Chapter 506: Tangled
5 25 zc nFu!0 +9 4 4 m[OΪ±ΚΏ ~ #, U δ For three years, Li Xia became more and more thoughtful.
Seeing her son again after three years of separation, Mrs. Tian was full of joy. In the past three years, it is absolutely not true to say that I don't want my son. Li Xia has been by her side since she was a child, and she hasn't grown up yet~ people have left her for so long.
In her first year, Mrs. Tian often couldn't sleep because she missed her son. If it weren't for Li Shanchang to stop her, she would have to send someone to send something to the capital to visit Li Xia almost every day. It wasn't until the second year that Mrs. Tian gradually got used to the days when her son left her.
Still, the three-year separation was worth it. When Li Xia came back from the capital, he not only grew taller and stronger, but also became much more mature and capable.
Such an outstanding young man is her son, and Mrs. Tian can't help but be proud.
He sent Li Xia to the capital in order to separate Li Xia and Xia Zhi. Mrs. Tian always thought she had succeeded. But as soon as Li Xia came back, she broke this idea.
The summer solstice did not appear. Mrs. Tian was very satisfied. But Li Xia left halfway. Mrs. Tian suspected in her heart that Li Xia was going to visit the summer solstice.
However, suspicion is suspicion after all, but when Li Xia and Xia Xiucai appeared at the reception banquet in the Li Mansion, Mrs. Tian's suspicion became a reality.
Not only did Li Xia not wait to see Xia Zhi as soon as he returned home, but he invited Xia Xiucai to be a guest before he could discuss it with her and Li Shanchang.
By what identity did Xia Xiucai appear at this family banquet?!
Mrs. Tian guessed it at once. And she could see it, and everyone present at the banquet had guessed it.
Li Xia has not yet decided to marry, at this time, he invited Xia Xiucai to come, and then contacted him about the secret relationship with Xia Zhi before he went to the capital, Li Xia must regard Xia Xiucai as his future father-in-law.
If it is as Li Xia's future father-in-law, then Xia Xiucai's appearance at this banquet is really true.
Mrs. Tian couldn't care about it at that time, so she wanted to take Xia Xiucai away. But Li Xia protected Xia Xiucai from wind and rain. There is also a Tian Kuo who loves to cause chaos the most, and he even helps Li Xia everywhere and protects Xia Xiucai together.
She could only acquiesce to Xia Xiucai to stay, because she was worried that if she pushed her more urgently, it would be difficult to clean up if Li Xia made her words clear. That is likely to confirm Xia Xiucai's identity as an old man!
Now, the banquet is over, Li Xia didn't bother to talk to her, so he went to see Xia Xiucai off in person, and he hadn't come back by this time.
Li Xia must have gone to meet the summer solstice, but he was reluctant to come back in Ninghua Hall.
Mrs. Tian felt extremely depressed in her heart.
ββ¦β¦ I was careless. In the past three years, I was afraid that they had not broken contact with me behind my back. Mrs. Tian said to Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang showed an expression that you only knew.
Mrs. Tian's eyes narrowed: "You know? You didn't even tell me? β
"What can I know?" Li Shanchang hurriedly defended himself, "You don't want to think about it, what kind of character our phoenix is, and Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi is not an ordinary girl." β
If an ordinary girl encounters Mrs. Tian using such a method, I am afraid that she can only ~ tears, and she wants to contact Li Xia but can't get in touch.
In this era, when the women who were kept in the house laughed at themselves, they all called themselves legless crabs. The field they can use is only the size of the back house.
But the summer solstice is different.
"Yes." Mrs. Tian nodded, "She has been going out several times in the past three years, and she has gone south. She must have gone to the capital to see the phoenix. β¦β¦ Tian Kuo, this kid, hide it from me~ tight. β
Mrs. Tian is not stupid, as long as she faces the reality, she quickly figured out the joints. Li Xia and Xia Zhi have never broken contact, and the relationship between the two is not only not estranged, but I am afraid that it has become even denser.
And between Li Xia and Xia Zhi, it was definitely Tian Kuo who helped match the bridge and help hide from her.
"Right under my nose, this girl of the summer solstice...... For three years, she didn't even show some shadows...... "Mrs. Tian scolded Tian Kuo and scolded Xia Zhi.
She's really angry.
knew that the result would be like this, why did she send her son thousands of miles away.
Mrs. Tian was so annoyed that she almost wanted to go back to three years ago.
"I had known that this was the case, what should I do to send my son away......" Mrs. Tian said in a vague voice.
Li Shanchang patiently listened to Mrs. Tian's complaints, and only when Mrs. Tian complained and resolved them was almost over, he opened his mouth to persuade them.
Anyway, Li Xia has grown a lot in the past three years. If Li Xia had stayed by their side, he might not have been as mature and stable as he is now, and at first glance, he would be able to take on great responsibilities and take charge alone.
Their son is already a dignified man.
"yes, I'm more daring to make my own decisions." Mrs. Tian added lukewarmly, such as inviting Xia Xiucai on her own initiative.
As for Li Xia and Xia Zhi's affairs......
Li Shanchang was obviously more open than Mrs. Tian: "It's better to let it be." β
"I don't." Mrs. Tian was rarely stubborn.
Li Shanchang continued to persuade Mrs. Tian: "Madam, think about it objectively, what's wrong with the summer solstice?" It's also rare for our phoenix to find such a talented and beautiful daughter-in-law. β
Li Xia and Xia Zhi are still very right.
This is what Li Shanchang thinks. He has always had a good impression of the summer solstice.
"In addition to the ...... family background, our Li family is also an ordinary cultivator who has studied hard from generation to generation. The Xia family is a family of cultivators, and we have all seen the old man and the old lady of the Xia family, and they are all decent and kind. β¦β¦ Mr. Xia is a little weaker, but he is a gentleman. Xia Niangzi...... Ten fingers stretched out are not ordinary, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read......"
And Xia Zhi recited the Xia family's scripture well.
"Madam, do I know that you have inquired about all the things in the Xia family. Xia Zhi is still a junior at a young age, and she can tidy up the mess at home, which is also quite rare......"
Looking at Xia Zhi's consistent behavior, she will definitely be a good housewife who can join the family in the future. Li Xia married Xia Zhi, and he almost didn't have to worry about everything at home. Xia Solstice will definitely be able to operate decently and straighten out all aspects.
Moreover, the current Xia family is no longer the Xia family of the past.
"Mr. Xia was unlucky in the exam, but I am very optimistic about his two sons. And the child with Sixteen with him, Xiaolong, will definitely be good in the future......"
Li Shanchang was very clear about Mrs. Tian's plans for Li Xia's marriage.
"Such an in-law family will definitely not drag down our phoenix as you feared, madam, and we can still be each other's arms in the future......"
Mrs. Tian frowned slightly, and she didn't know if she had listened to Li Shanchang's words.
"There are so many Xia families, where can they compare to those big families......"
"We already have a daughter-in-law of the family. It's not to say a big word, our Li family doesn't rely on our children's in-laws......"
"I'm not trying to rely on anyone, I just want to make it easier for Phoenix in the future." Mrs. Tian refuted Li Shanchang.
"I know, I know." Li Shanchang knew that Mrs. Tian was a loving mother.
But saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, who made Li Xia like the summer solstice.
In the past three years of separation, Li Xia and Xia Zhi have not been separated, and Mrs. Tian should face up to such a reality: Li Xia and Xia Zhi are inseparable.
"Madam, time has changed, and the happiness of our phoenix is more important than anything else, isn't it."
Mrs. Tian was silent, and after a while, she said slowly: "Summer Solstice, this girl...... The heart is very big. β
Li Shanchang smiled: "Madam, Xia Zhi just didn't please you very much. But I don't think you can blame anyone for this. β
Mrs. Shida is always on guard against the summer solstice. If Xia Solstice can please her and get close to her, I'm afraid that she will think that Xia Solstice has other plans.
In fact, in the past few years, the summer solstice has fulfilled all the etiquette that should be fulfilled. When it was time to visit Mrs. Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian, she was in decline, and if she couldn't come back outside, she would also ask her brother Xia Qiao to bring gifts to visit and ask for peace.
But when it comes to how close you are to Mrs. Tian, there is absolutely nothing.
On the contrary, Mrs. Tian felt that she had been doing well in the summer solstice in the past few years, at least much better than when Li Xia was in Beizhen Mansion.
Mrs. Tian felt that she had successfully dismantled Li Xia and Xia Zhi, so she treated Xia Zhi with a little more calm.
If you look at the summer solstice with a normal heart, Mrs. Tian really can't find out that the summer solstice is not coming.
Looking back on the past three years, Mrs. Tian became more and more annoyed. She felt that Xia Zhi had played tricks on her and had been hiding the fact that she had been in contact with Li Xia.
"Madam, do you admit that Sixteen never lied to you?" Li Shanchang asked Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian thought about it and could only nod. Xia Zhi really didn't panic with her, but Xia Zhi didn't tell her the truth either.
"You didn't ask, what did you ask Sixteen to say. She specifically told you that she still has a connection with Li Xia? Madam, if you think about it from another angle, no one can take the initiative to tell you this. You sent Li Xia away, and you didn't say that it was to disassemble Li Xia and Sixteen ......"
Mrs. Tian was speechless by Li Shanchang's words. Her face turned black for a while, and then she said to Li Shanchang: "Who are you talking for?" Co-author, are you the daughter-in-law of Xia Zhi in the photo? β
Li Shanchang had an expression that he didn't say anything. "Our son is in love, what can you and I do? Are we the kind of parents who ignore the wishes of our children and are stubborn......
Li Shanchang broke it and crumpled it to persuade Mrs. Tian, but Mrs. Tian was always uneasy.
Ning Huatang, Xia Zhi looked at the hour and it was really not early, so he had to urge Li Xia to go home. She urged a few times before Li Xia was willing to get up.
Before going out, Li Xia also mysteriously left a sentence for Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, I have arranged everything, you can do it......" As he spoke, he brought out the sound of the official dialect in the capital.
"Be careful on the road...... "Xia Zhi also found a cloak made for Xia Qiao to drape Li Xia, the night in Beizhen Mansion was already a little cold at this time.
Li Xia left happily.
The next day, Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er came back, and knowing that Li Xia was back, Xia Qiao was very happy. Xia Zhi asked Xia Qiao to see Li Xia.
"Li Xia has just come back, and he still has to prepare for the township exam, which is estimated to be very busy. Brother, go over and see him, ask him when he is free, and let's hold a small banquet for him. β
"Okay." Xia Qiao smiled and agreed, happily going to see Li Mansion to see Li Xia.
"Sixteen," Sun Lan'er whispered to Xia Zhi in a private voice, "When will the matter between you and Li Xia be decided?" β
"Li Xia said that he had arranged everything, and he didn't tell me in detail, so he asked me to wait......" Xia Zhi didn't hide Sun Lan'er, "I don't know what the hell he's going to do?" β
They have survived the past three years by themselves, and their relationship has increased instead of decreasing, and the obstacle between her and Li Xia is almost Mrs. Tian.
How is Li Xia going to deal with Mrs. Tian? Xia Solstice really doesn't know. She waited for Li Xia's surprise to her.
Li Xia didn't let Xia Zhi wait too long, and this "surprise" came soon.
Li Xia has already completed various procedures to participate in the township examination, and the day of the township examination is approaching day by day. The summer solstice asked Li Xia not to run back and forth every day, but to prepare for the exam at home.
Li Xia said that he must see the summer solstice every day, so that he can have the inspiration to write articles and have the confidence to pass the township examination.
Xia Zhi felt that Li Xia was talking nonsense.
Sweet talk between lovers is often.
However, in the past two days, Li Xia seems to have suddenly listened to Xia Solstice, and did not come back to Ninghua Hall. Xia Zhi was wondering in his heart, this evening, Li Xia's steward hurriedly came over, saying that he wanted to invite Li Xia to come over.
"What's wrong, what happened to Li Xia?" Xia Zhi was suspicious, so he interrogated the steward.
The person in charge said that it was not Li Xia who had an accident, but Mrs. Tian who asked Li Xia to come over to the house and had something to say.
The summer solstice is even more suspicious. She didn't believe that something had happened to Li Xia, and she felt that it was too strange for Mrs. Tian to let her go over at this time.
The steward was very flustered, and his attitude was suspicious.
Xia Zhi has been through a lot of storms in the past few years, even if she is in a hurry, she will never show it on the surface, not to mention that she has many doubts in her heart now.
"You go back to your wife, and say that I can't leave now that I have something to do, and I'll go over to say goodbye to my wife later."
No matter what the person in charge said, Xia Zhi just sent him away.
sent away the Li family's steward, and Xia Zhi was busy and asked people to find Tian Kuo. Now that he can enter the Li Mansion and hear the true information of the Li Mansion and is willing to tell her truthfully, that is, Tian Kuo.
It's the camaraderie and trust that they've cultivated over the years.
Tian Kuo hasn't come yet, but Mrs. Tian has come.
Mrs. Tian's face was very bad. It was the first time she had been uninvited.
Xia Zhi hurriedly invited Mrs. Tian to the upper room to speak. Mrs. Tian didn't seem to be patient.
"The summer solstice girl's shelf is getting bigger and bigger." Mrs. Tian's tone was very bad, and she almost couldn't even hold up her usual dignified and serious shelf.
Only then did Xia Zhi believe that something had really happened to the Li Mansion.
"Madame's words, I do have something to say. Madame has anything to tell me. "Summer Solstice's attitude is very sincere.
Mrs. Tian didn't feel much better: "Good for you summer solstice, you say beautifully." If I hadn't come in person, you wouldn't have moved. β
Xia Zhi felt that it was useless to explain to Mrs. Tian, and the key now was to solve the problem. It is definitely not a trivial matter to be able to let Mrs. Tian come to her in person, and eight ~ nine times out of ten it is Li Xia's business.
If it was someone else's business, it would be Li Xia who would come to her.
"Madame, we'll talk about it later. Tell me what's wrong, I'll go with you now. β
"You're going to have to come with me. My phoenix has to have a good one, and I won't let you go. Mrs. Tian grabbed ~ Xia Zhi's hand.
