Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 560 Returning in a hurry
It was already three days later when Ding Wei arrived in Xincheng with the last batch of craftsmen and the stored food supplies.

The so-called ruined family is worth tens of thousands. Although it has only been on the island for more than a year, Shibao's family is still very rich, and everything is obtained by everyone's own hands. He is reluctant to throw away any of them, so he simply shipped them back. , it has been delayed for so long.

The children lived in their new home for a few days, eating, reading, and playing as usual, but when they heard that Ding Wei had arrived, they ran over madly. Even the newly sensible brothers Yue and Qinger hugged their mothers and did not let go, let alone An Geer. up.

Ding Wei was so distressed that she simply took the children everywhere, whether it was discussing business or inspecting the new warehouse.

After everything was dealt with, another day passed.

Although she was unwilling to lift her tired fingers, Ding Wei still insisted on cooking and wanted to cook a sumptuous meal for the children, as a celebration of the housewarming.

But when I got to the kitchen, I found out that there was not much dry firewood.

After all, the stone fort was a hundred miles away from here, and it was not easy to transport it. The dry firewood that had been saved before was all left in the stone fort.Now I feel a little reluctant to use it, only to realize that this thing is too small, but it is closely related to life.

Regardless of whether the red beard is defeated or not, there is always a meal to eat during the rainy season.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, firewood ranks first, which shows how important it is.

Danggui immediately went to look for Guanshi Zhao and Guanshi Chen. The two of them have been very busy these days, so they didn't notice such a trivial matter. Women in every household would not dare to bother the busy men with such a trivial matter, so they delayed. .

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and there was still time to remedy it. The whole city urgently issued an order to cut firewood.

After each household has saved enough dry firewood for their own family, they have to cut firewood for the main family for another day, which is used for workshops such as pencils that do not need to stop working, and for daily use in the city lord's mansion.

As a result, more and more people came in and out of the city gate, carrying ropes when they went, and a "hill" when they came back.

There are so many people and strength, and it's almost ready in three or four days.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they rushed over from the direction of the pier. At this moment, almost everyone raised their hearts, as if the entire city had been frozen.

When the news came out from the City Lord's Mansion, it turned out that the fleet had arrived, and everyone was finally relieved. Occasionally talking about what good things the fleet sent and what price the last batch of goods sold for was all smiles full.

At this time, Ding Wei was already riding a horse on the way back to Shibao Wharf.

Thinking of Mrs. Cheng's red eye circles when she was about to leave the house, she felt very guilty, but there was nothing she could do.Gong Zhiming's life in Da Viet was already difficult enough, and she didn't want him to be distracted, or even if he was distracted, the two places were thousands of miles away, and it wouldn't be of much help.

Now, we can only hide it from the fleet and Cheng Dayou. When the rainy season passes, Gong Zhiming gets the news, and the red beard will probably also retreat.

Thinking like this, she turned her head to look at the big and half-grown children in blue clothes, with the calmness of adults on their small faces. Letting the father and son meet each other made her feel better.

The scorching sun made everyone's faces covered with sweat, and their backs and clothes were soaked. Fortunately, the stone castle was already in sight.

Cheng Dayou was standing on the pier directing the crowd to unload the food supplies, and in turn to load the boxes full of goods onto the ship.

Seeing that the number of guards and craftsmen who came to help was less than half than before, he always felt that something was wrong. Then he looked at the quiet stone castle, the seaside, and the dilapidated workshop, so he arrested Mr. Chu in surprise. San asked, "Brother Chu, what happened, did the master move to the new city ahead of time?"

Chu Lao San groaned secretly in his heart, he is a rough man, he is good at leading troops in war, but it is a bit difficult to tell a lie.

But everyone went to Xincheng, leaving him to lead people to guard the pier and wait for the fleet, and there was no one else to count on right now.

So he could only vaguely say, "Madam decided to move to the new city ahead of schedule because of some things. It's been two days since the move."

"Why did you move there in such a hurry, didn't you say you would move after the rainy season?"

Third Chu swallowed his saliva, not knowing what to say next, but fortunately, the sound of hooves from far and near saved him.

"Oh, Madam is here, you can ask Madam, I have to go on patrol, see you later!"

Chu Laosan bowed his hands and ran away with others, leaving Cheng Dayou feeling more and more puzzled.

Ding Wei jumped off the horse, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile, "Cheng Guanshi, it's been a hard trip again. How is the general in Dayue, and the two anti-kings have been put down? Is there still a shortage of food and enough seeds? ?"

After Cheng Dayou saluted respectfully, he replied, "Don't worry, Ma'am, the general is fine, and the food and seeds have been transported enough. The general also ordered the slaves to bring letters back, and Miss Forsythia to add makeup to Miss Angelica. , Gadgets collected for the young masters. The servants are all loaded in a carriage, and when the time comes, the madam will let the elder sisters pick up and sort them."

"That's good," Ding Wei nodded, and before Cheng Dayou could ask, she cut off the conversation first, "There are old fishermen on the island who said that the rainy season will be earlier this year, and the tide will be higher than usual. I'm afraid of the stone castle." He and the workshop were flooded and moved to the new city ahead of time. In order to prepare for the rainy season to come at any time, you should return to the voyage as soon as possible after loading the goods. However, this trip will not allow your family to reunite for a few days. But I brought the eldest child here. The child has been practicing martial arts very seriously recently, won the praise of Mr. Wei, and will be An Geer's right-hand man in the future."

Hearing that his son was praised, Cheng Dayou was so happy that his eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together, full of joy.

"It's all taught well by the master. You are always with the little master on weekdays. There is almost no difference in eating and drinking. The slave is always grateful. Big boy, learn literature and martial arts hard, and protect the little master when you grow up."

Cheng Dayou touched his son's head and patted his son's thicker shoulders, feeling very relieved.

Dawa's face was a little red, but she nodded heavily.

Ding Wei smiled and said, "I'll go and see the supplies brought in this time, you two, let's talk for a while."

Cheng Dayou hurriedly bent down to thank him. Seeing his master leave, he thought for a while and led his son to a place under the shade of a tree. Looking at the quiet stone castle from afar, he asked with a frown, "Dad, tell dad that the island is Is there something wrong?"

The eldest child lowered his head, hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still responded when he opened his mouth, "No, father, the rainy season is coming, Madam took everyone to move to the new city. Our family also has a separate house, which is very big. But my mother said, the little master is still young, and he has to stay by Madam's side to help take care of her, so we still live in the City Lord's Mansion."

The child was usually taciturn, but it was rare for him to say a few more words today. Cheng Dayou was a little surprised, but also happy.

"Okay, your mother is right."

After finishing speaking, he reached out and took out a heavy purse from his pocket, "This is father's two months' worth of silver, as well as the general's reward, let your mother put it away, and keep it for your brother to marry a daughter-in-law. "

Dawa blushed even more, but stuffed the money bag to her chest.

"If the rainy season really arrives early, Dad really can't stay longer, otherwise the sea route back will be difficult. Tell your mother, don't worry about Dad, after the rainy season, Dad will be back."

"it is good."

The father and I talked for a while, the fleet has been busy for most of the day, half of the cargo has been filled.The boatmen were probably a little tired, and a box fell into the sea when their feet were weak.

When Cheng Dayou saw him, he hurried over to yell for help, so he didn't have time to question his son any more.

Dawa breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and also followed up to help a little.

Soon, at dusk, all the goods were loaded.

Ding Wei handed the package to Cheng Dayou with a heavy heart.As a woman and a wife, at times like this, she also wanted to cry for her man to come back to protect her, her children, their escape route and their homeland, but she changed her words with a sob in her throat, "If goodbye, General , Tell him to rest assured that everything at home is fine and safe. Let him take care of himself and not be distracted by anything."

"Yes, ma'am."

Cheng Dayou's doubts deepened, but he didn't ask any more questions.

The eldest child fell to his knees and kowtowed to his father, "Father, have a good trip, don't worry about the family, I will help mother take care of my younger brother."

"Okay, good boy."

Cheng Dayou hugged his son, kowtowed to his master again, and then got on the boat instead.

The boatmen and the guards who helped carry the boxes were doing the final count. Seeing that everyone was busy, one guard secretly pulled a young boatman aside to talk.

Cheng Dayou saw it by accident when he got on the boat, and thought that the two men were secretly carrying the goods.Nowadays, the products produced on the island are very popular in the mainland. A small palm-sized mirror has already been bought for 200 taels, which is much more expensive than the glass bowl Li Guier carried with him back then.

He wanted to call a little steward over to take a look, but the two clever little stewards were busy, so he frowned and walked over quietly.

I didn’t want to, but I heard the guard say, “Second brother, something happened on the island recently, I’m afraid it’s a bit dangerous. In case… in case I have something to do, you must be filial to your parents. I’ll bring back the money, and you can cover it for your parents.” Yard. If there is nothing wrong with the island this time, and they live in safety in the future, I can bring my parents to the island to take care of them.”

"Brother, what happened on the island?" The boatman was terrified, grabbed his brother's sleeve and refused to let go, "Why don't you hide in the cabin and go with the boat."

The guard pulled away his brother's hand and scolded in a low voice, "What are you talking about? The master's family never treated us badly when we first joined the fleet as guards. Not to mention the time when the pirates attacked the city after going to the island, the general Madam went to battle in person, and she never lost a penny to us even in difficult times. We can't be that ungrateful person. I heard that this time it's some kind of red beard who has something more powerful than a thunderbolt in his hand. You must stay here to protect the general’s wife and young masters and ladies! You go back and be filial to your parents. Remember that no one should tell about this matter, Madam doesn’t want the news to reach the general and make the general worry.”

"Hey, big brother, if you have something to do, what will your parents do?"
