Chapter 302: Old Acquaintances
Xia Li introduced Xia Erni to Zeng Qingqing again.
Zeng Qingqing said with a smile, "Sister Xia is younger than me, so tall, so envious." β
Xia Erni is now as tall as Xia Li, she blushed embarrassedly, she doesn't want to grow so tall, okay.
Several people entered the house to salute Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. Zeng.
Mrs. Xia pulled Xia Li to sit down beside her, and praised her for a long time how handsome she was, but she wisely didn't mention that Xia Li had cooked for them.
After that, Lord Zeng and others accompanied Ye Feng and Xia Ju, and Xia Ju kowtowed to the old lady and Mrs. Zeng. The two middle-aged and elderly women pulled Xia Ju and felt a lot of pity, they all knew Xia Ju's life experience.
After eating here, Xia Li and Erni lived in Zeng Qingqing's yard, Ye Feng and Xia Ju went to Liu Changzhao's yard, and the two dogs, bears and birds were already there. Zeng Lizhang wanted to get along with Xiong Xiang more, and for the reason that he wanted to accompany Xia Ju, he rested there.
The next day, Ye Feng was so busy that he barely showed up. Xia Li, Xia Ju and Erni were accompanied by Zeng Qingqing and Zeng Lizhang to play on the street and bought a lot of Xiangjiang specialties. At noon, I also ate at Yixiang Restaurant, and specially ordered the dish of Mao Xuewang.
When I was shopping in the ink studio in the next morning, I actually met an old acquaintance, the genius child Li Xiuwen, and now he has grown into a beautiful son. He was wearing a half-worn bamboo blue robe and a square scarf, and when he walked out of the ink studio with his head bowed, Xia Li recognized him at a glance.
Xia Li stopped and greeted, "Young Master Li." β
Li Xiuwen looked at a group of female dependents in front of him, lowered his head and looked at him, but heard someone calling him. When I looked up, it was Xia Li and Xia Ju, who had not seen each other for a long time, and they were also happy.
Although he has a lot of opinions about the Xia family, he still has a very good impression of Xia Shan and Xia Li's family. He smiled and said, "Mrs. Ye, Xiao Gongzi Xia, what a coincidence." β
The news of Xia Li's marriage to the bandit hero Ye Feng has spread all over his hometown, and he also knows it.
Such a formal title made Xia Li a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Qiao." β
Xia Ju also hugged his fists and said in an old way, "Brother Li, seeing each other here is really a hometown acquaintance." β
Li Xiuwen smiled and said, "It's extreme, it's extreme." β
Xia Li asked again, "Are the master and master okay?" I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to say goodbye to them. β
Li Xiuwen smiled, "It's okay." It's hard for you to think about it, and often piggyback on them with gifts. β
Xia Li wanted to know Li Xiumin's current situation the most, and asked again, "Sister Min, I haven't seen her for a long time, is it okay to marry her husband's family?" β
Li Xiuwen's face sank, and he wanted to speak again and again, as if there was something unspeakable.
Xia Li said, "Is Sister Min in trouble?" If so, tell me that maybe I can help. β
Li Xiuwen sighed deeply and said, "My sister's life is hard, and a month before she got married, her fiancΓ© suddenly fell ill and died, and she didn't get married. β
Xia Li was taken aback, why hadn't she heard anyone talk about it. When Xia Shan returned to his hometown last year, he also went to visit Li Xiucai and his wife, and they didn't say anything.
Exclaimed, "How can this be? We don't know. β
Li Xiuwen said again, "This is a long story. The family was unreasonable and wanted my sister to marry into his family to watch the widow, but my grandfather and my father did not agree, so his family went to my grandfather's house twice in three days to make a big fuss. We wanted to take my sister home and tell her about family affairs in the future, but my sister said that she didn't want to come back. She was afraid that the family would come to my house to make trouble again, and felt that the incident had already made my father criticized, and she didn't want to affect my father's reputation and my future...... Alas, I was useless and didn't help my sister. β
Li Xiumin's life is hard enough, and she has encountered so many bad things in the past two years. Xia Li couldn't help but complain a little about Li Xiucai and his wife, they were too pedantic, why didn't they tell Xia Shan about this?
sighed, "Sister Min is so pitiful, all kinds of unlucky things have happened." We don't even know about it. My third uncle has always thought about her, and he still doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law. That person died of illness, why didn't he tell my third uncle...... "My third uncle knows about it, and he will definitely marry Sister Min."
She didn't say the last sentence. The ancients were superstitious and had an unswerving belief in Kezi and Kefu. She believes that even if Xia Shan thinks that Li Xiumin Kefu, he is willing to marry. However, the weight of these words was too heavy, and she couldn't say it for Xia Shan.
Li Xiuwen shook his head and said, "Our family knows that General Xia Xiao is benevolent and righteous, and my sister is not blessed." Now my sister is so discredited by the family that she doesn't even want to marry a widower with better conditions. General Xia has a good future, and my father and mother don't want to tell him and make him sad. Then he hated and said, "My sister is not a husband, it is that person who has a short life, but she is blamed for the crime." β
Xia Li couldn't help but admire, this family is all good people, and he never thought of marrying his daughter to him again by relying on Xia Shan's old love. said, "I don't believe in any nonsense about Kefu and Kefu, that's a lie." He said regretfully, "It's a pity, my third uncle just left Hanjiang Mansion by boat to go to the capital the day before yesterday, which is really a mistake." β
Li Xiuwen said secretly, even if he saw it, he knew, what could he do. He believed that Xia Shan was infatuated and infatuated with his sister in the past, but now Xia Shan has a good future, and his sister is in such a situation......
The two talked for a while, and Xia Ju and Zeng Lizhang bought their things before leaving.
Sitting in the car, Zeng Qingqing gossiped and asked, "Cousin-in-law, what did your third uncle have with that son's sister?" β
Xia Li probably talked about Xia Shan and Li Xiumin.
Zeng Qingqing's eyes turned red when he heard this, and said, "This is like a story in the book, so a pair of lovers who match each other are separated." β
Xia Li joked, "You and Liu Gongzi are also a pair of lovers, and you are much luckier than them." β
Zeng Qingqing blushed, smiled and nodded his head.
The next day, the Zeng family invited the family members of Lord Yu, Mr. Lu, and Lord He, who were close to Ye Feng, and played for a day.
Early in the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Feng took Xia Li and others to the boat and waved goodbye to the people on the shore.
This time he rented two large boats, one for the master and his personal men, guards, and belongings, and the other for private soldiers and some rough men, and horses.
Their big ship has two floors, and the master is on the second floor. Ye Feng and Xia Li are in one room, Xia Erni is in one room with a little girl, and Hua Mama is in one room with Xia Ju. Mama Hua is a good person and knows how to be flexible, Xia Li asked her to serve Xia Ju specifically.
There are also a few caring subordinates who live on the second floor, and everyone else lives on the first floor.
It's already cold on the river, and it gets colder the further north you go. Even if there is a charcoal basin burning in the cabin, Xia Li is always holding a small charcoal stove.
Xia Ju, Ye Xiaobo and a few other children jumped up and down with Ergou and Yixiong, happy and happy, but they didn't feel cold at all.
