Xianggui

Seeing that Xunxiang was ill and unable to come, Dingshan's family was depressed and disappointed.

When she heard that Princess Dongyang would send a eunuch to give her a hairpin when it was time to give her haircut, Mrs. Zhang would use the long hairpin and the two short jadeite hairpins given by Xunxiang to wear it. The whole family was very happy.

Xie was reciting the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, girl Zhen has such a good fortune, the ancestral graves are smoking. Thank you Princess Dongyang, thank you Xiangxiang. Girl Zhen is blessed, she has played well with Xiangxiang since she was a child."

Dingshan was even more excited. He knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the capital, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess. Thank you, Your Highness, Princess. Before, the emperor's favor only extended to the second bedroom, but now it has also extended to our home. It's all thanks to Xiangxiang... …”

After he got up, he asked his family and servants to spread the word quickly.

At noon on the eighth day of April, Mrs. Zhang, who had returned from Hexian County, came to Ziyuan and brought a heavy gift from the third room.

Because of Ding Lichun's incident, she felt a lot haggard.

Mrs. Zhang forced a smile and said, "Your third grandfather and third grandmother are so happy. They never dreamed of having that honor. Except for the Yang family, Wang family, Xue family, Hexian County Cheng family, Zhu Bo family, Shou Wei These official female relatives,

"The female dependents of General Fu Shen's family, General Xia's family, and General Li's family in Nan Daying also went... Ouch, there are so many distinguished guests. It's so lively that your third grandfather is so happy that he can't stop talking. The future daughter-in-law will gain face. , Mrs. Wang was also happy and pulled Girl Zhen to praise her.

"Princess Dongyang was rewarded with a peacock hairpin inlaid with red gold, which was large and beautiful. The words were also good, saying that Zhen Yatou was beautiful and dignified, chaste and virtuous. She grew up with Princess Xiangxiang and had a deep friendship... I want to give it to Dongyang. The princess kowtowed and thanked her for this great help."

Xue Tian's father was the magistrate of He County. Regardless of whether Princess Dongyang gave her a hairpin or not, the Xue family's female family members would go there. The Xue family has gone, and the female relatives of Hexian County Prime Minister and Lord Bo family will also go. As for other houses, they went there because Princess Dongyang valued Ding Zhen.

Xunxiang smiled, Dingshan liked this.

As long as Ding Zhen is happy.

She said, "Mom, there is no need to kowtow, I will bring my thanks to you."

Xunxiang didn't want Mrs. Zhang to be too groveling in front of Dongyang.

Mrs. Zhang smiled again and said, "The apple trees in Hexian County are blooming. This year's flowers are blooming more lushly than in previous years. It's time to bear fruit."

Xunxiang particularly misses the apple tree at home in Beiquan Village. Since Beiquan Village cannot see it, she can only go to Hexian County to see it.

She said, "When the crops bear fruit in the fall, I will go to Hexian County to stay for a day."

On the evening of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Prince Consort Xun came to Ziyuan to have dinner with Xun Xiang again. Because Xunxiang was "sick", she ate three meals by herself in Ziyuan. Occasionally, Xunxiang would come to accompany her.

The fishy smell in the room is stronger.

Prince Consort Xun's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and his nose was wrinkled, making him unwilling to control his facial expressions.

He held his breath and said, "Move the fish tank to the backyard. If you want to see it, go and have a look. It won't affect your life."

Xunxiang shook his head, "I'm used to it and I don't find it smelly."

Xunxiang invited him to have dinner in the wing tea room.

After Xun Yibo and Dong Yang had dinner, they sat in Ziyuan for a while and had to close the second door before leaving. One goes to the outer courtyard and the other returns to Qijin Hall.

Xunxiang locked the door and started running and jumping again.

The horn lamp on the table was dim, casting long shadows.

Suddenly there was a thunder outside, followed by heavy rain.

This is the heaviest spring rain this year, and you can feel the moisture even if the doors and windows are closed.

Luo Er, who was on duty outside, knocked on the door and said, "Princess, are you afraid? I'm afraid that my slave will come in to accompany you."

Xun Xiang said, "You sleep in your own bed, I'm not afraid."

Even with a thin layer of sweat, she could still distinguish the special aroma from her body among the rich styrax.

She held out the little fairy.

The fishy smell is stronger, making Xun Xiang want to vomit. She suppressed her nausea and saw the little fairy's flesh slowly coming out of the shell and adhering to her right wrist.

The small bag was bigger, the skin was stretched like tulle, and the beads could be seen to be blue. "Spitting beads" sounds like it is spitting out from the mouth of the conch, but judging from the situation, it should be that the beads rolled out on their own after the skin was broken.

The squirming flesh became redder and redder, and finally turned red, making the bead appear bluer and more convex.

Suddenly, the squirming flesh began to tremble violently.

It looks scary.

Is this going to "give birth"? Xun Xiang's heart rose to her throat.

He was afraid and didn't dare to let go, staring at the small bag without blinking.

More than half a quarter of an hour later, a small spot broke through the skin, revealing a piece of blue as big as the tip of a needle. The small dots are getting bigger little by little, and the sea blue inside is also getting bigger.

Xunxiang's left hand is placed under her right back, ready to catch the falling beads at any time.

The blue beads became more and more exposed, and after they were fully revealed, they rolled down to Xun Xiang's right hand and then to the center of her left hand.

The beads are only a little smaller than longans, and there is some sticky liquid on them, which makes them smell more fishy.

Xunxiang didn't dare to move her hands, not knowing how to deal with this little "maternal woman."

The little fairy's flesh slowly turned pink and squirmed, as if she wanted to get into the shell.

Xunxiang put it into the water, and quickly put the aquamarine pearl in her hand into the copper basin nearby.

Slowly wash off the liquid on the beads and take them out.

In the white and tender palms, the big sea-blue beads are round and dazzling, shining with blue light under the candlelight.

Xunxiang praised, "Ah, it's so beautiful, more beautiful than all beads, gems, and diamonds..."

If it is used to make jewelry, no gemstone can match its brilliance, grace and beauty.

There is no woman who doesn’t love beautiful jewelry, let alone the best in this world.

Xunxiang wanted to make her into a hairpin and wear it in the most conspicuous place on her head. I also want to make it into a necklace and place it closest to my heart.

However, in order to maximize its effectiveness, it can only be cut into at least fifty petals.

The old monk said that it can cure some of the most difficult-to-treat diseases and save at least fifty lives.

This is its mission.

Thinking of dividing it into so many parts, Xunxiang's heart was bleeding and her hands were shaking unconsciously.

She didn't know how long she looked at it before hiding the beads in a dark layer of the drawer under the bed.

Xunxiang has many treasures, including Calabash Ginseng, Purple Dragon Slough, Great Grandmother Lu, and this sea blue bead, which are all hidden separately.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket.

After hiding the treasure, she went to open the small window, and a fresh and moist wind blew in her face.

The lanterns on the corridor were swaying, and the pouring rain was like a curtain, blocking out everything outside.

After Xunxiang took a few deep breaths, she turned around to look at the little fairy. Her flesh had been completely retracted into her shell, and she was hiding quietly among the water plants.

It must have been exhausted and fell asleep.

The water in the glass tank still smells bad. It’s time to change the sea water the day after tomorrow. After changing the water, the air in the water house will completely improve.

Xunxiang didn't know how long the little fairy could live. No matter how long it lives, you must pamper it well.
