Chapter 23
In the wind and rain, two figures slowly moved forward.
The old woman glanced at the carriage not far from her, shook her head gently, walked with her back hunched over and muttered, "Son, it's all my mother who has dragged you down. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have suffered this serious crime." She paused for a moment, turned her head and saw the young man with a face covered in rain, his eyes full of love, but with silent pain.
She persuaded the young man to move the bamboo umbrella several times to prevent the young man from getting wet in the rain, but the persuasion was fruitless.
I feel both happy and uncomfortable when I get this good guy.
The young man grinned and reached out to touch the rain on his face, with a calm expression, "Don't worry, my son is strong and strong, so it doesn't stop it. The rain on this hot day is a kind of enjoyment, cool and comfortable in his heart."
"If you are a bastard, you can't feel comfortable getting wet in the rain."
The old woman glared at the young man, and immediately, the young man said timidly.
The young man took a deep breath and said, "It's also because my son is incompetent, which makes my mother suffer after running around me."
The old woman's face showed a proud look and said disapprovingly: "Who dares to say that my son is incompetent? The old woman fought with him with a kitchen knife. My son was young and succeeded. When he was twenty years old, he served as the Gongcao of Jingzhao County and also served as the magistrate of Zheng County. Who is as capable as my son? Shortly after his tenure, my son was promoted to the position of filial piety and honest, and was promoted to the position of Hanzhong Prefecture. Everyone praised and admired and admired."
The young man shook his head and said, "Mother, that's all in the past."
The old woman disagreed even more and said loudly: "What's wrong with the past? No one can deny it."
The young man smiled and did not respond.
The old woman didn't know any nerves, but after a change of the subject, she said in a nagging manner: "The old woman is a person who has half her body and can't live long. It's worth dying with a filial son like you. But there is one thing that is hard to go well. You are at least 26 or 27 people, and you haven't married yet because of the old woman's burden. After settled in Liaodong, you must marry a wife and give birth to blood for the Du family. Only after the Du family has the Du family can the old woman close her eyes to see your father."
"Don't worry, mother, son should comply."
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the young man's face. His family is not easy!
"Ah Yeh!!"
The young man suddenly sneezes, his nose becomes sore, and a little clear snot flows out. His body suddenly feels cold and his whole body shivering. However, the wind and rain suddenly, and the rain dripping on his face instantly washed away his snot.
The old woman's face showed a look of worry and said hurriedly: "Did you suffer from the cold? Oh, I said I would let you hold an umbrella by yourself. The old woman is someone who can't live long. What do you do to take care of me... Quick, hurry, hold an umbrella by yourself to cover up the rain..."
This time, the old woman was so anxious.
The Du family has only one seedling, and it will be difficult to deal with if they get sick.
The young man looked calm, his hand holding the umbrella did not move at all, and continued to hold an umbrella for the old woman, "Don't worry, my mother, my nose is just itchy, it's nothing serious. Let's continue walking, see if there is a village ahead, and find a place to shelter from the rain."
The old woman knew that her son was stubborn and stopped persuading her, and tried to move forward as quickly as possible.
"Two, wait!"
A crisp sound rang in the rain.
The old woman didn't hear the sound, but the young man could hear it clearly. After seeing the person coming, he carefully helped the old woman and stopped, then looked at Xiao Hao, who was walking in a straw raincoat and a straw hat, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?"
Xiao Hao smiled and bowed and said, "The heavy rain is down, which is not conducive to rushing. My young master asked the two of you to take shelter from the carriage. It will not be too late to continue rushing after the heavy rain stops."
A look of gratitude appeared on the young man's face and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, brother, please!"
Xiaohao brought the young man and the old woman to the carriage that Guo Yu and Queen Guo were riding. Xiaohao waved his hand and said, "This young man, this carriage is carried by female family members, and the grandma can have a companion in the carriage."
The young man said gratefully: "The guy is thoughtful and grateful."
At this moment, the young man brought the old woman into the carriage.
He felt even more at ease when he saw two little girls sitting in the carriage. When he came to the carriage where Wang Lei was, the young man took up his bamboo umbrella, first sat on the shaft and squeezed the rain from his clothes dry, and then got into the carriage. Compared to outside the carriage, there was a warm feeling in the carriage. He was cold all over, and he couldn't help sneezing and said apologizing: "It's time to rain, I'm not dressed in a mess, and I hope he can't bear the rude things."
The old man still closed his eyes and rested, and seemed to have not seen anyone coming.
Wang Lei shook his head gently and smiled and said, "Sir's filial piety is moving and moving, which is admirable." Although the person in front of him was not dressed because of the heavy rain, his sword-browed eyebrows and eyes were full of books, and his elegant demeanor was not something that Wang Lei could imitate.
Therefore, Wang Lei respectfully called him Mr.
Seeing that the person coming was chilling, Wang Lei took out a set of clothes, "Mr. I'm soaked all over. I'll inevitably get infected with the cold when I continue wearing soaked clothes. My clothes are too big and not suitable for you to wear. I can only change the old man's clothes for you. I hope Mr. will not dislike you."
The young man took the clothes and shook his head repeatedly and said, "Young Master has given you a place to shelter from the rain. He has given you another set of clothes. He is so compassionate. In Du Ji, Xia Jingzhao, thank you for your help."
Wang Lei was stunned for a moment and said tentatively: "But Du Ji and Du Bohou?"
Du Ji was also stunned and said, "Young Master, do you know me?"
Wang Lei's eyes were filled with smiles, and he said without any haste: "After the famous family of Du Bohou, he is outstanding in his talent, and his filial piety is touching the sky and famous in the country. I still know a little about it."
According to historical records, Du Ji's name is Bohou and is from Duling, Jingzhao.
Du Ji became an official at the age of 20 and served as the Gongcao of Jingzhao County. He also served as the county magistrate of Zheng County. Later, he was promoted to the Chief of Hanzhong Prefecture. After surrendering to Cao Cao, Du Ji served as Sikong Sizhi, was promoted to the magistrate of the Guqiang School, led the prefect of Xiping, and moved to the prefect of Hedong. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, Du Ji was granted the title of Marquis of Fengleting and became the Minister of Shangshu Pushe. Unfortunately, he died for the country at the age of 62.
Xun Yu, a counselor under Cao Cao, said that 'the bravery of the Ji is enough to be a disaster'. Chen Shou, the author of "The Three Kingdoms", recorded: "The Ji was in Hedong for 16 years and was always the best in the world."
His talents are outstanding and he is the most virtuous.
Wang Lei's memory of such an important person is quite profound.
Old Master Du opened his sleepy eyes, and a gleam flashed through his eyes.
This kid knows the person in front of him again.
Du Ji smiled ashamed and clasped his fists and said, "Let the young master laugh, Du Ji's actions are not worth mentioning." But a glory appeared on Du Ji's face. His ancestors Du Zhou and Du Yannian and his son were famous in "Records of the Grand Historian" and "Book of the Later Han", and their ancestors were famous. Because of this, Wang Lei called Du Ji's famous family, which happened to make Du Ji feel good.
In Du Ji's father's generation, no one in the Du family became an official and became an ordinary family. Du Ji's mother died very early, and her father married a fierce stepmother. Not long after, Du Ji's biological father passed away, and the stepmother was vicious and made things difficult for the young Du Ji. Du Ji was given to Du Ji for all the dirty and heavy work, and was bullied by his stepmother. In such an environment, Du Ji not only did not feel resentful, but became more filial.
After a long time, Du Ji was moved by his stepmother, the mother in the family was kind and filial.
It was mentioned earlier that Du Ji took office at the age of 20 and served as the magistrate of Jingzhao County and the magistrate of Zheng County. Later, he was promoted to the Chief of Hanzhong Prefecture. Due to wars and chaos, Du Ji resigned and took his mother away from Hanzhong, intending to take refuge in Liaodong.
