"Sixteen, that kid is so pathetic. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "Aunt Xia said that Xia Zhi was in the Xia family's predicament. Then she took a look at Uncle Guo's face, and told Xia Zhi how to help Mrs. Xia and Little Black Fish. "My mother has suffered a lot for me, otherwise I wouldn't have survived. Now it's her and my little brother who make me worry about ......."

Uncle Guo's face was a little better, and he raised his hand to stop Aunt Xia and didn't let her continue. "It's hard for this kid Sixteen. A dressing box, if you want to sell it in our shop, it will be sold for three taels of silver. The cost of our purchase is also two or two. Gave it to the kid, it's nothing, it's nothing. …… This dressing box sells well, Lao Wu and Lao Wang are out of stock, and they want to balance the goods with me, but I didn't agree to anything. …… We can get these goods, and we have to lose the old face......"

I didn't stop talking for a long time.

Aunt Xia didn't understand what Uncle Guo meant, but she was instructed by Mrs. Xia to look up to the summer solstice. Therefore, I only listened to Uncle Guo's chatter and didn't say anything.

Changsheng picked up the door curtain and came in, and put the dressing box he was holding on the kang table for Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo to see.

Uncle Guo opened the dressing box and saw that in addition to the grate, there was also a box of rouge, a box of incense powder, and some bright head ropes, hair flowers, etc., all of which were extremely exquisite. What was not mentioned in Aunt Xia's instructions just now, Changsheng has prepared it.

Uncle Guo smacked his tongue, raised his eyes to look at his son, and then glanced at Aunt Xia again, and endured not saying anything.

"It's well prepared. Aunt Xia said a word, and went to the West House with the dressing box.

……

"Auntie, is this for me?" Xia Zhi looked at the dressing box that Aunt Xia hugged in front of her.

This dresser is the same as the one on the pearl dresser. However, the pearl is only a pink painted conch peony flower, and the one that Aunt Xia brought her is only a red painted conch and plum blossom pattern.

"It's for you. Your uncle was afraid that you would not be able to use the things when you arrived here, so he specially asked me to take this for you to use. It's the same as your pearl girl. Aunt Xia said with a smile, and asked Xia Zhi to open the makeup box and take a look. "Take a look, isn't it?"

"Sixteen, what your aunt and uncle gave you, you will keep. Open it up and take a look. "The little black fish is urging the summer solstice. Aunt Xia gave Xia Zhi something, and he was happier than if he got something.

Summer Solstice opened the makeup box.

The three-layer makeup box, the top layer should be for toiletries, in addition to a complete set of comb grates, there are white porcelain bottled hair oil, red, pink, blue hair ropes, and hair flowers.

The second layer should be for jewelry, and the bottom layer is slightly larger, and there is a key outside.

The whole makeup box is beautiful and functional.

Pearl leaned over and glanced into the box, and her little face was a little cloudy. Aunt Xia didn't know if she saw it, she ignored the pearls, just asked Xia Zhi to accept the dressing box, and then told Xia Zhi that she picked out those grate head oil-headed flowers for Xia Zhi.

"I don't know what you are rare, so I'll pick the little girl's favorite ones for you. If you are not rare, let your pearl girl take you to the shop tomorrow and pick it yourself. ”

"Eldest sister, you picked it very well. The little black fish made the decision for the summer solstice, "Sixteen, hurry up and accept it, I think this is all suitable." Later, when I make money, I will buy you bigger and better. ”

Pearl couldn't help it, and snorted softly beside her.

When the little black fish heard this, she glanced at the pearl. He thought about it and thought that his niece might be picky. "Pearl, I'll buy it for you later. ”

The corners of Pearl's mouth moved, as if she wanted to pull out a smile, but she didn't pull it out after all. Regarding her grandmother's family background, she listened to her father and mother chatting in private, and she knew her very well. My grandmother's family doesn't have much money, and they are all old, so her uncle will have to rely on herself when she grows up. Where did he get the money, but he was afraid that he would not have enough to live.

"It's still Xiaolong who knows how to hurt his niece and niece. Aunt Xia smiled, told the three children to go to bed early, and went out.

Xia Zhi had already seen that Pearl's face was not quite right, but Aunt Xia was very earnest, and the little black fish was enthusiastic, so she didn't shirk it too much.

Pearl blew out the candles, and the three children lay down on the kang. The little black fish fell asleep after a while. Xia Zhi was also in a daze, and she heard Pearl muttering quietly next to her, what three or four taels of silver goods, and how much is the grate in Changzhou. Xia Zhi smiled secretly, turned over and fell asleep.

In the east room, after Changsheng left, Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo also blew the lamp and lay down.

Uncle Guo sighed: "Changsheng this child, I don't know who to follow, and he is lavish." Sooner or later, this family business will be handed over to him, so how can I rest assured!"

Aunt Xia replied casually: "Changsheng has a good heart." ”

Uncle Guo sighed again: "It's just that the eyes of the heart are too good, and the hands are too loose." ”

Aunt Xia knew what Uncle Guo said about it, so she discussed with him: "There are only a few people in my mother's family, and no one usually comes to shave us." Just these two children came on this trip, and I don't know what year it will be when they come back in the future. I told Changsheng and his grandmother that I couldn't treat them badly. ”

"I didn't let you lose two children. Uncle Guo whispered.

"That's what I intended. Give sixteen a dresser box today, if you want to be really distressed, I will give you the money. Aunt Xia's tone was still plain, without the slightest anger.

Uncle Guo heard that something was wrong: "What is your money, my money, it's not all our family's money." I'm not that stingy, don't you think I'm being humiliated?"

"Okay, okay, you're not stingy, then don't talk about it anymore. Aunt Xia smiled and stopped saying anything about giving money. “…… In addition, I also plan to make a set of clothes for Xiaolong and Sixteen, and it doesn't cost a few dollars. And then there's no use for it. The two children are here, it's a matter of two more pairs of chopsticks. I'm in this house, and I still have this face. ”

"Listen to you, listen to you. ”

The two of them talked about homely things for a while, and then they stopped.

Turning around in the morning, Xia Zhi got up, she opened the dressing box, and only took out the comb grate inside and used it, and the rest of the things were not touched at all. Aunt Xia got up early to see them, and was very happy to see that Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish had packed up.

Xia Zhi returned the dressing box to Aunt Xia. "Auntie, I can use my comb and grate, so I left it. I can't use anything else, and it's a waste of something for me. ”

Saying this, Xia Zhi glanced at Pearl from the corner of his eye. Pearl was sitting at the dresser combing her hair, but her ears were listening to the movement on the summer solstice. Hearing Xia Zhi say this, her face was a little strange.

Yesterday the summer solstice was a happy thing, and this morning I don't want it. The reason for the summer solstice seems to be in the past, and I accepted it when I liked it at the time, and when I wanted to use it now, I found that I couldn't use it, so I returned it to her.

But how could Aunt Xia believe such a thing. It's not that she doesn't understand her daughter's character. Aunt Xia still didn't look at the pearl with a smile on her face, she only stuffed the dressing box back into Xia Zhi's hand.

"Why don't you need it? You kid, you're so careful with your aunt, your aunt is going to be angry. ”

Aunt Xia's attitude is not tolerant of refusal. Xia Zhi hesitated slightly, and the little black fish had already picked up the dressing box from her hand and put it on the kang. "Eldest sister, don't worry about sixteen. I said her. ”

"That's how it should be. Aunt Xia smiled and went to the kitchen to watch breakfast.

The little black fish drooped her eyelids, and only said two words to Xia Zhi: "Keep it." ”

Xia Zhi nodded and said nothing. If she says anything more, the little black fish will definitely break out, and someone will be unlucky at that time.

Aunt Xia's breakfast is relatively simple, with japonica rice porridge, steamed buns stuffed with white flour and pickles and pork, as well as two or three side dishes such as fried peanuts and salted duck eggs.

Uncle Guo ate hastily and took Changsheng forward. After Xia Zhi and the little black fish had eaten, they sat together and discussed things in a low voice.

"What are you two discussing head to head?" Aunt Xia asked with a smile, and told the two children again, "There is something to do with Changsheng today." You two were also tired from the car ride yesterday. Let's play at home today, and let Changsheng take you out for a walk tomorrow. ”

Xia Zhi said to Aunt Xia: "Auntie, my uncle and I want to go out for a walk by ourselves." ”

"How can that work!" Aunt Xia immediately said, "This is not the countryside, and the eight villages are all related to each other. It's okay where you both go. This city is a big place, and there are many and mixed people, and there are everyone. What should you do if you go out and get lost and meet the bad guys?"

"We don't walk around. Xia Zhi smiled and discussed with Aunt Xia, "Uncle and I want to go to Wenshan Academy to have a look." ”

Aunt Xia understood: "Sixteen, do you want to see your father?" Xia Zhi just arrived in Fucheng, and she wanted to see Xia Xiucai, which was also reasonable.

"My dad is probably busy. I'll go to the academy to have a look, and I won't delay my father's business. "The summer solstice said. She has to go to the academy to do some things, and whether she sees Xia Xiucai or not is secondary. But you can't say this to Aunt Xia.

The little black fish was also on the side to help, saying that they would never walk around, and they would not get lost. And they also plan to bring Daqing. With Daqing here, they are not afraid of meeting bad people.

Aunt Xia hesitated, and it happened that Changsheng came in from outside and heard their words.

"Otherwise, I'll send my uncle and Sixteen over. Changsheng said.

Xia Zhi just heard Aunt Xia say that Changsheng had something to do, so he refused to trouble him. "Just tell us how to go, and we'll walk slowly. ”

"Wenshan Academy is in the east of the city, not close to here. You two little children can walk over there. As Aunt Xia spoke, she looked at Changsheng.

Changsheng said again that he would send Xia Solstice and the little black fish over.

Xia Zhi thought about it, if she didn't let Changsheng send it, Aunt Xia would definitely not worry about letting her and Xiao Heiyuer go by herself, even if they took Daqing with her. But she had to go to Wenshan Academy early, and there were some things that she couldn't wait.

"Or that's it. Xia Zhi came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, "Brother Changsheng will send us to Wenshan Academy and come back, so that it won't delay Brother Changsheng's affairs." My uncle and I plan to stay at Wenshan Academy for a day, and when we come back in the evening, my father will definitely be able to arrange it for us, and we don't need Brother Changsheng to pick us up. ”

Send the two children to Wenshan Academy, and the rest really don't have to worry. Aunt Xia thought this method was not bad, so she nodded.

Xia Zhi took the money bag, the little black fish led Daqing, and the two children followed Changsheng to the front yard. The carriage was ready-made, and it turned out that Changsheng was going to go out.

"Send the two of you to Wenshan Academy first, and then I'll go to work. Sitting in the car and walking to the east of the city, Da Liu drove the car, and Changsheng accompanied Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to sit in the car.

The curtain did not fall, and Xia Zhi secretly remembered the road while looking at the scenery on both sides of the street. Daqing lay on the wheel, also looking left and right, and sniffed with his nose from time to time. He's also very good at remembering directions.

Changsheng introduced Fucheng to Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish.

"There are two surnames in our city, uncle, sixteen, do you know?"

"I know. The little black fish rushed to answer. He didn't know anything else, but he had heard about it. "It's Dongcheng Li, Xichengtian, right?"

"That's right. Changsheng smiled, and carefully told Xia Zhi and the little black fish about the origin of this sentence.

The two major families in Fucheng are the most famous and powerful. Among them, the family surnamed Li is a scholarly family. The ancestors of the Li family were two brothers, and they successively became officials in the Jinshi Dynasty. The elder brother became a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and joined the cabinet as the first assistant. The younger brother made the imperial history of the left capital, and later released the governor of Liangguang, and was one of the top feudal officials in the imperial court.

The two brothers later returned to their hometown and jointly established a academy to teach their children and grandchildren to read, which is now Wenshan Academy. The children and grandchildren of the Li family have been passed down from generation to generation, and most of them have taken the path of studying for the imperial examination. After the two brothers, although the children did not enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, there were also more than a dozen Hanlin, and each generation had officials to the second and third rank of the court members.

Today, Wenshan Academy is not only the Li family's family science, but also a wide range of students from all over the world. And the descendants of the Li family have multiplied for generations in Fucheng, and the branches are luxuriant. Because they mainly live in the east of the city, they are called Dongcheng Li.

Xichengtian is the second largest household after the surname Li in Fucheng.

In terms of wealth and population, the Tian family is not below the Li family, and the reason why it ranks after the Li family is because the Li family is noble, while the Tian family started as a businessman. Nowadays, most of the children of the Tian family have taken the imperial examination and become officials in the court, but in general, their foundation and main wealth are still in business.

Almost all the big shops in Xicheng are surnamed Tian. And Li Tian's two families are married to each other, and the relationship between them is also intertwined. The east city is rich and rich, and the west city is rich and expensive.

"From this point of view, this Fucheng is the world of the Li Tian family. Xia Zhi listened to Changsheng's narration and nodded slightly.

Saying this, the carriage had already entered the boundary of Dongcheng, and soon arrived outside the Wenshan Academy. Wenshan Academy, as the name suggests, is named because it was built in Wenshan.

According to Changsheng, Wenshan was originally not called Wenshan, but Qiushan, because the mountain was not high. It was the two ancestors of the Li family who took a fancy to this place, planted trees on the mountain, and encircled the surrounding land to establish a academy. They thought that Qiushan was not good, so they changed it to Wenshan. The academy is also called Wenshan Academy.

Entering the mountain is a bluestone road, which can accommodate two carriages side by side, and there is quite a lot of surplus.

Xia Zhi asked Changsheng to park the car at the entrance of the academy.
