Chapter 144 2

After saying this, Wei clenched his palm and said, "I'm afraid that today's matter has nothing to do with Miss San."

Xia Mengran answered, "Xia Mengning?"

Wei nodded, "But no matter what, I won't give up this opportunity."

In the bamboo garden, Xia Mengning is sitting outside the garden, wearing a thick cloak and a stove in her sleeves. Zhulian and Jiuer are collecting snow water on the plum blossoms in the garden and preparing to make cakes next year.

Xia Mengning looked at the red plums and white plums all over the garden, and suddenly remembered the scene that day when she and Changsun Yun sat opposite each other and trimmed each other's plum blossom branches. Xia Mengning sighed gently. I don't know when Changsun Yun will come back? Did the trip go well?

As he was thinking about it, he saw a man who looked like a little man at the door. Jiu'er put down the jar in her hand and went out, said a few words to the little man, and then turned around and walked back.

"Miss..." Jiu'er walked to Xia Mengning and said, "It was the person sent by Xiao Liuzi. He said that the master went back from Meifang Garden and sent a reward to the fifth aunt. It was all jewelry, as well as silk and satin."

Hearing this, Xia Mengning bent her lips and smiled, "Although Wei can endure it, she must have been angry this time." With that, Xia Mengning stood up and walked back with the heater in her arms. "Well, as long as I know that she is not feeling well, I will feel comfortable."

Jiu'er took a look at Xia Mengning, biting her lip and didn't say anything.

At dinner, Xia Mengning used to accompany Ge Shi in Meifangyuan. Coincidentally, Xia Chuanyuan was also there tonight. Xia Mengning told the kitchen to cook more dishes, and specially made his favorite chestnut duck soup for Xia Chuanyuan.

After finishing the meal, Xia Mengning herself was going back, but Xia Chuanyuan said to her, "Today I went to the bank to exchange the money, and I will send it to the palace tomorrow. I think the son of the world will return from the south of the Yangtze River."

Xia Mengning paused and nodded without saying anything. It happened that Xia Zhikang had woken up at this time, and Xia Mengning got up and retreated.

On the way back to Zhuzhi Garden, Xia Mengning tightened the cloak. Jiuer walked aside with a lantern depicting the character Ruyifu. The two were silent and stepped on the snow and returned to the garden.

When I pushed the door and went in, I saw the light on in the room. Xia Mengning and Jiu'er looked at each other and were all confused.

Entering the room, I saw Wu Qing, wearing a pink cross-neck train, sitting by the fire and burning the fire. His head was covered with green silk into a high bun. Seeing Xia Mengning and Jiu'er coming in, he laughed and said, "Where is this?"

Xia Mengning stared at her and looked at her carefully and said, "I should have asked you this. I ran out silently for a few days, but I didn't know how to say hello."

Wu Qing smiled, and his face was slightly reddish by the fire. At this time, Zhulian came in with a plate. Seeing Xia Mengning, she hurriedly said, "Miss."

He brought the plate to Wu Qing again, "Ouch, your favorite white sugar cake is hot."

Wu Qing took a few pieces and said to Xia Mengning, "Brother, something has something to do. I went to the mountain."

Hearing this, a trace of tension flashed on her face and said, "What's going on?"

Wu Qing took advantage of this time to eat a few more pieces, which seemed to fill his stomach. Then he said, "Brother felt unwell a few days ago, and it was useless to see the doctor, so he asked me to go to the mountain to find the master."

After taking a sip of tea, Wu Qing continued, "It's just that the master only listens to my description and can't judge anything else. I can only wait for the senior brother to come back and let the master diagnose him personally."

Xia Mengning's beautiful eyebrows frowned tightly and said, "What happened to Changsun Yun, why didn't you tell me?"

Wu Qing smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. My brother has repeatedly told me that I can't tell you that my brother is worried about you." With that, a trace of bitterness flashed in Wu Qing's eyes.

Xia Mengning knew the reason in her heart, but she was still worried. She paused and didn't say anything.

After a while, Wu Qing ate the plate full of white sugar cake and said to Xia Mengning, "What, I'm not in the house these days, but I miss me?"

Xia Mengning was amused by Wu Qing's appearance and didn't make a sound. Wu Qing walked to Xia Mengning with a smile and sat down. He supported his chin and said, "Changsun Ye was exiled to Longnan, but he was placed in a good garden. Other wives and concubines, including Xia Mengxi, were all placed in another garden."

Xia Mengning raised her eyebrows, "Oh? It seems that someone has intervened."

Wu Qing nodded, and Xia Mengning stretched out her hand and patted her forehead. "If there is something in the future, don't hide it from me."

With that, he said to Jiu'er, "Go and take out the moon-white jacket I made a few days ago."

Jiu'er smiled, nodded and took it. After a while, she came up with a thick jacket and skirt.

Xia Mengning looked at Wu Qing and said, "I thought you wouldn't wear a skirt, but today it's quite pleasing to see you wearing a curved train. This skirt is my new one. You can try it."

Wu Qing looked at it, took it over and said, "Thank you!"

Jiu'er covered her mouth and looked at Xia Mengning and Wu Qing's embarrasment with each other. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss, Wu Qing usually dresses in men's clothes. It's also very beautiful to see her wearing this pink dress for the first time today."

Xia Mengning nodded, "Wu Qing, you are sixteen years old this year, and it's time to discuss marriage. I thought your father would promise you to come to me at the beginning, but it was because I promised him that I would tell you a good marriage."

Wu Qing blushed in an instant, hugged his jacket and skirt in his arms. He stood up and said, "What's the matter? Which man dares to ask me like this?"

With that, he turned around and lifted the curtain and went out.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er faced each other, but they laughed at each other.

After serving Xia Mengning, she took a bath and went to bed. Jiu'er walked back to the house. Seeing that Zhulian had gone to boil hot water, Jiu'er went to the bed to make the bed.

Wu Qing sat on the couch by the window, holding his chin with his hand, and playing with his fingers boredly.

Jiu'er made the bed. Seeing Wu Qing like this, she couldn't help laughing and walked over. Her hand shook in front of Wu Qing and said with a smile, "What's the matter? I've never seen you have such an expression?"

Wu Qing was stunned and shook his head and said, "It's okay. It's just riding back. If you're tired, take a break."

Jiu'er blinked her eyes, went to the other side of the bed and sat down. She put her hands on the small table, looked at Wu Qing's eyes and said, "Don't fool me. It's obvious that you are worried."

Wu Qing patted his cheek, looked at Jiu'er unnaturally, and whispered, "Am I really so easy to be seen through?"

Jiu'er nodded seriously and raised her chin to Wu Qingyang, "Say, what's the matter?"

Wu Qing was silent for a while and rubbed his hands folded. Jiu'er was not in a hurry. He just looked at her. For a long time, Wu Qingcai said, "When I was a child, I grew up in the mountains and had been practicing with my master. When I was a child, I knew a person who was several years older than me. His martial arts skills were very high, and he could always beat me. I We practiced swords together every day, but one day, he suddenly disappeared. I had a serious illness, and then my memory declined a little, but I always remembered this person's appearance in a hazy way, and I always wanted to find him.

Jiu'er could hear God and said, "What happened later? Have you found it?"

Wu Qing thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No, I went back to ask Master today. Master said that he didn't know that person either. It seems that I can't find him."

Jiu'er sighed and comforted, "Don't be sad, Wu Qing. If you are predestined, we will meet again."

Wu Qing listened, but suddenly laughed, patted Jiu'er's hand and said, "Well, well, I'm so tired after three days. Go and help me wash my feet."

Jiu'er nodded and walked down. Wu Qing's smile stiffened at the corners of her mouth the moment Jiu'er turned around, and gradually disappeared. Instead, she looked lonely.

She has found him, the man she has been looking for, but what's the use? After so many years, he should have forgotten.

Wu Qing looked at the sky outside the window, and the snowflakes were flying all over the sky. She suddenly felt that her nose was sore, and a drop of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes and quickly disappeared.

At night, the Prime Minister's mansion was all asleep. Only a few sporadic candlelight was still burning, and several pairs of patrolling nurses walked back and forth, but because of the cold weather, the frequency of patrols was also reduced.

Under the moonlight, a man in a gray-black dress came out, and his figure was quickly mixed with the night. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

The figure quietly walked into the stewer's room, took out the key from his arms, gently pried it, opened the lock, dodged in, and then closed the door.

The stewer's room was nothing more than some account books and all kinds of sundries. The man looked around and saw two large boxes piled up in the left corner.

The man walked over and opened the box. He saw that there were rows of silver ingots in it. Seeing so much money in front of him, the man smiled contemptuously, and then took out a cloth bag from his arms and put the ingots into the cloth bag.

The next day, before dawn, a rapid knock on the door woke Xia Mengning and rubbed her eyes. Xia Mengning put on a dress and sat up and asked through the curtain, "Jiu'er, Zhulian, what's wrong with you outside?"

After a while, Xia Mengning heard footsteps from outside. The person who came was Jiu'er. When Xia Mengning was about to ask, she heard Jiu'er say, "Miss, it was Xiao Liuzi who sent someone. He said that the master had something urgent to call the whole house to the front hall."

Xia Mengning sat in ** and asked, "What time is it?"

As he spoke, he put on his own clothes. Jiu'er quickly helped Xia Mengning dress up and answered, "Just a moment." Pearl Lotus has brought hot water in here. After washing her face, Xia Mengning hurriedly tied her bun and rushed to the front hall.

The three masters and servants walked out of the room. Xia Mengning thought for a moment and asked, "Can you inform your mother?"

Jiu'er shook her head: "When the little sixth son came, he said that the master asked him to inform his wife for fear of waking up the young master. The lady was still very weak."
