Chapter 21: The Beginning
ps ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes, thank you.
Ding Rou and his entourage came to the foot of the mountain, there were very few people in front of the stele, especially most of the ladies of the noble family took the carriage back to the house, Ding Rou saw two girls dressed in ordinary clothes, who were throwing copper coins, and the square inch in front of the stele was sprinkled with copper coins, and there was not a copper coin in the mouth of the turtle, Ding Rou asked in a low voice: "Mother, can you pick up the copper coins?" ”
Liu casually patted Ding Rou's shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Xiaorou, you must not be disrespectful to Queen Taizu, how can there be any reason to pick it up?" ”
"Where are all the copper coins thrown every day in previous years?" Ding Rou realized that this was a business, thinking about whether to find an opportunity to take all the copper coins, Liu frowned and said: "It was taken away by Queen Taizu, Xiaorou, I don't allow you to play copper coins, you will be punished." ”
Ding Rou smiled: "Mother, don't worry, how dare I." A glimmer of light flashed in Ding Rou's eyes, it is not impossible for Queen Taizu to manifest and take away the copper coins, and there will be more people who will come to Luofeng Mountain at that time, Ding Rou has an idea as soon as his mind turns, this business can be done, but he needs to prepare something, instead of cheapening the person who picks up the copper coins, you might as well be cheap yourself, Ding Rou is familiar with Queen Taizu, and she is a fellow countryman.
"It's a pity, it's just a little bit, sister, if you don't throw another copper coin, I still have two copper coins here." The little girl who was about ten years old in pink cloth took out a copper coin wrapped in a handkerchief, handed it to her sister and said, "The eldest sister will discuss marriage in two days, and it will be a good omen." ”
The girl in a light blue dress touched her sister's cheek and smiled softly: "It's my mother who bought you sugar to get copper money, you can keep it, the person who is talking to our family is an ordinary farmer, how can you have a wife?" ”
"Eldest sister, I don't like to eat sugar, take it, take it, I think Brother Huzi can be a big official." The little girl forced the copper coin into her sister's hand, "Brother Huzi has grown up tall and strong, their family is a military household, and Brother Huzi will be a general in the future." ”
The girl's face flushed, "Don't talk nonsense." With shy cheeks and eyes full of affection, Ding Rou grabbed Liu after looking at it, "Let's wait." Liu nodded in response, the girl couldn't bear her sister's pleading, and when she took the copper coin and was about to throw it into the mouth of the turtle again, Ding Rou heard someone behind her shouting: "Dodge, dodge." ”
The girl was panicked and nervous, the copper coin fell to the ground, rolling along the bluestone road, the little girl hurriedly chased to pick up the copper coin, just collided with a team of people, the copper coin was trampled under the feet of the servant guards, the little girl looked up and said, "Can you let it?" Just a little bit. ”
"Get out of the way, you hit our young lady, you can't afford to be guilty, get out." Someone came to kick the little girl, Ding Rou's feet turned faster than her thoughts, and she kicked up the stones on the road directly, which landed on the servant's head, the servant retracted her legs, and the girl ran over to protect her sister, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll take it away." ”
"Who? Who would dare to stone me? ”
Ding Rou didn't want to cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid of things, she watched the little girl being kicked away by the evil servant, and the five strong men with three thick feet kicked the little girl. Ding Rou kicked the stone.
The strong man easily found Ding Rou, seeing Ding Rou's delicate facial features and eyebrows, and the clothes on his body were also good, not like the daughter of an ordinary Zhuang family, and not like the young lady of a big family, the strong man was not sure if he could afford to offend, but he had always hummed, "Where is the nosy person?" Do you know who I am? ”
"Yes." Ding Rou patted Liu's and asked her not to worry, Ding Rou has a way not to cause trouble and burn herself, and a way to solve the matter in front of her, if you change Ding Rou's temperament in her previous life, she will directly scold him as a vicious dog, but now it is not suitable, Ding Rou said: "You are from Anyang Bofu." ”
Ding Rou had already seen Li Manru, the young lady of the Anyang Bo family, who was wrapped in gorgeous clothes, she left quite late, the road was narrow, Ding Rou just ran into her again, and the strong man said: "Since you are afraid of offending Anyang Bofu, you dare to kick a stone at me?" ”
"As soon as my feet slipped, the stones flew up, and you also know that in Luofeng Mountain, with the protection of Queen Taizu, it is the most important thing to see the power and bully others, not to mention that their sisters are throwing copper coins into the stone tablet, and Queen Taizu is magical."
As soon as the strong man's evil expression changed, Ding Rou knew that the legends of Luofeng Mountain were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and at this time Li Manru spoke: "Who is so bold in my Dao, and it is still strange, it turns out to be the daughter of the Ding family, Ding Rou, let's meet again." ”
Li Manru held the girl's hand and glanced at Ding Rou arrogantly and contemptuously, "Concubine Ding Rou, do you still know Miss Ben?" ”
"Miss Li, I don't think it's hard to recognize you, you are too dazzling." Ding Rou protected Liu Shi and Lan Xin behind him, "It's comparable to the sun in the daytime, and the stars are bright at night, how can I not recognize it?" ”
Li Manru has some testimony, it sounds like a good thing to praise, but how wrong it sounds, and it's not good to ask others whether Ding Rou is scolding her or praising her, the girl who followed Li Manru raised her eyes and looked at Ding Rou, frowned suspiciously, Ding Rou has become different, don't say that the little girl was kicked before, that is, her biological mother Liu was sick and died, Ding Rou would not ask, she only had the wife of Ding's mansion in her eyes, but now she is protecting Liu, what changed her?
The girl is Li Manru's sister Li Manshi, who is also a concubine, at this time, even if she feels that Ding Rou is talking wrong, the girl with a conscience is unwilling to remind Li Manru, not to mention that the girl's eyes glanced to the corner next to her, walked to the pair of sisters, bent down and touched the little girl's cheek, and said softly: "It's my Anyang Bofu, I will teach him a lesson when I go back." ”
"Come on, the glutinous rice candy is here."
"Yes."
The girl took out a box of glutinous rice candy, Li Manshi gave it to the little girl, and rubbed her head affectionately, "Take it and eat it." ”
"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss."
The sisters bowed to Li Manshi again and again, Li Manshi smiled, the speed of the sunset poured on her, adding a touch of brilliance, comparing Li Manru who was looking for Ding Rou's stubble, Ding Rou crossed Li Manru and looked at Li Manshi, she is not simple, and it is also very dangerous, Li Manru is reckless and vulgar, and it is easy to deal with her pain angle, but Li Manshi is different, she can pretend to be able to endure it, and she has benefited in front of her mother, and carefully serves her sister, but the queen uses her rude and domineering to accompany her kindness and decency, and seek a good marriage, This is also the way for concubines to survive.
Li Manshi didn't break Ding Rou, Ding Rou wouldn't deliberately trouble her, Ding Rou also saw Li Gongzi of the Hou Mansion who had been paying attention to the movement here not far away, Li Manshi was for him, and the Prince of the Hou Mansion was recruiting, but that Li Gongzi didn't accept the offer?
"Concubine Ding Rou, you kneel down for Miss Ben, kneel."
Li Manru's eyes were burning and shining, she finally waited for this day, how could Li Manru forget the humiliation of kneeling to Ding Rou to make amends, at this time I am more noble than you.
