Fragrance Returned

On the morning of the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xunxiang took Feifei, Heiwa, the queen's rewards and her own gifts, and Zhao Jialing took Cheng Yi from the princess's house to Ding's house.

The Ding Mansion was very lively.

Not only brother Ding Lichun was at home on leave, but all relatives of the Ding family in the capital, as well as Dong Ping, Wang Lei, Xiao Qiu Yuhan, Mrs. Shen Er, and Zou Qing's family came.

Xunxiang joked with everyone, left Feifei to play with Qiu Yuhan and Zou Qing's children, and went to Zhuxuan to talk to Ding Zhuang alone.

The old man no longer pretended to be crazy, but he was just in a low mood. No matter how coquettish and adorable her granddaughter is, her smile is always bitter.

After playing until noon, Xunxiang said goodbye and returned home.

This is the first time in Xunxiang's life that she has to be away from her grandfather for so long. She couldn't bear it, but still happily waved goodbye.

Ding Zhuang sent her outside the gate.

The carriage walked some distance, Xunxiang opened the curtain and looked back, while Ding Zhuang stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at it.

Under the winter sun, that tall figure looked lonely and lonely.

Xunxiang remembered that when she was in Beiquan Village, she stood at the door of her house and looked at the figure in the distance...

She stretched out her little hand and waved to the figure.

Back at the princess mansion, Xunxiang sat on the couch in a daze.

Without Feifei, the birds have all flown back, chirping and making a lot of noise.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, several people from the Gu family executed.

Afraid that Xun Feng would be too sad, Princess Dongyang and Xun Yibo returned to Xun Feng's mansion to accompany her.

Prince Consort Xun, who had a clear distinction between love and hatred, felt that the three Gu family members were extremely guilty and deserved their death. Their descendants should not be too sad, so he went to the Hanlin Academy.

Xunxiang went to Sipin Study Room.

It was less than three-quarters of an hour's walk from the princess's residence. Xunxiang wanted to walk there, but Grandma Wang disagreed.

"You are the princess. It is not etiquette to walk from the palace to the street."

Xunxiang had no choice but to take a carriage to Dongshun Street, then get off and walk.

She brought Yuhuan and four other girls and women, plus ten sturdy men walking sideways.

Along the way, pedestrians avoided him, and Xunxiang felt like a bully in a movie or TV show from his previous life.

There were not many people on the street, and they were all talking about the execution outside the Meridian Gate. The person who sentenced to death was very few, and she was still a woman. Many people went to watch the fun.

Xun Xiang was not sympathetic at all when Gu was sentenced to death, but the thought of that kind of death still made her sick to death.

This kind of punishment is inhumane, but it can also deter some people who want to do bad things.

The first floor of Sipin Study has been renovated, and the second floor and exterior are being renovated.

Tang Jun came out, saluted and said with a smile, "The renovations were not completed before the New Year. I will wait for another ten or two months to decorate after the Chinese New Year. It will be no problem to open in February."

The tea master, Master Huang, has already produced a jar of matcha powder from the Da Li Dynasty. The color is green and dark, and the appearance is not very good. But the aroma is rich, and is about 60% or 70% similar to Matcha in its previous life.

He smiled and said, "When the tea powder is 'covered' and 'steamed' in the spring, the color and taste of the tea powder may be better, but now we can only do this."

In order to make high-quality matcha, Xunxiang asked Tang Jun to buy a tea garden in Yibei. To match the matcha, a batch of colorful porcelain tea bowls with white ground and red flowers were specially ordered.

Xunxiang made a bowl and was very satisfied, "Master Huang did a good job."

He was rewarded fifty taels of silver in new product development fees.

After turning off the color, I will reward you again.

Now that the study is close to the princess's mansion, Tang Jun will go directly to the mansion to ask for instructions when something happens.

After the visit, I bought some small things along the way, and then got on the carriage back home at the corner of the street.

At noon, Dongyang and Xun Yibo returned to Qijin Hall.

Dongyang was tired and went to rest on the couch. Xun Yibo came to Xikuoyuan.

It was rare for the little brother to come to visit, so Xunxiang entertained him with snowball balls.

I didn’t get matcha, this will have to wait until a special occasion to make a stunning appearance.

Xun Yibo especially liked to eat this kind of snack, and half of Qi Jintang's snowballs went into his mouth.

Xun Xiang saw that his expression was not good and asked, "Xun Feng is crying so much?"

Xun Yibo shook his head and said, "She is not sad, and she said that it has nothing to do with her. I think it is not good for her, because they are blood relatives after all. But my mother was happy and said that nurturing kindness is greater than giving birth to kindness. This shows that Xun Feng remembers the affection of his adoptive mother. I have no feelings for my mother...

Xun Yibo realized later that he had included his sister in these words. He was afraid that her sister would be upset, so he quickly explained:

"Xunfeng is different from my sister. The Ding family not only raised my sister, but also saved her. My sister should remember her kindness and the love of the Ding family.

"My parents and I feel sorry for my sister... Really, I feel sad when I think that my sister was almost killed by them... Sister, don't be angry, my brother said the wrong thing."

He was speaking incoherently, his face was red with anxiety, and small beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

Xun Xiang laughed out loud, "I know my parents and brother care about me, so I won't worry too much. Xun Feng thinks like that because she is nostalgic for her previous wealth and is unwilling to face reality..."

It’s also not taught well.

Xun Yibo also said that the old man ordered his servants to collect the corpse. Afraid of frightening Xun Yiming and Xun Yizhi, he asked Xun Yiqing to take them directly to the outskirts of the graveyard to wait. The three corpses were taken there and buried.

Xun Qiansong and Guo still had thin coffins, but Gu didn't even have a thin coffin. It was wrapped in a torn mat and no monument was erected.

After January 7th, the three brothers and sisters will leave Beijing immediately and spend the New Year on the road.

Bring more servants with you and stay overnight at the inn with Xunfu's post. There won't be any danger.

Dongyang disagreed, saying that Xunfeng was still ill and wanted them to leave Beijing in the spring when the weather gets warmer. The old man disagreed, and Dongyang was very unhappy, spoke unpleasantly, and even shed tears.

"I think our ancestors did the right thing. It's a good thing for Xunfeng that she doesn't have our mother to rely on and think about. Whether she admits it or not, she is no longer the apple of Princess Dongyang's eye, and she can't be too casual in doing things.

"It's a good thing that our mother doesn't have her to ignore her. She won't cause any quarrel with my sister and the Xun family."

The word "our mother" is emphasized quite strongly.

Xunxiang gave her little brother a thumbs up. The young boy is only fourteen years old, and is much more sober than Dongyang, who is in his thirties.

The next day Xunxiang went to Tao Mansion for class, which was also the last class of the year.

Xunxiang missed the old couple after not going to Tao Mansion for several months.

Xun Qiandai also wanted to see his master, so the father and daughter went together.

In the carriage, Xun Qiandai smiled and said, "The emperor and the elders all said that it is a good idea for a father and a daughter to worship the same master... Haha, my father has called his daughter a junior sister for so long."

Xun Xiang also laughed when she thought about how she tried to find out about "Xun's Consort" in Beiquan Village.

The days go by so fast...

She told Tao Weng how angry he was with Xun's consort, which made Xun's consort laugh.

Xun Xiang went to the outer study to see Tao Weng, while Xun Xiang went to the inner courtyard to see the old lady.

Several female relatives from the Tao Mansion were there.

Mrs. Tao narrowed her eyes with a smile and pulled Xunxiang to praise her.

They had never dared to think that Tao Jing could be a companion, and the queen's direct granddaughter's companion.

Xunfeng's companion at the time was Wang Chuchu, the granddaughter of Wang Shangshu.

Mrs. Tao also talked about the situation of several clans, and the daughters of those clans were studying in Jingfangzhai...
