A few people bought some rice noodles by the way, and Xia Li insisted on buying very expensive rouge rice, dried sea cucumbers, dried eels and other things. The Qiu family gave so much silver, and it should be better for Xiao Zhengtai. But it is not advisable to dress him too well, not to make him too noticeable.

After returning home, Xia measured Zhao Niuniu's height and feet, and said with a smile, "In the past few months, Niu'er has grown a lot taller." ”

Zhao Niuniu smiled, "Yes, my father said that Aunt Xia's food is good, and she raised me well." Then he whispered, "Let me tell you a secret, my family's debts have been paid off, and my family is now eating well." ”

As soon as she said this, she smiled crookedly.

Xia Shi and Xia Li both laughed.

Zhao Niuniu left home in the summer to eat dinner and went home for a lunch break.

When she opened the courtyard door, a woman in her forties came over and smiled, "Niu'er, you're just coming back." ”

Zhao Niuniu greeted politely, "Grandma Wang." ”

The woman smiled and said, "Niu'er went to Xia's house for dinner again?" ”

Zhao Niuniu nodded "um", the door opened, and she entered the courtyard. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was going to follow up, she hurriedly turned around and closed the courtyard door. Daddy told her to stay away from the family.

The woman pursed her lips and scolded in a low voice, "That widow, Telangta is shameless, and she has taught a good baby like this." ”

At this time, an old woman came over and beckoned, "Aunt Wang, go to Zhao's house to visit the door?" ”

Mrs. Wang smiled, "No, I just saw Niu'er coming back from Widow Xia's house after dinner, and I said a few words to her." Alas, she is the only child at home, don't be coaxed into it by people with bad intentions. ”

The old woman laughed and said, "Your heart is fine." He added, "It's been half a year since your second daughter returned to her parents' house, has the family affair been settled?" ”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Lao Cai is worried, but she hasn't done it yet." After saying that, he walked away with a huff.

Mrs. Cai also "snorted" and entered the front yard.

Her daughter-in-law smiled, "Mother was talking to Aunt Wang just now? ”

Mrs. Cai snorted coldly, "That Mrs. Wang herself has bad intentions, and she has to scold others, saying everywhere that Sister Xia does not abide by women's morals." Who doesn't know that she wants to tell the separated girl to Lord Zhao, but Lord Zhao is unwilling, and the relationship between the Zhao family and the Xia family is good, so she buries others like that......"

Her daughter-in-law smiled, "Don't say it, Lord Zhao and Sister Xia are really talented and beautiful, and they are ...... match."

In the evening of early autumn, the Yudai River next to Dongrong Street is breezy and the stream is murmuring, and the long willow embankment is covered with a layer of golden light. After dinner, Xia Li took Xia for a walk by the river.

Xia Ju was not there, and Zhao Niuniu was not there, so Xia Li pulled Xia out. She wanted to see Ye Feng, and she felt that Ye Feng would definitely send Xia Ju and Dangdang out today. Three autumns a day, now used on her and Ye Feng's bodies, it couldn't be more suitable.

The mother and daughter walked slowly, and Xia Li whispered to Xia. When he met the neighbors, Xia Li would greet him with a smile.

Xia looked at Xia Li, who was holding his arm, as beautiful and intelligent as "her", but with more clarity and flexibility, and less calmness and gentleness. Such a girl, no matter which offspring she marries in the future, in what kind of environment, she will find a way to make her life better.

Xia was suddenly full of a sense of accomplishment, feeling that this child's future should be much better than he had imagined in the past, but fortunately he did not raise her to be a delicate flower in the garden......

They circled the willow embankment twice, and the sun had all set in the west, and a dim orange light floated between the sky and the earth, and the light was even darker.

A door on the east wall of the Dusi Mansion opened, and two dogs and one bear ran out, followed by Xia Ju, and then a few men. When Ergou Yixiong and Xia Ju saw Xia's mother and daughter, they all ran to the bridge excitedly, crossed the bridge and ran towards them.

Xia Li looked at Ye Feng and Liu Changzhao and smiled, followed by Qiu Shang and Ye Jin.

Xia Shi hugged Xia Ju, who rushed over, smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and muttered in his mouth, "Don't run, I just eat, my stomach hurts......"

Qiu Shang looked at the woman, and he guessed that the woman was the young master's adoptive mother, so he looked at it twice. Suddenly, his eyes widened a little.

Like, really like! This woman looks too similar to Xia Ju, her appearance, height, and when she laughs, she is all similar. Among the four big girls of the first grandmother, Chunju, Qiu Ju, and Dong Ju all died later, and only Xia Ju was driven out of Qiu Mansion by the eldest grandmother because of her mistake. Could this woman be Xia Ju?

Qiu Shangzheng was puzzled, and noticed Xia Li beside Xia. Xia Li's gaze looked here, and his eyes swirled around Ye Feng or Liu Changzhao, and then drooped.

The two people stood together, and a picture that had been around for a long time suddenly popped out in front of Qiu Shang's eyes......

He was surprised to find that this Xia girl's familiarity and charm were not only like the little master, but also like ...... Oh my!

His heart was turbulent, his breathing couldn't help but be a little heavier, his throat and eyes gurgled and he swallowed quickly, lowered his head again, and his fists clenched and released.

He was so calm and out of shape because he was so shocked!

Qiu Shang's movement was fleeting, but he didn't hide from Ye Feng, who had a keen insight around him.

Ye Feng's heart moved. Although he was only in contact with Qiu Shang for the second time, with Qiu Shang being Qiu Jili's most trusted guard captain and absolute confidant, sending him to do such an important thing also knew that he would not be an impetuous person without a city government.

How could he have such a big reaction just now? Xia Li and Xia Ju have already met him, so this reaction should be directed at Xia's. Is there anything wrong with Xia's...... Oh, she is not only a country widow, she worked as a slave in the capital when she was young, and she also married Xiucai...... Could it be that they used to be old acquaintances? If it is an old acquaintance, why don't Qiu Shang dare to recognize each other......

Ye Feng was beating a drum in his heart, he was very calm on the surface, and he smiled at Xia Li's direction, and a few people entered the courtyard.

On the way back, Ye Feng said again, "General Qiu will stay for a few more days, and I will personally accompany you to the mountains to hunt." The difference between the mountains in the south and the mountains in the northwest is very tight. Look at the bears, can your blind bears be so smart? ”

Qiu Shang had completely calmed down at this time, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Ye, for your kindness." My adults are anxious to see the dog, and I have to go back to my life quickly. If you come again next time, the last general will definitely not be happy with the good intentions of adults. ”

Liu Changzhao was not enthusiastic about Qiu Shang at all, and he kept a wooden face. Qiu Shang is now a six-rank military attaché, but he was originally a slave of the Qiu family, and the two generations of the Qiu family's housewife were all women of the Qi family. The two women, one was the aunt of the princess of Xianduanjun, and the other was her sister.

Liu Changzhao hated the women of the Qi family the most, so he didn't have a good impression of the Qiu family.

He was very sad, it turned out that Xia Li lived in the Dusi Mansion, and he could come to meet almost every day, chat, talk about the depression in his heart, and pass the time. Now it's not good to go to her house every day, I always have to go once every four or five days, and I can't stay for a long time when I go......
