Fragrance Returned

Ding Chi drank a glass of wine and said proudly, "You know, it's not my fault that I lost money before, it was Lingling who tricked me. My previous ideal was to be the richest man in Linshui County, but now I have Xiangxiang, and my ideal Even more ambitious, if you want to be an imperial merchant, you may even be able to donate an official position. Lingling, by then you will be the royal wife, and Li Lai will also become the young master of the official family."

Ding Zhao couldn't help but tease, "Zhizi, you're not drunk yet, why are you talking drunkenly?"

Ding Chi said, "Brother, you don't believe it, right? Let's wait and see. What do you think of my brother in five years?"

Ding Zhao put down his wine glass and said, "Zhizi, no matter how prosperous others are, you must be able to do it yourself. Don't be too ambitious and too weak. No matter what you do, you must calm down and learn first. For example, when doing business, you must first learn from Tang's family, and then you can do it after you have learned it. do it yourself……"

Ding Chi disliked his eldest brother's preaching the most, so he waved his hand and said, "My master said that I can't do anything, and I only have talent for fortune telling. Since I can't do anything, what else should I learn? I'm an accurate fortune teller, and I married Wang Fu's Lingling , you can make a fortune no matter what you do.”

After hearing this, Ding Zhuang had the urge to snatch the money back from him.

Even the old Taoist priests said that he was not good at anything and still made a shitty amount of money.

Ding Liren said, "Second uncle, what kind of business do you want to do? Just look at it."

Ding Chi said, "My master only taught me the appearance of great prosperity and the appearance of extreme prosperity. He said that with this ability, I would have no worries about food and drink in my life. So far, I have only seen one appearance of extreme prosperity." People are like Xiangxiang. Two prosperous people, one is Lingling, and she is a prosperous husband.

"There is also a young master who has a prosperous family for three generations. I don't know him, so I wanted to follow him and tell his family so I could get some reward money. But they ignored me. I never saw the kid again, and I don't know. Which one does it belong to?"

He was embarrassed to say that the family thought he was a philanderer and almost beat him.

Zhang said, "My uncle once said that he saw the county magistrate and his son. Such a high-ranking official must have a prosperous and extremely prosperous appearance. And those rich people should also have good looks. Why does my uncle only have a good appearance?" Can you spot three people?"

Ding Chi explained, "There are less than one in 10,000 people with a prosperous face. People with such a prosperous appearance as Xiangxiang are rare in a hundred years. Some blessings are not as prosperous as Dawang or extremely prosperous, and I can't tell. There are still some people. To be an official, rich, or to be a wife is because of the blessings of the ancestors, or the blessings of a prosperous person in the family, not himself. Of course, he does not have this appearance.

"For example, in our family, Tang's syndrome is very prosperous. Even if I don't have good fortune, she can still make me prosperous. If I am prosperous, my son will be prosperous. But the number of prosperous Tang's syndrome is limited, and it can only make my husband prosperous. At most, I will be prosperous." The richest man in Shuixian County. But Xiangxiang is extremely prosperous, but it can prosper our family, including her husband's family, and even... Hehe, Xiangxiang is my niece, I can also borrow money. Now I have a double blessing, I want to be an imperial merchant .”

Ding Lilai added, "Dad said that my sister is prosperous, so I have to please my good sister and ignore me and my grandpa."

Ding Chi smiled dryly and said, "Dad didn't mean that. He asked his son to put his sister first."

Ding Zhuang is not angry, just put Xiangxiang first. Although he very much hoped that Xiangxiang would be extremely prosperous that could only be seen in a century, he still didn't quite believe this son who was talking nonsense and had no clue. He had an intuition that he was trying to deceive people, or that the old Taoist priest was deceiving people.

He said, "Don't trust fortune tellers. The most important thing is that you are capable. Listen to your elder brother and learn more from the Tang family. Also, no matter what you do, you are not allowed to break the law. You must have a long-term vision and do not put the whole family at risk. Get in harm’s way.”

Ding Chi ignored the first half of his words and promised, "Don't worry, dad, I will never do anything illegal and I can't bear to harm Lingling and my son."

It means that it doesn't matter if you harm others except your own wife and son.

Tang loved to hear Ding Chi's sweet words, so she raised her head and flashed her electric eyes at Ding Chi a few times, and the two looked at each other and smiled again.

Ding Zhuang, who was in a good mood, was so angry that he threw the wine bowl on the table and cursed, "Where are you looking? Look at the food. Why are you looking at your wife so closely in front of a whole family? It's embarrassing."

Ding Chi reluctantly looked back and muttered, "I often say that my father likes to look at my mother the most, and she will be in a daze when he sees her..."

Ding Zhao quickly intercepted his words, "Drink, drink."

At the end of the New Year's Eve, Ding Zhuang took his son and grandson to the mountain to pay homage to his ancestors' graves, while Mrs. Zhang was busy in the kitchen with Lilac on her back.

There was light snow falling outside and a cold wind was blowing.

The kitchen is filled with the aroma of fried cabbage, fried radish balls, fried tofu, and pork and pig intestines cooked in a big pot...

Ding Xiang sucked the saliva, even though she knew she couldn't eat it, she was still very interested.

Tang ate some melon seeds in the house and then went into the kitchen to help. She didn't know how to cook and light the fire, so she helped peel onions and garlic, and then scooped up the fried radish balls or sprinkled them with seeds.

When Ding Zhuang and others came back at the end of noon, the house became even more lively.

Ding Zhuang carried Ding Xiang over, and Ding Lilai ran to Ding Xiang, stretched out ten fat fingers and started saying, "I want to be good to Xiangxiang, I want to be good to Xiangxiang..."

Although everyone thought Ding Lilai's behavior was stupid, his kindness to Xiangxiang still made them happy.

Ding Liren flattered her, "If you are good to my sister, I will also be good to you."

Ding Lichun said, "Whoever bullies the third brother in the future, the third brother will come back and tell the elder brother, and the elder brother will help you beat him."

When Ding Zhao saw Ding Li coming to clasp his fingers, he pulled him to teach him how to count. Ding Zhao taught me the last time my nephew came, and he couldn't even count to three.

Ding Zhao stretched out a finger and said, "Read after me, one,"

Ding Lilai was a good boy who was eager to learn. He held out a fat finger and said, "One,"

"two,"

"two,"

"three,"

"three,"

After counting with five fingers, Ding Zhao taught him again coherently, "One, two, three, four, five."

Ding Lilai followed, "One, two, four, five."

He looked at the raised little finger and said, "Hey, why is there still a finger left?"

Ding Zhao corrected, "Three, four, five."

"Three, four, five."

"one two three,"

"one two three,"

"Okay, say it again, one, two, three, four, five."

"One, two, four, five."

After teaching it more than a dozen times, Ding Lilai still missed the word "three".

The hot-tempered Ding Zhuang looked up to the sky with anger and secretly cursed hundreds of "stupid" people.

If it is the eldest grandson or the second grandson, he must be beaten. But it was a rare trip home for this grandson, and he had such a father and mother, so he couldn't bear to beat him.

Ding Zhao changed another method and taught him "Hundred Family Surnames".

"Remember me, Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li,"

"Zhao, Qian, Ding, Li."

"It's not Ding Li, it's Sun Li."

"Sun Li."

"That's right. Read it again, Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li."

"Zhao, Qian, Ding, Li."

"Sun Li."

"Sun Li."

"Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li."

"Zhao, Qian, Ding, Li."
