Mr. Zhang's excited hands trembled a little.

He smiled, "The ancestor has appeared, I didn't expect us to be able to wear tribute satin. I've got to go out and show off...... No, I'll keep it for my sixtieth birthday."

Ding Zhuang laughed and said, "Take a few more pieces, wear them now, and wear them for your sixtieth birthday."

After the meal, the three members of the Ding family hurried back.

Before the end of the morning, Kuroko flicked his tail to greet him.

Zhang had already boiled millet porridge and chopped chicken meatballs.

She hugged Lilac over, and her eyes were red with distress.

"Xiangxiang suffered, my mother made something delicious, make up for it. Liu is a clever person, how can he make drunken shrimp for Xiangxiang to eat."

"Don't blame the second uncle, I insisted on eating."

Zhang personally bathed Lilac, and after eating, Lilac went back to the house.

She took out the snake, put it with the purple gourd, and went to bed.

first had diarrhea, then lost weight, and then went to Jitoufeng, and her physical strength was seriously exhausted.

Ding Zhao went to the small kitchen in the east courtyard alone, closed the door and concocted ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum inside, and didn't come out for dinner.

As soon as Ding Zhuang got home, he went to the Tao Mansion to beg the Lu housekeeper to buy beef.

Steward Lu smiled, "Coincidentally, I just bought a pound today, and I was supposed to make dumplings for the old lady." Keep half a catty, and give half a catty to Feifei."

Ding Zhuang wanted to give money, he waved his hand and smiled, "This is my young master's confession, and he should deserve it."

Lilac woke up and noticed the difference in her home.

The subordinates called Ding Zhuang "Old Lady", Ding Zhao "Master", Zhang "Wife", Ding Liren brothers "Second Young Master" and "Third Young Master", and Ding Xiang "Miss" or "Sister".

Ding Zhuang said with a smile, "Your father said that he is an official, and the rules of the family should be established."

Lilac laughed, "That's how it should be."

The next day, Beiquan Village invited a flowing water banquet, and the cloves had a bad stomach and didn't go to eat.

Xia Lizheng was very kind and asked people to send a table of noodles to the house, and asked Xia He, Ding Zhen, and Xia Sanfen to accompany her to eat.

This treatment was previously only available to Xia Wairen. Occasionally, there is a happy event in the village, and Xia Yuan does not eat with the villagers, so Xia Li will send the banquet to his house intimately.

Xia Lizheng knew that Ding Zhuang's father and son had a gap with Xia Yuanwai, and the officials and masters came out to have fun with the villagers, so he was not good at making special things for Xia Yuanwai.

Xia Yuan was so angry that he scolded at home, but he was still cheeky and went out to eat a flowing water banquet with his children and grandchildren.

Ding Zhuang and his son, Ding Shan, Ding Li, Xia Lizheng, Mr. Li, Dr. Zhao, Xia Laozu, Xia Er and others sat at the main table in the middle.

Xia Yuanwai stood for a while and didn't see anyone invite him to the main table, so he had to go to the table of his children and grandchildren.

The villagers who felt that they had face went to toast the Ding family father and son, shouting "old lady" and "Lord Ding", and Xia Yuan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. qδ.net

He barely ate a few bites and got off the table early, citing poor health.

There was a commotion outside, and a few little ladies were eating quietly in the small pavilion in the backyard of Ding's house.

Ding Zhen, Xia Sanfen, and Xia He joked about cloves, calling "Miss Ding" one by one.

Lilac smiled, "Sister Jane is my father's niece and miss."

also called Xia Sanfen "young grandmother", which made several people laugh, Xia Sanfen stomped her feet with a red face.

Xia He smiled on his lips, but he was bitter in his heart.

Before, my father and mother said that they would find a way to tell Ding Liren, even if Ding Liren was a showman, there was this possibility.

But now that Ding Zhao is an official, and the Ding family is an official, this possibility is gone. When you grow up early, you should have set your family affairs when you were a child......

At noon on the twentieth day, Ding Zhao asked Zhang to stew a large pot of chicken soup with a few slices of Ganoderma lucidum in it.

Ding Liren sent a can to Ding Shan's family, "My father said that the soup was stewed with good tonic medicine to replenish the fifth uncle's body. A small bowl a day will last three days."

Such an instruction is to give Ding Qin only one person to drink.

Ding Shanye was overjoyed and thanked him, and immediately set up a mule cart to go to the county seat. The second brother instructed so

Tell me, the tonic inside must be good.

Lilac took Aya'er, who carried chicken soup, to Tao's house again.

It happened that the Tao family bought mutton and took some for Feifei to satisfy his hunger.

After breakfast on the 21st, Zhang and Yang Hu took Ding Liren to Fucheng. The government examination took place for three days, April 16, 19, and 21.

Yang Hu and his wife lived in Fucheng for a few years when they were at the old master's house, so they are more familiar with it.

There are nearly 200 miles to Fucheng here, and the mule cart has to walk for a day and a half.

Ding Zhao brought them two pieces of Ganoderma lucidum and instructed Zhang to stew soup to replenish their bodies before the big exam.

On the twenty-two, the Ding family set up a banquet at the second grandfather's house in Nanquan Village, and invited all the relatives from the neighboring towns to come, a total of 15 tables.

It is rare for the Ding family to gather like this, Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, Zhang, and Ding Li have all gone.

Lilac was going to class and didn't go.

In the evening, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao called Ding Xiang to the East Chamber, discussing who should take care of them if they were not in the "Baotie".

Now, they are accustomed to listening to Lilac's opinion on major matters at home.

Ding Zhao wanted Liang Zi to take care of it, "Liang Zi is smart, his brain is fast, and he knows how to do it. My father is old, and I am often absent, and I want to promote him to be the chief steward, and we are not in charge of him."

Ding Zhuang wanted Ding Shan to take care of it, "'Baotie is getting bigger and bigger, and it is better to use outsiders than to use your own people. Ding Shan is smart and knowledgeable, and if he manages it well, let him help manage it in the future."

Ding Shan is indeed good, but Ding Xiang is still reluctant to let him interfere with "Bao Tie". There are many drawbacks to family business, and it is even more troublesome for relatives to get involved. If there is a conflict of interests in the middle, on the contrary, it will destroy the brotherhood.

"Baotie" is the foundation of the Ding family, and no other brothers or relatives can interfere. In the future, when Ding Lichun and Ding Liren grow up, they will have to formulate strict rules and regulations to restrain them or their juniors.

put Ding Sifu in the Jiulu Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion, not only because he was kind and gentle, but also because the Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion was just a small dish and could not defend the Ding family.

Uncle Liang Zi is also good, he can manage it temporarily, but he can't manage it for a long time. There are slaves in this era, so why not let the people who have slave contracts in their own hands take care of them?

Lilac said, "The third grandfather is not young, and he still has to take care of his own business, so he can't be busy. Uncle Liang Zi is very good, but he is an outsider in the end. 'Baotie is the foundation of our family, and we must be cautious when taking charge of things. Transfer Uncle Bai over, he is capable, the slave contract of the family is in our hands, and the master and father will take him well. Uncle Liang Zi can be the deputy in charge......

In the end, it was decided that Liang Zi would be temporarily in charge for these two months, and when Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao came back, Bai Zihua would be transferred over to bring more with him, and he would be the big boss of the Ding family's industry in the future. I also have to buy a few more young and clever minions, and go to "Baotie" to exercise while learning cultural classes......

Twenty-four, the officials who went to Jiaozhou returned to Linshui County.

That night, Ding Zhao took Hu Chun to the county seat, stayed at the post station for one night, and took a boat to the capital the next day.

Hu Chun is sixteen years old, handsome and white, and can read a few words, and was a member of the Zhu family before.
