Xianggui

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao were very happy.Lichun saved General Zhu's son, and he did not have to worry about his life. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise.

As for suffering a little, a big man is not afraid of death, so he is afraid of suffering.

The mule cart stopped in front of the Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion, and Zou Qing rode to the Garrison Mansion.

Ding Xiang and Mrs. Zhang took a lot of things from the Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion, including kang screens, pan buttons, rich and noble knots, colorful bracelets, and round fans, all of them high and middle grades.The high-end ones are sent to senior officials, while the mid-range ones are sent to Ding Lichun's immediate superior and people he needs to make good friends with, including Zou Qing and Qian Lei.

Half an hour later, Zou Qing arrived with five soldiers on horseback.

Ding Zhao gave those people one tael of silver each.

It was early noon at this time, and everyone had finished eating at a nearby restaurant and headed towards Jiaozhou.

Ding Xiang didn't sleep well last night, now knowing that her elder brother's life was not in danger, she felt relaxed, and fell asleep in Zhang's arms as soon as she got in the car.

When Mrs. Zhang woke her up, it was already dusk.

They came to a station.

The post station stands in the wilderness, and there is a village in the distance. Two lanterns with the word "post" written on it at the door are swaying in the wind.

Ding Xiang shuddered, remembering a certain scene in a ghost movie in her previous life.

Their identities are not qualified to live in the inn, but it is under the jurisdiction of Linshui County, and they have a letter from Guo Shoubei, so they live in.

The Ding family was not short of money, so they ordered a table to invite Zou Qing and those military masters to drink and eat at night.

Ding Xiang shared a room with Ding Zhao and his wife, and they didn't dare to go out for a walk to see the scenery, so they stayed in the room obediently.

Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast and set off.

There is no curtain on the carport, and Ding Xiang looks at the scenery outside.There are many mountain roads in this section, and the bumps and bumps are very uncomfortable. It didn't take long for me to lose interest in seeing the scenery.

Before noon, they didn't go to the village or back to the shop. Everyone ate the snacks brought by home, fed the horse mules, and went on the road after a short rest.

When it was getting dark, we finally arrived at a small town.

Go to the city and find an inn to stay.

It began to rain lightly at night, and it continued to rain the next day.

Everyone braved the rain to move forward.

Today is July [-]th, Lilac's real birthday.

Every year on this day, Ding Xiang is especially grateful to this family.

If her parents hadn't picked her up, how could she have grown to such a big size.If grandpa hadn't cut off his finger to save her, how could she have such a good life.There are also a few older brothers who dote on her.

In the car, she flirted with her grandfather and her mother, and even tugged at her daddy's coir raincoat who was driving in the rain, but unfortunately her brothers were not there.

Came to another station before dark.

This place is already close to Jiaozhou, even if the post station is not under the management of the navy, they will live in it based on the letter from General Sun Shen.

As soon as Ding Xiang opened her eyes the next morning, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "My daughter is seven years old, and her life is going well."

Ding Xiang sat up, put her arms around Zhang's neck, and buried her head in the hollow of her neck.

Ding Zhao pushed the door open and came in, and said with a smile, "I'm still acting like a baby with my mother. Put on your clothes quickly, your master is anxious to see you."

This was outside, Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to dress up her daughter too much, so she put on a half-worn green silk skirt, but the ordinary colored bracelets on the bowl were replaced with colored bracelets strung with jade beads.Yuzhu is the best jade, Ding Zhao and Zhang have never been willing to wrong their daughter.

Ding Xiang went to Grandpa's room.

Ding Zhuang sat on the bed, looked at the granddaughter who came in and smiled, "Time flies, in a blink of an eye, my granddaughter is seven years old, and she is even more handsome."

And more and more like Ann.

He is happy, but also lost.

My granddaughter has grown up, and I can no longer hold her like I did when I was a child.

Ding Xiang walked over and leaned into Grandpa's arms, hugging his neck with both hands, humming and chirping, twisting her little body non-stop.

Ding Zhuangji was very useful, but he still said insincerely, "Xiangxiang has grown up, and she can no longer act like a baby with grandpa."

Ding Xiang said reluctantly, "Lao Laizi is 70 years old and still wears colorful clothes to entertain his relatives. I am only seven years old, and I am young."

Ding Zhuang laughed out loud, "You can't go out like this."

"Okay." Ding Xiang agreed happily.

Continue to set off after breakfast.

At the end of Shenshi in the next afternoon, I finally arrived at the gate of Jiaozhou City.

Two soldiers were waiting outside the city gate.

Seeing them, one of them rode back to report the news, and one of them came over and clasped his fists to Zou Qing and said, "General Zou, it's time for you. Lichun lives in my general's mansion to recuperate, and goes directly to Zhu's mansion."

Zou Qing introduced, "He is General Zhu's personal soldier, He Yong."

Ding Zhao asked, "How is Lichun injured?"

He Yong hugged Ding Zhao and said, "Brother Lichun is better, and he can still get up and walk a few steps today."

The members of the Ding family were completely relieved.

After entering the city gate, Ding Xiang looked out the window.

The streets are so wide that six carriages can run parallel on the main street at the same time.I don't know whether it's because of the dampness or because of the aesthetics, but the houses here are made of blue tiles and black bricks, and there is no whitewashed walls.

There is a lot of cries, and most of them sell seafood.

In the past, ancient Qingdao was just a small town, but in this world it has developed into a bustling seaside city.

Clove seems to smell a fishy smell of the sea, mixed with the umami smell of seafood.

She fell in love with this city right away, and said, "Grandpa, we can buy a house here, and let's see if my eldest brother has a place to live."

She knew that her father had 1000 taels of silver on him, so it should be enough to buy a house.

Ding Zhuang smiled and said, "My granddaughter is smart, why didn't I expect that. Lichun is already 14 years old, and we can live in a house if we buy a house for him to marry a wife."

The old man thought further.

It took less than half an hour to arrive at the Zhu Mansion.

Zhu Zhan was waiting at the door.

At the mule station, Zhu Zhan went over to give Ding Zhao a deep bow, "Uncle Ding, Lichun was injured because of my nephew, and my nephew is ashamed."

Ding Zhao jumped off the mule cart, saluted him and said, "Little General Zhu, you are welcome."

Ding Zhuang also jumped out of the car and greeted Zhu Zhan.

Ding Xiang stuck her head out of the small window, grinned and smiled at Zhu Zhan, "Brother Zhu."

Zhu Zhan also smiled at her.

Zhu Zhan led the way, and the mule cart went to a yard.

The small courtyard is quiet, with six rooms at the front and back, with an iron tree planted in the middle and a few clumps of bamboo in the corner.

Mrs. Zhang and Ding Xiang got out of the car.

Several people entered the house impatiently.The west room door was open, and Ding Lichun's voice came, "Master, father, mother, sister."

The voice is not high, with joy.

Several people rushed into the west room, Mrs. Zhang took his left hand, Ding Xiang climbed directly onto the bed, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao looked him up and down.

"Is your son okay?" Zhang's voice was choked with sobs.

Ding Lichun's face was pale, his cheeks were sunken, his upper body was bare, and the cloth belt was tied obliquely on his right shoulder.

He smiled, "Mom, it's all right."

The spirit is not bad.

Ding Xiang touched his face, "Brother, does it hurt?" She replied to herself, "It must be very painful."

Ding Lichun smiled nonchalantly, "It doesn't hurt."

Ding Zhuang said with a smile, "Your injury is not as serious as the one I got in a fight when I was young. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for a few days."

Ding Zhao laughed, it was indeed much better than he imagined.
