Chapter 45 Another Storm 1

Xia Mengning smiled and played with the teacup on the table. "I asked Zhulian to take the medicine and specially brought it to my aunt. It will be much better to cough."

Ge Shi nodded and found that Xia Mengning was carrying a paper bag in her hand. Xia Mengning put the paper bag on the table and asked, "Dad came last night?"

Gurdjie nodded, "You may have been confused by the matter between your wife and the eldest lady. Have you heard about the third lady?"

Xia Mengning waved her hand: "I don't know anything, yesterday..." With that, she leaned her head and told Ge all her plans.

Ge's face was calm. He only jumped a little nervous when he heard the three words of the general's mansion. After listening to Xia Mengning's words, Ge's handkerchief in his hand, thought for a long time, and then said, "How can you be so bold, just in case..."

Xia Mengning hurriedly shook her head, took the teapot and poured a cup of tea and drank it. "Don't worry, aunt. Ning'er has counted it."

Ge Shi was still worried and whispered, "Ning'er doesn't know anything. No matter how unfavorable the lady is, there is also a general's palace behind her. You must be careful in the future and don't take risks."

Xia Mengning held Ge's hand, and her eyes turned red. "Auntie, in this house, only you treat me seriously."

Ge Shi patted Xia Mengning's hand and sighed, "My aunt is old and can't help. Now my biggest wish is to watch you marry a good family, and my aunt has no regrets."

Xia Mengning was silent for a while, or asked, "Why did Dad come yesterday?"

Ge Shi paused for a while. Xia Mengning saw a trace of gentleness in her eyes. Gradually, the tenderness was covered by a firm light. Xia Mengning's heart stagnated and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Ning'er, I'm with your father..." Speaking of this, Ge Shi paused again, and his voice was slightly choked. "I just want to help you find a good home. There is no real feeling in this house. I know..."

Although it was an intermittent word, how smart Xia Mengning was. She thought for a moment and looked at Ge's look, but she still didn't say anything.

I am also a person who has experienced it and knows what it tastes like. Aunt and father fall in love with each other when they are young, and they are also a pair of envied partners. They are just men. When they are young, they will not regard their wives and children so seriously. What they value is only their own ambitions, their own future, and women are the accessories they are ready to sacrifice. Xia Mengning knows how troubled Xia Chuanyuan has been recently, not only spoiling the eldest daughter. To marry a poor man, his wife colluded with his mother's family to make waves in the house. At this time, he must recall the women he once loved, and his aunt was the woman who had been silently accompanied behind her, but was deeply hurt by him.

Xia Mengning's heart is slightly bitter. In this world, women can only be the accessories of men. Whether you are a peasant woman or a princess, you can't escape this fate.

As for himself, since he has chosen Changsun Yun, is he his own beloved? Xia Mengning thought of this and suddenly remembered the pond in the sky. He whispered in his ear, "When I ask my uncle for a will, I will exchange it with you."

Throwing away the beautiful moonlight and the intoxicating pond breeze of that day, Xia Mengning knew that her heart was beating in a panic, but so what? Can a feeling derived from deception and desire achieve good results? Xia Mengning was meditating, and the door was pushed open. A maid in red came in. Seeing Xia Mengning, she hurriedly said, "The maidservant has met the third lady and the fourth aunt."

Xia Mengning quickly covered up the expression on her face and sat down. Ge Shi looked at it and asked, "What's the matter?"

It was Yuyue, the maid in Ge's room, who was wearing red clothes. She got a sentence from Xia Chuanyuan in the morning, and she couldn't help bumping into the deer. The master spoke to himself in person. Yuyue was almost happy and crazy. As early as when she entered the house, she heard those women say that if she could If you serve in your mother's room and sit in the seat of a maid, you will be lucky enough to be favored by the master and carry a room.

Isn't it the same in the past? Yuyue returned to the room and thought about it carefully. When she first served in the lady's garden, her guard against these girls was stricter than the thief. She had no chance at all. She came to the fourth aunt's Meifang Garden. She thought she could have the opportunity to sit in her aunt's position, but the fourth aunt was actually a weak and incompetent master, not only I didn't come to the master's favor, but I didn't know how to fight for it. Yuyue thought of this and remembered that the master spoke so gently to me in the morning. She felt much more stable. Originally, she wanted to come to the fourth aunt's room to clean up and beg the fourth aunt to give her some jewelry. In the past, the fourth aunt was the same, but now the third lady is still Yuyue muttered in her heart and didn't know how to say it.

Xia Mengning quietly observed Yuyue's face, and also looked at her clothes. A maid, even the first-class maid beside her aunt, could not wear it so brightly. Xia Mengning looked at the appearance of the person standing underneath and smiled and said, "Is there anything that this girl wants to say to her aunt, yes Isn't it inconvenient for me to be here today?"

Although she smiled like this, Xia Mengning still stared at the person in front of her.

As soon as Yuyue heard this, she was a little afraid of Xia Mengning. First, she was even more panicked and hurriedly knelt on the ground. "I didn't. I just want to clean my aunt's room."

Xia Mengning took the fan in her hand and smiled with her lips. She leaned sideways and said to Ge Shi, "Auntie, look, am I scared? Why does this girl kneel down as soon as she sees me?"

Ge Shi looked at Yuyue faintly and said, "Don't clean it. The jade has been cleaned in the morning. You can go down."

Yuyue nodded in a hurry, stood up and hurried out.

Xia Mengning fanned the wind and said slowly, "Looking at the clothes worn by the girl, but this year's popular new materials and the golden hairpins on her head are not vulgar. Auntie, why can't you see them?"

Ge Shi smiled, picked up the needle and thread basket, took out a half-embroidered purse, threaded the needle and thread, embroidered it carefully, and slowly said, "I just saw it. What can I do? The jewelry and materials distributed in the house are not suitable for me. It's a pity to keep them. It's better to let the girls wear them. It's also beautiful.

Xia Mengning smiled and touched the green glazed bottom on the teacup. "My aunt is so wise that Ning'er can't do it."

Hearing this, Ge Shi looked up at his daughter who was eating tea in surprise. After a moment, he smiled knowingly, "I never want to fight for anything. I just want to protect you."

Xia Mengning smiled lightly. She took the purse in Ge's hand and embroidered it with a thin thread. After a while, the two mandarin ducks playing with the water were embroidered. Xia Mengning handed it to the Ge family. Ge took it in her hand and touched it carefully and said, "Miss San's embroidery is delicate, and the wiring is also suitable. It's really an excellent embroidery."

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Auntie, no one is born to like this boring embroidery, but many ladies still ask for a teacher at the cost of money, and practice hard every day just to have a good reputation. No one wants to fight, but sometimes the situation forces them to fight. If you let it go, you will be eaten by others.

Ge looked at Xia Mengning's solemn face, and there was a little wave in her heart. Xia Mengning covered Ge's hand with her hand, and her eyes were like a clear lake. "Auntie, Ning'er doesn't want to fight, but if there is no dispute, what will be the fate of her aunt and Ning'er? Even if our mother and daughter don't fight, these people in the house It will still frame us in every way, aunt. There is nothing we can do about many things. When you and I are in this house, we can't make the green lotus that comes out of the mud but not stained. The prime minister's house is a big dyeing tank. No matter what, it will still be stained with color.

Ge Shi looked at his 13-year-old daughter in front of him and couldn't help bursting into tears. He never wanted to fight for it, which did not mean that he would not fight for it. Now that his daughter is trapped in it, if she is still as wise as before, it is not guaranteed that something will happen to this matter. Ning'er is only 13 years old, and she can understand the great righteousness and know The twists and turns of the Tao, why should I be stuck in the past and not come out?
