Chapter 101: Conscience
In the evening, the golden sunset shines on the earth, covering the green willows and weeping poplars, and the river embankment and stream. The river workers, who had come back from work for dinner, took off their clothes roughly, and frolicked in a large blister.
They are not afraid that they will be seen by women, it doesn't matter if those aunts see them, women in the countryside, even young women who don't dare to let men see even a neck before marriage, and there are many women who sit under the old locust tree at the head of the village after marriage to nurse their children, not to mention that they are all aunts who have watched them grow up naked.
As for Luo Dong'er, don't worry, she has always hid far away when she sees a place with many men, not to mention that now as the river continues to open up, it will soon be connected to the river dug by another village and town, and the camp tent is also constantly moving forward, and now their stove is buried in a col next to it, and several cooks live there, and Mrs. Dong will not leave the col easily.
As soon as Ding Hao finished work, he walked towards the mountain pass, and when he arrived at the tent, he just took a look inside, and an aunt smiled and said, "Looking for Dong'er, right?" She's still on the stove. ”
"Oh, thank you, auntie." Ding Hao smiled and walked to the stove.
The eldest aunt behind her smiled with a smile on the soles of her shoes: "Look, what I said is right, Dumb, this kid, is chasing with all his heart, as the old saying goes, the fierce girl is afraid of pestering Lang, I don't think Dumb is not in vain, Dong Xiaoniang's eyebrows and corners of the eyes are full of joy." ”
"Well, it's just that Dong Li's pass is difficult, if Dong Xiaoniang is also a pungent person, then it's okay, she has a soft temperament, I'm afraid that Dong Li's pass will not be easy."
"Hey, Dong Li Shiba is looking forward to making people for a lifetime? Just look at it, although Dong Xiaoniang doesn't have much idea, Dumb this kid has an idea. ”
When Ding Hao arrived at the stove, he slowed down, tiptoed over, bypassed the two firewood stacks and mounds, and saw Luo Dong'er squatting next to a stove pit, the fire was not extinguished, and her face was red and red. She searched for something with her stick in the burned ashes at the edge of the pit, and suddenly, with a joyful face, pulled two black objects from the ashes, patted them in her hand, and then took out a coarse cloth handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wrapped them in.
"What's baking?" Ding Hao squatted down next to her with a grin.
"Ah," Luo Dong'er was startled, and when she saw that it was him, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "You have long legs, and you are here when they are just baked." ”
Ding Hao smiled: "Hehe, leave it for me?" What's that? ”
"Huai Yam, people say, this thing is a little ginseng, to replenish the deficiency and strengthen the body, I dug it in the mountains, and I saw that you worked on the river all day long, so ...... I'll bake two pieces for you to eat. ”
Luo Dong'er said a little shyly, urging: "You taste it, it's a little sweet, just eat it while it's hot." ”
"Don't worry, it's still a little hot, why are you still burning the fire?"
"Boiling ginger soup, one bowl per person can prevent disease, this is what Zhen Baozheng confessed."
"Well, I'll help you." Ding Hao stuffed a few handfuls of firewood into it, the fire flared, and the red firelight reflected Luo Dong'er's pretty face, although the two of them often had some affectionate actions in private, but being looked at by Ding Hao like this, she was still very shy, and her chest fell together, and the speed was a little fast.
Ding Hao looked back, leaned over and kissed her lightly on the cheek, Luo Dong'er said in surprise: "You are crazy, let people see you." ”
"It's not the first time we've been together, who still doesn't know how to hide away, let us say something intimate?"
Luo Dong'er bit her lower lip with her fine white teeth, and said softly with a red face: "When did you say intimate things to others?" As soon as you see no one, you move your hands and feet. ”
Ding Hao chuckled: "You don't know this, other people's private exchanges between men and women are also like this, this is also talking, and it is the most intimate and intimate words, called body language, understand?" Come, Brother Haozi will tell you something more intimate. ”
The more he saw her shy, the more Ding Hao wanted to tease her, he salivated his face closer, reached out and touched Dong'eryi's arms, only a thin layer of obscene clothes, the ball of nephrite was soft, slippery, and very hot by the fire, Ding Hao's heart couldn't help but waver. Luo Dong'er was ashamed, the ball bounced off the ground like a ball, and he was about to run away from him. A few steps after running out, he saw Zhen Baozheng walking towards him, Luo Dong'er hurriedly stood with a dizzy face, and said crampedly: "Bao Zhengye."
"Hmm!" Zhen Baozheng coughed and asked, "This...... Is Steward Ding here? ”
Luo Dong'er said embarrassedly: "Steward Ding...... He's over there. ”
Ding Hao came out from behind the stove pit, put his hands behind his back, and said with a serious face: "Zhen Baozheng, is there something wrong?" ”
Zhen Baozheng showed a smile on his face: "Steward Ding, someone from Ding's Mansion is here, it's Zhen Zhu'er, that kid drove the car of Young Master Ding, saying that he wanted to take you back." It seems that this place is about to be completed, and he doesn't bother with the stewardship of Lao Ding, he said that the young master Ding has important matters to be handed over to the steward of Ding. ”
"What?" Ding Hao was stunned, and Luo Dong'er on the side was also stunned when he heard it, and his face suddenly turned a little pale. These days, she deceives herself and enjoys the sweetness of love, but she has never seriously thought about how to meet him once she returns to the village and is again under the care of Dong Li. What is good about this experience?
Luo Dong'er was angry for a while, and felt self-pity for a while, but she just wished that Fang Cai would let him fulfill his wish, and after finishing those "intimate words", he would be able to have more sweet memories in the future......
At this moment, Zhen Baozheng turned to Luo Dong'er again, and said with a strange look: "Little lady Dong, you also clean up, Zhen Zhu'er also said that he wants to take you back together, saying that your craftsmanship is good, and the young master Ding specially promised the benefits of Dong Li's family and let you enter the Ding Mansion to be a needle girl." You also know that Young Master Ding's clothes are not very easy to make now......"
Both of them were dumbfounded......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Ding Mansion, Ding Tingxun and Ding Chengzong, father and son, sat on the chair and looked at the gardenia tree in front of the hall. The fragrance of flowers was fragrant, and the father and son looked at the fragrance of a tree thoughtfully, and their expressions and behaviors were surprisingly similar.
Ding Tingxun said slowly: "People say that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, but now it seems that Zhao Xianggong has made up his mind not to allow Liu Zihan and Liu Zhifu to go on a small boat. If he wants to overturn a small boat, the man he sends will dare to overturn a row of sampans. The Ding family has had a bad year and disasters one after another. Zong'er, what are your ideas? ”
Ding Chengzong pondered for a while before he said: "Daddy, our Ding family is on a business path, borrowing from officials, but we can't influence the affairs of officialdom, not to mention that this time it is difficult for a prime minister to be a prefect, he ...... It's collapsed, and we can only think about how to let my Ding family not capsize with him. ”
Ding Tingxun sighed: "It's difficult, they want to take the evidence of my Ding family's bribery, and they really got it, how can we end up?" ”
Ding Chengzong said slowly: "We can only adapt to the situation and see the moves." This time, in order to investigate Liu Zihan's case, the imperial court transferred many officials from nearby prefectures and counties, one of which was Zhao Jie, the governor of Linqing County. We can start with him and see if there is a chance to get away with it. ”
Ding Tingxun frowned and said, "Linqing County Lieutenant Zhao Jie? Is it a friend you've made? ”
"It's not me, it's Ding Hao. Daddy, have you forgotten that the county lieutenant who lost his official seal ......"
"Oh ......", Ding Tingxun tightened his brows, and sighed after a long silence: "Zong'er, what is your idea?" Would you rather give your family business to an outsider than assist your brother? ”
Ding Chengzong's face suddenly flushed, and the gloom gradually disappeared after a while, and he let out a long breath before he said: "Daddy, you are dedicated to the Ding family, and so is your son." It doesn't matter who is in charge, what matters is whether the foundation of the Ding family will collapse. Speaking of which, although Ding Hao is not a descendant, he is not an outsider! ”
Ding Tingxun suddenly said angrily: "You have recognized that your brother is an unsuccessful person? Yes, that Ding Hao is not exactly an outsider, but because of this, I have never wanted to use him. I have two sons-in-law, do I have to hand over the family business to a concubine? Besides, he has grown so big, although he and I have a father and son, how can he ever have a father-son relationship? If you really hand over the family business to him, will he treat you like brothers? It's okay if I'm alive, after I die, as the head of the family, if he wants to take revenge, you, your younger brothers and sisters, and the eldest mother and second mother will probably be swept away. ”
Ding Chengzong said lightly: "Maybe, people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows." However, at least in that case, the Ding family is still there, and the surname is not Zhang Wang Zhao Li. But...... If the Ding family is handed over to Chengye, I am afraid that this building will collapse, but it will be a matter of a blink of an eye. ”
"You ......", Ding Tingxun's face turned red with anger, and he coughed a few times before he said, "Your second brother, is it so useless?" ”
Ding Chengzong's face was expressionless, and he continued: "If our Ding family is just a small family with a solid duty, then, if Chengye is not a difficult person to provoke, this business will be defeated by him, and it may be enough for him to lose to the generation of his son and grandson." But our Ding family is different, the tree is very popular, how many people are staring at the Ding family, looking forward to its collapse? The stall of the Ding family is so big, and there is a big flaw, but it is easier to collapse than that of a small household. Dad, maybe Chengye is good at disguise in front of you, maybe in your eyes, he is just a little profligate, of course it's just a small section. However, you haven't noticed that his problems are not limited to this, to put it mildly, if the second brother is not your flesh and blood, he is not qualified to be a steward! ”
Ding Tingxun's face turned pale: "Could it be that in your eyes, Ding Hao is a hundred times stronger than Chengye?" Hum! Don't think I don't know, he's out there now, and he's hooking up with a little widow! ”
Ding Chengzong smiled: "People don't like young people, my son just said that it's just a small section, I believe my father also sees it this way." I'm afraid it's Daddy's consistent hatred of him that makes you completely ignore his strengths. In any case, the current officials of Bazhou Mansion have been completely changed, and if we want to get rid of the current situation, we can't do without this useless Ding Hao in your eyes. ”
Ding Tingxun gritted his teeth and sat down without saying a word.
Ding Chengzong said indifferently: "My son has already sent a car to pick him up." The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, up and down. The son assigned the twelve acres of land leased by the Dong family to the name of Dong Li, and on this condition, in exchange for her promise to let Dong Xiaoniang go to the house to be a needle girl, in fact, ...... It's just that I want to find an opportunity to do a favor for Ding Hao and her. This is not kindness, kindness can only be done by Daddy, whether he can willingly admit that he is a descendant of the Ding family is all up to Daddy's thoughts. If you want to keep him, Daddy, you must think clearly......"
Ding Tingxun said angrily: "What do you want to think about as a father? ”
Ding Chengzong sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Daddy, if you want to, you dislike that Ding Hao, be wary of that Ding Hao, in the end, do you really dislike the Yang family's lowly status, and look at that Ding Hao is not eye-catching, or is it because of ...... Do you hate yourself? ”
Ding Tingxun was furious: "Ridiculous, what do you hate yourself for your father? ”
"Daddy, don't you think...... It was you who killed your mother, every time you see Ding Hao, it evokes the guilt in your heart, that's why you hate him so much? ”
"Boom", Ding Tingxun's heart suddenly rang like a huge bell, which shocked him and made him lose his soul, and he sat there in a daze, unable to make a sound for a long time.
