Chapter 7 The Long Road Ahead
Zhang took the lilac's little clothes and hat and touched them carefully, they were soft and smooth, and the seven small pearls on the hat were round and full.
She said, "Although the beads are small, they are round, and they look good." ”
Ding Zhao said, "Don't sell the fragrant things, and don't throw them away, in the end, she brought them out from that house." The wooden box was so conspicuous that it was chopped for firewood.
"In the past few days in the capital, we must take good care of the child and prevent her crying from going outside. If the neighbors hear it, don't admit that we have children in our family, just say that we also hear crying, and we don't know which family. ”
Zhang agreed, "Well, the washed clothes and diapers are not hung in the yard, but in the house." Can't let people into the house yet......"
Lilac gave a thumbs up to the kind and intelligent couple. She was also afraid that they would sell or throw away their clothes and bags, which would be of great use in the future.
The little gold bracelet that the princess gave her on her wrist was gone. It was given to her by the queen's grandmother, and she must have been taken off and put on Sister Feng.
And the things that are worn on her body, even if they are sewn with pearls, are no more ordinary, and the princess will not pay attention to one more set or less set.
Lilac saw their blurred faces as they hugged her and kissed her. Even if it is flat, it can be seen that they are all young, in their twenties.
The bride kisses with thick lips, smiles with crooked eyes, speaks softly and gently, and is a woman with a gentle personality. The new daddy has a big face, small eyes, a round nose, and a small and upturned mouth, a bit like Yue Moumou, who said cross talk in his previous life. Looks honest, but he can speak and act in a good manner, and he is a kind and intelligent person.
Although they look ordinary, their eyes are full of love for cloves, which makes her feel at ease.
Zhang used soft old clothes to cut diapers and change small clothes for Lilac, and then asked Ding Zhao to go to the street tomorrow to pull some soft muslin back.
The husband and wife talked about interesting things at home and discussed future arrangements, and Lilac also knew some things about their family.
Their hometown is in Beiquan Village, Gu'an Town, Linshui County, Jiaodong Province. The family has an iron shop in the town, and there are fifteen acres of land in the countryside.
Ding Zhao's mother died early, but his father is still alive. The father and son struck iron, and rented the land to others to plant. They had two sons, seven-year-old Ding Lichun and four-year-old Ding Liren.
Ding Zhao also has a younger brother, who seems to have a bad relationship with Ding Zhao's father, and lives in the county seat with his daughter-in-law and son.
The year before last, Ding Zhao's left arm suddenly couldn't move, which was equivalent to a waste for the blacksmith. They were very anxious and saw many doctors who couldn't see it well.
When he went to the city and province to see a doctor, Ding Zhao happened to save an old lady who had fallen, and the old lady's son happened to be a doctor.
The doctor said that Ding Zhao was suffering from blood stasis and qi stagnation, and this disease was said to be easy to treat, but it was not good to cure for a lifetime. Ding Zhao has not been cured for so long, which means that his condition is serious. If the economic conditions allow, go to the Qianjin Pavilion in the capital to find Dr. Fang, who is very good at treating this disease. He is an old acquaintance with Doctor Fang, and he can write a letter to introduce him.
Ding Zhao went home to discuss with his father, but his father couldn't bear to be crippled at a young age. Although the family is not very rich, there are still some savings.
In August last year, Ding Zhao took half of his family's savings of eighty taels of silver to the capital to see Dr. Fang. Because Ding Zhao couldn't move one arm, Zhang came with him to take care of his life. The old father and his two children had to pay for the neighbors to help cook and laundry.
Dr. Fang said that Ding Zhao regularly administered needles and medicines, and the probability of curing this disease was 80%, and it would take about one to two years. If he can't be cured beyond this time, there is nothing he can do.
Dr. Fang is not only a skilled doctor, but also a warm-hearted person.
Seeing that they were not rich, they came all the way to the capital to see a doctor for themselves, and they were introduced by a friend when they were young, and it happened that a medicine maker went to the medical hall, so he asked Ding Zhao, who could move his right hand and had a lot of strength, to help make medicine. It's convenient to see a doctor and earn some money.
He heard that Zhang's Luozi played quickly and well, and asked his daughter-in-law to introduce her to an embroidery shop.
Ding Zhao and Zhang's rented this small courtyard with only three old houses, and they could barely get by.
Old Doctor Fang is really a miracle doctor, and it took a year for Ding Zhao's illness to be cured.
The couple rejoiced. There are still twenty taels of silver left, and I used eight taels of silver to buy a heavy gift for Dr. Fang, and the rest of the money to buy a ferry ticket and buy some things for my hometown, and return to my hometown the day after tomorrow.
I didn't expect to pick up a beautiful girl today.
Lilac clear. No wonder I wanted to adopt a child who caught my eyes, it turned out to be a well-off family. If a poor person who can't eat enough food already has a son, no matter how cute the child is, it is impossible to feed her in vain, unless he has the intention of making her a child daughter-in-law.
Lilac was fortunate and moved. They really let her be a daughter, and they even discussed when she was born.
This couple is not only kind, but also able to withstand temptation, and Mrs. He was not tempted to offer such a high reward.
A good person has a safe life, a good person has a good reward, an auspicious person has his own natural appearance, and a gift of roses has a lingering fragrance...... You will be blessed.
Listen to the meaning of their words, water transportation is very developed in this era. The Jingqian Grand Canal is passing through Linshui County, and it is very convenient for them to come to the capital.
Beiquan Village takes an hour and a half to arrive at the dock of Linshui County by donkey cart, and takes about eight to twelve days to take a boat to the capital, depending on the weather and wind direction, except for extreme weather. Arrive at the wharf on the outskirts of Beijing, and then take a donkey cart for more than three hours to reach the south gate of the capital.
In ancient times, where there were canals and wharves, it was equivalent to places where there were airports or railway stations in the previous life, and the economy was relatively developed, and it was easy to do business.
The Beijing-Qian Grand Canal here should be the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the previous life, and Qianzhou is the Hangzhou in the previous life.
Lilac also wants to leave the capital sooner. She has a special physique, and she is afraid that she will be found by the Xun family.
Mama Li's face appeared in front of her eyes again. Because I have been looking at it for a long time, that face is clearer than the faces of the princess and the little brother.
Lilac swore that he must remember those blood relatives, as well as those who did bad things, and never forget it, and come back to take revenge in the future.
If you want revenge, you must have capital, not only the economy, but also connections. It is more important to find convincing reasons and entry points, and it is not possible to say that one-month-old babies have heard their plans to do bad things.
However, if you want to be a useful person, you have to wait at least until after the age of six or seven. If you have enough money and strong connections, you don't know when.
There's a long way to go.
It was still a little uncomfortable to leave that splendid house, but the joy of escaping a catastrophe and not dying was even more uncomfortable. Coupled with the joys and sorrows of her previous life and various circumstances, she calmly and calmly accepted this new pair of parents and the great change in fate.
It's just that this kind of "lying flat" days is too difficult.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the courtyard door.
Both husband and wife were nervous.
