Xianggui

The booming business of Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion envied all the shops nearby, angered Shen's family even more, and made those government servants and local ruffians who wanted to collect protection money move their minds.

But seeing that the owner of Jiulu was very familiar with the family and master of the county magistrate, and even more familiar with the second head of the Longxing Escort Bureau, he didn't dare to provoke them.

Lilac is very fulfilling.The Zhixiu Pavilion is on the right track, and there is a capable shopkeeper Gong, so she doesn't have to worry about it in the future.

In March of Yangchun, the mountain flowers are in full bloom, and the warm spring breeze is intoxicating.

Spring is the most beautiful season in the mountains, and it is also the busiest season for farmers.

The farmers nearby are even busier.Not only busy with farm work, but also busy building houses for the Tao family and the Ding family.Busy and fun, get money.

In particular, the Tao family entered the house three times, carved fences and painted buildings, planted flowers and plants, diverted streams, built rockeries, and built furniture. Dozens of people were busy inside.

The Ding family is building a house next door, which is very noisy.There are five women who come to this yard every day to do needlework, and there are people coming and going all the time.

Ding Xiang, who likes to be quiet, makes an appointment with Xia Sanfen and leads Ling'er and Hei Wa to Sanfang to find Ding Zhen.Instead of taking something for sewing, she would take a book.

Ding Zhen was chatting with Xia Sanfen while she was reading a book.

Now, she has started to set up a woman again.Of course, she didn't want to be a talented woman, but to pave the way for something.

On the tenth day of March, Ding Sifu's legs recovered.Still lame, but much better than before.

He took two sets of clothes to live in Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop in the county seat.

Before he left, Ding Xiang told him about Shopkeeper Gong's ability, and also hinted that Shopkeeper Gong had no son and did not want to remarry in this life.

Shopkeeper Gong and Ding Sifu are both good people, and they don't have much to rely on.

Ding Xiang hopes that Ding Sifu will learn from shopkeeper Gong the real skills and how to deal with people, and also hopes that Ding Sifu will be grateful and treat shopkeeper Gong kindly in the future.

Ding Sifu formally kowtowed to his teacher, expressing that he will study hard, be a teacher for one day and be a father for the rest of his life, and he will honor his master in the future and repay those who have helped him.

Hearing Ding Sifu's statement, shopkeeper Gong was moved.

She has long seen that the little master is not something in the pool, and the small Linshui County cannot accommodate her.The daughter follows the little master, not knowing where she will go, for fear that she will be lonely when she gets old.

If Sifu knows how to be grateful, he doesn’t need him to provide for the elderly, and he will be satisfied if he visits himself from time to time...

At the beginning of the day, Ding Xiang took another collection of poems from this era, and took Heizi and Feifei to Sanfang to play.

Stopping at the door of Xia Er's house, Hei Wa barked a few times, and Xia Sanfen came out cheerfully holding the embroidery thread.

Only Mrs. Xie and Ding Zhen are at home in the third room.Mrs. Zhao went shopping in the town, and Ding Daniu went to play with the village children.

Ding Zhen smiled and said, "Sister Xiang, can you teach me to read? My grandfather asked me to learn from Sister Xiang, not to mention being talented like you, but to know simple characters and write my own name."

Ding Shan felt that if the second room got up, their third room would follow suit.Ding Zhen's future husband-in-law will be better, and illiteracy will restrict her from finding a good husband-in-law.

Ding Qin went to school for half a year when he was a child, and he knew some characters.But his health was not good, so he didn't dare to tire him at night.

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "Okay. I will write a few words to teach you first, and I will give you a copy of "Hundred Surnames" tomorrow."

Under the eaves, Xia Sanfen earnestly tied the net, Ling'er embroidered the handkerchief for Ding Xiang, and Ding Zhen read the words on the paper to Ding Xiang earnestly.

"Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li..."

The soft and waxy child's voice floated out of the small courtyard, making passersby have a different mood.

Suddenly, a familiar loud voice sounded outside the courtyard, "Sister, are you here?"

It belongs to Ding Lichun.

Ding Xiang froze for a moment, feeling like a dream.

Ding Zhen called out, "Brother Lichun."

Ding Xiang jumped up and ran to open the courtyard door.

"Big brother."

Ding Zhen followed closely behind, "Why is Brother Lichun back?"

Opening the courtyard door, he saw Ding Lichun in military uniform standing at the door leading his horse.

Ding Xiang screamed excitedly and jumped on Ding Lichun's body.

"Brother, you are so majestic and handsome."

Ding Lichun laughed and hugged his younger sister.

Only then did Ding Xiang realize that there were six people riding on horseback behind him.

Among them were Qian Lei and Young Master Zhu in military uniforms, and Sun Yuhao, the son of General Sun Shen who had not seen him for a long time in plain clothes.

The other three soldiers did not know each other.

One was in his 40s, with a short beard, black and strong.Different from the black-faced Qian Lei, this person can see that there are too many sea breezes and sea foam, his skin is dark and dry, and his wrinkles are like knives.

One is about forty, short and fat with white face.

Another one was wearing a soldier uniform like Ding Lichun.

Ding Xiang didn't know the uniforms of military officers, and she could tell that the military uniforms of these two men were more complicated and beautiful than those of Qian Lei and Mr. Zhu, and they should be several ranks higher.

Qian Lei grinned at Ding Xiang and greeted, "Xiang Xiang, we meet again."

Ding Lichun said with a smile, "These are my Shangfeng, who are on business in Linshui County. I heard that my family lives at the foot of Beifu Mountain, so come here to hunt together."

He put Lilac down, pointed at the short and fat officer and the black-faced man, and said, "This is General Guo, the garrison of Linshui County. This is General Qin, Mr. Qian Zong."

Ding Xiang bowed her knees to greet them, "General Guo, General Qin, Big Brother Sun, Big Brother Qian, Big Brother Zhu,"

The next few people nodded and smiled at Ding Xiang, only Mr. Guo was full of authority and gave a "hmm" nose.

The black-faced General Qin had a smile in his eyes, but Ding Xiang felt that the smile was very deliberate, and that there was a coldness behind the smile.

She couldn't help shivering, guessing that General Qin, like Zhu Zhan's father, was probably a pirate before, and had done murder and robbery.

The soldier Ding Lichun didn't introduce him, but Ding Xiang felt that he was Mr. Guo's personal soldier, because he watched Mr. Guo the most.

Those people got off their horses and walked towards the second room of the Ding family together.

Seeing this, Ling'er hurried home to report.

Ding Lichun held Ding Xiang's hand, Hei Wa followed, and Fei Fei habitually flew onto Ding Lichun's shoulder and stood there.

Qian Lei smiled and said, "Lichun, let's bring leopard eagles with us when we hunt."

Several young people like leopard eagles, so they urged Ding Lichun to take them with them.

Ding Lichun also didn't want these people to have an accident, and taking Feifei could help a lot, so he nodded in agreement.

When they came to the door of the house, Ding Zhuang was already waiting at the door, and asked Yang Hu to call Ding Zhao back quickly.

Invite the distinguished guests into the upper room, sit down, and serve tea.

Mr. Guo's soldiers did not enter the house, tied several horses to the trunk of the fruit tree, and took out feed to feed the horses.

Ding Lichun was busy running around.

Qian Lei laughed and said, "I'm causing trouble for Grandpa Ding."

Sun Yuhao also took out a box of dried sea cucumber and dried squid and gave it to Ding Zhuang, saying it was from his father.Without saying it clearly, Ding Zhuang also knew that Mr. Sun was thanking his family for the honey fat fragrant color bracelet.

Ding Zhuang thanked him, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Sun. Such a big official still misses us little people."

Seeing that the Sun family and the Ding family have such a good relationship, Guo Shoubei looked at Ding Zhuang differently.
