Tomorrow is the day when Xia Mengxi is going to marry Cheng Gu, seeing that things are imminent, Xia Chuanyuan only feels that it is very difficult in his heart, and Ning'er's method is not undesirable, after all, between Xiangfu and Xia Mengxi, giving up a daughter can be exchanged for the peace of Xiangfu and his righteous image in the eyes of everyone, this account can still be calculated.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan frowned, got up and walked out, Xiao Liuzi immediately followed, Xia Chuanyuan said without looking back: "You don't need to follow me, I'll go to Rongfutang." ”

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly stopped, and after watching Xia Chuanyuan leave, Xiao Liuzi's eyes rolled, and he turned around and walked in the direction of Zhuzhiyuan.

Xia Mengning was practicing calligraphy in front of the window, in fact, she was no less anxious than Xia Chuanyuan, she had already proposed such a method, if Xia Chuanyuan adopted it, she would be considered a successful plan, if she didn't agree, she was afraid that she would be implicated.

When he hesitated to think about things, a drop of ink fell from the tip of the pen, smudging a stain on the white rice paper, Xia Mengning took a closer look and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this moment, there was a voice from outside, and after a while, Jiu'er pushed the door in and said, "Miss, the little sixth son next to the master is here, saying that he is looking for you for something." ”

Xia Mengning was stunned, and then said, "Let him come in, you go outside and guard, don't let others in." ”

Jiu'er went down in response, Xia Mengning tidied up her dress, sat on the small couch, and fiddled with the lilies in the bottle at will. ”

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Why be polite, hurry up." As he spoke, he personally poured a cup of tea for Xiao Liuzi, "You must have drunk a lot of expensive tea by your father's side, and I don't have any good tea here, only this newly picked mango needle after the rain, you drink some and try the taste." ”

Such an attitude made Xiao Liuzi's heart feel very comfortable, but in the end, he was also a person with a refined mind, so he immediately thought that these three young ladies must be thoughtful people, who can win people's hearts without informality, and this open-mindedness is really valuable.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liuzi hurriedly took the teacup respectfully, and did not sit down, after all, no matter how much people give themselves face, they are also slaves, how can slaves sit at the same table with their masters.

Xia Mengning saw Xiao Liuzi's demeanor, and she had a number in her heart, so she didn't think much about it, but said lightly: "Is it that Daddy has something to ask you to find me?" ”

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly shook his head, put down the teacup and said, "The master just went to Rongfutang." ”

The cup in Xia Mengning's hand was suddenly clenched, but her complexion did not change, she just smiled: "Oh? Daddy went to see his grandmother, I don't know what happened? ”

Xiao Liuzi secretly admired, a thirteen-year-old little girl, can do not be shocked, not panicked, is really not to be underestimated, at the moment, just smiled and said: "Isn't this just to inform the third lady, before the old lady went to the old lady, he whispered, 'Although it is reluctant, but it can only be like this', the little stupid, the third miss must have known it." ”

Xia Mengning's heart relaxed, thinking that his father had thought of something again, so he went to Rongfutang to discuss with his grandmother, but now it seems that his father has made a good idea in his heart, and he just wants to go to his grandmother to say something. ”

Xia Mengning smiled, took out a sachet embroidered with blessing characters from the sewing basket on the couch and handed it to Xiao Liuzi, "I'm sorry for you to come over and retreat, there are a few calming herbs in this sachet, which can also play a calming role at the head of the bed, I have one girl in this garden, don't dislike it." ”

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly took it, and her heart was beautiful, these three young ladies said that there was one girl in the garden, that is, she would treat herself as her own person from now on, thinking of this, Xiao Liuzi immediately showed an expression of comprehension, carefully put the sachet into the sleeve cage, and said with a smile: "The third lady is so gracious, and the little sixth son should remember it forever." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, and frowned for a moment, "Although Daddy has made up his mind, I can't guarantee that there will be another incident with my grandmother, if this matter is not resolved today, I am afraid it will be even more tricky in the future." ”

Xiao Liuzi nodded, "Third Miss must have already had a countermeasure......

Xia Mengning smiled undeniably: "In this matter, you still need to add more words from it." ”

When Xia Chuanyuan arrived at Rongfu Hall, he first told Xie that Cheng Gu was dead, but Xie just said with a pale face: "I know, just say it, how do you want to deal with this matter?" ”

Xie Shi's straightforward attitude made Xia Chuanyuan not know what to say, but things always have to be solved, and since he had to do this, he had to say it.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan told Xie Shi the solution, and before he finished speaking, Xie Shi's eyes widened angrily, "No, send the eldest daughter to the nunnery, you can figure it out." ”

Xia Chuanyuan's face was embarrassed, but he still pursed his mouth and kept silent, Xie saw his appearance, and knew in his heart that his son's temperament was a stubborn person, thinking of this, Xie felt that if he changed as strongly as before to refute his general, I am afraid that it would cause unnecessary alienation between mother and son.

"If you want to send Xi'er to the nunnery, then do you think that your wife will agree, even if you can settle it with the Fang family, then what about the Zhenguo Mansion, how can it be something that can be persuaded overnight?"

Xia Chuanyuan rubbed his fingers against the pattern on the tea bowl, "Mother, I know what you think in your heart, it's nothing more than that you don't want to offend the Zhenguo Mansion, but now the matter is imminent, you say, if you don't do this, what better way can you do?" ”

Xie Shi was told by Xia Chuanyuan, and his heart became unhappy, and his eyes became a little uneasy, and said: "Do you think that everything will be fine if you send Xi'er out, such a lie full of loopholes, people will not know in their hearts, do you treat everyone in the capital as a fool?" ”

Such a straightforward accusation made Xia Chuanyuan's face white, even if he proposed to send Xi'er to the nunnery, but his mother said that she didn't say that she was the one who only cared about the interests of her family, Xia Chuanyuan had some pimples in her heart, since she can remember, her mother is very strict with her education, when to eat and when to sleep, when to read, and even what friends she has made, she is all controlled by her mother, and she has no personal freedom at all. His children are all adults, but his mother still always wants to meddle in his own affairs, other people's mothers, this age is to enjoy the blessings of old age, but what about himself, although he is nearly forty years old, he is still like a child, no matter what he does, he must report to his mother before he can let go of it.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan's heart suddenly had a sense of rebellion, he was already so old, he didn't need his mother's instructions at all, not to mention that his mother's words had always been the same, many times, he said that he was discussing with himself, but in fact, in the end, it was her idea, he just had to do it according to her instructions, for so many years, he had never had a little freedom at all, on the contrary, he was more like a stick in his mother's hand, she said that where she went, she would go wherever she went, otherwise, she would live a restless life for a long time.

"Mother, my son has made up his mind about this matter, and I hope that my mother will not say more."

After speaking, Xia Chuanyuan stood up, Xie didn't expect his son, who had always been obedient, to speak to him like this, and immediately stopped him: "You come back for me." ”

Xu was used to being controlled by the Xie family since he was a child, and Xia Chuanyuan's body couldn't help but stop, but he still didn't turn around, just stopped in place.

Xie Shi got up from the chair, Chen's mother hurriedly came over to support her body, Xie Shi took the crutch, walked to Xia Chuanyuan tremblingly and said, "How?" Now you don't even listen to my words, do you, do you think I can harm you, everything I do, everything I think, is said in the way that our prime minister's mansion can do better, what attitude did you have just now, is it the attitude you should have towards your mother? ”

Hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan turned around and took a step back, bowed to the Xie clan and said, "It's the son's fault, don't be angry, take care of your body." ”

Xie's complexion improved, but it was still difficult to dispel the anger in his heart, "I don't agree with your approach, just because Xi'er is the eldest lady of our mansion, if you do this, others will not say it on their faces, and they are not sure what they will say about the young lady of our prime minister's mansion." ”

Seeing that Xia Chuanyuan was silent, Xie Shi looked at him, and the sense of superiority in his heart grew again, and he said with a majestic face: "In my opinion, this Cheng Gu is dead, but Xi'er has no way to marry again, it is inevitable that the people in the capital will talk nonsense, let's choose another one of the same age from the concubines in the house, marry that Cheng Gu, buy a house and let her go there to guard Cheng Gu, in this way, it is also decent, after all, there is no reason for the concubine to be widowed by the dead, this concubine, It can be regarded as a little bit of the heart of our Prime Minister's Mansion, and others can no longer question it, and you can also get a good reputation that is impartial and upright. ”

As soon as he said this, Xia Chuanyuan immediately raised his head and stared at Xie Shi, his lips trembling a little, "Then according to what my mother said, which young lady in the house is suitable?" ”

Although he asked like this, Xia Chuanyuan had already heard the meaning of Xie's words, You'er was still young, only Ning'er was only two years younger than Xi'er, and the meaning of her mother's words was to let Ning'er be widowed for her sister.

Ridiculous, ridiculous!

Not to mention that once this matter is put into action, it will be criticized by others, it is the relationship between Ning'er and the son, and he is not allowed to do it himself, how tense the situation is now, if he offends the son, I am afraid that he will not have a good life.

Xie Shi didn't understand the meaning of Xia Chuanyuan's words, but said with a pale face: "Ning'er is only two years younger than Xi'er, and she is only a concubine, so it is not impossible for her to be widowed on behalf of her sister." ”
