As soon as the Ding family entered the corner gate, they saw Zhu Qian's elder Ma Liuhou beside him.

He clenched his fists and smiled, "The general has something important to ask my sister to go to the outer study. The old lady and the lady and the young master please go to the main courtyard, and the general and sister will come over later."

Ding Zhuang and Ding Lichun were not invited.

Ding Zhuang and the others went directly to the second gate, and Ding Xiang went to the outer study with Ma Liu with the painting in his hand.

When he was about to get to the outer study, someone pulled Ma Liu to talk.

Lilac walked to the gate of the courtyard first, and a person suddenly walked out of the courtyard and bumped into Lilac.

Lilac fell backwards with a "ahh

It was the man I dreamed of the night before.

The man said with concern, "Girl, you didn't bump into it, did you?"

The voice is gentle, and the official language is mixed with the voice of a place in the south.

The man looked at Lilac without blinking, his eyes were full of warmth, he tried his best to suppress his emotions, and his figure was taller and stronger than Zhu Qian.

Lilac is full of affection for this strange man.

She shook her head and smiled, "It's fine."

Seeing that the little girl was not afraid, the man's eyes were crooked with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth. He glanced at Lilac a few more times, touched her bag, got up and hurried away.

He also regarded himself as his own sister Fang'er.

Lilac knew he wanted to look at him twice, but he had to leave.

"Big brother."

The man paused, a little surprised.

Lilac said, "I want to tell you that you are very similar to my eldest brother Ding Lichun."

The man raised an eyebrow, "Oh, where is it like?"

Lilac laughed and said slyly, "Black."

The man didn't expect her to say this, he wanted to laugh but couldn't, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and he had to endure it a little hard.

Lilac said, "And the eyes," she said, pointing to the rising sun in the sky, "as warm as the sun."

The man was even more surprised, and said softly, "You are also like my little girl, and it is rare to attract people."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Lilac looked at his back in distraction.

To bring yourself here alone is to arrange a meeting for him and himself.

This family really regards her as a member of their family.

Lilac was stunned when Ma Liu walked up.

asked, "Is my sister okay?"

Lilac shook her head, "It's fine."

Ma Liu explained, "That man is one of the general's subordinates, and he is a bit reckless."

"He's fine."

Entering the outer study, Zhu Qian sat on the chair with an inexplicable expression.

Lilac came in, and there was a smile in his eyes.

He pulled Lilac next to him and sat down, and said softly, "Master Fan's name is Fan Jian, and he was bribed by the Huizhou Provincial Wuhu Dart Bureau for five hundred taels of silver. said that Ding Zhao offended the people in the rivers and lakes, and they wanted to buy the head of the Ding family, and then snatched the female baby of the family and sold it.

"Fan Jian's eyeliner in Beiquan Village is named Xia Jinzhong. I heard that you were coming to Jiaozhou, so I sent a letter to Fan Jian. The news of Aunt Jin has not yet come back. After he confided in him, he burned his house to death."

Xia Jinzhong is Xia Yuanwai's eldest son.

If there is an eyeliner in Beiquan Village that is not good for Lilac, the first thing Lilac suspects is that family.

Xia Yuanwai was already paralyzed on the bed, and it was said that he was still scolding Ding Zhuang for not giving him face when he was not clear.

That family hated the Ding family very much.

Ding Xiang asked again, "The Five Lakes Dart Bureau is in Huizhou, and Aunt Jin was mainly active in Huizhou in the past, will they have any contact?"

Zhu Qian said, "There must be a connection. They didn't do it before, probably because they were afraid that you would contact Aunt Jin about the matter. Doing it on the road is to push everything to the bandits. Don't go out of the village at will when you go home, I have added more people to protect you, don't be afraid."

"Okay."

Zhu Qian picked up a brocade box from the table, "I have a righteous son, he likes the sea, he likes it

Unrestrained. When I returned to Dali, he did not come with me. The day before yesterday, he came here to visit me and your aunt, and I heard that there was a little girl who looked like Fang'er, and she was very filial to us. He said that this is fate, and he must give the little girl the same gift, and let me send it to you."

Lilac took the brocade box. Thinking of those gentle and resolute eyes, I was moved.

She also wanted to send that picture to him through Zhu Qian. In this way, I will send it directly.

Lilac said, "He is the eldest uncle's son, my elder brother. If the uncle sees him in the future, he will give him such a gift. This picture was originally given to my uncle and aunt, maybe it makes more sense to send him. I'll paint a new picture for my uncle's family in the future."

Lilac placed the painting on the table and opened it.

Zhu Qian's eyes shrank, stood up suddenly, and looked at the picture with his hands on the table. Later, he stretched out a hand and stroked the person on the painting, first Mrs. Zhu, then Zhu Zhan, and finally Zhu Fang, whose fingers stayed on her face and were reluctant to take it off.

He looked at it for more than a quarter of an hour before he said, "Like, really like. The figure can also be drawn like this, like a gongbi painting, which is much more realistic. Hehe, Fang'er actually grew some meat, it's not easy, this is what I want to see. If so......"

He didn't say anything further, but Lilac guessed it.

It would be nice to add one more person in.

Zhu Qian was silent for a moment, and then sighed, "'Hejia Kangning, the wish that the eldest uncle has exhausted his life without being able to achieve, Xiangxiang has helped us realize it."

Lilac didn't know how to comfort him, and was silent.

After a long time, Zhu Qian raised his head and smiled at Lilac, "Thank you Xiangxiang, you are not only smart, transparent, kind-hearted, but also talented. Knowing what we liked, we gave it away. It is best to place lovesickness in such a form. This is the best gift we have ever received...... Oh, it's for my son, and I thank you for him.

"Uncle told you the truth, just keep it in your heart, and don't say anything to anyone. My righteous son's surname is Han, his name is Han Qi, he is two years older than Zhan'er, and he is a good boy. He will definitely like this gift as much as we do. Xiangxiang can't break her promise, and she must paint another one for us in the future."

Now I even told Lilac the name.

Let him directly take the ancestral surname "Han" to show that they are not afraid.

Open, open, open a new world.

Zhu Qian's idea was really as Ding Xiang guessed.

Han Qi is only twenty-three years old, and he looks at least twenty-seven or eight years old.

Lilac said, "Let me practice my painting skills again, and the color of the painting is more realistic."

In fact, she really wanted to say, with or without Han Qi, I remember his appearance and can draw him accurately.

I couldn't help it, it was not good to stab the window paper that Han Qi was their own son.

Zhu Qian smiled, "Haha, okay, let's wait. However, this picture will be shown to your aunt in the evening, and if you see it, you will only look at the picture this day, and you will not entertain guests."

Zhu Qian put the picture away and took Lilac to the main courtyard.

In the cold wind, Lilac was held tightly by his thick, warm big hands, just as reassuring and steady as when Grandpa and Daddy held her.
