184, brush reputation

"Thank you sister."

The older boy reached out and grabbed the toffee. After thanking him sincerely, he turned around and gave a few toffee to the younger brothers and sisters behind him. The children took the toffee and happily opened the wrapper and ate it.

When it was the big boy's turn, he silently put the candy into his pocket.

"Why don't you eat?" Xia Ning asked.

The boy replied, "I want to leave it to grandma because she has bad teeth."

"So filial!"

Xia Ning touched the boy's head, took out another toffee and secretly put it into his pocket.

At this time, the old patriarch and Song Shaoqin came out.

"Are you okay?"

Song Shaoqin replied, "It's no big deal. You'll be fine after taking medicine."

"That's good."

Thinking that they had been out for a while, Xia Ning did not dare to delay any longer. She pointed directly at the sack on the ground and explained to the old patriarch.

"Chief, this sack contains a kind of crop that can be used as food, called potatoes. These potatoes can be used."

After listening to the introduction, the old patriarch was shocked, "How could there be such a divine creature in this world?"

Xia Ning said quickly, "Whether what I said is true, you will know after trying it. We cannot stay here for a long time and will leave Sanxi Town soon. Do you remember what I just said? You guys go back to the village as soon as possible.

Just plant potatoes and you will be able to harvest a batch of potatoes years ago.”

Hearing this, the old patriarch became anxious, "I believe what I believe. I was just too surprised for the moment. I hope my benefactor doesn't mind. I have remembered everything you just said."

"That's good. In that case, let's leave." Seeing that everything was almost settled, Xia Ning prepared to return to the meeting place.

"etc!"

The old patriarch quickly stopped him, stepped forward and asked, "May I ask the names of the two benefactors? Where are they going? This will also let me know where to go to repay my kindness."

"No need." Song Shaoqin didn't take this trivial matter to heart, and he didn't even think about getting anything in return.

However, his words were interrupted by Xia Ning, "Has the patriarch heard about the general protecting the country?"

The old patriarch immediately raised his hands toward the horizon and said, "Who in the world knows the name of General Song? He is the patron saint of our people in Dongchu. If it weren't for the Song family's army guarding the border all these years, how could we have a peaceful life?"

"

"Then do you know that the General's Mansion has been convicted by the Emperor and sentenced to exile to the Southern Barbarians?"

Hearing this, the old patriarch's face was full of astonishment and he shook his head in disbelief, "How could this happen? General Song has protected our Dongchu people for decades. It can be said that he has worked hard and accomplished a lot. The Song family is even more loyal. How can it be?"

Will he be exiled? Your Majesty, he is."

The old patriarch's face was full of anger. When the Song family army was mentioned among the people, who wouldn't give a thumbs up? How could such a good general be reduced to such a state?

They usually stay in the village and rarely go to counties and towns, so it is inevitable that some things will take a long time to receive news.

The old patriarch couldn't help but think of what they had experienced recently, and he suddenly felt so sad that his whole body trembled with anger. However, insulting the current emperor was a capital crime, so he had to swallow his words.

Seeing this, Xia Ning was very pleased. Sure enough, the common people were very discerning. That dog emperor was just deceiving himself and others. Seeing him being so aggrieved for the Song family, it was not in vain for the Song family's efforts over the years.

"We are the people of the General's Mansion, and now we are going to the place of exile."

The old patriarch was shocked, "What? Are you really from the General's Mansion? Seriously?"

"Of course it's true."

Xia Ning replied affirmatively, she is not the kind of person who does good deeds in obscurity without leaving a name. Doesn't the dog emperor want to throw dirty water on the Song family? Then they can also improve their reputation.

Besides, they are not as hypocritical as that dog emperor. They have actually done good things. So, what is wrong with just telling them the name of the Song family truthfully?

Although the Song family has a good reputation among the people, who can have too much good reputation?

"." Hearing this, Song Shaoqin, who was interrupted, looked at Xia Ning silently.

He naturally understood her intentions. Originally, he didn't care about these false claims. After all, the Song family never relied on these to advance their future or make profits. It was obvious that Xia Ning defended the Song family so much, and he was extremely moved.

But what made him even more happy was that just now she said that they were from the General's Mansion. Does this mean that in her heart, she already regarded herself as a member of the Song family?

"I didn't expect that I would be able to meet people from the General's Mansion in my lifetime. It's really an honor for me."

The old clan leader beside him had already become excited, and he did not forget to turn around and greet the clan members behind him.

"You all come here! These two people are from the General's Mansion and are great benefactors to our Cheng family. They not only brought us food, but also a big bag of new grain seeds. We no longer have to worry about having no food for the winter. Hurry up

Thank you to your two benefactors!"

Before the old patriarch finished speaking, the clan members knelt down one after another and kowtowed with gratitude.

"Oh, stop it, get up quickly! Stop kneeling!"

How could Xia Ning endure such a battle, but she only had one pair of hands and couldn't support her at all. The reason why she took out the name of the Song family was just to give the Song family a good reputation, but

I didn't want them to kneel down.

As a person who grew up in the 21st century, the back can be bent, but the knees must not soften easily.

"Get up quickly."

Song Shaoqin raised his voice to signal, but his expression was much calmer than Xia Ning's.

Hearing the sound, everyone stood up one after another, but their faces were still full of respect and gratitude.

Xia Ning couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead. She was really busy, but in the end, her busy work was not as effective as Song Shaoqin's words.

Sure enough, the aura of this person who came from the General's Mansion is different.

"Okay, it's getting late and we should leave. You guys should eat quickly and go back to the village to plant potatoes as soon as possible."

"Okay, benefactor."

The old patriarch bowed slightly and responded. After learning the identities of the two people, his attitude became more respectful.

"See you later then!"

Xia Ning smiled and waved to everyone, then walked out side by side with Song Shaoqin.

"Congratulations to my benefactor!"

"Have a nice trip, my benefactor."

"May the Bodhisattva bless the two benefactors in peace and longevity."

After walking out of the alley, Song Shaoqin asked the people around him, "Is there anything you want to buy?"

"No, there's nothing to see in this shabby town. It's almost time. Let's go back quickly."

Xia Ning shook her head and refused. After what happened just now, she was really not interested in Sanxi Town anymore. Besides, her porcelain basin space was rich in supplies and there was no shortage of anything. She just wanted to join in the fun and experience the real life.

They were just fireworks in ancient markets.

"That's okay."
