Ding Hao left Cheng Mansion, and Ding Yuluo's carriage had been waiting at the door. Because General Cheng was assassinated, soldiers were roaming around the streets hunting for the murderer, and the atmosphere was very tense. Ding Yuluo had a lot to ask him, this
Under such circumstances, it was not convenient to stay for a long time, so when he arrived, he ordered him to return to the camp immediately.
Steward Ding still came in as a whipper, and sat on the shaft of the carriage with Xi Zhu'er. The carriage galloped, and the bluestone ground made a "gring, grind, bang" sound. After driving for a while, they left the alley where the Cheng Mansion was located. Xi Zhu'er
He crooked his shoulders and said with a smile: "Hey, you are so blessed. The assassin who dared to kill Taiwei Cheng actually let you go."
Ding Hao smiled, waved his whip and said: "Yes, how can people take a little person like me to heart?"
Xizhu'er said disapprovingly: "No matter how big or small you are, you can become a person only if you are alive. If you die, no matter how big or small, you will still get three feet of loess? It's better to die than live. But...it's such a pity. You fainted at that time."
I haven’t seen a single good show here, it’s really... tsk tsk tsk..."
Ding Hao looked at it funny and knew that he must be talking about "A Bowl of Jade" running around naked, so he asked knowingly: "What's the show?"
Xian Zhuer's eyes widened and he said, "You don't know? Oh...that's right. You let Captain Cheng take you away as soon as you woke up. Of course you don't know."
He glanced back at the carriage and saw that the curtain of the eldest lady's sedan was tightly covered. Then he approached Ding Hao, his eyebrows were flying, and he said mysteriously: "Hey, I'm telling you, I'm watching a big show on the porch, 'A bowl of
That little girl named Yu suddenly ran onto the stage, and she... had her butt naked."
"oh?"
"Hey, I'm telling you, don't believe it. It's really naked. When I saw it, my eyes almost fell out. Those breasts, tsk, tsk, tsk... they're white and round, and that butt, tsk
Tsk tsk...it's round and white, my little girl...is so greedy."
Ding Hao couldn't help but chuckle, and Zhu'er glared at him dissatisfied: "I'm here to tell you something serious, don't be joking." Then he looked ahead and murmured to himself: "I'm the first one.
See you later, those eyes are not enough. I will beg my wife in the future. If I have a body like 'a bowl of jade', it will be really... tsk tsk tsk... I will be happy to kill her..."
Ding Hao laughed and said: "You guy, you are angry again, okay, okay, be careful not to let the eldest lady hear you."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know." Xiangzhu'er smacked his lips, his voice became softer again, and in a voice that only he could hear, he muttered to himself with endless aftertaste: "What a bastard, then
Breasts, that ass and balls, I’m really horny..."
In Xin Zhuer's endless reverie, the carriage drove back to the camp. After entering the dilapidated camp gate, Ding Hao and Xin Zhuer stopped the carriage, put down the pedals, Ding Yu signed the money and got out of the car, a pair of bright eyes turned slightly on Ding Hao's face,
He said softly: "Ah-Dai, come with me."
Xian Zhu'er was untying the mules and horses. Hearing these words, his hands stopped and he glanced at Miss Ding's back. He approached Ding Hao and said, "What does Miss Ding want from you?"
Ding Hao smiled and said: "Maybe... the eldest lady is also a little curious about that group of assassins. I'm going to see the lady. You can unload the car and go back to rest."
"Hey!" Xianzhu'er responded, and Ding Hao chased after Ding Yuluo. Xianzhu'er watched the two of them go away, staring intently at Ding Yuluo's figure.
The eldest lady has a pretty waist and long legs. He has always thought she is very beautiful, but he has no other feelings, but today he saw the naked body of 'A Bowl of Jade', which made this young man in his twenties too big.
After the shock, when I looked at the eldest lady again, I had a strange feeling, as if there was something inexplicable in my heart, which made me stand anxiously and uneasily, but I couldn't explain the reason.
At that time, the popularization of physiological knowledge was completely out of the question, and no one would tell Xian Zhuer about this knowledge. In the past, when people talked about women, they only mentioned superficial things.
He was a layman who knew nothing about it, but his instinct did not fall asleep due to ignorance. He looked at Miss Ding's back longingly and murmured: "If Miss Ding takes off her clothes like that 'bowl of jade'...
How pretty?”
"Pah!" He slapped himself hard and cursed in a low voice: "How come anyone dares to think about you? Don't be afraid of thunder and lightning and let me seize you, you filthy pig. You are really not a thing!"
"
Ding Hao followed Ding Yuluo into her room. Ding Yuluo sat in front of the kang and looked at Ding Hao intently. Ding Hao looked calm and looked at her calmly. After a long time, Ding Yuluo suddenly said: "Ah-Dai
, I have some questions, I hope you can answer me truthfully and don’t hide anything.”
Ding Hao said: "Miss, you don't have to ask me. If you ask me, I don't have an answer. In fact... I don't know what's going on. It was just a cold and fever a year ago that almost killed me. I felt dizzy.
A few days later, when I woke up, I felt like my mind was bright. No matter what I said or did, everything was a little different than before. I felt a little weird myself, but to be honest, I didn't understand what was going on.
"
Before Ding Yuluo asked the question, Ding Hao said it first. Ding Yuluo was stunned for a while. Ding Yuluo smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "I should know, there can't be any answer."
, but I really can’t help but be curious. That’s all, this change is only good for you and has no harm. There is no need to investigate its cause. There are still many things in the world that we don’t understand. Let’s investigate the reason and increase our knowledge.
trouble."
She stood up, walked around the room for a while, and asked: "The gift we gave you today was very pleasing to the old lady. At the banquet, Mr. Lu came to join in the fun again, which made it perfect for you and me. Now
The entire Cheng family is very polite to us, do you think the Ding family’s right to monopolize grain and grass can be preserved this time?”
Ding Hao thought for a while and said: "Whether General Fuzhou will agree to expand the granary in Guangfu does not depend on us, nor does it depend on General Cheng. I think that as long as the expansion of the granary in Guangyuan is not allowed,
The Ding family's exclusive monopoly on grain and grass management in Guangyuan will no longer be able to continue. Even if Taiwei Cheng is very fond of us, he will not trade on such a major matter that concerns wealth and life.
If the expansion of the official warehouse can be accomplished, the Ding family will be absolutely sure to continue to have exclusive rights. However, we must prepare for a rainy day and be prepared if the proposal to expand the official warehouse is not approved. If that happens, then we can also take the lead and strive for
The largest supply share. General Cheng’s anger has been extinguished, so with the connections the Ding family has established over the past twenty years, it is enough to ensure that the Ding family continues to be the largest grain merchant in Guangyuan’s grain supply.”
Ding Yuluo nodded, she walked around the room for a while, her mood gradually became irritable, and suddenly she hit her with her fist and said, "Ah-Dai, I really can't wait. I'm going to meet some reliable officials right now, let's
They strike while the iron is hot and make another move, what do you think?"
After not seeing Ding Hao's answer for a long time, Ding Yuluo turned around in surprise, only to see Ding Hao looking at her with strange eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time. Ding Yuluo lowered her head in shock and said coyly: "I...I am too impatient.
Already."
Ding Hao sighed and said with a wry smile: "General Cheng has just been assassinated. It is really not appropriate to ask those officials to make suggestions and build official positions at this time."
"You're right," Ding Yuluo said with embarrassment: "In the past, I always thought that if I were a man, I would be more than enough to take care of my father's housework. Who knows... I am not as good as you."
Ding Hao smiled and said: "You are just concerned and it is chaos. Now it seems that we have to stay in Guangyuan for a few more days. Be patient. We have done our best. Now we must wait and see what happens and find an opportunity before we can do it again."
Intend."
In the next few days, Ding Yuluo put aside his own affairs for the time being and only occasionally visited a few officials to inquire about the recent developments in the general's mansion. Ding Hao also often went to the city to obtain some information through his channels.
All kinds of news are flying in the city these days. Some say that the assassins were sent by the officials of the Song Dynasty. The officials wanted to eliminate the feudal vassals and concentrate military power on the court. If the Fuzhou Zhe clan refused to hand over their military power, the court would soon start a war with the northwest.
meet.
Some said that the assassins were Khitans from the north. They also said that on the day General Cheng was assassinated, he sent light cavalry out of the city to search the valleys and mountains within an eighty-mile radius in the north. He was once in the same valley with a thousand-man team of the Khitans.
encounter, the two sides fought a bloody battle, with heavy casualties on both sides.
Others mentioned the Northern Han Dynasty and the Dangxiang Qiang people in the Western Regions. There was no consensus among all the news. Ding Hao did not go to the Cheng Mansion to inquire about the news. For such a major military matter, he was the steward of a gentry's family and was not an official of the imperial court. What reason could he use to act rashly?
Lost ground and ran to inquire?
Two days later, Ding Yuluo suddenly brought back good news. Fuzhou had agreed to Guangyuan's expansion of official warehouses. Ding Hao was greatly excited after hearing this, and immediately accompanied Ding Yuluo to visit Cheng Mansion again. He went straight in and asked for forgiveness.
The second is to request to maintain the grain sales agreement signed between the Ding family and the former general of Guangyuan, and to exclusively undertake the grain supply business of Guangyuan City.
If the official warehouse in Guangyuan is fully used, the city will not be short of food due to a delay in the food team. In this case, with Ding Hao's deep friendship with the Cheng family, how could Cheng Shixiong offend them? Ding Yuluo
The important matter that had been worrying them all was finally decided, but Cheng Shixiong asked them to transport all the grain needed to expand the official warehouse in Guangyuan before May.
The Ding family cannot provide such a large amount of grain supply themselves. They also need to purchase it from other grain merchants and then transport it collectively. Therefore, Cheng Shixiong set the date in May. With such ample time, the Ding family can manage the grain supply.
Mi's decades of basic connections are enough to complete the project on time.
Ding Hao and the others live near the west camp of the Guangyuan Army. They can see the soldiers in the camp practicing every day. Recently, the drills in the military camp have become more and more frequent, and the troops frequently come in and out. It is very different from the daily drills. Ding Hao sees it in his eyes and feels in his heart.
I guess they must have taken revenge for the assassination of the Khitans, but they just pretended not to know.
They were just common people. Their livelihood matters had already been resolved, and they were about to prepare for the return journey. After receiving General Cheng's approval, Ding Yuluo was very happy. As soon as he left the Cheng Mansion, he immediately rushed to meet with several Guangyuan officials to discuss
some specific matters.
Ding Hao thought that he was about to return to Bazhou. On a whim, he recommended himself to Miss Ding. He didn't have time to tell his mother how worried this kind woman was about him at home. Now he was about to return, and he had money in his pocket.
, I wanted to buy some gifts for my mother no matter what, to express my feelings, so I asked Ding Yuluo for leave, and Xian Zhuer drove her to see her off, while I went to the street to buy things.
Guangyuan is the place where the Han people in the Central Plains meet the nomadic people outside the Great Wall. Silk and cloth from the Central Plains are much more expensive here than in the mainland, but furs, mink fur and other items are much cheaper than in the mainland. Naturally, it is impossible for the Yang family to wear
Fur clothes, but it’s also good to buy some good leather jackets and leather trousers.
Ding Hao wandered around the market for a long time and chose a set of lambskin jackets and trousers. Because the weather was getting warmer, the already cheap leather goods tended to drop in price. Under such circumstances, the old Qiang man who came from outside the customs said that
The words were not very smooth to begin with, but Ding Hao, a master who knew how to talk about prices, argued plausibly for a long time, and finally reluctantly sold him two sets at a bloody price.
Ding Hao smiled and rolled up the two sets of soft and comfortable lambskin jackets and carried them under his ribs. When he went to the jewelry store, he bought his wife a simple and natural silver hairpin. When he was about to return to the camp, he suddenly found a
A young girl stood in front of the stall, holding a skull carved from cow bone and looking at it curiously.
Ding Hao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily: "Miss Zhe?"
