Huiluo puts on his night clothes, avoids the Cui family's guards and secret sentries, and goes all the way to the Ding family in the west of the city. Although Ding Yi is in high school, the Ding family is a poor family. It's thanks to Mr. Cheng to buy a house in the west of the city. In fact, Mr. Cheng secretly bought Ding Yi the wedding gifts for his own face.
Ding's house in the west of the city is at the easternmost part of Jinxiu street. It's still a long way from the imperial city. Most of the officials living here are poor families. No matter how weak the Cheng family is, they still live in the east of the city. It's Mr. Cheng who is so cruel that he let his daughter marry Ding Yi. Although Ding Yi has a good momentum, his family is a little weak.
Gray Luo all the way to avoid the patrol of the five city soldiers and horses, touched the back door of the Ding family, gently jumped on the wall of the locust tree.
This kind of house with trees that are convenient for small people to get in and out of is not the right choice. However, the elder Cheng takes a fancy to the yard, borrows money to buy it for Ding Yi, and lets Ding Yi take her old mother from her hometown to the capital.
Ding Yi takes the silver note given by adult Cheng. Her eyes are full of gratitude. Her lips are muttering to say something, but she feels that nothing can express her feelings at the moment.
"Well, you should go to run the house quickly, and pick up your mother to live here earlier, so as to discuss the marriage between you and Yao'er."
Cheng Yao's face is red and hides behind the screen. She looks at Ding Yi's figure through the screen. She feels as if she has drunk honey. It's so sweet that she can't eat today.
"Thank you, my teacher. I will treat Yao Yao well in the future. I will never let her be wronged!"
Adult Cheng nods. Cheng Yao's mother died of giving birth to her. In order not to let her and her stepmother compete with each other, adult Cheng brings up a son and a daughter alone. Now his son has a job in the Beijing suburb racecourse, and his life is carefree. The only thing that makes adult Cheng uneasy is Cheng Yao's marriage.
It was also before Ding Yi became famous that Mr. Cheng got to know Ding Yi. Once, Ding Yi was so young that he won a poem in Fengsong hall. He was ambushed by a rich man and dragged to the back alley to fight. He happened to be seen by Mr. Cheng and saved. He had been injured for several days in the Cheng family.
Ding Yi and Cheng Yao became more and more affectionate in the days of healing. Seeing the two men's eyebrows, Cheng was satisfied with Ding Yi's courtesy. He was really talented. After Ding Yi got well, he wrote a letter to let him enter the Academy next to the Imperial Academy.
Along the way, Cheng Yao has indeed reached the age of waiting to be married, and Ding Yi has lived up to her expectations. High school has done a good job in the construction of the Academy in front of many colleagues, giving her a big face. Adult Cheng has taken out almost all her savings to help Ding Yi settle down in the capital and take Cheng Yao as his wife.
Another part of Ding Yi's gratitude to adult Cheng is her longing for her father's love. Ding Yi's father was drafted to dig a mine and died in the mine. Ding Yi's mother brought up Ding Yi with her meager pension, which made her sick. Fortunately, Ding Yi won her heart and established herself in the capital. When Ding's mother learned that she could live in the capital, People from all over the country came to the door to congratulate them.
"Ding family, when you go to the capital, you can't forget our poor relatives."
"The Ding family's life is good after all. Look at Ding Yi's promising future generations. He not only gained fame, but also bought a house in the capital to settle down."
"The most important thing is Ding Yi's filial piety. He knows that he will take his mother to enjoy happiness immediately!"
"That's right. My younger generation doesn't want me to go to settle down in town."
"If my Heiwa can be as promising as Ding Yi, I'll close my eyes right away."
Ding's mother rubbed her sour cheeks and was full of joy. It was worthwhile for her to endure so many years. At the thought of going to Beijing soon, Ding's mother wanted to have wings to fly directly.
After Ding Yi received her mother, she took her to the house. Looking at more than half of the house, she couldn't let go.
"The tiles in this room are so beautiful, just like that..."
Ding's mother is poor in words. She doesn't know a big word, and she can't say anything nice. Ding Yi looks at the shy Ding's mother, puts her hand around her thin shoulder, and pulls people to the main room.
"Niang, you don't have to suffer any more in the future. Your son will take care of you when he is promising."
"No way, son. You can't put your mother first. After you have your own wife, you will have your own children. You should put their mother in front of us. If you don't have your father-in-law, how can we have such a beautiful house? Where is such a comfortable life? My mother will be satisfied to see you get married and start a business. When I see your father underground, I will be able to make a job
Ding Yi eyes red, looking at the rickets back full of gray mother Ding, forced to nod.
"Son all listen to Niang's, from now on we a son live well."
"That's right!"
Knowing that Ding's mother came to Beijing, Cheng Yao pondered over a lot of cakes at home, and finally picked out her best and most difficult lotus cake.
Cheng Yao's Lotus crispy layer is clear, and the fragrance of lotus paste comes out in bursts. It's a delicate snack that Ding's mother has never seen before. Cheng Yao looks at Ding's mother's hand raised, lowered and raised, and asks Ding Yi with her eyes.
Ding Yi naturally knows that her mother is reluctant to start. She immediately reaches for her hand and carefully picks up a lotus cake and takes a big bite. She stares at her.
"Niang, eat it while it's hot. The lotus crisp made by Yao Yao is the most delicious. Even the ladies in the palace praise it."
As soon as Ding's mother hears all the women's praise in the palace, she is even more afraid to eat. In her heart, Ding's mother is determined not to be worthy of what the women have eaten. Her reaction falls into Cheng Yao's eyes, and she instantly understands her concerns.
"Don't worry, auntie. Brother Yi said casually that the lady hasn't eaten the lotus cake I made. You can taste it. It's delicious when it's hot."
Ding's mother looks at the lotus cake that Cheng Yao has stuffed into her hand. She tangles and watches Ding Yi finish eating one, drink a cup of tea and prepare to eat the second one. Then she swallows. She opens her mouth and bites a little bit. It's delicious. The pastry melts in the mouth, and the lotus paste is sweet but not greasy. It's very refreshing.
"Yao Yao, not only is he handsome, but his skill is also very good. If Ding Yi can marry you in the future, his ancestors will be very happy."
Cheng Yao is a little embarrassed by Ding's mother's praise. Ding Yi looks at the two people who are getting along with each other very well, and thinks that this life is like this every day, so there should be no regrets.
Accompanied by Ding Yi, Ding's mother makes several new clothes, chooses the most magnificent one to put on, and then follows Ding Yi to Cheng's home. She agrees with Cheng about their marriage, and happily waits until the wedding day.
