The post of appreciating the chrysanthemum banquet was quickly distributed to various mansions, although Xia Chuanyuan's relationship with the Ge family was stiff, but he still cared about Xia Mengning, after all, this daughter was not only smart, but also quite popular with the world.

Xia Mengning had breakfast before going to Yong'an Hall with Jiu'er to ask for peace, but now that Xie is sick and Fang's is not there, the daily invitation has become a trip to Yong'an Hall.

As soon as he walked around the corner of the garden, he bumped into Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran who were walking from the opposite side.

"Look, isn't this the third lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion who calls for wind and rain, why haven't you gone to Mei Fangyuan to serve in the past few days, but turned to Daddy?"

As soon as Xia Mengyou saw Xia Mengning, she immediately opened her mouth and laughed, these days Xia Chuanyuan has been staying in the garden every day, and the servants in the house have also followed the wind to make the rudder, complimenting her, making her so unhappy for a while, and she began to flutter when she walked.

Seeing that Xia Mengning just smiled softly, but was silent, Xia Mengyou continued: "Also, Daddy recognized right and wrong, and didn't want to be bewitched anymore, and even brought some people's status down, so there was no way, I hurried to please Daddy and get back his original favor." ”

Xia Mengning looked up at Xia Mengyou, who was chattering, and said softly: "Fourth sister's posture, she must have copied all the female rules and women's training that your father punished you for copying a few months ago, since this is the case, I have to check it, after all, it was ordered by Daddy himself," he said, and leaned his head to ask Xia Mengran behind him: "Fifth sister, did you say it?" ”

Xia Mengyou was blocked by these words, and sighed in his heart how he forgot this stubble, and even if he couldn't answer.

picked up Juan Pa and covered the corners of her mouth, Xia Mengning had no intention of arguing with her, glanced at the two of them, and then turned around and walked into Yong'an Hall.

As soon as Xia Mengning and Jiu'er entered Yong'an Hall, they saw Xia Chuanyuan sitting on the top and looking through the letterhead in their hands, and when they saw that their three daughters were here, they smiled and said: "You are here, just right, Dingxi Wangfu sent someone to send a post, and three days later it will be the annual chrysanthemum feast, and the magnates in the capital will go there, so you can also go to see the world." ”

Xia Mengning's face was pale, but Xia Mengyou was very happy, and walked to Xia Chuanyuan's side and said, "Daddy, that daughter has to make a new dress, so as not to lose face for her father." ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, and said to the little six sons beside him: "Go and tell Steward Li and ask him to find the golden tailor in the west of the city and make clothes for the three young ladies." ”

Xiao Liuzi took the order, Xia Chuanyuan looked at Xia Mengning and asked, "Is your aunt in better health?" ”

Xia Mengning Fufu: "Back to my father's words, I see that my complexion is better, and I can eat some things, and my aunt told my father by the way when I asked my daughter to ask for peace, she was fine, and I hope that my father will not mind the things of that day." ”

Xia Mengyou listened, and looked at Xia Mengning with disdain, but because of the losses he had suffered a few times before, he didn't dare to talk casually.

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, "That's very good, you go back and tell her that if you want her to relax, the child in her belly is the most important." ”

After the four of them talked, Xiao Liuzi came in: "Master, the golden tailor is invited." ”

Xia Chuanyuan waved his hand: "Go ahead, pick a few good-looking materials, it's just cold these days, it's time to make autumn and winter clothes." The three of them bowed down and followed Steward Li to the courtyard where they were meeting the guests and measured their sizes.

After measuring the size, the gold tailor here instructed his subordinates to take out the cloth he brought and put it on the table, Xia Mengyou was suddenly dazzled, and walked over happily to stroke the silk on the table, and asked with a light in his eyes: "These silks are so beautiful, are they all for us?" ”

Xia Mengran stood aside, although she despised Xia Mengyou's rude demeanor, like a mountain village woman who had never seen the world, but after all, it was a teenage daughter's family, and when she saw so many kinds of silk and satin at one time, she unconsciously walked over and stretched out her hand to touch it, you must know that when the Fang clan was in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, he had never made new clothes for these concubines according to the season, and the new materials sent to the house every year were all made by Xia Mengxi, so that in the end, The girls around Xia Mengning are wearing better materials than themselves.

"Miss Hui's words, this is the newly woven satin from Suzhou embroidery this year, using the best silk thread, just this one, it is a hundred taels of silver."

Xia Mengyou opened his mouth in surprise, the fabric of a hundred taels of silver was too luxurious, thinking of this, he turned his eyes to look at the fabric on the table, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't help but put it down.

"If the ladies have a good eye on which one, just choose it, and the small one will be written down for you, and when the clothes are ready, they will be sent to the house."

Xia Mengyou listened, and couldn't help but go crazy with joy in her heart, touching left and right, feeling that which one was good, seeing that Xia Mengran was also standing aside and slowly picking up, she couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority from the bottom of her heart, and said in an arrogant tone: "If I hadn't proposed to my father to make new clothes, where would you be able to pick up the cheap, get out of the way, I'll pick it first." ”

Xia Mengran heard this, but he lowered his head and stepped aside without saying a word.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Xia Mengran was even more proud, and slowly slid his hand on the cloth, only feeling that the tentacles were silky, and he was even more reluctant to share these materials with Xia Mengning and Xia Mengran, at the banquet three days later, if he wore clothes made of such good-looking materials, then he would definitely become the sought after by the princes and grandsons of the whole capital, and the aunt was so favored by his father these days, and he would definitely be able to marry a wishful husband in the future.

But if these materials are given to the two of them, Xia Mengran herself is not worried, she looks plain, but that damn Xia Mengning seduced the prince at a young age, if she also goes this time, she will definitely overpower herself, no, how can she be pressed by a cheap stinky girl like this.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengyou couldn't help but withdraw his hand and said with a smile: "I picked and chosen, I think these materials are very beautiful, so be it," he said, turned his head to the gold tailor waiting on the side and said, "You just make it according to my size, and after I try it on, I won't say which one I don't like." ”

Everyone didn't expect her to say such a thing, they were all stunned, and the golden tailor hunched his waist and shouted again and again: "This...... Didn't you say that you were going to make clothes for the three young ladies...... How is this good......"

Xia Mengran's eyes were already slightly angry, but this was on someone's occasion, she would never lose her temper in front of others, how could she be seen at this time with her consistent ladylike style.

Xia Mengning, who had not spoken, frowned lightly at the moment, the Ning family was arrogant, and even Xia Mengyou, who didn't know the height of the sky, was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, thinking of this, Xia Mengning's mouth pursed slightly, Jiu'er saw it, and knew that Miss's action meant that she was thinking of something bad in her heart.

"Miss......" Jiu'er softly called Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning came to her senses at this time, then changed into a smiling attitude, walked over and casually picked up two ruby red fabrics and handed them to the gold tailor, "I want these two." ”

After speaking, she turned around and left, Xia Mengyou was very angry, in her eyes, maybe Xia Mengning was still a person who called for wind and rain two months ago, and she didn't dare to offend, but now she has anything better than herself, who in the house doesn't know that it is Aunt Seven who is being favored, who is not holding herself, but this Xia Mengning still can't see the limelight clearly, and hit the muzzle.

"Stop, didn't you hear what I said, these are all mine, when they are made into clothes, I'll give them a try, and I'll pick them out for you if I don't like them."

Hearing this, Xia Mengning turned her head with a smile, "Oh? Why did the fourth sister say this, did Daddy say that these fabrics were for you? ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and gave Xiao Liuzi a look.

Xiao Liuzi immediately understood and quietly retreated, but Xia Mengyou's attention was all on Xia Mengning, and he didn't notice it at all, now seeing Xia Mengning's attitude, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart: "What I said is mine is mine, is it possible that you still want to rob it?" With an unstoppable gesture, after Xia Mengyou finished speaking, he took the two pieces of cloth back in front of his eyes, and looked at Xia Mengning provocatively.

Xia Mengning smiled softly, her eyebrows and eyes curved, "Since the fourth sister likes it so much, then I'll give it to you, sister." As he spoke, he turned to Tailor Kim and nodded, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

The gold tailor also bowed his head and waved his hand again and again.

After saying these words, Xia Mengning turned around and left, Xia Mengyou continued to appreciate the material triumphantly, completely unaware that she had fallen into someone else's trap.

After returning to Zhuzhiyuan, Xia Mengning asked Zhulian: "Can the fetal medicine for my aunt be decocted?" ”

Zhu Lian responded: "Put it on the stove and warm it, Miss is going to the fourth aunt now?" ”

Xia Mengning didn't respond, flipped through the book for a while, but he couldn't read it, he only thought about why the chrysanthemum banquet in Dingxi Wangfu, but Changsun Yun didn't come to tell himself as if the world had evaporated, in previous years, the chrysanthemum banquet was only invited to people with distinguished status, such as the Prime Minister's Mansion, all of them were brought by the Fang family to Xia Mengxi, I don't know why the strategy was changed this year, Xia Mengning thought, is there something going on, but unfortunately he can only sit here and think dryly, but he can't know one or two.

"Okay, you take the medicine, let's go together." Saying that, Xia Mengning simply cleaned up her hair, dismantled the bun tied at the back of her head, took a plain peach hairpin and pulled herself into a loose bun, casually changed into a moon-white dress and goose-yellow coat at home, and went to Mei Fangyuan with Zhulian.

Ge's body became heavier day by day, and Xia Mengning went to give her injections every day, which not only diluted the side effects of Qingguo in her body, but also helped her calm down.

After applying the needle, Xia Mengning was already in the sky when she returned to the bamboo branch garden, and when she walked through the lotus pond, Xia Mengning said: "You go back first, I want to stay here by myself for a while." ”

Zhu Lian looked at it, nodded and said, "The slave maid will go to the back and wait for the young lady." ”

Xia Mengning didn't respond, and walked to the pond with the corner of her skirt, the last time she was here, it was also at night, that time she was desperate and pressed her hope on Changsun Yun, and she was not disappointed, not only was she not killed, but she also brought down Fang's mother and daughter.

"A lonely heart moon, two lines of clear light and shadow.

Yao Zhijun has no intention, but he is a concubine.

The flowering period is separated by meaning, and they are all unexpected.

If it is relative, talk to yourself until dawn. ”

Xia Mengning lightly opened her lips, thinking leisurely, she remembered that when she came that time, it was still early spring in March, and the lotus flowers did not bloom, and after experiencing these things, it was already autumn, and the lotus flowers had already bloomed.

Looking at the bare pond under the moon, Xia Mengning didn't know why, her heart suddenly felt a lot of emotion, a poem with a heart blurted out, her soft voice floated in the quiet night, hazy with constant sorrow, the night wind blew gently, as if she had infinite pity, wanting to guard this fleeting light and shadow, and couldn't bear it to be blown away at the end of the world.
