Li Shanchang asked the little servant to help Uncle Xia San up, and talked to Uncle Xia San, asking him what he was doing at home, how many children he had, and so on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Uncle Xia answered them one by one.

The Xia family's brothers, Li Shanchang, have already seen it, and they feel that Uncle Xia is the most simple and honest, which is the true character of the Zhuang family. He nodded and praised Uncle Xia a few words.

Old Man Xia said to Li Shanchang: "The third child of my family is a little stupider than his brothers, but fortunately, he is sincere." Our old couple are at home, thanks to his support everywhere. It means that Uncle Xia is very filial.

Li Shanchang couldn't help but glance at Uncle Xia again.

Then everyone moved on to other topics. First of all, one is the little black fish after his childhood ~ entering the academy to study.

"This kid is very naughty, and he has been spoiled by us. When the time comes, there will be many places to trouble the mountain elders. When we are not around, you can discipline him and do anything. Old Man Xia said.

Li Shanchang laughed, and he told Old Man Xia that he was not here to teach the Tong Meng class of Old Man Xia's Academy. "It's an uncle of my clan, and he's not many times more knowledgeable than me. My clan uncle and student are extremely strict, and you can rest assured that this old man can be assured. …… But if there's anything, just come to me. ”

Then he talked about the summer solstice: "Sixteen early wisdom, you can be in charge of the family at a young age." She talks and does things, and many people who are much older than her are inferior to her. ”

Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia both nodded: "...... We are older, and many things cannot be thought of and taken care of, thanks to this granddaughter. We rely on her, and we have more sons than mine. ”

Li Shanchang thought for a moment, then smiled and said that this was the blessing of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia.

Old Man Xia said this very tactfully, if he was a careless person, I am afraid he would not be able to hear anything. But Li Shanchang is not an ordinary person.

The granddaughter crosses the son, which is rare. And now Old Man Xia said this sentence in front of him, although he was talking about several sons in general terms, but it was Xia Xiucai who was emphasized.

Xia Zhi's status in the Xia family, in the minds of the old man Xia and the old lady Xia, as well as her contribution and importance to the Xia family and the old couple, all surpasses the eldest son of the Xia family, Xia Zhi's biological father Xia Xiucai.

Old Man Xia's words can only be said to this extent, this is the point to the end. He saw that Li Shanchang should have understood what he meant, so he talked about Xia Xiucai's affairs in the academy again.

“…… I've been alone in this city. Now that the children are older, his daughter-in-law has come into the city to take care of him. It's just that it has caused a lot of trouble to the mountain man. I don't want to go. ”

"What's the trouble there. Li Shanchang smiled and said that Xia Xiucai was very conscientious in teaching in the academy, and the students liked him very much.

The teachers in this academy are at least talented. There are also people who go to the top, and even the Jinshi of Zhishi. However, Xia Xiucai's teaching is very good.

Summer Solstice believes this. Sometimes a person's own knowledge is good, but it does not mean that he will be a good gentleman. Xia Zhi didn't know what Xia Xiucai's knowledge was, but his reputation for teaching was really good.

Old man Xia heard Li Shanchang say that Xia Xiu was good, and he was also a little happy in his heart. However, he still modestly said: "...... That's his job. If it weren't for the support of the mountain elder, where would he be today. ”

Li Shanchang said that this was not the case, it was the academy and he needed Xia Xiucai.

"The old man must have to stay for a few more days when he enters the city this time?" Li Shanchang immediately asked again.

"Sixteen said that the lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival in Fucheng will be good-looking, and I took our old couple and a large family to see the lights. My eldest daughter's son got married in the past two days, and after eating the wedding wine, he is going back. Old Man Xia said with a smile.

"It's rare for the elderly to come here, so they should stay longer. ”

Xia Zhi also said that let Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia stay for a few days. "According to my intentions, my grandfather and my grandmother will simply live in Fucheng in the future. I just watched my uncle study. ”

Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia both laughed.

"Fucheng is good, and my granddaughter takes good care of her. However, when people are old, their homeland is difficult to leave, and it is most comfortable to live in an old house for a lifetime. And the land ...... in the countryside."

After the big guy spoke, Shan Chang Li called a little guy over and gave such and such an order. He sent the little servant away, and then said to Old Man Xia that he would invite Old Man Xia and others to Li Mansion for dinner.

"The family is ready. I heard Li Xia say that there are a lot of people here this time, so please invite them all to come over as guests. My wife also wants to talk to the old man and the old lady. ”

"I was going to meet the mountain chief's wife. Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "But this meal still doesn't bother." ”

"The old lady is too polite. What to bother and not to bother. This is the New Year, and the big guys are the best to be lively. Then Li Shanchang said that there were many guests in the first month, but only today saw the Xia family, which made him feel the happiest.

"I also want to ask the old man more about the countryside. ”

Li Shanchang insisted on having a treat, although Old Man Xia didn't want to cause trouble to people, but it would be a little disrespectful and unkind to refuse.

"In this way, it has caused trouble for the mountain lord again. ”

"The old man is still so polite. I like to talk to the old man very much, and the old man doesn't bother me, so don't refuse. ”

Li Shanchang had other things to deal with, so he asked Li Xia to entertain everyone in the Xia family. Because the hour was still early, after coming out of Li Shanchang, Uncle Xia San first went back to Ninghua Hall to inform Aunt Xia and the others to go to Li's Mansion for a banquet in a while. And what Old Man Xia meant was to take advantage of this gap to see Xia Xiucai's residence.

Xia Xiucai's residence is not far away, and as he said, it is a very clean small courtyard. Xia Xiucai now lives in three west wings.

Xia Zhi followed behind Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia, and saw that although there were not many furnishings in these three wings, they were clean and simple. Xia Xiucai has never had any belongings, and Tian only brought his clothes with Erya this time, so except for the furnishings provided by the academy, the room seemed empty.

Old Man Xia sat on the kang, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He had long guessed that his eldest son's life in Fucheng would not be easy, but when he saw it with his own eyes, it was still a little shocking.

But who is to blame for this?

He gave everything that should be given to Xia Xiucai, and even what should not be given, he also gave a lot. Xia Xiucai has his own income, and he has become like this, because he has saved money and filled all the money to the old Tian family of Tun'er.

Thinking like this, Old Man Xia couldn't help but glance at Tian.

"This can't compare to Ning Huatang. Tian was bringing the second girl to bring tea, how did she know what Old Man Xia was thinking, so she said according to her own meaning, "The old man and the old lady will just settle." ”

The tea leaves that come out are not good tea either.

Tian's thoughts, Old Man Xia felt sorry for Xia Xiucai after all. Seeing that Xia Xiucai was here in this scene, and then compared it with Ning Huatang, either Old Man Xia took out the money himself, or asked Xia Zhi to take the money and things out, the result was the same.

However, she didn't know that Old Man Xia had been persuaded by Mrs. Xia every day for more than half a year, and he didn't have the slightest intention of letting Xia Zhi make up for Xia Xiucai's family.

The summer solstice brought up the life of a large family, and promised to be responsible for the study of his brothers and even cousins. This should have been done by Xia Xiucai.

But what has Xia Xiucai done?

Let Xia Zhi make up for Xia Xiucai? Even if he feels most sorry for this eldest child, he will not do it. On the one hand, he will not be able to get over it in his own heart. On the other hand......

gave Xia Xiucai and the Tian family silver money, who knows if it will change hands and be honored by the Tian family to his mother's family.

Xia Xiucai has suffered a lot, so let him suffer, that's his own fault. Anyway, Xia Xiucai wasn't hungry, didn't he freeze, did he. Xia Zhi often sends delicious food and drink here to Xia Xiucai to improve the food.

Thinking so, Old Man Xia didn't take the tea. He snorted slightly, and only said to Xia Xiucai: "I didn't lose you when I broke up." The money you have made over the years is not less, and you both know what is the reason for the situation in your house. I'm too lazy to talk about you, and you don't have to scratch any further. What will happen to you in the future is also up to you. ”

Xia Xiucai said yes repeatedly. Tian's face was stiff, she knew that Old Man Xia was talking about her.

Xia Zhi arrived at Xia Xiucai and didn't see her, she looked at all three rooms, and also looked carefully at Tian's dresser. Er Ya walked up to her and didn't say anything, but a pair of eyes always secretly looked at Xia Zhi, as if she was worried that Xia Solstice would take something away.

On the summer solstice, I can't see this sneaky appearance.

"Sister Erya, how are you doing well in Fucheng?" Xia Zhi asked Erya.

"It's ok. Erya's answer was a little stiff.

The summer solstice returned to the place where the people spoke. Erya also followed, and then stood beside Tian's side. Xia Zhi frowned slightly, always feeling as if something was wrong.

When they were in Daxingzhuang, the eldest girl and the second girl also listened to Tian's words, and they were also in a hurry when they stood beside Tian. However, Erya's current posture seems to be a little excessive. If you have to describe anything, then Erya at this moment is like a dog of the Tian family.

Although it seems unkind to use a dog to describe a girl, Xia Zhi really can't find a more appropriate description.

Old Man Xia didn't stay in Xia Xiucai for long. They still have to go back to Ninghua Hall to clean up a little, and then go to the Li Mansion.

"Will you go by yourself later, or come with us?" asked Xia Xiucai when Old Man Xia got up.

Xia Xiucai glanced at Tian. Tian shook his head gently. Xia Xiucai realized, so he told Old Man Xia that he still had something, and he and Tian would go to the Li Mansion by themselves in a while.

"Big~ Master, don't worry. I'll arrange a car for Mr. Xia here. Li Xia said.

Everyone went back to Ninghua Hall.

Uncle Xia San has already found Aunt Xia and everyone back. They didn't go to Dongshi for a long time, but everyone was elated, Layue, Chen Xing'er, and Sun Xiu'er also used their pocket money to buy things

Sun Xiu'er told Xia Zhi that there were so many and good things sold in Fucheng that they couldn't buy them.

Xia Zhi smiled secretly, no matter what age it is, no matter what age it is, as long as it's a girl, there is no one who doesn't like shopping.

Old Man Xia asked the big guy to pack up quickly, and he couldn't be late to go to Li's Mansion.

"Do we still need it?" both Sun Xiu'er and Sun Lan'er asked about the summer solstice.

"Go. "Xia Zhi said," Li Shanchang said, let all of us go. …… It's just the right time to open your eyes. ”

"Sixteen, someone like Li Shanchang...... We're going to disgrace you again. Sun Xiu'er said again. They are doing well in the Zhuang family, but they are 108,000 miles away from the Li family in this city.

Sun Xiu'er and Sun Lan'er said they couldn't go, they just ate a little in Ninghuatang, and when they got to the Li family, they were "village-like and laughable." "They are not afraid of jokes, but they are afraid that it will affect the summer solstice.

"We grew up in the village, so we must have a lot of differences from them. As long as we follow Lilly, whoever wants to laugh at it is their fault. ”

Whether it's Sun Lan'er, Sun Xiu'er, or the eldest brother of the Chen family, these teenagers and girls actually have very good tutors. Xia Zhi felt that as long as this was the case, it would be possible to go to the imperial banquet in the palace.

was persuaded by Xia Zhi like this, Sun Xiu'er and Sun Lan'er stopped saying no more, and Aunt Xia San brought Layue and Chen Xing'er over again, and asked Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhi to help take care of it.

"You don't need to look like the one in the school. We just arrived, and we can't learn home if we want to learn, so it's better to be our true colors, and it's enough to be clean and neat. "The summer solstice said.

When Old Man Xia heard it, he said that Xia Zhi was very insightful.

However, the little girls still cleaned up, and they put on their best clothes and jewelry. Because she didn't wear much gold and silver jewelry on the summer solstice, everyone followed her example.

As a result, when they arrived at the Li Mansion, their dresses fell into Mrs. Tian's eyes. The boys are all neat and tidy, and the little girls are simple and generous.

Mrs. Tian left Mrs. Xia, Xia Zhi, Tian, Aunt Xia and a group of little girls to sit and talk. After asking about the identity of the big guy, Tian glanced at Xia Zhi more.

Just brought the niece, nephew and nephew's fiancée of the nephew, Xia Zhi even brought the sister next door to visit Fucheng and brought her here.

Xia Zhi, this little girl does ~ things, but she always has her own charter, which is quite extraordinary.

Mrs. Tian said that she was a knowledgeable person, and after talking to everyone, she found out the bottom of everyone. Mrs. Xia is not a simple woman, Aunt Xia is an honest person, and the little girls are either shy or spicy, but they are all pure and pure. And Xia Xiucai's mother-in-law, Xia Zhi's mother-in-law, is mediocre.

However, this Tian has a good appearance. Although he already has a few children, he can still see the beauty of his youth.

Mrs. Tian also knew a little about Xia Zhi's family, and immediately thought that Xia Xiucai was a man who valued beauty so much. This is something you don't usually see.

Although Tian's words were boring, Mrs. Tian paid no less attention to her.

After all, Tian is Xia Zhi's mother-in-law.

"Why did I hear that you live in the academy, why didn't you live in Ninghua Hall?"
