Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang had a guess. If Xun Qiandai was at home ten years ago, she might not have discovered that her daughter had been replaced.

He is a "fairy child". Even if he doesn't like to travel, he won't put too much thought into his family, children or worldly affairs.

Ding Xiang also saw Dong Yihe's attitude towards several cousins. He valued Xun Qianli and Ding Zhao, dealt with Xun Qiandai, pitied Shen Yu, and was speechless towards Ding Chi.

Ding Xiang glanced at Ding Zhao's father and suddenly wanted to thank the baby thief.

If she hadn't been stolen, she wouldn't have been able to get to Ding's house. Then, she will not enjoy the father's love that is like a mountain, like light, or like a trickle in both lives, nor will she get out of the psychological shadow of her previous life so quickly...

The cousins ​​and sisters-in-law greeted each other, and the four Dingxiang brothers kowtowed to Xun Qianli and his wife, Xun Qiandai and Shen Yu in turn.

Xun Qianli and his wife were very good people. Everyone praised them and gave them gifts.

The meeting gifts were three pony mutton-fat jade pieces and an emerald lotus jade hairpin.

The four brothers and sisters kowtowed to Xun Qiandai again.

Xun Qiandai passed by the three brothers and his eyes fell on Ding Xiang.

Before he could speak, Ding Lilai spoke first.

"I like arithmetic. I have read many books by Second Cousin Xun, and I especially admire you. I have saved a lot of arithmetic problems and want to ask you for help. My sister said that you can definitely...answer my doubts."

No matter how stupid Ding Lilai was, he never said, "You will definitely accept me as your apprentice."

Xun Qiandai turned his eyes from Ding Xiang to him and said, "It's rare for a child to devote his mind to arithmetic. To promote national strength, we rely not only on the Four Books and Five Classics, but also on the laws of nature and natural objects."

The voice is cool and nice.

Although he affirmed Ding Lilai, he did not say that he would answer his doubts, nor did he say that he would not answer his doubts.

Ding Lilai was a little disappointed by his distant attitude, and his face turned red.

At this time, Ding Xiang regretted that she thought it was simple before. Xun Qiandai's cognition is not exactly the same as hers. His thoughts are more advanced and not pedantic, but his personality is too cold and cold. I wonder if he can realize the young boy's wish.

Xun Qiandai raised his hand and said, "They are all good children. Get up."

The four brothers and sisters stood up, and Xun Qiandai turned his eyes to Ding Xiang, with a smile on his lips.

The beauty smiled, like a spring breeze, and the room felt a little brighter.

He said, "Junior sister is not simple. She has great talent in painting at such a young age. Brother Wei saw the 'family portrait' you painted for Master and Mrs., and the idea was unique and unconventional. I also heard from Yu Yu that my junior sister was very fond of figure painting. I admire my unique insights..."

He calls each other "junior sister". In his eyes, junior sisters who share common interests are much closer than cousins.

His attitude allowed Ding Xiang to regain some confidence.

In order for Ding Li to succeed in his apprenticeship, and for future great events, Ding Xiang must make Xun Qiandai comfortable. Since he doesn't value the relationship between cousins, he should strengthen the relationship between senior fellow students.

Ding Xiang smiled brightly and said, "Second Senior Brother, you are so grateful. Sister, I have admired Second Senior Brother's name for a long time, and I have been yearning for it for a long time. I spent a lot of money and asked people to buy your masterpieces. I was deeply inspired after reading it, and I have a kind of literary talent. It is so special and has a feeling that it will be unparalleled if it is spread.

"Master often praised Second Senior Brother and gave me your red gold quill. Many of my ideas and inspirations were brought to me by that quill."

Xun Qiandai didn't listen to Ding Xiang's previous words, but the last words made him very interested. He blinked and said, "Oh? Let's go and learn from each other..."

Xun Qianli said hurriedly, "Second brother, let's talk about knowledge later."

Xun Yibo winked, and a servant brought up a tray with four greeting gifts on it.

The meeting gift was three stone inkstones with reliefs of bamboo patterns and one purple sand inkstone with reliefs of wealth and flowers blooming.

They are all valuable famous inkstones.

The brothers and sisters kowtowed to Shen Yu and his wife again.

Shen Yu is only half a year older than Xun Qiandai, not to mention much older than Xun Qiandai, but also seven or eight years older than Xun Qianli. He is very thin, has a goatee, speaks softly, and smiles kindly.

Since she was little, her biological father has not loved her and her stepmother has been mischievous. Her health has deteriorated and her personality has become introverted and cowardly.

Ding Xiang sympathized with him and felt that he was even more pitiful than her previous life.

Mrs. Shen's second wife, Mrs. Min, has a delicate appearance, but her clothes and jewelry are very shabby. Her hands and feet are timid, and there seems to be some unspeakable grievance in her eyes.

Shen Yu smiled and said, "The children are all excellent, and the two cousins ​​are lucky."

The servants brought out the greeting gifts again.

There are three jade handles and a red gold hairpin.

Then the younger members of the Xun family kowtowed to Ding Zhao and his wife, Ding Chi and his wife.

Ding Zhao and his wife gave each of them a colorful bracelet strung with brown honey-scented ornaments, while Ding Chi and his wife gave each of them a jade bracelet.

Xun Xiang was away, so Xun Yibo received her two gifts on her behalf.

Ding Chi and Tang Shi remembered Ding Zhuang's instructions and just smiled and said nothing, which was not wrong.

Afterwards, brothers and sisters greet each other.

Xun Yiqing, Xun Yitang, and Xun Yibo look somewhat alike. They are handsome and elegant. At first glance, they are members of the Xun family.

Xun Qianli, Xun Qiandai and the fake Xunxiang who were not present also looked like this.

Perhaps because of this, the fragrance of the fake Xunxiang suddenly disappeared, and no one in the Xun family had any suspicion.

With this family, Ding Xiang is indeed not like the Xun family.

Ding Xiang also had a feeling that Xun Yibo looked at her differently than he looked at brother Ding Lichun.

Xun Qiandai looked at her in a different way, it was appreciation. And this little brother is warm.

Is this the feeling of brother and sister?

But even the biological father and daughter didn't feel anything.

Memories that had long ago flooded into Ding Xiang's mind, and the little black and white face that looked like a piece of paper became clear, and then overlapped with this face.

The little piece of paper lay on her body and smelled the fragrance, and said very stinkingly, "Other people's sisters don't smell good, only my sister smells good...My sister is more beautiful than the flowers in the yard...Oh, I like my sister so much..."

She was lying on the bed, and Mrs. Zheng came to see her. Mother Li said that she was asleep, and Mrs. Zheng stood at the door for a long time, unwilling to leave...

During the month at the Princess Mansion, the three-year-old young lady made Ding Xiang feel the warmest.

When Ding Xiang looked at Xun Qiandai, she didn't see him as her father. But looking at this brother, my heart is full of warmth, and I really want to reminisce with him.

She suppressed her inner excitement. The three of them were all cousins, so it was hard for them to act too different.

Xun Yiqing smiled and said, "My father often praises cousin Ding for her good looks and intelligence. He says that cousin Lichun is capable of both literary and martial arts and is responsible. Cousin Liren has become a scholar at a young age. Cousin Lilai is considered a good scholar. We are all relatives. From now on, Everyone, please get along well and come to my house to play if you have nothing to do..."

Several people praised him for being like an elder brother.

Ding Lichun and Ding Liren also spoke kindly.

Xun Yitang is relatively introverted and only responsible for laughing.

Xun Yibo agreed, then smiled at Ding Xiang, "What a coincidence. My sister and my cousin have the same name. She is only one day older than her. She also likes painting and reading. If you get closer in the future, we will definitely become handkerchief friends. …”

It doesn't sound right, but the kid is cute and friendly. (End of chapter)
