Chapter 530: Accident
Tian Kuo can't be said to be a particularly trustworthy gentleman, but what he said to Xia Zhi has not been broken.
Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia, and then immediately determined that something must have happened to Tian Kuo. She looked left and right, and gave Li Xia a look.
Li Xia understood, made an excuse and got up to leave. Xia Zhi waited for a while, then got up and left.
Li Xia was waiting for the summer solstice by the backyard wall in the front yard.
The two met, and Xia Zhi didn't speak, so he led Li Xia to the cherry tree. At this time, everyone was watching the play under the stage, and the front and back yards of the Xia family were very quiet.
"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia.
"It's not a big deal. Li Xia said.
"It's definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise Tian Kuo wouldn't be able to say it and wouldn't come. Li Xia, what else can't you say to me?!"
Li Xia thought about it, and it was indeed like this. Xia Solstice is not only his dearest person, but also extremely intelligent and measured. No matter what it is, he can tell Xia Zhi without any worries.
"It's Bing'er. Li Xia said to Xia Zhi.
He Bing'er lost her husband, and the Li family and the Tian family sent people to the funeral. Counting the days, those two should be back. What bad news about He Bing'er is this to bring back?
"Not really. Li Xia replied sullenly.
"Then what's the matter?" Xia Solstice was puzzled.
"It's more serious than that. Li Xia said.
"Don't wait for me to ask you. Just tell me exactly what you are. Xia Zhi said dryly.
Only then did Li Xia tell Xia Zhi: "He Bing'er followed the people of our two families...... One piece came back and now lives at my uncle's house. ”
Xia Zhi was immediately taken aback: "How can this be?!"
The son of the Shangshu family has only been dead for a few days, and He Bing'er is still in the filial piety. Even if she has passed the filial piety of her deceased husband, she must stay in Shangshu Mansion to be widowed in the future.
Now the Shangshu prince is also buried. How could He Bing'er come to Beizhen Mansion? How could the Shangshu family agree? Besides, although everyone gave her enough dignity when He Bing'er left, He Bing'er herself should know that she couldn't live with the Tian family and the Li family, especially the Tian family.
It can be said that He Bing'er put Tian Kuo and the Tian family together.
At this time, even if He Bing'er returned to her own mother's house, it would be impossible for her to return to Beizhen Mansion?
Xia Zhi told Li Xia his thoughts.
Li Xia heheheed twice: "Of course there is a reason for this." ”
After He Bing'er got married, the impression to the outside world has always been that she lives a good life. He Bing'er is indeed a fine food in Shangshu Mansion, and she has everything she should have as a young grandmother. Shangshu Mansion has not yet reduced He Bing'er's share. Even if there was any shortage of supplies in Shangshu Mansion, He Bing'er himself had a rich dowry.
But He Bing'er's life in Shangshu Mansion cannot be called easy.
Shang Shugongzi is young and fun-loving, and nothing has changed even after he got married. In order to show virtue and be able to cage her husband's heart, He Bing'er actually took out her private money to buy a beauty for Shangshu Gongzi as a concubine.
That Shangshu Gongzi was overly consumed, he knew that He Bing'er was rich, and he saw He Bing'er being virtuous, and he often talked to He Bing'er since then.
Later, she spent more, and He Bing'er was a little reluctant, but she couldn't hold her money pocket anymore. Whether it is Mrs. Shangshu or He Bing'er's parents and grandmothers, the big guy thinks that He Bing'er should provide for her husband because she keeps a rich dowry.
As a result, Shang Shugongzi died, and He Bing'er's dowry was not much left.
There's one more terrible thing.
Although Shang Shugongzi has never been physically strong~ healthy, he has always been safe and stable before marrying He Bing'er. But after he married He Bing'er, he fell ill twice. Until this time, he couldn't afford to be sick and died.
Everyone in Shangshu Mansion, especially Mrs. Shangshu, was heartbroken by the early death of her beloved son, so they put the blame on He Bing'er.
Mrs. Shangshu once pointed at He Bing'er's nose and scolded the mourning star because she was too sad and couldn't control herself, saying that He Bing'er's life was hard, and it was He Bing'er who killed her husband.
Shangshu Gongzi has not been buried yet, He Bing'er is still in front of her husband's spirit every day, and Mrs. Shangshu is already like this. Then He Bing'er's days in Shangshu Mansion can be imagined. There is no suspense about what He Bing'er's life will be like in Shangshu Mansion in the future.
He Bing'er cried with the mother-in-law sent by the Li family and the Tian family, saying how Mrs. Shangshu instructed her subordinates to be mean to her, and also said that Mrs. Shangshu had revealed that she should follow her husband.
He Bing'er said that she was not afraid of living a hard life in the future, but she was worried that after the people of the Li family and the Tian family left, the people of Shangshu Mansion would not allow her to continue to live at all.
He Bing'er said that he didn't want to stay in Shangshu Mansion.
But the He family did not support He Bing'er's idea. In fact, He Bing'er's father and stepmother were very angry and scared after knowing that He Bing'er had this thought.
He Bing'er "died" Shang Shu's son, and Shang Shu was already very dissatisfied with He Bing'er's father. If the He family still takes He Bing'er home to live, it will completely offend Shangshufu. He Bing'er's father is not to mention promotion, but he is afraid that the current official hat will not be worn firmly.
In He Bing'er's words, her father was eager to use one of her lives to appease the sadness and anger of Shangshufu.
But He Bing'er was not willing to die for this.
He Bing'er left Shangshu Mansion by herself, and also expressed her break with her mother's family, and then followed the Li and Tian families back to Beizhen Mansion.
The Li family and the Tian family sent out are all capable children, so they naturally won't take care of He Bing'er's matter. But He Bing'er insisted on following, and they couldn't tie He Bing'er up and send him back.
If they send He Bing'er back, He Bing'er will really have only one dead end.
There are naturally a lot of all kinds of farces in between. In short, He Bing'er now followed the Li and Tian families back to Beizhen Mansion and lived in Tian Kuo's house.
Tian Kuo couldn't come to Daxingzhuang to pay New Year's greetings because of this incident.
Summer solstice raises his hand to support his forehead.
"Why can't he come when you can come?"
Li Xia was silent.
"How is Wu Niang?"
"Why don't you say it? Li Xia said.
"Li Xia, do you think Tian Kuo will ......" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia.
"Don't ask me about this. If you want to ask, it's better to go back to Fucheng and ask Tian Kuo directly. …… I don't think so. Tian Kuo may still have some ...... about Bing'er , but he knows his responsibility, he should just pity Bing'er. ”
"You've used all the pity. I don't think it's optimistic. "The summer solstice said.
"And the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt, we can't let them make trouble. Li Xia said.
"I hope so. Xia Zhi said absentmindedly.
In the evening, Xia Zhi told Mrs. Xia about it. Aunt Xia and Tian were both present.
Mrs. Xia was very emotional: "This is really unexpected. This Bing'er girl...... It's not an ordinary person. She spoke tactfully, probably wanting to say that He Bing'er was very thick-skinned.
"She is the daughter-in-law of Shangshu Mansion. Even if she came to Beizhen Mansion with her, would she dare not guard Shangshu Mansion? I think she will have to go back to Shangshu Mansion in the end. The Li family and the Tian family can't offend Shangshu Mansion for her. Tian said.
"I think He Bing'er came back to Beizhen Mansion regardless of it, I'm afraid he has other plans. Aunt Xia said contemplatively.
"What else could she do?" Tian said.
"In my opinion, I'll just talk about it. She is young, and she is such a reluctant character, she is only afraid that she will not give Shangshu Mansion a guard. ”
He Bing'er didn't just flee from Shangshu Mansion to survive, she didn't want to be widowed in Shangshu Mansion yet. Then her purpose for coming to Beizhen Mansion is very clear.
He Bing'er still has to calculate the people of the Li family and the Tian family!
Xia Zhi pondered for a while: "It's still my aunt who can see things thoroughly." ”
"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Your mother-in-law doesn't necessarily have to figure it out. But if they still hurt this He Bing'er, it would be hard to say. Aunt Xia said.
"This He Bing'er is thinking of being a concubine for Tian Kuo. Tian understood Aunt Xia's words.
Aunt Xia and Mrs. Xia didn't speak.
Tian pondered for a while: "Xia Zhi, I seem to have heard you say that this He Bing'er is quite angry. And what about her...... Oh, she won't still think about Li Xia. ”
"Li Xia can't. Aunt Xia said. It's not that she doesn't think He Bing'er won't beat Li Xia's idea, but she thinks that Li Xia won't be tempted by He Bing'er.
If Li Xia was interested in He Bing'er, he wouldn't have waited until now. If Li Xia was willing, He Bing'er would not have chosen to marry Shangshugongzi. He Bing'er is still very optimistic about Li Xia's future.
"Li Xia can't, that can't stand it......" Tian frowned, and paused halfway through his words. She turned her head and said to Xia Solstice hurriedly, "Xia Solstice, you can't be confused. Hurry up, didn't Li Xia say that he wanted to get married in advance, you should get married quickly. ”
Xia Zhi ignored Tian's.
Li Xia hasn't mentioned the early marriage date this time.
Tian was very dissatisfied, she felt that Xia Zhi's reaction was too cold. "Why don't you seem to be fine. Then Tian complained to Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia about the summer solstice.
"They all say she's shrewd, so what's the point. Sometimes, I think she's lacking in heart. Tian not only refers to the fact that Xia Zhi can't distinguish between inside and outside, but also when it comes to the love between men and women, she feels that Xia Solstice is also very dull.
If the summer solstice hadn't been dull, it would have been married a few years earlier. Of course, the object is not Li Xia.
Although Li Xia is very good now, this does not change Tian's view of the summer solstice.
Tian asked Xia Zhi to marry Li Xia quickly, and the province let He Bing'er take advantage of the loophole.
“…… If this He Bing'er really wants to be Mrs. Xuan, then being a concubine is also for Li Xiabi to Tian Kuoqiang. Aunt Xia said.
She is also tactfully reminding the summer solstice.
That night, they didn't say anything else. Xia Zhi listened to such words, but he didn't say anything to Li Xia.
If she doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it.
Tian hurriedly found Li Xia. Xia Zhi didn't know what Tian had said to Li Xia, so Li Xia came to her to confess.
Li Xia told Xia Zhi not to worry. "You don't know my heart. ”
"I'm not worried. If I didn't know your heart, then we would have been in vain for the past few years. "The summer solstice said.
Li Xia smiled, and then she told Xia Zhi that he told Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian about the early marriage.
Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian did not object, but Mrs. Tian invited someone to count the days, but they couldn't count them as good days.
There were also good days before the wedding date set by the two, but they all hindered Li Xia's future.
This so-called obstruction is not considered an obstruction at all in ordinary people's homes. But the Li family's expectations for Li Xia are very high, and they hope that Li Xia will be able to enter the cabinet as a minister in the future and become the third elder of the Li family.
The days that were originally calculated are extremely appropriate for this.
"I'll go back and tell my mom and dad. I don't believe those claims at all. Besides, it's not as important as you whether you're old or not!" Li Xia said to Xia Zhi with a smile.
"Oops, forget it. Don't change your day. Xia Zhi waved his hand, "Don't wait for you to be an old man in the future, people don't say that you can't study or succeed, just say that you chose the wrong day to marry me." I don't carry this pot. Let's get married according to the date we set before. Xia Zhi said dryly.
Li Xia looked at Xia Solstice speechlessly.
Xia Zhi snorted and laughed: "I believe in you." This calculated day is the thoughts of the elders, or follow their wishes, they are awkward in their hearts, and we will suffer in the future. ”
"I really don't change my life. But I want to change it. ”
"Don't change it. You can't change it if you go and say it, I'll tell you when I go back~ Mother, it's better to come according to the original day. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
This is how the matter of the wedding date was decided.
Li Xia and they stayed in Daxingzhuang for two nights, which was rare for both him and Liu Fengcai.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the new and old aunts of the Xia family left.
But the buzzing days continued.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the summer solstice helped Mrs. Xia chop the dumpling filling. This kind of work doesn't need her to do it at all now, but chopping the dumpling filling on the fifth day of the first month is the meaning of chopping the villain, so Mrs. Xia asked Xia Zhi to chop a few knives herself, which means that she will be quiet in the new year and not troubled by villains.
“…… The days of coming back are not shallow, so let's go back after the fifth day of the new year. Your uncle and Xiaoshu'er should also go back to study hard, and stay at home in the wilderness. Mrs. Xia said to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi understood that Mrs. Xia was persuading herself to go back earlier. For the sake of He Bing'er.
What she didn't care about herself, everyone in the Xia family took it to heart.
"Milk, it's okay. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
Both understood what the other was saying. Since the summer solstice is explained, Mrs. Xia will no longer turn around.
"Li Xia, that kid, we are quasi-children. But there are thieves for a thousand days, and there are no thieves for a thousand days. "There is another sentence, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.
What kind of means did He Bing'er use, what should Li Xia do if he was accidentally fooled?
When the summer solstice comes, it will be too late to regret it.
Even if it doesn't make a big mistake in the end, the originally sweet little couple may leave some kind of rift and defect that is not easy to bridge.
"Sixteen, you~ Mother has a saying that is right. You kid is shrewd in big things, but in small things, you kid don't know how to play tricks between women. Sixteen, we can't afford to lose on this......"
