Fragrance Returned

Zhu Zhan laughed silently, unable to hold back even if he wanted to.

Before, I was ninety-nine percent sure that Ding Xiang was a descendant of my third aunt's grandmother and my little cousin. Today, the last trace of uncertainty was confirmed by Uncle Qin.

It is God's will that the Dong family has such a descendant.

Qin Hai added, "At the beginning, the old man's six children, the eldest man, his eldest aunt and his wife, and his third aunt's wife looked the most alike. They all looked like the old man, that is to say... among the descendants, only Sister Fang looked most like the eldest man. Miss Ding is most like my third aunt and my wife. Except for the second master who has a slight resemblance to my eldest aunt and my wife, the other descendants of my eldest aunt and my wife are completely different."

Zhu Zhan felt quite regretful, "Yeah, I don't look like the Dong family, nor do my cousins ​​and the Lichun brothers. I stand with them, and no one can tell that we are relatives."

Qin Haidao, "It doesn't matter if you don't look like it. It's not easy to be noticed when you go to Beijing to do business. Alas, thank you Mr. Xue for taking such a risky move to save the third aunt's wife, even risking his own life. In this way, I am confused." That family also confused us. In the early years, my father searched twice in Linshui County but could not find any clues...

"Hey, if the Ding family didn't have this female doll, and General Sun accidentally saw it, how could we have expected that Mrs. Sangu had not perished in the sea of ​​​​fire and had left behind descendants. It's a pity that Mrs. Sangu escaped the disaster and was still killed. The old godly woman Zuomo is dead."

Zhu Zhan also sighed, "The older generation of the Dong family, except for my father, is gone. That family did everything possible to destroy the Dong family and their descendants. Uncle Qin, do you think that prophecy is true?"

Qin Haidao, "Think about...her old man, and think about how that old woman and that family were so scared and tried every means to destroy the Dong family. To find something like that...it should be true."

Having said that, he was still not sure how something so mysterious could happen. The old man and the eldest man only told them the rumor when they asked their father and him to escape with the eldest young master. He found it unbelievable and wanted to believe it was true.

Now this little girl finally appears. If that sentence is true, that thing is still there, and even God is helping me.

Zhu Zhan said, "The fragrance of the second master's daughter in the capital only lasted for a month. She got a strange disease and then disappeared inexplicably. Otherwise, those people would not let her grow up."

Qin Hai snorted coldly, "Those who have attained the Dao will get many help, and those who have lost the Dao will have few. Those people never dreamed that two of the people they feared the most would appear thousands of miles away. It's a pity that Sister Fang died in infancy. God bless you." The other one survived fine and was found by us.”

Thinking of the little person who had been plagued by illness since she was born, and tried every possible means to keep her alive, both of them fell silent.

After walking for a while, Zhu Zhan said again, "My mother heard that Xiangxiang looks very similar to my sister and also has a fragrance. She is anxious to see her."

Qin Hai shook his head and said, "The general is right, good things are not busy. First ensure the safety of the Ding family, especially the safety of the little girl. The old shopkeeper and his son are powerful, and ordinary ruffians cannot bully them. When encountering a powerful one, let Guo Shengchong Keep an eye on them and send two more people to protect them secretly.

"Without precautionary measures, you must not let the little girl go to Beijing or go to Guangnan... I don't know if there is anything like that left, or if Mrs. Third Gu has explained it. It's not good to recognize each other rashly. I will be slow to find opportunities in the future. Get closer to the Ding family slowly, and then let’s talk about acquaintance.”

Zhu Zhan hesitated again and said, "Shilang Tao is going to live in Beiquan Village. He won't do anything bad, right?"

Before Qin Hai could say anything, Sun Yuhao in front stood down and smiled at them, "Uncle Qin, you are the best at walking by water. Let's see where to cross the river?"

Qin Hai and Zhu Zhan walked away and strode forward.

Seeing Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun's round noses and small eyes, they lowered their heads and smiled.

No matter how you look at it, they don't look like Dong Ruyue's descendants. All the girls from the Dong family are pretty. If Xiangxiang didn't look alike and didn't know each other when they met across from each other, how would they have thought that they were still relatives.

The next morning, Dingxiang asked Yang Hu's family to buy some mutton, pork belly, and dried mushrooms, and also bought some charcoal to try making barbecue in the evening.

Ms. Zhang frowned at first, "My dear, cumin is medicine. It hurts the nose and is not good to eat."

Ding Xiang said, "The strong smell of cumin can suppress the smell of mutton. Mom, you heard me right."

This was, of course, her excuse for using cumin, along with eight other spices, all of which she used in this era.

She told Li Macao's family how to marinate and bake it.

In the evening, a few skewers of mutton were grilled first. Ding Zhuang, Ding Liren and Ding Li were so fragrant that they almost swallowed their tongue.

Ding Liren said, "I didn't think mutton was so delicious before, but roasted mutton turns out to be so fragrant."

Ding Lilai said, "Yeah, it's more delicious than the Sixi meatballs, sauce elbows, and five-spice braised chicken in the restaurant."

Ding Zhuang smiled and said, "With the addition of fennel, the mutton not only loses the smell, but also has a different flavor."

Ding Xiang went to the kitchen again and said to Yang Hu's family, "Aunt Yang, add fennel to other dishes. It's fragrant."

The family had a hearty meal of barbecue with cumin, and they all agreed that this dish would be used to entertain guests tomorrow.

There were too many people and not enough iron picks, so Yang Hu and Li Maigao kept cutting the picks until midnight.

On the morning of the third day, Mrs. Zhang was cleaning up the house at home. Ding Xiang asked Yang Hu's family and Li Maigao's family to go to the town and buy five kilograms of mutton, ten crucian carp, two kilograms of pork belly, as well as some pig skin, mushrooms, fungus and kelp. I also bought some braised food to go with wine.

I went to Jiang Tofu’s house and bought a few pieces of tofu and two kilograms of dried tofu.

The dried squid sent by the Sun family was distributed yesterday. It is also delicious when grilled. There are spontaneous mung bean sprouts at home. The bean sprouts themselves cannot be used for barbecue, but they can be wrapped in pork belly.

Kill another rooster, add leeks and cabbage from the field, and there are more than a dozen dishes.

It's a pity that there are no potatoes this season.

Those people all have big stomachs, so they need to prepare enough food.

After lunch, Mrs. Zhang led others to put the meat on the plate.

By the end of the period, those people had not yet come out.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang were both worried, afraid of something unexpected happening.

At the end of Shen Shi, Ding Xiang stood at the door again.

Not only waiting for the second and third brothers, but also waiting for dad, eldest brother and those people.

Let Ding Liren and Dingli wait for their return first. They put down their book baskets and waited with their sister.

They not only missed their eldest brother, but also wanted to see the two high-ranking officials who could seek titles for their mother.

The villagers were also waiting. The courtyard doors of every house were wide open, and from time to time a head would pop up to look outside.

When the sun set and there were still a few rays of sunset left in the sky, a goshawk suddenly appeared in the sky.

It flapped its big wings and flew out of the mountain, plunged down suddenly, and landed in front of Lilac.

"Feifei."

Lilac happily grabbed it by the neck.

Feifei's big pointed mouth was open, and there was a lot of meat hanging on the barbs.

Ding Xiang turned back and shouted into the yard, "Grandpa, my father and the others are back. Uncle Yang, rinse Feifei's mouth."
