Chapter Ninety-Five: Your Guest Arrives
"No, it won't. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info "The summer solstice reassures Li Xia.
Xia Xiucai couldn't raise money as promised to Tian, and he and Tian would definitely think of other ways, but they wouldn't hit her with their ideas for the time being. If it weren't for the fact that Tian and Xia Xiucai didn't dare to move themselves, and they couldn't move themselves, she wouldn't have carried out this trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.
What she said was so firm and reasonable, Li Xia was a little relieved, and then asked her and Xiao Heiyuer what their plans were in Fucheng these days.
Is this plan?,It's very simple in Little Black Fish.,One word,It's play.γ It's a pity that Li Xia has to prepare for the exam and can't play with them.
Li Xia couldn't help laughing, and promised the little black fish that although he wanted to review his homework, he would definitely find some free time to accompany him and Xia Zhi. Then, he looked at Xia Solstice, with a faint sense of pity in his eyes. Xia Solstice is different from Little Black Fish, although Xia Solstice is young, but he carries the burden of life prematurely.
Xia Zhi did have a plan, but she decided not to tell Li Xia first. "I'll tell you when the time comes. β
"If you need my help, just ask. In Fucheng, there are few things we can't do. Li Xia said with a smile.
"Li Xia, your tone seems to be sloppy. Xia Solstice teased.
Li Xia laughed dryly.
"However, it's good to have a few friends like you. Xia Zhi then said. In fact, Li Xia really doesn't have a stubborn temper.
Where could Li Xia not understand that Xia Zhi was teasing him. "Sixteen, it's good for you to be my friend. I won't care about the previous words. β
This time it was the summer solstice that was amused. In order to make Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer happy, Li Xia came down from Wenshan Academy, and did not choose a secluded road, but let the little girl go to Dongshi Street.
The two most lively streets in Fucheng and the most shops are the West Market Street in the west of the city and the East Market Street in the east of the city. These two streets are not only full of shops, but also have markets in the morning and evening. In the morning market, most of the farmers from outside the city come to the city to sell vegetables, fish and meat. The night market sells snacks and groceries.
At this time, there are not many vendors on both sides of the street, but the shops are full of people coming and going, and it is a lively and bustling scene.
Xia Zhi looked at the joy in his heart. This sight represents a powerful purchasing power in her eyes. The people of Fucheng have such purchasing power, and it is not difficult for her to make some money.
Li Xia saw that Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer were very happy, so he asked the little girl to drive slowly, so that the two children could watch more carefully. Walking to a bluestone bridge, the little black fish saw the word Juxian hanging on a restaurant. The faΓ§ade of this restaurant is very magnificent, and the style and color of the building are the same as those of Juxian Restaurant in Linshui Town.
"Li Xia, is this also your family?" the little black fish pointed to the restaurant and asked Li Xia.
Li Xia nodded. The Juxian Restaurant in Linshui Town is a branch, and this one is the head office, all of which have his family's capital in it. "If you are hungry in the future, just come here and give me my name. If you can't find me for a while, you can ask the guys in the restaurant to send me a message. β
The address he left for his two children in Linshui Town is the address of this restaurant. Because this place is very easy to find, the bluestone bridgehead of Dongshi Street could not be more obvious.
The carriage got on the stone bridge, and Li Xia pointed to the flowing water under the bridge and told Xia Zhi: "This is the North Canal." β
Xia Zhi nodded, and saw the large and small boats on the river coming and going. The little black fish was almost about to poke out of the carriage, and he said that he wanted to take a boat. He's grown so big, he hasn't been on a boat yet. Xia Zhi hurriedly grabbed him. The boats on this river are either for passenger transport or freight, and there are no pleasure boats.
Although the North Canal is the main traffic artery of Beizhen Mansion to the south, it is not a tourist attraction, mainly because it is not rare for people in the Northland.
"It's okay to take a boat, and when I arrange it, I'll go to you. Li Xia said.
"You're so good, Li Xia. The little black fish looked at Li Xia with big eyes and sparkling eyes.
Li Xia laughed twice, then stretched out his long arm and took the little black fish into his arms and sat down. The little black fish didn't struggle, and he didn't put his elders' money. Xia Zhi supports his forehead, Li Xia is really good at coaxing children. Judging by how long he has known Little Black Fish, Little Black Fish has completely regarded him as his own.
The carriage left Dongshi Street, continued westward, passed in front of the government gate, and then crossed two north-south alleys to Xishi Street.
The dark lacquered door of the Guo family is still closed. This street is too lively, all kinds of pedestrians are constantly coming, and inside the door is the warehouse of the Guo family's grocery store, so this door is forked inside all day long.
The little guy saw the sign of the Guo family's grocery store, so he stopped the car in front of the door. Uncle Guo was standing at the door of the grocery store talking to people, and saw the carriage at a glance, and then saw Xia Zhi and the little black fish in the carriage. He gave up his hand and sent the man he was talking to, and hurried over.
Uncle Guo is also an old family in this city, living in Xishi Street and running a grocery store for so many years, he has long developed a pair of eyes to see people's identities. Although Li Xia's car is low-key, it can't hide it from him. He saw the logo of the Li family on the car at first sight. So after coming over, he hurriedly sent the young man to open the door, and then invited Li Xia to come inside to talk.
Li Xia naturally wanted to give Xia Zhi and the little black fish face.
The carriage entered the courtyard, and Uncle Guo and Li Xia also knew each other's identities. Uncle Guo's attitude towards Li Xia was even more enthusiastic. And to the enthusiasm is added humility that is not disguised. He never thought in his life that the grandson of the Li family in Dongcheng, the son of the head of Wenshan Academy, would come to his small grocery store.
That's right, Li Xia is the most valuable person who has stepped into his courtyard so far.
The outer courtyard also had a room for guests, but Uncle Guo felt that it was very disrespectful to entertain Li Xia here, and he must invite Li Xia to sit in the backyard.
"The two children have caused a lot of trouble for Li Gongzi. Li Gongzi is here, we are full of brilliance, we must invite Li Gongzi to sit in our upper house. Uncle Guo bent down slightly, and his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled.
Li Xia glanced at Xia Zhi.
"Li Xia, if you are not in a hurry to go back, come into the house and sit down. My aunt should be at home. Xia Solstice said.
"Good. Li Xia nodded at this time, followed Uncle Guo through the hall, and went to the backyard to the room.
Aunt Xia has already gotten the news in the backyard. She hurriedly came out, and happened to meet Li Xia and his party under the shadow wall. The two greeted each other, said a few polite words, and sat down together in the living room of the upper room.
Aunt Xia personally brought Sister-in-law Liu and Xiaohong to bring fragrant tea, and placed a box full of various dried fruits and snacks in front of Li Xia. Whether it is fragrant tea, dried fruits and snacks, they are all the best and most exquisite ones selected from the shop to entertain Li Xia.
"There are no good things at home, just these coarse tea snacks, and please don't laugh at Gongzi Li. "Aunt Xia faced the distinguished guests, and behaved in a down-to-earth manner, which was more refreshing and natural than Uncle Guo's words.
"Auntie is too polite. Li Xia followed Xia Zhi and called Aunt Xia. In this way, Aunt Xia was very happy, and Uncle Guo was even more smiling next to her.
Everyone talked, Aunt Xia greeted Li Shanchang, and then talked about how Li Xia sent Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer back, Li Xia told Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo that he and Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer had known each other for a long time, and they were very close to each other. This time, the two children happened to meet him when they went to Wenshan Academy, so he sent them back.
Aunt Xia asked Xia Zhi: "Have you seen your father?"
Xia Zhi replied that he hadn't seen Xia Xiucai.
Li Xia immediately took over the conversation, and he told Aunt Xia that Xia Xiucai was explaining the article to the students preparing for the exam and should not be disturbed. Because this is the arrangement of the academy, their father and son are very sorry for the summer solstice.
"It's a serious matter to teach students articles, but the two children are troublesome to Li Gongzi. β
"It's not a hassle. Li Xia said with a smile.
"Eldest sister, we are good friends with Li Xia. The little black fish said to Aunt Xia.
Aunt Xia could only laugh and thank Li Xia again, and her impression of Li Xia in her heart was also very good. It is rare for a young man of such an identity not only does not have the slightest arrogance on his body, but he can also treat others so kindly and sincerely.
Changsheng came back from running errands outside and came to the living room to meet Li Xia. The two of them are of the same age, and their size is about the same, and Li Xiachang seems to be much stronger than Changsheng.
"Pearl, tell Pearl to come out to meet Li Gongzi. Uncle Guo suddenly remembered and said.
Aunt Xia paused slightly, and then followed Uncle Guo and sent Xiaohong to get the pearl out. Pearl knew that there were guests outside, and when she heard her father's call, she deliberately redressed herself and came out in a new outfit to meet the guest.
When Uncle Guo saw it, he smiled happily. He asked Pearl to give Li Xia a gift, told Li Xia's identity, and then told Li Xia: "It's our youngest daughter, this child is a little shy, she has been raised at home since she was a child, and she has never gone out to see anyone." β
Aunt Xia glanced at Uncle Guo.
Li Xia returned the pearl gift, smiled and didn't say anything deliberately. After the pearl saluted, she went to sit next to Aunt Xia, looking at her nose and nose, and looking at her heart, she was very demure and gentle.
After talking for a while, Li Xia got up and said goodbye. Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo naturally kept it, but Li Xia only said that there was still something in the academy, and it was not easy for the two to stay.
"Li Gongzi doesn't think that our small family is ugly, please come over often when you have time in the future. Uncle Guo sent Li Xia out, and said with a smile.
"I'm bothering Uncle Guo. Li Xia said politely. Before leaving, he also specially instructed Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish: "I have time to come to you." When you go to the academy, be sure to come to me. And he said that if they had any business in the city, they could go to him.
He had told these words before, and now he said them, it was a bit like saying them to Uncle Guo and Aunt Xia.
Xia Solstice had a thought flashing through his mind, and he didn't think about it deeply.
After sending Li Xia away, everyone returned to the living room and sat down, and Uncle Guo's excitement had not calmed down. He kept chanting: "This is the grandson of the Li family's house, the son of Li Shanchang, and the little Wenqu star in our Fucheng!"
"Xiaowen Quxing?" Xia Zhi heard this for the first time, and couldn't help but ask.
Uncle Guo asked Xia Zhi: "Why didn't your father tell you?"
Summer Solstice shook his head.
Uncle Guo was in a good mood, so he explained to Xia Zhi. It turned out that Li Xia was known as a prodigy when he was a child, he could write poetry at the age of four and write at the age of five, and was regarded as the most promising young man of the Li family's generation.
"Li Shanchang has achieved Hanlin, and Li Gongzi will definitely be able to surpass his father and become a scholar like his ancestors. β
Small businessmen like Uncle Guo who run grocery stores say this, and you can imagine how widely this statement has spread. Xia Zhi suddenly understood Li Xia a little.
When it comes to the topic of the Li family, Uncle Guo seems to have endless words. Aunt Xia coughed dryly and reminded Uncle Guo: "Isn't it time to go to the front to take a look, I see that Liu Jiaofang seems to be looking for something with you just now." β
Uncle Guo sighed, thinking that there was really something unfinished in front of him, so he hurriedly went to the front.
Aunt Xia smiled at Xia Zhi.
"Auntie, my uncle and I knew that a beef noodle was good at the academy, so we brought some of his family's sauce beef back, let's try it. "Xia Zhi, this is the opportunity to give the sauced beef on the side to Aunt Xia.
Aunt Xia smiled and took it and looked at it, and asked Xia Zhi, "Is it the beef noodles of the sect?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "Auntie, do you also know his family?"
"I know, his beef noodles are really delicious. I've eaten it too. However, his family never sells this sauced beef, so it is difficult to bring it back for you. β
"It should be Li Xia's face. "The summer solstice said.
"Then it's no wonder. Aunt Xia handed over the sauced beef to Sister-in-law Liu, asked her to cut the vegetables for the night, and then said to Xia Zhi with a smile, "You kid, no wonder your father and your grandmother praise you, you are indeed considerate and thoughtful." β
As she spoke, she took Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish to the east room and sat down. Li Xia sent them back, and Aunt Xia was very surprised. Just now, in front of Li Xia, there were a lot of things that I couldn't ask.
"How do you recognize him?" Aunt Xia asked.
Changsheng followed Uncle Guo forward, and Pearl came over and sat beside Aunt Xia, listening to them with wide eyes. She was also very strange about how Xia Zhi and Li Xia, two people with very different identities and backgrounds, met each other, and became good friends, so that Li Xia could personally send them back.
"I met at a temple fair in Linshui Town. This time it was also a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet him at the academy. "Xia Zhi only said a rough idea, and didn't say it carefully.
Aunt Xia didn't want to interrogate her about the details, so she asked them about their incident in Wenshan Academy today: "Have you seen Li Shanchang?"
"yes. Xia Zhi didn't want to lie to Aunt Xia, but she couldn't say that she went to find Li Shanchang on purpose, so she vaguely mentioned the reason for the meeting, only saying that Li Shanchang treated her and Xiao Heiyuer very kindly.
"Shanchang Li and Gongzi Li both know who your father is, right?" Aunt Xia asked.
"I told them. Xia Solstice replied.
Aunt Xia suddenly realized, and many questions in her heart had been answered. Li Shanchang and Li Xia are because of Xia Xiucai, so they treat Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish specially. She sighed a little: "Your father's popularity in the academy is very good. β
