the governor! It's a pity that now he doesn't care about those names, he just wants to live a plain life with his beloved, and the two of them have always stayed together.
"Duan Xun, it's afternoon now, it's a little cold, let's go back! I don't know what kind of meal I can eat at night? "Originally, they came to the cottage, neither were captured nor invited up, after all, their identities are still a little embarrassing!
If it weren't for Si Wu's life to befriend them, I'm afraid they would have escaped by now.
"Hey, I'm in a dilemma now, the original owner was born in this cottage, even if I'm not her now, but I still have the obligation to help them, if you don't care about it, you always feel that your conscience will be condemned," Bai Zhi touched her heart, where the concern for the cottage has been trembling since she came to this place.
Is it the instinct of the body? Or is it the emotion of the original owner?
"Zhi'er, don't think so much now, we are already here, and we have no intention of sitting idly by, buying all their herbs, and now we are reinforcing their lives, so we don't owe this cottage, nor do we owe each of them," Knowing that she was starting to feel sad again, Duan Xun couldn't help but pat her.
Since coming here, Bai Zhi has felt a lot depressed, unable to find the reason and reason, and feels that it has been difficult to feel better.
"My heart was heavy all day, like pressing a stone, uncomfortably tight," she felt the cool breeze blowing from the mountains, and shivered all over.
Duan Xun took off his coat and put it on for her: "It's cool in the mountains, let's go back quickly!" What if they can't find us and think we've fled? ”
He decided to check the past in the cottage.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw an old woman sitting in the courtyard.
The two looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they could see that they didn't know this person.
"Mother-in-law, why are you here? Is it lost? Bai Zhi walked up first to say hello.
Hearing this, Ding Sanniang raised her head, and her eyes turned red in an instant: "Zhi'er! You're finally back, and I knew you'd be back......"
Ding Sanniang stood up tremblingly, still holding a cane in her hand, she wanted to get closer to observe Bai Zhi.
Because it was inconvenient to walk, it was very difficult to stand up, Bai Zhi hurriedly ran over: "Mother-in-law, you have difficulty moving, don't move!" Looking at the thin and rickety woman, she couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly ran over to help her up.
"Mother-in-law......? Oh, girl, I am a good sister with your mother, and I am also a best friend, so why do you call my mother-in-law a little older? Ding Sanniang couldn't help but shake her head, does she really look so old now?
