Fragrance Returned

Lilac went to the bedroom and closed the door.

She didn't dare to let the little girl see the fairy snail. If she liked to make trouble every day and come to her house, she would be in trouble.

Qiu Wangzhi said in the letter that the people who went to look for the Li family had returned. The four members of the Li family had stayed in Zhuangzi for less than ten days when they fell into the river and drowned while visiting relatives. Even their bodies were not found.

There must be something wrong with the Li family. They were either silenced or escaped.

That baby is not simple.

Now, we can only wait for the other two groups to come back...

Afraid of being seen, the letter was not very clear.

This result is not surprising to Lilac.

Ding Xiangman went to the main courtyard and asked Grandma Dai to bake two batches of mango egg tarts. I left Miss Qiu to eat at noon, and gave her a box of egg tarts to take home to eat.

After the little girl left, she baked a few more ovens and sent some to the Dong family, the Sun family, the Tao family, and the Mi family. He also hinted to Dong Ping and Mi Hongmian that the young monk would be a guest at home on the 20th.

The next day, Mrs. Qiu sent another basket of mangoes and six lilac palace flowers.

The woman who came here smiled and said, My old lady said that Sister Han had a great time and was still happy when she got home. The mango snacks are also delicious. Thank you, Miss Ding, for taking the trouble.

Lilac is funny. The old lady must have liked mango tarts, so she specially sent mangoes.

She took Nanny Dai to bake two more ovens and asked Luo Er to deliver them all to the Qiu family.

Luo Er came back with a smile on her face, Old Mrs. Qiu said the egg tarts are very delicious. She likes them, and my sister also likes them very much. She even rewarded the slave with six silver coins.

Ding Xiang secretly thought that after making delicious snacks, she would give another one to the Qiu family.

Old Mrs. Qiu is not a simple person. She is a princess, and she is also highly regarded by the Holy Emperor and Master Mingyuan.

At the end of the twentieth century, the young monk came, and it was still the young monk who sent him.

The young monk said as soon as he arrived, In three days, the poor monk Master is going to the Jokhang Temple in western Hunan to give a Zen lecture, and he will also take the poor monk there. It may take as long as a year, or as little as half a year. Master asked Donor Ding to make more biscuits that will last.

Master Mingyuan is going to travel in the clouds?

Ding Xiang didn't want him to go at all. Now is the critical time. If she encounters a problem that she cannot solve, she can still ask.

That old monk left at the wrong time. Fortunately, I didn't go abroad to give lectures, as that would have prevented me from coming back for three to five years.

In order to help the old monk come back early, Dingxiang decided not only to make long-lasting biscuits, but also to make mango snowballs, peach snowballs, pineapple ice cream, and peach ice cream to send to him.

On a hot summer day, it would be great to stay quietly in the temple and eat summer-cooling desserts.

Mi Hongmian arrived at early noon, and not long after Dong Ping invited Sun Yumu, Sun Yuhao, and Wang Lei to come together.

Dong Ping's rhetoric was that he would bring brothers Sun and Mu to tutor Ding Lichun and Wang Lei, who would take the martial arts exam next year.

Before lunch, Xun Yibo came again.

The people sent by Prince Consort Xun from Hu County arrived yesterday and brought several letters and a package from Ding Li.

Ding Lilai wrote a letter to Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao and his wife, Ding Chi and his wife, Ding Xiang, and Ding Liren respectively. In addition to the things he brought for the whole family, he also brought a pair of pearl earrings to Ding Xiang.

Although the earrings were of average style, Lilac still accepted his love.

It's a little funny. All the family members except Ding Lichun have written letters, why can't they write one more?

The letters written by the other people were only one page long, and the contents of the elders' letters were exactly the same. He and his two servants had already joined the Catholic Church and were studying arithmetic and Spanish with Gama Wu as students of Xun Qiandai. Prince Consort Xun had a private house not far from the church, and Ding Lilai lived there. Although I miss my family and my family, if I want to learn more knowledge, I have to make sacrifices...

Ding Zhuang and others were very comforted, feeling that the child would become sensible and grow up as soon as he left the adults.

The letter to Ding Liren is the analysis process of three arithmetic problems.

The letter to Ding Xiang lasted four pages, and she wrote a lot about missing her sister, homesickness, and crying. She also asked her not to show this letter to others.

Ding Xiang felt a little sad, that child was still her young lady.

Prince Consort Xun also brought a gift to Lilac Dan, a tortoiseshell pen holder, which was very beautiful and unique.

On June 11th, Qiu Wangzhi brought another letter asking Dingxiang to meet at Mingyuan Tea House at early noon tomorrow.

Ding Xiang felt that there should be news about Xia's mother.

She was extremely excited.

Ding Xiang is also eager to find Xia's mother and hopes that she will be okay. She was a gentle woman who really loved her little master.

She should be able to tell that the fragrance on the young master's body is slightly different from the fragrance of honey and butter, and know what other characteristics the young master has besides his body fragrance.

The most obvious are the earlobes. Ding Xiang had seen the fake Xun Xiang's ears that day. The earlobes were also relatively fat, but they were still thinner and smaller than Ding Xiang's, and they were a bit windy.

The sick Princess Dongyang didn't notice, but Aunt Xia, who served Ding Xiang every day, should have known better.

Although the ears grow as a person grows, the proportions remain the same.

Ding Xiang took a careful look at her body while taking a bath. There was a spot as big as the pad of her little finger on the inner side of her left thigh. The color was not dark, but light brown.

I wonder if there are any marks in other invisible places.

If Grandma Xia was careful, she should have noticed it, but I wonder if she still remembers it now.

The next day, Ding Xiang still went to the study for a walk, and then took the girl to Mingyuan Tea House.

The sun was very bright, Luo Er held an umbrella for her, and Ling Er fanned her at the side, but Ding Xiang still broke out a thin layer of sweat.

After reaching the third floor, Ding Xiang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead and face.

This time Qiu Wangzhi arrived first and was already sitting in the room drinking tea.

Ding Xiang walked in and asked the girl to guard the door.

Qiu Wangzhi was wearing official uniform, with his sword on the table, and his face was stern.

Lilac brings a nice fragrance as soon as it comes in.

Qiu Wangzhi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

A flash of doubt suddenly flashed in his mind, and it was fleeting.

He shook his head, but still didn't catch it.

He had no choice but to pour a cup of tea for Ding Xiang and said softly, Xia Er's wife was found in Zhuangzi, Liaozhou, but she... is blind.

Ding Xiang's heart sank, Are you blind?

Yes. Of the two people who went, one stayed there to protect her secretly, and the other came back to deliver a message to me. The fact that Xia Er's family was not killed means that the matter involved was not deep. The blindness means that someone is not willing to let her go. See something.”

Qiu Wangzhi stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the room.

Then he stood down and said, There must be a problem here, a big problem. My intuition is that this is a shocking case. After I finish another case, I will set off to Liaozhou, interrogate her personally, and then bring her back to Beijing secretly.

Lilac is a mixed blessing. Xia's mother was blinded, which was an unreasonable disaster. Fortunately, she is still alive, can hear and speak, and is a powerful witness.

When she comes to the capital, go and see her.

In the future, I will provide for her in her old age.

Qiu Wangzhi said again, I would like to ask Feifei to do a favor and take him to the bank of the Tongxian Canal. We will start tomorrow. Miss Ding, can you ask a man from your family to take Feifei with me? I will return to Beijing in the morning the day after tomorrow. .”
