Xianggui

Chapter 251 hint
The big pot also contains green aquatic plants, red corals, beautiful small stones, and small shellfish of different colors and shapes.

It is as colorful as the underwater world.

It would be great if there was a glass fish tank.

In order to raise this fairy snail, I frequently change the sea water, feed it in different ways, and keep it warm or cold.If the weather is too hot, place ice cubes around it; if it is too cold, place a brazier around it.

It costs at least a hundred taels of silver every year.

"Cuckoo."

Feifei spread his wings and ran over, extending his beak to poke at the fairy snail.

Lilac was startled, grabbed its little head and said, "This is the little fairy raised by my sister. You are the golden boys and girls. You are all my sister's little treasures. You are not allowed to eat it."

Ding Xiang has already thought that when she goes to the capital in the future, she will take the little fairy to her home there.The capital is only more than 300 miles away from Jingu Prefecture, where there is a sea. It can be reached in one day by a fast horse or two days by a carriage or mule cart. It is convenient to get sea water.

Afraid of Feifei hurting the little fairy, Dingxiang popped its little head towards her again, "You can't eat it, we have to be friends."

When the fairy snail finished the fish, Ding Xiang picked it up with both hands and patted it on Feifei's wings.

Meaning, you shake hands and become good friends from then on.

Dingxiang was still afraid of Feifei's mischief, so she asked Aunt Wei and Aunt He to feed it well every day.If no one is looking at it, it is not allowed to stay next to the little fairy.

The little thing has spirituality. Once it gets along with the little fairy for a long time and establishes a friendship, it won't always want to eat it.

The next day Ding Xiang slept until she woke up naturally, it was already the end of Chen hour.

Aunt Wei said that the eldest young master and young master Sun had gone to the army, and the second young master and the third young master followed them.They will live on the boat today and go home tomorrow.

When Aunt Wei first went to Ding's house, she suggested that her sister should not sleep in every day and should get up at the beginning of the morning.

But Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao both said it was time to sleep. Only when you sleep well can you grow well.

Aunt Wei has no idea.I also thought that my sister was obedient except for her bad habit of sleeping in, so I didn't care about her sleeping in.

Lilac's speech and behavior are good, but there are a few minor problems.For example, I like to open my mouth wide when I laugh, but I don’t know how to cover it with a handkerchief.She walks too fast, likes to roll all over the bed when she sleeps, and even lets Feifei sleep with her...

Except for Feifei, who had to sleep with her, Dingxiang listened to Aunt Wei.If I have to deal with noble ladies in the future, my behavior should indeed conform to the norms of noble ladies of this era.

Aunt Wei's attitude towards Ding Xiang was very kind, "Sister, you should do this... Well, by the way, my sister is so smart..."

She didn't have such a good attitude towards little girl Ding Zhen. She was like a serious-minded nanny, and she made Ding Zhen cry several times.

It's not that she's flattering others but that Ding Zhen has too many shortcomings and wants to correct them as soon as possible.She also knew what Mr. Qin was thinking, and hoped that the Qin family would find a desirable wife.

After Aunt Wei washed Ding Xiang, she went to the outer courtyard to get breakfast.

Lilac teased the little fairy a few times and then went around the small courtyard.

This place is no longer as green and full of flowers as it was last time. It is covered with white snow and covered with silver.A few colorful lanterns were hung under the eaves and among the branches, which gave a hint of joy.

Fortunately, the courtyard is not big, otherwise it would be even more empty and deserted.

Feifei stood on a branch and looked at this strange environment.

It was very unhappy and didn't like it here.I was really bored and wanted to tease the little fairy, but Aunt Wei kicked me out.

Ding Xiang finished breakfast, said goodbye to Ding Zhuang and others, and went to Zhu's Mansion with Feifei and half a car of gifts.

Ding Zhuang will go to the Sun Mansion and the Lu Mansion to deliver gifts, and then visit the Ironware Trading Company.

Zhang went to the Qin Mansion to deliver gifts.Qin Hai is not at home, but Qin Zhen and his daughter-in-law Jia are.Most of the gifts given to the Zhu family include pickled meat, pickled ribs, pickled courgettes, two jars of sweet wine, and home-made snacks. These are country game foods that Zhu Qian and his wife like to eat.

There are also clothes for Zhu Qian and a pair of shoes for Mrs. Zhu. Lilac made two pairs of beautiful socks for each of them with her own hands and embroidered flowers.

In the upper room of Zhu's residence, a fire of earth dragon was burning in the room, which was as warm as spring.

Mrs. Zhu is looking forward to it.

Seeing Ding Xiang coming, she narrowed her eyes with a smile.He personally took off the cotton cloak and large cotton-padded jacket outside the lilac, and put on a pure willow-colored soft satin coat and a long waistcoat embroidered with chrysanthemums in water red.

"I made this with my own hands. If you don't come, someone will send it to you."

He held her face and took a closer look, then nodded with satisfaction.

Her son was not around for a long time, and her husband often didn't come home at night. She felt uncomfortable staying there, so she passed the time doing needlework.

The two of them first sat on the kang and talked together. When the sun was getting better, they went for a walk on the corridor hand in hand.Mrs. Zhu's motherly love was even more overwhelming than Mrs. Zhang's, so she couldn't bear to let go of Ding Xiang's hand.

For fear of scaring her, Ding Xiang didn't say anything about meeting bandits on the road, and Zhu Qian wouldn't tell her either.

Mrs. Zhu knew that Feifei was coming, so she had people prepare sea fish to feed it.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhu sent someone to invite Ding Zhuang and Mr. Zhang to the Zhu Mansion for dinner.

The man came back and said that Mr. Ding and Mrs. Ding had been invited to the Qin Mansion for dinner by Grandma Qin, and they would come back another day.He also said that I would let my sister accompany Mrs. Zhu to relieve her boredom in the evening, so there is no need to go home.

Mrs. Zhu had no intention of letting Ding Xiang go home.

When Zhu Qian came back in the evening, he saw his wife beaming with joy and jokingly said, "As soon as the fragrance comes, my wife's face will glow."

This made Mrs. Zhu very happy.

Mrs. Zhu personally helped Zhu Qian change into home clothes, and the three of them ate at the same table.

They were like a family, talking softly while eating.

This atmosphere is very different from that of the Ding family.

The Ding family wolfed down their food, making noises.If the older brothers did something to be scolded, my grandfather and father would curse at them loudly and sometimes even beat them, making it as lively as a market.

Lilac is used to both atmospheres.

After the meal, the three of them sat on the kang in the east side of the room and chatted. Feifei lay in Ding Xiang's arms, half asleep.

There were no outsiders, and Ding Xiang talked about the strange dream that her father had.

Zhu Qian's face darkened after he heard Qin Lei talk about Ding Zhao's dream and someone snatching lilacs on the road.

Ding Xiang said again, "It was only after my father dreamed that Aunt Jin wanted to drain my blood that I realized that they were robbing me not for me as a person, but for my blood. There are plenty of pretty girls, and it's not easy to robbing me, so why are they robbing me?" Always staring at me.

"Aunt Jin has killed so many girls. Could it be that our birthdays and ages meet certain conditions and someone wants to drink our blood or use our blood to make medicine?

"I have read in the history books of the Tao Weng family that a princess of the Dafeng Dynasty took things from a boy to make medicine in order to stay young forever, and was executed by the emperor Lingchi. My birthday is July [-]th, Aunt Jin The abducted girls were between three and eight years old.

"I'm so scared. I can't sleep well at night because I'm afraid someone will suddenly come and snatch me away."

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Qian with his big, ignorant and pitiful eyes.

So far.
