Chapter 30 Chapter 58 You're Done

When Ding Hao left Cheng's mansion, Ding Yuluo's carriage was waiting at the door. General Cheng was assassinated. At this time, the streets were full of soldiers, hunting for the murderer, and the atmosphere was very tense.Ding Yuluo had a lot to ask him, but it was inconvenient to stay for a long time under such circumstances, so when he saw him arriving, he ordered to return to the camp immediately. Steward Ding is still playing the big whip, sitting on the shaft of the carriage with Xao Zhuer, the carriage is galloping, and the bluestone ground is stunned. On his shoulder, he said with a smile: Hey, your boy is blessed and fateful, the assassin who dared to kill Taiwei Cheng let you go.

Ding Hao smiled, waved his whip and said, "Yes, how could people care about such a small person like me. Sao Zhu'er said disapprovingly: No matter how big or small, you can only be a person when you are alive. If you die, no matter how big or small, you will be three feet of loess?It's better to live than to die.But it's a pity, you were dizzy at the time and didn't see a good show, that's really tsk tsk tsk The shy pig gulped down his saliva, Ding Hao saw it funny, knowing that what he was talking about must be a story about running naked with a bowl of jade, so he asked knowingly: What's the fun?

Sao Zhu'er widened his eyes and said: You don't know?Oh, that's right, Cheng Taiwei took you away as soon as you woke up, of course you don't know. He glanced back at the carriage and saw that the eldest lady's car curtain was tightly covered, so he leaned towards Ding Hao, beaming with joy and mysteriously, and said: Hey, let me tell you, I'm watching a big show on the porch, a bowl of jade and that The little girl suddenly ran onto the stage, she was naked. oh? Hey, let me tell you, don't believe me.It’s really bare buttocks, I saw that the eyeballs almost didn’t fall out, that one, tsk tsk tsk is white and round, that one, tsk tsk tsk is round and white, my mother is so greedy.

Ding Hao couldn't help laughing, and Sao Zhuer gave him a dissatisfied look: I'm telling you the truth here, don't be joking.Then he looked ahead and murmured to himself: This is the first time I saw it, those eyes are not enough to see, I will beg my wife in the future, if I also have a body like a bowl of jade, it will really kill her belly I am happy Ding Hao laughed, and said, "You bastard, you're embarrassing again, it's alright, it's alright, be careful to let the young miss hear you." Well, I know, I know.Sao Zhuer smacked his lips, his voice became quieter again, and in a voice that only he could hear, he muttered to himself with endless aftertaste: My mother, that, that ass, I am so hungry

In Sao Zhuer's infinite reverie, the carriage drove back to the camp.After entering the dilapidated gate, Ding Hao and Xun Zhuer parked the carriage, put down the pedals, Ding Yu signed the money and got out of the carriage, a pair of bright eyes turned slightly on Ding Hao's face, and said softly: Dumb, come with me. Sao Zhuer was about to untie the mules and horses, he stopped his hands when he heard this, and glanced at Miss Ding's back, he leaned in front of Ding Hao and said: "What does Missy want from you?" Ding Hao smiled and said: Probably the eldest lady is also a little curious about those assassins.I'm going to see the lady, you unload the car and go back to rest first.

Ai!Xun Zhuer responded, and Ding Hao chased after Ding Yuluo, Xun Zhuer watched the two go away, and kept staring at Ding Yuluo's beautiful figure. The eldest lady has a pretty waist and long legs. He always thought it was very good-looking, but he didn't feel anything else. But today, seeing a bowl of jade gave this young brother in his twenties a big shock. When looking at the eldest lady, there was a strange feeling, as if there was something inexplicable in the bottom of my heart, which made people stand impatiently, but I couldn't explain the reason. At that time, the popularization of physiological knowledge was completely out of the question, and no one would tell Sao Zhuer about this knowledge. I heard people talk about women before, and they only mentioned superficial appearances. A layman who knows nothing, but that kind of instinct does not fall asleep because of ignorance. He looked at Miss Ding's back in a daze, and murmured: How beautiful would Miss Ding be if she took off like that bowl of jade?

Snapped!He gave himself a slap in the face, and cursed in a low voice: No one dares to miss you, be careful to strike a thunderbolt, and let the old man slap you, a shameful pig, it's really not a thing! Ding Hao followed Ding Yu into her room. Ding Yu sat down in front of the kang and looked at Ding Hao fixedly. Ding Hao looked calm and met her calmly.After a long time, Ding Yuluo suddenly said: Dumb, I have some questions, I hope you will answer me truthfully and don't hide anything. Ding Hao said: Miss, you don't have to ask me, I don't have an answer.In fact, I don't know what's going on.It was just a cold and fever a year ago that almost killed me.After being groggy for a few days, when I woke up again, I felt that my heart was bright, and no matter what I said or did, I was a little different from before.I find it a little weird myself, but to be honest, I don't know what it is all about.

Before Ding Yuluo asked, Ding Hao said it first, which made Ding Yuluo stunned for a while. Ding Yuluo smiled wryly, and laughed at himself: I should know, it is impossible to have any answer , but I couldn't hold back my curiosity.Forget it, this kind of change is only good for you, not bad, and there is no need to investigate its cause. There are many things in the world that we don’t understand. She stood up, walked around the room for a while, and asked: "The gift we gave today is very pleasing to the old lady. At the banquet, that Mr. Lu came to make fun of him again, and it made you and me perfect. Now Cheng The whole family is very polite to us, do you think, can the Ding family's right to monopolize grain and grass be kept this time?

Ding Hao thought for a while, and said: Whether General Fuzhou Zhe will agree to expand the granary in Guangfu is not up to us, nor is it up to General Cheng.In my opinion, as long as the expansion of the official warehouse in Guangyuan is not approved, the Ding family will not be able to continue to monopolize the privilege of Guangyuan's grain and grass management. If the expansion of the official warehouse can be achieved, the Ding family is absolutely sure to continue to have the right to operate exclusively.But we must plan ahead and prepare for the proposal to expand the official warehouse not to be approved. If that is the case, then we can also take the lead and strive for the largest share of supply.General Cheng's anger has been extinguished, so relying on the connections established by the Ding family over the past 20 years, it is enough to ensure that the Ding family will continue to be the number one grain merchant in Guangyuan's grain supply.

Ding Yuluo nodded, she paced the room for a while, her mood gradually became irritable, and suddenly she punched her fist and said: Dumb, I really can't wait.I'm going to meet a few reliable officials right now, let them strike while the iron is hot, and speak up again, what do you think? Ding Hao didn't answer for a while, Ding Yuluo turned around in surprise, and saw Ding Hao looking at her with strange eyes, they looked at each other for a long time, Ding Yuluo bowed her head shyly, and said coyly: I am too impatient. Ding Hao sighed, and said with a wry smile: General Cheng was assassinated just now, so it's really not appropriate to let those officials come in and build an official position at this time.

you're right.Ding Yuluo said embarrassingly: Before, I always thought that if I was a man, I would be more than enough to take care of the housework for my father. Who knows that I am not as good as you. Ding Hao smiled and said: You just care about it and you are in chaos. Now it seems that we have to live in Guangyuan for a few more days.Be patient, we have done our best, and now we must wait and see what happens, and find an opportunity before we can make plans. For the next few days, Ding Yuluo put aside his family affairs for the time being, and only occasionally visited a few officials to find out what was going on in the General's Mansion. Ding Hao also went to the city from time to time to find out some news through his channel. All kinds of news are flying in the city these days. Some say that the assassins were sent by the officials of the Song Dynasty. The officials want to destroy the feudal towns and gather all the military power in the imperial court. See. Others said that the assassins were Khitans from the north, and that General Cheng sent Qingqi out of the city on the day he was assassinated to search for rivers, valleys and mountains within a radius of eighty miles to the north. In the middle of the encounter, the two sides fought a bloody battle, causing heavy casualties to each other. Some people also mentioned the Northern Han Dynasty and the Dangxiang Qiang people in the Western Regions, but all kinds of news are inconsistent.Ding Hao didn't go to Cheng's mansion to inquire about this kind of military affairs. He is a steward of a gentry's family, not an official of the court. What reason does he have to rush to inquire? Two days later, Ding Yuluo suddenly brought back good news that Fuzhou had agreed to expand the official warehouse in Guangyuan.Ding Hao was very excited when he heard that, and immediately accompanied Ding Yuluo to visit Cheng's mansion again. He went straight to the point, one was to plead guilty, and the other was to request to maintain the grain sales agreement signed between Ding's family and the former general of Guangyuan, and to exclusively undertake the grain supply business of Guangyuan City. If Guangyuan's official warehouses are fully used, there will be no food shortage in the whole city due to a delay in the food team. In this case, with the deep friendship formed by Ding Hao and the Cheng family, how could Cheng Shixiong take their face off.The important matter that Ding Yuluo has been worrying about has been decided, but Cheng Shixiong asked them to bring all the grain needed for the expansion of the official warehouse in Guangyuan before May. The Ding family can't afford such a large amount of grain supply by themselves. They still need to repurchase from other grain merchants and then transport it in a centralized manner. That's why Cheng Shixiong set the date in May. With such ample time, the Ding family can manage grain Rice's basic network of decades is enough to complete it on time. Ding Hao's residence is near the West Camp of the Guangyuan Army. Usually, the soldiers in the camp can be seen practicing every day. Recently, the drills in the camp have become more and more frequent, and the army frequently enters and exits. It is completely different from the daily drills. Ding Hao saw it in his eyes and guessed it in his heart. They must have revenge for the assassination of the Khitan people, but they just pretended not to know. They are just ordinary people, and their livelihood matters have already come to fruition, and they are about to prepare for their return journey.With General Cheng's approval, Ding Yuluo was overjoyed. As soon as he left Cheng's mansion, he immediately rushed to meet with several Guangyuan officials to discuss some specific matters. Ding Hao thought that he was going back to Bazhou soon, so he recommended himself to Miss Ding on a whim, but he didn't have time to tell his mother that this kind woman might be worried about him at home, but now he is going back, and he has money in his pocket No matter what, I wanted to buy some gifts for my mother to express my feelings, so I asked Ding Yuluo for leave, and San Zhuer drove her off, and went to the street to buy things by myself. Guangyuan is the place where the Han people in the Central Plains meet the nomadic peoples outside the Great Wall. The prices of silk and cloth in the Central Plains are much more expensive here than in the interior, but fur and mink fur are much cheaper than in the interior.Naturally, it is impossible for Yang to wear fur clothes, but it is not bad to buy a few high-quality leather jackets and leather trousers. Ding Hao wandered around the market for a long time, and chose a set of lambskin jacket and trousers.Because the weather is getting warmer, the price of leather goods that are already cheap is more likely to be reduced. Under such circumstances, the old man of the Qiang nationality who came from outside the pass did not speak the original dialect very smoothly, and Ding Hao, a master who can bargain After debating plausibly for a long time, I finally sold him two sets at the price of vomiting blood. Ding Hao smiled and rolled up the two sets of soft and comfortable lambskin jackets under his ribs. When he went to the jewelry store, he bought a simple and natural silver hairpin for his old lady. When he was about to return to the camp, he suddenly found a A young girl stood in front of the booth, holding a skeleton carved from a cow bone and looking at it curiously. Ding Hao's eyes lit up immediately, and he said happily: "Miss Zhe?"
