Chapter 327: Temptation
Mrs. Jiugu's smiling eyes narrowed, and she pointed to Tian Kuo: "You came to accompany Jiugu to dinner, Jiugu is not happy." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Poor thing, don't your parents have anything good for you to eat!"
Tian Kuo laughed and said that his portion of the dish was "not as delicious as Jiugu's here." ā
Mrs. Jiugu is widowed and returns to her parents' house to live, which is naturally different from when she was a girl at home. This time, she came back with her usual cook, who is very good at cooking some southern side dishes and snacks. Mrs. Jiugu opened a small kitchen in her yard, but she took care of all the food by herself.
Hearing Tian Kuo say that her food here was delicious, of course Mrs. Jiugu was happy. She asked Tian Kuo to sit down next to her, and asked Tian Kuo to add food, and then said that Tian Kuo was "a child's temper, and he always felt the fragrance in other people's bowls." ā
Everyone laughs.
Everyone took their seats, and Tian Kuo picked the summer solstice gift at the dinner table. Because he knew that the condensed milk and canned food were sent by Xia Zhi, but not in the gifts given to him, Tian Kuo said that Xia Zhi favored one over the other, and was very partial.
"Because I just came here and packed up the house and moved, I was so busy, and some things just packed up. If you don't dislike it, I'll send someone to bring you one tomorrow. ā
Tian Kuo was satisfied, but he didn't want to wait until tomorrow. "I know you're busy, and you'll forget about it tomorrow. I'll have someone follow you back in a moment. I have to hold this thing in my hand before I can feel at ease. ā
He spoke like this with a full childish manner, which made Mrs. Jiugu laugh again.
The canned canned peaches in sugar water sent by Xia Zhi are indeed a rarity, which is more appetizing, and Mrs. Jiugu is in a good mood, so she really has a great appetite and eats a full bowl of japonica rice.
According to the girls who served, this was the most Mrs. Jiugu had eaten in the past few days. Mrs. Jiugu was appetizing, and her condition was much better, and of course everyone was very happy.
After eating, everyone sat down again and drank tea and talked.
Mrs. Jiugu treats the summer solstice more kindly, and she is even more invisible. She asked if there were any canned peaches in the summer solstice sugar water. Xia Zhi said that there was, although it was not much, but there was always a share for Mrs. Jiugu.
"And the hawthorn ones. That also helps to restrain the most good for food accumulation, that is, it is a little sour. "Even with a lot of sugar, this canned hawthorn is still a little sour.
But if it's not sour, it's not hawthorn.
Mrs. Jiugu said that she wanted it. "Originally, there was no taste in my mouth, but after eating this, I opened my appetite. ā
"Wait for me to ask someone to bring the letter home and bring it to Jiugu. Xia Zhi said with a smile.
"Good, good. Mrs. Jiugu smiled and nodded.
Because the hour was not early, Xia Zhi proposed to leave. Mrs. Jiugu just heard Li Xia say that Xia Zhi had just been settled, and there were still many things, and she was still thinking about finding a shop to open a shop or something, so she didn't force Xia Zhi to stay.
"I heard Li Xia say, sixteen, when will your shop open, you give me a letter, and I will take someone to take care of your business. Mrs. Jiugu said to Xia Zhi with a smile.
"Then I'll thank Jiu Gu first. When it opened, the first one to notify Jiugu. ā
Mrs. Jiugu asked Xia Zhi when she planned to go to Li's house again, but Xia Zhi and Li Xia had already discussed. The summer solstice said the day, and Mrs. Jiugu nodded and didn't say anything.
When the summer solstice came out, Mrs. Jiugu sent it by sending the crescent moon. The crescent moon gave Xia Zhi a food box, which was full of delicate snacks, which had just been made in Mrs. Jiu's kitchen.
In addition, the crescent moon herself gave Xia Zhi a ruler, and then quickly measured the size of Xia Solstice and the little black fish, saying that she was free to make clothes for them.
Xia Zhi didn't push too much, happily accepted it, and said to the crescent moon that she would have time to come to her house to play.
The crescent moon was at the second gate, and he only watched the carriage of the summer solstice go away, and then slowly went back.
Xia Zhi sat in the carriage and looked behind him a few times, and then sighed softly.
Li Xia didn't speak, only secretly stretched out the book, shook Xia Zhi's hand, and then let go.
Back home, Xia Zhi took Li Xia and Xiao Heiyuer to the east to sit in the second room. The little black fish was full of energy, and he couldn't sit still at all, so he teased Daqing to play in the house.
Xia Zhi gave the food box to the girl Xiaoling and took it to the kitchen, put aside the ruler sent by the crescent moon, and then sighed softly.
"Sixteen ......" Li Xia asked Xia Zhi what was on his mind.
"Li Xia, you said Sister Crescent, could it be my Sister Da Yue'er?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia in a low voice.
About Da Yue'er, Xia Zhi once told Li Xia.
Li Xia knows all about the Xia family.
"I can't say for sure, just looking at the day and the appearance of the crescent moon, if you don't say it, let the two of you stand together, and people will definitely say that you are sisters. Li Xia said.
"What do you think of Jiu Gu?" Xia Zhi asked again.
"Jiu Gu doesn't know about Sister Da Yue'er. I didn't tell her. Li Xia told Xia Zhi, "She also saw what you looked like, so she guessed that you might have relatives." ā
"Oh, then don't tell Jiugu for the time being. Xia Zhi said immediately.
"Sixteen, what do you think?" Li Xia asked Xia Zhi.
"I think she is, but I'm not sure yet, I'll have to check it. Xia Zhi thought about it and said, "Sister Crescent Moon has a birthmark on her wrist, if this is correct, then it will be correct." ā
Li Xia nodded, and then asked Xia Zhi again: "Are you going to recognize the crescent moon?"
"I'm worried about this. Xia Zhi showed a somewhat tangled expression.
It stands to reason that if it is determined that the crescent moon is the big moon, then the summer solstice will not hesitate at all, and will recognize it immediately. Her own sister, what else can she plan? In addition, Da Yue'er has always been a heart disease of Xia Qiao.
Finding Da Yue'er, Xia Qiao didn't know how happy he would be.
But the trouble is that the crescent moon did not say that she was sold by her own mother, but said that when her mother took her to visit the temple fair, she got lost and let the abductor be trafficked.
"If you say this point, then the crescent moon is not Sister Da Yue'er. Li Xia said.
"What about other coincidences?" Xia Zhi asked, "Li Xia, I don't know if you've heard of such a thing. ā
Children's memories are sometimes very unreliable. Not to mention children, even adults, if they are older, coupled with some stimulation and accidents, they may not be able to fully remember what happened before.
Moreover, people will unconsciously distort and make up memories for various reasons.
A child was sold by his mother, maybe he was coaxed at the time, thinking that he could live a good life by sacrificing his family or something. At that time, she may not have been afraid. But what about after that......
He was escorted on a ship and transported to the south, unwell, and his friends died tragically, and then his life was very bad.
After this child is saved, it is likely that there will be some memory loss and confusion. Then, after understanding the true meaning of being sold by her mother, she is likely to hate her mother, and she may unconsciously make up memories. She was not sold by her mother, but was lost and abducted by a kidnapper.
Her mother was very reluctant to lose her.
If the situation of the crescent moon is like this, and the summer solstice believes that eight ~ nine times out of ten is like this, then it is a question whether to recognize this parent.
After recognizing the kiss, the true ~ phase of the crescent moon that was sold must not be hidden for long. Maybe she doesn't need to be told, the crescent moon can slowly remember it herself.
Moreover, the summer solstice has another concern.
The crescent moon is too soft and cute, and the temperament is docile, and the heart is soft, although he suffered when he was a child, but he lived a good life after he came to Mrs. Jiugu's side.
Such a crescent moon is a little ignorant of the suffering of the world.
Xia Zhi was worried that once she recognized this parent, Tian had contact with the crescent moon, Tian was a person who knew how to watch people put dishes, she might see an opportunity in the crescent moon, and would never let go of this opportunity.
Maybe the crescent moon is not a lost daughter in Tian's eyes, but a piece of fat with plenty of oil and water. And the crescent moon doesn't know how to resist, and it doesn't know how to resist, it's simply a tragedy.
The summer solstice can't watch such a thing happen, the day of the crescent moon was supposed to be good!
Xia Zhi told Li Xia about this worry.
Only then did Li Xia understand why Xia Zhi reacted like that after knowing that the crescent moon was likely to be his own sister.
"Sixteen, you're very considerate of people. Li Xia said in a low voice, Xia Zhi always said that this heart is kind, that heart is good, in fact, the person with the kindest heart is obviously herself.
However, this kind of thing on the summer solstice has thorns on the outside, and not everyone can see it immediately. This is Xia Zhi's family environment, and he has no choice but to protect himself.
"What are you going to do now?" Li Xia meant, no matter what Xia Zhi wanted, he would support it unconditionally.
"I want to ask my father, Sister Crescent's birthmark, first confirm whether she is my eldest sister Yue'er. No, I recognized this sister. It's not easier, but if so, I'll think about it slowly. ā
Li Xia nodded.
Before Xia Qiao came back, Xia Zhi called the miscellaneous boy over and asked him to go to Wenshan Academy to see what Xia Qiao was doing. Then let the little maid take her words, and let Xia Xiucai come over for dinner at night.
When the time comes, you can just ask Xia Xiucai.
After arranging this matter, Xia Zhi was about to tell Li Xia about opening a shop, but he didn't know when the little black fish would come to him.
The little black fish raised her head, and looked at the summer solstice with big eyes flickering: "Sixteen, that crescent moon, is it from our family?"
"Ah," Xia Zhi wondered what she should say. The little black fish's ears are so pointed, and he is also clever, and there is almost nothing to hide from him. And this little guy is very busy. "Probably, I'm not sure yet. Uncle, let's keep this matter secret first, and then we'll talk about it when we're sure it's right. ā
"I know. Little Black Fish nodded, "I said why are you so good to her." Crescent moon I think she's okay. Sixteen, I don't say. I'll say it when you tell me to. ā
This is in front of the summer solstice, and the little black fish is still very well-behaved.
The little black fish went to the side to play with Daqing again.
"How can I not hurt him. Xia Zhi said to Li Xia.
"Uncle is quite annoying. Li Xia smiled, Tian Qi was very rare, and now he was thinking that he could make the little black fish recognize him as his godfather, and he would go to his house to follow him in the future. However, Li Xia knew Xia Zhi's thoughts, and thanks to him maneuvering around Tian Qi, he didn't mention this matter again.
Then, the two talked about the shop.
"I plan to do this shop for a long-term business...... so I can't rent it, if it's my own property." Summer Solstice plans to buy a shop. "It's okay to buy it in the east and west markets, so you can't buy it, so find a shop between here and the east market, not outside the academy. ā
Xia Zhi told Li Xia about his plans.
"Okay, I'll help you find it. Find it, you choose. Li Xia said, "Don't go to the West Market, it's too far away." After that, you're tired of running around. ā
"That's fine. Xia Zhi nodded, and really didn't think about Xishi anymore. Originally, she considered the West Market because she was on the same street with Uncle Guo's grocery store and Tian Laibao's Guixiangzhai, and everyone came and went close and took care of each other.
"But this shop is in a hurry. I don't have that much money left, so I'll have to wait for the money from the cotton sale to come back. Xia Zhi said again.
"Silver is not a problem, it really can't be borrowed from me, Tian Kuo, and Seventh Uncle. Li Xia said, "The key is to shop well." ā
Then Li Xia asked Xia Zhi what he planned to sell in the shop.
This is the positioning of the shop.
"Of course, you have to sell something unique. For example, canned fruit, and that condensed milk, and other things, I am slowly preparing, and when the time comes, my shop will also be unique in Fucheng. ā
"It must be some rare and expensive things. Li Xia asked.
Xia Zhi nodded, the items are rare and expensive, so the target customer group is also a wealthy family. This is something to consider when choosing the location of the store.
āā¦ā¦ It should mainly be the girls, grandmothers, and wives of wealthy families. Xia Zhi told Li Xia like this.
Hearing her say this, Li Xia's heart was even more bottomed. "Do you have any requirements for the price of the shop?"
"No, you get what you pay for, you can buy it if you want to buy it. Xia Zhi said, let Li Xia help her find it.
"Hmm. Li Xia nodded and said that he had written it down.
It was not early, and Xia Qiao and Xia Xiu came back. Li Xia accompanied Xia Qiao and Xia Xiucai to talk for a while, and then said goodbye and left. Xiao Heiyu'er has recognized and recognized it clearly in the past few days, and it is impossible for Li Xia to accompany him every day like he did in Daxingzhuang.
"It would be nice if Li Xia was also our family. At the dinner table, the little black fish suddenly came out with such a sentence.
Xia Qiao laughed.
Xia Xiucai was slightly stunned, but after listening to Xia Qiao's explanation, he understood what the little black fish meant.
"Li Xia wants to study, and he has many elders and relatives in his family, so he has to be comprehensive. Xiaolong, you should also practice your words, recognize more words, and you will enter the academy next year. Xia Xiucai spoke earnestly.
The little black fish hummed perfunctorily and stopped talking.
After eating, Xia Zhi made tea, and the family sat around the bookcase and chatted. The summer solstice brought the topic to Da Yue'er.
