Chapter 70: Undercurrents (2)
The next day, Xia Mengning was washing up and sitting at the dark red round table to eat, Jiu'er came in from outside and said, "Miss, Rongfutang came to say that there is no need to go to ask for peace today, saying that the old lady caused a cold last night, and now she is recuperating and not being disturbed." ”
Xia Mengning nodded and took a sip of barley porridge, "In this way, I won't go, this kind of thing of filial piety must also be picked on the idea, grandmother is annoying me a lot now, so I won't be bored with myself." ”
As he spoke, he sandwiched a crystal bun and ate it, and asked: "Jiu'er, you will go to the steward's room to ask for some silk threads to come back, Zhulian, you go to the study to find some books with paintings, just have nothing to do today, why don't we three draw patterns and embroider clothes." ”
Zhu Lian nodded on the side, "Okay, okay, it's summer, the young lady hasn't dressed yet, it's time to make a few." ”
Xia Mengning hurriedly finished her meal, and then went into the back room to draw the pattern, and Zhu Lian and Jiu'er went to the study and the housekeeper's room respectively.
Xia Meng stared at the hanging bell begonia outside the window, and drew a picture carefully, and just halfway through the painting, he saw Wu Qing walk in.
"You're really leisurely, and you still have the heart to draw tricks." Wu Qing leaned on the side of the bed, watched Xia Mengning bend over and paint, and pouted.
Xia Mengning ignored her, slowly traced the last stroke, and then straightened up and said, "You won't come to see what I'm doing, right?" ”
Wu Qing touched his chin, stepped forward and whispered: "The emperor has issued a decree, the whole country strictly prohibits this snake beauty, and now this decree has been covered with a jade seal, and it is in the hands of Gonggong Su, and it will not take noon to summon the world." ”
Xia Mengning put down her pen and looked at Wu Qingdao: "Noon?" Now my father is afraid that he is still in the palace, and I don't know where the Fang clan ......."
Wu Qing smiled, "Now things are as you wish, the Fang clan can't stay in this mansion no matter what." ”
Xia Mengning curled her lips, looked at the scene outside the courtyard, and laughed softly.
In Yilan Garden, Fang Shi was sitting on a chair, the fragrance of the room was filled, and Mother Liu on the side said: "Madam, there is no way to go on like this, let's go out and breathe." ”
Fang Shi opened his eyes and gave her a blank look, since he used this honey agarwood, his spirit had improved greatly compared to before, not only was he always in a very good mood, but even just sitting here, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt like he was about to fly.
"What do you know, this honey agarwood is a good thing, what's the use of going out to breathe, I don't have to see those cheap hooves, it makes me unhappy."
Liu's mother was about to speak, but she only felt a pain in her neck, and she wanted to reach out to touch it, but she felt that her arm had no strength at all, and her eyes gradually blurred, and the whole person fell down.
Fang Shi heard the voice behind him, turned his head and saw Liu's mother falling to the ground, she was very frightened, and just wanted to open her mouth to call for help, she only felt a numbness in her waist, and the whole person lost consciousness.
Seeing that both of them fell to the ground, Wu Qing jumped down from the roof, pulled a face towel from his arms to cover his mouth and nose, walked lightly to the incense burner, took a bowl of tea from the table and poured it into it to extinguish the fire, and then took out all the things in the incense burner, leaving only some ashes after burning.
After doing all this, Wu Qing bent the corners of his mouth, opened the window and climbed out.
Back to the Bamboo Branch Garden, Jiu'er and Xia Mengning were studying head-to-head together to see which one looked good, Zhulian was studying ink on the side, seeing that Wu Qing was back, Jiu'er hurriedly stood up and dipped some prepared flower water from the copper basin outside the house, and gently sprinkled it on Wu Qing's body, Xia Mengning saw it and asked, "Can it be done?" ”
Wu Qing raised his hand, sniffed his body by the way, Jiu'er also stopped the movement in his hand, walked over to smell it, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's no smell." ”
Xia Mengning flipped through the book, then stood up and said, "Zhulian, help me make up, we will have to go out and show our faces in a while." ”
Jiu'er and Wu Qing followed in, Xia Mengning sat in front of the rhombic bronze mirror, and said to the two people behind her: "Jiu'er, you go to the steward's room to reveal this matter to Li Yan, so that he can have a bottom, Wu Qing, you go to the front yard to watch, and Daddy will come and tell me as soon as he comes back." ”
Both of them nodded, and walked out one after the other, Zhu Lian combed Xia Mengning's hair in a bun, and said with some worry: "Miss, is there a complete solution to this matter?" Don't take any chances. ”
Xia Mengning smiled and said softly: "The matter has come to this, this is the opportunity created by God for us." As he spoke, he held the tassel on his hair bun with his hand, turned to look at Zhu Lian and said, "I can't bear it anymore, the damage that the Fang clan inflicted on me and my aunt before can't let me endure it anymore." ”
Zhu Lian was stunned, remembering the suffering that Miss had suffered, and her heart slowly became firm.
At this time, Wu Qing had already trotted in, "Quick, the prime minister just got off the sedan chair." ”
Xia Mengning listened and hurriedly said, "You quickly go to Yilan Garden to wake up the master and servant of the Fang clan." Wu Qing nodded, lifted the inside and used light skills to leave.
As soon as Xia Chuanyuan got off the sedan chair, he hurried to Yong'an Hall, Xiao Liuzi followed on the side, Xia Chuanyuan's footsteps became faster and faster, and when he walked to Yong'an Hall, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Xiao Liuzi on the side: "Go and call Li Yan." Xiao Liuzi said 'hey' and retreated.
Li Yan was called to Yong'an Hall, and Xia Chuanyuan was not subtle, so he came up and asked, "Tell me all the spices used in our house." ”
Li Yan was informed by Jiu'er, so he opened his mouth to speak, and after saying something, Xia Chuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was no such snake beauty, if he accidentally mixed in, wouldn't he be implicated.
Waving his hand to call Li Yan down, Xia Chuanyuan sat down on the chair all of a sudden, remembering that he heard the words of the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Hall today, his legs were already scared, but fortunately, no one in this mansion used this incense, which was also a great luck.
At this moment, Xiao Liuzi's voice came from outside the door, "Master, it's not good, master." ”
Xia Chuanyuan's head jumped suddenly, and his heart became more and more panicked, and he asked, "Why are you so panicked?" ”
Xiao Liuzi even ran and climbed in, and even dropped one of his shoes, shouting regardless of his image: "Madam...... Mrs. She...... Lose your marbles. ”
Xia Chuanyuan stood up from his chair suddenly, "What the hell is going on, what does it mean that Madame is crazy?" ”
Xiao Liuzi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pointed outside and said, "Master, you better go and have a look, just outside in the garden, many people can't stop Madame." ”
Xia Chuanyuan glanced at Xiao Liuzi, then raised his feet and walked out.
At this moment, in the garden of Xiangfu, Fang's family is like a wild horse on the loose, bumping everywhere, and when he sees someone, he goes up to pinch someone's neck, several maids are pinched unconscious, crooked on the ground, and the rest of the people can't stop it if they want to, so they can only hold their heads and run around to dodge.
As soon as Xia Chuanyuan came to the garden, he saw such a scene, was the crazy woman with his hair in a messy bun in front of him his wife, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help but ask himself, and then he was furious, and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous!" ”
A loud roar made the people in the yard see Xia Chuanyuan, everyone was frightened, and when they saw the head of the house, they all ran behind Xia Chuanyuan, Fang saw it, and hurriedly came up to chase after her, and when she ran in front of Xia Chuanyuan, Xia Chuanyuan grabbed her arm, "What are you doing, are you crazy?" ”
Fang's eyes were red and fierce, Rao was a well-informed Xia Chuanyuan, and he was also frightened when he saw these eyes, Fang's didn't speak, he just smiled and grinded his teeth, but in an instant, he opened his mouth and bit Xia Chuanyuan's arm fiercely.
"Ahh Xia Chuanyuan was taken aback by Fang's sudden move, and hurriedly shook off Fang's strength, but Fang's strength suddenly increased a lot, no matter how Xia Chuanyuan kicked her, she just bit her mouth and didn't let go.
Blood dripped down Xia Chuanyuan's arm little by little, Fang's bite became deeper and deeper, Bai Sensen's teeth all fell into Xia Chuanyuan's arm, and the family and maid beside him all rushed forward and dragged and pulled, but Fang didn't care at all, just bit Xia Chuanyuan's arm fiercely and didn't let go.
The piercing pain made Xia Chuanyuan frown his brows, and he almost fainted.
At this moment, a person suddenly flew in the air, only to see that the person's toes were on Fang Clan's body a little, and Fang's whole person was thrown out, smoothing out on the ground for a distance before stopping.
