Chapter 329: Li Xianiang
Li Xia's Niangtian is the daughter of Nanfu Tian, and the eldest lord and Mrs. Jiugu were born to the same mother, ranking fourth in the sister group, and the children and nephews of the Tian family call her the fourth aunt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to Li Xia's introduction, Mrs. Tian's Ru Nan is knowledgeable. She is serious on the surface, but there is no way to do it, because she has to take care of the chores of a large family. Li Shanchang almost focused on the academy and the students, and left the affairs of the family to Mrs. Tian to take care of.
Xia Zhi nodded, secretly thinking in his heart, this Mrs. Tian must be the type of strong woman. Mrs. Tian has to take care of the affairs of the family, because of her identity, I am afraid that she will have to take care of many affairs in the clan, if it is the era before the summer solstice, this is tantamount to managing a large and medium-sized enterprise.
And it's a family business, and it's more difficult to manage than a formal business.
Li Xia asked her not to be nervous, and Xia Zhi said that she was not nervous. However, if you ask yourself, Xia Zhi is really a little nervous. It's just a little bit, but it's already unusual for the summer solstice.
Because of Li Xia's relationship, Xia Zhi didn't want Mrs. Tian to hate him. In fact, she hopes that Mrs. Tian will like her.
When she goes to her best friend's house and meets her good friend's mom and dad, of course she wants them to like her. Otherwise, it may affect your friendship with your best friend.
"Li Xia, what kind of person do you~ mother like?" Xia Zhi didn't knock on the side, but asked Li Xia directly, "As soon as I meet her, I'll pretend to be like that, and I won't save you~ My mother doesn't like me or something, I mean just in case." ”
Li Xia was a little speechless, and then shook his head with a smile. "No, Sixteen, you just do the same as usual. If you pretend to be one or two times, you can still pretend for a lifetime?"
Xia Zhi also smiled: "I don't live with you~ Mother, even if I go back and forth a little more in the future, I will pretend to be in front of her old man, and it is not a pretend, so it is not a difficult thing." ”
Li Xia raised his forehead: "Sixteen, don't pretend, don't pretend." Just do what you want, my mother, she won't look at you unpleasantly. She's definitely going to like you. ”
"That's probably your face. Xia Zhi said, and then she asked Li Xia again, "Li Xia, you~ mother and Jiugu, are your personalities completely different?"
Li Xia hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's different." ”
"If you~ Niang and Jiugu have the same temperament, then I will definitely have no problem. Xia Zhi said, but she couldn't let Li Xia change her mother. "Li Xia, in front of you~ mother, you mention me. ”
Li Xia nodded, and then he looked at Xia Zhi with a smile: "Sixteen, when you saw Jiugu last time, you didn't have so many scruples?"
"The ninth aunt said that your aunt, this is your own mother. If I can't get along with you~ Mother, we won't get along awkward in the future. "When Xia Zhi speaks, he uses a fact-based attitude.
But Li Xia seemed to be a little unable to stand her words.
"We are us. Even if my mother really ...... If you don't get along well with you like Jiugu, it won't affect us. Li Xia said immediately.
Xia Zhi was slightly aware of Li Xia's delicate mood. Her gaze wandered for a moment, then nodded.
"Sixteen, aren't you nervous now?" Li Xia asked.
"Well, I'm not nervous anymore. Xia Zhi replied with a smile.
"I'm nervous. Li Xia said.
"It's you who see you~ Mother, what do you have to be nervous about. Xia Solstice laughed.
They talked and laughed all the way to the door of the Li family. The two did not talk about Mrs. Tian's likes and dislikes in the car, in fact, in their daily interactions, Li Xia had already revealed a lot to Xia Zhi bit by bit. Xia Zhi is smart and clever, and he has already remembered it.
The Li family once went out of the cabinet capital, so the regulation of the mansion for the elderly in this hometown is extremely high, and it is actually the first high-ranking family in Beizhen Mansion.
The carriage passed by the main entrance, and Li Xia deliberately found an excuse to lift the curtain and let Xia Zhi and the little black fish have a good view. Then the carriage entered the West Corner Gate, and walked for a while before it reached the Second Gate.
The carriage stopped in front of the shadow wall, Li Xia got out of the carriage first, and immediately a servant came forward to salute Li Xia. Li Xia said a few words to the leader, and then helped Xia Zhi and the little black fish out of the carriage.
"My mother is in the small inverted hall on the west side, so let's go up there and meet her. Li Xia told Xia Zhi.
Li Xia's home is not a mansion, but a mansion, and there are countless large and small mansions gathered together in such a building complex.
Almost all of Dongcheng Li's grandsons live here.
Xia Zhi followed Li Xia through the corridor and went to the courtyard on West Road. Halfway through, Li Xia picked up the little black fish, saying that he was afraid that the little black fish would be tired.
"I'm not tired. The little black fish said coolly, but she didn't break free from Li Xia, but happily sat in Li Xia's arms and watched the scene.
"I'll put you down when I'm there. Li Xia said to the little black fish.
The little black fish smiled and nodded.
Because of the many people who served, Xia Zhi did not talk to Li Xia as usual. However, she was very careful along the way, all the courtyards, even the corners and corners were clean, there was not a trace of weeds, and the people she met were all well-behaved and quiet.
The so-called seeing the subtleties, Li Xia's mother seems to be a really capable person, and she takes care of the Li family very well.
The small inverted seat hall that Li Xia said is a very delicate three-room house with a roll shed. When they came near, a girl came up to meet them, and another girl came into the house to give a report.
Xia Zhi heard a cold voice inside say something, and then a little girl opened the curtain and said that Li Xia was invited to bring someone in.
Walking to the steps, Li Xia put the little black fish down, and then sorted out the little black fish very naturally. Then, he and Xia Zhi walked into the house with a little black fish by the hand.
The three of them do this a lot, so it's only natural to do it now.
However, when the girls and daughters-in-law who served on the left and right saw it, they all showed all kinds of surprised looks on their faces.
The summer solstice is here, not to mention the eyes and ears to listen to all directions, but also a lot more carefully than usual. She noticed the strangeness of these people, and she couldn't help but feel moved, but in the end she didn't show anything, and the three of them still entered the house together.
Bypassing a screen, Mrs. Tian sat on the short kang at the top. The three of them had already entered the house, but Mrs. Tian did not ...... immediately Raising his head, he continued to look at the booklet in his hand.
She finished reading the booklet before throwing it to a housekeeper's daughter-in-law who was standing in her hand.
“…… You go back and check it and come back to me. It's also a person who does an old errand, so he shouldn't be at fault. Remembering that you are a first-time offender, I have written it down for the time being, and if there is another time, you will not have to come to see me again. ”
The daughter-in-law in charge immediately blushed, lowered her head and picked up the booklet, and told Mrs. Tian that she had been in good health recently......
Mrs. Tian picked up the tea cup on the side of the table, and there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation on her face.
But the daughter-in-law seemed frightened, and did not dare to defend herself, but said that she would immediately go down to check and revise it, and if she did not dare to make the same mistake again, she would bow down.
When he arrived at Li Xia, the daughter-in-law in charge stopped and saluted Li Xia with a smile.
Li Xia waved his hand, and the daughter-in-law in charge retreated sideways.
Then, Li Xia took Xia Zhi and the little black fish to step forward. "Mother, I brought Sixteen and Uncle to see you. Mother, if you're busy, let's go outside and play for a while. ”
Li Xia said this with a smile. But Xia Solstice keenly smelled some gunsmoke. She quietly pulled the little black fish. Because Li Xia was holding the other hand of the little black fish, he immediately noticed it.
Li Xia glanced at Xia Zhi quickly, and Xia Zhi secretly glanced at Li Xia. Li Xia understood that Xia Zhi was persuading him to talk to Mrs. Tian properly.
Xia Zhi was a guest today, and Mrs. Tian also knew that she was coming, but after she entered the house, she was still looking at the account book and reprimanding the servant. Although as the wife of the Li family, this is a common thing for Mrs. Tian, Li Xia feels that she has neglected the summer solstice like this.
From another point of view, this can also be seen as Mrs. Tian's dismount to the summer solstice.
Although Xia Zhi was reluctant to think in this direction, Li Xia was obviously unhappy. Even in the face of his mother-in-law, Li Xia couldn't tolerate letting Xia Zhi be angry, so he said so softly and hard.
Mrs. Tian obviously understood what Li Xia meant. She snorted softly through her nose, but immediately put the teacup down.
"This is what you often call the summer solstice girl, and her uncle?" Madame Tian looked at Xia Zhi and the little black fish, and then beckoned the two of them to come forward and sit down. "It's going to be a change of season, and there are too many things at home, but I've always heard Phoenix talk about you, and I've long wanted to meet you. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have let the Phoenix bring you here. ”
Mrs. Tian still didn't have a smile on her face, but the tone and attitude of her speech were gentle. Xia Zhi thought to himself, this should be Mrs. Tian's style. She said such harsh words to the housekeeper's daughter-in-law just now, but she didn't speak out harshly.
Mrs. Tian told Xia Zhi that these three inverted seats were her usual director's place.
"I'm a little sluggish, and I ask the summer solstice girl not to be surprised. As Mrs. Tian spoke, she looked at the summer solstice quietly.
Xia Zhi let her look at it, and at the same time observed Mrs. Tian without a trace.
Mrs. Tian is of medium stature, with a duck egg face, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and Mrs. Jiugu has some connections, but unlike the gentle and graceful temperament exuded by Mrs. Jiugu, Mrs. Tian is more shrewd and capable. In the words of the Zhuang family, Mrs. Tian is a powerful woman at first glance.
"Madame is so polite. I'm a junior, and my wife has something to deal with, so I just have to wait a little longer, and that's nothing. If Madame delays the family affairs for me, then I don't want to go. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Her voice is crisp, her speech and demeanor are neither humble nor arrogant, and she is generous.
After saying a few words, Mrs. Tian's eyes changed slightly when she looked at Xia Zhi.
"It's really good, no wonder Phoenix always talks about you in front of me. Mrs. Tian looked at Xia Solstice and said thoughtfully.
Xia Zhi smiled: "Madam, Li Xia didn't say anything bad about me." "That's a joke.
Mrs. Tian didn't seem to expect Xia Zhi to be so generous, she was slightly stunned before replying, "Where would he say bad things about you." In his mouth, you are in heaven and not on earth. So, I've wanted to meet you for a long time. ”
"Li Xia may be exaggerating, don't believe him, madam. Li Xia also often told me about his wife, and when I saw my wife, it was really better to meet than to be famous. …… I have a lot of admiration for Madame. Xia Zhi did not hesitate to pat Mrs. Tian's ass.
Mrs. Tian looked at the summer solstice deeply for a while, and her eyes became even more complicated.
"Li Xia takes care of us very much, like our big brother. A good person like Li Xia can only be taught by a woman like you, Madame. As the saying goes, if there is a mother, there must be a son......" Xia Zhi said again.
Mrs. Tian's face became even more complicated.
Li Xia lowered his head and snickered beside him.
Xia Solstice was secretly exposed, but it was not too much, and the conversation was stopped in moderation.
After a while, Mrs. Tian seemed to have eased up, and then slowly chatted with Xia Zhi about family life. She first asked about Xia Zhi's home, although she might have already arrived.
Xia Solstice answered truthfully.
Mrs. Tian said that she knew Xia Xiucai: "Your temperament is not very similar to your father, I think it is with you~ mother." I haven't seen you yet~ Mother. ”
“…… My family said that I was like my father in my bones, but my temper was more like my uncle, more like my father. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Mrs. Tian looked at the little black fish.
A woman of her age may not like the summer solstice, but there is nothing that she doesn't like the little black fish. "This kid is really good-looking. "This is to praise the little black fish for its good looks.
"Li Xianiang, you are also good-looking. "The little black fish knows how to be polite and reciprocal. Before coming here, Xia Zhi had instructed him to be very polite after meeting Li Xia's mother.
The little black fish understands politely, that is, obediently does not run around, does not look around, and then it is polite and reciprocating.
Mrs. Tian praised him for his good looks, and he immediately said that Mrs. Tian was also good-looking.
This is not a lie.
The little black fish is not old enough to tell lies. And as far as his temper is concerned, he may not be willing to tell lies when he grows up.
The corners of Mrs. Tian's mouth twitched visibly.
"Call Madame. Xia Zhi corrected the little black fish, but did not correct the second half of his sentence. Could she let the little black fish say that Mrs. Tian is not good-looking? That is obviously impossible.
"Well, madam, you look pretty good, well, quite like the Buddha statue of our Big Buddha Temple. The little black fish said immediately.
"My uncle is saying, madam, your appearance and demeanor are very similar to the Guanyin statue in the back hall of the Big Buddha Temple. Xia Zhi explained for the little black fish.
"Mother, I'll just say yes. You see, Sixteen and Uncle said so, I didn't lie to you, the big guys said so. Li Xia also said with a smile.
Even Mrs. Tian, at this moment, she couldn't hold her face anymore.
"You kids, you're going to mess around!"
