Chapter 332: Autumn Goes to Winter
Xia Qiao fell silent, a pained look on his face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xia Zhi saw it in his eyes, and then said: "In addition, Sister Crescent remembered that she was abducted and sold by a kidnapper. ā
Xia Qiao's eyes widened in surprise: "Sixteen, you mean, Sister Crescent Moon is not Sister Da Yue'er?"
"No, it's the opposite, I'm sure Sister Crescent Moon is Sister Da Yue'er. Xia Zhi shook his head slightly, "She was sick at the time, and she suffered a lot of sins and fright. It is estimated that she didn't want to admit that she was sold by her mother, so she lied to herself and said that she was abducted, and her mother was very anxious and reluctant to ...... her."
Xia Zhi told Xia Qiao his theory.
Xia Qiao hugged his head, looking even more painful.
"Brother, next time you have a chance, you can take a look. Sister Crescent Moon has a crescent birthmark on her wrist. ā
"Sixteen, you already knew. ā
"After asking my father, I'm sure. Xia Zhi told Xia Qiao, "Brother, you won't blame me for not telling you." ā
"It's not. Sixteen, if I hadn't found out for myself, you'd have told me, wouldn't you?"
"Of course, but it depends on chance. Xia Zhi nodded and said. The crescent moon thing, the person Xia Solstice didn't plan to hide the most, was Xia Qiao.
"Then now, what should we do?Sixteen, how do we recognize the eldest sister?" Xia Qiao immediately asked Xia Zhi.
"Brother, what I'm worried about now is not how to recognize Sister Crescent, what I'm worried about is whether I should recognize it. ā
"Why shouldn't you admit it?" Xia Qiao didn't understand. Since my sister has found it, everyone should recognize each other immediately.
"Our sister was not abducted and trafficked. If she wants to recognize our sister, she must know that our mother sold her, what will she do then?"
With the docile nature of the crescent, there should be no fierce performance. If the Xia family wants to recognize her, she will definitely recognize her. But that doesn't mean she won't be sad.
āā¦ā¦ It's hard enough, but fortunately, I met Jiugu, and she has had a good life over the years. Brother, don't you think it's cruel to let her know the true ~ appearance?" Xia Zhi asked Xia Qiao.
Cruel, of course.
"Then what should we do, we can't recognize our sister yet?"
Xia Zhi said that she had already recognized the crescent moon as her sister: "Brother, the piece of white jade you saw her wearing today was given to her by my uncle." ā
"Very good. Xia Qiao nodded, feeling that Xia Zhi was doing the right thing.
"It's easy to recognize Sister Crescent, but there's another thing that bothers me. Speaking of this, Xia Zhi sighed softly, "Our mother's temper is now pressed by our big guy, and she can't get the money, so she has a little peace." But if you recognize Sister Crescent......"
"Sister Crescent Moon is a first-class girl, a tael of silver a month, I heard them say that this tael of silver Sister Crescent Moon uses flowers at all, and the clothes of the four seasons are ready-made, and other things are used up by Mrs. Jiugu's leftovers, not to mention the ...... of rewards."
"Brother, if our mother knew that Sister Crescent Moon had a lot of silver and things in her hands, and she could earn one or two silver every month, what do you think our mother would do?"
Xia Qiao was even more painful. "Our mother, our mother didn't get anything from you......"
"That's me, you didn't ask me for her. I tried everything, and I ignored her. But Sister Crescent is not me. You can see it, brother, Sister Crescent Moon has a soft temperament~ soft, her heart is soft, if you let our mother coax her and listen to our mother, then we will push Sister Crescent into the fire pit......"
The summer solstice is more considered.
Not counting the previous savings of the crescent moon, his current appearance and appearance, as well as his qualifications for serving by Mrs. Jiugu's side for so many years. This is also a capital.
Xia Zhi inquired, and the girls who served before Mrs. Jiugu had a good final destination. When they reach the age and have a family, Mrs. Jiugu will be released and let the family choose a match for them, and Mrs. Jiugu will also give a small dowry of one and a half pairs. There are also Mrs. Jiugu who choose a match for her.
In the case of the crescent moon, when the time comes, Tian will be cheeky and ask the crescent moon to go home, and Mrs. Jiugu will definitely not even want to be worth silver, and she will have to accompany and send things.
Then, Tian was able to sell the crescent moon at a high price. This time, I shouldn't dare to sell it to an unbearable place, and I won't sell it as a girl again, but it is indeed very possible to sell it to a man.
For such a prospect, the summer solstice is simply unbearable.
"In this way, brother, do you still want to recognize Sister Crescent Moon back?" Xia Zhi asked Xia Qiao.
Xia Qiao couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and walked around the room.
The little black fish had already stopped writing, he looked at Xia Qiao in a circle and felt dizzy, so he called out to Xia Qiao: "Daqiao, don't turn and grind." You come up with an idea. You~ Mother like that, you should have taken care of her a long time ago!"
Xia Qiao walked back and sat down: "Uncle, do you know too?"
"Sixteen told me a long time ago. The little black fish was quite proud, "Sixteen asked me to keep it a secret, so I didn't say it." ā
"Sixteen, what do you say, I'll listen to you. This time, I recognized Sister Crescent, I, I said that I couldn't let our mother hurt her again. ā
When the crescent moon was sold, he was still young and couldn't protect his sister, but now that he has grown up, although his shoulders may still be a little immature ~ tender, but this time, he is determined to protect his sister.
"Brother, it's good if you have this determination. Xia Solstice nodded.
talked to Xia Qiao for a long time, on the one hand, for the crescent moon, and on the other hand, to let Xia Qiao rise up.
Xia Qiao's temperament, it is not possible not to force it so hard.
Sure that he could recognize the crescent moon, Xia Qiao's heart widened, and he began to think about something else. "Sixteen, do you think our sister can still remember me?"
Seven or eight-year-old Da Yue'er has already helped Tian take care of Xia Qiao.
Xia Qiao's memories of his childhood are also vague, but his sister's warm embrace is a scene that will never fade in his memory.
"Who knows, maybe I'll be able to remember it slowly. Xia Zhi smiled.
Xia Qiao was overjoyed, and he asked Xia Zhi: "Sixteen, when will you invite Sister Crescent Moon to come to the house, and I will pick her up." Do you want our dad to meet with Sister Crescent as well? ā
"Definitely, but let's not talk about it yet. Xia Solstice said.
"Hmm. Xia Qiao nodded, then sat for a while, then picked up the scroll and looked at it, working harder than usual.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xia Zhi looked at it for a while, and then asked Xia Qiao.
"I plan to study hard, and in our family's situation, as long as I can study, I will study. In case I can take the test for a show or something, even if I don't take the show test, I will do things for others and make money, and I will be able to make our sister's life better in the future. ā
"Oh. Xia Zhi glanced at Xia Qiao, "Brother, you are biased." Why aren't you doing it for me?"
Xia Qiao laughed innocently: "It's also for you, Sixteen." Brother can't speak. Well, I always feel that our sister is more pitiful, so I ......"
"I see. Tease you. Xia Zhi smiled, "But, brother, let's talk about it." In the future, our mother will find my stubble, and you will have to protect me. ā
"That's for sure. Sixteen, you can rest assured. Xia Qiao said immediately.
"Sixteen has me, no one wants to bully sixteen. The little black fish immediately said louder.
The little black fish is actually very generous, but Xia Qiao has also noticed something recently, the little black fish is okay with others, and has an emotions similar to exclusivity towards the summer solstice.
The two of them are as good as one person.
"Uncle is in tantrum with you. "Little Black Fish didn't do that to the other nephews and nieces.
"That's it. Xia Solstice and the little black fish both laughed.
The days in Fucheng fly by, and it's about to enter October in a blink of an eye. The summer solstice is busy these days. The first thing is to prepare what will be sold in the store in the future. There is another one, which is to contact the porcelain workshop under the name of Mrs. Tian. She not only handed over the box of roses ~ bud paste to this workshop, but also handed over the packaging of porcelain jars for canned fruits.
The requirements of the summer solstice are to be exquisite and beautiful, and it is not a problem for the price to be higher. Her original target consumers were those who were wealthier.
The other thing is to find a shop. Li Xia looked for a few shops one after another, but for various reasons, he didn't succeed, and finally found a two-storefront shop next to a silver building on Dongshi Street. Originally, people were only willing to rent and refuse to sell, but Li Xia and Xia Zhi also took a lot of effort to buy the shop.
Tian Qi's cotton seller has not yet returned, and the money to buy the shop is borrowed.
And the creditor is Mrs. Jiugu.
Mrs. Jiugu is a rich woman. She said that she didn't want Xia Zhi to give interest, but she wanted Xia Zhi to promise that if there was anything new in the future, she would be the first to provide her. As soon as the shop here on the summer solstice was bought, he received a big order from Mrs. Jiugu.
Rose ~ bud paste is so easy to use. Mrs. Jiugu is more extravagant, not only for lip moisturizing, so it is more expensive to use. In addition, the summer solstice also specially sent a box of crescent moons.
Then, Mrs. Jiugu's big and small girls, as well as the big and small girls of the Tian family, all knew about it, and many people tried it. Then, they asked the crescent moon and the summer solstice to buy on their behalf.
The toffee and nougat given to Tian Mi'er and Mrs. Tian also responded well. Tian Mi'er later came to see the summer solstice, and she was more reserved and expressed her love for milk balls.
The toffee is made into a candy ball by the summer solstice, and children will definitely love it.
Mrs. Tian gave the candy to the children in the family and clan, and she tasted it herself. Then Li Xia came to Xia Zhi to convey Mrs. Tian's meaning. After the children who had eaten the candy ate it all, they all found an opportunity to go to Mrs. Tian, and then looked at Tian with a blank eye.
No one dared to ask Mrs. Asada for candy.
Mrs. Tian's serious reputation is not coaxing.
However, in the end, it was a little chubby dun who called Mrs. Tian to be an uncle and grandmother, that is, the third grandmother, who told the big guy's heart.
In the face of the child who asked for candy, what else could Mrs. Tian do, so she told Li Xia.
"I told my mother, only you have that kind of candy, and you must send it to her old man's house first. Li Xia squinted and smiled, and then asked Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, I've said all the big things first." You're not going to let me do wax, are you? ā
"The toffee is all set out, you're late. "The summer solstice replied.
"No, it won't. Li Xia was shocked, "Sixteen, why should I explain to my mother when I go back." He looked at Xia Zhi's immobile appearance, and ran to hug the little black fish who was writing. "Uncle, you tell me about it. ā
Summer Solstice was amused. "Oops, I'm kidding you. If there is no one else, there must be yours. Li Xia's mother spoke, which is equivalent to giving birth ~ The mother queen has spoken. How could Xia Solstice not, at the very least, she still had to save face for Li Xia.
"But I'll have to wait a few days, Brother Yuelai is still on the way to buy me cheese from the north. Xia Zhi told Li Xia.
"That's fine, just have a hope. Li Xia smiled.
"By the way, Li Xia," Xia Zhi was busy talking to Li Xia at the same time, "You~ didn't my mother let you have less contact with me?"
"Nope. Li Xia immediately replied, "She told me not to delay my homework." ā
Xia Zhi smiled and didn't say anything.
At this time, the girl Xiaoling came in to talk to Xia Zhi, saying that Li Shanchang had sent the little girl over.
"Are you looking for Li Xiagongzi?" Xia Zhi asked.
"No, I'm here to find the girl. Xiaoling replied.
"Then let him in. "The summer solstice said.
The little guys and the long entourage around Li Shanchang are also familiar with the summer solstice now. Today is a young one, whose name is Angelica Angelica.
Bai Zhi came in and saluted Li Xia and Xia Zhi, and then told Xia Zhi: "The old man had lunch at noon, and felt that the food lacked a little taste, so he sent the little one over and asked the girl for a bowl of that beef hot sauce, if there are cucumbers and garlic eggplants in sauce, please also ask the girl to give a little, and the old man will have a good porridge to drink......
It turned out that I came to eat.
Xia Zhi smiled: "Why did the mountain chief send you here, this time and again, just come to me to eat more trouble." ā
These days, the summer solstice has not only delivered meals to the academy. It's all for Xia Xiucai, sometimes she makes a good meal, and she also asks people to send one to Li Shanchang.
Xia Zhi also invited Li Shanchang to come to the house for dinner, of course, Xia Xiucai was accompanied. She also told Li Shanchang that she can be like Xia Xiucai, come to the house for dinner at any time, anyway, it's not far away, you don't need to take a car, and strolling around before and after meals is good for your body.
Therefore, the summer solstice has such words for Angelica Angelica.
"The master wanted to come, but a few gentlemen were stumped. ā
On the summer solstice, he asked Xiaoling to get something for Banxia. Bai Zhi also begged Xia Zhi with a smile: "Ask the girl to give more." The little one estimated that those gentlemen would definitely have to stay at the master's place to eat. How much they can eat, but the girl gives less, and our lord is afraid that he will not be able to eat it. ā
"Just your flamboyant tongue!" Li Xia scolded with a smile, "What did you say about the gentlemen!"
Bai Zhi laughed more and more: "Young master, you know those gentlemen, this is not a small show of words." ā
"Go, go. Li Xia couldn't help but laugh and asked Bai Zhi to take her things and leave quickly.
After sending Bai Zhi away, Xia Zhi smiled and said to Li Xia: "Your father and you~ are quite different from each other. "How approachable Li Shanchang is.
Speaking of which, Li Xia's Niangtian didn't treat Xia Zhi coldly, she was reserved and noble, and she faintly gave Xia Zhi the feeling that she was a little rejecting thousands of miles away.
After meeting Mrs. Tian for the first time, Xia Zhi went there once.
She felt that it was okay to have Li Xia here, but if Li Xia was not there, Mrs. Tian's attitude towards her would change subtly.
It is subtle because there is no evidence. But that feeling, Xia Zhi didn't think that he would be wrong. However, Xia Zhi never complained to Li Xia.
"But they have a good relationship. Li Xia said.
Xia Zhi nodded, two people with complementary temperaments can still live more harmoniously.
"In the past, when I was outside, my father just concentrated on learning and being an official, and my mother took care of everything else. My dad is very grateful to my mother for this. ā
Li Shanchang loves and respects Mrs. Tian.
The Li family does not have a strong style of taking concubines, but there are many concubines and girls. Li Shanchang has always only had Mrs. Tian.
