Chapter 141 Upper 3

Entering the garden, there was only a light on the room inside. Xiao Lv was standing at the door. Seeing that Wei had gone, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Wei waved his hand, "Where's Miss Five?"

Xiao Lv hurriedly said, "If you go back to your aunt, Miss Wu was in the room and said that she would not be disturbed. The maidservant went to deliver food and was also thrown out by Miss Wu."

Wei frowned, "Is this the case these days?"

Xiao Lv nodded and said, "Auntie, don't be angry. Miss Wu also can't think about it for a while. As long as she waits for a while, I will definitely help persuade the young lady."

Wei frowned and said, "What, are you afraid that I will punish her?"

Little Green hurriedly bowed his head, "I dare not!"

Wei squeezed his lips, shook his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go first and have a look."

With that, he opened the door and walked in. Xiao Lv said in front of him, "Miss, the fifth aunt is here."

There was no sound in it. Wei went in and saw Xia Mengran sitting on the small couch. There was a collection of poems and a ladle of square paper on the table. Xia Mengran was writing on the desk with no expression on his face.

Wei frowned and said, "Go and light a few more candles. The room is very dark."

Xiao Lv hurriedly turned to get the candle and lit it separately. Wei sat on the side of the small couch, looked at Xia Mengran, who was still slowly copying the poetry book, and whispered, "Raan'er, is it okay for your aunt to eat with you today?"

Xia Mengran didn't make a sound, but just continued to write. Wei called her a few times in a row. Finally, she was a little impatient and said to the girl beside her, "Come and bring the food."

With that, he started to grab the paper and pen in Xia Mengran's hand.

Xia Mengran suddenly raised his head and looked at Wei with a pair of indifferent eyes. Wei was shocked and saw tears flowing from the corners of Xia Mengran's eyes.

"Ran'er..."

Xia Mengran turned his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, you see, I'm already working hard. I can't compare with Xia Mengning's ability to paint. I have to practice writing diligently. I can't compare with Xia Mengning's ability to stroke the piano and dance. I have to practice female red embroidery diligently. I have worked very hard. Why, the prince of the world just can't see me. For What..."

With that, big tears slipped from the corners of his eyes. When Wei saw his daughter so sad for the first time, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and held Xia Mengran in his arms.

"Auntie, my daughter really, really likes the prince... Since she met the prince on the street that day, the daughter has decided not to marry this life... Obviously, the daughter met the prince earlier than her. Why is she in the eyes of the only one in Xia Mengning..."

Wei's heart twitched when she heard this, and she felt as painful as a needle. Her daughter cried so sadly in front of her, but there was nothing she could do.

Zhang's mother greeted several little girls and went out. Wei patted Xia Mengran on the back, "You don't have to be sad. If you want it, your aunt will definitely help you."

Xia Mengran raised his head and was a little unbelievable, "Really? Didn't my aunt say that she was not allowed to have any wrong thoughts..."

Wei shook his head and stretched out his hand to wipe Xia Mengran's tears. "Silly daughter, you are my aunt's heart. In the past, my aunt thought you were ignorant but just wanted face. Now my aunt knows that you are sincere. How can your aunt be willing to make you so sad?"

Xia Mengran was moved, rushed into Wei's arms and cried.

The two used the meal. Wei repeatedly told Xiao Lu to take good care of Xia Mengran, and then turned around and went back.

Xiao Lv helped Xia Mengran back to the house. Seeing that Xia Mengran was still a little dizzy, he hurried to boil sugar water for Xia Mengran.

Walking into the room, he saw Xia Mengran lying by the window and looking at the scenery in the yard. Xiao Lv called softly, "Miss, I cooked sugar water for you. Please drink some."

Xia Mengran turned her head, took Xiao Lv's hand and smiled, "Auntie really promised me, Xiao Lv, did you hear me? My aunt really promised me..."

Xiao Lv saw Xia Mengran smile for the first time in so many days. At that time, she was in a better mood. Then she smiled and said, "I'll tell you. My fifth aunt hurts the young lady in her heart."

Xia Mengran took the sugar water, took a few sips and put it down. He said, "Go and prepare a hot bath for me. I'm going to get up early tomorrow to say good luck to my father."

Xiao Lv smiled and nodded to prepare.

The next day, Xia Mengran got up early, let Xiao Lv serve and wear clothes, and carefully traced her eyebrows and lips. She looked like a soft lady and went to Yong'an Hall.

Entering Yong'an Hall, I saw that Xia Chuanyuan was already sitting on the head. Xia Mengning was also sitting aside and talking to Xia Chuanyuan. Xia Mengran walked forward and said, "My daughter has met my father, my father is happy, and I have met my third sister."

Xia Chuanyuan was a little strange, but he still coughed and asked Xia Mengran to get up. He asked with concern, "The girl said you were sick. Are you all right?"

Xia Mengran was busy and blessed. "Thanks Dad for his care. My daughter's body is already well. I haven't been able to serve my father these days, and my daughter is ashamed to calm herself."

Xia Mengning frowned and looked at Xia Mengran, but smiled again.

When Xia Chuanyuan heard Xia Mengran say this, he felt very much in his heart, "Don't be polite. You can rest when you are sick. I'll ask the girl to go to the warehouse to bring you some medicinal herbs for your body."

"Thank you, Dad." Xia Mengran is blessed.

Xia Chuanyuan shook his hand and then said, "by the way, has your second brother come back recently?"

Hearing the words, Xia Mengran shook his head, "My daughter has never seen the second brother."

Xia Mengning paused and asked quickly, "Dad, but what happened to the second brother?"

When asked this question, Xia Mengran was also worried in a hurry. After all, his second brother is the person she can rely on in the future.

Xia Chuanyuan shook his head and said, "It's been cold these days. I originally asked someone to take some winter clothes to give him, but unexpectedly, Shen'er hasn't been to Hanlin Academy for several days."

As he was talking, Xiao Liuzi came in, holding a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Sir, this was sent by the little man in the second young master's room. He said he found it by the bed this morning."

Xia Chuanyuan's eyelids jumped, and there was an ominous feeling. When he took a look, Xia Chuanyuan immediately stared at him and couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open.

Xia Mengning was puzzled and stepped forward to pick up the paper that Xia Chuanyuan didn't hold firmly. At a rough look, she knew the whole story.

"Shen'er... How can he be so stubborn..." Xia Chuanyuan was so angry that he shook his sleeves and said, "Go on my order and find the second young master as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will all come to see me."

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly walked down. Xia Mengning sighed. She didn't know what was wrong with her mysterious second brother. She actually left a piece of letter saying that he wanted to travel around the world again and enrich himself. It used to be like this, but now he is already the emperor's appointed by the palace. I'm afraid that such a leave without saying goodbye will bring a lot of trouble to my father.

Xia Chuanyuan obviously had a headache. At this time, a little girl-like man ran in and told her that her fifth aunt had something to meet.

Xia Chuanyuan was angry. When he thought of his fifth aunt, he said, "Let her in."

Wei has taken away all her dowry jewelry and nominally sold all the dowry shops, but Wei is not so stupid. If something happens to this, she will lose her wife and soldiers, so she did not sell all the shops, but sold a few rooms under the banner, and the rest The name has been quietly changed.

"The maidservant has met the master and the third lady."

Wei has always been a polite person, and his efforts in front of people have always been watertight.

Xia Chuanyuan ignored her invitation, but covered his face and said, "Look, your good son is already sixteen years old. Why do you run away from home? How do you usually teach him? You don't make it well, but you have to go all over the world as your home. Now it's like this. You say, how should I go to the emperor to explain for him? He is just capricious and reckless. But at this time, it's a dangerous time. In case the emperor is angry with our house because of this matter, this How to change it, huh?!"

Being said so ruthlessly by Xia Chuanyuan, Wei's face was as usual. Xia Mengning looked carefully at the expression on Wei's face without a trace of anger.

Xia Zhishen has been sent out to study since he was a child. The Wei family had no time to teach him at all. In addition, even if Xia Zhishen stays in the house, this responsibility of discipline is also the responsibility of Xia Chuan and his direct mother. Wei's aunt, Xia Zhishen can't even call his mother, but at this time, Xia Chuanyuan complained about Wei's wife. OK.

Xia Mengning looked at the Wei family carefully and saw that the Wei family's face was as plain as usual, but there was a slight self-reproach and guilt. Xia Mengning was heart-inning. This Wei family was really an old man.

Thinking about it, I saw Wei kneel down to the ground with a 'plop' and said, "It's the fault of the maidservant's concubine. Please don't be angry. If you are angry, the maidservant will be even more guilty."

Xia Mengning bent the corners of her mouth. This Wei family is really a very good actor. Obviously, she is half angry, but her face is still respectful.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Chuanyuan heard this, he was also silent. Seeing that Wei looked docile, he was a little upset. After all, this matter had nothing to do with Wei. Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan's anger on his face stopped a little. He went to the top and sat down and asked, "Well, what's the matter with you coming to see me? ? "

Wei slowly raised her head and said, "My concubine heard that the water in the south of the Yangtze River is serious and needs silver for disaster relief. The master has been worried these days. The maidservant has been in charge of all her dowry jewelry in the pawnshop, and the dowry shop has also been sold. She borrowed it from left and right, gathered these three million taels of silver, and specially came to offer it. Sir, I hope I can help you solve your urgent needs.

With that, he took out a few silver tickets from his arms, presented them with both hands, and handed them to Xia Chuanyuan.

"Real?" Xia Chuanyuan was overjoyed. He hurriedly stood up and walked to the Wei family, reached out to take the silver tickets, confirmed that they were correct, and then hurriedly pulled the Wei family up from the ground.

"You..." Xia Chuanyuan looked at Wei's appearance and felt a little guilty. It was difficult for her to give up everything to plan for herself. He also knew that Wei's mother's family was the largest salt merchant in the country. After this incident, he also thought about using the relationship to borrow some silver, but he also knew that Wei's eldest daughter married to the prime minister's mansion. When he came to be a concubine, he had fallen out with the family. Thinking of these silver tickets in his hand, although Wei said a few words, Xia Chuanyuan could also think of the difficulties.
