Xianggui

Ding Xiang thought of those words again, Miss Wang San told Sun Mingjing what she said, maybe it was not just gossip.If it gets to the Zhu family's ears, it will not only destroy the marriage between the Zhu and Lu families, but also cause suspicion of picking up the relationship between the two families. It is likely that the adults ordered it.

Seeing Ding Xiang's erratic eyes, Qin Hai thought he had neglected the little girl, and smiled at her again, "General Zhu taught me a lesson, saying that I made the old shopkeeper drink too much and made little girl Ding unhappy. Haha, I see, From now on, only shopkeeper Ding will be allowed to drink, and the old shopkeeper will not be fed."

Ding Zhao said with a smile, "Children are ignorant and talk nonsense."

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Xiangxiang is not an ignorant child." Then he regretted, "My wife gave birth to a bunch of sons, but she didn't give birth to a girl. Otherwise, Xiangxiang will have a playmate at my house, so don't worry about it. .”

Ding Xiang just passed the words into Ding Xiang's mouth, and she smiled, "I was playing with sister Sun's family, and she also asked me to go to Vice President Wang's mansion to play with sister Wang San, but I didn't go. I don't like them."

Qin Hai wondered, "Oh, why?"

Ding Xiang opened her big clear eyes and said, "Although Sister Sun smiled at me, I know she doesn't think that my family is a merchant. That day, I met Sister Sun and Sister Wang San at the gouache shop. Listen to what they said, the Lu family My sister is dissatisfied with the marriage and cries every day.

"It's said that the man's family background is not good and he has no future. Many people are laughing at her...Although I am young, I also know that it is not good to talk about others like this, and it is even worse to talk about it in the shop."

She passed on this word.

She dared not tell Mrs. Zhu, for fear that she would get angry.He didn't dare to tell Zhu Qian, for fear of misunderstanding, that "Lu" was not the second girl Lu.

Qin Hai is Zhu Qian's absolute confidant, he knows everything about the Zhu family.

If it wasn't about Lu Zongbing's family, he wouldn't take it to heart.If he recognizes that it is the family and there are overtones, he will naturally deal with it.

A trace of hostility flashed in Qin Hai's eyes.

The relative was proposed by Lu Zongbing on his own initiative. Mr. Zhu thought that Lu Zongbing was a good person, and the second girl Lu looked smart, so he agreed.I didn't expect to be disgusted, and I took it out to be said so.

Qin Hai squeezed out a smile and said, "Xiangxiang is a good boy, don't play with those little girls who love to chew their tongues. That little girl Sun is a concubine, and her biological mother has short-sightedness, which delayed the child. As for the girl from the Wang family, Zhandu Don't get involved, that family doesn't have a single good thing."

Qin Zhen also heard the implication, and snorted coldly, "Second girl Lu is matched with Zhu Zhan, and Zhu Zhan is the one who suffers, and she is not happy. Father, if you pass this word to Uncle Zhu, the marriage between the two families will definitely fail. Wouldn't it be as good as that bastard's wish?"

Qin Hai frowned and said, "You mustn't say this, it will affect the relationship between the several families. If you don't look at the monk's face, you should look at the Buddha's face, and you have to deal with all aspects of this matter, and you can't let Mr. Lu lose face..."

Is this to retire the marriage, but also to retreat decently?
Ding Xiang was relieved.

Qin Zhen put the wine cup in his hand on the table, wiped his mouth and said, "It's still fun to be a pirate, and I want to do whatever I want. It's not like here, I'm tied up, and a kid has to deal with it carefully, so he The mother is not happy..."

He was still young when his family was a pirate. Although he hadn't gone out to sea to snatch things, he knew that grandpa and dad seemed to live more happily there.

Qin Hai slapped Qin Zhen and cursed, "Little bastard, you're getting more and more careless when you talk. If you talk nonsense, I'll see if I don't beat you."

Ding Zhao said with a smile, "Okay, okay, let's talk about something happy."

Several people talked about Feifei again.

Qin Zhen was particularly regretful that he didn't see it, and agreed to go hunting at Ding's house next time and take Feifei with him.

Ding Xiang laughed, "Next time I come to Jiaozhou, I'll bring Feifei."

Qin Zhen was very interested, "Okay, let's take it to play in the sea."

When it was dark, Ding Zhao hugged Ding Xiang as soon as he left the Qin Mansion.

He whispered in her ear, "Did you say that on purpose to Uncle Qin?"

Ding Xiang hugged his neck and said, "Well, but I didn't lie."

Ding Zhao said with a smile, "Daughter is right."

Whether public or private, he doesn't want Zhu Zhan's daughter-in-law to have ulterior motives.

From the next day, Ding Xiang went to Zhu Mansion in a carriage to accompany Mrs. Zhu after breakfast.It was not until Zhu Qian and his son came back and had dinner together that they were sent home.

After a few days, Ding Xiang, Zhu Qian and Zhu Zhan became more enthusiastic.Several people eat and talk together, just like a family.

For two days Zhu Qian boarded the ship for inspection and did not come back at night, so Ding Xiang was left to rest in bed with Mrs. Zhu.

Ding Xiang also knew more about Zhu's affairs.

The Zhu family had a spice shop in Jiaozhou, several shops in Dingzhou and Beijing, commercial firms in Guangzhou and Mingzhou, and a Zhuangzi in Heikouwan.

There are also several merchant ships.This is a legal merchant ship, and there should be illegal ones.

The Zhu family's business is managed by Qin Hai's father, Qin Jin, with a few confidantes.

Qin Jin, that is, Wang Qing who ran out with little Dong Yihe.

He is 62 years old today.

Qin Hai and his eldest son Qin Zhen followed Zhu Qian in the military camp.Qin Lei, also known as Brother Hong, belongs to the hidden pile, specializing in the secret front.Qin Lei also has a twin brother, Qin Li, who specializes in managing Zhu's business with Mr. Qin...

On the morning of September [-]th, Ding Xiang was talking to Mrs. Zhu when a shopkeeper was brought in by the woman.

The shopkeeper, in his forties, bowed and said with a smile, "Madam, Mizhixiang made some face powder earlier, and the rosary and pendant will have to wait for a while."

As he spoke, he put a pastel porcelain pot on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Mrs. Zhu said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Ji has worked hard."

Madam Wei handed over a purse.

Shopkeeper Ji thanked him and withdrew.

Mrs. Zhu opened the porcelain jar, and the incense powder inside was black and red.

A faint fragrance wafted out.

Mrs. Zhu smiled all over her eyes, and then put the porcelain lid back on.

She cleaned her hands and led Ding Xiang to the side room.

The small table with painted flowers on the kang has been replaced by a rectangular table with short legs, covered with a layer of flannelette.

The seagull is holding a small enamel-colored incense burner and putting it on the table.

Swallow came over with a tray and put several azure porcelain pots and plates on it.

Huang Ying put a few small spoons and small brushes.

With so many things, Lilac only knows the incense burner.

Ding Xiang asked, "Auntie, what is this?"

Mrs. Zhu introduced them one by one with a smile, "This is the incense burner, this is the incense cup, this is the incense bottle, and this is the charcoal basin... These seven are fire props, incense spoon, incense shovel, ash press, incense chopsticks, Xiangzhu..."

Mrs. Zhu opened the lid of the small incense burner, scooped out the incense ash with an incense shovel and put it into the incense burner, scattered the ashes with incense chopsticks, pressed them flat with ash, put in incense seals and pressed them on the incense ash, and put the incense powder in to flatten them.

Finally, use an incense broom to sweep away the ashes around the incense burner, and take out the incense seals.

The white incense ash is covered with dark red incense powder, and the incense powder is lit with incense charcoal, and then the furnace cover is closed.

As a few wisps of cigarette smoke floated from the stove cover, a strong aroma spread out.

This is the ancient way of incense.

It is much more troublesome than throwing incense slices into the incense burner, lighting incense sticks, and putting incense pills directly into the sachet.
