Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ding Yunyi really didn't expect that he was just passing through Suzhou, but so many things happened.

    It¡¯s time to fight bandits and get a wife. If we stay here any longer, something might happen.

    The next day, Deng Muzhi made great fanfare and sent someone to deliver a total of 30,000 taels of silver as "salary aid" from the Suzhou gentry.

    Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t know how much Suzhou¡¯s ¡°salary assistance¡± was, but he only felt that 30,000 taels of silver was already a lot.  How could he have guessed that Deng Mu's lion opened his mouth and extorted 100,000 taels of silver in one fell swoop. He, Deng Fuzun, got a full 70,000 taels of silver without any effort.

    It was inconvenient to carry more than 30,000 silver, so Ding Yunyi simply stayed in Suzhou and gave it to Jiang Danguang to help him manage it.  I had heard Wang Chengen say before that Jiang Danguang was a righteous businessman and had the gift of a horse, so I thought it would be safe to leave it to him.

    But there is another trouble. The people sent by Deng Muzhi to the capital to propose marriage have already set off, but it takes time to go back and forth. If the father wants to go back to the capital to get married, it will be even more troublesome.

    Ding Yunyi has been out for a long time. He is thinking about Taiwan and Penghu and always wants to go back as soon as possible.

    As for the wedding ceremony, he doesn¡¯t care, he has to think of a way

    Within two days, rumors suddenly spread in Suzhou city that pirates had united with the red barbarians to invade Taiwan on a large scale.  Ding Yunyi hurried to Deng Muzhi's place and said that Taiwan was his foundation and he could not allow any loss. He originally wanted to wait here for his parents in the capital to agree, but because of the high trust of the court and the responsibility, he had no choice but to return to Taiwan first.

    Who would have thought that Deng Muzhi would be more impatient than him.  Lian said that the duties of the court were important and that marriage was nothing more than a personal matter.  Taiwan is the focus.  Then the conversation changed and he said that he didn't care about his face for the sake of Taiwan and the imperial court, so he let his sister and Ding Yunyi get married in Suzhou. Everything was provided and Ding Yunyi didn't have to worry about it. After the wedding, he would see off his brother-in-law and sister in person.

    This is the news that the pirates have joined forces with the red barbarians to invade Taiwan.  Ding Yunyi originally sent Duan San'er and others to break the news in order to return to Taiwan as soon as possible, but who would have thought that Deng Muzhi would actually do this.  Deng Muzhi treated himself like this.  I really feel sorry for others.

    But he never thought that Ding Yunyi was just a small evil by spreading rumors and deceiving others, but Deng Muzhi was a big traitor.

    turn out to be.  Deng Muzhi heard the news that Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, was about to fall.

    As soon as Wen Tiren gained power, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge. He was bound to retaliate, and there were people everywhere in the court who were dissatisfied with him.  Even those scholars hate him very much.

    But Chongzhen trusted him very much, and his political opponents could not bring him down no matter what.

    However, news came later that Wang Chengen was assassinated in Hangzhou, and Wen Tiren was involved. There were even rumors that those assassins were sent by Wen Tiren.

    Chongzhen finally became suspicious.  Cao Huachun, the chief eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, was sent to conduct a secret investigation.

    Cao Huachun is not someone to be trifled with.  The Li Jian he was in charge of was a key department around the emperor.  Many of the powerful eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty came from this department.  Moreover, the Supervisor of Ceremonies has always had conflicts with the cabinet over power control.  Wen Tiren wanted to take the opportunity to suppress and attack the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but unexpectedly Emperor Chongzhen showed Wen Tiren's secret memorandum to Cao Huachun.  Cao Huachun was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.  Wen Tirenjing wants to get rid of him!  If you don¡¯t do one, you won¡¯t stop!

    Since Wen Tiren wants to get rid of him, he can use the Hangzhou assassin case to get rid of this person!

    The Chief of Ceremony and the Cabinet face off!

    It offended Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, two eunuchs who held great power and were deeply trusted by Chongzhen.  The cabinet has almost no chance of winning.

    This will be a hardship for Deng Muzhi.  After Wen Tiren gained power, Deng Muzhi deliberately flattered him and sent people to investigate in the capital. Needless to say, during the holidays, but on Wen Tiren's birthday, he took concubines, and Wen Tiren even recovered from a minor illness.  People from the capital of Deng Mu sent heavy gifts to the capital to congratulate him. As soon as he came and went, he won Wen Tiren's favor.

    But now Wen Tiren is about to collapse.  When Wen Tiren fell, as a close confidant of Deng Mu, how could he not be implicated?

    Fortunately, God sent Ding Yunyi to him, which was equivalent to saving Deng Muzhi's life!  As long as his sister and Ding Yunyi get married, they will be relatives. Wang Chengen will not be too embarrassed at this level.

    Thinking about it this way, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you have face or not. The nights are long and the dreams are many. The sooner the two get married, the better.

    Deng Muzhi did what he said and immediately sent out invitations to all the prominent people in Suzhou to attend the wedding banquet. He also made it clear that he, Deng Muzhi, was an upright official. Although he was marrying his sister, he would never accept any congratulatory gifts.  If anyone refuses to obey and insists on giving a gift, he will hit him with a big stick!

    "You must act fair and honest when dealing with small amounts of money. This is the only way to become corrupt."

      When he did this, not only Ding Yunyi was greatly praised, but even the Suzhou elders praised him. They only felt that Deng Fuzun was the most honest official since the Ming Dynasty, even compared with Hai Rui, he was no less generous.

    After finding out the "reason" why Deng Muzhi hurriedly married his sister, the Suzhou elders were even more amazed.  The great Confucians of the Deng family had strict rules and regulations, but for the sake of the imperial court, Master Deng even abandoned these rules. Although it was rude, but as an official, he was truly the most loyal minister in the world.

    Suzhou gentry were all impressed. Deng Muzhi's image was even greater in their hearts. Cao Yanhuan even wrote an article to commemorate this room.

    Deng Mu¡¯s hasty marriage to his sister not only did not damage his reputation, but instead became famous among Jiangnan scholars and was hailed as a good story.

    How could these people have imagined that this "honest official and loyal minister" in their minds would be the most traitorous and poisonous person since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

    Within two days, all the elders and elders in Suzhou worked hard and looked forward to the wedding.

    There are faces and faces in the local area, all attended, without exception.  Some people tried to send betrothal gifts, but Deng Muzhi's face turned serious and he repeatedly declared that he would never accept any betrothal gifts. The gift-giver was so impressed that he could only take back the betrothal gifts.

    The groom¡¯s official Ding Yunyi came out to meet the guests, and everyone congratulated them. They felt that it was a perfect match for a beauty to match a hero. Ding Yunyi, Deng Muzhi and Deng Lianyu must have left a lasting legend in the city of Suzhou.

    It¡¯s a lot of fun.  Deng Muzhi suddenly asked people to bring in the desk table and the Four Treasures of the Study. No one knew what it meant.

    Deng Muzhi cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, this time the bandits invaded our Suzhou, it was all thanks to the Taiwanese generals, the commander of Shangqingche, and the Zhaowu generals Ding Yunyi and Ding Xiangwen to defeat the bandits and protect the entire territory of Suzhou. Then the Japanese government stood  On the city tower, I saw Ding Canrong leading the way, with the battle flag flying behind him. I imagine that Ding Canrong will leave Suzhou after getting married. How can we survive if the bandits attack again"

    As soon as he said this, everyone was whispering.  They all felt that Lord Fu Zun was worried.

    Deng Muzhi looked solemn: "Since Ding Canrong has become my brother-in-law, I will not be polite to you. That day on the city tower, when I saw the bandits, I was frightened when they saw the banner of 'Martial, brave, loyal, fierce, tiger and guard'. They fled.  I know that this big flag is a gift from the Holy One, but I don't dare to think about it, but I want to ask my brother-in-law to leave a calligraphy treasure here with only three words, "Hu Ben Wei" and then make it into a big flag and put it in Suzhou.  From now on, no rogues will dare to invade the city tower!  "

    All the guests immediately applauded.

    It¡¯s just a pain for Ding Yunyi.  It's hard to say whether the bandits would be frightened when they saw the big flag, but Ding Shenrong was really frightened.

    Although Ding Yunyi learned calligraphy when he was a child, he also practiced it specially at this time.  But wouldn't it mean to make a fool of yourself if you wanted to leave a "calligraphy treasure" in front of so many people?

    ¡°Half of the people here are scholars. Which one of them can¡¯t write better than me?

    "Brother-in-law, please remember that he is my son-in-law in Suzhou. Don't refuse." Deng Muzhi smiled and invited Ding Yunyi to the table.

    Ding Shenrong is galloping across the battlefield, killing people without blinking an eye.  The pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of me were frightening. The pen in my hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

    With a strong heart and gritted teeth, it is like rushing into a dragon's pond and a tiger's den single-handedly.  Just as the wind rustles and the water becomes cold, the warrior once gone will never return, leaving behind his own "calligraphy treasure": Tiger Guard!

    Putting down the pen, he breathed a long sigh of relief, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. In the future, these three words will be made into a big flag and hung on the Suzhou city tower all day long. It will be a shame for him to be thrown from Taiwan to Suzhou.

    Deng Muzhi was overjoyed and ordered his people to show the calligraphy to everyone. There was another round of admiration.

    Cao Yanhuan considered it for a while, then shook his head: "Though the three characters "Ding Shenrong" are a little loose in the pen holder, the pen is written with energy and strength on the paper. It really shows the style of a general. Good, good!"

    Even the famous scholar Cao Yanhuan said this, so this word must be good, and praises abounded.

    In fact, Cao Yanhuan did not tell lies.  These three words of Ding Yunyi have no value at all in terms of penholder and artistic conception, but he was born as a martial artist, so it is true that there is a distinct martial style in these three words.

    Deng Mu was so happy that he hurriedly asked people to put it away carefully.

    "Any flag made to scare bandits is all fake. Deng Muzhi's idea was that these three words might be of great use in the future.  Everything he did and every word he said was thoughtful.

    After the excitement for a while, Deng Muzhi urged Ding Yunyi to enter the bridal chamber quickly. It looked like he was more anxious than the groom.

    Ding Yunyi entered the bridal chamber amidst the roar of laughter from everyone.  I have been married before, but at least Axi and Han Xiaoxiao look very good.I knew this, but I was confused about what the bride looked like.

    As soon as you enter the bridal chamber, you can see the bride¡¯s red headband moving, and a low sound of sobbing could be heard. Could it be that the bride has been crying until now?

    Come to think of it, I am going back to Taiwan with you tomorrow. How can you not be sad if a girl who was born and raised in Suzhou suddenly goes to a strange environment, sometimes a place like Taiwan that is considered a barbaric land by most people?  ?

    Hearing someone coming in, the bride stopped crying and sat there motionless.

    Ding Yunyi took off the red hat and saw his first wife for the first time.

    Although her appearance cannot be compared with that of Chen Yuanyuan and Han Xiaoxiao, she is dignified, handsome and full of the lightness of Suzhou women.

    It¡¯s not bad for a woman like this to be your own wife.

    Her eyes were stained with tears. Looking at them under the candlelight, she became more and more charming and lovable.

    "Husband." Deng Lianyu stood up: "I will bring you some water to wash your face."

    When she turned around, Ding Yunyi noticed that she quietly wiped her tears

    Face wash water was brought, and Ding Yunyi wiped his face while waiting, and then changed the water for scalding feet.

    Then, Deng Lianyu squatted down and untied Ding Yunyi's boots.

    Ding Yunyi was startled and said quickly: "No, no, I will do it myself, I will do it myself."

    "This is what I should do." Deng Lianyu was a little stubborn: "If my husband refuses and spreads the word, I will be said to be unruly, ignorant of etiquette, and it will not look good on my husband."

    Ding Yunyi reluctantly let her go.

    After a tiring day, it is really a great pleasure to put your feet in the water with the right temperature and soak it.  Ding Yunyi suddenly said: "Madam, I still have two concubines in Taiwan. In Suzhou, there is also someone named Chen Yuanyuan who I want to take back with me this time. Do you know this?"

    Deng Lianyu nodded silently.

    Ding Yunyi sighed in his heart, it was not easy for this woman.  Suddenly, he saw Deng Lianyu turning his head and wiping the corners of his eyes. Ding Yunyi saw this and said, "Taiwan is not as prosperous as Suzhou and is more of a wild place. If you really don't want to go, then stay in Suzhou.  When there is some weather there, I will send someone to pick you up."

    Deng Lianyu panicked when she heard this: "Excuse me, husband, that's not what I meant. When you marry, you will follow. Wherever your husband goes, I will always follow him. I don't dare to complain at all."

    Ding Yunyi frowned: "I've seen you crying since I came in, but what else do you have to do?"

    Deng Lianyu was silent for a while, not wanting to deceive her husband, she told the story about the Deng family and the Lu family in Changshu - < Piaotian Literature registered members recommended this work > .

    Ding Yunyi also heard about this past incident, and once asked Deng Muzhi whether he was willing to do things that bully men and dominate women. However, Deng Muzhi told him that Lu Yanhan was dead, and he felt relieved.

    But looking at Deng Lianyu¡¯s appearance, she seemed to be very sad for Lu Yanhan.

    Deng Lianyu suddenly said: "Husband, don't worry, since Lianyu is your wife, she will always abide by women's ethics and dare not have any inappropriate thoughts.

    ¡°That¡¯s what I said, but Ding Yunyi always felt a little awkward.

    This is clearly a political marriage. I have never met Deng Lianyu, and Deng Lianyu has never met me. The two of them became husband and wife inexplicably.

    What makes Ding Yunyi even more troublesome is that that dead ghost Lu Yanhan always makes Ding Yunyi feel sick.

    After drying her feet, Deng Lianyu poured water. She was about to help her husband go to bed when she suddenly saw that Ding Yunyi was already fully dressed and stood up: "Madam, you can go to bed first. I'll go outside and take a look."

    Deng Lianyu was stunned, thinking that she had done something wrong to make her husband unhappy.  But he saw Ding Yunyi walking out and saying with a smile: "I will always make you willing to be my wife. Although it is not possible today, our days are still long."!  ~!
