Fragrance Returned

Mrs. Zhang took Lilac's little clothes and little hat and touched them carefully. They were soft and smooth, and the seven small pearls on the hat were round and plump.

She said, "Although this bead is small, it is round and round. You can tell by its quality."

Ding Zhao said, "Don't sell Xiangxiang's things, and don't throw them away. After all, she brought them from that home. The wooden box was too conspicuous, so I chopped it up and used it as firewood."

"In the past few days in the capital, we must take good care of the child and prevent her crying from spreading outside. If the neighbors hear it, don't admit that we have a child at home. Just say that we also heard the crying, but we don't know who it is. Which one is it from?"

Mrs. Zhang agreed, "Well, the washed clothes and diapers are not left to dry in the yard, but in the house. No one can enter the house yet..."

Ding Xiang gave this kind and smart couple a thumbs up. She was also afraid that they would sell or throw away their clothes and bags, which would be of great use in the future.

The little gold bracelet that the princess had put on her wrist was gone. It was given to her by the queen's grandmother, and it must have been taken off and put on Sister Feng's body.

And the things she wears on her body, even if they are sewn with pearls, are just ordinary. The princess will not notice if there is more or less.

Lilac saw their blurred faces as they hugged her and kissed her. Even on a flat surface, you can see that they are all young, in their twenties.

The bride has thicker kissing lips, crooked eyes when she smiles, and speaks softly. She is a woman with a gentle temperament. The new father has a big face, small eyes, a round nose, and a small and upturned mouth. He looks a bit like Yue Moumou, who did cross talk in his previous life. He looks simple and honest, but he speaks and acts in a very orderly manner. He is a kind and smart man.

Although they looked ordinary, their eyes were full of love for Lilac, which made her feel at ease.

Mrs. Zhang used soft old clothes to cut diapers and change clothes for Dingxiang, and then asked Ding Zhao to go to the street tomorrow to bring back some soft muslin.

The couple talked about interesting things at home and discussed future arrangements. Ding Xiang also learned some things about their family.

Their hometown is Beiquan Village, Gu'an Town, Linshui County, Jiaodong Province. The family has a blacksmith shop in the town and fifteen acres of farmland in the countryside.

Ding Zhao's mother died young, but his father is still alive. The father and son were forging iron and leasing the land to others for farming. They gave birth to two sons, seven-year-old Ding Lichun and four-year-old Ding Liren.

Ding Zhao also has a younger brother who seems to have a bad relationship with Ding Zhao's father and lives in the county with his wife and son.

The year before last, Ding Zhao suddenly became unable to move his left arm, which to the blacksmith meant it was useless. They were very anxious and saw many doctors who were not sure.

When he went to the city to see a doctor, Ding Zhao happened to save an old lady who fell down. The old lady's son happened to be a doctor.

The doctor said that Ding Zhao suffered from blood stasis and qi stagnation. This disease may be easy to cure, but it may not be curable in his lifetime. Ding Zhao has not been cured after being treated for so long, which shows that his condition is serious. If financial conditions permit, go to Qianjin Pavilion in Beijing to see Dr. Fang. Dr. Fang is very good at treating this kind of disease. He and Dr. Fang are old acquaintances, and he can write a letter to introduce him.

Ding Zhao went home to discuss it with his father, who couldn't bear for him to become disabled at such a young age. Although the family is not very wealthy, they still have some savings.

In August of last year, Ding Zhao came to the capital with half of his family's savings and 80 taels of silver to seek medical treatment from Dr. Fang. Because Ding Zhao could not move one arm, Mrs. Zhang came to take care of his life. As for the old man and his two children, they had to pay their neighbors to help with cooking and laundry.

Dr. Fang said that with regular acupuncture and medicine, Ding Zhao had an 80% chance of curing the disease, which would take about one to two years. If it cannot be cured beyond this time, there will be nothing he can do.

Dr. Fang is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also a warm-hearted person.

Seeing that they were not rich, they came all the way to the capital to see a doctor. They were introduced by a childhood friend. It happened that a young medicine-maker had left the hospital, so Ding Zhao, who could move his right hand and had a lot of strength, helped him make medicine. It is convenient to see a doctor and make some money.

He heard that Zhang's stitches were fast and good, and asked his daughter-in-law to introduce him to an embroidery shop.

Ding Zhao and Zhang rented this small courtyard with only three old houses and could barely get by.

Dr. Fang was really a miracle doctor. It took one year for Ding Zhao to recover from his illness.

The couple was overjoyed. There were still twenty taels of silver left, so I used eight taels of silver to buy a heavy gift for old doctor Fang. The remaining money bought a boat ticket and some things for my hometown, and returned to my hometown the day after tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, I picked up a beautiful girl today.

Lilac understands. No wonder I wanted to adopt a child I found a suitable child. It turned out to be a well-off family. If a poor person who has nothing to eat already has a son, no matter how cute the child is, it is impossible to feed him in vain unless he has the intention of making her a child bride.

Ding Xiang was lucky and moved. They really wanted her to be their daughter, and they even agreed on the day when she would be born.

This couple was not only kind, but also able to withstand temptation, and Mrs. He was not tempted by such a high reward.

Good people have a peaceful life, good people have good rewards, good people have their own destiny, and roses given to others have lingering fragrance in their hands... You will be blessed.

Judging from what they said, water transportation was very developed in this era. The Beijing-Qian Grand Canal passes through Linshui County, so it is very convenient for them to come to the capital.

It takes one and a half hours by donkey cart from Beiquan Village to Linshui County Pier, and it takes about eight to twelve days to get to the capital by boat, depending on the weather and wind direction, excluding extreme weather. After arriving at the Jingjiao Pier, it takes more than three hours by donkey cart to reach the south gate of the capital.

In ancient times, places with canals and docks were equivalent to places with airports or train stations in previous lives. The economy was relatively developed and it was easy to do business.

The Beijing-Qian Grand Canal here should be the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the previous life, and Qianzhou is the Hangzhou in the previous life.

Ding Xiang also wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible. She has a special constitution and is afraid that the Xun family will find her and silence her.

Aunt Li's face appeared before her eyes again. Because I watched it for a longer time, that face was clearer than the faces of the princess and the little brother.

Ding Xiang vowed to remember those blood relatives and those who did bad things. She must not forget them and come back for revenge in the future.

To take revenge, you need capital, not only finances, but also connections. It is even more important to find a convincing reason and entry point. You cannot say that a one-month-old baby has heard their plan to do bad things.

However, if you want to be a useful person, you have to wait until you are six or seven years old. I don’t know how long it will take until I have enough finances and strong connections.

The road ahead is long.

Ding Xiang was still a little uncomfortable leaving that beautiful home, but the joy of escaping and surviving the disaster was greater than that discomfort. Coupled with the joys and sorrows and various situations in her previous life, she calmly and calmly accepted the new parents and the huge change in her destiny.

It's just that this kind of "lying flat" life is too difficult.

Suddenly, the courtyard door rang.

The couple became nervous.

Thank you for the sunny days, looking in the mirror and putting the basket, Melanie’s love for the clear spring, thank you for your gentle monthly tickets, and thank you for all your support.
