Fragrance Returned

Although Ding Chi is selfish, he is not a bad person. He is the son of Grandpa Ding Zhuang and Grandma Ruyue. Yuhualang wine is indeed good. The most important thing is that he has unusual abilities...

In his family, Xunxiang will definitely help.

Xun Xiang said, "Second uncle, don't rush for success. If you want to be a tribute wine, you must do your best."

Is there a way?

Ding Chi was so excited that he hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay, second uncle will study it and do the best."

Xunxiang went to Zhuxuan and had dinner with Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao and Ding Shan.

Although Ding Zhuang recognized the reality, he felt uncomfortable staying here, and Xun Xiang could not accompany him every day. He wanted to go back to Beiquan Village to live for a while and talk to Ruyue's grave.

This is also what Xunxiang hopes. Wait until he calms down and can face reality calmly before coming back.

Several people discussed it and found out that Ding Zhao was busy and Ding Chi was not considerate to him, so they asked Ding Shan, who was good at talking and taking care of others, to accompany him back.

By the way, I’ll take Feifei and Heiwa back to live there for a while.

During this period Feifei was like a noisy sparrow, making endless noises every day.

Get ready, we will set off the day after tomorrow, on the 14th of the twelfth lunar month, and try to return to Linshui County before the end of the year.

In winter, the canal is not open to navigation, so we can only travel by land. The journey takes about half a month.

Wait until next spring to come back.

Ding Zhuang was very drunk, and Ding Xiang did not dare to stop him from drinking today.

After serving Ding Zhuang to bed and Ding Shan leaving, Ding Zhao handed Xun Xiang the deeds of shares such as "Baotie" and "Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion" and the deed of the "Sipin Study" with a changed name.

The two discussed Ding Zhuang's return to Beiquan Village and Ding Xiang's return to Zixuan.

I don't know when it started to snow again, and the night wind blew.

Standing in the small courtyard, looking at the small window with orange light, Xunxiang felt warm.

She knew that her mother in the small window was waiting for her.

Luo Er reminded, "Girl, come into the house quickly."

Xun Xiang walked in and felt a rush of hot air.

Mrs. Zhang took off her cloak herself. The girl brought hot water, and Mrs. Zhang personally wiped her face and hands.

He murmured softly, "It's cold, why don't you cover your mouth and nose..."

Xunxiang was not used to it after not hearing her talk for several days.

The mother and daughter sat down on the Arhat bed, and Ding Zhen sat on a chair beside them.

Xunxiang told Ding Zhuang and Ding Shan about returning to Beiquan Village.

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "There is nothing we can do about this damn weather. We have old neighbors in Beiquan Village, we have 'Bao Iron', and we can often go up the mountain to chat with my mother-in-law... I don't have time to think about it, so that's fine."

Xun Xiang nodded, "Mom, get ready. I will also bring some things to the Zhang family's grandpa, aunts, and relatives..."

Ding Zhen said, "I miss Beiquan Village after being away for so long. I really want to go back with you."

Mrs. Zhang said, "It's such a cold day, your grandma won't agree."

After chatting and joking for a while, Ding Zhen returned to the guest house contentedly.

Xunxiang took out the gifts for her family.

Zhang was shocked when she saw the shining golden pearl.

"Xiangxiang, I can't accept such a good baby girl. I'll leave you to make jewelry by yourself. Also, if you bring so many things back, Princess Dongyang will be unhappy. Think about that home more in the future, don't think about moving here. Something is not good."

Xun Xiang said, "I still have three gold pearls, which my mother will wear as jewelry and will be given to my two daughters-in-law in the future. My maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother specially told them not to forget your kindness in bringing me up. These are my private houses, and they should be taken care of by others." No…”

The mother and daughter talked until midnight before falling asleep.

The next day, Ding Lichun and Ding Liren left before dawn, and Xunxiang went to Zhuxuan to accompany Ding Zhuang.

The grandfather and grandson talked quietly for a long time, and at early noon Xunxiang said goodbye to Dong's house.

Ding Zhuang shrugged his red nose and suppressed tears.

He promised his granddaughter that he would no longer shed tears because of Xunxiang's departure.

Xunxiang smiled at him and said, "I will be able to come back the day after tomorrow to see you off. I also miss Beiquan Village, my grandpa, my aunt, my uncle, my sister Zhang Qian, my sister Sanfen, and my sister Xia He. Oh, And the lobby sister-in-law...don’t forget what I said.”

Ding Zhuang said, "I won't forget, I won't forget, I remember it all."

Dingshan smiled and said, "If your father forgets, Third Grandpa will remind him."

Everyone waved goodbye.

Arriving at the door of Dong's house, Dong Ping was already waiting at the main entrance.

Today he took special leave to wait for Xunxiang at home.

He cupped his fists and smiled, "Princess Xiangxiang, my parents are anxious to see you."

Xunxiang smiled and said, "I miss them too."

"You only want my parents, but not us?"

"Think, I miss my big brother and sister-in-law."

After entering the main gate, the two took a sedan chair to the main courtyard.

Dong Yihe and his wife were waiting anxiously, and when they saw her coming, they narrowed their eyes with a smile. Especially Dong Yihe, who is serious and upright, rarely smiles like this.

Mrs. Dong said, "We are still afraid that my uncle will be reluctant to let you go and force you to stay..."

The rice red cotton is quite plump, and she wears thick clothes in winter, so it's hard to tell whether she's pregnant or not.

Xun Xiang smiled and said, "I dreamed yesterday that my sister-in-law gave birth to a boy, and he looked a little like me."

She was telling the truth. Yesterday she really dreamed that Mi Hongmian gave birth to a boy.

Dong Yihe laughed loudly, "We like both boys and girls. Like Xiangxiang, she looks like my grandfather, and she looks like the virtuous queen, good, good."

Dong Yihe believed in Xunxiang's dream and felt that he would definitely get a grandson like Xiangxiang.

Mi Hongmian held her belly and smiled happily.

She knew that her husband's family had few heirs, and she dreamed of giving birth to a boy.

It was already late noon, wine and food were placed on the table, and five people ate at one table.

Several people talked and laughed softly.

This is the most relaxing meal for Xun Xiang in so many days.

She is surrounded by people she wants to see, and she can say whatever she wants without going through her brain.

After the meal, Mi Hongmian felt tired and went back to the yard to rest.

The four of them sat in a side room and huddled on the kang to talk.

Xun Xiang talked about the affairs in the palace, Princess Mansion and Xun Mansion.

Dong Yihe's face darkened, "Princess Dongyang is confused."

Mrs. Dong said, "She is not only confused, but also a stick. She can't tell the difference between near and far. Fortunately, her mother is the queen, otherwise she would not know how she died."

Xunxiang talked about the family dinner again, and also talked about her guesses about the next generation of princes.

Dong Yihe thought for a while and said, "Don't look at the surface. Xiangxiang should pay attention to King Qi and keep a respectful distance. Although he has foreign blood, he may not give up that delusion... If you are not sure, don't take sides lightly. Take good care of Princess Dongyang."

Madam Dong reminded again, "Be careful with Concubine Li in the harem, she is not as gentle as she appears. The Queen is a kind person..."

Xunxiang absolutely believed in the intelligence and goodwill of these two people and nodded in agreement.

After so many days of observation, she knew that Queen Ye did not like Concubine Cai Shu, and her relationship with Concubine Li seemed to be good...

Thinking of Concubine Mi De and Xiao Hongyi, I felt that the Dong family might have learned something from the Mi family.

After breakfast and dinner, Xunxiang said goodbye and returned to the princess mansion.

Xun's consort went out to meet friends, while Xun Yibo was in the Imperial College and had dinner alone in Dongyang.

There is only one master sitting in such a large room, which is indeed very lonely.
