Chapter 257: Parting

Bai Xing hasn't been seen since that night.

Cai Wei didn't know how the county master could deal with him, anyway, he was the father of his concubine, and he could be regarded as an old man.

Entering Bai Xing's house, Cai Wei stood at the gate and shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”

The door of the hall opened, but Bai Xing's mother-in-law hurriedly ran out, and she hadn't seen her for some days, and the original fair-skinned and plump mother-in-law became like a withered face and looked like an old woman.

Cai Wei was taken aback, I don't know what happened to this mother-in-law?

As soon as Mrs. Bai Xing saw that it was her, her body shrank back, and a pair of slender Danfeng eyes that were extremely similar to lotus flowers suddenly widened, "Big, big niece, you, why are you here?" ”

He didn't speak as neatly and stammered as he used to.

Cai Wei was stunned, this mother-in-law usually looks arrogant, and she doesn't take the villagers in her eyes at all, what's wrong? Seeing her is like avoiding cats and mice.

"Auntie, is Uncle at home?" She has a lot of things to do, and she doesn't have time to chat with Lotus and her mother, she just wants to hurry up and find Bai Xing to do business.

"Oh, your uncle, he, he's lying on the kang." Lotus was extremely unnatural, and looking at Cai Wei's eyes was also dodgy, which made Cai Wei very puzzled.

"Uncle, is this sick?" Cai Wei asked casually, and walked towards the hall.

"No, oh, yes, it's sick." Lotus was a little incoherent.

Cai Wei glanced at her puzzled, and entered the hall in a few steps.

There was a big kang under the window, Bai Xing was really lying on it, humming, covered with a thick quilt, and a white cloth was wrapped around his forehead, and there was faint blood on his head.

Cai Wei suddenly realized, dare to love This is not a disease, was she beaten by the county master?

But looking at the appearance that he can't get off the kang, he was beaten quite badly.

The county master is also inhumane, but this is also his father-in-law, why is he so ruthless?

No wonder his mother-in-law cowered a little when she saw her, I think now I know that she is a person from His Royal Highness Chengwang, right?

But she can't be blamed for this, who let Bai Xing's heart skills be bad, and his daughter always wants to come up with ideas to rectify her.

"Uncle, it doesn't matter to you, right?" Cai Wei sat on a chair in the hall very happily, glanced at Bai Xing, and asked casually.

"You, why are you here?" Bai Xing, who was humming and chirping, heard the question, and saw that it was Cai Wei on one side, and his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Why can't I come?" Cai Wei looked at Bai Xing with her arms folded for a long time, her leisurely appearance was quite Lu Ying's demeanor.

Bai Xing only felt that the wound on his forehead was so painful that he jumped and jumped, and the fire was burning, almost making him not wail.

"No, no, what's the eldest niece doing?" Bai Xing's painting style changed, as if he had changed people, trying to make his face full of smiles, and drinking the stunned mother-in-law on the side, "Don't you serve tea to your eldest niece?" ”

His mother-in-law Mu Mu agreed in a daze, and walked outside, but was stopped by Cai Wei waving her hand, "That's it, I'm here to discuss with my uncle on business." ”

Bai Xing hurriedly asked with a smile, "Big niece, what's the matter?" As long as Uncle can do it, he will do it. ”

This tone is the same as Cai Wei is the Li Zheng of Lijia Village.

Cai Wei secretly suppressed the discomfort in her heart and told her about the heavy rain that had washed down the house in the past few days.

At the end, she looked at Bai Xing and said solemnly, "Uncle, don't blame me for being nosy, after all, if everyone is in the neighborhood, it will be regarded as a good deed." It's up to you to set up a porridge shed in the village and clean up a few more houses to house those who are homeless. ”

Bai Xing deeply agreed with Cai Wei's words, "The eldest niece is really Guanyin's mother, she is merciful and compassionate, and she will definitely be rewarded." ”

Cai Wei smiled noncommittally, thinking about how an iron rooster like Bai Xing could talk so well? Was she afraid of being beaten, or was she afraid of her identity as a person who became His Royal Highness?

But before she could figure it out, she heard Bai Xing complain bitterly, "The eldest niece has a very good method, but there is no extra food in the village at present, and there are only rations left at home." There are two vacant houses in my house. Since the girl proposed, it is better for the eldest niece to think of a way. ”

Seeing Cai Wei's eyes sweeping over, Bai Xing made a bitter face, and almost cried, "Uncle knows that the eldest niece is capable and intelligent, and he will definitely come up with a proper solution." You see Uncle can't move, and he can't run around on this rainy day......"

Talking about going around and around, I still want to shirk responsibility.

Cai Wei can be regarded as seeing through, whether it is now or before, no matter how many times she has been beaten, the dog can't change its eating, and her greedy and irresponsible nature has not changed at all.

She didn't expect Bai Xing to come out, so she simply got up and left.

The words do not agree with each other for more than half a sentence.

Without Bai Xing, she doesn't believe that this porridge shed can't be set up, and the room can't be found?

When she returned home, Cai Wei took out her savings, but it was only more than three hundred taels of silver.

Anyway, I'm going to enter Beijing, and no one can say whether it's a blessing or a curse.

If it is a blessing, she will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and she doesn't care about that.

Woe to her, she may be given death, and in that case, she may wear it back.

As for the house, although she was reluctant, she designed it by herself, and she didn't live in it for long.

But these are all things outside the body, life does not bring death and does not take away, how can you keep it?

She called Chen Yong and asked him to take the silver and go to the grain store in the town to exchange all the grain.

He also brought a message to Li Ruzhou, asking him to set up a porridge shack as well. With the financial resources of the Li family, it can still be done.

So on the second day, the villagers saw that Cai Wei took a young man, set up a shed at the head of the village, built an earthen stove, sat on a big pot, and boiled porridge.

Everyone in the nearby towns heard about it, and those who had no overnight food at home and smashed the house came to help the old and the young.

Cai Wei is solid, the amount of rice in the porridge is very sufficient, and the porridge that is boiled out will not fall down with chopsticks.

For three days in a row, she gave porridge at the entrance of the village every day, and called several villagers whose houses had collapsed, such as Dakui's daughter-in-law, to live in her house, and this good name spread for a while.

Zhao Yu soon heard about it, and couldn't help but chuckle at Wang Dangtou beside him, "She is giving up her wealth, is this with the mentality of breaking the kettle?" ”

Wang Darttou hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Highness, don't say it, this girl is really a strange woman!" ”

"Well, it's a pity that this king didn't meet her earlier, and let Lu Laojiu take the lead." Zhao Yu rubbed his eyebrows and smiled a little gloomy.

On the fourth day, Zhao Yu suddenly led people to deliver food in the rain, and the two big carts were full, all of which were fanned with oil paper, and there was no water at all.

At this moment, Bai Xing couldn't lie down, hurriedly dressed up and came out in the rain, came to the village, and knelt in front of Zhao Yu's car with his family, looking grateful to Dade.

"Lord Wang, Xiaomin thanks the great kindness of the prince for the people of the whole village, and is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life, and to repay the great kindness of the prince by making a grass ring!"

When the rest of the villagers saw that Li Zheng was kneeling, they naturally knelt in the rain as well.

Cai Wei was boiling porridge with Dakui's daughter-in-law in the porridge shed, and when she saw Bai Xing's posture, she couldn't help but sneer. This person doesn't want to take responsibility at all, he doesn't want to take food out at all, and he prefers to curry favor in front of big people to show loyalty?

Do you want to be a cow and a horse in the next life, and make grass rings?

Who are you coaxing?

She angrily pounded the bottom of the pot with a spoon, pretending not to see King Cheng's car.

Dakui's daughter-in-law tugged at her sleeve and made her kneel, but Cai Wei didn't listen.

The wet floor was covered with mud, but it was a pity that she only put on this jacket.

"If you pound it again, this pot will leak." Zhao Yu stepped off the frame with a smile and stood under Cai Wei's porridge shed, joking.

"My own pot, what's the matter?" She is angry in her heart, and she doesn't have a good face for this prince of Raush.

Anyway, he is also a despicable and shameless villain, and he caught Widow Mu and wanted to coerce her into Beijing to treat the thirteenth son of the emperor.

She was of some use to him at the moment, and he was sure he would not blame her. With such an opportunity, she was too lazy to be subservient.

Zhao Yu was not annoyed, stepped forward and snatched the long-handled wooden spoon in her hand, and muttered while stirring the porridge with flowers in the pot, "You are a weak woman, if you have to do what men do, aren't you afraid of being tired?" ”

"Who made you men blind and see nothing?" Cai Wei took advantage of the leisure with her arms crossed, and simply sat on the pony on the side to rest.

"Isn't this king here to send food?" Zhao Yu was scolded by her so much that he was a little weak-hearted, this was his fiefdom, and there was a disaster in the fiefdom, he was not the first to come, but he still listened to her kindness.

Cai Wei glanced at the tall and slender man, and saw that he was holding a wooden spoon and subconsciously stirring there, which was a little ridiculous.

He is a dignified prince, and he probably never does these jobs on weekdays, right?

"Don't you think that I am a weak woman who comes forward and damages your prince's face?" Cai Wei figured out her own ending, and she spoke to Zhao Yu very casually, just like a man with an ordinary identity.

Zhao Yu liked this tone very much, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman who was sitting on the pony and leisurely arguing with him, and the corners of his lips outlined a smile that was not disguised, "Dare to love this king is such a small person in your heart?" ”

Cai Wei was about to answer "not really", but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again.

No matter what, he is the prince, although he kidnapped her and Widow Mu several times, in the end he didn't care much about them.

She was also afraid that she would offend him by saying too much, so she asked him to transfer his hatred to Widow Mu, and after she entered Beijing, he would secretly harm Widow Mu.

Yes, she resisted the urge to continue, turned her face away, and looked at the drizzle.

After the porridge, Zhao Yu had to go to Cai Wei's house to have a look, and he said that he would visit the villagers who were affected by the disaster.

Cai Wei had no choice but to take him with him.

Zhao Yu just took a look at the victims, and went straight into the Cai Wei house.

He looked inside from the outside, and then from the inside to the outside, and the amazement in his eyes was incomprehensible, "Miss Mu is really a talent, ingenuity, even the residence is so different, no wonder ......"

When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again.

No wonder Lu Laojiu likes it, he doesn't want to say this.

Cai Wei glanced at him, and didn't know why he said half of it.

She really couldn't understand why this man was so interested in a woman's boudoir, and she watched it several times in a row, and she couldn't get enough of it.

As a prince, she doesn't believe that he hasn't seen a woman or a person's boudoir?

But now she was in no mood to argue with him, after all, there were still a lot of victims outside.

Out of her house, Zhao Yu stood under the porch, only feeling a chill to the bones, but there was no rain on her body, and she couldn't help but look back and smile at Cai Wei, "When you enter Beijing, you have to bother the girl to renovate the king's palace." ”

Cai Wei raised her eyebrows, but did not say anything.

She didn't know if she had the life to renovate his palace!

With King Cheng's intervention, Cai Wei was happy and leisurely, and the matter of relieving the villagers was naturally not under her control.

Zhao Yu sent a message after a few days, saying that he had received an edict from the emperor and ordered him to bring people into Beijing immediately.

So, the day of departure came early on a rainy morning.

Early in the morning, Cai Wei got up and packed up, bringing only two packages with her. One was filled with a change of clothes, and the other was filled with bottles and jars of cosmetics and various pills and powders.

Before leaving, she had already asked Chen Yong to leave first. But Chen Yong obeyed Lu Ying's order, but he refused to go first, or Cai Wei said that he would let him report to Lu Ying, so he sent two brothers on the road, and he still took the other seven people to follow Cai Wei.

Li Ruzhou was also informed in advance, and in order not to drag down the Li family, she naturally would not go to recognize Mrs. Li.

In this way, she got into the carriage sent by King Cheng at the door, and went to the dock of Momoyamaji, where she took a boat and traveled by water, all the way north along the Grand Canal, and in less than a month, she could reach Kyoto.

I don't know who leaked the news, and before I left the village, the carriage was stopped by the villagers who drove it out to see him off.

They came out in the rain one by one, with their children and daughters, with tears in their eyes, although they didn't say anything, their silent eyes expressed a deep reluctance.

Dakui's daughter-in-law held the child in her arms, and several young women, holding eggs, dates and some dry food cakes in their hands, stuffed them into her car.

Dakui's daughter-in-law cried so much that she couldn't speak, "Cai Wei, you go, I don't know when I will be able to come back, this is our little heart, let's take it with you on the way." ”

The neighbors, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Wang, also caught up, carrying a basket in their hands, and handed it to Cai Wei, "Child, this is a little dry meat that we have sunburned, don't lack yourself on the road." ”

Cai Wei wanted to laugh, along the way, could she still be without her food after King Cheng?

It's just that she can't laugh at all, her throat is like a bone in it, and she can't say a word. Inadvertently, her tears were already streaming down her face.

Before she knew it, she had lived in this inconspicuous mountain village for four or five months.

Although the conditions are very difficult and the days are difficult, in the end, the send-off of this group of simple villagers made her really feel what is simple and what is true love!

She stretched out her hand and returned all these things, "It's not easy for everyone, so let's leave this food to you." I followed the prince, and I couldn't eat enough. I have received your heart. If I'm still alive, I'll be back one day. ”

At this, she choked up and could no longer speak, so she hurriedly turned her face away, lowered the curtain, and ordered the coachman to catch the car.

"Cai Wei, Cai Wei, good people have good rewards, you must come back."

"If King Cheng harms you, the people of our whole village will sue the emperor for smashing pots and selling iron."

Cai Wei leaned against the wall of the carriage, tears streaming down her face wantonly.

In any case, with their words, it is not in vain that she came here to walk on a journey.

The carriage moved slowly, and the sound behind it was drowned out by the sound of rain.

Looking back, there was only a small black dot behind him, and soon, even the black dot was gone.

Along the way, she was in a low mood, leaning against the wall of the carriage, and her mind was full of vivid faces.

Unexpectedly, in the past few months, those villagers have been engraved in her heart.

Just like that, I was in a trance all the way to the market town of Momoyama.

The street is still the same as before, but it is raining, and there are fewer vendors and pedestrians coming and going. Because the locust plague is followed by a long rainy period, the shops on the first street and two rows are also closed with their doors closed, and few pedestrians travel.

She didn't stop at the Death Pavilion, after all, she didn't know how long the future was, so she still didn't want to worry about the Li family, who had finally settled down in this town.

When I arrived at the dock, I had just gotten out of the car, and suddenly I heard footsteps coming in a hurry behind me, accompanied by the sound of panting like a cow.

Cai Wei looked back, but saw a tall figure, wearing a collared robe and a hat, rushing towards her from the rain and mist.

Before he could get close, he was stopped by the Jinyi Guard and King Cheng's guards.

The bright sword blocked the man's footsteps and made the man raise his head.

Cai Wei couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the man silently, thinking to herself, why did Tie Niu follow?
