Chapter 7 The road ahead is long

Mrs. Zhang took Dingxiang's little clothes and little hat and touched them carefully. They were soft and smooth, and the seven small pearls on the hat were round and plump.

She said, "Although these beads are small, they are round and round. You can tell by the quality."

Ding Zhao said, "Don't sell Xiangxiang's things, and don't throw them away. After all, she brought them from that home. The wooden box was too conspicuous, so I chopped it up and used it as firewood."

"In the past few days in Beijing, we must keep an eye on the child and prevent her crying from spreading outside. If neighbors hear it, don't admit that we have a child at home. Just say that we also heard the crying, but we don't know what it is.

Which one is it from?"

Mrs. Zhang agreed, "Well, the washed clothes and diapers are not left to dry in the yard, but in the house. No one can enter the house yet..."

Ding Xiang praised this kind and smart couple. She was also afraid that they would sell or throw away their clothes and bags, as these things would be of great use in the future.

The small gold bracelet that Princess Princess put on her wrist was no longer there. It was a reward from the Queen's grandmother, and it must have been taken off and put on Sister Feng.

And the things she wears on her body, even if they are sewn with pearls, are just ordinary, and the princess will not notice if there is more or less.

Ding Xiang saw their blurred faces when they hugged her and kissed her. Even on a flat surface, she could see that they were all young, in their twenties.

The bride has thick lips, curved eyes when she smiles, and gentle speech. She is a woman with a gentle temperament. The new father has a big face, small eyes, round nose, and a small and upturned mouth. He looks a bit like Yue Moumou, a cross talk talker in his previous life.

.He looks simple and honest, but he speaks and acts in a very orderly manner. He is a kind and smart man.

Although they looked ordinary, their eyes were full of love for Lilac, which made her feel at ease.

Mrs. Zhang used soft old clothes to cut diapers and change clothes for Dingxiang, and then asked Ding Zhao to go to the street tomorrow to bring back some soft muslin.

The couple talked about interesting things at home and discussed future arrangements. Ding Xiang also learned some things about their family.

Their hometown is Beiquan Village, Gu'an Town, Linshui County, Jiaodong Province. The family has a blacksmith shop in the town and fifteen acres of farmland in the countryside.

Ding Zhao's mother died young, but his father is still alive. The father and son worked in the iron industry and leased the land to others for farming. They gave birth to two sons, seven-year-old Ding Lichun and four-year-old Ding Liren.

Ding Zhao also has a younger brother who seems to have a bad relationship with Ding Zhao's father and lives in the county with his wife and son.

The year before last, Ding Zhao suddenly couldn't move his left arm, which meant it was useless to the blacksmiths. They were very anxious and saw many doctors who were not sure.

When he went to the city to see a doctor, Ding Zhao happened to save an old lady who fell down. The old lady's son happened to be a doctor.

The doctor said that Ding Zhao suffered from blood stasis and qi stagnation. This disease is said to be easy to cure, but it may not be curable in a lifetime. The fact that Ding Zhao has not been cured for so long shows that his condition is serious. If financial conditions permit, go ahead.

I went to the Qianjin Pavilion in Beijing to find Dr. Fang, who was very good at treating this kind of disease. He and Dr. Fang were old acquaintances, so I could write a letter to recommend him.

Ding Zhao went home to discuss with his father, who couldn't bear for him to become disabled at such a young age. Although the family was not very wealthy, they still had some savings.

In August last year, Ding Zhao came to the capital with half of his family's savings of 80 taels of silver to see Dr. Fang for medical treatment. Because Ding Zhao could not move one arm, Mrs. Zhang came to take care of his life. While the old father and his two children

, I had to pay my neighbors to help with cooking and washing.

Dr. Fang said that with regular acupuncture and medicine, Ding Zhao had an 80% chance of curing the disease, which would take about one to two years. If the disease could not be cured beyond this time, there would be nothing he could do.

Dr. Fang is not only highly skilled in medicine, but also a warm-hearted person.

Seeing that they were not rich, they came all the way to the capital to see a doctor. They were introduced by a friend from childhood. It happened that a young medicine-maker had left the hospital, so Ding Zhao, who could move his right hand and had a lot of strength, helped him to make medicine. It was convenient for seeing a doctor.

, you can also make some money.

He heard that Zhang's stitches were fast and good, and asked his daughter-in-law to introduce him to an embroidery shop.

Ding Zhao and Zhang rented this small courtyard with only three old houses and could barely get by.

Dr. Fang is really a miracle doctor. It took one year for Ding Zhao's illness to be cured.

The couple was overjoyed. They still had twenty taels of silver left, and used eight taels of silver to buy a heavy gift for Dr. Fang. The remaining money bought a boat ticket and some things for their hometown, and they returned to their hometown the day after tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, I picked up a beautiful girl today.

Ding Xiang understood. No wonder she wanted to adopt a child after finding a suitable child. It turned out to be a well-off family. If a poor person who can't eat enough already has a son, no matter how cute the child is, he can't feed it in vain, unless he saves it and lets her take care of it.

The thoughts of a child bride.

Ding Xiang was lucky and moved. They really asked her to be their daughter, and they even agreed on the day when she would be born.

This couple was not only kind, but also able to withstand temptation. Even Mrs. He was not tempted by such a high reward.

Good people have a peaceful life, good people have good rewards, good people have their own destiny, and roses given to others have lingering fragrance in their hands... You will be blessed.

Judging from what they said, water transportation was very developed in this era. The Jingqian Grand Canal passed through Linshui County, so it was very convenient for them to come to the capital.

It takes one and a half hours by donkey cart from Beiquan Village to Linshui County Pier. It takes about eight to twelve days to get to the capital by boat, depending on the weather and wind direction, excluding extreme weather. After arriving at the Beijing suburb pier, it takes more than three hours by donkey.

You can reach the south gate of Beijing by car.

In ancient times, places with canals and docks were equivalent to places with airports or train stations in previous lives. The economy was relatively developed and it was easy to do business.

The Beijing-Qian Grand Canal here should be the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the previous life, and Qianzhou is the Hangzhou in the previous life.

Ding Xiang also wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible. She had a special constitution and was afraid that the Xun family would find her and silence her.

Aunt Li's face appeared before her eyes again. Because she had been looking at it for a long time, that face was clearer than the faces of the princess and her little brother.

Ding Xiang vowed to remember those blood relatives and those who did bad things, and must not forget them and come back for revenge in the future.

To take revenge, you need capital, not only finances, but also connections. You also need to find a convincing reason and entry point. You can't say that a one-month-old baby has heard their plan to do bad things.

However, if you want to be a useful person, you have to wait at least until you are six or seven years old. Then you have enough money and strong connections. I don’t know how long it will take.

There is a long road ahead.

Lilac was still a little uncomfortable leaving that beautiful home, but the joy of escaping and surviving the catastrophe was greater than that discomfort. Coupled with the joys and sorrows and various situations in her previous life, she calmly and calmly accepted the new couple.

Parents, and the great changes in fate.

It's just that this kind of "lying flat" life is too difficult.

Suddenly, the courtyard door rang.

Both husband and wife became nervous.

Thank you for the sunny days, looking in the mirror and putting the basket, Melanie’s reward for loving Qingquan, thank you for your gentle monthly ticket, and thank you for all your support.
