Ding Zhao and Ding Zhuang talked about returning to the house late at night.

Zhang was sewing clothes for Ding Zhao under the lamp.

In the soft light, his wife's skin was much whiter and more tender than before, and she looked several years younger, and she looked good, no worse than those official wives.

Ding Zhao's eyes were full of tenderness.

Zhang got up with a smile and took off the outer Pikan shoulder for Ding Zhao.

Ding Zhao pulled her to sit down and whispered, "I'll tell you something important, I know who Xiangxiang's real parents are." ”

Zhang was stunned for a moment, then turned around with a sinking face.

Qi said, "The master must have drunk too much, what are you talking nonsense." Xiangxiang is my sister-in-law's daughter, and if you want to sell her, I won't agree. ”

After being married for so many years, it is the first time that Zhang has had such a big temper with Ding Zhao.

Ding Zhao said, "Look at you in a hurry, Xiangxiang is also my daughter, how could I sell her." But we can't hide our ears, the family has already appeared, and they are still relatives. ”

Zhang was even more panicked, turned around and asked, "Who are they?" Her eyes bulged again, "It can't be Princess Dongyang's daughter, right?" ”

Her hands and feet were limp, and her chest was tight.

For so many days, Aunt Wei told her a lot of precautions in the capital. One of the most important is to respect the royal people, otherwise you will be punished for the crime of "great disrespect".

If it is the princess's daughter, she doesn't dare not pay it back.

Ding Zhao was amused, waved his hand and said, "Who is the princess, her daughter has royal blood, who dares to steal." ”

It's easy to be a princess's daughter.

Zhang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said in a suppressed voice, "I have raised Xiangxiang for ten years, and it hurts more than my son." At the beginning, they ruthlessly put Xiangxiang in a wooden box and threw it away, but they didn't want her. Xiangxiang is my daughter, I don't pay it back, I don't pay it back! ”

After speaking, she covered her mouth and cried, she had already regarded Lilac as her own daughter, the meat on her body. Cut off the meat, how can she be willing to do it.

Ding Zhao said, "You think it's a coincidence that Xiangxiang looks like my mother and looks like Fang'er, right?" ”

Zhang nodded, she always thought it was a coincidence, and it was also fate.

Ding Zhao said again, "My father said that my mother also has a fragrance, but it is lighter than the fragrance, and I can't smell it." I also vaguely smelled it when I was a child, and I always thought it was the fragrance of paste. Or before I went to the capital to sell rice paper, my father told me about my mother's life experience......"

He talked about the situation when he went to the capital that year, and Dong Yiqian found his home through the appearance and aroma of cloves. This year, I found out that Shen Yu's daughter was also born in the eighteenth year of Qingguan and died in more than a month.

"Xiangxiang is Shen Yu's daughter, that's right. My mother, Fang'er, Xiangxiang, they are all like the ancestor of the Dong family. And Xiangxiang is more similar and fragrant than my mother and Fang'er...... It's really a child who has eyes from heaven and picked it up by chance is the granddaughter of the second aunt. ”

The Zhang family also consciously understood, gritted his teeth and scolded, "The daughter of the Su family hates the daughter of the Dong family, and asked the subordinates to put Xiangxiang in a box and carry her out of the house, either to throw her to a mass grave outside the city, or to sell her." The Su family is so bad that they deserve to be beheaded. ”

Ding Zhao nodded and said, "Not only is that Su clan bad, but Master Shen is also confused. Xiangxiang won't have a good life when she goes back, and my father won't be able to stand it...... We are determined not to pay it back, but there are some things that you have to pay attention to so that no one can find out. It's exposed, and we can't keep it if we want to.

"After entering Beijing, I should meet the Shen family less often, pay attention to what I say, and control Xiangxiang and less contact with them...... If you accidentally meet an old neighbor or acquaintance in Qikou Hutong, you should not know it, don't say where we have lived, what hospital I have been treated...... In case someone recognizes him, just say the same name and surname......"

Ding Zhao said all kinds of precautions, and Zhang promised again and again.

Zhang was still not at ease, so he got up and said, "I'll go and throw the clothes that Xiangxiang wore when she was a child into the stove and burn them." ”

Ding Zhao didn't stop it, and he didn't want to leave any evidence. Waited until Zhang took out the small package and pulled her again.

"Don't burn it, it's a memorial of incense. We've sold her little pearls, and we can't destroy these things anymore. ”

He opened the small package and took out a small green shirt and pants and a small pink hat, which were not damaged or faded at all, just like ten years ago.

Thinking of the little man curled up in the box, looking at them quietly with clear and bright eyes, Ding Zhao smiled, "It's been ten years, and time flies so fast." ”

Zhang also smiled, "Master, I still remember the way Xiangxiang looked at us, for fear that we would throw her away again." Xiangxiang is smart, she was still a milk doll at that time, and she seemed to know everything. ”

The two recalled the scene at that time, and were reluctant to burn these things again.

The next morning, Ding Zhao, his wife, children, and Ding Li went to the East Chamber for breakfast.

Ding Zhi and Tang also came over cheekily and pestled at the door.

Ding Zhi's nose was red and swollen, and it was a bit of a match for Ding Zhuang's nose.

It was Ding Zhao who hit it yesterday.

The atmosphere was good today, Ding Zhuang didn't want to scold, pointed to the table, and the two of them ran over and sat down happily.

Yesterday, Ding Zhuang discussed with Ding Zhao that it was impossible for this rebel to deny him, so he had to be optimistic. They go to the capital, and he will follow him if he wants.

Zhang kept putting food in the clove bowl, coaxing her with gentle words, like coaxing a milk doll.

The warmth in her eyes moved Lilac.

Lilac had some guesses, maybe yesterday her father told her who her "biological parents" were, and the kind-hearted mother felt that she had been wronged and wanted to give her more care.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, they will definitely not be a virgin and return children.

Ding Xiang was very moved, pulling Zhang's sleeve and being coquettish, seeing Ding Zhuang's eyes red.

After the meal, Ding Zhuang sat on the kang with his two sons and two grandsons and talked about national affairs, Zhang took his subordinates to clean the yard, and the lights were colorful, and Tang stood aside stupidly and didn't know what to do.

Lilac went to the Tao Mansion with the letters and gifts from Sun and Mu and Tao Weng's son to Tao Weng.

Seeing the letters and gifts from her children and grandchildren, the old lady laughed and cried at the same time. The more I celebrate the New Year, the more I miss them.

Lilac suggested, "Gao Feng has been abolished, and Liang Tu can't get in the way of Master's eyes, Master and the old lady can go to the capital to make fun of Sun." ”

Children, grandchildren, daughters, and grandchildren all persuaded them in letters, and the old lady's mind became lively.

She's not used to living here. When Lilac went to the capital, she was even more lonely.

Tao Weng liked it very much, it was quiet, relaxed, the scenery was beautiful, and it was not easy to be disturbed by mundane things.

But seeing his wife like this, and having the call of his children and grandchildren, he was also moved.

Lilac pulled his sleeve at the right time and sprinkled coquettishly, "Master, I haven't learned all your skills." I didn't draw well, and I lost your old man's face. ”

Tao Weng smiled and said, "Then you can stay and continue to study." ”

The old lady smiled, "If you leave Xiangxiang behind, Ding Hongnose will knock on the door and fight you for your life." ”

An old man and a young man persuaded the old man, and the old man finally relented and returned to Beijing together.
