During the Chinese New Year, naturally everyone greets you with a smile, and even when you are angry, you are happy.
At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Ding Han watched her two grandsons chasing and playing with Ding Ping. She couldn't help but smile and said, "I feel happy when I see them. It's really lovable."
Ding Shengkang liked hearing this. Watching Ding Ziheng play with Ding Zijian, although Ding Ping was still a little timid, fortunately he still knew how to be humble to his two younger brothers.
Seeing the joy on Ding Shengkang's face, Ding Hanshi said again, "The two daughters-in-law, housekeepers and managers are too busy to take time off. Even if they are capable, there will inevitably be oversights. Why don't you put all the children in my courtyard and I will take care of them?" .”
Ding Zhou became tense when she heard this. She only had a son, and no one could take her son away from her.
Just as he was about to speak, An Ran stopped him with a look. ?.?????.???
Ding Shengkang glanced at Ding Hanshi and saw that the old wife was also dressed up today, with a rare gentle smile on her face. She now looked like a kind grandmother.
But what kind of person Ding Han is, how could Ding Shengkang not know for so many years.
"It's a big holiday today, let's not talk about this for now. After the banquet is over later, let's go set off firecrackers."
Seeing that Ding Shengkang didn't refuse, Ding Han thought it was a show, so she sat on it happily and watched her grandson laughing and playing.
After the banquet was over, Mrs. Ding Zhou came up to An Ran and whispered, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Are you willing to hand over Heng'er to my mother-in-law? I can't bear to do it."
An Ran Latin Zhou sat down aside and whispered, "Why are you in a hurry? You haven't seen my father-in-law and he hasn't agreed. Don't worry, my father-in-law will not give the child to my mother-in-law. We don't need to talk about it."
"What if my mother-in-law brings it up again and my father-in-law agrees?"
Seeing that Ding Zhou was really anxious, An Ran said, "I guess the father-in-law will not agree. Even if the father-in-law agrees, the uncle and the third master will not agree."
Ding Zhou took two deep breaths and said, "Okay, I will listen to my sister-in-law first, but I will not leave my son to others."
When it was over, everyone went back to their rooms.
On the first day of the new year, rewards were sent from the palace, mainly medicines for Ding Shengkang.
On the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ding Changhe went to the palace to express his gratitude.
But he never expected that at noon, someone from the palace came to report that several ministers who were grateful were walking with the emperor in the garden. The emperor lost his balance for a moment and almost fell into the lake. He was grabbed by Ding Changhe, and Ding Changhe fell into the icy cold lake water.
An Ran heard the report from the chamberlain, "When everyone pulled Master Ding up, Master Ding was already pale. In addition, he had an old illness and the cold air entered his body, so the emperor allowed him to rest for a month at a hot spring village outside the city. There are also two imperial doctors."
An Ran couldn't sit still after hearing this, and wanted to pack her things and go to the hot spring village to see Ding Changhe.
The chamberlain said, "Don't panic, madam. The emperor has already appointed the people to serve you, and there is also an imperial doctor accompanying you. The emperor said that he will return to the house after Master Ding recovers from his injury, so don't worry, madam."
After saying that, he took out another letter and handed it to An Ran, "This is a handwritten letter written by Mr. Ding while he was awake and asked to be forwarded to Madam."
An Ran took it and asked the girl to invite the waiter to drink tea outside. After the chamberlain thanked him, he said that he had other things to do and couldn't stay long, so he left first.
An Ran opened the letter with trembling hands and saw that the font was indeed Ding Changhe's, so she calmed down and took a closer look.
Ding Changhe's letter was very simple. He only told her that if the cold air entered her body, she would have to wait for a while. The hot spring village is owned by the royal family, so it is inconvenient for outsiders to come. It is safe for him to recuperate there. He told Anran not to worry and take care of the family.
An Ran read it twice and closed her eyes. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that something was wrong. It was true that Ding Changhe had an old illness, but it was not as serious as this. "
But Ding Changhe is now on the same line as the emperor, so the emperor will not be disadvantageous to him.
At this time, Ding Shengkang also sent someone to invite An Ran over.
An Ran tidied up briefly and then went to Ding Shengkang's study in the front yard. Ding Changchuan, Ding Ziheng and Ding Zijian were also here. An Ran forced a smile and coaxed the two of them, asking them to go outside to play first.
"Dad, the chamberlain just left. I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't figure out what went wrong?"
Ding Shengkang tapped the table with his hand rhythmically, pondered for a while, and said, "It is impossible for the emperor to be unfavorable to the boss now. Maybe there is something else. It will only take a month. It will be clear in a month."
Ding Changchuan also said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will listen to the news from outside."
Now Ding Changhe is the backbone of the Ding family, and nothing can happen to him now.
But as soon as the incident came out, people from all sides came to inquire, and An Ran came up with the emperor's excuse.
"This is the royal gift. My uncle is allowed to recuperate at the Royal Hot Spring Village. When my uncle comes back, I will thank all my colleagues for their concern."
An Ran had a gentle attitude towards the outside world, without any panic, and the rumors in the capital gradually faded away.
The regent was quite suspicious. He looked at his subordinates and asked, "You were also present that day. I really didn't realize anything was wrong."
An official below said, "There was indeed an accident that day. Who knew that the stepping stones were loose? If Lord Ding hadn't grabbed the emperor in a hurry, it would have been the emperor who fell into the lake. Lord Ding's face was pale when he came up, and he looked very scary. .”
The regent couldn't help but murmur in his heart, is it really an accident?
