Regarding the matter of reading, Ding Yezi always felt a little indebted to Ding Xiaohu. Although he had told him about it last time, he rejected it at the time, but now Ding Shiheng's situation is not ordinarily good, Ding Xiaohu really doesn't envy it at all?

Ding Page has already made a decision, if Ding Xiaohu also wants to study and gain fame, then she will find a way to help him realize that wish no matter what, she, as a sister, is absolutely not allowed to have eccentricity.

Who knows, Ding Xiaohu didn't care at all, and grinned: "Sister, didn't I tell you a long time ago?" I never thought about studying, I knew my ability, I could learn the craft of making tofu, and I could live a good life with this craft in the future, and this is what I want most. ”

Ding Xiaohu's temperament is more casual, and he is a little immodest when he says this. It's just that because Ding Yezi's expression was too serious, Ding Xiaohu's expression slowly calmed down.

Ding Yezi said: "Xiaohu, you tell my sister the truth, you really don't want to study?" ”

Ding Xiaohu shook his head honestly, "I never thought about it." ”

Ding Page bowed her head, no matter what, everyone went their own way, even if she thought that reading was the right way, but as long as Ding Xiaohu didn't like it, what did she have to say?

Then Ding Page talked to Ding's mother again, and then went back to Hao's house.

As for Ding's mother, whenever she asked how she was doing in Haofu, Ding Yezi always smiled and said how happy she was in Haofu, how good Xianggong was to her, and so on. When Ding's mother heard her words, her heart also relaxed, and she said that it was thanks to the blessing of the ancestors that Ding Page would have such a happy life today.

Ding Page didn't argue with her, just smiled and agreed.

After sending Shen Yan and Gu Yun away, the entire Hao Mansion seemed to be much cleaner all of a sudden, although Aunt Shen was unwilling, she also had to work with Wan Niang, and she had to pretend to be happy on her face, otherwise the old lady would be unhappy.

For such a long time, Ding Page deeply suspected that Aunt Shen would definitely hold back her internal injuries.

Under the pick-up of Wan Niang and Aunt Shen, the entire Hao Mansion was already dressed up lively, and the things that could be changed everywhere were changed, and the masters each bought a few new clothes, and even the maids and boys also issued two new clothes.

It wasn't until the night of Chinese New Year's Eve that Hao Ling was completely relaxed, and everything that should be busy and what should not be busy came to an end temporarily.

It's just that even if they are free now, the two lack time to be alone, the house is busy up and down, and a stage has been set up in the courtyard, and a troupe has been invited to sing a big drama on it non-stop.

If the masters like it, they will sit on the pavilion not far away, watch the play quietly, or order a play they like to listen to.

The next people are casual, and if they have time or leisure, they can just find a corner that is convenient for watching the play and stand still, and they are watching the play freely, and it will be lively and applauding. It is rare to have a New Year, and the rules of Haofu have been temporarily relaxed, so that everyone can celebrate the New Year happily.

Ding Page wrapped her clothes tightly and went to watch two plays, she couldn't understand the lyrics of Yi Yaya, but looking at the lively appearance that everyone applauded, she was also infected by that emotion, and she was in a good mood.

Hao Ling just went to greet the old lady, but when she turned around, she didn't see her in the room, asked the maids where she was, and then accompanied her to watch a play.

"Xianggong, do you say that the people in this play are real?" Ding Yezi took a sip of hot tea and asked quietly.

At this time, a reunion drama is being played on the stage, and the scholar who has studied hard for more than ten years in the cold window finally topped the high school list, and how did he know the great changes that were taking place in his family when he was in Beijing for a while? His father and mother were seriously ill in bed, and his wife had to take care of the two elders and the two children who had just walked, which was miserable.

Vulgar drama, the prime minister in the capital took a fancy to him as his son-in-law and insisted on marrying his daughter to him, how could the man who was bent on promotion still remember the old mother and young son at home? He took a new wife with joy. Unexpectedly, two years later, the new wife still had nothing, and finally died of depression. At this time, he remembered that there were still old mothers and children in his hometown, and he was busy letting people take them to the capital. Externally, he only said that his wife was the concubine he had taken at the beginning, so as not to affect his career, so as not to be dissatisfied with his prime minister. Of course, because he did not have a wife at this time, and because his wife gave birth to children, it was logical that he would raise his wife to the main room again, and he would enjoy all kinds of blessings from then on.

The ending is indeed a happy ending, and the family is finally reunited. It's just, is all this really fair to that woman? A good wife, a bad wife who is dutiful and filial to him, is only a concubine on his lips in the end. Even if she is corrected in the end, who knows the bitterness in her heart?

Hao Ling smiled: "A play is just a play, you can't take it seriously." It's just that these dramas are also a microcosm of human affairs, maybe there is. ”

Ding Yezi nodded, took a small bite of the almond crisp, and ate it with fragrant tea.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Hao Lingzhu carried a burden, and Tete went to the East Courtyard.

Ding Yezi saw her coming over with something, and asked with a smile, "Lingzhu, what's wrong?" This is the New Year, can you still give me a gift? ”

Hao Lingzhu glared at her with a faint smile and said, "I'm not here to give you a gift, I'm here to give a gift to my brother and sister-in-law." ”

After that, let the little maid on the side unfold the burden, but there were two pairs of cotton boots inside.

"Sister-in-law, I am not skilled in craftsmanship, I originally wanted to make a new dress for you and your eldest brother, but you also know that recently I finally made the old lady's Baishou Tu drape, but I really didn't have time to catch up with others, so I had to make cotton boots for you and my eldest brother, and you can wear them in the house."

Ding Page gestured to Dong'er, and Dong'er hurriedly stepped forward to take the shoes and handed them to Ding Page's hand.

Her shoes are made of rose red satin, with large peony flowers embroidered on the toe, which are very gorgeous, and Hao Ling's shoes are black and gold satin, sparsely embroidered with two or three bamboos, which is not bad.

Hao Lingzhu's embroidery has always been very good, and now I will see the two pairs of shoes she made, Ding Yezi couldn't help but say enviously: "Lingzhu, when will I have your craftsmanship." ”

Hao Lingzhu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Miao praised, I'm just making two pairs casually, you and the eldest brother will wear it, just don't say I'm not good." ”

Since marrying into Haofu, Ding Yezi really feels that he has enjoyed all the love that he did not enjoy in his previous life. Not to mention that she doesn't have any so-called mother-in-law and daughter-in-law contradictions at all, even a sister-in-law is kind to her, and she is as close as a sister.

Looking at the two pairs of shoes in his hand, Ding Yezi said to Hao Lingzhu with some embarrassment: "Lingzhu, if your brother knew that you had prepared such a big gift, I am afraid that he would be very happy, but in this way, it seems that my courtesy is light." ”

Hao Lingzhu smiled: "Sister-in-law, why are you alienated from me?" I don't like to hear that. ”

Ding Yezi nodded to Xiao Tao on the side, Xiao Tao understood, and hurriedly went to the inner room to get a box.

Ding Yezi took the box, smiled and said to Hao Lingzhu: "This Chinese New Year, I discussed it with your brother, and also prepared a gift for you, I pondered that your embroidery work is good, and you may not need any clothes or the like, so I will help you choose a set of jewelry with your brother." Look, look. ”

Ding Yezi handed the box to Hao Lingzhu, and Hao Lingzhu took it half in surprise. When I opened it, I found that the jewelry in the box was dazzling and beautiful, different from the ordinary gold and silver jewelry I saw in the jewelry shop in the past.

Without missing the unexpected surprise on Hao Lingzhu's face, Ding Yezi asked with a smile, "Do you like it?" ”

Hao Lingzhu nodded happily, holding the box with one hand, and picking up a step shake with one hand, only to see that the hairpin handle of the step shake was made of gold, and the hairpin body was a hollow golden phoenix, and the golden phoenix held three golden silk weeping willows in its mouth, and three shining rubies were inlaid under the weeping willows.

Holding the right hand of the step shake gently, the whole golden phoenix danced up and down as if it was alive, and the ruby was also shining, looking very beautiful.

Hao Lingzhu was more and more happy to look at it, and asked Ding Yezi in surprise: "Sister-in-law, where did you choose such exquisite jewelry?" ”

Ding Yezi saw that she was happy, and his heart was relieved, and he said to her honestly: "This set of jewelry is a pattern drawn by me, please make it customized by the jewelry store, I'm afraid you don't like it, so I said that I picked it." No, don't worry, this is absolutely unique in the world, and no one can use anything like you. ”

Girls like beautiful and unique things, Hao Lingzhu is no exception, hearing Ding Page say that this set of jewelry is a pattern drawn by her, I became more and more suspicious in my heart, I really didn't expect Ding Page to have such a talent.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so talented, my brother is really blessed." Hao Lingzhu praised half envy and half surprised.

Ding Page covered his mouth and snickered, "What kind of talent, I'm just painting casually, if you like it, your brother still thinks I'm shabby." ”

Hao Lingzhu said: "Don't listen to my brother, I feel very beautiful." The more I look at it, the happier I become, and I am reluctant to bring it, what should I do? ”

Ding Page smiled: "You have to bring it!" Tomorrow's New Year's Day, I hope you bring it to see me, and when you get married in two years, I will draw two sets of patterns for you, so that you can take it as a dowry, okay? ”

Hao Ling only has Hao Lingzhu as a sister, and Ding Yezi naturally likes her in his heart.

Hao Lingzhu smiled: "Sister-in-law, then you have to talk!" ”

Ding Page Yile, "Don't worry, what I say must be counted, if it doesn't count, you find your brother to administer justice to you." ”

Hao Lingzhu deliberately pursed her lips and said, "You are still looking for my brother to administer justice, don't think about it, my brother must be partial to your sister-in-law, so that you won't remember my sister-in-law." ”
