Chapter 231: A Difficult Play
Ding Shun looked up to the sky and asked angrily, quite a doctor Qu asked the essence of the heavens
No matter what day is written on the calendar, for Ding Shun, today is by no means an auspicious day for his zodiac.
The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have no concept of respect and inferiority, they talk about the spirit of Haoran, they talk about a humble person who does not dare to forget the country, and have a fanatical hobby of challenging the boss, because this is a way to make a name for themselves, once they go to war with the officials or even the emperor, whether they win or lose, they will win the so-called "not afraid of power" in Shilin and the people, and this reputation is the political capital that will soar in the future.
For example, decades later, Hai Rui, the Qing official, became famous by scolding Emperor Jiajing, and rose directly from a small magistrate to the imperial history of Nanjing's left capital, which can be said to have stepped on the head of Emperor Jiajing and ascended to the sky.
In contrast, the military attache of the Ming Dynasty is very concerned about the difference between respect and inferiority, the boss is the boss, the subordinate is the subordinate, and every word of the boss, whether right or wrong, is a military order and must be executed.
Starting from a small general banner in Dongcheng, Nanjing, Ding Shun has always been Qin Kan's subordinate, in the past two years, with Qin Kan's rapid promotion, Ding Shun's official position has also risen, a small general flag can be a thousand households in more than two years, and the ancestral tomb is full of smoke and fire, accumulating ten lifetimes of virtue.
This is not an exaggeration, in fact, after Ding Shun's wife was taken to Beijing, the two of them set up an immortal tablet for Qin Kan at home, burning incense and worshipping day and night.
For Ding Shun, Qin Kan was not only his superior, but also his benefactor, respecting him and worshipping him. Willing to die for him.
Now Qin Kan wants to salute him in turn, although it is acting, Ding Shun still has the urge to commit suicide by hitting the wall.
"No need to be polite, I'm telling the truth, I don't pay attention to this ...... at home" Ding Shun held Qin Kan's arm, with a bit of begging in his eyes.
Qin Kan looked at him and was about to cry, and estimated that if he insisted on finishing this ceremony. This loyal subordinate was likely to draw his sword and commit suicide, so Qin Kan did not insist anymore.
Ding Shun sighed with relief and showed a grateful smile.
The dark tide between the two surged, but Jin Liu didn't know it. It's not that she's not smart, but she doesn't think about that aspect at all, who can believe a down-and-out scholar who has been dismissed. In just two years, he became a prominent official, and what about the young ministers who held tens of thousands of brocade clothes and health to kill and seize power?
In Jin Liu's heart, Qin Kan is still a down-and-out scholar, just like her, rolling in this red dust with difficulty to survive, running around all day long for a spoonful of food and drink.
Pretty eyes looked at Ding Shun, and there was a little pleading in Jin Liu's eyes: "Master Ding, Qin Kan is just a scholar, and he is not good enough for the work in the house, but the slave family can do anything." Can you let the slave family work for you in place of Qin Kan? Cooking, cleaning, taking care of children, and even writing letters and official documents, the slave family can do anything, Qin Kan wants to test his fame, and he has a great future in the future, he can't do these miscellaneous labors. ”
As soon as I heard Jin Liu call him "Master Ding". The corners of Ding Shun's eyes twitched, and the blind could see that this golden girl and Lord Qin had an extraordinary entanglement, perhaps it was Mrs. Ru of the Qin Mansion in the future.
glanced at Qin Kan for help. Ding Shun sighed: "Yes, Miss Jin can say anything, whatever you say." ”
Jin Liu's eyes lit up, but he revealed the little shrewdness of an ordinary woman, smiled and said to Ding Shunyingying, and said: "Master Ding is benevolent and kind, Qin Kan and the slave family are fortunate, and they have to meet a good master like Master Ding, and they have accumulated virtue in their previous life, and the slave family does not know how to count the etiquette, and the clothes of the military masters in the thousands of households are covered by the slave family, and the work on the master's house is also done by the slave family, which are two jobs......
Ding Shun said with a bitter face: "I understand what Miss Jin means, two jobs are naturally two wages, and there is a lot of money, so you can give it to you in advance, just open ......your mouth as much as you want"...,
Jin Liu said with a smile: "Naturally, it is Xiao Gui Cao Sui, Qin Kan has as much salary as the slave family, last time Master Ding gave the slave family two ingots of silver for twenty taels, and the salary was deducted from it, the slave family will keep accounts every day, and Master Ding can look at it at any time......"
Ding Shun sighed: "The salary is the salary, and the twenty taels are given to you by Ding, so you don't have to be so careful." ”
Jin Liu still smiled sweetly, but his expression was extremely resolute: "The slave family earns money to make a living, and what the slave family gets, every slave family will take it in his hands with confidence, and what the slave family should not get, he doesn't take more than a penny, and he understands the kindness of Master Ding." ”
With a smile, Qin Kan looked at Jin Liu quietly, looking at her shrewd appearance when she was calculating for two wages, and his heart couldn't help but ache slightly, for this woman who refused to admit defeat in the face of a difficult world.
What has she experienced in the past two years? When the cowardly self in front chose to hang herself from the beam in the old house in Shanyin and ended her life hastily, what kind of pain and suffering did this strong woman suffer, what kind of life did she live in exile, how much suffering did she endure and how many grievances she suffered in order to survive?
Her ears seemed to echo with the harsh voice of Yanlailou's mother shouting and scolding her, she swallowed her anger, she was willing to suffer humiliation, gritted her teeth and insisted on living......
Is her persistence because she has a glimmer of hope for re-encountering in the coming year?
Jin Liu brushed her slightly messy sideburns, turned to Qin Kan and showed a long-term smile, she always used to look directly into his eyes when talking to Qin Kan, her eyes were clear and bright, not touching a trace of mortal dust, but penetrating his heart.
"Where do you live?" Jin Liu asked Qin Kan softly.
Qin Kan touched his nose and glanced at Ding Shun.
Ding Shun's expression was bitter, he has always been a clever person who is good at understanding, but at this moment he hates his cleverness very much.
"My family's ...... Servant, of course, lives in my house. Ding Shun sighed.
Jin Liu chuckled at Qin Kan and said: "When I finish washing the clothes of the military master in the Qianhu Office, I will go to Master Ding's mansion to tidy up the house for you, you live as a big man, the house must be very messy, wait for me." ”
Saying that, Jin Liu walked towards the courtyard, and rolled up his sleeves as he walked, there were many large wooden basins in the courtyard, and the basins were filled with many dirty flying fish brocade robes, which was Jin Liu's work today.
Jin Liu's back is very cheerful, and although his steps are as fine as ever, there is a light and flying smell.
She found the most important backbone in her life.
Qin Kan and Ding Shun watched Jin Liu washing clothes in the distance, Qin Kan smiled and thought thoughtfully, but Ding Shun's old face was distorted more bitter than bitter melon.
"Your ......, my lordship, Which one is this? Isn't this golden girl the one we met in Yanlai Tower last time? Dare you and her have known each other for a long time? ”
Qin Kan's eyes were a little misty, and he smiled: "Yes, in fact, I have known each other, and I have known each other for too long, too long." ”
Ding Shun sighed and said, "If you know, you know, can you just take her back to the mansion?" If you are afraid that your wife will be angry and can't tolerate her, your subordinates will find a house for you in the city, and you can send someone to protect it every day, which one are you making trouble? ”
Qin Kan lowered his head and looked at himself dressed as a small servant, and said with a wry smile: "Today's encounter is really beyond my expectations, some misunderstandings by mistake, things have become like this, and it may be like this for a long time." ”
Ding Shun's expression became more and more bitter, and he sighed: "Who did the subordinates provoke?" ”
Qin Kan threw a deep glance at Jin Liu, who was doing laundry in the courtyard, and said: "Ding Shun, she is a woman I must cherish, she is very important to me, she will work here for you in the future, you have to treat her well, and give her processing money without a trace, remember not to let her see it, don't let her do the hard work, tell those bastards under you to be polite to her, who dares to play tricks on her, or the old saying.........,
Ding Shun said with a clear face: "...... castrated him into the palace Wang Yue's side, and let us be a spy. ”
"Yes."
Ding Shun sighed and said: "Don't let her do hard work, and you have to add money to her without a trace, my lord, Lao Ding is just a martial artist, it's no problem to fight and kill, and he ...... give up his life, but this tempting subordinate is really ."
"Fool, won't you give her something lighter? Turning back, the Fusi of Beizhen gave an order to the Inner City Thousand Households Office, and transferred the officials of your Thousand Households Office to other places, and you said to Jin Liu, the officials above have not been sent down for a long time, and you can't do things like official books, so let her temporarily serve as the secretary...... Qin Kan smiled: "Don't underestimate her, she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is several streets better than you, and it is easy for her to sort out and write small account books." ”
Ding Shun was stunned, and then said with a smile: "The adult is really powerful, a very tricky matter has been adjusted by the adult in this way, and it has been easily solved, and the subordinates listen to the adult, and in the future, she will be sent several times the amount of money, and it will be said that it was issued by the imperial court, and it is taken for granted, and she will not say anything." ”
Qin Kan said with a smile: "You can grasp the specific proportions yourself." One more thing, didn't Jin Liu just say that he was going to tidy up the house for me? ”
Ding Shun's old face was bitter again: "The subordinates understand, the subordinates will send someone to clean up a room in the front yard of the humble house, neither too shabby nor too neat, you have to let Miss Jin tidy up the house for you, but you won't be too tired......"
Qin Kan smiled approvingly: "Lao Ding, you are so clever and transparent, and your understanding is extremely high, I can say for sure that you are not far from being promoted." ”
Ding Shun sighed: "If I let the Hun family know that I actually let the adult's Mrs. Ru do the things of miscellaneous servants in my family, I will not be far from death......"
