Xianggui

Chapter 122 Tao Juren

Xia Wenguan blushed.He had already heard from his grandfather and father that he would not talk about the marriage, but he did not give up and thought about waiting until Ding Xiang was 15 years old.

After waiting for so many years, it is better to regulate Ding Xiang's words and deeds.Ding Xiang is too beautiful to let her have a bad reputation and affect her and her grandfather's reputation.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiang contradicted herself like this, and even compared herself to a fast catcher.I am the grandson of Tongsheng, and I will be a scholar in the future.

Xia Wenguan pointed to Ding Xiang and said, "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, only women and villains are hard to raise in the world."

Ding Xiang said, "Your grandma and your mother are also women, take this home and tell them."

Seeing three figures, one tall and two short, appear at the entrance of the village, Ding Xiang greeted them with a show of face.

"Daddy, brother..."

Ding Zhao smiled and hugged Ding Xiang.

Lilac's giggles were especially loud.

Seeing that figure leave the gate of his house, Ding Zhao said, "When you see that family in the future, Xiangxiang stay away and don't talk to them."

Ding Liren said angrily, "Xia Wenguan is mentally handicapped, see if I don't beat him up tomorrow."

Ding Li came and said, "Well, let's beat them together."

Xia Wenguan not only said those things to Ding Xiang, but also told Ding Liren to let him take care of his sister, and Ding Liren was so angry that he fought with him several times.

Xia Wenguan couldn't beat Ding Liren at all, and Ding Li came to help.I beat him up and cried every time, but it didn't take long for him to do it again.

He never told his husband when he was beaten, nor did he seem to tell his family. The Xia family never came to see his husband or Ding Zhao to complain.

Because of this, Ding Liren felt that Xia Wenguan was still a man, otherwise he would beat him even harder.

Ding Zhao did not stop his son from beating Xia Wenguan.He didn't want to offend Yuanwai Xia, but he wasn't afraid of him.Everyone bullied him, so it would be strange if he didn't beat him up.

This is because the father didn't know, otherwise he would definitely beat Xia Zhong.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the weather is freezing cold, and Ding Xiang's family is eagerly looking forward to the return of Ding Zhuang and Ding Lichun.

On the day of the third day of junior high school, there was heavy snow in the sky.

Zhang Xiaobao came back from running a business in northern Hebei, gave Ding Xiang's family a few packages of local specialties, and stayed for a day.

He laughed and said, "It's getting cold, so stay at home and rest, and go out in the spring of next year."

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "In half a year, little uncle earned a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Xiaobao laughed and said, "It's okay. Although it was hard work, I earned a net of twenty taels of silver. Before that, our whole family couldn't earn this amount after three years of hard work."

Thinking of the rare earth mine, Ding Xiang said, "I remember across the Baishui River, north of your village, there is a bare hill. It's strange, why doesn't there grow grass on the hill?"

She also asked Mrs. Zhang this question, but Mrs. Zhang didn't know, and said with a smile, "Stones don't grow grass, so what do the girls want to do so much?"

Zhang Xiaobao always thought that Ding Xiang was smart and interested in everything.

He explained, "The soil on that mountain is rare crystal soil. That kind of soil is barren and nothing grows...well, it can't be said to be barren. During the famine years, the villagers really had nothing to eat, so they took the rare crystal soil. Carry it to the kiln outside the mountain to exchange for money. You have to cross the river, go over the mountains, and carry it out basket by basket, and you can't change much..."

Ding Xiang knew that the hill was a public lot, and anyone could dig the soil on it.

I'll have to find a way to buy it later.

In the morning of the next day, Zhang Xiaobao went home, and Mrs. Zhang brought two pieces of soy sauce and two packs of tonics to her natal family.Mr. Zhang's health became worse and worse. Mrs. Zhang originally wanted to wait until Zhang Jinshi returned home to send the medicine back, but Zhang Xiaobao just came.

Sending Zhang Xiaobao away, Ding Xiang sat on the warm kang in the north room, climbed on the kang table to design clothes, thinking about what clothes would look good with buttons.

Feifei came back last night, and it stood behind Lilac, either pecking the little master's butt or her back.

Ding Xiang waved her small hand behind her from time to time, "Don't make trouble, my sister is doing business."

Ling'er sat at the side embroidering, being amused by the actions of the master and Feifei from time to time.

Suddenly the courtyard door rang, followed by Heiwa's barking.

Ding Xiang was overjoyed and ran out quickly.

Grandpa and elder brother should be back in a few days.

Ling'er opened the door, and it was Ding Zhen who came with the silk thread.

She was wearing a red printed muslin skirt with a circle of small flowers embroidered on the neckline and sleeves, making the little girl look pretty and cute.

If she weaves some simple nets well, Mrs. Zhang will pay for them.

Being able to earn money through handicrafts at a young age gave her a sense of accomplishment, and made the girls in Beiquan Village envious.

Skillful, beautiful and hardworking, with a wealthy family, Ding Zhen's little Lolita is now considered a small celebrity in a radius of more than ten miles.

Two matchmakers had already come to her door to propose marriage to her, but Ding Shan refused because she was too young.

However, there was no news about Yuan Xia asking people to talk about their marriage, so they must have sealed Zhou's mouth.

Except Xia Yuan's family, no one came to propose marriage to Ding Xiang.It's not that Ding Xiang is not good enough, but that she is too good, strong and powerful, and people who feel that they are not good enough dare not think so.

Ding Zhen wentssiping as soon as she sat down, "Just now I saw Xia Yuanwai and Xia Li were walking around the village with two people, saying they were going to buy land and build a house in the village."

Ding Xiang became interested, "Oh, who is it?"

"I don't know. They are wearing shiny silk clothes, which are better than the clothes Xia Yuanwai wears. Oh, Xia Yuanwai's face is dying of laughter. I thought he couldn't laugh before, but he can laugh."

It's not easy to be so flattering to Xia Yuanwai.

At noon, Yang Hu and his wife came back from the town, and they bought half a piece of pork back.

The family is enjoying a better life now, and they have made a lot of sauced meat and cured meat, which are very spectacular to hang under the eaves.Ding Zhao asked to make more, and gave some to Qian Erdang's family as a gift during the Chinese New Year.

It is not popular to eat smoked bacon here, but like to eat sauced meat or bacon.

Ding Xiang went out and asked, "Uncle Yang, I heard that foreigners came to the village to buy land and build houses?"

Yang Hu smiled and said, "Well, I listened to it on the way back. I heard that the owner's surname is Tao, and he is no longer an official. He wanted Ye Luo to return to his roots, so he bought five acres of wasteland to build a house in the south of the village."

Ding Xiang's eyes widened.She had heard from Ding Zhao that the most educated person in Beiquan Village in the past hundred years was Xia Yuanwai, who had been a child in his early years.There is only one scholar in the whole Gu'an Town, and that is Mr. Li.

Who will this rooted Tao Juren be?
Yang Hu laughed again, "That happened more than [-] years ago. Tao Ju's family used to live in a neighboring town. When he was young, he and his widowed mother were bullied by the tribe and couldn't survive. They fled to our village and rented a few rooms. Next. Oh, it is the house where Ding Youshou lives now.

"Relying on his widowed mother to sell sesame seed cakes in the town, Tao Juren studied hard. He became a scholar in the [-]th high school and a juren in the [-]th high school. The villagers called him Tao Juren. Later, he moved to the county seat. After being a Jinshi, he became an official. Where did you go? After more than [-] years, I will move back again."

"The Tao family's household registration is in a neighboring town. They have only lived in Beiquan Village for a few years, and they don't like to make friends with others, so the villagers gradually don't mention them. The two people who came today are servants. They said that they would buy the land first, and next year The house will be built in the spring, and Tao Juren will move back to live after the building is completed."

　It's the end of the month, if you still have a monthly pass, please vote for Qingquan.
