Chapter 223: Meritorious Service

Xia Mengning's medicinal diet was quickly operated, mainly for these rich children and official ladies, Xia Mengning for convenience, but also provided a special person to come to the door to formulate a diet for him, which was sought after and loved by many people for a while.

The days are so peaceful, Xia Mengning is now famous in the capital, the Xia family's medicinal diet is named Jiancun Pavilion, and there are still a total of six shops in the capital, Xia Mengning and Li Yan have exhausted their hearts from purchase to matching, Xia Chuanyuan sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.

On this day, it is the main hall of the palace, in recent days, all the families in the capital have begun to give porridge, the refugees have been treated well, the emperor is happy, but unexpectedly, someone is willing to come out to make trouble.

"Emperor Qi, the minister thinks that our northern country is a big country with strict rules, and it is categorically that no woman can go out in business to show her face, and recently Prime Minister Xia's daughter has opened a medicinal diet in the capital, and often mixes with men, I am afraid that it will be seen by others, and it will insult the reputation of our northern country."

The person who spoke was none other than Dong Jiancheng, the squire of the Ministry of Officials.

When Xia Chuanyuan heard this, he was so angry that his beard was cocked, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the little girl is not as Dong Shilang said, the emperor is clear. ”

The eldest grandson Han squinted his eyes and didn't make a sound, Dong Jiancheng was even more proud in his heart, and said: "It's understandable that Xia Cheng loves his daughter so much, but it's not good to indulge his daughter with these bad rules because of selfishness." ”

Xia Chuanyuan turned his head abruptly and said, "Which eye of yours saw what happened to my family Ning'er?" If there is evidence, it is said that an elder speaks to attack a junior, and she is a weak woman, and she is not ashamed to speak so loudly, which is really disrespectful to the elder. ”

Dong Jiancheng was blocked back, and the eldest grandson Han saw it, and said: "Okay, okay, I have also heard about Prime Minister Xia's daughter's business, how can I have evidence to speak, Dong Aiqing, do you have evidence of Miss Xia's unruliness?" ”

Dong Jiancheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this is what the old minister saw with his own eyes, besides, many people have seen the young lady of the Xia family walking back and forth on the street every day. ”

Xia Chuanyuan glanced at him, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do." ”

Eldest Sun Han stretched out his hand, "Speak." ”

Xia Chuanyuan said: "The little girl has always abided by her duty, has always strictly abided by the woman's moral conduct, a while ago the old minister went back to tell her about the drought inadvertently, she volunteered to take care of the shop, this period of time, the little girl is busy day and night, everything is done by herself, in addition to deducting the wages and various capital expenses of the guys in the shop, all the profits of the little girl are handed over to the old minister, let the old minister hand over to the treasury, to build houses and soup kitchens for refugees. ”

As he spoke, Xia Chuanyuan took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve cage and presented them with both hands, "Your Majesty, the silver tickets are all here, if any of the adults present still have questions in their hearts, they can go to the old minister's house at any time to take a look at the account book." ”

After saying this, everyone present was stunned, and Changsun Han was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's rare that I have such a woman in the court, and she doesn't lose to a man at all, it's really commendable." ”

Dong Jiancheng didn't expect this, he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, Changsun Han glanced at him and said: "Dong Aiqing, don't chase the wind and catch the shadow when you speak in the future, a woman's reputation is the most important, Miss Xia has this heart, will she still do the kind of thing you said?" ”

Although the words were faint reproaches, the tone in them had already made Dong Jiancheng shudder, and he felt a little cold sweat on his back, and hurriedly kowtowed.

Xia Chuanyuan went down to the court, and after returning to the house, he first returned to Yong'an Hall, Xia Mengning was waiting in Yong'an Hall, and when he saw Xia Chuanyuan coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Daddy, how is it?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan smiled faintly, gave Xiao Liuzi a look and asked him to guard outside the door, then sat on the chair and said, "If it's really as you said, the emperor knows." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, seeing that Xia Chuanyuan's expression was not good-looking, he said with relief: "Daddy, don't worry, although we have given this profit to the royal family now, once this matter spreads, it will definitely create momentum for our Jiancun Pavilion, and our business will be better in the future." ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, and said: "Dong Jiancheng, this old thing, is really investigating us secretly, Ning'er, what good way do you have, we can't sit still." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "Daddy doesn't have to worry, let's not sit still, let's wait for the rabbit, if he doesn't act, we won't react, Daddy rest assured, in the end, they will not be able to bear it first, since we have insight into his scheming, just wait over there." ”

In the afternoon, the emperor's holy decree came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Xia Mengning, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is virtuous and virtuous, and contributes to the country, but in fact she is an example for women in the north, and she is specially named the second grade and the lord of the county." ”

Xia Mengning thanked her, and the eunuch who came to announce the decree moved up the items rewarded by the emperor, and everyone looked at Xia Mengning with admiration, and they all knew that now in the house, Xia Mengning is really alone.

In the Swift Pavilion, Wei sat on the couch, stirring the handkerchief with both hands, and Zhang's mother on the side said, "Auntie, relax, we still have a chance." ”

Wei Shi bit his lip, "At the beginning, I sold the shop for gold ornaments and helped the master raise so much silver, but what benefits did I get?" If it weren't for being victimized by Xia Mengning in the back, I would already be the lady of the main room at this time, why bother guarding in this small swift pavilion, and I didn't even dare to go out of the door. ”

Mother Zhang sighed, poured a cup of hot tea, and said earnestly: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, aunt remember." ”

Wei Shi bit his lip stubbornly, and after a while, he slowly regained his expression, "I know, what, I have endured it for so many years, and even Ran'er has neglected it, so that one day I can sit in the seat of the main room and raise my eyebrows well." ”

Zhang's mother nodded, and Wei said: "Now that the eldest young master is dead, that Xiaoshun, you let Du'er solve him, he knows too many things." ”

Mother Zhang was stunned, Wei Shi keenly caught her expression, and said: "I know that you introduced Xiaoshun to me at that time, but you should also know that only dead people can't speak, I can't bet, I want nothing wrong." ”

Zhang's mother nodded and said, "The old slave will do it." ”

After saying that, he bowed his head and withdrew.

In the mansion of King Mojun, Donglin Xingluo is sitting on the couch eating crystal grapes, although she is a woman, she is still a princess's style, and the girl on the side is holding a cyan porcelain plate in her hand, which is used to pick up the grape seeds spit out by Tanglin Xingluo.

Under the small couch, there was a woman kneeling in a cloud-colored dress, the woman was charming and lovely, with a pair of beautiful starry eyes on a palm-sized face, even if she stood there without speaking, it made people feel that they wanted to protect.

This woman is the concubine of Changsun Mo, called Luo'er, who entered the mansion a year earlier than Dongling Xingluo, and is very favored by Changsun Mo.

has been kneeling for several hours, Luo'er felt that her knees had a faint pain, and couldn't help but reach out and gently rub it, Donglin Xingluo, who was sitting on the couch and eating grapes, looked cold, grabbed the tea bowl on the side and threw it on Luo'er's head, the action was so fast that there was no way to dodge, Luo'er was smashed on the head by the teacup, and her head was suddenly bleeding.

Seeing this, Tanglin Xingluo smiled and said: "Damn bitch, this princess will let you kneel for a while, you can't stand it, take Qiao is quite good at taking it, and I don't look at what kind of goods I am, a tattered thing that came out of the green building, I don't know how many men have played with it, and what kind of high-ranking ...... is it with this princess here."

Luo'er covered her head, feeling that the wound on her head was painful, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to kneel on the ground obediently.

When Tanglin Xingluo saw her appearance, she was very proud, and she was about to say a few words to sarcastically mock Luo'er, when she heard a report from the girl outside the door: "King Mojun is here." ”
