Xia Chuanyuan's voice suddenly raised, startling Xia Mengran, who was crying, Xia Mengran raised his head and saw that Xia Chuanyuan's eyes were staring at him firmly, as if they were about to breathe fire.

Xia Mengran saw this scene, and her heart was even more angry, today's scene was completely made by Xia Mengning, thinking like this, Xia Mengran turned her head and looked in Xia Mengning's direction, "Xia Mengning, this is as you wish, right, seeing me being trained by my father, you are happy, right, you are now a concubine, so you also want to come to me to play a prestige, then you have to see if you are worthy of it?!" ”

Hearing this, Xia Mengning's lowered face showed a subtle smile, and finally forced out this Xia Mengran's true feelings.

Thinking like this, Xia Mengning stood up abruptly and stepped forward, standing beside Xia Mengran and said, "Fifth sister, how can you say such a thing, my father has never been a concubine to you and me, and you have really wasted my father's hard work when you say this." ”

As she spoke, Xia Mengning took out the account book, flipped to one of the pages and said, "Fifth sister, please see, the bird's nest in your house has always been the most used in the entire house, and even in Daddy's house, there is no reason why there are so many bird's nests. ”

Xia Chuanyuan glanced at it, and saw that the numbers on it were more than all of them, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows, and asked, "Ran'er, do you need to use so many bird's nests?" ”

Xia Mengran didn't expect to be mentioned about these things, and was about to open her mouth to explain, but Xia Mengning said slowly: "Fifth sister, my father has always loved our sisters, everything is divided equally, the fifth sister said that my sister is in charge of family affairs to fill her own pockets, but the fifth sister uses white swallows to cover her face every day, let me ask, which concubine in the capital can afford this kind of treatment?" ”

Xia Mengran was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to be pulled out of these things about herself, and she wanted to explain, but it was too late, so she heard Xia Chuanyuan say sharply: "Little Liuzi, you go to Miss Five's house to see, what's going on?" ”

Xia Mengning stood on the side, as if she was too emotional, still panting slightly, Xia Chuanyuan said softly: "Ning'er, you go and sit on the side first." ”

Xia Meng's blessing body, "Daddy Xie." ”

Jiu'er helped Xia Mengning to the side and sat down, and after a while, Xiao Liuzi walked in with a copper basin and said, "Master, the slave saw this in the fifth lady's room, and it was Bai Yan." ”

Xia Chuanyuan glanced at it and immediately became furious, "Okay, although my Prime Minister's Mansion is rich in materials, it is not for you to let a young lady like you squander it, come on, take the fifth young lady to the ancestral hall to kneel, when to reflect on it and when to come out, don't always think that you are a high-ranking young lady." ”

Two tall and fat mothers-in-law on the side stepped forward, one left and one right set up Xia Mengran, who was crying and complaining, and walked out, Xia Mengran was very scared, knowing that if he entered the ancestral hall, he would lose his father's favor, and he had to ask Xie for help in a hurry.

"Grandmother, grandmother save Ran'er, Ran'er doesn't want to go to the ancestral hall......"

Xie Shi looked at it, turned his head and said, "Yuan'er, ...... today"

"Mother doesn't need to say much, this is an internal atmosphere, if this kind of extravagant atmosphere is not removed, how can I rectify other people in the house in the future, not to mention that my mother also saw it just now, Ning'er is the person in charge of the family assigned by me, but Ran'er has no respect for her, and she insults her, doesn't she take me, the head of the family, in her eyes?"

After the last sentence was finished, Xie Shi was a little embarrassed, knowing that he was also persecuting Xia Mengning just now, and Xia Chuanyuan took this opportunity to talk about himself at this time, since this is the case, then I am afraid that he will not be able to save Ran'er.

Xia Mengning stood up at this time, walked to Xia Chuanyuan and said, "Daddy, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't you change the day to cure the sins of the fifth sister, if the fifth aunt knows, she will also be sad." ”

It's okay not to mention the fifth aunt, as soon as the fifth aunt was mentioned, Xia Chuanyuan frowned, obviously thinking that the two children of the fifth aunt were not successful, Xia Chuanyuan glanced at Xia Mengning and said: "You don't have to say more, you must teach her a lesson today, otherwise if you get married in the future, you will lose the face of our Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Xia Mengran was dragged by two tall mothers-in-law, and she didn't have the slightest power to fight back, crying and looking at Xia Chuanyuan, but she heard such cruel words.

Xia Mengning lowered her head, nodded to her lips with a handkerchief, her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and she looked at Xia Mengran with a smile.

After dealing with this matter, Xia Chuanyuan was also a little tired, and looked at Xia Mengning and said, "Ning'er, is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ready?" ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "Back to Daddy's words, the matters of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner have been prepared, Daddy, please rest assured." ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, stood up and said, "That's good, I have prepared a carriage and a nursing home for you, and you can go to the palace after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, and heard Xia Chuanyuan say: "I still have some things to deal with, so I'll go first." ”

Seeing that Xia Chuanyuan was leaving, Xie Shi hurriedly glanced at Mother Chen, Mother Chen nodded lightly and walked out, Xie Shi said: "This is the Chinese New Year's Eve, what official duties are you still dealing with, come and talk to my old woman." ”

Xie rarely said such things to Xia Chuanyuan, although Xia Chuanyuan was surprised, he was also a little flattered, turned around, and walked back to sit down.

Xie Shi was talking to Xia Chuanyuan absentmindedly, and asked without a word, Xia Meng condensed the tea and saw the strangeness, but Xia Chuanyuan only cared about this Xie Shi's rare smile at him, so he was confused.

After a while, a strong fragrant wind wafted in, the door curtain was lifted, and a woman wearing a light red embroidered plum blossom branch short gown and a big red hundred-character Luo skirt walked in.

Xia Mengning hated this rich fragrance of fat powder very much, and as soon as she frowned, Jiu'er behind her handed over the veil.

The woman walked into the room with a wooden tray and a lotus step, with a finch branch Ruyi hairpin on her head, and a tassel hanging on her ear, looking like a young girl.

The woman walked up to Xia Chuanyuan, put the teacup in her hand in front of Xie Shi and Xia Chuanyuan in turn, and said coquettishly: "Old man, old lady, please use tea." ”

Xia Mengning looked at the woman's back, and then at Xie Shi, a smile overflowed on her lips, it turned out to be like this!

Xia Chuanyuan didn't notice anything wrong, picked up the teacup casually and took a sip, Xie Shi asked, "What's the matter, is this tea okay?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded in admiration, "The fragrance enters the lungs, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, good tea!" ”

Xie nodded with a smile, looked at the woman standing below, and said with a smile: "This is Caiwei, the granddaughter of Chen's mother, who is fourteen years old this year, I heard that it is very good to make tea, so I asked to come to my side to serve, and now you also praise it, it can be seen that Caiwei really makes good tea." ”

Hearing Xie say this, Xia Chuanyuan only symbolically raised his head and glanced at the woman in front of him, only to see that the woman had a pink face and a pretty nose, a cherry mouth and a small cherry mouth, she was really a beautiful woman with a good appearance.

Xia Chuanyuan is also a man, men like beauty, and now when he saw this young strange beauty at first glance, he was immediately attracted to it, put down the teacup and said softly: "Your name is Caiwei?" ”

The woman who called Cai Wei immediately lowered her head shyly, and the voice of the weak mosquito and fly responded: "Yes, slave Cai Wei." ”

Xia Chuanyuan saw that the beauty bowed her head shyly, and seemed to be even more energetic, and then asked, "Have you read a book?" ”

Cai Wei nodded, "The slave knows a few words. ”

Such a modest answer made Xia Chuanyuan's eyes squint, Xie Shi looked at it, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, I look at Cai Wei is good, Mother Chen has been by my side for so many years, I have to find a good family for Cai Wei." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Chuanyuan with deep meaning.

Strangely, Xia Chuanyuan lowered his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, without answering Xia Chuanyuan's words.

For a while, Xie Shi and Cai Wei were a little embarrassed, Xia Mengning looked at the expressions of everyone on the field, but she watched it with relish.

After Xia Chuanyuan finished drinking tea, he stood up and said, "Mother, let's talk about this another day, I still have official business to do in the previous dynasty, so I won't accompany you." ”

After speaking, he didn't even give Xie a chance to speak, and quickly turned around and left.

Xia Chuanyuan left, Xia Mengning also saluted and left, Cai Wei stood in place, seemingly surprised that Xia Chuanyuan would ignore his beauty and specialness, and looked unwilling.

Xie Shi looked at it and said, "You go down first." ”

Cai Wei glanced at Chen's mother, and finally walked down unwillingly.

Xie Shi looked at the teacup on the table and said to Chen's mother, "Don't be discouraged, I will help you." ”

Mother Chen dared to say anything, so she had to nod her head.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er came out of Rongfu Hall, first went back to Zhuzhiyuan to change clothes, and now that Xia Mengran was punished, naturally they didn't have to wear such clothes anymore, just after changing their clothes and sitting in front of the mirror to comb their hair, they saw Wu Qing walk in.

Jiu'er saw Wu Qing and asked, "Why did you come back again, didn't Miss let you go home for the New Year?" ”

Wu Qing sat on the couch, brought the plate well, and said while eating snacks: "It's not interesting at home, it's just listening to my father's chatter, my brother muttering, I'm really fed up, it's better to be with you, it's more lively." ”

Jiu'er smiled and tied Xia Mengning's hair in a bun, Xia Mengning took the hairpin and inserted it back into her hair, picked out a pair of pearl earrings and put them on, turned around and looked at Wu Qing and said, "Wei's place, have you arranged it?" ”

Wu Qing smiled, and before he swallowed the snacks in his mouth, he hurriedly said: "It's a trivial matter, I guarantee that you are satisfied." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, took a red envelope from the dresser and handed it over, "Happy New Year." ”

Wu Qing took it, didn't open it, but blinked his eyes from the gap in the corner and looked inside, and said with a smile: "It's a silver ticket, it's really generous." ”

Saying that, Wu Qing's expression suddenly became serious, and said, "Ning'er, I just came back from the hospital, and I knew something on the way. ”
