(Yesterday the code word was tired, hurriedly entered the group and glanced at it, and saw a person say, next week's list situation is grim, Yu asked blankly, did not answer, then buried his head in the code word, ignored it, today look at the list to know, it turns out that Tang Sanshao's new book turned out to be a bird, everyone votes for some recommendations, the old man to poke him juhua okay?^_^)

Ding Chengzong walked around the village, returned to Ding's mansion happily, and just entered the gate, he saw a person standing there with a face full of embarrassment and bowed to Yanjiu, seeing that the person's clothes were not like the people in the house, Ding Chengzong waved his hand and signaled the sedan chair man to go over.

When he got closer, Ding Chengzong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

As soon as Yan Jiu saw that it was him, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Big young master, this person is sent by the Ye family's car dealership, a new foot, he doesn't know the rules, and he doesn't dare to work the young master......"

Ding Chengzong smiled faintly, but still asked, "What's the matter?" This time, the tone was a little calm.

Yan Jiuyi was suffocated, and he didn't dare to prevaricate anymore. Ding Chengzong often walked outside, but the man recognized him, so he stepped forward and sang a fat song: "The villain has seen Ding Dagongzi, the villain was originally the foot of the Ye family's car dealership, and sent a few letters to your mansion." In one of them, the guest officer specifically specified that it should be handed over to me, because the villain did not dare to hand it over to the Yan Da Steward in violation of the law. ”

Ding Chengzong frowned, the Ye family car company has a number of branches in the northwest region, both transporting people and goods, and also carrying letters for the people, which are all their business scope. The people who can have correspondence with the Ding family are either close relatives and friends or business partners, and the correspondence has indeed always been handed over by Yan Jiu, I don't know who wrote the letter, indicating who to give it to.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the letter, and to whom is it delivered?" ”

The guy from the Ye family car dealer said: "I don't know who the guest officer who wrote the letter is, I don't know who the villain is, this letter was brought by the Guangyuan branch of this car dealership, and the postage was specially paid, and it was stated that it must be handed over to Ding Hao himself in your house." The villain doesn't know, who is this Ding Hao from your mansion? ”

Ding Chengzong was a little surprised, a little stunned, and then smiled: "Oh, Ding Hao, that is also a steward of this mansion." He has been instructed by the state government to take people to dig the river and repair the canal, can you give me this letter? I will send it to him. ”

Ding Dashao spoke, the weight was different from Yan Jiu, and besides, Ding Dashao made a promise in business, that is a heroic character, the guy from the Ye family car dealership has heard his name for a long time, and he has great trust in him, and after a little hesitation, the man smiled and said: "Originally, this is not in accordance with the rules, but Ding Dagongzi and the villain still can't believe it?" ”

He glanced at Yan Jiu, didn't want to offend him, and said: "Actually, Yan Jiuye's villain is also trustworthy, but they have specified that they will be handed over to him, and the villain will not dare to be the master." Since this steward Ding is not in the house, what ...... There is the eldest son of Lao. ”

Ding Chengzong took the letter with a smile, signed and drew on his signature book, then waved his hand, the small sedan chair went straight to the inner house, Yan Jiu stood with Xiao Xiao, and waited until Ding Chengzong's sedan chair was far away, then he slowly raised his head and spat fiercely.

Ding Chengzong returned to his room, put the letter on the table, looked at it in a daze, and reached out to touch it from time to time, with a thoughtful expression.

Lu Xiangwu summoned people to make hot tea, held the cup and plate on the bookcase, poured a cup for him, and said softly: "Official, why are you so difficult?" ”

She glanced at the letter, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Is this letter...... Send that Xue Liang to Ding Hao, isn't it done. ”

Ding Chengzong nodded, shook his head again, reached out to touch the tea, suddenly retracted it again, pondered for a moment, then picked up the letter and slowly tore open the seal. Lu Xiangwu's charming eyes suddenly opened wide, reached out to cover her cherry-like mouth, and looked at her husband in surprise.

Ding Chengzong's eyelids didn't flirt, he just slowly tore open the envelope, carefully placed the letter on the table, and then unfolded the letter and looked at it, Lu Xiangwu couldn't help but be curious, and had the heart to lean over to see the contents, but he didn't dare, just sat opposite and looked at her husband's face.

But Ding Chengzong has the style of a father, the city is deep, and his joy and anger are invisible, how can he see any clues from his face. Ding Chengzong hurriedly read the letter, covered the letter paper, closed his eyes, and pondered. Lu Xiangwu didn't dare to disturb, and only sat quietly on the side.

After pondering for a while, Ding Chengzong unfolded the letter, read it from beginning to end again, and suddenly ordered: "Fetch the fire candle." ”

Lu Xiangwu exclaimed: "Official." ”

"Fetch the candle!" Ding Chengzong glanced at her sternly, Lu Xiangwu didn't dare to say any more, got up obediently, lit a candle and held it to the desk, and Ding Chengzong lit the letter with a candle.

"Officials ......", Lu Xiangwu called, but he didn't know what to say.

Ding Chengzong shook off the ashes in his hand, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said astringently: "Wu'er, this is for the husband...... For the first time in my life, I have failed to ......"

"Official......" Lu Xiangwu had the heart to comfort him, but when the words came to his mouth, it was difficult to speak.

Ding Chengzong's eyes moistened, and he said softly to himself: "Only when the roots are deep can the tree be thick, if one root rots, and there is no other vigorous root to support it, this big tree will be prosperous...... When the wind blows, it will collapse. I did this for my husband, not for myself, but just to leave a life for this big tree, I hope ...... He can understand my hard work......"

Lu Xiangwu couldn't hold back and said: "Official, believe it...... Who wrote and what did you say? ”

Ding Chengzong shook his head, lay down on the bamboo pillow sideways, and said tiredly: "Don't ask more, I'm tired, I need to rest." ”

"Yes!" Lu Xiangwu bowed her head gracefully, raised it again and smiled at her husband reluctantly, Yingying stood up, put a thin blanket on him, and quietly withdrew......

The river repaired by Bazhou Mansion is twenty miles away from Dingjiazhuang, which happens to pass through Dingjiatian, and is connected with several small rivers that often dry up between Qianmo. With this big river, unless there is a major drought that has not been encountered in ten years or nine, it can generally ensure the irrigation of nearby fields, and the villagers know the importance of water sources best, especially the people in the northwest, so the strong men of these villagers are still very enthusiastic about building this big river that is closely related to their own interests.

When they arrived at the place, the upstream of the canal route was demarcated by a water conservancy official from the state government with a group of officials who patrolled and showed them the route of the canal. The section of the river that Dingjiazhuang is responsible for is not short, and according to the labor calculation of more than 100 people, the completion of this section of the river will take about a month.

In the northwest region, there were many marching tents in the official warehouse, and a number of them were transferred, and some people from the government taught them to bury piles and brackets and set up a tent on the ground. As for the grain, it was two carts pulled from the Ding family, and it was deducted from it when the grain was handed over.

This first day was to build tents, dig stoves and bury pots, and survey routes, and the busy ones passed. They brought vegetables, and a few cooks picked some wild vegetables from the nearby low hillside to match, but the food was not bad.

There is also a dilapidated mountain temple on the low hillside, Zhen Baozheng said to Ding Hao after seeing it, after seeing it, a big river will be opened here, it is better to renovate this mountain temple and change it into a dragon king temple, bless the township with good wind and rain, and sufficient water sources.

Zhen Baozheng suggested repairing the mountain temple, naturally he wanted to get benefits from it, Ding Hao was the steward of Ding's mansion, and he was a celebrity in front of Master Ding, so he told him to let him instigate Old Lady Ding to nod. Ding Hao thought about finishing the canal, almost a month later, he was going to fly away, where would he care about this matter, so he only smiled and agreed, and said vaguely that he would go back and talk to the master, if the master agreed, he would inevitably have to bother Zhen Baozheng to take the lead, Zhen Baozheng was overjoyed when he heard it, and he revealed a little affection for Ding Hao.

Coaxed Zhen Baozheng to leave, Ding Hao subconsciously went to look for Luo Dong'er's figure again, raised his eyes and saw that he had just dug another stove pit in the evening, and just saw Luo Dong'er squatting there busy cooking, and he didn't know where to go for a while.

Ding Hao couldn't help but wonder: "Fang Cai is still there, what about the people?" ”;
