Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 290 Black Water
Life is like this, whether you want to go or stay, you must stay when you should stay, and you must go when you should go.

After returning from the Mijue Temple, the old house has prepared a sumptuous food and drink for the Luo brothers and sisters to see them off. They will set off early tomorrow morning, and wait for the caravan outside Anpingwei City before the city gate opens, and then leave Liaodong.

Say goodbye to the wine, express endless concerns, expectations and misses.Until the night was dark, Mrs. Wu said: "I will get up at three o'clock tomorrow, so go to bed early." Everyone went back to their rooms.

In the East Wing, Tie Shi discussed with his wife after he entered the door, "Brother Luo must have used a lot of money when he went back to the south this time, I think we will send some money tomorrow, and it will be easier for him to move the grave and reverse the case. "

"You still need to order this matter?" Ning Wan took out the things she had prepared earlier, "It is divided into two parts. I think the mountains and rivers will last forever. It is more prudent for the brothers and sisters to separate the things."

100 taels of gold per person, all of which were newly made gold cakes, sewn one by one into the long cloth belt, which was wrapped with a layer of satin, tied around the waist, even if outsiders saw it, it would be just a belt.Two small purses filled with banknotes in both large and small denominations.There are two more bundles containing more than a dozen taels of scattered silver and a string of copper coins for use on the road.Luo Bing also has a large bag of red ginseng, all given by Mrs. Cui - now she sent the things and Ning Wan took them all, just to reassure her, there is no use for too many things, so she took them as gifts , to bring some for Luo Bing to the capital and the south; and Luo Yan’s is a new set of pearl hair masks, pink pearls, very suitable for a little girl like her, even if there are any big scenes. Can live.

Originally, according to Lu Tieshi's intention, it was just to get more silver. I didn't want my daughter-in-law to be so thoughtful. She thought very carefully for the Luo brothers and sisters, and thought of everything they might encounter on the road in advance, and even had some accidents. And it won't leave you empty-handed.He laughed after seeing them one by one, "My good wife, you have thought of everything for me."

Ning Wan put the two items on the table, "Tomorrow morning, you give the blue set to Brother Luo, and I will give the red set to Yan'er, and then bring the food prepared by Mrs. Bi and the others. .”

After squinting, Ning Wan got up early and went to the kitchen to make dumplings for her farewell, but she saw the lights on in the west wing where Luo Bing lived, and then Luo Yan came out neatly dressed, "Sister Ning, I'm here to make dumplings too. "

Ning Wan asked: "Could it be that your brothers and sisters didn't sleep all night?"

"I squinted for a while, my brother didn't sleep, and rearranged the plans of the new house. After the New Year, it will be easy for Brother Lu and Sister Ning to ask someone to follow the plans and continue building."

"Brother Luo is the same, what kind of pattern do you care about at this time?"

"My brother said that even if we can't make it in time, we should get these done."

This is exactly Luo Bing's heart, as if the iron stone misses him.Ning Wan's words were choked up for a moment, and she just nodded. In fact, she was the same way. She could have asked Mrs. Bi and others to make dumplings, but she always felt that the dumplings made by herself were more affectionate.

After eating the dumplings, everyone went to the door together, only to see a crescent moon in the sky emitting a cold and dim light, and sparse stars dotted around, setting off the deep and lofty dark sky.The coldness at night in the twelfth lunar month in Liaodong seems to be able to freeze people's hearts. When the big red lantern with the word "Lu" was opened, the red halo not only illuminated the road in front of the door, but also revealed a Warmth.

The riders on the horses each held a lantern in their hands, and one was hung on each side of the carriage. A group of people came out of the darkness, and when they arrived at the post pavilion more than ten miles away, it was already daylight.

Tie Shi and Ning Wan got off their horses, and someone had already warmed wine in the post pavilion with the clay stove they brought.Although there were no dishes, everyone still drank three cups, and it was a farewell to Guanshan from then on.

The men patted each other's shoulders and said "Treasure" to each other. Luo Yan also said goodbye to Ning Wan, but before boarding the car, she said to Tie Shi, "Brother Lu, do you think I've grown into a big girl?"

Lu Tieshi just laughed, "How old are you, do you want to be a big girl?" He raised his hand to pat her on the head, but Luo Yan had already combed her hair in a bun with hair pins stuck in it, so she stopped her hand. Pai, just smiled and said: "You listen to Brother Luo carefully, and you will grow into a big girl soon!"

Luo Yan said angrily, "I'm already a big girl!"

Ning Wan pushed Tie Shi behind, and Tie Shi laughed loudly, "Yes, Yan'er is already a big girl! When Big Brother Luo takes care of your family affairs, I will find you a good husband-in-law. In the future, there will be a lot of children and grandchildren." !"

Embarrassed, Luo Yan quickly got into the car and lowered the curtain to block it.Luo Bing also smiled and got into the car, "Only children ask people if they have grown up." He smiled at the two of them and said, "When you come to the capital in the future, I will treat you to a drink!"

The car was walking on the frozen ground. It was creaking instead of the usual cheerful sound. Tie Shi and Ning Wan watched the car and horse go away. Although it was a little sad, it was not painful. After all, they were different from others, and There is a chance to meet the Luo brothers and sisters again in the capital.

After bringing the horse back, Ning Wan smiled and asked about it, "Actually, Yan'er will be 13 years old in a few days, and she is no longer a child." Usually, people in Liaodong begin to kiss girls at this time, According to my mother, Jiang Nan married when he was 13 years old.

"She looks small, isn't she a child, can she really be a big girl?"

Luo Yan is not tall, but no matter how old she is, she will not grow much. Ning Wan said: "She was originally a petite Jiangnan woman with an exquisite figure."

"Then I think she's a child too."

"Even if you are a child now, you will grow up sooner or later, and you will be a beautiful woman who will overwhelm the country and the city. When you see her again, you will be amazed at her beauty!"

Tie Shi suddenly burst into laughter, so out of breath that he even leaned on the horse.Ning Wan was puzzled by his smile, "What's wrong with you?"

"I think of Yan'er when she was a child...hahaha!"

"What's so funny about being a kid?"

"I didn't dare to say that Yan'er was in our house before," Tie Shi smiled for a while before saying, "I took people to the desert and took those military households back, so I naturally helped Brother Luo find Yan'er. At that time, she was dirty, thin and small, her hair was tied and unkempt, and only the whites of her eyes were white on her face, not to mention her small hands. My clothes hadn’t been washed for a long time, but she left them behind when she grabbed them. The next black handprint..."

Thinking of Ning Yan like that, Ning Wan couldn't help laughing, but said: "I think Yi people don't take a bath very much, so she will naturally be dirty when she gets there."

"Indeed, Yi people don't take a bath on weekdays except for birth and death. And she was entrusted by Brother Luo to the old lady of Yi people since she was a child," Tie Shi laughed again, "The most unforgettable thing for me is that Brother Luo To bathe her, I helped change the water, brought out a total of twenty pots of black water, and washed her into a little person. Whenever I think of that time, I want to laugh very much, hahaha!"

Luo Yan was only seven or eight years old then, right?She looks so small, I'm afraid she's just like a four or five year old girl from other people's family.Now that she has grown up and turned into a beautiful girl, but in Tie Shi's heart she has always been that thin, small, dirty little child, and the bath water is black, and she will never change again!
Thinking of how she was already a slim girl when she first met the young Tie Shi, and then he grew up to be a heroic general, and she also grew up to be a beautiful girl, and then he came to propose marriage, and he promised himself, and carried himself into the palace eight times in a big sedan chair. The Lu family became Mrs. Lu.As for Luo Yan, she was still too young when she met Tie Shi, so young that she only left in Tie Shi's heart the impression that she changed the dirty water in the bath, she was born at the right time, so lucky!

Ning Wan had long felt that Luo Yan had an inexplicable feeling for Tie Shi, and she felt a little unhappy because of it, but now she suddenly let go with Tie Shi's laughter.That affection is nothing more than a little girl's gratitude and admiration to the benefactor who saved her life, what is it!So she also laughed, "Yan'er is really a cute child!"

Tie Shi said solemnly: "Don't tell Yan'er about this. I teased her once when I was a child, and she was so angry that she cried and didn't eat for several days, which made Brother Luo very anxious."

"How could you say that to Yan'er?" Luo Yan was young, but her heart was more sensible than the other children, and Tie Shi was a careless person, and she didn't notice Luo Yan's little thoughts at all. , Ning Wan smiled and blamed him, and said: "As for me, I just pretend I don't know, and I won't say anything."

"That's right," Lu Tieshi nodded convincingly, "Your words and deeds are much more thoughtful than I am, and I am really asking you for nothing."

After sending Luo Bing away, Ning Wan and Tie Shi chose a day to visit their parents in Hutai County.

In fact, Ning Wan went back to her natal home when she was buying items for the return trip for the Luo brothers and sisters, but she was in a hurry at that time, so it is better to take her daughter home and let her parents take a look at it, and then accompany her. Speak softly and slowly.

Mother saw that Yaonu and her granddaughter came, but there was no car to follow, so she hurriedly asked: "Didn't you two bring the pagoda tree here on horseback? Don't freeze the pagoda tree!" The daughter and son-in-law often ride horses Everyone is used to seeing them when they go out, and it is not uncommon for women in Liaodong to ride donkeys and mules, and riding horses is nothing, but she feels sorry for her granddaughter.As he spoke, he took Sophora japonica over and touched her small face, "Fortunately, it's not cold."

Ning Wan just laughed, "Hua Hua'er is my mother-in-law's treasure, and I can only bring her out when I go back to my mother's house, otherwise my mother-in-law won't let her go - if we take the child on horseback, the old man will definitely be angry!" He added: "Our car was given to the brothers and sisters of the Luo family. Tie Shi sent Da Liu, who was driving the car, and two personal guards to follow them to the south, so we rented a car to come here today."

The brothers and sisters of the Luo family were alone and had traveled thousands of miles. It would be much more convenient and safer if someone had a car.

The mother hurriedly said: "It's inconvenient not to have a car. When you go back, take the family car back first."

Ning Wan waved her hand, "I have already sent someone to buy it, but I have to wait a few days, mother, don't worry."

Mrs. Yu also knew that Yaonu's family was very rich, and buying a car was nothing, so she didn't give in anymore, because she just mentioned Luo Bing, she said: "My fellow villager is really a person who values ​​friendship, come here before leaving. Look at me, I bought several boxes of snacks, and said to help me find out about my natal family when I go back to Jiangnan."

When Mother and Luo Bing talked about this, Ning Wan didn't take it seriously.Originally, she thought that Luo Bing might not be able to think about these small things when she was developed, but now she knew that Luo Bing was not such a person, but she still didn't have any hope.My grandfather's family was so poor that they went to Liaodong to beg for food, and later sold their mother to Sanjia Village. Now I really don't know what will happen, even if they are still alive, they may not be able to stay in their hometown.

It's just that since my mother still had this idea, she didn't say anything, but just smiled and said: "Brother Luo has received the pardon, so he naturally wants to go back to his hometown to bury his parents and relatives. It's just that there are only two brothers and sisters in their family, but there are countless people. It's hard to be free for a while, mother, don't worry."

"It's been so many years, why am I still in a hurry?" Mother asked again: "I heard that although the court granted a letter of pardon, the case of the Luo family has not yet been overturned. I heard that their brothers and sisters have handled the affairs of their hometown well Then I have to go to the capital to file a complaint."

Just like this, the pardon is just that the court no longer pursues the descendants of the Luo family, and it is still far from overturning the case.Ning Wan smiled and said, "But the Luo family's case will definitely be reversed, we'll just wait for the good news here."
