Chapter 288
Mrs. Lu Shao lived on the mountain for only two or three days, and after packing up, she took Peiyu and left. Lu Baihu sent his wife and concubine home, and when he came back, he brought a newcomer Zangzhu with him.

Cangzhu was originally the big girl next to Mrs. Lu, Ning Wan had seen it before, and the girls next to the mistress of the big family were not bad, they looked good, talked and behaved well.Like Peiyu, she is extremely respectful to herself.This is also the proper meaning, if you don't even understand this reason, the Lu family will not be able to tolerate her long ago.

Kong Wan couldn't tell what was in her mind, she was far inferior to Peiyu in Zangzhu, although the people in Zangzhu were very good, but her mind just changed.Of course, now that she is Mrs. Qianhu, she doesn't show this difference, it's just that it's different in her heart.

Naturally outsiders can't see anything, but Tieshi knows his daughter-in-law.At first the Wu family wanted to send their cousin to their side, but the matter hadn't been made clear, the daughter-in-law was unhappy, and then she thought that she would be neglected by taking a concubine in the future, so she cried like something.Now needless to say, he must be paranoid again, so he coaxes her every day.

That day, Tieshi started the charcoal business, of course it was for the purpose of raising soldiers, but in fact it was also for the purpose of slowly taking out the gold hidden in the mountains.But I don't want the charcoal business to be very prosperous, and the money earned is already enough to support soldiers, and it is quite surplus.The gold that was taken out and re-refined was useless, so they cast it into gold cakes and put them away in several places.Now he had an idea and asked someone to cast a batch of gold and silver bullets, the size of the clay balls played by children, and played marbles on the kang with Wan'er, which made his wife smile.

Tired of playing in the house, Tie Shi took her to look around in Huju Mountain again.

Mo Daohuju Mountain is located among barren mountains and wild ridges, surrounded by few people, and it is in the cold winter season, so there is not much scenery to see, but it is not the case.Huju Mountain is backed by thousands of mountains and ravines, and the vastness is endless. In front of it is a long road connecting things, looking down and looking down, it is endless. After the winter, the snow has covered everything. Dressed in plain clothes, there is a vast expanse of silver and white everywhere, which makes people feel a sense of pride without knowing it.

Ning Wan was wearing thick cowhide boots, a sable red satin cloak, and a Zhaojun hat. Her eyes were bright and her cheeks were red. She pointed at a place excitedly, "Tie Shi, do you think it looks like there?" A huge silver dragon swimming?" She marveled at the miraculous creation of nature, and she had long since forgotten all the depression in her heart.

Tieshi laughed, "You're right at all—it's called Nine Dragon Mountain."

"The person who named it back then must have stood here and looked down!" Ning Wan firmly believed, and counted seriously, "One, two, three...why I counted eight dragons, but why is it called What about Jiulong Mountain?"

"Come on, let's count together."

"One, two, three... eight, nine, ten, why is it ten again! Which nine is it?"

They couldn't find out the person who named them at the beginning and ask them clearly, so the two stopped counting the dragon and turned to look at the mountain road. A small black spot appeared on the road like a jade belt at some point, "At this time, there is still It’s really not easy to do business!” The messengers in the army all wear red jackets, and the ordinary peasants are all at home at this time, so they can only be businessmen who are mercenary.

Tie Shi looked at it but said: "Not necessarily, merchants always have to bring goods, but this man is Qingqi, only one person and one horse."

The two of them saw the black dot and it became bigger after a while, "It's actually coming towards our Huju Mountain. I don't know who it is and what it is." They also returned to the barracks from the mountain.

Just after reaching the stone wall, a soldier came to report, "Luo Bing is on his way up the mountain to ask to see Qianhu."

Tie Shi and Ning Wan looked at each other, they would return to Hutai County in a few days, the letter had already been brought back, Luo Bing should know about it, but why did he come here in such a hurry?

Fortunately, Luo Bing arrived soon. He didn't even wear a cloak, only a black cloth robe, and because he climbed the mountain in a hurry, his head was steaming. When he saw them from a distance, he shouted, "Luo's family!" The crimes of the Luo family have been forgiven! The crimes of the Luo family have been forgiven!"

It turns out that the crimes of the Luo family have been forgiven!
Didn't Young Mistress Feng's natal brother say that the emperor is unlikely to reverse the case for the Luo family?Why did such good news come again?Tie Shi and Ning Wan greeted him with a smile, "I really didn't expect that!" They asked for details anxiously.

But when Luo Bing came close, he was so panting that he couldn't speak, he just pointed to the sky, wondering if he was saying that the sky has eyes.Ning Wan hurriedly said: "Come to our house and rest for a while, you are so easy to get sick!"

Tie Shi held him up and helped him into the house, Ning Wan brought hot water, and asked people to kill sheep and serve wine.After a while, Luo Bing came back, crying and laughing: "It's still the letter from the Feng family to Yan'er, saying that the emperor dreamed of the old man of the Luo family at night, and after waking up, he pardoned the crimes of the Luo family—although I haven’t overturned the case yet, but I think it’s possible to overturn the case!”

The husband and wife congratulated together, and said: "Since Big Brother Luo is not a sinner, there is no need to stay in Liaodong, and return to Beijing to appeal for the Luo family's injustice. If you think about it, it will be just around the corner!"

"I think so too!" Luo Bing said again: "When I first got the letter, I rode over here!"

The reason why Luo Bing is like this is that he truly regards them as friends and must share this joy with them immediately.Both Tie Shi and Ning Wan knew about it, but they blamed him, "Of course it's a happy event, and we couldn't be happier, but Big Brother Luo came here just like that. How dangerous the road is, even frostbite is not a good thing."

"At that time, I didn't think much about anything, I just came here wholeheartedly!" Luo Bing was also a little embarrassed, "Fortunately, the bandits have long since disappeared, and the roads in this area have been repaired and leveled. Difficult to walk, and I went smoothly along the way."

It wasn't until everyone drank mutton soup and had dinner in the evening that Luo Bing finally calmed down, and he wasn't too sleepy. "I was just excited before, but now I feel tired."

Ning Wan asked someone to clean up the guest room, and Tie Shi sent him there, "Go to sleep early and recharge your spirits—although Big Brother Luo was pardoned, there are still many obstacles to overturning the Luo family's case." Things are probably not as easy as they have been in the past ten years or so."

Luo Bing also nodded, "I understand everything, but since I have taken the most important step, I have to make my way even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire below!"

Everyone rested that night and sat down again the next day. Tie Shi said, "We discussed it as husband and wife. Although the government's pardon is coming soon, brother Luo might as well celebrate the new year in Hutai County." When the weather is warmer and then return to the capital, on the one hand, there is no hardship on the way, and on the other hand, Yin Shi will just settle down in the spring, and then make plans for the case of the Luo family."

At this time, Luo Bing had returned to his usual calm and self-possessed appearance, shook his head and smiled and said, "I know your kind intentions, but as long as the government's pardon is issued, Yan'er and I will leave Liaodong, and first go back to Jiangnan to take care of our parents and relatives." His bones are buried in the ground for safety, and then he returns to the capital to start overturning the case for the Luo family, and it will be sooner than later!"

Although Luo Bing said that he had waited for ten years, so what if he waited for another ten years, but when the opportunity came, he couldn't hold back at all.Tie Shi and Ning Wan also understood, so they both nodded and said: "In that case, we'll go back to Hutai County to see off Big Brother Luo."

It turned out that it was Dongyue, and Tie Shi originally planned to return to Hutai County in a few days, but now it was a few days earlier.Fortunately, these days of military training, he raised several general banners again. Although he couldn't be promoted to Baihu because he didn't have the employment documents of the Ministry of War, he had already assumed the responsibility of Baihu on weekdays. Fields, military supplies, etc. - At this time, Tie Shi is at ease even if he leaves the army for a while.

Back to the old house in Hutai County, the government's pardon has not yet been issued.

Although the letter sent by Young Mistress Feng's natal brother was very affirmative, the government's pardon must be used as evidence.So Luo Bing and Luo Yan brothers and sisters are happy on the one hand, worried on the other, and indescribably eager. People who usually have strong ideas now need Tie Shi and Ning Wan to discuss everything.

Tie Shi still has some doubts in his heart. He is not familiar with the Feng family, and he doesn't know whether Mrs. Feng's natal brother is reliable, and the case of the Luo family is indeed a big one. People can't believe it completely.But Ning Wan was different. She already knew that the Luo family's case would be reversed, but she didn't know the details—it must have gone through various setbacks at the beginning.So I tried my best to pack the luggage for the Luo brothers and sisters.

Although there are only two people, and they are both relaxed, it is good to be at home, and everything is difficult when going out, especially when going to Beijing in winter, there are quite a lot of difficulties.Ning Wan first ordered two sets of brand new big fur clothes, cloaks, hats and gloves. Keeping warm on the road is the most important thing.Let’s not go into details about the hand stove, food, and supplies one by one. They need to be carefully thought out to be complete without being a hassle.

Seeing that it is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, as the saying goes, "La Qi La Ba freezes your chin", which means that it has really entered the severe winter since then.Therefore, Laba porridge is eaten on this day in Liaodong Laba: put glutinous rice, red beans, mung beans, red dates, walnuts, millet seeds, etc. together to make a pot of sticky porridge. To celebrate the good harvest, folks also joked that Laba porridge can stick the chin to prevent it from freezing.

The Laba porridge in Lu’s old house was made by Mrs. Bi, who just used eight kinds of rice and fruit ingredients. The porridge was washed and soaked from Laqi. It was boiled for two hours in the early morning and served in white porcelain bowls. The colors are very beautiful, and they are decent when they are placed for sacrifices, and they are very sweet and delicious when everyone sits down to drink porridge.

Ning Wan first fed Sophora Hua'er half a bowl, and when she saw that she was full, she filled a bowl and ate it herself. Looking up, she saw Luo Yan was gently stirring the bowl with a spoon, and there was still more than half a bowl of porridge left. Pushing a plate of pickled vegetables in front of her, "Eat a piece of pickled melon, it's the best meal."

Luo Yan smiled gratefully, "I also know that I should eat more, but there seems to be a fire in my heart, and I can't eat it no matter what."

Because it was the Laba Festival, everyone was together, Luo Bing was sitting at the table with Tie Shi, and smiled gently and said: "I've been in a mess for the past few days, but no matter what, I still have to eat well." .”

Mrs. Wu also knew about the Luo family, so she advised, "Everything is fate, it depends on how it is destined, Yan'er needs to eat more, she has lost weight in the past few days."

"Yes." Luo Yan agreed, put a spoonful of porridge into her mouth, and swallowed with all her might.

At this moment, the little girl Sheng'er ran in, "Tolerance came outside and said he was looking for Mr. Luo!"

The pardon has finally arrived!Covered with the red seal of the government, it was sent from the capital to Hutai County all the way through Pingyi, which was about ten days slower than the letter from the young lady's family, but it was a real document.From then on, Luo Bing and Luo Yan got rid of their identities as sinners!

Looking at the brothers and sisters who were weeping at each other, everyone wept with them. The Luo family is really miserable, and the Luo family is also suffering too.The mother-in-law was the one who cried the saddest, but she smiled and said, "You guys finally made it through."

Everyone also persuaded them one after another, and it took a long time to sit down again. Luo Bing saw the intent of everyone's inquiry, and said firmly: "Yan'er and I left a few years ago. When we arrive in the capital, we will write a letter to everyone to report that we are safe."
