Xia Mengning entered the room, and saw Xie sitting at the top, talking to Xia Mengran sitting at the bottom, the grandfather and grandson seemed to have talked about some interesting topic, Xie squinted his eyes and smiled, a happy scene.

Chen's mother walked in and said to Xie, "Old lady, the third lady is here." ”

Only then did Xie raise his head and glance at Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning walked up to her, Yingying Fu, "Ning'er has seen the old lady." ”

didn't call grandmother as usual, Xie obviously heard the meaning, to Xia Mengning's surprise, Xie didn't get angry, but smiled and said to Xia Mengning: "Ning'er is here, get up." ”

Xia Mengning thanked her, then stood up, and a girl set up an embroidered stool on the side, Xia Mengning sat down with a handkerchief, and her movements were elegant and decent.

Mother Chen brought the tea and said with a smile: "When the old lady was talking to Miss Five, she was talking about Miss Three, and after chattering for a while, Miss Three finally came." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, is this saying that she is late?

didn't take the tea, Xia Mengning just looked at Chen's mother, Chen's mother was embarrassed, so she put the tea bowl in front of Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning looked at it and smiled: "Mother's body still needs to be recuperated, I need to worry about everything in this house, and I ask the old lady to forgive me when I am late." ”

Although Xia Mengning said this, her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, but she looked extremely disdainful, reached out to pick up the tea, and said no more.

When Xia Mengran heard this, the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble, thinking of Wei's appearance a few days ago, and then looking at Xia Mengning's pride now, Xia Mengran couldn't help but squeeze the teacup tightly and gritted his teeth fiercely.

Xie looked at Xia Mengning sitting under him with a pair of cloudy old eyes, only to see that Xia Mengning was wearing a red gold thread embroidered begonia flower dress today, and the petal embroidery method at the skirt used the most popular reverse needle embroidery, and the pattern jumped on the dress, lifelike, very eye-catching.

Xie Shi glanced at it a few times and said softly: "Third girl, I heard that your father handed over the right to be a housekeeper to you?" ”

Xia Mengning smiled, nodded and said softly: "Ning'er is not talented, just helping from the side, what Daddy said is to give this housekeeping power to her mother, and her mother's body still needs to be recuperated, so let her daughter study and learn." ”

Xie Shi lowered his face coldly and said: "The things in this house are not simple, you are still young, if you are too busy, you will be with your fifth sister, simply you are the same age, and it is time for you to experience more." ”

Speaking, he looked at Xia Mengran's direction, and said with some blame: "How to say that this is also the Chinese New Year's Eve, how did you come out dressed like this, aren't the examples in the various courtyards of the mansion complete?" ”

When Xia Mengning heard this, she turned her head to look at Xia Mengran's dress, and saw that Xia Mengran was wearing a tube skirt made of streamer brocade, with an apricot yellow horse coat on the outside, and the embroidery on the skirt was also a good Su embroidery, Xia Mengning looked at Xie Shi, thought about it carefully, and then knew the meaning of Xie Shi's words.

Before Xia Mengning could speak, Xie Shi turned to Xia Mengning, "Ning'er, how did you distribute the examples of each garden, why didn't your fifth sister even have a decent set of clothes?" ”

Xia Mengran obviously also knew what Xie meant by it, and his eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist, Chu Chu looked at Xia Mengning pitifully, and then looked at Xie Shi, before lowering his head in panic.

That look is obviously a look of being wronged and not daring to say it.

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Why did the old lady say this, Ning'er has never deducted the fifth sister's share, otherwise, you can just ask the fifth sister." ”

Xie Shi's face was pale, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart, he fell out with Xia Chuanyuan, but how could this Xia Chuanyuan be so confused, he actually handed over the power of the housekeeper to a concubine's daughter, and spread it like this, I was afraid that it would be laughed to death, the more Xie thought about it, the more angry he became, or he would remarry the daughter of the right family to be the stepmother, or he would take this power for himself first, but this Xia Chuanyuan is good......

Xie Shi thought about it, becoming more and more uncomfortable, feeling that he was actually overwhelmed by a concubine, and the mustard that had existed in his heart before became even more restless.

Xie and Ge's mother were handkerchiefs, but that was also before Ge's mother was the main room, and Ge's mother later became an aunt, but she was the main mother of everyone, how could she have a close relationship with an aunt?

The relationship between himself and Ge's mother is there, even if he doesn't have much contact, he will help cover Xia Mengning, but this Xia Mengning is a showy master, how can he allow someone in this mansion to be more arrogant than himself.

When Xie was still the main mother, she was framed by her aunt and almost didn't survive, so she hated concubines and concubines very much.

Thinking of this, Xie Shi's face turned cold, and he said: "Ning'er, how are you talking, look at Ran'er's clothes, and then look at yours, isn't it your example of deducting Ran'er?" ”

Xia Mengning stroked her eyebrows impatiently, this day is really not a day of peace, there are endless problems and difficulties every day, since this is the case, I don't have to back down in every way, but let them understand how powerful they are, and they can avoid a lot of trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengning turned around and said: "Fifth sister, although my sister is in charge of family affairs for the first time, she knows the importance of it, and the rules in each room are the same, if my sister has any objections, just tell my sister that the old lady is already old, why does my sister come to the old lady so ignorant to complain, not to mention the plain annoyance, this is a big New Year, and it is strange that people are blocked in their hearts, isn't it?" ”

Xia Mengning's words were said to Xia Mengran on the surface, but every sentence was aimed at the Xie family, and he had to argue about these trivial things during the New Year, and compete with the juniors for the benefit of his tongue, without the mind and bearing of the elders.

How could Xie Shi not hear it, hearing this, Xie Shi's face immediately darkened, looked at Xia Mengning and said: "It's not Ran'er's complaint, it's me who saw it, the material on your body is the fashionable Hehe brocade satin this year, but the one on Ran'er's body is the streamer satin that existed a few years ago, you are a sister, is this how you make a statement, don't think I'm old and my eyes are spent, just think I'm confused in my heart, which is right and wrong, I can see it clearly." ”

Xia Mengning covered her mouth and said, "The old lady has wronged Ning'er when she says this, and Ning'er has never deducted the share of the fifth sister's house." ”

When Xia Mengran heard this, she turned her eyes and looked at the clothes on Xia Mengning's body, only to see that the red dress on Xia Mengning's body was elegant and decent, and the skirt embroidered with begonia flowers was fresh and beautiful, and then looked at her own body, although it was also a good satin, but in front of Xia Mengning, it was finally a big cut, Xia Mengran gritted her teeth, it turned out that Xia Mengning was so scheming, she wore the satin from a few years ago to herself, and she herself was wearing a more beautiful new satin, Xia Mengran couldn't help but feel a cloud of anger in her heart, looking at Xia Mengning's eyes, He also became unkind.

Xie Shi snorted coldly, "The facts are right in front of you, you still want to quibble, could it be that I was seriously ill in the past few days, and you were in charge of family affairs like this?" ”

Xia Mengran saw Xie's expression and knew that he should step forward now to add a fire, so that Xia Mengning could not escape the punishment this time.

Thinking like this, Xia Mengran restrained the resentment and jealousy on her face, changed her aggrieved appearance and stepped forward, and said softly: "Grandmother, my sister didn't mean to, after all, ......" Saying, Xia Mengran glanced at Xia Mengning timidly, bit her lip and said: "My sister is now from a flat wife, and she is also a concubine, but Ran'er is just a humble concubine......

As he spoke, Xia Mengran turned around as if he had been greatly wronged, covered his face with a handkerchief, and began to cry.

Before Xie Shi wanted to say something, he saw that the heavy door curtain was lifted, and Xia Chuanyuan, who was wearing a cyan Zhuzi round-necked robe, walked in, and what Xie wanted to say was blocked in his throat and did not say it.

Xia Mengran's tears have not been withdrawn, Xia Chuanyuan saw a square, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the most taboo is quarrels and tears, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help frowning, walked to Xie's side and sat down: "What's wrong, what's wrong, crying for the New Year, don't learn from the embryo that doesn't enter the stream, specifically to add blockage to people." ”

These words were a bit heavy, Xia Mengran hurriedly wiped away her tears, and knelt on the ground in panic, "My daughter knows her mistakes, my daughter knows her mistakes." ”

The little girl served the fragrant tea, Xia Chuanyuan took it and took a sip, and said, "Get up." ”

Xie Shi looked at Xia Chuanyuan's appearance, he didn't even ask himself for peace when he entered the door, and his face couldn't help but be a little unbearable, and then he looked at Xia Chuanyuan's merciless accusation against Xia Mengran, so he was a little annoyed, and said: "This matter is not a big deal, but I saw that the clothes that Ran'er wore for the New Year were not decent, and I asked the third girl a few words, and then it started to make trouble." ”

Xia Chuanyuan listened, looked at Xia Mengran, who bowed his head and was silent, and then looked at Xia Mengning, who was leisurely sipping tea, and asked, "Ning'er, what's going on?" ”

Xia Mengning heard Xia Chuanyuan ask, so she put down the teacup and said softly: "Daddy, the left is just a trivial matter, this is the New Year, Daddy should not worry too much." ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, now that he has experienced so many things, he is already very relieved about this third daughter, and when he heard Xia Mengning say this, he didn't ask more.

Seeing that Xia Chuanyuan showed a look of trusting Xia Mengning very much, Xie couldn't help but be angry, but she still took into account Xia Chuanyuan's presence in her heart, so she didn't want to get angry casually, but just now she looked at Xia Mengning's dodgy expression between words, and knew that this matter must be Xia Mengning's fault, otherwise she wouldn't hide this matter and don't say more.

Thinking of this, Xie Shi couldn't help but feel slightly proud, reached out and took a sip of tea from the teacup on the side, and said: "Third girl, it's not right to say this, since your father let you be in charge of the house, he trusts you, and now that you have done such a thing, why do you still want to get by?" ”
