Everyone was polite to each other, because the hour was not early, Aunt Xia was busy bringing people to put the meal on the table, and invited everyone to take a seat. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Today's meal is much more sumptuous than yesterday's dinner, and Uncle Guo also opened a jar of wine, and he and Changsheng accompanied Xia Xiucai and Li Xia to drink.

Aunt Xia knew that Xia Zhi could also drink one or two cups, so she quietly asked Xia Zhi if she wanted to drink it. Xia Zhi shook her head, she still had a lot of things to do, so she didn't drink the wine. Aunt Xia still poured a small glass of wine for Xia Zhi, and she drank it with Xia Zhi.

After the meal, Li Xia sat for a while, then said goodbye and left. He was going back to pack up the silver taels, and there was also something that Xia Zhi asked him to help with. Before leaving, Li Xia agreed with Xia Zhi that he would come to pick her and Xiao Heiyuer after breakfast tomorrow, and then go to the dock in Beifu to have a walk.

The schedule of the summer solstice is very tight, but she still deliberately took out more than half a day to come, on the one hand, she wanted to go and see it herself, and on the other hand, she also took care of the little black fish.

Come out with small children, eat well, and play as well as possible.

After sending Li Xia away, everyone went back to the upper house to talk. Xia Xiucai had a lot to ask Xia Zhi, although the family often sent him letters, but it was better to listen to Xia Zhi himself.

Xia Zhi didn't hide anything from Xia Xiucai, so he told Xia Xiucai about the recent situation and what happened at home. Speaking of Old Man Tian's arrangement for Tian Dabao and the Yue family to meet each other at the eldest girl's residence in Linshui Town, as well as a series of farces after that, Xia Xiucai sighed again and again.

"There was a deficit of five taels of silver, and they still wanted to beat my idea, so I rejected it in one go. Xia Zhi said, and then she asked Xia Xiucai, "Dad, do you think I did the right thing?"

What can Xia Xiucai say? He looked left and right, and although the people sitting in this room did not speak, it could be seen from their demeanor and expressions that they were all standing on the side of the summer solstice.

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just ...... Hey, sixteen, it would be nice if you were softer, you do that, you will sweep the face of your grandmother's family too much, your mother ......" Xia Xiucai said bitterly, as if he wanted to teach Xia Zhi some of his ways of behaving.

"Their Lao Tian family has long lost face, and they don't need to sweep it sixteen. The little black fish immediately said, "Big brother, your family is better now, thanks to sixteen, why do you still say sixteen!"

Little Black Yuer's big eyes were black and white, he looked directly at Xia Xiucai, and his speech was not ambiguous at all.

Xia Xiucai always had to give up three points in front of the little black fish, and was blocked by the little black fish for a while.

Aunt Xia laughed twice, and then came out to play a round: "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, big brother, if you want me to say, you are quite worthy of her grandmother's family over the years." Let's not talk about watching people put down dishes, but who treats the law. Big brother, your set of gentlemen is good, and she is sixteen to her grandmother's family,...... It's not like you don't know what the results have been over the years. ”

Aunt Xia said it very tactfully, which means that Xia Xiucai is too pedantic.

Uncle Guo also helped: "Uncle, it's not easy for me to see sixteen nieces. You see me doing business, and I can see all kinds of people. Some people, if they really want to talk well, they may not be able to deal with it. ”

This is even more euphemistic, which means that to get along with the backer Tun'er Tian's family, you have to follow the way of the summer solstice.

"By the way, Dad, how much pocket money do you usually need, I'll give you the money in a while. We can talk about it before, I have already asked Li Xia to pay your salary. No matter what my mother says, you can't promise to put any more money into it. Xia Zhi said to Xia Xiucai again.

Xia Xiucai shook his head and sighed, but he didn't say anything. His temperament is like this, he has been used to being arranged by the Tian family over the years, and now that he has changed the summer solstice, he can be regarded as accepting it well. When it comes to pocket money, Xia Xiucai said no.

"I usually write a few words and show the articles to the students, and there is always some income. Take back the two taels of silver, and let your brother and your brother study. Speaking of letting Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er study, Xia Xiucai's face was slightly moved, "Over the years, I've been the father...... Not capable. ”

It's not that you don't have the ability to make money, but you don't have the ability to protect your legitimate rights and interests. Xia Zhi said secretly in his heart, so he nodded and agreed.

Xia Xiucai asked Xia Zhi's plans again, and he didn't understand the general affairs, but he also knew that Xia Zhi was doing a big thing now, and he had to handle a large amount of money. Xia Xiucai told Xia Solstice to be careful.

"I see that you and Xiaolong are very good with Li Xia, and you are still very familiar with Young Master Tian Kuo, right?" Xia Xiucai asked again.

Xia Solstice nodded yes.

"After all, the identities are different, don't be too casual when you get along with Young Master Li Xia and Young Master Tian Kuo. Xia Xiucai instructed Xia Solstice.

"yes, I see. She felt that she was equal to Li Xia and Tian Kuo, and the friendship between her and Li Xia and Tian Kuo, she felt that there was no need to explain it to Xia Xiucai, but she was afraid that she would not be able to explain it clearly.

Xia Xiucai nodded, because there was still something to do in the academy, so he got up and said goodbye.

Xia Zhi sent Xia Xiu out, and when she arrived at the door, she remembered Mrs. Jiugu. "Dad, do you know Mrs. Jiugu?"

"Who?" Xia Xiucai was obviously unfamiliar with this title.

"It's Tian Kuo's ninth aunt, it turns out that the ninth aunt and grandmother of the Tian family, I heard that she still studied in Wenshan Academy. Dad, have you seen her?" Yu Xia Zhi, this is a casual question.

Xia Xiucai was stunned. She ...... Sixteen, why did you ask her? You went to Tian's house today and saw her? She ...... She's back?"

Hey, Xia Solstice blinked. Xia Xiucai is not a person with a city government, and he is not good at hiding his emotions. Judging by his reaction now, he should not just know Mrs. Jiugu.

"Dad, do you really know Mrs. Jiugu?" Xia Zhi asked before staring at Xia Xiu.

"Ah, ah......" Xia Xiucai seemed to notice that he was a little out of shape, and he hurriedly restrained the emotions on his face, "Yes, I know, the ninth aunt and grandmother of the Tian family, who didn't know me back then." ”

"Not necessarily. Dad, are you very familiar with Mrs. Jiugu, tell me, I can talk to her next time I see her. Xia Zhi said to Xia Xiucai

"No, not familiar. Xia Xiucai hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't talk about me in front of Aunt Jiu." ”

Speaking of this, Xia Xiucai seemed to suddenly remember: "Sixteen, do you still want to go to see Aunt Jiu?"

"yes. Xia Zhi simply told Xia Xiucai about meeting Mrs. Jiugu today, "Okay, I'm going to see her in the future and talk to her." ”

"Ahh Xia Xiucai circled in place, "That, that's fine, don't mention me, it's not worth mentioning, nothing can be accomplished." After a pause, Xia Xiucai asked Xia Zhi again, "Aunt Jiu, she ...... Are you alright?"

"It looks good, she must have been a beauty when she was young, and she looks pretty good now, maybe not particularly beautiful, but it feels pleasing to the eye when you look at it......" Xia Zhi said his opinion of Mrs. Jiugu.

Xia Xiucai nodded again and again, with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes.

"However, according to the big guy, she is not doing very well. Mrs. Jiugu was widowed, so she went back to her parents' house to live. Xia Zhi said again.

"Huh?" Xia Xiucai looked surprised, "How could you be widowed, when did it happen?"

"The ninth aunt has been sick and died, about a year or so. Xia Zhi looked at Xia Xiucai, "Dad, you care a lot about Mrs. Jiugu." ”

"Don't, don't talk nonsense. Xia Xiucai's face was slightly red, he turned around in place twice, and asked Xia Zhi not to mention him in front of Mrs. Jiugu, and then he should have left, but his feet did not move.

"Dad, you don't have to be with Mrs. Jiugu...... What's the holiday, right?" Xia Zhi looked at Xia Xiucai with an inquiring gaze.

Xia Xiucai seemed to have just woken up: "Don't talk nonsense. After saying this, Xia Xiucai left.

Xia Zhi felt that Xia Xiucai's back was still a little unrelenting.

Back in the upper house, the gossip villain in Xia Zhi's heart jumped out, and she couldn't stop it. Xia Zhi told Aunt Xia about Mrs. Jiu.

Aunt Xia actually knew Mrs. Jiugu. As Li Xia said, the ninth aunt and grandmother of the Tian family were in the limelight for a while.

"How do you think about this, you are a widow. Hey......" Aunt Xia sighed that Mrs. Jiugu was so famous.

"Auntie, my father and Mrs. Jiugu are like...... I know you very well......" Xia Zhi secretly looked at Aunt Xia's reaction.

Aunt Xia's reaction was really a little strange: "You just talked to your father outside for a long time, won't you just say this?"

"Yes, that's what I said about Mrs. Jiugu. Xia Solstice nodded.

Aunt Xia sighed and was speechless for a long time.

There's definitely a story in there!

"Auntie, tell me about it. "The summer solstice urges Aunt Xia.

"It's nothing, it's all gone. "Aunt Xia means that I don't want to say much.

"Then I want to know. "Summer solstice insisted.

Aunt Xia couldn't help Xia Zhi: "You, you're a big ghost." Forget it, if it's someone else, I won't tell her, you kid is reliable in talking and doing things, and it's okay to talk to you. ”

Aunt Xia lowered her voice: "Aunt Jiu's grandmother was rare for your father to come back then......"

Xia Zhi suddenly realized, no wonder Xia Xiucai heard her talk about Mrs. Jiugu's gaffe. Moreover, Mrs. Jiugu took the initiative to see her, which should not be completely accidental. She remembered the conversation between the little girls she heard, and Mrs. Jiugu should have learned that he was from Linshui Town, and his surname was Xia, so she wanted to see her.

Thinking about it now, it seems that it is not accidental that Mrs. Jiugu carefully examines the appearance of her and Xiao Heiyuer.

People say that she has some connection with the little black fish. In fact, the Xia family's appearance has something in common, she is similar to Xiao Heiyuer and Xia Xiucai to some extent.

Xia Zhi felt that she needed to be alone and quiet.

Aunt Xia also instructed Xia Zhi: "It's been a few years since things happened. Sixteen, I'll just tell you this, you just know it yourself, but don't tell anyone about it. ”

"Auntie, I know. Xia Solstice nodded.

I don't know what happened, Mrs. Jiugu and Xia Xiucai got married, but now Xia Xiucai and Mrs. Jiugu don't seem to have forgotten what happened back then.

But no matter what, things are not people, and it is better to let the past pass.

Aunt Xia asked Xia what arrangements were made for the next day, and Xia Zhi said that she was going to see Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia, and Old Man Xia wanted to know how the second son's family was doing in Fucheng recently. In addition, there is also a little Xia Yang, Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia occasionally mention this grandson, and Xia Zhi has to see how Xiao Xia Yang is doing.

"Your grandfather and your grandmother are just worried. Aunt Xia sighed, "I'll ask you to inquire, if you want to see everyone at once, it is estimated that you can get to Zhang Qiao'er, and you have to go later." ”

Xia Zhi nodded, and Aunt Xia quickly sent someone out. Then she discussed with Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi went in a hurry this time, whether she should take advantage of this time to go shopping in the West Market.

"Just look at the immortal daughter-in-law. Aunt Xia said with a smile.

Speaking in such private, it is not called Sun Xiuzhi, but the daughter-in-law of Changsheng, it seems that this family is decided.

Of course, Xia Zhi also wanted to see what Changsheng's future daughter-in-law was like, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Aunt Xia called Pearl, and the lady cleaned up neatly, said shopping, and then went to the West Market. The little black fish naturally followed, and he also wanted to see his future nephew and daughter-in-law.

Walking in the West Market, it is inevitable that the summer solstice will buy some things piecemeal. Now she is also quite wealthy, so she spends her money generously.

Aunt Xia herself is a person who can spend money, but she can't help but smile and shake her head when she looks at Xia Zhi. She said Xia Zhi: "No wonder you get along well with your uncle, you two are really similar in temper." ”

"My uncle is a big spend, one spends two, I'm not, I still have a plan for spending money. Xia Zhi carried the little black fish on his back and whispered to Aunt Xia.

Aunt Xia and Pearl both laughed. At this time, the little black fish was picking something in front of a stall.

"I know that you love your uncle, don't buy him everything, and spoil him again. Aunt Xia said angrily at Xia Zhi, in fact, she was still very ironing for Xia Zhi's love for the little black fish in her heart.

"No, in fact, my uncle is quite sensible. Xia Zhi smiled, and still paid for all the things that the little black fish picked.

Along the way, Aunt Xia told Xia Zhi about Sun Xiuzhi's situation.

The Guo family and the Sun family are a good match, and although they and Sun Xiuzhi's parents do not have a deep friendship, they also know each other a little. “…… is sixteen years old this year, and there is a younger brother below, who can already help the family settle accounts and be in charge of discipline. ”

Aunt Xia mainly fell in love with Sun Xiuzhi's ability to establish discipline and help Changsheng in the future.

"She is also very quiet, not making a fuss, I think she is also compatible with Changsheng. When Aunt Xia spoke like this, she no longer treated Xia Zhi as a child, but as an adult who could communicate on an equal footing.

"Auntie, you must have been inspecting her for a long time. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Aunt Xia smiled: "I have a few candidates in my heart early in the morning, and looking at it so slowly, this is still the most suitable." "It's kind of admitting the speculation of the summer solstice.

"Then does my elder brother know?" Xia Zhi asked again.

Aunt Xia smiled again: "I know, he is also willing." ”

"That's good. ”

As she was talking, Aunt Xia stopped at the door of a grocery store.
