Chapter 167: Change of Heart (1)
The Wang family, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The old man spares his life, the old man spares his life, and the old slave is also afraid of delaying the luncheon......"
Xia Chuanyuan frowned and said, "Ning'er, you have always been in charge, how is this blood swallow distributed?" ”
Xia Mengning heard this, thought for a while and said: "Back to my father's words, this blood swallow has always only been available in your and grandmother's room, but the specific distribution is not clear, and the daughter does not know ......"
As he spoke, he looked at the other side and said, "But the blood swallow is a valuable thing, and my daughter has already arranged for someone to record it, Deng, you come out, read what you recorded to your father." ”
Standing in the crowd opposite, wearing a green cloth and white flower skirt, it was the Deng family who had met Xia Mengning that day.
I saw Deng Shi come out, took out a scroll of codex from his sleeve, and said: "If you go back to the master, the blood swallow is used to be prepared in your room and the old lady's room, but a few days ago, the fifth miss sent a girl to ask, and the girl next to the fifth miss said that the identity of the fifth miss is not a long time to be a concubine, and this blood swallow is enjoyable." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was immediately in an uproar, Xia Mengning took a look, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Daddy, my daughter will let them go and buy some blood swallows quickly, so as not to delay the start of the luncheon." ”
Xia Chuanyuan furrowed his eyebrows, looked at the Wei clan who was standing aside, and said, "What's going on?" Who said such unorthodox words? ”
Wei's face turned pale, and his face was immediately a little unbearable, Xia Mengning looked at Wei's face, and almost laughed.
Standing behind the Wei family are his sisters-in-law, originally the Wei family has already agreed with Xia Chuanyuan, and all the elders in the clan are present today, this is the matter of lifting the main room, so I will talk about it today, but now this situation really makes the Wei family a little unable to get off the stage.
Everyone was silent, but suddenly a man at the bottom smiled and said: "In my opinion, this is clearly someone who is jealous of Miss Xia San's right to be in charge, so he deliberately did it so that Miss Xia San could not get off the stage, but as everyone knows, this is really unorthodox but there are other people, Miss Xia San has won glory for the north country above the main hall, this mind and courage is to kill me, and I don't believe that it is Miss Xia San's fault." ”
Xia Mengning raised his eyes and looked at a man in blue who spoke, Xia Mengning looked at it, it seemed that he had seen him in the main hall last time, but he forgot who it was.
The man who spoke was Zheng Guogong's youngest grandson Zheng Donglin, Xia Mengning's outstanding performance in the main hall twice in a row had already made him fall in love with it, and now seeing that Xia Mengning was embarrassed, he stood up to help Xia Mengning speak.
Xia Mengning nodded in his direction and smiled in thanks.
Zheng Donglin was stunned for a moment, the beauty was fair-skinned and better than snow, and now she lowered her head slightly and smiled, it was really indescribable in words, and her soul was hooked all at once.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes, Xia Chuanyuan was angry, glared at Wei fiercely, and then turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Xia Chuanyuan left, and the others also left one after another, Xia Mengning smiled and ordered: "Don't clean up this place quickly, Zhulian, you take him to the steward's room to pay the silver, be quick, don't delay the opening of the banquet." ”
Everyone began to work one after another, Xia Mengning looked at the Wang family who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Say, why do you do this?" ”
Xia Mengning naturally knew that no one instructed the Wang family, in fact, even if there was no Wang family today, she was already ready to provoke this matter, the purpose was naturally not to want the Wei family to be carried out of the main room smoothly, and now although the Wang family came for herself, she also helped herself indirectly, so Xia Mengning had no hostility towards the Wang family.
Wang was stunned for a moment, thinking of Xia Meng's calm and relaxed expression and steady and sincere demeanor just now, he suddenly felt that his decision today was too hasty, the third young lady in front of him had already taken care of everything at the beginning, and he was still trying to touch her and cut her rights.
Xia Mengning looked at her and said, "Okay, let's go down." ”
Wang was stunned, he didn't expect Xia Mengning to spare her so much, and before he could react for a while, he saw that Xia Mengning had already turned around and left.
The luncheon officially began, and Xia Chuanyuan wanted to take the opportunity to announce the matter of the Wei family, but there was such a thing in front of him, Xia Chuanyuan thought about it again and again, and still suppressed this matter.
During the luncheon, Xia Mengning's true qi in his body had not yet recovered, and he couldn't raise his appetite while eating the delicious food in front of him, so he quietly left the banquet and returned to Zhuzhiyuan with Jiu'er in advance.
Jiu'er held Xia Mengning's arm, and stopped talking, Xia Mengning looked at her and said with a smile: "Why, I always speak freely on weekdays, why are I so hesitant today, between me, what else can't I say?" ”
Jiu'er smiled, took Xia Mengning's arm, the two got closer, although it was cold and snowy, the air was exceptionally fresh, Jiu'er said softly: "Miss, the slave thinks Wu Qing has been ...... recently." Something is wrong......"
Xia Mengning frowned, but still asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Jiu'er shook her head, "I can't say the specific slave maid, it's just that the smell on Wu Qing's body seems to have changed in the past few days, and besides, hasn't Miss noticed that Wu Qing always likes to stay around the prince these days......
In the end, Jiu'er's voice slowly decreased, Xia Mengning suddenly stood still, and said, "Jiu'er, if it's true, what do you say I should do?" ”
Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The prince only likes Miss alone, even if Wu Qing is his junior sister, but it is not as important as Miss in the heart of the prince......"
Xia Mengning smiled, "Feelings have never been obtained by pursuit, if there is fate, we will be together, I like to be at peace with what I encounter." ”
As the two were talking, they heard a sound of footsteps behind them, and as soon as Xia Mengning turned her head, she saw Tanglin Xingluo and Dong Wanwan standing together, followed by many famous ladies.
Xia Meng saw it, nodded slightly, but didn't look at it anymore, and turned to leave again.
Before Tanglin Xingluo could say anything, she heard Dong Wanwan on the side say: "What a young lady of the Xia family who has no eyesight, can't you see that the princess is still here?" ”
Xia Mengning turned her head and said, "Since you know that the princess is here, what is Miss Dong interjecting?" ”
Dong Wanwan was stunned for a moment, didn't answer, and Donglin Xingluo on the side said: "Xia Mengning, even if you make a marriage contract with the prince, you shouldn't talk to this princess like this, it's hard for you to even distinguish between respect and inferiority?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled, "The little girl has seen the princess, what does the princess have to say, if not, the little girl will leave first." ”
Tanglin Xingluo was swept away by Xia Mengning in public, and he was calculated by Xia Mengning last time, so he was already unhappy, but now he didn't care about it, rushed forward and grabbed Xia Mengning's shoulder.
If Xia Mengning was under normal circumstances, this palm would definitely be able to dodge it, but now because the gang leader Sun Yun had introduced Gu poison, the breath in his body had not yet been regulated, and the whole person was actually very weak.
Xia Mengning used a little force, and then got rid of Donglin Xingluo's hand, "What does this mean, princess?" On behalf of the Western Regions, declare war on the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the North? ”
This hat was buttoned down, so that Tanglin Xingluo instantly regained her senses, thinking that Donglin Mo had told her to stop acting rashly, Donglin Xingluo withdrew her hand and found herself a step down, "Forget it, this princess doesn't want to talk to you more, go!" ”
Dong Wanwan was a little unconvinced, "Princess, how can you spare her like this......"
Tanglin Xingluo frowned, "Let's go!" ”
Dong Wanwan raised her head and glanced at Xia Mengning hatefully, and finally had no other way, so she followed Tanglin Xingluo away.
As soon as the group of people left, Xia Mengning hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the big tree on the side, and Jiu'er also stepped forward to support Xia Mengning, worried: "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Xia Mengning shook his head, but he felt that the Gu poison in his body seemed to be a little stronger, and he could no longer control it according to his acupoint position, it seemed that soon after, this Zi Gu would also make himself miserable.
Xia Mengning thought so, and said, "Go back to the Bamboo Branch Garden, and I will do more pranayama." ”
In the Bamboo Branch Garden, the eldest grandson Yun received a letter from Xia Mengning and asked him to come here, he came, but he didn't see Xia Mengning, but he also knew that today was the day of Xia Zhikang's full moon wine, presumably Xia Mengning was busy greeting him in the front yard.
Eldest Sun Yun thought about it, it was better to wait for her first.
But the eldest grandson Yun pushed open the door and entered, but saw Wu Qing sitting on the edge of the porch in front of the door, holding the little rabbit in his arms. ”
Eldest Sun Yun smiled and said, "On weekdays, you always dress like a man, but now this outfit is really different, what's the matter, do you have someone you like?" ”
Wu Qing was rarely shy, lowered his head and said, "Senior brother laughs at me?" Where is there any interest? ”
Seeing Wu Qing's rare demeanor, the eldest grandson Yun became a little interested, and continued: "As the saying goes, women are the ones who please themselves, and you are always dressed differently than before these days, I guess, you must have a crush, right?" ”
Wu Qing smiled, but didn't answer, but asked, "Senior brother has seen the changes in me in the past few days?" ”
When Eldest Sun Yun heard this, he always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.
At this time, Wu Qing had already put down the little rabbit, took out a hairpin from his sleeve and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, look, this hairpin is beautiful?" ”
The eldest grandson Yun looked down and saw that what Wu Qing was holding in his hand was a plain silver hairpin, although the hairpin was not valuable, it was elegant and special, and the tassel was slightly poured down, making people feel the softness of the hairpin.
Eldest Sun Yun smiled, "I also said that I didn't like anyone, but you never want to bring a hairpin on weekdays." ”
Wu Qing smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Senior brother, come and help me put on the hairpin, see if I look good?" ”
Saying that, walking in front of Changsun Yun, although Wu Qing practiced martial arts and was much taller than Xia Mengning, standing in front of Changsun Yun, he was still a little shorter, with his head down, just able to reach the tip of Changsun Yun's nose.
Eldest Sun Yun stretched out his hand to take the hairpin, as if he regarded Wu Qing as a little sister, touched her hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "It looks natural with a hairpin." ”
As he spoke, he leaned over slightly, put the hairpin on Wu Qing's left side of the bun, and reached out to help Wu Qing smooth the tassel.
A trace of darkness flashed in Wu Qing's eyes, he looked at the two pairs of embroidered shoes at the gate, leaned forward slightly, and was about to pounce on Changsun Yun's body.
