Fragrance Returned

The Hong family and his son also brought a chicken and four lanterns to the Zhang family.

Two big red lanterns are hung at the door for lighting, and two small rabbit lanterns are for children to play with.

Zhang Jinzhu clamored for it as soon as he saw it.

Zhang Laozhang liked this little grandson the most and gave him one to play with.

Zhang Jinshan is fifteen years old, and his family is looking for a wife for him.

Brother Hong was similar to him in age, and the two quickly talked about the same thing.

In the evening, a table of delicious food was prepared, and several men drank with the Hong family and his son. The three Dingxiang brothers and sisters were distinguished guests and also attended the main table.

Today's Zhang family is relatively wealthy, and unlike before, delicious food is only given to guests and elders, while others look on dryly.

The three brothers and sisters settled in the Zhang family with peace of mind.

Hong Da had nothing to do, so he took Zhang Jinshan to hunt in the mountains. They were lucky. They shot a roe deer on the first day, a wild goat on the second day, and a wild boar in the trap they set on the third day...

The father and son gave all the wild animals to the Zhang family. The Zhang family was very happy and enthusiastically allowed them to stay for a few more days.

There were so many wild animals that he couldn't finish them all, so Zhang Dabao kept some meat and took most of it to the mountains for takeout.

Mrs. Liu told Brother Hong one by one about the unmarried girls in Liuwa Village and Liujian Village. Although Brother Hong is lame, he is good-looking and has the skills to make lanterns. Many girls who want to go out are still willing.

But Brother Hong has a very high vision and didn't even take a fancy to it.

The Zhang family never thought of telling Zhang Qian to Brother Hong. One is that Brother Hong is lame and Zhang Qian can find someone better. One is that he knows that Brother Hong likes beautiful girls and Zhang Qian is average-looking.

Ding Liren, a young boy, studied behind closed doors every day, while Ding Xiang and Ding Lilai followed Zhang Qian and played around the river in the village. Feifei is flying in the sky, and Brother Hong is following him from a distance.

The people in the village knew that Feifei was the Zhang family's granddaughter's pet, and they were jealous and didn't dare to pay attention. Nowadays, the Zhang family is the richest in several villages in the mountains, and their son-in-law is a big shopkeeper outside the mountains, so they dare not provoke them.

Hong Da went back to Beiquan Village on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and said that those people had arrived the day before yesterday.

Not only senior officials from the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also senior officials from provincial capitals, prefectures, and the army, as well as the county magistrate and several officials from the county government went there.

Ding Zhao really became an official and was appointed deputy director of the Yu Heng Department of the Ministry of Industry, ranking seventh grade.

When the court needs him, he must obey the dispatch and go to the Yuheng Division in the capital and the arms manufacturing bureaus in various places. When he has nothing to do, he manages his own business.

I heard that Ding Zhao directly became an official in the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry. Even if it was a false title, it was a surprise to Ding Xiang and everyone else. I thought it would be good if he could get a small official position in the Jiaodong Arms Manufacturing Bureau, but it turns out how satisfied and valued the imperial court is with this fine iron.

The imperial court asked for this secret recipe and gave it to this small official. From now on, Ding Zhao can receive his salary.

This kind of secret recipe is closely related to the rise and fall of the imperial court, so I dare not not give it to him. If you don't give it, the emperor will label you as a rebel and kill your whole family. The secret recipe will still be his.

The weapons manufacturing of the Dali Dynasty was mainly managed by two departments. One is the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of the Arms Bureau in the capital. For convenience, there are also weapons manufacturing bureaus in several state capitals. One is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of the Military Staff Bureau.

After being granted this official title, Ding Zhao will definitely go to the capital to trial-produce weapons with people from the Ordnance Bureau and the Staff Bureau.

Ding Xiang thought more. Dad's occasional visits to the capital would be helpful in investigating the matter. Dad looks loyal, but is actually cunning.

When Zhang Laozhang heard that his son-in-law had become a seventh-rank official, he was so excited that he shed tears. He never dreamed that his son-in-law could become an official, or even a Beijing official.

"Zhi Niang is so lucky to be an official's wife."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "My father-in-law is also lucky. He has a son-in-law who is an official. You can enjoy the blessings when you grow old."

Zhang Dabao suggested, "This is a big happy event. Our family needs to invite a few tables."

Hong Da smiled and said, "Those people will stay in Gu'an Town for a few more days. After they leave, the villagers of Beiquan Village and the Ding family will treat us."

This means that if you want to treat someone, you have to wait until they leave.

Zhang Laozhang also felt that he should wait until the senior officials left before inviting them.

Although Ding Xiang did not see that scene, she could imagine how excited the Beiquan Village and Ding family members would be. For the first time in so many years, Beiquan Village and the Ding family had a court official.

Tao Weng's household registration is not Beiquan Village, so it does not count.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ding Lilai wanted to go to Baishui River to catch fish again. Zhang Jinshan took Ding Lilai, Ding Xiang, Ling'er, Brother Hong, Zhang Hui, and Zhang Jinzhu to the back of the village.

Brother Hong also knew that Ding Xiang was in danger at sea. Every time she came to the river, he would whisper to her not to go near the river.

Even though Lilac knew that there would be no whales or sharks in the river, she did not dare to get too close to the river.

She was frightened and a little dizzy.

She held Feifei and sat under a tree two or three feet away from the river bank. Brother Hong sat not far from her.

Only Zhang Jinshan went down to the river with his trouser legs rolled up, while others watched from the riverside.

The blue sky is far away, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, and the river flows from top to bottom.

Being so far away from the river gave Lilac the sense of security that there was solid ground beneath her.

Sitting here, you can also vaguely see Huangshi Mountain in the distance and the mud-walled courtyards and thatched roofs on the mountain.

Feifei looked at Chicken Head Peak and cried "coo-coo", especially wanting to invite the little master to its home.

Lilac wants to go even more. There is spiritual energy there, and there is more than one Ganoderma lucidum growing there, and maybe more than one ginseng root.

But she is now nearly 50 pounds. If she brings something back, it will definitely weigh more than 50 pounds. It is so heavy that Feifei cannot hold it that far.

Even if she loses weight and Feifei can hold it in her mouth, she won't dare to start from here for fear of being discovered.

Unless grandpa and dad cooperate, the starting point is in Yellowstone Mountain.

Now Dingxiang can only place her hope in Feifei and let her carry the Ganoderma lucidum and Mi Zhixiang home.

Ding Xiang turned her back to Brother Hong, pointed a little finger there and whispered, "Chicken Head Peak, Chicken Head Peak..."

For so many days here, as long as there was no one around, she would point to the place and say these words to the little thing repeatedly.

The concept of these three words must be strengthened for it.

I wasn't very lucky today. I didn't catch any big fish, but I caught half a basket of small green shrimps in a fishing basket.

Zhang Jinshan smiled at Brother Hong and said, "My second aunt is the best at making drunken shrimps. Let her make them for you to try today."

Then he said to Dingxiang and Dingli, "You are delicate, my father will not let you eat that food."

Ding Lilai said hurriedly, "My sister is delicate, I am not delicate at all." Seeing Ding Xiang looking at her unhappily, he added, "Sister, don't eat that kind of shrimp, I will beat us if I find out."

After several people went home, Liu cleaned the shrimps several times and put them in the water to spit out sand. We also prepared rice wine, white wine, onion, ginger, garlic, chili, coriander, vinegar and other seasonings.

Dingxiang had eaten drunken shrimp several times in her previous life and liked it very much.

The environment of this world is not polluted, and the Baishui River flows down from the mountains. There are no human settlements in the upper reaches, so the fish and shrimp raised must be clean.

In the evening, half a bowl of drunken shrimps was brought to the big table, and a bowl was brought to the small table.

Thank you Menghui Moganshan for the reward, and thank you for all your support.
