Xia Zitang was swept over by Xia Ke's sharp eyes, his back was tight, and he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." It is...... It was the little sister who insisted on asking from Shao Yi why he didn't go to the Guan family's workshop, but was stranded on the road. ”

"......" Xia Ke and Xia Zixi glanced at each other, feeling bad...... How does this sound like a girl's brutality and coquettishness to those close to her?

This is really what Shao Yi said, he was very bad before, and he didn't talk to Xia Yanqing. It wasn't until he and Xia Zitang returned to the Terracotta Division that Xia Zitang took his neck and asked him what he said to Xia Yanqing.

That's what he told Xia Zitang. It is very misleading to say this, but even if Xia Yanqing asks him afterwards, he can explain it.

When they talk alone, they have to give a reasonable reason.

Playing with the little daughter's temper, she forced him to ask what happened on the road? Because it is not good for outsiders to see her attitude, she has to avoid people.

What a good reason, otherwise, how to explain it?

Shao Yi snickered, this is the opportunity given to him by Ah Can, if he doesn't know how to grasp it, I'm afraid God won't be able to see it.

Now it only depends on whether the father-in-law and uncle are powerful.

Xia Ke's brows were already twisted into a pimple at this time, "What did Shao Yi say?" He told Yan Qing that he thought that the widow surnamed Li was wrong, followed and sent someone to investigate? ”

"I told you." Xia Zitang looked helpless.

At this moment, Xia Ke's focus has shifted from being alone in a room with a lonely man and widow to Shao Yi telling his daughter about the strangeness of the Li family that he discovered.

Shao Yi glanced at his two sons again, and happened to look at Xia Zixi, and there were indeed deep doubts among them.

Looking at Xia Zitang again, his eyes were still clear, and there was only a little annoyance and helplessness in it, but nothing else.

"Let's go back. With the title of 'A gentleman should be cautious in his words and deeds', write a policy essay. Xia Ke said to Xia Zitang.

Xia Zitang's face immediately collapsed, and he tried to bargain: "This, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it all night today." Otherwise, I'll squat for half an hour? ”

Unexpectedly, Xia Ke actually agreed this time: "Okay, for the sake of your first-time offender this time, I will follow your wishes." If there is a next time, it will not be spared! ”

Xia Zitang was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, my son must obey his father's orders, and he will never dare to do it again in the future." As he spoke, he stepped back, for fear that Xia Ke would change his mind.

Before he could turn around, Xia Ke opened his mouth to stop him and said, "Shao Yi is keeping an eye on the matter of the Li family today, don't mention it in the future, you should not have this matter, and you will not know about any occasion." ”

Xia Zitang immediately paused, and looked at the expressions on his father and brother's faces one by one, as if there was really something in it.

But in view of the fact that he is a military general, the rectum should be, so he didn't bother much, solemnly agreed, turned around and walked out of the study, and did his homework on squatting horses.

Only Xia Ke and Xia Zixi were left in the study, and Xia Ke asked, "What do you think of what Shao Yi said?" ”

Xia Zixi's face was no longer as relaxed as when Xia Zitang was there, his expression was very solemn, and he said, "I'm afraid there is really something wrong with this Li family." Even if the ancestor of the Xiao family is really a scholar, but now the three old and weak women are mixed in the market, but they discipline the little girl so strictly, and what kind of calligraphy and painting do they still learn. If you want to send your daughter to Qinglou in the future, it's okay, if not, you must have a big plan. ”

There is no common person who teaches his daughter to be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is the reason that he wants to marry into the same poor family.

Is it to be a concubine for a powerful family? That's not right, giving your daughter to a big family as a concubine, except for the benefits you can get when you send it in, and then you will have nothing. Concubine, that's half a house slave, and she doesn't even have relatives, so isn't she raising this daughter for nothing?

Xia Ke nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, civilian home, what can support her to carry out her great scheme?" ”

Xia Zixi said: "It seems that the only way to ask Shao Yi is to ask again." Since he was able to notice the Li family, he thought there was some reason for it. As Ah Tang said, Shao Yi often has a keen sense that others don't have, which is certainly possible. But chasing the wind and catching shadows, there must always be wind to catch them. ”

"Well, it's uncertain what happened to this matter, and Tang can't be let know about it. Or you do it, just in the past two days, you ask Shao Yi to go to a safe place for a drink and ask the reason for this matter. Xia Ke said.

Xia Zitang responded, and when he thought of Xia Yanqing, he said again: "With the temperament of the little sister, since Shao Yi has already said that he will follow the Li family on the road, I am afraid that the little sister will have to ask Shao Yi about the follow-up things in the future, what should I do then?"

Also, Shao Yi can tell Ah Tang about this kind of thing, which is actually equivalent to indirectly telling his father, and then he has his heart for his little sister, it can be seen that he really wants to integrate into our family. Today, the little sister did not shy away from asking Shao Yi, is the little sister also interested in Shao Yi? ”

For this, Xia Ke already had a plan, he said: "It's late today, I'll find Yan Qing tomorrow and tell her these two things." ”

…………

Xia Yanqing realized that when he was about to fall asleep that night, he remembered to talk to Shao Yi alone in the outer courtyard, and did not speak in tandem with Shao Yi.

If the two were asked separately what they had said, wouldn't they have gone wrong?

At the same time, it was also unexpected that Xia Ke made it clear that she and Shao Yi could not meet alone, but it happened at home, and her father didn't ask her about it, which was very strange.

The next day, there was nothing to say, Xia Yanqing was still worried about the unified caliber, but there was no reason, she couldn't find Shao Yi to come to the kiln. Not to mention, even if Shao Yi comes, he will also have Xia Zitang or Xia Zixi to accompany him.

Forget it, more is better than less, wait and see. Maybe my father is busy with business, and she and Shao Yi haven't been talking for a long time, so maybe this matter will be revealed.

How do you know that when she came back from the kiln that day, as soon as she entered the door, Xia Ke's little servant stone was waiting for her in the gate, "My lord has something to do, please go to the living room to talk." ”

"Oh." Xia Yanqing responded, and then realized that Xia Ke didn't ask her to go to the study this time, but to stay in the living room.

Probably because of his weak heart, Xia Yanqing immediately thought that he was talking alone with Shao Yi yesterday, and he was waiting in the living room.

Yesterday I was busy with official business, so did you move things to today?

Outside the door of the living room, Shi politely invited Xia Yanqing and Xinxiu Xinrong in: "Auntie and grandmother, two sisters, please come in." ”

Xia Yanqing rolled her eyes, that's right, let Xinxiu and Xinrong also go in, and they were going to settle accounts with her after the autumn.

In the living room, Xia Ke sat in the main seat, Xia Yanqing was more regular than usual, and he saluted forward in a very standard manner.

Xia Ke motioned to the first chair: "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, father." Xia Yanqing was very polite.

Xia Ke looked at the two maids standing behind Xia Yanqing, and said lightly: "You two have been serving your aunt and grandmother closely, don't you understand the great defense of men and women?" Yesterday, my aunt and grandmother talked to Shao Gongzi, where are the two of you? ”

This is the first time that Xinxiu and Xinrong have been questioned by Xia Ke, plus Xia Ke has always been serious and has accumulated a lot of power at home, but now that they are being held accountable, the two of them will immediately weaken.

Anyway, he was able to move out from behind Xia Yanqing, and immediately knelt on the ground, his heart nodded his head, Xinxiu followed, and pleaded: "It's the slave's fault, I didn't accompany my aunt and grandmother, please punish the master." ”
