Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Ding Tian is an ordinary person, very ordinary. His parents opened a small restaurant in the urban-rural fringe area. Compared with Ding Tian's ordinary, his younger brother is obviously more favored by his parents.

But Ding Tian is not sad, he is the eldest son at home, he should learn to be strong.

It's just that Ding Tian's personality is too quiet. From school to work, everything goes very smoothly, step by step, without disturbance.

He has only one wish: to be a policeman!

In the past, the urban-rural fringe area was a place where a lot of bums gathered. They didn't pay for meals, and they had to be welcomed by their parents with a smile on their faces. They had a basket full of IOUs, but their family didn't dare to ask for the debt.

Every time Ding Tian saw it, he was very angry, so he determined to be a policeman, because they were afraid of the police!

After years of hard work, the rogue bum either reformed or went in, and Ding Tian's hard work has paid off: he has become an honorable...prison guard.

It's a pity that after working for three years, during a prison duty, I was unexpectedly sleepy, and fell asleep with half-closed eyes, and then woke up... the sky was changed.

He's in a strange time.

Qing Dynasty.

It is only one word away from the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that the Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Han people, not the Manchus.

There is no braid, and it is still long hair, regardless of gender.

When he crossed over, it was Ding Tian who was here after the funeral.

The deceased, Ding Dahai, was Ding Tian's father, his mother died early, and he was the only one left in the family of three.

And his current residence is said to be Dingjia Village, Niujiao County, Beifeng Prefecture, under the rule of the three northeast provinces of "Daqing".Just by the name, you can tell that this is a corner of the mountain.

All the people living in the Ding family village are members of the Ding family.

Because of the xenophobic relationship, there is no family here that is not surnamed Ding, so the people in Dingjia Village are very united. If you break your head in the village, you will be united when you are outside!

Relying on this courageous energy, after migrating here, they took root, and after a hundred years, they will become the largest family in the local area, and it is easy for outsiders to dare to bully them. Similarly, Ding Dayong, the elder of Dingjia Village , and is also the Lizheng of the nearby Yangshu Village and Liushu Village.

Ding Daxing, Ding Yong's son, is the head of Dingjia Village.

The three villages are one mile, and there is one Lizheng. This is considered a low-level official position, without even a rank, but it is very majestic and status in the countryside.

In addition, there was a prison boss in Dingjia Village. Ding Tian’s grandfather, Ding Shan, was at first just because his family was poor, and because of the poor mountains and rivers here, he wanted to find something to eat. Ding Shan used to be a hunter. When the county government recruited a jailer, he applied for the job. He was a little better than others, so he became a jailer.

At first I didn’t know much about this, but later I learned that after becoming a jailer, you are a jailer. Within three generations, you are not allowed to take the imperial examination, and you are not allowed to donate money to buy an official.

Although working for government officials, he was despised by the local gentry and thought it was insulting!

But at that time, there was no way, it was too late to regret.

Later, Ding Shan thought of a way: Since he can't go back on his word, he must go forward bravely!

He was a man who could not read, but he sent his son to the house of a scribe who knew how to read in the government office, and worked as a servant and a long-term worker for their family, just to ask the scribe to teach his son how to read in his spare time!

The son went during the day and came back at night, learned some words, and taught him the old man along the way.

Dingshan has three sons, and the eldest son was sent. The second and third sons are all envious, but they dare not compete with the elder brother for this job.

When Ding Shan's eldest son, Ding Haihai, had almost finished his education, Ding Shan decided to marry wives and have children for the three brothers, and separate the families. Ding Dahai.

That is Ding Tian's father.

Ding Dahai's second brother Ding Dajiang and third brother Ding Dahe also have no objection.

Ding Haihai even chose a daughter-in-law from a scholar's family. He married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby. As a result, the daughter-in-law got hurt and died after taking the baby for a year or two!

V Dahai thought about his children, so he never married again, so he took his children to live.

A few years ago, Daqing fought fierce battles with Raksha and Goryeo. It was close to the border, and there was a lot of turmoil. Even a prison leader like Ding Dahai took four jailers to the front line, and the war ended. When it was over, Ding Dahai came back alone, still injured, and the county magistrate rewarded him with 100 taels of silver, five bolts of fine cotton cloth, and ten bolts of burlap.

Ding Tian was only 12 years old at the time, and he didn't know too many things, except that his father left within two days after his return.

The reward was left to his only son, and the county magistrate personally sent someone to attend the funeral, and promised Ding Tian that he would have a filial piety. After the funeral, he would go to work in the county government prison, and he would be the prison boss.

So even though Ding Tian is only 15 years old now, no one dares to disrespect him.

No one dared to think about the rewards from his family, because Ding Tian was not alone, he also had two uncles.

Ding Dahai spared no effort in educating his two younger brothers. Ding Dajiang and Ding Dahe respected his eldest brother the most. When the family was separated, the eldest brother said that he had an errand and was not short of oil and water. Brother, plus Ding Dajiang not only farms the land, but also runs a grocery store in the village; Ding Dahe has no business acumen, but he is serious and willing to do it himself. Ding Dahe's family has the most fields, and the two families are among the best in the village. people.

Ding Dajiang's wife, Ding Yangshi, is a gentle woman who has taken good care of Ding Tian since her sister-in-law passed away.

Ding Liushi, Ding Dahe's wife, is a pungent person, who also takes good care of her nephew, and because of her pungent character, she can chase him to someone's house and block the door to scold anyone who dares to bully Ding Tian.

After Ding Tian crossed over, the first person he met was his aggressive third aunt, Ding Liushi.

"Tian'er, don't think about it too much. They have climbed Gao Zhi'er, just climb it. I want to see if Gao Zhi'er can become a master of Juren, a master of Jinshi!" A bowl of noodle soup came in and put it on the dining table: "Let's find a better one, ah!"

"Third Aunt, I'm not. I didn't think too much about it. I just thought it would be better to give them a good reason for retiring the marriage? As for burying me?" Ding Tian was wearing an old sheepskin jacket, sitting on the kang, sucking Sniffing: "It's not that I don't want to marry her."

The reason why Ding Tian traveled over here was because the original Ding Tian was divorced!

In ancient times, being divorced was a very serious matter.

The fiancée was the granddaughter of an old scholar's family that Ding Dahai had arranged for Ding Tian when Ding Dahai was still alive.

At that time, the old scholar opened a small private school in the county, a place specially for children's enlightenment. From Ding Tian's point of view, it looked like a high-end kindergarten.

Although there are not many students, they can still make a living. In addition, the old scholar's family still has a hundred acres of fertile land, so they lived a prosperous life. As a result, after the old scholar and Ding Dahai passed away one after another, the family split up. Ding Tian's fiancée is the old The daughter of the elder of the Xiucai family, she couldn't tell when she was young, but she became more and more graceful when she grew up.

Now that he is 14 years old, but he has grown like a flower, the family is not very happy about this marriage.

In addition, although the old scholar has passed away, the child of a wealthy family he once taught has already obtained the honor of a scholar. It is said that next year he will go to Fucheng to take the exam for juren, and three years later he will go to Beijing to take the exam for Jinshi and become an official... …

The rich family's surname is Gao, and his family has a thousand hectares of fertile land, a big house, two shops, and more than a dozen servants, all of whom are well-known local gentry.

This son of the Gao family, after obtaining the honor of being a scholar, returned home to pay homage to his mentor, and unexpectedly met the granddaughter of the old scholar's family, so he saw it right. How could the Ding family be as good as the Gao family?

The other party regretted the marriage and quit the marriage. In order to make his reputation better, he buried Ding Tian, ​​saying that he was ambiguous with several widows... He is only 15 years old!

Because of the war, there are a lot of widows here, and the coverage is too wide, which makes Ding Tian very depressed, and because it is in the filial piety period, this is not just a matter of romance.

However, the other party was concerned about the ferocity of Ding's Village, so when he retired, he took back the 30 taels of silver, a pair of gold hairpins, and two bolts of silk that Ding Dahai had given to him when he was engaged.

The original Ding Tian was taciturn, but now he is even more depressed, holding back... He didn't come up in one breath, and was replaced by the current Ding Tian.

The current Ding Tian is more open-minded than the original master.

"Their old Chen family is not a good thing!" The third aunt now shares the same hatred with Ding Tian: "Once the old scholar Chen left, their family was divided, and now they have no contact with each other. Poor old scholar Chen, with a good reputation all his life, It's all gone!"

Everyone knew what the boss of the Chen family was up to, but they just didn't say it. The Gao family probably didn't think it was too good. After the marriage was divorced, they didn't immediately propose marriage to the Chen family.

Instead, the engagement was postponed on the grounds of "you are still young", but the tokens were exchanged in private, which is unknown to outsiders.

"Third Aunt, it's just what my parents ordered and the matchmaker said. I'm single now, and it's fine." To be honest, Ding Tian was relieved. If he really had a fiancée, he might not be able to adapt.

After he became a prison guard, it’s not that no one introduced him to girlfriends, but after hearing that his job was low-paying and dangerous, and he had a younger brother at home who didn’t have much savings, they all politely said “goodbye” to him. "Are.

And as he grew older, he didn't have any fantasies about girls, so he always suspected that he was a crook, but no one knew, and it was hard for him to say it. He just carefully hid himself and lived an ordinary life.

Who knew that he became a member of the crossing army.

"That's right, let me tell you, it's fine if you don't marry that girl from the Chen family, but if you dare to flirt with her now, you won't be able to play around when you grow up?" The third aunt said sharply: "What if I get a cuckold for you? manage?"

Ding Tian couldn't laugh or cry: "Why do you say that?"

This is the feudal era. The female relatives of a wealthy family have to take a car and wear a hat when they go out. Who is not accompanied by three or five girls, seven or eight women?

Even Xiaojia Biyu from a small family has to follow a servant girl and two wives.

On weekdays, the streets are full of girls from poor families who show their faces, but girls who have a little capital in their families are pampered and do not show their heads easily.

"Think about it, the one surnamed Gao went to the Chen family to pay homage to her teacher. If it wasn't intentional, how could she, a little girl, jump up to a foreign man?" The third aunt, Ding Liu, was very sure: "The Gao family is a There is a big mansion with three courtyards, and it is a scholar's house. The rules are the most important. A little girl usually stays in the boudoir of the back house. How did she get to the front? Did you see the right eye? Maybe, Chen How did the family instigate her?"

Ding Tian thought, isn't it!

He just didn't turn the corner, now that he figured it out, he patted his chest exaggeratedly: "Fortunately, I don't have to marry her."

His exaggerated behavior made the third aunt, Ding Liushi, laugh: "Hurry up and eat, and after eating, go to the village chief's house, your land, and see if you rent it out, or plant it yourself?"
