Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"You just keep it, just keep it!" The new owner didn't allow Ma Liu to speak, and gave him a big red purse, which contained a whole ten taels of silver: "Red envelope, red envelope!"

After speaking, he left with the people.

There was no chance for Ma Liu to return the gift, so Ma Liu was in a hurry: "Hey, you...you stop!"

Their house is next to the Governor's Mansion, and Ma Liu knew the people standing guard at the gate of the Governor's Mansion. He called to stop, and the Governor's Mansion naturally stopped him.

However, this new boss, despite being soft and chubby, is quite flexible in his movements, and ran away as soon as he led the people away. Moreover, this person also has a backhand, and ran away with the people. He can't let the brothers, Earth-shattering to chase after it?

Isn't that the city full of trouble?

But Ma Liu can't do it, he's afraid of causing trouble for Young Master Tian.

When Ding Tian came back, he saw Ma Liu with a depressed face: "What's wrong? Lost money?"

"No, Young Master Tian, ​​I'm afraid Ma Liu will cause trouble for you." Ma Liu told the story, pointed to several big gift boxes and said, "What should we do now?"

It was the first time Ding Tian encountered someone giving gifts like this, and he was also confused: "I'll ask the prince!"

He is not familiar with the officialdom, and he doesn't know some rules and so on. Simply, if there is something to do, ask him a man, who made him his lover.

Ding Tian hurriedly ran to the next door, and headed straight for the study, just as Wang Zuo was still talking to a few people, seeing him coming in, he didn't hold anything back, and told them directly: "How to deal with it, how to deal with it, you're welcome, We set off after autumn, at least after Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone already regarded Ding Tian as their own.

Ding Tian asked Wang Zuo unceremoniously: "The new owner of Sihai Casino gave me a gift, what should I do? Give it back to him, or throw it away?"

"Let's keep it as a gift, anyway, whether to give it or not, it's the same thing." Wang Zuo didn't pay attention to the generous gift at all:

"If he doesn't give it away, he's worried. If you give it away, you accept it. It's okay, because the two of you don't have any friendship. If he doesn't make an apology, it's his rudeness. At that time, if something happens, he will have to bear the responsibility... ...You take it."

"Okay then." Ding Tian thought about it, the other party's real backer was a prince, although Wang Zuo didn't say which prince it was, after all, to Ding Tian, ​​they were all the proud sons of heaven.

He had seen the second generation of power, the second generation of the army, and the second generation of the rich before, but he had never seen the second generation of the emperor.

I always thought that it should be a legendary existence.

Dian Dian ran back: "Come here, bring the box in, I'll open it and see what's inside!"

Ma Liu carried the things in for him in fear. Ding Tian took a look at them. There were eight boxes in total, and they were quite big. Ding Tian hadn't opened the presents for a long time.

In the first box, there was a red gold three-legged golden toad the size of a mouse, with a piece of Brother Kong Fang inlaid with eight treasures in its mouth.

In the second box are ten pairs of large gold bracelets inlaid with precious gold!

The third box contained a jade horse carved from agate.

"Wow!" Ding Tian was more interested in Jinchan and Yuma, and couldn't put it down: "It's so generous."

The fourth box contained twenty golden and round gold ingots, each weighing two taels.

The fifth box is a pair of pastel hollowed-out Sanyou swivel bottles.

The sixth box is quite ordinary, and it is a three-layer snack box.

The first layer is snacks, the second layer is dried fruit, and the third layer is tea.

Every box can be said to be priceless.

Ma Liu was really scared: "They gave a great gift!"

"The prince said, let me keep it, then I will keep it!" Ding Tian cheerfully threw two big gold bracelets to Ma Liu: "For your daughter-in-law and daughter, um, these two ingots, you have one , Xiaofeng one."

"This...?" Ma Liu looked at Jin Yingzi, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You...?"

Ding Tian was very happy: "Take it, others gave it for nothing, why not take it."

After receiving the generous gift, Ding Tian was in a good mood for several days, and then the spring plowing ended, and the people in the cells were distributed one after another, and those who went out went out, and the cells were emptied again. However, Ding Tian was afraid that the weather would be hot and there would be many mosquitoes, so he was very careful about hygiene. strict.

At the same time, he also began to want to find someone to take over his prison position.

On this day, he went to Old Uncle Zheng: "Uncle Zheng, I want to leave here and go to Beijing with the prince. I will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. So, I think, let Zheng Dang be the jailer."

"Ah?" Old Uncle Zheng was a little confused for a while: "You want to go?"

"Yes, the lord said, take me to Beijing together." Ding Tian said: "The rules here, you know, what Du Zhifu said, I want to go, recommend a successor, I thought, what do you think, Zheng How about it?"

"He... he... can he do it?" Old Uncle Zheng said, "I don't know, if you don't change sir...?"

"He came to Beijing with me. He is my husband, so he will naturally follow me."

"Okay, I'm thankful that you value Zheng Dang." Old Uncle Zheng thought for a while, "Actually, I want him to go to Beijing with you."

"Huh?" Ding Tian didn't expect Old Uncle Zheng to say that.

"This prison manager is not a prison manager, he is just a prison boss who is paid by the court, but following you to Beijing, at least he can open his eyes and have a good future, which is better than squatting here." Old Uncle Zheng said: " There are three sons in my old Zheng family, Zheng Dang is the eldest, I want his second brother to come in as a jailer, and he will follow you to the capital."

"Since you said that, then I'm not polite." Ding Tian really needed a few people to help him. In his eyes, the people at Wang Zuo's place were all talented students. They were either Jinshi or crazy students, and their IQs were frighteningly high. , He doesn't want to use them either, it always feels like overkill.

So he thought, just find two people to help him, one is not exchanged for money, technical talents, he still has a few bodyguards, although Zheng Dang is good at skills, but the most important thing is that he knows the basics, so even though Zheng Dang is not A person who can beat ten with one, but Ding Tian also trusts him.

"Okay! Old Zheng Shu is happy.

Ding Tian thought for a while: "How about this, I think you should take the position of prison manager. After your second boy gets familiar with this, after a few years, you will retire...you can pass on the position of prison manager to him. "

This is ancient times, there is no such thing as retirement.

Ding Tian had seen the maturity and stability of Uncle Zheng, and Uncle Zheng was mature and refined, so he would definitely be able to serve as the jailer well.

"Then I've become an official too?" Old Uncle Zheng was overjoyed.

In the past, his goal was to become the head of the prison, but now he has surpassed the head of the prison and became the jailer, which is a ninth-rank officer.

No matter how small a sesame seed is, it is still a foodie, and no matter how low its rank is, it is still an official.

"Well, I've become an official." Ding Tian was happy.

Two days later, the transfer order came down, and Ding Tian was promoted!

He was promoted to a sixth-rank official position, the prison supervisor of the Ministry of Punishment, which is a real official title, and the current prison supervisor is not the same as a prison supervisor in a prefectural city.

"You boy, that's fine!" Prefect Du was happy: "This government has just been promoted to governor, so you're going directly to Beijing now?"

"It's all supported by the prince, it's all supported by the prince, haha!" Ding Tian said: "This time, the prince wrote a letter for me, reporting my method of managing the cell to the imperial court. The imperial court attaches great importance to it, especially labor reform education. This one is very good, that's why the higher-ups thought about transferring me to Beijing... However, Mr. Du, you are about to be promoted, and when we meet in the future, I will call you Governor Du." "Hehe, it's easy to say, easy to say! "Du Zhifu's face was full of red: "I also postponed the time to take office here. I will leave after the autumn harvest. What's more, the Mid-Autumn Festival must be over, and people have been sent to clean it over there. The backyard, but I thought it was inconvenient, so I simply bought a house, a big house with four entrances, with six courtyards, so that the guests and children will have a place to live when they grow up."

"That's a good relationship!" Ding Tian thought for a while: "I'll buy a house too, so I can have a place to stay when I come back in the future."

Du Zhifu was very happy: "Okay, leave this matter to me, just right, buy a neighbor, it will be convenient in the future."

He was sure of it, and he grabbed Ding Tian and didn't let go. This was his lucky star.

"Okay, then please trouble your lord." Ding Tian returned two 500 taels of banknotes: "You take these first, if you don't have enough, I have to trouble you to fill them up first."

1000 taels is a lot. It is estimated that buying a house, adding renovations, buying furniture and so on will be about the same.

"Okay, I'm not being polite to you." The two of them have a deep friendship. Du Zhifu took the money and stayed Ding Tian for a meal. I bought the house and set up all the furniture, and from now on, I will be neighbors with Ding Siyu."

Master Du was a little surprised: "Isn't it all right if you arrange it for him? Why did you take the money?"

"You don't understand this. If I don't collect the money, he will definitely not ask me to buy a house for him. Even if he is going to be an official in Beijing now, I'm still a governor with a higher rank than him." Du Zhifu patted Master Du on the shoulder: "It's nice to be a neighbor."

Well, I guess, his house is not for himself, but for his relatives. "

"His relatives?" Master Du guessed right away: "His uncle wants Qiu Wei!"

Hu Wei is a scholar. In the case of Qiu Wei, he has to go to Beichong Mansion for an exam, and only if he wins can he be a candidate.

"That's right, and there are three scholars in his family, his eldest cousin, second cousin and brother-in-law." Du Zhifu said: "In the future, we will have to help you a little. Ding Tian, ​​this little guy, is lucky."

"Yes!" Master Du was happy: "Then I will know, and I will do it now!"

With the money, he really bought a house for Ding Tian, ​​because it is adjacent to Governor Du's house, and the place is very quiet. The neighbor to the east is Governor Du, and the neighbor to the west is Master Du. There is a vegetable market in the back, and a wide road in front. All the people living nearby are people from the yamen, and no ruffians or rascals will come here to make trouble. It really is a good location.

And after the Dragon Boat Festival, Ding Tian was in the yamen, arranged for Zheng Dang, relieved his errands of prison, and packed up to move. The Ma family followed him, and Jin Buhuan guarded his wife, because the daughter-in-law month It's big, and it's about to give birth.Wang Zuo's side has already taken care of it, but Ding Tian will temporarily stay at Beichong Mansion to accompany his uncle to take the provincial examination.

"Okay, you go there first, I'll be there in two days." Seeing that Ding Tian had packed his things, Wang Zuo asked him, "What about this house?"

"I entrusted Aunt Jin to take care of me. In the future, when someone comes to take an exam, I will live here. The front will be fine, and the backyard will not come in." Ding Tian reminded him in a low voice: "You are leaving, remember to close the moon gate at the back !"

In the future, when a new governor takes office in the governor's mansion, how can the rear residences communicate with each other?

Besides, few people know this secret!

"This will be my other courtyard in the future." Wang Zuo told Ding Tian, ​​"After I leave, the plaque on the Governor's Mansion will be taken down and changed to...Ningwang's Mansion Beifeng Bieyuan, and I will leave people to look after it. Your relatives are here, and if there is something to do, people from the Wangfu other courtyard will also

help. "

Others are not here, but so are his people.

"That's fine." Ding Tian felt relieved.

He didn't move many things, and most of his things stayed with Wang Zuo. He has a lot of people and cars here, so it's enough to pull them into the capital together.

So when Ding Tian went to Beichong Mansion, he took the servants of the Ma family with him, as well as some change of clothes, bedding and other items.

It was probably because of the mansion examination that caused a commotion in the official circles, so the atmosphere in Qiu Wei became a little tense. It's not yet the beginning of autumn, and as soon as summer came, some people had already gone to Beichong Mansion early.
