Chapter 191: Unwilling to be a slave
Within the prefectural office.
Ding Ye looked at the young man who came with a complicated expression.
Originally, although he paid more attention to this young man because of his mother's relationship, and later experienced the poetry meeting, he also looked down on this young man, but he never thought that this young man was so extraordinary.
"Some time ago, there was a Taoist in Si Tianjian who came to look for you. Ding Ye said.
"I see. Su Ting did not hide it, and said truthfully: "He is my distant nephew, and he came from the capital to visit me, and after meeting me, he went back to the capital." ”
"Distant nephew?"
Ding Ye felt that this title was very strange, but after taking a closer look at Su Ting, it was not much, but he was slightly glad in his heart.
This Su Ting's seniority is actually higher than that of the middle-aged Taoist of the Heavenly Prison.
Fortunately, he had some consideration in his heart at that time, and he did not sell Su Ting directly, otherwise, he was afraid that Su Ting would come here, and he would be guilty of Xingshi.
Both parties are unprovoked figures, but Su Ting is obviously even more unprovoked.
"This time, Su is going to leave Kanling and go to the capital. ”
Su Ting smiled and said, "This time, I came to bid farewell to Lord Ding. ”
Ding Ye glanced at him and said slowly: "It's not just a resignation?"
Su Ting didn't look stunned, and said calmly: "There is indeed another matter. ”
Ding Ye raised his hand slightly and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Su Ting said calmly: "I see that under Lord Ding, there is a young family member, who is also smart and steady, but it is a pity that he is a slave, it is a pity, why not let him go free?"
Ding Ye has been in the officialdom for many years, and he can be in charge of Kanling, so he is naturally a smart person, even if he understands a lot, he said: "Ding Yan is indeed capable and ambitious, and he is my right-hand man, and I can rest assured that everything is handed over to him...... Are you trying to cut off my arm?"
Su Ting smiled: "What does Lord Ding think?"
Ding Ye sighed and said, "No matter how powerful the arm is, since we can't be concentric, Ding can no longer treat him as a confidant." ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Su Ting and said, "He is indeed a capable person, but unfortunately he is too smart to keep to himself, I already know this, but I didn't expect that he could actually ask you to help." ”
Su Ting said with a smile: "Su actually doesn't like to meddle in things, but this time Bai Kanshan has gained a lot of benefits, and it is not good to break his word and gain weight." ”
Ding Ye said calmly: "Since you come to speak, it's okay." ”
Su Ting arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you." ”
Ding Ye raised his hand slightly and said, "Go slowly." ”
......
In front of the Ding Mansion.
Ding Yan took a deep breath and glanced back.
grew up in the Ding family since he was a child, but Ding Ye's mansion seems to be his cage.
Now that the cage has been taken off, the sky is high and the birds can fly, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and there is no longer restraint.
Ding Yan came back to his senses, looked at the young man in front of him, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed, "Thank you, sir." ”
Su Ting raised his hand slightly and said, "Get up." ”
He looked at the young man and looked at him for a moment.
In today's world, dignity and humility are orderly, and they are almost insurmountable.
In the Ding family, there are more than 100 families, and there are many smart people, but only this person is highly valued, and he still does not want to be satisfied with the status quo and wants to get rid of slavery.
In the prevailing world, this kind of thinking is akin to rebellion.
Ding Yan got up, glanced back, and said in a low voice: "The Ding family treats me well, and in the future, the villain will be rewarded if he succeeds." ”
Su Ting just laughed, and the meaning of the words was difficult to understand.
Ding Yan turned to Su Ting, bowed down and said: "Ding Yan got out of the Ding family, in the eyes of Mr., maybe he has no respect and humility, and he has antipathy, but in fact, Ding Yan has the heart to get out of slavery, but at least when the Ding family is doing things, he has always done his best. It's not a secret, the Ding family treats me very well, it's just ......"
He said in a low tone: "A subordinate is a subordinate after all, no matter how great my ability is, I still do things for the Ding family, but I can't do things for myself." ”
Su Ting said calmly: "I can understand. ”
After all, Su Ting came from another world, and his thoughts were very different from those of the people in this world, which could be called deviant.
In fact, Ding Yan's move to break away from slavery is already deviant, but in Su Ting's eyes, it is just like this, but what makes Su Ting a little surprised, this Ding Yan was born in the Ding family, from this world, and he also has such an unwilling mind, which makes people look up to it.
Ding Yan saw that Su Ting had no different colors, and sighed slightly in his heart.
"If you stand tall, but your eyes are limited, you may not be able to see far. ”
Ding Yan smiled bitterly: "But standing in the well, no matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see far." ”
Su Ting nodded slightly and said, "It seems that you have followed Ding Ye, but you have also read books for a few years and understand some truths." ”
Ding Yan sighed and said: "I have seen many smart people, whose status is not high, but there is no lack of intelligence, but such people, without corresponding identities, can only be in the market, calculating the gains and losses of one or two taels of silver." I don't want to be like this, and I often think that if I have a free body, I can show all my abilities...... Now, thanks to Mr., I finally got what I wanted. ”
Speaking of this, he bowed down and said, "The grace of the gentleman is no less than the virtue of rebirth." ”
Su Ting smiled and said, "Excuse me, we're just a deal, I benefited from Baikanshan this time, and I mentioned it for you by the way, and the two don't owe each other." ”
Ding Yan smiled bitterly: "For Mr. Yu, it's just a sentence, but for Ding Yan, it is a lifetime change, and nothing can offset such kindness." ”
Su Ting looked at him deeply, as if he felt a little underestimated about this person.
"Mr. is extraordinary, and he may not understand how important it is to get rid of slavery in the hearts of villains. ”
"Mr. is an immortal, and the world is a human, but I am a slave, not even a human. ”
"We wait for these minions, with low status, after all, they are people under the people, so we envy the powerful and powerful, in fact, they are like ordinary people in the world, who are single-minded and want to ask for the cultivation of immortals. ”
Ding Yan said: "The villain has seen the celebrities and magnates in the court, and he has also seen the people at the bottom of the market. ”
"In fact, the people in the market may not be duller than the people in the court, maybe they are smarter, but their status is destined to their intelligence, and they can only care about one or two taels of silver in the market. ”
"And the people above the court, their wisdom may not be very high, but where the status and authority are, under the command, it involves the life and death of countless people, affecting hundreds of millions of wealth. ”
"For example, a villain, no matter how capable he is, no matter how big his idea is, he will work for the Ding family after all. ”
"But now, how much ability the villain has, it is his own ability. ”
Ding Yan's words were full of emotion.
Su Ting had never been a slave, he thought that when he had just crossed over, he was in an embarrassing situation, and he was already a person at the bottom of the world, but he never realized that this lower column, listening to his words, he had a little understanding.
"In the early years, the Ding family had a friend of mine, who was also a member of the family, but the second master of the Ding family went out and blocked an arrow for the second master, and the second master was also quite sad after his death, but he forgot it afterwards, and it was still not as sad as the real Ding family when they died. ”
"Later, when I was in the capital, I also heard many things, there were people who went out with the main family, and after being in distress, the main family died, and the next person got away with it, but the protection was not effective, and the main family had to be buried with them. ”
"Even, some time ago, Lord Liu, the scholar of Tianzhang Pavilion, had an old incident. ”
Ding's tone was very heavy, full of sighs and sorrows.
"What's the matter?" asked Su Ting.
"It is rumored that there is a painting in Lord Liu's house, but there is a great martial arts master who has taken a fancy to this painting. ”
Ding Yan said in a low voice: "If you don't present the painting, the Liu family will be restless, even if you are a first-class scholar, it will be difficult to defend against the great master of martial arts." Lord Liu has the heart to give the painting, but there is the emperor's imperial pen on the painting, if the painting is presented, it is disrespectful to the emperor...... Therefore, he let the great martial arts master take the painting. ”
Su Ting frowned slightly and did not answer.
Ding Yan continued.
"When the great master took the painting, he killed one of the family members who stood in the way, but spared the other family. ”
"But in order to strictly rectify the family law, this family member who escaped from life is not well guarded, and he must be killed with a cane. ”
"Therefore, no matter how many of these family members go to stop the great martial arts master, they will all die...... If they block the way, the great martial arts master will kill them, but if they don't block the way, Lord Liu will kill them. ”
Ding Yan said: "This is the status of our subordinates. ”
Su Ting said in a low voice: "A similar story seems familiar?"
Ding Yan smiled bitterly: "There is indeed a precedent, I heard that eight hundred years ago, Emperor Liang's bedroom was broken into by Concubine Yue, and the people who guarded it were not effective in guarding, and they were killed for crimes...... Later, there were those who blocked Concubine Yue, and a few were killed by Concubine Yue's subordinates, but it was over, and even, the remaining few, because Concubine Yue didn't like it, were killed by Emperor Liang to vent their anger. ”
"A subordinate is a subordinate after all. ”
"Life is not worth anything. ”
"I'm not a human being. ”
"I didn't dare to be a slave, I was unwilling to do what I did, and I made a wedding dress for the Lord's family. ”
Ding Yan said this, his tone was heavy.
Su Ting touched his chin and was silent.
This person has this idea, and I am afraid that he will not be satisfied with the status quo in the future, and now he can be regarded as having some ability, and he may be able to become a great tool in the future.
But only if you don't die young.
After experiencing so far, Su Ting naturally understands that people have good and bad luck.
Life is full of accidents, and no one knows if there will be tomorrow or not.
For example, Su Li, compared to He Yunfang, everyone thinks that their future is limitless, they are born in a big family, they are extraordinary, one is very likely to control the family, and the other is very likely to be an official in the capital.
But who would have thought that after they provoked Su Ting, they would also die overnight, ruining their good future.
"Listening to what you say, I have a lot of insights. ”
Su Ting nodded and said, "However, no matter how important it is to you, for me, it is just a sentence. ”
When Ding Yan heard this, his complexion changed again and again, and said, "Actually, the villain ......"
Su Ting waved his hand and said, "You and I have no chance, I won't accept apprentices." ”
His voice was flat, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Ding Yan glanced at him and gritted his teeth slightly, but he was helpless in his heart.
Cultivators are the most concerned about fate.
The words have come to this point, which shows that the other party really has no intention of accepting apprentices.
Sure enough, it was a no-brainer.
Ding Yan bowed deeply and said goodbye and left.
