Xianggui

Chapter 214
The Hong family father and son also brought a chicken and four lanterns to the Zhang family.

Two big red lanterns are hung at the door for lighting, and two little bunny lanterns are for children to play with.

As soon as Zhang Jinzhu saw it, he clamored for it.

Zhang Laozhang liked this little grandson the most and gave him one to play with.

Zhang Jinshan is already 15 years old, and his family is looking for a wife for him.

Little brother Hong was about the same age as him, and the two quickly talked together.

In the evening, a table of good food was prepared, and a few men accompanied the Hong family and his son to drink.The three brothers and sisters of Ding Xiang were distinguished guests, and they also went to the main table.

Today's Zhang family is relatively rich, unlike before, the delicious food is only served to guests and elders, and other people look at it dryly.

The three brothers and sisters lived in Zhang's house with peace of mind.

Hong Da was fine, so he took Zhang Jinshan up the mountain to hunt.They were lucky. They shot a roe deer on the first day, a wild goat on the second day, and caught a wild boar in the trap set on the third day...

The father and son gave all the wild animals to the Zhang family. The Zhang family was very happy and enthusiastically allowed them to stay for a few more days.

There were so many wild animals that he couldn't finish eating, so he left some meat, and Zhang Dabao took most of it to sell outside the mountains.

Mrs. Liu told Brother Hong about the unmarried girls in Liuwa Village and Liujian Village one by one.Although Brother Hong is lame, he is good-looking and has the skill of making lanterns. Many girls who want to go out of the mountain are still willing.

But brother Hong had high eyesight, so he didn't pay attention.

The Zhang family never thought of telling Zhang Qian to Brother Hong.One is that Brother Hong is lame and Zhang Qian can find someone better.One is that he knows that Brother Hong likes beautiful girls and Zhang Qian is average-looking.

Ding Liren works hard every day with the door closed, while Ding Xiang and Ding Lilai follow Zhang Qian to play around by the river in the village.Feifei was flying in the sky, and Brother Hong followed from afar.

People in the village knew that Feifei was the pet of Zhang's granddaughter, so they were too jealous to pay attention.Now the Zhang family's villages in the mountains are the richest, and the son-in-law is the big shopkeeper outside the mountains, so they dare not provoke them.

Hong Da went back to Beiquan Village once on the seventh day of the lunar new year, saying that those people came the day before yesterday.

Not only senior officials from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also senior officials from the provincial capital, prefectural capital, and the army, as well as several officials from the county magistrate and the county government all went.

Ding Zhao really became an official, and was appointed as the deputy head of the Yu Heng Department of the Ministry of Industry, from Qipin.

When the court needs him, he must obey the dispatch and go to the Yuheng Division in the capital and the arms manufacturing bureaus in various places.When he has nothing to do, he manages his own business.

I heard that Ding Zhao directly became an official of the Yuheng Division of the Ministry of Industry, even if it was a false title, it was beyond the surprise of Ding Xiang and everyone else.I thought it would be good for him to be a small official in the Jiaodong Arms Manufacturing Bureau, but it can be seen how satisfied and valued the court is with this fine iron.

The imperial court asked for this secret recipe and gave it to this small official, so that Ding Zhao could receive his salary in the future.

This kind of secret recipe is closely related to the rise and fall of the imperial court, so I dare not give it.If you don't, the emperor will label you a traitor and kill your whole family, and the secret recipe is still his.

The weapons manufacturing of the Dali Dynasty was mainly managed by two departments.One is the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of the Military Weapons Bureau in the capital.For convenience, there are also arms manufacturing bureaus in several state capitals.One is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of the Staff Bureau.

After the appointment of this official, Ding Zhao will definitely go to the capital to try out weapons with people from the Weapons Bureau and the Weapons Bureau.

Ding Xiang thinks more about it. Daddy's occasional visit to the capital will also help in investigating that matter.Dad looks loyal, but actually he is very cunning.

Zhang Laozhang wept excitedly when he heard that his son-in-law had become a seventh-rank official.He never dreamed that his son-in-law could be an official, or a Beijing official.

"Blessed is Zhi Niang, she has become an official wife."

Liu said with a smile, "Father is also blessed. He has a son-in-law who is an official. You can wait to enjoy the blessing when you grow old."

Zhang Dabao suggested, "This is a great event, our family has to invite a few tables."

Hong Da laughed and said, "Those people will stay in Gu'an Town for a few days. After they leave, the villagers of Beiquan Village and the Ding family will treat them."

It means that if you want to treat a guest, you have to wait until they leave.

Zhang Laozhang also felt that he should wait for the high officials to leave before inviting them.

Although Ding Xiang didn't see that scene, she could imagine how excited the people of Beiquan Village and the Ding Family would be.For the first time in so many years, Beiquan Village and the Ding family had a court official.

Tao Weng's household registration is not Beiquan Village, so it doesn't count.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ding Lilai wanted to catch fish in the Baishui River again.Zhang Jinshan took Ding Lilai, Ding Xiang, Ling'er, Brother Hong, Zhang Hui, and Zhang Jinzhu to the back of the village.

Brother Hong also knew about Ding Xiang's distress at sea, and every time he came to the river, he would whisper to her not to go near the river.

Even though Lilac knew that there would be no whales or sharks in the river, she did not dare to get too close to the river.

She was frightened and a little dizzy.

She hugged Feifei and sat under a tree two or three feet away from the river bank, while little brother Hong sat not far from her.

Only Zhang Jinshan went down the river with his trouser legs in his arms, while the others watched by the river.

The blue sky is far away, the wind is sunny, and the river flows from top to bottom.

Being so far away from the river gave Lilac the sense of security that there was solid ground beneath her.

Sitting here, you can faintly see Huangshi Mountain and the small courtyard with mud walls and thatched roofs on the mountain in the distance.

Feifei looked at Jitoufeng and cried "cuckoo", especially wanting to invite the little master to its house as a guest.

Ding Xiang wanted to go even more.There is spiritual energy there, and there is more than one Ganoderma lucidum growing there, and maybe more than one ginseng root.

But she is nearly fifty catties now, and if she brings something back, it will definitely exceed fifty catties, so Feifei can't carry it that far.

Even if she loses weight and Feifei can hold it in her mouth, she won't dare to start from here for fear of being discovered.

Unless there is the cooperation of grandpa and dad, the starting point is Huangshishan.

Now Dingxiang can only hope that Feifei can take Lingzhi and Honey Zhixiang home.

Ding Xiang turned her back to Brother Hong, pointed a small finger there and whispered, "Chicken Head Peak, Chicken Head Peak..."

For so many days here, as long as there is no one around, she will point there and repeat these words to the little thing.

The concept of these three characters must be strengthened for it.

I was not very lucky today, I didn't catch a big fish, but I caught half a basket of small freshwater shrimps in a fishing basket.

Zhang Jinshan smiled at Brother Hong, "My second aunt is the best at making drunken shrimp, let her make it for you today."

Then he said to Ding Xiang and Ding Li, "You are delicate, my grandfather will not let you eat that."

Ding Lilai said hurriedly, "My sister is delicate, I am not delicate at all." Seeing Ding Xiang looking at her unhappy, he added, "Sister, don't eat that kind of shrimp, I will beat us if I find out."

After several people went home, Liu cleaned the shrimp several times and then kept them in the water to spit sand.I also prepared rice wine and white wine, minced green onion, ginger and garlic, chili, coriander, vinegar and other seasonings.

Ding Xiang had eaten drunk shrimp several times in her previous life and liked it very much.

The environment in this world is not polluted, and the Baishui River flows down from a high mountain. There is no human habitation in the upper reaches, so the fish and shrimps raised must be clean.

In the evening, a small half pot of drunken shrimp is served on the big table, and a bowl is served on the small table.

　Thank you Menghui Moganshan for your reward, and thank you for all your support.
