Chapter 18 Smart Machine 2

In the morning of the second day, Xia Mengning got up. Zhulian waited for her to wash and combed a small bud bun for her. Xia Mengning looked at the person in the mirror and shook her head at Zhulian. "Don't be too cumbersome. Today is to fulfill your wish. Don't be too gorgeous."

With that, a jade hairpin with carved petals was selected from the few jewelry in the box. The workmanship of the hairpin is not very exquisite, but the design of the petals and tassels is very unique. Xia Mengning removed the hair bun and took half of the green silk and gently tied it in her ear. The hairpin was worn on the edge of the oblique bun, and the white fringe drooped. On the side of the ear, it is like a white lotus blooming on the blue stone, reflecting the white jade-like skin, which is very eye-catching.

Zhulian was stunned, "Miss, it's so beautiful to dress like this, just like... like..."

After talking for a long time, she couldn't say an adjective. Xia Meng lightly painted a light-colored mouth fat and asked Zhulian to take out the short slanted moon-white coat and a moon-white skirt embroidered with water lilies. She wore a light green cardigan outside and a snow-blue wide-brimmed brocade belt around her waist. The whole person was a kind of light. The shallow refreshing feeling sets off her jade-like face, which is more and more pure and beautiful.

First, I went to Rongfu Hall to say hi. Unexpectedly, I didn't meet Fang's mother and daughter. Xia Mengning told Xie that she was going to Jingming Temple again today. Xie nodded and said to Chen's mother beside her, "You go to the front yard and talk to the prime minister and ask him to send a few effective bodyguards to escort."

Xia Mengning thanked and walked out of Rongfu Hall with Chen's mother.

"It's going to bother Mother Chen in this way." Xia Mengning said to Chen's mother with a smile on her face: "Mother Chen looks much better today."

Mother Chen hurriedly thanked her, "I also want to thank Miss San for her medicinal herbs. In fact, the old slave is a servant, and there is no need to use such an expensive thing."

Xia Mengning interrupted her, "What did Chen's mother say? You are a close person to your grandmother. Coming out represents your grandmother's face. You have been trying your best to take care of your grandmother for so many years, and Ning'er respects you in her heart."

After saying this, a steady person like Chen's mother also looked happy and dared not. Xia Mengning smiled and said, "I have to trouble Mother Chen to thank Ning'er when she goes to Yong'an Hall. Dad has been busy with the government recently, and Ning'er can't bother her more." Chen's mother nodded. Xia Mengning and Zhulian went back to Zhuzhiyuan, packed up and put on their gauze hats.

Mother Chen walked into Yong'an Hall. The guard outside the door saw it and immediately came forward with a wink, "Mother Chen, are you here?"

Mother Chen nodded, "It was the old lady who asked me to come to the Prime Minister."

Entering the room, Xia Chuanyuan was sitting at the table. Chen's mother hurriedly saluted, "The old lady called the maidservant to tell the master that the third lady is going to Jingming Temple to fulfill her wish and pray for the Prime Minister's mansion."

Xia Chuanyuan's face softened, "I know. I'll ask someone to prepare the carriage and send a few more guards. I think it's okay. Go back to your mother."

Mother Chen came out. As soon as she arrived at Zhuzhi Garden, she saw that Xia Mengning had packed up and stood under the tree in the yard. Zhulian and Xin's mother stood behind them. Seeing Mother Chen coming, she smiled and said, "How about it? What did Dad say?

Mother Chen said the words to Xia Mengning and led her to the front yard. The carriage had already been prepared in the front yard. The cyan cloth was embroidered with auspicious clouds, and the four corners were hung with a Fu-shaped wall. Although it was not luxurious, it could be seen that it was not used by ordinary people.

Xia Mengning was helped to the carriage by Zhulian. After sitting down, she said to Xin's mother on one side, "Xin's mother will be the stewor in my yard in the future. Ning'er remembers your kindness and will not treat you badly."

Xin's mother bowed her head and said, "The third lady has broken the maidservant. How can the maidservant afford it." Xia Mengning smiled and her face was gentle. Zhulian next to her was angry last night, so she only saw the situation and didn't say anything.

The carriage was advancing at a moderate speed. Zhulian sat next to Xia Mengning and asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to squint? It's still far from Jingming Temple." Xia Mengning was not sleepy, but she had a plan in her heart. At present, she just nodded and pretended to sleep with her eyes closed.

What he said to Dr. Wu yesterday must have said to Wu Qing when he went home. Wu Qing knew that he had a strong and upright nature in his previous life. Naturally, it would take a lot of effort to subdue her. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning smiled in her heart. Otherwise, why did she come out today to make a wish?

Just thinking about it, there was a sound outside, and the carriage also stopped. Zhulian poked out her head to look, turned around and said to Xia Mengning, "Miss, there are many people on the road ahead. I'm afraid this carriage can't pass."

Xia Mengning opened her eyes. At this time, the voice of the bodyguard came from outside, "Miss San, there seems to be something on the road ahead. There are too many people blocking the road."

Xia Mengning nodded, picked up the gauze hat beside her and put it on for herself. She said to Zhulian, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look."

Walking out of the carriage, because there was a bodyguard, Xia Mengning was sandwiched in the middle by Xin's mother and Zhulian, so she easily walked to the middle of the crowd in front of her. As soon as she walked to the open place, Xia Mengning saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the road, holding a child in her arms and crying, "It's unreasonable, this light. Next, someone dares to commit murder on the street. You all judge them.

A man standing in the middle, wearing an ordinary cyan cloth, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and his eyes turned red. "Don't talk nonsense. Obviously, I chased you out because you told me that someone robbed your money. I gave you the silver back. How can you say that I robbed it?"

The middle-aged woman was unmoved, but cried with the child in her arms, "Our orphans and widows, came to the capital to join us after selling our property. You, a thousand-killer, actually want to bully us. Today, I will definitely not forgive you. Let's go and see the official and let him judge."

The man frowned and shook off the woman's hand. "What are you doing? I said I took it back for you. The thief has escaped. How can you blame me?"

At this time, the child in the middle-aged woman's arms began to cry. The woman hugged the child and cried, "You use your power to bully others. Seeing that our orphans and widows have no power, you want to bully us. Oh, my God, it's unreasonable."

The people around watching the bustle were furious and blamed one after another.

"It's shameless for a big man to bully other orphans and widows."

"Yes, yes, it looks beautiful. How can you do such a thing?" A group of people were making noise, and it was getting more and more noisy. Xia Mengning raised the corners of her mouth. This person is really interesting.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengning looked at the man standing in the middle of the crowd. Although she was panicked, her eyes were calm. However, although the woman sitting on the ground was crying, the child in her arms had already stopped crying. Xia Meng's eyes saw a sharp corner under the woman's gray cloth skirt, which seemed to flash in the sun. After that, I know it in my heart.

The people over there were already dissatisfied with the man's attitude and wanted to tie him to the government, but Xia Mengning here stood up and said in a cool voice, "Hold on, this gentleman is wronged."
