Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Mengning got up, Zhu Lian finished washing up, and combed a small bud bun for her, Xia Mengning looked at the person in the mirror, and shook her head at Zhu Lian, "Don't be too cumbersome, today is to make a vow, not too gorgeous." ”

Saying that, from the few jewelry in the box, I picked a green jade hairpin with carved petals, the hairpin is not very exquisite, but the design of the petals and tassels is very chic, Xia Mengning dismantled the bun, took half of the green silk and held it lightly in the ear, and wore the hairpin at the edge of the oblique bun, and the white tassel hung down on the side of the ear, like the white lotus blooming on the bluestone, reflecting the white skin like jade, which was very impressive.

Zhu Lian was stunned, "Miss looks so good dressed like this, just like ...... It's like ......"

After talking for a long time but couldn't say an adjective, Xia Meng lightly applied pale lipstick, and asked Zhulian to take out the short oblique moon-white blouse and the moon-white long skirt embroidered with water lilies from the box, and wore a light green cardigan coat outside, and tied a snow-blue wide-brimmed brocade belt around her waist.

First went to Rongfu Hall to ask for peace, but as expected, he didn't meet Fang's mother and daughter, Xia Mengning told Xie again about his going to Jingming Temple today, Xie nodded and said to Chen's mother beside him, "You go to the front yard to talk to the prime minister, and let him send a few capable guards to escort him." ”

Xia Mengning thanked him and walked out of Rongfutang with Chen's mother.

"So I'm going to trouble Chen's mother." Xia Mengning said to Chen's mother with a smile on her face: "Chen's mother looks much better today." ”

Mother Chen hurriedly thanked her, "I also want to thank Miss San for her medicinal materials, in fact, the old slave is a subordinate, there is no need to use such a precious thing." ”

Xia Mengning interrupted her, "What did Mother Chen say, you are a close person to your grandmother, and a trip can represent your grandmother's face, you have been doing your best to take care of your grandmother for so many years, and Ning'er respects you in her heart." ”

When such a remark came out, Rao is a steady person like Chen's mother also showed joy on his face, and said that he didn't dare, Xia Mengning smiled, "I also want to trouble Chen's mother to thank Ning'er when she goes to Yong'an Hall, Daddy has been busy with government recently, and Ning'er really can't bother more." Chen's mother nodded, Xia Mengning and Zhu Lian went back to the bamboo branch garden, and put on their yarn hats after packing up.

Mother Chen walked into Yong'an Hall, and the guards outside the door saw it, and immediately stepped forward with a look in their eyes, "Hello Mother Chen, is this coming?" ”

Mother Chen nodded, "It was the old lady who asked me to come to the Prime Minister." ”

Entering the house, Xia Chuanyuan was sitting at the table, and Chen's mother hurriedly bowed, "The old lady called the slave maid to tell the master that the third lady is going to Jingming Temple to repay her vows and pray for the blessings of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Xia Chuanyuan's face softened, "I know, I'll let people prepare the carriage and send a few more guards, it's okay to come, you go back to your mother." ”

Mother Chen walked out, and as soon as she arrived at the Bamboo Branch Garden, she saw that Xia Mengning had already packed up and stood under the tree in the courtyard, Zhu Lian and Mother Xin were standing behind her, and when she saw Mother Chen coming, she smiled and said, "Okay?" What did Daddy say? ”

Chen's mother told Xia Mengning what she said, and led her to the front yard, where the carriage had already been prepared, the cyan fabric was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and the four corners were hung with blessing drapery, although it was not luxurious, but it could also be seen that it was not something that ordinary people could use.

Xia Mengning was helped by Zhulian to the carriage, and after sitting down, she said to Mother Xin on the side, "Mother Xin will be my mother in charge of the yard in the future, and Ning Er will not treat you badly if she remembers your kindness." ”

Mother Xin bowed her head, "The third lady has tormented the slave maid, where can the slave and maid afford it." Xia Mengning smiled, her face was gentle, and the Zhulian next to her was just looking at the situation and not saying anything because she had passed the qi last night.

The carriage traveled at a moderate speed, and Zhu Lian sat beside Xia Mengning and asked in a low voice, "Miss want to squint, it's still far away from Jingming Temple." Xia Mengning was not sleepy, but she had a plan in her heart, so she just nodded at the moment, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

The words he said to Dr. Wu yesterday, he must have said it to Wu Qing when he went home, then Wu Qing himself knew that he was a strong and upright person in his previous life, and if he wanted to subdue her, he would naturally have to work hard, thinking of this, Xia Mengning smiled slightly in his heart, otherwise, why did he come out today to make a vow.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound outside, and the carriage stopped, Zhu Lian poked her head out to take a look, turned around and said to Xia Mengning: "Miss, there are so many people on the road ahead, I'm afraid this carriage won't be able to pass." ”

Xia Mengning opened her eyes, and at this time, the voice of a guard came from outside, "Third Miss, there seems to be something going on on the road ahead, there are too many people blocking the road." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, picked up the gauze hat on the side and put it on for herself, and said to Zhulian: "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." ”

Stepping out of the carriage, because there were guards to protect her, Xia Mengning was sandwiched between Xin's mother and Zhu Lian, so she easily walked to the middle of the crowd in front of her, and as soon as she walked to an open place, Xia Mengning saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the road, holding a small child in her arms, crying and shouting, "There is no reason, in broad daylight, someone dares to commit murder on the street, you all give a judgment." ”

A man standing in the middle, dressed in an ordinary blue cloth coat, holding a pair of wooden sticks in his hand, his eyes were red, "Don't talk nonsense, it was you who told me that someone robbed your silver, and I chased it out, and I returned the silver to you, how can you say that I robbed it?" ”

The middle-aged woman was unmoved, just hugged the child and cried, "We orphans and widows, sold our family property and came to the capital to join our relatives, you who killed a thousand knives, you want to bully us, today I will not spare you, go, go to see the official master, let him judge." ”

The man frowned, and shook off the woman's hand at once, "What are you doing, you said that I helped you get it back, that thief has already escaped, how can you blame me." ”

At this time, the child in the arms of the middle-aged woman began to cry, and the woman hugged the child and cried, "You are bullying others, and you want to bully us when you see that our orphans and widows have no power. ”

The people around were angry and blamed.

"It's shameless for a big man to bully other orphans and widows."

"Yes, yes, looking good, how can you do such a thing?" A group of people are making a lot of noise, and they are about to make more and more trouble, the corners of Xia Mengning's mouth are hooked, this person is really interesting.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengning looked at the man standing in the middle of the crowd, although his face was panicked, his eyes were calm, but the woman sitting on the ground, although she was crying, the child in her arms had already stopped crying, Xia Mengning saw that the bottom of the woman's gray cloth skirt showed a sharp corner, which seemed to flash in the sun, and she had a number in her heart.

The people over there were already dissatisfied with the man's attitude and wanted to tie him up to go to the government, but Xia Mengning here stood up and said in a cool voice: "Wait, this son is wronged." ”
