Fragrance Returned

In the west room, Zhang and Ding Lichun were talking quietly.

As soon as Ding Xiang entered, she kicked off her little embroidered shoes, climbed onto the bed and sat huddled with her elder brother.

Zhang asked, "Your eyes are red. Did you not sleep well?"

Ding Xiang said dullly, "I feel so bad for my brother, I can't sleep because I'm so worried."

Ding Lichun was extremely moved. He took his sister's hand and squeezed it. "Brother is fine. When he gets better, I will take my sister to play on the warship."

Before, Ding Xiang dreamed of seeing ancient warships, but she couldn't think of that now.

She asked, "Grandpa and daddy went to give gifts?"

Mrs. Zhang said, "Yes, we also sent our message asking to see Mrs. Zhu."

Ding Xiang felt that since the Zhu family wanted to test her family, Mrs. Zhu should be eager to welcome them. After all, it was better to get information from women and children.

Likewise, she also wanted to see Mrs. Zhu to see if she could find the clues she wanted from Mrs. Zhu.

Just as Ding Xiang finished her breakfast, a girl walked in under the leadership of Bai Shark.

Baisha smiled and said, "This is Sister Yanzi next to Madam."

Zhang and Ding Xiang quickly stood up.

"Girl Swallow."

"Sister Yanzi."

Yanzi is fourteen or five years old, with handsome features. He is holding a tray in his hand, and there is a lacquered brocade box placed on the tray.

She bowed her knees to Mrs. Zhang and Ding Xiang, and said with a smile, "My wife fell ill last night. I asked the doctor to come here early this morning. The doctor asked my wife to stay in bed and rest. The wife said that she would invite Mrs. Ding and Sister Xiang after she recovers." Come over and talk."

Then he presented the brocade box on the tray, "Madam heard that yesterday was my sister's seventh birthday, so she specially prepared a birthday gift."

Ding Xiang was quite disappointed, took the brocade box with both hands and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zhu."

Zhang also gave Yanzi a purse containing six silver coins.

Yanzi thanked him and sat down.

Zhang asked, "What disease does Mrs. Zhu have?"

Yan Zi said, "Asthma is easy to get sick when the weather is cold or the mood is unstable. Alas, my sister got sick and died nine years ago. My wife couldn't bear the blow. She cried every day and her health became worse and worse..."

After a few chats, Yanzi said goodbye and left.

Lilac opened the brocade box and found two large pink pearls lying on the purple velvet. The beads are round and shiny, not much smaller than longan.

Ding Xiang saw such a big pearl for the first time in her life.

Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth for a long time before closing it, and said, "We have asked for so many good things from others, how can we return the favor?"

Her son's debt to Shangfeng could not be repaid, and Ms. Zhang felt as if a stone was weighing on her heart and she could not breathe.

Ding Xiang also felt that this baby was hot to touch. It’s easy to return valuable things, but I’m afraid of priceless things and don’t know how to return them.

She closed the lid with an incomprehensible expression.

His eldest brother saved his son, but the best gift was given to himself.

Ding Lichun smiled and explained, "Mom, don't worry, Mr. Zhu's life is priceless. My son will continue to work hard and defend General Zhu to the death. Oh, General Zhu has made an agreement with General Sun. When I recover from my injury, I will be with General Zhu." The men do the work.”

Although General Zhu is not as senior as General Sun, Ding Lichun is more willing to work with General Zhu so that he can learn real skills and make contributions in the future.

Ding Xiang looked at her eldest brother with a silly grin. They had led him into a trap and he didn't know anything.

During lunch, a boy came to report, "Manager Tang invited the old shopkeeper and shopkeeper Ding to the restaurant for a drink."

After dinner, Ding Lichun took a lunch break, and Mrs. Zhang sat aside to accompany him.

Ding Xiang didn't want to sleep and came to the yard.

Look around at the unfamiliar walls, roofs, and trees. There might be someone watching them hidden somewhere.

The white shark that has been flying under their noses must also be a reward for the gods.

Ding Xiang turned around and went back to the house to lie down and think about her thoughts.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao came home early in the afternoon, their faces were reddish and they had not drunk much wine.

After resting for two-quarters of an hour, the two of them went to the Qin Mansion carrying gifts.

The father and son came back in Xushichu, very drunk. Especially Ding Zhuang, who staggered. When Ding Zhao helped him back, his nose turned even redder.

Mrs. Zhang went to serve Ding Zhao, Baisha served Ding Zhuang, and Dingxiang also went to help grandpa twist the veil.

Ding Xiang didn't like her grandpa drinking too much. Thinking that she couldn't say anything she had been holding back all day, she became even more angry and pouted at Lao Gao.

While wiping her grandfather's face, she scolded her angrily, "I told him not to drink more, but he refused to listen. This is great, his nose is even redder, and he is not handsome anymore."

Ding Chang stuck his tongue out and said, "Granddaughter, don't blame me. I feel uncomfortable and want to vomit."

Ding Xiang said, "I drank too much, but it's not that I feel uncomfortable and want to vomit. I told you to drink less, but I didn't listen. When I get home, people will call you 'Ding Hong Nose' again."

Her voice was delicate and soft, her little mouth was pouted, and even if she was unhappy, her appearance was pleasing to the eye.

Ding Zhuang couldn't bear to let his granddaughter get angry and coaxed, "Don't be angry with Xiangxiang. I have been called red nose all my life and I don't care anymore."

White Shark lowered his head to endure the hard work and laughed.

Just after washing Ding Zhuang's feet, he heard a purring sound.

There are not many rooms here, and there are women, so Baisha always goes to stay somewhere else at night.

He left the small courtyard and went straight to the outer study.

Zhu Qian and his son are here, and they have just sent Qin Hai away.

Baisha went in and reported the details of the day for the Ding family members. When he talked about the conversation between Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang, both Zhu Qian and his son laughed.

That scene must have been interesting.

Zhu Qian said, "I want to talk about Qin Hai, how can he let the old shopkeeper drink so much wine and make the little girl unhappy."

Zhu Zhan also smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss Ding to pay so much attention to appearance. She was afraid that the old shopkeeper wouldn't be handsome."

After Bai Shark left, Zhu Qian said, "The third aunt is the daughter of my grandparents. The elders and my parents all favor her, and she also loves to act coquettishly. Alas, the precious and precious girl will not live well in the next few years. It’s so bad that I was bullied to death by two country women.”

Not only her, but all the Dong family members except herself had a miserable ending.

He sighed deeply, "Tomorrow the Ding family will go to Lu Mansion and Sun Mansion, and the day after tomorrow will be fine. Tomorrow morning let Tang Zi go and bring the old man to Jiaozhou, and we will treat them to a light meal the day after tomorrow."

Judging from the way the Ding family behaves, they are cautious and shrewd. They do not lose anyone they should win over, and they do not flatter others and put their interests first. Even if you are drunk, you will say what you should say and never say what you shouldn't.

Old shopkeeper Ding likes to brag. He only praises his grandsons for being smart and says nothing about Dingxiang.

Even when Qin Hai hinted that he could find a good doctor and asked if Ding Xiang needed medical treatment, both father and son dealt with it skillfully...

Is my father willing to give further hints?

Zhu Zhan responded, "Okay, I'll tell Uncle Qin and ask him to take Grandfather Qin into the city."

He is particularly willing to get to know the Ding family. With this family relationship, Xiangxiang's little cousin can spend more time with his mother, and her mother's health may be better.
