Chapter Thirty-Seven: Catching Turtles in an Urn

Master Dong hurriedly got up and confessed: "The little girl has been in the boudoir for a long time, and she has not seen much of the world, which is really rude." ”

Youwei said: "It's not in the way." ”

Master Dong said to Yuqin: "Don't go down quickly, change your clothes." ”

Dong Yuqin went down resignedly.

Yu Yao said: "I heard earlier that Lord Dong's mother is filial, but he is suffering from the bitter cold of Xingzhou, so he can only leave his old mother in the capital, and he can't always be filial to his bedside. ”

When Master Dong heard him take the initiative to mention it, he couldn't help but be excited in his heart, and said: "Master Ma is talking about the heart of the middle and lowly duties. The old mother in the family is getting old day by day, and she does not treat people from time to time. However, Xingzhou is an important defense town in the surrounding area, and he bears the heavy responsibility of resisting the Han and Khitan, and is ordered by the emperor to humble his position, and he feels that the burden on his shoulders is like a day by day, and he is more and more overwhelmed. ”

Yu Yao said: "Lord Dong's filial piety is clear, and he is moved to heaven, how can the emperor not know?" It's just that there is a lack of an opportunity to become an adult. ”

Dong Dadao: "Opportunity? Please also make it clear to the master of the horse. ”

Yu Yao said with a smile: "My Great Zhou established the country by force in this troubled world, and Wenzhi is secondary. Therefore, people with virtue and ability are like stainless steel and black iron, which must be used on the blade of border defense. If the officials stationed at the border gates all want to return to Beijing, wouldn't the world be in chaos? If Dong Tingshi wants to get the emperor's favor additionally, it must have conditions that others do not have. ”

Dong Dadao: "This ...... The humble also understands, but where is there such a good opportunity to stand out? Don't hide it from the eldest princess and the concubine, I wanted to serve the eldest princess for a good life, and when the eldest princess returned to Beijing, I would ask the eldest princess for a favor. But who would have thought that there would be disasters in Xingzhou City repeatedly, affecting the eldest princess and the concubine. It is really a shame to be humiliated. ”

Yu Yao smiled and said: "Master Dong, don't worry, if God has mercy, he will definitely give him another opportunity." It's just that at that time, Lord Dong will have to obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Before Yu Yao's words fell, the little servant of the Dong Mansion hurriedly came to report: "My lord, Lord Qin Chayin suddenly led people to surround the mansion, and also arrested the two people sent by the mansion to buy. ”

Master Dong got up and said, "How can this be reasonable? Didn't you tell him that it was at the behest of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? ”

The little guy replied, "The little ones said it." But Lord Yin said that he was also at the behest of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

Yu Yao said to Youwei: "Princess, it seems that the princess has to go in person, and Lord Yin is willing to let go." ”

Vicky nodded.

Yu Yao said to Dong Xuan: "Don't be impatient, Lord Dong, let's go together to see what happened." ”

Master Dong had to say: "The eldest princess, please, Yu Concubine, please." ”

Then he said to the little guy: "Lead the way ahead." Which door is Lord Yin now? ”

The little girl said as he walked: "It's the small door that delivers food on weekdays." ”

Yu Yao asked, "You just said that you took two people?" ”

The little servant said: "If you go back to the horse master, it is indeed two people. Because the eldest princess and the concubine wanted to stay in the mansion for dinner, the lady specially sent one more person out. ”

Yu Yao said: "Lord Dong, since it involves the trivial matters of the purchase of the inner house, I have to bother Mrs. Dong to come out to distinguish it for the people." ”

Dong Dadao: "What Master Ma said is true. Then he said to the chief entourage beside him: "Go and invite Mrs. to come." ”

Soon, the group walked to the small gate of Dong's mansion.

When Yin Tianshu and the others saw Youwei and Yu Yao arriving, they knelt down and saluted.

Youwei said, "Get up and talk." ”

Xi'er and Mi'er's two daughters stepped forward and said, "The slave and maid knock to see the eldest princess and the concubine. ”

Yu Yao said: "Okay, I'll make the decision for the princess and leave you behind." ”

Xi'er and Ha'er smiled happily, and they couldn't help but thank them again and again.

Dong Xuan said to Yin Tianshu: "Lord Yin, the next person who was purchased was sent out by my wife according to the will of the eldest princess, and I also asked Lord Yin to make it convenient." ”

Before Yin Tianshu could reply, Yu Yao interjected: "Don't worry, Lord Dong, this matter must be carefully discerned." With the eldest princess here, are you afraid that no one will make the decision for you? I wonder if Mrs. Dong is here? ”

The subordinates made a way, and Mrs. Dong approached and saluted.

Yu Yao said: "Mrs. Dong, please take a look at these two little guys who went out to buy, but did you just send them out?" ”

Yin Tianshu's subordinates also consciously moved out of the way, and Mrs. Dong approached slightly, looked at it, and said: "If you go back to Master Ma, these two people have never seen each other, not only are they not the people sent to buy, but they also don't seem to be from Dong's mansion at all. ”

Yu Yao smiled: "That's right." ”

Dong Xuan was confused and said, "Where did you two come from?" How could it be here? ”

Yu Yao said: "Since they are not the people sent by Mrs. Dong to buy, then it is reasonable for Lord Yin to take down the two of them, and neither Lord Dong nor Lord Yin is against the will of the eldest princess." ”

Youwei already understood a little in her heart, and said to Xi'er and Hao'er: "You go and wipe the black oil off their faces and change them back to their original faces." ”

Lord Dong said: "The nobles under Princess He Lao personally took action? Come! ”

Yu Yao stopped him and said, "Lord Dong, slow down, let's listen to the orders of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”

Youwei said: "What the horse said is that the palace has its own reason for arranging it this way, but I'm afraid that Lord Dong will be grateful to the palace later." Xi'er, Hazy'er, be polite and careful, but also be careful with yourselves. ”

Xi'er and Ha'er walked up to the two and gently wiped their cheeks with a water-soaked muslin cloth.

Everyone was staring closely.

In a few moments, two delicate and incomparable faces were displayed in front of people.

Mrs. Dong exclaimed, "Qin'er! ”

Master Dong also said: "You, how can you be here?" ”

Youwei said: "Lord Yin, Second Miss Dong is an official family member anyway, let's let her go first." ”

Yin Tianshu's subordinates immediately let go.

Yu Yao made a color to Xi'er and Hao'er, and the two of them understood, standing behind Dong Yuqin on the left and right.

Youwei said: "Second Miss Dong, the Japanese palace promised you not to publicize the matter of telling the palace in private, but if you take a risk today, it is no wonder that the palace." ”

Dong Yuqin was silent, and the Dong couple were so anxious that their hearts were like frying in oil.

Yu Yao smiled and said, "Lord Dong, Mrs. Dong don't be impatient. ”

After that, he pointed to the person next to Dong Yuqin and said to Yin Tianshu: "Lord Yin, this is the survivor of the case of Yin Annihilation of Zhongli Mansion, Zhong Lizhong, the little guy who led the horse from Zhong Li's family, Zhong Lizhong!" The beginning and end of Zhongli Mansion Yin's annihilation, I'm afraid that no one knows better than him. ”

Yin Tianshu said: "Thank you for your guidance, here, locked!" ”

Several people swarmed up, and Zhongli Zhong was immediately tied up by the five flowers.

Youwei said: "Donkey, that day the second girl Dong said that Zhong Lizhong lost his mind, and he looked stupid, but now looking at his expression, it is very different from that day. ”

Yu Yao said: "The princess is kind-hearted, so she naturally has mercy on the weak. Seeing that he had been frightened to the point of madness, he naturally would not delve further. But there are many ruthless people in the world, who use the princess's kindness to escape responsibility. ”

Dong Yuqin said: "Today we fall into your hands, if you want to kill, let's kill!" ”

Mrs. Dong cried: "Qin'er, what nonsense are you talking about? ”

After that, he knelt down to Youwei and Yu Yao, and said: "Eldest princess, master concubine, my daughter has always been docile and respectful, but she must have been bewitched by a traitor to mix with this Zhong Lizhong, and begged the eldest princess and the concubine to open up!" ”

Yu Yao said: "Lord Dong, let's help Mrs. up first." The eldest princess is here, and the emperor's minister, Lord Yin, is also here. ”

Dong Xuan helped Mrs. Dong up and said, "Master Ma is right. Come, send the lady back to the room. ”

Mrs. Dong threw herself at the feet of Lord Dong and shouted, "My lord, save our daughter, we only have this one daughter!" ”

Dong Xuan said expressionlessly: "Come on!" Do you want to eat the board? ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the subordinates had to drag Mrs. Dong down with all hands and feet.

It's not that Lord Dong doesn't feel sorry for Dong Yuqin, the only daughter, but he already understands the intention of Fang Cai Yu Yao's words to him about "conforming to the destiny of heaven".

If you don't kill your relatives righteously, it may be difficult to move the Sacred Heart.

It's just that sacrificing one's daughter and fulfilling filial piety should be done or not?
