On the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it was called the "Duanwu Festival", because of the avoidance of the birthday of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (the fifth day of the eighth month), the fifth was changed to noon, and it was called the Dragon Boat Festival. Because during the Dragon Boat Festival, each family bathed in boiled water with chrysanthemum orchids, and the people of the Tang and Song dynasties also called the Dragon Boat Festival as the bathing orchid festival.

Leaving the mansion, Ding Hao first went to the market for a walk, spent a penny, asked a child playing on the street to go to Granny Liu's house to inform him, agreed to meet tomorrow, and returned to the inn.

Get up the next morning, wash up, go to the small shop across the street for breakfast, wait for a while, Granny Liu walked in from the back door of the shop, Ding Hao hurriedly explained to her, then left the restaurant to buy some gifts for the festival, and then went back to the inn to wait for the carriage of the pig, the carriage of the pig arrived, and then checked out and left to rush back to Dingjiazhuang.

Granny Liu ate at the small restaurant, bought four more flatbreads, returned to her house, covered the door, and went to the mill in the corner of the courtyard and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, the door opened with a "squeak", and a bald donkey poked its head out, with a shiny big bald head and a face as delicate as a woman.

"Granny Liu, it's so early." Bisu yawned lazily and rubbed his eyes.

Granny Liu scolded with a smile: "Morning fart, the old lady has gone out for a walk." Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the government has taken a big holiday, and everyone is empty, why don't you go out and step on the plate? Don't rely on your own skills, be cautious, be careful if you miss your hand, even if you are unlucky, you will be burdened by my mother-in-law and me. ”

Bisu said triumphantly: "Granny Liu, it's not that you don't know my Bisu's ability, flying eaves and walking on the wall, walking on the ground, entering the hall, coming and going freely." What's more, if you want to do such a thing, you can pay half of the salary in advance, right? You can't drink alcohol these days, and it's really uncomfortable to hook the wine worm in your stomach. ”

Granny Liu scolded twice, stuffed the flatbread into his hand, handed over a few pennies, and said with a straight face: "That's all, you kid, the more you mix, the more useless you become, you are dressed as a monk, and you have to eat and drink." ”

Bisu got the money, and said with a smile: "Granny Liu, you say so, but you can't do it." I didn't know the benefits of pretending to be a monk, but now I realize that pretending to be a monk is actually less vigilant, not only is it easier to steal money, but it is also much easier to seduce women. It's strange how the woman could be so interested in the little monk. ”

Granny Liu spat him on the head and snorted: "There is also a bad thing about pretending to be a monk, that is, it is too conspicuous, especially a monk like you, born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, where does it look like a monk with six pure roots?" I know that you have always been clever, and I don't care about you, you should be careful, don't miss the old lady's big event, after the matter is completed, the hundred yuan will naturally be given to you. ”

Bisu grinned and said: "Bisu naturally trusts his mother-in-law, who is the owner of that matter, what is the important thing, he actually has the courage to go to the government to do something, and he is not a good person?" ”

Granny Liu glared at him and said, "Have you forgotten all the rules in the industry?" Just take the money to do things, and don't ask questions. The old lady is really old, and when she goes out for a walk, she feels a little tired. Let's go back to the room and rest, you do your part. After saying that, he walked to his room.

Bi Su stretched his waist and muttered, "If it weren't for the favor I owe you Granny Liu, I might not have taken over this business." You're pretending to be pretentious. He swept the few pennies in his hand, squinted his eyes to look at the bright sun hanging high in the sky, and said to himself: "It's still early, the little monk will go to sleep and go back to sleep, and when he earns this money, he will fly away and go to Bianliang City to be happy and happy." After saying that, he shrank his head and went back, closed the door, and went to sleep.

When Ding Hao returned to Ding's mansion, it was already early afternoon, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, someone greeted him there and asked him to go to see the master immediately. Ding Hao was not surprised, and asked Zhen Zhu'er to send all the things back to his residence, and then went to the back house with the Ding.

Ding Tingxun has always been very concerned about the lawsuit of Governor Liu, but the Ding family is suspected of bribery, and now the officials in the state capital are staying away, and he has no way to inquire about some news. Although the Ding family claimed that the Ding family took the initiative to send a steward to assist the government in handling the case, on the government's side, it claimed that it was because the Ding family's account books were too complicated and chaotic, so the Ding family sent someone to assist in handling the accounts. This is the reason why Ding Hao needs to take the road of Zhao County Weimen, otherwise the government will not make a claim, and the Ding family is suspected of being involved in the case, so if you are qualified to say that you will go.

Ding Hao insisted on entering the government to clean up the accounts, and Ding Tingxun knew that he wanted to do something from the account books, but Ding Tingxun couldn't guess what method he wanted to use. These days, Ding Hao cleaned up the account books in the mansion, and only asked Zhen Zhu'er to bring back some simple news about the progress of things, Ding Tingxun listened to how to feel at ease, because he knew that he returned to the house today, and ordered the concierge early, and as soon as he arrived, he immediately summoned him to the back house to meet.

Ding Hao didn't even enter his own door, so he went straight to the back house. When he arrived at Ding Tingxun's residence, Ding Hao entered the room and saw Ding Tingxun sitting on a chair waiting for him. After not seeing him for more than ten days, Ding Tingxun seemed to be even older, and the spine that had always stood majestically was now unconcealed.

After fighting for the Ding family for a lifetime, he got today's wealth and status, the house is still so graceful and luxurious, the brocade embroidered robe with a round neck on his body is enough to be worth a year's rations for ordinary people, but wrapped in that robe, it is a gray hair, wrinkled face, haggard body, he has been busy running around all his life, busy with calculations, carrying too many heavy things, and also has a lot of wealth that ordinary people can't have, but ...... Has he ever been happy?

Ding Hao sighed with emotion, but his movements were not slow, and he bent down to salute.

Ding Tingxun saw him, subconsciously straightened his waist, and said in a harmonious voice: "You don't have to be polite, you can sit down and talk back." ”

Ding Hao smiled secretly, this was no longer the time to let him stand aside and reply, it seemed that Ding Tingxun was really a little breathless. Ding Hao sat down on the lower chair without restraint, and Ding Tingxun immediately asked impatiently: "Ding Hao, how are things going?" ”

Yan Jiu stood behind Ding Tingxun, slapped his shoulder unhurriedly, glanced at Ding Hao lightly, and retracted his gaze.

Ding Hao bowed and said: "The account books have been cleaned up, and after the Yulan Festival, the government officials will re-check the accounts, and then they can interrogate the shopkeeper Xu." ”

Ding Tingxun waited for a long time, just waiting for such an understatement, and finally couldn't hold back his temperament, knocked on the table impatiently, and said, "Don't be sloppy with the old man." The old man is asking you, will I be able to keep my Ding family out of the matter this time and not be involved in the case of Governor Liu? ”

Ding Hao said calmly: "If there is no accident, you should be safe." ”

Ding Tingxun frowned, and said with some displeasure: "What is no accident?" ”

Ding Hao said: "The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, there is no absolute thing in the world, how dare Ding Hao boast that he will ensure that the Ding family is fine." As long as there is no major mistake in any link, then this time the Ding family will definitely be able to turn the corner. ”

Ding Tingxun's eyes flashed and asked, "So...... What happens to the pig's head decoup? What will happen to Xu Muchen? ”

Ding Hao didn't answer directly, but sighed softly: "Master, in the case of Governor Liu's mansion, Zhao Xianggong and the current imperial brother were all shocked, and if they didn't ask them to take something back, how could this matter be good?" ”

Ding Tingxun's heart tightened, and he twisted his beard and muttered for a long time without saying a word. Ding Hao smiled and said, "What the master is worried about, Ding Hao understands in his heart. Regarding this, the master doesn't have to worry, if things don't go wrong, then no one can bite the Ding family. ”

When Yan Jiu heard this, his subordinates paused slightly, the corners of his eyes lit up, and he glanced at Ding Hao quickly, before he continued to beat without hurrying.

Ding Tingxun knew that since his son entrusted him with important affairs, he would inevitably tell him the reason why the Ding family was afraid of Xu Muchen, Ding Hao must have known that Xu Muchen was holding the handle of the Ding family, and since he said so, he must be quite sure.

As soon as he thought of this, Ding Tingxun was a little itchy, he really wanted to ask Ding Hao, what method he had used to make this matter a success, not only to cut off the tumor of Xu Muchen for the Ding family, but also not to worry about being bitten by him. Competitive and competitive, Ding Tingxun seemed to have regained the fighting spirit of his youth, but after thinking about it carefully for a long time, he couldn't think of a way to get rid of Xu Muchen and clean the Ding family, so he couldn't help but sigh in frustration and said: "The young man is terrible, and the old man is really old." ”

He shook his head gloomily, glanced at Ding Hao with a complicated expression, and said, "You just came back, go back and rest." If there is any news, you should report it to the old man at any time. ”

"Yes," Ding Hao stood up in response, waved slightly, and was about to retreat. Ding Tingxun had a casual expression, and said: "You work hard, and the old man is very satisfied." Originally, after you did the stewardship, you should have changed your residence, but at that time, I was busy with the follow-up preparations for the affairs of Guangyuan, and I didn't have time to take care of it for a while. Now the fragrance courtyard has picked up a courtyard, a sunny house, ventilation is good, and the surrounding environment is even more elegant. Your mother has been suffering for a long time, and she also needs a quiet place to recuperate, so when you are done with the affairs of the city, move over. Your mother's messenger in the dining room, the old man is also ready to be exempted, and the monthly routine will be given, so that she can rest assured that she will be able to nourish her body. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Tingxun laughed twice in disguise, and said: "You have contributed a lot to the Ding family, this is the reward you deserve, there is no need to refuse." ”

Ding Hao was stunned, what did the old fox think, he didn't know that I was leaving, and what yard I was moving. Besides, although the Fragrant Courtyard is not the last courtyard where the Ding family's relatives live, it is also within the scope of the back house, how can there ever be a steward in the Ding family who is qualified to take his family to live in the back house for a long time? What the hell is this old man doing?

Ding Hao was about to say goodbye, but Ding Tingxun had already stood up, walked into the room with his body bent, and muttered to himself: "Xiao Jiu, you should also step down, the old man is tired, he needs to rest." ”
