Xianggui

Xunxiang asked, "What's wrong with Han'er? Is it bad because it's our ancestor?"

Qiu Yuhan shook his head and said, "My ancestors are fine, but dad, he was injured in a fall..."

As he spoke, he started crying again.

She was so scared that she didn't know who to complain to except her cousin.

Mother Shi explained, "Yesterday the Crown Prince sent someone back to say that he encountered an avalanche and fell off a cliff on the road and was injured. He didn't take it seriously at first, rested at the post station for two days and continued walking. Unexpectedly, his condition worsened after arriving in Huizhou. He wanted to I’m staying here to recuperate and can’t go home on time.”

Xunxiang's heart lifted again. Don't let that unfortunate guy get tetanus. There is no good medicine in this era. That person has his own "evil spirit", don't let him "evil" himself...

Qiu Yuhan pursed her lips and asked, "Will my father die?"

Xunxiang comforted, "No."

Ding Zhao was also startled and asked, "My father was with Mr. Qiu. Is there anything wrong with him?"

Mother Shi said, "The person who came back to report specifically said that Uncle Ding is fine and has separated from my eldest son and gone to Jiaodong."

Xunxiang coaxed the little girl with gentle words and left her to have lunch.

After the meal, the little girl still lingered on, so Xunxiang took her and Ding Zhen to Zixuan to rest.

Golden sunlight filled the courtyard, and several red plum trees were in full bloom. If you look carefully, the tops of the lilac tree are already showing a light green color.

The room was still as spotless as when she was there, with a faint fragrance floating around.

Ding Zhao and Zhang would come to sit here occasionally, and Zhang would personally clean up the place. When Ding Zhuang was at home, he took care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Even after living in the Princess Mansion for more than a year, Xunxiang would occasionally wake up and feel that the place where she lived was Zixuan.

She looked at Zhuxuan not far away, but unfortunately her grandfather was not there.

Miss him so much!

Miss Qiu went to take a rest on the couch, while Xunxiang and Ding Zhen sat in the west room talking quietly.

Ding Erfu's fiancée's family also lives in Hexian County and is relatively familiar with Dingshan's family.

Ding Zhen smiled and said, "I heard from the second rich brother that Miss Lu's family will dowry a house in the county, and the total dowry is six to seven hundred taels of silver. The second rich brother doesn't want to live in the dowry house, and plans to rent a courtyard. The yard has been taken care of. , two streets away from my home.

"He is usually very frugal. He said that Sister Lu's dowry is rich, and the betrothal gift should not be too shabby. He has more than two hundred taels of silver in savings, and he will spend one hundred taels on the betrothal gift..."

Xun Xiang smiled and said, "If Mrs. Wang knew that the second rich brother spent so much money on the betrothal gift, she would be heartbroken to death."

Ding Zhen smiled, her eyes curled up.

"Sister Lu is not afraid of Mrs. Wang. They don't live together. If they live together, Mrs. Wang will definitely not be able to defeat Sister Lu. Sister Lu is very good at fighting and is fierce. I heard that her brother and sister-in-law are afraid of her, and the neighbors are not afraid of her either. Dare to mess with her...

"Haha, in fact, Sister Lu is a very nice person. She loves to talk and laugh, and she has no bad intentions. She is someone who will not mess with you if you don't mess with her. I can see that Brother Erfu is very satisfied with her.

Xunxiang has already heard of Miss Lu's "prestige". Ding Erfu is not stupid. He likes her so much, which shows that Miss Lu has her own merits.

Although Ding Erfu is poor now, he is ambitious and has the support of his in-laws and relatives, so his future will be good.

When Ding Sifu and shopkeeper Gong were talking about the powder shop, Xunxiang specially observed Ding Erfu. He didn't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have, and he was really happy for his brother.

Don't worry about your brothers and sisters, this is the moral character you should have. But as the grandson of Ding Xia and Ding Li, and the son of Ding Youcai and Wang, having this kind of character is extremely valuable.

After noon, the guests left one after another.

Qiu Yuhan didn't want to leave yet, so she was forcefully carried away by Shi's mother.

In the evening, Ding Zhaodan pulled Xunxiang to a room and handed her the business deed sent by Dong Yihe. The shopkeeper was trained by Ding Zhao before, and he took over a few months ago... The business is not big, and it does foreign trade. It not only sells imported products, but also sells Dali products to foreigners. It earns about two to thirty thousand taels of silver every year.

In order to avoid any suspicion, the money will be transferred to Xun Xiang every year, and the name on the deed will be changed to her after two years.

Ding Zhao also had some guesses about Dong Yihe and his wife, and sighed, "Looking at my cousin's condition, the time is not long. Alas, it's so hard to part with such two good people."

Xunxiang said, "This day will come sooner or later. All we can do is wish them peace and joy in another land, and treat Brother Dong as family..."

Previously, Xunxiang wanted to implement the steel-frying process to make steel after the new year, turning "precious iron" into "changeable steel." But these are troubled times, so we have to push it back.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhang still came to Zixuan to accompany Xunxiang.

Xunxiang was filled with emotion. When she was a child, she wanted to sleep in a separate bed with Mrs. Zhang and Ding Zhao every day. Now she especially likes this woman to accompany her and talk to her.

At the end of the next day, Xunxiang left Ding Mansion and went to Tao Mansion.

She was directly invited to the outer study. Prince Consort Xun was already here, and several men from the Tao family were also here.

The father and daughter knelt down and kowtowed, solemnly thanking the teacher for his teachings.

Mr. Tao smiled and said, "Father and daughter worship the same master together, and the three masters and apprentices are members of the same family. It has become a beautiful story in Da Li."

Afterwards, the men discussed knowledge in the study, and Xunxiang went to the old lady's yard.

Tao Jing was waiting at the door when she saw Xun Xiang and said with a smile, "My grandmother has been looking forward to it."

There were seven women sitting in the room, surrounded by jewels.

The old lady was in good health. She held Xunxiang's hand and smiled and said, "I haven't seen Xiangxiang for a long time. I'm thinking hard. Let the old lady take a closer look. Ouch, I'm taller and thinner..."

At the beginning of noon, Mrs. Sun and Sun Yumu suddenly came.

Although Mrs. Sun was wearing plain clothes and no makeup, her complexion was good and she was obviously fatter. She was completely different from the heartbroken woman before.

The old lady was very happy when her daughter's grandson came home unexpectedly.

She pulled Sun Yumu and asked, "Are you off duty today?"

Sun Yumu smiled and said, "My colleague has something to do in a few days, so he will change my shift with me." Then he said to Xun Xiang, "The princess is also here, what a coincidence."

Xunxiang felt that it was not a coincidence, but that Sun Yumu came specifically to see her. Mrs. Sun came to cooperate with him. It should be the Sun family's business.

It just so happened that she also had something to say to him.

The New Year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the temperature has warmed up.

Mrs. Dong's illness is getting more and more serious, and the Dong Mansion has begun to prepare for the funeral.

Mrs. Zhang, Grandma Xun and Mrs. Wang go to visit almost every day. After they left, Mi Hongmian was asked to go back and rest.

Xunxiang goes there every two days.

She wanted to go every day, but Dongyang refused, saying that she was still a child and was afraid of getting sick, so she asked Aunt Wei to visit every day on her behalf.

All visitors to the hospital are not allowed to have close contact with Mrs. Dong. They can only take a look at the door and listen to Mi Hongmian or Zhang and others explain her condition in the living room.

The imperial doctors and doctors were constantly at the bedside of Mrs. Dong. Xunxiang never had the chance to live in the Dong family or have close contact with Mrs. Dong.

Although she knew that Mrs. Dong's death was not real, her farewell was real and she was very sad.
