Chapter 290: A Little Abacus

"What a girl. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I talked to June last night. "Second Aunt Xia's indifferent attitude.

"It's that girl, she looks very good, and I look good. I remembered it just now. Why do I think she has a good face, she looks like sixteen! Second Uncle Xia said exaggeratedly.

"What?" Aunt Xia was taken aback this time, but it was only for a while, and then she didn't think it was the same thing. "If a person looks like him, can he be compared to sixteen handsome?"

"It's not like sixteen." Second Uncle Xia pointed at the situation and said, "Do you remember Da Yue'er?" ”

"I don't remember. Didn't she let her mother sell it a long time ago, and I don't know if she's still alive now. Aunt Xia said.

"Then do you remember that Da Yue'er has a birthmark on her wrist? I was born, and it's ...... here," Second Uncle Xia pointed to the position of his wrist.

"Remember, it wasn't her father who said that the birthmark was like a crescent moon, so he made the decision to name it Otsuki. The next few girls, let's June, May or something, if you want to say that they are all given with the name of Da Yue'er. Aunt Xia nodded.

"That girl has a birthmark on this piece, exactly the same as Da Yue'er!" Second Uncle Xia said.

Aunt Xia was stunned.

"I don't think it's such a coincidence in this world. That girl should be Da Yue'er. Unexpectedly, all these years Da Yue'er has been in the Tian family in Fucheng! It's also a little wrong, if she has been in the city, how can she communicate with her family or something. Hey, it doesn't matter, she must be Da Yue'er anyway. Second Uncle Xia said to himself.

"That's a good thing." Aunt Xia said, "I didn't expect to find Da Yue'er." Then let's have someone send a letter to Sixteen and her uncle now? ”

"What letter?" Second Uncle Xia looked at Second Aunt Xia and asked.

Second Aunt Xia was stunned again: "What's the matter, don't you send them a letter?" ”

"What kind of letter?!" Second Uncle Xia sneered, "Wait until I slowly and secretly visit again, and I have a quasi-letter, and then I'll talk about it." ”

"Why are you so enthusiastic, you have that spare time? Now give Sixteen a letter, can't she have a son, let her find it herself. I see that she will say this and that, her sister will be a girl for others, I don't care about her, how can I care? Aunt Xia said.

Second Uncle Xia sneered: "Big brother, they have been pressing us all these years, and the sister-in-law knows what to do and how to be sophisticated." Sixteen are all looking at us from under our noses. You say, if you let the family know that they have a girl and a sister, then what should the world say! Hey, hey, hey! ”

Second Uncle Xia laughed proudly.

Only then did Aunt Xia understand that Second Uncle Xia wanted to use Da Yue'er to deal with Xia Xiucai, Tian's and Xia Zhi.

"What do you like, I don't have time to care about you." As Aunt Xia spoke, she got up and went to the back to serve Zhang Qiao'er.

As soon as Aunt Xia left, May and July walked out from behind the screen. Just now, Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia heard the words, and the two of them heard it.

"Dad, do you see it? Sister Da Yue'er really makes a girl? "I asked Second Uncle Xia in May.

"If you look at it, you can't go wrong. Don't look at other people's being girls, the dress is no worse than you. The girl of the Nanfu Tian family. I don't give this letter, but it's actually good for Da Yue'er. If her mother knew that she was a girl in the Tian family, she would definitely have to think of asking her for things and money to fill the bottomless pit of their Tian family. ”

May knew that the reason why Second Uncle Xia concealed the news and did not report it was definitely not out of any good intentions. She smiled: "Dad, this is for Sister Da Yue'er." ”

"That's, that's." Second Uncle Xia laughed proudly again.

"Dad, when are you going to take me to take a sneak peek at her?" In May, she discussed with Second Uncle Xia that she was still very curious about Da Yue'er, who was a girl in Nanfu Tian's house.

"Wait and see, when I get right, I'll take you there." Second Uncle Xia was in a good mood and happily agreed to May.

May smiled happily.

At this time, a little girl came over and said that Zhang Qiaoer wanted to go over in May to talk with her. May hurriedly got up and went. July pouted~ and hesitated, but finally did not go with May, but sat on a chair angrily.

"Look at you, why don't you learn from your sister. Not clever at all! ”

"I just don't stammer like my sister, what's wrong?" July said with his eyes wide open.

"You, you're reasonable!" Second Uncle Xia glared at Qiyue, and then softened again. He's in a good mood right now. "Come on, our family is not what it used to be. If you're like this, your father will be able to find you a good son-in-law when the time comes. ”

July's face flushed, and he got up and left.

Second Uncle Xia laughed.

When Xia Zhi, Li Xia, and Little Black Fish returned to Xishi Street, June and Gu Yong had already been talking in Aunt Xia's house for a while.

June's eye circles are still a little red.

Aunt Xia secretly gave Xia Zhi a look. Xia Zhi knew that as she and Aunt Xia expected, Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia wanted to separate June and Gu Yong.

“…… It's all my life. Gu Yong treats me well, my parents-in-law treat me well, and I admit it when I suffer and suffer. "June is very willing.

suffered and suffered, but they didn't want to continue to be poor, otherwise they wouldn't have come to Fucheng to find Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia.

Xia Zhi asked Gu Yong what small business he planned to do.

"I'm going to be a merchant." Gu Yong told Xia Zhi.

It turns out that the village where the Gu family is located is far less convenient than Daxingzhuang, and the business is more developed. People in the village often rely on the merchant to buy things. Further afield, in the mountains, this is even more so.

Being a merchant must endure some hardships, but then the profit is guaranteed.

However, if the merchant's business is to be good, the goods must be complete and fresh, which requires not only money, but also a channel to buy the goods.

"Brother-in-law, how much money do you need for your own calculations?" Xia Zhi asked again. She saw that Gu Yong was a reliable and responsible person, so she was more willing to help him and June in her heart.

Speaking of silver money, Gu Yong was a little embarrassed. But they all worked hard to come to Fucheng, and Gu Yong obviously did psychological construction.

"I've calculated with your sister June, it will take about three ...... Two or three taels of silver are enough......"

This is not to say more.

Xia Solstice has a number in his heart. She returned to the West House, opened her box and took out a bag of ten taels of silver, and returned to the East House to hand it to Gu Yong and June.

"This is ten taels of silver, for you to make capital."

Gu Yong and June were both taken aback. Even if it was their most optimistic idea, Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia were willing to lend them money, but they didn't dare to think about ten taels of silver. For them, if they can borrow four or five taels of silver, it will be up to the sky, and it will be enough for them.

Xia Zhi took out ten taels of silver at once, if it wasn't for Aunt Xia telling them how to make money just now, they would have been even more surprised.

But even so, ten taels of silver is too much.

"Not much." Xia Zhi waved his hand, "If the goods are not complete, they will not be sold, since you want to be a merchant, you have to complete the goods." In addition, the aunt and aunt-in-law at home are not in good health and can't do heavy work, right? ”

"Yes." June's expression was sad.

If it weren't for the second elder's broken health, their life would never be the way it is now.

"And my younger siblings are still young, so I can't help much, right? These money, you can also run a grocery store or something, the second old man does not go to the ground, look at the grocery store at home, and you can also have a few cents of income every day. "Younger siblings can help too.

June and Gu Yong suddenly realized that Xia Zhi took out ten taels of silver in this arrangement.

The summer solstice was too thoughtful for them.

Grocery stores, they can't even think of it, that's bigger than the cost of the merchant. If the family really opened a grocery store, people from several nearby villages would come to buy things, and the two elderly people would not have to work in the fields, not to mention, they would still have a fixed income.

That's really ......

Gu Yong and June were speechless in gratitude.

Xia Zhi smiled: "I can't help with the purchase of goods." However, you don't have to go far away to beg others ......" As he spoke, he motioned to June and Gu Yong and asked them to ask Aunt Xia for help.

Aunt Xia is a very perceptive person, where do you still use June and Gu Yong to ask for help.

"It just so happens that our family is also in the grocery store business, so I'll talk to your uncle in a moment. If you don't take care of your nieces and aunts, who are you waiting to take care of! ”

When I said this, everyone was very happy.

"Sixteen, we will definitely pay back this money." June and Gu Yong also said to the summer solstice.

"Don't worry, you guys slowly get through the days first." The summer solstice said.

June and Gu Yong's gratitude to the summer solstice can no longer be expressed in words.

"Our grandfather and grandmother know that you are not doing well, and we always think about it in our hearts, so we will talk about it when we think about it, and sigh for a long time." Xia Zhi mentioned Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia again.

June and Gu Yong both remembered the good coming of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. Compared with the father and mother who hate the poor and love the rich, the kind grandparents seem to be closer.

Xia Zhi brushed a lot of favorability for Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and at the same time, when she didn't know it, everyone present was even more convinced of her.

As he was talking, Uncle Guo came in at a trot from outside.

"Tian family, Tian Qiye's family sent someone." Uncle Guo's face turned red, and he couldn't speak neatly.

After a while, everyone understood the reason why Uncle Guo was so out of shape.

The gift sent by Tian Qi was too dazzling.

When he came back from the summer solstice, he told Tian Qi that he didn't want any thanks. Now looking at the almost piled up of things in the yard, he looked at the steward who sent the things with a kitchen knife.

But he is a very good talker. He told Xia Zhi that these things were not thank-you gifts, and Tian Qiye gave Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyu'er a meeting gift. In addition, knowing that they were going back to Daxingzhuang tomorrow, he also asked them to pay more respects to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia for Tian Qiye.

The other things are the gifts that Tian Qiye gave to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.

"It's just something inconspicuous, you can't take it, Miss Xia, don't dislike it." The steward's companion said with a smile.

The meeting gift between herself and the little black fish can be refused on the summer solstice, but Tian Qi wants to worship Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, so she can't refuse too absolutely.

"Miss Xia doesn't let her eyebrows go, she is the most refreshing person. If the girl doesn't take these things seriously, if the girl doesn't accept them, it's not the grace that the girl should have. "This person in charge will also use the method of agitation.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment. They have formed a relationship with the Tian Qi family, and if they really refuse to be thousands of miles away, it will seem high-minded and a little hurtful.

"Alright, alright. I can see Tian Qiye's temper. Is he always like this? People pay attention to one car or two cars when they send things, and we Tian Qiye send things, we have to use one mountain and two mountains to say! ”

As soon as Xia Zhi said this, everyone present, including those from the Tian family, laughed.

"Aunt Xia, you're right. However, our seventh master is also the one who looks at the right eye. The steward laughed.

"Okay. I took the things, but I didn't take them all. There were so many that I couldn't even get them back. "The summer solstice said.

"It's not a problem, why don't we send another car to the girl to take her home?" The steward immediately said that it seemed that it had been arranged in advance.

But Xia Zhi still didn't want the Tian family to pull a few carts of things to Daxingzhuang.

"I'll pick some, just one car. In the future, it's not like we won't have dealings with Tian Qiye. "The summer solstice said.

Tian Qi is strong, and Xia Solstice is not weak. She led the little black fish and began to pick things.

Maybe it's because Li Xia told Tian Qi, or maybe it's because the people of the Tian family see that she and Xiao Heiyuer like to eat fresh fruits sent from the south, so in this gift, there are several baskets of rare things sent from the south. Xia Zhi looked at it and took all these things.

In addition, she also left a few rulers, two delicate longevity hairpins, a model of a big boat, a pair of porcelain bottles, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Those more gorgeous rulers, jewelry, ornaments and toys and the like, the summer solstice let the Tian family take them back.

"We have completely received the Seventh Master's wishes."

The person in charge had no choice, and Xia Zhi did a very decent job, and he could pay the difference when he went back, so he bowed and agreed. There are not many things to pick up on the summer solstice, so there is no need for the Tian family to send another carriage.

After sending away the people of the Tian family, Aunt Xia and the others had not yet reacted from their shock.

Xia Zhi didn't need them to ask, so he told her and the little black fish how she saved Tian Mi'er.

Uncle Guo blushed excitedly, rubbing ~ hands: "Oops, oops......" What kind of chance is this, others can't even dream of it, and they can't ask God to worship Buddha. The two children, Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish...... It's really a noble person.

"This godfather, you should admit it." Uncle Guo couldn't help but say.

Aunt Xia knew her husband best, so she quietly gave Uncle Guo a look and asked him not to say much.

"Sixteen is definitely a matter of consideration. I think that's good. "Aunt Xia is in favor of Xia Zhi's decision. In her opinion, Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish have such a friend as Li Xia, and they are already worry-free in Beizhen Mansion.

Beifutian's power is huge and complex, and both black and white dominate. It was precisely for this reason that the Tian family was separated from the north and the south. That was the wisdom of the ancestors of the Tian family.

As long as Xia Zhi maintains a good relationship with Beifutian, it is enough, and it is the smartest thing to do.
