Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Year

Ding Yufu's delicate face flashed in Xue Tan's mind, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Xue Tan prides himself on not being a kind person, but he still thinks about it a lot at this time.

He never cared about the origin of those rouge vulgar fans when he went to the Jinghong Pavilion, anyway, the fact in front of him was that those people had some stories.

At the beginning, he told Siniang to ransom Ding Yufu and go to a place outside the capital. Now it seems that Ding Yufu has not gone home.

Sometimes Xue Tan had to sigh, it was too much of a coincidence.

The world is really too small.

"What's wrong? Do you know her? The woman looked at Xue Tan suspiciously, his reaction just now was indeed not quite in line with his identity.

Xiao Wang on the side also looked at him with some surprise.

Could it be that in addition to having a good impression of the girl a while ago, the general also showed affection to others outside?

"Probably the same name. The girl I know has a father and lives in the capital. ”

Xue Tan didn't know why he was lying at this time.

It's better not to give hope to the person in front of you. If she knew that Ding Yufu was in the capital and didn't come back, it would be another white joy.

Because her departure is already heart-wrenching.

The man seemed to know what Xue Tan was thinking, and spoke to himself: "If you meet it, you will meet it, she also wanted to go out at the beginning, and it is good to go out and break through."

Xue Tan did not speak.

Since he has already said that it may not be the same person, it can't be continued.

What's more, the person sitting opposite him seems to have stabilized his mood.

"If I'm not mistaken, your ...... at the time The mistake made by the husband is very unfair to you. Xue Tan didn't know how to start the topic, but he had to say it.

Otherwise, this trip will be in vain.

Xue Tan didn't even know what to call the soldier surnamed Ding for a moment.

"Speaking of which, this matter is really unjust." The woman seemed to be caught in a memory.

Her eyes flickered and dimmed as the memories poured out.

"The two of us were ...... by our respective parents at a very young age"

This woman's surname is Zhang, she is just a little girl in an ordinary family, and she has not received any special favor. Her parents were also very honest farmers, facing the loess all day long, just to earn a bite to eat for that family.

Zhang is the second in the family, and she has an older brother, but because the family is poor, she has never found a daughter-in-law.

Her parents took advantage of Zhang's young age to set a baby kiss for her. It is Ding Zuli's family, that is, the general who committed the crime.

It can be said that Zhang's marriage is for her brother, but she has no complaints.

She knew the whole thing, but never said anything from beginning to end.

Ding Zuli went to join the army in response to the response of the imperial court, and stayed in the army for many years.

When they got married, the two of them were only seven or eight years old, and after a few years, they couldn't remember what each other looked like.

The Ding family sent the dowry to the Zhang family early, and the matter was almost decided.

Later, one day, Ding Zuli received a letter from home in the barracks, saying that his daughter-in-law was going to come to see him in the barracks.

However, ordinary soldiers, family members, and miscellaneous people could not enter the barracks at all.

Ding Zuli thought that since his father had said so, he would definitely find a way.

He usually likes to drink and get dizzy, and at that time he couldn't turn his brain.

I had drunk too much the night before, and I was dazed enough to hear what people were talking about the women in the barracks. As a result, when I woke up the next morning, I didn't know what to do, and I felt that I had a flash of inspiration, so I quickly ran to the military prostitute camp.

The turnover of military prostitutes is indeed a relatively frequent and relaxed small organization.

He was understandably in his thoughts.

"And how were you going to get into the barracks?" Xue Tan asked a question that didn't seem to have anything to do with it.

"Ding family, no, my father-in-law found me someone and asked me to pretend to be a man and go in and have a look."

Xue Tan felt that this reason was not tenable at all, and he frowned.

"I was born thick, my hands were rough in the field all day long, and my skin was so dark that no one would recognize me if I slammed it any longer."

Zhang seemed to see Xue Tan's doubts, and continued.

"That day, there was also a soldier who wanted to sneak home and wanted me to replace him. He's just an ordinary cook, and I think I can do it. ”

The people who cook in the barracks are indeed specially recruited, and Xue Tan didn't expect this.

This matter made Xue Tan a little unable to turn around, he didn't expect that these little people would have so many thoughts.

Sure enough, for love, all kinds of people are the same.

Willing to give everything, willing to take risks.

"He is not usually so confused, even if he drinks, he should be sensible. He's really not that kind of person. "Zhang is still speaking for Ding Zuli.

"You haven't seen him, and you don't know him, have you?" Xue Tan had been trying hard to listen to Zhang's speech, and he didn't completely believe it.

Even if she lied, he didn't know.

So it's better to start listening now.

"I went to inquire about him secretly, and although we haven't met, we still have tokens. There is a red rope, and when they first got married, the two families exchanged two red ropes. ”

Zhang was a little embarrassed at first, probably ashamed to say what he had done to get to know him better.

Xue Tan subconsciously looked at Zhang's wrist, and there was nothing.

"After so many years, I can't wear it all the time. His later came to me, and I put them together. Actually, it's not useful. Zhang noticed Xue Tan's small movements.

"Actually, I didn't go that day, but later he was discovered by the emperor and just caught, and the security in the barracks was stricter, so I couldn't get in."

"No matter, even if you can get in, you won't get in, it's useless."

yes, it's useless.

The person I wanted to see was gone.

This blow to the Zhang family was deep enough, and Ding Zuli didn't even have a chance to explain from beginning to end, but even if there was, it was still inevitable that this ending would be unavoidable.

After all, what he provoked was a royal family that has no other family in the world.

The two families have a tacit understanding to care about this matter, the Ding family is ashamed, but the Zhang family can't manage it if they want to.

"So you came to this deep mountain and old forest by yourself?"

Xue Tan said quietly, this is the purpose of his trip.

Xue Tan quietly waited for Zhang's answer.

She seemed to be a little entangled, a little hesitant, and looked like she didn't know whether to say it or not.

What is there to hide from this?
