At the beginning of the next day, Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, Zhang, and Ding Xiang packed up and left the courtyard with gifts.

Today, Zhang's makeup is made with the help of cloves. Wearing a dark rose red jacquard light Luo placket, a row of dark phoenix tail buckles in the middle, a light lotus horse-faced skirt, and a long and two short red gold inlaid treasure hairpins on his head.

The clothes and jewelry are decent, and the newly listed big phoenix tail buckle is very distinctive.

Lilac wears a pale pink embroidered shirt, a silver-red solid color long skirt, a cyan belt, and a beaded hairpin on the head of the bag.

Lilac took Zhang's hand, feeling that her palms were wet and sweaty.

Lilac comforted softly, "Mother is not afraid, there is me."

Zhang looked at the little girl and felt that he was very unproductive. smiled, "There is a girl, my mother is not afraid."

Ding Zhuang was wearing a navy blue silk robe, like a boss of the underworld, and he had his own bearing.

Lilac said secretly, if grandpa wears a military attache uniform, he will be more majestic and magnificent.

Ding Zhao was wearing a stone blue silk robe, calm and relaxed, very stylish, and at first glance he was a successful and wealthy businessman.

Now some people call him Ding Dahu.

I didn't take my own mule cart today, and the Zhu Mansion sent three carriages.

Ding Zhao went to Lu Mansion and left first in a single car. Ding Zhuang went to Sun's mansion with a car, and Zhang and Ding Xiang with a car.

Yesterday, the soup manager of the Zhu Mansion asked the Ding family to send a post to the Lu Mansion and the Sun Mansion. Of course, when I went to Lu Mansion, I couldn't say that Ding Lichun's father would visit him, but that Tao Shilang had letters and gifts sent by someone.

The Zhu Mansion and the Sun Mansion were not far away, and the carriage arrived in more than two quarters of an hour.

Entering the corner gate, Ding Zhuang was invited to the outer courtyard with letters, gift lists and gifts, Zhang and Ding Xiang went to the inner courtyard in a sedan chair, and Aya'er walked with the girl from Ding's Mansion to follow alongside.

Lilac is still sitting in a sedan chair for the first time, and it is very novel to bump and bump.

The sedan chair stopped in the main courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard is a blue pond, surrounded by prosperity, birds and flowers.

At this time, the sun was raging, and the girl who led the way led them to the verandah. The birds in the cage overhead suddenly became agitated, chirping as if they were about to rush out of the cage.

The girl muttered, "Noise."

The girl at the front door opened the soft curtain and reported loudly, "Mrs. Ding and Sister Ding are here."

Enter the house and bypass the seven screens.

The girl took them to the east side room, where the flowers were full and the fragrance was floating.

There was a gorgeously dressed *** sitting on the Luohan bed, and a beautiful little girl sitting next to him.

Ding Xiang has already heard the introduction of the Zhu family, and Sun Shen will have two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Sun and Hao, were seventeen years old and came to the Ding family. The second son, He Xiao, is fourteen years old and is studying at Fucheng Academy.

The two sons were born to Mrs. Sun.

The daughter, Sun Mingjing, is nine years old this year and is a concubine.

Before Ding Xiang heard Ding Zhuang say that Mrs. Sun had no daughter, it turned out that she had no biological daughter.

Mrs. Tao brought gifts to General Sun, Mrs. Sun, and the brothers Sun and Hao, but she didn't bring them to this girl, who should not be very popular.

The Ding family didn't know about the existence of this person before, so they didn't prepare a gift for her. Later, I found out that I had four pairs of disc buckles from elsewhere.

Mrs. Sun bowed and smiled, "Mrs. Ding, Sister Xiang."

When Zhang was about to kneel, the girl next to her hurriedly supported her. Zhang bowed his knees, "The folk woman Ding Zhang has seen Mrs. Sun."

Mrs. Sun pointed to the first chair on the right, "Mrs. Ding, please take a seat."

Zhang sat down.

Lilac came to Mrs. Sun and knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Lilac greets Madame Sun."

Mrs. Sun smiled, "Hurry up, come here, I heard from Sister-in-law Qian that this child is painful."

She pulled Lilac next to her and sat down, and a girl presented a brocade box, and Aya'er stepped forward to take it.

Mrs. Sun pointed to the little girl next to her and said, "This is Jing girl, you can call Sister Jing."

Lilac got up and bent her knees and shouted, "Sister Jing."

Sun Mingjing smiled brightly, "Miss Ding, I'll listen

The eldest brother talked about it, and said that the things sold in your embroidery workshop are very beautiful."

did not follow Mrs. Sun's words and call Lilac "Ding Sister" or "Xiang Sister", but called her by her first name. also specifically pointed out the shop opened by the Ding family, which means that they are merchants, and she is the daughter of an official family, so do you want to pull away your identity?

This little girl is only nine years old, and she has a lot of eyes.

Lilac pretended not to see it and smiled, "It's okay."

I don't bother to talk to her anymore.

Mrs. Sun was already unhappy with Sun Mingjing's rudeness to Zhang. Although the Zhang family is a merchant, he is an elder, his own guest, and Sun Mingjing, as a junior, should get up and say hello.

And then to the cloves.

A hint of anger flashed in Mrs. Sun's eyes, and she passed away. Hugging Lilac, he smiled and said, "It's too polite to call Mrs. Auntie." The girl is good, delicate and soft, and it is rarer than the boy......

It's even rarer than a concubine.

Sun Mingjing saw that his mother-in-law was so elevated to this merchant's daughter, and the smile in her eyes became two points sincere.

Lilac hummed secretly, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are descendants, there are right and wrong.

Why do men have to enjoy the blessings of others, isn't it good to be like their grandfather and father?

Several people talked for a while, mainly Mrs. Sun and Lilac.

Mrs. Sun smelled the medicinal smell on the cloves and asked the reason.

Lilac said the "lost soul" rhetoric again.

Mrs. Sun noticed the buckle on Zhang's clothes and said, "This is a new product from the Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion, it looks good."

Lilac smiled, "Yes, this is a phoenix tail buckle, and it will not be officially launched until the beginning of next month. I brought twelve pairs of Song Jin gold threads to my uncle, eight pairs of large ones with long gowns, and four pairs of small ones with blouses. I also brought four pairs of flower basket buckles to Sister Jing, which are also new."

Mrs. Sun's smile deepened.

Sun Mingjing also likes beautiful buckles, and when she heard that she brought a new buckle to herself, her smile became two points sweeter.

Lilac said that the Tao Weng couple had letters and gifts to bring and sent them to the front yard.

Mrs. Sun said, "Mrs. Tao is of noble birth, I really didn't expect her to follow Master Tao to live in the countryside."

Lilac asked curiously, "What kind of official was Tao Weng before?"

Mrs. Sun said, "Master Tao is an official of the Ministry of Rites, and he is an upright and upright man, because he is ...... Some officials disagreed with their political views and resigned in anger. His eldest son was an official in the capital, and his second son was an official in Shaanxi, but he did not live at his son's house for a long time, and took the old lady back to his hometown."

The squire of this era is the second grade, and the squire is an absolutely powerful figure. Tao Weng can resolutely resign, he is not greedy for power.

Lilac liked the old man more.

At the beginning of noon, Zhang offered his farewell.

Mrs. Sun smiled, "I have already asked the housekeeper to keep the old shopkeeper to drink, and you will leave after dinner."

After eating, several people talked and laughed for a while, and the mother-in-law in the front yard came to report, "The old shopkeeper invited Mrs. Ding and her sister to go to the front yard."

Zhang and Lilac got up to say goodbye.

Mrs. Sun took Lilac's hand again and said, "Xiangxiang has nothing to do to come and talk to me."

As soon as Zhang's mother and daughter left, Mrs. Sun's face fell off.
