Chapter 174: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner (2)

The New Year is coming soon, early in the morning, Jiu'er and Zhulian are waiting in front of Xia Mengning's bed, Wu Qing went back to celebrate the New Year with his family, and Xia Mengning didn't stay, after all, Dr. Wu must also miss his daughter very much.

Xia Mengning opened her eyes in a haze, and saw that there were two more figures in front of her bed, Xia Mengning sat up with her arms propped up, opened the tent with her bare hands, and saw Zhulian and Jiu'er biting their ears and whispering.

Seeing that Xia Mengning had woken up, Zhulian and Jiu'er hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss, but she's awake." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, and a big lucky orange and a lucky bag were stuffed in his hand, the orange was cool, only a festive red rope was tied on the pedicle, and the lucky bag was embroidered with delicate patterns, Xia Mengning looked at it, and heard Zhulian and Jiu'er say in unison: "Happy New Year, good health." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped the foreheads of the two of them in the air, "You two, ......"

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Zhu Lian served Xia Mengning After washing, she combed her hair, Xia Mengning took two red envelopes from the dresser and handed them over, "Don't think I don't know the careful thinking of the two of you, na, red envelopes......"

The two happily took it, and at this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind itself, "I wonder if there is a red envelope for me?" ”

Jiu'er and Zhulian turned their heads, and saw Changsun Yun in a dark red robe, the two glanced at each other, and they both bowed to Changsun Yun and walked down with a smile.

Xia Mengning picked up a cumbersome hollow finch hairpin and gestured on her head, pouted, "Why did you come uninvited?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun walked over to Xia Mengning's side with a smile, stretched out his hand to pick and choose in the dresser, and finally took a fancy to a gilded Ruyi and Hehe hairpin, got up and walked behind Xia Mengning, pulled out the hesitant hairpin of Xia Mengning, and gently inserted it into the one he chose.

Xia Mengning looked left and right in the mirror, and seemed to be not dissatisfied, so she withdrew her hand.

Eldest Sun Yun looked in the mirror behind Xia Mengning and smiled slightly: "A smile is alluring." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, saw Changsun Yun's clothes in the mirror, turned around and said, "You are finally willing to change into white clothes." ”

As he spoke, he also looked at Changsun Yun's body, and Changsun Yun also stood up cooperatively, meeting Xia Mengning's eyes, and at the end, he didn't forget to ask, "What, is it good-looking?" ”

Xia Mengning covered her mouth and smiled, "It's good-looking." ”

Two simple words, but it made Changsun Yun very satisfied, slightly hooked his lips, and an evil smile bloomed, which made Xia Mengning look straight in his eyes.

It's the first time I've seen a man pay so much attention to appearance, but this dark red robe is very suitable for Changsun Yun, originally Changsun Yun likes to wear white clothes, and the whole person looks free and uninhibited, but as soon as this red dress is put on, Changsun Yun's demonic temperament is immediately highlighted, and he smiled slightly just now, which really makes Xia Mengning feel ashamed.

Why is there a man in this world who is more bewitching than a woman?

Seeing that Xia Mengning lost her mind, Changsun Yun was very satisfied, sat down next to Xia Mengning again, reached out to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "Ning'er, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight, there are fireworks in the palace to watch, and I will pick you up when the time comes." ”

Xia Mengning was stunned, this custom, she still knows, the northern country has a custom different from other countries, that is, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, men, women, young and old will go out of the house and come to the street to celebrate the arrival of the New Year with neighbors and people in the city, at this time, the palace will also send people to light fireworks in front of the palace to entertain the people of the city.

For this reason, a loft was specially built in the palace that is most suitable for watching fireworks, and the emperor personally nominated it as a 'Appreciation Tower'.

In the past, only Fang and Xia Mengxi could enter the palace to watch the fireworks, and he and his mother could only stay in the mansion, not even on the street, and even at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he and his mother were not allowed to serve at the table.

Xia Mengning remembered the past, her face was slightly distracted, and the strength in Changsun Yun's hand increased a little, Xia Mengning suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Changsun Yun in confusion.

Xia Mengning is used to being calm and moderate, and the color of joy and anger is never shown on her face, but now the eldest grandson Yun saw Xia Mengning's eyes slightly hazy and confused expression, and a trace of softness and distress appeared in his heart, leaning forward slightly, and stealing a kiss on Xia Mengning's lips.

Xia Mengning pushed him away all of a sudden, glared at him with wide eyes and said, "Eldest Sun Yun ......"

Eldest Sun Yun fell in love with her puffing appearance, which was completely different from Xia Mengning, who was calm on weekdays, and Eldest Sun Yun couldn't help it, so he reached out and pinched Xia Mengning's face.

The skin of the tentacles was silky, and Changsun Yun couldn't put it down even more, Xia Mengning blushed, and roared: "Changsun Yun, what are you doing?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun came back to his senses all of a sudden, and when he saw Xia Mengning looking at him with an unhappy face, he couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Ning'er, you look very cute when you're angry......

Xia Mengning's face flushed, and she slapped away Changsun Yun's hand in disgust, "What do you mean by saying such sensual words early in the morning?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun didn't mind at all, but enjoyed the time of flirting with Xia Mengning, stretched out his hand to rub Xia Mengning's hand, and said, "You have never been to the palace to see the fireworks, watching it from the heart tower will definitely make you unforgettable." ”

Xia Mengning didn't really look forward to it in her heart, she had already relived her life, and she didn't care much about these things that she was looking forward to in her previous life, what she cared about most was how to consolidate the power in her hands, and how to keep her mother and Kang'er's happiness.

Looking up, seeing the appearance of the eldest Sun Yun, Xia Mengning finally smiled, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it." ”

Eldest Sun Yun smiled, but his face changed in an instant, and he whispered a few words in Xia Mengning's ear, Xia Mengning's expression changed from surprise to clarity, and then from understanding to certainty, and at the end, Eldest Sun Yun pulled back and looked at Xia Mengning and said, "What?" ”

Xia Mengning thought about it carefully and said, "Can you make sure that it is correct?" Don't go wrong. ”

Eldest Sun Yun stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Mengning's face, and said with a smile: "Can't you still trust your husband and me?" If I dare to do it, I will definitely succeed. ”

Xia Mengning shook his head, reached out to break his hand away, and said, "Okay, I know, you better go back quickly." ”

Eldest Sun Yun looked outside, nodded, winked at Xia Mengning, and turned to leave.

Xia Mengning finished grooming and went to Rongfutang in full dress.

Outside the Rongfu Hall, he already saw that the entire Rongfu Hall had taken on a new look, Xia Mengning looked at it, didn't say anything, and walked in with Jiu'er.

The little girl at the door saw Xia Mengning, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave maid has seen the third lady." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "Look at you, you're an eye, how old are you?" ”

The girl didn't expect Xia Mengning to talk to herself, she was flattered for a while, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Slave Qiao'er, it's a new girl who just came to the house, and the slave is nine years old this year." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, and turned her head to smile at Jiu'er as if inadvertently, "Look, I'm a year younger than you, no wonder I look at this little body like this." ”

After Xia Mengning finished speaking, she gestured to Jiu'er, and Jiu'er took out a piece of broken silver wrapped in red paper from her pocket and handed it over, "Third Miss will reward you." ”

Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xia Mengning at a little bewildered, as soon as Xia Mengning touched that look, she was slightly stunned, how long had she not seen such a clear and harmless look.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengning smiled again, "Take it, New Year's red envelope." ”

Saying this, Qiao'er accepted the red envelope with anxiety, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

At this moment, the heavy Fuzi curtain was lifted, and Mother Chen, who was smiling, walked out, and when she saw Xia Mengning, she seemed to be very surprised, "The old slave has seen the third lady." ”

Xia Mengning saw the look in Chen's mother's eyes, but said with a smile that did not change: "No need to be polite." ”

This Mother Chen, who had already been hiding behind the curtain and eavesdropping, but she came out at this time, Xia Mengning knew her thoughts, but she didn't bother to break it.

These people still don't pay attention to themselves, after all, how many small fish can make a few waves?

Mother Chen straightened up, smiled kindly, and turned her head, but her face changed from that Qiao'er, "Little hoof who doesn't know whether to live or die, the third miss is here, why don't you invite in first, the body of the third lady's daughter, if you suffer from the cold, can you afford it?" ”

These words were a bit embarrassing, Jiu'er was not happy, and turned her head to see Xia Mengning lowering her eyes, and Jiu'er knew Xia Mengning's intentions.

Thinking of this, Jiu'er spoke: "What did Mother Chen say, what did Miss Chen say, saying that she would not die during the New Year, it was unlucky, this little girl and Miss San fell in love very much, so Miss San asked two more words, how did it get into your mouth, it became another meaning, although the slave maid is young and not as senior as you, but what should I say and what should I not say, the slave and the maid can distinguish clearly, otherwise, let's go in and talk to the old lady to see if what the slave said is reasonable?" ”

Jiu'er was wearing a neat light red jacket, combing a wrist-thick braided braided on her chest, looking at Chen's mother with a pair of big eyes, and she spoke lightly and crisply, looking smart, but at this time, it made Chen's mother's old face a little unbearable.

Xia Mengning listened to Jiu'er's accusation and sarcasm with a gun and a stick, and secretly pinched Jiu'er's palm, but her face was cold, and she shook off Jiu'er's hand and said: "You girl, how can you talk to Mother Chen, Mother Chen is an old man in front of her grandmother, how can you be so ignorant?" ”

Although Xia Mengning blamed Jiu'er for this, she did not admit that what Jiu'er said was wrong, but she was repeatedly emphasizing that Chen's mother was the old man in front of Xie's family, so it sounded like some Chen's mother was reprimanding Xia Mengning by virtue of her high qualifications.

Hearing this, Jiu'er seemed to be startled, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said again and again: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare." ”

Listening to the master and servant singing and harmonizing, although Mother Chen was resentful in her heart, she didn't dare to show it, so she had to calm herself down, and said with a reluctant smile: "What Miss Jiu'er said is that the old slave is old and indeed confused, don't be surprised by the third miss." ”

Xia Mengning smiled and said to Chen's mother: "Mother Chen doesn't need to be polite, it turns out that this slave is not good, and she always speaks indiscriminately......"

Stopping here, Xia Mengning's words were a little meaningful, as if she was satirizing Chen's mother's behavior at the beginning, but people could find fault, but they couldn't find it.

Xia Mengning said, then turned to Jiu'er, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Why don't you thank Mother Chen for not blaming you?" ”

When Jiu'er heard this, she knelt down in front of Mother Chen again, and said again and again: "Slave and maid, thank Mother Chen for not remembering villains." ”

Looking at Jiu'er who stood up, Mother Chen was so angry that she almost fainted, she had been in front of the old lady for so many years, and no one dared to fool herself like this, this third lady really underestimated her before, and simply thought that she was just a little clever.

As soon as this thought got into Chen's mother's head, Chen's mother immediately realized that no, she must not let her continue to be so arrogant, and she had to tell the old lady and let her guard against the third miss.

It's just a pity, if Chen's mother's consciousness could have been earlier, maybe it would still be useful, and now Xia Mengning, would she still be afraid of a mere Xie family?
