happy event

Chapter 242
Before Dong Xiucai could finish hearing these words, he fell to the ground with his face livid, apparently fainted.Old man Cao was also holding on to the table and panting heavily. The so-called children are the stomachs of the heart, and one more child means more care.

Dong Xiucai spent the first half of his life in a muddle, and almost lost a pair of good sons and daughters. After living on the island for the past ten years, he figured it out.Especially being the eldest daughter of the princess is simply his pride.Hearing people mention his daughter's happiness on weekdays, the old man would be happy to eat two more bowls of rice.Even Niu muttered a few sour words behind his back, but he was directly driven to the shore to live with his married young son.

At this moment, the eldest daughter suddenly heard that she jumped into the sea, not knowing whether she was alive or dead. The old man felt that it was a bolt from the blue, so he couldn't bear it at that time.

Old man Cao was even more sad. He had no children in his life, but God was merciful to him and kind-hearted, so he finally got a prince to be his son, and his daughter-in-law was as filial as his own daughter.He wished he could wake up with a smile in his dreams at night.Now, the son committed suicide, the daughter-in-law jumped into the sea, and the good family immediately fell apart.When you grow old and lose your son, the white-haired man gives away the black-haired man, the world is miserable!
Everyone panicked when they saw this, and they didn't care about being shocked. First, they helped the two elders to sit up. This one poured herbal tea, and the other stroked their hearts. Finally, they woke up the two old men.

Master Dong usually puts the most emphasis on demeanor, but at this time he had already forgotten it, crying so much that his nose and tears covered his face.

"My sister Rong, what's the matter? Why can't you come back after you go out?"

Old man Cao also cried so hard that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, "My son, who the hell killed you? Come back, my father will die for you, and my father will not live anymore..."

Everyone felt sad when they heard it, and couldn't help but shed tears.After all, Mr. Yang has seen some big scenes. He glanced around and saw that the noise just now did not attract others, so he comforted him in a low voice, "Brothers, this is not the time to cry. The prince and princess An auspicious person has his own celestial features, and he will definitely escape the catastrophe and return safely as soon as possible. But this matter cannot be spread, otherwise the whole island will be panicked, which is not good. The second uncle and Juncheng are not on the island. You two have to support the whole family."

Uncle Wang also persuaded, "Brother, Brother Dong, Mr. Yang is right. I don't think Wang Ye and Sister Rong seem to be short-lived. All the storms and waves have come over these years, and this time it will be fine. You can I can't fall down, and I still count on you to make up your mind. If the old sister-in-law and our old lady find out, I don't know what will happen, and I have to hide this matter first."

Xu Shi listened to the two people's advice. Although the old man Cao's face was still a little bruised, but his eyes were bright, Dong Xiucai also struggled to sit up, and replied, "Yes, we can't talk about this, Sister Rong Before the son and the prince come back safely, we have to help them guard the house."

Everyone was relieved a little, and reunited to discuss countermeasures.The boatmen, maids and servants who escaped with Mr. Chen must not be released casually, but it is not good to stay on the boat forever.The best way is that the boatmen still follow the red horse boat to search and rescue at sea, and the maids and servants find a yard to settle down and do some small jobs that don't require going out of the house on weekdays.

The rest of the staff must keep their secrets strictly, and the firm must send a letter to inform them, and Dong Ping and Zhang Yang must also be recruited.The three children who sneaked away to play in the south of the Yangtze River must be found even more quickly, so as not to be harmed by the wicked again.Of course, the most important thing is to send someone to find Mr. Feng who is wandering outside.Taking a ten thousand step back, Dong Rong and his wife really have three strengths and two weaknesses. Only Mr. Feng can hold his ground, save most of the property, and hand it over to the three children.

Several elders discussed and agreed, and sent Chen Haili to look for Wang Er, the big housekeeper on the island. Back then, when the five brothers and sisters of the Wang family came to the island together in a carriage, Wang Er was only half a child.Wang Da was honest and dull by nature, he didn't expect his younger brother to be shrewd, well-measured and smooth in doing things, Zhang Yang took his wife and children ashore to take over the business the year before last, and recommended him to be the big housekeeper, but he also managed the island neatly.

Mr. Yang briefly explained the matter. Wang Er was also pale with shock, but he immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Our five brothers and sisters of the Wang family have been greatly favored by the master since the master bought the Four Seasons Garden. Now the master If there is a problem, I will definitely take care of Taoyuan Island even if I am completely terrified, and wait for my master to return safely."

"Good boy!" Mr. Yang helped him up, and said what he had just agreed upon.

Wang Er agreed and hurried down to make arrangements. The red horse boat going out to sea needed clean food and fresh water, and he needed to arrange a secluded and quiet yard for the maids and servants. He really didn't have time to spare for sadness.

Mr. Chen, his grandson, and his grandson also hurried back to put on the clothes. Then Mr. Cao took out a small silver plaque from his collar and said in a low voice, "This is what the pillar left for me before it landed. Tell me, in case something happens on the island, use this sign to send people to the cliff.”

Hearing this, Mr. Yang breathed a sigh of relief.He was right in his guess, King Zhongshan avoided living on an isolated island, so it was impossible not to leave some back roads and manpower for himself.The old boatman had already said before that those assassins were so powerful that ordinary people could not resist them. Whether they searched at sea or went ashore, they needed manpower.

But when the old men rushed to the dark camp on the other side of the cliff, they were a little disappointed. There were only less than a hundred people left in the huge camp. If they only guarded the island, it would be barely enough.But it is really stretched to search at sea and in the whole Daqi.

However, at this time, I really can't complain too much. After all, no one expected such a disaster to happen. Otherwise, it would be safer to stay on the island.

Orders were issued one after another. Of the three red horse boats, only one was left to guard the island, and the other two went out to sea under the leadership of Mr. Yang and Master Dong.

Mrs. Cao has been suffering from the wind and cold for the past few days. Although she doesn't say anything, she is faintly looking forward to her son and daughter-in-law's return soon.People are always afraid of death, and always feel that if they die, their children will die.

As a result, when my old man said that his son and daughter-in-law not only did not come back, but went to the mainland to play.The old lady was so angry that she stopped drinking the medicinal soup, pouted and played with her child's temper.

Old man Cao felt as if he was being fried in hot oil, but he couldn't tell the old woman, so he could only coax him patiently, using the excuse that his three little grandsons sneaked out to play, and his son and daughter-in-law rushed to arrest him.

When the old woman heard that her three most beloved grandchildren were involved, she would not be angry, but began to worry that the naughty grandchildren would be punished.

Not to mention how everyone blocked the news and searched closely, but said that on the screen that was a thousand miles away from Taoyuan Island this day, two large ships were approaching one after the other.Although the hull of the ship was very dilapidated, a flag with the word "Official" embroidered with it was flying in the wind at the top of the mast.

And Dong Rong was lying in the narrowest cabin on the bottom of the bilge at this time. Perhaps she was not worthy of death. She resolutely jumped into the stormy sea that day, but she was not drowned. A passing official ship was rescued.

However, after a night of soaking in the sea, despair and coldness completely overwhelmed her. She still had a high fever two days after boarding the boat, her face was as red as fire, and her lips were chapped and cracked. It was really miserable.

An old lady with gray hair was currently covering her forehead with a piece of rag soaked in water. Hearing her murmurs, she couldn't help sighing, "It's another poor person who doesn't know the truth." What kind of hardships did you encounter to end up in this field?"

A twelve or thirteen-year-old child leaning against the bed seemed a little annoyed, and was about to speak, but Dong Rong woke up with a yell.

"Pillar!"

The middle-aged man trembled in fright, and couldn't help shouting, "You've been shouting for two days, and you still won't let anyone rest!"

Dong Rong stared blankly at the dark ship planks in front of her for a long while before she finally came to her senses. The memories of the previous accident gradually came to her mind, and tears came to her eyes immediately, "Zhuzi, no, I want go find..."

"Girl, you are sick, so don't move around!" The old lady gave her little grandson a hard look, then helped Dong Rong to sit up, and gently persuaded, "Although the old lady doesn't know how you got into trouble, But now that you have managed to pick up a life, you must cherish it. As long as there is still life, it will get better."

Dong Rong's body was really weak, she only moved her body a moment ago, and now she was dizzy, so she leaned back on the head of the bed and asked in a low voice, "Ma'am, where is this? You rescued me in the sea. Me? Have... ever saved another wounded person?"

The old lady looked at Dong Rong's eyes full of hope. Although she couldn't bear it, she shook her head and replied, "No, I only saw you floating on the sea the day before yesterday, and there was no one else."

Dong Rong really didn't want to believe the news, she tried her best to shake the old lady's hand, and asked, "Ma'am, think about it carefully, did you really not save others? My husband has a chest injury, he is tall and handsome... "

But the middle-aged man snorted coldly, "You are so rude. To save you, my grandmother gave all the family jade pendants to those officials. Not only did you not thank you, how could you complain..."

The old lady stared and scolded her little grandson, "Yao Ze, shut up, how can you scold the patient carelessly?"

The half-child curled his lips, as if a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to continue speaking.

The old lady turned her head and apologized to Dong Rong, "Girl, my grandson is still young and ignorant, so don't be fussy with him."

Dong Rong also reluctantly accepted her sadness at this moment, bowed her head to salute the old lady, and said in a low voice, "I was impolite just now, and I haven't thanked aunt for saving her life. Auntie, where is this, this little brother just now Speaking of official missions, could it be that this is an official boarding ship?"

When the old lady heard the words, a look of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she finally replied with a sigh, "This is an official ship sent by the government to distribute criminals, and the destination is Yazhou, the southernmost state in Daqi."

"Prisoner?" Dong Rong opened her eyes wide in astonishment, and asked, "What happened to the aunt's family, and how did you get sent here?"
