Li Hongzheng and a fat official from the Department of Internal Affairs were sitting in the living room of Ding Mansion. The refreshments on the table were not touched, and they were always looking out of the living room.???????
Ding Kun accompanied Ding Kui to the living room. Li Hong suddenly jumped up from his chair, rushed to the door of the living room in a few steps, and said to Ding Kui with an almost flattering smile: "This handsome young man
My brother is Ding Duhu, right?"
Ding Kui took a look at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was a few years younger than his father. His identity could be seen in the clothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which were similar to his ill-fitting official uniforms, and asked in a hesitant tone:
"Are you Mr. Zuo Duhu?"
"Oh, he is indeed the smartest person in our Department of Internal Security, second only to the director." Li Hongting knew better and did not count himself in. "I could tell who my brother was at a glance. We brothers are in the same department, and we have been the first for so many years.
We met for the first time, but my family members are my family members. You can recognize me without saying much. I am Li Hong, the Zuoduhu."
"Master Li, come inside to talk. I don't have any servants at home for now, so I'm neglecting Master Li." Ding Kui was a little surprised by Li Hong's enthusiasm.
"Anyway, Ding Duhu doesn't need to be polite to me. We don't say those things to outsiders. I know that the Protector's Mansion has been vacant for many years. You rushed back to the capital this time through the portal, and you didn't bring anyone with you.
Even those around me know this.
Come on, brother, let me introduce you. This is Director Zhou, the youngest officer in the Internal Affairs Department. He will bring a servant for you today." Li Hong took Ding Kui's hand and walked to the living room.
, introduce the fat official from the Department of Internal Affairs to Ding Kui.
"Xiaguan Zhou Ying has met Ding Duhu." Manager Zhou's eyes became slits when he smiled, and the fat on his face was trembling, "This time, Xianguan brought a reward to Ding Duhu, and Mr. Lao Li
Accompany me personally.”
The Department of Internal Affairs and the Department of Internal Health are considered to be a system. Although they do not belong to the same department, they have frequent contact with each other on weekdays. People from the two departments often meet each other and are quite familiar with each other.
Zhou Ying is an officer of the Department of Internal Affairs, and his official position is slightly lower than that of the Protector. It is not polite to call himself a subordinate.
"Excuse me, Director Zhou. Please take a seat. Mr. Li, please take a seat too." Ding Kui came to the main seat in the living room and sat down.
Only then did Li Hong notice Ding Kun behind Ding Kui. He was secretly surprised: The old man's eyes were so oppressive. I have already become a fearless knight in the late stage, and I felt a little palpitation looking at his eyes. Could it be that this old man has
The realm of level six?
Not long after Ding Kun was promoted, the murderous aura in his body skyrocketed and he had not yet completely restrained it, making Li Hong aware of the suppression of his level.
Manager Zhou waited for Ding Kui to sit down and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Everyone, come in!"
Not long after, two men carried a wooden box, followed by a group of young women, and walked into the living room.
"There are five thousand gold coins in the box. Here is Gong Xiu's roster. Please ask Ding Duhu to check it." Manager Zhou took out a roster.
Ding Kun stepped forward to take the roster, signaled the two men to put down the wooden box, reached out and grabbed the iron ring on the wooden box, lifted it up, and nodded to Ding Kui.
The ten girls were fat and thin, all of them were about the same age as Ding Kui, and they all looked pretty. At first glance, they were carefully selected.
"I accept the reward from the king." Ding Kui bowed in the direction of the palace, "I will never forget the grace of the king in the future, work hard and do my best to serve the king."
Under normal circumstances, when the king's reward was delivered to the Protector's Mansion, Ding Qi should come forward to receive it together, but he didn't want to say these disgusting words, so he simply hid and let Ding Kui receive it alone.
"Ding Duhu's loyal heart can be learned from heaven and earth." After the process, Li Hong came out and gave Ding Kui a top hat.
"Yes, yes, no wonder Lord Ding was rewarded by the king at such a young age. I have been serving the king for almost ten years, and this is the first time I have seen him." After the task was completed, Director Zhou felt much more relaxed and looked at Ding Kui's face.
His eyes were a little more eager.
Ding Kui nodded to Ding Kun, with an innocent smile on his face, and said: "I have just arrived in the capital, and I still don't understand many of the rules. I hope you two adults can give me some advice."
On the way to the living room, Ding Kui and Ding Kun discussed it. Although they came as a reward, it was still necessary to take care of it. Ding Kun took out two money bags and gave one to Li Hong and Zhou Ying respectively.
Zhou Ying took the money bag and weighed it in his hands, the smile on his face became even brighter.
Li Hong stretched out his hands and bent down to take the money bag handed by Ding Kun, and then stuffed it directly into his arms, saying: "I will give it to the brothers who came together later, and tell them that this is Ding Duhu's meeting gift."
, let them work harder for Ding Duhu in the future."
"It happens to be lunch time. Please stay and have a casual meal with me." Ding Kui was satisfied with the two people's reactions.
Supervisor Zhou carefully considered his words and said: "There is a time limit for the official to leave the palace to do business. He has to rush back to answer the order. It is inconvenient to stay today. When I have time, I will host a banquet for Lord Ding and let him taste it."
Try the delicacies of Zhenjing City, Mr. Li, please come with us when you arrive."
"What Director Zhou said is true. We palace guards are not allowed to stay outside at will when we are on a mission. We will have a good time together on the day of rest." Li Hong called Ding Kui brothers whenever he had the opportunity, completely ignoring the actual age difference.
.
"Okay then, I'll send you two off."
After talking about this, Ding Kui couldn't keep Li Hong and Zhou Ying any longer, so he personally sent them to the gate of Ding Mansion.
"Grandpa Kun, how do you arrange these ten palace shows?" When Ding Kui returned to the living room, he saw that the palace shows were still standing there obediently.
"Master, the sisters are all your slaves now and can only serve you." A palace show stood up and spoke.
This Gong Xiu has a melon-seed face, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. She is elegant and elegant. She is estimated to be 1.7 meters tall.
"What's your name?" Ding Kui took the list handed over by the butler.
"Return to the master, slave Biya."
"Biya, you have been trained in the palace for the longest time, so you should know the rules best. Since I know that you are all my slaves, can't I still let people arrange things for you?" Ding Kui's face showed displeasure.
Biya's face turned red and she said coyly: "The slaves have only learned the skill of serving others in the palace, and they don't know how to do many other things. I'm afraid that the master will give us to the servants at will."
"If the palace doesn't teach you to serve others, how can it teach you to enjoy happiness? The butler will arrange things for you according to your situation. Why would you be handed over to a servant?" Ding Kui was very puzzled.
"Yes, it's that kind of service," Biya's voice became smaller and smaller, her head lowered almost touching her chest, "It means staying with the master no matter what he does."
Well, who did the king send me? Did my uncle ask for it? This is impossible. How could such a private matter at home be told to outsiders? Couldn't this be a coincidence?
After listening to Biya's words and her expression, Ding Kui suddenly understood.
"This is not a palace, and you don't need to serve you now. Hey, here comes a group of people who don't know how to do anything. Do you still need me to find someone to take care of you?" Ding Kui had a headache.
Biya quickly knelt down and said: "Slaves can take care of themselves and learn the jobs they don't know how to do. I just ask the master not to reward us to others at will."
The rest of the palace ladies also knelt down together, saying that they could do any job no matter how hard or tiring they were, as long as they would not be rewarded.
"Learn to work? Where can I find someone to teach you?" Ding Kui looked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper Ding Kun spread his hands, meaning that he couldn't teach women.
"Huh? By the way, there seems to be someone who can, but I have to go to Jiang Mansion to borrow someone. I don't know if I can borrow him back." Ding Kui patted his head, and he thought of Granny Liang.
If Granny Liang can teach Ding Xiao, then there should be no problem in teaching these ten Gong Xiu some less complicated housework.
Jiang Li looked at Ding Kui, who had only been away from the Jiang Mansion for half a day, not to mention how happy he was in his heart, and said, "Kui'er is reluctant to leave your uncle? There are not many people in the Protector's Mansion, so it's better to come back and live here."
"You misunderstood. Kui'er came here to ask you for advice." Ding Kui admired his uncle and still wants to do his ideological work.
Ding Kui told Jiang Li truthfully about the ten palace shows, and at the same time proposed to borrow Granny Liang.
"All the palace ladies are of pure wealth. Many of these attendants come from aristocratic families. Although they are members of the royal family after entering the palace, their status is not lowly. Haha, your Majesty is really interesting. I will reward you with ten attendants at once.
Gong Xiu is in the bedroom, I can't guess his intention.
It is really not suitable for you to let them sleep with you now. If you want them to learn from Granny Liang, then you have to ask Granny Liang herself. If she is willing to teach, no one in the house will stop her." After figuring out Ding Kui's purpose, Jiang Lixiao
.
"Is it okay if Granny Liang is willing? Well, I'll go find her now." Ding Kui didn't expect Granny Liang to have such a high level of autonomy in Anguo Duke's Mansion.
Ding Kui asked Jiang Nan to wait in front of the "Shaohua Courtyard", and he ran into the small building and rang the bell. When Ding Kui lived here some time ago, he made an agreement with Mrs. Liang to ring the bell to notify her after practicing.
"Oh, my young master, you haven't come home?" Within ten seconds of the bell ringing, Mrs. Liang appeared.
Ding Kui told Granny Liang what he said to Jiang Li again.
"The rules of this royal family are very big. There are several types of training for a palace show, and different jobs are done by different people. The palace show that serves in the bedchamber only knows how to serve men, and wants them to cook. Embroidery and sewing are
It can't be done." Granny Liang seemed to know a lot about the affairs in the palace, "I haven't taken care of a disciple for a long time, and I'm tired of living an ordinary life here, so I'll help the young master teach them.
How can the maids around the young master only serve men? How is that different from the women in the brothel? When they become yours, they have to forget their status in the palace and do things according to the rules of the Ding family. You can rest assured
Leave them to the slaves, I don’t think they can be as good as Xiaoxiao, at least they are at a level of seventy or eighty percent."
