Late at night, the whole prime minister's mansion was silent, shrouded in the quiet night, the small door in the corner of the garden, 'squeak' opened, a woman with a maid's head carefully poked her head out, shouted softly, after a while, a person came out of the grass, by the moonlight, the two quickly hidden in the grass.

"How's it going, did you get it?"

"Well, the clothes and everything are locked in the box, and I took a golden hairpin from the dresser."

"Well done, after the deed is completed, the young lady will be rewarded, and at tomorrow's birthday banquet, you go to the front door to give this thing to a man in green clothes, and then ......"

The voice was very small, Wu Qing couldn't hear it clearly when he stood on the wall, but his eyebrows were still wrinkled, this matter was really tricky.

The conversation between the two ended quickly, and Wu Qing also turned over and jumped into the night, rushing towards Fang's Yilan Garden.

In Yilan Garden, Fang was resting on the bed, and suddenly, there was a sound of 'dong dong' coming from the window lattice, Fang got up and got out of bed, and asked quietly, "Who is coming?" ”

"Back to the eldest lady, the slave is Biyi." Fang's heart calmed down after hearing this, opened the door, Biyi walked in quickly and reflexively closed the door, turned around and said, "Mother Yin has settled the eldest lady, and the things over there are all ready, just wait for tomorrow." ”

Fang's face was nervous and anxious, and after listening to what Bi Yi said, he didn't slowly come back to his senses, and after a while, he smiled slightly: "In this way, you can rest assured." ”

Bi Yi nodded, and Fang said, "You hurry back, so as not to be discovered." Biyi blessed the body, quietly opened the door and ran out, in the silent night, no one found out, someone came.

Fang sat back on the bed and sneered slowly, Xia Mengning, don't blame me for being ruthless, blame you for robbing my daughter's things.

After Wu Qing saw all this, he took advantage of the night to go back to the Bamboo Branch Garden, it was dark in the Bamboo Branch Garden, Wu Qing quietly went in, Xia Mengning was sitting on the edge of the bed admiring the moonlight, heard the sound, and asked softly, "How is it?" ”

Wu Qing came up with his ears and told Xia Mengning everything he saw, the latter nodded, Wu Qing was surprised, "Why is the third young lady ......" Xia Mengning chuckled, "Jiu'er is my person." ”

With just a simple sentence, Wu Qing understood what had happened, Xia Mengning stood up and asked, "Have you gone to Tinghua Garden to have a look?" The Ning clan is not the lord of peace. ”

Wu Qing smiled and said: "The third lady doesn't know yet, this Ning family used to be the top name in the Qinglou, I heard that I privately liked a little student in the opera team, what is Duan Xiaoyu, who looks white and clean, and the two of them can fight hotly during that time." ”

Xia Mengning pondered for a long time, and smiled slightly, "This is the first time I've heard of this, no matter what, if she is willing to be safe, I won't move her, if she is restless, it can be our sharp weapon." ”

Wu Qing nodded and asked, "What about tomorrow?" ”

"It's okay!"

Xia Mengning shook her hand, "Everything goes naturally, how can the Fang family's mother and daughter dig the pit with all their painstaking efforts, how can they not bury something in it?" What's more, there will be many guests tomorrow, and my eldest sister will be famous all over the world. ”

Turning around, he picked up a paper bag from the table and handed it to Wu Qing, "This is a cherished medicinal herb, you take it, and when you feast tomorrow, you will use it unknowingly." ”

Wu Qing took the paper bag and put it in his hand, and said with a smile, "You just wait to watch the show." ”

Wu Qing walked out, Xia Mengning stood alone in front of the window, the crescent moon in the night sky, Xia Mengning squinted her eyes, the road to revenge was getting closer and closer.

On the second day, early in the morning, Xia Mengning was first served for breakfast, and when Zhulian was dressing her, she asked with a smile, "Today is a lively day, Miss must dress up well and dominate the crowd." ”

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Your young lady is only thirteen years old, who can hold it down?" Don't be poor, hurry up and groom me, grandmother will be too late to go there, and you will be slipped again. ”

Zhu Lian stuck out her tongue, "What kind of bun does Miss want to comb, is it a little grander?" Xia Mengning shook his head, thought for a while and said: "Comb a cloud bun, simple and generous, you can't lose your dignity." ”

Zhu Lian's hands are very dexterous, and after a while, a small cloud bun will be combed, Zhu Lian picked up the wooden comb for Xia Mengning to take care of the green silk behind her head, Xia Mengning reached out and took a ruby gilt hairpin carved with an acacia flower style in the box, and inserted it obliquely on the bun.

After drawing her eyebrows and applying lipstick, Xia Meng stared at the person in the mirror, looking forward to the brilliance, the red lipstick reflected the fair skin, and the girl's face was even better.

Xia Mengning wore a pink blouse for the first time, with a one-color flowered skirt underneath, covered with a moon-white cardigan coat, and the wide cuffs and hem were embroidered with acacia flowers, which only looked refreshing and clean.

Went to Rongfu Hall with Zhulian, and before entering the house, he heard a lot of voices inside, Xia Mengning walked into the house, and the sight was a few well-dressed ladies, who only bowed their heads slightly, and walked to Xie Shi and said: "I've seen my grandmother, my grandmother has a big birthday today, and Ning Er wishes my grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity better than Nanshan." ”

Simple but dignified dress, elegant conversation, Xia Mengning attracted the eyes of the room as soon as she appeared.

"I've seen my mother!" Xia Mengning turned sideways and saluted the Fang clan on the side.

Fang's family is used to being a loving mother in front of people, where can she make trouble at this juncture, she just said with a smile at the moment, "Hurry up, how can there be such false etiquette between mother and daughter." ”

Xia Mengning stood up, walked to the side and stood up, and a noble lady with a flowery bun sitting opposite smiled: "Which girl in the house is this, she is really good-looking, I saw it just now, I thought it was the Nine Heavens Xuannu who went down to earth." ”

Fang replied: "Mrs. Dong is laughing again, your daughter is the real celestial." ”

Mrs. Dong? Xia Mengning frowned slightly, and Wu Qing behind her stepped forward and reminded in a whisper, "Mrs. Dong is the wife of Lord Dong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the eldest daughter Dong Wanwan is the companion of the seventh princess in the palace now, she is very popular, and she values her very much, and she wants to marry back to be the main room of the eldest prince." ”

Xia Mengning quickly sorted out these relationships, the corners of her mouth curled, it turned out to be the Fang family's future prospective in-laws, no wonder she had to hurry up to climb relatives.

"Mother, how can you say that, I am your serious daughter-in-law, how can I compare with those concubines, I really lost my identity."

Next to Mrs. Dong, there stood a woman wearing a small red shirt with a stand-up collar and a red Luo skirt, the woman combed her hair in a slanted bun, her head was jeweled, and she wore two huge Dongzhu pearls on her ears, and the whole person was dazzling.

This person should be Dong Wanwan, Xia Mengning thought, Dong Wanwan over there said, "Is it Miss Xia San, I didn't say your identity wrong." ”

Xia Mengning raised her head and said with a smile; "Naturally, it's true, it's just that my mother has always been tolerant and generous, and she treats me like her own daughter in the house, and she has never been a concubine, I am grateful to my mother, so I didn't tell Miss Dong first, it's rude."

Obviously, it was Dong Wanwan who was disrespectful first, but Xia Mengning first made amends, and then pulled the Shang family, and the people around them unconsciously looked at the Fang family after hearing this, this concubine respects you so much, but you choose to be silent when outsiders insult her, this grandmother is inevitably too mean.

Fang secretly muttered in his heart, this Xia Mengning is really a sharp tooth, and whatever he says will involve himself, thinking of this, he said: "Where Ning Er said, you also call me mother, but this big family also has the rules of a big family, and etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Xia Mengning snorted coldly in her heart, but her face did not indicate that at this moment, a delicate voice came, "Mrs. Xia is going to set rules for the concubine in front of everyone, but everyone can hear every word just now, some people are afraid that they will be squeezed by their mother-in-law after passing the door, so they come to flatter, pity the third miss of the Xia family, just like this is a stepping stone for some people to achieve their goals, it is really eye-opening." ”

Xia Mengning raised her eyes and saw a girl in willow green clothes standing on the right opposite, combing a regular bun with a few simple but precious Ruyi gemstone hairpins on her hairpin, looking at herself with a smile.

"Liu Shihan!" Dong Wanwan stood up and pointed to the woman who spoke, "What do you mean, who is someone referring to?" ”

The woman laughed indifferently, "Whoever answers, who will be the one who answers." ”

Dong Wan snorted coldly, "It's just that it's also a concubine who brought up the goods, why, I found someone who has the same disease, it's really a noble life." ”

The woman who spoke first did not have a different color after hearing this, but smiled and said: "I am standing here now if I am not noble, but some people are beautiful for everyone, but they just say some pickled words, which is really ashamed of her." ”

Dong Wanwan wanted to say something, but was gently dragged by Mrs. Dong behind her, only to find that the room full of people were looking at her with strange eyes, Dong Wanwan was so angry that she simply shook off her mother's hand and stood aside.

"It's normal for girls to be noisy and have a little mood, we old people are not here to get in the way, let's go outside to watch the play."

Xie Shi, who didn't say a word, spoke at this time, and everyone followed their own people out of the door, Xia Mengning fell behind, and was about to follow out of the house, when his sleeve was pulled.

turned around and saw that the woman who spoke for herself just now was standing in front of her, Xia Meng was full of blessings, "Thank you girl for your help just now." The woman smiled indifferently, and reached out to hold Xia Mengning's arm, "It's okay, I've always liked to fight unevenly, especially that Dong Wanwan, who is the companion of the Seventh Princess, it's really disgusting." ”

Xia Mengning seemed to be a little surprised, and then felt relieved, what kind of face in this world she has seen, hypocritical, hideous, authoritarian, domineering, only as frank and scheming as the woman in front of her, but she has never seen it.

"What are you doing in a daze, my name is Liu Shihan, my father is from Yipin Shangshu, mother, you have seen it just now, what about you, what is your name?"

Xia Mengning retracted her thoughts and said with a faint smile: "Little girl Xia Mengning, you must know your father, her biological mother is the daughter of the county Cheng." ”

Liu Shihan didn't seem to be interested in her life experience or anything, but just took her arm and said excitedly, "Xia Mengning, I'll call you Ning'er in the future, we will be good friends in the future, by the way, you can call me Shihan, or Han'er." ”

Xia Mengning was infected by her emotions, held her hand and said, "Poetry." ”

The two walked out of the house with a smile, and when they entered the garden, there were already dozens of tables of banquets in the garden, and in front of them were the seats of the host and the honored guests, and then there was a high singing platform set up temporarily.

"Do you like to listen to theater?" Liu Shihan asked, and before Xia Mengning could answer, she said to herself, "I don't like to listen to this kind of drama, it's boring to fight and kill, why don't you take me to the house to play, I'm a guest, you're the host, that's right." ”

Xia Mengning glanced at the people at the banquet in front of her, and just nodded, "Okay, I don't like it too much, let's go sit over there." After speaking, he turned to Wu Qing behind him and said, "You follow." ”
