"Li Xia, we congratulate you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish both congratulated Li Xia on winning the first place in the hospital examination.
Li Xia glanced at Li Shanchang quickly and asked Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyu'er how they knew the news so quickly. The little black fish told Li Xia that Xia Zhi specially asked Changsheng to inquire, and they all looked at the copied list.
"You came here today to congratulate Phoenix. Li Shanchang asked, with a pair of eyes smiling and saying that it was very good, and then turned his head to Li Xia and said, "People are full of hospitality, you have to entertain well." ā
Li Xia didn't say anything, he always felt that his father's words had an extraneous meaning. Of course, he will treat Xia Solstice and the little black fish well, and this does not need to be instructed by his father at all. My father's intention should be that he should try to take the first case in the hospital examination.
I really don't forget it at any time. Li Xia was a little depressed in his heart, but when he raised his eyes and saw Xia Zhi's smiling face, that depression suddenly disappeared.
"Father, this is going to give me a day off? This is the light that I borrowed from Sixteen and Uncle. Li Xia said to Li Shanchang with a smile on his face.
Li Shanchang's slightly narrowed eyes blinked almost imperceptibly, and then he smiled. "That's it, just give you a day off. It seems that if he doesn't give Li Xia a holiday, Li Xia will stay in the study and study with peace of mind.
The dark tide between father and son was turbulent, and Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish were not aware of it. Because when Li Xia came in just now, he was talking about zongzi, and Xia Zhi pointed to the zongzi in the food box and explained to Li Shanchang and Li Xia.
"I don't know which flavor of zongzi you like to eat, Li Shanchang and Li Xia, so I wrapped a few white brown, sweet and salty zongzi. Then she told Li Shanchang and Li Xia that the white thread was wrapped in the original white and brown, the red thread was wrapped in salty rice dumplings, which were breaded with pickled pork belly, which belonged to the salty and fragrant taste, which was the taste of the south side, and the yellow thread was wrapped in sweet brown, some of which were filled with dates and some of which were filled with red bean paste.
"Sixteen is ingenious. "Li Shanchang praised the summer solstice. The zongzi in the food box are small and cute, and they feel very pleasing to the eye when they look at it, and they can't bear to peel it off and eat it.
Li Shanchang asked the servant to take down the food box, and when it was noon, the zongzi could be eaten as soon as it was hot. Li Xia looked at it from the side, and glanced at his little servant. The little guy was very clever, so he followed him out.
His actions were looked at by Li Shanchang. Chief Li didn't say anything, so he asked Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer what else was going on, and then said that they would let them play casually in the academy. "Today I give Phoenix a holiday and let him accompany you. ā
Xia Zhi said that if it was convenient, she wanted to meet Xia Xiucai.
"It's natural. Li Shanchang smiled and said let Li Xia arrange it.
Li Xia nodded in agreement. Li Shanchang was busy with affairs, and Xia Zhi didn't want to disturb him too much. The three of them said goodbye and came out of Li Shanchang's courtyard.
Li Xia said that he would take Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to find Xia Xiucai. "Mr. Xia has no class now, so he should be in his own yard. Since knowing the relationship between Xia Zhi and Xia Xiucai, Li Xia quickly understood all the things about Xia Xiucai in the academy, including Xia Xiucai's class schedule.
Moreover, without the help of the little servant, he could find the courtyard where Xia Xiucai lived.
"Sixteen, I have already spoken out about the matter you entrusted me with last time. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Li Xia also lowered his voice and said to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, Li Xia was still very relieved to do things. "Li Xia, I want you to bother more. ā
"It's a small thing. Li Xia smiled, then glanced up and down at Xia Zhi again, but turned his head to talk to the little black fish, "Uncle, I wore new clothes today." ā
"Well, sixteen of her aunts made it. The little black fish replied.
"It's pretty good, where did you make it? I'll go up there next time to make clothes." Li Xia said again.
Xiao Heiyuer said the address, and said that Wang's silk village and Wang's sister-in-law's tailor shop are very good. "Sixteen wore it there, too. Li Xia, are you optimistic?"
Li Xia turned his head to look at the summer solstice again.
Summer solstice smiles.
"It's beautiful. Li Xia looked at the sky, and then looked at the summer solstice carefully.
Xia Zhi deliberately opened his arms so that Li Xia could look at his clothes more carefully. "It fits perfectly. However, Li Xia, you don't have to go outside to find a tailor to make clothes. ā
A wealthy family like the Li family has a complete ecology at home, tailors and the like, they shouldn't have to look outside at all. Could there be anything more reliable and freewheeling than the ones they raised at home?
Xia Zhi's guess is right, Li Xia's clothes don't need to be bought or made from outside at all. People who don't even need needlework at home.
But Li Xia didn't say that: "Sometimes the people at home are too busy, and they have to find outside tailors to do things." Sixteen, this color is quite called you. ā
"yes, I like the color, too. Xia Solstice laughed.
"After the rain, I have a few rulers of this color there. Summer Solstice, if you like it, I'll have someone bring it to you. Li Xia said again. The rulers in his house are different from those sold outside. That's something that money out there can't buy.
"That's not necessary. Xia Zhi smiled and waved his hand, "But Li Xia, you have a good eye." Next time, if I want to buy a ruler to make clothes, please be a staff officer. ā
Xia Zhi refused to ask for his things, which was expected by Li Xia. His words just now also came from the heart, and he didn't hold back, so he said it naturally. Xia Zhi did not accept it, although it was expected, but it was still slightly frustrated. However, he soon found the best way to get along with Xia Zhi.
"That's good. Don't you want to pay me for work?" Li Xia asked with a smile.
"Wrap the rice, give the start of the work!" the little black fish was amused and giggled first. He waved his little hand, promised very heroically, and then glanced at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi was also amused by Li Xia. "As long as the young master of Phoenix doesn't think the food is rough and the salary is small, then it's no problem. ā
"Okay, we're done. Li Xia immediately said, he also saw Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyu'er exchanging glances, so he asked tentatively, "Uncle, sixteen, do you two have something to hide from me?" He deliberately ignored Xia Zhi's phoenix.
"It's a bit of a thing, we'll talk about it in detail when we meet my dad. "The summer solstice is on the road.
The little black fish also nodded.
Li Xia guessed in his heart, but he didn't guess what it was. But Xia Zhi had something to tell him, and he was very happy, so he nodded happily and said okay.
Talking like this, the three of them walked to the door of a small courtyard.
"This is it. Li Xia said, and took the two children into the courtyard.
It's a small quadrangle. Two pomegranate trees were planted in the patio, which had already budded. Some of them are very homely, and ordinary flowers and plants are very luxuriant. The small yard is much cleaner than the farmhouse courtyard, but it also looks very kind.
Someone was doing laundry in the patio.
When Li Xia entered the courtyard, he shouted Mr. Xia to the west wing. There was no movement in the west wing, but the man who was washing the clothes looked up. He saw Li Xia at a glance, and stood up in a hurry. "It's Young Master Li here!"
Li Xia was slightly stunned, and then stepped forward with a smile: "Mr. Xia, why do you do your own laundry?"
Xia Zhi followed Li Xia's side, and at this time he also recognized that the man who was doing laundry was Xia Xiucai. It seemed that he was afraid that the laundry clothes would wet his clothes, so Xia Xiucai only wore an ordinary moon-white pants gown. He hurriedly stood up, his hands were still wet, and he seemed a little embarrassed in his smile at Li Xia.
"The clothes were dirty, and I washed them myself when I was free. Xia Xiucai said this, and asked Li Xia into the room, "How can the young master have time to come over." ā
In the end, the words were a meal, because at this time, he saw Xia Solstice and the little black fish.
Both children are dressed in new clothes, especially on the summer solstice. Xia Zhi, who wore new clothes, was very strange in Xia Xiucai's eyes. In his impression, the youngest daughter is a thin one, always wearing fat and ill-fitting clothes, because she is thin, a pair of big eyes are particularly prominent.
But the little girl in front of her is slender and pretty, and her whole body exudes a dazzling but not dazzling light, which is definitely not to be underestimated. Where is this his timid little daughter?
But the little girl in front of her is indeed the summer solstice, and there is no doubt about it.
"Sixteen, Xiaolong?" Xia Xiucai's eyes widened in surprise.
Xia Zhi called Dad, and Little Black Yuer also called Big Brother
Xia Xiucai was surprised, he had a lot to ask, but he hadn't forgotten the etiquette at least, so he invited Li Xia to the house to do it.
Xia Xiucai lived in the West Wing with others, so he first invited Li Xia to sit in the middle hall, and then hurriedly poured water to make tea. It seems that he is also very skilled in these things, but I don't know if it is because he is too surprised and nervous, so he seems to be a little stumbling.
Xia Zhi walked over and took over the work in Xia Xiucai's hand. "Dad, you go ahead and leave this to me. "Although it was the first time to come here, Xia Zhi's eyes were quick, and after a while, he quickly made tea and poured a cup for everyone. Then, too, she sat down at the table.
During this meeting, Li Xia was talking to Xia Xiucai about the house test. Seeing that Xia Zhi had done something good, Li Xia got up and retired with a very good look, saying that he had something to talk to Mr. Zhang in the east wing of the door.
This is to leave room for their father and daughter brothers to talk privately.
sent Li Xia out, and Xia Xiucai slowly walked back. Let Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish come to his house to talk. Xia Xiucai's room was very simple, except for the things provided by the academy, there was almost nothing else. Xia Xiucai's cover is placed on the kang, which is already very old.
Thinking about Xia Xiucai washing clothes outside, Xia Zhi knew that his days in the academy were very frugal.
Xia Xiucai let Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer sit on the kang, and he himself sat on the chair next to the desk.
"Xiaolong, Sixteen, how did you two get here? I also said that I would go to see you in the next two days. ā
