After only a few sips of this tea, I heard a sound of footsteps at the gate, and a girl wearing a cyan jacket and skirt walked in, looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, and then walked into the room tremblingly, knelt down and said: "The slave maid has seen the third lady, the old lady has a headache, let the slave and maid come...... Come and find Chen's mother to go back. ”

Xia Mengning put down the teacup in her hand, nodded her lips gently, and looked at Chen's mother and Yang who were kneeling outside, their faces had frozen into blue and purple, Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Grandmother is not feeling well, she should call a doctor to come and see, when will Chen's mother know how to see a doctor?" ”

The little girl kneeling at the bottom was stunned, she didn't expect Xia Mengning to say this, she was speechless for a while, Xia Mengning looked at her and said, "You go back and tell your grandmother, just say that Mother Chen still has something to do with me, if your grandmother has a bad headache, you should go and ask a doctor to take a look, understand?" ”

The little girl stayed for a while and said, "The slave knows." ”

Chen's mother and Yang, who were kneeling in the garden outside, thought that this was the Xie family sending someone to save them, but they didn't think about it but were bombarded back by Xia Mengning's words, Chen's mother secretly thought to herself in her heart, today's step is really wrong, if the Xie family can't save themselves again, then I am afraid that today I will be severely punished.

Time passed little by little, and more and more people gathered at the gate of Zhuzhiyuan to watch the excitement, but Xia Mengning looked at the medical book in her hand without hurry, and the little girl had not come back since she was pushed back by Xia Mengning.

The night gradually filled up, the cold wind was even higher than a gust, Xia Mengning was about to go to dinner first, when she saw Jiu'er walk in and whispered: "Miss, that Caiwei didn't survive in the plum garden and fainted." ”

Xia Mengning raised her eyebrows, seeing that Mother Chen, who was already numb, and the Yang family hurriedly raised their heads when they heard this, Xia Mengning smiled secretly in her heart, and waved her hand: "I'm not a vicious person, since she has fainted, she must also know her mistake, since that's the case, you can go back." ”

Yang and Chen's mother were stunned, they didn't expect Xia Mengning to let them go like this, but just now I heard Jiu'er say that Cai Wei had fainted, and she didn't say much at the moment, she hurriedly stood up and helped each other to walk out.

Seeing the two of them staggering along, Jiu'er couldn't hold back, covered her mouth and laughed: "Phew, you think you are something, and you dare to come to our bamboo branch garden to sprinkle." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, stood up and walked to the back room, Jiu'er lifted the curtain for her in front, Xia Mengning sat on the couch and said with a smile: "Since it was sent to the door, how could I not punish it severely?" ”

At this time, Zhu Lian had already lifted the curtain and walked in, and asked, "Miss, the slave maid has brought back dinner, do you want to use it now?" ”

Xia Mengning nodded, and said, "Zhulian, if I am not in the courtyard in the future, you will close the door, no matter who it is, don't let them come in casually." ”

After speaking, he took a bottle of ointment from the drawer in the corner of the couch and handed it to her: "This is an ointment that disappears from marks, you remember to rub it a little before going to bed, it will get better faster." ”

Zhu Lian took it, and Jiu'er said on the side: "Sister Zhu Lian, if they come again in the future, don't be polite to them, and let them think that we are easy to bully." ”

After this incident, the Xie family did not make things difficult for Xia Mengning, and they still smiled when they met, as if this had never happened.

The days passed, this New Year was dull and tasteless, Xia Mengning went to accompany Ge every day, and occasionally went to see Liu Shihan's condition, it seems that as the weather gradually warms, Liu Shihan's body is getting better and better.

Time flashes, it's the spring season, although it's not very cold, but it's still a little cool, you have to wear more in the morning and evening, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold.

Xia Zhikang can already crawl around on the ground with his neck up, Xia Mengning deliberately made a large cushion with a good carpet in order to facilitate him to move more, and every time he finished eating, he held Xia Zhikang and climbed back and forth on the mat a few times.

Dingxi Wangfu gave a dowry gift in the spring, a large box of sixteen lifts, which can be described as rare, most of them are rare treasures, I heard that Changsun Yun personally went to collect them, and this move really made many people who were talking about Xia Mengning's identity not worthy of Changsun Yun shut up.

Xia Mengning has already started to make a wedding dress, similarly, the marriage of Xia Zhihan and Liu Shihan, both parents agreed, because of Xia Zhihan's age, they decided early, and they will get married next month.

When Xia Mengning heard the news, she was still slightly uncomfortable in her heart, although she knew that no matter what she said, she would not change Liu Shihan's thoughts, but Xia Mengning would be very uncomfortable watching Liu Shihan go on like this.

Dingxi Palace, it is a monthly family banquet, everyone finished eating, the eldest grandson stopped: "It's a person who is about to get married, how can I take care of it and do something right." ”

The eldest grandson Yun drank tea and nodded in agreement.

Meng Xianya on the side said: "Speaking of this marriage, the concubine has heard that in order to win the favor of Miss Xia San, the prince of the world actually searched for rare treasures everywhere and sent them." ”

The eldest grandson knew about it, and it didn't matter, but now when he heard Meng Xianya say this, he felt a little uncomfortable, and looked at the eldest grandson Yun and said: "Men are ambitious in all directions, and they must not fall into other people's tongues for the sake of such children's affection." ”

The eldest grandson Yun smiled, put down the teacup and said, "What my father taught me is." ”

Seeing that Changsun Yun had a very good attitude, Changsun Zhi also nodded and didn't say more, no matter how you say it, it's also an adult, if you always stumble him with rules, it's always bad.

Who expected that after Changsun Yun said this, he looked at the eldest grandson on the side again, and asked: "I don't know how the second brother has been doing recently, seeing that the side concubine has the leisure to care about me, it must be that the second brother's military rank has been implemented." ”

The eldest grandson's face turned red, he lowered his head and did not answer, Meng Xianya looked at the eldest grandson Yun hatefully, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said to the eldest grandson: "Lord Wang, Li'er has tried his best, but what kind of examiner has to say that Li'er is not passing, and he will retake the exam in three years, depending on the concubine's body, then the examiner just didn't take you in his eyes......

The eldest grandson glanced at Meng Xianya, who was chattering, and interrupted her impatiently, "The chief examiner is a respected old official in the court, can he still tell lies, if Li'er really has real talent and learning, then there is no need to take the exam for three years in a row." ”

Meng Xianya was robbed of white by the eldest grandson, her face turned blue and white, but she couldn't refute it, so she had to bow her head sullenly.

Zheng Hanxiu, who was sitting next to the eldest grandson, listened, smiled slightly and said with a smile: "Lord, don't say that about Li'er, although Li'er lacks talent, but he always inherits your advantages, loyal and filial, according to the concubine's body, Li'er is already seventeen, it's time to marry a wife, isn't this saying that if you start a family, you can only start a business if you become a family first." ”

The eldest grandson listened to it, nodded and said, "It's not unreasonable for you to say that. As he spoke, he turned his head to the eldest grandson and said, "Li'er, do you have a favorite woman?" ”

The eldest grandson was suddenly asked by the eldest grandson, and unconsciously remembered the woman who had appeared countless times in his dreams, but this woman had become his quasi-sister-in-law, how could he think about it again?

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson raised his head and looked at the eldest grandson, and said, "Father, the child has never thought of marrying. ”

After saying this, the eldest grandson felt a look at him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the eldest grandson Yun, as soon as he touched the gaze of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, could it be that the eldest brother had found something, but it shouldn't be, he had never shown his mind in front of others.

Changsun Yun looked at Changsun Li, his eyes were a little hateful, this stinky boy, do you still think you don't know the little abacus in his heart, as early as after that banquet, Changsun Yun found out that Changsun Li had different thoughts about Xia Mengning, and after returning to the house, Changsun Yun sneaked into Changsun Li's room to check, and the portrait of Xia Mengning hidden under the pillow by Changsun Li was naturally seen by Changsun Yun.

The eldest grandson didn't know what the two brothers were thinking, but after listening to the words of the eldest grandson, he said unhappily: "How can you not think about it, you are already seventeen, it's time to talk about a family matter." ”

When the eldest grandson heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and said, "Father, ......"

Zheng Hanxiu, who was sitting next to the eldest grandson, listened to it, and interrupted the eldest grandson's words with a smile: "Li'er doesn't have to be shy, in a few days, I will post to the mansions of all the daughters in the capital, invite them to taste tea and enjoy the flowers, and then you don't have to go to the barracks, just stay in the mansion and pick a good pick." ”

The eldest grandson didn't wait for others to express their opinions, and said first: "This is excellent, just do as you say." ”

As soon as the matter was implemented, within a few days, all the mansions received a post about meeting in Dingxi Wangfu to taste tea, Xia Mengning received the post, and was teasing Xia Zhikang in Meifang Garden, and the little Xia Zhikang could already vaguely pronounce a few syllables, "Eldest sister...... Hide...... Sister ......"

It's not very clear, but it's still happy Xia Mengning, listening to Xia Zhikang's milky voice shouting to himself, Xia Mengning excitedly raised his little arm up and down, and Ge Shi on the side smiled: "It's all girls who are going to get married, how can they still have such a child's heart, they should be careful in their words and deeds, so as not to get their in-laws' family and be found faulty." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "Mother, don't you know your daughter's rules?" Besides, my daughter is only so happy when she is with Kang'er. ”

Ge Shi nodded, reached out and touched Xia Mengning's bun, sighed and said: "It's been so many years in the blink of an eye, when you were still a little milk baby like Kang'er, and you were about to get married in a blink of an eye, I should be happy for you, but when I think of you marrying in the palace, I feel bad for my mother, there are too many pickled facts in the courtyard of the deep house, and my mother doesn't want you to live so tired......"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and Xia Mengning patted Ge's hand, "Mother, you don't have to worry, your daughter will take good care of herself." ”

At this moment, Jiu'er walked in and handed over the invitation, Xia Mengning opened it and looked at it, and said, "The tea party in Dingxi Palace?" ”
