The entire Ding Mansion became lively because of Ding Yunyi's return.
"Father, mother."
In the living room, Ding Yunyi said respectfully.
Ding Yuanzhao, as always, sat there motionless, just saying "en" from his nose. Ding Chen Wanhe, who was sitting next to him, only said: "Xiang Wen, you are back..." and choked with sobs.
I can't say any more.
I wanted to get up and take a good look at my son, but then I glanced at my husband next to me and suppressed this thought.
Ding Yunyi didn't care. He turned to the right and saw the couple sitting there with a child. They must be his eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law: "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law."
The eldest brother-in-law Wang Qingheng smiled slightly: "Xiang Wen, it's been a hard journey."
The eldest sister, Ding Biwei, burst into tears and pulled the child next to her: "Quick, Chi Rui, call uncle."
Their child Chi Rui, who was four or five years old, called him "uncle" in a sweet voice. Ding Yunyi agreed. Seeing that the child looked very cute, he couldn't help but like it. He took out a jade pendant and regarded it as a gift for himself.
This is a meeting gift for my nephew.
Then to the other party: "Second sister, second brother-in-law."
Ding Biyue was just like her eldest sister, with red eyes. It was obvious that these two sisters loved her younger brother Ding Yunyi very much. Just as she was about to speak, her second brother-in-law Ye Yuan said with a smile: "How do you say this? How do you say this?"
I mean, today is a great day for a family reunion, but we are all crying. Xiang Wen, the food and drinks have been prepared for a long time. Come on, let’s go and wash the dust for Xiang Wen.”
Sitting at the banquet, Ding Yuanzhao remained as usual, with a straight face and said not a word. Wang Qingheng's temper was similar to his, and he also had a straight face. He was carved from the same mold as Ding Yuanzhao.
However, Ye Yuan was clever and picked up the wine glass first: "Come on, everyone is looking forward to it and thinking about Xiang Wen's return, but now that Xiang Wen is back, there is no sound? Xiang Wen, the second brother-in-law proposes a toast to you first.
"
"Thank you, second brother-in-law." Ding Yunyi raised his glass: "Father, mother, I'd like to toast you."
"Hey, hey." Ding Chen Wanhe said hurriedly. Ding Yuanzhao let out another "hmm" in his nose, raised his cup and took a sip.
"Master, madam, this is terrible." Jiang Qi, who was standing waiting at the side, said in surprise; "Guess what? Our young master is now a knight and guarding Penghu!"
"Oh, that's a big happy event for our family." Ye Yuan called out at once: "Come on, Xiang Wen, we have to have another drink."
Ding Yunyi smiled and drank another drink with him, only to hear Ding Yuanzhao snort coldly: "What merit do you have to be promoted to the Penghu garrison? Even if you kill a few pirates, it is still your share."
Internal affairs. You are on guard duty at a young age. Do you think our Ming Dynasty really has no talents?"
Originally this was a happy event, but in Ding Yuanzhao's words, it seemed as if Ding Yunyi had done something heinous. Fortunately, Ding Yunyi had already learned his temper and didn't take it seriously at the moment.
Wang Qingheng finally said: "Father, I am the young emperor, and Xiang Wen has been summoned by me again. I think the young emperor will have a bad temper when he sees this young general."
He wanted to say that Ding Yunyi was a "major general," but when he said that, he felt that Ding Yunyi was far from a general.
"Not necessarily, not necessarily." Ye Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "I have heard that Xiang Wen returned to Beijing with Eunuch Wang Chengen, not to mention that in Hangzhou, Xiang Wen fought bloody battles and saved Eunuch Wang's life.
.....”
Ding Yunyi was very surprised that his second brother-in-law was so well informed?
Ding Chen Wanhe, Ding Biwei, and Ding Biyue suddenly exclaimed, and Ding Biwei said in a panic: "Xiang Wen, did you fight with someone else?"
Ding Yunyi almost laughed. Fighting? Is this a fight? Before he could speak, Ding Biyue exclaimed again: "Xiang Wen, your hands."
The wound on Ding Yunyi's left hand was not healed, but it was not noticeable. No one noticed it at first, but somehow Ding Biyue saw it now.
Ding Chen Wanhe was even more frightened: "Quick, Jiang Qi, invite Doctor Li here."
"Mom, it's no need." Ding Yunyi quickly stopped his mother: "I suffered some minor injuries when I was in Hangzhou. Now I feel better, so I don't need to take it seriously."
Ding Chen Wanhe never thought that his usually docile and filial son would actually fight with others. He was so anxious that he would have shed tears if his husband hadn't been by his side.
"Xiang Wen is a soldier, how can a soldier not be injured?" Ding Yuanzhao glared at his wife with dissatisfaction, and then said: "Xiang Wen, what happened? How did you save the life of Mr. Wang?
?”
Ding Yunyi said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing. We went to Beijing with the order, passed by Hangzhou, and saw the prince being attacked in Tingyu Tower. We had a big fight with the assassins, and we killed more than ten of them."
The three women, Ding, Chen, Wanhe, turned pale when they heard this, and Ding Biyue's voice trembled: "Xiang Wen, you, you killed someone?"
"What do you know?" Ye Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "Xiang Wen was extremely brave. When he was in Penghu, he killed the giant pirates Hitachi Gong Baotian and Oniwang Maru, especially the Oniwang Maru. He was rampaging across the sea. Even Zheng Zhilong couldn't do anything, but he died in Xiang.
In the hands of Wen Wen, do you think that the current Ding Yunyi is still the Ding Xiangwen who only knows how to study?"
"Oh my god, Guanyin Bodhisattva bless you." Ding Chen Wanhe's voice was trembling, but he couldn't hold back the tears and begged her husband: "Master, I beg you, please bring Xiang Wen back no matter what.
We don’t need to be on guard anymore, we just stay at home. We fight and kill all day long. If something goes wrong, how can I go to see the ancestors of the Ding family!"
Ding Yunyi smiled and said, "Mother, it's nothing. My son was ordered to guard Penghu. That's the trust the emperor and the court have in his son. In fact, we don't kill every day. It's not as dangerous as we thought."
Ding Biwei interrupted her brother: "I heard that Penghu is the most miserable. The wind can overturn the house. There is no food and no fresh water. Xiang Wen, how can people live in such a place? It's better for father and you to live together.
Brother-in-law, please find a way to transfer you back."
"This is unreasonable." Wang Qingheng said: "How can we be allowed to do such a thing? It is simply an insult to our honor."
Ding Yunyi smiled. He had already heard of his brother-in-law's "reputation", and now he saw it was true: "Sister, Penghu is a bit hard, but it's not that exaggerated. Our life is comfortable."
Immediately, he told his family everything about his time in Penghu.
