Chapter 261: Infatuation

Ding Shan has been running outside for many years, knows the tricks of doing business, and is lively. There are many wealthy people in the area of Beijing, and the transportation is developed. With Ding Zhao's help, the shopkeeper Gong also knows some businessmen in the capital, and he can make a lot of money if he does a good job.

Ding Shan is doing it in the capital.

After buying two women in Linshui County, learning to hook things with Zhang's family, and sending them to the capital to teach the female workers there.

The cotton spinning business in Jiaodong and Huizhou was left to the Zhang family.

The Zhang family also has an advantage, that is, the women in the family spin well. Let them study and study again, how to spin better quality coarse cotton thread......

No matter what business they can't finish themselves, whoever has the ability to do it in other places, the two of them will seize the opportunity.

With Lilac's explanation, Ding Shanle blossomed, and he saw the bright future of this industry.

"The third grandfather thanked Xiangxiang for earning a lot of money to seal a big red envelope for Xiangxiang." looked at Ding Zhuang again, "Second brother, I have some silver in my hand, I still have to borrow some more."

Ding Zhuang said, "You don't have to worry about the money, how much do you need to borrow from Zhaozi."

On February 26, Ding Zhao and Ding Shan were sent away, and Ding Erfu was sent away the next day.

After they left, a group of Ding clan people came to the door to beg Ding Zhuang.

Since the development of Ding Zhuang's father and son, there have been many relatives who have asked to come to the door, but there are not as many as this time.

In addition to Ding Zhuang's father and son, who are close to several families in Beiquan Village, they also helped two families in Nanquan Village who have a good relationship. Other clansmen, a little favor, they will help if they can.

For example, if the family really encounters difficulties, they will give them between one and five taels of silver. The younger students are diligent and want to work in the "Baotie", which is no problem. If you want to be a steward or something, it depends on your ability......

If the requirements are exceeded, it will not be counted.

For example, some people open their mouths to borrow 200 taels of silver, and some people want to get their sons and grandsons to go to the "Baotie" and "Weaving and Embroidery Pavilion" to be the shopkeeper.

The words were quite imposing, "You can't write two Dings in one stroke, only we are a family."

Of course Ding Zhuang didn't eat that. I haven't seen each other for a few years before, but now I have come out and dare to make such a request.

"Two hundred taels of silver, can you afford it? Isn't this a robbery, or robbing my red nose."

"My shopkeepers are all minions of my family, are they not my family, or your family? The workshop and shop are Zhaozi, and he has already made five suits with you. I heard that there is a big official surnamed Ding in the provincial capital, who was the same family as you five hundred years ago, so it is better to ask for Zhaozi than to ask him."

The clansmen were angry and ashamed, and they only dared to scold in private, and did not dare to tear their faces in person.

You can not recognize the shameless clansmen, but you can't deny the clan.

Ding Zhuang rebuilt the ancestral hall and ancestral tomb of the Ding family with money, and promised to give the patriarch 20 taels of silver every year for major events in the clan and relief of the clansmen. He also made it clear that if the children and grandchildren of any family passed the county examination, he would reward ten taels of silver, and would also provide silver for the children to go to the prefecture, provincial capital, and capital for scientific examinations.

Lilac gave a thumbs up to her grandfather and father in her heart, and those clansmen who want to take advantage should be slapped in the face like this.

It took a few days before it stopped.

On this day, Lilac took Feifei, Kuroko, and Aya'er to the Tao Mansion for class.

On the way, he met a tall and thin student, who stood still and looked at Lilac with a resentful expression.

It was Xia Wenguan.

This kind of look, his infatuation has not been lost.

It also shows that Xia Zhong didn't mention it to his family about wanting to harm the Ding family, otherwise, they would always have doubts about Xia Zhong's death.

Lilac hasn't seen Xia Wenguan for more than half a year.

He was thinner, taller, wearing plain clothes, and he felt a little bit like a jade tree in the wind.

Facing this child, Lilac has mixed feelings.

Although this child is a little annoying, his essence is not bad, and he studies hard. But the two parents have too many grievances, his grandfather cut off her father's road to the imperial examination, his father hurt her, and the people who protected her "clicked" his father again......

Lilac didn't look at him, missed the body and walked away.

Xia Wenguan spoke.

"Lilac, I know I was daydreaming before, and I can't even think about it now

Finish. However, I still want to tell you that I can be a child and a talent, and our family will not fall. In Beiquan Village, apart from your family, our family will be ranked second, and we will not be pressed down by others."

Lilac stopped, turned back and said, "I hope your wish comes true."

Xia Wen nodded emphatically, "Yes." I also hope that your wishes will come true, and you will laugh at the hands of your loved ones in the future."

Lilac twitched the corners of her mouth, this child was too precocious. Still, he said, "Yes."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the pottery house.

Xia Wenguan was extremely disappointed, and he especially wanted Lilac to say something like "You are not dreaming, I have a heart for you, waiting for you to show talent".

She really didn't mean anything to herself, not even a kind word.

He stared blankly at the back that he had been thinking about for several years, reluctant to withdraw his eyes.

A loud voice woke him up from his musings.

"Xiangxiang."

He walked over and glared at him unkindly. net

Xia Wenguan hurriedly left.

He was carrying a large basin of clothes, which had just returned from washing from the stream. There was a long scratch on the black face, his clothes were patched but clean, and his hair was neatly combed.

Lilac liked this woman very much, and stood down and smiled, "Sister-in-law."

He approached and said, "Xiangxiang, when will you come to my sister-in-law's house to play, my sister-in-law will cook sweet soup for you."

Lilac didn't want to go to her house to drink sweet soup, so she smiled, "Okay."

Wang glanced at Lilac's feet again, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law knows Xiangxiang's size, so I'll take the time to make you a pair of shoes."

Lilac hurriedly said, "Don't bother my sister-in-law, I have a lot of shoes."

Wang smiled, "What's yours is yours, and what your sister-in-law gave is what your sister-in-law sent." The second grandfather and the second uncle helped us a lot, and my two uncles have a good future thanks to them. My sister-in-law is poor and stupid, so I can only express this little bit of affection."

After she left, Aya'er smiled and said, "The rich sister-in-law is a clever person."

Lilac nodded.

Xia Wenguan looked at Lilac and was also seen by Brother Hong in the distance.

Brother Hong's face sank like water, and his fists were clenched.

One night five days later, Lilac and the others had just finished eating and were playing in the yard, when Wang came.

Zhang also likes this pungent and diligent little daughter-in-law, and invited her to the East Courtyard.

The long one on her face? It was lighter, and there was another bruise on the corner of his left eye.

Zhang frowned and said, "Was it the Wang family or the big rich one?" It's so unlikely. Hao was forced to kill people in that house, and they still haven't learned their lesson. I don't fear retribution when I make trouble every day."

There was a hint of sadness in Ho's eyes, "Although I don't like to talk, I have never touched me. It's my good mother-in-law, and no matter what I do, she's not satisfied.

"Every day before dawn I get up to cook, and when they eat, I clean up the yard. After eating, I was busy going to the field, and I had to take time to wash and feed the pigs to do needlework. But she still found an excuse to beat and scold me......
