peasant girl wedding

Chapter 218 Dust
Tong Duo'er looked at him with teary eyes, and threw herself into his arms regardless of whether anyone was present.

She hugged her tightly, and the body temperature she felt in her hands was real, not a dream in the past. As soon as she woke up, this person disappeared like a bubble.

"Dol..."

Dong Ping was hit by her and staggered several steps back before standing still.

"Dol..."

He shouted again.

However, Tong Duo'er hugged him even tighter.

"Big sister, brother-in-law, it's cold outside, and... a lot of people are watching?"

Tong Zhier said in a low voice.

Others don't look at it, Tong Duo'er is not as shy as before after experiencing three months of fear.

However, she was unwilling to freeze Dong Ping.

"Come on, let's go to the carriage and change into a thick dress."

Saying that, Tong Duo'er took his hand and happily walked to the carriage parked next to the inn.

"My brother-in-law is back, and my eldest sister finally has a smile on her face."

Tong Zhu'er sighed behind her.

Tong Zhi'er also smiled, "Yes, as long as brother-in-law is here, eldest sister's heart will be at ease."

The two followed quickly.

Tong Duo'er originally planned to ask Dong Ping to go to the inn to have something to eat before leaving, but Dong Ping remembered that he was concerned about his family, and after changing clothes, he wanted them to go home directly in a carriage.

"Uncle and Zhaoyin are home?"

He was going to the capital to receive the award in person, to face the sage to make a statement, but Tong Zhaoyin and Fang Dalin didn't need it, and with Marshal Ji and others around, things would definitely go smoothly.

So, when they came back from Shiyi, Fang Dalin, Tong Zhaoyin and Marshal Ji explained the situation, but instead of following the army, they rushed directly to Qingzhou.

In the swaying carriage, Dong Ping asked.

"It's here, it's here eight days ago, except for you."

Tong Duoer said a little aggrieved.

"Duo'er, it's hard for you."

Tong Duo'er shook her head, staring deeply into his eyes, "As long as you are well, I will be fine."

The two looked at each other, and there was only each other in sight, but they forgot about Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er, seeing that their mouths were about to meet, Tong Zhi'er couldn't help coughing in a low voice.

Tong Duo'er blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Tong Zhi'er anymore.

She is ashamed and ashamed here, but Tong Zhu'er is a child, but she can't open any pot and carry which pot.

"Second sister, why did eldest sister and brother-in-law get so close just now?"

"Children, why do you ask about these things? You will understand later?"

Seeing that Tong Zhi'er was about to open her mouth, Tong Duo'er was really afraid that she would tell Tong Zhu'er just like that, and cut off the conversation.

"Sister, I'm ten years old this year, I'm not a child anymore."

Tong Zhuer retorted.

"You're only ten years old, how can you not be a child?"

Tong Duoer shook her head amusedly.

"Second Sister, Eldest Sister is a bully."

Tong Zhu'er had no choice but to take Tong Duo'er, she shook Tong Zhi'er's arm and acted like a baby.

"Big sister didn't bully anyone, aren't you just a child now?"

Tong Zhier also laughed.

"Okay, both of you bully me, me, brother-in-law, look..."

Tong Zhu'er looked at Dong Ping who was on the side.

Listening to the conversation of the three sisters, Dong Ping just smiled, not thinking anything else.

"Really, I ignore you..."

Tong Zhu'er turned her head to look outside, and never looked at the three of them again, but she was extremely happy in her heart.

Coincidentally, the brother-in-law also came back, and the family can finally be reunited.

When the carriage reached the village, it was already dark.

The coachman parked a few people on the village road. It was cold, the road was dark, and the ground was slippery, so he didn't want to go any further.

"Coachman, I'll add some money to you, it's convenient for you..."

Dong Ping was worried about Tong Duo'er and the three of them, and was about to pay out the money, but was held back by Tong Duo'er.

"As far as these few steps are concerned, Zhi'er, Zhu'er, I and I can still bear it. We are not the ladies in the capital who don't leave the gate and don't go out. We are not afraid."

"But it's so cold..."

No one answered him, and the three of Tong Duo'er had already moved forward.

The coachman looked at the man who asked for more money for a while, but then left by himself, and rushed to another place resentfully, waving his whip.

The barking of dogs resounded in the village one after another. If Dong Ping hadn't been around, the three of Tong Duo'er would have trembled with fright.

Tong Duo'er and Dong Ping walked side by side, holding hands tightly in the darkness.

"Father, mother..."

Hearing the sound, Tong Zhixin quickly opened the door.

"Why don't you come back sooner, it's so dark, and the three of you are girls, if... Ah Ping!"

The man walked into the dim and slanted light, allowing Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei to see his face clearly.

"Ping, you are back."

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei had tears in their eyes.

Dong Ping knelt on the ground, "Father, mother, you are frightened."

Fang Cuiwei quickly helped him up, "It's so cold on the ground, why are you kneeling, get up quickly, let's go inside and talk..."

Dong Ping was taken to the room where he warmed himself by the fire.

Fang Cuiwei and Tong Duo'er went to the kitchen together, and quickly prepared five dishes, and the family set up a table in the warming room and ate together.

"It's such a cold day, and the road is not easy to walk. You will write here tonight, and you will go back with Duo'er tomorrow."

Tong Duo'er looked at Fang Cuiwei happily, "Thank you, mother."

"Thank you, mother, I want to talk to you more."

"Ah Ping, how is the Dong family's affairs going? What did the emperor say?"

Tong Zhixin asked, Fang Cuiwei and others looked at him nervously.

"The emperor said..." Dong Ping's voice was low and his face was serious. After suspending everyone's atmosphere, he suddenly grinned, "I have equalized my merits and demerits, so I can exonerate the Dong family from the crimes, but I have to pay some money."

Tong Zhixin and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's okay.

"How can it be all right?"

Xinglin Dong's family, since they received the imperial edict, they are all dumbfounded.

Turn in 10 taels of silver, my god, it's 10 taels, a full half of the assets of their Xinglin Dong family.

The remaining half is immovable property such as fields, houses, and pharmacies.

After hundreds of years, the Xinglin Dong family can be regarded as one of the upper class, and they have contacts with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, needless to say about food and clothing.

The emperor asked them to pay 10 taels of silver. Without the silver, the entire Dong family would be in a hurry. If someone came, they would be laughed at.

"This is what the second brother did alone. What are you doing to our Dong family?"

"If I knew it would be today, why not separate?"

"It's good now, there's nothing left, how can I go out to see you in the future?"

The wife of the third room scolded angrily.

"Okay, just shut up."

Dong Sanye shouted.

The third lady's face was red and white, and she bit her lower lip firmly.

"Women, you don't understand anything! Rebellion is a serious crime that affects the entire family. It is a blessing that the emperor can bypass our family and only fine you money. You are still yelling here. If you are reported to the superiors, Made the emperor change his mind..."

The third lady, who originally planned to continue scolding after Third Master Dong left, trembled in fright after hearing this.

To kill...

don't yell...

Known, she died...

"You know what to do now, don't you?"

Dong Sanye looked at her coldly.

The third lady nodded hurriedly, "I know, I know, third master, I won't say a word, just ask my sister-in-law to hand over all the money, and I won't make trouble if someone comes to collect the money. "

Not only did the third wife not make trouble, but she also beat up the entire Dong family in Xinglin.

When Mr. Lu came to Dong's house to collect money according to the time limit, he was shocked by the attitude of the whole Dong family.

My brain turned quickly, and I figured out the joints in just a few days.

.........

Looking at the entire Dong family that was basically evacuated, Dong Ping's mother, the eldest wife of the Dong family, sighed.

"Money is just something outside of the body. We can be satisfied with it if we can use it to eliminate disasters."

Uncle Dong comforted her.

Mrs. Dong nodded, "I know, but after all, it's something my ancestors accumulated for hundreds of years, and it just disappeared...Second brother, I'm so confused..."

It's not that he's confused, it's just that his brain was kicked by a donkey and the door was pinched!
Uncle Dong thought angrily.

"How could we have escaped so smoothly? I don't know who said good things to us?" Thinking of another incident, he said again.

The eldest lady also pondered, "Yes, I found out after inquiring, I have to thank you very much, otherwise..."

Thinking about that scene, the eldest lady panicked terribly.

"A letter came from my in-laws, that Aping has gone home."

"Really? Is he hurt? Okay?"

The eldest lady stood up and asked eagerly.

Uncle Dong smiled, "If you're worried, let's go and have a look."

"Alright, I haven't seen my daughter-in-law for quite a while, and I miss her too."

Two days later, the servant of the Dong family found out about the matter.

"Back to the words of the uncle and the eldest lady, it was the eldest son who saved our Dong family. The eldest son was kidnapped like an enemy camp, and then escaped and entered the Ji family army. This time, the Ji family army was able to calm the chaos so quickly because of the eldest son. You have made great contributions, and you can tell the emperor that your merits and demerits will be equal.”

"God, it was Aping! It was Aping who saved us."

The eldest lady stood up abruptly, with a look of surprise on her face.

"He really didn't disappoint us."

"Master, madam, son and mistress are back."

The butler came in from outside to report with a blushing face.

"Quick, quick, get ready, I'll go outside to meet them."

Tong Duo'er was supported by Dong Ping to get off the carriage, looked up, and looked at the word "Dong Mansion" written in gold on a black background, she was still a little timid.

A big hand took hers.

Tong Duoer looked sideways and smiled at Dong Ping.

As long as he was around, she had nothing to worry about.

"Come on, let's go in."

"Ah."

Before the two of them walked up the steps, Uncle Dong and Mrs. Dong arrived at the door.

"Ping, daughter-in-law, you are here."

"Father, mother, why don't you come to greet me in person?"

Dong Ping was stunned, and Tong Duo'er was also at a loss.
