Fragrance Returned

At dawn, Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, Zhang and Ding Xiang got up.

Mrs. Zhang was packing things in the house, while the other three people took out the treasures that needed to be moved there and filled the small hole with soil. In order to prevent others from seeing the clues, I took some dry soil outside and sprinkled it on top, then patted it tightly.

Then he took the treasure to the east courtyard and hid it.

Lilac's emerald is hidden in the hole under the bed, Ding Zhuang's jade pendant is hidden in the corner, and Mi Zhixiang is locked in the cupboard.

There is nothing to hide in the hole in Ding Zhao's house for the time being, so it should be left empty for now.

The morning sun is like fire, the sky is blue, and there are dewdrops on the leaves.

After breakfast, Ding Zhao led his wife and children, each holding a package, and walked happily to the east courtyard.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Lilai followed, and Hei Wa walked at the end.

Feifei flew away the day before yesterday, and Lilac was sorry that it missed this important moment.

Ling'er has already packed up Ding Xiang's hut, hung up the gauze tent, laid out the bedding, and folded some lotus flowers and put them in a vase.

Lilac is very satisfied with her small suite.

A brown canopy bed with carved patterns, a gauze curtain hung with light blue embroidered hostas, covered with a Qianzhou-made phoenix peony colorful soft satin quilt, a flower-printed mattress with rich flowers, and small ruffled pillows of the same color. A small engraved silver sachet hangs from the top of the bed, containing fragrant pills.

In addition to the sachets, the bedding is all given by shopkeeper Gong. The purchase price she paid for it still cost more than twenty taels of silver, and she used up all her monthly savings for several months.

Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion's business is extremely booming, and Lilac is generous. The monthly salary of employees is higher than that of other embroidery shops, especially shopkeeper Gong. The monthly salary is ten taels of silver, not counting rewards, which is much more than what the owner gave before.

Brown carved wardrobes, round tables, chairs and stools, makeup mirrors, colorful porcelain tea cups, blue and white porcelain vases, Suzhou embroidery small table screens, and carved bronze mirrors that my grandfather bought in Jiangnan were all displayed. There were also two red wealth knots hung on the wall.

There is a small melon-carved brass incense burner placed on the small table in the corner.

In the small study room, there is a small brown carved bookcase, a small bookcase, two pots of daffodils placed on two flower stands, and a small carved couch under the west window, covered with light blue satin cushions and pillows of the same color.

A proper boudoir for our lady.

The only regret is that there are too few books in the bookcase, only about thirty books, and only one and a half shelves. Books were expensive in ancient times, and it was hard for a little girl like her to buy too many books at once.

In this yard, the most luxurious furniture and furnishings are in these two rooms. Only her window has a screen, and the other windows are all window paper.

To raise a rich daughter, grandpa and dad did their best.

Lilac was a little embarrassed. She made a lot of suggestions, but she didn't ask for special treatment in her room, and she was still treated specially.

Today we not only invited relatives, villagers, several landowners, but also Qian Dahu and his wife.

Aunt Qian had already said hello, and they would come to congratulate them when they moved.

The house was tidied up and several people put on new clothes.

Lilac had a lot of good clothes, so she took out a set of light pink embroidered summer shirt and a pure blue long skirt, put it on, and ran to the east room to see Mrs. Zhang.

Zhang is wearing the sky-blue nine-silk double-breasted summer shirt that she has always been reluctant to wear. It has four pairs of bamboo leaf-green pipa plate buttons sewn on it, and a silk skirt with a circle of plum blossoms embroidered in bamboo-leaf green.

People are like piles, and they all depend on their clothes.

Zhang is tall, moderately fat and thin, and looks like a different person. Not to mention how beautiful she is, she is also a gentle and delicate woman.

Ding Xiang first praised in surprise, "Mother is so beautiful."

He forced her to sit down and put balm, rouge, lipstick, and eyebrow stones on the table.

Except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, when her daughter put on makeup, Mrs. Zhang was not willing to do it at other times for fear of being laughed at.

Seeing that her daughter was putting makeup on her again today, Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "Mom is a country woman. She makes her face red at such an old age. It's a joke."

Ding Xiang said, "Mom is a wife now, and she will be a wife in the future, so she has to deal with it like this. Look at dad, he is getting younger and more handsome. There is a saying in the book, a woman can be happy just to please herself. For dad, mom will do the same. You should dress up nicely.”

This was too mature to say, but Ding Xiang had to explain it clearly. Ever since the family opened an embroidery workshop, many shameless women have been swarming around my father, and some have flirted with him.

Two people approached Grandpa Ding Zhuang and wanted their daughter to be a concubine for Ding Zhao's father, but Grandpa Ding Zhuang did not agree.

When grandpa told his father about this, he was overheard by Lilac outside the window.

Bah, bah, bah, bah... The smell of lilac made my face turn red, and I didn't know how many times I sipped.

shameless!

No matter what era, there are always such women who don't want to struggle but want to live a good life, as well as these weird parents who want to sell their daughters.

From now on, I must dress my mother up beautifully. Not only for daddy to see, but also for others to see. Don't think that Mrs. Zhang is a rough woman who doesn't know how to dress up. A confident and attractive woman always wants to come over and seduce her man.

Moreover, good-looking people will increase their self-confidence, allowing Zhang to stand upright and protect her family.

Ding Xiang believes that her father will not change his mind, but as a man, who doesn’t want his wife to be more beautiful?

Ding Zhao walked in and said with a smile, "My daughter is right, you can clean it up like this from now on. I like to see it."

The future Ding Dahu is wearing a brown silk robe, his hair is tied with a jade hairpin, he is tall and mighty, and he looks very Qi Yuxuan Subaru.

Ding Zhao has been reading for several years and is very willing to change his own image and has his own style.

In Ding Xiang's heart, her grandfather is the most handsome man in Gu'an Town, and her father is the most beautiful man in Gu'an Town.

Mrs. Zhang blushed. Since her family became rich, she has also seen some women looking at their husbands with sticky eyes. She didn't object anymore and sat down to let her daughter clean up.

Ding Xiang explained to Mrs. Zhang while putting on makeup, "My future mother must learn to put on makeup herself..."

With makeup on, Mrs. Zhang looks even more beautiful.

Mrs. Zhang was praised again by the sweet-mouthed Ding Liren and Ding Lilai.

After a while, the guests arrived.

The first to arrive was the Dingshan family, and the gift was a pair of half-person-high blue and white porcelain vases, which was a big gift in the countryside.

Ding Qin and Ding Daniu also rushed back from the county seat, and the shop was guarded by Zhao.

Ding Zhen looked at Ding Xiang's house with envy, but did not tell her parents to buy them as her family could not afford these good things.

Then Xia Er came with his son and wife, presenting a bag of polished rice and four bags of candies.

Ding Xiang and Ding Zhen went to Xia's house again to bring over Xia Sanfen, her little guest.

The guests arrived one after another. The richer ones gave richer gifts, while the poorer ones gave simpler gifts. Only Ding Li and Ding Youcai came empty-handed.

They just feel that their family is poor and their rich brother's family will not accept gifts from the poor brother.

Ding Youshou wandered around the door for several times, but still didn't dare to come in.

At the end of the day, the Qian family's carriage arrived at the entrance of the village.

Li Dalu, who had been standing at the entrance of the village, ran back and said loudly, "Master Qian is here, and two carriages have arrived."
