Ding Nianyi knew that Du Ping was crying on purpose to show him, he immediately rolled his eyes, and there was a touch of helplessness on his handsome and incomparable face, he didn't want to listen to Du Ping crying here anymore, so he walked to the table, held the iron box, and left the hall with Bai Jinyu.

"My silver! O my money! Now that the silver is in the hands of the little slut, God really can't open his eyes! ”

Even if Ding Nianyi and they left the hall, they could still hear Du Ping's scolding voice clearly, Ding Nianyi tilted his head slightly, gently picked up Bai Jinyu's chin, rubbed it a few times, and his eyes were full of helplessness: "Xiao Jinyu, I'm sorry, my mother has such a temperament and makes you suffer." ”

"There's nothing to suffer, she just hits me a few times and scolds me a few times, and I can stand it. By the way, Nian Yi, didn't you say that you are going to buy clothes in Rong Town tomorrow? Tomorrow you are going to go to the pastoral family with your mother, where is the time to buy clothes?

Why don't you go to-day, and come back before dark, and bring me a pair of boots, the soles of which were scratched by stones while they were in the wilderness. ”

After Bai Jinyu finished talking, Ding Nian turned his head, glanced at the sky outside the house, and stretched: "Cheng, then I'll go, Jinyu, now my mother is angry, you are hiding in the house, no matter how she calls you, don't come out, without me to protect you, she may not know how to toss you." ”

"Yes, be careful all the way."

Bai Jinyu's cold eyes, with a light smile, stood on tiptoe, and lightly printed a kiss on Ding Nianyi's forehead, Ding Nianyi's eyes were stunned, he looked at Bai Jinyu's face that was close at hand, and he could even see the fluff on her face in front of him, this young man who has always been stubborn was a little at a loss for a while.

"Ahem, ahem...... Jinyu, this is the first time you kiss me personally...... Are you ...... Do you have any thoughts on me? ”

The young man could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat, and Bai Jinyu glared angrily: "Don't hurry up yet, if you don't go, it's going to be dark." ”

Ding Nianyi looked at Bai Jinyu with lost eyes, and while walking outside, he turned back in three steps, like an abandoned little milk dog: "Jinyu, my life is so hard." ”

"If you don't leave, it's really dark."

"Oh......"

The boy said sullenly.

Bai Jinyu looked at his back with a cold expression for a long time, and it was not until Ding Nianyi's figure disappeared that Bai Jinyu removed his eyes, with a touch of solemnity in his eyes.

She left the courtyard, found a remote place, clapped her hands gently, Mu Chen's figure flashed, and then came to her, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Subordinates see the master." ”

"Mu Chen, I want you to go to the palace of the King of the Imperial City and secretly get something."

"Lord, what do you take?"

"A receipt from many years ago, I will tell you what this note looks like and where it is stored. You must take the note before it gets dark, put the note at the door of Ding's house, and deliberately let Ding Nianyi pick it up. ”

"Yes!"

Mu Chen nodded, and then he didn't delay any longer, his figure was like a ghost, and he left here and went to the direction of the imperial city, Hong Village is far away from the direction of the imperial city, and it is really difficult to go back and forth before dark, but Bai Jinyu explained to Mu Chen, and Mu Chen has never disappointed Bai Jinyu.

When the sky gradually began to darken, Mu Chen finally took the note and came to Ding's house, because of the long journey, his sideburns were a little scattered, Mu Chen glanced forward, and saw that Ding Nianyi had returned, so he hurriedly put the note at the door of Ding's house, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Ding Nian was holding a few packages in his hand, and when he was about to enter Ding's house, he suddenly found that there was a letter at the door of Ding's house, and a touch of surprise flashed in his peach blossom eyes.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Du Ping's angry scolding.

"You, now you have the money in your hand, don't listen to me, don't you? Let you cook a meal, you will grind and chirp! ”

After Du Ping scolded, when he thought of the silver, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he took the rattan and slapped Bai Jinyu several times, but he didn't stop.

"I warn you, you are not allowed to move with that silver, and if you dare to spend a penny, believe it or not that I will discount your bones?"

Bai Jinyu lowered her head slightly, let Du Ping beat and scold, and didn't say a word.

Where is she not cooking, it is clear that there is no seasoning, even the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are not enough, and the rice is gone, how can she cook?

"What are you doing? I'll let you speak, let you speak! ”

Du Ping saw Bai Jinyu's stuffy gourd appearance, and as soon as she didn't get out of breath for a while, she grabbed her ear and twisted it hard, and within a few seconds, Bai Jinyu's ear was congested and red, and if she twisted it again, she was afraid that it would be broken.

"Don't you know that Xue Yao is injured and weak? You deliberately don't cook, I suspect you're in the heart! ”

Bai Jinyu lowered her head and whispered: "There is no seasoning, and there is no rice......

Du Ping grabbed Bai Jinyu's ears, pressed her to the ground, and kicked her heart a few times: "You didn't find that these things were missing before?" Don't know how to buy it in advance? Now that the shops in the town are closed, you will go to the town early tomorrow morning to buy something, do you hear? I'm asking you! ”

Bai Jinyu's heart ached for a while, her brows frowned, and she whispered, Du Ping took her by the collar, threw her into the corner, and sneered: "In a while, you go to the cellar first, take some sweet potatoes and radishes and cook them for us to eat, within half an hour, I will eat, and besides, you are not allowed to eat tonight!" ”

Du Ping was also injured, but because Ding Nianyi gave her the medicine in time, her injuries healed relatively quickly, while You Xueyao's injuries were slow because of the missed best time to dress, and she couldn't get out of bed until now.

Du Ping quickly lowered his head and left the kitchen, Ding Nianyi also took the letter and walked towards the kitchen quickly, he saw the injury on Bai Jinyu's body, his pupils trembled slightly, and he held Bai Jinyu in his arms in distress, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his face instantly became cold: "Jinyu, did my mother scold you again just now?" Don't say no! I listened at the door! ”

Bai Jinyu's eyes moved lightly, and she smiled lightly: "No, I did something wrong myself." Nian Yi, why do you have a letter in your hand? ”

As long as Ding Nianyi is not there, Du Ping will never let go of any opportunity to trouble her, and will not let her be idle for a moment, since she got the iron box, Du Ping has been staring at her all the time.

Ding Nianyi snorted coldly, clenched Bai Jinyu's hand, slanted his eyes, and looked at her: "You think I will believe it?" It's not that I don't know what kind of character my mother is, what did she scold you? ”

"Don't ask, Nianyi, what are you holding in your hand?"

Ding Nianyi lowered his eyes and shook the letter in his hand: "Oh, Xiao Jinyu, I picked it up at the gate of the courtyard, and I was about to tell you about it, so let's go to the room and talk about it in detail." ”

He listened to Jinyu's words, but Jinyu didn't let him ask, so he didn't ask.

"Okay."

A flash of light flashed in Bai Jinyu's eyes, with deep meaning in her eyes.

After Bai Jinyu and Ding Nianyi arrived in the room, Bai Jinyu took the letter in his hand, opened it, and took out a receipt from it, Bai Jinyu was slightly stunned, glanced at the words on the receipt seriously, and handed it to Ding Nianyi.

"Nian Yi, you see, what is written on this receipt is that the Bai family of the Imperial City gave the Liu family three hundred taels of gold four years ago, in addition, it also wrote the detailed time and place, as well as the reason for the gift of gold, and it was also stamped with the seal of the imperial court."

"This thing is really strange, how could this receipt suddenly appear at the door of Ding's house? Was the wind blowing, or was someone doing it on purpose? What do you want us to do for him? ”

Ding Nian's eyes turned slightly, and he thought about it, he can often say the key in one sentence.

"I don't know about this either, Nian Yi, you better put this receipt away, maybe it will come in handy in the future. I heard my mother say that the thing that the You family wants to ask the Mu family to host is also related to this box of gold. ”

"Cheng, when I go to the Mu's house, I will bring this receipt with me."

"Don't tell anyone about this receipt, lest we get into trouble if we don't understand the situation."

"Well, Cheng, I know in my heart, Jinyu, I'll give you some medicine first, and then you can try whether the newly bought boots are suitable, but it's a pity that I didn't buy clothes suitable for my mother today."

Ding Nianyi carefully put the receipt in the envelope, then opened one of the packages and tried it on for Bai Jinyu, after about a few incense sticks, Bai Jinyu put on new boots, dressed in a green shirt, stood up, and said with a chuckle: "I don't make trouble with you, I still have to go to the kitchen to cook." ”

"Cooking? What else do you cook at this late hour? Jinyu, I'll go with you! ”

"No, you have a good rest, otherwise let my mother know, my mother should blame me again, you stay here and don't go, otherwise I will ignore you."

Ding Nian frowned, but he still insisted on standing up, Bai Jinyu pursed his lips, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and pressed him down: "Be obedient, otherwise I won't pay attention to you." ”

Bai Jinyu finished talking, then left here, went to the cellar behind the courtyard to get carrots and sweet potatoes, cooked them and brought them to the hall, Du Ping was indispensable, and scolded her for a while, Bai Jinyu only bowed her head and said nothing, and when Du Ping scolded her happily, she left the hall and went to serve a bowl of sweet potatoes and radishes, and gave Ding Nianyi to eat.

Ding Nianyi pursed his lips tightly, he didn't want to eat a bite, he had to ask Bai Jinyu to eat first, Bai Jinyu sighed, and his eyebrows were full of helplessness: "You person, how do you want me to say hello?" ”

"Eat quickly, or I'll starve myself to death!"

The young man looked serious, and when Bai Jinyu was full, he ate a sweet potato, and then leaned over to Bai Jinyu, with innocence in his peach blossom eyes: "Jinyu, I'll discuss something with you, I see that the weather is weird cold tonight, let's get together to keep warm, okay?" ”

"No, you go."

"Sad, sad, bored, and depressed."

"Get out."

On the morning of the second day, Du Ping's willingness was to let Bai Jinyu grind for others, earn some silver, buy some spices, and rice noodles, so that You Xueyao could rest at home for another day, but unexpectedly, You Xueyao's father was worried when he saw that You Xueyao had not returned for a day, so he came to Ding's house to see her.

You Wei looked about forty years old, tall and thin, with pleats at the end of his eyes, wearing a black robe, shrewdness with a bit of evil and gloomy, the more he looked, the more wrong he became.

You Wei took advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the hall, he held You Xueyao's hand tightly, and said in a serious tone: "Xue Yao, my father heard that when you and Du Ping went to the Mu family yesterday, the head of the Mu family did not come out to receive you, is this true or false?" ”

"Father, it's true, the head of the herdsman also said that he would only be willing to see Ding Nian as soon as he went."
