Chapter 25 Harvesting Fish 3
As soon as Xie Shi heard this, she knew it and sighed, "This matter is really tricky. The daughters of our Xia family are all enjoying a princess-like life. Naturally, they have to contribute to the Xia family. Originally, I wanted to stay in Xi'er next year, so I married her to the prince's house as the main room. Now it seems that the prince is by no means a good match. The son of the world. Well, it was a great choice. I never thought that he would like the daughter of the Xia family. Now it is naturally the best to marry the Shizi Mansion. But Ning'er, after all, she is a concubine. No matter how much the Shizi likes her, he can only make a side room at most. If Xier is allowed to go, the main room is okay.
Xia Chuanyuan shook his head and told Xie everything about today. After listening to it, Xie didn't say anything for a long time, and finally sighed, "We can't afford to offend the Shizi Mansion. It's only blame Na Xi'er for being too useless. Ning'er is a child who knows etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat. Don't worry about it. Let's see what's going on in the side of the Shizi Mansion. By the way. It will be my birthday in a few days. I will take this opportunity to invite the son of the King of Dingxi to come. Let me see for myself.
Xia Chuanyuan nodded. At this time, someone outside reported, "Sir, the prince is here and is waiting for you in the lobby." Xie's eyebrows frowned. How could the prince come? The prince and the prime minister had no friendship before.
Xia Chuanyuan was also surprised, but at least the prince came in person, so he immediately stood up. Xie waved his hand, "Go quickly, don't neglect the prince."
Xia Chuanyuan went out. Xie put his arm on the table and held his head. Chen's mother hurriedly poured a cup of tea, "Is the old lady upset about the third lady?" Xie took a sip of tea and took a sip of tea. She said to Chen's mother beside her, "This Ninger has changed since she woke up after her head was broken. What kind of person is the son of the world? Look, he is usually arrogant and do whatever he wants. On the surface, he is lawless by relying on the emperor's favor, but if he is not measured at all, he will not be in the emperor. In front of him is like a fish in water, no one can do anything about him. He is a calculating person, and Ning'er is also a smart person. Now she has no power in the house. If she knows this, she will definitely catch it to death.
After saying that, Xie's face darkened, "The daughter of the Xia family, if she wants to marry into the son's mansion, she must be the direct descendant. Ning'er's origin is not good, and she can only be a side room when she gets married, which can't help much. In addition, this Ning'er city is quite deep, and she will be a planned child. Can she forget how the front treats her from the front? I'm afraid I won't help at that time."
Mother Chen didn't say anything and added some water to Xie's cup. "Old lady, don't blame the old slave for talking too much. This third sister's heart is transparent. Maybe the matter of this world is how it was made. I'm afraid you can't hide it even if you want to hide it."
Xie Shi didn't say anything. He pinched the palm of his hand and asked, "If you go to Zhuzhiyuan, just say that the bead string I put in the Buddhist hall a few days ago is missing, and let Xin's mother come back and look for it."
Chen's mother took the order, and Xie sighed. This Ning'er really wants to climb a high branch, but the marriage of the Xia family can't be decided by you.
Xia Chuanyuan walked to the front hall of the guests and saw the prince's eldest grandson Ye sitting on the chair. He immediately walked over and arched his hand and said, "I see your highness." With that, he saw the person next to him and hurriedly arched his hand: "See Prince Mo."
"You don't have to be polite to Prime Minister Xia!" Chang Sun Ye said.
Xia Chuanyuan asked with a smile, "I don't know what's the matter with His Royal Highness coming to the humble house?"
Changsun Ye waved his hand and said, "I've heard for a long time that there is the most unique garden in the capital in Xia Prime Minister's mansion. I came here specially today, hoping that Prime Minister Xia can take time to take me on a good tour."
Xia Chuanyuan muttered in his heart, I don't know why the prince who has no friendship with him, came to visit his homeland, but it was the order of the prince, and he must not disobey it. Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan quickly smiled and said, "The prince wants to visit, and there is no reason not to accompany him." The three walked out of the front hall. Xia Chuanyuan was trembling all the way. Changsun Ye didn't say anything. He walked in front alone. When he walked to the rain platform, Changsun Ye said, "The scenery there is good. Let's sit there."
The three of them went to the rain platform and sat down. A maid brought tea and cakes. Changsun Ye casually took a sip of tea and said, "The good scenery in Xia Cheng's garden is no wonder he is famous, but I don't know if this good scenery will decline?" Xia Chuanyuan couldn't figure out the meaning of Changsun Ye, so he could only smile. Changsun Ye looked at his appearance and laughed twice, "The Prime Minister has always been a smart person. My father value you the most, but my father is old. Can the Prime Minister think about the way to go next?" This is to force himself to show his heart on the surface. Xia Chuanyuan lowered his head and said, "The prince, the old minister is a young official. Now it has been more than ten years. How can His Royal Highness doubt the old minister's loyalty to the royal family?" Changsun Mo looked aside and thought in his heart, this old fox didn't say anything, did he?
Changsun Ye also heard the meaning of Xia Chuanyuan's words. He was a little dissatisfied with him playing Tai Chi to himself, but when he thought of what his fifth brother said to him before he came, he couldn't help saying patiently, "What is Minister Xia Cheng's words? Naturally, I know your loyalty, but there are always some villains on the hall today, constantly thinking about the following crimes. The father thought about the old feelings and didn't want to attack them, but they became more and more serious. Prime Minister Xia is the most important minister of his father. It's better for Prime Minister Xia to go to the front of his father and kill these villains.
Xia Chuanyuan shook his head quickly, "No, Your Highness, this kind of thing... How can the old minister say it? It's impossible..." Changsun Ye frowned, "So, Prime Minister Xia is going to be with these villains?" Xia Chuanyuan knelt down and said, "Your Highness the prince is aware of it. I have no such thoughts. Please be aware of it." Changsun Ye stood up angrily by his attitude, "Sat Prime Minister Xia, don't be soft and hard. If you still want to be so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude to you." Changsun Mo came over and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to be angry." After saying that, he turned to Xia Chuanyuan and said, "The Prime Minister Xia knows that His Royal Highness has not married the imperial concubine. If the Prime Minister Xia is willing to say a few fair words in front of the emperor, the glory of the crown princess is your Xia family. In the future, the future of Prime Minister Xia will be unlimited." Xia Chuanyuan was shocked, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He could only kowtow in fear. Changsun Ye was upset and waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I have said it clearly enough today. If the prime minister is smart, he should know what to do." After saying that, Changsun Ye waved his sleeves and left. Xia Chuanyuan stood up and happened to meet Changsun Mo's dark eyes.
"Do you still have any instructions for Prince Mo?" Changsun Mo nodded, "The third lady in your mansion, the Prime Minister should be good ****."
A light and not serious word made Xia Chuanyuan sweat coldly. Before he could ask clearly, Changsun Mo left. Xia Chuanyuan was puzzled. Why did this have anything to do with Ning'er again?
Xia Mengning sat under the tree in the garden and talked to Jiu'er, pulling the house. Pearl Lotus embroidered flowers on the side and occasionally interrupted. After saying these words, Xia Mengning's defense against Jiu'er has been reduced a little. A person can fake anywhere, but only her eyes can't fake it. When Jiu'er talked about the past, Xia Mengning only felt that if it was watert leaking, I was afraid that it had been carefully arranged in advance, but she suddenly asked her many questions, and she answered them fluently, which was not fake at all. Xia Mengning was happy. After all, it was much better to have one more friend around than one more enemy, but after In the last betrayal and frame-up, Xia Mengning still couldn't fully trust Jiu'er. Just wait a few days to see how Xia Mengxi toss around. At that time, she can really see Jiu'er's nature.
"Does Miss San like to eat sweets? There is a way to steam wine and honey together, and then add fresh osmanthus petals to make drinkable nectar, sweet but not greasy, and wine fragrance. Xia Mengning looked at Jiu'er and said with a smile, "Do you like it very much? I've never heard of it." Jiu'er said proudly, "That's natural. When I was a child, I often did it. Even my father liked it very much. But because of alcohol, children are not allowed to drink too much. It is said that if they drink too much, they will be drunk. Once I secretly drank some and somehow fell asleep. The next day, I was treated by the maidservant's mother. I'm scolding."
Xia Mengning listened interestingly, and Zhulian couldn't help asking, "Why is that?"
Jiu'er covered her mouth and smiled, "My mother said that the maidservant drank too much yesterday and somehow climbed up the tree. She insisted that she was a fruit and said that she was familiar with it and had to jump down. Fortunately, the tree was not very high. The maidservant just fell and hurt her waist. She was fine after lying in ** for a few months."
Xia Mengning covered the corners of her mouth and smiled with a veil. The bead curtain also put down the embroidery and pointed to Jiu'er and kept smiling. Jiu'er stood there with a red face and stamped her feet and said, "Why did the third lady laugh at the slave with Sister Zhulian?" Xia Mengning finally stopped laughing and said, "Good Jiuer, what you said is too funny. Don't be angry. Can the young lady compensate you?" Jiu'er shook his hand quickly, "I can't do it. Miss San, don't take it seriously. The maidservant said casually that I just wanted to fight you with a smile."
Zhulian also came over and said, "Sister Jiu'er is so awesome. How can she become a fruit now? It can also open our eyes." Jiu'er's face turned red by Zhulian. Xia Mengning pretended to be angry and pushed Zhulian. "Okay, don't make fun of Jiuer. If you haven't embroidered this pillow before dark, I won't forgive you." While talking and laughing, a figure came in from outside. Xia Mengning stood up and smiled, "Why is Mother Chen here?"
Seeing the scene of three masters and servants gathered together, Chen's mother's face was a little embarrassed. This third lady, somehow, has been like a different person since she woke up last time. Every time she looked at her eyes, she always felt dangerous and tight.
"If you go back to Miss San, the old lady is thinking about looking for the Buddha string she asked for when she went up the mountain a few years ago, but she couldn't find it anymore. In the past, the Buddhist hall was all managed by Xin's mother alone, so she came to find Xin's mother to help find it." Xia Mengning nodded, "It turned out that my grandmother was looking for Xin's mother. Then Chen's mother will wait for a while. I'll ask Jiu'er to call." He said to Jiu'er beside him, "Go and call Mother Xin out quickly, and say that Mother Chen is here."
