Fragrance Returned

With Xun Xiang's comfort, Ding Lilai said a prayer before picking up his bowl and eating.

The girl came in and reported quietly, "Master Ding and Mr. Ding Er are here. The consort and the young master are talking to them in the outer courtyard."

Xunxiang nodded.

Ding Li came to finish the meal and took Xun Xiang's little hand to tell her sad story.

"I know that without my sister, I wouldn't be as good as I am now. My grandfather allowed me to survive, my uncle and aunt took care of me, but it was my sister who made me capable and sensible...

"I fawned over my sister. First I listened to my father's words, and then I really wanted to be good to my sister, because my sister has always been good to me... But now, why is my sister no longer my sister...

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ding Lilai cried and said that he remembered every bit of the relationship between the two, including teaching him to tie his pants.

Xunxiang even shed tears after hearing this. Just like before, she let him hold hands and repeat the words, looked at him seriously, and occasionally wiped his tears.

If he doesn't calm down, no matter how much he talks, it will be in vain and will never reach his ears.

After Ding Lilai finished expressing what he wanted to express, Xunxiang slowly reasoned with him.

First, I talked about how the bad guys had bad ideas, how they stole from me, and how they were picked up by Ding Zhao’s father...

"The bad guys' original intention was to kill me. Should they be brought to justice?"

"Damn, my sister is so pitiful, she almost died."

"Kill the bad guy. Now that the parents here know who their biological daughter is, do they have to go back to their own home?"

"..."

"Nourishment of kindness is equally important. Even if I come back and my surname is Xun, the Ding family will still be my home. You will still be my third brother, and my grandfather, father, mother, and brothers will still be my closest relatives.

"I just have an extra family and a few extra relatives who love me...isn't that right?"

"But, I'm just sad."

"I'm not used to it either, but life has to go on."

…

When the two of them were talking about the end of the year, Aunt Wang, Aunt Chai, and Aunt Wei cleared their throats at the door.

Xunxiang knew that Ding Lilai would not be willing to go home now, so he discussed, "Third brother, go to the guest room in the outer courtyard to rest, and come back to talk to your sister tomorrow."

Ding Lilai pouted and said, "No, I'll sleep in the living room here, and we can talk through the door."

"No, people from rich families are very particular about it. My brother here will live in the outer courtyard after he turns ten. If you are obedient, you can continue to talk to me tomorrow.

"If you don't obey, those guards will drive you out of the house. Besides, my father and your father are still waiting to see you in the outer courtyard. They are anxious."

Ding Li came to take a look at the unfamiliar house. The women standing at the door had no choice but to get up and said, "Okay, you can wait for me to come over for dinner tomorrow morning."

Ding Lilai held Xunxiang's hand and refused to let go, so Xunxiang had no choice but to send him to the door of Qijin Hall and watched the women disappear into the night accompanied by the slender figure.

Dongyang was very unhappy when he heard that Ding Li had just left.

He said with a stern face, "He is really heartless and clingy. He is only one year younger than Yibo, and he still looks like a child who has not grown up."

Jin Huan smiled and said, "Don't say that Mr. Ding is not transparent, but he is transparent. How many people can compare with the calmness and wisdom of the Fourth Young Master? There is also the princess, who is two years younger than Mr. Ding. , more like his sister."

Aunt Chai also smiled and said, "Oh, the old slave was listening to Third Master Ding crying outside the door, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. I’m afraid it will be difficult to find a wife.”

Yinhuan smiled again and said, "Your Highness the Princess is so lucky. Both the young master and the princess are on par with each other. No wonder others are envious of you."

Dongyang was very happy to be praised, "Xiangxiang is like my palace, and Yibo is like my consort."

At this time, a woman from the outer courtyard came in and reported, "The Prince Consort said that he wanted to have a long talk with Mr. Ding and would not return to Qijin Hall tonight."

Dongyang said angrily, "It's a good family, but it was disturbed by an outsider."

At midnight the next day, Ding Li came to the west courtyard of Qijin Hall to have breakfast on time.

My mood is still not high, but it is much better than yesterday. I am refreshing and wearing Xun Yibo's clothes.

"Master, uncle, and my father talked a lot to me yesterday. Grandpa has accepted this reality, what else can I say."

Tears welled up in his eyes again.

Xunxiang pulled him to the table and sat down, "Let's talk about it after eating."

Ding Lilai stayed in Xikuoyuan for half a day. At the end of the afternoon, Ding Zhao and Ding Chi came to the front yard to take him back to his home in Qili Hutong. Xunxiang sent him to the second door.

The next day he came to the princess mansion again to find Xunxiang. He came for breakfast in the morning and was taken home by Ding Zhao and Ding Chi after dinner, completely ignoring the hints from Aunt Chai, Aunt Wang, Jin Huan and others.

Dongyang Qi causes liver pain. Prince Consort Xun was afraid that she would drive people away, so he stayed with her in Qijin Hall all day.

Ding Lilai didn't know how to look at other people's faces, so he showed up shamelessly on the third day.

Today is a holiday, and Ding Liren ran to his home early in the morning to go with him.

He also selfishly didn't want to take Ding Liren with him, "My sister just wants to talk to me alone."

Ding Liren didn't know him the same way, "I'm going to see Yibo."

It was Ding Zhao who asked him to follow him. He must bring Ding Li back home at night.

Ding Li came and went to see Ding Xiang, Ding Liren and Xun Yibo were outside the courtyard.

After lunch, Prince Consort Xun told Ding Li that two foreign envoys had come to the Sifang Pavilion, from Father Gamawu's neighboring country. Xun Yibo and Ding Liren both wanted to see him and asked him if he would go.

The Sifang Pavilion is equivalent to the state guesthouse in the previous life, specializing in receiving foreign envoys.

Seeing that Ding Li was very interested, Xunxiang said, "You can still see me tomorrow, but it will not be easy to see them."

Ding Li came and went.

On the fourth day, Ding Li came and talked to Xun Xiang for a long time. In the afternoon, Xun Xiang's consort wanted to take him to the Imperial Library. There are various arithmetic books and books on twenty-four countries. Ding Lilai couldn't resist the temptation and followed.

The fifth day was the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, and Ding Li came again.

He ignored Aunt Chai, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wei who looked unhappy, and said to Xun Xiang, "Sister, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'll leave tomorrow."

Xun Xiang was extremely reluctant to let go, "I've only been home for a few days, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay longer? I, my Ding family, my father-in-law, and your parents all can't let you go."

Ding Lilai's little pout turned up even more, and his eyebrows became splayed.

"I am so sad, but my grandfather must be even more sad. I want to go back to my hometown and stay with him for half a month before returning to Hu County. I will come back after Father Umaga and I finish compiling "Elements of Geometry".

"Master said that when I come back, he will recommend me to teach in the Imperial Academy or to work as a translator in the Hanlin Academy. I want to tell grandpa the good news and make him happy. He has always been afraid that I have no future and will not find a wife in the future. "

A rare smile appeared on his face.

What a good boy.

However, it would take at least several years for him to complete the compilation of "Elements of Geometry" after he learned it.

Xunxiang was reluctant to let go, "I always knew that the third brother had a future."
