Xia Zhi said that Aunt Xia sent the family's maid to drive them over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "It's almost the holidays, and I'm going to see my dad too." Dad, you're all right here. ”

"Good, good. Xia Xiucai responded again and again. He asked a few questions of his concern, and told Xia Zhi to be sensible in Aunt Xia's house, to know filial piety to his elders and to help with work diligently. After that, when he talked to Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish, he seemed a little absent-minded, with an unconcealable sadness between his eyebrows.

What is Xia Xiucai worried about?

"Dad, I heard Li Xia say that the students you teach also take the exam. Did they not do well in the test?" Xia Zhi asked Xia Xiucai.

"There are two who have passed the government exam, and they can take the exam. Xia Xiucai replied, secretly a little strange. He didn't expect Xia Zhi to care about this issue, and listening to the meaning revealed in Xia Zhi's voice, he was very familiar with Li Xia. "Sixteen, I heard that you and Young Master Li Xia met in Linshui Town?"

After coming to Wenshan Academy last time on the summer solstice, Li Xia came to contact Xia Xiucai for some reason. Between the conversations between the two, Li Xia talked lightly about the experience of meeting Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish.

That's why Xia Xiucai asked this today.

"yes. Xia Zhi nodded, and didn't explain much.

Xia Xiucai sighed: "Young Master Li Xia is very approachable. Sixteen, you can't be rude to Young Master Li Xia because of this. For Xia Xiucai, Li Shanchang is not only his mentor, but also his owner.

"I know, don't worry, Dad. Xia Zhi said crisply, and then asked Xia Xiucai, "Since you are not a student who is not my father, I didn't do well in the exam, so why is my father worried?"

Xia Xiucai realized that her sad face was discovered by her daughter. He smiled dryly, "I'm not worried. Of course he was worried. The matter of the salary advance that had been promised suddenly came to naught, and Li Shanchang told him that the college had suddenly had a large amount of expenses recently, and he could only pay the gentlemen on a monthly basis, and no one could advance it anymore.

Moreover, the two students who had already said that he would lend him money suddenly had something to do, saying that they could not lend him money for the time being.

He originally planned to go back to Daxingzhuang once before the Dragon Boat Festival and give the money raised to Tian's. But according to this situation, even after the festival, he can't get back so much money to Tian.

Because of this, he has not slept well and eaten well these days. But how can you tell your child about such a thing? Xia Solstice can't help him share his worries. I can't tell the little black fish about this. If Little Black Fish went back and told Old Man Xia, then Old Man Xia would definitely feel sorry for him, and he would sulk at himself.

The more Xia Xiucai refused to speak, the more Xia Zhi became convinced that Xia Xiucai must be worried about the money.

This is good. Well, it just made him worried. Therefore, Xia Zhi refused to ask again, she simply changed the topic and told Xia Xiucai about the second uncle Xia's family coming to Fucheng.

Xia Xiucai hadn't heard anything about this matter, so she was naturally stunned again. He has been in Wenshan Academy all the year round, and he has no clear understanding of the people and things of Aunt Xia's mother's family as well as Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi saw Xia Xiucai's dazed appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Dad, second uncle, they also threw Xiao Yang to my grandfather and my milk. "And listening to Second Uncle Xia's tone, their family plans to live in Fucheng for a long time, not just stay for a few days and go back.

"Your second uncle is doing something wrong. Xia Xiucai's opinion on this matter is still relatively clear. "Xiao Yang is still young, how can he leave his father. Besides, your grandmother is getting older, I'm afraid I can't take Xiao Yang with me. ”

"It's still my father's opinion. Xia Zhi immediately said, "This matter, my father can come forward to talk about it, and the second uncle should be able to listen." ”

Xia Xiucai is just used to hearing things outside the window, and his nature is never reckless. Xia Zhi said this, and he understood the cause and effect of the matter. He didn't expect that it was Xia Zhi who came up with the idea to find him, and then he thought about it, it should be Aunt Xia who felt sorry for the old lady, so she asked Xia Zhi to come and say this.

Xia Xiucai groaned slightly: "Your second uncle's temper, I said that he may not be sure." Besides, they have long been separated and lived ......"

"Dad, you are the eldest son and the eldest brother. In this matter, whether it is for my grandfather and grandmother, or for my second uncle, only you will come forward. Xia Zhi said busily. Since he is the eldest son and eldest brother, he has to bear the corresponding obligations while the corresponding power.

Justifiably, Xia Zhi felt that Xia Xiucai should pick up this burden.

"Sixteen, your aunt asked you to come?" Xia Xiucai asked.

"No, I came on my own. Dad, I think you should take care of this. As for whether my second uncle will listen to it after you say it, that's another matter. ”

"Big brother, if you don't want to say it, I'll say it. The little black fish looked impatient and said loudly. Originally, he was going to talk about this matter himself, but Xia Zhi and Aunt Xia had to say that they wanted to come to Xia Xiucai.

"I'm not unhappy. Xia Xiucai thought about it while saying, "Your second uncle's family is here, I should also go and have a look." I also said I'd go to your aunt's house to see you both. ”

That's the promise.

"Dad, when are you free?" Xia Zhi immediately asked, she wanted to finalize the time with Xia Xiucai, so as not to have any accidents when the time came.

Xia Xiucai thought about it and decided to hurry up sooner rather than later. "Then today. I'll be there later. ”

"Okay, we'll wait for you for dinner. "The summer solstice said.

Xia Xiucai felt in his heart that Xia Zhi should not be the master of Aunt Xia, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything about Xia Zhi. After all, the family is close to each other, and if he has to avoid passing by during the meal, it will not be good.

Xia Xiucai nodded in agreement.

Xia Zhi came to Xia Xiucai this time mainly for this matter. The matter was settled, and she didn't plan to stay here any longer. But after looking around, I remembered the pot of clothes outside. Xia Zhi felt that otherwise, she would better brush Xia Xiucai's favorability.

"Dad, do you have anything else here that needs to be dismantled, washed and repaired?" Xia Zhi asked Xia Xiucai.

"No, this has just been dismantled. Xia Xiucai said with a smile, he really didn't plan to ask his little daughter to do work for herself. Over the years in the academy, in order to save money, he has done many things by himself, which naturally includes these dismantling, washing, and sewing work.

He said so, but Xia Solstice didn't listen to it. She still checked it carefully and found that Xia Xiucai's bed was still very clean, so she simply went outside the house and washed Xia Xiucai's clothes.

"Sixteen, you can play with your uncle for a while. Daddy washed these garments himself. Xia Xiucai looked at her little daughter rolling up her sleeves, and she felt very ironed in her heart. Although I was still worried, my smile was much happier.

"Dad, I'll wash you, soon. Xia Zhi didn't delay her work while talking, and she also asked Xia Xiucai, "Dad, do you usually wash your clothes yourself?"

Don't blame her for asking. When she came to find her along the way, she once saw a half-old woman carrying a lot of clothes. She asked Li Xia and found out that she was here to do the work.

There are many students and gentlemen living in the college, and many of their clothes are not washed by themselves, but handed over to these washers, and after paying a few pennies, the clothes can be washed and sent back.

In contrast to the students, the gentlemen hardly do their own laundry. can look at Xia Xiucai's appearance, he should be used to washing himself.

Xia Xiucai replied to Xia Zhi with a smile, saying that his clothes were all washed by himself. "I'm used to it. Your aunt also said that I should send her clothes to be washed, I am troublesome. I washed it in a few clicks, so I didn't need to send it so far, hehe. ”

It's hard to say anything on the summer solstice. Xia Xiucai's father may not do very well, but for Tian, he should be a rare good husband.

In this time, some gentlemen who lived in the same courtyard came back one after another, and some brought back students. When they saw the summer solstice in the courtyard, they asked Xia Xiucai about it.

Knowing that Xia Zhi was Xia Xiucai's daughter, the big guys praised Xia Zhi for his ability.

"There's still a girl who is intimate. The boys in my family know about the disaster every day, and my lady and her family members are busy. If there is a neat little girl to help with the cooking, my lady can also save a lot of worry. "This is Mr. Liu, who lives in the upper room.

Mr. Liu is a lifter, while teaching at the academy while reviewing the Four Books and Five Classics, meeting friends with his colleagues in literature, and in two years he plans to enter Beijing to take the examination. He is also from the North Town Government, and his family lives in a big town store more than 20 miles away from here.

He said that he was very envious of Xia Xiucai, and asked Xia Zhi how old he was, and whether he was married.

"My third son is eleven years old this year, which is the same age as Xia Zhi's little niece. Brother Xia, why don't we just be our sons and daughters. Liu Juren is tall and big, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is very cheerful, laughing and talking.

Brother Liu teased. Xia Xiucai was polite to Liu Juren, "Xia Zhi is rough-handed, but he is not worthy of the third son." ”

It turned out that the Liu family was very rich. Liu Juren came to the academy to teach, not for that little restraint. He is a student of Li Shanchang, and teaching at Wenshan Academy is to repay his teacher, and he can also ask his teacher for advice. The college is full of talents, which is very beneficial to his studies. Plus, you can expand your network here.

Of course, Xia Xiucai refused this matter without hesitation, not because the Liu family was rich, or even because Liu Juren's words were so easy. Liu Juren's temperament is very heroic, he is an excellent wine, and he is known as a madman.

Xia Xiucai is very easy-going, but he never thought of being a family member with a madman.

There are other gentlemen who came over and said that they could be a matchmaker for the summer solstice. Xia Xiucai was a little irresistible, and in the end he could only say that he had to listen to Tian's opinion on Xia Zhi's family affairs.

Everyone laughed: "Brother Xia treats his sister-in-law with deep affection." "The tone is a little weird.

Xia Zhi suddenly realized that it was in this Wenshan Academy that Xia Xiucai's reputation for strict control of his wife was already known.
