Xianggui

The next day, Ding Xiang slept until she woke up naturally.

The yard was quiet.

As long as Feifei came, there were very few birds nearby, and not a single mouse was left.

Ding Xiang put on her clothes, and led Feifei out of the East Chamber.

Yang Hu's family wanted to pour water to wash her face, but Ding Lichun came out and said, "Aunt Yang is busy, I will."

Ding Lichun washed Ding Xiang's face.He looks big and thick, but he is very careful in doing things, for fear of hurting his sister.

He took out a hot boiled egg, a small bowl of white rice porridge, and a plate of pickled cucumbers from the pot and put them on the east room table, and put a bowl of raw mutton on the ground for Feifei to eat.

While eating, Ding Xiang listened to Ding Lichun talk about his investigation in the capital.

Before he entered Beijing, he accidentally said that his sister was interested in royal affairs, and Ding Zhao reprimanded him with a serious face.

"You are a common man, can you inquire about royal matters? Your sister is young, and you are not young, so you are not allowed to inquire about those matters. If you dare to be disobedient, let me see how I deal with you."

Ding Lichun still couldn't bear his sister's disappointment, so he secretly inquired about it, but he didn't dare to let his father know.

"I heard that the emperor has seven princes. The second prince is the crown prince, named Gao Feng, who was born to Concubine Su Gui. There are three princesses. The eldest princess is Princess Dongyang, the one I saw. The second princess is Princess Xiyang. The third princess is the Princess of Nanyang. I went around the Xiyang Princess Mansion, oh, it’s so big, it’s bigger than the entire Beiquan Village, the walls are light red, and the gate is deep red..."

Ding Xiang didn't want to hear about Princess Xiyang, so she interrupted him and said, "Where is Princess Dongyang? I heard that her daughter's name is also Xiangxiang."

Meaning, because her daughter's name is the same as mine, I'm extra interested in her.

Ding Lichun corrected again, "It's not that the name is Xiangxiang, but the title is Xiangxiang. I haven't heard anything about Princess Dongyang, but her son-in-law is famous. I've heard people talk about it, and I've heard it from Uncle Zeng."

"What did you find out?" Ding Xiang's eyes sparkled.

Ding Lichun was very happy to see that his younger sister liked to listen.

"The son-in-law is not only a famous handsome man in the Dali Dynasty, but also the youngest number one scholar.

"I have studied poetry, painting, martial arts, arithmetic, law, and astronomy. I have participated in the compilation and compilation of many related political and law books by the imperial court. I have also written books. However, it is said that he acts differently from ordinary people. , I like dealing with long-haired ghosts the most, and I also like the Spanish spoken by those people..."

Ding Xiang has heard that long-haired ghosts refer to people who come by boat from the sea, who come from the other side of the ocean, not the Hu people who came over by the Western Silk Road.

Spanish... The Spanish of this era is definitely not the English that was commonly used in the previous life, it may be Latin or Italian.

Seeing his sister's astonished eyes, Ding Lichun smiled triumphantly, and continued, "There are things my sister can't even think of. Madam Xun lived in Shanghai County for three years in order to learn Spanish from foreigners who were preaching in Shanghai County. , and joined the Catholic Church with a dozen servants, what books have been translated with the missionaries..."

Ding Xiang was even more surprised.

She occasionally analyzes her biological parents in this life.

Needless to say, Princess Dongyang has a princess disease and is in poor health. She is either irresponsible or not very smart, otherwise she would not let her step-mother-in-law steal her daughter from her house.

As for Consort Xun, the words that Ding Xiang thought of the most before were champion, wit, handsome man, soft rice man, depressed and unsatisfactory man...

The reason for depression and frustration is that the number one scholar with a good background may not be willing to be a son-in-law, and being a son-in-law means that he cannot display his political ambitions.

But I didn't expect this son-in-law to be so unique.It’s okay to be a great Confucian, and it’s okay to participate in the compilation of the imperial government’s political and legal books. In order to learn a foreign language, he didn’t honestly stay in the capital to accompany his wife. He went away for three years and joined the Catholic Church! ! !
This completely overturned Ding Xiang's perception of the son-in-law.

What books can he translate, such as "The Divine Comedy", "Romeo and Juliet", or "The Count of Monte Cristo"?
No matter what book, the thinking is advanced enough...

Before, Ding Xiang didn't have much hope that Ding Lichun could find out about his biological parents. If he could find out the name, the number of people in the family, and where he lived, it would be good.After all, ordinary people can't inquire about the royal affairs casually, and it's impossible for many royal secrets to be revealed.

Who would have thought that Prince Consort Xun was a man of influence, and he could get so much information just by asking about it, which was much more interesting than imagined.

"Sister..." Ding Lichun waved his big hand in front of her eyes, "Hey, I didn't expect that the son-in-law not only only knows how to eat, drink, have fun and enjoy life, but also has practical people. Uncle Zeng especially admired Xun son-in-law, saying that he has A great talent, if he is not recruited as a son-in-law, he may become the chief assistant in the future. The emperor also appreciates him, he is the only son-in-law in this dynasty who has a real vacancy."

Ding Xiang asked, "Brother, what book did Xun Concubine translate, why don't you buy a copy and show it to me?"

Ding Lichun disdainfully said, "What's the value of the long-haired ghost's book? Those people are still immature, their hair is an inch long, and they heard that they eat human flesh and drink human blood. My sister really wants to read Xun's son-in-law's book. I will find a way to buy a copy." Let you read the book he wrote, and forget about compiling it.”

Thinking of his father's instructions, he waved his hands again and said, "No, you little girl, what are you doing asking about men's affairs, you are still a man of the royal family. If the master and father know that I am helping you, they will beat me to death."

Ding Xiang quickly slid down from the chair, hugged Ding Lichun's waist and said coquettishly, "I want to read, I want to read everything he wrote and compiled. I will make a fan pendant, a sweat towel, a jade pendant, and a postnatal belt for my brother." beautiful colorful bracelet from..."

After speaking, he raised his head and pouted, making a cute expression.

Ding Lichun couldn't stand his younger sister's coquettish behavior the most, and said with a smile, "Okay, go to the county town to buy it for my younger sister, but don't let my father and father know."

Ding Xiang gave him a look that I knew, looking forward to going to the county seat as soon as possible.

After dinner, Ding Xiang and Ding Lichun took Feifei to the hillside to play.

She wants to train Feifei.

Let the little thing know that after going into the mountains to find food, not only can it return to its own home, but it can also return to this home.

Ding Lichun was afraid that Feifei would take Lilac away, so he tied the other end of the rope tied to Feifei to his wrist, let it stand on his shoulder, and walked out with Dingxiang on his back.

Hei Wa followed behind.

Ding Lilai was still injured, so he was not taken along for such a long journey.

On the way, Ding Zhen came to the second room with her younger brother to make a contact.Hearing that he went to train Feifei on the mountain, he happily followed.

The villagers greeted Ding Lichun and Ding Xiang.

Seeing the tall and strong Ding Lichun, those who wanted to fight Feifei didn't dare to fight.

The second room of Ding's family produces talents.Seeing that Ding Zhuang was disabled and old, and only Ding Zhao was left who could fight, Ding Lichun grew up again.Just 13 years old, he is stronger than many adults, so he is not easy to mess with.
