Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang was not used to it when the house suddenly became empty.

She misses her father and her little brother. I hope these two people who have earned honor for their family can hit the ground running and achieve success immediately.

There was a spring rain at the end of the month, which lasted for two days. It moistened the earth and made the green trees greener and the flowers more beautiful.

Many flowers in the backyard are in bloom, colorful and fragrant. Lilacs are also blooming, not many, not prosperous, lavender, dotted in the rain and fog.

The little purple flowers in the rain are always so poetic and picturesque.

When Ding Xiang had nothing to do, she would go to the backyard pavilion with an umbrella and sit there for a while, looking at the flowers and listening to the rain.

The years are quiet.

On the afternoon of the first day of April, the sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the small village and also broke the tranquility of Lilac.

One of Zhu Qian's soldiers arrived.

"My general asked me to deliver a letter to the old shopkeeper."

Although Ding Zhuang was illiterate, this letter still had to be handed over to him.

Ding Xiang hurriedly asked someone to go to "Baotie" to call Ding Zhuang back.

Ding Zhuang hurried back and asked Li Maigao to drink with his soldiers, and then arranged for him to stay in the upper room in the west courtyard for one night.

Ding Zhuang took Ding Xiang to the east wing of the east courtyard and said, "Read it to me."

Lilac opened her faith.

Master Mingyuan taught Zen for three days from April 13th to 15th at Guangling Temple in Zilongshan on the outskirts of Shizhou Prefecture.

It is best for Dingxiang to set off by boat on the seventh day of the lunar month. If the weather is good, he can reach Henghe County in four to five days. He will then take a carriage one day to reach Shizhou Prefecture and meet the master on the fifteenth day.

They were protected on the road by their men.

Zhu Zhan and Qin Hai have gone to Cangtai Prefecture for official business. Cangtai is not far from Shizhou Prefecture and will meet them...

Finally, I wrote the address of the house in Shizhou Prefecture.

Ding Zhuang said, "Let's leave on the seventh day of the lunar month. You and Tao Weng ask for leave and say that I will take you to Guangling Temple to pray for your father and Liren. Burning incense there will be efficacious. I hope your father can make great contributions to the court. Ren can pass the government examination and the college examination."

"good."

Lilac looked calm on the outside, but was in a turmoil inside.

Purple Dragon Mountain!

Purple snakes may also be called purple dragons.

The old monk set the meeting place there. Could it be that he was hinting that he should take the snake slough with him?

If so, it really is God’s will in the dark.

He only got the snake slough more than ten days ago, and he figured it out last year. Considering that his master can even calculate what will happen a hundred years from now, he should have no problem calculating what will happen in half a year.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, bring the snake slough with you, and then ask what disease the purple gourd can cure and what happened.

After closing the door at night, Dingxiang hugged Feifei and whispered about it quietly, and then took out the wooden box containing the snake slough and the purple gourd.

She specifically asked Ding Zhao how to preserve Chinese medicine. There was some hygroscopic lime powder in the drawer where the wooden box was placed. When the wind was strong and no one was around, she would take the wooden box out to dry.

Opening the box, the scent of the medicine becomes stronger.

She picked up the purple gourd and smelled it. The smell was slightly stronger. The snake slough has no smell, but is more lustrous.

It should be a mutually nourishing relationship between these two things.

She laid the snake's slough on the bed and spread it out, like a thin translucent purple snake lying on the mattress, which was quite scary.

I measured it with a ruler and found that it was five feet eight inches and nearly two meters long.

She couldn't bear to give away such a good thing, she could only give a little bit.

Mingjue is an eminent monk, he wouldn't do anything to rob other people's things, would he?

Dingxiang put away the things, hugged Feifei and said, "I'm leaving soon. You go home and play with Xiaozi. Tell it that I miss it too."

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

Lilac was running back and forth in the room again. In order to thank Feifei, she would give Feifei a benefit every other day during this period.

Feifei was so happy that she spread her wings and jumped on the bed.

The next day was the second day of junior high school, and Ding Xiang studied painting with Tao Weng.

After the class, she asked for another ten and a half days off.

Tao Weng frowned and was unwilling.

Ding Xiang shook his sleeves, and first said what Ding Zhuang taught her, and then said, "Didn't the teacher say that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles? It's rare for me to go out and gain experience, so just let me go..."

Tao Weng was helpless and asked her to attend classes for four days in a row. She couldn't just play outside and had to draw a few pictures to come back.

During dinner, Ding Zhuang asked Zhang to pack their things, and asked Li McGao to buy two ferry tickets to Henghe County on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow.

Ding Lilai bulged his eyes and said, "I want to go too."

My sister left before, but my second brother was still at home. But now that they were all gone, he was the only one left, and he didn't want to.

Ding Zhuang uttered two words, "No."

Ding Lilai threw down his chopsticks and shouted loudly, "My sister can go, why can't I go? I want to go."

"no."

"I'm going. Wuwuwu..." Ding Lilai grinned and howled.

Ding Zhuang couldn't bear to explain, so he stood up, picked him up and slapped him a few times, "You bastard, the older you get, the more disobedient you are. I'll beat you to death."

Ding Xiang quickly stood up and pulled Ding Zhuang back, "Master, please tell me if you have something to say."

Ding Zhuang sat down and continued eating.

Ding Lilai was upset, crying, fussing and jumping, "My brother and sister are gone, why should I be left alone? If I don't do it, I have to go, I just have to go...ah~~ah~~ "

Ding Zhuang was so angry that the veins on his forehead swelled, so he stood up and beat him again, even harder.

Ding Xiang quickly pulled Ding Lilai out.

Ding Lilai made a fuss for more than an hour, and Dingxiang made a few more wishes to him before he went to sleep with his eyes red and swollen.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, at dawn, Ding Xiang and others had breakfast.

Ding Xiang held Feifei up and lifted it up, and Feifei understood what she meant.

Feifei soared into the sky and circled around the Ding family, flying higher and higher towards the mountains.

Dingshan drove the mule cart, and Dingxiang, Dingzhuang, and Ling'er got on it.

Ding Xiang patted her chest, where she held a snake slough. This stuff might be worth a thousand pieces of gold, but she didn't feel safe leaving it anywhere else, so she had to fold it into small pieces and put it in her purse.

Ding Li came to take them to the entrance of the village.

Ding Lilai's eyes were filled with tears again, "Sister, come back soon, I miss you."

My little brother's emotions are always so straightforward.

Ding Xiang said, "Okay, I'll bring a lot of delicious food to my brother."

Ding Zhuang glared at him, "Listen to Third Grandpa and Uncle Li, don't be naughty or get into trouble. If you dare to disobey, see how I deal with you when I come back."

Ding Lilai pouted, but nodded.

When Ding Xiang came to the dock again, she was filled with emotions.

The first time I came here was when my parents carried me from the capital. She couldn't see anything, and she felt lucky to have finally escaped from the clutches of old witch Xun.

After seven and a half years of peace and happiness, she came here again.

At first, she thought she had to return to the capital to interact with the Xun family, but she didn't expect that she would have an intersection this time before she returned to the capital.

The person I hope to meet is Xun Qiandai, to see what this neurotic biological father is like. Thinking of him calling her "niece", Ding Xiang couldn't help but want to curse.

The pier was crowded with people, and there were more than a dozen large and medium-sized ships docked, including one-deck, two-deck, and a three-deck luxury ship.
