Fragrance Returned

After Ren Mansion agreed to Ding Mansion's marriage proposal, Xunxiang went to the palace to ask for the queen.

The next day, Queen Ye issued a wedding decree for Ding Lichun and Ren Zixuan.

Both Ding and Ren families were very happy.

Empress Ye reprimanded Concubine Cai for her incompetence in raising her daughter. She also asked her nanny to go to Princess Zhaoyang's house to reprimand Zhaoyang for violating the taboo of words. She was punished by being grounded for two months and forced to copy the "Girls' Precepts" twenty times.

Concubine Cai was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood and did not dare to say anything.

Because Ding Lichun was already old, the process between the two families moved quickly. Xunxiang went to Master Huiren to calculate the auspicious date and decided to get married on July 12th next year.

It was early October when this major event was completed.

The Ding Mansion was busy with Ding Lichun's betrothal gifts and yard repairs, and at the same time preparing for Ding Zhuang's sixtieth birthday.

This year, on the eleventh day of the winter lunar month, the man turns sixty, and Ding Mansion is planning a grand event. Many relatives from their hometown wanted to come to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, and Ding Zhuang and his son agreed.

On the morning of the sixth day of October, Xunxiang was drawing pictures in the study, and Ding Chi and Tang came down accompanied by Ding Zhuang.

Ding Chi was wearing a blue silk robe, dark and thin. But I walk normally and my legs are healed. The left eye and the left corner of the mouth are still a little slanted, but they are much better than before.

After seeing so many of his ugly looks before, I felt amazing.

Tang's is also much thinner and darker, unlike before, who was plump and beautiful.

Xunxiang said in surprise, "Second uncle's illness is cured? Congratulations."

Ding Chi laughed and said, "Second uncle, thank you Xiangxiang, for pointing out a clear path and curing the disease. Thank you also, Master Mingyuan. Tomorrow I will go to Puguang Temple to offer incense and donate more money for sesame oil."

Tang Shi also smiled and said, "Thank you Xiangxiang."

Xunxiang pulled Ding Zhuang to sit down and listened to Ding Chi's general explanation.

Ding Chi and Tang went to the disaster area in southern Hebei, not only bringing thousands of taels of food and medicine, but also a dozen servants and two doctors.

There were too many things and I didn't dare to stay in an inn. Instead, I took Ding Zhao's letter and stayed at the inn.

In addition to giving porridge not far from the inn every day, he also went out of his way to look for people who were about to starve to death due to illness, as well as children who were lost from their relatives. While rescuing them, help the children find their relatives. If we can't find any relatives, we will keep them temporarily.

In more than two months, they rescued thousands of victims and rescued no less than 200 victims from the dead. Even the prefect and county magistrate there summoned Ding Chi and said that he was good at charity.

When they returned to Beijing, Ding Chi and his wife brought back a dozen children aged three to six. They have no relatives and cannot work to support themselves. Bring him back and raise him, and later work as a slave in the family or work in a wine shop...

Ding Chi smiled and said, "This time I spent a total of more than two thousand taels of silver, and I was exhausted. I was finally cured. Before, I wanted to be the richest man and an imperial businessman every day, and I would do whatever it took to achieve my goal."

"After these few months, I realized that I should be a good person, have peace of mind, and sleep well. Alas, I feel uncomfortable when I think of my ignorance when I was young, causing my father to break three fingers, and Xiangxiang to be almost sold. I didn't good."

With that said, he stood up and bowed to Ding Zhuang.

Tang continued, "In the past few months, I have taken care of the children with my own hands, and I have realized how difficult it is to take care of children. My eldest brother and sister-in-law have to take care of three children, and they raised Li Lai so well without letting him suffer any injustice. Thank you father-in-law. With my big brother and sister-in-law.”

Ding Chi and his wife bought two kilograms of Yinan tea from Xinshan Maojian for Xunxiang. "Second uncle knew that Xiangxiang was not short of good things, so he bought these tea leaves."

Ding Zhuang was quite emotional. His second son lived to be in his thirties and finally understood.

This daughter-in-law is finally sensible.

Xunxiang laughed. This treatment method is good. It not only cures his disease, but also teaches him how to behave.

Ding Zhuang whispered to Xun Xiang, "Haha, Li Ren's wife is happy. They all hope she will have a son, but I hope she will have a daughter so that I can have a great-granddaughter as handsome as Xiang Xiang."

This is great news.

Xun Xiang said happily, "Second sister-in-law is going to be a mother?"

Ding Zhuang smiled and said, "Of course, this can still be false."

Tang told the truth, "Dad, Xiangxiang is not your biological granddaughter. How could Liren give birth to a daughter as handsome as Xiangxiang? What if he gave birth to a daughter as ugly as my father-in-law?"

"Also, my father-in-law has no daughter or granddaughter, so he cannot give birth to a girl. Don't even think about the great-granddaughter. Some fates can be trusted."

Still unable to speak.

Ding Zhuang was so angry that he wanted to curse.

Ding Chi quickly smiled and said, "Xiangxiang is like my mother. It is possible for Liren's daughter-in-law to give birth to a daughter like Xiangxiang. Dad, don't be angry. If Liren's daughter-in-law can't give birth to a daughter, let Lichun's daughter-in-law do it. If Lichun's daughter-in-law can't give birth to a daughter, let Lichun's daughter-in-law give birth to a daughter." Let Li Lai's wife give birth.

"I will give you a great-granddaughter who is as handsome as my mother and Xiangxiang, so that you can be happy."

Ding Zhuang laughed loudly. This was the most pleasant thing his second son had said since he was born.

Tang later realized that she had said the wrong thing and giggled a few times.

Xun Xiang is happy for Xue Tian, ​​Ren Zixuan, and Ding Qianqian. They have no pressure to give birth to a boy or a girl.

Unlike Tao Jing, regardless of her husband's family, they all hope that she will get a man at one stroke.

Xun Xiang left them to eat and drink in Ziyuan.

After Dongyang heard about it, he also rewarded him with several dishes.

Ding Zhuang was happy and drank a lot of wine.

Xunxiang personally gave Xue Tian a pound of official swallows, and the princess mansion also gave some tonics and four pieces of soft cloth suitable for babies to make clothes. She would go back to see her another day.

As soon as the three of them were sent away, a woman from the Weiguo Palace went to Jinqitang and brought a basket of red eggs.

The mother-in-law bent her knees to Princess Dongyang and smiled and said, "My wife gave birth to a brother this morning. He is safe and sound. The old lady asked the old slave to come and tell the good news to the princess and the princess. The day after tomorrow, please invite the princess and the princess to the mansion. Have a wedding banquet here.”

Dongyang has a normal relationship with Duke Wei, so this good news is mainly for Xun Xiang.

Dongyang smiled and said, "Congratulations to the emperor's aunt, congratulations to the emperor's aunt. Oh, she has been looking forward to her grandson for many years, and now she finally got her wish. Mrs. Tao is also lucky, she got a boy in one fell swoop." He then said to the servants, "Hurry up. Please come and tell her the good news."

Xunxiang was very happy when she heard about it. These days are Tao Jing's due date, and she has been thinking about it.

Xunxiang asked a few more questions in detail.

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "My brother weighs six pounds and three ounces. He is very beautiful and looks more like my wife. My wife started to have a seizure last night and she gave birth to the baby today."

"The old lady and the Duke of Guo were extremely happy. The old lady hugged her brother and couldn't bear to let go. The Duke of Guo laughed so hard that he burst into laughter..."

These people had never seen Qiu Wangzhi laugh before.

After the mother-in-law left, Dongyang sighed, "I also hope that Yibo will marry a daughter-in-law soon and have more children. They all say that sons are good, but I think daughters are better."

Xunxiang knew that she didn't really think that her daughter was better than her son. She knew that Prince Consort Xun felt most guilty for not taking good care of his daughter and not seeing how her daughter grew up.

If a granddaughter is born, in order to make up for the regret in his heart, Prince Consort Xun can stay in the house for a longer period of time and watch his granddaughter grow up.

Mi Honglan doesn't have any pressure to have children, and she is happy to have any parents-in-law.
