Chapter 283: The Prisoner and the Outer House
Xia Zhi understands Aunt Xia's character. When Aunt Xia was in Daxingzhuang www.biquge.info she went to other people's houses to chat, and she didn't want to go home all night.
As long as she doesn't let Aunt Xia stop, just this thing, Second Aunt Xia will go from dark to dawn.
"Grandma is good?" Xia Solstice chose the right time to interrupt Aunt Xia's words.
"It's good, can it be bad. The medicine that I eat, use, and drink all day long is good for the fetus and maintains......" Aunt Xia started again.
Xia Zhi planned again: "Second aunt, your small courtyard is very good." Your family lives here? ”
"This yard is very good, it is allocated to us to live, it is bigger than the two yards in our hometown combined, and there are more houses." Then, Aunt Xia said how good the superintendent grandmother was to her, and assigned a mother-in-law to call her.
“…… It's the prison master, who doesn't smile at ordinary people, and when he sees me, he smiles and talks to me, but he's angry. Sixteen, don't you see the prisoner......"
As he was talking, Xia Zhu led May and July and Guo Yuhuan in. Guo Yuhuan was holding Xia Yang in his arms. Looking at Xia Yang's intimacy with her, Guo Yuhuan should have brought Xia Yang a lot these days.
When she was at home, Aunt Xia often threw Xia Yang to May because she loved to visit the house. At Second Uncle Xia's house, taking Xia Yang is May's job by default.
And the summer solstice in May is also understood. With Guo Yuhuan's free labor, May must be very happy, and it will make Guo Yuhuan willing, and even proud of it.
"Sixteen is here!" As soon as May entered the door, he greeted Xia Solstice affectionately, and then called Uncle again, and greeted Changsheng and Pearl to each other, but it was a popular curtsy gift among everyone's daughters.
Some days are gone, May seems to have grown a little more, her skin is fairer and more delicate, and her eyes and body are becoming more and more mature, especially the glance she swept towards Changsheng.
Changsheng may still understand what he meant, but his face turned red instinctively.
May laughed happily, but covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
May was a bit of a rebirth. Or maybe this is the original May, which used to be limited by family conditions and the surrounding environment.
Compared to May, July's attitude is a bit stiff and arrogant. She greeted everyone with no answer, and walked straight over to be with Aunt Xia.
The most attentive and cordial is Guo Yuhuan.
Guo Yuhuan seems to be plumper, and he is dressed more than a little better than before. She greeted Xia Zhi affectionately, and asked when Xia Zhi arrived, and whether she was tired on the road or something.
"Fourth sister, you have to stay with your uncle in Fucheng for a few more days this time. I also accompanied the fourth sister to talk to the uncle more, and walked around or something...... "Guo Yuhuan is still so good at things, and his mouth is still so sweet."
When he spoke, Guo Yuhuan kept holding Xia Yang.
Xia Yang looked at Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyu'er, and his eyes seemed a little unfamiliar.
"Xiao Yang, do you still know the fourth sister?" When the summer solstice passed, Xia Yang was taken over and looked at it carefully.
Xia Yang was wearing a silk trouser gown, a cocoon silk robe on the outside, and a h-green silk hat that was more popular among Fucheng villains on his head, with a red agate inlaid in the front of the hat.
Compared to when he was in Daxingzhuang, Xia Yang's face and body were much cleaner.
No matter who took care of it, Xia Yang seemed to be raised well.
The summer solstice is subtle and somewhat reassuring.
"Xiao Yang is good, called Fourth Sister, called Uncle." Xia Solstice coaxed Xia Yang.
After being hugged by Xia Zhi for a while, Xiao Xia Yang seemed to have some memories, and called the fourth sister and uncle in a milky voice. Xiao Xia Yang seems to be much more obedient than when he was in Daxingzhuang, when he was in Daxingzhuang, Xiao Xia Yang's temperament was not as good as Xiao Xia Lin, and he always loved to cry.
The little black fish also looked at Xia Yang carefully, and then rudely squeezed Xiao Xia Yang's hand and called Xiao Yang.
"Xiao Yang is a lot more obedient." Xia Zhi said.
"Or Yuhuan will take the child." Aunt Xia said with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with Guo Yuhuan, the future daughter-in-law.
May glanced at Guo Yuhuan with a smile.
Guo Yuhuan hurriedly laughed: "Auntie, I'll take Xiao Yang for a while." Xiao Yang was brought by Sister May, Xiao Yang was well-behaved, and that was also the credit of Sister May. ”
May smiled reservedly.
Guo Yuhuan smiled when he saw May, and seemed to be relieved.
Second Aunt Xia nodded: "That is, May is now more sensible than before, and she is a lot more productive." Here, you can help me more than half of the way. ”
"Mother, what are you talking about?" May snorted delicately.
Aunt Xia smiled: "Then there are only sixteen capable people in the family, and my daughter can also do it, why can't I say it." "There is even a meaning of comparing it with the summer solstice.
Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia didn't ask Xia Zhi what he was doing in Fucheng, and in their opinion, Xia Zhi would not be a big deal. But May had a heart, and asked again and again what the summer solstice was doing in Fucheng.
"It was Tian Kuo who invited us to come over and play for two days." Xia Zhi said that he didn't tell them about cooperating with the Tian family.
This matter, not to mention hiding it from Second Uncle Xia's family, but it is better not to let them know. Regarding this point, Xia Zhi has reached a consensus with Aunt Xia.
"Tian Kuo? Also surnamed Tian? "May was a little suspicious.
"It's surnamed Tian. Aren't there a lot of people surnamed Tian in this city? Xia Zhi said lightly.
"What is the relationship between Tian Kuo and Tian Dian? Are they relatives? "May looks at the summer solstice. As far as May knows, the surname Tian that Xia Zhi met in Fucheng was Tian Laibao, and his name was Tian Dian.
Tian Laibao's name was not told to May.
"I don't know very well, the Tian family is a big family, maybe a little related." The summer solstice is somewhat perfunctory.
"Oh, what are you asking this old man for? There are many people with the surname Tian, and not everyone is as rich and powerful as the old man's family. Aunt Xia said.
The summer solstice naturally does not explain.
"I went out that day and met Tian Dian, and he almost didn't dare to recognize me." May said with a smile.
Xia Solstice sighed and ignored this stubble.
"Second uncle, second aunt, will you take Xiao Yang and them home in autumn?" Xia Solstice asked.
"Hey......" Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia began to talk about him left and right, in a word, he was too busy and couldn't help himself, so he couldn't go back.
"What about the Chinese New Year?" Xia Zhi asked again, although he had already guessed the answer.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the New Year." Second Uncle Xia said.
"Second uncle, my second aunt doesn't go back. Why don't you go back and accompany my grandfather to the grave? Xia Zhi looked at Second Uncle Xia.
"Ah...... Ah......" Second Uncle Xia was a little distracted, "Then I'll look at it then, and then ......"
"This person is an official outside, and he hasn't gone home to go to the grave for ten years or eight years, so there's nothing to say. Your second uncle, this is the first year......" Second Aunt Xia said loudly.
Xia Zhi didn't bother to correct Aunt Xia.
People are officials, and Second Uncle Xia is just going into the city to help his relatives, and if he says it well, he is in charge, and if he doesn't say it, he is doing chores and helping out. Besides, people are thousands of miles away from home as an official, and Second Uncle Xia can't compare with others in any way.
But Second Aunt Xia is so big-faced, and Second Uncle Xia doesn't think there's anything wrong with what she said.
Xia Zhi thought that his purpose of coming here had been achieved, so he wanted to get up and say goodbye. She didn't want to stay and eat. At this time, I heard that there was a little girl outside running to find Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia.
The prison master is here.
"The lord heard that the second uncle had a guest here, and said please go over and see him." The little girl was talking, and she was looking at Xia Solstice and a few people.
"That's not necessary, we're leaving." Summer Solstice stood up.
Second Uncle Xia didn't deal with Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyu'er, and he didn't want them to show their faces in front of the noble Tian Jian Sheng that he thought was. In addition, Second Uncle Xia also felt that Xia Zhi was too spicy, and he dared to say anything and do anything if it didn't go well, and he was also worried that Xia Zhi would offend Tian Jiansheng.
Therefore, Second Uncle Xia also stood up and echoed Xia Zhi's words.
Before the little girl could say anything, another person who looked like a steward came over.
In front of this steward, Second Uncle Xia looked very respectful, and he was a big steward.
The chief steward was thin and thin, his eyes swept over Xia Zhi and Pearl's bodies, and he spoke to Second Uncle Xia in a long voice. The chief steward said the same thing as the little girl.
"The master was afraid that you would be embarrassed to see him, so he specially asked me to invite him again." He said please, but the attitude was very condescending.
The chief steward is here, this is not whether Second Uncle Xia wants Xia Zhi to see Tian Supervisor, but that Second Uncle Xia must let Xia Zhi go to see Tian Supervisor.
Second Uncle Xia finally knew Xia Zhi's temperament, he sent the chief steward away first, and only when he came back did he tell Xia Zhi that she should take the little black fish, Changsheng and Pearl to meet Tian Jiansheng.
"This is also the face of the prison master to see me, and others don't have this blessing."
"We don't want this blessing, second uncle, you keep it for yourself." How could Xia Zhi eat him like this, she put down Xia Yang and pulled the little black fish to leave.
"Hey, hey, don't go, don't go." Second Uncle Xia was in a hurry and hurriedly stopped Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi kitchen knife looked at Second Uncle Xia.
Second Uncle Xia hurriedly laughed: "Sixteen, this is also a good thing." You are also giving the second uncle a face. "For a while, it was not to borrow his light, but to give him face.
Xia Zhi smiled secretly in his heart, he was not interested in seeing any Tian Jian Sheng, whether it was to borrow the light of Second Uncle Xia or to give Second Uncle Xia face.
Xia Zhi insisted on refusing, and Second Uncle Xia was worried that he would not be able to pay in front of Tian Jiansheng, so he felt a little sweaty on his forehead. May observed the words, she knew that it was powerful, and she was busy and came to persuade the summer solstice.
"I'll go with you. The old man of the prison is very kind. May smiled, as if she was very familiar with Tian Jiansheng. Xia Zhi remembered that the last time she came, Aunt Xia and May had to avoid Tian Jian Sheng.
Maybe it was because they hadn't seen Xia Solstice for a long time, and Luo Juan came in a hurry. After meeting, Luo Juan greeted Xia Zhi warmly and warmly, and said that she would keep them for dinner.
“…… It just so happened that the master of the prison was here, and everyone is really a relative, and there is no reason not to meet. Luo Juan's words were very decent.
Second Uncle Xia understood even more that Tian Jiansheng must see Xia Zhi's party. He really had no choice, so he had to call Xia Solstice aside, and then give Xia Solstice a favor.
"Sixteen, my eldest niece. The second uncle knows nothing and can't hide it from you. Let's say that relatives help others, but in fact, we still have to listen to people's calls and look at people's faces. If you don't go, it will be difficult for me to do it in the future, Second Uncle. ”
Second Uncle Xia is a very capable person.
"It's strange, this prisoner is in a panic, he has to see us. It's not that I said, second uncle, you are too careful to do things for others. What if you don't go, and don't you sell it to him? "If you want to look at people's faces like this, Xia Zhi would rather live a more miserable life.
"The eldest niece, the second uncle has to support the family." Second Uncle Xia is pitiful.
"When I was farming at home, I didn't see anyone hungry." Summer Solstice smiled.
If you are not hungry, can you compare it with the life of fine clothes and food now? Second Uncle Xia secretly slandered, and he still had a smile on his face.
Xia Zhi doesn't care if it's difficult for Second Uncle Xia to do it, how difficult it can be to do it?! However, she thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"I'll take my uncle to meet him. However, second uncle, let's talk about the ugly things ahead, you also know what kind of character my uncle and I are, we can't be low. When the time comes, don't blame us for offending your prisoner. Xia Zhi said to Second Uncle Xia.
Second Uncle Xia is really aggrieved and embarrassed. He had to say good things to Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, you think about your second uncle's family, and give the prisoner a little face." ”
The summer solstice is noncommittal.
Luo Juan led the way in front, and everyone came to see Tian Jiansheng.
It's the same room where I came to see Zhang Qiaoer last time, and this time in addition to the pot-bellied Zhang Qiaoer, there was also an old man with dark hair sitting on the couch.
Tian Jian grew dry and thin, and it was not easy to judge the age by looking at it. Although his hair was pitch black, it was unnaturally black, and it seemed to have been dyed in some way. Tian Jiansheng's face already had a lot of folds, but his face was red. It's not the kind of red that is ruddy, but it seems to be overdone.
After entering the house, Second Uncle Xia stepped forward to salute Tian Jiansheng, and then introduced Xia Zhi to Tian Jiansheng.
Seeing Tian Jiansheng, Xia Zhi did not salute.
Tian Jiansheng didn't even care. His gaze swirled back and forth between Xia Solstice and Pearl's body, and then fell on Xia Solstice's body.
The smile on Tian Jiansheng's face was a little more: "This is your niece, her father is Xiucai, teaching at Wenshan Academy?" ”
"Yes." Second Uncle Xia hunched his waist, and in front of Tian Jiansheng, he didn't straighten his waist. "It's her, sir, you have a good memory."
"It's called Summer Solstice, isn't it?" This time, Tian Jiansheng turned to the summer solstice, spoke very kindly, and leaned in the direction of the summer solstice.
Being watched by Tian Jiansheng, Xia Zhi was a little uncomfortable. She frowned secretly, feeling that Tian Jiansheng's triangular eyes were very annoying. Tian Jiansheng looked at people, and his eyes were like an awl piercing into people's flesh.
Looking at Tian Jiansheng's cloudy eyes, and then the two blue and black balls under his eyes, Xia Zhi has some understanding of Tian Jiansheng's personality.
It's an old guy who is overly drunk.
Xia Zhi didn't want to pay attention to Tian Jiansheng.
Tian Jiansheng saw that she didn't answer, but he was not annoyed at all, and his attitude became more kind and kind: "I knew your father, and I was still a classmate back then......
Xia Zhi can't always speak: "I haven't heard my father say it." ”
In a word, it is very unpleasant to give Tian Jian Sheng.
Tian Jiansheng laughed.
