Li Xia personally came out to greet him. Because there were still a lot of people serving the Li family around, Li Xia couldn't say anything to Xia Zhi, so he secretly winked at Xia Zhi.

Looking at Li Xia's demeanor showing unconcealed joy, Xia Zhi knew that there was good news.

The mood of the summer solstice is also cheerful.

When they arrived at the upper room, Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian were both seated. Everyone met and exchanged a few words, and then sat down as guests.

Li Shanchang didn't talk too much nonsense, but said straight to the point that he invited Xia Xiucai and Xia Qiao to come to discuss the matter of Li Xia and Xia Zhi.

As for why he invited the summer solstice together, Li Shanchang also explained with a smile. He praised Xia Zhi as a heroine among women. Other girls' parents are in charge of their parents, but when it comes to the summer solstice, they have to change the regulations.

Special people have special treatment.

And Li Shanchang also has a subtle but not revealing sentence. Those so-called rules and clichés are actually rules and regulations set for ordinary people. Everyone acquiesces in the fact that there are people who are not within these rules.

"The two children have known each other since they were young, and they have a temper. I think these two kids are a good fit. They're not too young, so let's discuss and settle the family affair. ”

Before Li Shan's long voice fell, Li Xia secretly glanced at Xia Zhi again, and his expression was not only happy, but also a little proud.

Li Xiahuo went out to make a fuss, and the matter did not make a big fuss, but the purpose was achieved.

The summer solstice is quiet.

Since entering the house on the summer solstice, Mrs. Tian's eyes have swirled on her and Li Xia's bodies. She saw Li Xia and Xia Zhi's words and deeds in her eyes.

The summer solstice is really hard to find out the slightest bit wrong. It's all Li Xia?!

Mrs. Tian sighed secretly, what could she say. Can she say that people are on the summer solstice? She can't, and if she does, she can only say her son.

Mrs. Tian glared at Li Xia, her eyes full of hatred for iron and steel.

Li Xia was glared at by her mother. His joy has not diminished in the slightest, but his behavior has been somewhat restrained.

And Mrs. Tian waited for Li Shanchang to finish speaking, and said with a straight face: "Li Xia came back this time to take the township test." His father, my father, and the entire Li family have high expectations for him. If he loses his mind with playthings, then he will not accompany him as a descendant of the Li family. ”

Mrs. Tian slowly put forward a condition.

If Li Xia can win the first place in the township examination this time, that is, he will be the Xie Yuan of Beizhen Mansion, then the Li family will marry Li Xia and Xia Zhi in a beautiful manner.

But if Li Xia can't pass the exam to Xie Yuan, then there is no discussion, and Li Xia will have to return to the capital to study for a few more years. Li Xia and Xia Zhi's family affairs should not be mentioned.

"Mother......" Li Xia seemed to be a little surprised, and he called out to his mother in a complicated mood.

Mrs. Tian snorted coldly and ignored Li Xia at all.

Li Xia couldn't, so he turned his gaze to Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang looked at his youngest son and then at his wife, and he seemed helpless. Li Shanchang's attitude is even a tacit acquiescence to the conditions put forward by Mrs. Tian.

Li Xia looked at the summer solstice.

Although Xia Xiucai and Xia Qiao came together, and nominally they were still the ones who called the shots for Xia Zhi. But everyone present knows that the person who can really call the shots is still the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi has always been steady, and she was neither surprised nor anxious when she heard the conditions put forward by Mrs. Tian. On the contrary, Xia Zhi also smiled.

"Madame has said everything we have to say, which saves my father and my brother the trouble." Xia Zhi said such a sentence slowly.

Everyone looked surprised.

Xia Zhi gave Xia Qiao a look.

They weren't completely unprepared for their visit. Xia Solstice guessed several scenarios and made corresponding plans. Now that she had given another hint, Xia Qiao knew what to say.

"Brother Li Xia...... I had previously expressed my intention to marry my sister in front of my father and me. We thought about it, although we are a small family, but my sister is also a golden and noble, better than others. If Brother Li Xia wants to marry my sister, he must have real skills. ”

In other words, Mrs. Tian's idea of asking Li Xia to solve the yuan first and then set the summer solstice is exactly what the Xia family wants.

If Li Xia's test is not good, the Xia family and Xia Zhi still dislike him for not being able and are unwilling to marry him.

After Xia Qiao finished speaking, Xia Xiucai nodded in agreement. Before coming, Xia Zhi also instructed him.

The so-called raise your head to marry a woman, bow your head to marry a woman.

If you want to get married on the summer solstice, you have to have enough identity.

It's not that you, Mrs. Tian, are picky about all kinds of things, the Xia family and Xia Zhi are still picky about your Li family, and they are picky about Li Xia.

Li Xia smiled helplessly, he squinted at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi glanced at Li Xia coldly.

Li Xia was even more helpless, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all, but added sweetness and doting.

This summer solstice really refuses to suffer! Mrs. Tian was depressed in her heart, and then turned her head to see her youngest son looking like a nymphomaniac, and Mrs. Tian didn't want to say anything.

And so it was settled.

Although Li Shanchang stayed, they did not stay at Li's house to eat during the summer solstice.

After all, it was the two families of the family who discussed the family, and Li Shanchang and Mrs. Tian did a lot of etiquette, and they personally sent Xia Xiucai, Xia Qiao and Xia Zhi out. When they arrived outside the courtyard gate, Xia Xiucai let the two of them stay, and the two of them stopped, still letting Li Xia send the three members of the Xia family out of the second door.

Xia Qiao was very confident when he spoke in the upper room just now, and that was because he was instructed by Xia Zhi.

But in fact, Li Xia and Xia Zhi are married, and Xia Qiao himself has no conditions at all, and he can't be happy.

Although Li Xia's article is well written, who can guarantee that Li Xia will be able to win the solution of Jinke?

Out of the second door, Xia Qiao's worry came to his face. He looked at Li Xia hesitantly.

Without Xia Qiao to speak, Li Xia also knew what Xia Qiao was worried about.

"Don't worry, a solution to me, but steady." This is also telling Xia Solstice to give Xia Solstice a reassurance. Although Li Xia couldn't see that Xia Zhi needed such a reassurance.

The summer solstice is too calm.

"Li Xia, don't brag." Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xia Zhi talked to him, and Li Xia's mood became more and more bright.

"Sixteen, I have the bottom in my heart." Li Xia opened the people who served, and sent a few Xia Zhi out. He took the opportunity to say something to Xia Zhi.

"My father and my mother are already happy with our family affairs."

Xia Zhi expressed doubt with his eyes.

Li Xia explained to Xia Zhi: "Almost all the student elites in Beizhen Mansion are in Wenshan Academy, even if there are some scattered outside, it is all in my father's heart." ”

Li Shanchang not only has a bottom in his heart about this year's candidates, but also has a bottom in his heart about the examiners of this year's township examination. At the same time, Li Shanchang also knew Li Xia's level.

"My father knows that I can pass the exam this year, and my mother should know it in her heart." So why is it still brought up like this......

That's Mrs. Tian's little caution.

On the surface, it seems to be embarrassing, but in fact, it is just a small encouragement, and then it is a step for Mrs. Tian. After all, she was so opposed to Li Xia and Xia Zhi being together before.

"Sixteen, you understand, right?" After Li Xia finished explaining, he seemed to be afraid that Xia Zhi would be angry, so he asked Xia Zhi so carefully.

Xia Xiucai and Xia Qiao next to him were a little overwhelmed. They felt that Li Xia was too careful about Xia Zhi's attitude.

Is this that Xia Zhi is too powerful, and he usually bullies Li Xia and is afraid?

Xia Zhi also felt that Li Xia was a little exaggerated, and then Xia Xiucai and Xia Qiao's thoughts were also clearly written on their faces.

Xia Zhi felt that Li Xia was really cunning. The two haven't decided to marry yet, so Li Xia has gathered her family. Xia Zhi didn't have to think about it, she knew that if the two had any disputes in the future, these people with the same surname as her would have to face Li Xia nine times out of ten.

Thinking like this, Xia Zhi didn't bother to answer Li Xia, she just snorted from her nose.

"Sixteen, you didn't suffer either." Li Xia smiled helplessly again.

In the final analysis, he is the one who is embarrassed and disliked.

"Sixteen is a hurry. She is a girl's family, let's hire a girl, we can't help but be reserved. Brother Li Xia, what is the solution to the yuan. It's okay to have you as a person, and it's nothing if you can't rely on it. Xia Qiao said to Li Xia very sincerely.

This is to reveal the bottom to Li Xia.

Summer solstice stares at the summer bridge.

Xia Qiao realized it later. But he didn't regret it, he just smiled innocently. Xia Zhi is naturally his sister-in-law, but Li Xia is not an outsider. He had long regarded Li Xia as a brother.

And Li Xia's status is still higher than that of his brother, because he is also a teacher.

“…… Just do your best, don't feel pressure. What is the test like? More on that later. "Anyway, they decided they wanted to be together, so there was always a way.

Moreover, Xia Zhi believed what Li Xia said.

Mrs. Tian's so-called temporary request should actually be well thought out. Li Xia can be admitted to Xie Yuan, and he can also let Mrs. Tian untie the knot.

It's a great joy for all. Although Mrs. Tian is unwilling, they also want to be together. But Mrs. Tian can accept it from the bottom of her heart, and everyone is the best.

……

Li Xia wanted to participate in the township test, but Xia Zhi didn't let him always come to Ninghuatang. At the same time, he also kept Xia Qiao and Sun Lan'er, and asked Xia Qiao to see Li Xia every day.

Xia Qiao is also a scholar, and some favors can help Li Xia, much better than Li Xia's scholar. At the same time, Xia Qiao can also learn some things, including experience.

The summer solstice is still busy with its own business.

Li Xia couldn't come to Ninghuatang, but Tian Kuo came as usual. When he arrived at Ninghua Hall, he said hello to Xia Zhi.

"I don't know if I can do it." Xia Zhi said and asked Tian Kuo, "Why do you have time to come over and don't have to study at home?" ”

Although Tian Kuo has intervened in the family business, he has not let go of his studies. Although the Tian family is different from the Li family, the first choice for the children is the path of the imperial examination.

For example, Tian Kuo, even if he can't try to be an official in the future, but he has the title of lifting people, which is also very noble and useful.

Even if you don't become an official, you can usually write a few words, write poems or articles, and you can be called a celebrity.

As for saying that businessmen cannot be officials, and officials cannot do business. Tian Kuo is naturally the person behind the scenes, and those buying and selling businesses are nominally under the names of some stewards of the Tian family.

This is something that everyone knows by heart, and it is not a problem at all.

Tian Kuo said that he also wanted to study, but Tian Jiadi's requirements were not as high as the Li family's requirements for Li Xia.

It is good that Tian Kuo was admitted to the township test this time, but there is no problem if he can't pass the test.

"I can't always hold a book and read it, that won't spoil me." Tian Kuo took the time to watch the summer solstice.

"Sixteen, my fourth aunt has been invincible all these years, and she has been defeated by you." Tian Kuo's words had some elements of ridicule in them.

Xia Zhi smiled slightly: "Okay, you dare to say this about your fourth aunt." I don't know how her old man would clean you up if she knew. ”

Tian Kuo originally ridiculed the summer solstice, but was given an army by the summer solstice. He hurriedly gave up his hand to forgiveness.

"Sixteen, lift up your noble hand. …… I'm also happy for you and Li Xia. ”

Xia Zhi smiled, and didn't think carefully about Tian Kuo. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Tian Kuo and the Li family's five mothers, there would definitely be more obstacles to her and Li Xia's affairs.

"I heard that the day of you and Wu Niang has been decided."

"It's settled." The day when Tian Kuo and the five mothers of the Li family got married was set for August 12.

This is just before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and on this day, the list of township exams should have been issued.

The Tian family has the intention of double happiness.

Tian Kuo said: "At that time, Li Xia was the solution to the yuan, and if you set the family affairs, my relatives will be even more festive." ”

Tian Kuo also said that it would be a double happiness, but one of the joys was not that he was admitted to the exam, but that Li Xiazhong Xie Yuan and Xia Zhi were married.

This friendship, Xia Zhi can't refuse. "Accept your good words."

Then the two of them talked again, Tian Kuo wanted to talk several times and stopped, and finally until he left, he didn't seem to ask what he wanted to ask.

"What does Tian Kuo want to ask me?" When Tian Kuo left, Xia Solstice pondered instead.

She and Tian Kuo also have a friendship that they don't talk about. Just now, Tian Kuo had been asking Li Xia about all kinds of things in the capital.

Tian Kuo couldn't ask Li Xia about these things in person, but he came to ask her from afar.

Li Xia has been in the capital for the past few years, and He Bing'er is married in the Shangshu Mansion in the capital.

Xia Zhi finally knew what Tian Kuo wanted to ask but didn't ask.

Tian Kuo wanted to ask for He Bing'er's news.

After He Bing'er got married, she did not break off the relationship with the Li family and the Tian family in Beizhen Mansion, but it was just a three-section letter and a festival, which was decent, and there was nothing else.

Tian Kuo wanted to know what He Bing'er's life would be like after she got married.

But Li Xia never mentioned He Bing'er at all. When Xia Zhi and Li Xia were together, they had a lot to say, but Xia Zhi couldn't think of He Bing'er at all.

Tian Kuo: This is ...... Can't completely let go of He Bing'er? Although he is about to get married.

How is He Bing'er?

Since Li Xia didn't mention it, He Bing'er shouldn't have any major events of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Xia Zhi made up her mind, as long as Tian Kuo didn't ask clearly, she would never take the initiative to say.

The day of the township test has arrived.
