Ding Yi felt that he needed to calm down, not for anything else, just to not know a lot of future things in the Ming Dynasty, not to have a lot of knowledge, opportunities, information, and resources that Wan, Xu and Liu did not have, but they were still being played to death by such people.

The four-hoofed snow was led by him, slowly pacing the street, Ding Yi smiled and followed the three mountain streets, the familiar neighbors who passed by in the early days greeted him, no one recognized him as Ding Rongcheng with three heads and six arms in the mouth of the storyteller in the teahouse, there was no Internet and no TV in this era; Ding Yi and Liu Tie rarely enter and exit from the main gate, and once they enter and exit from the main gate, there must be a lot of people, where do these people dare to look up?

On the streets of Nanjing, most of them have long corridors under the eaves, and those vendors put their stalls in the porches, which can be regarded as a shelter when it rains and winds. "Ding boy! Here, I'll give you a pear! "The old man who sells pears threw a pear out from the corridor as yesterday, this is a return gift for the small bottle of soju that Ding Yi gave him last time, the pear is still ripped, it is the kind of bruised and bruised that no one buys, and the stall owner rips off the bad piece and disposes of it at a low price, which is not worth a few dollars, but it is a heart.

The aunt who sells green onions is a discerning person, and said on the side: "Little Dingzi, your owner's horse is a precious thing, do you want forage for the academy?" The dead ghost of my family is just idle, if you can talk in the academy, pack this forage to the dead ghost of my family, my aunt knows how to be a man, and your benefits are indispensable! ”

Ding Yi took a bite of the pear, it was very crisp, he chewed the pear and laughed gracelessly: "I'm just a horse in the academy, and I still talk?" Do you really think I'm a student in the academy wearing this long shirt? The vegetable vendors on the side laughed, and asked Ding Yi to ignore the fat aunt, and don't talk to the college steward without knowing the severity. Lost this decent errand.

After all, having shoes and socks, no need to be barefoot, and being able to wear a long gown, in the eyes of these simple people, it is a decent job. The fat aunt argued curtly: "I'm not forcing Ding Boy to say, I'm just asking, what's the matter?" As he spoke, he also aimed his begging eyes at Ding Yi, hoping that he could open his mouth to relieve himself.

Ding Yi will naturally say a few words It doesn't matter, he enjoys this atmosphere very much, which makes him feel the breath of life. Rather than cold intrigue and officialdom. These mostly barefoot people, without much calculation and without much interest, speak vulgarly, vulgar enough to be a negative lesson for children. But compared to Qin Huai, who liked to stay in the literati, Ding Yi was more willing to lead the horse slowly through the streets and alleys. It makes him less alone.

Over this long street. Ding Yi stepped on the four hooves and stepped on the snow, rode his horse, and the Sihai Tower in front of him was the place he would visit every day before going to Guozijian. Before anyone approached, the man had already come up to meet him. Calling "Ding Ye" in his mouth, he reached out and took the reins and tied them to the bolted horse stake, as long as the horse was tied, he naturally kept the guest.

"The same old way." He said to Xiao Er, who came up to greet him politely. casually threw a small corner of broken silver to him, except for the food money, the rest was regarded as a reward. The so-called old appearance is a large bowl of noodles, a plate of chicken breast cooked in salted water according to Ding Yi's requirements, a plate of green vegetables, and a plate of fruit.

This is after seeing Xing Kuan's mellow body, Ding Yi restored himself to a healthy recipe, looking at Xing Zhuangyuangong's figure, Ding was really worried that after letting go of his belly, he would eventually develop in that direction.

Ding Yi's meal was served quickly, there were not too many diners at noon, and Xiao Er was not busy, while wiping the table and chairs with his hands and feet, he asked Ding Yi: "Master Ding, this thing doesn't seem to be delicious like this, right?" "Is there a little er who doesn't steal a piece when serving food? At least there is no Sihailou.

That's why he knew it wouldn't be too tasty, or rather, it tasted like chewing wax.

"It's hard to eat, right? It's not like you haven't stolen it. Ding Yi ate slowly and answered Xiao Er's question with a smile.

When Xiao Er heard this, he ran over, crossed his waist and said, "Master Ding, you have to try it, right?" Otherwise, how can it be good to make the guests eat faulty? But your dish, except for the first day, no one really tastes it at other times, it's really unpalatable. "Boiled chicken breast in salted water, what's so delicious?

Ding Rujin laughed "fluttering", almost didn't squirt out the food in his mouth, finally swallowed it, put down his chopsticks and said to Xiao Er: "It seems that I am right to let you make this dish, at least you will not be charged with rebellion!" Why? Legend has it that when Emperor Lao Tzu was eating, didn't he have to get a eunuch and try to eat the same first? We are good citizens, we can't learn from the emperor, that's overstepping! It's going to kill your head. ”

Xiao Er was a little embarrassed by him, it was wrong to eat secretly.

However, when Ding Yi was about to get up after eating, Xiao Er ran over to the table and said to Ding Yi: "Master Ding, you are not kind. ”

"What's wrong? Have I offended you? ”

"You turn around and scold me for being a eunuch!"

Ding Yile was happy, this guy reacted really quickly, so he begged him for mercy: "The little second brother has a lot, it's Ding's mistake!" ”

"You're so polite?"

"Aren't I just afraid that you'll spit in the next time you serve food?"

After frolicking for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, Ding Yi went downstairs to fetch the horse and went to the Guozijian.

Little did he know that in the private seat by the window upstairs, a man with a thin face said to his companion, "Don't look at him, for fear it will attract his attention." Keep your head down. When the sound of the horses' hooves was far away, the man raised his head and said to his companion, "It seems that it is impossible to do anything in the meal." ”

In these years, colorless and tasteless poisons only exist in legends.

If you want to poison, it will inevitably be colored and tasteful.

And the dishes that Ding Yi orders here every day are all light to tasteless, a little bit of sauce can hang the fragrance of chicken, and adding a little lard will also make the meat not so dry, not to mention poison, once you do your hands and feet, you can see and smell it without eating Ding Yi.

"What then? Do you continue to forbear? "The plump companion was a little impatient.

The thin man shook his head: "Now, it's the best time, if you miss this season, as long as he eases up, I'm afraid it won't be easy." You still have to hurry up and do it, you go and inform the man. It's time to use him, and ask him if he's ready. ”

"No!" The fat man nodded in response.

Then they finished the meal carefully like ordinary diners, and the small pot of wine was also seen at the bottom, and when Xiao Er came to check out, he thought that there were too few dishes here, and he thought that the taste was too heavy, and the clothes on their bodies were extremely appropriate words and deeds, and there was nothing special at all. Every day, Xiao Er will meet a lot of such guests.

In the imperial study of the Imperial City of Beijing, the copper beast head curls out a faint smoke, teaching people to smell it, that is, how anxious things can be settled. Calmly dispose of it. Emperor Jing said to Yu Qian, who was sitting in front of him: "Mr. is too thin, those things that I have given. I want to teach my husband to live better. But it's not in the cabinet, and I only take a look at it during the New Year's holidays. ”

Yu Qian shook his head with a smile when he heard this, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and said to Emperor Jing: "The desire of the tongue is a thief, addicted to this." Can Ann be selfless? When the country is in a war, the people's livelihood is difficult, alas, the old man looked at the official documents sent from all over the country. I can barely sleep. The people are miserable! ”

This is no exaggeration.

When Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty personally conquered the civil fort last year, he dispatched the people to requisition the laborers, and as a result, the 200,000 troops and tens of thousands of people were trapped in the battle of the civil fort, and how many people's families lost their pillars; Immediately afterwards, it was to prepare for the defense of the Beijing Division, in addition to moving the Nanjing arsenal and the grain depot around the Beijing Division to almost empty, not to mention the sergeants of the group battalion and the people who defended the city.

It's just that the arsenal and grain depot that were emptied because of the war always have to be filled, and who knows how long the Warats will come back to this thing? If the armament and granary are empty, and the Warats come again, there will be no need to fight at all. So the young and strong people who have lost their families still have to pay grain and taxes, how can they not suffer?

However, when Yu Qian said this, Emperor Jing was not able to persuade him anymore, so he had to talk about some government affairs and other things.

"Ding Rujin seems to be available." When Yu Qian listened to the emperor ask him if he had anyone to recommend, he thought about it and recommended his own personal disciple, and then he saw Emperor Jing frowning, but with Yu Qian's temperament, he would not have spoken, and if he spoke, he would definitely not retract, "This son is stubborn and willful, but it is also a little easy to take." ”

Emperor Jing smiled bitterly and nodded, Ding Rujin has nothing to offer, can An win the world? If Yu Qian wanted to say this, he could only speak: "What Mr. said is that Ding Rujin is loyal and courageous, and Yu Junluo is very unique; Poetry is also widely circulated; More eloquent ......"

"The merits of what the old man said are not these." Yu Qian mercilessly intercepted Emperor Jing's words.

"Why did the gentleman teach me?"

"Rujin seems to feel that the emperor will not be able to tolerate him, so he will give up everything and go to the imperial examination." After Yu Qian said this, he stopped mentioning this matter, but talked about the fact that Ding Ruyu and the meritorious soldiers were going to return to Beijing to be entitled, after all, a female general with a formal rank was a headache for this monarch and minister.

After Yu Qian left, Emperor Jing thought for a long time, and then he asked the eunuch Xing'an beside him, "What do you think?" ”

Xing'an hesitated, Emperor Jing kicked him and scolded with a smile: "Don't play this little trick in front of me, your godson and grandson, have you ever confiscated the money?" Let you climb to this position, is it possible that I still expect you to be as honest as Mr. Yu? "Indeed, in history, if you can climb to the point of Xing'an, where can you be clean? Emperor Jing, who has grown up outside the palace since he was a child, is not a character who is easy to deceive.

"Ding Rongcheng is going to go to Qiuqiu, and then take the Jinshi examination, which is the move in the middle of Jingtai year, and the Jinshi ordered by the emperor." Xing'an can wait by Emperor Jing's side, and his brain is also very active, and he understands Yu Qian's meaning as soon as he hears it, "If you want to talk about loyalty and traitor, retire from the royal dart game; Since the emperor returned to Beijing, he has never said a word for it; resigned, and the elements on the rivers and lakes also refused; The prisoners whom he had rescued during the war also scattered to their posts; Although he collects money, he also scatters his wealth to run a college, and I heard that the recruits are all children from poor families, and they still eat and drink......"

Speaking of this, Xing'an gritted his teeth: "But it depends on Grandpa's intentions, if you believe him, there is no need, the old slave can also do it!" (To be continued......)
