Chapter 15 Chapter 43 Planning

Early the next morning, Ding Yuluo drove around, and according to Ding Hao's arrangement, he went to visit the military and government officials and subordinates of Guangyuan who the Ding family had befriended over the years, and Ding Hao also took the shameless pig Xue Liang to Guangyuan Street. In Guangyuan City, Ding Hao specially inquired about the skilled craftsmen in the city, and when he found out, he visited them.Winter is a season of leisure, and these craftsmen don't have too many things at hand. Even if they have some things at hand, Ding Hao promises to make great profits, and these craftsmen will all agree to do so. After receiving the deposit one by one, they pack up their tools and rush to Xicheng Ding by themselves. Report to the camp where the food team is currently stationed.

Sao Zhuer followed Ding Hao, seeing him busy looking for carpenters, blacksmiths, cobblers, painters, and paper makers, he couldn't hold back his doubts, so he couldn't help asking Ding Hao, Ding Hao laughed and said: It's not clear, but when they make something, you will know it at a glance.In the future, these craftsmen have all gone to the camp. I will set aside a separate space for them to use, and I will let you watch at that time. Before the birthday of General Guangyuan's mother, these craftsmen are not allowed to leave, nor are they allowed to enter alone. Sao Zhu'er asked in a naive voice: "It's easy not to allow anyone to come out. They took money from our young lady."But no one is allowed to go in, are you and the young lady not allowed to go in?Are Guanshi Liu and Chief Yang not allowed to go in?

Ding Hao scolded with a smile: Don't pretend to be stupid with me, the eldest lady and I are naturally allowed to enter, except for the two of us, no one else is allowed to enter, no one is allowed.If they have any dissatisfaction, you just push it on the young lady.At that time, I will find a few more reliable people to listen to you. Sao Zhu'er cheered up and said: Haha, since the eldest lady will take care of everything, then it's okay, you can leave this matter to me, but what are you looking for these craftsmen for, do you want to make a sledge again? Ding Hao glared at him angrily. Just as he was about to speak, someone in front suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block my master's way."

Ding Hao raised his head and saw that the person calling was Yang Jincheng, the head arrester of Guangyuan Mansion. There were a few yamen servants in front of him and behind him, and behind him was a sedan chair with its curtain rolled up. The robed fur cloak wraps the body tightly, and the ferret fur hat is on the head. They are pointing and talking and laughing. One of them is Xu Fengqing, the prefect of Guangyuan. Thinking about Mr. Xu's trip today, he was not patrolling the city for office work, so he didn't use the flag guard of honor, and the car drove slowly, but his servants still inevitably had to pretend to be powerful.

Yang Jincheng was yelling, and when he looked up and saw Ding Hao, there was a kind smile on his fleshy face. If Ding Hao hadn't caught that human trafficker, their brothers who eat Gongmen food might still be eating boards today. As if nothing had happened, but fortunately, Mr. Xu gave each of them fifty cash for their hard work. This was all thanks to Ding Hao. He smiled and nodded to Ding Hao as a gesture, then turned his head and yelled at a jujube peddler: Don't you have eyes, you still want to wander around, carefully tear down your car. The jujube dealer pushing the trolley hurriedly dodged to the side, but Catcher Yang walked up to Ding Hao, clasped his hands and said, "Brother Hao, you're busy."

Ding Hao stepped forward with a smile, and said politely: Yes, there are some things to do.Catcher Yang, who is the magistrate traveling with? Yang Jincheng glanced back, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: I heard that he is a famous scholar from the Central Plains, who had a classmate friendship with our master when he was studying.This man is very arrogant, his two eyes have grown to the sky. This time he was traveling in the north, and our master heard about it and sent someone to invite him to Guangyuan. Ding Hao groaned, his mind is now full of sketches drawn by himself, originally he just asked casually, and when he heard that it was some shit celebrity who had nothing to do with the livelihood of ordinary people like him, he didn't take it to heart, so he asked He cupped his hands and said with a smile: That's how it is, Catcher Yang, you are busy, and Xiaomin won't bother you anymore.

Catcher Yang smiled, bowed his hands to him, and was about to move forward, when Xu Zhifu in the car saw Ding Hao, he kicked the barrier quickly, the carriage stopped, Xu Zhifu leaned slightly, stuck his head out, and smiled at him: : Ding Hao. Ding Hao hastily stepped forward and saluted: "Master Zhifu." Prefect Xu stroked his beard and smiled: Hehe, there is no need to be formal, where are you going? Ding Hao answered honestly: I heard that the old lady of the Cheng family's birthday is approaching, and Xiaomin was ordered by the patriarch to buy some gifts to show the patriarch's wishes.

oh?Xu Zhifu's eyes flashed, and the smile on his face became stronger: "Then go and get busy, I hit it off with you right away, but it's a pity that we have been in a hurry twice and three times, and there is always no chance to talk."Hehe, Mrs. Cheng's birthday, I'm going to go too, see you and me then. Yes, Xiaomin also hopes to have the opportunity to listen to Master Fuzun for advice, Master Fuzun walks slowly, and Xiaomin sends him off respectfully.Ding Hao calmly retreated to the side, bowed to see him off, and was courteous. Prefect Xu kicked the baffle, glanced at Ding Hao, nodded and smiled.

The car started, and the long-bearded old man sitting next to Xu Fengqing sneered, calling Xu Zhifu's words: "Brother Xu Shui, you are the majesty of the whole family. If you meet a commoner on the road, you have to stop to greet him. Don't be afraid." Folded his own identity. Xu Fengqing laughed and said: "Brother Renjia, my younger brother's official duties can't compare to your celebrity, you are so relaxed."The magistrate of Guangyuan is not the same as the officials in the Central Plains. My younger brother is an official here, it is like walking on thin ice.Although this Ding Hao is a grassroots person, one day he may be someone who can be used by General Cheng's side. The younger brother will hand over every detail, so why not?

Lu Renjia, a famous scholar from the Central Plains, said disdainfully: "Xu Shui, the sharpness of your youth has been tempered by this officialdom and has completely disappeared."A Cheng Shixiong makes you so uneasy, seeing you for my brother is just sad for you. Xu Fengqing looked a little embarrassed, but Lu Renjia turned a blind eye, smiled sarcastically, and said proudly: "Then what is Cheng Shixiong?"It's just a house slave in Du Chongwei's mansion in the former Jin Dynasty. You read the books of sages and sages, and you worked hard for ten years. You have to work hard to get two Jinshi, but you have to look up to him?snort!Xu Shui, wait and see, when the imperial court solves the troubles of the Southern Han Dynasty and the south of the Yangtze River, these feudal towns will be eradicated one by one, and the country will be unified.

Xu Fengqing's face immediately changed color when he heard this, this Lu Renjia is so old, why is he still talking about it without knowing the seriousness!Such a character has to be romantic with his pen and ink, his lips and teeth are vertical and horizontal, his hands are high and his eyes are low, and it is difficult to become a master.This time he was invited to celebrate Cheng's birthday by taking advantage of his fame, but now it seems that he is right or wrong, so don't let him cause any trouble. Xu Fengqing was secretly annoyed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Renjia, where did you start talking about this?"Regardless of whether it is literary or military, everyone is working hard for the court and seeking the well-being of the people.The younger brother is the magistrate of Guangyuan, and shepherds one side. He is in harmony with General Cheng in civil and military affairs and supports each other. Boss Lu Renjia was displeased, stared and said: You Xu Fengqing hurriedly put down the sedan chair curtain, and said with a dry smile: "Okay, I'll be there soon. The younger brother has ordered the mansion to prepare a banquet. After a while, I will have a long talk with Brother Renjia." Watching the prefect Xu's car drive away, a person next to a fur stall by the road said in a low voice: What a rare opportunity, why don't we do it? There were three people squatting in front of the leather goods stall, all wearing bulky sheepskin jackets and dog fur hats with ears covered. They couldn't even tell if they were men or women, but the slightly thinner man squatting in the middle was pretending to pick out those cheap ones. The leather goods said in a low voice: What's the use of killing him, Xu Fengqing is in Guangyuan, that's the ear of the deaf, display!Only by killing Cheng Shixiong can we achieve our goal. Listening to the voice is a woman's voice, and not very old. She raised her head and glanced at Ding Hao's back. Her face was covered with a face scarf that northerners often wear to protect themselves from the cold wind. Only a pair of eyes were exposed. The thick black eyebrows and charming eyes gave a sense of surprise. . With just a glance, she lowered her head again, and ordered softly: We have just arrived in Guangyuan, so it is very difficult to find out Cheng Shixiong's whereabouts as soon as possible. Besides, he is a dignified general of Guangyuan, and all the iron guards around him are highly skilled and alert. Even if he came here with the intention of dying, he might not have a chance to make a move.Time is running out, and we don't allow us to plan it calmly. Just now that person surnamed Ding said that Cheng Shixiong's mother's birthday is coming soon, maybe it is an opportunity. You should go and find out right away, maybe we can start from this aspect. Another person praised and said: Yes, no matter how vigilant and careful he is, in his own home, and when his mother's birthday is gathered, he must have relaxed his guard. This is a good opportunity for us to strike.The problem is that the ones who can get the invitation from the Cheng family must be officials and gentry from the Guangyuan mansion. How do we get into the Cheng mansion? The sound of gongs and cymbals interrupted the discussion of the three people. When the three looked up, they saw three large carts with colored flags on them. Dozens of people surrounded the carts. Turning a few neat hollow somersaults on the snow attracted the applause of passers-by. Behind a few people who were somersaulting like monkeys, a big fat man was naked to the waist, his fat body trembling. He was holding a three-foot-high flag with one hand, and there was a line on the flag. Large characters: Wu Jiale Shed, Cheng Fu celebrates his birthday! Seeing those tricksters from the Washer Music Shed approaching, the three of them hurriedly lowered their heads again.
