Chapter 47 The Sai Clan Banquet
Fearing that Sai Qiliang would not believe it, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly added another sentence.

"My son Wen Zhao is now the governor of Dingxi. There can be no mistakes in what he says."

When Sai Qiliang heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. The whole village was exhausted trying to save the crops. How could this village be in chaos if they couldn't wait for the harvest?
Every grain of those grains is poured out with blood and sweat, how can one be willing to give up?
Sai Qiliang was stunned for a while, then looked at Mrs. Xiao with a sad face.

"The crops can be harvested in ten days or so, can they last until then?"

The villagers didn't stock up on any food, and they only hoped for the crops in the field. What would they eat on the way to escape?
Mrs. Xiao couldn't explain this question clearly, so she could only shake her head.

"Who can say for sure about the war? I just heard from Wen Zhao that once Dingxi falls, the ancient Shu army will retreat to Ganzhou, and then the entire Pingyang County will fall into the enemy's hands!"

Is there any way to survive in the hands of the enemy? The men are slaves, and the women are prostitutes! The older ones will be killed immediately. Sai Qiliang is pulling his beard uneasily, not knowing what to do.

Mrs. Xiao persuaded: "Our boat is parked at the Luohe Wharf ten miles outside Banqiao Town. You call a few other cousins ​​and tidy up tonight and go on our boat."

She can only help these close relatives, and the other clansmen must not care about it. After all, the ship is only so big, and there is no other way.

Sai Qiliang hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head resolutely.

"I'm the patriarch of the Sai clan. How can I abandon my clan members? But I'll ask other people to see if they are willing to leave on your boat."

After Sai Qiliang finished speaking, he was in a hurry to go out, but Mrs. Xiao hurriedly called him back.

"Bring Dong Shi along, and let her serve me by my side from now on."

Sai Dongshi's grandma is Mrs. Xiao's cousin. When we were talking about family affairs, everyone casually mentioned it. Mrs. Xiao knew that Sai Dongshi was alone, so she planned to take it with her.

"Okay, I'll call her right away." Sai Qiliang responded and left in a hurry.After he left, Mrs. Xiao went over to greet other clansmen.

After chatting for a few words, she asked: "There is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl surnamed Xiao who knows medical skills in the village. Do you know who she is?" I've said it in detail.

"This girl saved my life, I haven't had time to thank her yet." Mrs. Xiao said ashamedly.The clansmen first cared about Mrs. Xiao for a while, and then someone asked.

"Is that girl outstanding in appearance, tall and thin, sunny and kind-hearted?"

Ever since Xiao Ningxue led a dozen carpenters to build a water truck that shoveled water day and night, her reputation in the village has become very good. This is everyone's evaluation of her from the bottom of their hearts.

After hearing this description, Mrs. Xiao nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, it is such a girl with a bright smile and a warm heart."

"That must be Xiao Ningxue, Xiao Shan's adopted daughter." The clansman said with certainty, "Because of her good medical skills, she saved a young master from the capital, and she got a good fate because of it."

The clansmen also said, "Invite her to the clan banquet that night, and thank her well."

It's rare for the old lady to come back. Everyone of the Sai clan put down their work and slaughtered chickens and ducks early in preparation for a big banquet in the evening. The kitchen was very busy.

"That's a good thing." Mrs. Xiao was very happy.

The clan members are all good people. Even if she can't take everyone by boat this time, she still has to leave enough money for them to buy food when she leaves. Everyone is grateful to her.

I still remember that she was kicked out of the mansion by his wife when she was pregnant with a big belly, and gave birth to a child in a ruined temple.The clansmen were overwhelmed, led by Sai Qiliang, and brought over forty men to Dingxi to ask her for an explanation.

In the end, the master came to the door in person, and welcomed her and the children back to the mansion gracefully.

Later, she left Dingxi with the master and lived in other places for many years. It was not until this year that her son Xiao Wenzhao became the governor of Dingxi that she returned to Dingxi again.

Ashamed to say, it was the first time I went back to my mother's house after so many years.

Which of the tribesmen cares about these things? It is understandable that the road is so high and the road is far away, it is too difficult to come back.

Everyone was chatting happily when Mrs. Xiao twisted her fat body and squeezed in.

With a flick of the handkerchief, he called Mrs. Xiao by her boudoir name.

"Hey, Sai Chunhua, do you still remember me? I am Xiao Zhenxing's wife, Du Mudan, and I gave birth to a child with you in the ruined temple!"

When the clansmen looked at Mrs. Xiao, they all showed disgust and turned their heads away.

Everyone knows that Sai Dongshi was framed by her granddaughter Xiao Mengyao. Although there is no evidence to settle the accounts with them, the Sai family has made a feud with Mrs. Xiao, Jiang Ping and the others.

Mrs. Xiao didn't know much about these things, and she didn't know what kind of person she was, so she answered with a smile.

"It's you! Of course I remember, come and sit down."

As he spoke, he moved aside and let Mrs. Xiao sit down.

The old lady Xiao was fat, and when she got down, she pushed the third wife Sai next to her off the bench, and the third wife Sai could only step aside. "You were pretty skinny back then, but now you're fat, which shows that you're living a good life."

Mrs. Xiao took a look at Mrs. Xiao and said something with a smile.

"It's okay, there is no shortage of food or drink. By the way, I remember that you gave birth to twins. How is your daughter now?"

Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Xiao showed satisfaction.

"My daughter is now in the capital, and her husband-in-law is the Minister of Dali Temple, who has been granted a third-rank imperial order. After hearing this, Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up, and she almost jumped up with excitement.

That's her daughter, and now she's been appointed by imperial edict?
This is great, waiting here with her splendor and wealth!
What did Miracle Doctor Xue say? Everything in the world is in the will of God, and when it is time to expose it, no one can hide it. It seems that tonight is the time to expose this matter and recognize her daughter!
The old lady Xiao hurriedly concealed the ecstasy in her heart, thinking about how to make this matter public, recognize her daughter back, and get back her own glory and wealth!
Besides, Xiao Ningxue and Xiao Yue, their carriages were still driving slowly on the road at the moment, the food was too heavy, and they were a horse-drawn horse, so they were indeed walking a bit slowly.

Xiao Yue sat on the shaft of the car with her legs dangling, looking at Xiao Ningxue with admiration and envy.

"Xiao Ningxue, I also want to study medicine, can you teach me?"

She also wanted to be like Xiao Ningxue and become outstanding, so that she could get closer to Miracle Doctor Xue and have a little bit of qualification to like him.

Xiao Ningxue supported the car shaft with both hands, and said slowly: "Studying medicine is not that simple, you have to know how to read and write." She has been thinking about Mrs. Xiao's affairs, and she is not worried.

Xiao Yue looked serious, shaking Xiao Ningxue's arm.

"Then you teach me how to read and write first. Please, Xiao Ningxue, I must study hard."

Xiao Ningxue was dizzy for a while, she withdrew her thoughts.

"Okay, okay, teach you, teach you, take it with you."

While talking, he dragged Xiao Yue's hand and gestured in her palm.

"Look, let me teach you a simple one, draw one horizontal line is one, two horizontal lines are two, three horizontal lines are three
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yue said pleasantly: "It's so simple? Then I will definitely learn it!"

Just as he was talking, he arrived at the entrance of the village. As soon as the carriage appeared, he was stopped by the people sent by Mrs. Xiao.

"Miss Xiao, you saved my old lady's life. The old lady would like to invite you to the Sai Clan Banquet tonight. Please do me a favor."
