Chapter 167: Always serve the country with loyalty
Ding Qian returned to the small courtyard rented by himself and Qiu Ju on Changle Street. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qiu Ju was sitting on a small stool, washing the clothes of two people with a large wooden basin.
Seeing that Ding Qian was back, Qiu Ju hurriedly brought a basin of foot-washing water to the house, and said thoughtfully: "Brother, you have been very tired in the past two days, hurry up and wash your feet and fall asleep on the bed!" ”
Ding Qian smiled and said, "It's okay, fortunately, my young body can withstand and hold up." It's just that I'm feeling a little tired. ”
Qiu Ju nodded: "That's it, this low-level intercession is the most tiring." It's also fortunate that you have been able to maneuver for a while, otherwise Xie Jinwu would not know how to be unlucky.
Ding Qian waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, even if Xie Jinwu's matter is over, let's not always talk about it." Speaking of this, he looked at Qiu Ju and said: "Qiu Ju, the weather is gradually getting colder this autumn, and the water is getting colder, so you can't stop washing clothes, and send the clothes of the two of us to the pulp washing house to wash them." ”
Qiu Ju smiled: "I was born with a tired life, let's be idle, I can't be tired, and what is the point of doing this kind of work!" When I was at my mother's house, I did a lot more dirty and tiring work, didn't I survive it! ”
Ding Qian took Qiu Ju's hand and said distressedly: "That's the past, there's no way, aren't you already with me now, how can I still let you suffer and suffer!" ”
Qiu Ju said a little excitedly: "Brother, I know you feel sorry for me, okay, this is the last time, next time I will send the clothes to the pulp washing house, okay!" ”
Ding Qian nodded and said, "That's fine." ”
Qiu Ju leaned closer to Ding Qian and said a little mysteriously: "Brother, I don't know if you heard any news outside." ”
Ding Qian was surprised: "What news, I'm only busy with Xie Jinwu's affairs these days, and I really haven't paid attention to it." ”
Qiu Ju said: "The world is going to be chaotic. ”
Ding Qian glared and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's a good peaceful day, how can it be!" ”
Qiu Ju said: "Brother, when I went to the market to buy vegetables this morning, I heard people talk about it, and the Khitan people in the north have sent troops to our Great Song Dynasty again. ”
Ding Qian said in surprise: "How is this possible, when I went to send Xie Jinwu just now, why didn't I listen to Chen Lang, Qiu Ju, you also know what Chen Lang's father does, will he not get the news." ”
Qiu Ju shook his head and said, "That's not possible, Chen Lang doesn't always go back to his father's house, maybe he doesn't know about some things." ”
Ding Qian said: "That's not right, I just met Wang Qinruo, who is an important minister of the court, why didn't he tell me that the Liao army was coming to attack." ”
Qiu Ju said: "It may be that the king is the minister of the court, so he can't easily discuss state affairs with you alone." ”
Ding Qian smiled and said, "So you hear those that can only be said to be rumors, not enough to be believed." ”
Qiu Ju tilted her head and said: "Rumors, some words were rumors at the beginning, but later they became facts. We have to prepare in advance, if not, quickly pack up some softness, and quickly take your father and mother to escape. ”
Ding Qian said: "I told you that these are all rumors, why run for your life?" Besides, if the Liao State really wants to start a war with our Great Song Dynasty, it will be impossible to reach the capital. Have you forgotten that in the first year of Jingde, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State personally went out and raised the whole country's troops and horses to invade our Great Song Dynasty, and in the end, she was repelled by the emperor's personal expedition! ”
Qiu Ju said worriedly: "I think it's better to make some preparations in advance, so as not to be in a hurry when things come to an end." ”
Ding Qian waved his hand impatiently and said: "Alas, I see that you are just full of food now, and you have nothing to think about there, it is really a woman's opinion, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Okay, don't be nagging here, I'm going to get some sleep. ”
Qiu Ju said a little unhappily: "Okay, just when I didn't say anything, you can sleep well!" As he spoke, he picked up the foot-washing water, walked into the yard and splashed it outside the door.
At this time, I heard someone say: "Why are you like this, I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to come to see you, but you splash people with water, it's really not like words." ”
Qiu Ju hurriedly walked out of the courtyard gate and saw that Yue'er and Liu Mei were standing outside the gate, so she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Uncle Mei, Yue'er is really sorry, I didn't mean to!" ”
Yue'er smiled and said, "Sister Qiu Ju, I also know that you didn't mean it!" ”
Liu Mei said: "Is Shopkeeper Ding at home?" ”
Qiu Ju said with a smile on her face: "I am here, I don't know if you two can come, you are lying in bed to sleep." ”
Liu Mei said: "What kind of sleep do you sleep in the daytime, it is because you are not feeling well." ”
Qiu Ju shook her head and said, "No, no, it's just that I've been a little idle and tired in the past two days." ”
Liu Mei said: "Oh, what is it that makes Shopkeeper Ding so concerned. ”
Ding Qian heard the sound of talking outside in the house, hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out, and when he saw that it was Liu Mei and Yue'er, he said happily: "Rare guests, hurry up and invite them in the house." ”
The four of them entered the house, Qiu Ju made tea, but took out a big basket containing jujubes and peanuts and put it on the table and said to Yue'er: "Come to Yue'er to eat some jujubes, peanuts are good to give Uncle Mei a big fat boy as soon as possible." ”
Yue'er blushed and smiled: "Sister Qiu Ju, Uncle Mei and I have only been together for a few days, unlike you and Shopkeeper Ding who have not borne fruit for so long, we are not in a hurry." ”
As soon as she heard this, Qiu Ju's face was instantly covered with dark clouds and said: "I wanted to come, but Ding Qian refused to live or die, so I will talk about it later." ”
Yue'er said: "Then when will this be waiting!" ”
Ding Qian interjected beside him: "When will it be, of course, it will be when the melons are ripe." ”
Liu Mei patted Ding Qian's shoulder and said: "The old lady said that the matter of giving birth to a child, don't follow the blind mixing, let me ask you, just now Qiu Ju said that you have been doing some idle work these days, is it Xie Jinwu's business!" ”
Ding Qian nodded and said, "Uncle Mei's is a well-informed person, how do you know about this." ”
Liu Mei smiled: "What's so strange about this, now the people in the entire Tokyo Bianliang City don't know that the new champion smashed the stone lion in front of the Tianbo Yang Mansion." Now the old Yang family's face was disgraced, and Xie Jinwu also caused a big disaster. ”
Ding Qian smiled and said, "It's not as serious as you said, and now the matter is over." Turned a page. ”
Liu Mei patted her forehead with her hand and said, "That's good, that's good." It is really the luck of the Song Dynasty and the luck of the people of Li. ”
Ding Qian said: "Uncle Mei, how do you say this." ”
Liu Mei said: "Shopkeeper Ding, what do you think, this Xie Jinwu smashed the stone lion of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, it is obvious that it is a black blind man who called the door bear to the house, if the old lady She does not relentlessly run to the court to make trouble, Wang Qinruo behind Xie Jinwu will come out again to mix, wouldn't it be another dragon and tiger fight, this fight, the final result is also a lose-lose situation, the Yang family took the opportunity to put aside the pick, what can I do, and now the Liao State is raising troops to attack, who can resist the enemy." ”
Ding Qian said in surprise: "Uncle Mei, have you also heard the news that the Liao army is coming to attack." ”
Liu Mei said: "Of course, that's why I came to you to talk to you and relieve the boredom in my heart." ”
Ding Qian said: "Uncle Mei is really worried about the country and the people. ”
Liu Mei groaned: "Don't wear a high hat for me, I can't talk about worrying about the country and the people, but think about this war, it is those ordinary people who suffer and suffer, I can't say what it feels like in my heart." ”
Ding Qian said: "Just now Qiu Ju told me that the Liao army was going to commit something, I thought it was just a rumor on the streets and alleys, it seems that this is true." ”
Liu Mei said: "Of course it's true. Fortunately, now the matter between Xie Jinwu and the Yang family has calmed down, otherwise the old Yang family will put aside their picks, and who can resist the fierce Liao people. ”
Ding Qian said: "Uncle Mei, don't be so pessimistic, the Great Song Dynasty is not only a military general of the Yang family. Isn't there any other Gao family general and Hu family general! ”
Liu Mei shook her head and said, "Shopkeeper Ding, don't you know, the Gao family generals and Hu family generals are all freshly baked molten iron, and they are just hot for a while." Shouting that the two families can now be said to be rats under the bean soil for a lifetime, and then there can be no successor, and it is worth them to resist the Liao people, and the Liao people have long drunk the Ma Bianshui River. ”
Ding Qian suddenly realized: "Uncle Mei, in this way, the only hope for my Great Song Dynasty now is Tianbo Yang Mansion." ”
Liu Mei nodded solemnly and said: "Of course, although I, Liu Mei, don't know how to use soldiers, but I also see that others are sent to death in vain, and now only Yang Zongbao of Tianbo Mansion can lead the troops to take command and go to the border pass to resist the Liao soldiers." ”
Ding Qian said: "That's what I said. ”
Liu Mei took a sip of tea and said: "That being said, even if Yang Zongbao is in command and goes to the border to defend against the enemy, he may not be able to repel the Liao army for a while and a half, and it is difficult to say who will kill this deer!" ”
Ding Qian said in surprise: "With Yang Zongbao's bravery, can't he beat the people of Liao!" ”
Liu Mei smiled bitterly: "Not bad! Yang Zongbao is indeed very powerful, but the Liao State is not given in vain, and the country is also full of elite soldiers, especially after the defeat of the first year of Jingde, after six or seven years of recuperation, and now they have recovered their vitality, this move is inevitable for the invasion of our Great Song Dynasty, and they will not give up easily, if they are not beaten hard, they will never retreat, this is a life-and-death contest! ”
Ding Qian felt that his blood was boiling when he heard this, and said: "Uncle Mei, the man who is in danger of the country can wait and ignore it, you can see if I can also go to the court to ask for my life to go to the border and kill the enemy to serve the country." ”
Liu Mei shook her head like a rattle and said, "Ding Qian, do you think this battlefield is child's play, it's not good to lose your head." Besides, you have the power to tie the chicken, and second, you are not like the Yang family, the Gao family, and the Hu family, they have been holding the Great Song Dynasty for generations, and they should be loyal to the country. ”
Ding Qian smiled: "Uncle Mei, you don't know yet, right?" A few days ago, I already received the post of the rafters of the Yin Supplement Mansion, and I can be regarded as a person who takes the country's money, so I should also share my worries for the country. ”
Liu Mei sighed and said: "Alas, I've seen people robbing silver, I've seen people robbing officials, but I've never seen people rushing to die, the Buddha doesn't save the damned, you can do it yourself!" ”
Ding Qiandao: "Uncle Mei, the Buddha said that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell." This time, I Ding Qian, I will let it go, and I have passed the addiction of killing the enemy and serving the country over there, even if the horse leather shroud is blood-stained on the battlefield, it is worth it. ”
Liu Mei stood up, gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, okay, Ding Qian!" Don't look at your usual politeness, but you still have a lot of blood. I admire you! ”
Ding Qian opened his throat and sang: "Good man, full of courage, ambition and pride are famous all over the world!" ”
