Fragrance Returned

Tao Weng's expression became more and more serious. A seven-year-old child can actually read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Those questions are definitely not something that an ordinary child can think of and ask.

Met another genius.

He stamped his feet and beat his chest regretfully. This child was even better than others said.

It would be great if it was a boy. Let her kowtow and become a disciple immediately. I will teach her everything I have learned in my life, and maybe I can teach her a top scholar.

Tao Weng rubbed his aching chest.

Ding Xiang asked worriedly, "Sir, are you sick? Do you need someone to call a doctor? There is Dr. Zhao in Nanquan Village. He has good medical skills."

Tao Weng put his hands down and shook his head.

Ding Xiang's eyes got tired and she realized that she had read most of the book. Looking up at the sky, the sun is setting in the west.

Her thoughts drifted back to the past life, when she was reading "Three Kingdoms".

In her previous life, she preferred "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" among the four major classics, but had no interest in the other two. One is fighting and killing, the other is playing tricks.

Before starting her job, except for the "Shishi Biao" and "Lost Street Pavilion" in the textbooks, her understanding of the Three Kingdoms era was only at the level of comic books.

After work, because she had to draw the "Three Kingdoms" animation, she had to read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" carefully and also read "The Three Kingdoms". Because she is busy at work, she always reads in the evening after finishing her work.

When I get tired of watching, I will go to the window and look at the lights of thousands of houses outside. The neon lights outside the building flashed, and the street lights stretched into the distance like fire dragons, letting the night wind lift her long hair...

She felt lonely, confused, and even depressed.

She was just a commander, no one cared about her, and no one she wanted to care about. If you don’t want to get married and have children for the rest of your life, why do you have to work so hard?

Thinking of the pain and helplessness in her previous life, Ding Xiang's heart hurt again.

She suppressed her emotions and looked around.

At this time, she was sitting on the shady verandah on the edge of the mountain. The courtyard was filled with flowers. She looked up at the blue sky, the setting sun, and the chirping birds trying to get closer to her.

Thinking of the two big yards at home, Ding Xiang smiled, her nose a little sour.

My peaceful place is my hometown.

I started reading "Three Kingdoms" again in this life, and I didn't feel lonely or helpless at all. There are people who love her and the people she loves here. Her goals are clear: to make money, to improve the lives of her relatives, to accumulate various capitals, and to go to Beijing to deal with those who harmed her...

It's time to go home. The book had no page numbers. Ding Xiang took off the colorful bracelet with a few stars hanging from her wrist and stuck it in the book. She would continue reading next time.

Ding Xiang returned the book to Tao Weng.

Tao Weng said, "My study is open for you. You can come and read whenever you want."

Ding Xiang thanked her and saw the old lady sitting in the hall in a daze.

Ding Xiang was very embarrassed. She said she came to accompany the old lady to relieve her boredom, but she held the book and read it for a long time.

She went in and pulled the old lady's sleeve, coquettishly, "I forget the time when I'm reading. The old lady should have asked me to come in and talk to you."

The old lady hugged her and smiled, "I listen to you talking to the old man, and it relieves my boredom. From now on, call me Grandma Tao, as it sounds close to you."

Ding Xiang sweetly called "Grandma Tao" and told Aunt Lu how to make jade tofu.

The old lady asked the girl to pack a box of lotus cakes made by Aunt Lu for Dingxiang to take home and eat.

Seeing the two people and the dog walking out of the hanging flower door, the old lady sighed and her eyes darkened.

Tao Weng came in and said, "Are you thinking about your children and grandchildren again? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As we get older, it is right to think about how to live a few more years."

The old lady said, "My grandkids have their mother to care about them, so I don't need to worry about them. I'm thinking about Muer. Without his father, his uncle wants to kill him for the sake of his title. How pitiful he is in that big house."

"And Hui Niang, a good wife of a clan has become a widow, and she is being manipulated by that shabby householder. Old Sun Hua Tou is just a wallflower. Now that family is gaining power, how can they treat their two mothers well?"

The eye circles are red again.

Tao Gong frowned and said, "Look at you, I brought you this far just to keep you away from the troubles and to take good care of your health. Don't worry, Hui Niang is stronger than you think. Mu'er is thirteen years old. Smart and wise, it would be difficult for those two to harm them. According to Mu'er, he doesn't want to go to the Imperial College anymore and wants to gain experience in the military..."

This was the first time the old lady heard about this. She was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She stroked her chest and said, "Mu'er was selected as a scholar at the age of thirteen. He was the first among the nobles. Old Man Sun just let him do it. Suicide?

"And you, you said that Mu'er is the second best in Xun Sihai, has extraordinary talents, and will definitely win the first prize in the future, and you just let him stop studying? Oh, you deceived me to come this far because of your feelings, but you don't want me to care about it. Grandson, don’t let me scold Sun for being slippery. You old thing..."

Tao Weng hurriedly comforted him, "Look, you are anxious again before I finish speaking. As long as Mu'er stays in the capital, Sun Linzhan and the Su family will find various excuses to torment him. After all, he is a member of the Sun family, not our maternal family. It's not good to interfere in things. Mu'er has grown up, and this spring he was selected as a scholar. He will go to the military camp to practice for a few years. After a few years, he will take the martial arts examination and become a martial arts scholar. His future is still bright. "

"Wu Jinshi is a reckless man, can he be the same as Wen Jinshi?"

The old lady was so angry that her chest hurt. If my daughter had listened to her words and not married a son-in-law who was a military commander, and had not entered that unruly family, she would not have had this result now.

Tao Weng said, "Mu'er was born in a noble family, and martial arts may be more beneficial to him. Literary skills can stabilize the country, and martial arts can rule the country. As long as there is progress, don't be too obsessed with civil and military affairs. Today's Holy Emperor pays more attention to military generals than the previous emperor, especially in treating military commanders. The navy has invested a lot of financial and material resources. I heard that Lin Shoufu proposed..."

The old lady shook her head and said, "I'm an old woman who doesn't care about national affairs, no matter what Chief Assistant Lin says. I just feel sorry for my poor grandson. It's hard to go to the military camp at a young age."

Tao Weng said stubbornly, "My grandson made the right move. Letting him out shows that Mr. Sun still cares about his eldest son and has hope for this grandson."

There was a glimmer of hope in the old lady's eyes, "Isn't the old cunning man just manipulating his younger son?"

Tao Weng's voice was even lower, "He is a cunning old man, so of course he is cunning. It would not offend the Su family, but also save the grandson, so letting him out is the best choice."

"Staying away from the capital seems to be giving up the intention of fighting for the title, but in fact it is retreating in order to advance. Let Mu'er grow up. Start from the lower level, accept his father's previous connections, and even the connections in Sun Laotou's hands, so that he can turn around in the future. "

The old lady thought so, and her smile grew a little wider. Then he asked, "Old Hua Tou Sun is in charge of the navy, will Mu'er join the navy?"

Tao Weng nodded, "Master Sun's letter said that Mu'er will be fourteen next year and go to Jiaozhou Military Camp."

When she heard that her grandson was really coming to Jiaozhou, the old lady said happily, "Jiaozhou is close to here, and Mu'er can come and visit me from time to time. My life will be easy to pass. When will he come?"
