Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Ma Liu went to open the door, and when he saw the person outside, he was stunned for a moment: "Butler Lin?"

The person who came was the housekeeper of the Lin family. Lin's family and Ding Tian had a very good relationship. Ding Tian would get a [-]% discount on everything he bought. It is also true that Ding Tian saved the two young ladies of the Lin family.

During the year of being here, they gave each other festival gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. Even Chongyang gave each other some fabrics from the capital, and the other party gave him two baskets of Chongyang cakes in return.

The two can be regarded as "deep friendship".

"Hey, Ma Liu, is your Tian Shao at home?" Lin Butler asked with a smile. He always laughs before saying anything. He is a businessman, and he pays attention to harmony and wealth.

"Yes, yes!" Ma Liu let the person in, but saw two carriages behind Butler Lin, with gift boxes on them.

After entering the door, seeing Ding Tian, ​​he explained the purpose of his visit: "I heard that you will leave early, so the family sent the New Year gift in advance."

"That said, I'm also planning to send the annual ceremony to the residence." Ding Tian smiled: "I've been very busy this year, and I haven't visited the residence yet. It's really rude."

"Don't be rude, don't be rude!" Lin Butler smiled and waved his hands: "The Lin family can rejuvenate here again, thanks to you..."

Although the words were not very clear, Ding Tian understood.

After the collapse of the Ma family, their business also collapsed, and a big piece of fat appeared in the business district of Fucheng.

The Lin family used to compete with the Ma family. If it weren't for the fact that the Lin family is a big family in the local area, and the family style is upright, and they have always been cautious, the Ma family would definitely plot against their family.

It is said that the reason why the second son of the Lin family is not in good health is because of the Ma family's plot...

This is the first time Ding Tian has seen this kind of calculation in the gate of the mansion, but it is not surprising to think of people like the Ma family.

When the Ma family was in bad luck, the Lin family rushed forward fiercely and dropped a large piece of meat. Businessmen are like this. The eldest son of the Lin family made sure and ruthless moves, and even the Zhang family avoided his sharp edge.

And it is said that the Zhang family also bowed to the Lin family...

"How is your master and wife? How is the second young master? Are the two young ladies all right?" Ding Tian showed an affectionate attitude.

degree.

He doesn't have many friends in Fucheng, the Lin family counts as one, and there are Jinbuchang, track and field, and Du Zhifu and Du Shiye.

Other than that, only Wang Zuo was left.

Others... Uncle Zheng's family also counts.

"It's all good, all is good!" Steward Lin smiled and said kindly, "Since the two young ladies came back, Madam's condition has been cured; the eldest young master is busy opening a new shop, and the second young master's condition has also improved. , you know, the master’s heart disease is the Ma family, and now that the Ma family has vanished, our Lin family can be regarded as a bad breath."

This is no longer a cryptic statement, but a loud and clear statement.

It can be seen that for the Ma family, the Lin family has really endured to the limit, and now the Lin family is the most ruthless to snatch the business left by the Ma family.

The Zhang family also got involved, but the Zhang family's actions were very low-key.

"That's good." Ding Tian also smiled: "I, I'm going back early, and I have to pay for my family's grave. I haven't been back for a year."

"Yes!" Steward Lin sighed: "Why don't you just move to Fucheng? In the future, you will always take root in Fucheng."

"No, my hometown is over there, and I'm still the grandson of the head of the house." Ding Tian said: "All the relatives in the village are there. When they grow old, they also want to return to their roots."

How old is he?At this time, I thought about things after I got old, so that Lin Steward, an elderly person, didn't know what to say.

However, Ding Tian accepted the Lin family's annual gift, which was very rich, four bolts of red brocade, six bolts of thick Gebu, ten bolts of fine cotton cloth, ten bolts of fine cotton plain cloth, and twenty bolts of coarse cotton cloth.

But the family who opened the cloth shop sent a carload of fabrics alone.

The other cart contained some special products, fungus, hazel mushrooms and other mountain delicacies. He probably knew that Ding Tian had opened a dim sum shop, so he didn't send dim sum. A more expensive drink.

He probably also knew that Ding Tian's identity was sensitive, so the gift was not only the fabrics he owns, but also some special products. If it was expensive, it was actually quite expensive, but compared to the reward Ding Tian received just now, it was incomparable.

Ding Tian received the gift and sent Steward Lin away. He felt a headache when he turned around. He also had to give the Lin family a new year gift. After thinking about it, he went to the warehouse to look through things.

He has a lot of things, but if you give it to the Lin family, you have to choose it. One is that the Lin family is a merchant's family, and it is too expensive.

It's not appropriate, and it's not appropriate to send what was rewarded to him... It's not appropriate either.

Ding Tian had no choice but to choose the Four Treasures of the Study from Wang Zuo's gifts, which are useful things, and the Lin family may like them, followed by a pair of gold silk purses, which contained a pair of golden peanuts, a pair of jade-made blessing beans, It is a gift for the two ladies.

The second young master was given a pair of hundred-year-old ginseng. Well, Wang Zuo would usually take this kind of ginseng in bundles for him, but Ding Tian didn't eat it... What kind of ginseng does he eat at such a young age?

So he gave the second young master a pair of [-]-year-old ginseng. The Lin family can buy ginseng, but they definitely can't buy such good-looking ginseng, they can only buy ordinary...Ginseng is a tribute in this era. Family status.

No matter how rich you are, you can't buy good ginseng if you don't have access.

So the ginseng sent by Ding Tian, ​​the second young master of the Lin family is not in good health, so it is most suitable to give him ginseng, and he added a ganoderma lucidum into it.As for the master of the Lin family, he gave a chicken wing wood ornament; the wife of the Lin family gave a jade bracelet.

After thinking about it, I added another jar of tiger bone wine. It looked like a small pile, but its value was definitely not less than the annual gift from the Lin family.

Ding Tian officially began to rest on the second day, and he planned to send all the New Year's gifts on this day.

The first one he went to was Lin's.

The Lin family is a big house with three entrances and six courtyards, and it is the ancestral house.

The population is small, but there are hundreds of servants and maidservants serving them. In addition, there are more than a dozen shops and thousands of acres of fertile land.When Ding Tian went, the person who received him was no longer the Eldest Young Master, but Master Lin.

Master Lin welcomed Ding Tian's arrival very much. The shrewdness of the businessman made him understand that Ding Tian was a person worth associating with. Even though the Zhang family gave the Lin family a lot of benefits, the Lin family did not match the Zhang family to get to know Ding Tian.

"Because the younger generation is going back to their hometown for the New Year, I have brought the New Year's gifts in advance. I hope you don't mind..." Ding Tian was polite and thoughtful. For this kind of family like a local snake, Ding Tian learned from Du Zhifu and lived in peace. Okay, I'm also good at talking

It's good to be kind.

"I know, I know, it's been a year since I came out, so I should go back and have a look..." Master Lin very much supported Ding Tian's decision and wanted to keep him for dinner, but Ding Tian didn't agree, but said that he had other things to do. After a cup of tea, I took my leave.

After Ding Tian left, the second young master of the Lin family appeared in the living room: "Father..."

"What do you think?" Master Lin asked his second son.

No one knew that the real master of the Lin family was the frail Second Young Master of the Lin family, who was the "Military Advisor" of the Lin family.

"He is a person worthy of close friendship." The second young master of the Lin family said: "Maintain the relationship with him well. He has saved lives for the third and fourth younger sisters. No matter how much my Lin family does, it can't be too much. As long as our relationship with him continues , and he still has a place to speak in front of His Highness King Ning, my Lin family will be able to live carefree in the Northland, and the old things will never happen again."

"Okay, okay!" Master Lin looked at his second son, his eyes were red: "If it weren't for..."

"Father, don't mention the past, isn't your son very good now?" The second young master of the Lin family smiled: "Those people didn't succeed, but now those who are beheaded are beheaded, those who are exiled are exiled, and those lowly maidservants , Didn’t you buy it back with money? When my son is not in a good mood, he goes to that small village and cleans them up, and he feels better. The pain is worth it.

I?

After Ding Tian left the Lin family, he returned home and dragged a cart full of things to Jin Buhuan's house.

Jin Buhuan has already started preparing for the New Year at home, because he is the only one in his family, but he is a local household. In addition to preparing at home, he also needs to prepare some sacrificial supplies. He has to visit the graves of his parents and grandparents.

Ding Tian's arrival didn't surprise him: "Since I knew yesterday that you were going to ask for leave early to go home for the New Year, I knew you were coming to my place. Sit down!"

"I'll give you a New Year's present, and it will be next year when we meet again!" Ding Tian happily moved the things in for him.

The things that are not exchanged for Jin are very practical, because he lives alone, Ding Tian gave him a lot of things in a very general way, the gift or not is second, the main thing is his heart.

Ding Tian almost prepared everything for him to eat, wear, and use. In the end, he still had 100 taels of silver and ten slings of brand-new copper coins.

board.

After saying goodbye to Jin Buhuan, Ding Tian went to Master Du's house and Uncle Zheng's house again.

The track and field house I went to last, I had traveled all over, and I came back very late, Wang Zuo was already waiting for him, and I didn't have time to make dinner today, so Ding Tian went to Wang Zuo's place with his things.

"I gave you a day's gift today, is it for me?" Wang Zuo looked at the things he was carrying and curled his lips.

"Yes!" Ding Tian put the things on the table: "It's just for you to eat, not a New Year's gift for you. Isn't the New Year's gift already

Is it for you? "

"When did you give it to me?" Wang Zuo wondered, "Why didn't I know?"

"Charcoal pencil!" Ding Tian laughed and teased him: "Such a good thing, isn't it an annual gift?"

"Really give me the gift of the year?" Wang Zuo looked at him and confirmed very seriously: "This is a good thing."

"I know it's a good thing, so I'll give it to you as a present!" Ding Tian patted the table and shouted to Wang Fugui: "Hurry up and have dinner! I'm hungry."

Wang Fugui didn't even look at Wang Zuo's reaction, so he said briskly: "Come on, I'll wait for you to come, and I'll serve the food, serve it!" After dinner, Ding Tian returned to his home, and the next morning, He gathered everyone together, including Cui Jiu, who came to give Ding Tian a dividend, but Ding Tian only took half of it, and he gave the remaining half to Cui Jiu as a red envelope.

"I'm going home for the New Year, so I'll give everyone a red envelope in advance, and I'll trouble you to watch it!" Ding Tian gave a red envelope alone: ​​"The driver next door will go back with me, don't worry, Ma Liu's family will stay behind. , and Lan Lan, you have a good year. There is everything in the warehouse, and there is no shortage of food and drink."

"Yes, Young Master Tian." Holding the red envelope, Ma Liu was not too happy: "Just, when are you coming back?"

"After the fifteenth day?" Ding Tian said: "Don't worry, I will definitely be back before the twentieth of the first lunar month at the latest. You are at home. If you have something to do, just go to the next door and find someone to help. You don't have to be polite to them."

"Yes." Ma Liu is really not polite, seeing His Royal Highness Ning Wang and his subordinates every day, people's courage has changed

big.

The person who used to dare not even look up can now be seen every day, no wonder he is not afraid anymore.

Ding Tian announced, "I will leave tomorrow, and I will help decorate the things tonight."

"Yes, Young Master Tian."

Everyone else was easy to say, but Lan Lan couldn't believe it when she touched the red envelope: "I have it too."

"All of them, all of them." Ma Xiaohua took her to the room belonging to the two of them at the back, and opened the red envelope.

Ding Tian used a small bag made of bright red silk, a very beautiful one, and inside it were two small gold ingots, one by two, and two small silver ingots, one by two.

The whole family is such a purse.

Ding Tian hoped that they could save some money. If he could redeem themselves in the future, he would not hesitate to let them go and re-register them as good people.

Otherwise, how bad would it be if generations of people are all present?
