Liu Xiangxue was unhappy in her heart, and her mouth became powerful, "Xiangyun, why do you say that, is it possible that even you can't look down on your young lady now?" ”

Xiangyun saw that Liu Xiangxue was angry, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, Miss, Xiangyun has been following you for so long, how can I look down on you, Xiangyun said this, it was completely for the sake of you, Miss." ”

Saying that, Xiangyun hurriedly explained: "Miss, the slave maid has been in the house for the past few days, but I have found out a lot of news, we can stay here now, but what the third miss said, the third miss's mother used to be a concubine, and it was by borrowing the light of the third miss that she was promoted to a flat wife by the emperor, which was given by the emperor, and it must not be so easy to bring down." ”

Liu Xiangxue listened to Xiangyun's words, frowned, and said, "Third Miss? ”

Xiangyun nodded, "Yes, we haven't seen her face, but everyone in this house knows how powerful the third lady is, and when the slaves and maids look at those girls and mothers-in-law talking about the third miss, they are really scared." ”

Liu Xiangxue frowned, if Xia Chuanyuan had such a character by his side, it would be tricky.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiangxue still said: "How do you know if you haven't tried it, your young lady and I are young and beautiful, if I stay by Xia Chuansheng's side so willingly, I will really regret dying." ”

Xiangyun was scared and didn't want Liu Xiangxue to take risks, "Miss......"

Liu Xiangxue stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiangyun's hand, and said: "Xiangyun, I'll give it a try, if it doesn't work, it can be regarded as breaking my thoughts, if it happens, then our good days in the future will come." ”

Xiangyun saw that Liu Xiangxue insisted on this, so it was difficult to persuade him again.

At dinner, Xie called Xia Chuanyuan to Yong'an Hall to have dinner together, Xia Chuansheng was also there, seeing Xia Chuanyuan coming, Xia Chuansheng didn't care much, and called 'big brother' lightly, and then lowered his head to tease the canary in the cage.

The girls put the food on the table, Xia Chuanyuan sat on the side, in fact, he was a little happy in his heart, after all, in his heart, no matter how bad Xie was to him, he was also his mother, he watched Xie treat Xia Chuansheng like this, in fact, he was also jealous in his heart, but he couldn't get over his face, so he didn't show it, and now seeing that Xie called him to eat with Xia Chuansheng, Xia Chuanyuan felt a little comforted in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

Xie Shi was unusually enthusiastic, and she had been enthusiastically sandwiching dishes for Xia Chuanyuan during the period, although she didn't know that Xia Chuanyuan never ate garlic, but she still gave Xia Chuanyuan a few pieces of garlic chicken wings.

Xiao Liuzi stood behind Xia Chuanyuan, habitually wanting to take him away, but Xia Chuanyuan stretched out his chopsticks and ate those chicken wings.

Xiao Liuzi was very surprised in his heart, and he also withdrew his hand, and sighed silently in his heart.

Xia Chuanyuan's filial piety to the Xie family is really commendable.

Xie Shi smiled and sandwiched the dishes between the two of them, and he was very happy to eat a meal, and Xia Chuanyuan's eyebrows were also relaxed.

After eating, the girls served the seasonal fruits and fragrant tea that had already been cut, Xie Shi saw that Xia Chuanyuan seemed to be in a good mood, so he paused and said, "Yuan'er, you have also heard about your second brother, right?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan held the hand of fragrant tea for a moment, and felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, Xie Shi immediately said: "Qian's cheap hoof, he didn't forget to harm Sheng'er when he died, now it's okay, no one in the capital dares to tell Sheng'er about matchmaking, poor Sheng'er is less than forty years old, so it's delayed, Yuan'er, what should you do about this?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan's brows furrowed, and his heart slowly cooled, it turned out that this face-friendly meal was such an intention.

Xie Shi didn't notice anything else, and said to himself: "Yuan'er, my mother called you here, I just want to ask you to help your second brother, you are the prime minister, come forward to find those officials, and tell your second brother about their daughters, after all, you will be the main room, and you will not wronged them......"

As he spoke, Xie Shi brought a stack of rosters to Xia Chuanyuan from the side, "Na, I have decided on this candidate, and I have also inquired, the fathers of these people are all your subordinates, as long as you speak, they dare not disobey ......"

Xie Shi said cracklingly, and finally felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw Xia Chuanyuan looking at him gloomily, Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yuan'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan smiled silently and said, "What's wrong?" Mother, why don't you think about the child, once this thing is done, the child's official position, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep it. ”

Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Xia Chuanyuan continue: "I originally thought that my mother was here to ask me to eat today, it turned out that my mother was for the second brother's business, and my mother only had the second brother in her heart, the child's official position, everything in the prime minister's house, in the eyes of my mother, is it not as important as the marriage of the second brother?" ”

Xie Shi was stunned, seeing that Xia Chuanyuan was getting more and more energetic, he was also annoyed, and slapped his hand on the table, and said, "Bold, how can you talk to your mother like this?" As an elder brother, what about helping your second brother, isn't it possible to see him continue like this, what kind of psychology do you have, you don't even help your own brother, what about your conscience? ”

Xia Chuanyuan smiled bitterly, "Mother, you know that the second brother's matter is now spread all over the capital, and which young lady will be willing to marry the second brother, if I do it according to my mother's method, I am afraid that these people will hate the child, and now the situation in the DPRK and China is tense, if the person with a heart adds fuel and vinegar to the saint and says it, that child really has to return to his hometown." ”

Xie Shi was stunned and muttered: "You are the prime minister, you can't do this little thing, what are you doing with this prime minister, according to what you say, isn't our prime minister's mansion going to be the last one?" ”

This last sentence made Xia Chuanyuan furious, and he stood up suddenly, startling Xie Shi and Xia Chuansheng, who was silent on the side, a big start.

"Mother, how did the reputation of the second brother get out, the mother and the second brother both knew in their hearts, if you didn't insist on abandoning the Qian family, then this incident would not have happened, and my Kang'er and Du'er are still alive, and our prime minister's mansion will never be over!"

After speaking, Xia Chuanyuan turned around and walked out, Xie was furious in his heart, and chased after him: "What Kang'er Du'er is, it's not my grandson, I only recognize the grandson I like......"

Xie Shi also said the words in his heart, this heart was straightforward, and he was also stunned, but when she reacted that this sentence would offend Xia Chuanyuan, Xia Chuanyuan had already turned around, and a pair of blood-red eyes looked at Xie Shi coldly, that look contained disappointment, shock, and anger, and Xie Shi was a little chilled, and after a while, Xia Chuanyuan turned around suddenly and strode out.

Xie Shi was stared at by Xia Chuanyuan's eyes, and swept the teacups and bowls to the ground with a weak heart, "Evil obstacles, all these years you have raised such a beast who doesn't know the height of the sky, what a sin...... Iniquity......"

Xie Shi said, his body was a little unstable, Xia Chuansheng sat on the side and looked at it coldly, and did not say anything, Chen's mother hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie's body, and said, "Old lady, old lady, are you okay?" ”

Xie Shi shook his body, "Headache, go into the house and lie down......"

The two big girls on the side hurriedly came over to help support Xie Shi and walked to the back room.

Xia Chuansheng looked at it, stood up and walked to the side, took two peanuts from the plate and threw them into his mouth, chewing and leaving with a smile.

In his opinion, Xie's just can talk and pretend, since he entered the mansion, but he didn't get a little benefit, although this food and clothing was paid by Xie's money, but Xie has been the old lady of Xiangfu for so many years, and the money in her hand is more than this, she is simply stingy, so she took such a little bit out and made an appearance in front of herself.

Xia Chuansheng snorted disdainfully while thinking about it, thinking about how to pull out all the money in Xie's hand.

Xiangyun took the basket and wandered in the garden, behind a wall on the west side of the garden is the Rongfu Hall of the Xie family, this garden is not planted with flowers and plants, and few people usually come here to hang out, Xiangyun saw that there was no one around, so he quietly leaned against the wall and listened carefully to the movement in the Rongfu Hall.

After a while, Xiangyun hurriedly left the garden, returned to Zhu Mengxuan, and said, "Miss, the master is out." ”

Liu Xiangxue was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the burden and walked out, Xiangyun hurriedly stepped forward to tidy up Liu Xiangxue's clothes, Liu Xiangxue smiled: "You have to help me control the wind." ”

Xiangyun nodded and walked out with Liu Xiangxue.

The night is charming, the cold moonlight is sprinkled on the ground, a beautiful scenery, Xia Chuanyuan walked in the garden with his hands behind his back, feeling melancholy and sad, Xie Shi's words just now seemed to be still in his ears, Xia Chuanyuan twisted his eyebrows, sighed, and felt disheartened.

How much he envied Xia Chuansheng in his heart, he could get his mother's love, but why, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get Xie's eyes.

The value of his own existence may be for the second brother to be better in the future, when Xia Chuanyuan thought of this, he felt a strong sadness in his heart, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed lowly.

At this moment, a small cry came with the wind, Xia Chuanyuan was stunned, looked fixedly, and saw that not far from the river, there was a woman squatting on the ground, as if the person crying was her.

Perhaps in the same mood, Xia Chuanyuan walked over silently and asked, "Who are you, why are you crying here in the middle of the night?" ”

The voice seemed to alarm the woman, and the woman stood up like a frightened rabbit, hurriedly wiped two handfuls of tears, and when she looked at Xia Chuanyuan, she said softly: "Xiangxue has seen the master." ”

Xia Chuanyuan was stunned for a moment, only to find that the person in front of him was Liu Xiangxue who met in the garden that day, Xia Chuanyuan was slightly moved in his heart, Liu Xiangxue was dressed in plain clothes at the moment, the moon-white skirt corner rolled goose yellow edges, simple but exquisite, the green silk was pulled up at the back of the head, most of it was draped on the shoulders, a small white flower was pinned to the sideburns, extremely plain dress, but it was even more set off the woman's delicate face, the big wet eyes flashed with a moving luster, and at this moment looked at Xia Chuanyuan softly, Xia Chuanyuan felt as if his heart was being gently touched by a soft and invisible little hand.

Xia Chuanyuan came back to his senses, took a few steps forward, sat on the grass by the river, and said, "Why are you crying here, are you encountering any difficulties?" ”

Liu Xiangxue stood in place and said in a low voice: "No, in fact, today is ...... It was the death day of Xiangxue's mother, Xiangxue sent people under the fence, and she didn't dare to burn paper for her mother, so she could only fold some paper boats with her own hands and put them on the river to comfort her mourning. ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, "I see." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the river and said, "If it's okay, sit down and talk to me." ”

Liu Xiangxue was stunned for a moment, and her heart was overjoyed, but her face was still soft, "Yes." ”

Sitting down next to Xia Chuanyuan, Liu Xiangxue's specially rubbed balm on her body drifted into Xia Chuanyuan's nose little by little with the breeze.

The sweet fragrance on his daughter's body was wrapped in a faint fragrance of flowers, Xia Chuanyuan turned his head, looked at Liu Xiangxue, and said with a smile: "What did you rub on your body, so fragrant?" ”

Liu Xiangxue's face turned red, and she lowered her head, revealing a snow-white neck, "The little girl has nothing to do, she likes to pick up the fallen petals and make her own balm." ”

Xia Chuanyuan smiled, "Hui Zhi Lanxin!" ”

In just four words, Liu Xiangxue's heart almost bloomed, and she lowered her head to hide the shyness on her face.

Xia Chuanyuan looked at the river and said, "The world is impermanent, what you want, God will not necessarily give you." ”

Liu Xiangxue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Master, have you encountered something annoying?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, then shook his head again, "That's it, it's hard to say." ”

Liu Xiangxue looked at it, and said again: "Master, you are the prime minister of the dynasty, and you have to be in charge of the trivial affairs of the family, it is normal to have some troubles, Xiangxue is just a little woman, you can't do anything for the master, why don't Xiangxue dance casually for the master, how about letting the master relax?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan turned his head and looked at Liu Xiangxue, the woman's expectant gaze was as crystal as the sparkling water, because of expectations, Bei Yan gently bit her lower lip, this kind of look, as long as it is a man, she will not refuse.

Xia Chuanyuan finally spoke, "Okay! ”

Liu Xiangxue smiled and stood up, her biological mother was born in Qinglou, her dancing and singing voice are excellent, Liu Xiangxue has her mother's true inheritance, and she is naturally very good.

The woman's posture is beautiful, the green silk is gently blown by the breeze, the incredibly soft body keeps twisting and turning, every movement is so sultry, Xia Chuanyuan was fascinated, but he didn't find that Liu Xiangxue had quietly come to him, turned around, lowered his waist, this action was connected, Liu Xiangxue's eyes flashed a gleam, and then 'oops', the body fell back unsteadily.

Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled it, then grabbed her little hand and took her into his arms.

The four eyes were facing each other, the woman was as angry as an orchid, and the faint fragrance of flowers on her body was close at hand, Xia Chuanyuan was intoxicated, leaned forward slightly, and made a gesture to kiss Liu Xiangxue, but Ge's deferential and soft face suddenly flashed in his mind, Xia Chuanyuan was shocked and hurriedly let go, but Liu Xiangxue was so made that she fell straight back.

Simply far away from the river, Liu Xiangxue just fell to the ground, Xia Chuanyuan had already stood up, and he didn't care about helping Liu Xiangxue, and said urgently: "I still have official business, I offended just now." ”

So saying, he fled away from the river.

As soon as Xia Chuanyuan left, Xiangyun, who was hiding in the shadows, hurriedly ran out to help Liu Xiangxue, and said worriedly: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Liu Xiangxue was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Xiangyun, you also saw it just now, the master has a good impression of me, but he is still concerned about the issue of identity, as long as we force it again, then success will be just around the corner." ”

Xiangyun nodded, but was still worried, "Miss, let's be careful." ”

Liu Xiangxue's heart has already blossomed, where does she care about Xiangyun's words, she has already quietly begun to predict herself in the future, marrying Xia Chuanyuan, then she will be the official wife, and the glory and wealth in the future will be inexhaustible.

Xiangyun helped Liu Xiangxue up and said with concern: "Miss, it's windy at night, let's go back quickly." ”

Liu Xiangxue nodded, and the master and servant walked back to Zhu Mengxuan, but they didn't notice that there was a person sitting on the big tree not far away, sitting cross-legged, looking at the two of them quietly.

The next day, Xia Mengning was sitting in front of the dresser and being served by Jiu'er to take care of the green silk, when she saw the door curtain lifted, Wu Qing walked in with a plate of snacks, Xia Mengning glanced at her from the mirror, and said, "Why have you practiced so diligently these days?" ”

Wu Qing replied while eating: "No way, I'm not good at dressing up, so I can practice sword dancing ......"

While speaking, Wu Qing said again: "Tsk, why do you say that my luck is so good, every time I practice on the tree, I can always see something......

Xia Mengning took the silver hairpin and put it on her bun, turned around and asked, "What's the matter, what happened?" ”

Wu Qing chuckled evilly while chewing on a snack, "Do you know the woman brought back from the second room, what is Liu Xiangxue's." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, "I haven't seen it, but I've heard Li Yan say that there is such a woman." ”

Jiu'er saw Wu Qing eating snacks and gobbling down, and brought tea to her intimately, Wu Qing smiled gratefully at Jiu'er, drank it in one gulp, wiped her mouth and said: "It's terrible, this woman's bottom is fine, I have found out clearly, saying that her father is a small pavilion chief, implicated in a case, beheaded, her father has a good relationship with the second room, so before he died, he entrusted this daughter to the second room, this second room is lustful, but this Liu Xiangxue also has a scheming, so many years, I was stunned to consume the second room, Guarding his own innocent body. ”

Xia Mengning listened and said: "The Xie family will not let Liu Xiangxue marry the second room, if she does, she will only accept the room and be a concubine, but since this Liu Xiangxue has the scheming to hold herself for so many years and has not been occupied by the second room, it means that this woman will not be willing to be a concubine." ”

Wu Qing nodded, "It's not, but you didn't expect that this Liu Xiangxue was arrogant, and she was unwilling to marry Xia Chuansheng, even if it was the main room, she couldn't look down on it." ”

Xia Mengning was a little surprised, and then understood something, Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning and said, "That's right, your father was looked at by her again." ”
