Lilac looked at the fence wall next to Tao Weng, and a poem floated in his mind: Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan.

This image is somewhat like Tao Yuanming in the history of the previous life.

The old lady was nearly sixty years old, with a pale face and a slightly chubby face, and kind eyebrows. She was dressed very low-key, with a ginger dark silk gown, only a hosta on her head, and a string of wooden beads on her wrist.

Today's Lilac has learned many luxury goods with Shopkeeper Gong. She could see that the old lady was low-key luxury. The clothes are fragrant cloud yarn, the hosta is the best mutton fat jade, and the wood beads are red honey butter incense.

The old lady's taste is at the opposite end of the spectrum. According to this dress, she would not be willing to follow Tao Weng to settle in the countryside.

But looking at the old lady's expression, her eyes were peaceful, and she didn't dislike the appearance of this place at all. Tao Weng laughed and beckoned to them.

Lilac pulled Ding Zhen and walked over.

Tao Weng smiled at Lilac, "You are Ding Zhuang's granddaughter, Lilac?"

Such a good talent, you don't need to guess to know that it is Ding Zhuang's granddaughter. Before he came to Beiquan Village, the people in the family had already inquired about the situation in the village.

Lilac let go of Ding Zhen's hand, bent her knees and saluted, "Tao Weng, old lady, I'm Lilac."

In modern times, it is rude to call someone "old lady" in front of an old lady, but in ancient times it was considered an honorific title.

Ding Zhen also hurriedly bent his knees and saluted, "Tao Weng, old lady, I am Ding Zhen, the sister of Sister Xiang."

Mrs. Tao boasted, "What two beautiful girls."

Tao Weng glanced at Ding Zhen and nodded, and his eyes moved to Ding Xiang again. He asked, "They say you like to read, what books have you read?"

Ding Xiang always wanted to attract Tao Weng's attention, but he was not modest, and said a long list of books that Ding Liren had read.

"So many?" Tao Weng was surprised.

Ding Zhen was bold enough to say, "Sister Xiang is good at studying, and Danqing is also good. The second grandfather said that if a woman can conduct scientific research in the dynasty, Sister Xiang will definitely be able to win the female champion."

Lilac blushed, smirked a few times and said modestly, "My grandfather said to play, I'm not that good."

This is a jinshi, how can he get an axe.

Tao Weng took a short passage from the "University", "Analects" and "Book of Songs" for Lilac to recite and analyze.

Lilac recited smoothly and parsed it out in a modest.

Although the analysis is not perfect, such a small girl is so articulate and generous, which makes Tao Weng like and appreciate it very much.

There can be such a little girl in the countryside.

This child is as talented as Sihai and Mu'er, and it would be nice if it was a boy.

Tao Weng asked about the nearby scenery, although he had lived here for a few years, he was immersed in study, and he was not familiar with this place at all.

Lilac pointed to Beifu Mountain and Nanfu Mountain to introduce it, and also introduced how picturesque the mountains of her grandfather's house were, and even talked about what special snacks there were in Gu'an Town.

Tao Weng was very happy, and thought that this little girl was more interesting than everyone here.

A girl came up and said, "Tao Weng, old lady, the medicine is boiled, the old lady should go back and take the medicine."

Tao Weng said to Lilac, "The little girl is not very old, but she talks with the old man very happily, and we are also friends who have forgotten the year, and often come to my house to talk to the old man and the old woman in the future."

Finally invited, lilacs are as happy as little flowers blooming on the side of the road.

She smiled honorably and asked, "What do you mean by this, that I've become your little friend?"

Tao Weng nodded.

Lilac smiled again, "I'll definitely visit Tao Weng and the old lady another day."

Mrs. Tao smiled and said, "Zhen girl is also a well-behaved girl, and she will accompany the old woman to relieve her boredom with the fragrant girl."

Ding Zhen's little head is like a chicken cutting rice.

Looking at their backs, Lilac was very pleased.

Is your relationship with them connected?

In her sixties, the old man of this age was still dancing square dancing in his previous life, but the old lady's health did not seem to be very good, she would cough a few times from time to time, and she had some difficulty walking. Tao Weng

didn't let the girl help, but helped his wife by himself and walked forward with staggering steps.

It is enviable to support each other in their twilight years.

Such an old age life makes Ding Xiang envious, which is what Ding Zhuang's grandfather has been asking for all his life.

On the way back, Ding Zhen said, "I heard people talk in private, looking at Tao Weng's dress, his official will not be very big. Seeing them today, really. Tao Weng wore a cloth robe, and the old lady wore only a string of wooden beads, not even a silver bracelet."

Lilac smiled, "A good wooden rosary is worth more than jade bracelets and gold bracelets, not to mention silver bracelets."

Ding Zhen's boudoir has undergone new changes, the teacup on the table has been replaced with blue and white porcelain, and a wooden flower stand has been added, a basin of narcissus has been placed on it, and the quilt mattress has been replaced with silk.

Ding Zhen smiled brightly, "My grandfather bought it. He said that Sister Xiang should use the best at home, and I should use the best at home. He also said, "Those who eat well and go to school are close to my brother, and those who are good to wear and use are close to me."

Ding Shan is becoming more and more like Ding Zhuang, and when he has money, he wants to spend it on his granddaughter.

Little Nizi is blessed.

Ding's cloth village business is very good, the purchase channels are smooth, the quality is guaranteed, and the Gong shopkeeper will also introduce guests to them. And because he is Ding Hongnose's younger brother, the ruffians and hooligans don't dare to provoke him.

Ding Zhao repaid ten to fifteen taels of silver every month, and the life of the family was very good.

Now his family is in front of Jiang Tofu.

Ding Zhen took out the things that Ding Shan gave her and put them on the table one by one.

Lilac opened the book, taught Ding Zhen to read the poem, and explained the meaning of the poem. I wrote a few big words on a piece of paper and taught her to write one stroke at a time.

Two soft children's voices floated out of the small window, making Xie squint with a smile.

Xie Shiliu Lilac eats rice at home, "Today I went to the town to buy Liangpier, the brown sugar mung bean soup has been in the well, and I also made fried eggs with minced meat and leeks."

Ding Zhen said, "Liangpi'er should add more shredded courgette and vinegar."

When Lilac heard this, she wanted to eat it, so she asked Aya'er to go back and talk to Zhang.

Xie Shi instructed again, "Aya'er will come back quickly after she has spoken, and I will also do your share."

Aya'er smiled and thanked her.

After dinner, Ding Zhen proposed to go to Brother Hong to buy lanterns.

"I like lotus lanterns."

Lilac didn't think about buying lanterns, but seeing that Ding Zhen was full of interest, she agreed to buy them together.

Ding Zhen opened the cabinet and took the private money. In the small box, there were two small silver horns, about more than 100 yuan.

She took fifty dollars and came out.

Lilac quipped, "Sister Jane has a bit of a family."

Ding Zhen smiled and narrowed her eyes again.

The two went hand in hand to buy lanterns.

Aya'er reminded, "There are only three men living in that house, and the two sisters are buying them at the door, don't go in."

Ding Zhen said, "We know."

Ding Youshou's small courtyard is behind Lilac's house, more than fifty steps away. Standing here, you can clearly see the trees, pavilion and roof of Lilac's backyard.
