When Mrs. Dong was talking to Min, Lilac stared at Mrs. Dong.

Her face was much whiter and less wrinkled. Looking at least ten years younger, coupled with a gentle and intellectual temperament, she is really a beautiful woman.

She has such a big change, one is the divine ointment given by Lilac, and the other should be in a good mood.

When Lilac went to the clean room, Min was still cheeky and asked Mrs. Dong for help. Her eldest brother is the head of the Min family, and if she says this family, her waist will be straighter when she returns to her parents' house.

Mrs. Dong clearly refused, "I heard that Cousin Ding and his wife have taken a fancy to which girl...... As for the affairs of the Min family, what should be helped and what should not be helped, it is best to ask Cousin Shen first."

After Min left, Lilac praised Mrs. Dong's "beauty", which made Mrs. Dong cry and laugh.

After Dong Yiqi came back, Lilac's mouth became sweeter, which made Dong Yiqi happy.

He likes to hear that.

quipped, "Xiangxiang only saw the beauty of your aunt, and the uncle already knew."

Mrs. Dong blushed.

Dong Yiqi is still a sullen man.

Lilac bows down.

Dong Ping's frostbite is basically healed, but the color on his face is different. The place where the medicine is rubbed is white and tender, and the base place is wheat-colored, and it looks like you have vitiligo.

There was still a little bit of that medicine left, so in order to be able to wipe it a few more times, Dong Ping cleverly poured fish oil into it to dilute it and wiped his entire face every day.

The days in the Dong family are happy.

Lilac sometimes thinks that even if she is the daughter of the Dong family, her father and brother are so good.

At night, Lilac slept in the same bed with Mrs. Dong, and Mrs. Dong talked about Dong Ping and Mi Hongmian's wedding preparations. They got married on the second day of the winter month, and there are still more than four months to go.

asked Lilac to tell the Zhang family that Ding Lichun's family affairs are not in a hurry, and the good daughter-in-law has three generations of the Wang family. The eldest daughter-in-law, in particular, is crucial to the entire family......

After breakfast the next day, Ding Xiang left Dong's Mansion and went home, and went to the study again by detour.

The decoration of the study is basically completed, and the tent room, the cook, the little two, and the tea master are also basically recruited.

Lilac is too happy with the soup steward now.

Smart, lively, faithful......

If you cultivate it well, you can be your own big boss.

Lilac also discussed the "tea ceremony" with the tea maker, Chef Huang, for a long time.

She wanted to reform "Shui Danqing" and said a set of "ghost theories", such as combining tea powder with sherbet and dim sum......

Cloves call it "matcha".

At first, Master Huang didn't think about it, but the more he listened, the more interested he became, and he said he was willing to give it a try.

Matcha is first and foremost made into milled tea. Do not pursue the shape and luster, we must pay attention to the color and fragrance, the best raw materials are high in chlorophyll, that is, the color of the tea is greener, and the milled tea is greener.

After the tea is made, it is then ground into powder.

The process of making matcha powder is somewhat similar to that of contemporary tea paste, but not exactly, and it is simpler, and several simple equipment is also readily available.

In the previous life, cloves were made by Zhou Zhou, but the raw materials and equipment in this era cannot be compared with the previous life. You can do whatever you want, and you don't force it.

As long as it is green enough, fine enough, and fragrant enough, it will be.

Matcha can be developed at a later stage for Master Huang to ponder carefully.

Lilac promises that if you do well, you will be rewarded.

After the discussion, it was already the end of noon, and Lilac asked the soup steward to go to Mingyue Tower to serve a few dishes, and they ate here. Buy an extra roast duck to take home.

Steward Tang came back and said with a smile, "Coincidentally, I saw the old man and several old men drinking and eating in Mingyue Tower. The lord also saw the servant, and said that the girl would wait for him, and he had drunk and came back to the house with the girl."

After eating, Lilac went to the exterior decoration with the soup steward. A door was opened at the side of the right wall of the study, and half of the land outside the right wall was rented and the wooden floor was built.

In the future, a few large umbrellas will be set up here, and a few tables will be set up to sell desserts.

Except for the particularly cold winter, in the other three seasons, people can also eat desserts and read books here.

Outside the shop

The land is under the unified management of the government, and cannot be bought, but can only be rented. Look at the book

This street has a large flow of people, close to the imperial palace, and is often patrolled by soldiers from the Jingzhao Mansion, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and sometimes the Jinwuwei soldiers.

The voices of the two men behind him came, "See, that Ma Hong has been promoted, and now he is the deputy commander of the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses."

Mahon? Terracotta Division?

Lilac looked back and saw a man in his forties wearing a six-rank official uniform, and the other two were referring to him.

Ding Xiang knew that the Five Cities Terracotta Division was the general name of the five yamen in the central, eastern, western, southern, and northern regions, which was equivalent to the public security bureau in the previous life, and each department was equivalent to a sub-bureau.

The deputy commander is a civil official, from the sixth official.

Ma Hong is in charge of the middle city, that is, in charge of this area.

Lilac's heart sank, wondering if this Mahon was the "red horse".

Not long after, Ding Zhao's carriage came here, and Ding Xiang got on the car.

Ding Zhao was a little drunk, and when he saw his daughter pouting and unhappy, he whispered in her ear and laughed, "The girl is not angry, Daddy didn't drink too much, and he didn't talk nonsense."

When I returned to the house, we went to the main courtyard together.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhang walking around the courtyard, his forehead and nose were sweaty, and his expression was extremely panicked.

When she saw her husband coming back, she hurried to meet her.

"Master, you're back. Second Mrs. Shen just left," she looked at Lilac on the side, and said, "She, she wants to tell Lichun about her eldest brother's daughter."

Ding Zhao frowned and said, "No."

Zhang said, "I didn't agree either, and she was very unhappy." Then he said to Lilac, "Your father is back, and I am anxious to see you."

Ding Zhuang was bored in the capital, and sometimes went to Hexian to live for a few days. You can not only go to "Baotie" to see, but also drink a little wine with Dingshan and reminisce about Beiquan Village.

When Lilac heard that her grandfather had come home, she went to the outer courtyard with joy.

Zhang pulled Ding Zhao back to the house, closed the door and whispered, "Boss, it's not good."

Even the previous name was shouted.

Ding Zhao said, "Panic, what's a big deal. Then the old Min family, we are not afraid......

"Ouch, that's not the case. Today, Mrs. Shen told me about her daughter, who died in her arms after more than three months."

Ding Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, and the wine was completely awake.

"What did you say?"

Zhang said again, "Cousin Shen's daughter died of illness when she was more than three months old, and she died in the arms of Mrs. Shen's second wife, and she was as thin as a cat when she died. Second Mrs. Shen cried when she talked about her daughter...... In charge, Xiangxiang is not the daughter of the Shen family."

Ding Zhao was still a little confused, and asked, "Xiangxiang is not the daughter of the Shen family, so whose daughter is it?"

Zhang glared and said, "I have to ask you, it was you who said that Xiangxiang was the daughter of the Shen family, so I always thought she was the daughter of the Shen family."

Ding Zhao stood up and walked around the room.

After walking for an unknown number of laps, she stopped and said, "Xiangxiang is like my mother, even the body fragrance has been inherited from her old man, and she is the descendant of the girl of the Dong family. She is not Cousin Shen's daughter, she should be Cousin Xun or Xun Horse's daughter......
