When Tian heard Mrs. Tian ask her, he smiled: "I came to Fucheng to take care of my father-in-law." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info...... It's still convenient to live in the academy. "Saying that, I don't go to see the summer solstice.

Although Li Shanchang has been very preferential to the gentlemen of the academy. However, the conditions of the academy are far inferior to those of Ninghuatang. Mrs. Tian is very clear about this.

In addition, Xia Zhi called slaves and maids in Ninghua Hall, but there was no one to serve Tian's side.

Mrs. Tian sighed, and there was nothing unusual on her face, but her eyes turned on Xia Zhi's face.

Xia Zhi smiled and was about to speak, but Mrs. Xia said it for her.

“…… It was my old man's idea. The family has long been separated, but our family boss still doesn't dare to disobey his words. Sixteen is in Ninghuatang, he has to take care of the business, and he has to take care of his uncle. Most of the family's finances, as well as the affairs of the family, are all handled by Sixteen. If there is anything going on at home, the old man refuses to let the boss and the eldest daughter-in-law worry about it. They just need to study and teach well. The rest of the things are sixteen. ”

Mrs. Tian smiled, and she turned her eyes to look at Xia Zhi, as if she hoped that Xia Zhi could say something.

Xia Zhi really said: "My grandfather and my grandmother are very good to me, and they can trust me, and they are willing to let me try Ba in everything." I'm pretty much over with my grandpa and my grandmother now. ”

Mrs. Xia then said: "We are sixteen capable people who work hard. ”

Mrs. Tian smiled and nodded. Tian Shi felt very uncomfortable on the side, but whether it was Mrs. Xia's words or Xia Zhi's words, she couldn't refute it.

"Sixteen, this girl is indeed capable." And it looks like it's quite family-friendly, and it's short-sighted. Mrs. Tian herself is a capable person, and she is also very protective of her temperament. Although for some reason she always uses harsher standards to measure the summer solstice, Mrs. Tian can't find the shortness of the summer solstice when it comes to being capable and filial.

Xia Xiucai and Tian's deeds over the years~ She already knows. The woman's family takes care of her mother's family, and after marrying into her husband's family, she still tries her best to help her mother's family, which is not wrong in Mrs. Tian's opinion.

But Mrs. Tian despised such things as putting the cart before the horse, hollowing out her husband's family, and treating her children harshly to raise a group of rice worms in her mother's family.

Mrs. Tian looked at Xia Zhi again. In her heart, if she is placed in the position of the summer solstice, she may not be able to do better than the summer solstice.

If Li Xia was not so ...... to Xia Zhi, she should be more willing to get close to and help Xia Zhi, the little girl.

“…… Are you still used to it here, and if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I've been too busy these days, otherwise I should have invited you to come and talk. It is said that you are a filial daughter, sixteen of these temperaments, did you follow you as a mother? Mrs. Tian said to Tian again.

The expression on Tian's face stiffened for a moment, but then she hid it. “…… It's all good. The mountain chief took great care of my husband. Madame is not annoying, I often come to talk to Madame in the future. ”

As for the personality of Xia Zhi, although Tian planned it when he came, it was not good to say bluntly in front of Mrs. Tian that Xia Zhi was not, but she was still not willing to praise Xia Zhi.

"Sixteen's temperament doesn't look like me, nor does she look like her father, and I don't know who she looks like."

In this case, the tone of the speaker leaves two diametrically opposed impressions to others. One of them is to euphemistically praise their children for being better than the blue, and there are many good qualities that they don't have as parents. The other is to say that the child's grandmother doesn't love his uncle, and he doesn't attract people.

"Sixteen's temperament is more like her grandfather." Old Lady Xia spoke naturally. "When his father was at home, he often told me that it would be nice if he could have a grandson at sixteen. It's not that Sixteen is a granddaughter and it's bad. If this is a grandson, the entire Xia family will be handed over to him in the future, and it will be more advantageous than in the hands of our old man. Sixteen is a girl's family, and she will always have to marry in the future, and then her husband's family will be the most important. ”

In the end, Mrs. Xia seemed to be a little melancholy. She spoke decently, and she defended Xia Solstice everywhere, although she didn't say a word about Xia Xiucai and Tian's bad, but there was something that Mrs. Tian didn't understand about someone as smart.

Mrs. Tian no longer asked Tian anything, but talked to Mrs. Xia again. "My old son is also used to being unorthodox by us, and he is indulged in willfulness. He's been living in the country for a while, and he's bothering you too much. ”

Therefore, Li Xia said that he was reading at the Big Buddha Temple in Linshui Town, but in fact, he lived in Daxingzhuang, and Mrs. Tian already knew about it.

The expression on Xia Solstice's face remained unchanged. In fact, she had been mentally prepared for this matter for a long time. Mrs. Tian is the wife of the family, and she is so shrewd and capable, Li Xia has not lived in Daxingzhuang for a day or two, and it is strange that Mrs. Tian does not find out after a long time.

"Li Xia Gongzi is a noble person in our family. Madame gave birth to a good son, and there is no more thoughtful child in the world. Old Lady Xia praised Li Xia vigorously.

Because of the sincerity of what Mrs. Xia said, Mrs. Tian couldn't help but be moved. How can a mother not want to listen to others say that her son is good?

Mrs. Tian also said a few words to Xia Zhi, and thanked her for sending toad oil and flying dragon meat. "It's rare how you found it, it's better than what you bought at home."

That's naturally because she has first-hand sources.

"Madame is so polite. Our family has a lot of relatives and friends, who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water. Madame likes it, and I will keep an eye on it for Madame in the future. ”

Mrs. Tian smiled.

Xia Solstice glanced around. It's been a while since they've been here, and it's a little strange that they haven't seen He Bing'er. Could it be that He Bing'er is not here with Mrs. Tian? How could He Bing'er be willing to leave the Li Mansion, and how could He Bing'er not come on this occasion today?

Could it be that something happened, or that He Bing'er is not in Fucheng now?

Xia Zhi's thoughts turned slightly, and then he left this matter behind. He Bing'er or something, in fact, is not worth her too much effort, but occasionally I think of it.

Mrs. Tian set up a banquet in the warm pavilion and took everyone to their seats. Xia Zhi thought that Mrs. Tian would leave after sitting with them for a while at most, but Mrs. Tian had been accompanying them to finish the banquet, and then invited them to the next room to sit and drink tea and talk.

But soon the old man Xia asked people to pass the word, and the old lady Xia also knew that the hour was not early, so she took the lead in getting up and saying goodbye.

Mrs. Tian was very polite to Mrs. Xia: "The old lady still has to live in Fucheng for a while." Please come over when you have time, and let's talk. ”

Mrs. Tian got up and asked the housekeeper's daughter-in-law to send the big guy out.

When he got to the front, Xia Zhi saw Li Xia. Next to him stood Daqing, with a small black fish sitting on his shoulder. This image was almost blind to Xia Zhi and the Xia family, but the Li family members who passed by around were all indescribable, and they seemed to be very surprised.

"You kid, why are you so skinny? Let Li Xia carry you. How old are you! Mrs. Xia hurriedly stepped forward to carry the little black fish to the ground, and then counted the little black fish vigorously.

"Big ~ Milk, it's okay, how old is my uncle. We're both fine. Li Xia said with a smile.

The little black fish is very proud.

What can Mrs. Xia say: "Li Xia, you are too used to him." ”

Out of Li's Mansion, the little black fish yelled for Li Xia and Xia Zhi to take him to play.

"I can't play today." Xia Solstice told the little black fish. According to the plan, they first had to go back to Ninghuatang to clean up, and then they went to see Mrs. Jiugu, and the family recognized the crescent moon.

As soon as he heard that it was this, the little black fish stopped shouting.

Let's go back to Ninghua Hall together. Old Man Xia said that Li Shanchang treated them very well and was very approachable. At this point, Li Xia should follow Li Shanchang, and if there is a father, there must be a son. Old Man Xia praised the character of Li Shanchang and Li Xia's father and son.

In his opinion, only such virtuous people can make a great career and enjoy such a big fortune. Old Man Xia actually advocates the theory of being a person in advance, although he doesn't express it like this.

Aunt Xia, Layue, Sun Lan'er, and Sun Xiu'er have seen the world in Li Xia today. At that time, they didn't dare to show it too much when they were in the Li Mansion, but now that they returned to Ninghua Hall, they let go and chattered non-stop.

"Mrs. Shanchang is really good-looking." Sun Xiuer also said.

Sun Lan'er told Xia Zhi that Li Xia was more like Mrs. Tian. Xia Zhi smiled secretly in her heart, whether Li Xia was more like Mrs. Tian or more like Li Shanchang, she actually couldn't say clearly. It is rare for Sun Lan'er to pay so much attention to this issue.

Then everyone said that although the Li family was wealthy, they did not look down on people.

“…… It's not an outbreak of people, they are a century-old scholar, and they are different from those ordinary rich and noble families. Mrs. Xia said.

Everyone nodded.

Old Man Xia urged them, and quickly packed up and went to Tian's house. "You can say these things whenever you want."

Everyone laughed.

The carriage was prepared outside, and the only people who went to Tian's house this time were Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia, Xia Xiucai, Tian's family, as well as Xia Zhi, Xia Qiao and Little Black Fish.

Li Xia followed and accompanied, and the little black fish must follow.

When she arrived at Nanfutian, Li Xia sent the little maid to tell the people at the door that Mrs. Jiugu had already gotten the news and invited the people from the Xia family to her residence to talk.

I haven't seen Mrs. Jiugu for a while, and Xia Zhi found that Mrs. Jiugu's face was red~ a little moister, and the whole person seemed to have gained a little weight.

Such a Mrs. Jiugu looks even younger.

Mrs. Jiugu wore a homely vermilion cardigan sleeved gown today, with distinctive accessories, which looked both casual and elegant, not to mention the faintly exposed rich atmosphere.

When Old Man Xia saw Mrs. Jiugu, he immediately made a big salute.

Mrs. Jiugu naturally refused to accept it, and she hurriedly asked someone to help Old Man Xia up. Old Man Xia asked Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er to kowtow to Mrs. Jiugu for him.

"My eldest granddaughter, thanks to Mrs. Jiugu, she is safe, and she has today's flesh and blood reunion. Mrs. Jiugu's kindness, our Xia family will never forget. ”

"The old man is too polite. At the time, it was just a gesture for me. This is also the fate between me and the crescent moon, and I can't deserve to be like this old man. ”

Everyone has seen Mrs. Jiugu.

Then Mrs. Jiugu asked people to take it out

Four brocade boxes came, respectively to Xia Zhi, Little Black Fish, Xia Qiao and Little Tree. The red envelopes for the summer solstice, the little black fish, and the summer bridge are considered to be the New Year's red envelopes. Because she saw Xiao Shu'er for the first time, what she gave Xiao Shu'er was a meeting gift.

Mrs. Jiugu also looked at Xiao Shu'er carefully: "Your brothers and sisters look like each other." ”

After that, she exchanged a few words with Mrs. Xia and Tian's family, and then said Xia Zhi: "I haven't seen you these days, and Sixteen seems to have grown taller again." ”

The summer solstice is very happy. She was much more relaxed in front of Mrs. Jiugu than in front of Mrs. Tian.

"Am I really getting taller? That's great. Jiugu, you seem to have gained a little weight, and your face is much better than a year ago. Jiugu's body is not very good. ”

Mrs. Jiugu laughed at her: "You still remember that my body is much better than when I first came back." I ate the toad oil you asked your brother to send last time, and it's very good. ”

"Jiugu, you are proud of this, I will have someone send some over in two days. I can't say it's the best, but I haven't gone through such a businessman to change hands back and forth, and it is guaranteed to be the freshest and most mellow. ”

"I know you have a way." Mrs. Jiugu laughed, because she was still very envious when she heard Xia Zhi say that she had seen and heard about going out to catch the market a year ago, "Sixteen, when you are free, come and talk to me more." Hearing you say this, I feel that my body is much lighter. ”

Mrs. Jiugu knew that the Xia family was here to thank her, and at the same time to see the crescent moon, so after talking for a while, she ordered someone to find the crescent moon.

It turned out that Yue'er went to Tian Kuo's mother to get something for her.

"It's supposed to be back, I don't know who I'm seeing, I'll leave her to talk." Mrs. Jiugu smiled and told everyone that the big guys like crescent moons, "A rare good boy, whoever sees it will feel distressed." ”

"Jiugu, Tian Kuo is not at home?" Xia Zhi asked.

"He sent Bing'er home to visit relatives, and he should come back in the next few days." Mrs. Jiugu told Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi suddenly realized.

He Bing'er has lived in Beizhen Mansion for all these years, and she has been getting closer and closer to her home recently. In the past, when He Bing'er went home, it was either someone from there who came to pick it up, or someone from here who came to send it. But Tian Kuo never sent He Bing'er.

Could there be something going on here?

Of course, she couldn't ask Mrs. Jiugu about this, so she glanced at Li Xia. Li Xia has only one summer solstice in his heart, so he sees every move of the summer solstice. Now that Xia Solstice looked at him, he immediately guessed what Xia Solstice meant.

Li Xia nodded slightly at Xia Zhi, meaning that he would tell her when he was free for a while.

The summer solstice retracted his gaze, and after the New Year, it seems that something has happened in every household.

After this time, the crescent moon came from outside.

Mrs. Jiugu smiled and asked Yue'er to meet with the people of the Xia family.

Xia Zhi got up and led the crescent moon to see Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia: "This is our grandfather and our grandmother." ”

Crescent Moon immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Old Man Xia's eyes turned red, and he and Mrs. Xia were busy helping the crescent moon up. "Good boy, you are blessed with a great life, I am the master, I can't stand you."

Old Man Xia is an upright person.

Tian was beside Xia Xiucai, and his nails were buckled into the flesh of his palm.
