Ask for a monthly pass, and there will be a change in the afternoon

Xia Zhi saw that Aunt Xia had misunderstood, but she didn't explain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After dinner, Pearl suddenly said to Aunt Xia that she wanted to read and read. Uncle Guo heard it on the side, and laughed. "Girl, what are you learning to do? Aren't you usually willing to learn?"

Pearl pursed her lips, very dissatisfied with Uncle Guo's words. "I want to learn now, can't I?"

Uncle Guo couldn't do anything about his little daughter, so he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's all up to you." Then he stopped talking. The decision-making power in this matter is not in him, but in Aunt Xia.

Aunt Xia was doing needlework in her hands, she glanced at the pearl, and didn't speak for a long time. Pearl seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and a pair of eyes peeked at Aunt Xia's expression. Aunt Xia couldn't see anything on her face.

After a while, Pearl called her mother tentatively again.

Aunt Xia glanced at the pearl again. "Why do you need to read and read?"

"Not why. Pearl's body twisted, "The fourth sister can read and read, and I want to learn too." It seems that her desire to read and read was only influenced by the summer solstice.

"Your fourth sister is your fourth sister, you are you. Aunt Xia looked at the pearl, "You better learn needlework and see if you can catch up with your fourth sister." Literacy and reading are not necessary. ”

Aunt Xia's attitude was a little cold.

Pearl rarely received such treatment, and she looked at Aunt Xia in a daze. Aunt Xia's face still had no expression, and she continued to do needlework in her hands.

Uncle Guo and Changsheng felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and the father and son looked at it in wonder.

Pearl pursed her lips, got off the kang without saying a word, and ran back to her room.

"What's wrong with the pearl?" asked Uncle Guo puzzled. What the big guy said just now was good, Aunt Xia didn't say anything harsh, and she didn't say anything serious, why did Pearl lose her face?

"I'll take a look. Changsheng didn't worry about his sister, so he got up and wanted to go to the Westinghouse to see how the pearl was doing.

"No need to go. Aunt Xia's tone was a little flat, but the momentum was clearly indisobedient.

Changsheng glanced at Aunt Xia, and sure enough, he didn't dare to go. But he was still worried about Pearl, so he still stood and did not sit down.

"She's fine. Aunt Xia looked at Changsheng and then at Uncle Guo, "My daughter, I know." She'll be fine in a while. ”

Aunt Xia's words are still very convincing in the ears of the Guo family's father and son, especially when it comes to pearls. Who knows her daughter better than a mother?

Seeing that Uncle Guo and Changsheng no longer paid attention to pearls, Aunt Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Some sprouts, knowing that there will be no results, are to be neatly pinched off when they are just budding. Love your daughter, and sometimes you have to be ruthless, so as to avoid your daughter from being sad in the future and even going the wrong way.

In Aunt Xia's eyes, pearls and summer solstice are different. The future of pearls is fixed, and the range of changes will not be too large. She is satisfied with that future, so she can't tolerate the slightest mistake.

However, there are many possibilities for the future of the summer solstice. It can be excellent or it can be extremely bad. Her pearls can't withstand such twists and turns.

Uncle Guo continued to talk to Changsheng, and then looked at the little black fish sitting next to the kang table with Xia Zhi, fiddling with the inkstone in his hand. Uncle Guo smiled and said to the little black fish: "Xiaolong, you have to study hard." In the future, learn from your eldest brother, at least you have to take a show before you come back. What Li Shanchang gave you are all good things, which can enter his eyes, and our Xiaolong is also a seedling of reading. ”

Li Shanchang gave Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer an inkstone, a piece of ink, a lake pen and a notebook. Uncle Guo is very knowledgeable about the goods in the grocery store and can see that these are all good things. As for those books, he didn't pay much attention to them.

However, he only praised Xiaolong, but did not mention the summer solstice. Xia Zhizhi literacy and reading are fun in his opinion, but the little black fish will be able to study and participate in the imperial examination in the future.

Aunt Xia also echoed Uncle Guo's words: "Xiaolong, listen to your brother-in-law's words, and study hard in the future." When you come out in the future, our mother will be able to enjoy happiness with you. ”

Little Heiyuer was not keen on reading, but he was very much in favor of letting Old Lady Xia enjoy it, so he nodded heavily.

Aunt Xia was very pleased, she put down the needle and thread in her hand and rubbed it on the top of the little black fish's head. Unlike Uncle Guo, Aunt Xia listened to Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia talk a lot about the summer solstice, and she knew that the little black fish was influenced by the summer solstice when she read every day, and when she saw Li Shanchang and got Li Shanchang's favor, she was afraid that she also borrowed the light of the summer solstice.

"Xiaolong will come out in the future, and he must take good care of Sixteen. Aunt Xia said.

The little black fish nodded heavily: "That's for sure." ”

"Uncle, then you study hard, and you will become a big official in the future, and then I will follow you to enjoy happiness. Xia Zhi understood what Aunt Xia meant, so he simply said with a smile.

The little black fish smiled and said yes. "Sixteen, I became a big official, and your mother didn't dare to treat you badly anymore. ”

"That's right, uncle, you have to work hard. Xia Zhi said, looking at the bright eyes of the little black fish under the light, she couldn't hold back for a while, so she hugged the little black fish in her arms.

The little black fish looks thin, but there is actually meat on its body.

Uncle Guo, Aunt Xia, and Changsheng all smiled when they saw that their uncle and nephew were so close. Uncle Guo also smiled and said, "Who is taking care of whom?" ”

"Otherwise, her grandfather and grandmother can rest assured, sixteen, this child, is very good at taking care of people. Aunt Xia said.

Seeing that the hour was not early, Aunt Xia didn't let Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish look at the writing again. After putting away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Aunt Xia sent the two children to the West House.

The West Room was dark and empty, and the pearls didn't have candles at all.

Aunt Xia knew that her daughter was still sulking, so she didn't reveal it, but only walked to the kang and lit the candle. Pearl was already lying on the kang with her head against the wall, as if she was asleep, but she had not taken off her clothes.

"Pearl, are you asleep? Wake up, take off your clothes and go back to sleep. Aunt Xia stretched out her hand and pushed her daughter, and then as if nothing had happened, she scolded Pearl, "How old are you, and you are still like this, and you are not afraid that your uncle and fourth sister will laugh at you." ”

Pearl and Aunt Xia have a bad temperament, and the summer solstice is in their eyes. She sensed that there was an undercurrent between the mother and daughter, but Aunt Xia was unwilling to expose it, so she naturally pretended not to know anything. At the same time, she felt that Aunt Xia was very good at handling children's affairs.

Ignoring what happened between Aunt Xia and Pearl, Xia Zhi packed up his and Little Black Fish's things, and took Little Black Fish to wash together.

At this time, Pearl was finally "pushed" by Aunt Xia to wake up. She slowly got up from the kang, hung her head, and let Aunt Xia help her take off her clothes. She refused to get off the kang, and Aunt Xia didn't force her, she only told Xiaohong to wet the veil, and then wiped Pearl her face herself.

"Mother will take you to the old Wang's silk village tomorrow, and one person will make you a new set of clothes. Pearl, don't you want a new dress? I heard that the old Wang family has just bought a batch of new rulers from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and my mother will buy you whatever you like. Aunt Xia spoke softly, with a doting flavor in her tone, "Why don't you speak, will you go with your mother tomorrow?"

Pearl was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth at this moment: "Go." ”

There was only one word, but Aunt Xia smiled.

Seeing that several children were settled, Aunt Xia blew out the candle and went to the east house. Uncle Guo was talking to Changsheng about the grocery store business, and when he saw Aunt Xia coming back, he asked, "Are the children sleeping?"

"They all slept. Aunt Xia said, began to lay the bedding, and planned to rest.

Uncle Guo was still excited, and he didn't plan to rest so early.

"His uncle has been in the academy for so many years, and he has come to us a few times. said that it was Li Shanchang's protégé, and after all these years, it was the first time that someone from the Li family came to our house!"

"We don't know his uncle's temper. Aunt Xia said. Xia Xiucai is a good reader, but he is not a person who is good at handling chores. "Besides, Wenshan Academy has been in operation for more than 100 years. Everyone has a set of rules that have been set a long time ago, and Li Shanchang can't change it even if he wants to. His uncle is just a student of Li Shanchang!"

"I didn't mean that. Uncle Guo coughed dryly twice, and explained hurriedly. "We don't dare to count on those big businesses that have long been established, but the Academy of Literature, as well as the Li family, are all big businesses, take care of our business a little, for us, it is inexhaustible. ”

Uncle Guo has always wanted to do business between Wenshan Academy and the Li family, but he has no way to contact the Li family. Today's arrival of Li Xia gave him hope.

Of course, Aunt Xia knew what the Li family and Wenshan Academy's business meant, and she didn't want her grocery store to be more prosperous. But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. She didn't want Uncle Guo to be angry with the people of the Xia family when he was disappointed.

"What kind of family is the Li family, and where is it easy to cling to. But we all got to know the little son of the Li family, and it was finally an opportunity. Aunt Xia thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant. Uncle Guo immediately said, "Changsheng, in the future, Xiaolong and the others will go to the academy again, you will send them there, and you will see Li Gongzi more." Just don't send them, you go to see your uncle, and have more contact with Li Gongzi, and then you can see Li Shanchang, it will be better. …… Li Shanchang is a good person......"

The child who just met was willing to give him careful guidance, and he also gave him such a valuable study of the four treasures. If they could meet Li Shanchang, they fell in love with Li Shanchang......

Uncle Guo's eyes narrowed with a smile again.

Pearl was sullen and didn't sleep well all night. The next day, her face was not very good for Xia Zhi. The summer solstice only pretends not to be seen, and everything is business as usual.

After breakfast and a little tidying up, Aunt Xia took a few children out.
