At this time, Hong'er walked over quickly with a plate of fruit in her hand, looked around and whispered: "I went to the kitchen to get fruit just now, and I heard that something happened in the old lady's house." ”

Xia Chen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" She didn't want the backer she had just found to fall down, and besides, she could feel that this grandmother really loved her, and for her, who had always longed for family affection, even a little bit was precious.

Hong'er spoke in detail, a little girl like her, her life is boring and boring on weekdays, and when she encounters something special, she will dig out a foundation.

Xia Chen was a little surprised when he heard this, and at the same time, he also admired Xia Jinghua a little - looking for death, what a lot of courage.

Yueniang asked Hong'er: "But I heard that the eldest lady is injured?" ”

Hong'er said: "I almost died, and I'm still unconscious." ”

Yueniang looked at Xia Chen: "Do we want to go over and have a look?" ”

Xia Chen thought for a while: "It's going to be a mess in the past, and if no one says it, I just don't want us to know, and it's useless if Sister Jinghua doesn't wake up, let's talk about it later." ”

"Hmm." Yueniang nodded.

Hong'er said: "The third young master is very thoughtful. ”

Xia Chen said: "Actually, I'm afraid of seeing blood. "The slaves and maids are the fastest, and she must not say anything in front of Hong'er and them.

Hong'er chuckled: "So that's the case." By the way, the third young master's son is going to study tomorrow, and when the third young master learns to write, can he teach Hong'er to write his name? ”

Xia Chen patted his chest: "No problem, tomorrow I will ask my husband to teach me to write the word Hong'er." ”

Lu'er said: "The slave also wants to learn to write names. ”

Xia Chen had a bitter face: "If you don't want to learn, you have to learn, but if you want to learn, you can't." ”

"What are you going to learn?" As soon as Xia Yarong entered the hospital, she heard Xia Chen's sigh and asked with a smile.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Sister Yarong." Chen'er is worried about going to the official school. ”

Xia Yarong was a little puzzled: "How can Mr. teach Chen'er how to learn, what are you worried about?" ”

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows: "Chen'er just doesn't want to study." ”

"Huh? It's so good to read, sister, I can't go if I want to. ”

Xia Chen said: "So if you don't want to learn, you have to learn." If you want to learn, you can't go. ”

Xia Yarong said with a smile: "It turns out that Chen'er just said reading. ”

Yueniang reminded: "The wind is a little cold, please come in and sit in the house." ”

Xia Chen suddenly said: "Oh, it's Chen'er who is rude, Sister Yarong, please." He made an exaggerated "please" gesture.

"You! So naughty. Xia Yarong said and took Xia Chen's hand and entered the house.

Hong'er put on the fruit refreshments and stepped aside.

Xia Yarong smiled and said, "I heard that Chen'er went out for a walk, are you having a good time?" ”

Xia Chen sat on the chair and shook his little feet: "Of course I'm happy." Anyang City is really big, I've only walked a few streets today, and Chen'er still wants to go to the Imperial City to visit. It's just a pity that there is not enough time. ”

Xia Yarong opened her eyes wide: "Imperial City? Shall we go in there? ”

Xia Chen sighed in disappointment: "I wasn't allowed to enter, but even if I let in, I don't know when I was free." ”

Xia Yarong's beautiful eyes flowed: "If Chen'er wins the champion, you can go to the imperial city." ”

Xia Chen snorted lightly: "Sister Yarong, don't coax me." I heard the third uncle say that the champion is very difficult to test. Forget it. By the way, did Sister Yarong make new clothes for Chen'er? ”

Xia Yarong was stunned for a moment and sneered: "How can it be so fast!" Is it that if my sister doesn't make clothes for Chen'er, Chen'er won't welcome my sister? ”

Xia Chen touched his nose: "How could it be!" Except for Sister Yarong, none of the other brothers and sisters have come to play with Chen'er. By the way, Sister Yarong, have you ever read a book? ”

"I don't read much."

"Is the official school fun?"

Xia Yarong said: "Women are not allowed to enter the official school, and the private school is not for ordinary girls, I learned some words from my aunt who teaches Lile." ”

Xia Chen nodded, and once again felt that he was dressed up as a man correctly, otherwise he could only be like these young ladies. Embroider at home until you get married.

"Sister Yarong. I just heard that Sister Jinghua is getting married, so it will be very lively when you hold a wedding banquet, right? "If you want to pretend to be stupid, let's pretend together, since Xia Yarong hasn't said a word, she shouldn't have heard of it.

Xia Yarong sighed: "What's the excitement!" It's just that he came to the sedan chair and carried the person away. ”

Xia Chen looked puzzled: "How can it not be lively?" In the countryside, but when someone has a happy event, the neighbors will go, and the grandfather will drive the eight trailers to pick up the bride, why is Anyang City different? ”

Xia Yarong said with a smile: "Chen'er, don't ask more, you will slowly understand." ”

Take your time to understand! Xia Feiyang came to this set, and Xia Yarong also came. But when it comes to this, she can better understand why Xia Jinghua reacted so strongly, this marriage is not only a matter of happiness, but also a matter of face, otherwise Xia Jinghua has no sweetheart, and Yan Dagongzi is not unbearable to the point of being very strict, why not seek death, this rather arrogant Miss Xia wants to marry Ming Media.

Xia Yarong asked Xia Chen what the countryside was like, and Xia Chen replied indiscriminately, gradually having another view of her. She and Xia Jinghua have lived together since they were children, and they live in the same yard, why is Xia Jinghua seriously injured now, she can still talk and laugh here, even if she doesn't want to let herself know, this is too much.

At this time, Cao's mother came in and said, "Third young master, Yu'er just came over and said that there is no need to go to the old lady to say goodbye before dinner." ”

Xia Chen said: "Don't you have to say goodbye? Isn't grandmother uncomfortable? ”

Mother Cao said: "Third Young Master don't worry, this is also common." ”

Xia Yarong got up and said, "It's almost dinner, I'll go back first." ”

"Sister Yarong, walk slowly."

After dinner, Xia Chen returned to her bedroom, took a nap and practiced Tai Chi, in order to avoid being heard, she could only practice this for the time being, but with her current physical condition, it was most appropriate to practice this. After beating twice, she couldn't calm down, so she had to take a step.

There are no impermeable walls. If you want to move freely in this courtyard, you have to find a way, and those two girls are straightforward and easier to deal with. Let them realize their future status, and give them some benefits and respect, and they will die for themselves.

But Cao's mother was a little troublesome, Hong'er said that the maid ring around Sun's side came in the morning, because Xia Chen and Yueniang were not there, so Cao's mother followed Sun's place, but I didn't know what was going on. Since Cao's mother didn't mention a word. Either it has nothing to do with you, or you just can't say it to yourself, either way. all show that Cao's mother may be a member of the Sun family.

And she found that the class friendship between slaves and maids could be used, and in just two days, Yueniang and Lu'er Hong'er had nothing to talk about, but they were extremely cautious in front of them. Thinking of this, she said to Yueniang, who was sitting at the table embroidering a handkerchief according to the pattern: "Yueniang." Ming'er, you give three taels of silver to the steward in charge of purchasing in the house. Let him buy more melon seeds, snacks and the like. ”

Yueniang stopped and looked at her suspiciously: "If Chen'er wants to eat these things, can't you just ask Hong'er and them to go to the kitchen to get them at any time?" ”

Xia Chen said: "It's not me who eats, and you have to quietly tell the steward that you want to eat." ”

Yueniang smiled: "What are you thinking again?" ”

Xia Chen said: "This is for the mothers and slaves in other yards, and you will go to the kitchen in person in the future." I want you to get on good terms with them, preferably by bribing both, so that we don't become deaf and blind, and we don't get too passive in any situation. ”

Yueniang simply put the handkerchief in the embroidery basket: "Chen'er is right, I will bring some melon seeds and snacks on my body at any time when I go back." And go out more often, and meet people who like to talk and are greedy. Just get acquainted. ”

Xia Chen nodded, and then stepped forward to hold Yueniang's hand: "I know that Yueniang doesn't like to do such things, it's hard." ”

Yueniang patted her hand: "Don't say such things, it's good to be able to help Chen'er." Besides, it's nothing, I wanted to inquire about the outside news, what kind of people haven't been dealt with, you can rest assured. By the way, Chen'er, what do you want to inquire about the most? ”

Xia Chen said: "I want to know what kind of person Xia Feiyang was before, and when did he start getting drunk at every turn, I don't think he looks like a person who can't do without wine." The other is the situation of Xia Huaiyong and Xia Huaiying's study, and whether there have been any conflicts between several young masters and ladies of the Xia family. ”

Yueniang was a little surprised: "I thought you would want to inquire about Xia Zhongyang and the Qian family, if there will be any unfavorable actions for you." ”

Xia Chen smiled: "They must have thoughts, but they won't touch me now, and they will do everything possible to treat me well, until everyone thinks they won't harm me." ”

Yueniang stared at her: "I didn't even think of this, I really don't know where you have so much thought." ”

Xia Chen said: "I read it in the book, 'If you want to take it, you must first take it', everyone knows that I am the grandson of the Xia family, if something happens to me, who will be the first to be suspected?" Xia Zhongyang has a bit of a brain, so he will wait until the trick is enough, and he may have prepared the afterplay - the cat cries and the fake mercy. ”

Yueniang's face turned a little pale: "Chen'er, don't say it again, I'm scared when I hear it." She didn't notice that it wasn't these words that sent chills in her heart, but Xia Chen's tone and expression, which were too inappropriate for Xia Chen's age.

Xia Chen said: "Don't be afraid, it's okay for half a year." Moreover, they all thought that I was illiterate and would not threaten their son's future. ”

Yueniang frowned: "But in less than a month and a half, it's the scientific exam, aren't you allowed to prepare for the exam?" ”

Xia Chen smiled slyly: "The exam must be examined, and there are two results, one is that I have passed the exam, so we will go back to my grandmother's house, and the other is that I have not taken the exam, and everyone has not taken the exam, and the days are as follows." ”

Yueniang didn't understand a little, no one could say anything about the exam, she didn't understand why Xia Chen didn't say the third possibility, that is, Xia Huaiyong or Xia Huaiying had passed the exam. As soon as I wanted to ask, I heard Lu'er say outside: "Third young master, Mother Zhang is here." ”

Xia Chen lay on the bed and pretended to rest, and motioned for Yueniang to open the door.

"Mother Zhang, is there something wrong so late? Chen'er fell asleep. ”

Zhang's mother said, "The eldest lady asked me to invite the third young master to come over." ”

Xia Chen sat up lazily: "I haven't fallen asleep yet, my aunt has something to do with me?" (To be continued......)
