1776 Close the door
Wang Gang sat alone in front of the bonfire, twenty feet away was the Li family's carriage.
The thief's bodies have been piled up in one place, covered with plants and trees, waiting for the people from the government to come and inspect tomorrow.
Wang Gang took out a sheepskin water bag from his luggage, but it contained wine.
He has been in this world for two years. Wang Gang has been an official on the border of the Song Dynasty. This time, he was transferred back to Kaifeng because of his contribution to defending the city. For the next period of time, he may have to live in Bianjing.
Wang Gang used to deceive Niang Li. He did not pass by here, but followed the Li family.
Taking out the paper and pen, Wang Gang wrote the sentence "The Li family's mother and daughter are safe", then rolled up the paper and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube.
Wang Gang immediately had a small bird cage with a carrier pigeon inside. He tied the bamboo tube to the legs of the carrier pigeon and let it fly directly.
"My Lord Wang, my mother asked me to bring some scones." A call made Wang Gang turn around.
Wang Gang looked at the Qiongnu in front of him and smiled, "Your name is Qiongnu?"
Qiongnu said in surprise: "How can Lord Wang know my name?"
Wang Gang explained: "I just heard the wife of the Li family call you."
Qiongnu suddenly realized that he put the scones on the stone and did not dare to have too much contact with Wang Gang.
She was not afraid of Wang Gang, but the social atmosphere in this era was like this, and unmarried men and women had to be five meters away from each other's words.
"Please use it slowly, Lord Wang."
"Thank you, Niang Li, for me." Wang Gang replied.
Qiongnu nodded silently, returning to the Li family carriage as if he was prepared.
Wang Gang picked up a scone and took a bite.
"The taste is actually good, and I have honey." Wang Gang was comfortable eating the scones and drinking wine.
After returning to the carriage, Qiongnu replied to Niang Li: "Mom, the scones have been given to Lord Wang."
Niangzi Li said, "Okay, I understand, you should have dinner too! We will stay in the wilderness tonight, and you and your servants take turns to work to ensure that the fire is not extinguished."
Qiongnu said honestly: "Okay, I'll go have a meal with the servants."
Sanniang Kang Ning said at this time: "Sister Qiongnu, you can get in the car and eat too!"
Jonnu shook his head and said, "No need, I have something to ask my servants to do."
"Don't rush to finish your meal first, then go there."
Qiongnu hesitated for a moment, and finally got on the carriage and had a meal with the Li family. However, she was obviously more careful when eating, and even helped Li Niangzi serve tea and water, which was no different from the servants.
Sanniang Kangning wanted to get close to him several times, but Qiongnu deliberately pretended to be stupid and always kept a sense of distance.
Qiongnu knew very well that Niang Li didn't like her, so she didn't dare to breathe in front of her.
There was nothing wrong all night. In the morning, after Wang Gang finished feeding the horse, Qiongnu took some dry food for him to eat.
Not long after, the officials arrived. Wang Gang took out his transfer order document to indicate his identity, communicated with the officials, and quickly explained the matter clearly.
The government transported the thief's bodies away. For Wang Gang's sake, he helped the Li family find a reliable coachman so that they could continue on the road.
Wang Gang promised Niang Li to go on the road together and took care of each other.
In the next two days, everyone was shocked and finally arrived in Bianjing.
Seeing the city walls of Bianjing from afar, Wang Gang's face looked a little strange. Last time he arrived in Bianjing of the Song Dynasty, he was still aware of the world. Not only did he use the emperor to command the princes, but his son finally usurped the Zhao family.
Now Wang Gang is a small official under the command of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. He doesn’t know how his parents are in this life are now.
When several ladies from the Li family saw Bianjing, they were also excited, especially Wu Niang, who wanted to jump off the carriage and take a good look at the world's number one city.
Niangzi Li stopped her daughter, and then walked out of the carriage and communicated with Wang Gang.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for sending you all the way."
"You are polite, just follow the way." Wang Gang smiled and said, "Since I have arrived at the place, I will also go to the Ministry of Personnel to report, so let's leave."
"Sir Wang, where do you live? I will definitely come to the door with a gift to thank you if you have the chance in the future." said Niangzi Li.
"You don't need to be polite. If Niang Li has any needs, you can go to Kaifeng Prefecture to find me. I will be transferred to Kaifeng Prefecture to serve as the Left Army Patrolman when I come back this time."
After Wang Gang finished speaking, she led the horse away, and Niang Li was still a little reluctant to leave. If Wang Gang hadn't had the highest status in the family, she would have to catch this son-in-law no matter what.
Niang Li returned to the carriage and then asked the coachman to drive to the Fan family.
The Fan family and the Li family are in-laws. The second daughter of Li Niangzi, Fuhui, married into the Fan family in her early years, and the mother and daughter have been in communication for many years.
But what Niang Li didn't expect was that when she arrived at the gate of the Fan family, she was turned away.
Not only was the Fan family not around, but his daughter Fuhui was also avoided.
The Fan family butler is still sarcastic.
"My Lady Li, my master is not here, I dare not let you in. If the master comes back and punishes me, I can't afford it."
After saying that, the butler saw the horse in front of the Li family's carriage, pulled it a little, and was furious and shouted to the servant:
"Clean the door clean quickly and don't get rid of the eyes of the master and the mistress."
Standing in front of the Fan family gate, Niangzi Li was angry and angry, with frost on his face.
Sanniang Kangning found someone flashing through the crack in the Fan family's gate. Look at his figure, it looks a bit similar to his second sister Fuhui.
"Mom, since she is not here, let's go back first and come back another day!" Sanniang Kang Ning walked to her mother and comforted her.
"Okay, let's go!" Niangzi Li snorted coldly and said, "My Li family has never been able to gain power and wealth."
After saying that, Niang Li was still angry and slapped the butler with his backhand, making the butler confused.
"Hmph! My surname and I are in-laws after all, and it's not your turn to be a servant who is sarcastic!"
The housekeeper knew that he was in the wrong and dared not stimulate Niang Li anymore. This slap was considered useless.
Niangzi Li looked at the door coldly and shouted: "No matter how poor my Li family is, I will never come to the Fan family even if I beg for food."
After saying that, Niang Li turned around and walked onto the carriage.
"Mom, where are we going now!" Si Niang Haode asked carefully.
"Let's settle in the inn first!" said the old lady Shouhua, "I think the second sister avoids her. There must be another hidden secret. We'll come back later."
Niangzi Li snorted coldly, "What's the secret? My daughter refused to even meet her biological mother, so I gave birth to a jealous wolf!"
The old lady Shouhua said carefully: "Mom, it's too early to draw a conclusion now. I'd better wait until I settle down and ask about the situation of the Fan family."
Si Niang Haode said in confusion: "We have just arrived in Bianjing and are not familiar with the place, so who should we ask for inquiries?"
Wu Niang Leshan immediately shouted: "It's better for us to go find Lord Wang. He is kind-hearted and will definitely help us."
"No." The old lady Shouhua immediately interrupted: "We met Lord Wang by chance. It is already a great kindness for him to protect us from coming to Bianjing. How can we bother him even with family affairs?"
Sanniang Kang Ning nodded and said, "My elder sister is right. We are not close to Lord Wang, so we should not disturb him anymore."
Niangzi Li listened to the discussions of her daughters and said upset: "Let me find the inn to rest first, and let Qiongnu go to the Fan family alone tonight. No matter what, I have to see Erniang."
After all, it was a mother and daughter. Niangzi Li was angry and realized that his second daughter might not have lived in her in-laws' house, otherwise the reason why her in-laws would never be able to come in and would not be allowed to enter.
"I will go with Qiongnu tonight." Sanniang Kangning said.
The Li family carriage slowly drove away from the door of Fan's house, and the door quietly opened. A beautiful woman with luxurious clothes looked at the carriage and went away, and her eyes were wet.
