Chapter 103
Ding Wei also stopped talking, hugged An Ge'er in her arms and taught him how to speak.
Didn't they know that their conversation just now had been heard clearly by the soldiers outside the carriage, so every time they looked at the carriage, their puzzled expression was replaced by curiosity.Although they didn't know why the general returned to pick up these women and children to Qianzhou, but such a sensible woman must not be in vain for them to make a trip...
An Ge'er grabbed a wooden toy carved into a piglet, held it up to his mother, and giggled with his saliva in his mouth.
Ding Wei took it with a smile, and the fat boy stood up on his mother's legs, then climbed up to his mother's lap confidently, sat there and took the piglet in his hand, and began to gnaw its nose, drool Another drooling.
Ding Wei was a little amused, took a handkerchief and gently wiped it for her son.
The fat boy yelled while giggling: "Mom!"
Ding Wei hugged her son's soft body, closed her eyes, and sighed happily.
On the other hand, Xiaoqing was thoughtful, and immediately cheered up when her master calmed down.She fiddled with the hem of her clothes in her hand, and asked, "Sister Ding, will we come back again? After leaving, the world will be in chaos again, and it will not be easy to come back once!"
Sister-in-law Cheng also looked over when she heard this. When she got in the car earlier, she looked at the yard of Yun's house and shed two tears.One must know that their family lived in exile and endured countless hardships, but the life in Yun's house was exceptionally peaceful and happy, and it was really reluctant to leave for a while.
Ding Wei felt sore when she thought of her parents and elder brother who didn't know where to go now, but she managed to smile and said, "The world will be peaceful in the future, so I won't be able to go anywhere. Besides, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will come back and you won't agree." Yes. I heard that the manor in Qianzhou has [-] acres of dry land, as well as mountains and ponds, where all kinds of fruits are planted. Fish and lotus roots are also raised in the ponds. It is almost everything that one expects. At that time, we will raise hundreds of Chickens are driven to the mountains to eat worms, and every day they pick up eggs in baskets, but they are soft. A row of pig houses will be built at the foot of the mountain, and hundreds of big fat pigs will be raised. They will be killed for bacon during the Chinese New Year, and they will only be hung on poles to dry They can go two miles away!"
Sure enough, Xiaoqing and sister-in-law Cheng's eyes lit up when they heard such a beautiful and rich pastoral life, and they were so happy that they leaned closer to him and kept asking, "Girl, there are farmers in that manor. There are only so many people in our family." Are you too busy?"
"That's right, Sister Ding, when the time comes, I'll be in charge of picking eggs, okay? I'm going to ask Uncle Li to make the biggest basket, full of it!"
The eldest child of the Cheng family is already sensible, usually honest and simple, but now she rarely squeezed in front of her and begged, "Sister Xiaoqing, let me carry the basket for you, okay?"
Ding Wei laughed when he heard it, and coaxed him scratching his little nose, "Succeed, leave the job of picking eggs to the big boy, your sister Xiaoqing is clumsy and easy to crack eggs!"
Xiaoqing was so annoyed that she immediately screamed, "I won't, I won't!"
Now even Mrs. Cheng laughed, "Silly girl, the girl is teasing you!"
"Oh, sister Ding, you bully me!"
Xiaoqing blushed with annoyance, and twisted around Ding Wei's arm.
Everyone laughed, even Yun Ying who was sitting on the shaft in front also showed a smile.New Manor, new life, is really yearning!
Not to mention how Ding Wei and the others were joking, but to say that everyone hurried all the way, and finally saw the shadow of Qianzhou City four days later.
Qianzhou is the largest city in the south of Xihao, with high walls and deep rivers, if you lead troops to attack, you will have to pay the price in blood.But Gong Zhiming raised his troops this time, it really took advantage of the right time, place and harmony.
The governor of Qianzhou City was corrupt and blasphemous, which had long caused dissatisfaction among the people. He had previously taken advantage of the wind of tax increases by the imperial court, and added countless exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes privately, so he did not wait for Gong Zhiming to lead his troops to attack.The prefect was slaughtered by the rioting people and refugees, and when Gong Zhiming arrived with his army, he took over the panic-stricken city without any effort.
A few notices were posted, waiving exorbitant taxes and halving the grain tax, which immediately won the support of all the people.Among the original four acquaintances in the government office, one of them had studied under Fang Xin's classmate.
After all, he has been in Qianzhou for two or three years, and everyone is familiar with him. However, in a few days, the government affairs have been straightened out, and Qianzhou City has returned to its former appearance, and there are even faint signs of prosperity.
On this day, I got the fast horse report early, and all the officials in the government office went out of the city to welcome them.Thoughtful merchants or side branches of aristocratic families are even more moved when they hear the news. You must know that they had prepared gold and silver beauties when Gong Zhiming entered the city before, just waiting to make friends. A hundred times thicker.It's a pity that Gong Zhiming returned to Qingping within two days of entering the city, which made everyone confused.
Now that they finally came back, how could they miss such a good opportunity.
As for the crowd of common people who dragged their families to join in the fun, their purpose was much simpler. It was nothing more than to see how powerful the world-famous General Gongzhi is?
When Gong Zhiming heard Feng Jiu's report, he was teasing An Ge'er in the car. The fat boy saw him riding on a horse and wanted to hug him, almost fell out of the car window.
He was a great general, and he carried a child on a horse, which was somewhat inappropriate, so he had no choice but to abandon the horse and the carriage.
The fat boy lost his temper when he didn't get what he wanted, and he grabbed his father's hair and refused to let go, causing Ding Wei to slap him on the buttocks a few more times.
Feng Jiu came to report that he had no intention of saving his master who was in dire straits. Gong Zhiming quickly straightened his bun, put on his helmet and jumped out of the car.
Ding Wei, on the other hand, heard that everyone was waiting at the gate of the city, so she thought about it and called Gong Zhiming, "Master, why don't you send us to the manor first?"
Gong Zhiming guessed that she didn't want to fall into everyone's schemes, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll let Feng Jiu take you there first, and I'll come back in the evening. Everything in the manor is up to you. If anyone refuses to obey discipline, just beat him." kill!"
At the end, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Qing, who was about to poke his head in fright, shrank back immediately.
Ding Wei's heart skipped a beat, but she still responded with a smile, "Okay, you can rest assured."
Gong Zhiming nodded, stretched out his hand and patted An Ge'er's little head again, then turned around and got on his horse, and galloped towards the city gate with a large group of soldiers.
Ding Wei hugged her son, looked at the horse team walking away in the smoke and dust, and sighed slightly in her heart.I am used to this man being gentle and considerate in front of me and my children, but sometimes I forget that he is more often an iron-blooded general who holds the power of life and death.
But after thinking about it, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, lamenting that she was hypocritical.How many women want to find such a hero but can't find it. How lucky I am to still pick and choose these trivial things?
"Let's go, let's go to the manor!"
Ding Wei gave Feng Jiu a loud voice, then raised her hand and closed the car door.
"Yes, girl." Feng Jiu responded quickly, turned the horse's head and led the convoy down the official road, and turned onto a dirt road that only allowed two cars to go side by side.
This fork is only three or five miles away from the city gate, and there are no trees to cover it because the crops have been harvested.It's inevitable that those caring people with good eyes will look at it vaguely and feel suspicious in their hearts.
So, after greeting Gong Zhiming, everyone greeted Gong Zhiming and returned to the government office, and those who were quick-witted ran to inquire about news.Up to Uncle Yun, down to the pawns, they were held up and asked non-stop, but unfortunately they were wasting their thoughts in vain.
Gongzhi Ming ruled the army very strictly, and the elite confidants who could be taken by him to pick up Ding Wei's mother and son, how could they betray for a few taels of money.
Needless to say, those who cared were wasted.
Not to mention how lively the city was, only that the convoy was led by Feng Jiu for another half an hour before stopping.
Ding Wei got out of the carriage, raised her eyes and looked around, only to see that the carriage was parked in front of a three-entry mansion.Not far from the left side of the house is a not-so-high mountain. You can vaguely see some fruit trees growing on it, and some shrubs growing on the shaded side. A small stream flows down the hillside, bypassing the large farmland behind the house and then flowing to it. where it goes.
Not far from the west side of the house, a large pond was dug. The lotus roots in the pond were somewhat withered. A few wild ducks were swimming on the water surface. Frightened by the arrival of the convoy, they spread their wings and flew away, leaving circles of ripples on the water surface. .
On the other side of the pond, seven or eight thatched houses were built, and cocks crowed and dogs barked faintly in the fence, which was obviously the residence of farmers.
What a peaceful and beautiful mountain dwelling picture!
Ding Wei was delighted to see it, and there was a three-point smile on her expression.
A middle-aged man who had been waiting by the side of the house for a long time now had the courage to kneel down, kowtow respectfully, and said loudly, "The villain Yuan Qinghe pays his respects to the master!"
Ding Wei was startled when she heard someone talking suddenly, she turned her head and saw Yuan Qinghe was dressed very plainly, guessing that he was a tenant in the village, she hurriedly said, "Uncle Yuan please get up, I am also arranged by the master to take care of him Those from the manor can't afford your gift."
Yuan Qinghe waited all morning with the old and young in the village, afraid that the new master would be picky about etiquette, so he didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, and led everyone to kowtow again before standing up, bowing his body in a restrained manner.
Ding Wei originally wanted to ask about Zhuang Zhong's situation, but she didn't say any more after seeing this, and asked him to go back first, and then ask him to ask questions after he settled down.
Yuan Qinghe sneaked a look at her with a gentle expression, not looking like she was blaming her, so she nervously led her to retreat.
Ding Wei shook her head, and went up the steps first into the yard.I don't know if it was Gong Zhiming's special order or it was a coincidence, but this house is seventy percent similar to Yun's house, except for an extra courtyard and a small garden. The location is the same.
Aunt Li's family and Xiaoqing were all beaming with joy, looking around, exclaiming from time to time.
On the other hand, Yunying hugged An Geer and followed Ding Wei all the time. Feng Jiu was gathering people to carry luggage in the courtyard. Seeing this, he ran into the main courtyard and asked Ding Wei for instructions, "Sister Ding, where do you put your luggage?"
Ding Wei thought about it, and didn't bother to re-divide, so she smiled, "Everyone should be assigned according to the previous residence, there is no big difference between left and right."
Everyone responded in unison, then laughed and followed Feng Jiu to carry the luggage.
Sister-in-law Cheng has a good eye, and now the eldest child can take care of the second child, so she wanted to help the master to share a little more work.
So he said with a smile, "Girl, I will live in the outer courtyard from now on. The empty room in the west wing is better as a study. It will be cheaper for you to read and write in the future."
