Volume Two, Chapter 131: Come Back
As a result, the next day, Gu Lingyun's servant Changqing went to ask and found that Dongming Ziyu and his family had gone shopping and were not at home.
Mrs. Shen smiled and said: "Several people came to ask about it early in the morning. My sister-in-law said that this snack was made by their own shop. The shop is in Liulin County, and it is called the really delicious pastry shop. The fruit was bought by them on the way here.
I accidentally bought them from the merchants, but they all bought them, and I don’t know where that person went.”
In the small courtyard, Jiang Tongsheng, Shen and Feng Tongsheng hired a car to leave in the morning, while Wang Tongsheng and Zheng Tongsheng planned to stay until the results were announced.
After hearing Changqing's reply, Gu Lingyun pinched his smooth chin and said, "Liulin County, let's go there when we return to Beijing."
In the past few days, Shangguan Ruoli has been asking about which stores have good quality and low prices, and he has also bought some things to store in the space. Today, two locals, Chen Mingdong and Chen Mingnan, are following him, and the prices are a bit more favorable.
They loaded up a mule cart and two ox carts, had lunch, and headed back.
The mule cart was packed with things, and the four of us were a little crowded. Fortunately, the weather was still hot, so we could open the door and sit outside.
Wulang sat on Dongming Ziyu's lap and drove with him. He raised his little face and asked curiously: "Dad, Mom said you went to meet friends in Wen last night. How did you meet friends?"
Dongming Ziyu couldn't say it was just drinking, eating, bragging and spanking, and said: "We just discussed test questions together, wrote poems, and talked about scientific examinations."
"Oh." Wulang nodded his little head, looking very admiring and yearning.
Dongming Ziyu didn't want his son to be too naive, and said: "Fortunately, the small courtyard we rent is very safe and clean. If I stay in an inn, I, a talented person who is the head of the case, will be in danger."
Sure enough, Wulang asked: "Why?"
Dongming Ziyu said, "I also heard at the banquet that the head of the case in Linxian County had a falling out with his good friend and was about to file a lawsuit. He said that the other party had hurt him and deliberately didn't want him to do well in the exam.
His classmate refused to admit it and even accused him of slander, so he reported it to the government. But the government found no evidence, so they had no choice but to let it go. The two have cut off their friendship and turned against each other."
Before Wu Lang could react, Ling Yue sighed: "It's really a careless way to make friends."
Wulang listened and nodded in agreement.
Dongming Ziyu educated the two children, saying: "Although I don't know whether this is true or not, this kind of thing is quite common. Some classmates are jealous, some do evil to reduce competitors, and some are plotting against candidates for gambling.
.”
Wulang asked: "What is the bet?"
Dongming Ziyu patiently explained to Wulang, not at all impatient because he was young.
Shangguan Ruoli smiled softly at Ling Yue and said, "Look, your father is becoming more and more patient."
Ling Yue rolled her eyes at the father and son who were chatting intimately, and snuggled into her mother's arms, "Humph, he is so old, but he still can't understand that his daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket, and his son married a daughter-in-law and forgot about his parents.
!”
When Wulang heard this, he immediately pouted and looked up at Dongming Ziyu, his voice sounding sweet, "Dad, when your son marries his wife, he will be filial to his parents together with his wife!"
Shangguan Ruoli smiled: "I thought you would say you wouldn't marry a wife?"
Wu Lang pointed at his little finger, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay not to marry. What you save is that you have to spend money to coax your wife. Look at Brother Da Lang, all his private money is used to buy things for his future sister-in-law."
"Hahaha..." Several people laughed, and the laughter spread on the official road, making the passersby smile.
Chen Mingdong also raised the corners of his lips, looked up at the gloomy sky, and shouted to Dongming Ziyu in front of him: "Brother Dong, it looks like it's going to rain, let's go faster?"
Dongming Ziyu looked at Tiandao: "Okay!"
Wulang swung his whip and slapped the mule on the buttocks, "Drive!"
With a little more force, the mule started running. It almost knocked down Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yue in the carriage. Fortunately, there were grain bags blocking it behind.
Brothers Chen Mingdong and Chen Mingnan also drove the cattle cart very fast, and the cattle started to run.
I hurried and hurried slowly, but still got wet on the road. The autumn rain was cold, but food was more important. Fortunately, Chen Mingdong and Chen Mingnan often helped people, and Dongming Ziyu was also well prepared, including oilcloth, straw hat, and raincoat.
Three cars were driving hard on the muddy road in the rain.
The sky is slowly getting dark, and because it is raining, torches cannot be lit. There are glass lanterns in the space, glass lanterns, and crystal lanterns that can refract colorful brilliance. But there is no glass in this world, and glass and crystal are both
Rare items are not something he can use, so he can only move forward in the dark.
Ling Yue and Wu Lang also followed the children who escaped from the famine, and they didn't feel scared or miserable at all. Now they can still ride in the car, so they can't get wet or freeze.
We originally planned to arrive home in the evening, but because of the rain, it was already past midnight when we entered the village.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!" Dongming Ziyu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After only six rings, the sound of the door opening and Mr. Dong's voice came: "Who is it? Is Si'er back?"
Wulang said loudly: "Master, we are back!"
Dongming Ziyu also said: "Dad, it's us!"
Mrs. Qian's surprised voice came, "Hey, it's Si'er, it's Wulang, they're really back!"
Rapid footsteps came towards the door.
Mr. Dong reminded: "Damn old lady, be careful, don't fall!"
After hearing this, Ling Yue said loudly: "Miscellaneous! Slow down!"
Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "Don't worry, you won't slip and fall, the ground is paved with stones!"
The path in the yard is filled with stones picked up by Wulang and his group of children, and they are spread on the ground in colorful colors. They are beautiful, non-slip and clean.
There was movement in every room of the host's house. The oil lamp in the room was on, the door was opened, and the courtyard became lively.
Old Man Dong opened the door and saw Dongming Ziyu, Chen Mingdong and Chen Mingnan, who were soaked in water, and said hurriedly: "Come in quickly!"
Mrs. Qian hurriedly moved to the gate and said distressedly: "Why did you come back in the rain? Why didn't you stay one more day?"
Dong Youtian, Dalang, and Dong Youliang came over quickly, took the reins from Dongming Ziyu, Chen Mingdong, and Chen Mingnan, and pulled the animals in.
Old Man Dong closed the door and said from behind: "Heat some hot water and make some ginger soup! Let's also cook some hot food for you guys."
"It's already burning!" Sister-in-law Li's voice came to mind in the kitchen.
The second sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, held an umbrella and came to the mule carriage and took Wu Lang out of the carriage. "Is Wu Lang cold?"
Wulang shook his head repeatedly, "Not cold, not cold."
Shiro ran over with an umbrella and covered the door of the carriage with the umbrella, "Fourth Aunt, Siya, come down quickly."
Erlang, Sanlang, and a few girls also came. Those holding umbrellas and those unloading trucks were all busy.
Shangguan Ruoli asked Ling Yue to get out of the car first, and when he got down, he saw Dong Youyin coming out of the house to help add grass to the livestock, but Sun didn't even show his face.
