Chapter 114: Insight

In Ding Rou's eyes, although Ding Dong is slightly lacking in talent and decisive, he is better than being rigorous and serious, with the spirit of a scholar, and Ding knows how to disdain to do it, and he has no courage to do it. Ding Rou pointed her head with her index finger, remember who the main examiner of this year was?

"The upright and honest Xu Ge Lao, he ranks fifth among the cabinet ministers, and is known for his rigor and stubbornness."

Ding Rou's head rotated at high speed, as if computer text, and called up the information of Xu Ge Lao who had heard of it, he was most famous 20 years ago, as a small imperial history, he participated in the corruption of the cabinet ministers of disaster relief silver, because corruption of disaster relief silver is by no means a person can do it, up and down to hide the emperor, Xu Ge Lao's eldest son because he exposed this matter, died of death, he did not change, knelt at the palace gate for three days and three nights, and almost hit the pillar left by Queen Taizu, causing the emperor to shake, and sent people from the procuratorate to investigate the matter thoroughly, In the end, the big corruption case was revealed.

Xu Ge Lao is honest and honest and famous all over the world, Ding Rou frowned, Xu Ge Lao seems to be fifty-eight this year, Emperor Taizu set an iron law, officials must be over sixty years old, this is the last time he presided over the imperial examination, and he will not be able to guarantee the last night? can sacrifice his eldest son to expose corrupt officials and corrupt officials, just for the sake of the righteousness in his heart, no matter how he thinks about it, he will not have the heart to leak the exam questions.

Although he knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, Ding Rou has never seen Xu Ge Lao, and he doesn't know his thoughts if he doesn't read minds, but Ding Rou has doubts about this, it is said that Xu Ge Lao's mansion is the most difficult to enter, and all those who give gifts are turned away, and there is even a couplet at the door of the house, which says that the promotion and wealth do not enter this door.

What the hell was going on in a past life? Why is Ding Min so scared? Is it really cheating in the exam room?

Ding Rou thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out, she only knew that judging from Ding Min's fear, this year's Enke meeting was unusual. Lan Xin's voice came from outside, "Sixth Miss, Mrs. Tai woke up, and she was very happy to learn that the master had been promoted to deputy chief examiner. ”

Ding Rou closed her eyes and took a deep breath, anyone would be happy, Ding Rou had an ordinary smile on her face, so that no one could see anything wrong, she went out with light steps, and asked with a smile: "The eldest lady has appreciated it, what about the lady?" Didn't you also reward copper coins? ”

Asking Ding Rou and walking towards Mrs. Tai's house, Lan Xin said with a smile: "The eldest lady rewarded the slave maid with a month's money, and Mrs. Tai rewarded each with an extra 200 copper coins. ”

"Is it everyone?"

"Yes."

Ding Rou lifted the curtain of Xidengzhi and entered the east house, seeing Mrs. Tai sitting on the kang with a smile on her face, Wen Li holding the account book in her hand, calculating how much silver she needed to reward the people in the house, Ding Rou bent her knees, "Grandmother." ”

"Liuya'er, help me calculate how much silver I get."

Ding Rou could see Mrs. Tai's pleasure, her son was promoted, and the happiest were his parents, Ding Rou pursed her lips and smiled: "If grandmother rewards all the subordinates, she is more generous than her mother." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Tai was a little puzzled, and Ding Rou explained with a smile: "Although 200 yuan per person is not much, how many people are in the house?" Some monthly money is not as much as yours, so you are more generous than your mother. ”

"Ghost girl."

Mrs. Tai smiled from ear to ear, Ding Rou roughly calculated, Mrs. Tai's point out is definitely bigger than the eldest lady, Wen Li joked: "The account book in the future is still read by Miss Six, Miss Six doesn't say that the slave maid still thinks that there is not as much money as the eldest lady." ”

Mrs. Tai narrowed her eyes, and through Wen Li's words, she said, "Sixth girl, are you willing to help me read the account book?" ”

Mrs. Tai is from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, according to the legend in the house, when she married Mrs. Ding, the real 120 dowry, Mrs. Tai's hometown has a custom, the daughter marries a stitch and a thread are from the mother's family, the full dowry, and even the coffin after death is ready.

There will be no shortage of Zhuangzi shops for her marriage, Mrs. Ding is not a person who expects his wife's dowry, even if Mrs. Tai does not understand business, but she will use enough people, and the dowry will not depreciate and shrink, but will become thicker and thicker, and the silver in Mrs. Tai's hand will not.

Wen Li put the account book in Ding Rou's hands, Ding Rou didn't want to be trapped in the inner house all the time, helping Mrs. Tai take care of the business can make Ding Rou's life more vivid, but it is not suitable now, how many pairs of eyes are watching in the house, Ding Rou put the account book on the kang table, and said: "The granddaughter accompanies her grandmother, and she is impatient to take care of the silver account book." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at her delicate little granddaughter and put her hand on Ding Rou's shoulder, "I tell you, don't underestimate the silver, although Ding Mansion Shili is an heirloom, but I don't know how to manage the account books, I don't know how to make money, and I count on the silver, how can I raise you?" ”

Mrs. Tai taught Ding Rou, afraid that she would not earn money to read the account book because she was too clear and high-minded, Ding Rou was a little funny, and she was also a little moved, she knew better than anyone that she couldn't do anything without money, Mrs. Tai had just been tempted, but now she is really teaching Ding Rou how to preside over the feed, which is often something that the concubine has never learned. Ding Rou listened carefully, Mrs. Tai spoke in detail, and the ancient and modern confirmed that Ding Rou found that it was not easy to be the wife of a big family.

"These are just the most superficial, I'll teach you something else in two days, Liuya'er is very smart, I am reluctant to bury your rare intelligence"

Ding Rou's heart suddenly tightened, and she raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Tai with an ordinary face, she seemed to have something to mean by this, and she was rare to be smart? What is the meaning? Ding Rou smiled, "After my grandmother's training, I am more sensible." ”

Mrs. Tai shook her head gently, her hand touched Ding Rou's cheek, her eyes were dark and dull, "No, Liuya'er, you are born with beautiful jade, you should be... When... It doesn't matter, I still have a chance. ”

Ding Rou didn't have time to think about it, Mrs. Tai put it back in Ding Rou's hand, "It's just a few shops, even if it is given to you, your mother will only be happy, my dowry will be distributed to your father and your second uncle, and you will not let your clever ghost get the benefits, you, honestly have to show me the account book and settle the accounts, Liuya'er, I am your grandmother, I will not harm you, only for your good." ”

If Ding Rou refuses again, it will make Mrs. Tai unhappy, and she looked at Mrs. Tai with bright eyes, "I must learn seriously from my grandmother." ”

Mrs. Tai hugged Ding Rou and laughed, Ding Rou didn't value these two or three shops, she finally had something to do, she didn't have to be bored in the back house thinking about what to eat and what to wear today, who among the sisters would calculate her, or ponder what the eldest lady wanted.

Ding Rou likes silver, but prefers the pleasure of earning silver, enjoying the process of struggle, she will feel that the modern Ding Rou has not disappeared, and will not become another decent ancient lady, if she loses her modern knowledge and bottom line, it is better to die clean.

Ancient women also had wonderful lives, not to mention the princess of Xinyang, who was raised by Empress Taizu, that is, the ladies that Ding Rou had seen, all of them were not virtuous enough to give concubines to their husbands, and they were obedient to their husbands.

"Mrs. Qiyu, Aunt Liu is outside."

Ding Rou got up from Mrs. Tai's arms, put the account book on the kang table, smoothed out the folds of Mrs. Tai's clothes that she was tired of, and straightened the hairpin on Mrs. Tai's head, "This scene Aunt Liu came to see you, maybe there is something, when I went to see the third sister, I heard the good news of my father's promotion, and I was not very happy to see the third sister when I was happy, and then the third sister went to the study, I talked and laughed with the fifth sister to round this matter in the past, my father said that the third sister is more sensitive than me in major matters, Xu is to see the reason." ”

Ding Rou told Mrs. Tai about the matter, Aunt Liu must have come to see Mrs. Tai for Ding Min, it seems that Master Ding punished Ding Min, Mrs. Tai sighed: "Ding Min's cleverness is used on the surface, she doesn't know why, what can she see?" Good luck didn't cause a big deal. ”
