Chapter VII Examination (1)

Hearing Ding Yi ask, Uncle Zhong stroked his beard and smiled: "Young master, there is finally something you don't know." "It's true that Ding Yi gave the old housekeeper too much shock before. In fact, if it weren't for such a strong sense of oppression, Ding Yi would have restrained himself as much as possible, but he really didn't have time to act for him, so he had to hurry up to find out what situation he was going to face.

Uncle Zhong took a sip of tea, and then told Ding Yi the reason, it turned out that the Ding family was not a native of Rongcheng, but only came here more than ten years ago to take root. Therefore, some of Ding's father's fellow villagers and old friends have become eunuchs, but they are not the things that people in Rongcheng County can know: "It's all the old slave's fault, if it wasn't for the old slave's impatience that day, he would have gone to the poetry club to deliver the letter to the young master, and he wouldn't have been looked at the envelope of porcelain and blue paper by the master of the mansion......"

Ding Yi smiled bitterly, in the words of the old housekeeper, I am afraid that there is still a lot of protection, according to Uncle Zhong's temperament, and he knows the preciousness of this porcelain paper, he will not give the letter to Ding Xiucai in front of the public, presumably Ding Xiucai has no scheming, and when the master asked, he took out the letter, and if he didn't do it, he opened it and read it on the spot, so as to provoke such a disaster.

Therefore, Ding Yi waved his hand to stop the old housekeeper's words, and said to him: "Uncle Zhong, I caused this matter by myself, you must not take it from yourself, or tell me, the person who sent the letter, what's wrong." ”

"The person who delivered the letter, the green robe was swept up by the wind, and the old slave really looked at the flying fish suit inside, presumably the messenger came quickly, but there were many people watching all the way." Uncle Zhong thought about it, recalled what he saw that day, and said slowly, "Embroidered spring knife, flying fish suit, saying that the old friend of the master is a power eunuch, it is really not wrong." ”

"Uncle Zhong, will my sister-in-law be affected by this incident?" Ding Yi tentatively asked the old housekeeper about the Ding Yang family, because after all, he was threatened by Peng Zhang, and he himself didn't know very well, so he could only ask the old housekeeper what was the relationship between the Ding Yang family and himself? If it's an uncle and sister-in-law, why don't they live in a house? The ancients obviously liked to make four generations live together, and they would not split up unless they were disobedient or discordant.

"It's hard to tell." The old housekeeper also frowned, as if this was an extremely difficult question for him: "Sister-in-law has a very strong temperament, even if she wants to persuade her to leave Rongcheng, I am afraid it is also extremely difficult." As for why he didn't live in one place, but without waiting for Ding to ask, the old housekeeper said, "At that time, the young master was enlightened, and the long room proposed to divide the family, saying that it was so as not to divide the brothers in the future, alas, but she thought that the eldest young master was an adopted son, and she didn't want to get more property, and several shops were accepted by the old man when he was angry with her and the eldest young master; But when the old man went west, the sister-in-law took care of the young master like a brother......"

It sounds like this Ding Yang is really good to a certain extent, because her husband is an adopted son, so he proposed to divide the family and not want the family property; And when Ding's father passed away, the helper took care of the Ding family to take care of this talented man, but he didn't think of the adopted son.

However, the old housekeeper's words made Ding Yi feel more and more that Uncle Zhong must be a person with a very past past.

Because Uncle Zhong has been thinking about how to persuade Ding Yang's family to leave Rongcheng, this insight and decision, in fact, many local tyrants can't do it, the so-called homeland is difficult to leave, the Ding family has also taken root in Rongcheng for more than ten years, just leave, there must be many things to give up, but I didn't hear the sentence "...... across the rivers and lakes", Uncle Zhong has such a vision and determination, saying that he is just an ordinary old housekeeper, Ding Yi also doesn't believe it.

But Uncle Zhong didn't say it, and Ding Yi didn't ask.

Because he didn't know if the previous Ding Xiucai knew about Uncle Zhong's past, he might reveal his stuff when he asked.

Now that the old delivery robe, the fiancΓ©e has withdrawn from the marriage, the confidant is persecuted, and the partner wants to unilaterally tear up the contract and no longer ship the goods, if he still gets a loyal uncle, it will be backwater, Ding Yi really does not plan to take this risk.

"I'll go and persuade my sister-in-law, otherwise whether I go to Beijing or not, if she stays in this Rongcheng, I'm afraid life won't be easy."

"Jian Mu, everyone else has resigned, but you don't resign?" Ding Yi walked down the long street with his hands in his hands, and asked the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who followed him with a smile. This little guy carrying a five-color gift bag has clear eyebrows and a bright smile on his face, which makes people feel very kind when he looks at it. It's just that a pair of eyes always sneak up on the road and glance at the women who come and go.

At this time, listening to Ding Yi ask him, he couldn't help but laugh and said to Ding Yi: "Young master, the little one doesn't say anything good to coax you, but when the old man rescued me on the side of the road, I was only a few months old." I don't know where the ancestral grave is, if those thieves and birds can dig up my ancestral grave, I will follow to see a lively scene, I'm afraid that they will be **! ”

Except for Uncle Zhong, only Jian Mu, a subordinate who has no father or mother, and doesn't even know where the ancestral grave is, will stay in the Ding family, and the rest of the people have settled their wages and sent away. As soon as Ding heard Jian Mu speak, he couldn't help laughing, and at this moment, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy ran out of the alley on the side, and when he saw Ding Yi, he hurriedly shouted: "Second uncle! Are you going to my house? I don't know what I heard this morning, so I cut a bamboo pole and cut it into a finger-wide bamboo stick, and put it behind the door when it was all smooth, if you go, I'm afraid it will ......."

Jian Mu listened, stuffed the five-color gift bag to the young man, and said to Ding Yi urgently: "Young master, run, the eldest mother is very ruthless, last time you and Young Master Peng went out to drink flower wine, let the eldest mother know, Shengsheng broke seven or eight bamboo sticks, beat the young master, your left hand into a pig's trotters, not to mention, and you copied what 'so good and know its evil' long article, copied twenty times, copied to the right hand is also swollen, don't go......"

Ding Yi stretched out his hand and knocked on the head of the young man and Jian Mu, and scolded with a smile: "What nonsense? The head leads the way. In the mouth of this little scholar called Jian Mu, Ding Yi collected more information: the eldest brother was said to have passed away from a terminal illness ten years ago, and the widowed sister-in-law took charge of the industry, sent her mother-in-law to the end three years ago, and raised the nephew in front of her alone; Ding Yi's mother, gave birth to Xiucai Gong a few years ago, after Ding Yi's father also passed away a few years ago, there was a period of uncontrolled prodigal days, and it was this widow sister-in-law who did not shy away from people's words, picked up the motherless sister-in-law as a mother, and persuaded Ding Yi to return to the right path, so that Ding Yi took the test for the fame of this Xiucai.

For this sister-in-law, Ding Yi after the seizure felt very admirable, and Peng Zhang coerced this widowed sister-in-law, so Ding Yi wanted to meet her, how could such an admirable woman be the "fox look" in Peng Zhang's mouth, which also made Ding Yi extremely curious.

The county seat in these years is not too big, and there are only a few horizontal and vertical streets, and it will take a while. Since Ding Yi crossed the house, he only felt that he had jumped out of the clever scholar Jianmu, and refused to go in, Zuihou or Ding Yi's nephew said: "Grandpa saved you back then, it is better to save a dog, if you want to save a dog, at least my mother has a second uncle, and it can still go up to block two bamboo sticks." Jian Mucai gritted his teeth and followed into the door with an expression as if he was going to the execution ground.

Ding Yang sat in the hall with a frosty face, and when Ding saw it, he understood why Peng Zhang said "foxy". Because this sister-in-law's white awl face, big eyes, small lips and thin lips, if it is in modern times, it is naturally a first-class beauty, but for people in this era, it is too charming, just as Peng Zhang commented on the little lady Liu, and directly used the word "ugly and weird".

It's just that at this time, Ding Yi's body trembled uncontrollably slightly, and at first Ding Yi thought it was Xiucaigong's fear of this sister-in-law, who knew that half a second later, his ears were involuntarily red and his face was red, and Ding Yifang woke up to the three things that he would never forget until he died, the so-called beauty, it seems that it is the one in front of him.

Indeed, in the eyes of Ding Yi now, this Ding Yang is definitely a beauty, and she has a bookish atmosphere, which also makes her not too glamorous because of the beauty of her face, and she has the elegance of Lamei. Ding Yi thought silently in his heart: "Xiucai Gong, you can go with peace of mind, whether it is the mansion or fame, I Ding is not a person who gives up easily, including the beautiful woman in front of me, I will take good care of her." ”

"The younger brother has seen the sister-in-law." Ding Yi saluted his sister-in-law in the court. This sister-in-law seems to be only in her early twenties, and if it weren't for Ding Zhi, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old nephew, I can't believe that she is thirty.

Ding Yang returned the salute, but almost in the words, he could hear the ice ballast: "Dare to ask uncle, what kind of book are you reading?" ”

"Read it casually, well, Li Bai Dufu, Su Dongpo Xin abandoned the disease......" Ding replied, but he kept scolding his mother in his heart, others crossed, and a few poems and essays stole the name of the talent, why are you so sad? Peng Zhang's miscellaneous talk to himself about "The Theory of Fortune", came to see the widowed sister-in-law and reported her reading experience.

Ding Yang nodded, stared at Ding Yi with big eyes, and asked coldly, "Have you ever read the "Gao Dongxi Collection" in the Song people's pen talk?" ”

Again! Ding Yi felt that he was about to vomit, and he suddenly regretted coming to visit this sister-in-law, but after all, Ding Yi was a person with strict special training, but his face was still stable: "I haven't read it." "I haven't read it, what's wrong? Who knows what the hell she's going to say?

"Ding Zhi, go to the study and get the "Gao Dongxi Collection". Ding Yang instructed her son, and the young man who had just come to report to Ding Yi halfway.

At this time, Ding Yi's body was still in a trembling state of excitement, which seemed to be the knee-jerk reaction of this body, and it seemed to be a trace of Ding Xiucai's broken soul. This made Ding Yi feel very bad, he hated this feeling of being uncontrollable, and couldn't help but think silently in his heart: "What do you want?" You can't let go of this beautiful woman in front of you, I promised to do my best to take care of her! Do you have to get me schizophrenic? You have to have the ability not to commit suicide and face all this yourself! How else do you want me? **Let's get out, okay, Lao Tzu swears to get your sister-in-law, okay? ”

It's really too late, almost instantly, Ding Yijue's face is no longer red, his ears are not hot, his body is not trembling, it seems that his whole body is light, and there is a feeling of letting go of his burden. Ding Yizhen was a little dumbfounded, oh my God, this Ding Xiucai is so morally corrupt? Reluctantly wants to get his widowed sister-in-law! No wonder he became a close friend with someone like Peng Zhang! Ding Yi couldn't help but cry and laugh, how can this be good? God knows what he promised this revenant, and if he doesn't do it, I wonder if there will be any unpleasant consequences? Crossing can happen, isn't it......
