Chapter 173: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner (1)
At this moment, Jiu'er also walked in from the outside, saw Wu Qing, looked surprised, and hurriedly walked to Xia Mengning's side, blocking her body in front of her.
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, then opened his throat and said, "I said, what's wrong with you one by one, you don't welcome me when you come back, right?" ”
Jiu'er was stunned, Xia Mengning had already told her what had happened, and at this moment, her little head was fiercely analyzing whether the person in front of her was the real Wu Qing.
The surroundings were very quiet, except for the sound of the cold wind, Wu Qing looked at the three of them, and finally seemed to be unable to bear it, and waved his hand impatiently: "Forget it, forget it if you are not welcome, it is not possible for my aunt and grandmother to leave......
As he spoke, he turned around and was about to go out.
Xia Mengning suddenly stretched out her hand and held her hand tightly, Wu Qing was stunned, and when she looked at Xia Mengning, she saw Xia Mengning also looking at herself upright, but suddenly, Xia Mengning hugged her tightly, and then, Jiu'er and Zhulian also surrounded her and hugged Wu Qing fiercely.
"In the future, you are not allowed to leave......"
"Dead Wu Qing, you don't know how much I miss you these days, where have you been......"
"That's it, I'm worried about us, I left you a lot of your favorite sugar cakes, if you don't come back, I'll take them out for the beggars to eat......"
The three of them said one sentence by one, although it was a reproach, but it made Wu Qing hear a strong concern, her eyes were also red, she sniffed, Wu Qing said: "You three, scared me to death, I thought you all disliked me and didn't accept me......"
When Jiu'er heard this, she let go of Wu Qing's arm and wiped her tears and said, "Okay, you Wu Qing, you still say such things at this time......
Xia Mengning smiled, "Let's go into the house, it's too cold outside." ”
The four of them walked into the house, and Xia Mengning said, "You come back this time, and you are not allowed to leave in the future, okay?" ”
Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning, and then at Zhulian and Jiu'er, who looked forward to it, and nodded vigorously in his heart.
Zhu Lian stood up and said to Xia Mengning: "Miss, why don't you go and prepare a few side dishes for Wu Qing?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled, nodded and said, "Go quickly." ”
Jiu'er and Zhulian went out to prepare, only Wu Qing and Xia Mengning were left in the room, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and no one knew how to break the silence.
Xia Mengning looked at Wu Qing, but still opened her mouth first, "Wu Qing, since you are back, you will stay in the mansion in the future." ”
Wu Qing turned his head, deliberately not looking at Xia Mengning, and said hesitantly: "Aren't you afraid that I will rob you of Senior Brother, you know, I am a ...... It's never until you reach your goal......"
Xia Mengning smiled, "I have never doubted you, you were before, you are now, and you will be in the future." ”
Yes, how could she doubt Wu Qing, every time the most dangerous thing was done by Wu Qing alone, she knew that she had damaged her internal strength, but she was more nervous than anyone else, if she had this idea in her heart, she should have put it into action a long time ago.
Xia Mengning thought of this, Jiu'er and Zhulian had already brought a few dishes to the table, Xia Mengning poured two glasses of wine, picked up one and handed it to Wu Qing, "Drink this glass of wine, you will answer us, and you can't leave casually from now on." ”
Wu Qing looked at the wine glass in front of her, how could she not know what this glass of wine was replaced, how long ago did she like her senior brother, although she had hesitated and struggled at the beginning, but later she still chose to hide her thoughts.
The world is unpredictable, when her mind is completely exposed to others, Wu Qing was very nervous at first, she thought that she wanted to say goodbye when she came back this time, but what she saw was the smiling faces of the three of them and retaining them, Wu Qing's heart softened, she had stayed in Zhuzhiyuan for so long, and she had unconsciously accumulated deep feelings, this glass of wine, it was Xia Mengning who was making peace with herself, and she was also asking for her own opinion.
Wu Qing looked at the wine glass in front of him, finally took it, raised his head and drank it all.
Senior brother is just the object of admiration when he was young, after all, people always have to grow, there are so many good men in the world, there is no need for him to let his youth be entangled in a hopeless relationship.
Wu Qing is cheerful by nature, and now that he thinks about it, he feels more and more that Changsun Yun's temperament is not in harmony with him, for example, he likes to use knives, but Changsun Yun always likes to use swords, and for example, a mess of relatives in Changsun Yun's family, if he really marries, I am afraid that he will not be as handy as Xia Mengning.
Between weighing left and right, Wu Qing had already put down this thought, and when he raised his head again, he regained his previous heartiness and liveliness, filled the wine glasses for everyone next to him, raised the wine glass in his hand with a smile and said, "Come on, come on, for me...... The great and beautiful Wu Qing is back to our base camp, and cheers! ”
The four of them smiled and clinked glasses, a few glasses of wine went down, several people's faces were flushed, Jiu'er pushed Wu Qing and smiled: "The first time I saw Wu Qing's red face, it was under the effect of this fine wine......"
Wu Qing stretched out his hand and patted his face, his eyes were misty, and he said, "Really?" How could it be, how could I blush, come on, let's drink again......"
Zhu Lian and Jiu'er didn't drink much, Xia Mengning was also because of her internal strength, even if she drank a few more glasses, it would be fine, but Wu Qing drank a lot with great interest, until she finally fell drunk on the couch, still dragging the wine bottle in her hand.
Zhu Lian and Jiu'er cleaned up Wu Qing and carried them to the room again, Xia Mengning sat on the couch, flipped through the medical book in her hand, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.
It would be good if we could live together in harmony.
In two days it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and all parts of the house were busy nervously, although Xia Mengning was busy and did not have idle efforts, but he did not give the errand to Wei to do, and the kitchen side has promoted Deng to be the deputy steward, although he is not a big steward, but he is also a person that Xia Mengning can really trust.
There is Deng in the kitchen, and there is Deng's husband Li in charge of everything outside, although Xia Mengning is busy, she has also reduced a lot of burden.
"Miss, Deng is waiting outside, saying that he is looking for you for something."
Xia Mengning was sitting on the bed looking through the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner list in her hand, and when she heard Jiu'er say this, Xia Mengning did not raise her head, and said softly: "Let her in." ”
After a while, the thick curtain was lifted, and Deng Shi, who was dressed in a water-red jacket skirt, walked in, as soon as he entered the room, Deng first saluted Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning said lightly: "Excuse me, what is the matter with me?" ”
Deng raised his head and said, "If you go back to the third lady, something happened to the carp for the Chinese New Year this year." ”
Xia Mengning's eyes swept slightly over Deng's body, and said, "Oh? What's wrong? ”
Deng nodded, "Originally, it was the slave and maid who were in charge, but the Wang family secretly swapped the carp when the slave and maid were not paying attention." ”
Xia Mengning was so smart, she suddenly heard the mystery in it, and smiled: "If that's the case, that's it, you give me a good look, and there must be no accidents." ”
Deng comprehended, looked at Xia Mengning, and nodded.
As soon as the Deng family left, Jiu'er hurriedly said, "Miss, what kind of moth is this Wang family doing?" ”
Xia Mengning put down the book in her hand, opened the tea lid with her bare hands, gently brushed the tea foam on the water surface, and said with a smile: "I forgave her for the last time, I thought it was a usable, but I didn't think about it, but I had bad intentions, no matter what, these people can't stay anymore." ”
The more Jiu'er listened, the more confused she became, and she was puzzled: "Miss, let's not send someone to investigate, then why did the Wang family go to change the carp?" ”
Xia Mengning shook his head, "We already know in advance, if we take the liberty to investigate, we may startle the snake, this time I have to put a long line to catch big fish, and completely rectify the atmosphere in this house." ”
Jiu'er saw that Xia Mengning was very confident in what she said, so she also nodded and stopped talking.
In the big kitchen, Wang looked at the carp swimming happily in the two big wooden barrels in front of him, and was slightly stunned, but now that he got this carp, he didn't know if he was doing it right, and in a daze, the things of the previous days came to his head again.
On that day, the Wang family was unexpectedly forgiven by Xia Mengning, although he was secretly glad that he had escaped a catastrophe, but he was relieved and worried again, his grandson wanted to go to a good private school, where did he get so much money to do.
Although he was worried, he had no choice but to stay next to each other, and after returning home, looking at his grandson's eyes, Wang only felt that he was very useless.
It just so happened that at this time, a girl with an eye came to her house, and she stretched out her hand and gave herself a gold ingot.
The girl said that as long as she made a little hand and foot in the carp to be used for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she would give herself a gold ingot, Wang was stunned, staying in the mansion all year round, she also understood in her heart the fighting method between several masters, for these things, she has always kept alone, but today, this is clearly to borrow her own hand to kill anyone.
Wang thought about it, at this time it is the third young lady who is in charge of the house, if there is a problem with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the old man and the old lady will definitely be very dissatisfied, and the third young lady will definitely be punished at that time, then, who will benefit?
Wang thought like this, his back was dripping with cold sweat, he saw the methods of the third miss today, he saw it in his eyes, these five aunts must not be satisfied with the third lady's approach today, so she came up with this strategy to deal with the third miss.
Wang looked at the gold ingots in front of him, although with this money can solve the problem of his grandson going to the academy, but if he is not careful, he will even take his life into it, his family is all working in the prime minister's house, although his wife left early, his son is the head of the stable, and he can't take the life of this family to gamble.
Thinking of this, Wang resolutely rejected the girl's meaning, but he didn't think about it, at this time his daughter-in-law happened to come back, learned about it, he had to agree to live or die, and if he didn't agree, he would hang himself.
