Fragrance Returned

The next day, Ding Xiang slept until she woke up naturally.

The yard was quiet.

Whenever Feifei comes, there are very few birds nearby, and not a single mouse is left.

Ding Xiang put on her clothes and led Feifei out of the east chamber.

When Yang Hu's family wanted to pour water for her to wash her face, Ding Lichun came out and said, "Aunt Yang goes to work, I'll come."

Ding Lichun washed Ding Xiang's face. He is tall and thick, but he is very careful in his work, for fear of hurting his sister.

Then he took out a hot boiled egg, a small bowl of white rice porridge, and a plate of pickled cucumbers from the pot and brought them to the table in the east room. A bowl of raw mutton was placed on the floor for Feifei to eat.

While eating, Ding Xiang listened to Ding Lichun talk about his inquiries in the capital.

Before he went to Beijing, he accidentally mentioned that his sister was interested in royal affairs, and Ding Zhao scolded him with a serious face.

"You are a little commoner, how can you inquire about royal affairs? Your sister is young, but you are not young, so you are not allowed to inquire about those things. If you dare to be disobedient, see how I deal with you."

Ding Lichun, a maniac who dotes on his sister, still couldn't bear his sister's disappointment, so he secretly inquired about it, but he didn't dare to let his father know.

"I heard that the emperor has seven princes. The second prince is the prince, named Gao Feng, born to Concubine Su. There are three princesses. The eldest princess is Princess Dongyang, the one I saw. The second princess is Princess Xiyang. The third princess is Princess Nanyang. I went around the Xiyang Princess Mansion. Oh, it’s so big, bigger than the entire Beiquan Village. The walls are light red and the door is dark red..."

Ding Xiang didn't want to hear anything about Princess Xiyang, so she interrupted him and said, "Where is Princess Dongyang? I heard that her daughter's name is also Xiangxiang."

It means that because her daughter's name is the same as mine, I am particularly interested in her.

Ding Lichun corrected her again, "It's not that her name is Xiangxiang, but her title is Xiangxiang. I haven't heard anything about Princess Dongyang, but her name is well-known. I've heard people talk about it, and I've also heard Uncle Zeng say it."

"What did you find out?" Ding Xiang's eyes sparkled.

Ding Lichun was very happy to see that his sister liked to listen.

"The prince-in-law was not only a famous handsome man in the Li Dynasty, the youngest number one scholar, but also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and was regarded as a great scholar at a young age.

"He has studied poetry, painting, martial arts, arithmetic, law, and astronomy. He has participated in the compilation and compilation of many relevant political and legal books for the imperial court, and has also written books himself. However, it is said that he behaves differently from ordinary people. , I like to deal with the hairy ghosts the most, and I also like the Spanish those people speak..."

Ding Xiang had heard that the long-haired ghosts were people who came by boat from the sea, coming from the other side of the ocean, rather than the barbarians who came along the Western Silk Road.

Spanish... The Spanish language of this era is definitely not the English commonly used in the previous life. It may be Latin or Italian.

Seeing his sister's astonished eyes, Ding Lichun smiled proudly and continued, "There is something that my sister can't even imagine. In order to learn Spanish from foreigners who were missionaries in Hu County, Prince Consort Xun lived in Hu County for three full years. , and brought a dozen servants to join the Catholic Church, and worked with missionaries to translate some books..."

Ding Xiang was even more surprised.

She occasionally analyzes her biological parents in this life.

Needless to say, Princess Dongyang has princess disease and is in poor health. She is either irresponsible or not very smart. Otherwise, she would not have allowed her stepmother-in-law to steal her daughter from her home.

As for Prince Consort Xun, the words that Ding Xiang thought of the most before were, champion, talented man, handsome man, soft-boiled man, depressed man with no aspirations...

The reason for depression and lack of ambition is that the number one scholar with a good background may not be willing to be a prince-in-law. Being a prince-son-in-law means that he cannot display his political ambitions.

But he didn't expect this prince-in-law to be so independent. Forget about being a great Confucian and participating in the compilation of political and legal books for the imperial court. Forget about staying in the capital to be with his wife in order to learn foreign languages. After being away for three years, he even joined the Catholic Church! ! !

This completely subverted Ding Xiang's understanding of the consort.

What books can he translate, such as "The Divine Comedy", "Romeo and Juliet", or "The Count of Monte Cristo"?

No matter what book, the thinking is advanced enough...

Previously, Ding Xiang didn't have much hope that Ding Lichun could find out much about his biological parents. It would be good if he could find out their names, how many people there are in the family, and where they live. After all, ordinary people cannot inquire about royal affairs casually, and it is impossible for many royal secrets to be revealed.

Who would have thought that Prince Consort Xun was such a famous figure that he could get so much information just by asking about it, and it was much more interesting than imagined.

"Sister..." Ding Lichun waved his big hand in front of her eyes, "Hey, you didn't expect that the prince-in-law not only only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, but also is a person who does practical things. Uncle Zeng especially admired the prince-in-law and said that he had A great talent, if he is not recruited as a prince-in-law, he may become the chief assistant in the future. The emperor also appreciates him, he is the only prince-in-law in this dynasty who has a real official position."

Ding Xiang asked, "Brother, what book did Prince Consort Xun translate? Why don't you buy a copy and show it to me?"

Ding Lichun said disdainfully, "What's the value of the book of the Shaggy Ghost? Those people are not yet civilized. Their hair is an inch long. I heard that they want to eat human flesh and drink human blood. My sister really wants to read Xun Prince Consort's book. I will find a way to buy a copy. The books he wrote are for you to read, but the ones he compiled will be forgotten."

Thinking of his father's instructions, he waved his hand and said, "No, you are a little girl, why are you asking about men's affairs? You are still a royal man. If my father and I know that I am helping you, they will beat me to death."

Ding Xiang quickly slid off the chair, hugged Ding Lichun's waist and said coquettishly, "I want to read it. I will read all the compilations he has written. I will give my brother a fan pendant, a sweat towel, a jade pendant, and a belt for his offspring." Beautiful colorful bracelets..."

After saying that, he raised his head and pouted, making a cute expression.

Ding Lichun couldn't stand his sister's coquettishness and said with a smile, "Okay, go to the county town to buy it for your sister, but don't let me and dad know."

Ding Xiang gave him an "I know" look, hoping to go to the county seat as soon as possible.

After dinner, Ding Xiang and Ding Lichun took Feifei to play on the hillside.

She wants to train Feifei.

Let the little thing know that if you go into the mountains to find food, you can not only return to its own home, but also this home.

Ding Lichun was afraid that Feifei would just take Dingxiang away, so he tied the other end of Feifei's rope around his wrist, let it stand on his shoulder, and then walked out with Dingxiang on his back.

Hei Wa followed.

Ding Lilai was not fully recovered from his injuries, so he had to go such a long way without taking him with him.

On the way, I met Ding Zhen and his younger brother coming to the second room to have sex. I heard that Feifei was going to the mountains to train, so he happily went along.

The villagers greeted Ding Lichun and Ding Xiang.

Seeing the tall and strong Ding Lichun, those who wanted to fight Feifei didn't dare to fight.

The second room of the Ding family has talented people. Seeing that Ding Zhuang was disabled and old, and only Ding Zhao could fight, Ding Lichun grew up again. The boy who has just turned thirteen is stronger than many adults and is not easy to mess with at first glance.
