After breakfast the next day, Xiao Shitou went to the front yard to see Ding Shengkang, and Ding Ziheng followed behind him.
No one knew exactly what the grandfather and grandson said. It was almost noon before Xiao Shitou said to his grandfather, "I haven't seen my grandmother when I got back. I'll go and say hello to my grandmother first, and I'll be back to have dinner with my grandfather later." .”
Ding Shengkang nodded, and Xiao Shitou was getting better and better. In any case, as a sign of courtesy, I asked the servant to take the two little Shitou brothers there with them.
When they arrived at Zhixinzhai, Mrs. Ding Han looked at her eldest grandson kneeling on the ground and saluted her with a gloomy face.
From the very beginning, this grandson was at odds with her. Just like his mother, she was unhappy every time they met.
I came back yesterday, and I didn’t even think of paying my respects. It's been a long time today, and I just came here. It's obvious that I don't take myself seriously.
Xiao Shitou knelt on the ground and didn't hear his grandmother shout. He raised his head and saw his grandmother's sullen face. He had known since he was a child that his grandmother didn't like him, let alone his mother.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to keep kneeling.
Little Shitou stood up on his own, "Grandma, my grandfather asked me to come over just now. I have something to ask my grandson, so I left first."
After saying this, without looking at Ding Han's face, he pulled Ding Ziheng out of the yard. ?.?????.ℂ??
Mr. Ding Han was sitting at the top. Before he could say anything, he disappeared and the tea cup at his hand was thrown out heavily.
"Obstacles, they are all obstacles. If they don't make me angry to death, they won't be willing to do it."
When Xiao Shitou took his younger brother to his grandfather's place, the mother-in-law sent by Ding Han to hold him accountable also arrived.
Xiao Shitou looked innocent, "Grandma is blaming me for kowtowing lightly."
The mother-in-law is also extremely embarrassed, but her master has a destiny, how dare she disobey her.
Ding Ziheng rolled his eyes and said, "I heard the eldest brother kowtow just now. It was already serious, but grandma never let him get up. She was afraid that the kneeling time was too short."
When Ding Shengkang heard that there was something he didn't understand, he said, "Go back. We have other things to do, so don't disturb us."
The mother-in-law bowed sadly and went back to find Ding Han to revive her.
In the evening, Ding Changhe also returned to his house.
Ding Shengkang listened to his son's words, "As long as there are no clues left, it will be fine. With the emperor's people standing in front of him, the aftermath will not spread, and the regent will not really break up."
Ding Changhe nodded tiredly, "The regent will not make any other moves at this moment. To put it mildly, this is an internal conflict and not enough for outsiders. To put it more seriously, he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. He will not make any other moves at this moment." Mention this matter.”
Xiao Shitou knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Ding Changhe, "Dad, it's my fault this time. I believed in people's words easily and made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. Please punish me."
Before Ding Changhe could speak, Ding Shengkang said, "I've heard it from Xiao Shitou. Xiao Shitou did not do the right thing this time, but you have to remember after suffering a loss. You go back to rest with your father first, and the rest will come later." Let’s discuss it again.”
Ding Changhe took a look and saw that his father was obviously protecting Xiao Shitou. However, he didn't have the energy to say much at the moment, so he let Xiao Shitou get up and returned to the main courtyard.
Xiao Shitou and his two brothers accompanied their father back to the main courtyard. An Ran was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. When they saw the father and son coming back together, they immediately greeted him happily.
"Uncle, you are finally back."
Ding Changhe glanced at An Ran and hummed softly.
Yes, I'm finally back.
After running thousands of miles for a month to kill enemies, save people, arrange follow-up arrangements, and prevent things from spreading adversely, he never really rested.
Unexpectedly, Ding Changhe slacked off after returning and developed a fever the next day.
An Ran didn't need to ask. Looking at Ding Changhe's appearance, he knew that he was even more exhausted than Xiao Shitou.
Yesterday when Ding Changhe was taking a bath, An Ran personally waited on him. He had already seen injuries on his body. The inner thighs were deep red and bloodshot. These were all caused by long-distance riding.
After sending the concubine who came over to say hello, she asked the two children not to make any noise. She took care of them carefully for two days, and Ding Changhe gradually recovered.
As soon as he was well, he took the little stone into the palace.
When An Ran came back from the palace, she saw that Ding Changhe's eyebrows were clear and she knew that things were not going to be too bad.
Ding Changhe said mockingly, "The emperor wants to use me, but the regent is very careful about me. This actually makes the emperor feel relieved."
However, Ding Changhe is quite satisfied with the current situation.
An Ran thought for a moment and said, "So this time it's not all bad. At least the emperor won't see anything wrong with you now, and he will protect you if something happens to you."
Ding Changhe smiled and said, "Let's take advantage of each other. The greater your value, the more stable your position will be."
Although this matter has passed, Ding Changhe has become more stringent in Xiao Shitou's daily training, and Xiao Shitou has gritted his teeth and persisted.
He now also understands that without the strict training given to him by his father's confidants, it would be difficult for him to survive on the battlefield.
But Ding Ziheng looked on and felt sorry for his elder brother. The most direct manifestation was that he would give his elder brother a full bowl of vegetables every time he ate, and he would sleep with his elder brother at night.
Xiao Shitou is also very fond of such a warm-hearted brother. The most direct manifestation is that he takes his brother with him during training.
An Ran wiped the hair of his two sons and watched Zi Henghou being carried to the yard by his brother on the small stone. Then he smiled and shook his head and turned around, and met Ding Changhe's complaining eyes.
An Ran smiled and said, "Master, do you want to take a shower? I'll help you wash your hair."
Even if the two younger ones are coaxed away, the older one must also be coaxed well, otherwise the whole night
