Chapter 875 Chapter 875, Remarriage
Jinweiwei, Gangshan Baihu Suo.
Dong Yuanxuan had just returned from patrol with his fifty soldiers when an old soldier at the gate called out to him, "Dong Xiaoqi, the captain has been looking for you everywhere."
Dong Yuanxuan paused for a moment and asked, "What do you want from me, sir?"
At this time, a captain of the centurion's office walked over and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone: "The captain is your father-in-law. He must be looking for you for good reasons. Maybe he will promote you to captain."
Dong Yuanxuan glanced at the general flag and led his horse towards the stable without arguing with him. After tying up the horse, he quickly walked towards the office of the centurion.
"Sir, you're looking for me?"
When Captain Liu saw his son-in-law coming, his face immediately filled with smiles. Noticing that he was shivering from the cold, he personally poured him a bowl of tea and said, "Although it hasn't snowed in the past two days, it's still very cold. Come and warm yourself by the fire."
Dong Yuanxuan took the tea, walked to the charcoal basin, and stretched out his red, frozen hands: "Sir, Lao Wang at the door said you were looking for me, is there something wrong?"
Captain Liu took a look at his son-in-law and thought to himself, he is indeed worthy of being the son of a marquis. Even when he is in trouble, his demeanor is incomparable to ordinary people. I wonder if it is a blessing or a curse for his simple-minded daughter to marry such a man?
"This morning, someone came to the Hundred Households Office looking for you."
Dong Yuanxuan thought something had happened at home again when he heard this, and asked quickly, "But at home?"
Captain Liu saw that he was anxious and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, it's not your family, it's someone from Ganzhou Guard. I asked him to go eat. You can see him after a while."
Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan was instantly excited.
Jinweiwei is adjacent to Ganzhouwei. Even though the Baihu Suo is not well informed, some news has been passed on.
In addition, he married the daughter of Captain Liu, so Captain Liu would tell him many things.
Years ago, he heard that the young prince had come to Xiliang and was in Ganzhou Wei.
Captain Liu took out a document from the table, looked at Dong Yuanxuan and sighed, "When I first saw you, I knew you wouldn't stay in our small place forever." As he said that, he handed the document over.
"Take a look at your family's transfer order."
Dong Yuanxuan put down the tea bowl and took the transfer order impatiently.
Looking at his excited son-in-law, Captain Liu thought for a moment and said, "Yuanxuan, I know it's a bit unfair for you to marry Xiaoman, but now she is pregnant with your child. I hope you can treat her well in the future."
Hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan shifted his gaze from the transfer order and looked up at Captain Liu. Seeing the worry in his eyes, he was silent for a moment, then said solemnly: "Father-in-law, since I married Xiaoman, she is my wife. I will naturally treat her well. Please rest assured about this."
Hearing this, Captain Liu immediately smiled and patted Dong Yuanxuan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I was right about you."
When the Dong family first came here, I don’t know who they offended, but they got into trouble every now and then. My silly daughter is a lustful person. Seeing that Dong Yuanxuan is handsome, she goes to help every time the Dong family gets into trouble.
Last June, the old lady of the Dong family fell seriously ill. He watched his silly daughter running around and even gave the family's treasured ginseng to the Dong family. He was angry and helpless, so he found Dong Yuanxuan and bluntly asked him to marry his daughter.
By letting Dong Yuanxuan marry his daughter, he was somewhat trying to repay a favor.
But he had no choice. His silly daughter was trapped in it, and as a father he could only find a way to help her.
I heard that the new governor of Ganzhou Guard is the son of a prince from the capital. Now that the Dong family has been transferred there, I'm afraid they're going to make a comeback.
As they were talking, Bu Gandang came over after dinner. Seeing Dong Yuanxuan coming back, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Dong!"
Dong Yuanxuan knew Bu Gandang, so he clasped his fists in return and asked about Xiao Yeyang's recent situation.
Captain Liu watched from the side without interrupting, but when he saw Bu Gandang being very polite and respectful to his son-in-law, he couldn't help but feel worried.
My son-in-law is a rare talent. If someone helps him pull out of the quagmire, his future will be limitless. But my silly daughter can't even read a few words. Will she be despised in the future?
Bu Gan Dang said, "If possible, I hope you can leave for Ganzhouwei as soon as possible. After the first month, it will be February, and the spring plowing will begin. The refugees must be settled before the spring plowing."
Dong Yuanxuan looked at Captain Liu and said, "Father-in-law, these are my soldiers."
Captain Liu waved his hand and said, "I'll take care of this. Go back and tell Xiaoman and the others to pack up. Don't keep the Ganzhou Guards waiting for too long."
Dong Yuanxuan looked at Captain Liu and said with gratitude, "Thank you, father-in-law."
The father-in-law's words of coercion in marrying Liu Xiaoman were somewhat coercive, but he was not reluctant at all in his heart. If Xiaoman had not helped him time and again, his grandmother and mother might not have survived.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will take good care of Xiaoman."
After saying goodbye to Captain Liu, Dong Yuanxuan took Bu Gandang to the Dong family.
The Dong family lived in a village under the jurisdiction of Gangshan Baihu. Dong Yuanxuan and Bu Gandang rode for half an hour to reach the village.
Except for Old Master Dong, all the other male members of the Dong family went to repair the city wall.
In the room, Mrs. Dong was weaving on a loom, and Old Lady Dong was sitting on the kang with the pregnant Liu Xiaoman, spinning thread.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening, Liu Xiaoman went to the window and saw Dong Yuanxuan entering the courtyard through the oil paper. She immediately smiled and said, "Grandma, Mother, my husband is back."
Mrs. Dong stopped weaving immediately upon hearing this. As she walked to the door and opened it, Dong Yuanxuan strode in. "Why are you back at this hour?" Seeing Bu Gandang standing in the yard, she was stunned for a moment. "Who is that person?"
Dong Yuanxuan smiled and introduced: "Mother, Commander Bu is the young prince's man."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dong's eyes lit up. Seeing the transfer order her son handed her, she immediately took it and read it. Then she quickly walked to the kang and said to Mrs. Dong, "Mother, the young prince has come to Xiliang and wants to transfer us to Ganzhou Guard."
After hearing this, Mrs. Dong grabbed the transfer order and her eyes became red after reading it.
After the Dong family got into trouble, she had been holding a grudge in her heart. She was so unwilling to accept it. Her son and grandson were so outstanding, but they were implicated by their family and exiled to such a bitter and cold place.
Not only do they have to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, but they also have to be bullied by others.
She was an old woman, and it didn't matter if she died in this place, but her sons and grandsons were still young, especially since she was about to have a great-grandson. The thought that her great-grandson would also have to live in a bitter and cold place made her heart ache.
Now that the young prince is here, as long as we give him a chance, with the abilities of his son and grandson, he will definitely be able to create a future for the Dong family.
Mrs. Dong and Madam Dong looked at the transfer order repeatedly with excitement. Dong Yuanxuan saw his wife sitting there at a loss, so he walked over and said, "We're going to Ganzhouwei soon. Go pack two sets of clothes for me. I have to leave today."
Liu Xiaoman knew about her husband's family's past, and also knew that she knew very little, so she didn't go up to ask more questions at this time. She just quickly got off the kang and went back to the house to pack her things.
Mrs. Dong came back to her senses from her excitement and looked at Dong Yuanxuan: "Leaving today? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Dong Yuanxuan nodded. "Tens of thousands of refugees have gathered outside Ganzhou City. The young prince wants me to go there and take charge of their resettlement. I'll go first, so you don't have to rush. Grandpa and grandma are old, and Xiaoman is pregnant, so we'd better walk slowly."
Mrs. Dong nodded: "Do you want to call your father back?"
Dong Yuanxuan shook his head. "No, it's several miles away. It would be very troublesome to go back and forth. I'll go tell Grandfather and then leave. When Father comes back, you can give him the transfer order and he'll know everything."
Dong Yuanxuan went to see Old Master Dong, and when he came back, Liu Xiaoman had already packed her clothes.
Taking the bundle and looking at his wife's slightly worried eyes, Dong Yuanxuan tucked the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears and said, "Help me take good care of my grandmother and the others, and take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly. Soon, we will be able to reunite in Ganzhouwei."
With just a few simple words, Liu Xiaoman's heart was soothed.
"Don't worry, my husband. I will take good care of the family."
Dong Yuanxuan nodded, said goodbye to Old Lady Dong and Madam Dong, and then rode away on horseback with Bu Gandang.
