Xia Zhi'an said there: "Then I'll listen to you!" But don't you have to say thank you with anything? ”

Xia Han thought for a while and said, "Does the eldest uncle have any wishes to come true, or things to do but haven't finished, can Han'er help you do it?" ”

Xia Zhi'an didn't refuse, and said, "Then I'll punish you for reading me a few chapters of the book!" "He hadn't read another chapter in a long time.

During this time, he also remembered to read books from time to time, and he also wanted to ask Li'er and Ye'er to read, and later saw that the two of them were too busy all day to make a sound, and now they finally caught one by one to read to him, Xia Zhi'an said there: "Today is what you said yourself, then don't be lazy!"

Xia Han grinned there, "Second uncle is starting to look down on people again, what do you want to hear or do you want to do these days, Han'er will lead you there"

'Good, good; Xia Zhi'an promised to give a good word before stopping.

Xia Zhi'an saw that he had almost said a few words, so he drove a few to other rooms, and he had something to say to Xia Zhifang alone.

Xia Li wanted to listen carefully to what the two were saying, so he led a few to the next room, which was only separated by a wall from his father's room.

In this way, even if she was talking in the house, she could hear what her father and third uncle were saying in the house.

After entering it, Xia Li asked the third aunt to sit casually, and then asked people to take out a bunch of food from the kitchen.

In the past few days, after breakfast, the cook will think about a lot of snacks by herself, saying that they are for you to eat.

Because this Xia Li also said that if there are any guests, they are all his own family, so that everyone can eat whatever they want.

The cook is still the first time to see this generous owner, and she was puzzled, but after a few days of getting along, she also understood that the lady of the owner is not a kind person, and treats her subordinates like her own family.

Although the owner is generous, she is not a waste as a cook, and she did not follow Xia Li's instructions, and did not let her subordinates eat casually, but she didn't do so much every day, and let her taste it somehow, and then she took it all to Xia Li.

Xia Li couldn't reprimand such a cook, so he had to send it from her hand to a few more small servants.

Today, the cook also did a lot as she did every day, and there were many samples, and she happily took all of them when she heard that Xia Liyi was going to do so.

Xia Han showed a happy expression on his face when he saw the food, and he was not polite, he tasted everything one after another, and it was best to pick a few of his favorite big mouthfuls and eat them big.

The third lady couldn't hold back her daughter's face like this, and said there: "Han'er, haven't you eaten at home?" How did you eat so much at once."

Xia Li said there: "Third aunt, what do you say she does?" I usually can't finish it myself, but Han'er likes to eat it."

When Xia Han heard this, he took a piece of pastry and said, "Mother, look, Sister Li'er said the same thing!" Besides, what's polite to the second uncle, I haven't eaten such a delicious pastry for a long time, at my grandmother's house, her cook only makes a little bit, and a few people want to eat, sometimes I can taste a small piece of the old man, it's not enough for me to stuff my teeth, it's better to leave my sister here."

The third lady saw that her daughter was open-mouthed, and shouted there, "Han'er, what are you talking nonsense? ”

Xia Han knew that he had unconsciously said that he had opened his mouth, and he didn't make a sound, so he just lowered his head and kept eating.

Xia Ye and Xia Mo have been sitting aside since they entered this room to study knowledge, what everyone writes, what everyone writes, this artistic conception is good, that artistic conception is not bad or something, Xia Li doesn't like to listen to the two of them, but because of the words in a room, they catch up with their ears from time to time.

She endured the noise and listened carefully to the conversation between the two brothers Xia Zhi'an and Xia Zhifang next door.

He only listened to his father say first: "Zhi'an, I have ordered a letter to the emperor, and you will pass it to the emperor for me after my death."

Xia Zhifang couldn't hear the second brother talk about life and death, so he said: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about, what is life and death?"

Xia Zhi'an said there: "Third brother, you have been back for so long and you know my condition, I can't be cured, sooner or later there will be such a day, people have to face the reality, even if I don't want to be embarrassed, but there is no way"

Xia Zhifang sighed and looked at the letter in front of him: "What did you say to the emperor?" ”

Xia Zhi'an said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask him to take care of you again after I die, although the eldest brother is not very reliable, but he is always the prime minister of the court, even if the emperor does not reuse him, but it is much stronger than ordinary people, so I want to beg the emperor, for the sake of me who sold half my life for him, I can let the Xia family go when the Xia family can't turn over." ”

Xia Zhifang didn't say anything about seeing that his second brother knew his condition so well, after all, it was much better for people to face their own life and death than to go suddenly and be unprepared, so it was okay, so he had an explanation for his family, he said there:

"Second brother, you just need to tell the emperor to take care of Ye'er and Li'er, and you don't have to worry about other things."

Xia Zhi'an said there: "I don't care about Ye'er and Li'er, Li'er has become a child with ideas since her mother died, as long as Li'er is by Ye'er's side, the two of them will be fine, I can rest assured of this, now I can't let go of our Xia family, I beg the emperor After my death, the Xia family will ask the emperor to forgive me if there is anything wrong with it, even if the emperor doesn't look at my thin face, but I died because of the affairs of the court, the emperor will understand one or two, such a small request, The emperor will not refuse"

Xia Zhifang was silent when he heard this, he felt sour and uncomfortable in his heart, and it took him half a time before he called out, "Second brother, don't say it."

Xia Zhi'an said there: "You don't have to be sad, although there are some regrets about my passing, it is worth it to exchange my life for the peace of the Xia family."

After saying this, he took out a letter from his body and said: "This letter is for the second prince, you have to hand it over to him personally, remember, don't let people see it"

"Yes" Xia Zhifang looked strange, but he still had to agree.

Xia Zhi'an said there: "I will send this letter to the second prince, and I also hope that he can let go of the Xia family after he ascends the throne."

Xia Zhifang was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Second brother, why are you ......?"

Xia Zhi'an knows what the third brother is going to say? In that way: "To tell you the truth, my life this time was saved by the second prince, and if he didn't have me, I wouldn't have it a long time ago, so I also repaid him to a certain extent, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to let go of the Xia family after he succeeds to the throne, so I beg him to let the Xia family go for the sake of helping him in the past." ”

Xia Li was indignant when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that his father was at ease with their brother and sister, but he was not at ease with the Xia family, and he was still thinking about the Xia family at the last moment, and wanted to help the Xia family pave the way.
