Fragrance Returned

A guard's horse whip almost hit Zhang, so Zhang quickly pulled Ding Xiang back and stood against the wall.

Lilac was furious and glared at the group of people.

The carriage approached and saw the canopy-covered carriage at the front, which was pulled by three horses. The license plate read "Dongyang Princess Mansion".

If the princess sat on it, there would be four horses.

Xun Yibo is attending the Imperial College today.

Then, the person sitting in the car is either a Xun Prince Consort or a fake Xun Xiang.

When the carriage passed in front of Lilac, the purple-red satin curtain suddenly opened, revealing the face of a little girl.

The little girl has fair skin, almond-shaped eyes, and a pointed chin, and is very beautiful. There are two hostas on the head, which feels a little familiar.

Her eyes were cold and distant, passing over Dingxiang and the others like passing over a green wall or several pillars. The car curtain was lowered and the little girl disappeared.

The carriage and horse turned into Dongrong Street, passed the first house, and entered the corner gate of the second house.

The men and horses walked away, and a few people watching the excitement started talking.

"That is the head of Xiangxiang County. She is both talented and beautiful. They say she will definitely be the most beautiful among the four beauties in the capital when she grows up."

"Oh, people are different, flowers have different shades of red. My mother is the princess, my father is the number one scholar, and I am destined to be rich and powerful as soon as I am born."

"It's because of how many good things he did in his previous life that he could be born into such a family in this life."

"I heard that when I was born, the house was filled with fragrance, and many butterflies and birds flew out of the window. Because of this auspicious sign, the Holy One gave me the name Xunxiang and made me the head of Xiangxiang County."

…

Luo Er also whispered, "They say that the Lord of Xiangxiang County looks like Prince Consort Xun. She is a hard-to-find beauty. It's true."

Ding Xiang suddenly found it boring and didn't want to read it anymore.

She thought that after ten years of preparation, she could remain calm in the face of fake Xunxiang. But seeing the whip that almost hit Zhang and those contemptuous eyes, she was still extremely unhappy.

"Master, I'm hungry."

Ding Zhuang said, "Let's go to Mingyue Tower for dinner." He murmured in a low voice, "No one can be more beautiful than my granddaughter. Huh, she is as thin as a monkey, what the hell..."

The princess's daughter is so annoying, and the princess isn't very good either.

The "female consort plot" that had haunted Ding Qiang for half his life was gone.

Mrs. Zhang quickly reminded in a low voice, "Dad, this is the capital city."

It means you should never talk nonsense.

Ding Zhuang was unconvinced and whispered to Ding Xiang, "That person is hard to get along with at first glance. Don't play with her in the future."

"I'm not playing with her."

On the fourth floor of Mingyue Building, there is a colorful silk lantern hanging outside. Although the lanterns were not lit, the different colors were very festive.

It was lunch time and the place was full of people.

Wang Kai said to the waiter, "I want a private room."

The waiter bowed and smiled, "We have them on the second and third floors, please."

Several people went to a private room on the second floor.

Ding Zhuang ordered the roast duck and roasted meat that Ding Xiang wanted to eat, and ordered a few more dishes and half a bottle of wine.

Lilac's food was tasteless, and her little mouth kept pouting.

Ding Zhuang couldn't see his granddaughter being unhappy, and kept saying things like "My granddaughter is beautiful, my granddaughter is handsome, my granddaughter is awesome."

Seeing her grandfather's cautious look, Ding Xiang laughed. Then she pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly, which made the old man very happy.

Why are you angry with thieves and robbers? Find a way to reveal their identity and then pick yourself out.

No matter how wealthy the Princess Mansion on Dongyang Street is, she still likes this home...

Tomorrow I will try to trick the old monk and see what enlightenment it can give me.

Most of Lilac's treasure rested on the old monk, and he didn't think about many things in detail.

After dinner, a few people took a car to Yinfeng Street.

It's not very far, it took nearly three quarters of an hour.

Wasn't this the path that Mrs. He took when she was carrying her?

It can be considered as a return visit to the old place.

Yinfeng Street is not as wide and prosperous as Changshun Street, but it is more lively and has a stronger market atmosphere. People come and go, and the cries of roadside vendors come and go.

Mrs. Zhang became panicked when she thought of the past, and pulled her daughter's hand tighter.

Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion is the third building from the west. It has two floors, black tiles and green walls, vermilion carved doors and windows, and twelve facades. It looks very grand.

The owners got out of the car and went to the front entrance, while the coachman drove the two cars to the back door.

Shopkeeper Gong and Ding Sifu came out with smiles. Ding Zhuang couldn't stand looking at these things, so he was accompanied by Ding Sifu to the backyard. Shopkeeper Gong accompanied Ding Xiang and Zhang to look around upstairs and downstairs.

They are absolutely satisfied with shopkeeper Gong's work.

Praise her a few more words.

After sitting in the backyard for a while, I went home.

It took most of the day to complete this circle, and it was already dusk when I got home.

Ding Xiang first went to Ding Zhuang's house to get half an inch of good ginseng, which the old monk had asked for a long time ago.

Back at Zixuan, Silk'er reported, "Sister-in-law Yang from the main courtyard came over and said that the ingredients she asked her to prepare are ready."

There is a stove in the small kitchen in the main courtyard.

Ding Xiang is going to make some vegetarian snacks in the evening and bring them to Master Mingyuan tomorrow.

After washing, I went to the main courtyard hall, where the whole family gathered.

Ding Chi and Tang Shi were smiling. They bought a house in Qili Hutong and built a small garden on the third floor. They spent 1,800 taels of silver.

It's relatively close to here, just over two-quarters of an hour's walk.

Also bought a shop on Jinque Street. The shop covers a relatively large area and cost 7,200 taels of silver. Ding Chi will open a jade shop there.

In addition, they also bought a shop each on Beihu Street, Baiyang Street, and Shihe Lane. These three streets were relatively remote, and they spent 3,600 taels of silver, 2,900 taels of silver, and 260 taels of silver respectively.

These three shops are for rent.

There are more than 10,000 taels of silver left, which should be used to renovate the shop and home, buy equipment, hire jade craftsmen, and go to Central and South Province to buy jade.

After this calculation, there is not much left in my pocket.

Ding Chi has always believed that wealth should not be revealed in vain. But these are all accounts on the surface, and they are said honestly. If I have no money in the future, the old man can help me a little.

Ding Zhuang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He stood up and slapped him with several big hands.

"I'll beat you to death, you're a waste of money. These things cost nearly 20,000 silver. It's enough to buy one shop to open a jade shop. What's the point of buying three shops? If you can't rent them out, all the money will be wasted." drift."

Tang yelled in a high-pitched voice, "Dad, my boss didn't spend any of your money, how could you beat him like this? He is also your son..."

Ding Chi rubbed his sore forehead and said, "Dad, this morning I specially looked at Tang's Yintang and Jinwowo Yinwowo. They are so bright that they are sure to make a profit."

Tang became happy again and giggled at her husband.

Li Magao also reported on his visit to the dental shop. Many people are buying property recently, and shops and fields in good locations and at reasonable prices are almost sold out. The remaining ones are either very expensive or not in very good locations, and many are still in suburban counties.

Among them was a shop on Changshun Street, which was exactly what Ding Xiang was interested in.

Ding Xiang asked, "How much does that shop cost?" (End of Chapter)
