Fragrance Returned

The booming business of Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion made all the shops nearby envy, and even angered the Shen family. It also made the government servants and gangsters who wanted to collect protection fees have their own ideas.

But seeing that Jiulu Dongjia was very familiar with the county magistrate's family and master, and even more familiar with Qian Er of Longxing Escort Bureau, he didn't dare to provoke them.

Lilac feels very accomplished. Zhixiu Pavilion is on the right track, and there is a capable shopkeeper Gong, so she doesn't have to worry about it in the future.

In March, the mountain flowers are blooming and the spring breeze is intoxicating.

Spring is the most beautiful season in the mountains, and it is also the busiest season for farmers.

The farmers nearby are even busier. Not only are they busy with farm work, but they are also busy building houses for the Tao family and the Ding family. Being busy is also fun, and there is money to be made.

Especially the Tao family, who went into the house three times, carved railings and painted buildings, planted flowers and grass, diverted streams, built rockeries, and made furniture. Dozens of people were busy inside.

There is a house being built next door to the Ding family and it is very noisy. There are five women doing needlework in this courtyard every day, plus the servants, there are people coming and going at any time.

Ding Xiang, who likes peace and quiet, made an appointment with Xia Sanfen when she had nothing to do, and led Ling'er and Hei Wa to the third room to find Ding Zhen. Instead of getting needlework supplies, she would get a book.

Ding Zhen was having sex with Xia Sanfen, and she was reading a book.

Now, she has begun to establish a talented female character again. Of course she doesn't want to be a talented woman, but she wants to pave the way for something.

On the tenth day of March, Ding Sifu's leg healed. Although he is still lame, he is much better than before.

He took two sets of clothes to live in Jiulu Zhixiufang, the county town.

Before he left, Ding Xiang told him about Shopkeeper Gong's ability, and also hinted that Shopkeeper Gong had no son and did not want to remarry in this life.

Shopkeeper Gong and Ding Sifu are both good people, and they don't have much to rely on.

Ding Xiang hopes that Ding Sifu and Shopkeeper Gong can learn real skills and how to behave. She also hopes that Ding Sifu can be grateful and treat Shopkeeper Gong well in the future.

Ding Sifu formally kowtowed to become his master, saying that he would study hard and be a master for a lifetime. He would be filial to his master and repay those who had helped him in the future.

After hearing Ding Sifu's statement, Shopkeeper Gong was moved.

She had already seen that the little master was not a creature of the pond, and the small Linshui County town could not accommodate her. The daughter follows her young master to nowhere, fearing that she will be lonely when she gets old.

If the four rich people knew how to be grateful, they would not need him to support them in their old age, and would be satisfied if they came to see themselves from time to time...

At the beginning of the day, Ding Xiang took another collection of poems from this era and took Heizi and Feifei to play in the third room.

Stopping in front of Xia Er's house, Heiwa barked a few times, and Xia Sanfen walked out happily holding embroidery thread.

Only Xie and Ding Zhen are at home in the third room. Zhao went to the town to buy things, and Ding Daniu ran to play with the little kids in the village.

Ding Zhen smiled and said, Sister Xiang, can you teach me how to read? My father asked me to learn from Sister Xiang. Not to mention someone as talented as you, I only need to know simple characters and be able to write my own name.

Dingshan felt that if the second bedroom got up, their third bedroom would follow suit. Ding Zhen's future husband-in-law will be better, and being illiterate will limit her ability to find a good husband-in-law.

Ding Qin went to school for half a year when he was a child and knew some words. But he was not in good health and did not dare to exert himself at night.

Ding Xiang smiled and said, Okay. I'll teach you how to write a few words first, and I'll give you a copy of Hundred Family Surnames tomorrow.

Under the eaves, Xia Sanfen was tying the knot carefully, Ling'er was embroidering a handkerchief for Ding Xiang, and Ding Zhen was carefully reading a few words on the paper with Ding Xiang.

Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li...

The soft and soft children's voice floated out of the small courtyard, giving people passing by a different mood.

Suddenly, a familiar loud voice sounded outside the hospital, Sister, are you here?

It belongs to Ding Lichun.

Ding Xiang was stunned for a moment, feeling like a dream.

Ding Zhen shouted, Brother Lichun.

Ding Xiang jumped up and ran to open the courtyard door.

Brother.

Ding Zhen followed closely, Why is Brother Lichun back?

Opening the courtyard door, I saw Ding Lichun, dressed in military uniform, holding a horse and standing at the door.

Ding Xiang screamed excitedly and jumped on Ding Lichun.

Brother, you are so majestic and handsome.

Ding Lichun laughed and picked up his sister.

Only then did Ding Xiang realize that there were six people riding horses behind him.

Among them were Qian Lei and Mr. Zhu who were wearing military uniforms, and Sun Yuhao, the son of General Sun Shen who had not been seen for a long time but was wearing casual clothes.

The other three soldiers were unknown.

A man in his forties, with a short beard and dark, rugged appearance. Different from the black-faced Qian Lei, this person has been exposed to too much sea breeze and soaked in sea water. His skin is dark and dry, and his wrinkles are like knife carvings.

One is about forty years old, short and fat with a fair face.

Another one was wearing a soldier's uniform like Ding Lichun.

Ding Xiang didn't know the officers' uniforms, and she could tell that the military uniforms of these two men were more complicated and better looking than those of Qian Lei and Mr. Zhu, and they should be a few ranks higher.

Qian Lei grinned at Ding Xiang and greeted, Xiang Xiang, we meet again.

Ding Lichun smiled and said, These are my top friends and are on business in Linshui County. I heard that my family lives at the foot of Beifu Mountain, so we came here to hunt together.

He put Lilac down, pointed at the short and fat officer and the black-faced man, and said, This is General Guo, our garrison master of Linshui County. This is General Qin, Mr. Qian.

Ding Xiang bent her knees to greet them, General Guo, General Qin, Brother Sun, Brother Qian, Brother Zhu,

The next few people nodded and smiled at Ding Xiang. Only Mr. Guo, who was full of authority, made a hmm sound from his nose.

The dark-faced General Qin had a smile in his eyes, but Ding Xiang felt that the smile was very deliberate and there was a coldness behind it.

She couldn't help but shudder, guessing that this General Qin was probably a pirate like Zhu Zhan's father, and had committed murder and robbery.

Ding Lichun, the little soldier, was not introduced, but Ding Xiang had a gut feeling that he was Lord Guo's personal soldier, because he saw Lord Guo the most.

Those people all dismounted and walked toward the second room of Ding's family together.

When Ling'er saw this, she hurried home to report the news.

Ding Lichun held Dingxiang's hand, Heiwa followed beside him, and Feifei flew up to Ding Lichun's shoulder habitually and stood there.

Qian Lei said with a smile, At the beginning of spring, let's take the leopard eagle with us when we hunt.

Several young people liked the leopard eagle and encouraged Ding Lichun to take it with him.

Ding Lichun didn't want anything to happen to these people, so he could help a lot by bringing Feifei with him, so he nodded in agreement.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Ding Zhuang was already waiting at the door, and asked Yang Hu to call Ding Zhao back quickly.

Invite the distinguished guests into the upper room, sit down, and serve tea.

Lord Guo's soldiers did not enter the house, but tied several horses to the trunks of fruit trees and took out feed to feed the horses.

Ding Lichun was busy running around.

Qian Lei smiled and said, It's causing trouble for Grandpa Ding.

Sun Yuhao also took out a box of dried sea cucumbers and dried squids and gave them to Ding Zhuang, saying they were from his father. Without saying it clearly, Ding Zhuang also knew that Lord Sun was thanking him for the honey-fat fragrant bracelet.

Ding Zhuang thanked him and said with a smile, Thank you, Mr. Sun. Such a big official still cares about us ordinary people.

Seeing that the relationship between the Sun family and the Ding family was so good, Guo Shoubei looked at Ding Zhuang differently.
