Xianggui

Ding Zhuang's eyes lit up, and he laughed a few times with joy.It has been a lifetime pain for his son not to take the imperial examination. If he "enters the officialdom" in this way, it will be regarded as the fulfillment of An An's last wish.

Ding Zhao said again, "What my cousin means is that if someone comes from the capital, we must arrange for Xiangxiang to leave first, and we must not let them see it."

Ding Zhuang said, "It's only natural."

Ding Xiang is not only happy for the future Ding family, but also for Zhu Zhan.Such a good big boy deserves a better girl.It's just that he turned 20 years old, and he was an old leftover man in ancient times.

In the next few days, the Ding family went to the Qian family, Guo Shoubei's house, and He County Magistrate's house in the county seat to give New Year gifts.

He also gave the Tao family a new year gift.A pair of glass vases, a set of brocade winter coats for each of the elderly couple, a pair of cotton trousers, eight pairs of buttons, and eight boxes of homemade snacks.

Ding Zhao led the three brothers and sisters to send them off.

The Tao family also gave the Ding family a new year gift for the second bedroom, a basket of oranges, three sets of four treasures for the study, four boxes of candy from the capital, and four bottles of sherbet.

It was sent by Sun Yumu.

Citrus is a rare fruit in the north, and many people have never even seen it.

Ding Zhuang not only sent a few to relatives and friends in the village, but also sent some to Qian's family and Ding Shu's mother's family in the county.

On the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, Ding Xiang had a long vacation like the students in other academies and private schools, and school would not start until the twentieth of the first lunar month next year.

This year, the Ding family had the richest year.

Not a surplus, but affluence.

The master wears brocade, and the slave wears silk.There are chickens, ducks, fish and seafood on the table, there are endless fireworks and firecrackers, and the trees under the corridor are full of colorful lights.

This year's New Year's Eve is the happiest night for the people of Beiquan Village.

The sound of firecrackers from the second bedroom of Ding's family and Tao's family came one after another, and the sky above the courtyards of the two houses was filled with fireworks.

Not to mention that the villagers of this village came out to watch the excitement, even the villagers of several nearby villages came to watch, thinking that it was as lively as the county town.

At the end of the Xu Dynasty, Ding Xiang was so "sleepy" that she couldn't open her eyes, so she went back to her room to rest.

At this time, the woman may not have slept.No matter how late it is, what are you looking at in the dark.

Ding Xiang locked the door, and took out the portrait of Mama Li and the information written in pinyin from the cabinet.

Since she was one and a half years old, she drew and wrote these things, changed drafts three times, and read them several times a year.

Finally, she stared at the portrait of Mama Li for a long time.

In the past nearly eight years, I don't know what this evil slave has become, and whether he is still alive.

I hope that if it rains, she can dream again.

Ding Xiang ran back and forth in the room.

Feifei liked the action of the little master the most, and happily got into the tent.

The sweat is getting more and more, and the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger.

Today is the New Year's Eve, and the lights will not be turned off all night, looking forward to the prosperity of the coming year.

Ding Xiang lifted the net and lay down on the bed.

Not long after, Ding Xiang's eyes opened up, the sky was full of stars, and there were mountains in the starlight.

The camera slides down slowly, the hillside is full of greenery, and there are many simple houses on stilts.

The camera continued to move forward, and saw three people sitting on the floor in the building, two men and one woman, with a few piles of large money in the middle.

The woman is stringing money, and the small oil lamp in front of her illuminates her face brightly and darkly.

The women wore batik blue cloth clothes, not Dali style, with many patches sewn on them.There was also a piece of cloth wrapped around the head, revealing a twisted braid.

He is about 50 years old, extremely thin, with a dark yellow complexion and wrinkles on his face.The eyebrows are extremely sparse, and the mole at the end of the left eyebrow appears to be larger and darker.

Even though she turned into ashes, Ding Xiang recognized her as Mama Li.

Mother Li's actual age should be in her early 30s.Even if Ding Xiang didn't want to see her anymore, and found her face disgusting, she had to admit that she was actually pretty, fair and delicate.

But it is difficult for this old woman to connect with the little woman in the impression and painting.

Get old too fast.

The woman strung up the money and handed it to the man. The man seemed to think it was too little, so he cursed and slapped the woman twice on the head.Ding Xiang also dreamed about this man, the man who took a boat ride with Mother Li last time.

The other man was fourteen or five years old, dark and thin, he should be their eldest son.I didn't see my youngest son, so I don't know if he happened to be away or died.

The two stood up with the money and went down the stilted building.

The camera follows them down the hill.

There is a yard at the foot of the mountain.The wooden walls are tiled and the courtyard gate is a wooden fence, which is very high and the wooden gate is thick and strong.Even in her dream, Ding Xiang could see that this courtyard should be the home of a big landlord or rich man, or even a headman's home.

They go to that house to pay back the money, or hand over the money.

The man knocked on the courtyard door a few times, the door opened, and Ding Xiang woke up automatically.

It's half an hour.

Lilac was very happy.

Mama Li is still alive.The place where she is seems to be somewhere in Central South Province, which is the southernmost part of Dali, and it may have already crossed the border of Dali.

The Central South Province of this era is the Yunnan of the previous life, and also includes a part of Guiyang's territory.There are many ethnic minorities, people here call them Nanyi.

When Li's mother escaped, she passed a mountain with a large reclining Buddha, and she will inquire about it later.

She is having a hard time now, and her health is not good. She wonders if she can live to the day when she can be used by her.

Ding Xiang followed Zhang's example and recited the Buddha's voice, "Amitabha, I hope she is alive."

Lilac went back to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the sound of firecrackers outside the window lasted for a long time, and the laughter of Ding Zhao, Ding Liren, Ding Lilai and several male servants came in from time to time.

Ding Xiang twisted her body and fell asleep again.

The next day at Mao Shizheng, several gongs and Xia Lizheng's voice woke Ding Xiang up.

"Celebrating the 26th year of Guanguan, Dali is prosperous, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is smooth..."

The sound of the gong was still loud, and Xia Lizheng's energy was not as strong as before.

Ding Xiang opened her eyes, the candlelight outside the purple tent was still on, and the inside of the tent was dark red.Feifei was also woken up, it shrank its neck and continued to sleep.

In the 26th year of Qingguan, it was the eighth year since I left the capital, and it was also the eighth year since I left that world.

time flies.

Ding Xiang couldn't fall asleep, lying on the bed recalling the past.Maybe it's something from her previous life, she hasn't thought about it for a long time.

I don't know if the disease is under control...

At the beginning of Chen Shi, Mrs. Zhang and Ling'er came in to tidy up Ding Xiang.

I paid New Year's greetings to my grandfather and received a red envelope.I also paid New Year greetings to my parents and received red envelopes.

While eating, I heard Ding Liren and Ding Lilai discuss the matter of going to Jiaozhou.

The private school is on a long vacation, and they want to go to Jiaozhou to see the big brother and the big boat, as well as their new house.

The two children are grown up, and Ding Zhao also wants them to go out and learn more.Qin Zhen got married on the twelfth of February, and he and his father were busy with "Bao Tie", so they didn't have time to congratulate, so they just asked their two children to send the congratulations.

I left in the third year of junior high school and came back before school started. I was able to stay in Jiaozhou for nearly ten days.

Li Maigao was worried about sending them off alone, and he had already agreed with Ding Erfu that Erfu would send them there and bring them back.

Ding Erfu is not only good at martial arts, but also smart, he has also run a dart, and can deal with emergencies on the road.For this, Ding Zhao gave Dafang ten taels of silver.
