Ding Yuluo's side is going very smoothly, if you ask those officials to beg Cheng Shixiong to let go of the Ding family and the next family's business, knowing that Cheng Shixiong is very annoyed because of the delay in military rations, even if those officials are willing to stand up for the Ding family, when they see Cheng Shixiong, they are also cowardly, how can this be said But let them put aside the private affairs of the Ding family and ask for the expansion of the official warehouse, which is a serious business, and it is reasonable to mention it.
Some official positions and positions that are not much inferior to Cheng Shixiong also solemnly mentioned the matter in an official letter sent to Fuzhou.
Among these people, the military generals are straightforward and outspoken, and the civil officials shake the pen, the pen walks the dragon and snake, the flowers are full of flowers, and the wonderful pen is full of flowers.
Cheng Shixiong asked his staff master to read these twists and turns to him every day, and he felt a headache just listening to it, but he was happy to see the suggestion of expanding the official warehouse, so he sent all these documents to Fuzhou.
He can't read and write, and if the officials under him have any suggestions, he will draw a circle if he agrees, and put a cross if he disagrees, and then send them all to Fuzhou to obey the general's fate, this is a common practice, but it is not because of this matter that it is unique.
As for Ding Hao's side, he found a group of craftsmen to set up a large courtyard in the barracks for them to live in, Ding Hao drew a sketch, and explained it to the craftsmen in person, the things he thought about were not complicated, but he could think of what others could not think, so those craftsmen understood as soon as they heard it, the specific production and size, they looked at the sketch and had a score in their hearts, but they were more sure than Ding Hao.
The things were made very smoothly, Ding Yuluo went to the craftsmen several times to watch, and when she saw the things that had become embryonic, even she felt novel, I really don't know how Ding Hao figured it out, if it weren't for the paint and color of those things, waiting to dry, Miss Ding was almost childlike, and she had to go up and try this new thing.
On this day, it was the birthday of Mrs.
Cheng, Ding Yuluo dressed up carefully, brought Ding Hao a set of gentry's regular clothes to wear, dressed decently, asked someone to find a few sets of cars, put all the things that Ding Hao instructed to make into the car, covered them with a tarpaulin, and mysteriously went straight to General Cheng's mansion.
Chengfu is full of lights today, and the congratulatory guests are overflowing.
Naturally, there was no Bai Ding who came and went to Cheng's mansion, and the officials and businessmen with lower status could only hand over gifts at the gate, and watched the housekeeper of Cheng's mansion write their names in the gift book, and left satisfied.
Ding Yuluo did not receive an invitation from Cheng Mansion, and he was not a familiar guest of Cheng Mansion, so he was stopped as soon as he arrived at the door, and Ding Hao hurriedly stepped forward to explain his identity.
Who in the Cheng Mansion didn't know about the kidnapping of the little prince two days ago, I heard that his own captain and his wife had given this Ding Hao a big gift, kowtowed, and learned that this person was Ding Hao, and those family members did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent people in to report it.
After a while, an old family member in a green coat and a green hat with a red silk waist greeted him happily, and several family members who were watching the gate hurriedly called out when they saw it: "Old housekeeper." ” "Belch", the old housekeeper smiled, greeted Ding Hao, crossed his hand, and said: "Little brother Ding, hehehe, my lord is accompanying a few distinguished guests, and he can't get out for a while. ” Ding Hao hurriedly said: "Old man, I heard that the old lady is 60 years old today, my young lady prepared a thin gift to come to pay respects, Ding Hao is to accompany my eldest lady, old man, you see how to arrange it."
"Oh" Old Butler Peng glanced at Ding Yuluo, and saw that this girl was slim and graceful, so he said: "Little brother, your young lady is" "My young lady is the Ding family of Bazhou, and the grain and grass in Guangyuan are all trafficked from the Ding family.
Thanks to the captain who has taken care of the business for many years, I heard that the old lady had a birthday, and my young lady wanted to pay a visit and talk about her feelings. ” "This" The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and said in his heart: "Today's distinguished guests are like clouds, how can the master have the leisure to pay attention to these things, if I go back and ask for instructions, Little Brother Ding's face is bound to be ugly, besides, the old lady likes this young man who is kind to the Cheng family very much, isn't it just to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks in the backyard, I placed this Miss Ding." ” Thinking of this, the old housekeeper changed his smile, greeted Ding Yuluo and said, "Hehe, my old lady has a big birthday today, and Miss Ding is coming to visit, please come in." ” Ding Hao said: "Old housekeeper, look at my big cars" Steward Peng was startled when he saw it: "What is this?"
"This is a gift from my young lady to the old lady."
"Ah" Steward Peng was speechless, in the Cheng family for so many years, he has seen a lot of gifts, generally speaking, it is the smaller the gift box, the more expensive the gift, what is the Ding family is giving, it will not be a cart of wheat, a cart of soybeans, and a cart Seeing that he was stunned, Ding Hao leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, and Steward Peng said curiously: "Seriously, this must be accepted, my old lady must be very satisfied."
But these cars can't get into the house, so, I'll find someone to lead you in through the side door, and Lao Peng will lead your young lady to the backyard first, and we'll see you in the west chamber in a while. ” "So, it's bothering the old man."
Ding Hao said, a piece of silver had been handed over, Lao Peng put the silver in his hand, turned around quietly and shouted: "Liu Xiao, you lead Ding Xiao'er's cart and enter through the side door."
Then he said to Ding Yuluo: "Miss Ding, please." ” Ding Yuluo glanced at Ding Hao, as Steward Peng entered the gate, Ding Hao commanded the cars to go around the side door, first carefully inspected by the guards inside and out, and then opened the door and let them go, entered the yard, Ding Hao asked people to unload all the things, at this time more than a dozen housekeepers sent by Steward Peng also arrived, Ding Hao hurriedly asked them to move the things, and with their Quyuan corridor around the back house, after a while Steward Peng also arrived, Ding Hao assembled and placed those things, and explained to Steward Peng, Only then did he return to the front yard with a family member.
The Cheng family has a lot of greetings today, and each greeting guest brings relatives or cronies, plus the servants and maids of the Cheng Mansion, and the invited troupe Kabuki, shuttling back and forth, there is simply no quiet place.
Although this kind of birthday banquet is very imposing, it must be a little unclassy in the eyes of Mrs.
Cheng, but the old lady likes this kind of liveliness, she has a big birthday, who dares to add this blockage to her, fortunately, the female relatives and female guests are in the backyard, Mrs.
Cheng is out of sight and out of mind, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to it.
These guests who can enter the house are divided into three, six and nine streams, except for the female guests, all of whom are placed in the inner courtyard, and the male distinguished guests are arranged in the White Tiger Hall, which is personally entertained by Cheng Shixiong, and the second-class ones are taken care of by the chief manager and a cronie of Cheng Shixiong's side, and the guests in the military are all placed in the side compartment alone, and a banquet is set up for hospitality.
In the front of a courtyard, there is a stage under the wall, and the room directly opposite has a flowing water seat for the guests to drink, and there are many people standing outside, watching the play, talking and laughing, like a market.
It was the first time that Ding Hao saw the ancients celebrating their birthdays, he wandered around curiously, and when he saw that the stage was more lively, he walked there.
As soon as he bypassed a rockery, he saw a man and a woman standing in the pavilion in front of him, and the person facing him was wearing an expensive rat fur and a belt of rhino horns, tall and handsome.
Ding Hao first felt a little familiar, and after a closer look, he recognized him as the Qin Yiyun Qin Gongzi who was in danger of being regarded as a thief by Zhao County Lieutenant in Qingshui Town.
This is really a person who relies on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, a graceful and luxurious makeup, and the feeling of the whole person is immediately different, and there is the style of a beautiful son in the world.
This handsome and worldly son, with an unbearable smile on his face at the moment, said to the girl in front of him in a lowly voice: "Yanyan, I came all the way here, are you not sincere enough to you, you always avoid me, for such a trivial matter, as for you, I have traveled thousands of miles, and I am sincere, you will die if you are moved":
