Xianggui

Dingshan has been running outside for many years, knows the tricks of doing business, and is very lively.There are many wealthy people in the capital area and the transportation is developed.With Ding Zhao's help, shopkeeper Gong also knows some businessmen in the capital who can make a lot of money if they do well.

Dingshan is doing it in the capital.

I bought two women in Linshui County, learned how to seduce things from Zhang, and then sent them to the capital to teach the female workers there.

The Zhang family was responsible for the cotton spinning business in Jiaodong and Huizhou.

The Zhang family also has an advantage, that is, the women in the family are good at spinning.Let them delve deeper into how to spin thick cotton thread with better quality...

No matter what kind of business they can't finish at home, whoever has the ability to do it in other places can do it. The two of them just want to seize the opportunity.

As Ding Xiang explained, Ding Shan's joy blossomed and he saw the bright future of this industry.

"Grandpa Third, thank you Xiangxiang. I made a lot of money and gave Xiangxiang a big red envelope." He looked at Ding Zhuang again and said, "Second brother, I have some money in my hand, so I still need to borrow some more."

Ding Zhuang said, "Don't worry about money. You can borrow as much as you need from Zhaozi."

On February 26, Ding Zhao and Ding Shan were sent away, and Ding Erfu was sent away the next day.

After they left, groups of Ding clan members came to ask for Ding Zhuang.

Ever since Ding Zhuang and his son became successful, many relatives came to ask for help, but the number was not as large as this time.

In addition to Ding Zhuang and his son who were close to each other in Beiquan Village, they also helped two close relatives in Nanquan Village.Other tribesmen, if they can help a little, they will help.

For example, if the family is really in trouble, they will give you one to five taels of silver.If you are a diligent young man and want to work in "Bao Iron", there is no problem.If you want to be a steward or something, it depends on your ability...

Anything that exceeds the requirements will be ignored.

For example, some people asked to borrow 200 taels of silver, while others wanted to get their sons and grandsons to work as shopkeepers at "Baotie" and "Zhixiu Pavilion".

He said it with great force, "You can't write two Dings in one stroke, we are the only family."

Of course Ding Zhuang doesn't accept that.We hadn’t seen each other for a few years, but now he showed up and dared to make such a request.

"Can you still afford 200 taels of silver? Isn't this a robbery? It's a robbery of my red nose."

"My shopkeepers are all my servants. Are they my family or yours? The workshop and shop belong to Zhaozi, and he has been with you for five years. I heard that there is a high-ranking official in the provincial capital named Ding who has been with you for 500 years. We are one family before, so it is better to ask Zhaozi than to ask him."

……

The clan members were angry and ashamed, and they only dared to curse in private, but did not dare to quarrel in person.

You can deny shameless tribesmen, but you cannot deny your clan.

Ding Zhuang used the money to renovate the Ding family's ancestral hall and ancestral tombs, and promised to give the clan leader 20 taels of silver every year for important events in the clan and for the relief of the clan members.He also stated that if the children or grandchildren of any family members passed the county examination, he would reward him with ten taels of silver, and also provide money for the children to take scientific examinations in the prefecture, provincial capital, or capital.

Ding Xiang gave her grandfather and father a thumbs up in her heart. Those tribesmen who wanted to take advantage should be slapped in the face like this.

This matter took several days to stop.

On this day, Ding Xiang took Feifei, Heizi, and Ling'er to Tao Zhai for class.

I met a tall and thin young man on the road. He stood still and looked at Ding Xiang with a resentful expression.

It is Xia Wenguan.

This kind of look shows that his obsession has not been lost yet.

It also shows that Xia Jinzhong's plan to harm the Ding family was not mentioned to his family. Otherwise, they would always be suspicious of Xia Zhong's death.

Ding Xiang hasn't seen Xia Wenguan for more than half a year.

He is thinner and taller. He is wearing plain clothes and looks a bit like a jade tree facing the wind.

Facing this child, Ding Xiang's mood was complicated.Although this child is a bit annoying, he is not bad at heart and studies hard.But there were too many grievances between the two parents. Her great-grandfather interrupted her father's path to the imperial examination. His father had the intention of harming her, and the person who protected her "kicked" his father again...

Ding Xiang didn't look at him and walked away.

Xia Wenguan spoke.

"Dingxiang, I know what I was doing was a daydream, and I don't dare to think about it now. However, I still want to tell you that I can be a boy and a scholar, and our family will not collapse. In Beiquan Village, besides Your family and our family will be ranked second and will not be suppressed by others."

Ding Xiang stopped, turned around and said, "I hope your wishes will come true."

Xia Wen nodded solemnly, "Yes. I also hope that your wishes will come true and that you will hold the hand of a good man with a smile in the future."

Ding Xiang twitched the corner of her mouth, this child is too precocious.Still said, "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Tao's house.

Xia Wenguan was extremely disappointed. He especially hoped that Ding Xiang would say to him, "You are not dreaming. I am interested in you and I am waiting for you to become a scholar."

She really didn't mean anything to her, not even a kind word.

He stared blankly at the figure he had thought about for several years, reluctant to look away.

A loud voice woke him from his reverie.

"Xiangxiang."

He walked towards this side and glared at him unkindly.

Xia Wenguan left quickly.

Mrs. He was carrying a large basin of clothes and had just returned from washing them in the stream.There was a long scratch on his black face, his clothes were patched but clean, and his hair was neatly combed.

Ding Xiang liked this woman very much, stood down and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law."

Mr. He came closer and said, "Xiangxiang, come to my sister-in-law's house anytime. I will cook sweet soup for you."

Ding Xiang didn't want to go to her house to drink sweet soup, but she still smiled and said, "Okay."

He glanced at Ding Xiang's feet again and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law knows Xiang Xiang's size. I will take the time to make you a pair of shoes."

Ding Xiang said hurriedly, "Don't bother sister-in-law, I have a lot of shoes."

He smiled and said, "What you have is yours, and what my sister-in-law gave me was a gift from my sister-in-law. My second grandfather and second uncle helped us a lot. My two uncles have a good future thanks to them. My sister-in-law is poor and stupid. I can only express my feelings."

After she left, Ling'er smiled and said, "The wealthy sister-in-law is actually a smart person."

Ding Xiang nodded.

The way Xia Wenguan looked at Ding Xiang was also seen by Brother Hong in the distance.

Brother Hong's face was as dark as water, and his fists were clenched.

One night five days later, Dingxiang and the others had just finished eating and were playing with Feifei in the yard when Wang came.

Mrs. Zhang also liked this lively and diligent little daughter-in-law and invited her to the east courtyard.

The scar on her face became lighter, and there was another bruise at the corner of her left eye.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "Was it Wang who beat him or Dafu? It doesn't look like that. Mr. Hao was forced to kill people in that family, and they didn't learn their lesson. They fight every day without fear of retribution."

There was a hint of sadness in He's eyes, "Although my head of the house doesn't like to talk, she has never made a move against me. She is my good mother-in-law, and she is never satisfied no matter what I do.

"I get up before dawn every day to cook, and I clean the yard while they are eating. After dinner, I am busy in the fields, and I also have to find time to do laundry, feed the pigs, and do needlework. But she still finds excuses to beat and scold me..." (End of chapter)
