Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Ding Tian was most afraid of such an atmosphere, so he simply opened his mouth and asked Wang Fugui: "Brother Fugui, what are you trying to tell me by making gestures?"

Wang Zuo turned his head and glanced at Wang Fugui lightly.

Wang Fugui cried and said, "My lord doesn't use much food at night. Look, is it called supper? The master from Lanzhou over there has already prepared everything, beef ramen..."

"Oh!" Ding Tian slapped his head: "I'm so drunk."

"You're full, what do you call supper?" Wang Zuo threw the book in his hand aside, sulking.

"Don't!" Ding Tian quickly went to the pit and sat cross-legged: "Let me tell you, Mr. Fu Zun treats guests to dinner. The food is good, but everyone is patronizing and drinking happily, and there are a few who drink too much. I was about to climb on the table to dance. No matter how delicious the food was, I didn’t eat much. Now that the wine is digested, my stomach will be full of empty plans. Brother Fugui, hurry up and ask the master to pull the noodles. I want dragon beard noodles. The thinnest one is delicious!"

"Didn't eat much?" Wang Zuo glanced at Ding Tian's stomach, it seemed that it didn't bulge much.

"I really didn't eat much." Ding Tian nodded affirmatively: "You know, those people are all full of big wine bags, and they can't have enough to drink!"

Ding Tian's complaint made Wang Zuo look a lot better.

Wang Fugui said swiftly: "The little one, let the master cook the noodles!"

"Two more side dishes." Wang Zuo ordered: "Put more beef."

"Okay!" Wang Fugui is so happy, the prince just ate a bowl of rice in the evening, according to the regulations of the palace, the bowl can be small, what can a bowl of rice do?

Although he said he would not move around at night, and eat less to avoid food accumulation, but he also ate too little, plus he strolled back and forth at night, drank a cup of tea, and didn't eat any snacks.

The whole person is under low pressure, so why not worry about Wang Fugui.

It's all right now, I'm happy to eat, and there are people chatting, which is very good.

Ding Tian would tell him about the pleasures of eating, for example, if someone drank too much, he would tell him how fierce his wife is on weekdays, even on the kang, she is a tigress!

"What kind of mess is this?" Wang Zuo was unhappy.

Ding Tian immediately changed the subject: "There is someone who drank too much, hugged the person next to him and kept calling his brother, his brother was away on business, and he didn't come back, that person was younger than him, he couldn't laugh or cry With a drunk!"

Wang Zuo withdrew his elongated face this time.

"There's another one that's even more funny. Everyone calls me Dad... No, calling him Daddy makes a lot of people avoid him. He has a big beard, and his dad has already been buried in the ground..."

Ding Tian acted like coaxing a child, and finally he coaxed Wang Zuo into joy.

Their supper has also arrived.

One bowl of beef ramen per person, the bowl is big, only half a bowl of noodles, the rest is soup, and a lot of green noodles sprinkled on top

Garlic sprouts.

A dish of braised beef, a dish of sugared garlic, a dish of dried eggplant with soy sauce, and a dish of spicy cabbage.

This is their supper, Ding Tian is really hungry, but he didn't lie to Wang Zuo, how can this kind of party be full?

In addition, everyone was so excited that they couldn't think of eating at all, and they all thought of drinking.

After supper quietly, Ding Tian felt sleepy, but Wang Zuo wouldn't let him sleep: "Put on big clothes and send me back."

"You're not a little girl, why don't you go back by yourself..." Ding Tian really wanted to lie on the pit and not get up.

"I just ate, don't lie down, don't move, you will accumulate food, let's go!" Wang Zuo pulled him up, put on his big clothes, and took him out again.

In fact, the backyard of the two is connected, but Wang Zuofei wants to follow him through the front door.

Well, Ding Tian's small courtyard is okay, there is not much difference between the front and the back, but go out from the gate, then go to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, after entering the gate, enter the second gate, the third gate...pass through the Chaoshou verandah....

After sending off Wang Zuo, Ding Tian wanted to take a shortcut to go home, but Wang Zuo refused: "Go through the gate!"

Ding Tian pouted: "You bastard..."

"Huh?" Wang Zuo snorted.

"Okay." Ding Tian turned and went out again, but Wang Zuo followed him out, and Ding Tian looked at him wonderingly: "You follow

What are you doing out there? "

"I'll take you to the door." Wang Zuo said lightly, "Let's go."

Ding Tian looked at him: "You..."

He wanted to say, are you sick?

But there was something sweet in his heart, he couldn't say this sentence.

"Huh?" Wang Zuo looked at him.

"It's nothing." Ding Tian shook his head: "Let's go, you can just walk me to the door, don't go out the door, or I have to send you back again."

Come"

Wang Zuo smiled and said nothing, the two walked side by side.

Ding Tian didn't have too much concept of superiority and inferiority, but Wang Zuo deliberately didn't let him get familiar with that.

So that the two get along more and more equally.

In front of the two of them, there were two healthy servants holding big lanterns to illuminate them, followed by four healthy servants, until they reached the gate, there were Bai San'er and other guards standing there.

"It's so close, next door, don't you need an escort?" Ding Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not a big girl, I have to be escorted to go out?"

"It's only a few steps away." Wang Zuo's rules for Ding Tian are different from those for others.

Bai San'er and the others had to send Ding Tian to the door of his house and let them come back after watching him enter the gate. In fact, Bai San'er and the others were patrolling the entire street, and there were people standing guard at the street corner, but because it was In such a icy and snowy place in the Northeast, two small houses have been built at the intersection. At this time of winter, the guards are standing guard in the small houses. At least there can be a stove inside to prevent them from freezing.

After Ding Tian came back, he still wanted to laugh inexplicably, and felt that he was not in the right state. In the end, it was due to drinking too much!The festive energy in the government office lasted until the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the last full moon night of the year.

On this day, Ding Tian distributed New Year's benefits to the jailers in advance: ten taels of silver per person, one bolt of solid-colored muslin cloth, one bolt of pure-color floral cloth, ten catties of fat pork for each person, and a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones for each person.

The reward is not unreasonable, and there is even a month's vacation.

It started to release on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.

I didn't go on business until the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

The days of really running business are usually after February [-].

"Prisoner, so early...?" Uncle Zheng looked at the New Year's benefits that he gave, and it was indeed good, much better than every year. Every year he could give two catties of pork and one tael of silver, it was all thanks to his superiors.

This is ten times as much as in the past!

It's just that the time is not right, is it too early?

Even if it's twenty rounds, it's justified, right?

"It's getting late." Ding Tian said, "I'm going to ask Mr. Fu Zun for leave after I've distributed things to everyone. I'm going home for the New Year. Everyone's homes are nearby. I don't believe it. My home is in Dingjia Village, Niujiao County."

There, are his roots.

"Oh, yes!" Old Uncle Zheng patted his forehead: "I'm so confused, I forgot about it."

"You are not an idiot." Ding Tian laughed: "People say that having an old man in a family is like having a treasure. You are the one from us."

precious. "

"It's all over the sky, and it's a treasure!" Old Uncle Zheng was laughed at by him.

Ding Tian took out another [-] red envelopes: "The first ones were given by the government and the prison. I personally gave it. This year, everyone has worked hard. Each person has a red envelope. I wish everyone an early New Year in advance."

"Ding Siju is being polite."

"That's right, it's too polite."

"I'm not being polite." Ding Tian shook his head: "If it weren't for everyone's concerted efforts, hard work, and the cleanliness of our prison, I know that my personal requirements are very high, and everyone's daily workload is quite heavy, especially in summer. , asking to take a bath every day, smoke the room, it is very troublesome, but everyone does not complain about suffering or tiredness, I see it in my eyes and keep it in my heart. This year, everyone is united and worked hard. Prisoner, there is nothing to fish for, what he earns is the bounty of the court, and I will wrap a red envelope for everyone, and use the Zhan Zhanxin silver nude that the court rewarded, for auspiciousness and a good omen, come, one for each person, above Everyone’s name is there, don’t blame me if you get it wrong!”

Ding Tian's words almost reached everyone's heart.

It's not that no one complained, but because Ding Tian treated them very well, he endured it.

Ding Tian’s requirements are not only numerous, but also very strict. Every half a month, lime is sprinkled all over the corners of all the cells, the kitchen needs to be cleaned every ten days, and pots and pans must be boiled for a quarter of an hour. .

There are also quilts, which must be boiled in boiling water before being starched. After a rainy day, the quilts should also be hung on the clothes rail to expose them to the sun.

All kinds of requirements are more than one.

Now that he received the reward money and the red envelope, the anger dissipated immediately.

Ding Tian gave two taels of Zhan Zhanxin’s small silver ingots to the ordinary male jailers, and five taels to the two cooks. The cooks worked hard.

The female prison guards are also given two taels, but each of them has a silver hairpin in the shape of a plum blossom, which is exquisite and beautiful, and each has a pair of silver earrings.

Uncle Zheng's is ten taels, two silver ingots of five taels, and a pair of silver shrimp beard bracelets.

"This?" Uncle Zheng saw that there was so much more money than others, and he was a little afraid to ask for it.

"Old Uncle Zheng, this is what you deserve." Ding Tian forced things to him: "You have been a year old, and you have worried a lot about the smooth development of my work, and you know that."

If there was no old man like Uncle Zheng here to hold the line, although these jailers would be subdued, it would take Ding Tian's effort.

"Okay, the old man will take it." Seeing Ding Tian's attitude, Old Zheng Uncle knew that it would be impossible if he didn't take it, and he didn't see anyone else. He just waited for next year and continued to work hard.

And what he likes most is not silver, but the pair of silver shrimp whiskers.

Put it on for the old wife at that time... If there is such a pair next year, I will save it and show it to Mr. Zheng when he sees his daughter-in-law, so that it can be used as a token of engagement for the woman....

He is looking forward to the twelfth lunar month next year.

After Ding Tian finished distributing the things, he took the gift box and went to see Du Zhifu, told him that he was going to ask for leave, and gave Du Zhifu an annual gift in advance.

"That's fine, you go back early, and take a break this year." Prefect Du didn't look at the gift, but greeted people: "Go to the back and bring the annual gift that Madam prepared for Si Prison Ding."

"Yes, master." Naturally, a servant went behind to pass on the message.

"You are too polite." Ding Tian was a little embarrassed, because it felt like exchanging gifts.

"This is not for you alone. There are also gifts for your second uncle and third uncle. Oh, yes, there is another gift for Xu County Magistrate. You can help me take it with you." He has been a county magistrate there for ten years, so he naturally misses the people there: "I have a few more copies for the three old village chiefs there, and you can also send them along the way..."

Ding Tian sent an annual gift, but he wanted to run errands for Du Zhifu ten annual gifts, one of which was for him.

He returned home with a bunch of things, and packed his gifts separately. His family has a carriage, which is not enough!

I went to the next door and borrowed two carriages...Wang Zuo even lent him the coachman by the way: "These two coachmen don't live here,

Where is the Chinese New Year?It's just right to help you drive. "

"Then I won't let Ma Liu come with me. For the New Year's Eve, let their family show me the house here." Ding Tian actually didn't want to break up the family. It is a pity that the New Year's Eve is not reunited.

"Yes!" Wang Zuo didn't know why, but he especially supported him to keep Ma Liu's family.

Ding Tian was so busy that he didn't think much about it. He brought his people back and told Ma Liu that they didn't need to follow him back to their hometown, but just stay at home and look after them.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of his house again.
