Chapter 125: New Year's Gifts

Ding Li didn't go to school for three days, except for eating and sleeping and going to the thatched house, holding Lilac's little hand every day to complain about the pain.

He was reluctant to give up his aunt and brother, and even more reluctant to his sister.

Lilac listened quietly, whispered softly to help him analyze, ensure that there was no change before and after the separation, and then tell him the care and love of the elders for him.

also said that if a new house is built in the future, Ding Lilai will move to a new home with them, and Ding Liren will be as close to his sister as he is......

After three days of work, Xiao Zhengtai let go of his ideological baggage, accepted the reality, and went to school with Ding Liren.

Ding Liren was not very impatient with Ding Lilai before, and he loved to fight with him for his sister. But now I am very patient, and when I got out of school, I saw my sister waiting for them at the door, and Ding Li came to take my sister's hand first.

After this major event was completed, Ding Zhao bought the land on the east side of the courtyard and built a house in the spring.

The front and back of the new courtyard are flush with the front and back of the old courtyard, and a house like the old courtyard is built. If you want to build a bigger one, you can't have a house.

Lilac didn't think this yard should be built very big, and living here was temporary. In the future, I will move to the city, or even the capital.

Ding Lilai's 20 acres of land had to be bought in the New Year, and there was basically no land sold before the year.

Ding Zhuang was completely idle, so he grinded those honey fat beads according to his granddaughter's request.

He thought in his heart, after the beads were polished, he would polish those few safety buckles, and his carpentry skills would improve again, and then carve a small gourd for Xiangxiang.

He had already looked at the grain of the fragrant wood, and knew which direction to carve it from beautifully.

Sitting on the warm kang, and having the coquettish pretending of the little granddaughter, no longer working hard, this day is the happiest and most comfortable after An An's death.

Although it is inconvenient to do carpentry work with two fingers, it is much better than shaking your fingers to a painful point when striking iron.

At noon on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, a junior from the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop came to Lilac's house, saying that he was looking for Gong's shopkeeper in an emergency.

Xiao Er's name is Wang Shu, and he was Gong's henchman when he was the shopkeeper.

He told Gong, "The embroidery workshop is about to close, and the owner will let the inventory be sold at a low price and the shop will be sold after the year." ”

Ding Xiang rewarded him with five coins of silver, and Ding Zhuang left him to eat and drink.

The next day, Zhang went to the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop.

Gong told her that good materials such as Qian silk, Song Jin, and Shu brocade, Su embroidery from Cuiling Pavilion, Xiang embroidery from Xiangyun Fang, Shu embroidery from Xishanghe, and good silk thread from Wucheng, as long as the price is right, and then look at Wang Shu's eyes, buy everything you can buy.

That's the brand effect.

Lilac secretly said, in the future, it will add the buckle of the Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop.

Zhang bought more than 1,000 taels of silver and loaded three carts and pulled them back.

Gong went to the county seat with Zhang, and the same tent candidate had private contact with several embroidery girls.

Those few people knew that the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop would not grow, and they expressed their willingness to follow them.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Ding Liren and Ding Li came for a long vacation.

Ding Zhuang sharpened two brown beads and two red beads.

He handed it to Lilac, "Is the granddaughter satisfied?" ”

Four small beads were held in the palm of the white and tender hand, the color was shiny, oval, a little thinner than her little finger, exuding a faint fragrance. It's woody, but it has the luster of honey.

Lilac smiled and said, "It's good-looking, grandpa is not only good at iron, but also so good at carpentry." ”

She ran to Zhang's and asked Zhang to take out the box containing the beads, and picked out one large, two small and three gold beads from it, and the big gold beads were engraved with "bamboo".

She asked the Zhang family to use these three gold beads and two brown honey fat incense beads to weave a colored bracelet with black thread, which was sent to the county magistrate.

They can't afford to give away the whole string of honey fat incense strings, this kind of colored bracelet with honey fat incense beads is cheap and chic and good-looking.

As for the origin of the honey fat fragrance beads, it is only said that Ding Zhuang went to Jiangnan to buy them, which are cheaper than the big beads.

I also found a large, two, and three gold beads, which were a little smaller than the gold beads just now, and the big gold beads were engraved with "Fu".

Then use these three gold beads and two other red honey balm beads to weave a colored bracelet. Knitted with red thread, this is for the money lady.

The county magistrate must have a good relationship, and the relationship between the Qian family must be maintained.

The Shen family will definitely not be happy if they want to buy the Jiusi Embroidery Workshop to open the Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Workshop, and let the Gong family continue to be the shopkeeper. With black and white, the Shen family didn't dare to touch them.

The reason why it is made up for Aunt Qian instead of being made up by Qian Er is because Qian Er doesn't like others to pay attention to his hands.

The other four honey fat beads will also be made into two colored bracelets, one for Sun Shenjiang, and one for the person who needs to be sent later.

On the twenty-second day, the Ding family went to the county seat to give New Year's gifts.

The three brothers, Ding Zhao and Ding Lichun, went to the county master's house to deliver it. In addition to a string of honey fat incense beads in a brocade box, an incense burner, and two ornaments bought by Jiangnan.

Ding Zhuang took the cloves to Qian's house to deliver them. In addition to honey fat incense bead bracelets, there is also a set of clothes for the second master of money and a basket of bacon.

The ox cart went to Qian's house first, Ding Zhuang, Ding Xiang, and Aya'er got out of the car, and then took down the things, and Ding Zhao and the others went to the county master's house.

Not only Qian Dahu and his wife and Qian Fei were at home, but there were also five more young men and women.

The eldest son of the Qian family, Qian Lei and his wife, and their daughter, Qian Yuniang and his wife, both came back, and their respective sons and daughters were too young and handed over to their mother-in-law and mother-in-law who lived in Jiaozhou.

There is also a son surnamed Zhu.

Without waiting for Lilac to give them a gift, Aunt Qian picked her up, kissed her and said with a smile, "The villain finally came to my house again, and I panicked." ”

Ding Zhuang saw these men in Jiaozhou, and greeted them one by one, "General Zou Xiao, General Qian Xiao, General Zhu Xiao." ”

Qian Lei is very similar to Qian Dahu, at first glance, he is father and son.

Zou Qing is Qian Dahu's son-in-law and Qian Yuniang's husband. looks strong and brave, and at first glance he is a soldier who pulls out the mountains.

General Zhu Xiao is nearly twenty years old, wheat complexion, thin and tall, and handsome.

Ding Xiang always felt that he looked very serious, but he had a different temperament, which was different from the other two soldiers and Qian Dahu, and even more different from his grandfather.

A young daughter-in-law who looked like Aunt Qian smiled, "Mother, I never saw you so rare when I was a child." ”

It's Qian Yuniang.

Aunt Qian joked, "Did you have Xiangxiang and look handsome when you were a child?" ”

The crowd laughed.

Qian Yuniang stomped her feet and pulled Aunt Qian's sleeve again, which was considered coquettish.

The Qian family was born as a military general, and they didn't pay much attention to it, so they laughed together in the hall.

Aunt Qian was overjoyed when she saw the colored bracelet given by the Ding family. smiled, "Ouch, I also wear honey balm beads, which are more chic and beautiful than those big bead strings." ”

As he spoke, he kissed Lilac twice.

Qian Yuniang stretched out her hand and said, "Mother hugs enough, give me a hug, I'm rare." ”

Aunt Qian was unwilling to let go, Qian Yuniang hugged Lilac over, hit her little face with her face, and took a jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into her hand.

Aya'er came over to pick it up.

Qian Yuniang sniffed and asked, "Xiangxiang rubbed the medicine?" ”

Ding Zhuang told him about Lilac's soul when he was a child, and the Taoist priest asked him to wear pills.
