happy event

Chapter 255 Eat and dress warmly!
Mr. Liu pointed to the table full of various dishes, and joked, "If you don't call you to help me share some, I'm afraid no one will recognize me when I go ashore and go home. My two young children will definitely say, when I leave It's Daddy, why did you become a fat pig when you came back?"

He made fun of himself like this, which really made Dong Rong giggle.

It's not that the two of them didn't have dinner together before, so Dong Rong was not polite, and sat opposite Liu Sanye after washing her hands.

The two chatted and laughed while eating and drinking. A meal took much longer than usual, but they only ate less than half of the dishes.Dong Rong glanced at the dishes that were still full, and felt a little distressed, secretly thinking that in the future, she would not be able to ignore it and waste food like this.

Seeing her like this, Third Master Liu guessed that his goal had been achieved, so he waved his hand to signal Guanshi Liu to come forward, "Take the leftovers down, and let someone make a pot of good tea."

Manager Liu agreed, turned around and waved to the maid who was guarding the corner to come forward, quickly cleared the table, brought another pot of hot tea and put it on the carved sandalwood table in front of the window.

Holding a small blue and white tea bowl in Dong Rong's hand, drinking tea while looking at the sea and sky in the distance, she turned her head to thank Mr. Liu after a long time.

"Third brother, I know your kindness in inviting me to have dinner together, and I will definitely not be so confused in the future."

Mr. Liu waved his hand indifferently, glanced at her thin face that was not much bigger than a palm, and blamed with a little pity, "these ingredients are not bad on the boat, but I'm afraid that if you are so tired, it will be harmful to your body. I think you After going ashore, there are still many things to be busy, at this time, I am trying to recharge my batteries, so why am I running around all day instead?"

Dong Rong was grateful to him for treating her with sincerity, bowed her head and sincerely thanked, "Thank you for your advice, third brother, I won't do it in the future."

Mr. Liu nodded, thought for a while and asked, "We have known each other for a few months. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Our Liu family is considered to have some power in Daqi. You are a bloody enemy. I Presumably it can help a point or two."

"Third brother." Dong Rong was a little hesitant, but thinking about the situation where her family was fully retreating and the ubiquitous Maitreya followers, she still held back her confession.

"It's not that I don't trust the third brother. It's really important. My enemies are very powerful. It's okay if the third brother is a ranger. I will definitely ask the third brother for help, but there is the Liu family behind the third brother. Suffering, this makes me feel so sorry. Therefore, my sister will never forget the kindness of the third brother in this life. But don't ask, the younger sister's family is now prepared, and it will definitely not be like before It's a loss."

Hearing what she said, Mr. Liu couldn't persuade her anymore, so he could only respond, "Well, I will return to Daqi in about half a month. At that time, if you want to leave, you must tell me. leave suddenly."

"Of course, the third brother is my little sister's great benefactor, how could my little sister do such a disrespectful thing as leaving without saying goodbye?"

The two were chatting and drinking tea, the sea breeze blew gently into the window, shaking the gauze curtain by the window.In the distance, the sea and the sky are connected, the blue is deep and deep, occasionally there are seabirds circling and singing on the side of the ship, and unknown big fish jump out of the sea, everything is so peaceful and quiet.It was rare for Dong Rong to temporarily forget the hatred on her body, and talked to Mr. Liu about those fairy tales about the sea.Mr. Liu was very interesting, and picked up a few interesting things that he had heard. For a while, the two talked enthusiastically.

Sunrise and sunset, [-] days passed in a blink of an eye, and the fleet encountered more and more medium-sized fishing boats, which also indicated that the land was not far away.Dong Rong had already packed up the small parcels, some unused sewing boxes, rouge and gouache, and gave them to the two cooks.She only kept some scraps of silver and two sets of laundry clothes, and she asked Guanshi Liu for a set of blue cloth clothes that the little stewards often wear.

When everyone was cheering because they saw the horizon, she silently wrapped a strip of cloth around her chest, changed into blue cloth underwear, tied a man's hair in a bun, and carried the package behind her back to prepare to disembark.

Mr. Liu probably expected this earlier, and sat waiting in the front cabin. When she came in, he looked up and down carefully for a while, and finally smiled, "No wonder you haven't scratched your eyebrows these days, so it's to dress up as a man .”

Dong Rong imitated the appearance of a young farmer, smiled naively, clasped her fists in salute, and responded in a rough voice, "Brother Liu San, my little brother is about to say goodbye. This journey will be high and long, and there will be a period later."

Mr. Liu laughed, thinking that the two of them had been closer than brothers and sisters in the past few months, he was a little reluctant, and persuaded again, "Sister, why don't you go ashore in Fuzhou with the boat. Our Liu family has been running Fuzhou for many years, and it is the official government. You can talk there too."

Dong Rong shook her head. The more she appreciated the kindness of Mr. Liu for taking care of him all the way, the more she refused to implicate him, "Sir brother needless to say, the younger sister has her own consideration when going ashore here. If something happens at home in the future, My little sister must go to Fuzhou to visit my third brother."

"Well, since you've thought it all over, I won't say much more." Mr. Liu waved his hand, signaling Steward Liu to come forward with a tray.He first picked up a half-foot-long dagger, pulled out the scabbard with a "swish", revealing the cold blade inside, and said seriously, "I also have some guesses about my sister's enemy, you will definitely be in danger if you go here. This dagger is given to you for self-defense, and it may be able to protect you for a while at critical moments."

A look of joy flashed in Dong Rong's eyes, she took it with both hands, turned it over carefully, and praised, "It's really a good knife, so I won't be polite." As she spoke, she closed the dagger, Inserted into the right boot.

Mr. Liu nodded, and took a small cotton wristband from the tray. Small pockets were sewn on the wristband, and some colorful flat porcelain bottles were inserted in the pockets.Dong Rong was curious and asked, "What good thing is this?"

Mr. Liu lifted up the large sleeve of her left arm with his own hands, then tied the wristband on the forearm, and said in a low voice, "The white porcelain bottle contains hemostatic medicine, the green porcelain bottle contains hemostatic powder, and the red porcelain bottle contains It’s red on the crest of a crane, and the blue bottle is the antidote pill. You must remember it well, keep self-defense on the road, and remember not to be kind to women, if there is danger, you would rather kill by mistake than be soft-hearted.”

Dong Rong's nose turned sore, she was silent for a while, then suddenly bent down and saluted, "The third brother has treated you so kindly, my little sister really doesn't know how to repay it."

Mr. Liu hurriedly helped her up, sighed and picked up the last purse on the tray and stuffed it over, saying, "There are still some scattered silver here, you can keep it for money. I don't have anything to ask for, life is a confidant." It's extremely difficult, I just hope you have a safe journey, and if you have free time, I will send someone to Fuzhou to report your safety."

"Yes, third brother, my little sister will never forget."

Dong Rong secretly wiped away tears, tried her best to pretend to be happy and joked, "Third Brother, you always said that you have never done a loss-making business in your life. Now that you are sending medicine and money, you are not afraid that I will not hear from you when I go. It can be regarded as a complete loss."

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe your deal is the biggest deal I've ever dealt with."

The two of them laughed while talking like this. Seeing that the land was getting closer and the sky was getting dark, Dong Rong got off the big boat, took a small boat and went ashore.Mr. Liu stood at the window and saw her waving his hand. He also waved his hand, and finally ordered in a low voice, "Send an order and stop for one night. You will go ashore to inquire in person tomorrow morning. I want to know all the news about Dong's House in the past few months."

Just as Guanshi Liu was about to bow down, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and raised his head and asked, "Could it be that the third master guessed that Mrs. Cao is from the Dong family?"

Third Master Liu nodded, and replied slowly, "Except for that strange woman from the Dong family, I can't think of any other woman who would look like this."

Guanshi Liu thought of his old man who had always regarded Mrs. Dong as his rival, how surprised he would be if he knew this, he couldn't help laughing, and went downstairs to order the boatmen to dock.

Dong Rong didn't know that Mr. Liu had already guessed her real identity, so of course he wouldn't panic even if he knew her.After all, after a few months of acquaintance, she can still clearly distinguish whether Liu Sanye has good intentions or malicious intentions, and she will be grateful for his kindness for the rest of her life even for the protective object given to her when she is parting.

Anzhou Port, as one of the three major ports in Daqi, is also very prosperous.During the day, there is a lot of people, ships come and go, and it is only at night that a little peace is found.However, there are still many pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a hawker sells some snacks and food loudly, and many diners gather in the restaurant, swapping glasses and laughing.

Dong Rong walked all the way from the port to the market, after thinking about it, she chose an inn with a clean and airy appearance, and walked in. The waiter in the shop was squatting at the door with a bowl of noodles, eating and watching the excitement. He poured out a bowl and greeted warmly, "Guest officer, do you want to stay in a hotel or play a top job? We still have several clean and spacious upper rooms in the backyard. The fire in the stove is still on, so you can cook at any time."

Dong Rong smiled and stuffed him with a few pennies, and replied in a rough voice, "It's getting late, of course I have to stay in a hotel. Please ask my second brother to find me a quiet room, and a bowl of braised noodles to cushion my stomach. "

"Okay, guest officer, you come with me!" The young man smiled happily after receiving the reward, took Dong Rong's package in a fawning manner, and greeted him while leading the way, "Guest officer, this is a long journey. come?"

Dong Rong nodded, and replied casually, "Yes, I'm from Binzhou, and I plan to find some seafood dealers to go back and earn some money to support my family."

"Binzhou is a good place. There was an old customer who came there the day before yesterday. It's a pity that he left yesterday. Otherwise, the guest officer could have a company."

"Really, that's a pity."

The two talked, walked all the way through the lobby to the backyard, and finally entered a room in the northwest corner.The house is not big, but it is very clean, Dong Rong is quite satisfied, put the package, and wash her face in the basin in the corner.After sailing for more than three months, what she looked forward to the most was to take a good bath, so the boy brought stewed noodles, and she hurriedly asked for hot water.

The little guy went down with a smile, and soon brought a bucket of hot water and a bucket of cold water.Dong Rong ate well, washed well, and finally felt much better.Lying in bed at night, thinking about what to do tomorrow, and finally fell asleep at some point.
