Chapter 575 The smell of blood
This was the first time for Xunxiang to stay overnight in a nunnery. Although the kang was warm, it still felt cold.

The mountain wind was so strong that it rattled the window paper.

The faces of Yang Shu and Chang You appeared alternately in front of Xunxiang's eyes.

The same person becomes completely different after not seeing each other for a few months.

Those empty eyes made Xunxiang feel heartbroken.

She is only eighteen years old this year and was in the third year of high school in her previous life. Why can't she think so hard...

At the end of the next day, the Xunxiang brothers and sisters bid farewell to Dongyang and returned to Beijing.

Xun Yibo returned to the princess mansion to prepare things. Tomorrow Ding Li will come back to Hu County with the three of them. The Princess Mansion will bring some gifts to Xun Consort and the three of them, and Xun Mansion will also have something to bring to Xun Consort.

Xunxiang went directly to Ding Mansion.

Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun went to the Yamen. Ding Chi and his wife, Ding Shan's family, Xue Tian's mother and daughter, his eldest brother, and Ding Sifu all came.

Everyone was talking and laughing in the main courtyard.

Seeing Ding Liren and Xue Tian, ​​Ding Lilai and Li Qianqian occasionally making eye contact and smiling sweetly, Xunxiang thought of Ding Lichun again.

He is twenty-one years old this year, his younger brothers and sisters are all settled, but his former fiancée has become a monk.

Li Qianqian took Xunxiang to look at the things she bought. Almost all of them were food, and she filled two boxes full of them.

"Yesterday, I did a whole day of shopping and went to Sipin Study to eat until I was full. Unfortunately, the food in Sipin Study cannot be taken out..."

Li Qianqian's nose twitched, "Sister Xiang is injured?"

Xunxiang shook his head and denied, "No, not even a bit of oily skin has been broken."

"Then you are here. No, I remember you were here ten days ago." Li Qianqian pulled Xunxiang up and down to smell it again, and finally raised her left wrist to look at it, "Hey, she's not hurt. What's going on here?" There will be a smell of blood.”

Xun Xiang felt a sudden thought, and quickly took off the string of beads and said, "Does this rosary smell of blood?"

Li Qianqian held the string under her nose, smelled it and said with a smile, "Well, it does."

Xun Xiang said, "This is a sandalwood rosary given to me by Master Kongjing. It is said that it has been soaked in a variety of strange medicines. It does not necessarily include snake blood or any other blood."

She looked at Li Qianqian with admiration, "Qianqian is so good, she can smell such a weak smell of blood."

Li Qianqian said proudly, "My nose is very good. I can distinguish many smells by smelling them, and the smell of blood is the most sensitive."

Xunxiang looked at the beads and was unwilling to continue wearing them, so she asked Luo Er to put them on the dressing table.

I won’t give it to the queen’s grandma anymore, and I’ll tell my old lady Dongyang not to wear it.

There's something creepy about things soaked in blood.

Although the abbot of Kongjing was an eminent monk, he was not familiar with it and the thing had been soaked in blood, so Xunxiang was unwilling to wear it close to his body.

Master Mingyuan is not here. I will go to Puguang Temple and ask the Abbot of Compassion later.

Li Qianqian took Xun Xiang's hand again and said, "Help me look after the hot pot restaurant, which is the foundation of my life in the capital. If I make a lot of money in the future, Sister Xiang will also have more money for makeup."

Xun Xiang said, "I have already told Yan Jialing."

She is not needed for such a trivial matter.

Li Qianqian smiled at Ding Zhen and Xue Yi again and said, "I have already said hello to the shopkeeper. When it opens, Sister Zhen and Sister Xue will get a 50% discount on their food."

Ding Zhen reminded with a smile, "Uncle Chi and Auntie go and don't charge any money."

Li Qianqian smiled and said, "Brother Lai said that if they give it, they will take it, and if they don't give it, they won't take it..."

In the evening, Xun Yibo led people to deliver letters and gifts from the Princess's Mansion and Xun's Mansion.

After dinner, Ding Chi and his wife wanted to take Ding Lilai home and have him come here to join the Li brothers and sisters tomorrow morning.

Ding Lilai was unwilling and shouted with bulging eyes, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I haven't spoken enough to my sister yet." Ding Chi said, "Shouldn't it be your parents who you are most reluctant to leave? No, stay here Go home and let’s talk more.”

He was furious. The son has been home for so many days, but has only stayed at home for two days. In addition to chatting with his little wife, he also talks to Xunxiang, his father, his eldest brother and his family, and he is even more unfamiliar with him than outsiders.

Ding Lilai said stubbornly, "The thing I miss the most is my sister."

Li Qianqian added fuel to the fire, "I can't let go of Sister Xiang, and I can't let go of Grandpa Ding either."

Tang was so angry that she glared at her, "Qianqian, in your heart, which one is more important, your parents or your sister?"

Li Qianqian pouted and said, "I don't have a sister."

Tang rolled his eyes in anger, "Silly."

In the end, Ding Chi and Tang had to stay in the guest room of Ding Mansion.

Ding Xiang was pulled by Ding Li to express her "heartfelt feelings".

My favorite thing to say is still, "Sister, don't forget me. Just like the eldest and second brothers, I am your brother."

Li Qianqian also said, "Sister Xiang, don't forget me. I like you very much. Don't worry, I have a long memory. I won't talk nonsense anymore, and I won't get in front of noble people..."

Xunxiang also told them some trivial matters in life, "Third brother, don't sleep too late, exercise, and discuss with the Li family when encountering problems... Qianqian must be optimistic about third brother, and not allow him to eat only meat, but to mix meat and vegetables."

"On behalf of my brother and I, we should also fulfill our filial piety in front of my father and ask him not to work too hard and go home when he is tired... And the most important thing is that Qianqian is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and must not be told. Remember, ."

Xunxiang didn't believe Li Qianqian's promise. She looked at Ding Li and asked Ding Li to answer.

Ding Lilai has many shortcomings, but one of his biggest advantages is that he promises a thousand pieces of gold.

He won't promise anything if he can't do it, but once he promises, he will definitely do it.

Seeing Xun Xiang being so solemn, Ding Lilai nodded and said, "Okay, I will keep an eye on Sister Qian." Then he looked at Li Qianqian, "Did you hear that? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will betray your trust."

Li Qianqian said quickly, "Okay, I remember."

At the end of Haishi, Ding Lilai was scolded by Ding Zhuang and went to Zhuxuan to rest.

Xunxiang pulled Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Zhang to the study room and whispered about Yang Shu's becoming a monk.

Several people sighed.

Ding Zhuang sighed, "If I had known that child was stubborn about Li Chun, I should have agreed to the marriage. Alas, it's all my fault."

Ding Zhao said, "I don't blame dad, it's because the couple were not honest and harmed my daughter. Don't tell Li Chun about this for now. It's just a sad meeting. Wait until Wuyou leaves the capital to let him stop thinking about it."

Xunxiang was speechless. Last time she chose reason, but this time she didn't want to choose reason again.

Brother, if you want to go see Chang You, go and see it. If the two of them want to stay together, Xunxiang supports it. Even if I don't want to worry about it, my eldest brother has no regrets.

Xunxiang went to bed, and Li Qianqian forced herself into her bed, holding her hand and talking until midnight.

Xunxiang had something on her mind, so she responded with "hmm".

Li Qianqian heard the sound of snoring, but Xunxiang was not asleep yet.

She was thinking about Ding Lichun and Changyou.

If she is a pragmatic modern girl and her lover comes back and he is still interested in her, she can just marry him.

But the ancient people who value "loyalty" pushed Yang Shu to a dead end from the day the Yang family proposed to break off the engagement.

It's easy to say that Ding Lichun is really dead, because people can't bear to let their daughter become a widow.

But when Ding Lichun came back after making great achievements, Yang Shu became a joke in the eyes of others. Whether Yang Shu marries Ding Lichun or not, her reputation will be ruined...

Thank you
