Chapter 276: Re-entering the Mansion City
Erya actually opened his mouth to borrow money from her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xia Zhi was stunned before coming back to his senses. The eldest girl is in Linshui Town, and the second girl often goes to the town for a while, and also rushes to buy things for the eldest girl. Although neither of the two sisters helped out at her food stall, they knew what the stall was doing.
The eldest girl and the second girl may not know how much silver she has earned, but they must know that she has money in her hands and can take out the five taels of silver.
Xia Zhi was able to come up with five taels of silver, but she didn't plan to continue to contribute to Tian Dabao's marriage career.
"Sister Erya, we have been frugal over the years, and all the money has been sent to your house. Sister Erya, I don't owe you. I don't care if you will pay me back in the future, your family's affairs, our family will not fill in a penny. "Xia Solstice said it very simply.
"Summer Solstice, just as you are helping me. Erya had tears in her eyes, "I don't want to be sold to others as a girl." Summer solstice, you lend me five taels of silver, I am grateful to you for the rest of my life......"
"It's five taels this time, how much will it be next time? I can't fill this bottomless pit. Sister Erya, if you borrow money from me, this will not solve the problem at all. I'm not helping you by lending you money. Xia Zhi told Er Ya very calmly.
If she lends the money to Erya this time, Old Man Tian gets this sweetness, and I am afraid that Erya will be forced to come to her to borrow money one after another in the future.
"Just this once, never again. Er Ya said, very resolute.
"You can't be the master this time, will you be able to be the master in the future? Sister Erya, ask yourself, can you do it? Can you resist your grandfather, your grandmother, and your father and mother? You can't resist now, so come to borrow money from me, then you won't be able to resist in the future." ”
Seeing that Erya stopped speaking in a daze, Xia Zhi sighed softly.
"I know it's not easy, but if you don't find a way to try it, you'll never have hope. "Xia Zhi mentioned a little Erya, and asked her and the eldest girl to join forces to resist the Tian family and the old man Tian.
Now that the eldest girl has Liu Fatzi, she has more capital than when she was at home before. If these two sisters are out of the way, it is not impossible to find a way out.
"Sister Erya, you don't have to compare from afar, you just think about me. If I were like you and the eldest sister, I guess I would go to the mountain to be your brother's daughter-in-law now. "Xia Zhi said it bluntly enough, that's all she can do for Erya.
Xia Zhi said this in front of Tian's face, and Tian's face was a little unbearable.
But at this time, no one will pay attention to Tian.
Erya was still stunned.
In fact, from the backer Tun'er to Daxingzhuang, the fate of the eldest and second sisters has changed. If they seize the opportunity and are determined, it is not impossible to get rid of Old Man Tian's control.
The so-called things are man-made, and the summer solstice will mention everything that can be mentioned to Erya. Next, it depends on what the eldest girl and the second girl do, and the summer solstice can't replace them.
In fact, the most terrible thing is not oppression, but that those who are oppressed are accustomed to it, and even assimilated into the minds of the oppressors, and they have lost the consciousness of resistance at all.
The next day, Xia Solstice brought the package he carried with him and went to the backyard.
Xia Qiao, Sun Lan'er and Xiao Shu'er all came to see her off.
Li Xia and Little Black Fish were also packed up.
Xia Zhi only planned to stay in Fucheng for a few days this time, but the package she brought was much fuller than when she went to Fucheng for the first time. Of course, Xia Zhi has also taken on a new look, and it is no longer the same as it was at the beginning.
Today, Xia Zhi wore that set of shirts and dresses after the rain and sunny days, and the whole person looked neat and pretty.
Mrs. Xia looked Xia Solstice up and down, and couldn't stop admiring in her heart. Several girls in the family are better than the average person, among which the summer solstice is the most outstanding.
Li Xia's carriage had already arrived, and Xia Qiao helped them carry their luggage to the car.
Old Man Xia is still instructing Xia Zhi to let her stay at Aunt Xia's house after she arrives in Fucheng, although Li Xia will definitely arrange a place for her and Xiao Heiyu'er, and the accommodation arranged by Li Xia will definitely be better.
Xia Zhi nodded and agreed: "My uncle and I must be going to live at my aunt's house." ”
When they entered the city, they went to Aunt Xia, which regarded Aunt Xia as the closest person. Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were very satisfied with Xia Zhi's attitude.
"If you have time, go see your father. Old Man Xia hesitated for a moment before he said again, "Inquire about your second uncle again." I don't have a letter these days. ”
"If you don't believe it, you can believe it. Xia Zhi said with a smile, he understood what Old Man Xia meant, and wanted her to go to see Second Uncle Xia, but he couldn't erase it and said it directly. "Master, I definitely have to go see my second uncle, and I'll tell you again when I come back. ”
Old Man Xia was satisfied, but said, "If you're busy, you don't have to go to see him." He loves what he does, and I don't bother to care about him. ”
Xia Zhi turned his face and smiled at Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia understood, and also pursed her lips and smiled. Old man Xia's duplicity is a little cute.
While he was talking, Uncle Xia San came back from outside in a hurry.
"Dried tofu here?" asked Old Man Xia.
"They were all brought, and I made them weigh them, and they all parted. "Uncle Xia San carried a burden, and there were a few packets of dried tofu in it.
The dried tofu of Daxingzhuang is famous in Beizhen Province. Xia Xiucai, Aunt Xia and Second Uncle Xia also love to eat dried tofu. Yesterday, Xia Zhi said that he was going to Fucheng, and Old Man Xia asked Uncle Xia to go to the tofu shop to order dried tofu.
Xia Xiucai, Aunt Xia and Second Uncle Xia are impartial, and each person is five catties of dried tofu. In addition, Old Man Xia also prepared ten catties of dried tofu for Li Xia and Tian Kuo.
If you want so much dried tofu, you may not be able to buy it on the day, so you have to book it in advance.
"Li Xia, you are in a hurry to go back this time, and I have nothing to prepare for. In our rural area, there are no rare things, and this dried tofu is quite famous. …… Don't dislike it for you, it's just a little heart. Old Man Xia also specially said to Li Xia.
"Uncle, you're too polite. Li Xia said with a smile. He excused himself slightly, and then accepted the dried tofu.
Uncle Xia San happily carried the burden and delivered all the dried tofu to Li Xia's car.
Because Li Xia collected things happily and said words cordially and openly, Old Man Xia was very happy. Everyone sent Li Xia, Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to the car, and Mrs. Xia also whispered some considerate words to Xia Zhi, that is, let Xia Zhi bring a message to Aunt Xia, and let Xia Zhi take a good look at Aunt Xia's health, don't have anything unpleasant recently.
Mrs. Xia is really worried about her daughter.
The carriage soon left Daxingzhuang and walked onto the official road to Fucheng.
Li Xia, Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish are all in a good mood. The little black fish can go to Fucheng to eat and play again, and he is very happy. Of course, the little guy didn't just think about eating and playing, he also had to protect Xia Zhi and help Xia Zhi negotiate business with the Tian family. That's a big deal!
The little black fish sat between Xia Zhi and Li Xia, her big eyes flickering and full of ambition.
"Li Xia, have you been a little homesick these days?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia.
Regarding this question, Li Xia thought about it very seriously: "It's really a little, I didn't pay attention to it if you didn't mention it, and now I seem to be a little homesick." ”
"What are you?" Xia Zhi was amused by Li Xia's answer.
After living here for so many days, he didn't expect that the carriage was walking on the way back to Fucheng, and he was reminded by her that he was a little homesick.
Li Xia is happy to live in Daxingzhuang, and he can't miss it?!
Li Xia smiled, that's right, that's what it means.
"Li Xia, is it the first time you have lived outside for such a long time?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia.
Li Xia nodded: "Yes, but I'm not used to it at all." ”
In short, Daxingzhuang is good, the Xia family is good, and it is good to be with Xia Zhi!
The two chatted all the way, and they didn't talk less about serious things. For example, Li Xia gave Xia Zhi a general situation of the Tian family. Fucheng Tianjia has developed to this day, and there are two main branches. One of them is based on Tian Kuo's family, which not only does business, but also has a large number of grange shops in his hands, and many children are officials outside, and the relationship with the Li family is also closer. The Tian family of this branch has all kinds of business.
The other branch controlled the transportation from the city to the south. Li Xia said more euphemistically, Xia Zhi's understanding, this large branch of the Tian family seems to be not so white, although it is rich, but with the spirit of the rivers and lakes, the so-called black and white both occupy the meaning.
It is completely understandable that the ship travels thousands of miles.
Fuchengli is divided into Dongcheng Li Xichengtian, and Xichengtian is divided into these two branches, the one dominated by Tian Kuo's family is usually called Nanfu, and the one that controls Caoyun is called Beifu.
If someone says that Young Master Nanfu Tian is not referring to someone else, it is Tian Kuo. After Li Xia said this, he knew that Tian Kuo's identity was so valuable.
Don't look at Tian Kuo's stubbornness, compared with his identity, he should be very low-key. Looking at Tian Kuo, you can know that the tutor of the Nanfu Tian family should be very good.
Perhaps, it is also because of the marriage with the Li family for generations. Tian Kuo grew up with Li Xia, and was personally taught by Li Shanchang, the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, so Tian Kuo can grow like this.
Speaking of the Beifu Tianjia, Li Xia told Xia Zhi that the northernmost point of the canal and the largest wharf in Fucheng was on the territory of the Beifu Tianjia.
"There wasn't enough time last time. This time, let's take time out, and I'll take you and my uncle there for a good visit. Li Xia said with a smile.
The largest pier in Fucheng, it must be very lively.
Li Xia's carriage was faster than ordinary carriages, and when it was the next day, they had already entered the city. Li Xia first asked the car to go to Aunt Xia's house in Xishi. When the carriage stopped outside Uncle Guo's grocery store, Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo had been waiting outside the door for a while with Changsheng and Pearl.
It turned out that Li Xia sent someone to inform Aunt Xia in advance, saying that Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish would come to live.
Xia Zhi got out of the car and met Aunt Xia's family affectionately. This meeting was different from the last time she entered the city, everyone got along for a while, Aunt Xia's family became more and more enthusiastic and cordial to Xia Zhi, that is, the pearls who saw that people were not very affectionate came over and took Xia Zhi's hand, saying that they missed her.
"I miss you too. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
While everyone was talking, they entered the courtyard. From early spring to autumn, there is no obvious change here for Aunt Xia. Everyone went to the landlord's house to sit down, and Aunt Xia discussed with Xia Zhi.
"You and your uncle still live with Pearl. The house in the backyard was rented out for the first two months, otherwise it would be spacious for you to live there after cleaning it up. It means that this arrangement is a little crowded, and it is a grievance for the summer solstice.
"That's good. Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It just so happens that I am talking to Pearl a lot, so there is no need to arrange another place for us to live." ”
Aunt Xia smiled and nodded, and asked the attendants to move Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish's things to the West House.
Li Xia said a few words with her, told Xia Zhi to pick her up tomorrow, and then left. has returned to Fucheng, Li Xia still has a lot of things to do, and he can't stay here with Xia Solstice all the time.
After sending Li Xia away, Aunt Xia had no taboos when she talked to Xia Zhi.
"The person who came with the letter said vaguely, sixteen, what did you have to do with the Tian family in Nanfu this time?" Aunt Xia asked Xia Zhi.
"Hmm. Xia Zhi nodded, and roughly told Aunt Xia about the cooperation with Tian Kuo's family.
Uncle Guo listened to it next to him, and his eyes widened in surprise first, and he called my God.
"That's the Nanfu Tian family, my God, sixteen is too capable!" Uncle Guo looked at Xia Zhi's gaze a little strangely.
Xia Zhi smiled nonchalantly.
Aunt Xia also understands how big this is, but her performance is much more stable than Uncle Guo. She also instructed Uncle Guo, Changsheng and Pearl: "Sixteen is not with us, and he told us everything." …… Don't go out and tell anyone about this. ”
"Understood, understood. Uncle Guo smiled and nodded.
Xia Zhi felt that Aunt Xia was very thoughtful and caring, she smiled: "What I mean, and what my grandfather and grandmother mean, just a few of us in our own family know about this." If you say it, you're afraid of getting into trouble. ”
"Sixteen, don't worry. It's called making a lot of money in a muffled voice, isn't the wealth exposed, haha, haha. Uncle Guo said with a smile.
Summer Solstice didn't mean it that way, or she didn't mean it exactly. But this is Uncle Guo's understanding, and it can be regarded as a very simple and honest statement. Xia Zhi smiled and did not correct Uncle Guo.
They know how powerful this is, and that's it.
After saying that, Aunt Xia asked about Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia again, knowing that the old couple were in good health, she was relieved. Therefore, when he talked about many things after returning to Daxingzhuang on the summer solstice, the little black fish happily told them about setting up food stalls to make money.
Not to mention that Xia Zhi is about to cooperate with the Nanfu Tian family, let's just say that Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer came to the city in Li Xia's car this time, and the clothes of the two people have changed dramatically from the first time, so let's just say that the stall that Xia Zhi is setting up now, and the money he earns is enough to make Uncle Guo speechless.
The whole family of the old man's family has become rich.
Uncle Guo was very happy, and he was even more enthusiastic about Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish.
Aunt Xia was very happy for Xia Zhi and the Xia family.
