Fragrance Returned

Ding Zhuang heard that they wanted to hunt and said, "There are no big wild animals in Beifu Mountain and Nanfu Mountain, just hares and pheasants. If you are lucky, you may encounter one or two roe deer..."

Qian Lei said, "It's no fun to hunt small wild animals. We want to go into the mountains to hunt them."

Ding Zhuang saw that they were soldiers, and together with his son and a few men from his daughter-in-law's family, there was no problem in going hunting in the mountains.

He said, "If you want to go into the mountain, go in today, stay at my in-laws' house for one night, fight all day tomorrow, and then leave the mountain the day after tomorrow."

Several people are willing.

Ding Zhuang said again, "Father Li Chun will come back and take you into the mountains, and then have someone prepare some food for the road."

While waiting for Ding Zhao, several people were talking.

Ding Lichun took the time to give one of his packages to Ding Xiang, which contained gifts he bought for his family.

General Qin asked to see Ding Zhuang's left hand, and then listened to Ding Zhuang talk about how disgusting Jiaozipu was and how he was forced to chop off his fingers.

He didn't say that Jiaozipu must buy cloves, but that they must buy grandsons.

General Qin gave him a thumbs-up gesture, "The old shopkeeper is a man. He can chop off his own fingers without blinking an eye. I am a rough man, and I admire such heroes the most. You are my friend."

He had a very lively chat with Ding Zhuang.

Ding Lichun was very happy. The usually cold and serious General Qin and his grandfather really hit it off.

Guo Shoubei didn't like to talk, and only occasionally whispered a few words to General Qin. Guo Shoubei and Qin Guan worked together in the Navy before becoming a guard, and they were very good friends. Under General Qin's strong invitation and wanting to establish a relationship with Governor Sun's grandnephew, he deigned to come to Ding's house as a guest.

The young men didn't have much to say to Ding Zhuang. They looked out the window and looked at Feifei and Heiwa playing under the eaves of the east wing.

Zhu Zhan was looking at Lilac.

Ding Xiang was looking at the horses with interest. In ancient times, there were very few opportunities to see horses in rural areas. Now, in her eyes, these horses are not military horses, but Hummers.

It's a pity that I have to keep a low profile now, otherwise I would buy one. In a few days, let dad buy a mule, a high imitation Hummer, equivalent to a certain off-road vehicle in the previous life...

Thinking of this, a smile popped up at the corner of Ding Xiang's mouth.

That smile made Zhu Zhan feel happy and sad at the same time. This child looks exactly like his sister. They are both so elegant and lovable, with bright eyes and good eyesight. If my sister was still alive, she would be twelve years old...

Ding Xiang finally pulled her eyes away from the horses and looked at the small window in the upper room, where she happened to meet Zhu Zhan who was looking at her.

Zhu Zhan was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, smiled again, and looked away.

Ding Xiang also smiled brightly at him.

He thought to himself, what does this young man mean when he looks straight at a six-year-old country girl?

Sun Yuhao, who had been paying attention to Feifei, turned to Ding Xiang, gave her a smile and raised his eyebrows.

Ding Xiang suddenly understood that the trait in Zhu Zhan that she had never understood before was a contradiction. There is both the dignity in Sun Yuhao and the coldness in Qin Hai.

One is a noble and the other is a pirate. How can these two completely incompatible temperaments be integrated into one person?

It's not surprising that Zhu Zhan has banditry, because he is a descendant of pirates. But where does that natural nobility come from?

Just as he was thinking about it, Ding Zhao hurriedly walked in the door, and the upper room became lively.

Zhang and others have baked a pile of cakes, boiled thirty eggs, and filled the water bladders with water.

Ding Zhao led a group of seven people and asked Feifei to step on his shoulders. Ding Lichun put the rope on Hei Wa and walked out together.

It is difficult for the horse to go into the mountains, so it is temporarily kept at Ding's house.

As they passed several horses, one horse suddenly kicked up and seemed to kick Ding Xiang who was walking aside.

General Qin rushed forward and took Ding Xiang aside.

Ding Zhuang, who was walking at the end, was so frightened that when he went to pick up Ding Xiang, General Qin had already taken him away.

Before Ding Xiang could react, she was suddenly picked up by General Qin, took two steps back and then put him down.

General Qin pinched her little face and said with a smile, "Little girl, stay away from the horse."

Ding Zhuang came over and picked her up and said, "You don't even look at me when you walk." Then he smiled at General Qin and said, "Thank you, General Qin."

Only then did Ding Xiang understand that when she was about to be kicked by a horse, she was saved by General Qin.

Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun, who were walking in front, also turned around, scolded Ding Xiang, and asked Yang Hu and Li Maigao to lead the horses to the backyard.

Ding Xiang was still a little dazed, and raised her hand to touch the face pinched by General Qin.

Even though his hands were light, the thick calluses on his hands were a bit irritating. But his eyes were warm, as warm as the sun above his head, which made Ding Xiang feel warm in his heart, feeling that he didn't look like a ruthless pirate at all.

Then I thought that the targets of the Zhu family's robbery were not ordinary people, but the Japanese pirates and pirates who robbed the people of Li. Even if General Qin is really a subordinate of Zhu Zhan's father, they are not bad people, but people who defend Dali from foreign invaders.

Ding Zhuang sent them out of the door and saw Xia Lizheng running over, kneeling down and kowtow to Master Guo.

He said in fear, "Master Guard, I didn't know that you were here, and I didn't entertain you well. I'm guilty of this."

When Xia Li was going to the county government office, he saw the guard several times from afar but said nothing to him.

Today he heard that several military masters came to the second room of the Ding family, and thought they were Ding Lichun's comrades, but he did not expect that the garrison master actually came.

Mr. Guo said, "Get up. I'm here to do private business, so don't be nervous."

After speaking, several people hurriedly walked towards Nanquan Village.

Xia Lizheng looked confused and came to Ding's house to do some private business?

Ding Zhuang was extremely proud. When these military masters arrived, one of them was Mr. Guo, the guard of Linshui County, and his back became a little harder.

The village is lively again.

Many villagers, including Xia Li, came to Ding's house to inquire.

"Besides the Lord Guard, who are those officials? Tsk tsk, Li Chun is becoming more and more promising, and he can invite so many military masters to his home as guests. There are also two fairy-like young men who are so handsome. Who are they? "

Even Xia Zhong came to inquire.

Ding Zhuang loves to brag, and he won't hide it when his family has such good things.

He frowned and cursed a few times, "That brat at the beginning of spring didn't tell us in advance that distinguished guests were coming, so the family was unprepared. Fortunately, those officials had no airs and were friendly to the people, so they didn't blame us for not entertaining us properly."

What everyone couldn't understand the most was that Ding Zhuang was actually happy and pretended to be unhappy. But he had no idea and asked, "Tell me, who are those officials?"

Ding Zhuang said, "Mr. Qin's official rank is Qianzong, which is as big as the officers of Lord Guard. They are all fifth-grade, and they can grant royal titles to my wife. The two adults particularly appreciated my family Li Chun, saying that Li Chun is both civil and military, and there will definitely be someone in the future. Great future.

"Those young people, Mr. Sun is the son of the General. Do you know what kind of official his great-uncle is? He is a governor or a marquis. The official office is in the capital, and he discusses state affairs with the emperor every day."

After saying that, he looked at everyone's expressions.
