May glanced at the summer solstice and was dissatisfied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info she said to Xia Zhi in a low voice: "I'm your sister." "It means that Xia Solstice is not qualified to control her and count her.

Xia Zhi smiled and lowered his voice: "Then you can take on a little bit of being a sister and set a good example for me." ”

May's words were stopped, and I felt that the summer solstice was wide. But she couldn't say that she could not do the summer solstice, and she was also a little afraid of this cousin in her heart. Therefore, she followed the strength of the summer solstice and sat on the kang.

Seeing that the two cousins no longer touched her things, Pearl's face looked much better. She also understood that this was because of Xia Solstice, and she was a little grateful to Xia Solstice. But it's not completely grateful, because May and July are all people of the Xia family, and Pearl still has a little bit of anger at the summer solstice.

A few girls sat on the kang, and although they were fiddling with sheep in their hands, no one had any thoughts on this.

May smiled and talked to Pearl and Pearl, and she praised Pearl for her beautiful clothes. Pearl was very useful in her heart, and also said that May's clothes were beautiful. This is exactly what May wants.

"It didn't go through the hands of the tailors outside, it was made by the needlework lady in Tian Jiansheng's house. "May showed Pearl the stitches of her dress, and the embroidery on it. "It's a pattern that isn't there outside. The attitude and tone are reserved and proud.

May and July were both dressed very beautifully today, especially May, who was very good at dressing up, and Pearl had already noticed what they were wearing. Now listening to May's various boasts, Pearl doesn't say anything about it, but she is very envious in her heart.

May is very good at talking, and she shows off herself without forgetting to praise the pearls. After a while, Pearl had forgotten about Fang Cai's unhappiness, and talked to May very speculatively, thinking that May was a very good person.

Slowly, the topic somehow turned to the dresser. May said that the pearl's dresser was very beautiful: "The plum blossom is yours, right?"

"The peony flower is mine, and the plum blossom is the fourth sister's. Pearl nodded, unaware of the condom in May's words.

May glanced meaningfully at the summer solstice, and then asked Pearl with a smile: "Pearl, you are so generous." Such a good dresser is willing to give to Sixteen. ”

"It was given by my mother. Pearl replied, and her mouth pursed, and she had not forgotten that she had sulked for this matter, and that she had been taught a lesson by her mother.

"It's good for my aunt to be sixteen. May still had a smile on her face, but her tone was a little sour. She didn't ask Xia Zhi directly, but continued to ask Pearl: "The clothes worn by Sixteen are also made by my aunt." ”

"Yes. Pearl replied happily, "There are three new inside and outside, and as soon as the fourth sister arrived here, my mother took her and my uncle to make clothes." ”

"That must have cost a lot of money. May said right away.

"It cost a lot of money. "Pearl said the same thing, how much it cost to make clothes for the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi was speechless, so he coughed dryly. Pearl suddenly thought of Aunt Xia's instructions, and then realized that she had said too much to May, and she had leaked her mouth.

Look at the summer solstice in May, and look at the pearls. She pursed the corners of her lips, and her eyes were very meaningful. "My aunt just feels sorry for sixteen. This sentence was said in a prolonged voice.

Pearl couldn't hear that something was wrong, and she hurriedly explained: "That's what my grandmother instructed my mother." ”

"I see. May immediately picked up the conversation, and then smiled at the summer solstice. The meaning of this smile is easy to understand. May is telling Xia Zhi that the reason why Aunt Xia treats her well and makes her clothes is because of Mrs. Xia's instructions. May asked Xia Zhi not to be too proud, and felt that Aunt Xia treated her very well.

The summer solstice can't let the topic continue like this, so he can only come forward to divert the topic. She smiled and told May, "If you come to live at my aunt's house, my aunt will definitely make clothes for you." Sister May, in July, don't be jealous of the two of you. ”

"You see you're pretty good right now. Such good relatives, I don't have any of them. ”

Pearl finally heard that Xia Solstice was helping her, so she echoed Xia Solstice's words.

May laughed twice: "I think the dresser is pretty good, I don't have it yet." "I actually want a dresser, too.

When Pearl heard this, her face was not good-looking. She was also a little smart, so she pulled the corners of her mouth and said to May: "Third sister, if you are rare Fourth Sister's dresser, you can tell Fourth Sister." ”

This is a deliberate misunderstanding of May's words, when she is the dresser who wants the summer solstice.

May glanced at Xia Solstice quickly, with a slightly strange smile on the corner of her mouth: "Sixteen, you heard Pearl's words." ”

Xia Zhi showed a surprised expression: "Sister May, I didn't hear what you just said." She didn't want to be mixed up with the two little girls. If she can help, she can't control the rest.

May giggled, turned to Pearl and said, "Pearl, I'm just teasing you." I know that your family is a small business, and it is not easy to make some money. How can I ask you for a dresser? I have this thing, and it's better than yours. ”

Pearl was relieved, and at the same time felt that she had been tricked by May.

Xia Zhi felt that they couldn't have a big deal, but they were very annoying, so he didn't want to pay attention to them. She was about to find an excuse to come out when she heard voices talking outside.

Xia Xiu is here.

Everyone came out to welcome Xia Xiucai together. Second Uncle Xia was quite surprised, he didn't expect to meet Xia Xiucai here. Xia Xiucai will also come to this matter today, and Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo haven't told him yet.

Everyone greeted each other and said a few words of homely things, and the kitchen had already prepared the meals. Aunt Xia took someone to arrange it, and set up two tables. The ladies were on the kang in Aunt Xia's room. The men's table was placed in the hall, and Uncle Guo and Changsheng accompanied Xia Xiucai and Second Uncle Xia to drink.

Although Xiao Heiyuer and Xia Zhu couldn't drink yet, they were also arranged to sit next to Xia Xiucai and Changsheng. The little black fish is of high seniority, and Xia Zhu is what Uncle Guo means, because I heard that Second Uncle Xia said that Xia Zhu is also in charge of things in Guifangzhai. Although the truth of this statement is still very debatable.

The dishes on the two tables are naturally the same, eight dishes, steamed, fried, cooked and fried. The summer solstice sits with Aunt Xia on the kang in the east house. When the meal was put on the table, Aunt Xia picked up the chopsticks and began to praise and criticize.

Aunt Xia's meal preparation was not bad, but it was far worse than what they ate at Tian Jiansheng's house. "We arrived late on the day, and we made a table for us, and there were more than a dozen hot dishes alone, not to mention eating, I couldn't see it. ”

Aunt Xia smiled at the corner of her mouth, and while letting Aunt Xia eat vegetables, she said lightly: "Second sister-in-law knows that we are small businessmen, and we can't compare with other people's prison masters." It's just some home-cooked food, and the second sister-in-law can make do with it. ”

Aunt Xia said that the food was far inferior to what they ate at the prison student's house, but the chopsticks were not ambiguous at all, and they ate very deliciously.

Aunt Xia accompanied the big guy, but she ate very little. She always had a smile on her face, but Xia Zhi felt that Aunt Xia's heart was only afraid and unhappy.

Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia's temper, I didn't know what to say just now.

There is only a curtain between the east house and the hall, so everyone can hear each other. Although they sat at two separate tables, sometimes they were connected to the stubble when they talked here.

There are three main topics: Xia Xiucai's affairs in the academy, the business of Uncle Guo's grocery store, and the affairs of Second Uncle Xia's affairs in Fucheng.

In the end, the most talked about was the matter of Second Uncle Xia.

After Second Uncle Xia drank a few sips of wine, he began to talk like a river, and his words became more and more mysterious, and he kept saying how Tian Jian was doing. According to seniority, Tian Jiansheng is still his junior, and he has to follow Zhang Cai and Luo Juan to call him uncle.

"Big brother, you know Tian Jiansheng. Second Uncle Xia also asked Xia Xiucai.

Xia Xiucai drank less, and his tone was always unhappy, not slow, and tepid, just listening to it was different from a businessman like Uncle Guo, and a person like Second Uncle Xia who was not easy to position for a while.

He asked Second Uncle Xia a few words very carefully, and made sure that Tian Jiansheng was the Tian Jiansheng he thought he was, and then nodded and told Second Uncle Xia that he knew this Tian Jiansheng: "...... Ever met. ”

Second Uncle Xia showed a look that was really like this: "I talked to the master of the prison about the eldest brother, and the master of the prison also said that he knew it." The master of the prison also studied at Wenshan Academy. ”

Then he said: "The master of the prison is rich, so he doesn't have to study hard like the eldest brother." …… After waiting for this son, he donated an official to take office. He also said that Tian Jiansheng praised him for his ability and careful handling of things, "In the future, the supervisor will take office, but I am afraid that he will take me to help, hehe." At that time, I was also a master, and I could get a few thousand taels of silver a year. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice, and his eyes were already filled with alcohol. "I heard that if you talk about an ordinary thing, if you talk about a personal favor, you will get the benefits of a few hundred taels of silver. ”

Then he laughed again, and his voice was raised. "I'm a farmer, and I hear all these things. The eldest brother is Xiucai, and the brother-in-law and nephew are both old people in Fucheng, and these must know more than me, ha, haha. ”

It's really a spring breeze and triumphant.

Aunt Xia listened in the room and nodded again and again, but she was also complacent, and she couldn't live forever.

It seems that Tian Jiansheng and Zhang Cai drew a big cake for Second Uncle Xia. Xia Zhi bowed his head to eat vegetables, and heard Xia Xiucai persuade Second Uncle Xia in a very serious tone, telling him to abide by the law and discipline at all times, and to be kind-hearted in doing things, saying that it is the true color of the Xia family.

Second Uncle Xia didn't seem to be very happy to listen to such words, he responded vaguely, and finally said Xia Xiucai: "If the eldest brother is an official, I will follow the eldest brother, and it would be good if the eldest brother watched from time to time." It's a pity, hehehehe......"

After Xia Xiucai was admitted to Xiucai, he failed to pass the township examination several times. If you talk about being an official, it is a distant thing. When Second Uncle Xia said such a thing, he was a little sarcastic at Xia Xiucai.

"It's the same with everyone, and the second brother must always keep his duty. Xia Xiucai didn't seem to understand the meaning of his brother's words, but still persuaded seriously.
