Chapter 166: Decision (5)
When Eldest Sun Yun woke up, he saw Xia Mengning sitting cross-legged next to him, his eyes closed, as if he was enduring some pain.
"Ning'er ......"
Xia Mengning was awakened by the voice of the eldest grandson, and immediately put down the pain on her face, and said with a smile: "Are you awake?" ”
Eldest Sun Yun sat up against the wall, touching his head and wondering, "What's wrong with me, how did I fall asleep?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over: "Take a sip of tea." ”
Eldest Sun Yun took it, and Xia Mengning continued: "I read a method from the ancient medical book that can delay the onset of Gu poison, but the process will be very disgusting, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it, so I have to stun you first." ”
Eldest Sun Yun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What method, why haven't you talked about it before?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled, "It's all already tried, I don't believe you can try your true qi yourself, is there no previous sense of confinement?" ”
When Changsun Yun heard this, he immediately secretly exerted his strength, only to feel that the true qi of the void on weekdays had recovered again, and his whole body felt extremely happy.
Eldest Sun Yun smiled and nodded, "Your method is really powerful......
Xia Mengning smiled, looked at the sky outside, and said, "It's not early, you better go back quickly, by the way, don't tell others about this matter first, so as not to startle the snake and make Tanglin Mo have tricks again." ”
Changsun Yun looked at the already dark sky outside, nodded, and walked out.
Almost at the same moment as the footsteps of the eldest Sun Yun left, Xia Mengning couldn't support it anymore, covered her chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out from her chest, Jiu'er took a handkerchief and wiped it for Xia Mengning with tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "Miss, you are like this...... Is it worth ......?"
Xia Mengning curled her lips, but said with a smile: "Except for this method, there is nothing else, I can't ......" Xia Mengning closed her eyes, and continued: "I watched him die." ”
In the palace, Donglin Mo, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a panic, and immediately reached out to take out the small box like a conditioned reflex, pointed at it with his fingers, and felt the information on it.
Zi Gu has passed?!
Dongling Mo's heart tightened, the eldest grandson Yun dared to solve the Gu by himself, didn't he know that the son Gu could only be solved by the mother Gu?
Dongling Mo hurriedly stretched out his hand to urge the mother Gu, until he felt the existence of the Zi Gu, and then he was relieved.
It seems that Eldest Sun Yun did not lift Zi Gu, so he was relieved. Now the only thing that can contain Changsun Yun is the Gu poison in his body.
Three days later, it was Xia Zhikang's full moon banquet, Xia Chuanyuan feasted many famous dignitaries and ladies in the capital, and for a while, there was an endless stream of carriages in front of the prime minister's mansion.
Xia Mengning got up early, and after freshening up, she went to Meifangyuan, Ge Shi had already finished dressing, and was sitting on the chair shaking Xia Zhikang in the cradle, the child was sleeping fragrantly, a little hand was clenched to his lips, and he pecked gently.
Xia Mengning just came for a while, and many famous ladies came in the room, although Ge was carried to a flat wife, but in the end, these noble ladies still don't look very well, but now because Xia Mengning has won the love of the emperor and the queen mother, many people want to come for a while.
Xia Mengning sat on the side, politely and politely greeted these people, and at this moment, Mother Chen, who was beside the Xie family, walked in and said with a smile: "Madam, the old lady ordered the slave maid to come and say, the seniors in the clan are here, please take the little young master to the front yard to shave your head." ”
When everyone heard this, they also knew that the people in front of them had arrived, and they all stood up and walked out, Ge Shi was served by the girl and stood up, put on a wide cloak, and walked out with Xia Zhikang in his arms.
Xia Mengning slowly stood up, Jiu'er hurriedly supported her, Xia Mengning shook her head lightly, "It's okay, sit down for a while." ”
As he spoke, he sat on the chair for a while, breathed the true qi in his body, and then was helped by Jiu'er and walked to the front yard.
When he came to the front yard, he saw all kinds of people, Ge Shi carried Xia Zhikang to the front, where the two rows of chairs were already full of the elders of the clan, and Xia Chuanyuan was also sitting in it.
According to the custom of the northern country, the eldest person in the tribe must shave off the hair on the baby's head with a razor, then roll it into a ball, put it in a purse sewn by the biological mother, and then hang the purse on the baby's bedside for three days, indicating that the baby will be safe and healthy in the future.
Xia Mengning sat on the chair on the side and watched, everyone on the stage was beaming, Jiu'er whispered on the side: "Miss, today's banquet is organized by the fifth aunt, aren't you afraid that she will do something?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled, picked up the teacup and said, "No, the Wei family is now thinking about how to win Daddy's heart, where will there be extraneous branches?" ”
As she spoke, Xia Mengning saw a few people sitting together talking not far away, Xia Mengning frowned, and said, "Daddy is going to invite Dong Jiancheng's family?" ”
Jiu'er shook her head, "I don't know about the slaves, but there are really a lot of people who came today." ”
At this moment, a small guy looked like a guy hurriedly ran over, in this winter, the little guy was covered with sweat, seeing Xia Mengning, the little guy hurriedly stopped, and said anxiously: "Third Miss, no, there is a quarrel in the big kitchen behind." ”
Xia Mengning put down the teacup slowly, frowned, and said, "Because of what?" ”
The little guy scratched his ears and cheeks, he couldn't do it in a hurry, and when he heard Xia Mengning ask like this, he spit out a little, "It seems to be ...... It seems to be today's luncheon, the kitchen said that the blood swallow is no longer enough, and you have to go to the account room to pay the silver, and the account room says that the third lady is your housekeeper, and every money has to go through your hands. ”
Xia Mengning nodded, "That's it, you lead the way ahead, I'll go for it." ”
The little guy nodded hurriedly, bowed in gratitude, and then turned to lead the way.
Xia Mengning stood up, calmly arranged her collar, and smiled at Jiu'er beside her: "Look, isn't this an accident?" ”
When the two arrived at the big kitchen, the little guy shouted first, "The third lady has arrived." ”
The quarrel inside suddenly became quiet, Xia Mengning walked in with a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and saw that it was a mess inside, as if someone had moved her hands, Xia Mengning saw it, and immediately frowned: "Who is the manager of this kitchen?" ”
A mother-in-law immediately walked out and said to Xia Mengningfu: "The old slave Wang clan is the steward of this big kitchen. ”
Xia Mengning smiled, "Oh? It's you, someone, drag me down and play twenty boards. ”
Everyone was stunned, and the Wang family was even more frightened, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Third Miss, spare your life, what did the slave do wrong?" ”
Xia Mengning looked at her and smiled: "The scope of this kitchen is under your control, but now you can see, what is this mess, shouldn't you be beaten for dereliction of duty?" ”
After Xia Mengning finished speaking, she saw that the mother-in-law immediately stiffened her neck, "What the third lady said is not right, the old slave is just the steward of this kitchen, not the nursing home, if someone fights, how can the old slave be persuaded to open it?" ”
Although he said polite words, his expression was clearly disdainful.
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Oh? So I can't punish you today, right? ”
Saying that, Xia Mengning raised her feet and walked out, "Since what I said is not good, then I have to go to my father to administer justice." ”
Immediately, a little girl ran out, and Jiu'er saw a few little girls who also wanted to go out, and hurriedly scolded: "It's all for me to stand, where do you want to run, the third lady is still standing here, are they all blind?" ”
Several figures who wanted to move stopped at once.
After a while, a group of people walked over to this side, and it was Xia Chuanyuan who walked in front.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Xia Chuanyuan frowned and asked.
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Wang, you are the kitchen manager, let's talk about you, what's going on?" ”
Wang glanced at Xia Mengning, and said slowly: "Back to the master, at this luncheon, there is a dish on the menu that is a steamed vegetable blood swallow, but just now the slave maid looked at it, the blood swallow in this warehouse is no longer enough, the slave and maid want to go to the account room to buy silver, so as not to delay the luncheon, but the account room said that the third lady has to go to spend the silver, and the slave and maid have to ask someone to find the third miss, but the third lady is here now, and the slave and maid will be beaten indiscriminately......"
After everyone listened, their eyes all looked at Xia Mengning, this third young lady, could it be that she relied on the emperor's favor, she was so carried away, she dared to make waves in the house at a young age, she was quite unreasonable, it was really hateful.
Xia Chuanyuan also frowned and asked, "Ning'er, but that's the case?" ”
Xia Mengning shook her head, "Daddy, when my daughter came, it was already such a mess here. ”
This sentence seemed to remind everyone, only to see that the originally huge kitchen was full of messes, and the floor was full of vegetables and fish.
Xia Mengning looked at it and said worriedly: "If you delay the luncheon, I'm afraid it will be inconsiderate, Daddy, it's better to let people buy blood swallows first, and then hurry up to start the banquet." ”
The Wang who was kneeling on the ground listened, his eyes showed a trace of disdain, today's things were done on his own purpose, after Xia Mengning took charge of the house, he could no longer go to the account room to pay the money casually, these days his youngest son is about to take the academy exam, but there is no silver to do, how can he go in smoothly, so if he thinks about it, he can only take advantage of today's day to do something.
If he makes this third lady ugly in front of everyone, then the master will definitely hand over the errand of the family to others in the future, and then he will be able to make oil and water as before.
Thinking of this, Wang said: "Master, this is because the account office refuses to pay the silver, so these girls have trouble with them......"
Xia Chuanyuan frowned, "Bold, what day is today, dare to sprinkle like this?" ”
