Chapter 11 Chapter Thirty-Nine

After Ding Hao finished speaking, everyone subconsciously looked at the other victim, Tang Yanyan. Tang Yanyan looked hesitant, as if he also believed it. Mrs. Cheng gently shook the grandson in her arms, and said slowly: Brother Hao does good deeds, and the Buddha also blesses him. If it weren't for the shout from the next door, it would have been a bloody disaster.Let's talk about our Cheng's family, which is also a family of good people, so it has neither broken the fortune nor let the eldest girl be taken advantage of by others. Xu Zhifu was stunned, and then nodded like a chicken pecking rice: er, yes, yes, what the old lady said makes sense, very makes sense.

Mrs. Cheng doesn't understand the truth, but she understands the truth that even the Buddha will not tolerate the retribution of kindness and hatred.She dismissed it so lightly, obviously to excuse Ding Hao, Xu Zhifu could see it, and Madam Cheng could also see it, after all, she cared about her natal family, even though she knew that her mother-in-law wanted to excuse Ding Hao, she still asked Tang Yanyan : Yan'er, is what he said the truth? Although Tang Yanyan is unruly and capricious, she is not a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. Ding Hao's words are reasonable. She knows that there is a thief, and it sounds even more flawless, so she hesitates: "My niece saw that he ran into the house. When I shouted in surprise and anger, my guards did encounter a thief

When Tang Yanyan said that, Mrs. Cheng couldn't stand up for her anymore, so Magistrate Xu hit the snake with a stick, laughed and said: "In this way, it's all a misunderstanding.Ding Hao, if you hadn't fought with that thief, not only would Miss Tang's belongings have been lost, but the thief might have spied on Miss Tang in the bath and flaunted it to others. Wouldn't it also damage Miss Tang's reputation?In this way, not only are you innocent, but you have merit.Miss Tang is a lady of every family, reasonable, gentle and virtuous, how can I blame you? Between Miss Tang and Mrs. Cheng, the magistrate Xu obviously chose to curry favor with Mrs. Cheng.General Cheng Shixiong has been sitting there, like a clay sculpture, don't look like he is like a dragon or a tiger outside, once he returns home, as long as his wife and wife disagree, he usually has this kind of virtue.

Mrs. Cheng saw that the magistrate Xu was so knowledgeable, but her son was pretending to be stupid, so she couldn't help giving him an annoyed look.General Cheng was stared at by his wife, and suddenly came back to life, and hurriedly joined in with a loud voice: Yes, yes, Yanyan, I see you scare people.Brother Ding is a brave and sincere man, how could he do such nasty things? It was just a misunderstanding. In my opinion, the two of you will get back together. Mrs. Cheng said angrily: "Look at your broken mouth, don't drop your book bag if you haven't read the book, what is getting back together is to settle the old suspicion."

General Cheng slapped his forehead and said with a sneer: "Yes, yes, yes, in my opinion, you have settled your suspicions."Mother, do you think it's okay for your son to deal with it like this? Mrs. Cheng snorted, General Cheng rubbed his hands when he saw that his mother was silent, and said with a dry smile: Mother, you see that the rich and noble are fast asleep, don’t catch the cold here, your old man and wife, and Yanyan can go back and rest. As for Mr. Ding En, he will repay him soon. In front of Mrs. Cheng, she only used the treasure of the Cheng family, Cheng Fugui, to talk about things. The old lady stood up after hearing this, and Mrs. Cheng and Tang Yanyan hurriedly supported her. He, Mrs. Cheng said: Brother Hao, today's incident is really all thanks to you.The Cheng family is not ignorant of kindness, righteousness and etiquette. My son will definitely repay you well. The old lady is tired, so she went back to rest.

Ding Hao and Xu Zhifu hurriedly left their seats to salute: Sending off the old lady respectfully. Tang Yanyan glared at Ding Hao unwillingly, and helped the old lady walk behind the screen, Ding Hao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.After the old lady and her party left, Cheng Shixiong let Zhifu Xu and Ding Hao sit down again, and said loudly: "Come here, take a hundred taels of gold and give it to this benefactor." When Ding Hao heard this, he quickly stood up, and politely refused: "Taiwei, don't do this. When Xiaomin rescued Young Master Ling, he didn't know his origin and background. He blocked the way to save others, just for peace of mind, and didn't want to reward him in return. The Taiwei gave him gold." One hundred taels, this gift is really too heavy.

Xu Zhifu laughed and said: General Cheng is the lord of Guangyuan, he has a lot of money, a mere hundred taels of gold, he doesn't take it seriously.Now, General Cheng is grateful for your kindness in saving his son, and he will give you a hundred gold. If you two stand up for justice and repay your kindness, it is considered a good deed in the world. I don't think you can refuse. Guangyuan is still the political bureau of the feudal town now. Cheng Shixiong is in Guangyuan to manage the army, dismounts and manages the people. He controls all taxes, taxes and service. One hundred taels of gold is really nothing to him, but Ding Hao is stern and earnest, but he is firm. willing to accept.

Ding Hao's behavior is not hypocritical, he is not a strict gentleman, this money is a drop in the bucket for General Cheng, but it is a fortune for him, so why not take him as a reward ?Ding Hao refused to accept it because he didn't want to end this opportunity that he might never meet again. One hundred taels of gold can be exchanged for nine hundred guan, and nine hundred guan can allow him to move out of Ding's house, buy a house, buy two acres of land, and if he does some odd jobs, he can barely survive and change his situation , his status, his life?As the saying goes, it is better to teach someone to fish than to receive it. A hundred taels of gold is a fish, and General Cheng is a fisherman.Can't he tell which is more important?

You know, favors will be repaid one day, and he would not wish to think that with this credit, he can climb the big tree of the Cheng family and rise to the top.One hundred taels of gold is wealth for a while, but what he wants is prosperity for a lifetime.This glory must be earned with his own hands, but he needs an opportunity, a connection, and golden scales to transform into a dragon. He also needs the help of wind and cloud, right? Cheng Shixiong only thought of him as an ordinary citizen, and never took him seriously. Now that he was able to save people with righteousness, but also saw benefits without confusion, he looked at him differently. He took a closer look at Ding Hao, and saw that he was calm and sophisticated. , with a shrewd look in his eyes, he said, "You don't receive a gift from this general, but how can I thank you?"Well, what errand do you have in Guangyuan?If you haven't found any errand yet, you can stay with this general, what do you think?

Hearing Cheng Shixiong's words, Ding Hao's heart was agitated, and he was about to blurt out the sentence of wishing to be arranged by the Taiwei, but when he got to the point of his mouth, he was suddenly vigilant and swallowed the sentence back hastily. Really carried away!This was a thousand years ago. I had to do as the Romans do, adapt to the environment here, and act according to the cognition and philosophy of people in this era. Job hopping, especially in the current situation, is a taboo in dealing with people. This General Cheng is filial to his mother at home. In the army, he can be reused by the Zhe family, and he can rest assured that the important town of Guangyuan and tens of thousands of soldiers will be handed over to him. He must also be a loyal general.A person who values ​​filial piety and knows loyalty, if I agree to stay here, what should I say when he asks about my background?When the Ding family was in trouble, I, the steward, deserted and fled, Xinxin ran to the top alone?General Cheng didn't say anything, but he must have disgust and contempt in his heart.Then even if I stay by his side, how can I gain his appreciation and trust with such stains.

Thinking of this, Ding Hao said: "Thank you Taiwei for your favor, Xiaomin is very grateful."But Xiaomin is working as a deacon in a family's house, and he has some things to do when he comes to Guangyuan with his master.Xiaomin dared not promise without the permission of his boss. oh!Cheng Shixiong was finally moved after hearing these words, he took a deep look at Ding Hao, his eyes showed respect, and his face was full of approving smiles: Good!This is a man who has responsibility and knows loyalty. What I respect most is a hero who is unparalleled in loyalty. If this is the case, I will not force you.If you come to Guangyuan in the future, if you have any intractable matters, just come here to find me, the gate of Cheng Mansion will always be open to you. Thank you Taiwei for your love!Ding Hao got up and bowed happily, he knew that this treasure was right.Leaving this kind of grace is a way, and when he is cornered, this is his future.
