Nearing the end

**

Mrs. Tian cordially comforted He Bing'er for a long time, and the two seemed to be more intimate. Finally, Mrs. Tian also said a few words about the summer solstice.

"Your sister Bing'er has always been weak, and she has encountered such an unfortunate thing. You're too rough, too......" Mrs. Tian also glanced at Xia Zhi meaningfully.

Xia Zhi was not angry, nor did he take it to heart. She herself often says that she is a country girl, and roughness is her true color.

"Madame knows me, and I am not very careful. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

She has a good attitude, and Mrs. Tian can't do anything with her, but says that roughness also has the benefits of roughness.

"In the future, when you are free, you often come over to talk to your Bing'er sister, take her out for a walk, and make your Bing'er sister happy. ”

Xia Zhi's age is not older than He Bing'er. But she made a marriage with Li Xia, and with Li Xia, He Bing'er had to call her sister.

Xia Zhi nodded happily, but He Bing'er said again and again that she didn't dare, and seemed to be secretly, but in fact, she obviously glanced at Xia Zhi with a cautious and timid gaze, as if she would be bullied by Xia Zhi if she went out with Xia Zhi.

When Xia Zhi said goodbye to Mrs. Tian and came out of the upper room, someone came out with her. When they arrived at no one, several little girls were all aggrieved by the summer solstice.

"There is nothing wrong with what my sister-in-law said. At the beginning, she was more willing to marry and be the daughter-in-law of Shangshufu. Now that she has just lost her husband, no one is allowed to call her Mrs. Nian?!

“…… Usually the most pretentious, she looks like everyone is more beautiful than us, but she is so unruly, we look down on her from the bottom of our hearts!"

Some people complained about Mrs. Tian, saying that Mrs. Tian spoiled He Bing'er too much.

"To put it mildly, her surname is He, and she is still the daughter-in-law of the Nian family, and she is not homeless. This New Year's defection is coming, let's take her in, she should be sensible herself, she doesn't know the taboo, there is no old man in this house, otherwise let her give it to Fang......"

Even if He Bing'er's identity hides in the Li family, he should live in a simple place, and he should not still be in the hot filial piety, so he always appears on such occasions with a big grin.

When people look at her, is it better to laugh or not?

Everyone said a word, and in the end, Xia Zhi had to comfort them, saying that it was all because of Mrs. Tian's kindness.

As for He Bing'er, she is really ignorant.

"She is not sensible, but she is afraid that she has more things in her heart than anyone else. The little girl who had just ridiculed He Bing'er in the room just now sneered.

He Bing'er made Tian Kuo and Li Wuniang disagree, Li Wuniang's family didn't have a good year, and the big guy hated He Bing'er in his heart.

"The people who just made trouble in the mansion over there turned their horses on their backs, and this came to our mansion again. I think she just doesn't mean it. We all forget it, just look at her eyes, and in the future, there will be her without me, with me without her. "The little girl has a lot of temperament, and she speaks straight. She also looked at Xia Zhi deeply, "I just have to give my sister-in-law a wake-up call." She didn't have a good heart, I'm afraid she still wants to fight Brother Phoenix......"

There was a heavier dry cough to shut up the little girl, and he also signaled to her with his eyes.

The little girl pouted~ and said, "What did I say wrong?" That's not what you guys say behind your back. ”

The girls were all sneering.

It's nothing to say that He Bing'er shouldn't be so big for the New Year, that is, He Bing'er and Li Wuniang don't get along, and it's not a big deal.

But to say so plainly that He Bing'er wanted to fight Li Xia's idea...... Somewhat ......

This kind of thing can be hinted at, but it cannot be said so explicitly.

Xia Zhi only smiled and said a childish word, and then revealed the matter, as if the little girl didn't say anything inappropriate just now.

Coming out of the upper room, Xia Zhi did not leave the Li Mansion immediately, but went to sit in a side hall and laughed with her future sisters-in-law. She also asked the attendants to serve a tray and handed out a set of new duck egg powder, lipstick and eyebrow pencil to each little girl.

The main ingredient of duck egg powder is pearl powder, plus jasmine powder, which not only whitens and moisturizes the skin, but also covers and treats general skin blemishes.

The lipstick is a set of three, in the most beautiful tube, and the shade is also the most popular this year.

Of course, this popularity is also brought up by the dotted lips.

There is also an eyebrow pencil, which is also a delicate dot lip, easier to draw than girls usually make, and the color is more beautiful.

The little girls were all delighted. can sit here in Mrs. Tian's own conditions, and they are all pampered and raised at home. This is the New Year, and they have received a lot of New Year's money and good things from their elders everywhere.

But how could those things be more in line with their hearts than those sent by the summer solstice.

Xia Solstice was happy to see them, and he was also very happy. She has customized a lot of this kind of gift box, which is ready to be distributed to relatives and friends, and it is extremely decent and practical to take out as a gift.

The little girls are happy, they all feel that the summer solstice is generous and intimate, and they have them in their hearts. Some have said that the summer solstice can't come often, and they will pay attention to the summer solstice.

It means that he looked at He Bing'er for Xia Zhi.

The summer solstice is noncommittal.

After sitting for a while, a little girl came in and whispered a few words to Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi said goodbye to the sisters-in-law. She walked to the Hanging Flower Gate, and Li Xia came from the corridor next to her to greet her.

"My dad just had a guest there, so I went to stay with him for a while. Li Xia accompanied Xia Zhi to see Mrs. Tian, but he asked Mrs. Tian to say goodbye and left.

If it weren't for Li Shanchang's guest who wanted him to see him, he would have gone to pick up the summer solstice a long time ago.

"Are you okay now?" Xia Zhi asked.

"It's okay. Li Xia smiled, "I'll accompany you to see your uncle and them." ”

Xia Zhi nodded and said yes.

Coming out of the hanging flower gate to take the car, Li Xia saw that there were no outsiders left and right, so he asked Xia Zhi in a low voice.

Xia Zhi smiled slightly: "It's me who is not good, and I just made your sister Bing'er cry." ”

Li Xia had a bitter face. He Bing'er came back, and when he told Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi didn't have any additional expression. The two of them have each other's hearts, Xia Zhi will not eat He Bing'er's vinegar, nor will he doubt him because of He Bing'er, which makes Li Xia's heart very iron.

But Xia Zhi just saw He Bing'er, so he said to him, "You Bing'er's sister". Li Xia felt that this was not a good sign.

Xia Solstice seemed to be angry with him.

But he couldn't complain about the summer solstice, so he could only bear it.

However, the explanation still has to be explained: "What my sister Bing'er, sixteen you still don't know my heart...... She's that kind of character, sixteen, you have a lot, I don't know anything, I'm always on your side. ”

In the end, Li Xia also cautiously asked if Mrs. Tian had caused Xia Zhi to suffer any grievances.

Without waiting for Xia Zhi to say anything, Li Xia first complained about Mrs. Tian with a bitter face.

"My mother is ...... Hey, how to say, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. My grandmother had a request before she died, and the other was my third aunt, and the relationship between their sisters was very good. Both of them are okay to talk about, but they are gone, my mother...... Now Bing'er is in this situation again......"

Xia Zhi didn't speak, just looked at Li Xia.

Li Xia immediately said: "Then my mother is too spoiled by Bing'er." I'll have to remind her when I come back later, after all, my daughter-in-law is closer, isn't it, and she shouldn't forget about this anymore. ”

Compared with the niece, it is not necessarily the daughter-in-law who is closer. Different people have different opinions on this matter.

Xia Zhi sneered: "Madame didn't embarrass me and protected her." Don't think about it. ”

"Is it me who is thinking?" Li Xia was surprised and delighted, and then said that Mrs. Tian should still be reminded.

"My mother is also for my aunt......" When helping Xia Zhi to get into the car, Li Xia whispered again.

Mrs. Tian took over He Bing'er, Tian Kuo's family has gone to hidden dangers, and Mrs. Tian should be a lot more comfortable.

Mrs. Tian is more righteous in doing this. Thinking about it for Mrs. Tian's family, He Bing'er can choke their mother and son enough, and now they are back to continue the scourge, Mrs. Tian is afraid of the last words of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and she has to treat He Bing'er well......

Put yourself in the shoes of Mrs. Tian and think about it, this is not an ordinary grievance.

Because as an aunt, she is still separated from He Bing'er, and she has to figure out the thoughts of the eldest master of the Tian family.

Mrs. Tian took over He Bing'er, and she was her own aunt, so it was better to deal with it.

"I didn't let you get rid of her, why did you tell me all this?" Xia Zhi didn't give Li Xia a good look.

The carriage of the summer solstice starts. Li Xia rode a horse and followed behind, happy and sad for a while.

The joy is that Xia Zhi seems to be a little jealous, which is to value him in his heart. The sorrow is also that the summer solstice seems to be jealous, and he is angry, but if the summer solstice accumulates over time, there is a pimple in his heart, how can it be good!

The two went to Lao Hanlin's house. Old Hanlin and Mrs. Hanlin were very happy to see them coming. The summer solstice sent filial piety, and the two elders also accepted it calmly. Their children are not around, and they have been treated like relatives by the summer solstice these years, and they have long regarded the summer solstice as their own.

Li Xia told Lao Hanlin about learning, and Mrs. Lao Hanlin asked Xia Zhi if he was from Li Xianiang.

Summer Solstice replied yes.

"Then you guess you saw that Bing'er. Mrs. Hanlin asked.

"See. Xia Zhi nodded, and he didn't want to talk more about this topic.

Old Lady Hanlin groaned, she didn't continue to ask about the summer solstice. The two of them gossiped for a while, and Mrs. Old Hanlin suddenly said to Xia Zhi: "I'll go over and talk to Li Xianiang." There are so many people in the clan, it's not that there are no elders, and she should also be careful. ”

Xia Zhi was busy stopping, if Mrs. Old Hanlin did that, Mrs. Tian would be embarrassed. "Madame, she has no choice but to do so. Xia Zhi also defended Mrs. Tian. Because of the disapproving look of the old lady Hanlin, she added, "It also makes Li Xia embarrassed." ”

"What's so hard about him. Mrs. Old Hanlin said, and then she also greeted Old Hanlin, saying that Old Hanlin could also go over and talk to Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian.

“…… It's all her words, she should stay in Shangshu Mansion well. If anything, I'll talk about it then. Even at that time, it shouldn't be our Li family to take the lead. For her sake, offending Shangshu will damage the future of our Li family's children. ”

Indeed, this is the true truth.

In fact, those who are willing and able to shelter He Bing'er now are the Li and Tian families in Beizhen Mansion.

He Bing'er followed Beizhen Mansion, whether she took the initiative or not, and didn't care what the Li Tian family thought in their hearts. They accepted He Bing'er, that is, they formed a bond with Shangshufu. That is to say, the Li Tian family has deep roots in the north, and no one can shake it, and the Li family has many protégés in the past and the opposition, and they dare not do this if they change their families.

But even for the Li Tian family, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it will definitely have an impact on the future of their protégés.

If you take this into account, it is not impossible for Old Hanlin and Mrs. Hanlin to come forward and force Mrs. Tian to send He Bing'er away.

Moreover, if the old Hanlin couple did this, most of the people in the Li clan would be very approving and satisfied.

The old Hanlin couple didn't care about these chores. On the one hand, because of the summer solstice, they must be concerned. On the other hand, someone probably lobbied in front of them.

Mrs. Old Hanlin is not just talking, as long as Xia Solstice nods here, she and Old Hanlin will come out.

Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia.

Li Xia seemed to be a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant.

In any case, if the old Hanlin couple did this, it would be extremely detrimental to Mrs. Tian's face and authority.

Xia Zhi thought about it for a while, and still stopped Mrs. Hanlin.

"Madame knows the righteousness, and I think she must have all the arrangements. "The summer solstice said.

Old Mrs. Hanlin did not think so. She thinks that Mrs. Tian is because of the dying entrustment of her mother and sister, so even if she knows that it is not small and will attract the dissatisfaction of the clansmen, she will treat He Bing'er willingly.

Xia Solstice shook his head gently.

Mrs. Tian couldn't bear to watch He Bing'er suffer this point, Xia Zhi believed it, but if Mrs. Tian really couldn't even want the future of her two sons for He Bing'er, then she didn't believe it.

If Mrs. Tian really wants to do this, there is no need for the old Hanlin couple to come out, there must be someone in the Li clan who will come out.

So the meaning of the summer solstice is to let the old Hanlin couple be restless for a while, and then wait.

"You kid, you just have too many scruples. Old Lady Hanlin looked at Xia Solstice distressedly, "But don't worry." Then if He Bing'er has any unsavory thoughts, we won't allow her first. ”

Xia Zhi sweated slightly in his heart, this sweat was not for himself, but for He Bing'er.

He Bing'er didn't come back for too long, and his mind was seen through by the big guys.

It's pretty embarrassing.

Xia Zhi looked at Li Xia with a smile.

Li Xia was also a little sweaty, feeling like a piece of fat that had been coveted. He immediately stated that he had absolutely no second thoughts.

"Otherwise, I won't go to the academy. I moved in with my uncle, who was watching me study. Li Xia also discussed with the old Hanlin couple.

Mrs. Hanlin immediately agreed. Or Xia Zhi persuaded Li Xia, no matter what Bing'er, Li Xia did this, Mrs. Tian's face would definitely not be able to pass.

"I believe in Li Xia. Xia Zhi said.
