Xianggui

Chapter 232 The Xue Family

While Mr. Su was talking to Mi Hongmian, Ding Zhuang picked up Ding Xiang and left.

Ding Zhuang is tall, and Ding Xiang can still see Third Master Su kicking the servant when he walks away.

He was wearing a white jacket with arrow sleeves, a scarlet embroidered gold thread tunic, a crown of eight treasures and pearls on his head, a ring of shiny ornaments on his jade belt, and a big folding fan in his hand.

She is very well-dressed and handsome, but her eyes are irritatingly narrow-eyed.

A typical dude, seeing a beautiful girl is like pestering her.

His last name is Su...can't be such a coincidence, right?
Dingxiang came down from the fuss and continued eating and buying.

About two-quarters of an hour later, the crowd suddenly became noisy, saying that a stall in the south was leaking water.

Ding Zhuang was so frightened that he quickly hugged Lilac, and they followed the crowd to the outside of the night market.

Two big men crowded to the side, pushing and shoving Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang.

"Push or push?"

"You're squeezing me."

When people look at the big, dark, strong, stupid guy, they hold back the curse words.

It's in the north, not too chaotic, and we walked out of the night market in a short time.

They came in from the South City and went out from the North City, agreeing that Uncle Zhang's carriage would be waiting in the north.

Got on the carriage and drove home.

Dingxiang thought of Mi Hongmian going south and became worried for him.

Not long after returning home, Qin Hai also came back and said that Zhu Zhan had something to do and would come back later.

Ding Xiang thought of the fire in Nanshi. Qin Hai had been busy all day today, so he didn't know if it had anything to do with them.

Ding Xiang looked at Qin Hai without blinking.

Qin Hai's eyes flickered, and he laughed, "Little elf, can't you be confused? The young man who talked to Miss Mi in the night market is Su Tu's grandson, named Su Yi. He also came to listen to Master Mingjue's lecture on Zen. Yesterday, I went to the master’s meditation room and stayed for half an hour.

"He is a student of the Imperial College, and is very favored by Mrs. Su and Concubine Su. Fortunately, his attention has been on Miss Mi and he did not notice Xiangxiang."

He didn't say it clearly, but Ding Xiang was certain that the fire was arranged by Qin Hai and Zhu Zhan for Su Yanei.Probably not to assassinate him, but to "happen" to get to know him...

Miss Mi went to Nanshi, so don't let anything happen. .

Ding Xiang thought again that the beauty was in danger, and wondered if Zhu Zhan would stage a drama of a hero saving the beauty...

After returning to the house, Ding Xiang quickly drew Su Yi's appearance.If you dream about him in the future, you may have unexpected gains.She had always regretted not being able to see the Su family, but she would do so tonight.

Want Want Want...

In the middle of the night, the hanging flower door rang, and Qin Hai walked out.

He said a few words to the people outside the door and then walked back.

Ding Xiang quickly opened the small window and said worriedly, "Where's Brother Zhu, why didn't he come back?"

Zhu Zhan didn't come back and she couldn't sleep well.

Qin Hai smiled, his big white teeth extremely conspicuous in the moonlight.

He came to the small window and said softly, "Don't worry, Xiangxiang, Mr. Zhu is very good. God is helping us this time. Not only did he save Su Yi, he also helped Miss Mi."

He felt quite emotional in his heart that his young master had one more person to care about.

Lilac laughed."Saving" two people at the same time must have happened when Su Yi was entangled with Miss Mi.As far as Zhu Zhan was concerned, Su Yi would be played to death by him.

Lilac slept peacefully.

At the beginning of April [-]th, Zhu Zhan still had not returned.After saying goodbye to Qin Hai, Aunt Chai and others, Ding Xiang, Ding Zhuang and Ling'er took a carriage to Henghe County.

We stayed one night at the inn and boarded the boat back to Linshui County early the next morning.

This time, Qin Hai asked someone to buy a ticket for a three-decker luxury ship.

The big ship is much newer and bigger, with carved doors and windows, and a circle of red lanterns hung on each deck.

The Ding family could also afford such a ticket, but Ding Zhuang was used to saving and felt it was unnecessary.

Their cabin was on the second floor. The cabin was slightly larger than the one when they arrived, and the furnishings in the cabin were much newer.

This time Ding Xiang is not as honest as when she came here. When she gets tired from sitting, she will take Ling'er for a walk on the deck.However, there is still a certain distance from the ship's side.

Every time she went out, she would meet an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Later, she discovered that she and the girl were separated by three cabins.

This afternoon, the two met again on the deck and smiled at each other.

The little girl said first, "My surname is Xue. I live in Shizhou Prefecture. I am 11 years old this year."

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "Sister Xue. My surname is Ding. I live in Linshui County. I am eight years old this year."

"Oh, Sister Ding."

The two became acquainted, and gradually talked more and more.

The little girl is fair-skinned and beautiful, and loves to laugh. Her laughter is clear and pleasant.

She is well dressed, with a white silk top, a pleated skirt of the same color, and a blue Song brocade half arm with rich and noble cloud patterns.She wears a hanging bun with two small palace flowers on one side and a beaded hairpin on the other.The gold and jade colored bracelet on the wrist is produced by Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion and sells for 220 taels.

When going out, Lilac wears a relatively low-key dress, a pink semi-old silk skirt.

That little girl didn't judge people by their appearance, Lilac was very fond of her.

At noon on the third day, Ding Xiang knew that the little girl's name was Xue Tian, ​​and her father was a general judge in Shizhou Mansion. She lived with her parents and brother in Shizhou Mansion.At the end of April, her grandfather celebrated his birthday. Her father and brother were busy with official duties and studies, so she and her mother returned to Jeju City to celebrate his birthday.

The two played on the deck until the sun set in the west. When they separated, they exchanged handkerchiefs and agreed to go out to play again tomorrow.

Back in the cabin, Ding Xiang took out the handkerchief and showed it to Ding Zhuang.The silk handkerchief is light pink, with several poles of green bamboo and a swallow embroidered on it.Good embroidery work and good layout.

She said, "Sister Xue said this was embroidered by her own hands, and she was very clever at first sight. Her father worked as a magistrate in Seokju Prefecture, and her grandfather celebrated his 58th birthday. She and her mother went to Jeju Prefecture to celebrate his birthday. I gave her the handkerchief. I also embroidered it with my own hands, it was Hanmei Aoxue..."

Ding Zhuang straightened up all of a sudden, and said to Ling'er, "Would you like to go and see the dinner?"

The boatman also sells food, which is expensive and not very delicious.Unless they are particularly hungry, boat passengers will wait until dark to dock and go to a restaurant to eat.

After Ling'er left, Ding Zhuang lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Xue is a general judge in Shizhou Mansion. Mr. Xue lives in Jeju Mansion. That little girl is a descendant of the Xue family. Don't go out tomorrow. You can't interact with the Xue family now." .”

Even though I know that the Xue family is the benefactor of the Ding family, I can't associate with them now.If the Xue family knew that Ding Xiang was Xue An's granddaughter, they would not dare to let Xue Tian associate with her.

Lilac's eyes were bulging, the world is really small sometimes.

I met the Xue family by chance.

She agreed, "Okay."

The current Mr. Xue is the eldest son of Xue Pingfu, and he is also the Xue Dahu in Ding Chi's mouth. Ding Xiang has heard of this name since he was a baby.

Ding Chi shamelessly went to him to borrow money twice, but Xue Dahu ignored him.

Xue Dahu's second son won the imperial examination, but failed to win the imperial examination.But the Xue family was rich, and through connections, he first became the county magistrate, and then gradually became the general judge he is today.

In ancient times, no matter how rich a merchant was, his status was not high. Mr. Xue's becoming an official changed the Xue family's status from a merchant to an official.

　Thank you Melanie Ai Qingquan for the reward, and thank you dear friends for all your support.
