Chapter 214: Revealed
Xia Zhi came out of the house and met Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin head-on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Two children ran over and shouted sister around Xia Zhi.
"What are you two doing, why didn't you go out to play?" Xia Zhi asked with a smile.
"Sister, didn't you ask me to help my second uncle get something just now......" Xiao Shu'er said with a grin.
"yes, what's wrong?" asked Xia Zhi.
"Xiao Linzi and I helped with the things. That old man Zhang gave me two candy to eat, but our master didn't let us both ask for it. Hehe...... "The little tree rubbed ~ and laughed.
"Yes, our master also kicked me and Brother Xiaoshu'er out. Xia Lin nodded, and the little adult agreed.
"Why don't you both ask for it. What are we doing now?"
"I don't know why. That man bought good things for young and old, and I don't think my master seems to be very happy. Our grandfather and our second uncle are talking to that man in the house. Xiao Shu'er told Xia Solstice about the situation. Then, he scratched his head, feeling puzzled by the matter.
"It must make sense that you don't let you take other people's things. Even if he doesn't want to give you candy in front of our grandfather, you can't ask for it, do you hear?" Xia Zhi instructed his two younger brothers.
Xiao Shu'er and Xia Lin both nodded.
"If you want to eat sugar, when we sell the wheat in the future, my sister will buy it for you." Xia Zhi said again, "You guys go play." By the way, where did my uncle go?"
"Uncle just let the old Chen family Xiaodong find it. Xiao Shu'er told Xia Zhi, "Sister, then Xiao Linzi and I will go to find my uncle?"
"Go ahead. Come back early and look at Uncle and Xiaolinzi. ”
"Hey. Xiao Shu'er agreed, and ran away with Xia Lin.
The summer solstice comes to the backyard. When she walked to the courtyard, Mrs. Xia came out of the upper room to greet her.
"Is Layue at home?" Xia Zhi's mind moved slightly, so he asked Mrs. Xia.
Old Mrs. Xia smiled and nodded: "It's in her house." Your three uncles and three aunts all went to the courtyard, and Layue was at home by herself. Sixteen, are you going to play with her?"
"Hmm. Xia Zhi nodded, and did not go to the house, but went to the west wing to find Layue.
Although the wheat was all recovered, there was still straw. This work is not in a hurry, Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia and Xia Qiao went to the yard to clean up, and no one else went.
Layue was cleaning up the house, and when she saw that the summer solstice was coming, she smiled and asked her to sit on the kang. "Sister, I just said that I would look for you after I finished packing. As she spoke, she poured a bowl of sour plum soup for the summer solstice.
The ingredients for this sour plum soup were bought from Fucheng by Xia Zhi, and these days they were distributed to Old Man Xia and Uncle Xia in the backyard. These days, everyone usually drinks this, with rock sugar added to it, sweet and sour, very delicious and relieves the heat.
"The wheat is all back, and now we can relax. In a few days, we will plant soybeans, and our family will have livestock, so we won't have to be so tired. Layue happily busily went back and forth, chattering with Xia Solstice.
Lately, everyone has been tired, but the mood is very good.
While the two were talking, Mrs. Xia came over with a needle and thread in her hand. Xia Zhi was busy letting Mrs. Xia sit on the kang.
"Milk, why are you here?" Xia Zhi gave the sour plum soup that had not yet been touched to Mrs. Xia.
"I don't understand what they say. I'm sitting in the house, and I'm just going to be with you both. Mrs. Xia said with a smile.
"Oh. Xia Zhi nodded, "My lord doesn't seem to want to see the old man Zhang that my second uncle brought." ”
"It's not you~ Ye doesn't want to see anyone, this Master Zhang followed your second uncle, and he didn't have anything to say to you~ Master. It's not a person all the way, you~ Ye can still catch up!" Mrs. Xia said.
Layue brought another bowl of sour plum soup over: "Didn't that Master Zhang buy a lot of things just now." Where are you going?"
"I didn't say where to go to the door. Those cooked foods were all bought for us. Mrs. Xia said, "It seems to be a different person, and I have something to say to you~ Ye......"
Saying this, Mrs. Xia glanced at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi felt a little strange, so he asked Mrs. Xia: "Then what did he suddenly ask my grandfather for?"
Old Lady Xia groaned, although she knew that Xia Zhi was smart, she still didn't expect Xia Zhi to be so sharp, she couldn't escape Xia Zhi's eyes.
There are some things that people can say, but she feels embarrassed to even repeat them.
"I guess so. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Layue before the summer solstice. Although shy, Layue's curiosity is quite heavy. And there are only Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhi here, they are all close to her, and she has become very daring to speak.
"I haven't gotten to the point yet. Mrs. Xia replied, "I see that you~ Ye can't agree to him." ”
The meaning of these words is faintly revealed, Mrs. Xia should know, or guess what the so-called topic is, but it is not easy to say.
Xia Zhi didn't care much, she was thinking about something else now.
"My mother knew that my second uncle was back, and she saw that Mr. Zhang came back from buying things from the town. ”
"Huh?" Mrs. Xia was taken aback and almost pricked her hand with a needle.
"My mother just told me for a long time, which means that she wants my second uncle to help me find rich people in the city for the eldest sister and the second sister, and she said that the three wives and four concubines are fine. That's right......" Speaking of this, Xia Zhi glanced at Layue.
"Sister, you still can't trust me. I'll just listen to it, and I'm sure I won't say it. I won't tell my parents. Layue hurriedly raised her hand to assure, because Xia Solstice didn't speak, she was expecting Ai Aidi, pinching the placket of her clothes with both hands and walking out, but she turned back one step at a time, and she didn't want to go.
Not only is it lively, but it's also going to be coquettish with her!
Xia Zhi thought about it and sneered: "Come on, I can trust you, don't pretend to be pitiful." ”
Layue immediately smiled, walked back and sat next to Xia Zhi.
"Sister, the eldest lady really asked the eldest sister and the second sister to make people small. Layue asked in a low voice. Thanks to Tian, now Layue knows what it means to be small.
"Didn't my mother see that Master Zhang bought a lot of things, so she thought that he was a rich man, and said that the eldest sister could find one like this. I think, if my mother talks to my second uncle, and Master Zhang nods, my mother can let him take the eldest sister away immediately...... "Of course, the premise is to leave enough silver."
"Oops......" Mrs. Xia sighed, she couldn't be the master in this matter. But Xia Zhi opened her mouth and told her that she definitely couldn't do nothing. "Then I'll talk to you later~ Master will tell you this thoroughly......"
"I told my mother that my father was there, so she dispelled this idea as soon as possible. The people of our old Xia family can't afford to lose this person after her!" Xia Zhi said.
Mrs. Xia nodded: "You~ Ye definitely can't agree, so you have to get angry again." After hesitating for a while, Mrs. Xia said again, "I think that old man Zhang is not old at heart." ”
"Milk, how old is he?" asked Layue curiously.
"I didn't know before, just now he said it himself, saying that it was the thirty-fifth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Mrs. Xia said in a whisper, "I married a daughter-in-law first, but I disappeared a year ago, leaving two children at home, one young and one young." The meaning of talking to you~ Ye seems to be planning to continue the strings and marry a grandmother who is in charge, regardless of age......"
As she spoke, Old Lady Xia's eyes glanced at Xia Zhi's body again.
Xia Zhi also glanced at Mrs. Xia.
Xia Zhi didn't say anything, but Mrs. Xia felt that Xia Zhi knew everything, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Layue, uncle, they don't know where to play, you go and look for it. Xia Zhi said to Layue.
"Ah, what's wrong with my uncle?" Layue asked.
"Well, you go and find it. Xia Solstice nodded.
Layue happily agreed, and trotted out to find the little black fish.
After taking the moon away, Xia Zhi looked at Mrs. Xia and asked, "Milk, there is no one else here." You have something to tell me. ”
"Sixteen, I can't hide anything from you. Ay...... I'm guessing, too, people haven't said it yet. I think I should like you to be shrewd and capable. Your second uncle is a person who hasn't slipped away, if he dares to say it, he will wait to be scolded by you~ master. Mrs. Xia said to Xia Zhi at this time.
Mrs. Xia said that it was a guess, but Xia Zhi thought about the way Mr. Zhang looked at her, Second Uncle Xia was extraordinarily affectionate to her later, and Mr. Zhang suddenly and generously bought back a lot of things, and so on, Mrs. Xia's guess is eight ~ nine times out of ten.
Xia Zhi laughed twice.
"Sixteen, don't be angry, it's not worth it. Mrs. Xia was in a hurry, and hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand, and comforted Xia Zhi, "I don't want to tell you, I just thought that if they told you~ Ye, you~ Ye would definitely not be able to agree." You don't need to know about this, it's just that you will be angry. ”
But Xia Zhi is too keen to hide it at all. There is also the attitude of the Tian family that Xia Zhi just said.
"I didn't want to say it yet, but I'm afraid of you~ Niang really talked to your second uncle, if your second uncle told you directly~ Niang......" Mrs. Xia was worried that Tian's eyes would open when she saw the money, so she nodded and agreed, so she told Xia Zhi, and it was also to make Xia Zhi a little mentally prepared, and it would be better if she could come up with a countermeasure in advance.
"Milk, you're worried. ”
"The guy surnamed Zhang doesn't know what he thinks, how old are you. He's about the same age as your father. If she really wants to find a house, take care of the children for him, and have to take care of the house, she has to find someone of the same age. Even if you are young, you shouldn't ...... These men...... He was a toad who wanted to eat the swan meat. Sixteen, don't worry, you~ Ye will definitely not agree......"
Before Mrs. Xia finished speaking, she heard footsteps in the courtyard, followed by Tian's voice.
"I heard that his second uncle is back?"
Tian actually took the initiative to come to the backyard to find Second Uncle Xia!
Xia Zhi and Mrs. Xia glanced at each other, and the two hurriedly came out of the west wing. But there are people who are faster than their legs. Second Uncle Xia heard Tian's voice in the upper room and immediately came out to greet him.
"Sister-in-law, hello sister-in-law. Second Uncle Xia smiled with a smile on his face, and also bowed to Tian like a scholar. After a little greeting, he introduced Master Zhang who came out behind him to the Tian family, "This is Master Zhang of Fucheng, a rich man with a net worth of millions, haha...... My good friend, what a person......"
Second Uncle Xia didn't say specifically what Master Zhang did, but only told Tian that he was worth millions and was a rich man. This kind of introduction, if it is a different person, it is very rude. But in the face of Tian's family, Uncle Xia's introduction method can be said to be to his liking.
Just like Tian said, after so many years, she knows the temperament of Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia very well, and similarly, Second Uncle Xia also understands Tian's psychology.
Master Zhang politely saluted the Xiantian clan and addressed him as a talented lady. Tian really dressed up as a talented lady, and he also bent his knees to return a blessing to Master Zhang, and the smile on his face was a little bigger.
Second Uncle Xia is also a clever person. He looked in the direction of the upper room. He and Master Zhang both came out to welcome the Tian clan, but Old Man Xia did not come out. Then, he looked at Xia Zhi and Mrs. Xia who came out of the west wing.
Second Uncle Xia made a decision immediately: "I just said that I was going to say hello to my sister-in-law, and it happened that my sister-in-law came." Sister-in-law, otherwise...... Just go to your house? Mr. Zhang also wants to say hello to his sister-in-law......"
This sentence Yu Tian is indeed happy to descend from the sky, and she is not happy to be so. If she had known that Second Uncle Xia had this attitude, she would not have hurried to the backyard.
"Okay, okay, I'm about to ask the second brother and ...... Mr. Zhang came to my house to sit down. Tian said immediately. There are many things that can't be said in front of Old Man Xia. When she came over, she was also going to ask Second Uncle Xia to go to the front yard.
Second Uncle Xia also said yes. That old man Zhang nodded again and again and said, "My things there ......"
"Just bring it with you. Second Uncle Xia said immediately, and then ran back to the upper house and took out a bunch of rulers, brocade boxes, and candy snacks.
Master Zhang was busy and took some hugs.
Tian was surprised and delighted. The two men said they were going to the front yard, and they took these things and gave them to her. That's a ...... Joy from the sky.
Tian vaguely understood that there must be some reason for this. But at the moment, she didn't want to think about it, and the most important thing was to bring people over first.
A few people were going to the front yard.
Old Man Xia walked out of the upper room.
"Second brother, where are you going?" Old Man Xia's face was gloomy, and his tone was also very stern. He looked at Second Uncle Xia, and there were many meanings in his eyes that were difficult to express in words. He hoped that Second Uncle Xia would understand, and not force him to say it.
But Second Uncle Xia only glanced at Old Man Xia in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Dad, I'll say a few words to my sister-in-law." My sister-in-law must have something to say, or something to bring to my eldest brother. Dad, I'll be back in a while, I'll be back in a while. ”
Saying this, he secretly gave Tian and Master Zhang a look, meaning to leave quickly.
Tian couldn't wait for this, so he left first, and didn't bother to talk to Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia at all. At the same time, she didn't care about the summer solstice.
has been in contact with Second Uncle Xia, so there is no need for Xia Zhi to run errands for her.
The three of them blew out of the backyard like a gust of wind.
