Chapter 32 Chapter 92: Captive

When Liu Shishi came to the construction site of the canal this time, he naturally wanted to show off. Although the canal was neatly built, it was very easy to pick faults deliberately. Ding Hao is not a man of virtue who regards fame and fortune like floating clouds, otherwise why would he still be working hard in the world of mortals?But since he has no ambitions in the Ding family, he only needs to be worthy of his heart when doing things in the Ding family, and he doesn't care whether he praises or criticizes his achievements. Ding Hao's attitude made Liu Shiyi feel as if he had punched the cotton with a fist, and he was so empty that he couldn't put any effort into it.But Ding Hao just smiled and said nothing, but Zhen Baozheng couldn't see it, and he was always standing by to show Ding Hao's merits.He and Liu Shiyi had always been friendly, but Liu Shishi couldn't be too inconvenient to save his face too much.

When they came to the river, they saw that the river workers were fighting in the river channel covered in mud, but the river channel was full of soup and mud, which made those simple digging tools ineffective. Seeing this, I couldn't help frowning. Seeing his expression, Zhen Baozheng complained, "Old Liu, our excavation speed has always been very fast, and it's only here that something went wrong."It is really not easy to dredge the river. The river workers have tried their best. If they want to go faster, unless they increase their manpower, the gods will have no choice.

Liu Shiyi pursed his lips and said, "You burn countless incense, how can the gods care about your canal repairs?"Was this river channel delineated by the state capital early on? yes. That being the case, then you already knew that the river course is here, and you need to connect a ready-made river. You should have thought that the soft silt in the river is not easy to dig, so why didn't you take precautions and cut off the river in advance?I didn't plan ahead, so that's fine, now that the river is cut off, the river mud is soft and difficult to dig, so why not skip this section of the river and continue digging forward for the time being.Now that the weather is getting hotter and the river is cut off, it will only take a few days for the silt here to crack into pieces of mud. At that time, it will be much easier for you to go back and clean up this section of the river?

wow!Zhen Baozheng was overjoyed: "Old Liu, you awakened the dreamer, Xiao Ding and I were both trapped by this river, and we racked our brains only to think of how to clean it out, but such a simple method never came to our mind, haha, I This calls the folks to suspend work and skip this section for the time being. When Ding Hao heard this, his face became hot.When clearing the river channel, he also tried his best to think of many ways, but each way started from how to solve the difficulty of digging the silt, but his knowledge in this area was extremely limited, and the most he thought about was relying on mechanical force.But even if he was an excavator designer in his previous life, he would not be able to build a usable machine under the current objective conditions.Who would have thought that Liu Shiyi's words would save them a lot of effort. In fact, there is nothing clever about this method, but it is not everyone's first time doing things that can be thoughtful. , It all depends on your own exploration, and you have to take a few more detours to realize it.

He glanced at Liu Shiyi and thought: As for the experience and tricks to adapt to this era, it seems that I still have a lot to learn from others. It was night, and Liu Shishi stayed on the construction site overnight.Zhen Bao was doing his best to make use of the existing conditions to pick up a few small dishes, and he also asked someone to go up the mountain to hunt a pheasant, picked some fresh mushrooms to stew, and took out a jar of old wine he brought, and invited Ding Hao to join him Congratulations to Liu Shishi who has just been promoted to the second steward of the inner courtyard.

When Liu Shishi sat on the wine table, he lost his domineering attitude during the day, and when he received a few compliments from others, his face became even more cheerful.Ding Hao didn't talk much, he just drank a few drinks in a perfunctory manner. Seeing in Zhen Baozheng's eyes, he felt that Guanshi Ding had been robbed of his important job, which made him feel depressed. From Zhen Baozheng's point of view, Ding Hao is really too young. In terms of behavior and experience, it is really hard to compare with Liu Shiyi. Regardless of his personal relationship with Zhen Yangge and Liu Shiyi, if it is just a matter of fairness, Liu Shiyi and Ding Hao should change positions.Ding Hao's ability to become a steward at a young age has already proved his ability. After a few more years to improve his qualifications, he still has a bright future in the Ding family.So he courteously persuaded him to drink, Liu Shiyi seemed to let go of his posture, and toasted him frequently, Ding Hao dealt with it casually, but he didn't drink less of the wine.

When the moon was rising, Ding Hao was a little tired, so he pushed his cup to say goodbye, Liu Shixu stopped him a few times, and then sent him out of the tent with a smile on his face. winked, then grabbed Zhen Baozheng who also wanted to say goodbye and left, and dragged him back to the tent with a smile. With the excavation of the river, the tents of the river workers are also moved forward along the river at any time. Today, Liu Shiyi gave advice, and Zhen Baozheng ordered them to temporarily skip the section of the river that had just stopped flowing and dig forward. It also moved forward.Because several pots and stoves were cooking, so the pots and stoves, the tents of several cooks, and the tents of Zhen Baozheng, Ding Hao, Liu Shishi and other stewards remained in place.Now that the two camps are separated by one or two miles, the place is much quieter.

The surrounding fields are silent, the moon is bright and cold in the sky, insects are chirping in the grass, it is quiet and elegant.Ding Hao, who was a little bit drunk, walked alone, but he didn't notice two people quietly approaching behind him. As he was walking, Ding Hao stopped suddenly, looked around, and the two people who followed quietly sneaked into the grass. Ding Hao saw that there was no one around, then he stood on his feet, untied his robe, and walked in the field. conveniently.When the two saw each other, they made gestures to each other, and approached gently like civet cats.

Ding Hao untied his hands, just tied up his robe, and was about to turn around and leave when his eyes went dark. Before he could react, he was hit hard on the head again, and immediately fell down in a daze. At this time, Luo Dong'er and the cooks were still up, and they had to clean up the dishes after Guanshi Liu had finished drinking.Under the dim light, four women sat there mending their clothes and chatting about their daily routines.Several aunts and parents chatted shortly, and they talked about Luo Donger.The aunts were a little apprehensive towards the tyrannical Mrs. Dong and Li. They would not talk about Dong's parents, but there are only a few people in this place, and they are used to seeing Ding Hao's closeness to Luo Dong'er and the chatting and laughing of the river workers. , and talked about it without taboo.

Dong'er, to be honest, Steward Ding is really a good person. Although this kid is a bit of a kid, he has always been an honest and good boy.Now that he has been enlightened by the fox fairy, his heart has been opened, and he has no choice in speaking and doing things.He is now the steward of the Ding family, how promising is he? Luo Donger blushed, lowered her head and remained silent. Another aunt said: Of course, if you are willing to keep festivals for your husband, the aunt should not say such things, but you were only a young man when you married into the Dong family. When I was a child, I was like a boy who didn't grow up. What kind of affection can the two of you have?Your mother-in-law treats you so meanly, even though her village is famous in Diaoheng, and her natal family has many brothers, uncles and nephews, no one dares to provoke her, but that doesn't matter, who is Guanshi Ding?That's the steward of the Ding family. If he marries you, would the Dong family dare to provoke you?

This made sense, and the third woman jokingly said, "Speaking of which, even if you want to remarry, only the steward of the Ding family will marry you in the entire Ding family manor, so you are not afraid of her Dong family calling at you."Just say it, Brother Hao, when it comes to status, it's decent.There is nothing to choose in terms of character; in terms of age, it is also a good match, he is so rare about you, if he really wants to marry him, he will love you, you are young, do you really plan to live like this for the rest of your life?Not to mention that there is such a Diao mother-in-law, it is not easy to endure. Luo Dong'er was disturbed by what they said, turned her back, and said coyly: "Auntie, this is very good, why did it come to me? Let's not talk about it, will it work?" An old aunt said: Dong'er, Brother Hao is very warm to you, you are so silent, what kind of rules are you talking about, you should always reply to others, right?Steward Ding doesn't even want the old Liu's big girl, so he just wants to marry you, isn't he good enough for you?You have to think about it, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop. Luo Dong'er thought of her mother-in-law's ferocity, and the power of dozens of men in the Dong family, and she felt a chill in her heart. When she heard the words of the Liu family girl from her aunt, she immediately felt inferior and felt sorry for herself. : Yes, I have such an evil mother-in-law, and she is a married woman, how can I be worthy of Ding Hao.Ding Hao, I heard that he is acquainted with the county lieutenant and General Guangyuan. If he really wants to marry, he will not spoil his dignity.Besides, if my mother-in-law knew that I wanted to remarry, she wouldn't beat me to death Thinking of this, the tears welled up in her eyes, she lost her mind, and the needle in her hand stuck in the pad of her finger, causing her to cry out in pain, and a bright red drop of blood oozed out What's the matter, you girl, why are you sewing clothes with a lamp on your back? : Are you still asleep? Oops, did Steward Liu finish his drink, so we're going to clean it up right now.The other two aunts hurriedly stood up. No rush, no rush.Our master Liu and Zhen Baozheng are chatting speculatively, young lady of the Dong family, master Liu told you that you are good at cooking, and I want you to prepare two more dishes. I think you should stop running around. It's a little high, so you can take care of it there. Oh, I'm going here now.Luo Dong'er quickly piled up his clothes and followed him out of the tent. When Luo Dong'er arrived at Liu Shishi's residence, she fried two more vegetables, warmed the stewed pheasant and mushrooms, and served them up, then sat down in a small chair at the door.Liu Shi and Zhen Baozheng had just reached the point of chatting, when they saw her move, they said, "Miss Dong, what are you doing sitting there?" Luo Dong'er stood up and said: "My servant is here to take care of me, so I can get hot food at any time." Liu Shiyi waved his hand and said: "It's late at night, it's so inconvenient for you as a woman, Zhen Baozheng and I still have a lot to talk about, this drink will take a long time, you should go back first." Luo Donger responded, turned around and went out. The two brothers Wang Yu and Wang Yi who were guarding the door looked at each other with a sinister smile on their faces. Wang Yu coughed lightly and said, "Miss Dong, I will see you off." Bar. Luo Dong'er responded, thanked her and walked ahead, carefully identifying the road under the moonlight, just after taking a few steps, Wang Yu saw that there was no one around, and rushed forward, covering Luo Dong'er's mouth, Luo Dong'er She was so shocked that she struggled hard, and Wang Yi jumped up beside her, strangled her mouth with a towel, tied her hands, and put her into a sack. The two lifted the sack and sneaked into the room. quiet moonlight
