Chapter 55 Chapter 115 Private Talk

The sky was gloomy and the rain was pattering. Standing in front of the window, Ding Chengye looked at the blur made by the rain under the eaves, and his face was even more gloomy. Yan Jiu stood behind his shoulder, peeping at his face from the side, and said in a painful voice, "Second Young Master, you know, because Second Young Master was rescued by Jiu'er at the expense of his life. The second young master loves him like his own flesh and blood.Now that the Eldest Young Master is abolished, the Ding family's huge property should be taken care of by the Second Young Master.But the eldest young master wants to pass on the family business to outsiders, Jiu'er can't stand it.

Ding Chengye gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said, "Why, why, I'm his brother. What the hell is he thinking? His son's root was crushed, could it be that his head was also crushed?" up? Yan Jiu gave a sinister smile, took a step forward and said, "Second Young Master, it's obvious.The eldest young master and the second young master are siblings from the same mother, and both are legitimate sons.He was disabled, and the family business was handed over to the second young master, and his long house has since declined.Second young master, you recognize him as your elder brother, but after three generations and two generations, the kinship will be far away. At that time, the eldest grandson was passed down by your second young master, and the incense in the ancestral hall is your second young master's prosperity. Do you remember who he is?

Ding Chengye smiled and said: What two generations and three generations, does he still have the ability to carry on the family? Yan Jiu twirled his beard, squinted his eyes, his eyes flickered with a cold light, and said with a half-smile: If the young master puts Ding Hao on the throne, Ding Hao is grateful, how can he not obey him?Besides, even if he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan, he is still a concubine, so if he starts troubles about housework, he can't help your second young master, so he will definitely ask the eldest young master for help.Leaving aside the matter of two or three generations later, at least now, the eldest and young master can retreat behind the scenes, so that the power will not be left behind.

Besides, since Ding Hao will have a son in the future, won't it be easy to adopt one for him?With the young master's scheming methods, maybe twenty years later, he can snatch back this power and pass it on to him.No matter in whose hands this power is handed over, the second young master is done for, and he depends on others' expressions He stretched out his sleeves to wipe his eyes, and sighed, "That's the servant who drove your horse back then, and the second young master will have to look at his face in the future, Jiu'er feels very uncomfortable thinking about it."Besides, the Second Young Master treated him badly in the past, and once he has power, he doesn't know how to squeeze you.

I went to find my father, this old fool, what did I do to make him look down on me.The more Ding Chengye listened, the more angry he became, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became. He turned around and wanted to rush out of the house in the rain.Yan Jiu hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Second Young Master, don't you know the master's temperament?What he decided, nine cows can't pull back.It's fine if you don't make noise, if you annoy the master by making noise, there is no room for turning back. When Ding Chengye heard it, he stood there in a daze, and muttered: Then what should I do?If you want me to bow down to a servant and call him brother, I will not kill him.

Yan Jiuyin said: "Second young master, this old slave has a proper method, which can not only get rid of the master's ideas, and hand over the family business to you smoothly, but also get rid of Ding Hao's thorn in his side. Second young master, you play a show with the old slave. Ding Chengye grabbed him and said: "What a good plan, tell me quickly, if it really does what I want, young master, I will be the head of the Ding family, and I will never treat you badly." Ding Chengye whispered something into his ear, Ding Chengye turned pale with shock, and said in a trembling voice: How could it be so?He is my big brother, even if there is everything wrong, how can I hurt him like this?For the sake of my Ding family's wealth and honor, my eldest brother was killed by thieves and his legs were broken. It is inhumane. It is already miserable enough. How can I not do it, I absolutely can't do it.

Yan Jiu gave a sinister smile, and said in a cold voice: "Second young master, a small amount is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband."The Eldest Young Master is already a useless person, and living is also a pain, why doesn't the Second Young Master end this pain for him.besides His eyelids slowly rolled up, neither yin nor yang, and said slowly: Second Young Master, are you worthy of him now? There was a sound of thunder and thunder in the sky at the right time, which made Ding Chengye tremble. He took two steps back and changed his expression: What do you mean?

Yan Jiu lowered his eyelids and smiled faintly, and said in a gloomy voice: Second young master, if the young master finds out about you and the eldest wife, if you think of brotherhood, he won't think of brotherhood for you anymore. When Ding Chengye heard it as if he was seeing a ghost or being struck by lightning, he took a few steps back, pointed at him and shouted tremblingly: How do you know? Yan Jiu sighed and said: "Second young master, this man in the deep house has some behavior, no matter how secretive he thinks he is, he can't hide it from the eyes and ears of those who are interested.The eldest young master is on the go all the year round, and the young wife is lonely in spring, and the second young master is in your hands. How can everyone in the house know about this matter?The servants around the Young Madam have already seen the way. If it wasn't for the old servant who strictly ordered them to keep quiet, the Second Young Master would still be as happy as he is today?He was killed by the old man long ago.

He shook his head repeatedly as he spoke, and said to himself: Speaking of which, with the second young master's character, appearance, family background and knowledge, what kind of woman can't be obtained?The old slave did not expect that the second young master was so courageous that even the eldest young wife would give him a hand. Ding Chengye blushed, and argued forcefully: That's different, the Lu family is just a woman, but he and I are brothers Halfway through the speech, he also felt shameless, so he shut up embarrassingly, Yan Jiu pressed on step by step, and said: Get rid of him!You can get the position of head of the family, and that servant will never be able to climb over your head to do his best.And that sweet-hearted, charming and affectionate eldest young lady is in your pocket from now on, even if you openly bring her into your room, who would dare to say more?Second Young Master, his Eldest Young Master can sacrifice and deprive you of what you deserve under the guise of being for the Ding family. This is because of his inhumanity, and you still care about brotherhood?Whether it is to prevent the Ding family from falling into the hands of servants, or to protect yourself, Second Young Master, you should make up your mind.

Ding Chengye's face was blue and white for a while, and he raised his head after a while, his eyes were a little crazy and he said: "What should I do, do it now?" Yan Jiu was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Not now, the time has not yet come."As long as the second young master has made up his mind, it will be fine. Please leave everything to Jiu'er to arrange. For the young lady, the second young master has to persuade her. Ding Chengye said distraughtly: She doesn't have to worry about it, forgive her for not being able to refuse.If this young master is unlucky, he won't let her live a good life!

That being the case, the old slave is relieved, but it's better to coax him as much as possible. Ding Chengye snorted sullenly: Do you still use you to teach me this method? Yes, yes, Yan Jiu said with a smile: The old slave is now making arrangements. The two deliberated for a long while before Yan Jiu bid farewell and left, pushed open the door, a breath of fresh air rushed in, the rain had stopped, but the rain was still dripping under the eaves, and the branches hung like dew, blowing towards the face It's fresh air, the sky is clear, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and the sun is about to set. Yan Jiu smiled coldly, glanced at the rainbow hanging in the sky, the rainbow was reflected in his eyes, revealing a gloomy and treacherous brilliance When Ding Hao returned to his residence, Xun Zhu'er had already left, and Mrs. Yang kept asking him about the banquet, how the young master treated him, whether he ate well, and brought the tea he had brewed.Ding Hao answered indiscriminately, and seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Yang went back to the dining room to do some work. Ding Hao lay on the kang, thinking over Ding Chengzong's words. The conditions offered by Ding Chengzong are really tempting. To be honest, Ding Hao was not even a bastard at first, he had no name, no status, and nothing. As for how he was neglected since he was a child, now Ding Hao has no empathy and no feeling.It's just that after he inherited this identity and the original memory, he felt contempt for Ding Tingxun's hypocrisy and indifference. If he wanted to leave Ding's mansion to venture around, his goal was not to depend on others, but to have something he could master, so that he could live a life of ease.He didn't even think that one day he would own such a huge family business as Ding Tingxun's now.Now someone offers this ready-made property and asks him to be the master of the house, how can he not be moved?Moreover, Ding Chengzong's entrustment and respect moved him very much. However, Ding Tingxun's emotions and anger were not visible, even though he showed his tone a little now, he still couldn't understand what he wanted, how could he rashly agree?And that Ding Chengye, he is willing to give up? go, or stay?Ding Hao was overwhelmed by this question over and over again.Looking at the sky at this time, the crescent moon has already risen, Ding Hao remembered the agreement with Luo Donger, he couldn't help but groan, he quickly got up and took a sip of herbal tea, then picked up a few things, walked around the main house to the warehouse in the backyard of the Ding family . In the backyard, Luo Dong'er was standing under a gardenia tree, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the sky was shining brightly. A tree of gardenias was blooming, and under the tree was a beautiful woman, whose figure was as slim as a crescent moon in the sky, and her feet were as beautiful as a painting. When Ding Hao saw her, he immediately slowed down his steps, intentionally walked aside, and slowly approached behind her, coughed narrowly, and asked in an old voice: Miss Dong, what are you doing here? ah!Luo Dong'er was startled, and quickly raised her face to look at the fragrant gardenia above her head, and said: "This flower tree is very beautiful, I smell its fragrance, what are you?" Luo Dong'er turned her head and saw Ding Hao smiling towards her, she couldn't help raising her mouth and said: You're playing tricks on him again. Ding Hao laughed and said: How can I have it.Ah, this flower tree is very beautiful, I sniffed its fragrance, haha, my little Dong'er didn't even blink when she lied. You, Luo Dong'er blushed and glared at him, but unfortunately her pair of handsome almond eyes were harmless.Ding Hao looked around, bent forward, hugged her legs, and said, "Come on, I'll hug you and pick gardenias off." Oh, Luo Dong'er screamed, thumped him on the shoulder and said: "No way, let me down quickly, don't let anyone see me, I won't be able to behave like a human anymore." Ding Hao hugged her round and strong thighs tightly, put his face on the flat and soft lower abdomen, took the opportunity to eat tofu, and said: You can quickly break a branch and get it off. Luo Dong'er was afraid, so she quickly picked a gardenia and said, "Okay, okay, let me down quickly." Ding Hao put her down, slid down his body against his arm, and took the opportunity to touch her upright and elastic buttocks with his big hand. Luo Donger blushed and lifted up the flower, and gently twitched it on his shoulder, the beauty under the moon , bright eyes and bright teeth, that soft and charming style is really infinitely lingering. Seeing her charming appearance, Ding Hao felt tenderness in his heart, he gently took Dong'er's hand, and said softly: "Let's go, let's talk in another place." The two of them entered the grain warehouse, and under the light of the moonlight, they climbed up the long ladder to the top and sat on the piles of grain.In the south, rice is called a valley, while in the north, corn is called a valley.Corn is also millet. The rice grains are extremely small, only one-sixth the size of rice. The grains are round and golden in color. It is the main crop in the Yellow River Basin in the north.Now the grains are piled up like a mountain, just like the continuous sand dunes. Sitting on the grain pile, the two of them are like sitting on a desert of fine-grained yellow sand. The window above her head is open, sitting here, she can just see a round crescent moon in the sky, and the gentle moonlight shines on her face, as pale as jade.There is an ancient and stale atmosphere around, flowing together with the cold moonlight, making people feel like they have forgotten the hustle and bustle. Ding Hao gently embraced her slender waist, and Luo Dong'er leaned meekly in his arms, playing with the millet under her buttocks with her small hands, grabbed a handful, and let it fall leisurely under the moonlight like time.The two quietly enjoyed this feeling of mutual dependence for a while, Luo Dong'er raised her face, and asked charmingly: Brother Hao, when will things in the city be settled? Ding Hao patted her cheek, and said: I am also waiting for the news, the news should come back tomorrow.If I have the news I want, then I will go to the city after the holiday, and the matter will be settled soon. He was silent for a moment, and then said: Nothing will go wrong, it will definitely be done! Luo Dong'er straightened up suddenly, her eyes gleaming like a pair of black gemstones: Brother Hao, you go to the city to settle accounts, and everyone in the village says that you are trying to save the Ding family from trouble, and they all praise you as the Ding family. The most capable person in Zhuang, what trick did you use?Someone said, have you ever learned magic from a fox fairy? Ding Hao laughed and said: Let others talk nonsense, I don't want you to think that I know something magical.In fact, I still rely on you to remind me of this method. I?When did I help you think of a way?Luo Donger opened her eyes wide in surprise. Ding Hao held her in his arms again, and gently rubbed her soft and fragrant hair. She had bathed after returning home, and she should have also used the chrysanthemum orchid soup to bathe, so her skin was not only as smooth as jade, but also with Nice grassy aroma. Do you still remember that last time in this warehouse, you told about Liu Shishi's treacherous plot, he wanted to put us to death, and he couldn't justify himself, and he couldn't accuse him of his adultery?When I heard what you said, it suddenly occurred to me that I could do the same thing to make Xu Muchen suffer too. Luo Donger was surprised and said: What are you going to do?Also bound him to mean that he was in harmony with others?Luo Dong'er was really embarrassed to say that treacherous word, so she dragged it over. Ding Hao shook his head and said: No.In the end, of course, killing two birds with one stone like Liu Shiyi would be perfect.The method cannot be the same.He raised his head, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and said softly: In the past, there was a country where the emperor had many sons, and he liked the fourteenth son the most, so he wrote the will in advance, specifying that the fourteenth son would be his son. The son inherits the throne.However, when he announced his will after his death, it was his fourth son who became emperor. Do you know why? Luo Dong'er rolled her eyes and said, "Then the fourth prince used troops to force the palace?" Ding Hao shook his head, and Luo Dong'er asked again: He bribed several ministers who proclaimed the imperial edict, and he insisted that a deer is a horse? Ding Hao smiled and shook his head, Luo Dong'er said coquettishly: "What do you mean, he is so stupid, how can he think of it." Ding Hao said with a smile: The old emperor wrote in the posthumous edict that he was the fourteenth prince, but a minister who had served the fourth prince stole the edict on the first day when the edict was promulgated, and added a cross on the top and a cross on the bottom. Added a tick, and it became the legend of the fourth prince. Luo Dong'er was surprised and said: "Is this possible?"Oh, the old emperor is so confused, the imperial decree is so simple? Ding Hao scratched her lovely nose, and said: Of course it's not that simple, you haven't seen the imperial decree, actually I haven't seen it either, but I've heard people say that when the imperial decree mentions the prince, the word "imperial" is used. It is placed in the front. It can only be said that the fourth son of the emperor, the fourteenth son of the emperor, will not be called the fourth prince and the fourteenth prince upside down, and the important purpose of inheriting the great treasure, even their names should be written on it. How to change it?Also, the imperial decree of that country, in addition to using the language of the Han people in the Central Plains, also uses another language, so that it cannot be tampered with even if there is great ability. It's just that the fourth prince treated the scholars badly after he became the emperor, so the scholars thought of this method to ruin his reputation.Knowing how the imperial decree is written, one naturally does not believe it, but most of the people in the world do not know it, so naturally he will be notorious.Although this story is false, this method of adding words to usurp meaning is really feasible. The literati have played this kind of word games before they thought of using this method to put shit on the emperor's head. Luo Donger asked nervously: Then you also used the method of adding calligraphy and painting?Can't you see the flaws in the handwriting? Ding Hao laughed and said: "That's the account book. If I want to add calligraphy and painting, how many calligraphy and painting do I have to add?"Besides, your brother Hao's handwriting is very ugly, as long as you add a stroke, people will definitely find out.Me, it’s just reverse thinking that doesn’t understand?oh!Just draw inferences from one instance, you Hao brother infers other cases from one instance, and then came up with a way to reduce the word
