Xianggui

Chapter 45
Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Ding Shuniang talked to Ding Chi for more than half an hour, but Ding Chi didn't listen.

Tang also rolled her eyes and was unhappy, feeling that these people really underestimated her husband and herself.They are not satisfied that they can prosper themselves and their husbands can make money.

Ding Zhuang was so angry that he wanted to slap his hands, but Ding Shuniang stopped him.

"The child is young, persuade slowly."

Ding Shuniang brought Ding Chi up since he was a child, and felt that he was not as pitiful as his mother, so she couldn't bear to touch him.

Ding Zhuang and the others got up to say goodbye.

When he came outside the courtyard, Ding Xiang ran over and said, "Grandpa, auntie, third brother is smart and can count to fifteen."

Everyone didn't believe it.

So far, Lilac can count from one to one hundred.This is not surprising to everyone, she is a genius who can speak at eight months.But Ding Lilai is as stupid as his mother, how could he learn to count so many numbers in such a short period of time.

Ding Lilai counted them, "One, two, three..."

On the count of fifteen, Ding Chi hugged him excitedly, "Oh, my son is capable, as smart and handsome as your father."

Ding Xiang secretly thought, before she told Ding Li that he had counted fifteen flowers, she knew that after removing eleven red flowers, there were still four white flowers left.

Today, the child breaks through the word "nine", and he can automatically do subtraction within fifteen.

Tang was very proud, rolled his eyelids and said, "Everyone says I am stupid, why am I stupid? Where am I stupid? I am smart. Son, as soon as they leave, let's go to your grandparents' house and tell them the good news. Eat at his house for a few days to save your father's rations."

"Okay, I want to eat pork knuckle, crispy grilled chicken, Sixi meatballs."

Ding Chi smiled awkwardly.

Ding Zhuang shook his head, picked up Ding Xiang and strode out.

After bidding farewell to Ding Shuniang and the three, Ding Zhao asked, "Father, do you think you can listen to advice? I'm afraid that the more money he earns, the more courageous he will become. One bad thing will ruin the whole family."

Ding Zhuang said, "When did that rebellious boy become obedient? Look at the cowhide he has earned, I wish I could beat him to death with the soles of his shoes. It's time to persuade him, he wants to go all the way to the dark, and I can't do anything about it. Alas, I have pity on my third grandson, how come he has such a pair of parents."

If the eldest son dared to be disobedient, Ding Zhuang could beat him half to death, and then lock him in the house and not allow him to go out.But the second son, he didn't take care of him for a day, Ding Zhuang felt that he couldn't control it, and he didn't know how to listen.

Moreover, Ding Chi has always made the third grandson have goodwill towards Xiangxiang, which Ding Zhuang is still very satisfied with.

He said uncertainly, "Chizi said that Xiangxiang has great fortune and can prosper his family. This is definitely true. Tang's facial features may really help him make a fortune."

Ding Zhao said, "Even if the Tang family is really prosperous, the prosperous is not necessarily the widow. If she changes her husband, someone else will get rich. You still have to be capable and reliable, and don't look too high but be inferior."

Ding Zhuang nodded, "So, that bastard must not be allowed to divorce his wife."

Ding Zhao was speechless, he didn't mean that, okay?

Ding Xiang put it more clearly, "Master, if Uncle Fifth is gone, Aunt Fifth won't be able to keep her."

Ding Zhuang said uncertainly, "Xiangxiangwang's family, your fifth uncle won't be gone, right?"

Ding Lichun said, "If my sister wants to be prosperous, she will also be prosperous in our family, and may not be as prosperous as my fifth uncle."

Ding Liren said again, "Also, my sister wants to grow up in the Wang family. She can't do anything now."

Ding Zhao's face darkened, and he said solemnly to the three brothers and sisters, "Whether your fifth uncle is right or not, what you have to do is to take care of yourself. Only by working hard and diligently can you live a good life. You must also be cautious and listen to people's advice. Like Uncle Wu. Especially Lichun Liren, my sister still needs to rely on you to support her, and rely on you to save her dowry, why do you want to rely on my sister to live a good life."

The two brothers blushed.

Ding Liren hurriedly expressed his opinion, "I will study hard and take the Jinshi exam to support my sister."

Ding Lichun said again, "I want to be a general... no, I want to work hard to earn money, and I also have to practice martial arts diligently, save my sister's dowry, and beat those who want to bully my sister."

After speaking, he stretched out a big fist that was bigger than his peers.

Ding Zhuang had to admit that the elder son's words were more reliable than the second son's.

Lilac looked at the sky, the sky was blue, the sun was setting, and a few tired birds returning to their nests passed by from time to time.

She will definitely prosper this family and let them live a good life.

Now she has several plans, and she will gradually implement them when she grows up.

She is willing to be a smart genius, but she must not be an abnormal monster.

The weather is getting warmer and it's time to enter April.

A great happy event happened in the Ding family.More precisely, it was a great happy event in Ding Chi's family, and Ding Chi made an unexpected fortune.

At the beginning of the month, Ding Chi was tricked into using all his savings of 210 taels of silver to buy a shipment of seafood at a low price, thinking that he could sell it to a businessman from the capital at a high price.Unexpectedly, the price was suppressed severely, and the temperature gradually rose again. He lost 100 taels of silver before selling the goods.

Before Ding Chi left, the businessman picked up a strangely shaped large conch and threw it to him, "What kind of stuff, the stinky stuff is still sold."

Because of this conch, Ding Chi refunded another five hundred Wen to the businessman.

Ding Chi was dejected and doubted himself for the first time.Could it be that Master is really not that powerful, I really don't have the talent to read astrology, and the Tang family is not prosperous at all?

He went home and asked Tang, "Before I took the silver out, did you rub your Yintang, Jinwowo and Yinwowo with lard?"

Tang denied, "Ever since Brother Chi talked about me last time, I haven't rubbed lard again."

Ding Chi called Sister-in-law Ji and threw the conch to her, "Wash it clean and steam it to eat."

Tang said with disgust, "Such an ugly conch has a bad smell. Don't eat it, just throw it away."

Thinking of the more than 100 taels of silver that he lost, Ding Chi's heart was bleeding.He was reluctant to throw it away, thinking of breaking open the shell, and if the meat inside was okay, he could add more seasoning, slice it and fry it.

He went out to find an ax to break open the conch, and the stench became stronger.He threw the conch meat to Mrs. Ji in disgust, "Take it and throw it away."

Tang came out and looked at the lump of meat, and said in surprise, "Hey, what's inside the meat, it's still glowing."

Ding Chi snatched the meat and saw that there was a pale pink bead in the meat.

He heard that there are very few conch pearls overseas, and conch pearls are extremely precious, and Malay and Temasek countries even paid tribute to the emperor.

Although this bead is smaller than soybeans and not very round, it has a nice color and is pink and tender, which is obviously different from the south bead and east bead.

Is this the legendary conch pearl?
Ding Chi was so happy that his heart stopped suddenly, he kissed Tang several times, and then ran to the inn where the businessman lived with the beads, the smashed conch shell and the smelly conch meat.

The businessman was pleasantly surprised when he saw it. It was indeed a conch pearl.

There are very few conch pearls, and this is the first time that they have appeared in Dali Realm.
