Chapter 177 Good Man
A few people chatted for a while, and then they talked about Zhu Fang.
When Mrs. Zhu was pregnant with Zhu Fang, Zhu Qian was still working as a pirate.
Zhu Qian happened to take people out to sea. They promised to return in three to four months, but when the time came, they didn't return. At that time, there was a fierce hurricane at sea, and many people who went to sea were dead.
Mrs. Zhu worried day and night that she would give birth to her child prematurely in less than eight months. The child weighs less than four pounds and is very weak. There is no good doctor on the island, so you can’t get good treatment.
She didn't sit well during confinement, and she suffered a loss of health.
Later, a doctor who was good at pediatrics was arrested and brought to the island. The doctor said that the child had not grown well in the fetus and was born with deficiencies, so he might not be able to grow up.
Mrs. Zhu was heartbroken. She felt that she had harmed the child, and if she had been more open-minded, the child would not have been like this.
The biggest reason why Zhu Qian agreed to the court's recruitment was that he wanted his family to live in a good environment, stop worrying, and let his daughter grow up safely.
Mrs. Zhu took two-year-old Zhu Fang and ten-year-old Zhu Zhan into the city first, looking for the best doctor to treat her daughter, and agreed that Zhu Qian would surrender after finishing his last job.
But Zhu Fang's little body was already dry, and she was still like a kitten at the age of two. Calling in multiple doctors was of no avail.
"Fang'er is very beautiful and smart. When she is less than one year old, she can call her 'daddy', 'mother' and 'brother'. No one dislikes her. She is also very filial and will call me "dad" when she sees me crying. Wipe away tears and say, "Mother, don't cry."
"The day before my master came back, Fang'er left. The master took Fang'er out of the coffin and cried uncontrollably. I have been married to him for so many years, and he never shed tears no matter how difficult it was, but he cried that time You have to be like a child..."
Mrs. Zhu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried. The husband is crying not only for his poor daughter, but also for the even more difficult road ahead.
Zhang and Ding Xiang both shed tears, and several servants also cried together.
A mother-in-law advised, "My condolences, madam. I am so beautiful. She must be the reincarnation of the Flower God. She came to earth to experience for three years and then returned to heaven to enjoy blessings."
Thinking of her daughter's strange fragrance, Mrs. Zhu also believed that her daughter was the reincarnation of the flower god. She would feel better only if she thought of her daughter as the Goddess of Flowers, going to heaven to enjoy blessings.
She looked at Ding Xiang. Except that she was much fatter and bigger, her facial features looked very much like Fang'er's. Especially the aroma, even if it was masked by a strong medicinal smell, she could still smell it... However, the master was right, this child's earlobes were extremely thick and he was blessed.
In the future, life will be much easier if I have this little person by my side occasionally.
She did not dare to think that she would be with her child all the time. Her husband said that it would be safest for the child to stay in the country.
Mrs. Zhu held Ding Xiang’s little hand, which was white, soft, fleshy, and had several small dimples. And Fang'er's little hands were as thin as paper...
Ding Xiang acted coquettishly and acted like a fool, which made Mrs. Zhu gradually become happy.
After lunch, Ms. Zhang took her leave, saying that she would come back to accompany Mrs. Zhu to relieve her boredom after lunch.
Mrs. Zhu was reluctant to let Ding Xiang go back and let her sleep in the warm pavilion. She also asked Mrs. Zhang to spend time with her son and there was no need to come here in the afternoon.
Zhang had no choice but to go back by herself.
In the afternoon, Ding Xiang and Mrs. Zhu leaned on the pillow and whispered. The embroiderer came again to measure Lilac and wanted to make clothes and shoes for her.
When Ding Xiang returned to the guest room after dinner, Ling'er held a purse with an enamel pendant in her hand.
Enamel sounds fancy, but it is actually enamel that was common in previous generations. Every household has this kind of daily product. But now, this thing is imported and worth a lot of money.
I heard that some people in the Li Dynasty had already started trying to make enamel.
After a while, the Ding family lived in Zhu's house for more than ten days, and Ding Xiang went to accompany Mrs. Zhu every day to relieve her boredom. Zhang excused herself to take care of her son and asked Ding Xiang to go alone.
Ding Xiang rested in the main courtyard every day, and sometimes Mrs. Zhu would stay with her at night. I let her sleep in the loft for the first few days, and then slept in the same bed with her for the next few days.
Zhu Qian and his son were both cold and silent. It was uncomfortable for Mrs. Zhu to be alone when she was not at home, and they didn't talk much at home.
But this little girl is like a talkative, and she can talk a lot. She often makes Mrs. Zhu laugh with just a few words. In addition to her special life experience and unique fragrance, Mrs. Zhu felt a little better knowing that the big things her husband had been planning would be easier to realize because of this child.
Perhaps she was in a happy mood, or perhaps because she ate that piece of ginseng, Mrs. Zhu felt much better and her face became rosier.
This made several servants very happy, and they served Ding Xiang even more diligently.
Ding Xiang also became very familiar with several servants in the main courtyard.
Aunt Wei and Aunt Chai were both brought here from the island. Swallows, seagulls, orioles, and turtledoves, these girls’ parents also came here from the island, and they are absolutely confidants.
Ding Xiang's favorite joke is about grandpa and Feifei. Why does grandpa love to brag, and is so impulsive and likes to get into fights like a young boy. What unique skills does Feifei know and how smart he is?
She exaggerated a little more and laughed so much that Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears and hugged her and shouted "My dear".
Dingxiang also promised to bring Feifei over to play next time she comes to Jiaozhou.
Not only Mrs. Zhu yearns for it, but the girls next to her also yearn for it.
When there were no servants, Ding Xiang would take off the pills, let Mrs. Zhu hold them and smell them, and then listen to her talk about her memory of her daughter.
Ding Xiang also confirmed one thing, Zhu Qian had no other woman. It can be seen from Mrs. Zhu's words that she has a deep relationship with Zhu Qian.
Mrs. Zhu should not be the "Mrs. Yazhai" that Zhu Qian snatched back. I don't know how she fell in love with the pirate and married him.
Ding Xiang has a better impression of Zhu Qian. I think he is as good a man as my grandfather and father.
There is no way, the time-traveling woman just likes to use "whether there is another woman" to measure the goodness or badness of a man.
Once, Ding Xiang asked gossipingly, "Mother, why isn't uncle as dark as Uncle Qin? Do you apply ointment every day to protect your skin?"
Mrs. Zhu was very happy, "Your uncle has been interested in black whale oil since he was a child. He heard about black whale oil for sun protection, so he tried to capture black whales. He also specially captured a craftsman who knew how to make ointment and went to the island..."
The black whale oil sunscreen I applied was specially customized by someone special.
Bold and arrogant.
Ding Xiang asked again, "Brother Zhan is already twenty, why don't you let him get a wife early and give birth to more grandchildren so that my mother-in-law won't be so lonely."
Ancient people got married early and could get married at the age of fifteen.
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "The marriage has been decided. It is Mr. Lu's second daughter, Lu Yubing. Yubing is young and will have to wait until late next year to get married. Alas, our Zhu family has always had few heirs. I also hope that my daughter-in-law can Have more children.
"They got married five years ago, when Yu Bing was only nine years old. Mr. Lu was kind to my master, so he proposed it. My master is also willing, so Zhan'er will have to wait a few more years."
