Chapter 520: The End of the Year
When it came to this matter, Tian was even more dissatisfied. "What kind of daughter is Lanzi, and she still learns to write?......! It's not what you pry, it's what you're used to. β
Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er have a very good relationship. The young couple are both shy people, and they usually keep some distance in front of people. However, the affection between the words and demeanor and the eyebrows and eyes is still unconcealable.
Xia Qiao taught Sun Lan'er to read and write, which inevitably required ear and sideburn ~ grinding. To be honest, every time Tian sees it, there is a little bit of sourness in her heart that she will never admit herself. Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er are both soft-tempered people, Tian said it a few times, and Sun Lan'er agreed well, but Xia Qiao was very persistent in this matter.
Once the eldest son really insists on something, the Tian family can't be too strong.
Tian complained so much, Xia Zhi's left ear listened to it, and his right ear popped up. She didn't care at all. As for Tian's pushing everything that didn't go well on her, thinking that she was the source of everything, Xia Zhi accepted it very calmly.
Tian thought so, there would be some buffer between Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er, so that the two sides would not really have a particularly sharp conflict.
For the sake of Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er, for the sake of family harmony, it doesn't hurt for her to carry this pot. Anyway, Tian can only complain and complain about her, and he can't really treat her well.
Happy days always fly by, and the wedding date of the crescent moon is almost in the blink of an eye.
Xia Zhi sent people and cars to Daxingzhuang and picked up the Xia family and several close relatives.
There were many people coming this time, and Ninghua Hall seemed a little crowded, but it was also more and more lively and festive.
Crescent Moon came to Ninghua Hall before getting married, and everyone said hello to Crescent Yue'er. The crescent moon's face was red. Although it is said that marrying Liu Fengcai is largely due to the arrangement of Mrs. Jiugu, Yueya'er still has a good impression of Liu Fengcai himself.
And Xia Zhi felt that Liu Fengcai had a gentle temperament, and his attributes were more compatible with the crescent moon.
ββ¦β¦ It's just that in the future, you two sisters will be far away......" When everyone was chatting together, Sun Xiuer said this.
Liu Ju's family is not in Fucheng.
"Mr. Liu said that he would buy a house in Fucheng, and he would live in Fucheng with Jiugu in the future. Jiugu said that she would take me back to Fucheng to live at that time. β
Mr. Liu and Mrs. Jiugu lived in Fucheng after they got married, and naturally there were two eldest sons and wives of the Liu family in charge of the family, so it was reasonable for them to take a son and daughter-in-law to serve and take care of them.
"Is it decided for these two days?" Xia Zhi asked happily.
Yue'er nodded: "Mr. Liu's house has been almost seen, and he said it at the end of yesterday, saying that it was a surprise for Jiugu." In fact, there is no need for Mr. Liu to buy another house, Jiugu has a house to marry here, and it is enough to live in......"
Everyone nodded secretly. The tone of Yue'er's speech like this is one with Jiugu from the heart out.
There is no need to worry about the future of the crescent moon. For other girls, the most difficult mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem will not exist at all when it comes to the crescent moon.
In the words of Mrs. Xia, the crescent moon should be born a good girl. As for the time when he was sold when he was a child, he should have consumed all the bad luck of Yue'er's life. The crescent moon survived, and the rest of this life will be a blessing.
The relatives of the crescent moon were very decent, and the relatives and friends who went to drink the wedding wine here sat in more than a dozen carriages.
Needless to say, this day's joy and wine were lively. Everyone turned around at dawn and dispersed after entering the city. Among them, Aunt Xia's family came to Ninghuatang, and Tian Laibao's mother Tian Furong also followed.
Tian Furong mentioned it to Xia Zhi at the banquet, saying that he had something to discuss with Xia Zhi. Back to your Ninghua Hall, Xia Zhi invited Tian Furong to the upper room to sit down and drink tea and talk.
"You asked the big guy to help find her mother-in-law's house for that Zhou Na girl a few days ago, can you find it now?" Tian Furong asked Xia Zhi.
"I searched for a few houses, but none of them were suitable. "The summer solstice said.
Tian Furong's face showed joy: "Then the family I am talking about must be suitable." β
It turned out that Tian Furong was going to help Xia Zhi say goodbye to Zhou Na. Tian Furong spoke quickly and quickly explained the situation.
The family she introduced was on Xishi Street in Fucheng, and Aunt Xia's family also knew each other, but because it was a little far away, it might not be very familiar.
This family is engaged in the silk business, and the family has a three-room faΓ§ade, and behind it is a four-room house, which is much more spacious than Aunt Xia's house. In short, it can be regarded as the upper middle of the small businessmen in Fucheng.
This family has three sons, the eldest son and the younger son are married, and the second son is the second son, but the fiancΓ©e died of illness before he passed the door, so the marriage was delayed for two years.
"It should be the same age as Zhou Na, medium height, long ...... Let's be honest, it's average, but it's not right for anyone to look at a man or look at his looks......"
Tian Furong meant that if Xia Zhi felt that this family affair was feasible, she would open it up, and everyone would either look at each other, or give it to each other.
ββ¦β¦ Particularly kind-hearted and open-minded people, we are also familiar with their second child, they are stable and orderly, and their temperament is good, not the kind of frizzy, after this marriage, they must know that they feel sorry for their daughter-in-law, and everything is discussed......"
Tian Furong said very well, Xia Zhi secretly glanced at Aunt Xia, and saw Aunt Xia nodding lightly. This means that Tian Furong is not lying.
They all live on Xishi Street, even if they are not familiar with it, everyone knows what is going on in their family, not to mention that Aunt Xia is such a shrewd person.
Xia Zhi thought about it in his heart, and felt that this family affair could be done. The conditions of the two families are also matched, it depends on whether the man and woman can see each other.
That's what she meant.
"I'll let people send a letter to the Zhou family, if the Zhou family thinks that they can take a look, they will have to trouble the aunt to look at each other. β
The summer solstice is from Daxingzhuang's side, and Tian Furong should be called aunt. After the two families got closer and closer, the summer solstice has always been called that.
Tian Furong was very happy and said that everything would be wrapped up in her at that time.
"It may be a bit of a big deal. The girl from the Zhou family married into Fucheng, and we took care of it, how could it be bad. β
Summer Solstice nodded. Moreover, Fucheng is not only far away from the village where the Zhou family lives, but Fucheng is also different from the slightly closed countryside. If Zhou Na marries in Fucheng, her future life will be much less affected by the past.
When they heard this, they were all glad and willing to help.
There are many people who are easy to do, and the Zhou family quickly got the news, and they immediately replied.
The Zhou family was very happy with this family affair, and they didn't even have to look at each other, as long as Xia Zhi said yes, they nodded. This is not only the meaning of Zhou Na's parents, but also Zhou Na's own meaning.
Although it was a pleasure to do things like this, Xia Zhi was not in a hurry, she still arranged step by step to let the Zhou family and the Luo family look at each other.
The second son of the Luo family is really as Tian Furong said...... The appearance is mediocre, but the treatment of people and things is relatively mature and stable.
Zhou Na fell in love with the second son of the Luo family at a glance.
And the Luo family also fell in love with Zhou Na at a glance. Zhou Na is handsome, which family is not willing to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law to enter the door.
This family affair was settled smoothly and smoothly. Because the age of the two is not too young, the wedding date is set at the end of the year.
The time was rushed, but fortunately, there was not much to prepare for on both sides. The things that the Luo family marries are ready-made, and the dowry on Zhou Na's side has also been prepared. Even if it was a little worse, the summer solstice would bear it all and make up for it.
During this time, Zhou Na has become good friends with Layue and Sun Lan'er, and she is willing to talk to Xia Zhi.
ββ¦β¦ As soon as I heard that it was from the city, I was happy first. I'm not saying that life is better in the city. Away from ...... From a distance, I feel at ease, and I guess that there will be fewer people who pay attention to those things in the future than in the country......"
"You don't have to be afraid of those things, and you don't have to care. You just have to live your life well. Xia Zhi told Zhou Na.
Zhou Na nodded, she must work hard to live a good life, even if not for anything else, just to fight for breath, she has to live well.
At the end of the year, there are more things on the summer solstice. Because Li Xia has returned to Beizhen Mansion, and the two will get married next year, Xia Zhi has not arranged to travel to inspect the store in the past two years.
But so many chain stores, at the end of the year, you can ignore anything else, and the general ledger always has to be checked.
When the summer solstice is busy, there are some things that I forget.
Li Xia felt left out. But he didn't say that he was left out, he told Xia Zhi that Mrs. Tian missed Xia Zhi.
"Sixteen, you calculate for yourself, you haven't seen my mother for many days. My mother has been talking to you several times at home. β
Xia Zhi realized that she really hadn't visited Mrs. Tian for a while.
"I've had a lot to do at the end of the year. Li Xia, you help me explain it to you~ Mother. β
"Can I not explain. But no matter how busy you are, you can't take care of anything else, you can't ignore me and my mother. β
"Yes, yes, yes......" Xia Zhi put the ledger in his hand, "Madame is at home today, busy or not, I guess I can't be idle, when will I go to the convenience?"
"It's easy for you to go whenever you want. My mother is busy and won't delay you to look at her. Li Xia said, and then handed Xia Zhi a rather resentful look.
Only then did Xia Zhi react, Li Xia was using Mrs. Tian to say that she had snubbed him.
"Haha," Xia Zhi laughed, "Li Xia, you are really, you still don't know what to say." β
"I told you, you can listen. You only have the ledger in your eyes, and I've been standing next to you for a long time, and you didn't notice it. β
"Nonsense. I know you're coming. Doesn't that treat you like an outsider? If you don't believe it, try another person, he can enter my study, and I don't need this Ninghuatang, let alone my big boss. Xia Solstice laughed.
Li Xia's gaze was still resentful.
"I'll go with you to see Madame in a moment. Well, let's go to the night market in the evening, or we will eat at my house, and I will cook two dishes myself, and you can try them?"
"Good. Li Xia's resentful gaze immediately turned into joy, "Don't go to the night market, it's messy, eat at home, you can eat anything." β
Xia Zhi changed his clothes, packed two gifts, and followed Li Xia to Li's mansion.
By the end of the year, Mrs. Tian had a lot of things. But when she heard that it was the summer solstice coming, she immediately asked people to welcome the summer solstice to the main room where she lived daily to speak.
When Xia Solstice entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was slightly wrong.
Naturally, there will be no only Mrs. Tian in the house, the eldest wife of the Tian family and Mrs. Jiugu are all there, and there are two daughters-in-law standing in the room, but they are all dressed in plain clothes.
Who sent this to report the funeral?!
Mrs. Tian, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Jiugu all had a look of compassion on their faces, which made Xia Zhi more and more sure of his guess.
"You've come just in time. Mrs. Tian beckoned Li Xia and Xia Zhi to come to her, and she handed the letter in her hand to Li Xia, "Your sister Bing'er in Jingzhong has sent a letter." β
Could it be that the person who died was He Bing'er's father, who wanted to climb up?
Li Xia read the letter. Xia Zhi was not easy to come up to see, she saluted Mrs. Tian, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Jiugu, said a few polite words, and sat down under Mrs. Jiugu.
"I didn't expect that this child's life is so thin, at such a young age, there is no son and half a daughter, what can I do in the future?"
ββ¦β¦ It's with our poor third sister...... , her mother left early, but when she arrived, she was widowed early, how can people say ......"
Xia Solstice noticed something unusual: "This is ......"
Mrs. Jiugu told Xia Zhi: "Bing'er sent a letter that her husband died of illness. β
"Ahh......h
"It is said that she has been sick for a while, and Bing'er said that she was afraid that we would be worried, so she did not write to tell us. Now that the people are gone, they sent people to deliver the funeral letter. Mrs. Tian said to Xia Zhi like this.
Li Xia had already finished reading the letter at this time. Without saying a word, he handed the letter to Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi hesitated slightly, she hadn't passed the door after all, so she didn't stretch out her hand to answer the letter, but glanced at Mrs. Tian quickly.
"You and Bing'er also got acquainted, so it's okay for you to take a look. β
Mrs. Tian said this, and Xia Zhi took the letter.
He Bing'er's letter was written very long, in addition to informing the news of the death of Shangshu Gongzi, the long story was how sad and sad she was, and she also mentioned her life in Beizhen Mansion when she was a child, revealing her longing and attachment to Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Tian's family.
He Bing'er was in Tian's house, and she invited a serious gentleman to teach her to read. He Bing'er also has a bit of talent, and the words of this letter written by her are mournful, and it looks quite moving.
Xia Zhi stood up and handed the letter back to Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian took it and put the letter on the table at hand. Then she first sent the two daughters-in-law sent by He Bing'er down, and then discussed with Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Jiugu who to send to Beijing for the funeral.
He Bing'er is a junior, and Mrs. Tian's generation does not need to go. Mrs. Tian planned to send people from Li Xia's generation over.
"Gu'er has just gotten married, and at the end of the year, she is still busy with many shops, so she can't go. Mrs. Tian said first.
"Fenghuang'er has just returned from Beijing for a long time, and she hasn't stopped yet. It's thousands of miles away, and it's not appropriate for him to go. Mrs. Jiugu followed closely.
