Fragrance Returned

Xunxiang opened the letter and read it.

Ding Lilai first talked about his study situation, then said that these gifts were given by Qianqian to help the staff, and asked his sister if she liked them. He also said that after Sister Qian heard about Sister Xiangxiang, she wanted to meet her every day. The next four pages are all about how Sister Qian looks like her younger sister...

For example, Li Qianqian also has a chin and a round face with a bit of "baby fat". She also likes to study and taste delicious food, likes beautiful dolls, speaks sweetly, likes to act like a baby with her father, brother and him, etc.

Of course I heard the term "baby fat" from Xun Xiang.

Xunxiang looked at Ding Lilai with admiration. I didn't mention Li Qianqian in my previous letter, but I wrote a close-up of her after crossing the road. My little brother has grown up and is wise. He knows what to say and what not to say.

Xun Xiang became happy. It seemed that Ding Lilai liked it very much.

As long as the little brother likes it, that's fine.

Xunxiang was also happy for him.

Ding Zhuang discussed with Ding Chi and his wife to find someone to marry them with their horoscopes some other time, and to settle the marriage earlier, and Ding Lilai would also have someone to take care of him in Hu County.

They are both young, and they will get married in a few years when Ding Lilai returns from his studies.

Both the old man and Ding Xiang liked it, and Ding Chi could only nod in agreement, "As long as dad agrees." He then asked, "Will my niece help me ask Abbot Sadin?"

Xunxiang glanced at Tang and said nothing.

Ding Zhuang knew that his granddaughter didn't want Tang to hear something like this.

He said, "The second daughter-in-law is going to help your sister-in-law in the kitchen."

Tang didn't move and said disdainfully, "With so many servants in the house, we still need my sister-in-law to cook? My sister-in-law likes to do those honorable jobs, I can't stand it."

Seeing Ding Zhuang bulging his eyes, Ding Chi hurriedly coaxed, "Lingling, this is the cleverness of my sister-in-law. Making soup with your own hands to honor your father-in-law and caring for the younger generation is your heart and wisdom."

Tang didn't want to go yet, but when she saw the old man's eyes almost bulging out, she had no choice but to curl her lips and get up and leave.

Xunxiang asked, "Second uncle, when your master taught you fortune telling, he didn't mention any precautions. For example, there are certain things you can't say and some people you can't read?"

Ding Chi thought for a while and said suspiciously, "I was only thirteen years old at that time. I didn't want to study or work, so I wandered around the county town every day. One day I saw a man who was injured and was about to die in the winter, so I gave him He bought two steamed buns to eat.

"After he was full, he took a banknote from his clothes and asked me to rent a house for him to recuperate. I rented a house for him and bought him medicine and food. He said I had a talent for fortune telling, so he asked me to teach him I read faces.

"About three months later, he said that there were enemies chasing him and he had to leave. He also said that it was best not to see me again. Seeing me again meant that he was in trouble... So far, I have not seen him again.

"He only said that I could eat and drink with ease, but he didn't say that I couldn't read faces to others. Oh, I remembered that a few days before he left, his legs became a little lame and his mouth became a little crooked. My previous condition was the same.

"Did...we said something we shouldn't have said?"

His eyes bulged.

Xunxiang counted the time. His master's problem was that he started to get sick after teaching Ding Chi for three months, which means that he had seen a special person's face before.

Ding Chi is thirty-three years old this year. When he was thirteen, it was the eleventh year of Qingguan. The emperor didn't need him to read his face. He should have shown his face to a certain prince and got backlash...

Of course, there are other reasons that I haven't thought of.

As for his master’s enemies, they might be the Su family, or someone from Concubine Li, or they might be people from other countries, and they should all be related to the royal family...

They may not necessarily want to hunt him down, but they may also want to put him under house arrest for their own use.

Suddenly, Ding Chi said again, "Oh, I remembered it again. Master also said that with my virtue, I would definitely not be able to see the emperor. As for the extremely prosperous person who is rare to see in a hundred years, he has never seen it, let alone me. Yeah…I didn’t care at the time.”

He also thought of some possibility, and his legs shook even more.

Xun Xiang said, "Master Huiren said that my second uncle said something that he shouldn't have said and suffered backlash. He can't cure your disease. As long as you keep your mouth shut, the condition will not get worse."

Ding Chi was extremely frustrated.

While other people's facial features are twisted together, his left eye and left corner of his mouth are more slanted to the left, making him so ugly that he can't look straight at him.

He said, "I have been fine for so many years. It must not be because of the Tang family and Xiangxiang. It must be because of the retribution of the '95 fate'." He then glanced at Xunxiang with a resentful look, "Xiangxiang, it's you Let me see it."

This is to blame Xun Xiang.

Xun Xiang was also embarrassed. The faces of the last few people were indeed shown to him by him.

Ding Zhuang suddenly bulged his eyes and cursed, "You are stupid and didn't understand the meaning of your master's words. Why did you blame Xiangxiang?"

Then he stretched out his left hand and said, "Look at my hand, it was your fault, and it caused Xiangxiang to almost be sold. We don't care about you, but God can't bear to see it, and that's why you have such a bad character." ."

The old man is unreasonable, and Ding Chi can't do anything either.

"Dad, I'm not complaining about Xiangxiang, I'm just talking. Xiangxiang, you know a lot of people, please help my second uncle and ask if there is anything you can do. Please."

Xun Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask again. Second uncle, remember, don't tell fortunes to anyone in the future, especially members of the royal family. Also, don't tell anyone about this ability."

"Look at your master, it's probably someone who knows he has this ability and wants to arrest him..."

Ding Chi said with a grimace, "I don't dare anymore, never again."

As an apology, Xunxiang gave a jade Ruyi and a small jade pendant that were rewarded by Emperor Dingchi.

Nowadays, Ding Huangshang is not short of money, but what is short of money are these ornaments and pendants that symbolize status. He took it with a smile and immediately hung the pendant around his waist.

Before dinner, Ding Zhao came back.

They are all family members, eating in the main courtyard.

Ding Zhao and Zhang were both surprised when they heard that Ding Li was getting engaged.

Ding Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, Li Lai is already fifteen, it's time to get engaged."

After dinner, Ding Zhuang took his granddaughter to Zhuxuan alone, and the two continued to talk about their farewell.

Xunxiang came out from Zhuxuan at that time.

Ding Zhao is waiting for her in Zixuan.

"Daughter, Princess Dongyang hasn't done anything to you, right?"

Ding Zhao vaguely heard that Dongyang was grounded again, and was afraid that Dongyang would be angry and offend Xunxiang.

Xun Xiang roughly explained the reason.

She put her little head on Ding Zhao's shoulder and said muffledly, "Dad, it would be great if I didn't recognize my father. I would be much happier."

Ding Zhao also felt so angry that his liver ached when he thought about causing trouble for Xun Xiang when Dongyang had nothing to do.

Especially when it comes to marriage, Xiangxiang made it clear that she didn't like it, but Dongyang still wanted to settle down. If the empress does not understand the rules, Xiangxiang will suffer a lot if she decides to have a bad marriage.

He scolded, "That stupid bitch, if she wasn't a princess, I would have slapped her twice. How disgusting! She can't control you now. Stay at home for two more days."

"Um."

"Let your mother spend more time with you."

"good."

Mrs. Zhang entered the house without disturbing their father and daughter's conversation, and went to the bedroom to make the bed.

The father and daughter talked about it until the end of Haishi before Ding Zhao left.
