Chapter 167: Found It
Mrs. Sun said to Sun Mingjing with a heavy face, "Although the Ding family is a merchant, the old shopkeeper Ding has great skills, and the master is very courteous and attaches great importance to him. Today, his daughters came to the door as guests, and you dared to snub them and ignore the face of the lord and me. Go back and copy the Female Ring ten times."
Sun Mingjing's eyes were red, and she bent her knees and said, "Mother, it's her daughter's, don't you dare anymore."
Mrs. Sun ignored her, and Sun Mingjing had to go outside.
Mrs. Sun said to another mother-in-law, "Let Aunt Li copy the "Women's Ring" twenty times and be grounded for a month. Such a big person, I don't know how important it is, I chatter all day long, and the devil is stunned."
Sun Mingjing's footsteps paused, and tears welled up.
If you want to add to the crime, why is there no excuse, this is to take your anger on your aunt?
Father's courtesy and attention to the Ding family, why didn't he inform her in advance? Didn't he just want to catch his own mistakes and rectify his aunt, but also give his aunt eye medicine in front of his father.
He took precautions, but he was planted in the hands of a small businessman.
A moment later, Sun Youhao walked in with a letter and two bags of things.
He will take the autumn exam next year, and his family has specially hired a gentleman who teaches strategy to teach him at home.
Because of his acquaintance with the old shopkeeper Ding, he went to accompany the wine at noon.
Mrs. Sun read Tao Weng's letter and the gifts from the two families.
said, "He Mu is coming to the army in the New Year, and he can often accompany Mrs. Tao. It's a pity that the kid won the show at the age of thirteen, and he was the first among the nobles. I thought that our Sun family was going to make a champion, but we put pen to paper."
Sun Youhao said with a smile, "With Mu Kao Wuju, the Sun family can still be the champion."
Mrs. Sun wanted to say how Wu Zhuangyuan could compare with Wen Zhuangyuan, but she didn't say it. He also said, "When you go to Linshui County with Mu, you also go with you, and ask Tao Weng for more advice."
Ding Xiang came to the outer courtyard, and when she was far away, she saw Ding Zhuang's face flushed.
Ding Zhuang originally wanted to go to the street to see the house, but now he is drunk and dazed, and he can't see it. As soon as I got in the car, I went to sleep, and the snoring sound could be heard even by Lilac's car.
Ding is stuffy. The Zhu family and the Sun family must have done it on purpose, they drunk their grandfather, what did they want to tell the truth?
In any case, I have to tell my grandfather and daddy about my suspicions tonight.
Lilac opened the brocade box, and it was a coral bracelet. The beads are bright red and eye-catching, a little smaller than a soybean grain, and round. The bracelet is very long, and it takes four circles to wrap it on the clove wrist, and three times when it grows up.
This string of beads is worth at least a few dozen taels of silver.
The gift given to Sun Fu by his own family is a Su embroidered kang screen, twelve pairs of top-notch phoenix tail buckles, and four pairs of flower basket buckles, which are worth nearly two hundred taels of silver.
finally didn't owe the favor of the big official, and Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Before, it was to send Sun Fu a Ganoderma lucidum and a purple phoenix tail buckle, and to send the Zhu family to collect a blue phoenix tail buckle and a kang screen. Because the gifts given by the Zhu family were too generous, the gifts of Sun and Zhu's two families were exchanged.
I am not familiar with Mr. Lu's military mansion, and I don't know what he is like, so it's not good to send too expensive gifts, and I can't be too casual, so I sent sixteen pairs of top-notch Yanxia Luo gold thread hollow flower buckles, and four double-sided Suzhou embroidered fans.
When he got home, Ding Zhao had already come back and was talking to Ding Lichun.
Seeing that Ding Zhuang was drunk again, he quickly got up and served his father to go to bed to rest.
After Ding Zhao came back, he talked about the trip to the Lu family. A steward received him, presented Tao Weng's letters, gifts, and gifts from his own family, drank a cup of tea, and left.
If it weren't for Tao Weng's letter, the Lu family wouldn't even see the Ding family.
Lilac feels that this is the norm and normal.
The Zhu family treats their own little people too well, unlike the family members of the soldiers, even if the soldiers save his family.
Ding Zhao also went to two tooth shops to see, and the houses here are more expensive than those in the provincial capital.
The newer ones in the city are about 1,200 taels to 1,500 taels of silver for three houses, and between 700 and 900 taels for two houses. Those near the edge of the city are relatively new, with six or seven hundred taels for three houses and four or five hundred taels for two houses.
"Our family is just a mud leg, and Lichun is a big head
soldiers, just buy a three-entry house near the city. He will come to live with his daughter-in-law, and we will come and stay in."
According to the original intention of cloves, you should buy a good house with more than 1,000 taels of silver. It is not a mud leg, and the products of "Baotie" will have a far-reaching impact in the future. If you cooperate with the military, your big brother has a great future.
But now she doesn't want to think about this, who knows what the Zhu family means.
Seeing that the girl who liked to make up her mind didn't speak, Ding Zhao asked, "Xiangxiang, what do you think?"
Lilac said, "Wait, if you want to buy it, you can buy it." Although the houses near the city are cheap, the surrounding environment will not be good, and it is not comfortable to live in."
In the evening, a light rain began to fall. The raindrops ticked on the tiles, making the cloves even more restless.
Ding Zhuang hadn't woken up when he was eating dinner, so he left his food and the others ate it first.
The white shark came to collect the dishes and chopsticks.
Ding Zhao smiled, "The weather is not good, you go back and rest, we will take care of Lichun."
White Shark said yes.
Ding Zhao sent the white shark out, and then plugged in the door of the small courtyard.
Ding Xiang went out and whispered to Ding Zhao, "Dad, I have something important to tell you and grandpa."
I can't tell Zhang about this, for fear that she will be scared. I won't tell Ding Lichun for the time being, let him recuperate from his injuries.
Ding Zhao has already seen that his daughter has something on her mind today.
He said, "Go to your grandfather's house."
He told Aya'er to go back to the house to rest, and then went to look around the courtyard again before going to the east room to close the door.
Lilac had already lit a candle, woke Ding Zhuang up, and wiped his face with a handkerchief.
Ding Zhuang's head was still a little heavy, and he smiled, "Granddaughter is not angry, the master only drinks more here and endures it when he goes home."
Lilac didn't say a word, climbed into a chair and closed the small window.
Ding Zhao came in, several people sat on the bed, and Ding Xiang expressed her suspicions.
"When General Sun saw me, he brought General Zhu Xiao and General Qin here, and General Qin saved me and deliberately got on good terms with my grandfather and father. Due to the mistake of General Qin's son, the eldest brother happened to beg General Zhu Xiao to lead us here again.
"General Zhu said that I was like his daughter, and he and Mrs. Zhu gave me such a good gift...... How do I feel that they are getting closer to us, and we are being drawn to them step by step?"
At the critical moment, Lilac did not detour and said it clearly.
Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao were enlightened, staring at each other with wide eyes.
That's right, General Zhu said that Xiangxiang is like his daughter!
"He's here?"
He glanced at Lilac again, but didn't say anything more.
The rain outside became louder, and it seemed that there was a sound of needles falling in the house.
Lilac looked blankly at Grandpa and Daddy, who looked surprised and unwilling to tell the truth, and after a while, she said, "Do you have something to hide from me?"
Nodding again, "Oh, grandpa said I looked like grandma, and General Zhu said that I looked like Fang'er, that is, grandma and Fang'er looked alike. Could it be that grandma is not the Xue family, but the Zhu family?"
