Chapter 33 Dongjiazhuang Riverside

Chapter 33 Dongjiazhuang by the river

The decision had been made, and there was nothing to do with the county governments on both sides. Xie Hong informed Fang Jin and went home to prepare.

When he arrived at Ping'anfang, Xie Hong saw a carriage parked in front of his house. He had some impression of the carriage, which seemed to be the one sent by Dong Ping last time. When he got closer, Xie Hong became even more sure because a fat man was transferred from behind the carriage, which was the housekeeper Dong.

Butler Dong smiled and bowed to the ground, saying, "Mr. Xie is back. The villain came to visit your mansion after the order of the head of the family."

Visiting? This excuse is not very clever. Xie Hong shook his head and smiled: "Butler Dong, tell me honestly, it's not that Brother Dong has encountered any problems, right?"

Butler Dong was surprised. When he came, he found out some rumors and heard some sneer. He felt that Xie Hong had just seen the secret technique of iron smelting in the classics, which made the master fascinated, but he didn't expect that he would be revealed as soon as he met. This Lord Xie really had some tricks. He thought about it in his heart, and his expression became even more respectful.

He smiled embarrassedly and said, "My wise man, but he can't hide it. I just don't know how my master is facing a problem?"

Xie Hong smiled and said, "It's so easy to guess." Dong Ping's workaholic temperament may not care about anything when he studies it. Not to mention people visiting him, even if someone visits him, he may not be able to see anyone."

Since he sent someone, he either succeeded or encountered difficulties. If he succeeded, Xie Hong probably would have come by himself; now he is a housekeeper, so he naturally encountered difficulties. Xie Hong still knows a craftsman like himself.

"What does Brother Dong mean?" Xie Hong asked replies without answering.

"The owner of my manor wants to ask Lord Xie to move to my manor. If it is convenient for me..." Butler Dong said, while secretly looking at Xie Hong's face.

"It's okay if I go there, but my house..." Xie Hong was also thinking in his heart that it would be nice to go to the Dong family, which is more secretive. If he implements the plan at home, it's hard to guarantee that the news will not be leaked. But he can leave, what should mother and Qing'er do?

"Sir, are you worried about the old lady and the lady?" Butler Dong looked good and asked Xie Hong tentatively. Seeing that Xie Hong did not object, he continued: "Sir, the old lady's sick villain has also seen similar people. When an older person gets sick, in addition to seeking medical treatment, he also needs to take good care of him. However, the mansion... seems not suitable in this downtown."

This man is very good at speaking. He does not say that the Xie family is simple, but the environment is not good. Xie Hong also heard what he said was not finished. He looked at the butler playfully and said, "What should he do in the opinion of Butler Dong?"

Seeing that he was not angry, but became a little bolder, Mr. Dong said, "Sir, my village is located on the banks of the Sanggan River. The scenery is quiet and suitable for the elderly to recuperate. My village has enough people and cares more carefully, so as not to make a hard work all day long. Besides, there are people walking everywhere in the Dong family. If the local doctors in Xuanfu are not good, we will invite you from other places."

Although he knew the purpose of Butler Dong's words, he still touched Xie Hong because they were indeed reasonable. Whether it was the environment or the staff, Dongjiazhuang was much better than Xie's family.

What's more, Xie Hong was a little hesitant, afraid that he would not be able to find a doctor after taking revenge on Doctor Gu. After hearing what Mr. Dong said, he was relieved. The medical level of the Ming Dynasty was still very high, otherwise could a miracle doctor be produced? The Dong family had a lot of people and asked around. It was not difficult to find a good doctor, so just get enough money next.

Seeing him showing a deep thoughtful look, Butler Dong knew that Xie Hong was already moved, so he hurriedly beat the drum and said, "Sir, Dongjiazhuang is only more than ten miles away, so there is no need to worry about running around the road. Moreover, the carriage brought by the villain is also very comfortable, so it will definitely not make the old lady feel uncomfortable at all."

Xie Hong had nodded in his last hesitation and nodded and responded: "Then it's time for Butler Dong. When I arrive in Dongjiazhuang, I will thank Brother Dong in person. I will report to my mother first and ask Butler Dong to wait."

"It's okay, don't worry, you'll just go, the villain just wait." Butler Dong smiled like a flower, and kept saying humility.

The family members were easy to say. Qing'er was obedient to Xie Hong, and Erniu also followed the rules. Although he didn't like the Dong family very much, he had no objection. Only Xie's mother was worried about being favored for nothing and was reluctant to leave her old house. Finally, Xie Hong lied that the owner of the Dong Manor was his classmate and invited him to study together, which moved the old man.

Afterwards, Xie Hong went to the yamen to ask for leave. County Magistrate Wang heard that he was seeking medical treatment for his mother, but he did not make any trouble. When Xie Hong reminded Ma Wentao a few more words, the sky was getting even more gloomy when he finally set off. The dark clouds were covering the city, the wind was fierce, and the rain was approaching.

The Sanggan River is still famous in later generations. Someone once wrote a novel, named after this river, and Xie Hong's understanding of this river ended here. Dongjiazhuang is on the bank of the river, and further south is the very famous Zhuolu Mountain. Xie Hong is clear about this place, which was the place where the ancestors of China defeated Chiyou.

The carriage arranged by the Dong family was very good. Although he was walking along the way, Xie's mother and Qing'er didn't feel any running around. Xie Hong asked several times and said it was okay. When he arrived at Dongjiazhuang, he felt even more relieved. At this time, it was getting darker, but fortunately the heavy rain had not yet fallen.

Dong Ping was overjoyed when he heard that Xie Hong was coming. As soon as the group entered the village, he came out. It was rare. He did not rush to ask Xie Hong for advice. Instead, he arranged a banquet to wash everyone's dust, and arranged a staff in the house.

Since he was here, Xie Hong was not pretending to be polite. He accepted everything except the cost of seeking a doctor, and just wanted to make up for it slowly in the future. Dong Ping was very happy to see his promise. Although he was a child of a noble family, he liked to go straight and not to like the red tape.

Xie Hong was so cheerful and not shy, and it was right for his appetite. This banquet was also full of fun.

The several buildings arranged by the Dong family are quite good, spacious and have a good orientation. However, Xie Hong was surprised that not only did his and Qing'er's rooms be arranged close by, but the rooms of Niu and Erniu are far away, so I don't know what Butler Dong thought about it.

When arranging the room, Qing'er seemed to have something to say, but in the end she didn't say it. Xie Hong just thought that the little girl was worried about her mother and didn't take it too seriously. The Dong family sent a lot of people to take care of her mother, and Xie Hong felt that there was nothing to worry about. Qing'er worked hard every day and should have a rest.

Xie Hong didn't know that Qing'er was his adopted daughter, and Mr. Dong had already investigated clearly in Beizhuang County. When the butler saw that Xie Hong refused the maid sent to serve, he thought it wrongly. This kind of thing was very common for wealthy families. Butler Dong naturally thought Xie Hong was the same, so he made such an arrangement.

Of course, these are all details, so he was too lazy to ask for advice. He just went to his mother's side to ask for help, so he went back to his room to organize the tools and prepare the materials.
