Chapter 9 Chapter Thirty-seven

The magistrate's yamen is adjacent to the general's mansion, and the guards escorted Mrs. Cheng to go back first. Xu Zhifu also wanted to rush to express condolences to Cheng's mansion, so he just hurriedly asked the people who escorted the two traffickers for a few words, and then asked someone to arrest the traffickers. He was taken into prison and guarded, and a piece of silver was taken to reward all the people, and they were sent out.He thought that General Cheng would come back later, maybe he would have to ask what happened, so he left Ding Hao behind and took him straight to General Cheng's mansion.

Mrs. Cheng was sitting cross-legged in the Hall of Heroes where the white tiger was descending the mountain. She was crying so hard that her heart was broken. The daughter-in-law brought back her precious grandson. The old lady was overjoyed when she saw her. , Suddenly remembering how this child will be separated from his flesh and blood if he can't be found, his heart is sore and painful, and under the fear, tears are still falling down. When the prefect Xu arrived, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to persuade: Madam, don't cry, you see that the young master is sensible, he loves grandma, and when you cry, the young master also cries with you.

Mrs. Cheng felt sorry for her grandson, she wiped away her tears when she heard this, and coaxed the child with a forced smile: Good grandson, good grandson, grandma don’t cry, grandma doesn’t cry The prefect Xu said politely again: "The young master of your mansion was kidnapped by human traffickers. Fortunately, he was rescued by this person. The human trafficker has been sent to prison by the official. The person who rescued the young master has also been brought to you. I don’t know the old man." Do you have anything else to ask him? He talked about the old matriarch, not just flattery, the old lady Cheng really had the title of maharaja.In the Song Dynasty, the wife of a fourth-rank official was the county lord, and the wife of the fifth-rank official was the county lord.The names of their mothers are all added to Taijun.Cheng Shixiong is a general of Guangyuan, a member of the fifth rank of the imperial court, and his mother is naturally an old matriarch with imperial titles.

Old Mrs. Cheng heard that the pleasing young man in front of her was the benefactor who saved her grandson, so she said gratefully: Thank you, brother, you are the benefactor of my Cheng family, benefactor, please sit down quickly. Ding Haoqian smiled and said: In front of the old lady, there is no place for a villain. Xu Zhifu said: The old lady is very kind, if you are told to sit down, you can sit down, don't be too restrictive. Ding Hao apologized and sat down on the next chair, and Mrs. Cheng asked him what happened.Ding Hao narrated the process of rescuing Young Master Cheng. The old lady and Mrs. Cheng were shocked and frightened when they heard it, and they couldn't help crying again.

Seeing this, Ding Hao was also helpless. He had an idea, so he picked up the matter of the young master of the Cheng family to talk about it. This way, he did what he liked, and it really attracted the attention of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Ding Hao vividly talked about how the little boy wanted candy and how he looked for his mother, which made Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng smile.The old lady was so happy that she kissed her grandson's little cheek, and praised her again and again: "My grandson is very smart, and he will definitely be a promising child in the future."

At this moment, Xi Yuyu neighed, and a burly man in military uniform rushed into the hall with a gust of cold wind. His armor leaves rustled and his boots clanged. The Taijun hurriedly asked: Mother, what happened to our family's wealth? On the way here, Ding Hao heard from the magistrate Xu that the young master he rescued was the son of General Cheng. At this time, when he saw this tiger-like general, he was the same as the one he saw when he first entered the city. Han Xin's living treasure Taiwei. When the old lady saw her son, her complexion immediately sank, and she snorted coldly: "What kind of official are you, a beast?"Or what kind of general, his own flesh and blood were almost kidnapped and sold.

Although Cheng Shixiong has a high official status, he is a very filial person. When Cheng's mother scolded him like this in front of outsiders, he just stood with his hands crossed and smiled with him, but he didn't dare to argue with him.It wasn't until the old mother finished scolding and saw the son sleeping soundly in the old mother's arms that Cheng Shixiong let out a long breath and said with joy: "Mother taught me a lesson. Thanks to Mr. Xu for finding the son in time, Cheng is really grateful." Xu Zhifu quickly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare to be an official, don't dare to be an official, don't dare to take credit for it, the one who rescued Mr. Ling was this little brother Ding Haoding."

oh?Cheng Shixiong turned around, fixed his lightning-like eyes on Ding Hao, looked him up and down, slightly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, little brother, for saving the dog. Thank you Cheng." Ding Hao got up in a hurry to evade the ceremony, saying that he didn't dare to do it, while Mrs. Cheng saw that her son was a little perfunctory, but suddenly burst out: "Why don't you dare to do it?"If it weren't for Brother Ding, my Cheng family would have lost all incense and roots.My old lady has become a sinner of the Cheng family through the ages, and she has no face to meet the ancestors of the Cheng family after she dies.My poor grandson, if this is kidnapped, eyes and limbs gouged out by unscrupulous bastards and used as a beggar, the old woman will die of pain

Old Madam Cheng shed tears again as she spoke, she picked up her grandson and walked in front of Ding Hao, pretending to kneel down, and said in her mouth: My benefactor is sitting down, although that man was a poor and lowly family slave at the beginning, but now he is a big official Oh, I'm too arrogant, of course I can't beg you, my wife is an ordinary person, I don't have so many things to say, I come to kneel down to thank you, may the Buddha bless you for a long life and a long life Ding Hao didn't dare to let her kneel down, so he rushed forward to support her, while General Cheng was blushing with embarrassment, and his black face turned into a reddish purple.In fact, he didn't have any other ideas. He knew that Ding Hao was just an ordinary person just by looking at his clothes. It was true that this man had shown great kindness to his Cheng family, but how could he thank him?It's enough to give him a hundred gold rewards in a while, but I didn't know that I angered my old mother.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help hearing her mother-in-law's words. What is it that she has become a sinner of the Cheng family through the ages, and she has no face to see her ancestors when she dies?She lost the child when she entered the incense, and the mother-in-law was clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai and telling her. Mrs. Cheng is the daughter of the Tang family in Pingyuan, who came from a wealthy family, while Mrs. Cheng is from a peasant family. The two people usually talk and do things very differently. How can their tempers get together?Mrs. Cheng believes in Buddhism, but Mrs. Cheng believes in it; Mrs. Cheng is from a peasant family. Although she is now the mother of a general, her living habits are still like those of an old lady in the countryside, but Mrs. Cheng is like a lady from a wealthy family. .

Mrs. Cheng has not given birth for a long time, and her mother-in-law is impatient, and repeatedly encourages her son to take a concubine. General Cheng dare not mention it to his wife. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been fighting openly and covertly for this matter. But he suffered countless splints between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. When the little friend Cheng Fugui was born, it was finally a major event between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had friction again because of taking care of their grandson.The old lady dotes on her grandson, as long as the grandson wants, she will not allow it.The grandson likes to eat maltose, and Mrs. Cheng doesn't let the child eat it, so she feeds it secretly like a thief. The old lady felt wronged by her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Cheng felt that her mother-in-law's family was ignorant, but she couldn't speak of her, which was also full of bitterness.The old and new enmities between the two have been smoldering for a long time. Today, the daughter-in-law insisted on taking the child to Sanqing Temple to offer incense, but she lost the child. When the old lady Cheng waited for her son to arrive, she had someone to support her. Thinking of these past events, there is no reason why they didn't happen together. Although Mrs. Cheng was ashamed and annoyed, but thinking about it carefully, today's situation is a catastrophe. If her son is really lost, even if her mother-in-law doesn't tell her, she won't be able to survive. This benefactor should kneel down, Immediately blushing and got up, she said shamelessly: "Mother-in-law, everything is the daughter-in-law's fault, don't be angry, my daughter-in-law has thanked the benefactor for the rebuilding of the Cheng family on behalf of us." After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she knelt down to Ding Hao. General Cheng said with relief when he heard his daughter-in-law say this: "Yes, yes, mother, don't be angry. Kneel, son, kneel and thank you benefactor." After General Cheng finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with a thud, his iron helmet knocked on the ground, and there were three bangs of his head.Seeing his son listening to his wife like this, Mrs. Cheng was even more annoyed, she snorted coldly and turned her head away to ignore him. Ding Hao panicked, rushed forward to help each other, hurriedly helped General Cheng and his wife up, before they could say three words, another woman's voice shouted urgently from outside the door: "Auntie, have you found my rich brother?" Following the sound, a young girl rushed into the hall in a hurry. This young girl was wearing a fox fur collar, her face was as delicate as jade, and the two phases matched each other. It was crystal clear, but the graceful and picturesque pretty face was full of panic at this moment. color. When Ding Hao saw this girl, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The hairs all over his body stood on end, and he cried out inwardly, "My God, why is this person the girl from Puji Temple?"
