"Get up!" Xia Mengning pulled her up and took out a jade Buddha tied with a red rope from the bottom of her jewelry box, "This jade Buddha was opened in front of the Buddha, I put it on for you, I hope it can bring you good luck in the future." ”

The gentle and gentle words made Jiu'er's eyes red, no one in her life had ever been so good to her except her mother, Xia Mengning took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Don't cry, since you want to take revenge, you naturally have to be strong first." ”

Jiu'er nodded, Xia Mengning looked at her, "You go down first, you can also take this hairpin first, don't show your feet, and tell me when the situation comes." "Yes!" Jiu'er lowered her head and retreated.

Xia Mengning was immersed in Jiu'er's affairs, and she didn't even notice that Zhulian had returned.

"Miss, Miss......"

Xia Mengning came back to her senses, and Zhu Lian was standing in front of her with a suspicious expression, "What is Miss thinking like this, the slaves and maids have been shouting to you for a while." ”

Xia Mengning shook her head, "It's nothing, has the matter been done?" ”

Zhu Lian happily took out a silver ticket and a heavy purse from her sleeve and handed it to her, "The bracelet and hairpin are a total of seven hundred taels, and the purse is one hundred taels of silver, and the silver ticket has also been exchanged for HSBC money according to what the young lady said." ”

Xia Mengning looked at it carefully, put the silver ticket in the box at the head of the bed and put it away, and locked it carefully, but the purse was put on the dresser, Zhu Lian asked in a low voice: "Miss, the slave maid came in from the courtyard just now, and saw how the eyes of the sweeping girl Jiu'er were red." ”

Xia Mengning told Zhu Lian what happened, but cleverly concealed the part of Jiu'er being defiled by the eldest young master, Zhu Lian sighed after hearing it, "This Jiu'er is really miserable, but fortunately, she is still clever, and the young lady will have one more loyal girl in the future." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, looked at it and saw that it was close to evening, and said to Zhu Lian: "You go to the kitchen to see if dinner is ready, just say that the hibiscus chicken I ate at noon tastes very good, and send another plate." ”

Zhu Lian was a little surprised, the rest of the meal at noon Miss was rewarded to herself, the hibiscus chicken obviously didn't move much, but when she heard Miss tell herself, she still nodded and walked out.

Xia Mengning sat on the edge of the bed, and through the moon-yellow gauze tent in front of the window, she could see that Jiu'er was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard, and her thin body was bent into a rather poignant arc, Xia Mengning looked at it, and felt a little sad in her heart.

Soon, Zhu Lian walked in with a food box, but her face was smiling, "Miss, I just met Mother Xin on the way back from the big kitchen, she was ordered by the old lady to come and ask you to go to the front hall to eat." ”

Xia Mengning raised her head, "Oh? What else did Xin's mother say? ”

Zhu Lian put down the food box and thought about it, "Mother Xin said to let Miss dress decently and not be too plain." After speaking, he wondered to himself, "It's just to go to the front hall for a meal, why don't you let me wear plain clothes?" ”

Xia Mengning stood up and smiled, "That's Mother Xin reminding me that I have a guest today, and I have always disliked gorgeousness, so Mother Xin said this, dress up well, so as not to be seen as a joke in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Zhu Lian was surprised, "There are guests? ”

Xia Mengning walked over and opened the food box to take a look, there were still four dishes and one soup inside, so she said to Zhulian: "Go outside and call Jiu'er in." ”

Zhu Lian already knew about Jiu'er, so she immediately went out and called her in.

Jiu'er seemed to be a little flustered, Xia Mengning smiled and said: "Look at your thinness, I tasted this hibiscus chicken at noon tonight, and I will reward you in the evening, you can eat, don't be so skinny." ”

Although it was a slightly reproachful tone, Jiu'er's eyes were red, "Thank you, Miss San, thank you, Miss San." ”

"I'm going to the front hall for dinner, you go first, the yard is very clean, you don't need to clean it, you go to the room to rest." Jiu'er shook her head with the plate, "Miss went out, what if there is no one to guard the yard, the slave and maid are watching at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Miss and Sister Zhulian to come back." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, but Zhulian on the side was a little moved, walked up and patted Jiu'er's hand and said, "Okay Jiu'er, then you go eat first, I'll serve the young lady to dress up and then leave." ”

Jiu'er looked at Xia Mengning, and saw that the latter smiled at her and nodded, so she thanked her again and bowed her head and walked out.

Xia Mengning sat in front of the dresser, Zhu Lian was carefully combing her hair bun, Xia Mengning looked at it and twisted her eyebrows and said, "Don't be too cumbersome, comb a meniscus bun, just bring two hairpins." ”

Zhu Lian lightly pulled up her hair bun, spread out the hair behind her, and put on a yellow glazed blue and white hairpin for Xia Mengning, and put on a set of blue and white roller earrings, Zhu Lian looked at the people in the mirror and smiled, "Miss was born extremely beautiful, and such a dress makes people can't take their eyes off it." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "Honey mouth!" ”

I was very happy in my heart, today's guest must be extraordinary, this Fang clan naturally wanted to bring her baby daughter to attend, I was afraid that others would steal the limelight of her baby daughter, but she was not as good as she wanted, isn't she the most precious Xia Mengxi's good reputation, and today she will definitely tear her to pieces.

"Let's go." Xia Mengning said to Zhulian, and the two walked out of the door, Jiu'er was eating in the room while looking out, and when she saw the two coming out, she immediately wiped her mouth and walked out, Zhulian smiled at her, "There is Sister Lao Jiu'er." ”

Jiu'er nodded hurriedly, Xia Mengning and Zhulian walked away, and when they turned to look, they saw that Jiu'er was still standing at the gate of the courtyard like a guard.

Zhu Lian sighed: "This Jiu'er is a real person, when she sees her slave maid, she thinks of the slave's sister, if she doesn't get sick and dies, I'm afraid it will be so big." ”

Xia Mengning lowered her eyes, Zhulian helped her all the way to the front hall, the mother-in-law at the door had already seen them, and hurriedly walked over to salute, "The third lady is here, the old lady is waiting for you inside." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, gave Zhu Lian a look, and Zhu Lian on the side immediately took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve and put it in the mother-in-law's hand, the mother-in-law secretly pinched it, and smiled so that her face was full of wrinkles, "Third Miss, be careful of the threshold, the eldest lady is talking to her sister-in-law inside." ”

Sister-in-law? Xia Mengning thought slightly, it was the wife of the general of the Zhenguo, this Fang clan, who couldn't wait.

Nodding and smiling, he understood what the woman said to herself.

Walking into the house, I first heard someone talking eagerly, several female voices came, Xia Mengning walked in, and the maid on the side immediately spoke, "Old lady, the third lady is here." ”

Lifting the curtain, Xia Mengning lowered her head and walked in, bowing down to Xie first, "Grandmother, granddaughter is late." Xie Shi smiled and nodded, "Come on, it's not too late to come before the meal starts." ”

Xia Mengning stood up and saluted to the Fang family on the side, "I've seen my mother." ”

Fang's face was gone, and he smiled and pulled her to the woman on the side and said, "Come on, come on, you're left alone, this is your eldest aunt, come and see it." ”

Xia Mengning raised her head slightly, and saw a well-dressed woman sitting next to Fang's with a cumbersome hanging flower bun, and immediately said with a smile: "Ning'er has seen the eldest uncle. ”

General Zhenguo's wife Geng Shi looked coldly at the person in front of her, wearing a long skirt made of azure brocade streamer satin, a moon-yellow belt around her waist, pressing down the yellow Pisces playing in the water jade pendant, covered with a thin white pink silk dress, the girl's skin was as white as jade, her jet-black hair was lightly tied up in an ordinary meniscus bun, there was no cumbersome headdress on her head, only a blue and white hairpin, although she was dressed extremely plainly, but it made people unable to find fault, this Fang's family, wrote to herself to say that she was in big trouble, Isn't it just such a milky yellow-haired girl, it is also worth running her legs, thinking of this, Geng Shi smiled slightly, picked up the teacup on the side and drank tea slowly, but Xia Mengning was left aside.

Xia Mengning didn't notice anything wrong, she still lowered her head, her knees were slightly bent, and there was no other look on her face, Geng took a sip of tea and put down the tea bowl, and said slowly; "Get up."

Xia Mengning stood up calmly, with a smile on her face, this Mrs. Zhenguo is a rescuer invited by the Fang family, if you don't make things difficult for yourself first, it will be tricky, so that you can figure out what they want to do, right.

Xie's face was a little uneasy, this Geng family, relying on the fact that he was the master of the Zhenguo Mansion, could come to other people's houses to play prestige like this, after thinking about it, he looked at the Fang family with those eyes, and did not make a sound.

At this time, a maid came in outside to report, "Old lady, the prime minister is back, saying that he wants you to take the young ladies to the front hall." ”

Xie Shi nodded, got up and walked out first, and the people behind him followed along.

Came to the front hall, there were a few male voices talking in the room next to him, Xia Mengning frowned slightly, as if a little uncomfortable, Xie Shi walked behind a screen and sat down, and many female dependents also sat down next to each other, at this time, those men came out of it and sat at the table outside.
