Chapter 58: The Ding Family
Ding Simiao sat in front of the bookcase, looking at the letter, silent for a long time.
The little servant stood aside and asked, "Young master, let's eat something, do you still read?" ”
"Bring the medicine, this is what Lan'er gave me, I have to get a good ranking in the exam, and I can give her a little more face to be worthy of her efforts."
"Yes."
The little guy took out all the medicines, there were no names on them, only marks, and he didn't know how to take them.
Huilan explained everything in the letter, and how to take the medicine was very clear.
Ding Simiao looked at the medicine bottle, poured two pills each, and ate them in one go.
Huilan really didn't wronged this cheap brother, she gave a real myelin-washing pill, and she didn't even eat the prince.
The main reason is that it is inconvenient to go out of the palace, and the other is that the medicinal bath is very troublesome.
Ding Simiao ate the marrow cleansing pill and asked the little maid to prepare hot water, he wanted to bathe.
There is also Guben Dan is a solid foundation Peiyuan, strong body, Ding Simiao does not practice internal family skills, but only learns external family skills and riding and archery to strengthen the body, so it is enough to eat this.
Usually take Pei Yuan Dan to take it, and I also gave some other medicines, and I was prepared for drugs such as refreshing my mind and nourishing my body during the exam, and the usage was written very clearly.
The letter explained that he had made a decision early, and then explained how to take his brother's medicine, without saying superfluous words, and without greeting his mother and sister Ding Manxuan, this is the reason why Lord Ding is in a very complicated mood.
The next day, Ding Simiao felt that her whole body was much lighter, and she had also unloaded her heavy burden, and vaguely understood her sister's intention to hint at him, she relied on her ability to refine medicine and won the attention of the prince.
I immediately went to the study to find my father.
"You're here for your sister's business?"
"Yes, I beg my father not to leave my sister behind, we have already sacrificed her once, and we cannot leave her again.
I just heard a few days ago that the daughter of the Li family tossed her sister for a serious illness and did not give her food, and almost killed her.
If it weren't for the prince's pity for his sister and a different yard, I'm afraid we would only get the news of my sister's death now.
I know you think your sister is cold, but we were the first to be cold.
The second sister got Lan'er's dowry and her good relatives, but what did Lan'er have, she took a thousand taels of silver tickets and entered the palace to die for nine lives, this is the support given to her by the Ding family, she didn't have to enter the palace. ”
Ding Simiao was obsessed with this matter, and he used to have a good relationship with his second sister, but since the matter of Huilan entering the palace was a foregone conclusion, he no longer had a good face for the second sister, and almost became a stranger.
Even has deep complaints and incomprehension about his mother, is it so difficult to love a child more.
He insisted that Ding Manxuan muttered something in his mother's ear, causing his mother to be unwilling to make up for his sister, and Ding Manxuan could be regarded as cutting off the brother-sister relationship.
Lord Ding sighed and raised his head, "I know you complain that we have to let Lan'er enter the palace, and you also allow your mother to take away her dowry and family affairs.
There are some things that can't be said clearly, it's not that you don't love your sister for your father's favorite concubine, killing your wife, and not hurting your sister, it's not.
This is not only the decision of me and your mother, but also the decision of the patriarch. He hopes that someone from our family can enter the palace, so that the Ding family can go further, and my Ding family can have a chance to leap into the dragon gate.
Although it is disgraceful to rely on nepotism, if there is no chance, how can you and I and even the Ding family talk about the future.
Do you think it is appropriate for Manxuan to enter the palace? Just that little bit of caution will lie to your mother, and you will only be sent to death when you enter the palace.
In terms of atmosphere and overall situation, as well as intelligence, forbearance and sensibility, which point of Manxuan is comparable to your sister. ”
As a family member, Lord Ding has his own account in his heart.
Ding Simiao lowered her head and choked up, "What is the next step for that father, I will definitely come back with a good ranking."
Dad, my sister means that the prince is currently in difficulty, let us help out as appropriate, what do you think? ”
At this point, no matter how much you say, you can't change the facts, it's better to calm down and plan a little more family support and benefits for your sister.
"Help is for sure, but Tou Cheng should also choose a good opportunity to let the prince know that our Ding family is also useful and can be used, rather than simply handing over the worship post.
Your sister said that she wanted to ask the prince to tell you that she was a good friend, and she sacrificed a lot for you, Brother Miao, you have to know in your heart. ”
"I know, Dad, don't worry, I'll try. That sister is in the palace......"
"Don't worry for the time being, she has a split with your mother and sister, and she can't make up for it, and she doesn't need to go into the palace to disturb her at the moment.
Sometimes weakness is also an advantage, and it is the most useful for her to make the prince pity her. It's enough for us to push outside. Rest assured, she will not lose money in the future. ”
"Since my father said so, then I am relieved, but I have to strictly discipline Manxuan, my sister is no longer the same, and she dares to play tricks at this moment, and I don't know what trouble I am going to cause when I go out."
He said a few words very unhappily.
"Well, I'm going to invite Mama, and when Mama arrives, I'll teach her the rules well, and I'll have a good talk with your mother."
Lord Ding only has one son, Ding Simiao, who has given infinite expectations, so he naturally attaches more importance to his requirements.
"Yes, that son went to school."
"Go ahead."
Master Ding nodded.
Lord Ding thought about it, put down the book, and went back to the inner courtyard to talk to his wife. The matter of the eldest daughter Huilan must be talked about openly and honestly.
"Master, you have something to tell me, go and pour a cup of tea, you can go down."
Mrs. Ding has been married to him for many years, how can she not know her husband's mind and character.
"I came to talk to you about Lan'er, you know, Lan'er almost died at the hands of the Li family's daughter. She is no longer the simple little girl who is easy to bully, she has changed. ”
Lord Ding lowered his head and sighed, very heartbroken, but this was the patriarch's decision, and even he couldn't disobey it.
"I know that she complained that I didn't love her, took away her dowry and family affairs, and refused to even give her more love, and I disappointed her and was sad."
Mrs. Ding's tears flowed silently, and the pain was very painful.
"Manxuan is thinking too much, you have to teach well, otherwise you will cause trouble and embarrassment when you go out, and she is not allowed to play Lan'er's banner to be arrogant."
"I see, don't worry, I know how to do it."
"Well, don't enter the palace for the time being, so as not to affect Lan'er."
"Yes, master, I prepared some silver for Lan'er, you see......"
"Give it to me, I'll go back and find a way to find someone to bring into the palace for Lan'er."
"Okay."
