With Zhao Jiabao and Zhao Dutou coming forward, Chao Baozheng, the rich man of Huanshui Town, had to pinch his nose and agree to come down, and lent the backyard to the Ding family's convoy. When there is money to be made, push it out, this time I can't make a penny, and I have to politely invite people in, Chao Baozheng, who was a big miscalculation, was scolded by his mother-in-law as soon as he returned to the main house.

The back house of the Chao family is indeed very large, so big that the farmers of later generations are completely unimaginable. The northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, and the land in this area is relatively poor, so each family has a lot of land, as a local baozheng, the Chao family is powerful and powerful, and the land is naturally the most, and the land in his backyard is almost thirty acres, and it is not a problem for all the people in the Ding family team to live in it.

The weather tonight was particularly warm, even the wind blew on the body, and there was only one small inn in this town, so all the people in the Ding family's team simply lived in the Ding family and set up tents in the back house.

Since from here to the northwest, it is a really desolate area, except for some small villages where there are not a few households, there are almost no people, so it is necessary to purchase some necessary things for the past two days, so as soon as he settled down, Feng Dazhang took Chen Feng, Yang Ye, Li Shouyin and several other stewards to the town to start purchasing vegetables, dried meat, wine, wound medicine and other things needed on the way.

And Ding Hao accompanied Zhao Dutou and his entourage to drink wine in the afternoon, sent these masters out of the town, and when he returned to the back house of the Chao family, he was a little drunk. In fact, the alcohol content at this time is not high, so that there is a danger of souring if stored for too long, but after all, it is alcoholic, Ding Hao traveled all the way with the convoy, running before and after the arrangement, the body was already tired, and the drinking fatigue came up, so he returned to the tent and fell asleep with his head covered, and he slept for more than two hours before waking up, and when he woke up, it was already dark.

Ding Hao walked out of the tent, at this time many tired people were full of wine and food had fallen asleep, although there were many people living in the back house, but it was very lonely. To the right of the backyard is a hillside with many peach and plum fruit trees, their leaves gone, and only a lonely branch remains.

In the distance, when the gongs and cymbals on the town market are singing and dancing, the people in the town are still dancing the lion and dragon, and enjoying the lanterns and guessing riddles to celebrate the New Year. A string of red lanterns was carried on the high flagpole, swaying gently in the wind, and the sound of gongs and drums was lining, but it seemed that the courtyard of the back house was extremely quiet and deserted.

Ding Hao stood under the flagpole, woke up for a while, gradually sobered up, and began to think about his own thoughts. He came out this time, broadened his horizons, and also showed his ability in front of the deacons of the Ding family, but what will happen after he goes back, and what kind of attitude Ding Tingxun will have towards him, these are still difficult to determine, will his efforts be duly rewarded? Can you improve your situation in the Ding family from now on? Did you rely on Ding's to start your own business from then on? Maybe he doesn't have the opportunity to become a gentleman like Ding Tingxun, but with the knowledge he has, if he is given a chance, he will always be able to live a good life in this life. Life is to live, and if you can live happier than others, then it is enough.

Ding Hao was thinking about it, when there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned his head, Ding Yuluo was quietly walking. She was still dressed in men's clothes, but because she had just bathed, her long hair was not tied up, and it was surprisingly warm tonight, she didn't even wear a hat, and her pretty face was hidden between her soft hair, and her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

"Miss!" Ding Hao was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned around and shook it gently: "This afternoon, in order to deal with those errand servants, I haven't had time to ask the eldest lady for guilt, when I was in the town, in order to send away the head of Zhao Dutou, the villain pretended to be the person in charge of the Ding family and called the eldest lady by her name, which is really a sin." ”

Ding Yuluo stared at him for a while, and suddenly smiled, smiling like an epiphany under the moon: "Come on, don't pretend to be Mr. in front of me, you know a few words and you have to drop the bookbag with me." Can you send those ruffians away, you didn't miss our big thing, which is a merit, am I such a bad person, will I blame you for this? Hypocritical. ”

Ding Hao's face was hot, and Ding Yuluo said again: "I am a girl's family, leading the grain team to Guangyuan, and it is indeed not very convenient to deal with people along the way...... Aren't you the head of our fleet now? If the grain can be delivered to Guangyuan in time, it will be a great merit for you. ”

She walked lightly to Ding Hao's side, and a faint fragrance with a very high flow also wafted in, entering Ding Hao's nose.

"I've always been a little strange, you've never been far away, and you've never had any experience, why are you so old in dealing with people, even Deacon Liu and Deacon Li are not as good as you?"

Ding Hao stretched out his hand and said, "This ...... I don't know, I rushed up in a hurry, I said something at first, I was confused, but I slipped away as I spoke, I only thought that it would be good for us, but I thought about what the truth was. ”

Ding Yuluo sighed softly: "If it weren't for this, people really couldn't think of any other reason, alas, in this way, you are a natural genius who does not learn skills, if you can temper it again......"

She sighed faintly, turned around, looked into the distance and said, "I haven't met my eldest brother all the way, I think...... He should have taken the path back, and now he is home, but he doesn't know ...... How's his injury? ”

"The eldest young master is auspicious, as long as he asks a famous doctor for diagnosis and treatment after returning home, he is expected to ...... It's going to be fine. Ding Hao tried hard to think about the memories of Ding Chengzong in his mind, but it was very vague.

Ding Chengzong is different from Ding Chengye, he is a very mature and stable person, he took on most of the family business for his father at a young age, and he was busy outside most of the year, and when he returned to the house, Ding Hao met him a limited number of times, and the two had no intersection, so his impression of him was extremely weak.

"Yes, I think so too, I hope that the eldest brother will be natural." Ding Yuluo sighed for a while, and then lifted his spirits and said: "There are still three days, it is estimated that in three more days, we will be able to rush to Guangyuan." From now on, the road ahead is very desolate, and if there are really bandits and robbers who attack us, the road ahead is also the most suitable place for them to start, and we must be doubly vigilant. ”

"Yes, the villain saves."

Ding Yuluo looked back at him, and said with a smile: "You are a person who has eloquence and quick wisdom, but you haven't read the Eight Classics, but it doesn't matter if you haven't read a book, this northwest is a bitter cold place, and there are not many civilized people, to gain a foothold here, with real kung fu, reading the book of the sage, it may not be useful." If you have the chance, you can learn bow and horse kung fu. ”

"Archery and horse riding and archery, it is good to learn to strengthen the body, and it is also good to use it for self-defense, but the villain thinks that learning a very clever martial arts can not withstand dozens of people who are familiar with martial arts for a while.

Ding Hao is a person who came from a later generation, and people at that time attached importance to the power of knowledge, due to the invention of firearms, excellent physical fitness and martial arts could only be reduced to a competition performance, so Ding Hao had a little insufficient understanding of personal force in this era, and he disagreed with it in his heart. Ding Yuluo probably heard this argument for the first time, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Oh" and said, "So, what do you think?" ”;
