In front of the carved wooden window lattice, Liu's mother sat on the mahogany chair of the Eight Immortals, holding a teacup depicting the appearance of a carp playing in the water, gently pursed her lips and took a sip of tea, Liu's mother raised her eyelids and said, "I called you here today, I just want to ask you about something......

Kneeling at the bottom is the well-known matchmaker Wang in the capital, and now she is called by Liu's mother, and the matchmaker Wang is very worried, just kneeling at the bottom and responding gently.

Mother Liu coughed softly twice, put the teacup on the table aside, and said, "Have you heard anything about the eldest young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Wang's heart was stunned, and a little cold sweat oozed from her back, this day really came, Mrs. Wang raised her head, looked at Mother Liu, who was pale, swallowed her saliva, and said.

When it was almost noon, Mrs. Wang finished speaking, and Liu's mother was quite satisfied with her answer, and after repeatedly telling her not to tell others, she rewarded her with some silver money and ordered someone to send her out of the house.

Mrs. Wang went out of the house, so she felt less nervous, and walked home quickly, Xia Zhihan was already sitting there waiting for her.

"How?"

Xia Zhihan sat on the chair, played with the teacup in his hand, and asked.

Mrs. Wang smiled, "Everything is as expected by the eldest young master, the old man has already said according to the instructions of the eldest young master, and the lady seems to be very satisfied with the old man's words, and when she left, she also rewarded the old man with some money." ”

As he spoke, he took out a purse made of woven gold satin from his cuff and handed it over.

Xia Zhihan waved his hand, "You will put it away if you give it to you." ”

As he spoke, Xia Zhihan stood up, "As soon as there is news, notify me immediately." ”

After saying that, he walked out with his feet up.

Liu's mother ordered someone to send away Mrs. Wang, and hurriedly went to Liu Zuoyan's study.

"I've seen the eldest lady!" There was a little girl at the door who saluted respectfully, Liu's mother's surname was Mu, and she was just an aunt, because of her relationship with Liu Zuoyan, she was carried to the main room after the death of the original big house.

Mu Shi looked at the little girl's expression, slightly disdainful, and asked, "Which room are you from, and why are you serving here?" ”

The little girl's expression changed, and she was a little nervous, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "If you go back to the eldest lady, the slave maid was originally serving in Aunt Yue's house. ”

Mu Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his voice became a little harsh, "The girl in Aunt Yue's room, why did she come to the master's study without permission, what, what kind of place do you think of this place, the study is heavy, can you come casually?" ”

The close figure behind the Mu clan immediately took a few steps forward and said solemnly: "Why don't you get out of here, what are you doing here, do you want the master to call the shots for you?" ”

The girl looked stunned, her water-like eyes were instantly stained with a little water stains, and her red eyes made people look pitiful, and she was really a beautiful beauty.

Mu Shi saw this scene, her brows furrowed, what she was most unaccustomed to seeing was these restless girls, how could she see it behind her, and hurriedly glanced at a few little girls on the side, and several little girls immediately stepped forward, one by one, and set up the girl.

At this moment, the closed door of the study was opened, and Liu Zuoyan, who was dressed in a navy blue round-necked robe, walked out, frowned at the movement of the scene, and said, "What's the matter, what are you arguing at the door of the study?" ”

Mu's eyelids drooped and he didn't look at Liu Zuoyan's expression.

When the girl saw Liu Zuoyan come out, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she was hidden again.

"Sir...... Don't blame Madame...... It's a slave who is not good......"

As he spoke, a fair-skinned face did rise, facing Liu Zuoyan, revealing a pitiful expression.

Mu raised his head and walked to Liu Zuoyan's side, and said softly: "Master, the concubine has something to say to you." ”

Liu Zuoyan frowned and nodded, but said coldly to the coquettish girl outside the door: "You, you are not allowed to appear around the study in the future." ”

With that, he entered the study with Mu and closed the door.

Such a sentence directly cut off the girl's thoughts, and Mu's personal body smiled and said, "Let's go, didn't you hear the master's order?" ”

Mu told Liu Zuoyan what he thought and what he heard, he thought he would object, but after Liu Zuoyan heard it, he nodded unexpectedly, "I have also heard of this eldest young master of the Xia family, although he was demoted, but there are really a lot of evaluations of him in the capital, and they all say that he is a frank person, and bluntly rejected the daughter of the Shilang Mansion, if he can form a pair with Han'er, it is also a good match." ”

Mu Shi smiled, "The concubine thinks the same way." ”

The two went back and forth, and decided on this marriage, just waiting for Xia Zhihan to propose.

The next day, Xia Mengning had breakfast, and then went to Mei Fangyuan to visit Ge's family, the Wei family has been very quiet recently, and even Donglin Mo and Donglin Xingluo, who are very noisy, have also settled down a lot.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er walked on the gravel road in the garden, and by the way, they listened to Jiu'er report to themselves about the recent things in the house, Xia Mengning shook her head slightly, and said: "After calm, there will be cats, in my opinion, this Wei and Donglin Mo are not fuel-efficient lamps." ”

Jiu'er walked aside and comforted: "Miss don't worry, at least, we don't have no hole cards in our hands." ”

Xia Mengning nodded and asked, "Then the Deng family comes to our garden every few days to report the situation, you look at her, if she can be reused, she will be brought over early." ”

Jiu'er nodded, and while the two were talking, they had already come to Mei Fangyuan, walked into the courtyard, and the little girl standing at the door hurriedly changed, "The slave has seen the third lady." ”

Xia Mengning paused, deliberately glanced at the little girl, the little girl had a pretty pink face, and I felt pity for the pointed chin, Xia Mengning smiled and asked softly, "Are you new here?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”

The little girl hurriedly responded, "Back to the third lady's words, the slave and maid Qingling have just arrived at the house." ”

Xia Mengning took a closer look, this girl not only had a good face, but also had an excellent figure, and the ordinary maid's clothes seemed to have been changed by her, which more and more set off her delicate figure, and then looked at the eyebrows, there was actually a little bit of charm.

Xia Mengning secretly paid attention to her heart, this new girl was not a clean person.

Walking into the house, Xia Mengning saw Ge Shi sitting on the bed and leaning on the side of the bed, Xia Chuanyuan was holding Xia Zhikang and teasing, and there was only one girl standing in the room.

"I've seen Daddy, Mother."

Xia Mengning couldn't forget the etiquette, Xia Chuanyuan saw her coming, and said with a smile: "Ning'er is also here, just right, this full moon wine banquet, you can also come and take a look." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, walked over and sat on the chair and gently looked through the arrangements and lists of the banquet, looked at it for a long time, and then said with a smile: "This process is really well arranged, no leaks are missed, and the time is staggered, I don't know who has such ingenuity." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head with a smile and looked at Xia Chuanyuan.
