Chapter 196: Yin and Yang (2)
The eldest grandson roared, "Rebel, don't you know that Miss Xia San is your eldest brother's fiancΓ©e, they already have a marriage contract from the emperor, and she is your sister-in-law." β
The eldest grandson held his head and hung his head in pain, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head: "Yes, I know, I always know." β
said, but looked straight at the eldest grandson, without a trace of retreat, "Father, mother, the child likes Miss Xia San, and if you like it, you can't extricate yourself, and if you like it, you can't even want your life for her." β
After saying this, the eldest grandson seemed to suddenly feel a lot more relaxed, and his expression eased suddenly, as if he had fallen into old memories, "The child has never liked any woman, until that time at the queen mother's birthday banquet, the child saw Miss Xia San's dancing, she is so beautiful and pure, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, the child's heart, for the first time, I feel the beat, but on that day, the child knew the news that she was going to marry the eldest brother, the child knew that she was not as good as the eldest brother, but the child dared to promise, The child's love for Miss Muxia is no less than that of the eldest brother. β
The eldest grandson glared at him, "Rebel, what are you trying to do?" Take your brother's fiancΓ©e? β
The eldest grandson smiled bitterly, "What can a child do, a child is not as good as the eldest brother, so the child can only endure it, but that day Zheng Donglin dared to insult Miss Xia with a group of people, and the child rushed up and killed him, the child didn't dare to do anything, he just wanted to be able to protect his beloved woman, is this wrong?" The child's marriage is not his own decision, but he has to pretend to be grateful to marry a woman he doesn't love at all, and the child is not free, so the child went to the prime minister's house last night and told Miss Xia what was in his heart. β
Speaking of this, the eldest grandson remembered the woman under him last night, she was so beautiful and pure, and he remembered that when he kissed Xia Mengning's lips, that beautiful taste was enough to make him unforgettable for life.
After the eldest grandson's words, Zheng Ruilan was almost suffocated, he admitted that he didn't love himself, Zheng Ruilan was in tears, even in front of himself, he still said what was in his heart without reservation, even if it hurt his heart so much, even if it was so cruel, he still said it.
He doesn't care how he feels! When Zheng Ruilan realized this, her heart was like someone took a sharp knife with a barb, stabbed it fiercely, and when she pulled it out, the barb implicated the flesh and blood in her chest, but this person was her favorite man, Zheng Ruilan felt so painful that she couldn't breathe in pain.
"Lan'er......" Zheng Yuxiu saw Zheng Ruilan unconscious again, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, the eldest grandson was awakened, and suddenly realized that he was in front of his new wife, and what he said just now would really hurt her heart.
Zheng Yuxiu turned her head and slapped the eldest grandson in the face, with a tone of hatred that iron is not steel, Zheng Yuxiu said: "Li'er, I thought you were a child who values love and righteousness, but I didn't expect you to be so selfish, even if this marriage was arranged by me and your father, what is it for, isn't it so that you can be safe, do you want us to watch you die?" How unfilial you are, you are not satisfied with the marriage, what about Lan'er, can she be the master, she is a woman in her prime, but she is married to a man who does not love her selfishness, how unfortunate is she, Li'er, why have you become so selfish now, you are an adult, me and your father are getting old, do you have to toss this family and foreign restlessness, are you willing to feel at ease? β
Zheng Yuxiu almost roared, after saying such a thing, although she used the eldest grandson, she could be raised from childhood to adulthood, she really poured a lot of effort into the eldest grandson, and now she really treats the eldest grandson as her own child, so when she saw the eldest grandson like this, she gave him a painful slap.
Hit the child's body, the pain was in the mother's heart, Zheng Yuxiu shed tears, after saying these words, he ran out in a hurry, the eldest grandson obviously didn't expect it, but remembered that Zheng Yuxiu's child was gone, and the eldest grandson was raised by Zheng Yuxiu since he was a child, Zheng Yuxiu must have poured out his feelings, so he sighed and said to the eldest grandson: "You can do it yourself." β
After saying that, he also walked out.
After listening to Zheng Yuxiu's words, the eldest grandson was also entangled in his heart, yes, Lan'er was not wrong, in the end, she was also innocent, but she and Xia Mengning had already done the courtesy of Zhou Gong, if he chose to abandon her at this time, then he was really not a man.
That's it, don't everyone say that love is selfish, and he can't hurt the heart of his beloved woman, so he can only choose to hurt Lan'er.
In the Bamboo Branch Garden, Xia Mengning was sitting by the window reading a medical book, and the warm spring sun projected in from the window, covering Xia Mengning's side face with a soft aura, fluttering like butterfly eyelashes, trembling slightly from time to time, Jiu'er came in with a snack, and saw such a scene.
"Miss, let's have some snacks."
Jiu'er said softly, put the dim sum on the small table on the couch, and there were a few delicate lotus leaf cakes on the plate with light green cinnamon branches, Xia Mengning put down the medical book, sniffed it gently, and her satisfied eyes were bent, "Jiu'er, this must be a lotus leaf cake made of Zhulian." β
Jiu'er smiled, "Miss's good nose." β
Xia Meng condensed his body, leaned on the small table slightly, reached out and put a piece of lotus leaf cake in his mouth, the lotus leaf cake was mixed with just the right amount of flour, mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves, sweet but not greasy, and the entrance was silky, which was really lovely.
It just so happened that at this time, Zhu Lian also walked in, holding the freshly cooked sweet soup in her hand, putting it on the small table and saying, "Miss, this is the lotus root powder and barley soup that the slave maid just cooked, moisturizing and nourishing the skin, Miss taste it." β
Xia Mengning frowned, and said coquettishly to Zhulian: "Good Zhulian, you know, I don't like barley the most." β
Zhu Lian smiled, stretched out her hand and poured a bowl for Xia Mengning, "Miss just taste it, if you still don't like it, the slave and maid will withdraw." β
Xia Mengning took it and tasted it suspiciously, and then said with a smile: "Zhulian, why is this soup not bitter but sweet, I remember that barley seeds are slightly bitter." β
Zhu Lian smiled, "A few days ago, I bought a lot of sugarcane in the kitchen, and the slave thought that the young lady must not want to vomit while eating, so she put the sugarcane in the jar and broke it, collected the juice, and used it to make pastries and make sweet soup. β
Xia Mengning listened and said with a smile: "Zhulian is really clever, using the juice of sugarcane to make pastries, I said that this lotus leaf cake is much more fragrant than before." β
Zhu Lian smiled, "Miss, the slave maid also made some, why don't you take them for Mrs. Mei?" β
Xia Mengning nodded, "Jiu'er, you go and send it, my mother has always liked Zhulian, and if she eats such a delicious pastry, maybe she won't let Zhulian come back." β
Zhulian was a little embarrassed, Jiu'er pouted and said, "Miss is eccentric, isn't Jiu'er bad?" β
Xia Mengning stiffened her face, "Look, you still dare to talk to Miss like this, Zhulian, this pastry is not allowed to be eaten by Jiu'er, and this little gluttonous cat is hungry." β
As soon as the words fell, the three of you, you look at me, I look at you, they all covered their mouths and laughed.
After laughing, Xia Mengning said: "Okay, now we have only one Zhulian in Zhuzhi Garden who makes pastries, in my opinion, it's time to choose a few clever girls to come in and serve, otherwise the two of you will be tired all day." β
The three of them were discussing, when they saw the door curtain lifted, Wu Qing walked in, and when he saw the pastries on the small table, Wu Qing pounced on it like a beggar saw Mantou Mountain, and put the end of the plate on the stool on the side.
Xia Mengning coughed twice, "Wu Qing, where have you been these days?" β
Wu Qing ate, took a sip of tea and said, "Zhulian and delicious food has never been left to me, it's really ......"
When Zhu Lian heard this, she was not happy, so she stepped forward and snatched back the plate in Wu Qing's hand, protected it on her chest and said: "I have no conscience, I didn't keep food for you when you came back that night, and now I still say this about me, and I won't give you food." β
As he spoke, he walked out with a plate, Wu Qing smacked the dim sum dregs on his fingers, he was still unsatisfied, but he was not sloppy, and said directly: "I've been practicing recently, so the day and night have been reversed, but fortunately there is me, otherwise how can you know such a hot gossip?" β
As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh, Jiu'er rubbed her arms, looked at Xia Mengning and said, "Miss, why do you feel scared?" β
Wu Qing rolled her eyes, but Xia Mengning heard what Wu Qing said, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
Wu Qing smiled and said: "Last night I practiced on the bamboo forest pavilion in the backyard, because it was the last floor, so I couldn't be disturbed and couldn't move around without permission. β
Xia Mengning was stunned, "Cheating? β
Wu Qing waved his hand, looking unconcerned, "Don't you know, I'm still a yellow flower girl, the first time I see this kind of situation, I'm always nervous...... But I couldn't move, I could only listen to the voice, it was uncomfortable, you don't know, it made me uncomfortable at that time, ......"
Wu Qing said that he felt good about himself, but Xia Mengning and Jiu'er rolled their eyes in unison, and Wu Qing coughed twice, "Okay, okay, I won't say it, to be honest, I didn't see it very clearly, when I opened my eyes in the morning, it was already dawn." β
Xia Mengning stood up, "You said a lot, except for expressing your own feelings about watching someone else's affair for the first time, I didn't hear any useful news." β
Jiu'er nodded and agreed: "And it's disgusting......"
Xia Mengning sorted out her clothes and said, "Let's go, let's go to Yong'an Hall to say hello to my father." β
With that, the two walked out, and Wu Qing shouted behind him helplessly, "Hey, hey...... I'm not done yet......"
As he spoke, he muttered to himself, "That woman's voice is very familiar, I really want to hear it somewhere......"
