Fragrance Returned

Mrs. Zhu closed her eyes and indulged in it, and Ding Xiang also sat quietly.

I have to say that this fragrance is very similar to the fragrance of cloves. The strong fragrance is like cloves sweating too much. It smells very good.

Feifei must like this taste.

When Zhu Qian and Zhu Zhan returned home in the evening, the house was filled with fragrance.

Zhu Qian also took a deep breath with his eyes closed and said with a smile, The taste is quiet and elegant, gentle and long-lasting, good.

Madam Zhu smiled and said, Honey-scented incense powder is rarer than ambergris and agarwood. I would like to give some to Madam Sun and Madam Lu.

Zhu Qian said, Mrs. Lu is of low origin and doesn't understand the art of incense, so don't give it to her. I've already told Mr. Lu that I will give him a honey-scented pendant.

He did not agree to send Mrs. Lu away, and even used Mrs. Lu's background as an excuse, full of disdain. I should have heard about that, but I haven’t told Mrs. Zhu yet.

Seeing that Zhu Zhan didn't react, he should have known about it.

Ding Xiang was relieved for Zhu Zhan that he didn't have to marry that terrible wife.

We had a late dinner today, and only Liu Shao and a few people went to the flower hall on the moonlit night.

Zhu Qian said to Ding Xiang, Tomorrow Zhan'er will take you and your father to the port to take a boat and stay in my villa at night.

Zhu Zhan said, All my good buddies are going to go and drive to Chimai Island.

Zhu Qian said, Let Qin Hai follow, don't play too wildly.

With Uncle Qin gone, he would no longer have so much freedom.

Zhu Zhan was a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey his father.

Regardless of whether Qin Hai goes or not, Ding Xiang is happy.

When Lilac returned home, Mrs. Zhu gave her another set of bottles and jars for incense, as well as a jar of incense ash and a jar of agarwood powder.

Ding Xiang is not very interested in incense. If she is asked to buy these things specifically, she will not buy them, but she can go home and tinker with them if she has ready-made ones.

At the end of Yin time the next day, Ding Xiang was called.

Mrs. Zhang had already come over and dressed her in a set of half-used bean green bijia brought from her hometown, with a white middle coat and trousers. I was afraid that my clothes would get wet, so I brought an extra set.

The family finished their meal at dawn.

Ding Lichun was not able to ride a horse yet, so he rode in a carriage with his father, sister, and Ling'er, and drove the carriage in vain.

Bai Xian was also very happy to be able to play on a warship. He had not been on a warship yet.

Together with the Qin family's father and son, they met Zhu Zhan and Sun Yuhao at the street entrance. They met with Zou Qing, Qian Lei and Qian Fei outside the north city gate, and rushed to the port together.

The horse-drawn carriage has a shock-absorbing device, so even if it runs fast, it is more comfortable than riding a mule cart.

Ding Xiang and Ling'er smeared Black Whale sunscreen oil on their faces and hands in the carriage, and Ding Xiang even smeared the back of her neck. She gave it to her father and eldest brother, but they waved it away.

After riding in the carriage for more than two hours, we arrived at the port at the end of the day.

The seaside is crowded with warships of various sizes, and it is a spectacular sight as far as the eye can see.

Ding Xiang felt emotional.

Dali is mighty!

The emperor's grandfather had a way of governing the country. Achieving hegemony at sea will benefit generations to come.

Just looking at the eyes of the people around you won’t do.

Everyone got on a medium-sized warship, and the boat slowly began to row, leaving the dock and speeding up.

Only then did Ding Xiang know that Qian Lei was the captain of this ship, and the captain of this ship was General Qian Zongfan.

General Fan was also a pirate who followed Zhu Qian to recruit people, and he was Zhu Qian's absolute confidant.

The ship has three decks. There are ten small windows on the left and right sides of the boat on the first floor, which are places for paddling. Maybe there is no need for speed today. There are only five large pulps sticking out of the small windows on both sides.

There are also six large oars at the stern, which are used to adjust the direction.

The second deck is where people move. There are three masts in the front, middle and stern for hanging sails.

The third deck is only half the size of the second deck. Small windows are also opened around the ship building. Cannon barrels, firecrackers, and powerful crossbows protrude from the small windows.

Ding Xiang remembered that the crossbow in her dream was placed on the second deck. She pointed to the crossbow protruding from the third floor and asked innocently, Brother, how did that crossbow hit you when it was so high?

Ding Lichun had already heard from his father about his family's relationship with the Zhu family, and guessed that his injury was a design to allow his family and sister to come to Jiaozhou.

It turns out that my grandmother was burdened with such a blood feud, and it turns out that the fragrance on my sister’s body is related to something...

He was determined to follow his cousin's lead, avenge his grandmother and the Dong family, and better protect his sister and family.

He smiled and said, The crossbow happened to be broken that day, so I took it out and repaired it.

Ding Xiang nodded believingly. Then he looked at the cannon barrels. The cannon barrels were very thick, the iron was rough, and they were densely covered with small pits, which were defects caused by the low strength of the sand molds and the immersion of molten iron into the sand molds during casting.

She went up to the third floor and took a look. The gun barrel was lying on the wooden frame, and there were several piles of large black balls next to it. This kind of ball is a cannonball.

On a raised platform in the middle, Qin Hai was looking around with a monocular telescope.

The third floor was an important military area. Ding Xiang stood by the ladder and took one look before being led down by Ding Lichun.

The ship sped up and Lilac screamed excitedly.

But she was too short and the side of the ship was too high. She could only see the ship and the sky.

A few seagulls were flying in the sky, and their chirping could still be heard faintly.

It would be great if Feifei was here.

Ding Zhao picked her up and looked at her.

The big ship was already far away from the harbor, and only a few ships on the coast and in the distance could be seen.

The blue sea is boundless, with rolling waves rising from the water, connecting with the blue sky. The dazzling sunlight shines on the sea, glowing with golden light.

Qin Zhen saw the interest on Ding Xiang's face and said with a smile, Get the boat out and take Xiang Xiang to the sea for a spin.

Qin Hai said solemnly, No.

I heard that I could get up close and personal with the sea by boat, and Lilac was yearning for it.

She had been acting coquettishly for a long time but it didn't work.

Zhu Zhan felt sorry for his little cousin and also helped to plead for mercy, Uncle Qin, we will protect her and nothing will happen to her.

Qin Hai still shook his head.

Ding Zhao was a good father, holding Ding Xiang and circling around the side of the ship to watch.

A few seagulls flew over and circled over Lilac.

It was almost noon, and the smell of food could be heard in the cabin.

At this time, even the big ships in the distance could not be seen. There was only this one ship on the vast sea.

Ding Xiang was looking into the distance in a daze when a big black tail suddenly swept up and swept Ding Zhao and Ding Xiang down.

Ding Lichun and Zhu Zhan on the side were so frightened that they both jumped into the sea.

Hearing the exclamation, Qin Hai and others ran over and jumped into the water.

Ding Zhao was rescued, but Ding Xiang disappeared. After a while, I saw Ding Xiang's figure dozens of feet away, and she was bitten by a big fish.

Just as it popped up, the fish head and clove sank into the water again.

Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang...

Ding Zhao screamed miserably and burst into tears.

Ding Lichun cried together.

They wanted to jump into the water, but were forced to do so.

Qin Haifu was the fastest among these people. He handed the telescope to General Fan and jumped into the sea and swam in that direction. Qin Zhen and several soldiers jumped in soon after.
