184, brush fame
"Thank you, sister."
The eldest boy reached out and grabbed the toffee, and after sincerely thanking him, he turned around and gave a few toffee to the younger brothers and sisters behind him.
When it was the big boy's turn, he silently put the candy in his pocket.
"Why don't you eat it?" Xia Ning asked.
The boy replied, "I want to keep it for Grandma, she has a bad mouth." ”
"What filial piety!"
Xia Ning touched the boy's head, took out another toffee and secretly put it in his pocket.
At this time, the old patriarch and Song Shaoqin walked out.
"Are you alright?"
Song Shaoqin replied, "It's no big deal, you will get better with the medicine." ”
"That's good."
Thinking that they had been out for some time, Xia Ning didn't dare to delay any longer, and pointed directly to the sack on the ground, and explained to the old patriarch.
"Patriarch, this sack contains a crop that can be used as food, called potatoes, and this potato can."
After listening to the introduction, the old patriarch was full of shock, "There is such a divine object in this world?" ”
Xia Ning said quickly, "Is what I said true, you will know after you have tried, we can't stay here for a long time, we will leave Sanxi Town soon, do you remember what I just said?" They will return to the village as soon as possible and plant the potatoes, and they will be able to harvest a batch of potatoes before the year. ”
Hearing this, the old patriarch was anxious, "Lao Er believed it, but he was too surprised for a while, I hope the benefactor doesn't mind, the old man you just said remember it." ”
"That's good, then, let's go." Xia Ning saw that everything was almost settled, so she prepared to return to the meeting place.
"Wait!"
The old patriarch hurriedly stopped, stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the names of the two benefactors?" Where are they going? also let Lao Er know where to go to repay the favor in the future. ”
"No, you don't." Song Shaoqin didn't take this little thing to heart, and he didn't want to get anything in return.
However, his words were interrupted by Xia Ning, "Patriarch, have you heard of the Great Protector General?" ”
The old patriarch immediately bowed his hand in the direction of the sky, "Who in the world doesn't know the name of General Song?" He is the patron saint of our people in Eastern Chu, if it weren't for the Song family army guarding the border all these years, how could we have a peaceful birthday? ”
"Then do you know that the General's Mansion has been convicted by the emperor and sentenced to exile to the Southern Barbarians?"
Hearing this, the old patriarch was stunned and shook his head in disbelief, "How can this be? General Song has protected our people in Eastern Chu for decades, which can be described as hard work, and the Song family is even more loyal, how can they be exiled? Your Majesty, he is."
The old patriarch was full of anger, and when he mentioned the Song family army among the people, who didn't give a thumbs up? How could such a good general be reduced to such a state?
They usually stay in the village and rarely go to the county town, so it is inevitable that some things will be delayed for a long time before receiving news.
The old patriarch couldn't help but think of what happened to them recently, and suddenly felt sad in his heart, so angry that his whole body trembled, but insulting the current emperor is a capital crime, and he had to swallow the words in his mouth.
Seeing this, Xia Ning was very pleased, sure enough, the eyes of the common people were bright, that dog emperor was just deceiving himself, seeing that he was so indignant for the Song family, it was not in vain that the Song family had paid all these years.
"We are the people of the General's Palace, and now we are going to the place of exile."
The old patriarch was shocked, "What? Are you really from the General's Mansion? Seriously? ”
"Of course it's true."
Xia Ning replied affirmatively, she is not the kind of person who does good deeds in obscurity and does not leave a name, didn't the dog emperor want to pour dirty water on the Song family? Then they can also make a reputation.
Besides, they are not as hypocritical as the dog emperor, they have done good deeds, so what's wrong with just telling them the name of the Song family truthfully?
Although the Song family's reputation among the people is very good, who will have too much good reputation?
“.” Hearing this, Song Shaoqin, who was interrupted, looked at Xia Ning silently.
He naturally understood her intentions, originally he didn't care about these false names, after all, the Song family never relied on these to gain future and profit, it can be seen that Xia Ning defended the Song family so much, and he was extremely moved in his heart.
But what made him even happier was that just now she said that they were from the General's Mansion, did this show that in her heart, she already regarded herself as the Song family?
"I didn't expect Lao Er to be able to meet the people of the General's Mansion in his lifetime, this is really an honor for Lao Er."
The old patriarch on the side was already excited, and he didn't forget to turn around and greet the clansmen behind him.
"Come here, y'all! These two are from the General's Mansion, and they are the great benefactors of our Cheng family, they not only brought us food, but also a big bag of new grain, we don't have to worry about no food for the winter, hurry up and thank the two benefactors! ”
Before the old patriarch could finish his words, the clansmen knelt down one after another and kowtowed with gratitude.
"Oh, don't, get up quickly! Don't kneel! ”
Where can Xia Ning withstand such a battle, but she only has one pair of hands, and she can't support her at all, the reason why she moved out of the name of the Song family is just to brush up a good reputation for the Song family, but she doesn't want them to kneel.
As a person growing up in the 21st century, the back can be bent, but the knees must not be easily softened.
"Hurry up."
Song Shaoqin raised his voice to signal, his expression was much calmer than Xia Ning's.
Hearing this, everyone got up one after another, but their faces were still full of respect and gratitude.
“.”
Xia Ning couldn't help but wipe the sweat on her forehead, it was really enough for her to be in a hurry, but as a result, her busy work was not as effective as Song Shaoqin's words.
Sure enough, this person from the General's Mansion has a different aura.
"Okay, it's not too early, we should also go, you should eat quickly, and go back to the village as soon as possible to plant potatoes."
"Yes, benefactor."
The old patriarch bowed slightly, and after learning the identities of the two, his attitude became more and more respectful.
"See you soon!"
Xia Ning smiled and waved her hand to everyone, and then walked out side by side with Song Shaoqin.
"Congratulations to the benefactor!"
"Benefactor has a good trip."
"May the Bodhisattva bless the two benefactors with peace and security, and a long life."
**
Walking out of the alley, Song Shaoqin asked the people around him, "Do you have anything you want to buy?" ”
"No, there's nothing to visit in this broken town, it's almost time, let's go back quickly."
Xia Ning directly shook her head and refused, after what happened just now, she really has no interest in this Sanxi Town now, not to mention that her porcelain pot space is rich in materials, and there is nothing missing, she just wants to come and join in the excitement and feel the real fireworks in the ancient market.
"That's fine."
Song Shaoqin didn't say anything more and fully respected her wishes.
