Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Chapter 448 The Two Cousins ​​Get Married

This memorial is written very comprehensively, and it highlights that the villagers of Dingjia Village are not afraid of hardships and hardships. They fought hard all day and night, retreated to the ancestral hall in an emergency, and held on for a day until the arrival of reinforcements. They killed five hundred enemies and captured thousands of enemies. Two thousand war horses...

The most important thing is that no one was damaged, only two people were seriously injured, both with an arm broken, and 53 people were slightly injured, including the elderly, weak, women and children.

"Is it appropriate to write like this?" It feels a bit exaggerated.

"Of course it's appropriate." After Wang Zuo finished writing, he blew it, stamped Ding Tian's big seal, and also stamped his own big seal: "This is a good news. Sending it during the Chinese New Year is definitely the icing on the cake. The emperor will pay attention to it." Rewards for you, especially the two broken arms, I guess, will give some tax-free treatment."

"That's a good relationship. By the way, did this group of people really go anywhere else? Did they come straight to our Dingjia Village?" Ding Tian wanted to ask clearly about this.

"They heard people say that Dingjia Village is rich, and there is an official who came back to celebrate the New Year, so he came here. I have already sent someone to investigate. The gap they came in seems to be the one guarded by the fourth prince's uncle. One piece..." Wang Zuo only said this: "You don't have to think about the rest, I will take care of it, now, go and see, what food is there? Bring me some, I'm a little hungry."

"Oh, okay, the food this morning may not be very rich, but there must be something delicious, I'll go and get some." Ding Tian slipped off to the ground, pulled on his cotton slippers, and ran to the kitchen there.

The kitchen was really buzzing with people.

Half of the people brought by Wang Zuo sent the prisoners of war back and celebrated the New Year in the county town by the way, while the remaining half were here to guard the village and also celebrate the New Year here.

The old village head had already sent people to kill chickens and sheep in the ancestral hall to make a big pot of rice for them to eat, and each family also made some good food, carrying wine jars to add food to these reinforcements.

Ding Tian's family also sent something, but what he sent was a beef cow, and he asked the ancestral hall to cook it himself.

In addition, there are a thousand steamed buns and a thousand vegetable dumplings.

It was all sent to the ancestral hall, and it had to be steamed here, so after Ding Tian entered the kitchen, he picked up six vegetable dumplings. He thought that the throne might not like meat buns that were too greasy.

Then I cut a plate of cooked beef, took a shredded chicken, thought for a while, and ran to get a plate of spinach with nuts, at least there was a green vegetable.

He got a can of mutton and radish soup, a plate of tofu mixed with shallots, four dishes, one soup, and one vegetable dumpling, and put them on the kang table in his west room: "Come, let's have some for now, the village is quite busy now."

"Everyone is busy celebrating the New Year." Wang Zuo took off his boots and got on the kang, "Let's take a rest too. I'm terrified by this New Year's Eve."

He didn't want to have the feeling of almost losing Ding Tian again.

"Okay." Ding Tian knew what Wang Zuo meant, because when Wang Zuo hugged him, he felt Wang Zuo's body trembling, which was a reaction only under extreme fear.

So Ding Tian tried his best to appease Wang Zuo, trying not to leave his sight.

The two of them stuffed something affectionately, their stomachs were not empty, they cuddled up to each other, said some words, and then slowly there was no movement, the two of them just leaned their heads together and fell asleep.

Ding Tian was very tired, and Wang Zuo was even more tired, not only physically, but also mentally.

Outside, many people walked on their feet, trying to keep their voices to a minimum.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the news in Dingjia Village did not spread, but because the news was so loud, after many villages heard about it, some village chiefs came to support them, even though the enemy had already been defeated. , but these reinforcements were still appreciated by Dingjia Village. In the end, it was easy to negotiate and sent away the angry militiamen, and a village gave five mutton sheep as a gift.

Wang Zuo started drafting the memorial again.

This year has been thrilling and exciting, but also rewarding.

As Wang Zuo said, it is a joyous event to report this kind of military and civilian affairs to the court during the Chinese New Year. Especially in the ending, the people of Dingjia Village won a big victory.

So the reward was sent by the imperial court in a hurry when Ding Tian and the others were about to leave Dingjia Village in the next year.

The entire Niujiao County is tax-free again for three years.

This is a drop in the bucket for the court, but it is a happy event for the common people.

Secondly, everyone in Dingjia Village has a reward.

Ordinary villagers each rewarded 100 taels of silver. Actually, how many families are there in Dingjia Village?

This silver reward is the most common reward.

Then every family has three or five bolts of silk and satin. This is palace silk, and it is bright red, which is more popular with the common people.

Each family divided two more cows, which are beef cattle for meat.

This was given by the local government. The local government asks for a lot of things from the barbarians on the grassland every year, especially cattle and sheep.

In addition, the young and strong families that Wang Zuo named to participate in the battle were rewarded with ten taels of gold and a pair of palace flowers more than others.

With a village that has resisted the cavalry raids of foreign enemies, the village head of Dingjia Village has an extra pair of jade pendants than ordinary people: "From now on, it will be the family heirloom of my old Ding family, and it will only be passed on to the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law!"

The old man was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, and solemnly hung the pair of jade pendants on his eldest son's waist, and hung the other on his eldest daughter-in-law's waist.

Ding Mo and Ding Kan's family even had a jade plaque of "Safety in Bamboo", which has also become a family heirloom.

Because some families with military achievements are rewarded in addition, which is also enviable.

Only Ding Tian didn't.

Uncle Ding and the others all have a jade ruyi.

Although there is no shortage of this jade ruyi, the emperor's aboveboard reward is still different from what Ding Tian sent as a New Year's gift.

As soon as the reward was received, a special room was immediately cleared out to enshrine this jade wishful.

This is a serious "Emperor's Reward"!

After receiving the reward, the second uncle and the third uncle were beaming, and found that there was no Ding Tian, ​​so they couldn't help asking worriedly: "Tian'er, where is your reward?"

"My reward will not be delivered until I return to Beijing." Ding Tian said, "Congratulations to my second and third uncles."

Because their two families are the wealthiest in the whole village, they not only killed more than a dozen sheep to make soup in the ancestral hall, but also killed two cows, and gave up all kinds of food without money. The family’s are all jade pendants and jade plaques, etc. Uncle Ding and Uncle Ding’s family is Yu Ruyi.

They are all Ruyi made of high-quality white jade inlaid with gold.

"That's good, that's good!" As long as Tian'er is not forgotten.

The two were happy, and the village held a grand celebration ceremony for this. In fact, it was a water mat that was set up for a day, and all the nearby villages came.

Uncle Hu's family was even more frightened: "The fence must be repaired, it must be repaired!"

The village head also said: "Xiu! You can't be lazy this time."

I didn't think it was anything before, but now I find that there are still dangers everywhere.

After the first month came out, County Magistrate Xu quickly appointed his son the second daughter of the Ding family.

But when the dowry was given, Ding Tian also said to County Magistrate Xu: "Based on your current political achievements, it is probably certain that you will be transferred to the magistrate. Will your family still appoint my second cousin?"

"Order!" County Magistrate Xu said with a wry smile, "not to mention that we are friends in need, even my son is very satisfied with Miss Ding Er."

"Huh?" Ding Tian's eyes lit up: "He has seen my sister?"

"I've seen it, and I've seen it more than once." County magistrate Xu touched his nose: "You know, we don't pay that much attention here, and I have seen it several times, especially Miss Ding Er, who doesn't have the affectation of those ladies. The dogs love it."

This is a frontier land, and the Ding family's generation has only just gotten up, don't think about being a lady, the second daughter of the Ding family usually takes people to the county town to buy things, and she will go to the cloth shop to pick cloth, Go to an embroidery shop to buy embroidery thread.

The family does not need her to do embroidery work to supplement the family, but she is not idle, making clothes for the family, her needlework is getting better and better, she also embroiders some small things, and prepares a dowry for herself.

Usually, she doesn't do nothing, she just knows how beautiful she is. She has someone to take care of her at home, and she also does some work, and occasionally cooks a meal for the family.

In short, she is a very ordinary farm girl.

If you can stay in poverty, you can also enjoy wealth.

Ding Tian didn't expect that Mr. Xu had a high opinion of his second cousin.

The two parties successfully got married before Ding Tian left Dingjia Village and returned to Beijing.

Ding Tian personally added more dowry to the second cousin than when the first cousin did it. Wang Zuo, as King Ning, wrote a banner for him: "Beautiful children and beautiful women, IKEA and IKEA."

In addition, makeup was added, which was a set of red gold inlaid head and face jewelry produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

And pairs of jade bracelets, jade pendants and a pair of gold inlaid jade Ruyi.

Seeing this kind of makeup, the mother-in-law of the lobby girl's eyes became hot: "This is much more precious than you were at that time."

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Before his wife could say anything, Hu Biao became unhappy: "What kind of family did the second cousin marry? What kind of family is our family? The makeup will not be simple."

Hu Biao saw this point more clearly than his mother. He was only a scholar when he married his wife.

Even if it is his current fame, what is it in front of His Highness King Ning?

In Prince Ning's house, the toilet cleaners are probably superior to Juzi.

My mother was spoiled by that cousin. Although that cousin was married off, she was influential after all. She couldn't help saying seriously: "Or do you think, what's wrong with your daughter-in-law? Did she not give birth to children for my Hu family, or Not being filial to your parents-in-law? Even half of the dowry my two younger sisters got married was given by her!"

The daughter-in-law has a generous dowry, and is richer than her own family. Every year, the income from the fields and the rent from the shop have always been used to supplement the family. They don't need to subsidize it. Instead, every time the daughter-in-law goes back, she can bring something back. It is because the father-in-law loves her daughter and gives her some things to help her in-laws. Where can I find such a daughter-in-law?

What's more, when the two younger brothers got married, the daughter-in-law secretly gave him 200 taels of silver, and one younger brother's "private house money" of 100 taels of silver, which fully reflected that he, the eldest brother, did not forget his brotherhood, even if the family was separated. Yes, and the two younger brothers also communicate frequently, and they are very convinced of him as the eldest brother.

Isn't it just that when the family was separated, the family property was divided fairly, and there was a subsidy in private, and the life was better, and the two younger brothers were sent to the school by him, so he didn't want to be able to pass the exam like him and become a scholar That's good too!

"I... that's what I said." Mrs. Hu was a little scared: "Daughter-in-law, don't mind, hey, I've eaten too much lard recently, and I'm a little confused."

In Hu's village, who doesn't envy their family who married a golden baby back?

The daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy as soon as she entered the door, and later she became pregnant again, gave birth to children, and never neglected them. She also took care of the housework at home. Enjoy.

"It's okay, mother-in-law, let's go and sit over there. I'm going to send my second sister out in a while. In the past, our family was all boys, and only our two sisters were girls..." Ding Guihua supported the maid's hand, While walking with her mother-in-law, she talked about things in her childhood and changed the topic.

Don't embarrass your mother-in-law, and don't embarrass your husband.

Hu Biao likes this daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart, respects her, and of course loves her.

After sending off the wedding, Ding Tian was a little worried about gains and losses: "Another younger sister got married."

"Return to the door in three days, and after the return, we will leave for Beijing." Wang Zuo said: "After all, the child will have a family and start a business when he grows up."

Except for a younger brother, Wang You, Wang Zuo had no brothers or sisters, and his cousins ​​were all cut off.

He didn't have a good relationship with that half-brother.

So I can't feel Ding Tian's reluctance.
