- Two hundred and eighteen cavalry defeated the bandit army. Suzhou officials, gentry and people were shocked to see Ding Yunyi as a man of heaven!
Deng Muzhi was also secretly afraid. Fortunately, he did not run away first, otherwise the image he had worked so hard for so many years would have been completely ruined. Seeing that Ding Yunyi returned to the city after winning the victory, he brought a group of officials and gentry to greet him at the city gate. As soon as he saw Ding Yunyi, he bowed his head and said, "It is unheard of to defeat an enemy of five thousand with two hundred cavalry. Even though Sun Wu and Rang Ju were resurrected, This is no longer the case. Suzhou was saved thanks to the contribution of Shen Rong. Please accept Deng¡¯s thanks!¡±
Ding Yunyi quickly jumped off his horse: "It was just a fluke. Without the fighting between Suzhou's soldiers and civilians, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to achieve such a victory."
Everyone knows that Ding Yunyi is being humble. The Suzhou army and people did not contribute much to this killing. But seeing that this soldier was both capable of fighting and yet so humble, everyone couldn't help but feel happy and felt that Ding Yunyi was approachable.
Deng Muzhi asked Bai Ningcheng to clean the battlefield and capture the prisoners. Bai guerrillas were greedy for life and feared death, but he was most comfortable doing these things.
Deng Muzhi asked his subordinates to arrange for Ding Yunyi's cavalry to rest and eat. He and a group of officials and gentry accompanied Ding Yunyi, Huangfu Yunjie, Hou Lu and other cavalry generals to the largest restaurant in Suzhou to hold a banquet to celebrate his victory.
Although Hou Lu is only nineteen years old, starting from Linquan, he has been promoted to the position of the foreign affairs committee commander one after another. Although he is a ninth-grade official, he can still manage Ding Yunyi's inspection duties that day. That is to say, promotion is the fastest on the battlefield. In peacetime, the powerless have to wait for several years.
During the banquet, Deng Muzhi flattered Ding Yunyi for a while. Suddenly the conversation changed: "Everyone, Ding Shenrong fought hard this time to save Suzhou, so help is always indispensable. You have already collected it and sent it to me. Sir Shenrong, please don't be polite."
What he said was absolutely true.
Although one hundred thousand taels of silver is a large amount, it is not difficult to get it all together if there are so many gentry and businessmen in Suzhou who each contribute part of it. The money was delivered to Deng Muzhi's official residence that day.
Deng Muzhi was the first to say "help with wages" to avoid others mentioning it. He would not swallow all the one hundred thousand taels of silver by himself. A sum of thirty to fifty thousand taels must be allocated to cover up the truth for Ding Yunyi. He did not tell the specific amount of silver, and others did not pay attention. In addition, he has a reputation as an "upright official" and his family has been filled with great scholars for generations. Everyone is convinced, who would doubt that he could embezzle money?
Just wait until Ding Yunyi leaves Suzhou and think of a way not to let the gentry and businessmen meet Ding Yunyi from now on. When it comes to this matter, once Ding Yunyi leaves here, Taiwan and Suzhou are far apart, and this matter will be done in a mysterious way. Unconscious.
"These gentry and businessmen, including Ding Yunyi, never thought that Deng Muzhi would do such a thing, and they would have to use their brains. These people are far different from Deng Muzhi.
Ding Yunyi also knew that he was a "foreign army". The foreign army helped the locals defend the city. After repelling the enemies, the locals gave a sum of money as a thank you, which was called "salary support". It was something I was accustomed to, and I wasn't polite at the time.
Deng Muzhi knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so he immediately changed the subject again: "But how can a little money express my gratitude to Suzhou? After much thought, I have only one way. Ding Canrong is dedicated to serving the court and has not yet married. I have a biological sister. , I am already eighteen years old this year. I am still waiting to be married. It¡¯s not that my sister is ugly and no one wants her. On the contrary, my sister Lianyu is dignified and well-educated. To thank Ding Shenrong for protecting me in Suzhou, Deng is willing to use my sister as my sister. I offer her to Shenrong as my wife, and I will serve Shenrong on his side. Please accept her with a smile!"
Ding Yunyi was completely stunned.
I¡¯m afraid I heard it wrong. Did Deng Muzhi give his biological sister as his wife?
There were also whispers in the restaurant. Deng Fuzun¡¯s announcement was so sudden that no one was mentally prepared.
There was a man named Cao Yanhuan nearby who was a well-known local scholar. He was also a good friend of Deng Muzhi¡¯s father. He knew about the Deng family¡¯s affairs and pulled Deng Muzhi away at that time: ¡°Xunliu, you need to think clearly. Your father has already Lianyu was betrothed to the Lu family in Changshu. Although the Lu family was in decline, his son Lu Yanhan was still there. If Lu Yanhan came to marry Lianyu in the future, your Deng family's reputation would be tarnished. With all due respect, this matter needs careful consideration. Can."
"Mr. Wumei, how come I don't know the pros and cons?" Deng Muzhi pretended to wipe his eyes: "Last year, I got the bad news that Lu Yanhan was seriously ill and had passed away. I was afraid that my sister would grieve, so I kept it secret. Hey, Poor Lu Yanhan, I originally wanted to support him with a sum of money so that he could study peacefully and gain fame and marry Lianyu in the future. "
"Poor, pitiful." Cao Yanhuan also sighed repeatedly: "Fortunately, the two of them have never been married. Otherwise, the martyr girl will not have two husbands. Such a thing can still be handled, but has Lianyu ever been willing?"
"Yes, of course"Satisfied. "Deng Muzhi said: "Ding Shenrong is an immortal hero, so Lianyu betrothed her, which is also her blessing. It's just that Mr. Wu Mei was asked to mediate on this matter. "
Cao Yanhuan nodded. Although Ding Yunyi was a military general and was incompatible with scholars like himself, the Ming Dynasty produced many Confucian generals who were scholars. Ding Yunyi's father was the famous Ding Yuanzhao, so he was not bad at learning. In addition, Ding Yunyi has received the favor of the saint. If he can facilitate this marriage, not only will the Ding family and the Deng family be grateful to him, but maybe the saint far away in the capital will look at him differently if he knows about it.
Thinking of this, he stood up and asked everyone to quiet down: "Originally, this matter should be negotiated privately with a matchmaker. Discussing marriage in such a place is not in line with our status and is insulting to the civilized people. But Ding Shenrong saved Suzhou. He is my great benefactor in Suzhou, even if he is polite and sweeps the floor, he will never do it again. "
There was a burst of laughter in the restaurant. Suzhou was full of culture, with Shen Baishi at the front and Tang Bohu at the back. They were all talented and suave people. Now when talking about matchmaking here, the use of "gentle and sweeping" is also a joke.
When the laughter subsided, Cao Yanhuan said again: "The Deng family is a family of scholars and three bachelors in the family. The Ding family has been an official in the imperial court for a long time. They are equal members of the imperial court and are well matched. I rely on my elders to sell my elders because I look at Deng's family. His younger sister, Lian Yu, was a well-educated and well-educated lady. Although Ding Shenrong joined the army, people like Tan Zili and Qi Nantang in this dynasty were all Confucian generals who were scholars. The Ding family had a strong literary style. The generals are comparable. Therefore, Lianyu and Ding Canrong are the best match. I wonder what you think about Cao Yanhuan being a good matchmaker for these two people today?
He is also interested in being a matchmaker and does not ask the parties involved. But he asked an unrelated person next to him, and the whole room immediately cheered.
Cao Yanhuan saw that a good thing had happened. Da was so proud that he turned to Ding Yunyi and said, "What does Ding Shenrong think?"
Ding Yunyi was stunned, what is going on? You are the one getting married, why are you asking now? Besides, what does Lianyu look like? Is it the same as what they said? I don't know at all.
Who are these people? The bandits have just been defeated, and they are actually worrying about their own marriage?
But at this time, Ding Yunyi is no longer the impulsive young man he was when he came to this era. He suddenly remembered what his brother-in-law Ye Yuan had said.
Sooner or later, I will marry a wife, and if I want to marry a first wife, I must be a good match. This is not only due to social trends, but more importantly. A well-matched family can give you the greatest help.
The three generations of Hanlin Academy scholars from the Deng family were the leaders of scholars in Suzhou and even the entire Jiangnan. If you want to do great things, the help of these people is absolutely indispensable. A scholar's pen cannot kill anyone. But sometimes it is more powerful than swords and guns.
¡°I have basically no influence in Jiangnan. If I really marry the daughter of the Deng family, my reputation will spread among the gentry in Jiangnan. There are many wealthy and distinguished families among these individuals. By appearing as the son-in-law of the Deng family, he can initially get rid of the impression that warriors can only lead troops to fight and gain their support. And with the support of these people, what will happen in the future? Can you take advantage of this opportunity to expand your own power in Jiangnan?
Ding Yunyi narrowed his eyes.
Cao Yanhuan took it as a rejection and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Ding Yunyi say: "It's not that Yun Yi refuses, it's just that his parents are still in the capital. How can he marry Deng Huangtang's sister?"
As soon as he heard that Ding Yunyi had relented, Deng Muzhi was overjoyed: "This is easy. Mr. Wu Mei has worked hard for me, and I must be shameless for once. Let's settle the marriage first, and then I will send a horse to the capital. Bingzhi With the permission of Minister Ding, where is this place? I am preparing the dowry while waiting for news. As soon as Minister Ding agrees, I will leave immediately and personally send Lianyu to the capital, and then hold a lively wedding in the capital."
Ding Yunyi never expected that Deng Muzhi would be so anxious. Cao Yanhuan and others kept saying yes, so Ding Yunyi had no choice but to agree.
Who would have thought that this time, my Suzhou group originally wanted to take Chen Yuanyuan back to Taiwan, but instead of repelling the bandits, they were about to get a wife inexplicably.
Thinking about the reputation of the Deng family, my father would not refuse
?¡
When Deng Muzhi returned home, he was already 70 to 80% drunk. He excitedly told his wife about the incident. Mrs. Deng Dou helped him pour tea, but she sighed and was worried about her sister-in-law.
Deng Muzhi took a sip of tea and said, "Go and fetch Lianyu."
After a while, Lianyu came out: "Brother, are you looking for me?"
"Ah, Lianyu, sit down." Deng MuzhiHe asked his sister to sit down, asked about the current situation, and suddenly sighed: "Lianyu, since my father passed away, my mother has been sad. She has been meditating behind closed doors all day long, focusing on worshiping Buddha. As an elder brother, I should have cared more about you. , When you are really busy with government affairs, you will be wronged. "
"My brother has never spoken to me like this before. Deng Lianyu was a little surprised and said hurriedly: "Brother, what are you talking about? My brother has to take care of official business and the family, so Lianyu dare not say anything wrong with him."
Deng Muzhi smiled and nodded: "Lianyu, you are already eighteen this year. Logically speaking, you should have gotten married and had children long ago, but you are still in the boudoir. Is it because of my brother"
Deng Lianyu's expression changed, and Deng Muzhi continued: "I have been helping you pay attention, but there is always no suitable one. This time the bandits invaded Suzhou, and Suzhou was saved thanks to a young hero. His name is Ding Yunyi is"
"Brother, there is no need to say any more." Deng Lianyu interrupted him: "When my father was still alive, he had betrothed me to the Lu family in Changshu. The son of the Lu family, Lu Yanhan, was still here. Lianyu was always waiting here for three years. Even Lianyu has to wait for five years, the martyr girl"
"Confused, you are confused!" Deng Muzhi also interrupted his sister: "Then what's good about the Lu family? They have been defeated for a long time, and there is no chance to turn around in this life. Are you still waiting for Lu Yanhan? Let me tell you the truth. Well, Lu Yanhan is already dead!"
"What?" Deng Lianyu's face turned pale and she couldn't believe it.
"L¨¹ Yanhan is dead. He died of poverty and illness." Deng Muzhi sighed: "I am afraid that you will be sad, so I never told you."
Deng Lianyu was stunned for a long time and burst into tears.
Deng Muzhi waited for his sister and cried for a while: "Since Lu Yanhan is dead, you have nothing to worry about. I betrothed you to Ding Canrong just for your sake. You will have someone to rely on in the future. Don't rely on your family for everything anymore." ¡±
"No!" Deng Lianyu held back her tears and was extremely firm: "Although Lianyu has not married, since her father has betrothed Lianyu, Lianyu is a member of the Lu family. Although Yanhan is not here, Lianyu is the guardian of the Lu family. I will never marry again for the rest of my life!¡±
Deng Muzhi's face gradually darkened. But suddenly he stopped, stood up, and knelt down to Deng Lianyu with a "plop": "Sister, save me! Now, I have to tell you the truth. My brother has offended the powerful people in the dynasty, and my life is in danger." . The only one who can save my brother is Ding Yunyi. Sister, if you don¡¯t care about me, don¡¯t you care about your nephew too? If my brother loses his head, your sister-in-law will lose her husband. Then there is no father!¡±
Deng Muzhi cried bitterly and begged repeatedly.
Deng Lianyu looked at her brother blankly, unable to say a word. I can guard Yanhan, but this family cannot be separated
?¡
Deng Muzhi walked out with light steps. He called his confidant Zhan Baoling to his side and lowered his voice and said: "Go to Changshu for me to handle something. Do you recognize the man named Lu Yanhan? If he doesn't die, I will always be there." I can¡¯t let go, do you know what I mean?¡±
"Yes, I understand." Zhan Baoling responded quickly.
"This must be done cleanly and without leaving any traces." Deng Muzhi looked around and carefully ordered: "When you come back after finishing the job beautifully, I will give you a small official!"
"Thank you, sir. I must have done my job cleanly."
