At the beginning of summer, the border issue was finally resolved, and a border contract was signed with the Western Fan Kingdom, which also took the opportunity to drive a wedge between the Western Fan Kingdom and Nanyang.

The deeds of the heroic general have passed the climax, and fewer and fewer people have mentioned this matter. People have returned to normal life, and there is no change from before. Farming, trading, and work, the general seems to be forgotten by people, Duanmu Rui has never mentioned this person's name and things in front of anyone.

But he seemed to be more silent after the victory of the war. The servant Ah Quan didn't like to talk too much, and didn't notice Duanmu Rui's change, but Pingping and An'an felt keenly that his father was distracted while playing with them. The number of times is really annoying.

Duanmu Rui remembered that it was from this time that he had an extra habit. He always liked to pay attention to the situation on the official road from Shangjing to Liucheng. If there were businessmen from Shangjing, Duanmu Rui would usually take the opportunity to go forward. Let’s talk about the situation in Beijing and China, is there anything special happening, and whether the DPRK and China have issued any new orders.

However, such opportunities are rare after all, and the quickest to inquire about the news is the Kuai Mansion.

When the good news of victory and the sad news of the death of the Ninth Prince came from the beginning of the year, Duanmu Rui began to fidget.

He looked at this small courtyard, but thought about the large courtyard in Shangjing Central. The idea that he had never dared to appear in the past few years began to sprout at this moment, and then like melting ice, it turned into water and dripped drop by drop, forming on the ground. A puddle of water, slowly the water accumulated more and more, and finally his heart was filled with that thought, until now, that thought seemed to never dry up, overflowing his heart without limit.

Now that the Empress Dowager has passed away and the Ninth Prince has also died in battle, the agreement made on that day is equivalent to the fact that the two other people who made the agreement are no longer around, so can this agreement be voided?

Duanmu Rui seems to have seen the scene when he met Zhenzhen, but the scene is ever-changing, suddenly he saw Zhenzhen at the gate of the palace, suddenly met him at the market, or Zhenzhen came to find him in person, There are thousands of different situations, but there is only one result, that is, the father and son finally hug each other and cry bitterly, expressing their thoughts and worries.

"Daddy, daddy!" Duanmu Rui's sleeve was pulled back and forth.

Duanmu Rui suddenly woke up, staring at the chessboard in front of him, the chess pieces on it were messy, and the two little things lying there face to face with him had already piled up three chess pieces.

"Is it my turn?" Duanmu Rui hurriedly took a chess piece and put it slowly on purpose, but pretended to be casual and said, "If I take you to Shangjing, would you be willing?"

"Shangjing? What's that?" Pingping asked him with his head tilted. These two little guys are more than two years old, and their chubby mouths can't stop talking. Duanmu Rui can always inadvertently see the shadow of the Ninth Prince from their appearance. .

"A place that sells a lot of toys!" An An rushed to answer.

Pingping and Duanmurui looked at An An, and An An seemed to be showing off on purpose, "It's the uncle of Kuaifu who said it!"

Kuai Fei... Duanmu Rui's desire to return to Shangjing increased, "How about Daddy taking you to Kuai Mansion tomorrow?"

Pingping and An'an jumped up happily, "Yes, yes! I like uncle the most!"

Duanmu Rui struck while the iron was hot, "Don't you always envy the young master of your uncle's family who has a big brother? This time we go to Shangjing, how about creating a brother for you?"

Ping Anan didn't reject it at all, and continued to shout excitedly, "Okay, okay!"

Duanmu Rui put the chessboard away, and began to think about how to open his mouth to Mr. Kuai tomorrow, asking him to help bring a letter to Boss Fang, asking about the post-war situation in Beijing and China.

"Daddy, what are you going to do?" Duanmu Rui was brought back to his thoughts again, "We still have to play!"

Duanmu Rui looked in his hands, the chessboard that Pingping and An'an were playing with had already been half taken away by him, "Ah..."

"It's really..." An An is a girl, she speaks more fluently than mediocre, and much faster, and she is also self-taught, and she is proficient in using it, so every time she blames Duanmu Rui for being distracted, it is usually An An Opening my mouth.

Duanmu Rui hurriedly put the chessboard back and set it up, claiming to lie behind them and rest with his eyes closed, and let the two play their own games, but he pretended to be asleep and thought about things.

On the contrary, Ping An An is happy, and the game can be played more smoothly without Duanmu Rui's participation.

In the early morning of the second day, Duanmu Rui woke up the sleeping little ones and told them to go to Kuai Mansion today.

In fact, it is also possible to keep these two people at home and let the servant Ah Quan take care of them, but seeing their excitement, they decided to take them with them. The government is not too far away.

If you consider the distance of these two guys... Duanmu Rui ordered Ah Quan to hire a sedan chair in advance.

The weather looked good that day, and the summer morning was not cool at all. Duanmu Rui found out the thin robes he had newly made for them in the clothing store. They were cool and easy to put on and take off. People walked together to watch, very elegant and lively, and had the feeling of a little adult, Duanmu Rui suddenly remembered something, rummaged through the boxes and took out a box, opened it, took out two golden balls inside, and hung them on their necks .

These two golden balls were given to them by the Ninth Prince before they were born, and they were engraved with complicated and beautiful patterns.

That year, the Ninth Prince said that he would give this to them as soon as they were born.As a result, Duanmurui had to keep the bottom of the suitcase except for important seasons for them to wear. Today, there were some things in his heart that he couldn't help but go to Kuaifu. This matter was no less than any festival to him, so he simply took it out for him. They wear it happily.

The sedan chair carried the two little ghosts, Duanmu Rui followed outside, and the servant Ah Quan stayed at home to prepare food and drink for them, and put the prepared sour plum juice and watermelon in the well behind.

Duanmu Rui followed the sedan chair and lowered his head to think about his thoughts. When he set off, he ordered to go to Kuai Mansion, so he simply lost his mind on the way and followed the sedan chair.

The people in front ran very fast, and the movement accidentally pulled Duanmu Rui's mind back, and he took a closer look, "Why did you get to the official way?"

Almost out of the city, it was the official road where he fled to Liucheng when he was down and out. Usually there were not many people, but today it seemed a little lively.

"Miss ordered it!" said a bearer in charge in front.

Duanmu Rui knocked on the sedan chair, and the window curtain was lifted, "Daddy?" An An probed.

"Why did you tell the bearers to come here?" Duanmu Rui sullenly.

"Brother said that people are running here, there must be something exciting to watch!" An An instantly betrayed Ping Ping.

Duanmu Rui squinted his eyes and saw Pingping lying on the other side of the window through the window, "So you make your own decisions? What if you lose it?" Duanmu Rui was a little angry, if he was not careful, what if they lost it with him!Thinking of it brings cold sweat down my back.

"No, Dad..." An An comforted him.

"Come down!" Duanmu Rui didn't intend to let them make random decisions without the consent of adults, "Don't listen to daddy, come down by yourself, you are not allowed to sit in a sedan chair."

"Daddy..." An An has experience, so she won't punish them for acting like a baby.

But I didn't expect that Duanmu Rui seemed to be really angry this time, "Get down and go by yourself, and the sedan chair will follow. When you figure it out, come up again."

"What are you thinking?" Pingping came over at this moment.

"Think about your bad idea!" An An rolled his eyes at him, jumped down and followed the sedan chair, and Ping Ping was also ordered by Duan Murui. Go, never sit in a sedan chair for the rest of your life!

The three of them were walking together, the sedan chair followed behind, and before they had gone twenty steps back, there was a sudden commotion from the distance of the official road, Duanmu Rui hurriedly grabbed the two of them, and when he looked back, people in the distance were all heading towards the official road Both sides withdrew, but many people came on the official road.

"Look, look, there's excitement!" The two little ghosts immediately forgot Duanmu Rui's admonition, turned around and ran towards the official road, wanting to stand aside to have a better look, "It's the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers from the expedition are back!" They ran and shouted, Duanmu Rui couldn't see the two of them in a blink of an eye, there were people in front of him, separating him from the two little ghosts far away.

Duanmu Rui wanted to push through the crowd to look for the two little ones. They were buried in the crowd and they didn't know where to go.

The crowd pushed hard, and Duanmu Rui couldn't pull away the huddled crowd.

If you don't go forward, those two damned little devils will definitely be in danger. Duanmu Rui was anxious, and simply bent down and started to shuttle from the bottom. Sure enough, it is faster to squeeze forward from the bottom. If anyone blocked him, he pushed the person's knee , the man would definitely stagger, and he took the opportunity to get ahead.

No wonder the little ghosts run so fast in such a situation!

He yelled Pingping and An'an at the top of his voice, and at the same time kept looking at their shadows through the gap.

But still to no avail!Where did these two guys go!Don't really lose it!What if someone sells it!

Duanmu Rui was extremely anxious behind the crowd, and suddenly heard the crowd silence, which made him unable to react so suddenly, just like the moment when the battery suddenly runs out while you are watching a movie, even the sound of breathing is very obvious.

The next moment he heard two terrified screams, two immature voices, wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, wanted to beg for mercy but was frightened and didn't know how to beg for mercy, in the end he could only say "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" , with a crying voice.

Duanmu Rui was frightened out of his wits immediately, the two noises were from those two brats!

He gathered up enough strength to push away the crowd, maybe people stopped pushing and shoving in panic, Duanmu Rui easily rushed to the front, the side of the official road.

He was stunned by the sight in front of him.

A group of tall and tall soldiers, there are hundreds of people, each on horseback with guns, full of wind and dust, but they are terribly majestic, unsmiling, no one dares to approach them like this, but they can't bear to turn their eyes away.

The two soldiers at the front were holding spears, and two two-year-old children were hanging from the spearheads. The spears passed through their belts and did not hurt the slightest bit, but the two children were pulled from the ground, trembling with fear. .

Those two people held the baby in their hands and held it up in front of them to have a look, "Who is so bold, dare to go to the official road to intercept him, pull him down and execute him!"

Then he threw the two children back, Duanmurui watched them soar into the air, he was terrified, and rushed forward to the mountain regardless of his life, but it was a step too late, the two fell into the hands of the other two, and at the same time Several spears aimed at Duanmu Rui's chest in an instant.

The crowd screamed together, but Duanmu Rui thought he didn't hear anything. He only thought about how to save the children from these villains. As for him, it doesn't matter at all!

In the official road, ordinary people walk freely, but there is a rule that whenever officials travel, the army travels with them, or transports grain, grass and letter paper, the common people will all avoid it, otherwise the time limit will be delayed and all beheaded!

Duanmu Rui didn't look at the spear pointing at him, and realized that it was all on the two children who were caught.

No one spoke, he was twisted and brought up, and the two children were pulled to his side. Someone maintained the order of the people, cleared the space, and planned to execute them on the spot.

"Wait!" Duanmu Rui shouted suddenly, "I have the gold medal for avoiding death! Stop!"

Some soldiers came to extend their hands, Duanmu Rui's mind was spinning fast how to hold them back and let him go home to get the gold medal, "The gold medal is at my house, if the official doesn't mind going back with me to get it, he will know."

The soldier didn't have time to answer, so he raised his sword directly.

"Wait!" This was the voice from another soldier in the team, and the soldier who was about to kill Duanmu Rui stopped.

"What is this?" The soldier held Pingping in his arms, but he was holding a golden ball in his hand. The golden ball was hung around Pingping's neck with a red thread.

"There are also here!" The soldier holding An'an also shouted.

Duanmu Rui sweated watching their reactions, and his heart was about to jump out. If those two golden balls could save their lives, it's worth noting.

"Officer, it belongs to my child. If you like it, you can take it. My child is still young and ignorant, and has strayed into the official road by mistake. Please be accommodating, and spare our lives. The grassroots are grateful!" Duanmu Rui took the opportunity to say something nice.

The soldiers in that team ignored Duanmu Rui, after several people looked at the two golden balls at the same time, hundreds of people dismounted one after another, putting Pingping and An'an in front, and a group of people knelt down on one leg towards him!

Duanmu Rui was also frightened, but he was more worried about Pingping and An'an. He took advantage of them kneeling and was off guard against the three of them. .

The soldiers looked up again. There was nothing in front of them. They wanted to find it, but the time for the return journey was also very tight, so they gave up and mounted their horses to continue onward.

Not far from the official road, behind a haystack behind a house in Liucheng, Duanmu Rui pressed Pingping and An'an on it, he kept wiping his sweat, and the two little devils didn't dare to make a sound.

He also picked up the golden balls around their necks and looked carefully in front of his eyes. There was really nothing on them except complicated patterns. Why did they kneel down and shout at them?

Just in case, he put away their two golden balls, got up and left, ignoring the two guys.

Ping An Anan was still tense just now, but now that she was left behind, she began to cry desperately, "Daddy, don't leave us... We don't dare anymore... Daddy, don't go away..." They said Zhu Duanmurui tugged desperately at the corner of his clothes.

Duanmu Rui walked a few steps forward with a dark face, and finally stopped.

The two children in the back were really scared, they couldn't breathe from crying, and their voices were almost hoarse.

Duanmu Rui finally turned around, knelt down and looked at them.

When they saw their father like this, they immediately quieted down their voices, only sobbing, but their hands still held tightly, looking at Duanmu Rui with tears in their eyes, begging him not to leave them.

Duanmu Rui's dark face was enough, and he asked, "Is it so dangerous today?"

Ping Anan nodded, tears poured out again, trying not to cry, but her mouth was wide open with a cry.

"Will you still run around in the future?" He continued to ask with a dark face.

The two guys quickly shook their heads desperately.

Duanmu Rui sighed, relaxed his tense nerves, and hugged them in his arms, "It's agreed, from now on, you are not allowed to run around without telling Daddy, I really scared Daddy to death just now!"

Seeing that the alarm was lifted, the two guys hugged Duanmu Rui's neck and cried loudly. Duanmu Rui also hugged them tightly and kept patting his back to comfort him.

When the two of them got on the sedan chair again, their faces were full of flowers.

"Go to the small river first and I'll clean their faces before going to Kuai Mansion." Duanmu Rui told the bearers.

Ever since they got separated, the bearer had stopped by the side of the road and didn't dare to move, so he didn't know what happened just now, "It's the young master!"

The journey was peaceful and quiet, even if I secretly opened the curtain to look outside, it was not as blatant as before.

When they arrived at Kuai's mansion, the two ran directly to find the younger brother of their uncle's family, while Duanmu Rui went to Kuai Fei's room to talk to him.

"You want to go back to Shangjing?" Kuai Fei felt very sudden after hearing this, but he was not surprised at all. "Continue to Fangfu?"

Duanmu Ruidao, "No, I want to do something by myself so that I can support them, and I won't be too busy to go home, Fangfu is too busy."

"Also..." Kuai Fei thought about it, "You can also think about my jade, you open a shop yourself, and I will provide you with materials..."

It's not like Duanmu Rui didn't think about this road, "I'm a complete layman in this field. Although the conditions are convenient, I don't understand anything. I'm afraid I'm wasting your good intentions."

Kuai Fei rubbed his chin and thought hard together, "What can I do? Just tell me what I can do for you. Friends, you are welcome. If you want to talk about Shangjing Yushi, I also have a relationship. If you want to do this , it’s not impossible to ask others to take you.”

Duanmu Rui thanked Kuai Fei, "I want to be in my old profession. I want to get started quickly, and I have a solid foundation in my heart."

Kuai Fei somewhat disagreed, "Bigger mansions have accountants, and small households don't need to hire accountants. What is Duanmu going to do? There is a shortage of merchants, but then you won't have much time."

Duanmu Ruidao, "I just have this idea. If there is an accountant in the government who can't spend a lot of money to hire a good accountant, and the general accountant can't meet his needs, he can ask me to do the account once a month and summarize the monthly income. It’s much cheaper than keeping a counting house in their mansion.”

Kuai Fei couldn't accept it after thinking about it, but he didn't dissuade him, "As a brother, I support you. If you need help, just say it. It's just that you always feel that you will waste your time in accounting, but I still support you."

Duanmu Rui thanked him, and bluntly stated the date of his intention to leave.

If he hadn't made up his mind to go back to Shangjing before he came, Duanmu Rui directly made a decision after so much trouble on the road, and left in a few days, there is nothing to miss here, there is still Zhenzhen in Shangjing, the Ninth Prince and the Queen Mother are gone , What is he still hesitating about!

Kuai Fei didn't know that he decided to do so hastily, so he tried to persuade Duanmurui to stay, but finally he had to send Duanmu Rui away. Before leaving, he gave him a piece of uncut jade, and also gave the two little guys two small pendants.

Duanmu Rui didn't stay for lunch, said goodbye after chatting, and got into the sedan chair with Ping An in his arms.

Duanmu Rui followed outside the sedan chair without looking back, and then the guards of Kuai Mansion saw Boss Luo.

The scar on Boss Luo's ear has become his obvious symbol. The guards don't look at other people, but only at his ear. When they see this ear, they immediately go to the mansion to report.

This time Boss Luo raised his hand to stop the guard's notification. He stood in front of the door, stared at the direction Duanmu Rui was leaving, frowned a few times, and then ran in that direction again.

There were people coming and going on the street, Boss Luo wandered around the street for a long time, the person he saw just now seemed to be Mr. Duanmu, but he disappeared all of a sudden, it was really strange, could it be that he also had hallucinations?

Since the Ninth Prince sent him a letter saying that even if Duanmu Rui could not be found, his body must be found, and even if the body could not be found, the grave must be found.

At this time, he tacitly agreed that Duanmu Rui was no longer in this world, but the trance just now made him doubtful.

Since it has appeared here, the answer may come out after a few more days of waiting.Boss Luo then entered Kuai's mansion and talked with Master Kuai about the new uncut jade.

On the second day, Duanmu Rui ordered his servants to clean up the house. In the past three years, Duanmu Rui didn't buy much here. Guys have to consider Zhenzhen when making plans in the future.He had to make sure he had the money to support three kids.

Therefore, the yard was tidied up very quickly. In less than a day, everything that should be packed has been packed. There are only a few bedding and a few clothes, and there are not many safe things. He just sends people to Beijing to buy things regularly No one in the family can sew, so it is easy to clean up for the children's expenses.

On the morning of the third day, Duanmu Rui took the two little ghost heads and his servants, and took the hired car to Shangjing. He held the death-free gold medal firmly in his arms, worrying that this kind of thing would happen again on the road , can avoid disaster in time.

Boss Luo, who was guarding not far from the gate of Kuai Mansion, hadn't seen that figure for a few days, he muttered more and more, and finally couldn't help but went in and asked Kuai Fei, "Boss Fang of Fang Mansion asked me to give you the last time A few messages from the sender, how can I get in touch with him?"

When Kuai Fei heard it, "Oh, you call me a friend," Kuai Fei kept an eye out, and Duanmu Rui specially told him not to mention his name or things to anyone. He has kept a low profile in Liucheng for the past three years, just to No more trouble, "My friend has something to go out of town, if you're not in a hurry, why not leave it to me first, and I'll pass it on to him when he comes back."

"It's really troublesome, sir. When your friend comes back, I'll tell him in person." Boss Luo asked for a long time but didn't get any clues, so he left Kuai's mansion with a sloppy eye.

Kuai Fei was also thinking that he was a little unsure if he blocked it rightly. If something really happened, it would be delayed, but if it was a trick, talking about it soon would be tantamount to selling out a friend.

On last thought, even if he recruited, he couldn't find Duanmu Rui, so he just pretended not to know.

Duanmu Rui took the children and the servants all the way stop and go, and it took three or four days to arrive in Shangjing.

He was very flustered when he entered the city gate, but he was very excited when he was safe.He kept touching the death-preventing gold medal in his arms, and for some reason he remembered that many years ago, the Ninth Prince took him through the gate of Yongping City.

I don't know if we should go so far this time, there are children in the sedan chair, everything must be based on their safety.

Unexpectedly, it was easy to progress through the gate. The guards at the city gate did not let them get off the sedan chair to check. They only let them go after a few glances. It was not until they reached the small street inside the city gate that Duanmu Rui heaved a sigh of relief.

He patted his chest, "What's wrong, Daddy?" An'an came up and asked concerned.

"It's okay, let's go to the inn first, and I'll pick you up when the house is cleaned up." Before leaving, Duanmu Rui left the key to Fangfu, and also the dagger, which was not taken away by the Ninth Prince. The key to the house was only briefly mentioned in Boss Fang's letter last time.

I don't know if Hu Ya is still alive, but this battle took so long, he has seen it with his own eyes no less than twice just for the conscription.

Duanmu Rui left Ping An'an and his servant Ah Quan at the inn, and he kept going in and out of the Fang Mansion these days.

This kind of life is very busy and tiring. It reminded him of Zhenzhen. At that time, he often took Zhenzhen to stay in the inn. He didn’t expect that now he would take Ping Anan to the inn. I don’t know how to meet Zhenzhen. When I came back, I packed up and slowly figured out a way.

It didn't take a few days for the house to be cleaned up. The house hadn't been lived in for a few years, and the dust had not fallen, but it was still solid. There was no leak or collapse, but the copper lock that locked the courtyard door was rusted and it was not easy to open. .

He walked through every house he missed, and after entering his parents' room, there was still the blackness from the lantern burning that day on the floor of the house, and there was nothing left, but his house was It's a little strange, nothing is missing, and the furnishings haven't been touched, but the quilt on the bed has obviously been tampered with.

He remembered that he had packed the quilt and everything before he left, but when he came in and took a look, the quilt was lying on the bed messily, as if he had just woken up.

He placed the tablets of his father, mother and eldest brother in the side room, offered fruits and snacks, burned incense and prayed three times, and went out to pick up the children.

As soon as Ping Anan entered the mansion, they were not used to it, and both of them were very cautious, "Daddy, is this our home?"

"Yes, our home." Duanmu Rui took two small hands and walked slowly around the yard, "the mother-in-law in the dining room over there cooks for us, and there are servants in front of us to help us clean up the yard. From now on, Dad may I'll be busy for a month and I won't be able to accompany you, you can do whatever you want in this yard, Ah Quan will follow you."

As soon as Duanmu Rui finished giving instructions, the two guys threw away his hand, and ran forward like Sahuan, hiding here and then there, as if they changed people in a moment, and they couldn't find the person who just came in at all. kind of stability.

Duanmu Rui found a small shop in the field for several months, cleaned it up simply, hung up a plaque, set off firecrackers, and it was equivalent to opening for business.

His luck is not bad, the first big client is Fangfu.

Fangfu's accountant, that is, Duanmu Rui's master, Mr. Chen, has just retired and returned home. Fangfu did not hire a new accountant, and took advantage of Duanmurui's accountant shop, directly signed the contract in his shop.

This Fangfu is like a living signboard, before helping him promote it, two firms tried to use Duanmu Rui twice.

After the two visits, the two families lost track of each other, and visited again half a year later, so that Duanmu Rui also signed a long-term contract.Only then did Duanmu Rui know that the two companies had used those two times to test his tone. Accounting requires a tight mouth, and they use this kind of open accounting shop, and they are most worried about his mouth.

A year passed without knowing it, and Duanmu Rui's accountant shop has accumulated several long-term big customers, and this year he has not encountered any troubles from anyone, and he has grown up to the age of three safely and smoothly. half, but Duanmu Rui has not seen the Zhenzhen he has been thinking about.
