Fragrance Returned

This dagger is not only the father's emotional sustenance, but also his other son...

Ding Zhao said in pain, Dad, you said you wanted to keep it as a family heirloom...

Ding Zhuang said, You can't save it anymore, so why keep it? This dagger should be sold for several hundred taels of silver. Don't say I made it, just say it was passed down from our ancestors.

The government strictly prohibited private iron shops from selling weapons privately, and those who were reported would be imprisoned or even beheaded.

Ding Zhao hesitated and said, We don't know any rich people. If the person we are looking for is greedy and wants the dagger but doesn't want to pay more, the price is too low. If we don't sell it, he will sue us for selling the weapon privately. Even if it's a dagger, It’s really passed down from our ancestors, but because we are blacksmiths, if they say that, we can’t do anything about it. If we don’t get the money, we might go to jail.”

Ding Zhuang said, Two years ago, Zhang Dahu in the county asked me to buy a good sword. I didn't dare to accept it even if he offered two hundred taels of silver. He wanted to give it to Qian Dahu, the second boss of the Dragon Escort Bureau. He said that Qian's second boss had a good collection of weapons. He also said that although he was disabled, he was the most generous and heroic.

After you go to Tang's house tomorrow, go to Longfei Escort Bureau. Just ask for money to see if Mr. Er is willing to buy it. As long as he pays enough three hundred taels of silver, he will sell it. If it's too low, alas, you'd better take it back and get another one. Find a buyer.”

Ding Zhao nodded. Longfei Escort Bureau is the only one in Linshui County. He also heard that Qian Dahu was selected as the second boss even though he had a disabled hand. He was said to be very generous and generous.

No matter what kind of person Mr. Qian Er is, he still has to give it a try.

Ding Xiang felt confident. If the dagger can be sold for three hundred taels of silver, there will not be much money left. If she continues to borrow it at three points of profit, she will find a way to pay it off when she has enough time in the future.

Ding Zhuang said, We can only raise so much money at the moment. For the rest, we can only continue to borrow and find a way to pay it back. Okay, you go back and have a rest. The sky is too late.

Lilac hung on Ding Zhuang and couldn't get off, I'm afraid and want to sleep with grandpa.

Ding Zhao also felt that he should let Xiangxiang accompany his father and said, Be good, don't kick off the quilt.

After washing, Ding Xiang slept on Ding Zhuang's big kang as she wished.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao hid all their money and belongings in the big box, locked it, and then took a rest.

Ding Xiang held one of Ding Zhuang's arms and thought about something, pretending to be asleep.

She knew that Ding Zhuang had stayed up almost all night and secretly wiped away his tears.

She also knew that her grandfather's tears must have been shed for her.

Lilac also cried. Afraid that grandpa would know, she deliberately murmured a few times, changed her position and buried her little head on the mattress to prevent her tears from flowing to grandpa.

It would be great if Feifei came back, and try to let him pick up the Ganoderma lucidum at his door...

In the middle of the night, Ding Xiang couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

She was awakened by the voices of Ding Zhuang and Ding Shan.

Ding Shan and Ding Qin heard what Guo Ziliang said about Ding Chi and came to give money.

Dingshan sent ten taels of silver and five strings of coins.

In this era, money was always equal to one tael of silver, and the three families took out a total of fifteen taels of silver.

Life is not easy for the three-bedroom family. Ding Qin has a serious illness and Ding Daniu is less than ten months old. This amount of money should be half of that family's savings.

The key is, I don’t know if I can still afford the second house.

Third Grandpa is such a good man, I must remember him.

Ding Zhuang wrote down the IOU, fingerprinted it, and repeated Ding Zhao's words, I never thank you for your kindness. Even if Zhaozi and I can't pay back the money we borrowed, Li Chun and Li Ren will pay it back on our behalf.

He also asked Ding Qin to bring a message to Mr. Li. Ding Liren temporarily stopped studying for some reason.

After Dingshan and his son left, Ding Zhuang took Ding Lichun and Ding Liren to borrow money from relatives and friends. The reason why we took these two children there was to make them guarantee that they would continue to pay back the money if their elders could not afford it.

Lilac put on some small clothes and ran outside.

Mrs. Zhang thought Dingxiang was still sleeping and everyone else had left, so she stayed in the room and cried. While crying, he scolded Ding Chi for being a harmful person who had ruined the family. If she and the head of the family die, they will die. What will happen to the three children...

Zhang has been holding on for so long, so let her cry.

Ding Xiang didn't bother her and sat at the door holding her knees.

When her crying subsided, Ding Xiang patted the door and Nuo Nuo said, Mother, I'm afraid.

Mrs. Zhang quickly wiped away her tears and came out to hold her daughter in her arms, Don't be afraid of Xiangxiang, mother is here.

Zhang's hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was no longer as sharp as usual.

Ding Xiang hugged her neck and said, Mom, we have a grandfather, a father, and a brother. Our home will not collapse. We will definitely survive and life will get better.

Mrs. Zhang didn't expect that little Ding Xiang could say these words and started crying again.

After crying a few times, she stopped, took a few deep breaths and said, Xiangxiang is right, we can get through it and we will get better.

She put the cloves on the kang and went to the kitchen to get a pancake and a bowl of cucumber soup.

After Ding Xiang finished eating, she pulled Zhang's sleeve and said, Mother, I came up with a different kind of network. I can sew those small pearls on and sell them for more money. It's better than selling pearls alone. valuable.

Mrs. Zhang didn't believe that Ding Xiang could come up with a different method, and she had no intention of doing it now.

Xiangxiang, go and play. You can't control adults' affairs.

Ding Xiang had no choice but to take out the simple quill pen hidden in the cabinet and grind the ink. The quill dipped in ink and drew a unique pattern on a piece of paper. It looked like a three-dimensional bracelet, a little thicker than her little finger, and decorated with a few beads.

The ancients liked to wear bracelets and beads. Rich people wore jade, gold, pearls, or agarwood. Poor people tightened their belts and bought silver bracelets.

But ancient people rarely wore hand ropes, and some were simple in style, just a few thin ties. Because it is simple and cheap, except for certain festivals when adults wear colorful strings for a day, they usually play with children.

In her previous life, Lilac had learned several ways to play with hand ropes, and the designs were beautiful and three-dimensional. Then add different beads and buttons to give it a unique style. If the bead button is made of pure gold or jade crystal, it can still be sold at a high price.

This unique cord lilac also came up with a nice name - colorful bracelet.

This was what Ding Xiang had planned for her own weaving and embroidery pavilion, and now she had to sell it to make money. What she took out were not only two bracelets, but also the idea of ​​colorful bracelets.

Ding Xiang looked at the pattern and said, Mom, Xiangxiang saw what you were thinking of when you were tying the knot. First use azurite and goose yellow thread to braid four tapes, and then braid the tape like this. This way of braiding is still too thin and soft, so add a few Strands, tied around the thread...

Tapezi is one of the simplest ways to play Luozi. To weave three-dimensional and thicker hand ropes, you must use thicker threads. In this era, the thickest five-strand threads are all thinner, so you can only use the threads to make thicker tapes, and then use the tapes to weave them. Add line.

Zhang was really amazed by the bracelet on the paper and praised, It's so beautiful. The bracelets can be braided like this. Can they really look so good when braided?
