Chapter 43: The Duan Family

"Lao Hu, where is my savior?"

The lady was helped out of the carriage by Xiao Tao and the coachman, looked around suspiciously, and asked the coachman.

"Madam, it was this girl who lifted the carriage on the edge of the cliff and saved Madame."

The coachman Lao Hu hurriedly pointed to Deng Yueru, who was standing aside, and explained in the suspicious eyes of his wife. In fact, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a thin and petite woman would have so much strength.

"Well, the girl is really a heroine among women, with divine powers. In the Xia Li family, the husband's surname is Duan, and he thanked the woman for saving her life. ”

When Mrs. Li knew that it was a very young and delicate girl who saved her, she was also shocked.

If she hadn't grown up in a scholarly family since she was a child, and her family education etiquette was excellent, I am afraid that she would be like Xiao Tao, and she would have opened her mouth wide in shock and didn't know it.

"Madame is polite, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and it is human nature to rescue people when they are in danger."

Deng Yueru smiled and said to Mrs. Li, Deng Yueru's first impression of this gentle and polite Mrs. Li was not bad.

"I don't know the name of the heroine yet, and come with me to the house to sit down, I must thank the heroine well."

The more Mrs. Li looked at Deng Yueru, the more she liked it, not to mention her delicate appearance, she seemed to have read books, and she was born with divine power, she was simply a strange woman who was rare in the world, and her good feelings soared.

"My name is Deng Yueru, just call me Yueru by my wife, I still have something to go to Fuyun Town, so I'll take the first step."

Deng Yueru was worried about going to Duan Yu to discuss the matter of buying grain, so she didn't care about Mrs. Li's so-called thanks, she just wanted to hurry to Fuyun Town.

"Madam, our horse has run away, how can we get back to town now?" Why don't you and Xiao Tao wait here for a while, and I'll go back to the house and catch another carriage to pick up Madame." ”

Lao Hu took advantage of the fact that Mrs. Li and Deng Yueru were talking, and had already checked the carriage and found that the body was undamaged, that is, there was no horse. If there is no horse, the carriage will become a waste, and Lao Hu didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only ask Mrs. Li.

"Lao Hu, this mountain cliff is deserted, it's not safe to leave Mrs. here."

Xiao Tao turned his head and looked around, and found that there was no shop in front of the village and no shop in front of the village, there was a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other, and it was said that there were bandits on this Luoyun Mountain. After thinking about it, Xiao Tao shrank her neck in fright, and hurriedly tightened Mrs. Li's sleeves.

"I wonder where Mrs. Li is going?"

Deng Yueru had just taken the reins of the horse handed over by Shuangxi, and she heard the conversation between Lao Hu and Xiao Tao, and asked Mrs. Li after thinking for a while.

"We are going back to Fuyun Town, Mrs. went to the temple yesterday to offer incense and spend the night, and today we are going back to our home in Fuyun Town."

Xiao Tao felt that Deng Yueru had saved their lives, so she must not be a bad person, so she spoke.

"It just so happens that we're going to Fuyun Town too, so let's use our horses to pull the carriage first, and let's go together."

After thinking for a while, Deng Yueru motioned to Shuangxi to lead her horse over and handed it to the coachman Lao Hu.

"Hey, that's good. Madame, I have checked that the carriage is not damaged, and when I have set the horses in place, we may set off. ”

Lao Hu took the reins of the horse, and immediately showed joy, and he hurriedly led the horse to the carriage. Although the reins on the carriage were broken, fortunately nothing else was broken, and there was a spare one on the reins of the carriage.

"Miss Yueru, thank you so much."

Mrs. Li looked at Deng Yueru with a smile on her face, although she encountered an accident today, she was in danger. After saving her life by Deng Yueru, and now she has to trouble Deng Yueru to lend horses, Mrs. Li's gratitude to Deng Yueru is more and more overflowing.

"Madame, you can get into the carriage. Rest assured, I've checked it all and there's no problem. ”

Lao Hu's movements were fast, and it didn't take long to put the carriage in place.

"Okay, go back to Duanfu as soon as possible. Miss Yueru, go home with me this time, don't refuse my thanks again. ”

Smiling at Deng Yueru, Mrs. Li was helped into the carriage by Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao immediately followed into the carriage.

Deng Yueru turned over on the horse, stretched out her hand and pulled Shuangxi's arm, pulled it behind her and sat down, and the two rode together and followed the carriage towards Fuyun Town.

"Hey, miss, I remember that the only family surnamed Duan in Fuyun Town is Duan Yugongzi. Just now, Mrs. Li said that her husband's family name is Duan, does she have anything to do with Duan Yugongzi? ”

Sitting behind Deng Yueru, Shuangxi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly pulled Deng Yueru's clothes.

"Are you saying that there is only Duan Yu's family in Fuyun Town? In this way, looking at the age and appearance of this Mrs. Li, is it Duan Yu's mother? ”

Deng Yueru looked at the carriage in front of her and pondered.

If this Mrs. Li is really Duan Yu's mother-in-law, then this time she can be described as an unexpected gain. With her saving Mrs. Li, it is estimated that the matter of buying food this time will be smoother.

Everyone was in a hurry, and they didn't talk much along the way. Deng Yueru rode a horse and followed the carriage, and after entering Fuyun Town, she turned a few streets and came to a large manor.

Following Mrs. Li into the manor, Deng Yueru found that this manor was really big, and there were probably four courtyards before and after. The water pavilion promenade and rockery pond in the courtyard are beautiful.

At this time, it is summer, and the flowers in the courtyard are very bright and bright, a scene of Jiangnan water town. Looking at this manor, Deng Yueru can be sure that this family is definitely not ordinary.

Deng Yueru had previously protected a wealthy man, who had a mountain villa in the south of the Yangtze River, and the pavilions were magnificent. However, the traces of those artificially carved landscapes are too heavy, and compared with the manor in front of them now, they are inferior to the aura.

"Miss Yueru, please go to the living room for tea first, let me go and change my clothes and make up first."

Mrs. Li politely greeted Deng Yueru and signaled the housekeeper to take care of Deng Yueru, and then Xiao Tao helped her back to the back house.

"Miss Deng, please go to the living room to rest first."

The housekeeper politely raised his hand and asked Deng Yueru to follow him into the living room. Deng Yueru withdrew her gaze from the manor, smiled and nodded at the housekeeper, and walked into the living room.

As soon as she sat down, a little girl was serving tea and snacks on the side.

"Miss, I always knew that the Duan family was very rich, but I didn't expect their family to be so big and magnificent!"

Shuangxi stood behind Deng Yueru and watched Yahuan walk out of the living room, only then did she sigh softly in Deng Yueru's ear.

"Okay, it doesn't matter to us whether their family has money or strength, what I care about is whether I can negotiate with them to buy food."

Deng Yueru vaguely looked around and found that there were no subordinates guarding this living room, which showed that there was nothing important in this living room, and it could be that the Duan family thought she was an ordinary person, so there was no defense.
