happy event

Chapter 265
Zique happened to come in from the outside with the wash water, and laughed when she heard this, "Madam is really snoring, I want to wake Madam, but Madam Cao won't let me."

Mrs. Liang didn't argue any more, she went down to the ground with Dong Rong talking and laughing, just after washing, Dabao woke up, and then took care of him to wash his face and change his clothes. The top of the East Mountain.

In this way, Dong Rong accompanied the Liang family's convoy, helped take care of Dabao during the day, made some porridge and soup, and slept with Mrs. Liang at night, and the days passed very quickly.At first, she was worried, fearing that the Maitreya Sect would come after her again, but she got farther and farther away from Binzhou, and this little worry was forgotten.

Going out, if anything else is tolerable, the only most inconvenient thing is three meals a day.Originally, the Liang family team would buy more dry biscuits and stuff them with water in the morning and noon, and if they stayed in a big inn at night, they would have hot meals to eat.But if there is a little delay and miss the place, then you can only continue to eat dry biscuits.

Dong Rong traveled with the convoy for a few days. Occasionally, when she was making porridge for Dabao at noon, she heard that a driver had diarrhea from drinking raw water, his face was pale, and he suffered a lot.So I spoke a few words with Mrs. Liang, and took over the job of the team chef.Although the Liang family is not rich and powerful, they have been in business for many years and their family background is still very strong.Mrs. Liang is not mean, if everyone in the motorcade eats better and takes care of their mother and child, they will be happy on their way home.

Dong Rong gets up half an hour early every day, boils a big pot of rice porridge, adds some potato cubes or dried vegetables, shredded pork, and less salt, and even has rice and vegetables. With a piece of dry biscuit, it is enough to make the stomach bigger The coachman is also full.When I stopped for a rest at noon, I immediately stewed the vegetables. I added two cabbages or half a pot of radish cubes to the thick bone soup that I had cooked the night before. It was delicious without delaying my work.Everyone ate hot, and when they went on the road, let alone a little bit of cold, even fighting against the wind and snow would not be a problem.

The most important thing is that after the diet is regular, no one has any troubles anymore, and they don't find it hard to drive more than ten miles a day.

Of course, Mrs. Liang and Dabao's meals were more delicately prepared.Zi Que is smart, she has been fighting with Dong Rong, but she has learned a lot.

More than ten days have passed in a flash, and the city wall of Luozhou can be seen faintly. Everyone in the Liang family couldn't help cheering, and the coachman whipped his whip even more urgently. He made up his mind to advance before dark. City home.

But Mrs. Liang, who was sitting in the car fiddling with needlework, fell silent strangely, her two thin eyebrows furrowed, as if there was endless melancholy hidden in her heart.Dong Rong saw it by chance, and although she didn't know the reason, she didn't want her to look like this, so she hugged Dabao and teased her, "Bao'er, you're going home. Auntie has to go on her way, what should I do, Auntie can't see you?" You, I will miss you. Why don't you be your aunt's son and go with your aunt, okay?"

Dabao has just turned one year old, and he can barely tell the joy and anger of those close to him, so how can he understand these words.Not only was he not sad, but he picked up the teacup on the small coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth, which made Dong Rong giggle, and quickly hugged him back, pulling off the handkerchief to wipe his saliva while complaining, "You greedy man!" Eat boy, are you hungry again? Auntie will cook yam porridge for you later."

Xu Shi heard Dong Rong talk about leaving, and Mrs. Liang, who had been in a daze, finally came back to her senses, and said very reluctantly, "Sister Cao, why did you suddenly say that you wanted to leave? We will be companions all the way, and we will soon arrive at our house , at least I have to stay for two more days.”

Dong Rong raised Dabao high, teasing him to kick his calves to exercise, and said with a smile, "No, sister, I still have some things to do, so I can't delay. Besides, you just came home with Dabao, so there must be a lot of things to do." Busy, I won't trouble you anymore."

"Sister, what did you say? It's our mother and son who are causing you trouble." Madam Liang stepped forward anxiously and took Dong Rong's hand, half coquettishly half pleadingly, "Sister, you said it all, I just said There are a lot of things to be busy at home, and Dabao is naturally left unattended, so you don’t want Dabao to suffer. You just put on a little weight, and maybe you will lose weight in a few days. Sister, take care of me and stay with me for a few more days Day, okay? When the time comes, I will send people to the escort agency and the chariot shop to inquire, and if there is a caravan on the way, I will send my sister away. Okay?"

Dong Rong's heart softened when she heard that, and she saw anxiety and panic in Mrs. Liang's expression, so she thought for a while and replied, "Well, I'll just keep bothering my sister for a few more days."

"Oh, don't bother me, don't bother me! Thank you, sister!" Madam Liang was very happy when she heard that, she reached out and touched her son's little head, and said with a smile, "Thank you aunt, Dabao. If there is no aunt to take care of you, neither mother nor you You know how much you have to suffer."

Dabao didn't know whether he understood his mother's words or it was a coincidence, but he turned his head and kissed Dong Rong on the cheek.Dong Rong was surprised and delighted by this, and felt that her heart was about to melt into a puddle of water.

"Dabao is so good. Even if my aunt has something big to do, she will stay with you for a few more days." Dong Rong did get along very well with Mrs. Liang's mother and son during the journey, and was grateful to them for taking care of her whereabouts. If she didn't know, that's fine. Now that he has guessed some problems, he can't just let it go.While coaxing the child, she secretly thought about what troubled Mrs. Liang, and she just didn't have a clue in the end.

However, it didn't take long for her doubts to be resolved.

Luozhou is located in the middle of Daqi, with a pleasant climate and rich products. The life of the people is obviously much better than other places.As the center of a prefecture, Fucheng is naturally very prosperous. When the Liang family's convoy rushed outside the city gate, the sun was about to set on the horizon, and two soldiers were about to close the city gate.The little steward of the Liang family rushed forward and stuffed a piece of silver, so the convoy went straight into the city without checking.

The horseshoe stepped on the bluestone road, turned left and went down the main street, and turned two more times to the old house of the Liang family in Beicheng.The little steward sitting on the shaft of the car jumped out of the car at the entrance of the alley, trotted to the front of the mansion, and called the family to come out to meet the mistress first.However, seeing the dilapidated appearance in front of the door at first glance scared him to swallow the words that rushed to his lips.

Obviously, when they left, the front door of the house had just been painted with new paint, and the lintel was also replaced with a new plaque. There was no trace of dust from the street sweeping in front of the door. The side door was always open during the day, and there was a porter drinking tea inside to serve In the evening, four red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the corridor, and the courtyard was brightly lit, not to mention how happy it was.

But now, the main entrance and the side doors are all closed tightly, the lanterns are gone, and the plaque on the door seems to have been knocked crooked by something. Two sparrows took advantage of it and built a warm nest.The street in front of the door was even more dusty, and the fallen leaves swirled by the cold wind covered his head and face.Is this still the wealthy Liang Mansion? Could it be that he has gone the wrong way?

Just as the steward was in a daze, the motorcade also rushed to the door. Mrs. Liang raised the cotton curtain on the car window, changed her expression after only one glance, and said loudly, "Knock on the door!"

"Hey, yes, ma'am!" The little steward came to his senses, and hurried forward to slap the door knocker, "Who is at home, hurry up and open the door, madam and young master are back, open the door to greet you!"

It took him a full quarter of an hour to beat, before he heard someone rushing over from the courtyard shouting, "Who is it, why are you knocking, it's called a soul!"

"Squeak!" The two doors seemed to have not been filled with oil for many years, and they made a toothache sound, and they were finally pulled open from inside.An old man whose hair was disheveled and his eyes were covered with gum was revealed in front of people.He probably didn't expect so many people outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Oh, it's Madam who is back! Madam, you are back!"

The old man ran out of the gate as soon as he spoke, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Liang who had just got off the car.Mrs. Liang frowned even deeper, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Qian, aren't you guarding the back door? Why did you come here? Where's the concierge at home?"

The old man wiped his eye poo, and replied with a bitter face, "Madam, the boys in the concierge have all run away, and this old slave is now watching all the doors in the house. That's it, I'm afraid it won't be long."

"What do you mean by that, master, is master at home?"

"Oh, the master is drinking in the backyard, this slave is going to report to the master." The old man got up and was about to walk into the yard, but Mrs. Liang stopped him and said, "No need, Uncle Chamber, I'll go in first, you open the door quickly Let the carriage come in, and let the kitchen boil water for everyone to wash off the dust."

Mrs. Liang was talking, and holding Zique's hand, she hurried to the backyard.Xu Shi saw that the mistress returned, and the old money boss also became energetic, opened the door of the mansion and yelled loudly for everyone to drive into the mansion.The neighbors of the two next-door neighbors probably heard the movement, and some people stretched their heads out to have a look, and quickly shrank their heads back.

Sitting in the car, Dong Rong coaxed Dabao and opened the curtain to look at the front yard of the Liang family. It was obvious that the Liang family had a solid foundation. The house was very spacious and well-built. Without losing the atmosphere of the Central Plains.Not to mention anything else, only the front yard where the horses are parked is covered with carved floor tiles, and there are also two painted pottery vats in front of the vertical flower gate. It must be interesting to move two new lotuses and raise two red carps in summer. And beautiful.

It's a pity, I just don't know if the master will still have such interest next spring.

Thinking of this, she patted the ignorant Dabao in her arms, feeling even more sympathetic.There were a lot of people in the convoy, and the other two carriages were quickly unloaded. Because no one came out to greet them in the inner courtyard, and the child could not be exposed to the wind, Dong Rong could only sit in the carriage with Dabao in his arms.

After waiting for a while, the sound of weeping could be heard faintly from the inner courtyard, and everyone frowned upon hearing it, and some of them stretched their necks out of curiosity to look inside the hanging flower gate.Fortunately, the little steward was a formidable one. He ordered everyone to sit in the porter's room to rest, and then went to urge the woman in the large kitchen across the courtyard to boil water quickly.
