As for the old Hanlin and Mrs. Hanlin in the Li family, there are now a few more relatives of the five mothers of the Li family.

and Li Shanchang.

Although Li Shanchang's attitude does not seem to be clear, the nine aunts and wives unanimously believe that Li Shanchang recognizes Xia Zhi's daughter-in-law.

"In the final analysis, it's still Li Xia. Crescent Moon also said in a low voice.

Li Xia is powerful, and everything else is meaningful.

For this, the summer solstice is extremely in favor. With a temperament like Crescent Moon, she doesn't seem to have any expectations for emotional matters, but she sees emotional matters very clearly.

The two sisters talked for a while, and then a little girl came to report that the two daughters-in-law of Liu Ju's family had eaten and were going to leave.

On the summer solstice, the crescent moon will come out. The two daughters-in-law were very polite to the crescent moon, and even more polite to the summer solstice, and they added a little more caution. Yueya'er brought a reply from Mrs. Jiugu, and sent the two daughters-in-law with kind words.

Now the crescent moon is already the number one girl in front of Mrs. Jiugu. She can make decisions for Mrs. Jiugu in many things, and she doesn't need Mrs. Jiugu to come forward. And Mrs. Jiugu specially asked her to entertain these two daughters-in-law, also because she wanted to marry her to Liu Fengcai.

A crab feast is already prepared in the kitchen. The crabs sent by Liu Juren were really good, and it was estimated that the best ones that could be picked out in the family were sent to Mrs. Jiugu.

With the hot champion red, the crab feast on the summer solstice was very satisfying. After eating crabs at Mrs. Jiugu's place, Xia Zhi sat for a while, and then returned with the crabs sent by Mrs. Jiugu.

Not far from Tianfu, Xia Zhi asked the coachman to take a detour, saying that he wanted to go to the shop with a little lip. Naturally, the carriage passed in front of the Tribute Courtyard.

There are already candidates coming out of it.

The coachman slowed down without being instructed. Xia Zhi picked up the corner of the curtain and looked out, and then she saw Li Xia.

A group of people surrounded Li Xia, most of them were the entourage of the Li Mansion, as well as the candidates who came out of the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy with Li Xia, and then Xia Qiao took Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Shu'er.

The little black fish first saw the carriage of the summer solstice: "Sixteen ......"

Li Xia immediately turned his head, and his gaze met Xia Zhi's gaze. Li Xia's spirit was very full, and he looked at Xia Zhi with a smile on his face.

Xia Zhi felt that his mood was also more light.

Soon, Li Xia separated from several other candidates and walked over with Xia Qiao, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Heiyu'er.

"Sixteen ......" Li Xia looked at Xia Zhi with a smile, and he knew that even if Xia Zhi couldn't send him into the examination room, he would think of coming to see him.

"Sixteen, you're just in time. The little black fish said.

The summer solstice came by coincidence, and it happened to meet Li Xia coming out. They waited in the teahouse for a long time before Li Xia came out.

Li Xia was not the first batch to come out, but he came out relatively early.

"How?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia.

"It's ok. Li Xia replied.

On the issue of the township test, the two only exchanged these four words. Xia Zhi asked Li Xia if he wanted to go home. She had already seen the steward of the Li family looking at them beside her.

"It's going back. Li Xia replied, in fact, according to his wishes, he wanted to jump into the carriage and follow Xia Zhi back to Ninghua Hall.

Xia Zhi is able to understand Li Xia.

On such a day, and it is also a critical time for them to discuss marriage, Li Xia must go back to Li's house to have dinner with Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian.

Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian should also be waiting for Li Xia to go back and ask him how he did in the exam.

"I just came from Jiugu, a good crab from Mr. Liu. I guess Mr. Liu also sent it to your family, but it may not be a good ......," Xia Zhi smiled and asked the person who served with the car to divide half of the basket of crabs and give it to Li Xia.

"You eat less, just taste it. Xia Zhi also told Li Xia that he was afraid that he would eat the crabs and eat them badly, and then delay the next township test.

Li Xiale asked people to pick up the crabs, and then found a topic to chat with Xia Zhi: "...... Jiugu is good?"

"Jiugu is very good, but she is worried about you and Tian Kuo. Tian Kuo hasn't come out yet?"

"It should be the next one. He was a step too late to come out with us, and had to wait until there were enough people to come out. Li Xia replied.

The people who followed the Tian family were already waiting at the door.

"Then you should go back and rest early. Xia Zhi said to Li Xia.

"I'm not tired. ”

The two of them just spoke lightly.

The little black fish felt that Li Xia and Xia Solstice seemed to be different from usual. The two of them would never say such a bland and tasteless thing.

But to say that it is bland and boring, it seems that something is wrong.

The little black fish didn't understand the relationship between these children, so she looked at it in wonder, and frowned. He felt that both Xia Zhi and Li Xia were a little strange.

After saying a few more words, the steward of the Li family came over to urge. Li Xia had no choice but to say goodbye to Xia Zhi and return to the Li Mansion.

Xia Zhi also took Xia Qiao back to Ninghua Hall.

In order to wait for Li Xia outside the examination room, Xia Qiao and the others did not have lunch, but they had some refreshments. And Sun Lan'er didn't eat in order to wait for Xia Qiao.

Xia Zhi was busy and asked the kitchen to make the crabs she brought back.

As soon as she ordered to go down here, someone from the Li family came. It turned out that Li Xia sent a large basket of crabs over.

This crab is from the Li family's Zhuangzi, and it is also very good. Li Xia must have returned home and immediately asked people to send crabs to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi got a few crabs, and he had to give half of them to Li Xia. Li Xia happily accepted it, turned his head and sent his own crab to Xia Zhi.

Sun Lan'er laughed beside her.

Xia Zhi ignored Sun Lan'er. A few of them couldn't eat so many crabs, so Xia Zhi asked people to send some to Aunt Xia and Tian Laibao, and then sent some to Xia Xiucai in the academy.

The rest of the crabs will be handled by the kitchen people on the summer solstice, and dishes such as crab roe buns and spicy fried crabs will be made at night.

Chili peppers have long been popularized in Pak Chin Province and are gradually spreading to various places.

……

The three township exams were completed quickly, and on the day the results were released, the summer solstice got up early in the morning. Xia Qiao got up earlier than she did, and was already dressed neatly. He told Xia Zhi that he was going to see the list.

Little Tree and Little Black Fish will also follow.

Although these two children are a few years older, their mischievous and lively tempers have not changed much. And it's not just a buzz today.

They also knew how Li Xiakao was related to Li Xia and Xia Zhi's family affairs, so they were particularly concerned about this matter.

"If a person crowds someone, he will be squeezed out again. "The summer solstice doesn't let the little black fish and the little tree go.

The little black fish and the little tree are going to go.

"Sixteen, aren't you going with us?" the little black fish also asked the summer solstice.

"I'll wait for you to come back and tell me it's the same. Xia Zhi said, and then instructed Xia Qiao, and arranged for someone to protect the little black fish and the little tree.

The three of them went out and came back quickly.

Before they could enter the door, the voice came in.

Xia Zhi was sitting opposite Sun Lan'er doing needlework. She was a little absent-minded, and when the little black fish's voice came in, she was accidentally pricked in the finger by a needle.

"Li Xia has passed the exam. The little black fish came in and shook its hands happily.

Li Xia's promotion in the examination is expected.

Sun Lan'er hurriedly asked Xiao Heiyu'er: "Uncle, what is the first time that Li Xiagongzi has taken the exam?"

"Guess. The little black fish stood with his hands behind his back, but refused to speak.

The summer solstice is to understand the little black fish. The demeanor of the little black fish has given a clear answer.

At this moment, the summer solstice only feels that the sky is high and the sky is wide, and the cool breeze is blowing, and sure enough, autumn is the best season.

"I can't guess, did you get the first place in the exam?" Sun Lan'er said to the little black fish.

The little black fish looked at the summer solstice: "Sixteen, you guess." ”

"I can't guess. "The summer solstice is faint.

The little black fish stared at Xia Solstice for a while, and was a little dissatisfied. He pouted, "Sixteen, you're not interesting. ”

"Uncle, tell me, you let me guess. "The summer solstice said.

The little black fish can't really be angry with the summer solstice. He immediately rejoiced, and while jumping into the heights, he announced loudly: "Li Xia has taken the first exam, and he is Xie Yuan of our Beizhen Mansion." ”

At this time, Xia Qiao led Xiaoshu'er in, and the brothers also had happy smiles on their faces.

"Brother Li Xia has passed the exam. ”

One thing, but double happiness. Because of this, Mrs. Tian no longer had any reason to stop Li Xia and Xia Zhi from marrying.

"Sixteen, you have to send a letter to my family quickly. Xia Qiao discussed with Xia Zhi.

"Hmm. Xia Solstice nodded.

The next thing is that Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er will play for her. Aunt Xia, Tian Laibao, Yueya Er and others all came over to congratulate Xia Zhi when they got the news.

Tian Kuo also took the time to come over.

Although Tian Kuo's ranking is not as good as Li Xia, he also passed the examination this time. For the Tian family, this is also a double happiness.

“…… When the time comes, I will give you double gifts. Tian Kuo said very heroically that he was really happy for the summer solstice.

Li Xia took a test to solve the yuan, and for several days in a row, there were various congratulatory banquets. Li Xia couldn't come to Ninghuatang, he didn't carry letters, but he asked people to send things to Xia Solstice every day, and they were not particularly rare and precious things, but small things.

The summer solstice has collected things well. She suddenly vaguely remembered a certain lyric, which seemed to be the cliché taste of love.

And her relationship with Li Xia was finally officially proposed by the Li family.

Mrs. Tian didn't even do any more obstruction.

The Li family invited Lao Hanlin and Mrs. Lao Hanlin to be big matchmakers. At this time, Xia Zhi had to believe some of the words of Li Xia and Mrs. Jiugu.

Mrs. Tian probably didn't really hate her either. Judging from the selection of the matchmaker alone, Mrs. Tian still attaches great importance to her feelings, and should make her as comfortable and decent as possible.

Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia received Xia Qiao's letter, and they quickly brought the letter over, naturally they were very happy for Xia Zhi.

Li Xia and Xia Zhi made a marriage so smoothly.

After getting married, Li Xia happened to be not as busy as before, so he appeared in Ninghuatang frequently.

After the marriage, the matter between the two is decided, Li Xia is not afraid of letting Mrs. Tian be picky, so there is no need to endure not coming to see the summer solstice.

The two of them also spoke back to normal. Li Xia thought about it and felt that it was very sweet these days. But Xia Zhi didn't cooperate, and Li Xia couldn't help it.

It seems to be Tian Kuo's wedding date.

This is what Xia Zhi and Li Xia talked about the most when they were together. And the wedding date of the two of them is set for next year's wax moon.

There is another year, when the summer solstice will be seventeen years old, and it is a good time to get married. In fact, according to Li Xia's thoughts, he wanted to marry Xia Zhi immediately. However, Xia Zhi wants to further straighten out his industry before getting married, and the Li family also has arrangements for Li Xia's future.

Now that the relationship with Li Xia has been decided, Xia Zhi is not in a hurry to marry him. As a person who has already made a marriage, she doesn't have any pressure, and she doesn't have to worry about Old Man Xia having a few more gray hairs because she will become a leftover girl.

"Tian Kuo was in front of him......" Li Xia complained to Xia Zhi.

Because Tian Kuo is always said, Xia Zhi suddenly thought of He Bing'er. She thought about it and asked Li Xia.

“…… It's okay, fine clothes and food, that kind of family, that's it. Li Xia was faint.

He Bing'er is now living the life of a standard daughter-in-law of a big family.

Although they are in the same capital and have grown up together since childhood, after He Bing'er got married, Li Xia had very little contact with her.

"Oh," Xia Zhi nodded in understanding, "Tian Kuo and I have been separated for a long time that day, I guess he is embarrassed to ask you, so he wants to ask me about He Bing'er......"

Li Xia was silent for a while.

A good brother who grew up together, Li Xia knows better than anyone that Tian Kuo's heart has not completely let go of He Bing'er.

Tian Kuo carried the clear. Wu Niang is also a good girl. ”

Moreover, He Bing'er has long been married to a woman, and she is thousands of miles away, so there is really nothing to worry about.

Xia Solstice also let go of this matter.

Tian Kuo's wedding feast and the summer solstice naturally went. She sat on the table for a while, and then went to the new house to accompany the Li family's five mothers.

Li Wuniang was very happy when she saw the summer solstice. "I'll just say you must have come early to see me. ”

Li Wuniang looks delicate, but her face is red ~ moist at the moment, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows reveal the shyness and joy of the bride.

Li Wuniang likes Tian Kuo. Marrying Tian Kuo was a good fortune she never dreamed of.

Xia Zhi accompanied Li Wuniang to talk. Li Wuniang's words were thoughtful and asked how Tian Kuo was doing at the table. Xia Zhi told her that Tian Kuo was very happy and was socializing with relatives and friends.

"But don't worry, there are many people who block the wine for him, and the drink will not hurt him. Xia Zhi also said with a smile.

"I have something to worry about. It's you, are you worried that Brother Li Xia will drink too much. Li Wuniang in turn teased Xia Zhi.

"Drink as much as you want. They are closer than brothers. Tian Kuo and the major events of your life, he is almost happier than Tian Kuo. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Li Wuniang felt very happy when she heard it: "They are really good." When I was a child, I always saw the two of them together, fighting and fighting, not really kissing, can't be like that......"

Saying this, Li Wuniang paused, as if she thought of something that she was not very happy about.

Xia Zhi looked at Li Wuniang inquiringly, but Li Wuniang had already covered her expression.
