Xianggui

Sun Mingjing really wanted to know more about Tao Weng's family affairs.Not only she wants to know, but someone else wants to know.

Ding Xiang dealt with a few words first, and then heard that she asked very detailed questions, even asking Tao Weng and his wife about their preferences and home decorations, so she had to say, "I am not familiar with Tao Weng and Mrs. Tao, but I just talked with my grandfather. My dad has been to his house a few times."

After the two children picked the flowers and looked at the fish, Ding Xiang also found out what she wanted to know.

The little girl who was with Sun Mingjing yesterday is Wang Wanchun, the third daughter of Vice President Wang's family. She is 11 years old this year.

As for the "Spring Festival Gala", Ding Xiang didn't have a good impression of that little girl from the Wang family.

The girls from these two families get together, and it is really possible that it is the Lu family and the Zhu family who are talking about it.

Sun Mingjing said, "I made an appointment with Third Sister Wang to go to her house to appreciate chrysanthemums on the fifteenth day of this month. Third Sister Lu... Oh, it's the third girl Lu Yuqi from Lu Zongbing's Mansion, and Sister Qi is the eldest girl Qi Xuemin from the Qi Zhifu's family. They all go, sister Xiang, go with me, I will introduce you to them."

A little expression of I will take you to Gaopan.

Don't say that Ding Xiang is not interested in the party of senior officials' ladies, even if she is interested, she will not join in the fun with these little girls.

She said, "You are all girls from high officials' families, I'm afraid."

Sun Mingjing smiled and said, "I have a very good relationship with them, so there is no need to be afraid. If you go and talk about Tao Weng and Mrs. Tao, Third Sister Lu will definitely like to hear it. She often asks me about Brother Mu and I..."

Feeling that she had slipped her tongue, she quickly changed her mouth and said, "Sanjie Lu likes Danqing, especially Dongshan old man's paintings. She wants to ask about brother Mu Tao Weng."

Ding Xiang glanced at Sun Mingjing, did she really think she was a seven-year-old child?

Ding Xiang still shook her head, "We're going back to our hometown soon, we can't go."

She was even more certain that the "Lu" they were talking about tomorrow was Zongbing Lu.Miss Lu is already married, and Miss Lu is still young, so there is no doubt that the marriage refers to Lu Yubing and Zhu Zhan.

How could such a smart person as Zhu Qian arrange such a bad marriage for his son?

The several families in the right and wrong are the Lu family, the Wang family, the Sun family, and the Zhu family. The first three are high-ranking military officials, and the Zhu family is a general who has been recruited.I don't know if those words are just gossiping between a few little girls, or there is some special purpose.

According to the relationship between Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Sun, if Mrs. Sun knew about it, he would definitely tell Mrs. Zhu.Maybe Sun Mingjing didn't dare to tell the adults at home, and the girl who followed her was so tight-lipped that Mrs. Sun didn't know.

Miss Lu San is ten years old this year. When she inquires about Sun Yumu, she doesn't know if it is for herself or for her sister.Sun and Mu are 13 years old, about the same age as their sisters.

The Lu family sisters wanted someone like Sun Yumu. Even though he was pushed out of Beijing by his second uncle, they still thought him good because of his noble background.

Ancient girls were really precocious.

After dinner, the guests were sent away, butler Bai came over with the gift list to show Ding Zhao and Mrs. Zhang.

The Sun House sent red coral ornaments, the Qin House sent two large glass vases, the Zou Family gave multicolored porcelain tea sets, and the Qian Lei Brothers sent multicolored porcelain tableware.

What Zhu Fu sent was a red envelope, which contained 2000 taels of silver.The Qin family also sent a red envelope, which contained 2000 taels of silver.

The two families knew what the Ding family lacked the most, so they gave them money.

Such a big gift made it difficult for Mrs. Zhang to breathe.

Ding Zhao said, "I heard from General Qin that General Zhu sent a small piece of ginseng to his father. General Qin is very happy about that precious ginseng..."

As for the Zhu family, they gave him ginseng and honey fragrance from their own family. These two things have no money to buy, so they compensated in this way.

Holding so much money, Ding Zhao was filled with emotion.The richest man in Linshui County, who Ding Chi had been thinking about and had been fighting for, had never thought about it, but he almost realized it inadvertently.

He glanced at Ding Xiang, these were earned by the little girl.Now the family has to keep a low profile and not give her a better life.When my daughter gets married, I must give her a lot of dowry...

Ding Xiang didn't look at Ding Zhao, she was thinking about Purple Gourd.She had an intuition that that stuff was better than that old ginseng, but she didn't know what was so good about it.

The next day, Ding Xiang slept until she woke up naturally.

Before opening your eyes, you can hear the chirping of birds outside the window.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes, and heard Zhang laughing, "Are you awake?"

"mother."

Mrs. Zhang is not used to being too far away from her daughter, so she came here after breakfast.

As soon as she hung up the gauze curtain, she was hugged by her daughter.

"Mother, where are daddy and elder brother?"

"They went to the street with Butler Bai."

Ding Zhuang wanted to buy a shop here to open an ironware shop, and asked Zhu Qian to bring 5000 taels of silver to Ding Zhao.

Ling'er came in with a copper basin and helped Ding Xiang to wash.

After breakfast, Ding Xiang accompanied Mrs. Zhang to check the account book, the decorations at home, and the daily necessities in the warehouse.

All the things were sent by Zhu's family, and I don't live here often, so I have to know what things are here.

It's noon after reconciliation.

The house plus the things inside are roughly estimated to be worth four to five thousand taels of silver.

At the beginning of Shen Shichu, Ding Zhao and his son and Bai Zihua came back.

They bought a shop and spent 200 taels of silver.The ironware store mainly sells farm tools and kitchen utensils, and it doesn't need a good location. It's in a small street not far from the city gate.One-story house, the yard behind is relatively large.

Ding Zhao was happy as long as he had something to do with Tie, and he was so excited that he even thought about how to decorate it.

Butler Bai is responsible for the decoration and recruitment.

Ding Xiang never thought of opening another shop in Jiaozhou, one is enough.

Although Jiaozhou is a port city, the places where foreigners do business are mainly concentrated in Mingzhou and Guangzhou.There are some things from Korea and Fusang, but these two countries are relatively poor, and they are not very interested in these business opportunities.

The place she most wants to open a business is the capital city and the south of the Yangtze River...

In the evening, the housekeeper of Qin's house said that General Qin invited Shopkeeper Ding and Uncle Ding to drink at home, and invited his sister to go too.There is no mistress in the family, so Mrs. Zhang was not invited.

Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun went there with Ding Xiang and a jug of wine they bought on the street today.

The structure of the Qin family is similar to that of the Ding family, and several people eat in the west wing of the front yard.

With no outsiders, Ding Xiang was at the same table as them.

Qin Hai and Ding Zhao drank wine from big bowls. Both Qin Zhen and Ding Lichun were injured and did not dare to drink too much.

As the wine got deeper, the few people talked more.

Qin Hai was dissatisfied with Vice President Wang, saying that he was incompetent, he was airborne, he was always jealous of General Zhu, and gave General Zhu to wear small shoes...

"Hey, he deserves it too. Fortunately, Master Lu is facing General Zhu. Although General Sun is not as high-ranking as him, his uncle is powerful, so that bastard dare not go too far."

It is no secret that Qin Hai's dissatisfaction with Vice President Wang was expressed in front of Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun.

According to what he said, Lu and Sun have a good relationship with Zhu Qian, and also have a good relationship with Vice President Wang.
