Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Chapter 137 A Few Little Stories

Ding Tian is not really an ancient Xiaobai. His dim sum shop opened, which must have impacted the dim sum market. Those three are old brands. Other grocery stores stock ordinary dim sum from them, and the high-end ones are all their signature dim sum. They are all old stores with deep foundations and intricate network of relationships. What about his?

Just Cui Jiu's stop there... It is estimated that many big girls and young wives would be discouraged.

Who wants to buy things with a rascal?

Fortunately, Ma Liu's family looked very decent, especially Ma Xiaofeng, a half-grown child who could read and write, because he was in charge of keeping accounts.

Literate children are welcome everywhere.

And some big families even specially sent people to buy dim sum.

If it wasn't for that signboard, who would know who Ding Tian is?

If it wasn't for that inscription, who would have dealt with Cui Jiu?

So Ding Tian came to thank Wang Zuo sincerely, and asked with some concern, "Will it cause you trouble?"

"What trouble will it cause me?" Wang Zuo ate the milk cake calmly. This thing is full of milk flavor and sweet, and it is best to drink with green tea.

But Wang Fugui's eyes almost fell out, because the prince used to hate the smell of milk, for this reason, they never made something with milk flavor for him, and if they had to use it, they only used a little, called People can't smell milk.

Because the prince said that it tastes like a milk baby that hasn't grown up.

"They went to my place to buy things, and what they were running for was your inscription..." Ding Tian thought for a while, and told him about the scene he had acted in when he was watching TV before: "Then hit me up." Of course, I wouldn’t do that...then they hype it up and make the dim sum a high price, a box of ten taels and eight taels of silver..."

This is how the costume dramas on TV are performed. I remember that there are tofu sellers. It was ordinary tofu, but it turned out to be fish brain tofu made from fish brains, and then asked for a sky-high price... .

Wang Zuo was stunned when he heard it: "How did you come up with this?"

"I... I'm just talking casually, maybe it's possible?" Ding Tian scratched his head: "Don't get involved because of a small shop."

"In Beijing, I also have a few shops, and I also wrote the inscriptions myself. If I got involved, I would have been in trouble." Wang Zuo couldn't laugh or cry: "Also, who has the ability to force the king? Can he be more powerful than the Son of Heaven? Then he is really not far from death."

Ding Tian felt relieved: "Oh, that's good!"

As long as there are no hidden dangers, he can make Cui Jiu honestly correct his evil ways.

"I really don't know what you're thinking?" Wang Zuo was more curious about Ding Tian's unimaginable thoughts: "Is there any other way to bribe? The weird one? Tell me!"

Ding Tian thought for a while: "There are also those who buy calligraphy and paintings. At the beginning, you are asked to write inscriptions, and then the money is calculated according to the words. Your words may be worth thousands of gold..."

It seems so, right?

I remember that there was this scene in the TV series "XX as an Official" before. The last good Jinshi and noble official was dragged into the water....

"Hahaha..." Wang Zuo laughed loudly.

"Or just find a famous prostitute in a brothel who shares your interests and loves you... And you can't really marry her, or take her in, you can only raise her in a brothel and contract her for a month or more... That also needs money. ..." This kind of plot is used badly in TV dramas.

"Ahahaha...!" Wang Zuo patted his thigh and laughed.

"Or what you like, they will study whatever. If you think the status of women in brothels is low, you can also find a relatively remote nunnery, where there is a little nun with a miserable life experience but a stunning appearance..."

"Ahahaha...!" Wang Zuo laughed and burst into tears.

Wang Fugui couldn't hold back his laughter, "What are you thinking about?"

Ding Tian was also a little embarrassed: "I usually just think about it when I have nothing to do...."

On the contrary, Wang Fugui was very grateful to Ding Tian when he saw that Wang Zuo was so happy. Regardless of whether Ding Tian was ignorant or just thinking wildly, he made the prince laugh.

When it was time to make lunch, Wang Zuo told Wang Fugui, "Have someone cook something light and delicious... Well, that cold beef is good."

"Yes!" Wang Fugui went to the kitchen to order.

Taking advantage of Wang Fugui's time to go to the kitchen, Ding Tian asked Wang Zuo: "Why is Brother Fugui looking at my milk cake with a surprised face?

"

"Because I didn't eat milk-flavored food before." Wang Zuo gave him an answer.

"Ah?" Ding Tian didn't believe it: "But I think your food is delicious?"

"I was young back then, but I wanted to be an adult. I didn't like anything that symbolized immaturity and weakness, so I didn't like the smell of milk, because it would make people think that I hadn't been weaned yet." Wang Zuo himself was a little bit Depressed: "It's not that I absolutely don't want to eat it. After all these years, they haven't given me anything that tastes like milk, including milk porridge and the like, and they don't even add it to pastries..."

Back then, he had no choice but to pretend to be an adult.

Now he is in his 20s, he is an adult after the crowning ceremony!

Ding Tian gave Wang Zuo a pitiful look: "Then you have worked hard enough."

It is impossible for Wang Zuo to tell Wang Fugui about this kind of thing, but what about Wang Fugui?That was treating Wang Zuo as if he was his lifeblood, and he wanted to put it on his head as an offering. If Wang Zuo didn't like something, he would definitely not let it appear before Wang Zuo's eyes again.

As a result, seeing Wang Zuo wiped out half of the plate of milk cakes in one go today, one can imagine the surprise in his heart.

Ding Tian had a sumptuous lunch at Wang Zuo's place at noon, and the specifications of Wang Ye's meals were of course much better than his own.

For the cold beef dish alone, Ding Tian ate half of the plate, and Wang Zuo ate the other half. Wang Fugui asked the kitchen to make another portion and put it in a food box for Ding Tian to take home to eat.

"I have something to do in the evening, so I won't go to dinner." Wang Zuo told Ding Tian after lunch, "Don't worry about your business, if you have any troubles, come and find me."

"Understood." Ding Tian bowed to him, and left with a shake of the food box.

What he didn't know was that after he left, Wang Zuo changed his face, and said to Wang Fugui with a cold face, "Go ask Liu Wenbin and the others to discuss matters in the study."

"Yes!" Wang Fugui no longer smiled.

When they got to the study, Wang Zuo asked Wang Fugui to briefly describe what Ding Tian said, and the people who heard it were dumbfounded. Wang Zuo knocked on the desk: "Isn't it incredible?"

"Yes." Meng Lingfei wiped off his cold sweat: "There are two of them here, and they turned out to be the mistakes made by the previous governor of Liangjiang. He was sent to prison after his home was confiscated. When he was still in office, his calligraphy and paintings were worth a fortune. He painted Wushan cloud and rain map, which is said to have been sold for 3 taels of silver; he wrote "Five Poems of Lisi", which was sold at a high price of 5 taels of silver. It is said that the governor of Liangjiang missed his deceased wife. The next word."

"There is also the matter of the oiran. The current governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, I heard that he has been entangled with a brothel oiran." Liu Wenbin was also irritable: "I heard that the cost of keeping the oiran in the brothel alone is a monthly fee. 3000 taels of silver, the redemption of the oiran

The price is as high as 30 taels!This is a public bidding price. Even if the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is rich, he will not redeem her, otherwise he will not be able to explain the origin of the 30 taels! "

Just because he couldn't redeem himself, he had to spend 3000 taels of silver every month in the brothel. It is said that the oiran is also very beautiful, has a good personality, and is talented... Otherwise, he can't fascinate a governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. He was so upside down that he didn't even care about the daughter-in-law at home.

"Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang...what's the background of his wife?" Wang Zuo asked Wang Fugui.

Wang Zuo was not married, and he couldn't trust any of the female relatives in the family, so he entrusted his nanny to handle the affairs of the inner house. The daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law of several loyal servants left by his mother.

Outsiders only know that King Ning's nanny is a powerful woman, and was even rewarded by the queen for her meritorious service in nurturing King Ning. For this reason, she deliberately broke away from slavery and was granted the title of Ruyi Anren.

This is from the title of the sixth product, "Ruyi" is the title.

Therefore, Wang Fugui, who was beside Wang Zuo, naturally knew a lot about the inner house from his mother.

"The wife of Lei Ming, Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Province, is the Lei Xin family. The Xin family is from Ganzhou. His father is the deputy general of Ganzhou's defense. His lieutenant general is still one level lower." Wang Fugui quickly provided detailed information: "Because of her natal family's lack of strength, the Xin family's position in the Governor's Mansion is stable, but she is not favored. If she hadn't given birth to three sons and two Daughter, I'm afraid Lei Ming would have..."

How is it early?

He had found a chance to divorce her long ago.

"But I heard that Lei Ming's eldest son, Lei Jiahao, is rushing for the exam in Beijing, and he is quite famous in the local area. Several dignitaries have taken a fancy to him and want to take him in as his son-in-law." Liu Wenbin only knows about famous people. Talented people and the like, trying to attract some talent to the prince

"Fugui, let someone tell the nanny that the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is about to return to Beijing to report on his duties. He must bring his family with him. When he sees Mrs. Lei Xin, he can support her at critical moments. Give Lei Jiahao some help and see if Lei Ming, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, can turn back? If not, just abandon him, this kind of person is troublesome."

"Yes!,,

Ding Tian didn't know that these people actually discussed the things he said, and they were even more innovative. After all, the countless stalks of later generations surprised these ancient elites.

He returned home happily, and the food box in his hand was put away by Aunt Jin: "Everyone in the family is busy in the shop today, so I'll take care of the house here."

"How is Xiao Le?" Ding Tian asked Aunt Jin.

Xiao Le is Aunt Jin's grandson, his name is Jin Shule, and most people call him Xiao Le.

It is said that this child likes to laugh since he was a child, and over the past few years, Aunt Jin has regarded him as her eyeball, lifeblood, and spiritual pillar of Aunt Jin.

"It's much better!" Aunt Jin was happy: "This kid is afraid now, and I haven't left his side these days.

That day, he joined in the fun with his classmates and really went to see the beheading, but it took him a long time to come back and realize that he was afraid, this kid, alas! "

"After learning this lesson, I will know it in the future." Ding Tian was amused: "I see there are two little roosters in the kitchen? Bring one back

Go, give the kids some chicken to scare them off. "

"Hey, hey!" Aunt Jin nodded, if she didn't want anything else, but if it was used to scare her grandson, she would accept it.

But she is not a person who asks for things for nothing. The old lady sent Ding Tian four pairs of...a bit strange shoes.

These shoes are made of beaten soft straw, a bit like straw sandals, but with long reeds.

slippers.

Ding Tian didn't know how to weave straw sandals, but he asked for cool straw slippers, and Aunt Jin remembered it.

This thing is not troublesome, and the straw is not expensive. It's just that when weaving, for the sake of looking good, a few pairs of shoes were scrapped, and this is the finished product in front of me.

"This is good, this is not bad!" Ding Tian was overjoyed: "Is it troublesome to weave?"

"It's troublesome at the beginning, but it's not too much trouble after weaving. The main reason is that the straw needs to be beaten softer before we can start weaving..." Aunt Jin said: "And these shoes are much softer and stronger than ordinary straw sandals. gone."

Ding Tian thought for a while: "The straw, how do we beat it?"

He thought of another way: the prisoners in the prison have plenty of strength.
