Chapter 48~9 Intentions
Xia Zhi said that he was not moved, that was false. In her past and present lives, the only person who treated her like this and didn't let her hate her was Li Xia.
Xia Zhi knew that because of Mrs. Tian, she should alienate Li Xia. But looking at Li Xia with dark and shiny eyes in front of her, how could she be ruthless.
Xia Solstice has never been a tangled girl. Before meeting Li Xia, she thought a lot. But now that she sees Li Xia, she doesn't think about anything.
As for Mrs. Tian's ......, it is still the same sentence, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. She can block Mrs. Tian's matchmaking offensive now, and she can also block Mrs. Tian's other tricks in the future.
Thinking clearly in his heart, Xia Zhi's attitude towards Li Xia was not so cold. She asked people to bring tea and snacks, and then told Li Xia about the lipstick tube, and asked Li Xia where the craftsman was looking for, and whether the craftsman was willing to keep the manufacturing method secret, etc.
"It's better to sign a deed with me......" the meaning of the summer solstice, the craftsman has become her person from now on, so the craftsmanship and methods of this manufacturing can be guaranteed to be passed on. Although there is no such thing as intellectual property rights now, the deed of sale~ is protected by law.
Of course, she will definitely not treat those craftsmen badly.
"It's easy to say." Li Xia smiled and nodded, he also agreed with Xia Zhi's use of this method. "As long as the conditions you give are generous, I'm not afraid that they won't agree."
"Where they are, I'll talk to them personally." Xia Zhi said busily, as for the conditions, in addition to the salary, she is also willing to raise the whole family of the craftsmen. After all, talent and technology are hard to come by.
"Look at your urgency." Li Xia smiled, "Sixteen, don't worry, I have arranged all the people." If you're happy to meet them yourself. I'll be with you then. ”
"When you come back, I estimate that you ~ my mother has to arrange things for you. Can you be available? ”
"I can always take ~ out of time." Li Xia said very firmly.
Because he suspected that Xia Zhi had something to hide from him, Li Xia found a gap to pull the little black fish aside to talk.
As soon as Xia Zhi saw that the little black fish had left with Li Xia, he knew that Mrs. Tian's affairs must not be hidden.
That's it. Mrs. Tian's disturbance this time is not small. Even now that the little black fish doesn't tell Li Xia, with Li Xia's astuteness and concern for himself, he will soon know.
Sure enough, Li Xia and the little black fish secretly ~ After saying a few words and coming back, the eyes looking at Xia Zhi were slightly different.
"Did you coax my uncle to tell you? I told my uncle not to tell you. ”
"Uncle told me that it was right. Sixteen, what is there to hide from me? Hey, my mother, I didn't expect that. ”
Mrs. Tian sent him out for a little longer this time, but Mrs. Tian didn't show the slightest abnormality at that time, so Li Xia didn't think about it elsewhere.
"Sixteen, are you mad at my mother?" Li Xia looked at Xia Solstice cautiously.
Xia Zhi sneered: "Those matchmakers are quite annoying. But...... It's all gone. Looking at you, I can't really be angry with you~ mother. ”
Li Xia stared at Xia Zhi, knowing that Xia Zhi was telling the truth, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Zhi's open-minded temper is exactly what he likes. At this time, Li Xia had a lot of words in his heart, but in front of Xia Zhi, he didn't say anything.
The two of them sat quietly for a while, and Xia Zhi said that the hour was not early, urging Li Xia to go home. Li Xia also obediently went home.
Li Xia returned to the Li Mansion and behaved as usual in front of Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian, as if he didn't know what had happened.
Mrs. Tian was originally ready to deal with her son's questioning, but as a result, her son was like no one, and Mrs. Tian's mood was a little complicated.
Li Shanchang knew that his wife was suffocated, and he was really in a bad mood these days. He deliberately came back from the academy early that day, and asked the kitchen to prepare a table of exquisite banquets. He placed the banquet in the garden, and then invited Mrs. Tian to come, and accompanied Mrs. Tian to eat wine and enjoy the scenery.
Li Shanchang can be said to be very considerate.
The relationship between the husband and wife was originally good, and Mrs. Tian also knew that Li Shanchang accompanied her so carelessly because she was afraid that she would be depressed for a long time.
The two drank a few glasses of wine, and the maiden and mother-in-law who served were far away, and Mrs. Tian was willing to say a few words to Li Shanchang that she couldn't tell others.
"I haven't done anything yet, so the girl invited these Buddhas to put pressure on me. The six old ladies are like immortals, and they don't care about mundane things. I didn't say anything this time. If I really use those domineering methods, she can say that the sixth old lady will open an ancestral hall for me and move the family law......"
"No, not so ......much," Li Shanchang was busy comforting Mrs. Tian. Sixteen, this little girl is a little smarter, but in front of Madame, then she is the class with an axe. Madame was not such a wicked person, and would not be ruthless against her. She should have known about it. These are all people who are close to Mrs., and they are also for the good of Mrs. ”
Moreover, although Mrs. Old Hanlin came a few times, she only silently put pressure on Mrs. Tian, and did not say anything to Mrs. Tian, let alone give Mrs. Tian a step down in person.
What does this mean?
This shows that the summer solstice is still very measured.
"After all, she respects Madame in her heart." Li Shanchang comforted Mrs. Tian like this, and then he also expressed his opinion on this matter. "Children, they talk to each other about their tempers, just like playing at home, and Mrs. doesn't have to take it too seriously."
In a few years, when Li Xia and Xia Zhi are older, things may not be the same.
The feelings of children are actually very uncertain. Li Xia and Xia Zhi may always be friends, but they may not have the love of husband and wife.
Mrs. Tian drank and didn't speak for a long time. Then, she seemed to have made some kind of determination.
"I see this better than you. It's not always the way to go. Now while they are young, they can still separate. If you continue to let them get along, they will be inseparable in the future. ”
"Otherwise, let's send the phoenix away." Mrs. Tian discussed with Li Shanchang.
This idea is not new to Mrs. Tian now. But I thought I was reluctant to Li Xia, so I never put it into practice.
But now, Mrs. Tian has to do it.
It's really Li Xia and Xia Zhi who didn't leave her any other choice.
“…… Don't underestimate them. This singing and harmony is right under our noses, and this game is laid out. Step by step, I don't believe they were unintentional. Mrs. Tian said to Li Shanchang very seriously.
Today, even if Mrs. Tian puts aside the bottom line, she can't deal with the summer solstice. Even if she dealt with Xia Solstice desperately, the result could only be a lose-lose situation. Not to mention that Li Xia will be completely separated from her, even the many people around her will not let her go.
Mrs. Tian now sees this very clearly.
Li Shanchang was also reluctant to give up his youngest son, and another point was that he was worried that Li Xia would have an impact on his studies if he left his side. That's more than worth the cost.
In the past, if Mrs. Tian mentioned this matter, Li Shanchang would definitely directly oppose it. But now Li Shanchang knows how nervous and important Mrs. Tian is about this matter, so he refutes it easily.
He just asked Mrs. Tian: "Madam, you have thought about it, do you have to do this?" ”
"That's the only way." Mrs. Tian said slowly, "We all know Phoenix's temperament, even if he is not by our side, he will not do anything wrong." We will not send him anywhere else, but let him go to his eldest brother. ”
"Go to the capital, you will definitely find a better gentleman for Phoenix there. With his brother and sister-in-law watching, it won't go wrong. ”
Mrs. Tian has arranged everything.
"Madam, are you really willing?" Li Shanchang looked at Mrs. Tian and asked.
"If you can't give up, you have to give up." Mrs. Tian's words are categorical. Although she didn't think much of Li Shanchang's words, Li Shanchang's sentence Li Xia and Xia Zhi were still young, and it would be difficult to say this kind of child's feelings in the future.
It is to take advantage of their young age, some words have not been broken, and some things themselves are probably still a little ignorant. This time separates them far away.
The two children don't see each other, they have their own lives, and they will keep seeing each other and making new friends.
After two or three years, the relationship between them will fade. Even if there is a friendship between childhood sweethearts, they will not delay their marriage.
"Don't you also say that you can travel thousands of miles by reading thousands of books. Phoenix, this can be regarded as going out for a long time. Following his brother, he also saw the officialdom earlier, which will always be good for him in the future. ”
Li Shanchang pondered for a long time: "In this matter, we still have to be cautious. ”
"I know. Isn't my son my sweetheart? For his sake, I naturally had to make arrangements. Let's prepare slowly first, and wait for Tian Kuo and Bing'er to finish the family affairs......"
Li Xia, Tian Kuo and He Bing'er grew up together, and their feelings are different from others. Tian Kuo and He Bing'er got married, and Li Xia wanted to come back to participate even if he was far away in the capital. Of course, Mrs. Tian didn't want to toss her son back and forth like that.
The husband and wife discussed it, but they didn't say a word in front of Li Xia.
Li Xia didn't mention what Mrs. Tian had done, and Mrs. Tian herself naturally didn't mention it. Because she planned to send her son away soon, Mrs. Tian was a motherly heart, and she was reluctant to give up, which was revealed in her words and deeds on weekdays.
Li Xia naturally enjoys her mother's care. However, he didn't think that this was Mrs. Tian compensating him for what he had done before. Li Xia suspected that her mother had other plans in mind.
I have to say that the mother and son still know each other quite well.
However, no matter whether Li Xia knocked on the side or secretly probed, the result was nothing. Li Xia can't be blamed either.
Mrs. Tian's plan was only known to Li Shanchang in the Li Mansion. And Li Shan got Mrs. Tian's strict order, and he didn't dare to report to his son.
On this day, Li Xia sat down in Ninghua Hall first, and talked to Xia Zhi about Mrs. Tian's strange appearance.
Xia Zhi knew Mrs. Tian's temperament, because she was afraid of spoiling Li Xia, so although she felt miserable for Li Xia, she was always strict with Li Xia on the surface.
That's right, Li Xia's family environment is a strict mother and loving father.
Then Mrs. Tian suddenly had this change, it can't be for no reason.
"I suspect that my mother is only afraid to do something very unworthy of me."
Mrs. Tian can't stand Li Xia? No matter what Mrs. Tian does, her original intention should be for Li Xia's good, although the result is not necessarily like that.
Xia Zhi also suspected that Mrs. Tian was holding back some big moves. The matchmaker's offensive was easily defused by her, and Mrs. Tian was not someone who gave up so easily.
It should be the calm before the storm now. Rough seas brew beneath the calm sea.
"You~ mother won't do anything to you, at most, it's just an idea to deal with me." Xia Zhi said to Li Xia, "But I'm not afraid." Your Li family's tutor and door style are there, and you~ Niang is not the kind of person who uses unpopular means. I keep to myself, don't break the law and don't cause trouble, you~ mother can't help me after all. ”
"My mother has a lot of methods. I'd rather she deal with me. Li Xia said.
"You~ mother, how can I deal with you. The general branch makes you go out to run errands, and keeps you far away? Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Li Xia also smiled, but his smile quickly froze on his face.
……
It was May in the blink of an eye, and Xia Zhi had seen Tian Kuo a few times, and Tian Kuo had also come to Ninghuatang, but it was all by himself, and he didn't bring He Bing'er with him.
Xia Zhi didn't think much about it, just thought that the two were going to get married, maybe because of shyness, maybe because they wanted to avoid suspicion.
However, Tian Kuo and He Bing'er have not yet decided on a relationship, which makes Xia Zhi more surprised. She didn't have a good time asking Tian Kuo directly, so she inquired with Yueya'er.
Crescent Moon told Xia Zhi that He Bing'er had not been in good health recently. And the He family has never been able to letter.
"That's waiting for Miss Bing'er's body to get better, and the other is waiting for the letter from the He family."
"I guess so." As she spoke, the crescent moon frowned slightly.
"Sister, is there something wrong?" Xia Zhi asked busily.
"It's nothing, it shouldn't be anything." The crescent moon is not so sure. "It's just that when I look at Miss Bing'er these days, I always feel that she is sad, as if she has a lot of heart, and she doesn't have a little joy......"
Xia Solstice hasn't seen He Bing'er these days, but listening to the description of the crescent moon, He Bing'er is indeed a little strange.
It's not like you can't let go of Li Xia.
But He Bing'er can't marry Tian Kuo and Li Xia again.
……
There is also a new news from Daxingzhuang.
The old lady of the Zhang family listened to the advice of others and advanced the marriage date of Zhang Fang and her niece. But Zhang Fang suddenly became seriously ill, and the marriage date of the two had to be postponed.
This is the information on the surface.
In fact, the situation is a little different. Qian Erlang knew the details in Xin'an Town, and the news he sent back was that Zhang Fang refused to marry his cousin no matter what, so he made a small fuss for three days and a big fuss for five days, and even threatened Mrs. Zhang that he would commit suicide.
He was seriously ill and couldn't get married, and he also told Mrs. Zhang that he must dissolve the marriage contract with his cousin, otherwise he would not take medicine and would die of illness alive.
Zhang Fang has a deep love for May, which is not so surprising that the summer solstice is not so surprising. But he was able to insist on resisting to this point, which surprised Xia Zhi a little.
This is true, no one can be disfigured. In other words, the power of love is powerful.
