Xia Zhi told Aunt Xia all about the situation. Then she told Aunt Xia that she didn't agree, and because Tian wanted to force her to make the decision, she almost quarreled with Tian.

"I don't want to get married so early, and I don't plan to get married early in the future."

Aunt Xia is such a smart and clear person, as soon as Xia Zhi said this, she understood what it meant.

“…… It's a warm-hearted person.,I've always been pretty reliable.,Not the kind of person who talks nonsense.。 She said it stammeringly, and I looked at it with good intentions. Sixteen, you are still young, there are not many good offspring, and it is always good to pick early. You see, Pearl is younger than you, I've been watching for her for a long time. Auntie does the same with you. ”

Of course, Xia Zhi knew that Aunt Xia had good intentions.

"Auntie, I know that the person you mentioned to me must be good. However, I really didn't plan to think about it so early. Xia Zhi said this to Aunt Xia with a coquettish meaning.

But Aunt Xia doesn't think she's being coquettish.

Aunt Xia said everything she could say, but seeing that Xia Zhi's meaning was very firm, she had always known that Xia Zhi was a particularly assertive girl, so she refused to force it.

"Sixteen, my aunt is from here, and what she said may be old-fashioned. A woman's life's events. You shouldn't have nothing to do with this family matter, and my aunt advises you to think about it when you have time. Anyway, my aunt must have been paying attention to you here, so I'll tell you if there's a good one. ”

"Auntie, you pick the pearl first. I'm not in a hurry. It's true! Xia Zhi said busily. She would never accept such a thing as being a daughter-in-law at the age of fourteen. Even if the other party is the emperor, it can't be. Getting married at the age of seventeen or eighteen may still be considered by her.

In short, Xia Solstice really doesn't want to think about it now. She now wants to open a national chain of stores.

"Sixteen, we women's families, we have to think a little more about ourselves. Those illusory things, the men's family is nothing, and our women's family will suffer after all. Hey, you're a smart kid, and my aunt won't talk to you much. Again, think about it when you have time. You can't never marry for the rest of your life, can you? ”

Xia Zhi wanted to live alone, but at the same time, she knew in her heart that this era might not allow her to be so comfortable.

In this matter, Xia Zhi admitted that she was a little frightened, so she now adopted a strategy of avoidance and delay.

But there will come a day in the future when she can no longer avoid this matter and cannot delay it.

However, Xia Zhi firmly believes that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the future will be talked about later.

However, when the matchmaker came to Ninghuatang to look for her, Xia Zhi finally found that something was unusual. She politely and resolutely rejected the matchmaker's proposal, and she didn't pay attention to who the other party said.

After sending away the matchmaker, Xia Zhi immediately asked people to affix her from the back. In the next few days, she paid close attention to the investigation, and found out the cause with little effort.

Knowing that all this was instigated by Mrs. Tian, Xia Zhi was slightly speechless. Mrs. Tian has always been prejudiced and wary of her, which Xia Zhi has known for a long time. However, Mrs. Tian was just cold to her, and she didn't take it very seriously.

But this matter cannot be ignored by the summer solstice. If she ignored it, she believed that Mrs. Tian would never stop. As long as he thinks that he will often be harassed by the matchmaker in the future, Xia Zhi will have an embarrassed expression.

Xia Zhi sat in Ninghua Hall and thought carefully for a while, and then went out to visit the door.

On this day, Mrs. Tian was sitting at home, and Mrs. Jiugu came. Seeing Mrs. Jiugu, Tian was quite happy.

"You look like a different person than you did years ago. I look happy for you. You still have a long life in the future, how can you be unhappy. ”

Mrs. Jiugu smiled: "Some people say that the land of Beizhen Mansion nourishes me." But I know it's all because you guys are protecting me. ”

The sisters chatted about some family things, and the topic turned to family affairs and matchmaking somehow. Mrs. Jiugu said to Mrs. Tian, "...... I have seen more little girls, our two families, and other people's families, all of which are not as good as the summer solstice. Xia Zhi, this little girl has ambition and wants to make a career, not inferior to a man. She's still young, and she doesn't want to talk about marriage too early......"

Mrs. Tian listened, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

In the face of her own sisters, Mrs. Tian did not pretend. Of course, she herself knew very well that since Mrs. Jiugu came to tell her about this, what she did was no longer a secret.

This kind of thing, others don't know, but it is very easy for them to find out from their own families.

"Is the summer solstice looking for you?" Mrs. Tian asked Mrs. Jiugu directly.

Mrs. Jiugu smiled: "Fourth sister, the summer solstice will come to see me every three or five days." She told me that there has always been a matchmaker coming to her door recently, and she is very annoyed by the trouble......"

"It's annoying, I don't see it. I think she copes with it very well. Mrs. Tian snorted coldly and said.

"Fourth sister, you just want to be a matchmaker for the summer solstice, and you have to wait a few more years. The summer solstice is only thirteen, and the birthday has not yet passed. ”

"Thirteen is too early? She used this to coax you, and you believed it. You don't know what I'm worried about, do you? ”

Mrs. Jiugu paused.

Mrs. Tian glanced at Mrs. Jiugu coldly: "Don't say you don't know. Don't you approve of that? The boss is not small, it is always as if he has not grown up, and there are always unrealistic ideas in his head. How many generations have the marriage of Li and Tian, who can break this rule? ”

Mrs. Jiugu was a little speechless for a while.

Mrs. Tian's face softened slightly: "Li Xia is going to marry a girl from our Tian family, and I am optimistic about everyone." It's just that she's still young. I was thinking of finding an opportunity to talk to my sister-in-law and ask my sister-in-law to take her to her side to take care of her personally......"

"Actually, the summer solstice is very good." Mrs. Jiugu looked up at Mrs. Tian and said.

"I knew it." Mrs. Tian looked as she expected, "That's impossible." ”

"Fourth sister, are you so sure, you still draw snakes and find someone to be a matchmaker for the summer solstice?" Mrs. Jiugu scolded Mrs. Tian.

Mrs. Tian was angry for a while. But her own sister scolded herself, and she couldn't do anything to her own sister. What's more, Mrs. Jiugu is still telling the truth.

"Are you willing to bother with this? I haven't done anything before. It's ......"

"What is it?" Mrs. Jiugu asked.

"Hmph." Mrs. Tian snorted coldly again, and she really didn't want to say that Li Xia's affection for Xia Zhi was beyond her imagination. "I don't care anymore, Li Xia will be completely trapped. To separate them in the future is to break their muscles and bones. ”

Not to mention hurting her muscles and bones, Mrs. Tian was worried that if she didn't strike first, she would not be able to separate Li Xia and Xia Zhi at all in the future.

"It's just a conversation between children. Two years older, their own minds may have changed. Li Xia...... He's good for the summer solstice. However, Xia Zhi did not mean to marry Li Xia. ”

"That's what she told you? And you believe it? Of course she would have said so. Ming Xiu plank road darkness Chen Cang. ”

When Mrs. Jiugu saw Mrs. Tian's posture, she didn't dare to say anything more about what she thought Li Xia and Xia Zhi were quite suitable, she just persuaded Mrs. Tian not to let the matchmaker be a matchmaker for Xia Zhi anymore.

“…… Chain shop, you have to get flower water, fat powder, Xia Zhi used ten percent of his mind on this, and he absolutely refused to marry anyone. Fourth sister, you are moving too much, the big guy is in his eyes, and he is talking behind his back, I am afraid that it will not be good for the Li family and the Li family. ”

"I have my own charter." Although she said so, Mrs. Tian still listened to Mrs. Jiugu's words.

As soon as Mrs. Jiugu left, a little girl outside came in to report that the sixth old lady was here.

The six old ladies of the Li family, that is Mrs. Old Hanlin.

Mrs. Tian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said please, she also tidied up her clothes, and then greeted her in person.

Old Mrs. Hanlin still looked so cold.

Mrs. Tian invited Mrs. Old Hanlin to sit in the upper room, and personally held tea for Mrs. Old Hanlin. "Why does Aunt Sixth have time to come over today? I'm going to visit Aunt Six in the past two days. If the sixth aunt has any orders, just send a girl and a little maid over to give an order. ”

"I don't have anything to tell you. You are in front of a large family, and things are very complicated. How could I trouble you. Old Mrs. Hanlin didn't drink tea either, and her tone was clear and cold.

"If Aunt Sixth has something to order, how can it be called trouble." Mrs. Tian said with a smile.

"Hmm." Mrs. Hanlin sat like that, not drinking tea or talking.

Mrs. Tian was a little uncomfortable. This is her, if she changes to another person, I'm afraid she won't be able to support it. Old Mrs. Hanlin has such an aura.

Old Mrs. Hanlin sat at Mrs. Tian's for about two or three teas, and then she took her leave, as if she had just come to sit down.

Mrs. Koda knew it wasn't. Old Mrs. Hanlin is not that kind of person, and whoever comes to sit down will be like Mrs. Old Hanlin.

This night, Mrs. Tian didn't fall asleep.

The next day, Tian Qi's wife Jiang came to see Mrs. Tian. The two were also gossiping at first, and slowly the topic somehow turned to Xia Zhi.

"I have a nephew in my mother's family, and he is full of matchmaking. But Sixteen told me not to talk about it in the past few years. Sixteen, this girl, just like our seventh master said, is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, and I won't ask for that idleness. ”

After talking for a long time, there was no mention of Mrs. Tian instructing the matchmaker to propose marriage to Xia Zhi, as if she didn't know about it.

When Jiang left, Mrs. Tian leaned on the pillow, perhaps because she didn't sleep well last night, she felt very tired, from the inside out, physically and mentally exhausted.

When Li Shanchang came back and saw Mrs. Tian like this, he was a little worried and asked her what was wrong.

"What else, it's the god-like summer solstice girl you boast about."

"Has the summer solstice come?" Li Shanchang asked, he was a little surprised. He has some understanding of the temperament of this girl in Xia Zhi, and he will never confront Mrs. Tian in front of her face and make Mrs. Tian so angry and troubled.

"She didn't come, ten or a hundred times more powerful than she came."

Mrs. Tian was hiding from Li Shanchang about finding a matchmaker to propose marriage to Xia Zhi, but as a result, it was exposed.

"You, you're really ......" Li Shanchang didn't know what to say.

"Isn't that the best of both worlds? We're not bullies. ”

"Madame is of good character, but ...... This kind of thing can't be forced. "If it is another girl, maybe Mrs. Tian's trick can work, then the girl herself can not be tempted~ confused, but she may not be able to withstand the pressure from her family, relatives and friends.

But Xia Zhi is not another girl. Xia Zhi had already settled her own people, and relatives and friends did not dare to impose their ideas on her.

"I asked the matchmaker to go to her, and she immediately returned the color. These people are here today, who else will come tomorrow? Believe it or not, the six old ladies will definitely come and sit down tomorrow. ”

Li Shanchang snorted and didn't comment.

As Mrs. Tian expected, the next day, Mrs. Old Hanlin came again, and it was still that hour. When the old lady came, she still didn't say anything.

It was the same on the third day.

But it didn't work, and the old lady Hanlin came a fourth time.

Mrs. Tian knew that this trick didn't work, although she was unwilling, but she knew the opportunity very well, and immediately asked those matchmakers to stop their actions.

The summer solstice finally got quiet.

When Li Xia came to the door again, Xia Zhi didn't tell Li Xia about it. Since Mrs. Tian arranged someone to protect the media for the summer solstice, of course everything was arranged. Li Xia was instructed by Mrs. Tian to go out on errands in the past few days, but Mrs. Tian gave up here, so she let Li Xia come back.

Although Xia Zhi didn't say anything, Li Xia was very keen. "I'm not here these days, is something wrong?"

"No, it's all good." Xia Zhi was indifferent, and then asked Li Xia again, "You didn't encounter anything when you went out, did you?" ”

"What could happen to me?" Li Xia smiled, "But it's better to go home." "This home, I don't know if it refers to the Li Mansion or the Ninghua Hall, maybe both.

"That is, it's better to be outside than at home. If you're tired, let's go home early and rest. Xia Zhi didn't raise his head when he spoke, and seemed to only care about looking at the account book in his hand.

"Tired is a little tired," Li Xia originally planned to win sympathy, but looking at Xia Zhi's appearance, he improvised and immediately dispelled this idea. "Actually, it's okay, not tired. By the way, Sixteen, I'll find someone to make it for you. ”

Xia Zhi immediately raised his head, and his face was a surprise that could not be concealed.

"Really? Where, why is it so fast? ”

Li Xia smiled proudly, and then slowly took out a small brocade box from his sleeve under Xia Zhi's gaze.

Xia Solstice snatched it over.

When she opened the brocade box, there were two lipstick tubes made according to her drawings. One is porcelain and the other is copper. The porcelain is slightly larger, and the copper one is more delicate.

Xia Zhi took out the two lipstick tubes and tried them, and felt very satisfied. She should not underestimate the craftsmanship of the craftsmen of this era.

And Li Xia, he didn't forget what he told him when he was running an errand for Mrs. Tian.
