Chapter 531: Awkward
Xia Zhi didn't take what Mrs. Xia, Tian's family, and Aunt Xia said to heart, but she couldn't bear to tell her these people in the Xia family every day.
Xia Zhi felt that in just one or two days, her ears had grown a thick layer of calluses. She prides herself on being a person with more ideas, but in the end she didn't hold on, and was packed and sent to the car by the big guy.
In previous years, she would not return to Fucheng until the twelfth or thirteenth day of the first month at least in Daxingzhuang's house, but this year, just after the eighth day of the new year, she came back.
Of course, the little black fish and the little tree came back with her. In addition, Xia Xiucai is also back. Xia Xiucai can't rest assured that his students, he really likes to teach.
The Tian family also wants to come to Fucheng with Xia Zhi, which may be that the heart of a mother has finally attacked. But Xia Zhi felt that Tian's should be a bigger face of vanity. Tian simply can't tolerate his daughter being robbed of a man by others. Tian felt that this would be very embarrassing for her.
Of course, Tian also likes Li Xia very much. Tian thought that if Xia Zhi lost Li Xia, it would be difficult for her to find such a wishful uncle.
Anyway, the summer solstice is back early.
Li Xia knew the news and came to pick her up.
Li Xia was quite strange about why Xia Zhi came back so early. "Didn't you say you would stay at home until twelve before you came back?
Xia Zhi deliberately glanced at Li Xia obliquely. In any case, she was too embarrassed to say the real reason. But because the cause was Li Xia, Xia Zhi didn't have a good reputation for Li Xia.
"You are in the city, if something happens in my shop or workshop, don't you know?"
Li Xia immediately noticed that Xia Zhi didn't seem to be in a good mood. Whether it was because of him or because of something else to anger him, Li Xia did not complain.
He was very happy that Xia Zhi could come back early, so he smiled at Xia Zhi. "Sixteen, you said yes. I'm glad you're back. You're not in Fucheng, so that's all my business. …… Surely nothing happened, and if something happened, I would have to do it for you. ”
So, why did you come back on the summer solstice?
Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia this time: "My grandfather, my mother, and my mother, my aunt, the big guy brought me back." ”
"How could they pick you up?" Li Xia was puzzled. But he was the most intelligent and discerning man, and he quickly guessed something as he thought about it. "It's good to come back early. It's time to have a light in the next two days. Sixteen, I'll watch the lights with you. My father and my mother are still talking about you, and they are all worried about you for a few days after you left......"
Li Xia has such a good attitude, and when he said these words, even if Xia Zhi was in a bad mood, it was sunny at this time.
Li Xia saw that Xia Zhi's complexion had improved, and his heart was more stable. The two of them arrived at Ninghua Hall while talking.
Everyone sat down and talked.
What Xia Xiucai and Li Xia said was serious, and the three sentences were inseparable from reading and learning. Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Shu'er went inside to change their clothes and came out, and the two looked at Li Xia at a glance.
Li Xia was almost hairy when he was looked at. But he can bear it, but he doesn't ask the little black fish and the little tree.
It was still the temper of the little black fish, and he suddenly asked Li Xia: "Li Xia, what Bing'er is, is it at your house or at Tian Kuo's house?"
Li Xia didn't answer immediately, but paused.
This time, even Xia Xiucai became suspicious. Xia Xiucai himself actually didn't have this kind of mind, but Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia, Tian and others also whispered in his ear.
In short, even if Xia Xiucai doesn't listen to anything outside the window. He also has to pay attention to the matter of the summer solstice. After all, he is Xia Zhi's father and Li Xia's future father-in-law, and there are some things that Xia Zhi is not easy to say, he can say it.
The big guys all looked at Li Xia.
Xia Zhi also looked at Li Xia, but she was not as serious as others, she was smiling now.
Li Xia's forehead was almost sweating.
Although Xia Zhi didn't mention a word to him, but it was normal for him to guess that the people of the Xia family must be uneasy, coupled with the appearance of Xiao Heiyuer, Xiao Shu'er and Xia Xiucai, Li Xia still didn't understand anything.
Although the answer to this question was a little embarrassing, Li Xia couldn't lie to Xia Zhi yet.
"Sixteen, I was about to tell you this. Bing'er her, she's in my house now. ”
As soon as Li Xia's words fell, the little black fish jumped up. He pointed at Li Xia, as if Li Xia had done something that could not be done on the summer solstice.
"It's a long story. Li Xia hurriedly explained. He had no doubt that if he explained slowly, the little black fish would pounce on him and beat him.
"What is there to say. The little black fish was menacing, "She can't live in your house." Or you can get her away. Or you move out. Yes, if you move out, you will marry ...... sixteen."
Li Xia's mood and expression were complicated.
Summer solstice raises his hand to support his forehead.
"Uncle, let's not worry. Let's listen to Li Xia first. "The summer solstice pulled the little black fish back.
The little black fish was still snorting angrily.
Li Xia felt that he had escaped, and he felt as if he had lost some excellent opportunity. He smiled and said to Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, I think my uncle's second suggestion is quite good." ”
Xia Zhi glared at Li Xia: "You still have the leisure to tell jokes." Believe it or not, I'll get you out first. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. Li Xia hurriedly said, and then he sighed, "Sixteen, you don't know." I've been back for a few days, and a lot has happened......"
It is said that a lot of things have happened, but in fact, it can be very simple to say.
With He Bing'er's arrival, Tian Kuo felt pity for He Bing'er, and the two inevitably got along together. The direct result of this is that Li Wuniang's vinegar sea is churning.
Li Wuniang embarrassed He Bing'er in person, and then had an argument with Tian Kuo, and after that, Li Wuniang returned to her parents' house in anger.
During the Chinese New Year, the young couple made a fuss like this, and the Li family and the Tian family were not at peace.
He Bing'er blamed herself very much. She told the elders of the Li family and the Tian family that she and Tian Kuo were absolutely innocent, and she did not mean to destroy the couple of Tian Kuo and Li Wuniang. For this reason, He Bing'er also swore an oath, so that everyone had to believe her.
But He Bing'er said it herself. Although she has no intention, if she continues to live in Tian Kuo's house, she is afraid that Li Wuniang will be too careful.
He Bing'er said that she would live in a nunnery.
She spoke pitifully, and wept and spoke of her dead mother and grandmother, saying that she was superfluous and should have gone to see them sooner.
For the Chinese New Year, the people of the Li family and the Tian family can't stand this. They couldn't let He Bing'er really live in the nunnery, so they took He Bing'er to the Li family.
This is how He Bing'er lived in Li Xia's house.
"She lives with my mother now. Tian Kuo took Wu Niang back. Li Xia told Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi was silent, she somewhat believed Aunt Xia's words.
Li Xia continued to say to Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, I know to avoid suspicion. Even though she lives in my house, I don't see her often. Just go to my mother's place and ask Ann to see her. With my mother in front of me, what else can I have? Sixteen, you must not be too careful. ”
"I didn't pay much attention. Xia Zhi said, "I'm just a little worried." ”
"Sixteen, can't you trust me?"
"I can't trust you anymore. I can't believe it......" Xia Zhi closed her mouth when she said this, and she gave Li Xia a look to make Li Xia understand.
"I'll write to my father and my mother when I go back. I'm going to move to the academy so I can concentrate on my studies and doing things. Li Xia said, "The academy is also close to Ninghua Hall. Sixteen, if I don't come to dinner, you can bring me food. ”
Xia Zhi gave Li Xia a roll of his eyes.
Li Xia laughed stupidly, as if Xia Zhi had just thrown him a wink.
"I think it does. The little black fish nodded thoughtfully, "Li Xia, you should move out." My mother and my sister both said that He Bing'er came to your house, she definitely didn't want to be widowed, and she still wanted to be a lady. She's not for Tian Kuo, she's for you. She calculates you, you move out, hurry. ”
"Hey, hey. Li Xia agreed very happily.
"Wait. Xia Zhi stopped Li Xia, "It's the New Year, what do your parents think when you move out." Be careful yourself. I don't believe it. ”
After talking to Li Xia, Xia Zhi went to change his clothes, and then came to Li's house with a gift.
When she came back, she was the first to get the Li family to ask for peace, in addition to Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian, there were also her teachers and masters, that is, Mrs. Hanlin and Old Hanlin.
Xia Zhi first followed Li Xia to greet Mrs. Tian.
In the first month, there are still many people like Mrs. Tian. When they saw that the summer solstice was coming, those younger and younger than the summer solstice all stood up and saluted.
Xia Zhi saluted Mrs. Tian, and out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen He Bing'er sitting on Mrs. Tian's left hand, and the posture and expression of the whole person showed that she was very close and attached to Mrs. Tian.
Although it can be said that she broke with Shangshu Mansion and her own mother's family, He Bing'er is still wearing plain clothes.
Mrs. Tian's attitude towards the summer solstice was the same as always: "You're back, why don't you come here without resting, it's hard to come all the way." The old man and the old lady in the family ......"
“…… My grandfather and my grandmother are very good, let me take them to ask Mrs. and Elder Shanren how are they......" Xia Zhi said with a smile.
The two old men asked. Mrs. Tian smiled, she asked Xia Zhi to sit down and speak, and then she seemed to suddenly think of He Bing'er, "Bing'er is back, you can see you." ”
He Bing'er had already stood up, and when she heard the words, she blessed Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi only looked at He Bing'er carefully at this time.
In a few years, He Bing'er seems to have grown a little taller, and she still looks pitiful, but she is thinner, especially against the backdrop of her wide plain clothes, which is completely in line with the eight words "weak" and "moving".
Summer Solstice's heart moved slightly.
Compared with the girl He Bing'er back then, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows have added a little sadness, but she has the unique charming charm of a young woman, which seems to be more moving than back then.
He Bing'er was also looking at the summer solstice. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes that could not be concealed, and a hint of jealousy that could not be concealed.
The little girl's summer solstice was already delicate and lovely, but now the summer solstice, which has grown into a big girl, is so bright that she can't look at it directly.
"Summer Solstice girl, these years must have been very good. He Bing'er said this sentence almost without thinking, and then she seemed to realize that this sentence was not appropriate, and the sourness in her tone seemed to be a little obvious. He Bing'er hurriedly smiled, "I mean, the summer solstice girl is even more beautiful." ”
"Bing'er...... Oh, it should be Mrs. Nian, Mrs. Nian is too polite. I'm just a country girl, very rough, and I don't deserve any words like beauty. I'd rather Mrs. Nian say I've grown taller and fatter. ”
He Bing'er is married to the son of Nian Shangshu. It's because this surname is relatively rare that Xia Solstice remembered it.
He Bing'er's face changed twice. She quickly glanced at Xia Zhi, suspecting that Xia Zhi deliberately used such a title to stimulate her.
In fact, she really misunderstood the summer solstice.
He Bing'er is not a girl's family, she has married a wife, although she is a dead husband, but before she remarries, everyone still has to call her by her husband's surname.
This is common sense, and it would be inappropriate if the summer solstice was not called that.
It's just that these people from the Tian family and the Li family try to avoid calling He Bing'er like this, like the eldest master of the Tian family, the eldest wife of the Tian family, Tian Kuo and Mrs. Tian all use their original titles, that is, call He Bing'er's name.
Xia Zhi is not familiar and intimate with He Bing'er to that extent, which really can't be blamed on Xia Zhi.
"The slave family is the one who carries the time. He Bing'er was about to cry, as if Xia Zhi had said something particularly unacceptable.
There was a girl from the Li family next to her who said, "...... Oh, we and Sister Bing'er are not outsiders, we are still called Sister Bing'er......"
This can be said to be a reminder of the summer solstice.
Mrs. Tian smiled, and then stretched out her hand to pull He Bing'er to her side.
"You kid, you are not allowed to do this when you are old for the New Year. Mrs. Tian's tone was doting.
He Bing'er immediately turned from sadness to joy: "What my aunt taught me was that I was ...... for a while Beside oneself. It's really ......" said this, and softly, it seemed to glance at Xia Solstice helplessly.
Xia Zhi secretly spread her hands, she was the most impatient with this kind of eyebrow lawsuit. Then, she deliberately wanted to call He Bing'er Mrs. Nian. So what. Who's to say she's not right?
"Yes, mine, no. Because he saw Mrs. Tian glancing at herself, Xia Zhi said with a smile, "Sister Bing'er has filial piety, and she is still sitting here with Mrs. and laughing with the big guy, that is Miss Bing'er's carefulness and kindness......"
He Bing'er's face turned pale again.
"It's still my sister-in-law who understands Sister Bing'er. Just now I was Sister Bing'er and forgot about the brother-in-law of Shangshu Mansion so quickly, it turns out that Sister Bing'er is so hard-working. A little girl said in a crisp voice.
This is to add insult to injury.
He Bing'er's face was as white as paper.
Out of the corner of Xia Zhi's eyes, she saw the girl smiling brightly, she recognized that the girl should be Li Wuniang's cousin~sister.
Mrs. Tian coughed dryly. She had to. Otherwise, I don't know who will say what next.
Mrs. Tian asked Xia Zhi to sit, and then comforted He Bing'er: "...... Be open-minded, this is not the way to maintain your body. ”
