Chapter 123: The Visit (3)

said that Mrs. Zhou led Xia Zhi and them through the front yard and to the backyard. Along the way, the summer solstice has a lot of it, this house is very neat and clean, but there are no pavilions, flowers, birds and fish ponds, it is an ordinary family in the ordinary courtyard, at most there is some grass in the corridor, but it has withered in this season, and there is really nothing to see.

When she heard a partially, the mother-in-law stopped and said, "Mrs. is here, Mrs. has told the old woman to lead people in directly, let's go in!" "Mrs. Zhou's words are said to the Li family, after all, the Li family is the oldest here.

"Then there is Old Sister Lao, let's go in with Old Sister to see Madame!" Lee's and so on.

"That's okay, let's go" After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she turned her head and led the Tian family into the side hall.

When she entered the hall, Mrs. Zhou was still sitting as before, with a teacup in her hand, and Mrs. Zhou saw Mrs. County Order, and immediately replied:

"Madam, the Tian family brought it, the old man of the Tian family, I let my family take it to see the master!" This week's mother-in-law is actually a slave, but because she is very dignified in front of Mrs. County, she calls herself 'I'

"Well, you go and get some tea in the kitchen, these are my guests, I want to entertain them well!" Mrs. County Ling waved her hand, and then asked Mrs. Zhou to go down to prepare tea, Mrs. County Ling had heard Ma Shang say that there were many Tian families, but she didn't expect that there were so many people, and this group of people came in, and half of the place was partial, fortunately, there were preparations before, otherwise there were so many people, and there would be no stool for people to sit down and talk. Then she would be embarrassed in front of the Tian family. This is the way it goes. She doesn't have any face.

While Mrs. County Ling and Mrs. Zhou were talking, the Tian family all lowered their heads, only Xia Zhi secretly looked up, and Mrs. County Ling, who was sitting next to the table, saw that she was about the same age as Ma Shang, but because of good maintenance, her skin was very fair, and the corners of her eyes were slightly crow's feet. If you don't look closely, you can't see it. Xia Zhi had to sigh, this person who was a few years younger than the Li family looked a full dozen years younger than the Li family, which was the best person Xia Zhi had ever seen to maintain.

When Mrs. Zhou went down, Li raised his head and was about to bow down to Mrs. County Ling, "Xiaomin has seen Mrs. But he was pulled by the county magistrate's wife.

"What do you don't see, the old sister quickly takes the children and sits down! We don't pay attention to those vulgar etiquette, I have heard our county master talk about your family, but unfortunately I haven't seen it, and I heard about you opening a store yesterday. Because I didn't prepare well before I was in a hurry, I only prepared a few light gifts. I'm really sorry not to go! Mrs. County Ling was very approachable, and her voice was just right, very pleasant, which made people listen very comfortably, and she took Li's hand and sat on the chair next to her while talking.

"You juniors should also sit, I will treat it as my own home, and those false gifts will be saved!" After the county lady pulled the Li family to sit down, she beckoned the juniors of the Tian family to sit down as well.

"There, Mrs. can still remember the opening of a small shop in her busy schedule, not only remember, but also give a big gift, it should be our Mrs. Xie Luxie, there is also a bad saying that Mrs. Xie is not right!" Li was dragged by the county lady, sat on the chair, and frowned slightly and said, there is no such reason in the world.

After that, she saw that several daughters-in-law and granddaughters did not sit down, so she wanted to stand up and introduce to the county lady, but the county lady took her hand and did not let her go, so she had to point to a person and said:

"Madam, these are my four daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law Wang, the second daughter-in-law Lin, the third daughter-in-law Liu, and the fourth daughter-in-law Zheng" After Li finished speaking, Wang's Lin and Zheng took turns to come forward to salute the county lady, and then stood aside,

"These nine are all my own granddaughters, the eldest son has two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter Lichun, the eldest; The second daughter, Chunfen, is the third, and the youngest son is stunned, the tenth, and now she is taken by his father; The second son is also two daughters, the eldest Yushui, the second in line; the second is Lixia, ranking fifth; the two daughters of the third son, the eldest Gu Yu, the fourth; the second is Xiaoman, ranking seventh; The fourth son has three daughters, the eldest Xia Zhi ranks sixth, the second Liqiu ranks eighth, and the third Bailu ranks ninth"

Every time the Li family finished talking about the children of the family, they stepped forward to greet the county magistrates in turn, and when all the people finished the salutes, the county magistrates asked everyone to sit down again, and the Tian family did not shirk, and sat directly on the stool to listen to the county magistrate and the Li family.

"It's good that the old sister doesn't dislike it, I wanted to see you before, but unfortunately you are far away in Tianjia Village, every time you come to town, I want you to come over, but I'm afraid of delaying your affairs. I'm here and there is a lot of inconvenience, so I delayed until today to meet, now you have a place to live in the town, come and walk around more in the future, my children are not around, the lord is very busy, I am very bored in this house alone! ”

Ma Shang has a total of three children, one daughter has been married, and two sons have also started a family, all of whom are with Ma Shang's parents in their hometown, so Mrs. County Ling generally has nothing else to do except deal with the women in the inner house who usually visit the county government, so she said this very sincerely, and she really wanted to invite the Tian family to come and sit more.

"It used to be far away, and it was not easy to come over, and in the future, I had to let the children walk more, as long as Mrs. didn't think they were annoying, these little leather monkeys, I have a headache at home every day!" Seeing that Mrs. Li wanted to invite the Tian family over, it was difficult to refuse, so she had to perfunctorily agree, and it could only be these children.

"I'm not afraid of children's skin, old sister, you don't know how much I envy you, my son and daughter are all around, and my children and grandchildren are full, this ordinary person doesn't have such a blessing! Old sister, I like to be lively the most, but it's a pity that the children have to accompany their grandparents in their hometowns, and the children's grandparents are difficult to leave their homeland, otherwise I would have taken them over to Chenghuan and kneel, so I envy others! Speaking of this, Mrs. County Ling looked a little worried.

But after a while, Mrs. County Ling regained her smile again, and said with a smile: "Your grandma dislikes you to make trouble, I am not afraid of making trouble, you just have to come to me in the future!" After speaking, he smiled at everyone.

The Tian family has never seen such a good-looking person, and even the voice sounds like the mountain spring water. Ding ding dong, people can't wait to listen to it all the time, swept away by the smiling eyes of the county lady, everyone lowered their heads, although Xia Zhi didn't understand what there was to bow her head to, but in order to be consistent with the sisters, she also lowered her head, anyway, she was also optimistic.

"In the future, they must not disturb Madame, and Madame can also go to the small shop to sit in the future, these children are always uneasy in the town! I'll have to take care of my wife more in the future! Lin spoke.

"That's natural, maybe I'll run over at some point, I, like these children, even if you don't say it, I will definitely take care of it, looking at these dolls, I'm happy!" Mrs. Zhilu said that Tianshang Embroidery Village was written in the names of several female babies, and at that time she also praised the Tian family for not being like an ordinary peasant family, preferring sons over daughters, and not taking female babies seriously.

"Come, come, come, come to me, I am not many years old with your grandma, you also call me grandma, you don't want to follow your grandma, you have to call me a lady, I like the junior to call me grandma!" Call me grandma, these things here were given to me a few days ago, I'm so old, I don't need these bright flowers, and I don't have a girl around me, so I'll give it to you as a meeting gift."

Mrs. County Commander summoned the sisters to the front, I don't know where Lu Dao found a box, opened it and saw that it was a silk flower one by one, very delicate and beautiful, it must be worth a lot of money! It's just that things don't say how valuable they are, but without Li's words, the Tian family's little baby naturally didn't dare to take it.

"I'm not a valuable thing, it looks exquisite, it's actually not worth a few dollars, I know that I will give you valuable things, and you don't recycle them, these things will be given to you to play, girls love beauty, hurry up and accept it!" Mrs. County Ling knew that there was no Li to speak, and they would not accept things during the summer solstice, so they explained that things were not valuable, and they did not recycle the valuable things of Zhilu Dao, so they took out this silk flower.

"Even if the lady speaks, you will each take one!" Li listened to the words of Mrs. County Ling, and knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't open his mouth, so he opened his mouth to let people accept the silk flowers. There are no more than nine silk flowers, which shows that this is specially prepared for their sisters by the county lady earlier.

"Xie Lu Xie, Grandma Ma!" A few little babies chose a silk flower, and thanked them like Mrs. County.

"This is the little summer solstice where we grow double-cropping rice and sweet potatoes!" The county magistrate saw the summer solstice holding the red pomegranate silk flower, and beckoned her to step forward, and the other sisters of the Tian family took the silk flower and obediently sat back in their original position.

"Madam, don't praise her, this little girl has an idea, she thinks of strange things all day long, even we parents don't know what she thinks!" Seeing that Xia Zhi was recruited forward, Zheng had to speak.

"How can you not boast, the county master is boasting in front of me all day long! To put it bluntly, why is there no such a granddaughter, Xiao Xia Zhi has helped our master a lot! You don't know what she thinks, it's because she's smart! Mrs. County Ling looked at Xia Solstice in front of her, who looked like a New Year's doll, and rubbed Xia Zhi's little head fondly, and Xia Zhi rolled her eyes in her heart.

In fact, Mrs. County Commander's name for the summer solstice is like thunder. She has long been looking forward to seeing this young girl, but she solves big problems for the people of the world. From the beginning of seeing the Tian family, her eyes were searching for Xia Zhi, originally the children had their heads down, and she couldn't find it, but Xia Zhi secretly looked up, but she looked at it squarely, and her purring eyes made her determine the person at once, and at this time she had the opportunity to recruit Xia Solstice forward, and a lot of it.
