Xianggui

Chapter 151
Ding Xiang finished the meal first, and let Zhang Shi and Ling'er at the other table continue to eat.Then let Ling'er go to Li Maigao's family and tell them to go home in the next afternoon and bring back a bowl of braised pork for the two elder brothers to eat.

She goes home alone.

On the way, a young man in a blue gown came up to him and said with a smile, "Xiangxiang, are you ready to eat?"

It is Xiawenguan.

Since the last time he pissed him off, he hasn't approached Ding Xiang for a long time.

Ding Xiang didn't stop, and said, "It's over."

Xia Wenguan stared at the small figure that was drifting away for a long time.

The grandfather and father saw that the second wife of the Ding family had completely turned up, so they lowered their stance and wanted to improve their relationship with them.But both Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao were indifferent, so he had to try to win Ding Xiang's heart.

The Ding family doted on their daughter, and Ding Xiang came to ask for marriage as soon as she turned 15.As long as Ding Xiang is devoted to him, Ding Zhuang will be fine.

They did this not only because of Ding Xiang, but also because they were afraid that Ding's family would stop Ding Zhao's scientific examination before retaliating against his family.Cutting one's future is like killing one's parents. The more prosperous the Ding family is, the more afraid they are.

But Ding Xiang's attitude towards herself is difficult.

The small figure disappeared after turning around a courtyard wall, and Xia Wenguan looked back, feeling depressed.He thought again, Ding Xiang was high-spirited and Ding Liren was good at studies, so he could only win her heart if he worked harder to be admitted as a scholar.

Thinking of the scenery when he was a scholar, Xia Wenguan was happy again, and hurried home.

Li Maigao, who was eating not far away, saw this scene.

After Mrs. Zhang returned home, Li Maigao told her the way Xia Wenguan looked at Ding Xiang.

"That kid is only 12 years old. He looks bad at first glance, with sly eyes."

Mrs. Zhang scolded angrily, "Smelly shameless, how dare the family think about it."

She went to Lilac's house.

Ding Xiang was reclining on the step and reading a book.The little girl is pink and tender, as beautiful as a flower bud on a steep branch.

Someone cared about her at the age of seven, but will she still have it when she grows up?
Mrs. Zhang became worried and felt a heavy responsibility.

She walked over and sat beside her daughter, and solemnly instructed, "In the future, if you see Xia Wenguan stay away, that kid will never learn well."

Ding Xiang put down the book, wrinkled her nose and said, "That man is very annoying, I don't want to talk to him."

"Not only don't talk to Xia Wenguan, but also don't talk to any kid who wants to get close to you. Look at Tang, he was tricked by Ding Chi into marrying him, and he still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive."

Ding Xiang understood that the old lady came for the vaccination because she was afraid that she would be cheated.

She was a little moved, and sat up and leaned into Zhang's arms.

In the previous life, her grandmother told her these words.

Whether it was buying underwear for development, or buying sanitary napkins for menarche, and later being chased by boys, when Xiao Xunxiang was at a loss, it was grandma who broke her heart, and her parents never cared.

And now that she has just started to change her deciduous teeth, my mother is already worried about these things.

Ding Xiang said, "I know, it won't."

"The marriage is up to your father and mother, we will not harm you."

"Mom, I'm still young."

She grinned, missing a front tooth.

She had never been married in her previous life, and she had never been attracted to any man, so she thought she couldn't understand men.If you must marry someone in this life, and you haven't met a man you love, if your grandfather and parents are suitable, just listen to them.

They must be pickier than her.

Mrs. Zhang laughed, and felt that it was too early to think about these things.But Xia Wenguan must tell her husband about missing her daughter, and let him beat that kid.

The mother and daughter leaned on the couch and whispered.

Ding Zhuang came home at the end of the hour.His face was flushed from drinking, his nose was even redder, and his face was full of smiles.

Hearing the movement, Ding Xiang trotted out of the room, looking at him expectantly.

Ding Zhuang laughed, "Little Jingdouzi, I want to know everything..."

According to him, Tao Weng called himself "the people", and only he and his wife brought six servants back to live in their hometown.The two sons are still serving as officials, and the daughter married in the capital, but they didn't follow her back.

Tao Weng looked at Grandpa Ding Zhuang's fingers, stood up and bowed to him, saying that such elders are rare in the world and deserve everyone's respect.He also highly praised Ding Zhao, even if his brother harmed his family, he still treats the son left by his brother as his own.

And thanked Ding Zhuang for fighting for his mother when he was young.

Several relatives of the Tao family came here again, begging him on their knees to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors, but he refused.It is said that the ancestor of the Tao family would be ashamed to have such a descendant who disregards family affection and only seeks profit. He has already invited the ancestral tablet of the Tao family into his ancestral hall, and he has completely cut off that branch.

With that kind of experience, he admired Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao's family even more.

Ding Zhuang smiled happily, "There are so many accompanying guests, Tao Weng let me sit next to him, he talked to me the most, and didn't pay much attention to Xia Yuan. Tao Weng is a Jinshi and has been a high-ranking official, so he has no airs at all. East Wing The doors and windows were open, and I glanced at them. There were several rooms of books inside. This is the real scholar.

"Look at Mr. Xia, every day he shows himself to be the master of Tongsheng, and people look at him with his big nostrils. What is it! Although I have never been to his house, I also heard that the two shelves of his bookcase are not full."

Lilac dark music.

It sounds like Tao Weng is a pretty good guy.

Calling himself "the people", he does not use his former status to oppress the people.He attaches great importance to family affection, and treats Grandpa Ding Zhuang who protects the calf with special respect.No pedantic, no unprincipled compromise due to clan pressure...

His home is also a large library.

Ancient books are expensive, so many books cost thousands of taels of silver.

We must find a way to build a good relationship, read more books, and it is best to learn from a teacher.

However, what grandpa scolded Yuanwai Xia also made her blush.There didn't seem to be as many books in her bookcase as Xia Yuan's family.It's not that she doesn't want to buy more, after all, she is not yet seven years old.

Ding Zhuang said again, "Ding Youshou, that bastard, got a big bargain this time. The old houses he lived in were rented by Mrs. Tao Weng and his son. The owner of the house is dead. Ding Youshou spent less than a penny on renovations and moved in.

"Tao Weng asked someone to buy it for [-] pennies. He wanted to build a pavilion there and plant flowers and plants to commemorate his mother."

Mrs. Zhang said, "Ding Youshou is going crazy with the money that has been turned into fifteen guan."

In the evening, Ding Youcai and Mrs. Wang came to visit.

Said that Hao's disabled their two sons, Ding Youshou should compensate them ten pennies.They asked Ding Youshou for money, but Ding Youshou refused to give it, saying that he had divorced Hao Shi long ago, and Hao Shi's affairs were none of his business.

Ding Li didn't care, they wanted to ask Ding Zhuang to speak for them and ask Ding Youshou to pay them ten guan.

Ding Zhuang was too lazy to bother about their mess.Said that the small courtyard was not owned by the Ding family, and the Ding family could not control it, and asked them to find Xia Lizheng.

Xia Lizheng also made excuses to ignore it.

Ding Youshou now feeds the whole family by himself, and is not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet. Ding Youcai and Wang's dare not be tough with him.
