Chapter 201: Happy Events (2)
Because Zheng Ruilan is still sick, Xia Mengran can't dress up too flamboyantly when she goes to ask for peace, but after all, she is a bride, and she can't be too shabby, so Xiao Lu chose left and right, and gave Xia Mengran a peacock silver wing, and the dazzling emerald gems were inlaid on the peacock's eyes, which looked low-key and luxurious.
Xia Mengran wore a new aqua blue dress, had breakfast under Xiao Lu's waiting, and then walked slowly towards Zheng Ruilan's Rui Laixuan.
Along the way, everyone was very curious about this recently famous Aunt Ran, and they all took a sneaky look, Xia Mengran pretended not to see it, and walked all the way to Rui Laixuan.
When the little girl at the door saw it, she hurriedly saluted and said, "The slave has seen Aunt Ran." ”
Xia Mengran glanced at her and said coldly, "I'm going to go in and give tea to the second lady." ”
The little girl hurriedly said: "If you go back to your aunt, the second lady is asleep, so you might as well come back another day." ”
Xia Mengran was already holding back the anger in her belly, but now when she saw a little girl who dared to give herself a closed door, she couldn't help but be angry, and she reached out and waved it over without thinking about it, and slapped the girl hard.
"Ahh The girl didn't expect Xia Mengran to make a move, and she fell next to the potted plant on the side without standing firmly, hit her head on the bottom of the potted plant, and bled all of a sudden.
"What for?!"
At this moment, the angry eldest grandson came out of it, and when he saw this scene, he shouted at Xia Mengran.
Xia Mengran's face was terrified, "The concubine body is not intentional, the concubine body is not intentional......" said while giving Xiao Lu a look behind him.
Xiao Lu hurriedly knelt down and said eagerly: "Second master, my aunt was thinking of coming to ask the second lady for peace, but this girl said that my aunt was low, so she didn't let my aunt in, and pushed her aunt, so she fell down during this dispute......"
The eldest grandson frowned, looked at the unconscious little girl on the ground, and said, "Come on, drag her down for me." ”
After all, the eldest grandson lived in the barracks all the year round, and he didn't understand the open and secret battles of the women in the house, so he easily believed Xia Mengran's words.
After speaking, he looked at Xia Mengran again and said, "You go back, you don't have to serve tea today, it's not too late to come back when Lan'er is well." ”
Xia Mengran nodded respectfully and retreated with Xiao Lu.
The eldest grandson returned to the house, Zheng Ruilan was leaning on the bed, although he was sick these days, but fortunately, the eldest grandson was by his side and took care of him, Zheng Ruilan's heart also felt a lot better, plus drinking medicine, this body has also improved a little, and it is no longer as haggard as the day before yesterday.
As soon as the eldest grandson entered the door, he saw Zheng Ruilan leaning on the bed, and hurriedly covered her with a quilt, "Why did you sit up and not lie down for a while?" ”
Zheng Ruilan shook her head, "Always lying down, I feel that my body bones are about to stiffen." ”
The girl on the side smiled, "Madame, I want to go out to play." ”
The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment and asked, "Go play?" ”
Zheng Ruilan pursed her lips and smiled, "The second master doesn't know, when the concubine used to be at home, she liked to go to the mountain to worship the Buddha the most, this spring season, everywhere is warm, the concubine wants to go to the Jingming Temple to worship, and ask for peace for the second master and the palace." ”
The eldest grandson has always felt sorry for Zheng Ruilan in his heart, but now when he heard her say this, he said gently: "Okay, I'll take you there, but first you have to take care of your body first." ”
"Really?" Zheng Ruilan's eyes widened, looking at the eldest grandson in disbelief, his eyes were shining like a child, the eldest grandson's heart was soft, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub Zheng Ruilan's hair, it was an unintentional move, but he didn't expect that this woman's hair was softer than the brocade, so that the eldest grandson couldn't stop.
Zheng Ruilan couldn't help blushing her cheeks, lowered her head and said shyly: "Second master, ...... are you?"
The eldest grandson hurriedly withdrew his hand and said again and again: "I'm sorry, I just ...... Just ......"
After talking for a long time, he couldn't say anything, so he had to leave the sentence 'take care of his illness' and run away.
Cui Xin saw that the eldest grandson went out, and poured a cup of tea for Zheng Ruilan, Zheng Ruilan's face was still the shyness of the youngest daughter's family, replaced by indifference and calmness.
"Cuixin, you go find a few clever girls and spread the word about this."
Cui Xin nodded and said, "Master, Aunt Na Ran is really too bold and fat, she dares to slap your face like this, according to the slave maid, she still cleared her worries earlier." ”
Zheng Ruilan frowned, thought about it carefully, and said: "Now I don't have a firm foothold, and there is a prime minister's mansion behind her, Xia Mengning will marry in the future, but she is the princess, if there is no perfect plan, you can't startle the snake." ”
Cui thought for a while and said: "Master, the slave has heard about it, the relationship between the two young ladies of the Xia family is like fire and water, and this time Aunt Ran's self-surrender of her identity has also annoyed Prime Minister Xia, and it is not certain whether the Prime Minister's Mansion will care about her in the future." ”
Zheng Ruilan raised her eyebrows, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Cui Xin nodded her head like a rattle, "Is this still fake?" The slave's fellow villager was on an errand in front of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, called Qiao'er, and she told the slave and maid. ”
Zheng Ruilan nodded, "That's easy to do, without this layer of protection, I'll see what she Xia Mengran will fight with me." ”
The Prime Minister's Mansion has experienced this incident, it seems to have suddenly become a lot colder, Xia Chuanyuan goes to the court all day long, and after he comes back, he stays in the house alone and doesn't go anywhere, everyone in the mansion knows that this incident has made Xia Chuanyuan very angry, and at this juncture, no one dares to do anything wrong.
Xia Mengning sat on the small bed and stretched out her hand to dress Xia Zhikang, Xia Zhikang was six months old, and his small body was whirring, and this dress was also small when he was wearing it.
Finally dressed Xia Zhikang, Xia Mengning was so tired that a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his head, Ge Shi hugged Xia Zhikang, who was still pecking his fists, and said to Xia Mengning: "Wipe it quickly, don't go out to blow the wind." ”
Xia Mengning took the handkerchief handed by Jade and wiped her sweat, and said with a smile: "The weather is so good today, why don't you take Kang'er and go for a walk in the garden?" ”
Ge nodded, the two cleaned up, and then walked out of the house with Xia Zhikang in his arms, the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion was very well maintained, Xia Zhikang wore a small hat, and a pair of big eyes flickered to look at the surrounding scenery, and his little face smiled.
Jade smiled, "Look at the little young master's happiness, his little mouth can't be closed." ”
Xia Mengning took a handkerchief to wipe Xia Zhikang's saliva, reached out and picked a flower for him, and teased: "Kang'er, do you like it or not?" ”
Xia Zhikang was holding it in Ge's arms, and when he saw Xia Mengning holding flowers in his hands, he immediately stretched out his fat little hand to take it, and finally got it, so he immediately stuffed it into his mouth.
Xia Mengning quickly snatched it down, but Xia Zhikang's face was still stained with a little pollen, and Jade was about to wipe him clean with a handkerchief, when he saw Xia Zhikang sneezing violently, this scene really amused everyone.
After playing for a while, Xu was tired, Xia Zhikang hung his head and couldn't lift his spirits, and dozed off on Ge's shoulder little by little, Xia Mengning saw it, and hurriedly asked Jade and Ge to carry Xia Zhikang back to the house.
Jiu'er walked behind with the basket and picked down the blooming flowers, Xia Mengning saw it, and said with a smile: "Go back and let Zhulian make some hoof Ling cakes, I haven't eaten them for a long time, I really miss them." ”
Jiu'er nodded, happily went to collect petals, Xia Mengning stood in Yuan and watched, but at this moment, several people on the other side attracted Xia Mengning's attention.
Xia Mengning looked at it secretly, Jiu'er had already picked many petals, and when she walked back, she saw Xia Mengning looking in that direction, so she asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Xia Mengning frowned, "Jiu'er, you go and inquire with Li Yan, who entered the mansion today?" ”
Jiu'er nodded, and the two walked back to the bamboo branch garden.
In the afternoon, Jiu'er inquired back, Xia Mengning sat on the couch embroidering a handkerchief, and raised her eyebrows after listening to Jiu'er's words: "Oh? Was it someone called by the Xie family? ”
Jiu'er nodded, "Yes, Miss, that's what Steward Li said, that person came out of the palace, and the old lady spent a lot of money to invite her from Jiangnan." ”
Xia Mengning put down the work in her hand, tapped her index finger on the table, and said suspiciously: "What is Xie asking Xi for?" ”
Jiu'er also shook her head, "The slave maid didn't know about it at first, but later I met Qiao'er in the Huanyi room, and Qiao'er told the slave maid that in recent days, Caiwei, the granddaughter of Chen's mother, has often been kept in Rongfutang by the old lady, miss, what do you guess is the relationship between the two?" ”
Xia Mengning listened, first pondered for a while, then stretched his brows and said with a smile: "I see." ”
Saying that, Xia Mengning chose a shiny pearl from the box on the side and handed it to Jiu'er, saying, "You go and give this to Qiao'er, and tell her that this is my reward, and this time and Zheng Ruilan's matter last time were done very well." ”
Jiu'er nodded, took the pearl and walked down.
Xia Mengning pinched the silk handkerchief in his hand, and fell into deep thought slightly, thinking that Xie Shi would not do it, but he still couldn't help it, but if he could sweep away these eye-catching things for his mother before he got married, he could also make himself feel a little more at ease.
In the spring, the Prime Minister's Mansion ushered in a fairly happy event, that is, the marriage of Xia Zhihan and Liu Shihan.
Xia Zhikang has now grown up, and Ge's body has improved a lot, Xia Mengning simply gave the power of the family to Ge's, and let her arrange everything.
Ge Shi is careful, from banquets to dishes, guests to distant relatives, all the arrangements are not leaky, in the morning in Rongfutang, Ge Shi said the general process, Xia Chuanyuan listened to it very satisfied, even Xie Shi, who has always been willing to find faults, did not find fault.
Xia Zhihan sat on the chair, his eyes were slightly swollen, his face was not as energetic as before, but a vain appearance, Xia Mengning was a little disgusted, this look was a manifestation of excessive indulgence, thinking that Liu Shihan wanted to live with such a person, Xia Mengning felt a little heartache for Liu Shihan.
Xia Zhihan's eyes were slightly raised, and he stared at Ge Shi standing in the center of the room unabashedly, Ge Shi wore a glossy apricot yellow dress today, although it was produced not long ago, but Ge Shi was already thin, and now although he is slightly plump, he is just in the right shape, more greasy and less firewood.
Xia Zhihan looked at it, his eyes were like a jackal seeing a little sheep, staring at Ge's body hotly.
Xia Mengning noticed Xia Zhihan's gaze, and couldn't help but burn a ball of anger in her chest, and said: "Daddy, don't just say you're satisfied, why don't you ask the eldest brother's opinion, after all, the eldest brother still has to be satisfied with this matter." ”
Xia Chuanyuan nodded and asked, "Han'er, what is your opinion?" ”
Interrupted by Leng Buding, Xia Zhihan hurriedly retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Mrs. Mei has arranged it very well, and the child has no opinion." ”
As he spoke, he felt a trace of unusual sight, and when he looked up, it was Xia Mengning who was sitting opposite, Xia Zhihan was a little scared as soon as he touched that sight, he still remembered the last time he was pointed at his neck by Xia Mengning with a sword in the garden, thinking of this, Xia Zhihan hurriedly lowered his head and did not look at him.
