Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After coming out of the medical clinic, Dong Jiafu stopped by Tian's house and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Mrs. Tian. She looked at her and the people behind her and said, "What are you..."

"Aunt Tian, ​​is Sister-in-law Tian at home?" Dong Jiafu asked.

"Here," Mrs. Tian turned to call directly, "Boss, my wife, the one from next door is looking for you——"

"Here we come -" Sister-in-law Tian's voice came from inside the house.

Aunt Tian's voice called out a lot of people, and not long after, Sister-in-law Tian, ​​Tian Xiaojuan, Tian Dali, and two children all came out.

"Miss Dong, are you looking for me?" Sister-in-law Tian approached and saw so many people around her that she had suspicions.

Dong Jiafu nodded, "Sister-in-law Tian, ​​I'm leaving tomorrow, so I came to say hello to you."

"So soon?" Sister-in-law Tian looked behind her, "Are they your lost family members?"

"I am Afu's mother," Xu Yiwan said softly, "I heard that Afu learned her cooking skills from you, and your family has also done a lot of things for her. Thank you so much for taking care of her. .”

Sister-in-law Tian hurriedly said: "Madam, you're welcome. They are all neighbors. It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning."

Xu Yiwan handed over the cakes she bought on the road, "Give these snacks to the children."

"How embarrassing that is."

"It's a little thought, please accept it." Xu Yiwan handed the thing to Sister-in-law Tian.

The kindness was hard to refuse, so Sister-in-law Tian took it and said, "Then I'll thank you madam on behalf of the two children."

"Will Miss Dong never come back after leaving this time?" Tian Dali said eagerly.

Dong Jiafu replied: "I will come back to visit the master."

"Oh." Tian Dali asked but didn't know what to say.

.

It was Sister-in-law Tian who took over the conversation, "If you come to Qing Dynasty in the future, Miss Dong might as well come over and sit down if you have time."

"I've written it down," Dong Jiafu said, "Then we'll go back first."

"Hey, okay, I wish you a safe journey tomorrow."

"Sister-in-law, take care of yourself too."

After Dong Jiafu and the others left, Aunt Tian closed the door, turned around and whispered, "I didn't expect that girl's parents look quite decent."

"Mom said before that I am not blessed, but now you see, it is not that I am not blessed, it is your son and I who are not blessed." Tian Dali muttered with a downcast face.

Tian Xiaojuan snorted, "Second brother hasn't given up yet. Even if she doesn't find her family, she won't fall in love with you. Didn't you see the man who keeps running to her these days? It's not me who can compare to you." of."

"What are you talking about?" Tian Dali glared at her displeased.

"You still don't admit it?" Tian Xiaojuan glared back, "Then why did you just ask her if she would come back?"

"I... I just asked casually."

"Only you believe this."

"Okay, why are you two arguing?" Mrs. Tian frowned and interrupted the two of them, "I have long seen that the one next door will not stay with us for a long time. She is not something that a small place like Linqing can keep. The people living there, let alone our family, can do whatever they have to do.”

Since they are going back to Yangzhou together tomorrow, Dong Jingtang and the other two will also stay in Linqing County tonight.

There was only one bedroom in Dong Jiafu's courtyard, so Dong Jingtang said, "Tonight we will follow Ji Yuan to the inn where he lives."

"You go, I want to stay with Afu." Xu Yiwan held Dong Jiafu's hand and wouldn't let go.

"This..." Dong Jing

Tang raised his eyes and asked, "Afu, what do you think?"

"Since mother wants to stay, of course I will." Dong Jiafu said without hesitation.

"Well, you two, mother and daughter, can talk and keep company in the evening, and we, the three of you, will go to the inn. We will pick you up early tomorrow morning."

Dong Jiafu sent them out, and when she came back, she and Xu Yiwan simply cooked some noodles.

After nightfall, Xu Yiwan took Dong Jiafu to the bed to talk and asked her many things about her stay in the capital.

Dong Jiafu picked up some happy things and told her.

The two of them exchanged words with each other, and chatted until late at night without realizing it.

Dong Jiafu saw that the time was almost up, but Xu Yiwan seemed to still have something to say, so she persuaded: "Mother, you came here all night, you must be exhausted, why don't you rest tonight, we will have plenty of time to talk slowly in the future."

After hearing this, Xu Yiwan yawned unconsciously, "That's right. We have to go on a journey tomorrow morning, so let's sleep first."

Dong Jiafu waited for her to lie down and went down to extinguish the candle. She returned to bed and thought about what happened that day, feeling a lot of emotions. Suddenly there were four more close relatives, which seemed to be a good feeling.

The next day, the two got up early, and soon after freshening up, they met Dong Jingtang and the others.

Dong Jiafu packed the package, stood outside the door and took one last look at the small courtyard where she had lived for several months. She locked the door, got on the carriage, and headed to the place she could call "home" here.

The carriage traveled all day and did not arrive at the house until dark.

After getting out of the car, Xu Yiwan took Dong Jiafu's hand and walked inside.

"Afu, do you still remember it? Before you were five years old, our family lived here."

Dong Jiafu looked at it through the light in the house. The house looked like this

It doesn't look big, but it shows vitality everywhere. It must have been renovated.

Naturally, she had no impression of this place and could only shake her head slightly.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it. We don't think about it anymore." Xu Yiwan comforted.

At this time, a woman in green clothes ran out from inside. When she saw her, she burst into tears, "Girl... wuwu——"

Dong Jiafu asked blankly: "Mother, who is this?"

Without waiting for Xu Yiwan to answer, the woman sobbed: "Don't you recognize me, girl? I am Xia Zhi, and I have been serving you since I was a child."

Following her came two more people, a man and a woman in their forties, and a young man in his twenties.

"The master and his wife have brought the girl back!" The three of them looked at Dong Jiafu with equally excited expressions.

Xu Yiwan introduced Dong Jiafu one by one, "This is Butler Sun and Mother Guo, that is Maofeng, their son, and Xia Zhi is their daughter."

"Mother Guo came here as a dowry with me. When something happened to our family, I asked her family to leave the house. It wasn't until we returned to Yangzhou that they came back."

Mother Guo lowered her head and wiped her tears, "The girl is still the same as before. It's great to be able to come back safely."

Dong Jingtang came over and said, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it later. After a long day of traveling, Afu must be hungry too. Prepare the food. Let's go change clothes and go there."

"Yes, sir."

Butler Sun went outside to arrange the carriage, while Guo's mother and Maofeng went to the kitchen.

"Xia Zhi, has the girl's room been tidied up?" Xu Yiwan asked.

Xia Zhi nodded repeatedly, "It's ready. Madam and girl, let's go take a look."

"Afu, let's go, I'll take you there

your room. "Xu Yiwan pulled Dong Jiafu and continued walking inside.
