Xianggui

The sun that was about to set was also poisonous, and Lilac stood under the big tree by the door.

The two elder brothers came back first with two young servants.

They saw that the sister was listless.

One said, "My sister seems to be suffering from heatstroke, go to the backyard to rest, it's cool there."

One said, "Drink a bowl of cool mung bean paste to cool off the heat."

Ding Xiang shook her head, "I want to wait for Daddy."

The two young boys asked Dalu and Xiaolu to carry the book basket home, and then brought out two big cattail fans.

They waited with their sister and kept fanning her sister with big cattail fans.

A mule cart approached slowly.Walking by the Huiye Pavilion, I saw that Ding Zhao was driving the car, and Ding Zhuang was sitting behind.

Grandpa came back today too.

The three brothers and sisters greeted them.

Ding Zhuang smiled and carried Ding Xiang into the car, and the two boys climbed up by themselves.

Ding Zhuang noticed that his granddaughter was unhappy, and snorted coldly, "Xiangxiang is not feeling well? Your mother, if your daughter is not well, you don't know how to keep you in the house, and let you expose yourself to the sun."

A stick hit Zhang Shi.

Ding Xiang shook her head and said, "I'm not bad, I just had a nightmare."

Hearing that she had a nightmare, both Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao froze.

Ding Zhuang said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we go back."

Back in the east courtyard, Ding Xiang said what she had said to Mrs. Zhang again.

"I want to go to Jiaodong to see my elder brother, bring more good medicine, and bring our ginseng."

With the improvement of cast iron technology, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao are more convinced of Ding Xiang's dream.

It's just that Ding Zhuang thinks it's An Antuo's dream, and Ding Zhao thinks it's the dream of his mother and second aunt.

Ding Lichun was in danger, so he must go to Jiaodong to see him.

Ding Zhao said, "Father, you haven't finished your work yet, you stay to look after the house, and Zhi Niang and I will go to Jiaozhou."

There is always one person at home.

Ding Zhuang nodded and agreed, "Okay, if the situation in Lichun is not good, send someone to deliver a letter to me. There is no shortage of medicine in Jiaodong, just bring a piece of ginseng there, maybe it can save your life. Then take that ganoderma lucidum and give it to grandson." grown ups."

Mr. Sun is a general, and he wants to give generous gifts for Ding Lichun's future.Although the Ganoderma lucidum is good, it's not as good as the ones in Jitou Peak that are too good to be coveted by others.

As for the rest of the peak, I will send items from Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion.Now, the items of Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion have become the best choice for people to give gifts.Not only are the items good, but the packaging is also beautiful.

The embroideries in my warehouse are all made by country women, and they are low-priced items in Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion.When passing through the county tomorrow, go to Zhixiu Pavilion to get some better ones.

Ding Xiang said with tears in her eyes, "I also want to see Big Brother."

Ding Zhuang refused without even thinking about it, "No, there are Huazi outside."

Ding Xiang choked up and said, "In the family's mule cart, I don't run around, I keep holding Daddy's hand, patting Huazi can't take me away."

"That's not OK."

Ding Zhao also didn't want to bring Lilac, "The road is far away, the car is hot, and I have to stay in the inn for three nights. Although the world is peaceful now, I can't guarantee that I won't encounter robbers."

Ding Xiang felt stubborn and burst into tears, "I'm going, I'm going, woo woo woo..."

No matter how Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao reasoned, she was crying and going.

She was afraid that her eldest brother would be seriously injured, so she had to go.

Mrs. Zhang came in and hugged her to persuade her, but Ding Xiang didn't listen, she hiccupped from crying, her face and nose were flushed.

The fragrance in the air is getting stronger and stronger.

Ding Liren and Ding Lilai also wanted to go, but they didn't dare to cry like their sister, but stood here quietly, hoping that their sister would make trouble with them.

Ding Liren smelled the fragrance in the room.He knew it was from his sister, but if the elders didn't tell him, he wisely didn't ask. It would be bad for his sister if it spread.

Ding Lilai sniffed, thinking that the incense burner was lit in his sister's room.I will tell my sister in the future that this kind of fragrance smells good, so I will buy more pieces of this kind of fragrance.

Ding Zhuang couldn't help but compromised, "Okay, okay, go, go. If you go, I will go with you."

Ding Liren said, "Master, I also want to see my eldest brother."

Ding Li said, "Take me too."

Ding Zhuang was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he slapped his head and cursed, "Get out of here, and let me see how I deal with you."

Ding Liren and Ding Lilai's eyes were red, and they looked at Ding Xiang beggingly, hoping that their sister could say something nice to them.

Ding Xiang pretended not to understand what they meant, and buried her head in Zhang's neck.She can't take care of them anymore, it's good if she can go by herself, if she asks more, I'm afraid that grandpa will change his mind.

The two young boys had no choice but to leave angrily.

Ding Zhuang asked Mrs. Zhang to prepare the things to be taken away tomorrow, and asked Ding Zhao to go to Shitou and Mr. Wang's house after dinner to explain the manufacturing business.

The reasoning to the outside world is that Mrs. Zhang thought about Ding Lichun very much, so she decided to go to Jiaodong together.

Li Maigao came over and said, "Old shopkeeper, Mr. Hong brought two pickers of firewood to our house. He said he cut a lot today, so he will send some to our family."

Ding Zhuang gave him a few pennies, "It's not easy for them, so give me the money."

Li Maigao returned to the west courtyard and handed the money to Hong Daguo.

Da Hong thanked her, and said in a low voice, "I heard your sister crying a lot just now. Xiangxiang usually looks gentle and sensible, what's wrong?"

Li Maigao laughed and said, "Sister Xiang is still a child no matter how sensible she is, she is acting like a baby with the old shopkeeper. When she makes a fuss, the old shopkeeper will agree to everything."

After finishing speaking, he smiled dotingly twice.

After dinner, several people gave Ding Xiang the birthday gift they entrusted Zhang to buy.

Xiangxiang's birthday will be celebrated in Jiaozhou Mansion.

What Ding Zhuang gave was a jade pen holder, what Ding Zhao and his wife gave was a set of silk autumn shirts, four jujube flowers, and a book of poetry jointly given by Ding Liren and Ding Lilai.

Shopkeeper Gong and Ding Sifu also asked Mrs. Zhang to bring back the birthday gift.Shopkeeper Gong gave a pair of small embroidered shoes made by her, and Ding Sifu gave him a pair of pink velvet flowers made by him.

Ding Xiang expressed his thanks.

Ding Xiang has to go and tell Tao Gong and the old lady in person that she can't accompany them during this time.

Ding Zhuang is going to Ding Shan's house and asks Ding Shan to take care of the house.

The grandfather and grandson took Ling'er, Feifei and Heizi to Tao's house together.

It was getting dark, Ding Zhuang sent them to Tao's door.He also agreed that he would pick them up later.

When the old lady heard that Ding Xiang was going to Jiaozhou, she said with a smile, "Coincidentally, one of my grandson's cousins ​​is also there. He is a general in the navy, named Sun Linfeng. Let's bring some things over there..."

Tao Weng said, "I have met Lu Zongbing a few times, and I will prepare a gift for him, and I will also write him a letter."

General Sun Shen is actually a relative of the Tao family!
This kinship made Ding Xiang's head turn around. The cousin of the old lady's grandson is also the cousin of the old lady's son-in-law.General Sun Shen's uncle was the Commander of the Navy. It is not known whether her grandson is Dudu Sun's own grandson or grandnephew.

As for Lu Zongbing, the Ding family never thought of having such a big official relationship.Now that we have Tao Weng's letters and presents, our family can also go to show up and give a gift.
