Chapter 245: Anguo Mansion

"Hehe, master, the young master is the most profitable person the old slave has ever seen.Last time we picked up a wolf's den of magic cores in Funiu Mountain, we only sold more than two million gold coins, which is less than half of the young master's earnings. You don't have to worry about your family's money in the future. Ding Kunshun reported to Ding Qi.

On the way from the Magician Association to the Anguo Mansion, Ding Qi listened to his son and the housekeeper tell about the major events that had happened in the past two years, and used the forbearance ability he had exercised in Lu Guo, and he didn't express any surprise at anything.

"Your grandfather, your grandfather, and your father are all people who can only spend money and can't make money, and in my hands, the Ding family's financial resources are not even as good as ordinary businessmen.

There is an old saying in the kingdom, 'The lost luck of a declining family will always have children and grandchildren to be recovered', which seems to have been fulfilled in you.

You are as I am, but your temperament is as your mother, it is not easy to suffer in this world, and the burden of family revival will be handed over to you.

Your grandfather has only one requirement for you, you must serve in the army for more than three years, and you can do whatever you like, and your father will not stop you.

By the way, if you like that Li Fei and that Ruan Xingzhu, marry home, our family doesn't have many daughters-in-law, whoever can give birth to a big fat boy will be your wife. Ding Qi expressed his position on his son's marriage for the first time.

He doesn't care about the woman's background, he only cares about whether he can continue the incense for the Ding family.

"Father, it's too early to talk about these things. Ding Kui was a little squirming.

"Hehe, the master is right, the young master can like it. Although the kingdom stipulates that nobles can only have one wife and two concubines, and the extra ones will not be recognized, but our family has a special situation, as long as you are pregnant with the young master, you are the young grandmother of the Ding family, the more the better. "The housekeeper is particularly concerned about Ding Kui.

It is the wish of the Ding family to have many sons and grandchildren, the longer the time passes, the lower the lower limit of the elderly in the family, in the past, the Ding family married the royal family from time to time, and the worst has to be a nobleman with a prominent family.

The old people were always happy about this kind of topic, and the carriage of Dingfu came to Donglin Street in a burst of laughter, although this street was not long, but only one family lived - the Jiang family of An Guogong.

The low buildings on the south side of the main street on the east side were occupied by slaves and their families, and the imposing mansion on the north side was the Anguo Mansion built by the kingdom at great expense.

At this time, the east street is constantly flowing, all kinds of vehicles and horses are constantly coming in and out, the gate of the Anguo Mansion is open but no one is moving, and there is a long queue at the side doors on both sides.

When the carriage with the crest of the horned python drove into the east street, a servant stepped forward to guide him, and instead of going to the main gate, he turned north into an alley, which was Anguo Lane, and only the ten dukes could name the alley after their titles.

There is a side door in Anguo Lane, and the relatives of the Jiang family do not go through the main gate to enter the house.

A man in his sixties, white and chubby, with no beard on his face, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a blue and white flying fish embroidered silk gown on his body, stood in front of the side door early and waited for Ding Qi and his party.

When Ding Qi saw this man, he took two steps forward and bowed, and said, "Brother Lao went out to greet him, and Ding Qi greeted Big Brother." ”

This man is Jiang Tong's eldest son, Jiang Yao's eldest brother Jiang Li.

"Finally waiting for you to come, and my father is still talking about how his little grandson is doing. Where's my little nephew?" Jiang Li looked at Ding as he got up.

Jiang Li visited Xiaxi Town when Ding Kui was eight years old, Ding Kui had seen him, and Jiang Shunchuan and Ding Xiao were brought to Ding Kui by him.

"Kui'er visited her uncle, and her uncle was exactly the same as back then, and he hadn't changed at all. Ding Kui flashed out from behind Ding's body, his father's body could cover his whole body.

"Yo, they're so tall, if it weren't for those eyes that look like your mother, I wouldn't have recognized them for a while. Come on, go with your uncle to see your grandfather, he is already looking forward to seeing you. Jiang Li dragged Ding Kui's hand, regardless of the others, and walked straight to the house.

Ding Qi showed a wry smile on his face, and took Ding Kun and Quan Sihai to follow Jiang Li into the side door. He knew that in the Jiang Mansion, his status was far inferior to Ding Kui, which was related to the fact that he didn't protect Jiang Yao back then, although he couldn't be completely blamed, but there was always a thorn in the heart of the Jiang family.

Jiang Yao was born after Jiang Tong was promoted to the Juggernaut Knight, he was much younger than the two brothers, and he used to be the most favored existence in Jiang Mansion. She is the only person who can ride on Jiang Tong's head to and pee, even the third generation of the Jiang family does not have such treatment.

The feeling that Ding Kui of the Anguo Mansion is that the courtyard wall is very high, the outermost wall is estimated to be six meters high, and the blue brick wall between the courtyards in the mansion is also about four meters. If the area is not large enough and the light is angled enough, the mansion will be lit up in broad daylight.

If you want to see Jiang Tong, you need to come to the deepest part of the Anguo Mansion, Jiang Li has been dragging Ding Kui's hand and not letting go, and while walking, he introduced Ding Kui to the place where Jiang Yao's interesting things happened back then, and he didn't stop talking for more than ten minutes.

In the end, Ding Kui followed Jiang Li to a very elegant courtyard, where there are a lot of flowers and plants, and the three-story building in the courtyard is all made of a kind of wood unknown to Ding Kui from the outside.

Jiang Li turned back to Ding Qi and said, "You come in, and the others stay outside." ”

Ding Kun and Quan Sihai stopped in front of the door of the courtyard when they heard this, and stood outside the door one left and one right. The status of the two of them in the Ding Mansion is not low, but there are many forbidden places in the Anguo Mansion where they cannot move around at will.

Looking at Ding Kui's pair of bright eyes, Jiang Li couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Mu Heng always said that you are a talented and intelligent child, comparable to Tian Kuang, the first prodigy of the Tongbei Empire, it seems that you have guessed what kind of place this is." That's right, my father chose to see you here, and you have to be considerate of his old man's painstaking efforts. ”

I don't know if Ding Kui remembered Jiang Yao, who he had never met, or his mother, who was far away on earth and could not meet again, his eyes were covered with tears.

When he came to the door of the small building, Jiang Li let go of the hand holding Ding Kui, sorted out his clothes for him, told him a few words of etiquette, and walked into the small building first without looking at Ding Qi.

Walking into the main hall of the small building, Ding Kui found that the floor, walls and furnishings in the hall were spotless, but they were a little old, and they could be seen to be old, and they should have maintained the appearance of the year, and they had not changed at all.

The white-haired Jiang Tong was full of red light, with a pair of wide palms pressed on his knees, and he was wearing a blue silk robe and sat in the main seat of the main hall.

Jiang Li, who was walking in front, deliberately slowed down his pace, took three steps and made two steps, and immediately knelt on the ground after passing Jiang Li, kowtowed three times, and said, "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law." ”

Ding Kui learned from his father to kneel down and kowtow three times, and said according to his own thoughts: "Grandson Ding Kui visits his grandfather, and I wish my grandfather will always be blessed and happy, comfortable and healthy every day." ”

Jiang Li bypassed the father and son and stood behind Jiang Tong.

"Hahahaha, that's a good point! You're my grandson? Li'er, does your nephew have the demeanor of his father when he was young?" Jiang Tong stroked his beard and smiled.

"Well, as the saying goes, a girl looks like her father, and it's not surprising that this child looks like your mother when you were young. Jiang Li didn't say it directly.

Why do the old people think the same, they all say that I am like him, do I look so white?

This was Ding Kui's thoughts, and of course he didn't dare to say it.

"Well, fortunately, it's not like his useless father. Jiang Tong didn't save half of Ding Qi's face, he wanted to scold for a long time, "How is your state competition?

"It's true that I haven't finished playing, but my grandson has already reached the final, and I can participate in next year's national competition without playing the rest of the games. Ding Kui couldn't bear to look at Ding Qi's face.

"Hehe, you didn't live up to my 'moon death', someone like you who can enter the national competition at the age of two years is rare in the history of knight competitions.

My breakthrough is not a coincidence, the impact has not broken through the bottleneck of the legendary knight for so many years, and I didn't hold back when the opportunity came, otherwise it would have allowed you to finish the state competition a few days later. ”

Ding Kui felt that this grandfather was more willful than himself, and such a big thing as being promoted to a legendary knight was brought over without holding back, which sounded simpler than going to the thatched house.

Ding Qi didn't dare to attack or show Jiang Tong his face, and finally seized the opportunity to pat himself on the back: "My father-in-law has been promoted to dominate the knight for many years, and his foundation is already quite strong, and it is a matter of course to break through to the legendary knight." ”

"You mean to dislike me for so many years to break through," Jiang Tong looked at Ding Qi and how unpleasant it was, but he finally spoke to him head-on, "Do you want to say that you would have broken through a long time ago?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, the son-in-law will never dare to have this kind of thought. Ding broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, I think you really don't dare to say it, and you don't dare to say it after thinking about it. For the sake of you, you brought my grandson to participate in the 'promotion ceremony', so I won't worry about you.

Kui'er, get up quickly, and come to my grandfather's side. The stereotype has been used for so many years, and no one has ever thought of replacing it with something else, tell your grandfather how you came up with such a good thing as a wall calendar?" Jiang Tong beckoned to Ding Kui.

Ding Kui glanced at his father, kneeling there and not moving.

Jiang Tong waved his hand to Ding Qi impatiently, and the father and son of the Ding family stood up, the difference was that Ding Kui ran to the chair next to Jiang Tong and sat down, while Ding Qi obediently stepped aside to stand.

"That's the case, at that time, I went to Funiu Mountain to practice, and found that many big trees were cut down, recalling the stereotypes at home, and estimated in my heart how many big trees the stereotypes in the country would be cut down, and the entire Funiu Mountain was not enough.

At that time, I thought, if there is something that can replace the stereotype, wouldn't it save a floating cow mountain? Leaning back to a big tree is a good way to enjoy the shade, so that there are a few more big trees in the kingdom, and a few more people can enjoy the shade. Ding Kui turned on the blind flickering mode, and no one blamed him for the wrong words in his old age.
