Ding Changhe didn't come back with a message these days, but An Ran didn't expect that Ding Lin from Fucheng would send her a letter.
It turned out that the new emperor rewarded beauties to the garrison leaders in various places. When the new emperor ascended the throne, many houses were ransacked, and naturally many official ladies were in trouble.
The new emperor thought that the troops stationed in various places were working hard, and some of the generals were rewarded with gold and silver, and some were rewarded with beauties.
Ding Changhe had a high and powerful position, so he naturally got one.
According to Ding Lin, this beautiful concubine was in trouble because her family was guilty of a crime. Ding Changhe is very satisfied with her and now lives in Miss Feng's yard.
When Mrs. Ding found out, she came over quickly. The uncle and the grandma got along very well some time ago. She was afraid that the grandma would get into trouble, so she hurriedly came over to enlighten her. ?.?????.???
"Grandma, I don't know if this is true or not, so don't take it too seriously. It's customary in officialdom to give concubines to each other. What's more, this is a reward from the top. Even if I want to, I can't refuse."
An Ran looked at Mrs. Ding and patiently enlightened her, but she actually smiled.
"Ms. Ding, I understand this. The regent rewarded the uncle with two beauties, and the new emperor only rewarded one. No matter whether the uncle likes it or not, he will not refuse it. I understand this."
Mrs. Ding clapped her hands and said, "As long as grandma wants to understand, I can only continue with this matter. Whether it's good or not, you have to act like you like it."
Sister Chen was quite sad for An Ran. She had just had a good few days, but why did she have another concubine? The uncle's concubines in that courtyard are already difficult enough. Thinking about it carefully, it is right for the uncle not to go back.
To be honest, An Ran didn't feel uncomfortable. After so many experiences, she no longer regarded the relationship between men and women as important.
Be good to her, she will accept it, and repay it appropriately. Treating her badly is just like before, nothing to feel bad about.
So she didn't want to go back to Ding's house and quarrel with a group of women. She had no intention of doing so, so why bother to make herself uncomfortable.
If Ding Changhe is good to her, her life will be easier. If he is not good to her, he will at most make it harder. He doesn't need to think so much, and his life will be more stable.
After experiencing the hardships of life, An Ran is very tolerant and still works and lives a quiet life as usual every day.
But in the Ding family in Fucheng, several women in Ding Changhe's backyard turned into a mess.
After Aunt Wen regained her health, she rejoined the competition for favor. Before the method was implemented, Ding Changhe went to the countryside to recuperate. Just in time, the uncle was rewarded with another beauty.
This forced Aunt Wen and Aunt Han to form a temporary alliance.
Because Miss Feng and Miss Tian were provoking trouble against An Ran, Ding Changhe, who had long tolerated them, was sent outside the city.
Aunt Yu now does not participate in anything except taking care of Ding Ping.
On this day, Aunt Wen met the new Aunt Bai in the garden, and for some reason they started to quarrel and even started fighting. Aunt Wen was accompanied by a capable wife. The newly raised Aunt Bai was no match. Not only did her hair get torn loose, but there were also two blood stains on her face.
Their respective girls also went up to protect the master, and this time it was even more chaotic.
When Ding Changhe found out, he banned them all without saying a word.
Somehow by coincidence, Ding Han sent a letter to Ding Changhe at this time, saying that she was in good health and asked Ding Changhe to send someone to pick her back.
Ding Changhe knew at a glance that he must be having trouble with his father again.
There was another letter to Aunt Han. After receiving the letter, Aunt Han came to thank Ding Changhe with a midnight snack.
After a busy day and being in a bad mood, Ding Changhe was also hungry and had finished all his midnight snack.
When Aunt Han saw Ding Changhe finishing his meal with a smile, she took the empty bowl and left. At the same time, she sent away the people waiting outside so that they would not interfere with the uncle's work.
But after a while, Ding Changhe felt a little fuzzy and his whole body felt hot.
He put away the official documents and returned to the small bedroom in the front yard, vaguely smelling a sweet fragrance.
Aunt Han arrived at the bed at some point. Seeing that Ding Changhe couldn't bear it, she took off her clothes and got into bed.
After the storm, Aunt Han fell asleep contentedly. After Ding Changhe woke up, he patted his head twice, endured his anger, turned around and went out.
Standing in the courtyard and rubbing his head, he seemed to hear a voice. The uncle still wore clothes of this color and looked energetic.
Ding Changhe opened his eyes and looked around. There was no sign of the woman. He sighed, turned around and rode out of the house.
The next day, Ding Changhe took advantage of military training and did not return to Ding Mansion for several days.
Ding Changhe in the barracks finished training his soldiers and discussed military affairs with his generals. Three days later, the matter came to an end and he returned to Xiaxi Village with only Dashan.
It was already late at night when we got home, and the sound of horse hooves had already awakened Sister Chen. She hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door after asking about the situation.
After he entered the main room, An Ran came out.
"Uncle, why are you coming here so late? It's not safe to travel at night."
Ding Changhe said: "Is there anything left to eat in the kitchen? Get some for me and Dashan. Neither of us has eaten dinner."
"Then wait a moment and I'll make some noodles for you."
An Ran hurriedly asked Sister Chen to help in the kitchen. He first brought two glasses of water to the two of them, and then went back to prepare food for them.
The noodles were mostly served in pots, one for each person, with two eggs and cooked meat in each pot. The two of them devoured the noodles.
After finishing the meal, Dashan said comfortably: "Grandma, this meal is so delicious. I can't even swallow it in the barracks."
"You came directly from the barracks."
"But no, I have been training soldiers and discussing military affairs these days, so I have no time to spare."
Ding Changhe glanced at him, "Why talk so much? Go back to the backyard after eating."
There is a well in the backyard. Dashan goes back to fetch a bucket of water, and he is already washed once he flushes it.
An Ran warmed hot water for Ding Changhe and asked him to soak in it to relieve his fatigue.
After serving Ding Changhe to wash himself, he got on the kang and fell asleep.
