Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang finished her meal first, leaving Zhang and Ling'er at the other table to continue eating. Then he asked Ling'er to go talk to Li Maigao's family and go home in the afternoon to bring back a bowl of pork belly for her two brothers.

She goes home alone.

Halfway through, a young man in a blue gown came up to him and said with a smile, "Xiangxiang, are you ready?"

It's Xiawen Pass.

Since he quarreled with him last time, he hasn't been in front of Ding Xiang for a long time.

Ding Xiang didn't stop and said, "It's done."

Xia Wenguan stared at the little figure fading away for a long time.

Grandfather and father saw that the second brother-in-law of the Ding family was completely in trouble, so they lowered their profile and wanted to improve their relationship with them. But both Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao had a cold attitude, so they had to let him find a way to win Ding Xiang's heart.

The Ding family doted on their daughter, and Ding Xiang came to ask for her hand in marriage as soon as she turned fifteen. As long as Ding Xiang is devoted to him, there is nothing Ding Zhuang can do.

They did this not only because they were interested in Ding Xiang, but also because they were afraid that the Ding family would take revenge on his family for stopping Ding Zhao's scientific examination. Destroying someone's future is like killing their parents. The more prosperous the Ding family becomes, the more frightened they become.

But Lilac's attitude towards herself is difficult.

The small figure turned around a courtyard wall and disappeared. Only then did Xia Wenguan look back, feeling frustrated. He also thought that Ding Xiang was high-spirited and Ding Liren was good at school. He could only win her heart if he worked harder and became a scholar.

Thinking of his glory as a scholar, Xia Wenguan became happy again and hurried home.

Li Maigao, who was eating not far away, saw this scene.

After Zhang returned home, Li Maigao told her the way Xia Wenguan looked at Ding Xiang.

"That kid is only twelve years old. He looks like a bad guy at first glance, and his eyes are sneaky."

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she cursed, "It's so shameless, how dare that family even think about it."

She went to Lilac's house.

Ding Xiang was leaning on Ta and reading a book. The little girl is pink and tender, as beautiful as the flowers standing on the branches.

Someone is worried about you when you are only seven years old. What will happen when you grow up?

Zhang became worried and felt that she had a heavy responsibility.

She walked over and sat next to her daughter, and solemnly told her, "Stay away from Xia Wenguan when you see him in the future. That boy has not learned well since he was a child."

Ding Xiang put down the book, wrinkled her nose and said, "That man is very annoying, I don't want to talk to him."

"Not only don't talk to Xia Wenguan, but also ignore any kid who wants to get close to you. Look at Tang, she was tricked by Ding Chi into marrying him, and she still doesn't know whether she is dead or alive."

Ding Xiang understood that I was afraid that she would be deceived, so she came to get vaccinated.

She was slightly moved, sat up and leaned into Mrs. Zhang's arms.

These words were told to her by her grandma in her previous life.

Whether it was buying a small panty when she was growing up, or buying sanitary napkins at menstruation, or later being chased by a boy, when little Xunxiang was at a loss, her grandma was the one who worried about it, and her parents never cared about it.

And now that she has just started to replace her baby teeth, I have to worry about these things.

Ding Xiang said, "I know, it won't happen."

"You must listen to your father and mother about your marriage. We will not harm you."

"Mom, I'm still young."

She grinned, missing a front tooth.

She had never been married in her previous life, and she had never been attracted to any man. She thought she could not understand men. If you must get married in this life, and you haven't met a man you fall in love with, if your grandfather and parents find someone suitable, just listen to them.

They were definitely pickier than her.

Zhang laughed and felt that it was too early to think about these things. But Xia Wenguan must tell her husband that he is thinking about his daughter and let him beat the boy.

Mother and daughter were leaning on the couch and talking quietly.

He went home at the end of his prime. His face was flushed from drinking, his nose was even redder, and his face was full of smiles.

Hearing the noise, Ding Xiang trotted out of the room and looked at him expectantly.

Ding Zhuang smiled and said, "Xiao Jingdouzi, you want to know everything..."

According to him, Tao Weng called himself a "min", and he, his wife, and six servants returned to their hometown to live. The two sons are still serving as officials, and the daughter got married in the capital and has not come back with her.

Tao Weng looked at Grandpa Ding Zhuang's fingers, stood up and bowed to him, saying that such an elder was rare in the world and worthy of everyone's respect. He also spoke highly of Ding Zhao, even though his brother harmed his family, he still treated the son left by his brother as his own.

He also thanked Ding Zhuang for fighting for his mother when he was young.

Several relatives of the Tao family came here again and knelt down to beg him to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors, but he didn't come back. He said that the ancestors of the Tao family would be ashamed to have such descendants who ignored family ties and were only interested in profit. He had already invited the Tao family's ancestral tablets into his ancestral hall, and he was completely severed from that branch.

Having had that experience, he admired Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao's family even more for their family-oriented family.

Ding Zhuang smiled happily and said, "There were so many guests, but Tao Weng asked me to sit next to him. He talked to me the most and didn't say much to Yuan Xia. Tao Weng was a Jinshi and had been a high official. He had no airs at all. East Chamber The door and window were open, and I took a glance. There were several rooms of books inside. This is a real scholar.

"Look at Yuan Xia, he shows off every day that he is a child-sheng master, and looks at people with his big nostrils. What the hell! Although I have never been to his house, I heard that the two floors of his bookcase are not full of books."

Lilac dark music.

It sounds like Tao Weng is quite a good person.

Calling itself "the people", we do not use our past status to oppress the people. He attaches great importance to family ties and has a special regard for Grandpa Ding Zhuang who protects his calf. Not filial, and will not compromise unprincipledly because of clan pressure...

His home also has a large library.

Books were expensive in ancient times, so many books would have cost several thousand taels of silver.

You must find a way to build a good relationship, read more books, and preferably become a disciple.

However, grandpa's words about Yuan Xia also made her blush. There seemed to be not as many books in her bookcase as there were in Xia Yuan's house. It's not that she doesn't want to buy more, after all, she is not yet seven years old.

Ding Zhuang said again, "Ding Youshou, that bastard, got a big deal this time. The old houses he lived in were originally rented by Tao Weng and his son. The owner of the house died and no one took care of them. Ding Youshou spent less money to repair it and moved in.

"Tao Weng asked someone to buy it for fifteen guan. He wanted to build a pavilion there and plant flowers and plants in memory of his mother."

Mrs. Zhang said, "One piece of money became fifteen pieces of money, and Ding Youshoule went crazy."

In the evening, Ding Youcai and Wang came to visit.

He said that Hao had maimed their two sons, and Ding Youshou should compensate them ten thousand dollars. They asked Ding Youshou for money, but Ding Youshou refused to give it, saying that he had divorced Mr. Hao long ago and that Mr. Hao's affairs were none of his business.

Ding Li didn't care. They wanted to ask Ding Zhuang to speak justice for them and ask Ding Youshou to give them ten ounces of money.

Ding Zhuang was too lazy to care about the mess in their room. He said that the small courtyard was not the property of the Ding family and that the Ding family had no control over it, so he asked them to go find Xia Lizheng.

Xia Lizheng also found excuses to ignore it.

Ding Youshou now has enough to eat for one person and the whole family, and is not afraid of wearing shoes when he is barefoot. Ding Youcai and Wang do not dare to be tough with him.
