Xianggui

Ding Li didn't go to school for three days, except to eat, sleep and go to the latrine, holding Ding Xiang's little hand and complaining about his pain every day.

He couldn't bear his uncle, aunt and elder brother, and even more so, his younger sister.

Ding Xiang listened quietly, helping him analyze in soft words, ensuring that there was no change before and after the separation, and then telling him the elders' care and love for him.

It was also agreed that when a new house was built in the future, Ding Lilai would move to the new home with them, as close as Ding Liren was to his sister, he would be as close to her...

After working for three days, Mrs. Zheng let go of her mental burden, accepted the reality, and went to school with Ding Liren.

Ding Liren was impatient with Ding Lilai's obstinacy before, and loved to compete with him for his younger sister.But now he is very patient. After school, he saw his sister waiting for them at the door, so Ding Li came to hold her hand first.

After finishing this major event, Ding Zhao bought the land to the east of the yard, and started to build a house in the spring.

The front and back of the new courtyard are flush with the front and back of the old courtyard, and a house similar to the old courtyard will be built.It doesn't matter if you want to build it bigger, there are houses in the front, back, left, and right.

Ding Xiang didn't think how big the yard would be, and living here was temporary.I will move to the city or even the capital in the future.

Ding Li came to buy the [-] mu of land every year, and almost no land was sold before.

When Ding Zhuang was completely free, he grinded those honey-fat beads according to his granddaughter's request.

He thought in his mind that when the beads were finished, he would polish those safety buckles, and as his woodworking skills improved, he would carve a small gourd for Xiangxiang.

He has already seen the grain of the piece of fragrant wood, and knows which direction to carve to look good.

Sitting on the warm kang, with the little granddaughter acting coquettishly, no longer working hard, this day is the happiest and most comfortable after An An's death.

Although it is inconvenient to do carpentry with two fingers, it is much better than shaking your fingers when blacksmithing.

At noon on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, a waiter from Jiusi Embroidery Workshop came to Ding Xiang's house and said that he had urgent business with shopkeeper Gong.

Xiao Er is called Wang Shu, and he was Gong's confidant when he was the shopkeeper.

He told Mrs. Gong, "The embroidery shop is about to close, and the boss asked to sell the inventory at a low price, and sell the shop after the next year."

Ding Xiang rewarded him with five qian, and Ding Zhuang left him to eat lunch and drink.

The next day Mrs. Zhang went to Jiusi Embroidery Workshop.

Mrs. Gong told her that Qian silk, Song brocade, Shu brocade and other good materials, Su embroidery from Cuiling Pavilion, Hunan embroidery from Xiangyunfang, Shu embroidery from Xishanghe, and silk threads from Wucheng, as long as the price is right, look at Wang Shu's eyes. , buy everything you can buy.

This is brand effect.

Ding Xiang secretly thought that the buttons from Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop will be added in the future.

Mrs. Zhang bought more than 1000 taels of goods, loaded them into three carts and pulled them back.

Mrs. Gong went to the county again with Mrs. Zhang, and had private contact with the same accountant candidate and several embroiderers.

Those few people knew that Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop would not be able to grow, and expressed their willingness to follow them.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ding Liren and Ding Li came to have a long vacation.

Ding Zhuang finished grinding two brown beads and two red beads.

He handed it to Ding Xiang, "Is the granddaughter satisfied?"

The four small beads were held in the palm of Bai Nen's palm. They were shiny in color, oval in shape, a little thinner than her little finger, and exuded a faint fragrance.It is wood, but it has the luster of honey wax.

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "Looks good, grandpa is not only good at blacksmithing, but also carpentry."

She ran to Mrs. Zhang and asked Mrs. Zhang to take out the box containing the beads and pick out three gold beads, one large, two small, and "bamboo" engraved on the big gold beads.

She asked Mrs. Zhang to weave a colored bracelet with the three gold beads and two brown honey-resin beads, woven with black thread, and it was given to the county magistrate.

They couldn't afford to give away the entire string of honey butter incense sticks. This kind of colorful bracelet with honey cream beads is cheap, high-quality and chic.

As for the origin of the Honey Cream Fragrant Pearl, it is only said that Ding Zhuang bought it from Jiangnan, which is cheaper than the big pearl.

He found three more gold beads, one big, two small, a little smaller than the ones just now, and the big gold beads were engraved with "Fu".

Then weave a colorful bracelet with these three gold beads and the other two red honey-balm beads.Weave it with red thread, this is for Mrs. Qian.

The magistrate must be courteous, and the relationship between the Qian family must be maintained.

The Shen family would definitely not be happy if they wanted to buy the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop and open the Nine Deer Embroidery Workshop, and let Mrs. Gong continue to be the shopkeeper.With black and white, the Shen family dared not touch them.

The reason why it was edited for Aunt Qian and not for Qian Erdangjia is because Qian Erdangjia doesn't like others to pay attention to his hands.

The other four honey butter fragrance beads will also be made into two colorful bracelets, one for General Sun Shen and the other for those who need it later.

22 On this day, the Ding family went to the county town to send New Year gifts.

The three brothers Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun went to see off at the county grandfather's house.In addition to a string of honey butter fragrant beads colorful bracelets in a brocade box, an incense burner, and two ornaments bought by Jiangnan.

Ding Zhuang took Lilac to Qian's house to send it off.In addition to the colorful bracelets with honey fat fragrant beads, there is also a set of Qian Erdang's clothes and a basket of bacon.

The ox cart first went to Qian's house, Ding Zhuang, Ding Xiang, and Ling'er got off the cart, and then took down the things. Ding Zhao and the others went to the county grandpa's house.

Not only Qian Dahu and his wife, Qian Fei are at home, but there are five more young men and women.

The eldest son of the Qian family, Qian Lei and his wife, and his daughter, Qian Yuniang, both returned. Their respective sons and daughters are too young to be taken care of by their mother-in-law and mother-in-law who live in Jiaozhou.

There is also a son named Zhu.

Before Lilac could greet them, Aunt Qian immediately hugged her up, kissed her and said with a smile, "The little man has finally come to my house again, I'm panicking."

Ding Zhuang saw these men in Jiaozhou, and greeted them one by one, "Little General Zou, General Qian, and General Zhu."

Qian Lei is very similar to Qian Dahu, they are father and son at first glance.

Zou Qing is Qian Dahu's son-in-law and Qian Yuniang's husband.He looks strong and brave, and at first glance he looks like a mighty soldier.

General Zhu is nearly twenty years old, has a wheat complexion, is tall and thin, and looks handsome.

Ding Xiang always felt that he looked very serious, but he had a different temperament, which was different from the other two soldiers and Qian Dahu, and even more different from his grandfather.

A young daughter-in-law who looked like Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "Mother, I never saw you caring about me so much when I was young."

It's Qian Yuniang.

Aunt Qian joked, "Did Xiangxiang look good when you were young?"

The crowd laughed.

Qian Yuniang pouted and stomped her feet, then tugged at Aunt Qian's sleeve, acting like a spoiled child.

The Qian family came from military generals, so they didn't pay much attention, so they talked and laughed together in the hall.

Aunt Qian was overjoyed when she saw the colorful bracelet from Ding's family.He smiled and said, "Oh, I'm also wearing honey cream beads, which are more unique and beautiful than those big bead strings."

Saying that, he kissed Ding Xiang twice more.

Qian Yuniang stretched out her hand and said, "Mother has enough hugs, give me a hug, I'm also very rare."

Aunt Qian didn't want to let go, so Qian Yuniang hugged Ding Xiang to her, touched her face with her face, took a jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into her hand.

Ling'er came over to take it.

Qian Yuniang sniffed and asked, "Has Xiangxiang applied the medicine?"

Ding Zhuang told Ding Xiang that he lost his soul when he was a child, and the Taoist asked him to wear pills.
