Fragrance Returned

Ding Zhao paid the money, and Yaren gave him the deed.

Mrs. Gong knelt down again and said with tears in her eyes, I know I shouldn't have this thought, but I still want to say that my master and I only have one daughter, Lin Ling. Please do me a favor and buy her together. She He is eleven years old, handy and diligent.

Mrs. Zhang said, Is your daughter here too?

Gong cried and nodded.

Mrs. Zhang just said that she wanted to buy a woman with skillful hands, but Mr. Ya didn't bring the younger girl out. Yaren looked at Ding Zhao again, wondering if he wanted to buy it?

Of course Ding Zhao doesn't want his mother and daughter to be separated. Besides, if you want to reuse Gong, you must show sincerity.

He nodded.

The tooth man brought out another little girl. The little girl was fair and delicate, and her face was stained with tears. She was afraid that her mother and herself would be sold to two places.

The Yaman said, This little girl is good-looking and has six taels and five cents of silver. He added, Although I am a Yaman, I will not do anything unconscionable. If I left her somewhere else, this little girl would most likely be sold to a landlord.

His words scared Lin Ling to tremble.

Ding Zhao was very satisfied with this little girl and thought it would be best to be a girl for Xiangxiang.

Ding Zhao paid the money without hesitation.

The one hundred taels of silver his father gave him to buy goods, but he only spent a dozen or so taels, and he still felt a little uneasy.

Mother Gong and her daughter hugged each other and cried excitedly, then knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Zhao and others.

Ding Zhao took Yaren to the Yamen to exchange for the slave contract. Mrs. Zhang held Dingxiang and Gong's mother and daughter sat to drink tea at the tea shop at the corner of Yaxing Street and listened to Gong's story.

The head family of the Gong family is Shen Dahu in Linshui County. They have many shops in the county and the prefecture, as well as thousands of acres of farmland and orchards in the countryside. Their wealth ranks among the top five in the entire county.

Jiusi Embroidery Shop was the dowry of the first eldest wife of the Shen family. Gong was the dowry of the first eldest wife of the Shen family. She started working as the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop twelve years ago.

The eldest wife died the year before last, and the Gong family's man slipped and fell into the water the year before last and drowned.

Shen Dahu had coveted the Gong family for many years, but he did not dare to act presumptuously because of his eldest wife. At the beginning of this year, I proposed to take Gong as my concubine.

Gong was unwilling and guessed that Shen Dahu was responsible for her man's death, so she refused to agree.

Shen Dahu refused to give up and sent Gong and his daughter to Zhuangzi to do farm work, thinking that they would naturally agree if they could not endure the hardship.

Shen Dahu's newly married step-in-law somehow found out about this and secretly sold mother and daughter together to a dental shop...

Mrs. Zhang sighed after hearing this.

No matter how difficult the life of a good citizen is, it is still better than being a slave. Even though some slaves may live a comfortable life for the time being, they will suffer endless misfortune when they encounter a sinister master.

By the time Ding Zhao got the deed, it was already turning west and he quickly drove the ox cart out of the city gate.

On the way, Ding Zhao smiled and said, Xiangxiang, let Lin Ling be your maid and serve you exclusively, okay?

As soon as she saw Lin Ling, Ding Xiang felt that this girl was smart and good-looking, so she decided to become her own girl.

She smiled and said, Okay. Your name is Lin Ling, right? From now on, I'll call you Ling'er. When I have more girls, I'll call them Luo'er, Silk'er, Dan'er, Juan'er, Sha'er...

A long list of ingredient names was mentioned.

Ding Zhao smiled happily, It seems like our family has so much money to buy so many girls.

Ding Xiang pouted and said, There will always be more. From now on, others will call daddy Ding Dahu and mother Mrs. Ding.

Everyone was happy.

Thinking of such a day, Ding Zhao's eyes were full of expectation.

The little whip flicked the cow's back, Drive...

In the future, when I have money, my family will buy a carriage!

Ling'er knelt in the car and kowtowed to Ding Xiang, I've met my sister.

The little girl is very maid-like.

Ding Xiang's chubby hand took out a silver coin from her purse and rewarded her.

Gong looked at Ding Xiang in a particularly different way.

When she saw this little girl a few years ago, she felt that she was different from other milk babies. Now he has just turned six, his eyes are bright, he is articulate, his thinking is clear, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future. Moreover, he looks kind-hearted, not cunning or unreasonable.

If her daughter follows her, she will have a bright future in this life.

Mr. Gong's smile deepened, and his slightly aged face gained radiance. I thought they were finished in this life. Mother and daughter were separated and would suffer endless suffering. There was even a hint of regret, it was time to succumb to fate.

I didn't expect to enter this restaurant again.

Mrs. Zhang told them the rules of the Ding family, We live in the countryside, there is no need to call me Master or Madam... From now on I will call you Ling'er Niang.

It was dark before we returned to Beiquan Village.

Before entering the yard, you can hear the chirping of eagles.

Feifei was angry, and very angry.

Yang Hu opened the door and said with a smile, If Sister Xiang doesn't come back, Feifei will bite off the rope and run away.

Ding Liren's voice said, If I hadn't comforted it, it would have bitten it off long ago.

Feifei had never bitten a rope before, and the hemp rope couldn't contain it at all. The reason why it was willing to be imprisoned by a hemp rope was because it didn't want to leave Lilac and wanted its little master to hold it all the time.

It got dark and the little master hadn't appeared yet. It thought that the little master didn't want it anymore, so it wanted to bite off the rope and go back to another home.

Ding Xiang quickly ran over and hugged it.

After smelling the fragrance again and being gently comforted by the little master, Feifei calmed down.

Cuckoo.

Ding Zhao wanted Ling'er to sleep in the same room as Ding Xiang, but Ding Xiang's head shook like a rattle.

No, I'm used to sleeping alone.

Gong's mother and daughter were temporarily arranged to sleep on a floor bunk in the west wing. There are three rooms in the west wing, one for Gong and her daughter, one for the embroidery room, and one for the embroidery workshop and warehouse. They will be tidied up tomorrow.

Let Ding Li come and live with Ding Liren temporarily, and then live alone after building a new yard.

The next day, Ling'er was waiting outside Dingxiang's house early in the morning. When she heard her getting up, she quickly came in to help her dress and wash her face.

When Ms. Gong saw the colorful bracelets and rich knots made by Ms. Zhang and others, she was amazed.

Ding Xiang told her family about opening a weaving and embroidery workshop and asked Gong for his opinion.

Mrs. Gong smiled and said, Sister, if you don't mind me, I will just...

Ding Xiang smiled and said, My family is a farmer, so there is no need to call it that.

Ms. Gong smiled again and said, Yes, sister wants to hear it, so I will tell you what I think. These knots and knots are very beautiful and unique. They can increase the popularity of the embroidery workshop and attract buyers, but they cannot support the entire embroidery workshop. Just like the thorn on a woman's head, it looks most beautiful and attractive,

But it is dispensable, and its effect is far less important than the hairpins and hairpins that fix the hair. It is also easy to learn, and others can understand it by taking one apart. If an embroidery workshop wants to do well, it still needs to have good embroidery, fabrics, and clothing... …”

Lilac agrees with this point of view.

She asked, Does Aunt Gong know the channels for purchasing embroidery and silk?

Gong said with a smile, To tell you the truth, I am familiar with merchants from Jiangnan, Xiangxi, Sichuan, and Guangdong. I have channels for purchasing goods, and I can also introduce a few good embroiderers. In addition, if sister is willing, I can Pay more attention to Jiusi Embroidery Workshop, that embroidery workshop will open soon.

Ding Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, What should I say?
