The entire Su Mansion searched very carefully, even the wells, ponds, rockeries, trees and other places, especially Liang Tu's outer study.

At this time, Dong Yiqi still thought that if the Su family had a hole, it must be in the outer study.

Hidden, and when you go in, you won't be seen by outsiders, and the entrance to the cave should be in the house.

But the entrance to the cave is in the house, and it is easy to be found when raiding the house, and the most hidden place has become the most unsafe place.

A thoughtful person like Liang Tu would have set up the entrance to the cave in a hidden place outside.

Suddenly, a rockery jumped into Dong Yi's mind. A few steps away from the back door of the clean room, there is a century-old banyan tree next to it. The trunk of the ancient banyan tree is so thick that it can only be embraced by three adults. The canopy is broad and the branches are intertwined.

The big tree blocked the back door of the clean room and the rockery cave.

They searched the rockery many times inside and out, but it was not razed to the ground.

Dong Yi closed his eyes and became excited.

If you set up a cave in Su's house, you will definitely set it up in that rockery.

This matter is big, and Dong Yihe must go back to do it in person.

He was ordered to come back to hand over and move, and it was impossible for him to return to Beijing alone, and he couldn't be too anxious. At this special juncture, the emperor must not be allowed to have any dissatisfaction or suspicion against him.

Dong Yiqi said to Ding Zhao, "Go back and thank Xiangxiang for me, I know." Before Liang Tu was found, there would always be soldiers guarding the outside of Su Mansion. I've been staring at the dark line, and I can't escape even if Liang Tu gets out of the hole. I will step up the handling of the matter here, and strive to leave before the twentieth day of the first month. ”

Ding Zhao went home and packed up the things that should be packed, packed them and sent them to Dong's house. Especially the fairy shell, which was specially entrusted to Mrs. Dong to take care of.

Mrs. Dong also likes this beautiful shell and keeps it in the bedroom.

She has lived in Jiaozhou for more than ten years and does not want to go to the capital. But thinking that he would be close to his son and Xiangxiang in the future, he could see each other often, and he looked forward to the past.

The Dong family and Wang Qingjia would take the Dong family's big ship from Jiaozhou Port to Jingu Port, and then take a carriage to the capital for three days.

He Hui's parents would follow the Dong family to the capital.

Ding Zhao went to Ding Shuniang's house for another day.

Hearing that Ding Zhuang's family was about to leave Jiaodong, Ding Shuniang cried.

Ding Zhao said, "I have entrusted my eldest cousin, and several of his henchmen are still here, and they will take care of you." The day after tomorrow, I will go to meet Deputy Chief Soldier Sun and General Soldier Lu, and Guo Liang will go with me......

"Your store is doing so well, you can also go to the provincial capital or the capital to open a branch. The capital has us, and the provincial capital has the Xue family......"

Now Ding Shuniang's business is very good, and she earns a net income of four or five hundred taels of silver a year, which she didn't dare to think about before.

Before, Mr. Lu didn't put Ding Zhao in his eyes at all, but this time he was very enthusiastic and had a good attitude towards businessman Guo Liang.

also specially asked people to invite Deputy General Sun and Marquis Dong. Please Deputy General Sun is an escort, and what he wants to invite is Dong Houye.

The second daughter, Lu Yubing, cried every day and wanted to continue that family affair.

Mr. Lu slapped her angrily and scolded, "You didn't do the family affair yourself, who is to blame." People didn't want you when they didn't overturn the case, but now that they are the son of the world, you can't afford to climb ......"

Lu Zongbing invited Dong Yilu, not expecting to continue to be his in-laws, but simply wanted to have a good relationship, and he might come to the door when he asked for it in the future.

Ding Zhao returned to Beiquan Village on the twelfth day of the lunar month.

Listening to Dong Yiqi's words, Lilac was relieved.

She fully believes in Dong Yiqi's judgment and ability.

After the New Year in a blink of an eye, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao began to find someone to build a tombstone for the Dong family, repair the tomb, and find the best stonemason in Linshui County.

During this period, Ding Zhuang took his two sons and two grandsons to the ancestral house of the Xue family in the neighboring town, kowtowed to the grave of the second elder of the Xue family and burned paper, thanked them for their protection of Dong Ruyue, and gave the Xue family a generous gift.

In early February, the renovation of the ancestral tomb of the Ding family was completed, and Dong Ruyue's inscription was written with the help of the famous genius Tao Weng.

Ding Zhuang took his clansmen to the mountain and went to the grave.

At this time, the early spring is steep, and a layer of new green grows on the grave, mixed with three spring flowers, which is particularly beautiful.

Lilac gave Grandma Ruyue three solid kowtows. I don't know when the next time I come to visit the grave, and maybe never will.

Ding Zhuang also led his children and grandchildren to Qiyuan Town to go to the grave of his great-grandparents.

On the tenth day of the first month of February, Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao went to the provincial capital Jeju Mansion to visit Mrs. Xue with heavy gifts.

They came back ten days later, along with Ding Liren. He has dropped out of the academy and will go to the capital with his family to study.

And brought back a breaking news.

The elders of the two families verbally agreed to marry Ding Liren and Xue Tian, and when the Ding family went to the capital, they went directly to the house of the second master Xue in Shizhou Mansion to propose marriage.

Listening to Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao, Mrs. Xue not only wanted to marry the Ding family, but also felt that his family should not repay him for his kindness.

He was embarrassed to pick Ding Lichun, who was the grandson of the head of the Ding family, and there might be a better candidate for marriage. I'm embarrassed to pick Ding Liren, that kid was a talent at the age of fourteen, and he has a great future.

He wanted to give a granddaughter to Ding Lilai, who didn't seem to have much potential, and several granddaughters were chosen by the Ding family.

The posture is very low.

The old man thought that even if Ding Lilai had so many good in-laws, his future would not be bad. His family also became a relative of the royal family, the emperor, and the Hou Mansion.

His meaning made the Ding family's father and son even more moved, and proposed to marry Xue Tianxu to Ding Liren.

This was a big surprise to Old Lady Xue.

Both sides rejoiced.

Although Lilac liked Xue Tian very much, they were still surprised that they were suddenly married.

Seeing Ding Liren's face crimson, he didn't have any rejection, on the contrary, he was very happy.

If my brother likes it, Lilac is happy.

She said, "Sister Xue is very good, beautiful, and intelligent. ”

Ding Liren's face turned even redder, and he whispered, "I just heard my sister say that she was good, and my grandfather said that she was compatible with her sister, so she was willing." ”

Lilac was touched again. The little brother is really, marrying a little daughter-in-law depends on whether he is compatible with himself.

Lilac said, "The main thing is to see if the second brother likes it or not, don't think about me." ”

Ding Liren said, "How can you not consider your sister, if your sister doesn't like it, your father and mother won't like it, and I don't like it either." ”

Lilac was speechless, such a smart and thoughtful boy didn't have much idea emotionally. She thought about Xue Tian's various good things again, and her little brother's face flushed with joy.

Ding Lilai has dropped out of school, so he is waiting to go to Beijing to worship Xun as a teacher.

Lilac regretted a little that she blew a big bull, and the child has been thinking about and looking forward to it. felt that he was already a disciple of Xun Yuma, so he was waiting to meet.

There is always a case in everything, what if Xun Qiandai does not play cards according to common sense?

That's a random master.

On February 15, the Ding family invited another flowing water banquet, and also invited the last drama troupe.

There is food and drink, and there are dramas to watch, and the villagers talk about the good things of Ding Zhuang's father and son.

On this day, Ding Zhuang sang along with the drama on stage for most of the day, and he was addicted to the play. (End of chapter)
