Xianggui

Chapter 167 Focus on Appearance
In the west room, Mrs. Zhang and Ding Lichun were talking in low voices.

As soon as Ding Xiang entered, she kicked off her little embroidered shoes, climbed onto the bed and sat with her eldest brother.

Mrs. Zhang asked, "Your eyes are red, did you not sleep well?"

Ding Xiang said sullenly, "I feel sorry for big brother, I can't sleep because of the tightness."

Ding Lichun was very touched, he took his younger sister's hand and squeezed it, "Brother is fine. When elder brother recovers from his illness, I will take my younger sister to play on the warship."

If it was before, Ding Xiang wanted to see ancient warships in her dreams, but now she has no such thoughts.

She asked, "Grandpa and Daddy went to give presents?"

Zhang said, "That's right, we also sent the post that we begged to see Mrs. Zhu."

Ding Xiang felt that since the Zhu family wanted to test her family, Mrs. Zhu should wait to see them, after all, it is better to find out information from women and children.

In the same way, she also wanted to see Mrs. Zhu, to see if she could find any clues she wanted from Mrs. Zhu.

As soon as Ding Xiang finished her breakfast, a girl came in led by Bai Sha.

Bai Sha smiled and said, "This is Sister Yanzi who is beside Madam."

Zhang Shi and Ding Xiang got up quickly.

"Miss Swallow."

"Sister Yanzi."

Swallow was fourteen or five years old, with delicate features, holding a tray in his hand, and on the tray was a brocade box with foreign paint and flowers.

She bowed her knees to Mrs. Zhang and Ding Xiang, and said with a smile, "My wife fell ill last night. I invited the doctor to come and see her early this morning. The doctor told my wife to stay in bed. My wife said that I will invite Mrs. Ding and Sister Xiang after she recovers." Go and talk."

He presented the brocade box on the tray again, "Madam heard that yesterday was my sister's seventh birthday, so I specially prepared a birthday present."

Ding Xiang was a little disappointed, took the brocade box with both hands and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zhu."

Mrs. Zhang gave Yanzi another purse containing six silver curlies.

Swallow thanked him and sat down.

Mrs. Zhang asked, "What disease does Mrs. Zhu suffer from?"

Swallow said, "Asthma, when the weather is cold or the mood is unstable, it is easy to get sick. Alas, my sister and son died of illness nine years ago. My wife couldn't bear the blow, crying every day, and her health became worse and worse..."

A few people chatted for a while, and Yanzi said goodbye and left.

Lilac opened the brocade box, and there were two big pink pearls lying on the purple flannel.The beads are round and shiny, not much smaller than a longan.

It was the first time in Ding Xiang's life that she saw such a big pearl.

Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth for a long time before closing it, and said, "We asked for so many good things from him, how can we pay back the love?"

There was no way for her son to repay the debt she owed to Shangfeng, and Mrs. Zhang felt as if a stone had weighed on her heart and she couldn't breathe.

Ding Xiang also felt that this baby was hot.It is easy to return valuable things, but I am afraid of priceless things, and I don’t know how to return them.

She closed the lid with an inexplicable expression.

My eldest brother saved his son, but the best gift was given to him.

Ding Lichun smiled and explained, "Mother, don't worry, Mr. Zhu's life is priceless. My son will continue to work hard to defend General Zhu to the death. Oh, General Zhu has already made an agreement with General Sun. Do things with your subordinates."

Although General Zhu is not as senior as General Sun, Ding Lichun is more willing to work with General Zhu, so that he can learn real skills and make contributions in the future.

Ding Xiang looked at the big brother who was grinning stupidly. They took him into the pit, and he didn't know anything.

While eating lunch, a servant came to report, "Boss Tang invited the old shopkeeper and shopkeeper Ding to the restaurant for a drink."

After dinner, Ding Lichun had a lunch break, and Mrs. Zhang sat beside him to accompany him.

Ding Xiang didn't want to sleep, so she came to the yard.

Look around, unfamiliar courtyard walls, roofs, trees, maybe there is a person who observes them hidden somewhere.

The white shark that has been circling under their noses must also be an earbud.

Ding Xiang turned around and went back to the house to lie down and think about things.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao returned home before noon, their faces were reddish and they hadn't drunk much.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, the two of them went to the Qin residence with gifts.

The father and son came back at the beginning of Xu Shi, very drunk.Ding Zhuang was even worse, staggering, his nose turned even redder when he was helped back by Ding Zhao.

Mrs. Zhang went to serve Ding Zhao, Bai Sha served Ding Zhuang, and Ding Xiang also went to help Grandpa twist the veil.

Ding Xiang didn't like Grandpa drinking too much, thinking that he couldn't say what he had been holding back for a day, and he was so angry that he pouted.

While wiping her face, she scolded her angrily, "Don't let grandpa drink more, but grandpa won't listen. This is good, the nose is even redder, and it's not pretty anymore."

Ding Zhuang said with his tongue out, "Granddaughter, don't blame Grandpa, Grandpa feels uncomfortable and wants to vomit."

Ding Xiang said, "Drink too much, it's not that you feel sick. I told you to drink less and drink less, but I didn't listen. After returning home, people will call you 'Ding Hongnose' again."

The voice is delicate and waxy, the small mouth is pouted, even if he is not happy, he looks pleasing.

Ding Zhuang couldn't bear his granddaughter's anger, so he coaxed, "Don't be angry, I don't care about being called red nose all my life."

White Shark lowered his head and endured the hard work with a smile.

As soon as Ding Zhuang finished washing his feet, he began to snore.

There are not many rooms here, and there are female relatives, so Bai Sha lives elsewhere at night.

He left the small courtyard and went straight to the outer study.

Zhu Qian and his son are here, they just sent Qin Hai away.

Bai Sha went in and reported the details of the day for the Ding family.When he talked about the conversation between Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang, both Zhu Qian and his son laughed.

That scene must have been fun.

Zhu Qian said, "I want to talk about Qin Hai, how can the old shopkeeper drink so much wine and make the little girl unhappy."

Zhu Zhan also laughed, "I didn't expect Miss Ding to pay so much attention to appearance, I'm afraid the old shopkeeper is not handsome."

After Bai Sha left, Zhu Qian said, "The third aunt is the old daughter of my grandparents. The elders and my parents all favor her, and she also likes to act like a baby. Alas, the precious and precious girl will live a happy life in the next few years." It's so bad, being bullied to death by two country women."

Not only her, but all the Dong family members had a miserable ending except herself.

He sighed deeply, "Tomorrow the Ding family will go to Lu's and Sun's houses, and nothing will happen the day after tomorrow. Ask Tang Zi to bring the old man to Jiaozhou early tomorrow morning, and we will treat them to a light meal the night after tomorrow."

Judging from the behavior of the Ding family, they are cautious and shrewd, they never lose anyone they should win over, they don't favor the high and step down, and put interests first.Even if you are drunk, you should say what you should say, and never say what you should not say.

Old shopkeeper Ding likes to brag, he just praises his grandsons for being smart, but he doesn't say a word about Ding Xiang.

Even when Qin Hai hinted that he could find a good doctor and asked if he needed to see Ding Xiang, the father and son handled it skillfully...

Father is willing to further hint?

Zhu Zhan replied, "Okay, I'll tell Uncle Qin to bring Grandpa Qin into the city."

He is especially willing to get to know the Ding family. With this family, little cousin Xiangxiang can spend more time with his mother, and her health may be better.
