Chapter 6: Lilacs
Ding Zhao said, "It was all our speculation just now. What if the child's family likes her and puts it in the box? In this way, I will go to Yinfeng Street to have a look, and if anyone looks for the child, or even reports to the official, and explains why the child is hidden in the wooden box, we will return it to them. If you don't dare to find the child if you lose it, then you will be tired of the cat, and the child will be more auspicious when she returns it, so we will leave the child. ”
Zhang was extremely reluctant, but still nodded.
Although Xun Xiang was disappointed, she had to admire that these two couples were good people and good people, and they really liked the child they picked up. If she lived in this family, she would not suffer even if she was poorer. In ancient patriarchal times, even biological daughters, there were many people who were abused.
She believed that the old demon woman Xun would not dare to look for the child in a big way. I hope that there will be no more accidents and that I can end up in this home.
Ding Zhao hurriedly went out.
Zhang gave Xun Xiang urine, put it on the kang, and she went to the kitchen to boil rice soup for the child to drink.
Xun Xiang was sleepy and hungry, and she didn't dare to cry, so she fell asleep uncontrollably again.
Xun Xiang was gently pinched by Zhang's to wake up, "Girl, wake up, it's time to eat." ”
The tone is gentle, and it really seems to be talking to his own daughter.
Xun Xiang sniffed and smelled the good smell of rice soup. She was so hungry that a silver thread slid down the corner of her mouth.
Zhang smiled and picked her up and sat down at the table, wiping her saliva with a handkerchief. Then I scooped a spoonful of table rice soup with a small spoon, blew it, and hit it with my lips, and fed it to the clove when I felt that it was not hot.
Xun Xiang couldn't care about whether the rice soup had Zhang's saliva or not, and drank it in a big gulp.
She was hungry.
One sip after another, I drank a small half bowl with little effort.
Zhang said to himself, "This kid is easy to take with him when he sees it, if no one looks for him." ”
There was a knock on the door, and Zhang put Xun Xiang on the kang to open the door.
Ding Zhao's expression was serious, ignoring the inquiry in Zhang's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Let's go back to the house." ”
When he entered the house and closed the door, Ding Zhao said solemnly, "The child can't be returned." ”
"What's going on?" Zhang twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Ding Zhao.
Ding Zhao wiped his face and said, "There are really two people on Yinfeng Street who are looking for wooden boxes, an old woman in her fifties, and a descendant of seventeen or eighteen. They said that they had lost a carved wooden box of Nanmu, which contained treasures, and whoever returned the original would be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver.
"When people ask what kind of treasure they pretend, they don't say, they just say it's a baby. Zhiniang, they don't even dare to say that they are children, there must be a problem, and the children will go back to be more auspicious. ”
He walked to the kang and picked up Xun Xiang, and said softly, "Good boy, we are destined, you will be my daughter in the future." Although my family is not very rich, we will not hurt you, we will keep you fed and clothed, and you will be raised in peace. ”
Then he said to Zhang, "It must be the Bodhisattva who sees our piety and gives us a girl in such a form." I am all ready, and I will leave on time to return to my hometown the day after tomorrow. In addition to telling the truth to my father, I told everyone else that this child was born to you. ”
Zhang chuckled happily and said, "Looking at the size of this child, it should be about a month, just say that I gave birth to her on July 20." ”
Finally confirmed that he would not enter the wolf's den again, and would not be killed. Xun Xiang's heart that had been lifting for a long time finally put down, and her little face smiled.
You will be blessed if you take me in.
Zhang said, "When the water is boiled, give the child a bath, and her clothes and hats can no longer be used." ”
stripped off his clothes, the smooth Xun Xiang was put into a large wooden basin, and Zhang bathed Xun Xiang neatly.
He praised in his mouth, "This child is white and tender, much better looking than Lichun Liren." No wonder my father-in-law wants a granddaughter every day. ”
Ding Zhao smiled, "Those two boys are black and ugly, and there is no comparison. ”
Zhang's heart was weak, "The child is so good-looking, he doesn't look like our daughter at all." Will others be suspicious? ”
Ding Zhao said, "Let's just say that the child is like a grandmother, and my mother is so beautiful." My father is looking forward to you giving birth to a granddaughter every day, because he wants you to have a granddaughter who is as good-looking as my mother. If it were like him and me, my father wouldn't be rare. ”
A vague face that had been around for a long time appeared in front of Ding Zhao's eyes again. White skin, pointed chin, apricot eyes...... It's a pity that she, her two sons and the second brother and son all followed their father, not like her at all.
Zhang laughed, it was this reason, she often listened to her husband and the old people in the village talk about how good-looking her mother-in-law who died early.
Her face froze suddenly, she sniffed, lowered her head and sniffed, and said in surprise, "Master, this child's incense is not from clothes, but from her own fragrance." ”
Ding Zhao raised his eyebrows, and this strange thing?
He quickly crouched down and sniffed. First happy, then serious, I feel that the burden on my shoulders is a little heavier.
"This child is good-looking and fragrant, we have to take good care of her, and we can't be remembered by bad people...... Oh, I've got a name in mind, it's called Lilac. ”
Zhang smiled, "Lilac, fragrant, good name." ”
This name Xun Xiang also likes. She did have a relationship with the couple, and they gave her the same name, and even the birthday they said was only one day away.
After that, she will be called Lilac.
In her previous life, she liked lilacs very much, a touch of purple, a faint fragrance, and the poem "Rain Alley...... I didn't expect her to be called this name in this life.
Lilac happily waved her little fist.
Ding Zhao smiled, "Xiangxiang also likes this name." I will go to the pharmacy tomorrow to buy a few medicinal herbs and come back, make pills and put them in my purse, and wear them on my body at any time to cover up the fragrance. ”
Zhang asked, "Why don't you make incense pills?" ”
"We are from the countryside, where is there a place to wear incense pills for children. It is said that the child has a deficiency disease, and he carries pills with him to cure the disease. ”
Zhang smiled, "This kid seems to have a deficiency disease." ”
Ding Zhao looked at the cloves, they were indeed white and fat, and their bodies were so tight.
He laughed too.
After pondering for a moment, he said again, "Let's just say that when Xiangxiang was half a month, she suddenly cried one night, and she couldn't be coaxed. The next day, I asked the Taoist woman to see it, and the Taoist woman said that the child had lost his soul and had to be calmed with medicinal pills, and the pills should be brought to the age of fifteen...... Hehe, when the girl grows up, she can still suppress her own aroma without pills and incense pills. I can only tell my father about this. ”
Zhang glanced at her husband admiringly, "You can figure it out." Okay, let's just say that. ”
The joy of the husband and wife was also infected with cloves, even if she was seen by others, she was happy, and her little arms kept dancing. I wanted to kick my legs, but I thought it was indecent to do that action with my bare feet, so I gave up again.
Zhang likes it more, and gently pinches her little face or little ass after washing it twice.
Ding Zhao also happily pinched Lilac's little face.
After drying the cloves and putting them on the kang, Zhang picked up the children in his middle coat and covered them with their thin quilts.
