I haven't seen Aunt Qian for a long time, and Lilac is hugged and kneaded by her.

Originally, Mrs. Qian wanted to recommend herself and be the guest of honor of the lilac "earring" ceremony, but when she heard that Mrs. Zhu wanted to be the one, she had to rest her mind.

Today's Guo Shoubei and his wife no longer have the arrogance they used to be, they are very courteous, and their attitude is much more modest.

Although Ding Zhao is only a nominal petty official in the Ministry of Industry, he occasionally has the opportunity to meet the elder of the pavilion, and even has the honor to see the face of the sky, this kind of good thing Guo Shoubei can't think of.

To Ding Xiang's surprise, Mrs. Zhu, who doesn't like to talk much, takes great care of Ding Zhen.

gave her a pair of gold and jade bracelets as a greeting gift, and asked her many questions. For example, how old are you, what books you read, what flowers you can embroider, and so on.

Ding Zhen also saw that this lady liked herself, and her little face flushed with excitement.

Ding Zhen grew up with Lilac, and her speech and demeanor are still relatively decent. Although a little shy, the performance is acceptable.

After eating, the guests left one after another, and Mrs. Zhu left Ding Zhen for dinner, and led Ding Zhen to talk for a while.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhu whispered to Ding Xiang that this was Old Man Qin asking her to help her see her granddaughter-in-law.

If Mrs. Zhu also thinks that the little girl is good in all aspects, she will ask Lilac to help take care of it, and then let Mama Wei teach her well, and say that she will be a daughter-in-law to her second son Qin Lei in two years.

According to today's family situation and money, the Qin family has thrown off the Ding Shan family for more than a few streets.

But no matter how the father and son of the Qin family were slaves of the Dong family before, even if they are officials now, they can become even bigger officials in the future, no matter how polite Zhu Qian is to them, it is impossible for them to marry the Dong family and the direct family members of the Dong family.

And Ding Zhen is the grandniece of Dong Ruyue's husband and Xiangxiang's cousin. Listening to the meaning of Hong Da, the little girl and her family are good.

If they get married, they will be in-laws with the Dong family, and the status of the Qin family will rise.

But it can't be settled with the Ding family yet. Qin Lei's alias is Brother Hong to protect Lilac and cannot reveal his identity. If you don't say your true identity, you will be suspected of "cheating marriage".

The old man will make it clear to Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao that he will take the little girl well in the past two years, and let her elders tell her to kiss her later. When the Dong family overturns the case, or Brother Hong can disclose his identity, the Qin family will come to ask for marriage.

Mrs. Zhu also knocked on Zhang's side, and Zhang said a lot about Ding Zhen's parents.

"Xiangxiang Zaohui, what do you think of your little cousin?"

Ding Zhen is the big one that Ding Xiang has seen since she was a child, the little girl has a good character, a good temper, and is very smart, the key is that the little girl has a very good impression of Brother Hong.

Brother Hong is even better, handsome, kung fu, has a great future, and has good family conditions......

If he can marry the Qin family, Ding Shan will die of laughter.

Lilac also hopes to achieve this family business.

She smiled, "Sister Jane is very good, ingenious, gentle and polite......

talked about a bunch of Ding Zhen's advantages, and promised to take her well. Actually, Lilac has been taking that little cousin with her since she was a child.

Mrs. Zhu nodded with satisfaction.

Ding Xiang went to Zhang's place again to see the birthday gifts given to her by the guests, except for the Ding Shan family and the Guo family, who gave them headdresses and bracelets, everyone else gave earrings.

Mrs. Tao is a red gold and jade buckle earring, Mrs. Zhu sent a gold inlaid Nanzhu earring, Ding Lichun and the Qian family, Sun and Mu respectively sent ruby red gold earrings, jade red gold earrings, pearl earrings, and Ding Zhen sent a carved silver earring.

Ding Liren and Ding Lilai sent exactly the same golden lilacs. Lilac listened to their discussion and wanted to send the same.

As a foreign man, Sun and Mu sent earrings to Lilac's surprise.

In his eyes, he is still a little girl, so it doesn't matter if he sends something, right?

With so many earrings, Mrs. Zhu is the most valuable, and the old lady is the most expensive, which is made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ding Lichun, the Qian family, grandfather, father, and mother sent them all gorgeous and valuable, and they took a lot of effort. Zhang also intimately prepared a pair of small silver cloves, saying that the ears that had just been pierced were suitable for wearing silver small ones.

Lilac hasn't had her ears pierced yet, and she has a box of earrings when she receives them.

The box is full of brilliance, and the cloves like it the most

But it was the little pearl stud earrings given by Sun and Mu.

The pearl is not big, the light pink is round, and the sterling silver ear needle.

Perfect for a little lady of eight or nine years old.

That bear child, looking at the backbone, is quite understanding.

Tomorrow I have to perform the "earring" ceremony, and Lilac didn't sleep well for the first half of the night, and kept turning over.

Mrs. Zhu smiled and comforted her softly.

After breakfast the next day, not only Ding Zhen, Xie Shi, Ding Shan, Xia Sanfen, Zhang Qian, Xia He, and Xia Sanfen came, but also Mrs. Tao, Sun Youmu, and Aunt Qian also came.

This is a good day for this sister, Ding Liren and Ding Lilai both took half a day off.

has already said that Ding Zhen and Xia He should have a division, that is, the person of the tray.

The two little girls were dressed up very ceremoniously and beautifully.

The reason why she didn't let Xia Sanfen, who had a better relationship, be the one because she had already made a marriage, and she gave another pair of silver cloves.

Yesterday and this morning, Ding Zhuang was cheering up Lilac, "Don't be afraid, I don't mean it hurts." Mrs. Zhu is gentle and light-handed."

Zhang's instructed his daughter, "No matter how painful it is, you can't cry, this is a happy event, and it's not good to cry."

Lilac was already a little scared, and they were even more afraid.

Mama Wei had already soaked the sesame oil-soaked thread and threaded it into the needle hole, the needle was burned with fire, and the veil was boiled with water.

On the tray, there are three fine porcelain white plates, each with needle and thread, two mung beans and a handkerchief. The things in the two trays are the same, held by Ding Zhen and Xia He.

Lilac is dressed up ceremoniously and beautifully, with a red nine-silk skirt, her hair is combed high, her hair is smeared with osmanthus oil, there is no trace of broken hair in her ears, and her fat earlobes are particularly prominent.

She knelt on the futon in the middle of the main room, facing Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Zhang, who were sitting on the top seats.

Next to them sat the elders of Mrs. Tao, Ding Shan, Xie Shi, Old Man Qin, and Aunt Qian, and the three brothers Ding Lichun, Sun and Mu and other polite people stood aside.

Madame Zhu was dressed very formally and gorgeously, kneeling next to Lilac.

She first said a few auspicious words, then rubbed the left earlobe of the clove with a handkerchief, picked up two mung beans and grinded them repeatedly on the earlobe, the strength became stronger and stronger, forming two small pits.

When Lilac felt that her earlobe was becoming more and more numb and felt nothing, Mrs. Zhu picked up the needle and quickly passed through the small pit on the earlobe and knotted the thread.

Lilac snorted lightly, feeling a little painful, but bearable.

Mrs. Zhu used another handkerchief to wipe off a little blood on her earlobe.

Went to the right again, the same operation.

After the process was completed, everyone congratulated the Ding family on having a daughter who had grown up and had a safe and smooth life......

Ding Xiang raised her eyes to look at Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Zhang in front of her, and they all looked at her with happy faces.

Her eye sockets were hot.

In this life, these three people are the ones who gave her a second life, and they are also the people who love her and her the most.

Lilac kowtowed to each of them, got up and leaned into Zhang's arms.
