Chapter 312: The Main Battlefield
At night, Lilac and Mrs. Dong rested in the same bed, and the two talked late.
Mrs. Dong said about Mi Hongmian's troubles.
Mi Hongmian was married by the queen at the end of the year before last, but she died of illness in less than half a year. Dong Hongmian was said to be a Kefu, and the marriage became difficult.
Mi Hongmian was sad for Dong Ping for a long time, and after her fiancé died, Dong Ping was overjoyed and felt that she had another chance.
Mrs. Dong sighed, "You also know that our greatest hope for Ping'er is to be safe and smooth, and to have a full house of children and grandchildren. I hope she will find a daughter-in-law who is a prosperous husband and a son, and spread out more. But that wrongdoer only recognized Miss Mi, and said that she would not marry, and kept screwing with us......
Poor little girl.
Through Ding Zhi's fortune telling, Lilac can't help but believe in the proposition.
She said weakly, "It is also possible that the afterlife is a short-lived ghost, and no matter who you marry, it will be death."
Mrs. Dong said, "There is such a possibility, but we dare not bet."
Lilac was anxious for them, "Then what should I do, Brother Dong is already twenty-two, so I can't keep looking for a daughter-in-law, right?"
Dong Yiqi is decisive in handling things, but he is very democratic in some things. For example, the marriage of the son is not as authoritarian as the vast majority of feudal parents.
This is also one of the reasons why Lilac admires and likes Dong Yiqi.
Mrs. Dong sighed, "Alas, my lord and I are dying. It's such a big house, it's empty."
Lilac said, "Otherwise, when I see Master Mingyuan, I will help ask Miss Mi's life. Miss Mi is the cousin of the little monk Hongyi, and she has always cared about that little cousin, maybe the old monk will say."
Mrs. Dong smiled, "It would be great if I could really get some news from the master's mouth." He smiled and said, "The children know a lot."
Lilac buried herself in her arms and coquettishly, and unintentionally asked about the fake Xunxiang.
Mrs. Dong said, "I met that child once, she was very handsome, very talented, and played the piano very well, and they all said that she was like her father...... Of course, she will definitely not be able to compare to you Xiangxiang, you are Tao Weng's disciple. Xun Juma also praised your character painting attainments and ideas, unlike children's paintings......
"Xun Xiang was born in a clan, she is a noble girl, and she is quite favored by the saint and the queen, and several brothers of the Xun family also let her, which is stronger. If you get along well, you will have many places, and if you don't get along well, you will be far away. I don't know much about Xun Xiang, but I've heard that some noble ladies are flying high......
Lilac secretly slandered, the noble daughter of the fart, the fart was born in the clan. That fake, the father is from the sixth rank official, and the mother is the daughter of a petty official. Although the grandfather is a third-class person, the grandmother is a step-family and the daughter of a criminal minister, so she is far from a noble daughter......
She can't let it out even if she is angry. He asked, "Where's Cousin Yibo?"
Mrs. Dong chuckled, "That's a good boy, humble and polite, and polite, and he also won the show this year. The old man said that he was like an aunt, and the aunt had a good temper and was very kind......
Ding Xiang said secretly, Mrs. Dong is more saved, she said so, fake Xun Xiang's temperament should be more domineering. Ding Xiang was still thinking about whether this fake daughter would subvert the image of the fake daughter in her previous life, gentle and virtuous.
It doesn't seem to be.
Not exactly.
Lilac is not afraid of talented women or anything, no matter how talented she is, can she be more talented than herself?
Mrs. Dong said, "In the future, if there is any banquet to invite me, I will take you there, have a long experience, and hand over a few more handkerchiefs to ......
"Okay."
In the outer study, Dong Yiqi and Dong Ping were talking secretly.
Dong Yi said, "In a few days, I'll go to Puguang Temple again."
Dong Ping said, "Master Mingyuan has already rejected you twice, what if he doesn't see you again?"
"That means I'm wrong, Ding Zhi said 'nine doesn't mean' ninety-five. Or 'Ninety-Five, and this is not my main battlefield, he doesn't need to respect me. A monk is also a human being, and he cannot get rid of a person's 'vulgarity'."
"He's really gone, let the incense
Xiang is going to probe his mouth?"
Dong Yiqi shook his head, "Now that we know the answer, there is no need to do more."
Dong Ping asked again, "Ding Zhi is scared like that, will my aunt, grandfather, cousin, and Xiangxiang be afraid?"
"Except for Ding and his wife, the rest of the Ding family are all kind-hearted and smart people. Especially Xiangxiang, who is not as smart as a child...... You must respect the third aunt and Ding Zhao and his wife, your mother and I will not be here in the future, and the Ding family will be your other home."
Dong Ping knew that sooner or later there would be a day, and he was extremely sad and reluctant.
"Dad, the Liang family is gone, and no one is going to find out how to rectify our Han family's descendants. Can't you and your mother live here in peace? What you said, our Han family wants to pass it on."
Dong Yi snorted coldly, passed it on, but he couldn't even have the surname "Han". At least in the Great Li Dynasty, it was impossible for them to change the surname given by the first emperor.
But he said, "I don't worry about your eldest brother......
When he got up early the next day, Dong Ping had already gone to the Shangya, and only Dong Yiqi, Mrs. Dong and Ding Xiang had breakfast on the kang in the side house.
Dong Yiqi said, "When the family is busy for a while, Xiangxiang will come to accompany your aunt more."
Lilac promised, "Okay."
Mrs. Dong smiled, "It's not just with me, but also with you and Ping'er. When Xiangxiang didn't enter Beijing, you didn't talk about Xiangxiang less than me. Alas, it's still too quiet at home."
Dong Yi said, "That stinky boy is disobedient, and he doesn't marry a daughter-in-law when he's so old. It's better to be a girl, worry-free."
After the meal, Dong Yiqian stuffed another 2,000 taels of silver tickets for Lilac as pocket money.
Lilac knew that the silver and the fish bowl were a reward for her contribution to the overthrow of Liang Tu.
Smile modestly.
Lilac left the Feng'en Hou Mansion with a glass fish tank where fairy snails were raised. The fish tank was carefully carried onto the carriage by two male men. After arriving home, she was carried into Lilac's bedroom by her mother-in-law.
This stuff is too good to be shown casually.
After putting the fish tank away, Lilac went to the flower hall in the main courtyard. The first entrance is the flower hall, which is dedicated to entertaining guests, and the second entrance is where they live.
The whole family gathered in the flower hall to laugh.
Ding Li came to talk about the promise that Lilac gave him to worship Xun and the horse as a teacher.
Ding Zhao heard about this for the first time, and disagreed, "Xiangxiang, Xun Horse is not only a horse, but also a doctor, a famous Confucian and a genius, you made this request the first time you met, isn't it?"
Not only is it inappropriate, but some of them are big.
Ding Zhao didn't understand why the daughter, who had always understood proportion, boasted of this kind of Haikou.
Tang was happy first, but he was not happy after listening to Ding Zhao's words, thinking that Ding Zhao must be afraid that his son would be better than his son.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle, you're still a man, not even a woman. Look at the sister-in-law how virtuous and wise, she has always treated Lilai as her own son. and Xiangxiang, treat Lilai as his own brother."
