Chapter 220 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (55)

Dingyi let out a long breath, "It's over. I don't think Suo Luntu is a powerful person, but that Yue Ye is not easy to deal with."

"Did you see it?" He put up his robe and entered the door with a smile, and said as he walked, "Yue Kun has seen all directions with his eyes and ears, and he has been on the road for a long time, just like the Beijing Youzi we said, his mind is as big as a sieve. , You can go to Suifenhe Renshi if you can play. This time, the Sorentu was introduced, but we couldn’t figure out our origin, borrowed other people’s influence, and spread our own goods. Do you think Sorentu can have such a solid foundation? Out of a hundred strong men? Isn’t it all about Yue Kun’s name! He only takes [-]% of his seriousness, while those with the surname Yue account for [-]%, I’ve figured it out a long time ago.”

"Then this Yue Kun is really calm enough to watch a large deal by himself and ask others to top the tank, so he is not afraid of ruining it?" She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Besides, since we can't figure out our origin, It’s time to push it steadily. If they are successful in this industry, they may not be successful, but if they lose, they will definitely lose. Is it worth taking such a big risk for 1000 taels of silver?”

Hong Ce nodded, "Everyone, be more careful. Don't be afraid of [-] yuan, just in case. Maybe if you make things difficult, things will be difficult to handle."

Sitting in the armchair, Ding Yi felt emotional, "I remember the last time Qi Ye took out the money for the bird and the slider, and he recognized 3000 taels for three tricks. Look at this comparison, a person is not worth as much as a mule. Young and young Man, it's only ten taels of silver, it's embarrassing to think about it!"

Hongce said: "Ninggu Pagoda lacks everything, but there is no shortage of slaves. Those who have committed serious crimes from all over the country are exiled here. Those people are not only themselves, but some crimes reach the whole family. Once they are demoted, they become a family. People are not stupid, picking young women and people... That, is intermarriage, to have children. The children are still slaves when they land, just like a banner family has children, and pass them down from generation to generation."

"Can you also start a family? It's not bad that a bannerman's son can live alone."

He laughed and said: "How can there be such a good thing! Slaves are criminals, and their sons are good citizens, so they can become officials. These female slaves are locked up in one place when they are pregnant. After giving birth, they pull the children alone. The father of the child is almost Can't see each other. Get married again next year, conceive again, and it will continue like this."

How is that any different than breeding cattle?Dingyi was stunned for a while, and sighed: "My nanny is so kind, I have to go to her grave to kowtow a few more times when I go back. If it weren't for her, I would be in the same situation as them now, and I wouldn't have met you."

Just as he was talking, Ha just came in from the outside, and said with lowered hands: "Returning to the master, the slave found out the place where Ahha was hiding. , the barracks became vacant. It’s just that the slave didn’t understand it a little bit. It is said that Yue Kun is such a prudent person, so he was careless in doing things this time. Although he didn’t let us see him, he just turned back and stood outside the shed. You have to be clear. Ahha is all vacated from the Ningguta camp, not only exiles, but also exile soldiers."

This was unexpected, and Hongce said in surprise, "There are soldiers? It's too courageous."

Ha Gang said, "The exiles were not pawns in the battalion, and they were bullied by the veterans. Most of the family members are not well-off, so who can redress their grievances?" Some have their tongues cut off and are not called to speak, and the dumb work is still done, and the price is not lower than that of the good hands. Whether the surname Yue was negligent or intentionally disclosed, this is hard to say, but Suo Luntu can be involved in a circle. What is it for?"

Hongce stood up and walked around the room, thinking: "Since that's the case, we'll see whether it's an enemy or a friend. I'll keep staring at it for the past two days..." He lowered his head and fiddled with the blessing and longevity jade plaque on his waist, and murmured, "What's the matter?" I'm afraid it's not that simple. No one in Suifenhe can tell the origin of a person like Yue Kundu. Did he fall from the sky? No way! He looks more like a Central Plains person in terms of facial features and behavior. Go find out. It's unknown if he's going to find out all the details about him, or if he's hiding behind his back."

Ha Gang took the order and went, he turned back to look at Ding Yi, seeing her frowning, he was relieved, "It's not a big deal, show me a smile."

He stood facing her, reaching out and shaking her arm.She was a little absent-minded, saying that there was something wrong with that Yue Kun, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.He was just inexplicably worried, and said in a low voice: "The one surnamed Yue struck up a conversation with me earlier, and he spoke in a weird way, so I thought he was very rich. You have to be careful when dealing with him, and don't let him plot."

He raised his eyebrows, "What did he tell you? Did he take advantage of you?"

This person is very small-minded now, and he can get involved in this even if he is good.She said no, "They don't know that I'm a woman, so what's the advantage? Actually, I didn't say anything, just the old way, asking how old I am, where do I come from, that's all."

He hummed, and said in a low voice: "Daiqin went back to Ninggu Pagoda to dispatch troops, and then arrested everyone, no matter whether he is a Buddha or a demon, if he is in my hands, I will not worry about him not confessing."

She stared blankly at him, "Hit? Hit until he opens his mouth?"

He squinted and said: "It's also a way. It used to be like this in Khalkha. The people there are fierce and hard to deal with. If you ask him softly, they won't look at you. At that time, I was arrogant, not like now. Be patient, if you can't ask why, you will be punished, don't be in a hurry, some people are tyrannical, so you have to wear him down like this."

So she felt that she didn't know him well. He was sent to Mongolia since he was a child, and ten years later he was still crowned prince in Jin Dynasty. How could he be a person who could see the bottom line at a glance.No matter how easy to talk on the surface, he has his own calculations in his heart.He is just kind and not to be bullied. Sometimes when facing him, people are unrealistic in front of our eyes, because we can see the surface but not the bottom of the heart.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, he put a smile on his face again, and shook her lightly, "What's the matter, did you scare you?"

She shook her head, "No, just worry."

He smiled and said: "You women are like this, so men don't dare to go home when they encounter problems outside. To be honest, a deficit as big as a sesame seed will become a hole the size of a fist in your mouth. I save it, and I have handled a lot of cases." , There are rules and regulations for running errands in the officialdom, I am not alone in fighting the tiger, and there are many people who share the burden."

She thought of the master they had left in Ninggu Tower, and asked him jokingly, "You mean Master Qi?"

He laughed, "Seventh Lord? It's okay. I earn half of the meritorious service here, and if something goes wrong, he has to take responsibility."

She didn't dare to imagine Qi Ye's current situation, so she shrank her neck and muttered: "I ran out this trip secretly, will he break my leg when I go back? Qi Ye hated me so much that his teeth were itchy, so I won't do it if I don't deal with it." Strange."

He said nothing, turned to look at the lanterns, the lamps had been lit for a long time, and flat balls formed on the top, which flickered on and off, shaped like shrunken ganoderma lucidum.The flame danced violently, he held the scissors up to pierce, a frail cluster of flames picked up on the tip of the knife, gradually cooled down, and turned into a black corpse.He waved his hand, threw the cluster of lanterns far away, turned around and put the scissors back to the original place, and wrote lightly: "I really want to hate you so much that I cut off your registration. He doesn't want the feather flag, I don't want it. I can't ask for it."

He has his own considerations, and Ding Yi feels that sometimes he does too much, since he has his heart set on Twelfth Lord, he is very capable and will never let her be wronged.

There was a call from the waiter outside the door, saying that the food was ready, and asked whether the men would bring it to the house or use it freely in the lobby.Dingyi listened to what he wanted, and he lazily said: "There are too many people in the living room, it's too noisy to eat well. Let them bring it in, let's have a good meal and have an early rest, I'm tired."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at her in a fluttering manner, and the wind in his eyes was full of twists and turns, and he was about to say something.Dingyi's face was burning hot, and he hurriedly turned to tell the waiter as he wanted. After handing over the words, he stood in front of the door at a loss as to what to do. He pursed his lips and smiled, and asked her in a warm voice whether she was hungry, and sighed seeing her dull look, "You You're still afraid of me, and you don't really like me."

She hastily said no, and said with a shy smile: "This is too much to say, I don't know who I like in my heart!"

"Then do you like me or not?" He leaned closer, enlarged his handsome face, and reflected the bright candlelight on the desk in his eyes.He took her hand and asked her again and again, "Do you like me? Well, do you like me?"

Dingyi was so pestered by him that he covered his face and said, "I shouldn't ask you this question. How can a man go after him and ask others if he likes him or not!"

She covered her face well, and covered her entire face with her palms, leaving only her bright red lips exposed between the heels of her palms.With a thought, he leaned forward and kissed him, pestering him in every possible way, "Then you ask me, why don't you ever ask me?"

"If you have the heart to ask someone? Can't you tell me?" She turned around, her heart beating like a drum.This question has actually troubled her for a long time, so she couldn't open her mouth.There is a person in my heart, so there is no need to talk about it all the time, and when it becomes a habit, the feeling will fade.So I would rather he hide it, the longer it hides, the more precious it becomes.

He was amused in his heart, he has done so many childish and ridiculous things these days, robbing the seventh child, sneaking around behind his back, the amount of stupid things he has done in this life is not as much as this time.How else to express it, I almost dug my heart out.He is considered to be the more restrained among the brothers, and his determination of a person's likes and dislikes does not happen overnight. It is not his habit to say love blindly, but once he shows it in action, it means that he has decided and will not change it easily.However, she is not him, and the time of acquaintance is neither short nor long, and she still has concerns about him.

He organized his words and wanted to tell her how much he liked her. By coincidence, the shop assistant came in with wine and food, and three or four people came in one file at a time. They brought eight large bowls of halal.Go over and see, such stewed mutton and braised yak meat are all the dishes of the Hui people in this area.

Dingyi saw that the table was so richly arranged, he clapped his hands and said: "People here are good at eating, and the 29th of the twelfth lunar month is such a handicraft, what are you going to eat on the night of the New Year's Eve?"

Just as I was about to sit down, the waiter at the back brought wine jugs and wine glasses, and put them down one by one, three glasses and three pairs of chopsticks.Dingyi was puzzled, Ha Gang and the others had all been thrown out, how could there be one more person?Just as he was about to ask, a long leg came in from outside the door. The black cloud leopard's cloak, and the gold and silver silk embroidery on the corners of the robe with four slits inside were shining brightly. When he looked up, it was the seventh master!

Both of them were stunned, why did he come here?The Twelfth Master felt helpless, he had been busy for a long time starting from finding out the bottom line of the market, and when it was time to collect the net, this stubborn master came, and it was true to say that he is a blessed person.

Seventh Master untied the inlaid collar, and glanced at them from above, "Okay, come here, Gao Le is here, and leave me alone in Ninggu Pagoda to dig people to death. Old Twelve, you have a good plan."

Hong Ce disliked him, and he wasn't afraid to show it to his face.I couldn't get used to his frivolous appearance, but he came here to find a run, who could blame him?

He pointed to the seat, "Since you're here, take a seat, Seventh Brother! I can't afford Gao Le. I'm here to handle a case, not just to watch the scenery."

"Then what are you doing behind my back?" He glanced at Mu Xiaoshu and nodded with his finger. "The person who kidnapped me sneaked away before dawn. If you don't know, you should think you eloped!" Seeing her standing stupidly He was so angry that he said, "Sit down, white-eyed wolf, poking your feet comfortably? If my people hadn't found out that Lu Yuan was ordered to dispatch troops, I wouldn't have known that Prince He Shuochun had come to Suifenhe... oh , let me ask you, are you ashamed to treat me at all? It’s in vain that I treat you so well!”

Dingyi had nothing to say, and nodded his head like a pounding garlic, "I am sorry for my master, I am ashamed to see you."

What does this mean, no remorse at all?Seventh Master stared blankly, ignored her, turned his head and asked Elder Twelve, "What's the matter, is there any clue to the case?"

Hong Ce put aside his personal grievances for the time being, and explained the whole incident from beginning to end, including the news about Ha Gang's return, and told Qi Ye. Qi Ye sipped his wine and said, "We should find out the origin of this person. , It doesn't look like it's against the enemy, maybe it's someone under someone who put it in the market to mix it up, so as to inform the outside world."

Hong Ce said yes, "I have already sent people to watch it. If it is my own, I will definitely not wrong him. I am afraid that it is a fake trick by an expert, and there are too many intentions to do this business!"

Qi Ye hummed, "Just like you? Looks like a good man, doing nothing but trivial things?"

Who is this talking about?Hong Ce was stunned by his reply, and immediately felt both exasperated and ridiculous.Regardless of inconsistency, who can compare to him?This master is good, he comes up to put a big hat on others, and he just opens his mouth to make trouble.With a helpless expression on his face, he poured him a glass of wine. After deliberation, he had to reiterate some words, so he said patiently: "Seventh brother is a man who knows things, and sometimes it is a gentleman's generosity to take a step back. Knowing that it is not feasible Wouldn't it be foolish to still stick to the horns of a dead end?"

"Don't play stereotyped articles with me." Qi Ye replied quite proudly, and turned to Xiao Shu and said, "Shu'er, eat quickly, and go to your room when you are full. There is no room for such a big prince." Don't think about it, just take three rooms if you say three rooms, who are you fooling? Our tree is careless, don't bully her to be honest. The old man and the girl squeeze a kang, what do you want to do? I'm here today If you don't come, don't you... huh?"

Dingyi wished he could dig a hole and bury his head. It was a thought-provoking thing at first, but it became like this when Qi Ye said it.

Hong Ce was also blushed and thick necked by him, "Seventh brother's words..."

Qi Ye stretched out his hand, "I'm talking in human language, I don't think you can't understand. Don't be ashamed if you say it right, and don't worry about it if you say it wrong. Men and women are different. When you should avoid suspicion, you have to avoid it. Read Confucius and Mencius, who have lived for so many years, don’t know this truth? You almost became a sinner, or I rescued you in dire straits, don’t thank me, it should be, who made us brothers!”

He is just a messy master, Hongce is so depressed that he can't get over it, Wang Dingyi picks up the food in a muffled voice, and doesn't eat anything, both of them are at odds with him.He wanted to refute, but he was afraid that she would be more embarrassing, so he finally restrained himself.

Dingyi couldn't stay any longer, so he quickly got rid of it.In fact, I was also angry in my heart, how many times, she and the twelfth master fell in love and the seventh master came to disrupt the situation. He didn't like her, he clearly had a grudge against her.She didn't wait to see him, she wiped her mouth and stood up, glaring at Qi Ye with a tiger's face, Qi Ye shrank back, "What are you doing, you want to eat me? It's against you!"

She didn't care about that, and asked, "How many rooms do you want?"

He said: "I chased away one person, so I took a single room. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I'll change it with you. I'll sleep with the old twelve tonight."

The corner of Twelfth Master's mouth twitched, "Little Kang."

"It's okay, I sleep well." Seventh Master smiled, and spoke in a soft voice, "Shu'er, are you tired from getting up too early? I need a basin of hot water to wash and go to rest earlier, be good. "

Dingyi's anger surged like a mountain, and he roared under his throat, "I love Twelfth Lord!" He turned around and went out.

Qi Ye was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.Waiting to understand, he almost didn't get down, "This shameless girl, dare to throw face at the master? Pain her, spoil her so much..." Turning to look at the old twelve, the boy was overjoyed , the appearance of holding the wine cup was extremely hateful, and he felt even more uncomfortable, "It's all crazy, she caught cold on the way, and her brain was burned, and she turned around and asked a doctor to prescribe two doses of medicine, and it will be fine after two days of drinking. Love the Twelfth Master, love the Twelfth Master... Is this what a girl should say? Children, you know what love!"

In fact, Dingyi didn't go far, and didn't care about the astonished gazes of Seventh Master Geshha, he put his ear on the door curtain and listened to the wall, and heard Twelfth Master say: "Seventh Brother, let's discuss it!"

Qi Ye was very annoyed, but he still saved face, "Say it."

"How many Fujins are there in your house?"

"One side Fujin, three Shufu Jin." Qi Ye said, "Why are you asking about this?"

The Twelfth Master changed his tone more earnestly, "Seventh brother, can't you feel sorry for your brother? My brother is 24 years old, and there is no one in charge in the house, and you just see me live so lonely? You have four Fujins anyway. One more is not too much, one less is not much, so what about brother Jean Rang? Xiaoshu used to be bitter, I want to treat her well, there is no other woman in Prince Jin's mansion, and she will not be squeezed when she enters the door. Your place is already There are four of them, and each of them occupies the mountain as the king, and it is not good to divide anyone's land, so why bother to cause internal strife!"

Qi Ye probably also thought about it seriously, and paused for a while before saying: "I'll buy a house outside to accommodate her, so there won't be trouble."

The Twelfth Master put down the wine cup with a knock, "You try to fight with me just to let her be a foreign house? Who is worse than your family, and she has to hide from people?"

Qi Ye seems to have never thought about this question, "Then what's the matter, her background is there, it may not be easy to enter the mansion openly..."

The Twelfth Master sneered: "If you really love her, there are not so many taboos, and I won't say much about it. I only have one sentence for Brother Seven to understand. If I want to welcome her, I must carry a big sedan chair into the mansion through the main entrance. Brother Seven can Let her take the position of Fujin and come back to compete with my brothers. At that time, we will each rely on our own abilities. Even if I lose, I will lose convincingly. If you are just on a whim, brother advises you to think twice, and the woman who has been robbed by all means can be taken as a concubine at will I will think that you intend to target me, and then the siblings will quarrel, and it will not be good to hurt the brotherhood."

Ding Yi's nose was sour when he heard it outside, Twelfth Master did this with his intentions, as long as Seventh Master nods, no matter who wins or loses, she will not be able to escape from the position of Fujin.But what kind of situation she is in, forcing her is just an unreasonable idea.She took this kind of love from him, and she said earlier that she was willing to follow him even if she had no name or title, because he valued him as a person, and he treated her sincerely.

He thought that Qi Ye would have nothing to say this time, because he couldn't afford the reserve price, it was wise to retreat in spite of difficulties.Who knows that he doesn't, Qi Ye is so maverick, he slapped his chest and said: "You dare to pay such a price, how can you know that I can't? It's a deal, and she is agreed to be the concubine. Whoever repents before the battle will be the one!" Turtle bastard!"

Ding Yi was shocked into a cold sweat, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground.
