Chapter 229 Clumsy Eyes, Didn't Recognize!
The leading official seemed a little surprised, but his expression improved a lot, and he said with a smile, "This madam is absurd, we meet by chance, how can I receive such kind treatment for nothing. Why don't we sit down and have a few bites together?"

Dong Rong shook her head, and replied very respectfully, "Thank you, the official, for your attention. Although the little lady's husband's family is a businessman, her mother's family is a scholar, and etiquette is very important. The official enjoys it slowly, and the little lady will take it with others." Withdrew."

The leading official wanted to say something, but the few companions behind him couldn't bear the hunger, and they all sat down in a grand manner, and shouted, "Boss, don't be polite, he is also sincere and filial. Let's eat quickly, All the way from Haining, everyone was starving to death."

The rest of the people also agreed, and at the end they called out to the old lady, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Hurry up and boil the water, the old men ran for a day, soaked their feet to relieve fatigue, and they have to continue on their way!"

"Hey, yes, yes!" The old lady hurriedly agreed, and she was about to go down with Dong Rong and others with her daughter-in-law.

When the little daughter-in-law turned around, the blocked light shone on Gardi.His pair of brown eyes can't be seen in the daytime, but they are very obvious under the light.The leader's expression changed, he grabbed his arm and asked loudly, "Where did this kid come from?"

Gardi was taken aback and was about to resist subconsciously, but Dong Rong hurriedly hugged him, looked at the official with a puzzled face, and replied, "Officer, this is my son, why... isn't it right? "

The official narrowed his eyes, looked at Gardi carefully for a long while, and then asked, "Is this child a barbarian?"

Dong Rong's eyes widened, and she quickly shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, someone outside the door suddenly shouted, "Oh, Master, why are you at Xiao's house?"

Everyone was startled, Qi Qi heard the prestige and looked around, only to see a young man standing outside the door at some point, wearing coarse clothes, with a bulging bag on his shoulders, looking at Dong Dong with surprise. Rong et al.

The little daughter-in-law was the first to run up and grabbed the young man's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Second baby, you are back, there are many people at home."

Then the queen entered the house, ignored the few officials, first kowtowed to Dong Rong, and finally asked loudly, "My master, when the villain was living in Kyoto last year, I was grateful to my master for taking me in for a few years in Buzhuang. Boy Yue, this is how I managed to survive. Later, when I left, my master also rewarded me with a few medicines for eye diseases, otherwise my mother’s eyes would not be healed. I have always wanted to repay my master’s great kindness, and I don’t want my master today You actually came to the house. Are you passing by? Could it be that the young master's eye disease has occurred again?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Dong Rong's mind, but there was a touch of sadness on her face, she stretched out her hand to help the young man and replied, "You are the second baby, I haven't seen you for a year, but I almost didn't recognize you. Those medicinal materials were originally It was prepared for Di Geer. I didn't expect it to be right for your mother's illness. Unfortunately, Di Geer's eyes did not improve at all, so I thought about going back to my hometown to find a famous doctor for further diagnosis and treatment. I was going to find a place to stay overnight , how could I have thought that it was a coincidence that I came to your house."

The second child still wanted to talk, but the official servant let go of his hand suspiciously, and asked, "Is this child not good at eyesight?"

The second baby seemed to have just discovered that there were outsiders in the room, and was so shocked that she hurried forward and bowed, "Forgive me, forgive my sin. The little one suddenly saw the benefactor and was happy for a while, so I didn't wait for the official. Please ask the official." , Our young master has suffered from a strange disease since he was a child, his eyes are fine during the day, but he can't see anything at night, and occasionally glows blue, it's really weird. Our boss has almost wiped out all his wealth, and he hasn't been cured."

The officer became suspicious when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "There are many strange diseases in the world, just don't delay to watch the road during the day."

"No, it's just hypocrisy. What's the cure for it? Are you afraid that you won't be able to see women at night?" An official servant casually answered some nasty words, which made several companions laugh.

Dong Rong pretended to be angry and dare not speak out, and told Er Wa'er loudly, "Find us a room if there is a spare room, and if the official wants to eat, we won't be an eyesore."

After finishing speaking, she pulled Gardi and walked out.

The dirty-talking official teased again, "Whose woman is this, she has such a temper, how could she be gentle and polite to our boss just now, and you will be annoyed when I come here?"

The crowd laughed even louder, and Er Wa'er smiled dryly and hurriedly cupped her hands in salute, "Master, Master! There is still a jug of grain wine in my little house, so how about bringing it up to quench the thirst of the officials?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier when you have wine, and bring it here quickly. One step at night, I'll break your legs!"

"Hey, hey, here we come, here we come!" Er Wa'er responded humbly and ran out, and soon came in with a jar of unopened good wine.A few officials ate the dishes on the table, quickly drank all the wine, and washed their feet with belches, and then reluctantly dragged their bodies out to get on the horse.

One of them complained, "It's all because of that bullshit Zhongshan King, who made our brothers toss and turn, and couldn't even sleep well at night."

The leading officer stared and scolded, "Shut up, the left and right errands are done, and you will have time to rest when you return to the capital."

After talking, they went out of the yard, got on their horses one after another, and ran away shouting.

Dong Rong heaved a long sigh of relief when she heard the movement in the wing room.Zi Zhu approached cautiously, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do we have to travel all night?"

Dong Rong thought for a while but shook her head, "No, we didn't show any other flaws except Galdi's eyes. If we hurried on the road now, it would be more suspicious. If they came back to take a look, wouldn't they know us right away? There is a problem."

Zizhu rubbed her hands, she was really worried, but the master made a decision, so she couldn't say anything.On the contrary, Jiayi agreed, "Ma'am is right, let's go on the road tomorrow morning, I will send a message to the prince and the others, and we will meet at dawn. There are less than two hundred miles left, so we will be fine if we go together. "

They were discussing in low voices, but Erwa'er came in, and before he could speak, he knelt down and kowtowed, "The little Li Erwa kowtowed to the master, just now seeing that the master was in trouble, he interrupted in a moment of impatience, and hoped that the master would forgive me." crime."

"What are you talking about, I just want to thank you little brother for smoothing things over." Dong Rong hurriedly helped Li Erwa up with her own hands, and finally asked, "I just don't know, you called my boss, did you really work in my house?" ?"

Li Erwa scratched her head, and said with a simple and honest smile, "Madam, please sit down in the main room. My mother and daughter-in-law have to salute Madam again."

Dong Rong was full of doubts, but she still led everyone back to the main room.Sure enough, Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knelt and kowtowed gratefully.Mrs. Li kept crying and scolding herself for being blind, for not recognizing her benefactor.

Everyone was even more confused when they heard it, but fortunately Li Erwa'er told the truth soon.It turned out that last year he and his mother were exiled to Qing County to beg for a living because of the drought in their hometown.When the orchard recruited refugees to work, they came to the orchard. Not only were they able to survive the harsh winter, but Li Erwa even made a full three taels of silver by virtue of straw weaving skills.The couple returned to their hometown at the beginning of spring, and with the money they resettled their family and married their daughter-in-law. Their lives were three points better than before.

Both mothers are not ungrateful people. Whenever they think of the days in Yimianpo Village, they sigh, thinking that it may be time in this life to repay their boss for their life-saving grace.Mrs. Li set up a longevity memorial tablet in her house, and two sticks of incense in the morning and evening, hoping that her master would be free from all diseases and live a long and healthy life.

I didn't expect Dong Rong and his party to stay at their house today. Li Erwa'er had gone to the city to sell straw weaving, but she came back late, but she also happened to get out of the siege.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Rong and the others breathed a sigh of relief and became closer.Each of them talked about what happened after the farewell, and they were all full of emotion.

Li Erwa rubbed her hands and hesitated for a while, before asking, "Boss, there is a sea arrest document posted in the city, what are you..."

Although Dong Rong felt that this person was trustworthy, the matter was so important that she could not say it clearly, so she said vaguely, "There is a little lawsuit at home, and there are some troubles for the time being. We are visiting relatives this time, and maybe we will stay for a few years before we return." Go back to the North."

Li Erwa saw that the owner's expression was peaceful, and he didn't look like he was working hard or frightened, so he reluctantly felt relieved.

"Boss, most of the people in our village worked in the orchard that day. If I heard that my boss came to the village, I'm afraid they would come to kowtow. Boss, look..."

Dong Rong shook her head and said with a smile, "We are just passing by, and we won't disturb the folks with the lawsuit on our body. This time, we happened to stay at your house, so I remember it. I will walk back and forth in the future, so I may not bother you again. At that time, I will meet up with the folks and talk about the old days."

Li Erwa nodded quickly, "Okay, just listen to the master. I will let the mother-in-law prepare the food, and the master will rest up quickly. I will guard the gate of the courtyard tonight, so the master can rest assured."

After that, he found the firewood knife at home and went to the gate of the courtyard. Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law were also busy preparing meals.Soon Dong Rong and the others had hot meals again, but unfortunately, they were destined not to have an ansheng meal tonight.

Halfway through the meal, the officials went back and forth. Although they said that they had forgotten their things in the yard, they left empty-handed.This is obviously suspicious, come back and check.

Dong Rong and the others were so shocked that their backs shivered, but they still pretended to be terrified and dealt with it for a few words, and successfully covered up the past again.

After waiting tremblingly until dawn, everyone hurriedly got up and tidied up their chariots and horses.No matter what Dong Rong thought, she felt that the three members of the Li family were in danger, so she invited them to go south together. Li Erwa was also smart, and agreed without hesitation.The family packed up two parcels, all the bulky items were put into the house, and a big lock was placed across the door, and the packing was finished.

The carriage rolled out of the village under the morning light that was falling on the ground, and soon joined Murong Huaide and others who were in the woods outside the village. They rushed day and night, but within two days they approached Haining County.

Those officials who stayed there felt suspicious no matter what they thought, and when they returned to the small courtyard of Li's family for the third time, the building was already empty.Waiting to break open the villagers one by one to ask questions, but instead, the villagers who understood what was going on, surrounded them excitedly and asked non-stop.
