June in Beijing is the rain of raspberries, not like the continuous raindrops in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, borrowing a few wisps of wind outside the plug to create a fierce momentum. In the crowded house, there is a lot of haste and chaos because of this rainy season, and there are always a piece of tiles that have been half lifted by the wind, and a corner of the house that is half leaking; As for the bamboo hat, it is a must to go out, and you want to hold an oil-paper umbrella and stroll leisurely through the long street in the rain? It depends on God's temper.

If you are riding a horse and galloping in the Zhili area, the raindrops of soybeans hit your face, it is a real pain, and it is a young man who wants to play three points of happiness, which is also far-fetched. Naturally, there are exceptions, just like the three riders who rushed to Goldfish Alley, the young man on the horse was not afraid of the wind and rain.

"Dare to ask who your guests are?" The little doorman of Ding Zhai looked at Feng Xian, who had been his companion before, and he was a half-grown child who didn't know the ins and outs at all, he always felt that Feng Xian should like to pick up the tone, and he didn't know who he offended to cause trouble, but now he was holding his tail and being a man, and when he saw a beggar, he first squeezed out a smiling face that showed four teeth.

The knight pressed the saddle in a dashing manner, turned over and jumped off the horse, even the wind and rain could not make him bend down slightly, pull down the scarf, the little porter was stunned for a moment, but he eagerly took an oil-paper umbrella and rushed out, and when he ran to the knight to open the umbrella, he had been splashed with most of his body, but he didn't care at all: "Auntie, you are finally back!" The little one wants to die of your old man! ”

What came was Ruyu, Ding Ruyu.

It's just that the dense rain that hurts people's faces didn't make Ruyu afraid, but this small concierge made her take a step back in fright: "What do you want to do?" Boy, did you take the wrong medicine? No fever, right? "Before she went to sea with Uncle Zhong, this little concierge was not like this, and when she saw her, she would call her sister stickily, salivating and saying that she couldn't eat enough. Did you have snacks to fill his stomach or something? Why haven't you seen each other for a few months, and it's become like this?

When Ruyu walked into this mansion, she found that the home she thought she thought had completely changed.

The servants have become as measured as the big families, and those who know her will prostrate when they see her; I didn't recognize it, and when I saw Liu Tie leading the way in front of me, I immediately gave way with a smile. There are rules inside and out, compared to when Xue Ning was in charge before, it was really a world of difference.

But Ruyu didn't like this change very much. She felt very depressed, and from the moment she stepped into the house, it was like a shackle on her shoulders.

Liu Tie talked to her about the changes in the house these days as he walked, Liu Yiyi became the main mother, and there was no accident in Ruyu, which she had known since she was a child. The young master will marry that ugly woman when he grows up, but this does not reduce Ruyu's unhappiness. Yes. When Liu Yiyi didn't marry into the Ding family, Ruyu was still very sympathetic to her being forced by her family to withdraw from the marriage and run to the Ding family by herself, but now it's different, she actually married the young master like this!

Walking to a hundred and ten meters outside the moon gate in the backyard, Liu Tie was telling her what Xiao Xianglian was. She didn't have the heart to listen to Liu Tie at all, she just asked, "Young Master is still in the backyard?" After receiving an affirmative answer, she pulled Liu Tie away and ran quickly to the backyard.

“zhanzhu。” A deep voice rang out. The two soldiers who stood on both sides of the Moon Gate, who had originally thought they were sculptures, drew their long knives and pointed at her. The rain poured over their heads, soaking every inch of the sergeant's armor, but they remained unmoved, as if none of it existed.

It's cold.

It's not rain that is cold.

It's home.

Ruyu suddenly squatted down, hugged her knees, and began to cry.

This is no longer the messy but warm home, this is not the home she looks at when she steps on the deck and is blown by the sea breeze. She can't find her own home, the soft place in her memory, which can make her feel at ease, and the home that can make her coquettish no longer exists.

"Biedong hand! This is my aunt! Liu Tie ran behind and hurried, shouting in the rain with his throat in his voice, he saw Ruyu squatting on the ground and crying bitterly, he didn't know what he should say, all he could do was to open the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and cover her head.

"Get out of here!" Ruyu suddenly jumped up, snatched the umbrella from Liu Tie's hand and threw it away, what umbrella did she want? No matter how heavy the rain is, how can it compare to the wind and waves at sea? What she asked for was not such an umbrella, she stood in the rain, the rain was cold, and the tears were hot.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get dressed! A familiar voice sounded, Ruyu turned around, it was Ding Yi in a wheelchair, Chen San was pushing a wheelchair, and Hu Shan was holding an umbrella. Ding Yi's face was still pale, and a large amount of blood loss and injuries needed time to recover.

Ruyu was stunned for a moment, and then she ran to Ding Yi's wheelchair, hugged his legs, and the green silk wet by the rain was scattered on her face, which contrasted with her white complexion like fine porcelain, and it looked like black hair like ink and snow: "Young master!" Y-How could you be? ”

Ding Yi smiled and helped her straighten out the green silk that was wet by the rain, patted her face and said, "Don't get in the way, be obedient, go change your clothes." ”

Ruyu nodded, but was reluctant to let go of Ding Yi's hand.

Until Ding Yi said to her: "You're going to get sick, but there will be no one to take care of me." She got up to change her clothes, and she didn't have the momentum of a sword when she dismounted in front of the house, just a little girl, a little girl who could laugh and cry, and Ding Ruyu, who jumped on the sea and mercilessly stabbed the short sword into the pirate's jaw, just like two people.

It's just that she's gone home.

There was endless wind and rain outside the house, but the soldiers who were still training in the backyard did not have any chance to rest because of this, Ding counted the days, it was not half a year later, but next month it will all begin. Looking at the soldiers who were still training outside, he didn't mean to order them to stop, not only that once the enemy fights, he would not stop fighting because of the weather, but more importantly, he needed to obey, absolute obedience.

This is a soldier.

In the past few months, quite a few people have quit because they have been disabled or substandard in training, and some people have made up for it, and it happens that there is a full quota of 100 households, 112 people. Ding Yi can only do this, and there are many things he can't achieve, whether it is a seamless barrel, or the turning of hydraulic transmission, etc., not to mention the delay fuse, impact fuse, and primer detonator. But there is one thing he can achieve in this Ming Dynasty, and that is people.

The two assassinations also made Wang Zhen pay attention to Ding Yi's security. He even proposed to transfer some more people many times, but Ding Yi refused, he only needed the actual number of 100 households to be enough, because Ding Yi knew very well that he did not have enough officers under him, or rather, there was only one officer Miaozi, Chen San.

A lot of people is not always a good thing.

A soldier is more valuable than a fine.

"Young master, the slave is waiting for you to wash your feet." Ruyu finished taking a bath. Holding a huge copper basin, the water in it is steaming, just like in the past in Rongcheng.

Ding Yi smiled and nodded, and let her help him remove his shoes and socks, and the warm water soaked the instep. Ding Yi has a long-lost relaxation from the soles of his feet, which is an indescribable trust. It is the back of each other. He listened to Ruyu murmuring, the wind and waves of the sea, the ferocity of the natives, the stench of the pirates—she said, even the blood stinking extraordinarily...... Ding Yi rarely fell asleep, not because of a good routine on weekdays. Forced himself to fall asleep, but he slept very deeply, with a stretched smile on his face.

When he woke up, because he was comfortable asleep, Ding Yi couldn't help but stretch his waist. It's a pity that he was stunned immediately. Because Ruyu was holding a short sword in front of him, and the two men she brought were guarding the door, and outside the door were Liu Yiyi and some slaves and maids.

Silent confrontation.

Finally, Liu Yiyi broke the silence: "What are you?" Whether it is the maid who has been waiting for Ding Lang since childhood, or as Ding Lang said, your surname is Ding, you are the aunt and grandmother of the Ding family, no matter what your identity is, there is no such reason in this world, and the sister-in-law does not let her sister-in-law see her husband. ”

"The young master is sleeping." Ruyu was not tame in front of Ding Yi at all, but like an enraged female beast.

Liu Yiyi laughed angrily when she heard it: "It's the husband who is sleeping and being a wife's ......"

"You didn't take good care of the young master, I can't believe you." She shook her head stubbornly, Ruyu felt that Ding Yihao was good when she left, why did she come back like this? So her conclusion was that Liu Yiyi didn't take good care of her young master, "Don't say more, wait until the young master wakes up, whoever is noisy, I will kill whom." A wave of anger rose out of thin air, and those maids and slaves subconsciously took a step back.

Liu Yiyi was so angry that her chest couldn't help but rise, but she quickly calmed down and said to the maid ring beside her, "Bring me a chair." ”

Ding Yi shook his head, sat up straight, and called, "Ruyu, the young master is hungry." ”

This was like a spell, Ding Ruyu, who was almost eyebrows upside down, listened to it, and hurriedly put away the knife, but said to Ding Yi: "Young master, wait first, the slave will come and wait for you to wash up, and then I will go to give you soup cakes." "She and Ding Yi lived in Rongcheng, those servants were all rough, they really couldn't even make noodles, living and lodging were all like jade cooking, and there was no such a big mansion at that time, and there was no income of 100,000 taels of silver.

Ding Yi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, grabbed her and pointed to the slaves and maids outside: "Then quit them all?" With such a big mansion, you still manage it yourself from the inside out like in Rongcheng? Liu Yiyi was a human spirit, looking at the people who had already ordered his subordinates to fetch water, get fine salt to brush their teeth, and so on.

It's just that Ruyu was stunned, but she held Ding Yi's hand in her arms and shook it gently: "Young master, why don't we go back to Rongcheng together?" Otherwise, let's go to sea together, the seabirds are very beautiful, and the sound is good...... Uncle Zhong is now majestic, and that native doesn't dare to enter our territory...... It's the pirates who are good or bad......"

Ding Yi pinched her face as smooth as white porcelain, and said with a smile: "Really? Why didn't the sea breeze blow you black? ”

"Husband." But it was Liu Yiyi who entered, and watched Ding Yi wake up, the two subordinates brought by Ruyu naturally had eyes, and they didn't dare to stop Liu Yiyi, but the latter looked at Ding Yi with a lot of resentment in his eyes, "It's a happy event for Ruyu to come back, it's better to have a table, call the sister of the Xiao family, and those personal disciples of the husband, it will be counted as a family banquet......"

Ding nodded and smiled: "That's very good, you can arrange it." ”

Not only does he feel guilty about his natural stay, but he is Liu Yiyi, so why not owe it? Now Liu Yiyi is paying the money and silver expenses everywhere, taking care of the business of the Daming Royal Dart Bureau, Ding Yi knows very well that if Liu Yiyi is not in charge of the accounts, if he is replaced, he will not be able to pay three months ago.

Liu Yiyi approached, but said to Ding Yi in a low voice: "Lang Jun, Datong sent a batch of 'native products', 100,000 taels, so we don't need to touch the running water of the royal dart bureau." "If it weren't for the Datong garrison eunuch Guo Jing to send this batch of "native products", a full 100,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that in order to support Ding Yi's Jihua, it would have to be moved to the flowing silver on the accounts of the Daming Royal Dart Bureau, although Liu Yiyi can use the dividends due from the Ding family to settle the accounts, but it is not a good thing after all.

"Silver, don't take it too seriously, whether it's a lady or a jade, don't keep staring at this kind of thing." Ding Yi's horizons have also broadened now, unlike when he first arrived in this dynasty, dozens of taels of silver were about to scratch his head, indeed, although the silver was spent quickly, but as soon as the cargo of Ruyu changed hands, he would not be worried for the time being.

What is difficult for Ding to choose is that in the coming war, he is trying to change history; Or do you try to keep history on its path as much as possible, so that you can take advantage of having a prophet? (To be continued......)
