Ding Tian's Ancient Life

The uncle of the Hu family has little experience and even less courage. He really didn't dare to look directly at the prince or something. Once he heard that something was discussed, it must be something important, so he obediently went back!

In his own yard, he had breakfast with Liu Wenbin, and said to Liu Wenbin: "My lord is here, I have business to discuss with Tian Er, so I won't go over."

Liu Wenbin really couldn't see honest people being bullied: "It's okay, my lord... My lord is very easy-going... Sigh, you don't know how much my lord suffered when I was young..."

As expected, Liu Wenbin was born as a counselor. He betrayed His Highness King Ning in front of the Hu family's uncle early on. The Hu family's uncle burst into tears and said, "This stepmother is too cruel, even if it is not her own. It’s not like that, is it?”

"So, our lord has not grown crooked, that's really the virtues of the ancestors." Liu Wenbin served a bowl of soup for the Hu family uncle: "Let's eat, eat, I came out this time, I thought I would go back in five or seven or eight years. Who knows that the emperor thinks that the prince is doing too well here, and thinks that the prince is very useful, so he must be transferred back..."

What Liu Wenbin said was very useful to Uncle Hu, at least he had listened to all kinds of specious gossip in Beijing

Consciously opening his eyes, Liu Wenbin told him some common sense in the officialdom.

"These... do I need them?" Uncle Hu was a little flattered, and used to only talk about the knowledge in books.

"Of course it will come in handy. If you pass the exam in the future, you will be a juror. Even if you don't become an official, someone in your class might become an official. Besides, knowing something is better than being ignorant. In the future, you will have to follow him." Deal with officials." Liu Wenbin said: "Besides, Jue Ding will definitely have a bright future in the future, and the Ding family has no one in charge, so we can only rely on you, uncle, to support the appearance."

Sure enough, after saying this, the Hu family's uncle puffed up his chest immediately: "I will definitely not hold back my nephew."

Liu Wenbin smiled with satisfaction.

And Wang Zuo opened his eyes again, and Ding Tian quickly leaned over: "Are you awake?"

Wang Zuo still remembered what Ding Tian said, and raised his hand to touch his face... Is there no oil!

"Is it itchy?" Ding Tian leaned over to have a look: "Have you not been bitten by a mosquito?"

"No, I'm hungry." Wang Zuo said, "Eat."

"Well, eat!" Ding Tian pulled him up: "In the morning, eat millet porridge, mung bean steamed buns, salted chicken, and side dishes."

"Well, how are you doing here?" Wang Zuo changed his clothes and asked him, "Is someone bullying you?"

"Where is it?" Ding Tian happily recommended to Wang Zuo: "How about this?"

Hurdles vest, capri pants, his favorite in summer.

I really want to wear a couple outfit with Wang Zuo, so I prepared it.

It's a pity that Wang Zuo doesn't know how to wear things like his: "I brought some side dishes, oh, and spicy cabbage. The ones you make are still delicious."

"That's right, what I made was filled with real ingredients!" Ding Tian said proudly, "I'll bring the sauce jar with me when I go back this time. By the way, where's Brother Fugui?"

Even though he and Wang Zuo are already close by skin, Ding Tian has no airs and still calls Wang Fugui "Brother Fugui".

This guy is by Wang Zuo's side almost every day. When he wakes up in the morning, he will also bring face wash water, cleansing utensils and so on. Why is there no one around now?

It doesn't look like Brother Fugui's character!

"Over there in Beifeng Mansion, pressing the convoy and slowly heading for Beijing!" Wang Zuo got dressed and went to the canteen with Ding Tian to eat

rice.

The breakfast is very rich, although it is not as good as Wang Zuo's seven dishes and eight bowls, but it is also very good. At the dining table, Wang Zuo told

Ding Tian: "According to your habits, I let someone stay in the capital, and I also found a house for you. It's not big, with only three entrances, and two people across the courtyard.

"

The land price in Beijing is not cheap, and the house is even more expensive. In any era, the capital city is the center of the country.

It's not easy to live in the capital!

So being able to have a small house in Beijing is a very face-saving thing. Even some officials who are waiting for vacancies still have to rent a house to live in, and they cannot afford real estate in Beijing.

But the people of Dingtian have not entered Beijing yet, so they already have a property.

"Okay, thank you, my lord!" Ding Tian picked up a small dish with chopsticks for him: "Eat, eat!"

"Yeah." Wang Zuo buried his head in his meal.

After the two had breakfast, Ding Tian invited Wang Zuo: "Go shopping, I still have a lot of things to buy, by the way, I bought something for you."

What Ding Tian bought for Wang Zuo was actually not as good as what Wang Zuo brought himself, but Wang Zuo cherished this kindness: "Okay, I have a good vision."

Ding Tian said: "Although I don't know if you will sweat in summer, at least be prepared!"

The two looked at the things, packed up and went out. At the door, Ding Tian remembered: "You are here, those officials are not allowed to come and see you?"

"I was blocked by others, not to mention that there are not many people who have actually seen me." Wang Zuo touched his face very casually: "Most of the time I see people kneeling on the ground with their heads down. have."

So, not many people know him.

"Oh, that's fine!" Ding Tian was happy: "I'm going to buy some meat today, you people are here, what do you do for a day?"

, I have to have a few big geese to eat! "

In summer, eating mutton is easy to get angry, so it is better to eat poultry meat such as big goose and duck.

"Okay." It doesn't matter what to buy, I haven't seen anyone for a few days, and Wang Zuo doesn't want to be separated from him.

"Why don't you buy some old duck?" Ding Tian suggested, "Let the Maliujia cook some old duck soup, it's best to drink in summer

"

It wasn't for nothing that Maliu's family lived as neighbors with the governor's mansion, got to know the cooks in the back kitchen well, and learned a lot of skills.

Especially the skill of making soup, I don't know what to think, so I learned it very seriously.

The skill of cooking is ordinary, but the soup is getting better and better.

"Okay." Wang Zuo suggested: "Buy some more green vegetables. Didn't you say that you want to eat in rice buns? Chinese cabbage leaves, shallots, coriander, um, egg sauce..."

The two of them left after discussing with each other, followed by twenty guards, and Ma Liu, who was driving the carriage, felt that it was hard to see.

With so many people, we went to the vegetable market.

Summer is the season for vegetables. There are piles of green vegetables in the vegetable market, such as Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, spinach, rapeseed, coriander, spring onion, etc., as well as eggplant and green beans.

Counting the people brought by Wang Zuo, there were almost 50 people in the family. Ding Tian came to buy vegetables with great interest, and saw an old man guarding a carriage of eggplants, all black and bright, and asked: "How much is a cart of eggplants? "

The old man looked up and was terrified!

"This...young master, this cart of eggplants weighs 150 to 150 catties, one copper coin is one catty!" The old man was trembling, a little frightened: "Count your [-] catties... [-] copper coins...."

Because it was midsummer, it was the time when the green vegetables came down, and the vegetables were very cheap, and if the eggplants couldn't be sold...the whole family couldn't eat them all, they would all rot in the field.

So eggplants are cheap at this time, and beans are also a copper plate a catty.

"Okay, I want it!" Ding Tian said generously, "Can you please send it home? I'll pay you ten copper coins more

"

With that said, he took out the money and gave it to the old man.

"Okay, okay!" The old man was originally afraid of such rich young masters, for fear that one of them would be bullied if he didn't get it right, but Ding Tian gave 160 Zhan Zhanxin copper coins, and immediately, he was no longer afraid.

Ma Liu came up and told the old man the address, and he was not afraid to deal with Ma Liu.

Next door is a village woman with a child in her arms. She sells beans, which are about fifty catties for a copper coin. Bringing the children over to sell vegetables together, Ding Tian also bought it, it was cheaper, fifty catties, after paying the copper money, Ding Tian pointed to the old man's carriage: "It's just right, you are together, tired, and help to deliver it home. "

"Success!" The old man put the beans into the cart, and drove the carriage to Ding's house.

Ding Tian wasn't afraid that he would take the money and run away. People in ancient times were not so thoughtful, and there are so many people here, unless this person never appears here.

Wang Zuo looked at the peppers sold by an old woman on the other side: "That one is also good."

"It's pretty good." Ding Tian walked over: "How do you sell chili peppers?"

The old lady's peppers are straight and long, so they look good: "One copper plate is one catty. If the young master wants it all, it will be fifty catties. In fact, there are more than 60 catties here."

"Okay, I have them all!" Ding Tian took out the money and bought them all.

Ding Tian bought all the things of the three people in one go, and the others were greedy.

I just bought the chili peppers, and before they could be loaded into the car, a woman who was also selling chili peppers diagonally across from the old woman came up to the pole: "Master, I have more than 70 catties of chili peppers, counting your [-] catties, is it worth it?" ?”

This woman has triangular eyes, thin lips, and a vitriolic look on her face.

There was a bit of calculation in his eyes, the pepper in his hand was larger than the old woman's, so it should be a sample picked out on purpose.

At this time, to be honest, green vegetables are not worth much, and it’s pretty good to be able to sell them here for one copper coin per catty. Ding Tian remembered that when he was in Niujiao County, green vegetables were sold in baskets at this time, with two copper coins per basket and three The one with copper plates, up to five copper plates, is not bad.

Because the ancient times were farming societies!

Who doesn't have any land at home?

When I was in the village, building a house probably required a title deed, house deed or something, but when delimiting the yard, there was no

People control.

As much ability as you have, you can enclose as much land as you want. Farmers live their lives carefully, and they can grow something in the front, back, left, and right sides of the house. The most important thing is that the things planted in their own yard are not taxed!

this point is very important.

Even these farmers who come to the city to sell vegetables, the government does not collect tax money, because they may come to sell for a day or two, or several times, because the vegetable garden at home can not only be sold for money, but more importantly, All the vegetables eaten by the family come from the vegetable garden.

They don't have much to sell.

However, the things that can be sold must be things that the family expects to make some money. It's too careless for a woman to cut her hair halfway.The old lady was very angry, but she didn't dare to yell and curse in front of the nobleman, but her eyes were redder.

"That's enough chili." Ding Tian didn't like this kind of people the most, he was full of calculations at a young age, and what's more, he didn't do it very well. He respected the elderly, but he definitely didn't like working women like women.

But the woman refused: "My peppers are better than hers..."

Still wanting to entangle, Wang Zuo was already angry, waved his hand, and Bai San'er rushed up like a dog: "Go away, if you dare to entangle, I will take you to the official! My young master also bought peppers, and I don't want your peppers. You want to steal business, but you have found the wrong person!"

The woman also saw that Ding Tian's tender face was easy to bully, but instead of being as fierce as Bai San'er, she immediately withered: "Yes, yes...

"

Shrunk back and didn't dare to say anything.

Ding Tian is so angry!

"Isn't this bullying me so I can talk?" He looked at Wang Zuo, very wronged: "I look so bullying?"

"No, you look so majestic." Wang Zuo said against his will: "There is a pumpkin seller in front, go buy some? Stewed pumpkin with beans tonight...

 … ,,

I bought a lot of green vegetables and went back, and I could eat them for two or three days before Ding Tian sent Ma Liu back. He took Wang Zuo with him and continued shopping. The big place is different. After shopping in one street, and another street, Ding Tian specially took Wang Zuo there. I went to the place where he bought rouge and gouache: "Let me tell you, that shop is very interesting, there are many good things..."

"Whether the shop is good or not, I don't know, but I think something happened to that shop." Wang Zuo pointed to the front: "Is that the one?" Ding Tian raised his head: "Ah? Yes!"

I saw a lot of people around the entrance of the rouge and powder shop on that street, and I could hear men shouting and cursing, and... girls screaming, women begging for mercy.

But, why did he hear the woman's voice, and the girl's cry... so familiar?
