Ding Zhao stayed in the inn for five days, and occasionally rewarded a few copper plates for a small man who talked a lot, or invited someone who likes to talk to drink a little wine.

I really heard something about the Xun family. Of course, these things are not secret, but they are extremely useful to Ding Zhao.

The four generations of the Xun family are in the same house, and the old lady Xun is still there, he used to be the emperor, and his health has long been bad, and he seems to be still paralyzed in bed.

Master Xun is now an official from the third grade, and he is the servant of the temple.

Xianxun's eldest wife, Dong, gave birth to two sons. The eldest son's name is Xun Qianli, who was born in Jinshi and is currently working as an errand in the Supervision Yuan. The second son's name is Xun Qiandai, who is a colt or a champion. Because of the emperor's appreciation, he worked as an errand in the Hanlin Academy.

Ding Zhao was very puzzled, Mrs. Xianxun was a criminal minister, and the son she left behind could be a concubine, and he was highly appreciated by the emperor.

Xun Qianli has only two sons, and Xun Qiandai has a son and a daughter.

I haven't heard of any of their daughters lost or died.

Especially Xun Qiandai, who lives in the princess's mansion, it is impossible for bad people to go to the princess's mansion to steal children if they have great ability.

Ding Zhao felt that it was unlikely that Xiangxiang was the descendant of the family.

Ding Zhao went to live in an inn near Shen's house for a few days. Dong Rulan married the second master of the Shen family, leaving only one son, Shen Yu.

I also heard some news.

Second Master Shen is now in the Ministry of Works.

Shen Yu Enyin was on an errand in the Ministry of Rites. I heard that he was not in good health, he did not have many children, he only gave birth to a daughter a few years ago and died, and he still has no son and a half daughter.

Ding Zhao's heart moved when he heard the news, and he seemed to say to someone unintentionally, "The motherless child is bitter, my eldest mother died early, and the child she left behind was choked by her stepmother...... Uh, when did that kid die? ”

The man agreed, and said, "I can't remember exactly, three years ago or four years ago." ”

Ding Zhao realized the truth and decided that Xiangxiang was the descendant of the Shen family. Shen Yu is not in good health and has no children, so he should have been rectified by his stepmother. It's not enough to rectify Shen Yu, but also to cut off people from their grandchildren.

I just don't know how that wicked woman let Xiangxiang out, and how she used her early death as an excuse to get by.

From this, Ding Zhao thought that the Xun family has a good family style, and the children left by his ex-wife have survived and have a great future, which shows that his stepmother is a good woman. And the Shen family, the family style is not good, the child who died of his mother is bullied, and the stepmother is a wicked mother-in-law.

Such a home, no matter how rich it is, is a pit. Even if Xiangxiang hadn't been lost and killed, it wouldn't have been easy in that home.

And although her own family has coarse tea and light rice, everyone holds Xiangxiang in their hands like a treasure, and she lives happily......

Ding Zhao returned to the East Chamber, and instead of going to the North House, he went to the South House where Ding Xiang and Ding Li lived.

On the Luohan bed, Lilac slept soundly.

The lights of the north house shone through, and I vaguely saw her little face red, her long eyelashes like black butterflies with folded wings, her pink mouth like peach petals in spring, and the faint fragrance seemed to be there or not......

No wonder my father said that Xiangxiang is like my mother. Xiangxiang is her mother's niece and granddaughter, and she has a blood heritage, of course.

What a coincidence!

He was able to pick up Xiangxiang so skillfully, and he must have the protection of their sisters' spirits in the sky......

The poor child was calculated by the bad guys while he was still in his infancy, and almost died.

For the sake of my father, for the sake of Xiangxiang, and for the sake of my deceased mother and aunt, I will continue to keep this secret secret.

The Dong family and the Shen family, as well as the emperor's son-in-law, all the calamities and wealth are like clouds in the sky, and they have nothing to do with their own family.

He is the blacksmith of Jiaodong, and Xiangxiang is the descendant of the blacksmith......

The corners of Ding Zhao's mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were hot. He put his hand into the quilt, but the soup woman was still hot, and his hand withdrew and pressed the quilt.

Lilac seemed to have a sweet dream, stroked her mouth, turned over and continued to sleep.

Five days later, the heavy snowfall stopped.

The second room of the Ding family invited guests to thank the villagers for their help after the accident.

The Zhang family invited Xie's and Xia's second daughter-in-law and Ding Xuan's daughter-in-law to help make the banquet.

There is snow on the mountain, and it is difficult to walk, and the Zhang family only came to Zhang Dabao and his wife, Zhang Xiaobao, and Zhang Jinshan.

Only invited Ding Shan and Ding Youcai from the big house.

There are many people in the big house, so it is impossible to invite them all, but Ding Erfu and Ding Sifu are the ones who gave gifts to the big house and helped. Ding Xiang specially asked Ding Zhen to secretly call them to the third room, and she took a bowl of braised pork for them to eat.

Ding Zhao went to invite Xia Yuanwai's father and son for the sake of face, but he didn't expect them to come.

Xia Yuanwai didn't come, but his eldest son Xia Zhong came.

The weather is cold, and the table cannot be placed outside. There were three tables in the big house and one or two in the hut, for a total of fifteen tables.

Ding Zhuang sat at the table with Xia Zhong, Xia Lizheng, Er Zuzu and several other elderly and high-status people.

Lilac and a few women and children ate in the East Wing Hall.

The task given to Ding Zhao by Ding Zhao was to watch Ding Zhuang at any time and not let him drink more.

Lilac was dutiful, and after eating a few bites of food in the east room, she would run to the door of the upper room to have a look. If Ding Zhuang dared to drink a lot, she would memorize a long section of Dr. Jin's medical training.

Ding Zhuang was managed by his granddaughter. I didn't dare to drink more, and I didn't dare to praise my granddaughter for how good.

Some people looked at it and shook their heads, how could they spoil their granddaughter so much.

Xia Zhong was attracted by cloves. Although she is a little pampered, the little girl Xueyu is beautiful, smart and clever, and the vulgar and arrogant Ding Zhuang actually raised such a good granddaughter.

Thinking about Ding Liren, who was praised by Mr. Li, the Ding family is really a good bamboo shoot.

After Xia Zhong went home, he told his father about the Ding family's treat, and said, "Dad, my son thinks that the little girl of the Ding family is really good. Or, say to be a daughter-in-law in Wenzhou? ”

Xia Yuanwai frowned and said, "Our Xia family's poetry heirloom, how can we marry a blacksmith?" That Ding Zhuang is rude, unfilial, and does not know a single big character, and his granddaughter is not worthy of my eldest grandson. ”

Xia Zhong said with a smile, "Dad doesn't know, the daughter of the Ding family is extremely smart, has a good memory, and is articulate, and a three-year-old baby is worthy of an eight- or nine-year-old child." Moreover, it is said that Ding Liren studies well, and it is not necessary that he can be admitted to Xiucai. ”

After saying that, he laughed dryly, and the most proud thing about his father was that he was born in a child......

Xia Yuanwai's face sank, he definitely didn't believe that Ding Zhuang's descendants could be admitted to Xiucai. In the past hundred years, there has only been one Xiucai and five children in the entire Gu'an Town, and he is one of them.

How could Ding Zhuang, who was illiterate, raise a talented grandson.

Xia Zhong said, "If that child is a child, it's not bad." ”

Xia Yuanwai pondered for a moment and said, "It's really not good, just tell Wenguan." Wenguan is the second grandson, even if the Ding family kid is not a middle school child, the Ding family portal will not have much impact on our family...... Alas, let's wait a little longer, I heard that the little girl has a bad temperament and is too delicate and indulgent, but she can't let her bring the vulgarity of the Ding family over to harm the descendants of my Xia family. Let's see in a few years, if the baby is really good, and the temperament is also raised, let's talk about it. ”

He felt that the little baby who was born in a blacksmith's family could be much better. All the good ones are blown out by Ding Hong's nose.
