Aunt Xia said that the hour was not early, and asked everyone to go back and rest. The summer solstice www.biquge.info came out of the east house and did not go to the west house, but went straight to the kitchen. The little black fish refused to go back to rest first, and wanted to accompany the summer solstice.

The two children went to the kitchen. Sister-in-law Liu hadn't rested yet, she was busy asking Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish with a smile if they wanted to eat some supper. Pearl didn't eat dinner, and Sister-in-law Liu knew about it. Xia Zhi saw that there was a half-wrapped tofu skin bun on the case, so he guessed that it was prepared by Sister-in-law Liu for Pearl.

"Sister-in-law Liu, you're busy, I'll do it myself." Xia Zhi smiled and asked Sister-in-law Liu for some soaked Jiang rice, and asked for some dumpling leaves to soak in another.

Because the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Aunt Xia's family likes to eat zongzi, so Sister-in-law Liu bought Jiang rice in advance and came back to soak it. Counting the hours, it should have been almost soaked, just waiting for Aunt Xia's order to come down, she planned to wrap the zongzi after soaking the zongzi leaves again.

Sister-in-law Liu asked Xia Zhi with a smile: "Is the cousin planning to make zongzi?" I'd better come, my cousin will rest early. And he said, "This rice dumpling is not easy to wrap." ”

Zongzi is indeed not very good to wrap, and the summer solstice has personal experience. When she first learned to wrap zongzi, the wrapping was either tight or loose, and it took a long time to wrap a zongzi. But the hard work paid off, and she was already able to wrap it very well.

"Sister-in-law Liu, I'm going to wrap a few zongzi and give them away. Prepare it now, and you can pack it tomorrow morning. Just a few, I'll do it alone. Xia Zhi told Sister-in-law Liu, "You should hurry up and prepare food for Pearl, it is estimated that she will be hungry in a while." ”

Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly agreed, and went to continue to wrap tofu skin buns.

Xia Zhi took two other pots and fished out some of the almost soaked Jiang rice. One pot put some more water, and the other poured out the water and marinated it slightly. Then, she took another piece of fatty pork belly and marinated it with autumn oil and other seasonings. After these were done, she asked Sister-in-law Liu for some zongzi leaves to soak in the water.

When Xia Zhi finished the preparations, Aunt Xia also sent Xiaohong over to say that Pearl was hungry and wanted to eat. Sister-in-law Liu was busy and asked Xiaohong to bring the freshly steamed tofu skin buns and send them over.

Xia Zhi smiled, knowing that Aunt Xia should have coaxed the pearl. She talked to Sister-in-law Liu, and when Xiaohong came back with an empty plate, she and Little Black Fish slowly walked back to the upper room.

In the Westroom, Pearl had been refreshed, but her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried very much. Aunt Xia sat next to Pearl, and the mother and daughter spoke in low voices.

Seeing Xia Zhi and the little black fish coming in, Pearl hesitated slightly, but still stood up, and called out to the old uncle and the fourth sister in a mosquito-like voice. Her gaze swept over the faces of the two of them, and then she lowered her head.

However, this is also very rare.

Aunt Xia's face was smiling, she also stood up, and took care of the three children before blowing out the candle and going out to cover the door.

The little black fish soon fell asleep. Pearl rolled over slightly, seemingly having some difficulty sleeping. Xia Solstice closed his eyes and was also thinking about things. …… Tian Laibao did not come.

She originally expected that Tian Laibao would come to her and Xiao Heiyuer today, so she didn't go to Wenshan Academy. Tian Laibao didn't come today, so he won't come for the time being.

Guixiangzhai still has doubts!

Summer Solstice sighed secretly. This is to be expected, in fact, things have gone relatively smoothly. The so-called good things are grinding. She can wait.

I didn't say anything all night, and I got up early the next day on the summer solstice. She first went to the kitchen, wrapped about 20 rice dumplings, put them in the pot and boiled them. At this time, the big guys are just getting up.

After breakfast, Aunt Xia said that she was going to see Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia. "Pearl come with me." Then she asked Xia Zhi and the little black fish if they wanted to go together.

"My uncle and I won't go. Let's go to Wenshan Academy today. "The summer solstice said.

"That's fine." Aunt Xia and Uncle Guo both nodded, Xia Zhi was going to find Xia Xiucai today, and let Xia Xiucai come forward to take care of Second Uncle Xia.

"Pearl and I hired a sedan chair to go to Yaowangmiao Hutong. Let the family's car send Xiaolong and Sixteen. Aunt Xia arranged.

"Uncle and Brother Changsheng should also use a car. My uncle and I just need to hire a car. Auntie, don't worry, my uncle and I can't lose it. "The summer solstice said.

"That's not going to work. I can't go with you, and then let you hire a car, so how can I rest assured. Sixteen, if you do this again, but when you see your aunt, your aunt will be angry. ”

The summer solstice said no more.

Aunt Xia asked the tailor Sister-in-law Wang to hurry up and make the clothes for Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to be sent over early in the morning, and Aunt Xia had to let them wear new clothes before she was willing to let the two of them go out. She also took out the box of snacks and asked Xia Zhi to give them to Li Shanchang.

Summer Solstice refused. "Auntie, I wrapped a few zongzi and planned to send them to Li Shanchang." Although the dim sum box is valuable, it is nothing to Li Shanchang, but I am afraid that he can pile up such a gift during the Dragon Boat Festival. But this is not the case with hand-wrapped zongzi. That's a part of her heart, and it's more chic and kind.

"Sixteen, this kid is sometimes more thoughtful than we adults think." Aunt Xia sighed, knowing that Xia Zhi still wanted to leave the box of snacks to them. However, she also made up her mind that she couldn't accept this snack box. "It just so happens that the person who carried the letter hasn't left yet, so let's bring this box of snacks back to your father and your grandmother."

This time, Xia Solstice can't refute it. She didn't go to her heart, she wanted to give Aunt Xia's things, there would be opportunities in the future, not at this time.

Xia Zhi wore new clothes and felt that it fit well. Because she chose fine silk, which is more modest than satin, and it is also very comfortable to wear. Sister-in-law Wang is not going to talk about her personality for the time being, but she really didn't pick the clothes she made there.

The little black fish also wore new clothes and happily led Daqing. When Xia Solstice went to the kitchen to carry a food box filled with zongzi, the two children got into a carriage and went to Wenshan Academy.

This time, the carriage did not stop at the entrance of the academy, but went straight into the academy. Xia Zhi still remembered the location of Li Shanchang's courtyard, so he guided the coachman to drive the carriage to the gate of the courtyard and stopped.

Because she didn't know how long she would stay in the academy, Xia Zhi still sent the carriage back first, explaining that she and Xiao Heiyuer were trying to find a way to go back to Xishi Street by themselves.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate with the food box, a small servant hurriedly greeted her from the side.

"Miss Xia is here!" The little guy respectfully greeted Xia Solstice and the little black fish. Xia Zhi also recognized that this little guy had seen it last time, but he didn't expect him to remember them and know who they were.

The little girl was very respectful and polite: "The girl is here to find the young master?" The young master is not here, please wait a while, and the little one will go and ask the young master to come over. ”

"Where did Li Xia go?" Xia Zhi asked.

The little girl told her: "The young master was called by a few classmates to debate the article, not far from here. ”

"Oh." Xia Zhi nodded, and asked the little servant Li Shanchang if he was there, "I want to see Li Shanchang." Li Xia, if he has something, let him be busy first. ”

"If the mountain grows, I will report it for the girl." The little girl said this, and told Xia Zhi with a smile, "The young master has ordered, as long as the girl comes, the little one will call him immediately." Nothing is as important as the girl's business. ”

The little guy went to the upper room, and soon came out to tell Xia Zhi and the little black fish that Li Shanchang invited them in. Then he saluted Xia Zhi and hurriedly went to find Li Xia.

Li Xia instructed him more than one. Whoever grabbed this errand not only curried favor with Li Xia, but also got a lot of reward. Li Xiagongzi has always been generous.

Before leaving the yard, the little guy just walked briskly, not daring to lose his temper. When he got out of Li Shanchang's courtyard, he spread his legs and ran: Hurry up and spread the good news to the young master!

Li Shanchang is writing. Xia Zhi put the food box aside when she entered the door, and when Li Shanchang finished writing and raised his head, she and the little black fish stepped forward to greet Li Shanchang.

"Sixteen, Xiaolong, you guys are here, sit down quickly." Li Shanchang asked the servant to bring snacks and sweet soup (to entertain the two children, he did not let the tea be served, but instructed the servant to prepare another sweet soup), and then sat down to talk to the two children. "What you want me to do, I've done it."

This is talking about not giving Xia Xiucai a salary advance.

"Thank you, Chief." Xia Zhi's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he smiled.

"Hey," Li Shanchang sighed, "I've been a wicked person." ”

"If the mountain chief advances my father's salary, it will be a good thing to do a bad thing. What the mountain chief is doing now is a great good thing for my father and for us. Xia Zhi said busily.

Li Shanchang smiled, asked the two children if they insisted on practicing calligraphy at home, and asked them why they had time to come to the academy today. Xia Zhi replied that she and Little Black Fish were practicing calligraphy every day, and as for coming to the academy this time......

"It's almost the holidays, of course we have to come to visit the mountain chief." Xia Zhi said, and brought the food box over and opened it, "This is the zongzi I wrapped myself, it is a little heart, please taste it." ”

"Little Sixteen's hand-wrapped zongzi?" Li Shanchang poked his head and looked into the food box.

The rice dumplings in the summer solstice package are smaller than the usual rice dumplings, and they are neatly placed in the food box, which is delicate and beautiful. Because it was freshly fished out of the pot, it was still slightly hot.

Li Shanchang smelled the faint fragrance of zongzi.

"What smells so good?" Li Xia's clear voice sounded at the door.

Xia Zhi turned his head in a hurry, and saw Li Xia stepping into the door. The sun shone on Li Xia's face. Li Xia's sunny face made Xia Zhi's eyebrows and eyes crooked to smile again: "Li Xia! ”

Li Xia first saluted Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang squinted his eyes and looked at his son's face: "Phoenix, you're in a good mood." ”

Li Xia didn't say anything, thinking that if you didn't call me Phoenix in front of people, my mood would be even better. But this cannot be said.

"Sixteen, uncle, you are here, I was about to go to you."
