Volume 2, Chapter 171: Reason

After Shangguan's observation over the past few days, Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yue did not appear to be farmers from poor families. Their speech and behavior showed that they were well-educated, and they had a pampered upbringing since they were young.

Shangguan was shocked when he saw Dongming Ziyu today. The innate dignity and majesty of a superior person in him and the chill from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood made him feel invisible pressure like a huge wave. Come on, I can't help but feel awe in my heart.

Dongming Ziyu's deep and sharp eyes fell on him, "Is this Shangguan, an old gentleman?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Yes, he helped the shop a lot."

Shangguan regained his composure and said with a smile: "It's not really a help. I'm just paying for medicine, food and accommodation."

Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly and walked into the backyard.

Dalang was sorting out the things he had brought back from the capital, packing everything he was going to take home into a box. When he saw Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli coming, he stopped what he was doing and said hello, "Fourth uncle, fourth aunt Son."

Shangguan Ruoli saw that there was red silk among those things and joked: "Is this prepared for the bride?"

Dalang's face turned red and he smiled shyly: "The silks in the capital have more varieties than we have here, so I bought two pieces."

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Then let's go back tomorrow and tidy up for the day. It's time to celebrate the dowry."

Da Ya said happily: "Then, who can I leave the affairs in the shop to?"

Although there was a family of servants, there still had to be a boss, and several wives were hired as part-time workers.

Shangguan Ruoli turned his eyes and said, "How about I invite Mr. Shangguan..."

"No, no." Shangguan Shi's voice sounded from behind, "The old man wants to follow you to Dongzhou Village. Isn't it said that there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and there are young apprentices to serve him? Maybe I can teach them to feel their pulse."

These days, he also realized that although Shangguan Ruoli knew many novel and superb medical skills, his ability to feel the pulse was average.

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes lit up, but he reluctantly said: "Then... okay."

She was worried about taking care of Dongming Ziyu and her two children by herself, and there was no one to teach her six apprentices at home.

A proud smile appeared on Shangguan's fat, round face, and he knew that he was very smart!

Dongming Ziyu went to the yard of the Qianlima Express Station next door through the small door on the wall and asked a lame man who was missing an arm, "Where is your manager Qin?"

The man said respectfully: "It's in the shop in front."

He was a retired wounded soldier. Because he was disabled, he could not farm, and he had no skills. He spent all his pension money and lived a miserable life. It was this Dong Youfu who established the Qianlima Express Station and suggested recruiting retired people. The soldiers came to work, gave them a way to support their families, and also made them realize that they were no longer useless waste.

Dongming Ziyu found Qin Heng and said, "Manager Qin, please take a step to speak."

"Okay, please come this way." Qin Heng motioned to the room where he was working.

Dongming Ziyu said straight to the point: "I have something I want you to find someone to inquire about in the capital."

Qin Heng looked solemn and asked, "Please tell me."

Dongming Ziyu said: "An old man named Shangguan came to the dim sum shop. He claimed to be a doctor who opened a medicine shop and came from the capital. From what I saw, he looked like a pampered old man. I wonder if anyone in the capital has lost me? "

Qin Heng found it funny, "I heard what they said. Mr. Shangguan is quite famous in the capital. His eldest son is the dean of Taiyuan Hospital. He runs a pharmacy called Xinglintang, which is the most famous medical clinic."

Dongming Ziyu asked: "How is your virtue?"

Qin Hengdao: "It is said that he has high moral character, superb medical skills, and a kind heart. However, he has a strange temper, is moody and willful, does not follow the rules, and does not like to be restrained. Otherwise, he would have ended up in Tai Hospital a long time ago."

Dongming Ziyu rolled his eyes, "Do you know anything else related to Shangguan? Tell me."

"I have only been in the capital for a short time, so I only know these superficial things." Qin Heng thought for a moment, "Oh, by the way, the Shangguan family is related by marriage to the Gu family in the capital. Shangguan's eldest granddaughter is the wife of the crown prince of Nan'an. Gu

Ling Yun's eldest aunt, Gu Fujun's cousin-in-law."

Thinking of the grudge between Gu Fujun and the dim sum shop, he added: "In other words, Gu Fujun's father and the Marquis of Nan'an are cousins."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes turned slightly, guessing the whole story.

Gu Lingyun looked a little strange when he saw Shangguan Ruoli, she must have thought she looked like his aunt. When he got home, he told his wife, the Marquis of Nan'an, to her family, and then Shangguan came to investigate."

Asked: "Have you heard that the Shangguan family has lost people, uh, lost daughters, granddaughters, etc.?"

Qin Heng thought for a while and said: "I have never heard of it. The loss of a female family member in the family should be a secret matter. After all, it is related to the honor of the female family member. Shall I ask the brothers in the capital to check?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "No, I know this is enough. Thank you."

Qin Heng said: "Master Dong is too polite."

The two had already discussed the upcoming work arrangements on the road, and had nothing else to say, so Dongming Ziyu said goodbye and came back.

Shangguan Ruoli cooked grilled fish and came out of the kitchen carrying an iron plate.

Dongming Ziyu took the tray and softly briefly explained what he had inquired about with Qin Heng.

When Shangguan Ruoli heard this, he guessed the reason why Shangguan came here. It was estimated that the original owner was related to Shangguan's family. Knowing that he had a good reputation, he relaxed his guard for the most part.

After eating grilled fish, everyone started to pack their luggage and set off back early tomorrow morning.

In the afternoon, Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruo left to pick up their two children. Wulang and Gu Ran came out chatting and laughing. When they saw Dongming Ziyu, the little girl's voice reached its highest pitch: "Dad! My dad is back! Daddy."

!”

He raised his little arms and swooped over like a little swallow. Somehow, the grievances of being beaten and bullied these days flashed through his mind, and he cried involuntarily.

"Dad, dad! Woohoo, you're back!"

Dongming Ziyu bent down, stretched out his arms, greeted his son, and picked him up.

Wulang hugged his neck, buried his head on his shoulder, and sobbed: "Dad! Wulang misses you so much!"

Dongming Ziyu's heart softened, and he patted his back gently with his big hand, "My dear son, you have done well these days."

Wulang raised his head from his shoulder, not caring about crying anymore, and looked at him with his big watery eyes, "Really? Mom told you?"

Dongming Ziyu wiped his face with a handkerchief, "Yes, I said you are sensible. You take care of your mother and sister, do housework, and work harder at practicing and studying."

Wulang received the praise, his face flushed, and he smiled, "I can do better in the future."

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile, "I will remember these words!"

Gu Ran looked at their happy family, feeling envious and lonely at the same time. The young man stepped forward and saluted: "My nephew, Gu Ran, has met Uncle Dong. He has admired his name for a long time. I met him today. He is indeed an extraordinary person."

Dongming Ziyu was funny, "What's my name?"
