Chapter 178 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (13)

"Me?" She was stunned, "You flatter me too much, how can I do that! I can run errands for you or something, but the job you mentioned... I really can't do it."

Uncle Xi smacked his lips, "What are you afraid of? You are on a red mission, and you pick people's heads every day. If you look too much, it's like picking watermelons."

It's too easy to say this, what do you mean picking people's heads every day?Xia Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and retorted: "The prisoner has served the law, and his family will collect the body, and Huaishuju, who has no family and no business, will come to pick him up. There is no need for us to do this."

Saying so, Uncle Xi was in trouble again, "Then what should we do?"

Wu Changgeng patted his knees and said: "The executioner doesn't care whether he cuts it or picks it up. It's not that our little tree is unwilling to help. It's because our ancestors have been trained and dare not disobey. I see you, you still have to go to the horse cobbler. You don't have enough money. Everyone in the yard joins in, and you can dig out some more yourself, change clothes and put them in the coffin as soon as you finish sewing them up, and when you turn around, the grandma’s family will come and see, it’s so ruined..."

Uncle Xi arched his hands, "Uncle Nawu, I would like to thank you first, and I will reward you after I send my damn wife. Oh, you see, I have never encountered such a thing. I’d rather leave it there.” An old man rolled up his sleeves and began to cry, crying very sadly, crying that he was left alone, and there was no one to pour the footwashing water after.

Wu Changgeng squeezed his hands and said, "Neighbors in the street, I don't want to talk about this. Now, Xiaoshu will go to Caishikou, and I will invite everyone to come over to discuss and discuss. We put it together, and it is our responsibility." Yu Yi, do you think it will work?"

Uncle Xi let out a dejected voice, "I'll listen to you. I have to go back and let our aunt and grandma avoid it first. If this falls into someone else's hands..."

Shouldn't you be taught a lesson?Xia Zhi felt that the elder sister deserved to be beaten to death, so she interjected: "You can't let her go, the grandma's family can't find the culprit, so why don't they bury you alive! It's such a big thing right now, just stay away." Can you avoid it? You should admit your mistakes, you should kowtow, and you have to give an explanation."

Uncle Xi was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, he ate Ai Ai and said, "Whether her natal brother is a vice-counselor, big or small, I'm just afraid."

Now I know I'm afraid, and I'm afraid it's too late.Dingyi was very surprised, "Is your wife the sister of the leader?"

The so-called participating leader is Jiala Ezhen, the third rank of the official, and the fourth rank of the deputy. Although it is not conspicuous in the place where high-ranking officials are everywhere in the capital, its waist is thick enough for ordinary people.I didn't know it before, and I was very sad for Grandma Xi's death, but now I know, it's not worth replacing her.It's not that there is no one in her natal family, and she suffered hardships and hardships with a worthless man, and she would die a good death at the end, why bother!Dingyi stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and did not forget to bury the family, "I didn't say that it's rare for a married aunt to come back to take care of things in your family." Uncle Xi let out a deep sigh, and said nothing else She didn't listen either, she opened the curtain and went down the steps.

It is quite a long way from Tongfu to Caishikou, and it takes half a day to walk back and forth.She stood in the yard watching, it was already evening, and a large black cloud was piled up in the northwest, fearing that the sky would change.Xia Zhi stood on the window sill to say hello, "Unload the car and go on horseback. Don't negotiate with the horse cobbler when you see him, first talk to him first."

Dingyi agreed, and went to the back shed to lead the horse. After all these years of hard work, the girl's delicate temperament has long since been honed. Driving a cart, riding a horse, pulling coal, there is no job in the world that she cannot do.This has to be changed before, I dare not think about it.The sons of the Han family are different from raising girls under the banner. Qi people are full of nature, and women are wild and capable.It’s not true for Han women. Han people have a pair of small feet twisted and twisted. They walk a long way for a long time, and they keep them in the boudoir when they have nothing to do.

If her parents were still around now, they would be scared to death again when they saw her with her robes on and off her horse.There is no way, the environment dictates it, who wants to live in such mud and water, isn't it for survival.It is not easy for ordinary people in the market to catch their breath. It is already extremely lucky for her to be able to earn a living with her master like her.

The heavy rain is approaching, and there will be thunderstorms overhead, but it will not fall immediately, driving you away like a frightening person.Regarding the roads in Beijing, there is a saying that there are three feet of soil without wind, and a street of mud when there is rain.You have to do business while the ground is dry. If it falls a little, it will be muddy and it will be difficult to walk.

Hurry up, this pass is hard.When he arrived at the cobbler's shop to explain his purpose, the horse cobbler seemed a little embarrassed, "I've heard about it. You see, I dare to attack those who have been dealt with by the court in a serious manner. They can't move at will. Don't say I'm poor. Pay attention, who doesn't have a little reverence for ghosts and gods, or there aren't so many people going to Dongyue Temple to burn incense during the New Year." He lowered his voice, "Those who have a lot of grievances, whoever touches them, they will be with them. Who is serious. You can't make much money, and you will be in bad luck, so why bother!"

Dingyi knows the tricks of small businessmen, and now he is taking Joe so that he can sit on the ground and raise the price, embarrass the poor, and be able to embarrass the poor and pay money.She apologized and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know your ability in East City and West City?

"Have you ever seen a reasonable ghost?" The horse cobbler knocked on the copper nails on the saddle with drooping eyelids, and said indifferently, "When it dies, its mind is gone. It can't tell good from bad."

She covered her mouth and said in a calm voice: "The bereaved family said that they can't treat you badly. Grandma Xi committed suicide by arguing with her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law is guilty now. If you ask her for it, she dare not refuse."

The horse cobbler saw that he was slowing down, and his attitude was relaxed, and he immediately changed his words to look like a philistine, so he continued to circle around, biting his teeth and muttering: "It still doesn't work, it's troublesome, my son has no umbrella, I have to send it to him. "

Just be hypocritical!Dingyi gritted his teeth and asked him, "Where is your son on duty? Is it okay if I send him there? You see the imminent matter, so hurry up and take your needle and thread, there is a whole room of people waiting for you." Woolen cloth!"

The horse cobbler saw that the fire was coming, nodded and said: "Yes, you are also doing things for others, and if I evade it, I will show that I am not righteous." He took an oiled paper umbrella from the wall and handed it to her, "My son is Ma Lianying. , worked as a cook in Prince Chun’s mansion along Beiyan, Houhai. That kid was good at frying, and the prince said he would give someone a table, so he sent my son away. Like the eight bowls and eight dishes, and snacks and fruits, he You don't need anyone to help you, and you can Zhang Luoqi alone."

When Ding Yi heard that it was Prince Chun's mansion, he thought it was a coincidence, and praised him casually: "Your son is really promising, no matter how bad the world is, he can't starve a cook, it's a good job." Roll up the burden for him and push it out, " You hurry up, turn around and it will rain, and if the walking mule sprains its hoof, it will be over."

The horse cobbler went to Dengshikou crookedly, and she put on an umbrella and went straight to Prince Jin's mansion.The palace is solemn, just like last time, looking a little in awe.When I arrived at Asimen, I looked for the porter. The porter didn't change, so he looked familiar, and pointed, "You're here again!"

Dingyi smiled and said: "You are troubled, I will find Ma Lianying, his father asked me to give him an umbrella."

The concierge snorted, "Cook Ma has gone to dinner and is not here."

She didn't quite understand, "Isn't he just a cook, why is he still eating? He's already out of the restaurant, who will do the work in the house?"

"Huibin upstairs has a new dish, you eat it for nothing? Stealing the teacher! After eating, bring back the craftsmanship and keep it in your stomach. One day the master ordered it and presented it now. That's their cook's job. "The concierge talked nonsense with her for a long time, stood on the threshold and hooked his hands, "Put the umbrella here, I will hand it to him when he comes back. No one is allowed to stay in front of the palace gate, go back, let's go."

This is the rule of the house gate. Hou's gate is as deep as the sea, with such a large garden, several halls, and several courtyards. If you want to meet someone, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Dingyi was a little disappointed, she always knew what she was doing, but when she arrived at Prince Chun's Mansion, she always felt lucky.I want to meet the prince, it's luck if I can catch up, but it's fate if I don't, the pain will be over after a while.As for what to say when meeting the prince, I didn't think about it, it was nothing more than flattery and flattery.The prince has a good temper, so he nodded and stuffed her into any corner, and she would be able to go up Changbai Mountain with him.It's not that you have to wait, you can't go by yourself, the main thing is that you are afraid.In the past few years, the north has not been peaceful, there are thieves, and when they catch passers-by, they will be searched and robbed of money.She is a girl's family, with no one to rely on, and if something happens to her, she won't be able to find her grave even if she cries.

Turning around sullenly, this is not a place to stay for a long time. Just as I was about to step out of the eaves, heavy rain fell, crackling down, and the dusty road surface immediately smelled of mud.It's too bad, she just remembered that she didn't even bring a bamboo hat when she gave someone an umbrella, and now she threw it here, and the porter chased people away again, making it impossible to advance or retreat.

There is no reason for people to shelter from the rain in front of the palace gate.The horse was still being led under the willow tree by Haizi, she made up her mind to rush out, and once she got on the horse and ran wildly, she would always be able to return home.

Thunderstorms in summer are terrifying when they strike, and the sky is so dark that you can hardly see your fingers.It's over now, where are we going?She was so anxious that she didn't dare to step out, fearing that a blast of Jiao Lei would chop her into charcoal, and the porter behind her urged, "Hurry up, I will have to talk to the person in charge again."

It's too impersonal to blast people out in the heavy rain.But there is no way, there is no difference in essence between Prince Jin's Mansion and Prince Xian's Mansion, neither is a house of kindness, apart from the prince himself, all the servants below have this virtue.She sighed, and was about to cover her head and go out. At this time, a person came up from the other side of the steps, holding an umbrella, and was not in a hurry. The rain wet the hem of her robe, like a thin porcelain body covered with thick glaze, There is a kind of openness after the misty rain.

I think they are people from the palace, but they can't also come to shelter from the rain.She paused for a moment, looking at the man's face behind the umbrella.He put out the umbrella, and his purple-blond hair was crowned with red tassels. Although the surroundings were dim, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more clear and vivid in the light under the eaves.

People who are busy with everything, the strings are tense.He looked up at her, he should still remember her, and his tone was very familiar, "Come?"

Ding Yi is a bit cramped, so it should be right.When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly called him, "My lord, you are auspicious."

He raised his hand, "Get up, what's the matter this time?"
