Xianggui

Chapter 33 Recording Clues
The days of lying flat are happy and hard to bear, and the spring and winter come to February of the next year, which is the 20th year of Qingguan.

Spring returns to the earth, new buds emerge from the branches, the early-blooming winter jasmine blooms on the branches, and Beifu Mountain behind the village is covered with a layer of light green.

Ding Xiang is one and a half years old, she can walk and run staggeringly, she can talk more fluently than four or five year olds, and she is also cuter.

Only Ding Xiang, who has been sober and experienced "lying flat", knows how precious it is to be able to move freely and speak.

In the eyes of the second householder of Ding's family, there is no one in the whole province who can find such a beautiful and smart girl, and it also echoes Ding Chi's saying "rare to meet in a hundred years".

They were afraid that the cloves would be stolen.When she goes out, at least one adult should take her with her, and Heizi must also accompany her.

The two little brothers want to take her out alone to show off?No way!

Although the Ding family belongs to the second richest family in Beiquan Village, there is a huge gap with the first rich Xia Yuan's family, and their lives are frugal.On the premise of ensuring enough food, the whole family can only eat meat once every two or three days.

However, Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang have a small stove every night. Sometimes they make some meatballs, and sometimes they make a bowl of pork liver soup. The two of them eat the meat, and it would be nice if the others can drink the soup.

If Ding Liren swallowed louder and looked more at the meat in the bowl, Ding Zhao would stare at him.

The family's clothes have to be worn for several years, and there are more or less patches.The clothes of the two brothers were made too big, and they were picked up again and again.Only Lilac's clothes have no patches and are made of brightly colored muslin or silk.

It can be said that Ding Xiang's welfare is much better than that of all members of this family.

Even so, the two little brothers were not unhappy with their sister.

Ding Liren wants to compete with Ding Lichun for food, but he will never compete with his sister.

Not to mention Ding Lichun, seeing his sister eating deliciously, he felt as happy as eating into his stomach.He often beats his younger brother, but he is reluctant to lift a finger from Ding Xiang.

As for Ding Chi, in a year's time, he really used 60 taels of silver to turn it into 120 taels of silver, and then used 100 taels of silver to turn it into 250 taels.

However, no one can tell what kind of business Ding Chi is doing.Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao were happy for him, but they were not at ease.

Ding Chi never had a separate family, but he grew up not in this family, and it didn't cost him much money to marry a wife.Ding Zhuang felt sorry for his son, so he didn't want to control him too much, and he didn't listen to him if he wanted to.

The little boy Ding Lilai became the young master of the landlord's family, and he became even fatter, with only a slit in his eyes squeezed by flesh.

During the Chinese New Year, Ding Chi honored Ding Zhuang two taels of silver for the first time, and generously bought Ding Xiang a big gold hairpin.

Ding Xiang guessed Ding Chi's thoughts, Ding Chi wanted to have a good relationship with himself with a very prosperous face.She thinks that buying things she can use now is a waste of money, but she doesn't know.And the golden hairpin can only be used when she grows up, then she will remember the fifth uncle's love, and will not forget them when she is rich.

It is said that Ding Chi also honored Ding Shuniang ten taels of silver.

Ding Zhuang was not angry.For the second son, he did pay less than his sister.He also guessed that even if he honored these two taels of silver, he would also be honored by the fragrance.

Ding Xiang also has some preliminary understanding of this world.

Although the countryside is poor, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, you can still eat, and there are not many people who starve to death.There are already corns, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and cucumbers from Fanwai. I heard that there are also Hu people from the Western Regions and Koreans who are doing business in the capital and provincial capitals...

From these aspects, the overall national strength of the country is not bad, and the relationship with neighboring countries is also good.

She would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times, Ding Xiang is quite satisfied after traveling to this world, which also shows that the emperor's grandfather, who is thousands of miles away, is a wise king who cares about the common people.

Today is the tenth day of February, the private school is on vacation, after breakfast Ding Lichun followed Ding Zhuang to the blacksmith shop, he has already started to learn blacksmithing.

Ding Zhuang and his son felt that he was not good at studying, so they could only follow them as a blacksmith in the future.

Ding Lichun didn't want to, his ideal was to be a general, so every morning he squatted and practiced wrestling by himself.

Ever since Ding Xiang could speak, she often said things that made Ding Lichun become a general in the martial arts examination.The young boy liked to listen to it, but the adults didn't pay much attention to it.

In their view, Ding Lichun's wish to become a general is a daydream.My family is mud-legged and has no connections. It is impossible to get promoted after serving in the barracks.As for the martial arts exam, I couldn't afford it at all, so I didn't even think about it.

Ding Zhao led Ding Liren to the town, brought a jar of wine, and bought two catties of meat and two catties of sugar in the town.Mrs. Zheng is five and a half years old, and she is going to study in a private school. Today, I will visit my husband.

Ding Zhuang and his son always thought that Ding Liren was smart, and if he did well in his studies, they would let him take the imperial examination and realize Xue's last wish.It has been 20 years since the so-called unfilial incident, and Ding Zhao is polite and kind, so it should not affect him.

They had completely given up on Ding Lichun.

But Ding Xiang doesn't think so. Although Ding Lichun is not as clever as Ding Liren, and his studies are not very good, he has a tenacious and persistent personality, a strong body, great strength, and is not afraid of death in fights. He is the king of children in Beiquan Village and is fully capable of being a general.

When the house is quiet, Mrs. Zhang is going to clean up the vegetable patch in the backyard.

She hugged Lilac inside the Kang, and instructed, "Sit here and play with the kerchief, don't get close to the edge of the Kang."

The obedient baby Lilac let out an "oh", lowered her head and played with the handkerchief in her hand.

I was secretly happy that there was finally no one around me, so I could do that thing.

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually going to the backyard, Ding Xiang climbed to the edge of the kang with all fours and slid down the kang, dragged a small square stool to the door of the east wing hall, stood up and locked the door.

Returning to the bedroom again, he took out several sheets of paper, a strip of ink, an inkstone, and a brush from the large cabinet.

The first few were used by Ding Zhao, and the brushes were bought for Ding Liren's children, they are very thin.

Ding Xiang knelt in front of the kang, poured a little water into the inkstone, and grinded it vigorously with the ink stick.Grind the ink, dip it with a pen, and start writing on the paper.

The hand is too small and inflexible, and the whole hand holds the pen.

In order to prevent being seen, Lilac wrote Pinyin.

"Princess Dongyang, Consort Xun, Brother Bo."

These three people are her closest blood relatives in this life, but they don't even know their names.

"Mrs. Xun, Third Master Xun, Third Grandma Xun, Sister Feng, Mother Li, Nanny He, He Shun, Sister Feng's nanny."

The first three are the decision makers of the subcontracting, and Sister Feng is the subcontractee.The latter four were participants in the subcontracting. I don't know if they are still alive.

"Mother Xia."

She was another wet nurse and the first witness.

"Sister Yan."

She is also a witness who can prove that Madam Li was the only one who served Xun Xiang that night and had contact with Madam He of the Xun Mansion.

"Yinfeng Street, Qingguan, August 18, [-], around noon, startled the horse."

This is the place and time to take the wrong box as startled horses cause confusion.
