Xianggui

Chapter 169

Mrs. Sun said to Sun Mingjing with a serious face, "Although Ding's family is a merchant, Mr. Ding's shopkeeper has great skills. The master treats him with great courtesy and respect. Today, his family members are here as guests, and you dare to neglect them and treat the master and me I don't care about face. Go back and copy "Nvjie" ten times."

Sun Mingjing's eyes were red, and she bent her knees and said, "Mother, it's my daughter's fault, I don't dare to do it again."

Mrs. Sun ignored her, so Sun Mingjing had no choice but to go outside.

Mrs. Sun said to a woman again, "Let Aunt Li copy "The Female Precepts" twenty times and confine her for a month. Such a grown-up man, he doesn't know what is good or bad, and he talks about it all day long, as if he was in a daze."

Sun Mingjing's footsteps stopped, and tears welled up.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to accuse him of a crime, is he venting his anger at himself on his aunt?

Father treats Ding's family with courtesy and attention, why didn't he inform her in advance?Didn't he just want to catch his own mistakes and punish his aunt, and also put eye drops on his aunt in front of his father.

I have everything I need to guard against, but I fall into the hands of a small merchant.

After a while, Sun Yuhao walked in with the letter and two packages.

He will take the autumn exam next year, and his family specially invited a teacher who teaches strategy to teach him at home.

Because I knew old shopkeeper Ding, I went to drink with him at noon.

Mrs. Sun read Tao Weng's letter and the gift from the two families.

Said, "You and Mu Fannian will come to the army, and you can often go to accompany Mrs. Tao. It's a pity that the child was selected as a scholar at the age of 13, and he is the first among the nobles. They all thought that our Sun family would There was a champion, but he threw his pen into the army."

Sun Yuhao said with a smile, "With Mu in the martial arts exam, the Sun family can still produce the number one scholar."

Mrs. Sun really wanted to say how Wu Zhuangyuan could compare with Wen Zhuangyuan, but she didn't say it.He also said, "When you go to Linshui County with Mu, you also go with him. Ask Tao Weng for advice."

When Ding Xiang came to the outer courtyard, she saw Ding Zhuang's face flushed from a long distance away.

Ding Zhuang originally wanted to go to the street to look at the houses, but now he was too drunk to see the houses.She fell asleep as soon as she got in the car, and even Ding Xiang could hear the snoring in the car.

The smell of cloves is stuffy.The Zhu family and the Sun family must have done it on purpose. They got grandpa drunk, what kind of truth did they want to tell?
In any case, I will tell my grandfather and father about my doubts tonight.

Lilac opened the brocade box, and it was a string of coral bracelets.The beads are bright red and eye-catching, a little smaller than soybeans, and round.The bracelet is very long, and it needs to be wrapped four times when it is put on Lilac's wrist, and it needs to be wrapped three times when it grows up.

This string of beads is worth at least a few dozen taels of silver.

The gift from my family to the Sun Mansion is a Suxiu embroidered kang screen, twelve pairs of top-quality phoenix tail buckles, and four pairs of flower basket buckles, probably worth nearly 200 taels of silver.

Finally, she did not owe the senior officials any favors, and Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, they gave the Sun House a ganoderma lucidum and a purple phoenix-tail plate button, and the Zhu family Tibetan blue phoenix-tail plate button and kang screen.Because the gift from the Zhu family was too generous, the gifts from the Sun and Zhu families were exchanged.

I'm not familiar with Lu Zongbing's mansion, and I don't know what kind of person he is, so it's not good to give too expensive gifts, and I can't be too casual. What I gave are [-] pairs of top-notch hollow flower buckles with gold thread and four double-sided gifts. Su embroidery round fan.

When they got home, Ding Zhao had already returned and was talking to Ding Lichun.

Seeing that Ding Zhuang was drunk again, he quickly got up and helped his father go to bed.

After Ding Zhao came back, he talked about his trip to the Lu family.He was received by a steward, delivered Tao Weng's letters, gifts and his own gifts, drank a cup of tea and left.

If it weren't for Tao Weng's letter, the Lu family would not even meet the Ding family.

Ding Xiang thinks that this is normal and normal.

The Zhu family treated their own common people too well, unlike the family members of a soldier, even if the soldier saved his family.

Ding Zhao also went to two dental shops. The houses here are more expensive than those in the provincial capital.

For the relatively new and large ones in the city, the three-entry house is about 200 taels to 500 taels of silver, and the two-entry house is 700 to 900 taels.The ones on the edge of the city are relatively new. The three-entry house costs 700 taels, and the two-entry house costs 500 taels.

"Our family is just a mud leg, and Lichun is a big soldier, so we bought a three-entry house near the city. He will live in it with his wife in the future, and we will live in it when we come."

According to Lilac's original intention, she should buy a good house with more than 1000 taels of silver.I am not a mud leg, and the products of "Bao Tie" will have a far-reaching impact in the future.After cooperating with the military, my eldest brother has a bright future.

But now she doesn't want to think about it, who knows what the Zhu family means.

Seeing that the girl who likes to make up her mind didn't speak, Ding Zhao asked, "Xiangxiang, what do you think?"

Ding Xiang said, "Wait a minute, if you want to buy it, buy it. Although the house near the city is cheap, the surrounding environment will not be good, and it will be uncomfortable to live in."

In the evening, it began to rain lightly.The raindrops ticked on the tiles, making Dingxiang even more restless.

Ding Zhuang was still awake at dinner time, so he left his food, and the others ate first.

The white shark came to collect the dishes.

Ding Zhao said with a smile, "The weather is bad, you can go back and rest, we will take care of you in Lichun."

White Shark said hello.

Ding Zhao sent the white shark out, and then closed the small courtyard door.

Ding Xiang went out and whispered to Ding Zhao, "Father, I have something important to tell you and grandpa."

You can't tell Mrs. Zhang about this, for fear that she will be frightened.Also don't tell Ding Lichun for the time being, let him recuperate well.

Ding Zhao has already seen that his daughter has something on her mind today.

He said, "Go to your grandfather's house."

He asked Ling'er to go back to the house to rest, and then went to look around in the yard before going to the east room and closing the door.

Ding Xiang had already lit a candle, woke Ding Zhuang up, and asked him to wipe his face with a handkerchief.

Ding Zhuang's head was still a little heavy, he laughed and said, "The granddaughter is not angry, I just drink more here, and bear it when I go home."

Ding Xiang said nothing, climbed up the chair and closed the small window tightly.

Ding Zhao came in, they sat on the bed, and Ding Xiang expressed his doubts.

"General Sun attracted General Zhu and General Qin after he saw me. General Qin rescued me, and he deliberately established a good relationship with grandpa and father. Because General Qin's son made a mistake, the eldest brother happened to beg General Zhu, and then we cited here.

"General Zhu said that I look like his daughter. He and Mrs. Zhu gave me such a good gift... Why do I feel that they are approaching us step by step, and we are attracted by them step by step?"

At the critical moment, Ding Xiang didn't go around the bush and said it clearly.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao were enlightened and stared at each other with wide eyes.

That's right, General Zhu said that Xiangxiang looks like his daughter!
"He found it?"

He glanced at Ding Xiang again, but didn't say anything further.

The sound of the rain outside became louder, making it even more like the sound of needles falling inside the house.

Ding Xiang looked blankly at his grandfather and father who looked surprised and unwilling to tell the truth, and said after a while, "You have something to hide from me?"

He nodded again knowingly, "Oh, grandpa said that I look like grandma, and General Zhu said that I look like Fang'er, that is, grandma and Fang'er look alike. Could it be that grandma is not from the Xue family, but from the Zhu family? "
