Chapter 119: Drawing Water from a Bamboo Basket (3)

Xia Zhihan left the nunnery, and went directly to the prince's mansion without returning to the prime minister's mansion, but he was told that the prince was not in the mansion, Xia Zhihan looked at the guard's contemptuous appearance towards him, and his heart became unhappy, even if he was dismissed, he was still the eldest young master of the prime minister's mansion, these dog-eyed slaves are really hateful.

Just as he was about to step forward to theorize, he heard the sound of the carriage stopping, Xia Zhihan turned his head and saw that it was the prince who had just come out of the carriage.

Xia Zhihan was happy in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward, "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Changsun Ye looked at it suspiciously, "Are you?" ”

Xia Zhihan raised his head and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Xia Zhihan is in Xia Zhihan." ”

When the eldest grandson saw Xia Zhihan's appearance, he knew his identity, and he was not only surprised, but also a little surprised, he only went to the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago to discuss the matter of getting married, and Xia Chuanyuan sent someone so soon?

"Oh, it's the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what are you doing?" The eldest grandson Ye remembered what Zhen'er had just told him, so he didn't care about Xia Zhihan.

Xia Zhihan smiled, hunched his waist and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not convenient to talk here, can you ......?"

Eldest Sun Ye turned his head, looked at Xia Zhihan's expression, and nodded, "Come in." ”

The two entered the prince's mansion together, the eldest grandson came out of the back room after changing his clothes, Xia Zhihan hurriedly put down the teacup and stood up from his position, the eldest grandson sat aside, picked up the teacup and said, "I don't know what the eldest prince is looking for me?" ”

Xia Zhihan smiled, stepped forward and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to marry the Prime Minister, and this is for this matter." ”

The eldest grandson Ye became interested, "Oh? I don't know what progress the eldest prince has? ”

Xia Zhihan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that there is only one unmarried woman in the house, but the fifth sister is very stubborn, I am afraid that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marries back, it will be very tricky." ”

The eldest grandson touched his chin, "What about according to the opinion of the eldest prince?" ”

Xia Zhihan saw the expression of the eldest grandson, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly said: "Although Zai Xia was dismissed by the emperor, he is still the eldest young master of this mansion, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to marry his sister, then ...... in the future."

Xia Zhihan deliberately didn't finish speaking, leaving half of the suspense for the eldest grandson night.

The eldest grandson was stunned in his heart, he was not in a hurry about this matter, but now Concubine Jing has sent news that her father is about to die, and even the tiger talisman has to be taken out and passed on, and the father has no intention of passing it on to himself, if it is not himself, whoever he gives it to will sit on the throne with the tiger talisman.

Changsun Ye felt bored for a while, if he could be an accomplice with the Prime Minister's Mansion, then his chances of winning could be one more point, although Xia Zhihan was dismissed, he was still the only heir to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now he came to the door by himself and threw out to himself that he wanted to cooperate, why didn't he agree.

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson couldn't help laughing, walked down and helped Xia Zhihan, and said, "Why should the eldest prince be so polite, they will all be relatives in the future, and they should always be casual when getting along." ”

In this way, it is a promise.

Xia Zhihan smiled and narrowed his eyes, and arched his hand again and again, "The prince is polite." ”

The next day, Xia Mengning was standing in front of the window copying the calligraphy, when she saw Jiu'er running in from outside in a hurry, Xia Mengning smiled and said: "What's the matter, I haven't gone out these days, you guys are in a hurry to run into my house every day, let's say, what's the matter this time?" ”

Jiu'er ran in and pointed out the door, "Miss, Miss, go out and have a look, Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down......"

Xia Mengning was puzzled in her heart, continued to write, and said without raising her head: "The prince came to the mansion, and he didn't look for me, what am I going out for?" ”

Jiu'er stomped his feet anxiously and shouted, "Oh, Miss, the prince ordered someone to carry the dowry to the mansion to hire him." ”

Xia Mengning's hand shaking when she was learning words, and said with a surprised expression: "Hire?" Who is the prince going to hire? ”

Jiu'er seemed to be finally satisfied with Xia Mengning's expression, reached out and took the brush in Xia Mengning's hand and rested it on the table, took Xia Mengning's hand and said, "Miss, don't write it, many people are watching outside, let's go and have a look." ”

Xia Mengning hurriedly changed her clothes, and walked out of the door of the Bamboo Branch Garden with Jiu'er.

Walking to the front yard, there were indeed a lot of people gathered, and many little girls were pointing around the boxes wrapped in red paper, surrounded by a chattering sound.

Xia Mengning was puzzled, looked around, and saw Xia Mengran looking at the dowry in the center with a calm face, with a slightly disdainful expression.

It's not Xia Mengran, is it Xia Mengyou?

Xia Mengning was puzzled, and saw Changsun Ye and Xia Chuanyuan coming out of the house, followed by Xia Zhihan.

Changsun Ye walked to the front, turned around and said, "In this way, I will bother the prime minister to prepare more." ”

Xia Chuanyuan couldn't see his joy or anger on his face, but nodded lightly.

The eldest grandson turned around and walked out, Xia Zhihan hurriedly stepped forward to see him off, Xia Chuanyuan looked at the dowry in the courtyard, frowned and said, "It's all scattered." ”

Everyone dispersed in a hurry, but Xia Mengning was standing in place, Xia Chuanyuan saw her, and whispered a few words to the little Liuzi beside him, and saw the little Liuzi walking in the direction of Xia Mengning.

"Third Miss, the master called you."

Xia Mengning listened, glanced at Jiu'er beside him, and the two walked forward together.

Entering the house, seeing that Xia Chuanyuan was already sitting in the top position, Xia Mengning was puzzled, but he still bowed first, Xia Chuanyuan waved his hand, "Excuse me, you have also seen that the prince personally came to hire a young lady from our mansion to marry a side concubine." ”

Xia Mengning listened and asked, "I don't know which one?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan raised his head and said slowly, "It's your big sister." ”

Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, the so-called guessed the beginning but couldn't guess the ending, that's it, he never thought that the prince was going to marry Xia Mengxi.

Xia Chuanyuan shook his head, "Although the prince is not allowed to be reused by the emperor, how can he say that he is also the prince, now that you have a marriage contract with the Dingxi Palace, how can we marry another daughter and go to the prince's mansion?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan said, his brows furrowed tightly.

Xia Mengning hid the horror in her heart, and said slowly: "Daddy, this matter is definitely not the prince's effort, according to her daughter, there are many twists and turns, I'm afraid there are too many twists and turns." ”

Xia Chuanyuan was already afraid in his heart, and he didn't want to stand in line too early, but as the prime minister, he was the first candidate for the forces of all parties, and it was really more difficult than climbing to the sky if he wanted to be alone.

Xia Mengning sighed and said, "Daddy, now I can only do this first, if I don't follow the prince's order, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." ”

Xia Chuanyuan weighed it in his heart, knowing that it was difficult to ride a tiger now, and the prince's move today forced him not to agree, forget it, let's go with nature.

Xia Zhihan sent away the eldest grandson Ye, and when he returned to the house, he saw that Xia Mengning was also there, and he was a little eager to show off.

"Daddy, let the child pick up my sister in the afternoon, anyway, now that the marriage has been decided, if you still let your sister in the nunnery, I am afraid that it will reach the ears of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it will not affect it."

Xia Chuanyuan was upset, thinking that the prince would have to take care of it, so he nodded indiscriminately, "Go, go, you don't have to call me when you come back, just go back to Fangfei Garden and wait for the marriage." ”

With that, Xia Chuanyuan stood up and walked into the back room.

Xia Mengning was stunned in his heart, knowing that a lot of things must have happened during the days when he didn't go out in the house, and many things were unexpected by him, just like today's incident, he didn't even notice it.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengning also stood up and walked out of the house with Jiu'er, Xia Zhihan followed behind, and said with a smile: "Didn't the third sister feel uncomfortable when she heard that the prince was going to marry the eldest lady?" ”

Xia Mengning was amused in her heart, can the prince be regarded as a good match?

Thinking about it, Xia Mengning turned around, looked at Xia Zhihan with a smile and said, "The eldest sister can finally come out of the nunnery, it's too late for the younger sister to be happy for her, how can she be dissatisfied?" ”

Xia Zhihan looked at Xia Mengning's smile, and said: "It's better to be like this, it's not as good as before, if the third sister still wants to do something, I'm afraid it's not as simple as before." ”

Xia Mengning listened, covered her mouth and smiled, "Big brother's words are bad, if the eldest brother thinks that his sister is doing something, please take a look at himself first, the matter of the prince marrying the eldest sister, I'm afraid it's not that simple, if the younger sister is willing, I'm afraid that the eldest sister won't marry so easily, if the eldest brother wants to give it a try, just say a word, this is the ability to make a stumbling block, I can learn a lot from the big sister!" ”

After speaking, Xia Mengning looked at Xia Zhihan's eyes and smiled deeply.
