Xia Zhi smiled, how could she think that these two strands were less. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Of course I know that these two shares are worth and will be worth more in the future. ”

When she said that, everyone laughed. Isn't it just to give Xia Zhi shares so that Xia Zhi can bring greater benefits to the Tian family's business.

After that, Tian Kuo asked Xia Zhi how much silver he wanted to spend.

This is Xia Zhi's early draft: "Let's support two thousand taels first." ”

"Is two thousand taels enough?" Tian Kuo immediately wrote a note to the account office to pay the money, and asked Xia Zhi at the same time.

"Almost. Xia Zhi said, and then turned his head to look at Li Xia: "Li Xia, do you have any spare money to buy shares?"

"Sixteen, this is to take me to make money, right?" Li Xia asked with a smile.

Xia Zhi smiled and said nothing.

Li Xia immediately nodded: "I still have some private money, I'll pack it up and give it to you." He didn't say the exact number, and Xia Solstice didn't ask.

"Or, I'll follow along?" Tian Kuo's peach blossom eyes smiled.

"There is no guarantee that you will earn it. Xia Solstice just said.

Tian Kuo looked at Li Xia and then at Xia Zhi, and felt that Xia Zhi was very different from Li Xia: "Sixteen, you are too favoritism." Just now Phoenix wants to take a stake, you didn't say that. ”

"Oh, is it?" Xia Zhi looked a little dazed.

Tian Kuo sighed, feeling that he really had nothing to do with the summer solstice. He wrote a note for the payment and sent it to the account office, which soon sent two thousand taels of silver.

In order to make it convenient for the summer solstice, two thousand taels of silver are silver tickets. After the summer solstice, you can use these silver tickets to exchange cash at the silver numbers in Beizhen Mansion, or at the Tian family's shop.

Xia Solstice did not make such a request, this is Tian Kuo's consideration for the summer solstice, so it was arranged.

Therefore, this seemingly peach-eyed boy is far from being so squirrel.

Tian Kuo also instructed the kitchen to stay with Xia Zhi, Li Xia and Little Black Fish for lunch here. However, the time schedule of the summer solstice in Fucheng was very tight, so he refused.

"There will be opportunities in the future. Xia Zhi said.

The chief steward knew that Xia Solstice was leaving, and came over to confirm with Xia Solstice the specific time for delivering chili seeds and spicy recipes, and then Xia Solstice said goodbye and left.

Tian Kuo sent them out.

When I walked to the second gate, a beautiful girl in a goose yellow vest caught up

"Why did you leave so quickly, Mrs. Gu still wants to leave you to talk. This girl was in a hurry, it should have been that Mrs. Jiugu had just received the news, so she hurriedly sent her over.

Li Xia and Tian Kuo explained for Xia Zhi, saying that Xia Zhi came to Fucheng this time to do too much, and he had to go back quickly.

"When I come to Fucheng in a few days, I will bring her to say hello to my ninth aunt. Li Xia smiled and spoke.

The girl in the goose yellow vest obviously got the orders of Mrs. Jiugu, and did not force Xia Zhi, but took out a food box, two rulers, and a pair of jade bracelets, saying that it was Mrs. Jiugu's gift to Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer.

The weight of this gift is heavy enough. The food box must be food, although the two rulers are good, the value is relatively limited. But the water head of the pair of jade bracelets is very good, and there are almost no flaws to be seen, which is very valuable.

Xia Zhi took the food box and ruler: "This bracelet is too valuable." Trouble my sister to go back and tell my aunt that I received my aunt's heart, but our Zhuang family is rough and stupid, and we can't wear such valuable jewelry. ”

"You little girl is so good at talking. If you're stupid, we're all fire-burning girls. The girl in the goose yellow vest spoke cheerfully, "This is what Mrs. Gu specially found out for you." Say it's this color, this head, it's your skin tone. If your aunt gives it to you, you can keep it. ”

The girl in the goose yellow vest will give the bracelet to the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi looked at Li Xia with some embarrassment.

Li Xia thought about it for a while, so he made the decision for Xia Zhi and accepted the bracelet.

"Thank you Aunt Jiu, I will bring sixteen to her old man's house another day to say goodbye, and accompany her old man to talk all day. ”

Li Xia opened her mouth, and the girl in the goose yellow vest snorted and laughed. She finally finished her errand, so she walked back with a smile, and said, "The little boy Phoenix is the best at coaxing people." I'll just go back to Mrs. Gu like this, if Miss Xia doesn't come in the future, I'll let Mrs. Gu find the little princess of Phoenix......"

With that, he walked away with a grin.

After leaving the second gate, saying goodbye to Tian Kuo and getting into the carriage, Li Xia handed the pair of bracelets to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi took it and looked at it carefully, and then put it on his wrist and tried it. Jade is still very particular about the edge of the eyes. Xia Zhi felt that he liked this pair of jade bracelets a little.

However, it is still too expensive.

"Jiugu is this temper, she sees the right eye, and she is willing to do anything. Jiu Gu likes you very much. Li Xia said to Xia Zhi with a smile.

"Then you will accept such a valuable gift for me. Xia Zhi still complained about Li Xia.

Li Xia smiled slightly and muttered, "Jiugu doesn't suffer." ”

"Li Xia, what are you talking about?" Xia Zhi didn't hear clearly, so he asked Li Xia.

"Didn't say anything. Li Xia said immediately, and smiled at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi felt that Li Xia's smile was a little weird, but he couldn't say where the weirdness was, so he had to put it down for the time being. She wore the bracelet for a while, then took it off and handed it to Li Xia.

"What's wrong?" Li Xia wondered.

"You help me keep it first. I'm going back to Daxingzhuang to be busy, bumping and bumping, I'm afraid of breaking this bracelet. You can keep it for me, and wear it when I come to Fucheng. "The summer solstice said.

"That's good. Li Xia heard what she meant, so he happily helped her put away the bracelet.

"Mrs. Jiugu, Jiugu, is she ...... Xia Zhi carefully worded, "I see that she is dressed too plainly, listening to you and Tian Kuo's tone, it seems that she didn't come back to live in her mother's house temporarily?"

"I can't hide anything from you, I didn't expect you to see it in just such a moment. Li Xia looked at Xia Zhi.

"Who can't see it. Just now there was Tian Kuo, so I can't ask. Tell me, what's going on?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia.

Li Xia didn't know why, but his eyes flashed with joyful brilliance.

"What about you?" Xia Zhi urged him, feeling that he was in a daze just now.

"Oh, good, good. Only then did Li Xia come back to his senses. At the mention of Mrs. Jiugu, the expression on Li Xia's face darkened slightly.

As Xia Zhi guessed, the reason why Mrs. Jiugu dressed very plainly and went back to her parents' house to live was because she was widowed.

Mrs. Jiugu is the sister of Master Tian, that is, the aunt of Tian Kuo. She married a big family in the south back then, and followed her husband as an official outside the country over the years.

It's a pity that the ninth aunt fell ill and passed away last year. Mrs. Jiugu helped the coffin back to her husband's hometown, buried her husband, and planned to live next to her husband to observe the festival.

Jiugu just wanted to live a quiet life, but she didn't expect that she couldn't be quiet at all. Speaking of this, Li Xia frowned slightly.

It turns out that although Mrs. Jiugu and Master Jiugu have a good relationship, they are still empty after many years of marriage. Now that the ninth aunt has passed away, the ninth aunt is celebrating the festival in his hometown. The people in the Jiugu clan want to inherit the incense for the Jiugu wife and the step-son of the Jiugu master.

"What do you want to rely on in your old age, but you just fell in love with the large dowry in Jiugu's hand!"

In order to be able to get the property in the hands of Mrs. Jiugu, those people refused to stop for a moment, and as soon as they made a farce, they even thought of succeeding a scoundrel who was over 30 years old to Mrs. Jiugu.

Mrs. Jiu's life in her husband's hometown is unbearable.

Master Tian got the news and immediately took someone to bring Mrs. Jiugu back.

"The Tian family is not such a sour family. The uncle didn't agree with Jiugu guarding, he said that Jiugu is still young, and she has no children, and when she is in a good mood, she can remarry and still live a lively life. It was the ninth aunt who insisted on keeping the festival for her uncle, but the uncle had no choice but to rely on it, and he felt very sorry for the ninth aunt. It's good now, the people in the uncle's clan are not successful, and those things are troubled, and the uncle just took advantage of the topic to take back the property of the ninth aunt and the ninth aunt, and he didn't leave a penny for those people......"

Speaking of this, Li Xia looked very relieved.

Xia Zhi also nodded again and again when he heard it, and felt that Master Tian had done a good job. Mrs. Jiugu is so grateful to have such a powerful mother and brother, otherwise I don't know what the ending will be.

In fact, regarding whether a woman who has lost her husband should keep the festival, there are no such old-fashioned and inhuman rules in Beizhen Mansion. Generally, if she is young and has no children, her family will encourage her to take another step forward, that is, to remarry.

For example, the current Mrs. Xia took Aunt Xia to remarry Old Man Xia. It is said that Mrs. Xia originally wanted to live like that for the rest of her life with Aunt Xia, but her husband's family couldn't tolerate their mother and daughter at all in order to compete for property, so Mrs. Xia had no choice, so she took Aunt Xia to remarry.

"After that, Jiugu stayed in Fucheng?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia.

"It should be. What the eldest uncle meant, if the ninth aunt is annoyed living in Fucheng, she can go around and scatter her mind or something. Li Xia said.

Mrs. Jiugu has a rich dowry, that is, she has a large amount of silver in her hand. Now that the empty body is not concerned, the so-called walking around and distracting is not to say that you can burn incense or enjoy the scenery, but that you can travel everywhere.

As long as Mrs. Jiugu wants to open it, this kind of day is actually not bad.

"Why did Jiu Gu marry so far away back then?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia again. Married to the Great South, it is still a big family. Not to mention being far from home, everyone knows that there are more rules in the south than in the north town, especially the daughter-in-law of the big family. Master Tian feels so sorry for his sister, he shouldn't let her marry far away.

Li Xia looked at Xia Zhi a little helplessly, and felt in his heart that although Xia Zhi was more mature and capable many times, she was actually still a little girl, and her thoughts about weddings, funerals, and marriages were ideal.

"My father and uncle both know my uncle, and I think my uncle is young and promising, a young jinshi, and there can be a few in this world. When the ninth aunt got married, she also followed her uncle to be an official outside, and she didn't need to go back to her uncle's family to make rules. Hey, who would have thought ......" Li Xia sighed slightly.

Mrs. Jiugu is the highest-status, most beautiful and talented girl in the Tian clan. Whether it is the people of the Tian family or the Li family, they all think that Mrs. Jiugu must be rich in this life, and no one thought that Mrs. Jiugu's husband would die early due to illness.

"It's called impermanence. The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck. Xia Zhi also sighed softly, but she didn't think that Mrs. Jiugu was disgraceful. "I think Mrs. Jiugu is a very good person, as long as she doesn't embarrass herself, she can live happily in the second half of her life. ”

Li Xia glanced at Xia Zhi deeply: "Everyone thinks that my ninth aunt is famous, sixteen, you don't think so." ”

Saying that women are bleak is to treat women as plants and trees and attach them to men. Xia Zhi doesn't feel that women have to depend on men to survive, and it is naturally unfortunate that Mrs. Jiugu is widowed, but she doesn't have to be miserable and can't turn over.

"It seems that you should really be allowed to talk more with Jiugu, and you can also unravel Jiugu. Jiugu is really close to you. Li Xia said with a smile.

"Wait for my next visit to Fucheng. Xia Zhi also smiled, "I think Mrs. Jiugu is very good, and I am willing to talk to her more." ”

Mrs. Jiugu is elegant and gentle, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and this is the first woman she has seen since Xia Zhi crossed into this world. She is very willing to be friends with Mrs. Jiugu.

"Okay, that's settled. ”

Xia Zhi asked some more about Mrs. Jiugu, and then learned that Mrs. Jiugu had been naughty back then, that is, a woman dressed as a man to study in Wenshan Academy. Of course, it was with the acquiescence and connivance of Li Shanchang and Master Tian.

Xia Zhi felt more and more that Mrs. Jiugu's life was legendary. Then she also thought that looking at Mrs. Jiugu's age, she might have known Xia Xiucai when she was studying in Wenshan Academy. This is even more coincidental, the next time they meet, she and Mrs. Jiugu will have a lot of topics to talk about.

Back in Xishi, Aunt Xia had already prepared the meal. Xia Zhi had already agreed with Aunt Xia that she would come back for lunch. If it is as expected, Second Uncle Xia's family and Xia Xiucai should also come.

In fact, only Xia Xiu arrived.

Xia Zhi asked Aunt Xia what Second Uncle Xia said.

Aunt Xia smiled: "...... Carrying the letter is busy, can't leave, and can't be independent on an errand. Say he'll definitely come to see you and your uncle in two days......"

Knowing that Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish only lived in Fucheng for a day or two, this was clearly a prevarication.

"If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain. Xia Zhi smiled, and didn't get angry because of this incident, after dinner, my uncle and I went to visit him in person. ”

Xia Xiucai heard Xia Zhi say this, so he glanced at Li Xia quickly, and his eyes were very surprised.

Xia Zhi immediately noticed it, she only told Xia Xiucai: "Dad, I learned a lot of words from Li Xia. My brother also learned a lot from Li Xia. ”

His salary doesn't have to be saved up to fill in the Tian family of the backer, Daqiao and Xiaoshuer will go to school next year, his two taels of silver a month is not enough, and the money earned from doing business on the summer solstice is subsidized. Xia Xiucai naturally knew all these things.

Now hearing Xia Zhi say this, Xia Xiu just hurriedly thanked Li Xia, and at the same time said that he was ashamed. He didn't teach his children much to read.

"It's not enough to raise your hands. Li Xia was very respectful and polite to Xia Xiucai, "Mr. Xia's good sons and daughters, this is Mr. Xia's blessing." ”
