Chapter Thirty-Seven: Half-Slaves Are Not Welcome Here
The old man of the Du family was wearing a dark brown brocade robe, with white black hair in a high bundle, wearing a dark amber hair crown, his face was full of folds, and he was holding a dark brown crutch in his hand. The old lady of the Du family has been sick recently, so she is lying on the bed, and she has not come to the front yard to see guests today.
After seeing Bai Jinyu's appearance clearly, the old man of the Du family frowned, his eyes full of coldness: "Who brought her?" Don't know what day it is? ”
His eyes were dark, and he looked around, Du Qing was so frightened that he didn't even dare to come out, he took a deep breath, glanced at Ding Xuyu narrowly, bent down slightly, and walked towards the old man of the Du family: "Father, this half-slave was brought by Ding Xuyu, I told him, you can't take the half-slave into the house, otherwise it will be too unlucky, but he kept saying that this half-slave is his family, and he broke in!" ”
"Broke in?"
The old man of the Du family glanced at Ding Xuyu with a cold look in his eyes, and raised his chin slightly: "Ding family boy, you have such confidence today, even the half-slaves dare to bring it, you must have brought a lot of livestock to participate in the sacrificial ceremony?" ”
Before Ding Xuyu could speak, Du Qing answered for him: "Father, he brought two cows and three sheep over this time, all of them are skinny, I don't know where they bought them, and they are not even willing to buy a fat one." ”
"Oh, that's all you carry? Didn't you say that the Ding family had just received more than 100 taels of silver from the head of the herd family? Why did you bring such a little stuff here? It's too shabby, isn't it? ”
"Even my family brought eight livestock, all fat and strong, it doesn't cost much silver, it's really poor, I always want to save money, but I can't be generous!"
Bai Jinyu listened to them talk like this, and really found that the cattle and sheep that Li Butcher gave to Ding Xuyu on credit were a little thin compared to the other livestock tied in the yard, she frowned, and thought to herself, could it be that Li Butcher didn't see her token? Otherwise, how could he give a skinny livestock like Ding Xuyu?
Or was there an accident in it?
Although Li Butcher didn't know that he was his master, but someone above him ordered, seeing his token, it was like seeing the master, he shouldn't have been so lazy, could it be that something went wrong?
The Du family looked at Ding Xuyu and Bai Jinyu indifferently, their deep eyes were full of displeasure, and they almost issued an order to expel the guests.
The old man of the Du family glanced at Du Qing, then turned his head behind his back and walked forward.
Du Qing understood, walked in front of Ding Xuyu, and snorted triumphantly: "Don't you understand what my father means?" Ding Xuyu, either you stay alone, or you will take this half-slave and get out of the Du Mansion together! ”
"There is still time for half a pillar of incense to start the sacrificial ceremony, hurry up and let them go, don't spoil everyone's interest! By the way, leave those five cows and sheep behind! ”
Du Ru frowned, and glanced at the two young and strong teenagers, just when the two teenagers were about to blast Ding Xuyu out, Bai Jinyu lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Xuyu, when you went to look for Butcher Li, but the five livestock that Butcher Li personally gave you?" ”
"No, Butcher Li was not at home at that time, it was Butcher Li's son who went to lead the cattle and sheep, he originally didn't want to take credit, I showed him the token, he was willing to take credit, but he was a little reluctant. It's just that his father has an order that let him see this token, and he must not be lazy. ”
Ding Xuyu spread his hands and said, Bai Jinyu nodded, and there was a flash of clarity in his eyes. No wonder, she knew that Li Butcher didn't have the courage to slack off, it turned out that his son took the livestock. But no matter what kind of fork there is, since they are here, they must participate in this great sacrifice!
Bai Jinyu's eyes rolled slightly, and a thought came to her mind, she was about to come to Ding Xuyu's ear and teach him a few words, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums at the door of Du's house! In the sound of gongs and drums, there are also bursts of cattle and sheep screaming!
