Chapter 43: Windfall

Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Ding Shuniang talked to Ding Zhi for more than half an hour, but Ding Zhi hummed, but he didn't listen to it at first glance.

Tang also rolled his eyelids and was unhappy, feeling that these people really underestimated their father-in-law and themselves. They can be prosperous, and the Xiang Guild will make money, but they are not satisfied.

Ding Zhuang was so angry that he wanted to slap him, but was stopped by Ding Shuniang.

"The child is young, persuade slowly."

Ding Shuniang brought Ding Zhi from childhood to adulthood, and felt that he was not as pitiful as his own mother, so she was reluctant to move a finger of him.

Ding Zhuang and the others got up to say goodbye.

Outside the courtyard, Lilac ran over and said, "Grandpa, aunt, the third brother is smart and can count to fifteen." ”

The people didn't believe it.

So far, cloves can be counted from one to a hundred. This is not surprising to everyone, she is a genius who can speak at eight months. But Ding Lilai is as stupid as his mother, how can he learn to count so many in such a short time.

Ding Lilai counted them again, "One, two, three......"

Counting to fifteen, Ding Zhi picked him up excitedly, "Oh, my son is capable, as smart and handsome as your father." ”

Lilac said secretly, she didn't say that Ding Li had counted fifteen flowers, and she knew that after eleven red flowers, there were still four white flowers left.

Today, if this kid breaks through the word "nine", he will automatically do subtraction within fifteen.

Tang was very proud, rolled his eyelids and said, "They all say that I am stupid, where is stupid?" Where is the stupidity? Clever. Son, as soon as they leave, we will go to your grandfather's house and tell them the good news. Eat more at his house for a few days and save food rations for your father. ”

"Okay, I want to eat sauce elbows, crispy grilled chicken, and Sixi meatballs."

Ding Zhi smiled awkwardly.

Ding Zhuang shook his head, picked up Lilac and strode out.

After saying goodbye to Ding Shuniang and the three, Ding Zhao asked, "Dad, do you say that Zhizi can listen to persuasion?" I'm afraid that the more money he makes, the more bold he becomes, and if he doesn't make a good deal, he will lose the whole family. ”

Ding Zhuang said, "When did that rebel become obedient?" You look at the cowhide that he has earned some money, and Lao Tzu can't wait to beat him to death with the soles of his shoes. It's time to persuade him, he wants to go all the way to the dark, and I don't have a way. Alas, pity my three grandsons, how can they spread such a pair of two chirping fathers and mothers. ”

If the eldest son dares to be disobedient, Ding Zhuang can beat him half to death, and then lock him in the house and not allow him to go out. But the second son, he didn't take it for a day, Ding Zhuang felt that he couldn't control it, and he wouldn't listen.

Moreover, Ding Zhi has always let his third grandson have kindness to Xiangxiang, which Ding Zhuang is still very satisfied with.

He said uncertainly, "Zhizi said that Xiangxiang has great blessings and can prosper the family, which is definitely true." Tang's face is prosperous, maybe it can really help him make a fortune. ”

Ding Zhao said, "Even if the Tang clan is really prosperous, the prosperous one is not necessarily the holding son. If she changes her husband, there will be someone else who will make a fortune. You still have to be able and reliable, and you don't have to look at the masters. ”

Ding Zhuang nodded, "In this way, that bastard must not be allowed to divorce his wife." ”

Ding Zhao was speechless, he didn't mean that way.

Ding Xiang said more clearly, "Master, if the fifth uncle is gone, I won't be able to keep the fifth aunt." ”

Ding Zhuang said uncertainly, "Xiangxiangwang family, your fifth uncle won't be gone, right?" ”

Ding Lichun said, "If my sister wants to be prosperous, she will also be prosperous in our family, and she may not be able to reach the fifth uncle." ”

Ding Liren said again, "Also, when my sister wants to grow up in the Wang family, she can't do anything now." ”

Ding Zhao's face sank, and he said solemnly to the three brothers and sisters, "Whether what your fifth uncle said is right or not, what you have to do is to manage yourself, only if you work hard and diligently can you live a good life." You must also be cautious, listen to people's advice, and not be like the fifth uncle. Especially Lichun Liren, my sister still has to rely on you to support her, rely on you to save a dowry for her, how can I think about relying on my sister to live a good life. ”

The two brothers blushed.

Ding Liren hurriedly said, "I want to study diligently and take the Jinshi exam to support my sister." ”

Ding Lichun said again, "I want to be a general...... No, work hard to make money, but also practice martial arts diligently, save a dowry for your sister, and beat up those who want to bully your sister. ”

After speaking, he also stretched out a big fist larger than his peers.

Ding Zhuang had to admit that the words of the eldest son were more reliable than those of the second son.

Lilac looked at the sky, the sky was blue, the sun was setting in the west, and from time to time a few tired birds were returning to their nests.

She will definitely prosper this family and let them live a good life.

Now she has a few plans, and she will gradually implement them when she grows up.

She is willing to be a smart genius, but she must not be an abnormal demon.

The weather is getting warmer, and it's April.

A great happy event happened in the Ding family. To be more precise, it was a big happy event that happened in Ding Zhi's small family, and Ding Zhi made a windfall fortune.

At the beginning of the month, Ding Zhi was fooled into buying a shipload of seafood at a low price with all his savings of 210 taels of silver, thinking that he could sell it to merchants from the capital at a high price. Who knew that people were pressing down the price so badly, and the temperature gradually rose, so he lost a hundred taels of silver before he sold the goods.

Before Ding Zhi left, the merchant picked out a strange-shaped conch and threw it to him, "What a thing, the smelly thing is still being sold." ”

Because of this conch, Ding Zhi returned the merchant 500 yuan.

Ding Zhi hung his head and doubted himself for the first time. Could it be that the master is really not that powerful, he really has no talent for looking, and the Tang family is not prosperous at all?

He went home and asked Don, "Before I go out with the silver, did you rub your Yintang, the Golden Nest, and the Silver Nest with lard?" ”

Tang denied, "Since Brother Zhi said me last time, I haven't rubbed lard again. ”

Ding Zhi called Sister-in-law Ji and threw the conch to her, "Brush it clean and steam it to eat." ”

Tang said in disgust, "Such an ugly conch still smells." Don't eat, throw it away. ”

Thinking of the more than 100 taels of silver he had lost, Ding Zhi's heart was bleeding. He was reluctant to throw it away, thinking about smashing the shell open, and if the meat inside was not a big problem, he would add more seasonings and slice it and fry it.

He went out to find an axe to smash open the conch, and the smell of fish was even stronger. He threw the conch meat to Sister-in-law Ji in disgust, "Take it and throw it away." ”

Tang came out and looked at the lump of meat, and said in surprise, "Hey, what's in the meat, it's still glowing." ”

Ding Zhi snatched the meat and saw that there was a pale pink bead in the meat.

He had heard that there were very few conch pearls overseas, and the conch beads were extremely precious, and the Malay and Temasek countries had also paid tribute to the emperor.

Although this bead is a little smaller than a soybean grain and not very round, it is beautiful in color, pink and tender, which is obviously different from the South and East Pearls.

Is this the legendary conch bead?

Ding Zhi was so happy that he went into cardiac arrest, kissed Tang a few times, and ran to the inn where the merchant lived with beads, smashed conch shells, and fishy conch meat.

The merchant was pleasantly surprised to see that this was indeed a conch bead.

There are very few conch beads, and it is the first time that they have appeared in the Dali realm.
