Chapter 181 The moth 1

Xia Mengning returned to the house. When it was almost Hai, Zhulian had already prepared hot water for Xia Mengning to bathe. After washing, Xia Mengning sat on the couch to dry her hair and sewed clothes for Xia Zhikang with full of energy.

Jiu'er wiped Xia Mengning's hair with a dry silk cloth. Zhulian came in with a bowl of steaming Ruyi lotus leaf soup and said with a smile, "Miss, it's been tossing for so half a night. It's time to be hungry. The maidservant boiled this hot soup with rose dew with the lotus cloth picked in midsummer. Miss, try it."

Ruyi lotus leaf soup exuded a warm fragrance. Xia Mengning took it with a smile, scooped it up with a spoon and put it on her mouth to test the temperature. It was just right. Xia Mengning thought that it must have been filled out and dried by the time she came back, so the temperature was just right.

Xia Mengning took a sip, narrowed her eyes and smiled at Zhulian, "It's delicious, sweet but not greasy, and the mouth is smooth. Zhulian, you are very sweet."

Zhulian was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Xia Mengning. She shook her body from side to side with the tray in her hand. "The maidservant is not as good as Wu Qing, and it is not as good as Jiu'er's appearance. Only this crude craftsmanship is not bad. The young lady does not dislike the maidservant, and the maidservant is already very happy."

Hearing this, Jiu'er smiled and said, "Miss, look at Sister Zhulian, and she still said that she can't speak."

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "The three of you are equally important in my heart. In this house, except for my mother and Kang'er, the three of you are closest to me."

Zhulian and Jiu'er both nodded. Xia Mengning was usually very kind to them, and they also knew in their hearts. Now that they heard Xia Mengning say this, both of them were extremely moved.

After hurriedly drinking the soup in the bowl, Zhulian cleaned it up. Jiu'er also dried Xia Mengning's hair and made the bed. Xia Mengning sewed her sleeves and looked at Jiu'er and said, "You go down first. I'll sleep later."

Jiu'er nodded and walked down. Xia Mengning continued to sew the clothes in her hand with her head down.

I don't know how long it took. Xia Mengning heard a slight noise in front of her and looked up. Sure enough, it was Changsun Yun.

Reaching out her hand and carrying the teapot from the charcoal basin next to her. Xia Mengning poured a cup of hot milk for Changsun Yun and said, "Drink some to warm up."

Changsun Yun stretched out his hand and took it over. He looked over to see half of the children's clothes sewed by Xia Mengning on the table. He smiled and said, "You can also embroider the wedding clothes. I'm still waiting for the clothes you made for me by yourself."

The custom of the northern country is that the wedding clothes before marriage are sewn by the bride himself. In addition, she has to make a whole set of clothes for her husband, from the inner clothes to the outer clothes, shoes and socks, all by herself.

Xia Mengning will be fourteen years old after the Spring Festival. After the marriage agreement with Changsun Yun, that is, she will get married the year after next. Speaking of which, this life has passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she will get married.

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "It's still early."

Changsun Yun shook his head, "What, the betrothal gift will come to the door after the Spring Festival. Aren't you ready?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold her hand. Changsun Yun still thought that Xia Meng was staring at his eyes on the Appreciation Building just now, and couldn't help but want to be alone with Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning pulled back her hand, took a look at Chang Sun Yun, and changed the topic and said, "How to deal with it?"

Changsun Yun smiled, sat back, leaned on the soft quilt behind him and said, "As my uncle wanted, Donglingmo gave up the city to the North, and took the abandoned Yu Ziran back, promising to give her a concubine."

Xia Mengning took a sip of tea and smiled, "What about the princess?"

Changsun Yun shrugged his shoulders, "It was accepted by Changsun Mo, and some will relieve boredom in the future."

Xia Mengning nodded and deliberately looked at Changsun Yun and asked, "Are you uncomfortable watching the flower-like princess being married to someone else?"

Changsun Yun was drinking the milk tea in his hand. He almost spit it out when he heard the words. He put down the teacup in his hand and wiped his mouth. Chang Sun Yun said with great aggrievedness, "Ninger, what are you talking about? When did I feel uncomfortable?"

Xia Mengning smiled. Seeing that the usually unruly eldest grandson Yun's coquettish appearance was very interesting, she couldn't help reaching out and pinching his cheek.

Changsun Yun took the opportunity to hold Xia Mengning's hand, "Good Ninger, you have to believe me..."

Xia Mengning nodded, "I'm kidding you, and you also believe..."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Xia Mengning said, "After drinking this cup of tea, go back quickly. It's getting late."

Changsun Yun nodded, and the two talked again, and then Chang Sun Yun got up and left.

This matter was settled. Dongling Mo took Yu Ziran back to the Western Regions, but Dongling Xingluo was left behind and married Changsun Mo as the imperial concubine.

Everyone knows what's going on, but it's not easy to make more comments because of the position of the eldest grandson Mo's prince. When Xia Mengning went to Yong'an Hall in the morning, she saw the well-dressed Xia Chuanyuan.

"I've met my father."

Xia Chuanyuan waved his hand and said, "Get up. I'm going to the Mowang Mansion for my father today, and I won't come back for lunch."

Xia Mengning knew that Xia Chuanyuan was going to participate in the marriage of Changsun Mo and Dongling Xingluo. At present, she just nodded and did not comment.

On the way back to Zhuzhiyuan with Jiu'er, Xia Mengning said, "Can you send someone to Shangshufu to hand over the post?"

Jiu'er nodded, "The maidservant told the servant that he had gone now."

Xia Mengning nodded and Jiu'er asked, "Miss, the marriage between the princess of the Western Regions and Prince Mo is in such a hurry. Why don't the Princess of the Western Regions lose her temper?"

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Donglingmo has returned to China now. What Dongling Xingluo said is just a famous princess. How can she be arrogant? However, according to her temperament, it is not so easy to make her calm."

The two talked and walked on the path. Because of the heavy snow in the past few days, the plum blossoms planted in the garden have bloomed. Xia Mengning looked sideways and smiled and said, "This red plum is like fire and white plum is like snow. It's really blooming very well."

Jiu'er also looked at it and said with a smile, "Miss, let's fold a few back and insert them in the blue and white glazed porcelain bottle given to you by Shizi. How beautiful it is."

Xia Mengning nodded, and the two bent down and walked in. As soon as Xia Mengning entered, she saw a looming red figure in front of her. Looking at the back, it should be a woman.

Jiu'er also saw it and deliberately coughed twice, "Who is the one in front? I haven't come to see Miss San."

As soon as the voice fell, the figure paused for a moment, turned around and came over. In front of him, Xia Mengning saw clearly that it was Chen's mother's granddaughter, Cai Wei.

Cai Wei was stunned and looked at Xia Mengning. The girl was wearing a wide cloak, embroidered with graceful begonia flowers with gold thread. The horse skirt exposed at the bottom was also painted with gold thread. Her head was full of green silk stacked on the top of her head, and a set of golden sparrows came out of emerald jade. The gorgeous color was very eye-catching, white. The beautiful and small earlobe is worn with gold beads and jade earrings. Xia Mengning herself has an excellent appearance. Now such a dress shows everyone's beautiful temperament.

In contrast to myself, although a Beijing-embroidered red skirt is newly made, the red gold hairpin on the face is also the most expensive hairpin I have today, but even if dressed like this, in front of Xia Mengning, it is still inferior.

Cai Wei bit her lip and was a little envious of Xia Mengning's dress. Obviously, her appearance was not inferior, but it was just a little worse than Xia Mengning's background. However, she was a high-ranking young lady and had a marriage with the handsome and unparalleled prince, but she, even if her appearance was excellent, she could only be a concubine. .

Thinking of this, Cai Wei's face didn't look good, but when she thought of what the old lady promised her now, she was happy again. She imagined that with her own appearance, she might be the hostess of this house in the future. At that time, the third lady and the fifth lady would have to act according to her face.

After tidying up her dress, Cai Wei stepped forward and met Xia Mengning's master and servant. Then she smiled sweetly and symbolically bent down and said, "Cai Wei has met Miss San."

Hearing that Cai Wei did not call herself a maidservant but said her name, Jiuer frowned and was about to make trouble. She heard Xia Meng's soft voice, "It's you, the cold sky, what are you doing here?"

Cai Wei straightened up, looked at Xia Mengning's face, and smiled, "The old lady always talks about whether the plum blossoms in the garden have bloomed, but there is no one around me who can fold the plum blossoms. I came here to fold a few, thinking of going back and inserting it in the bottle for the old lady."

When he spoke, Danfeng's eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at Xia Mengning, which was very contempt.

Does this mean that you, a granddaughter, have no filial piety, but teach yourself a lesson in person?

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "You are the granddaughter of Chen's mother. I thought your rules should be excellent. How can I see you today? You are so arrogant and presumptuous!"

With that, Xia Mengning's expression cooled down. She never knew that this woman dared to provoke her to her face. Well, very good. Xia Mengning resisted the anger in her heart. She hadn't treated them in the house for so many days, and this group of people had forgotten their means.

Cai Wei didn't expect Xia Mengning to say this. A white and beautiful face rose up and looked invincible. She smiled and said, "What is Miss San's saying? Cai Wei can't understand."

Xia Mengning looked at the woman in front of her and said, "Oh? Don't understand? Jiu'er, go up and teach her well."

Jiu'er looked aside and had long been dissatisfied with Cai Wei's disrespect for Xia Mengning. Now when she heard that Xia Mengning finally let herself take action, she hurriedly answered, "Yes, Miss."

Cai Wei was stunned and was slapped in the face by Jiu'er before she could react.

Cai Wei covered her face and couldn't believe it. She has always been the apple of the family since she was a child. Her mother has said to herself since she was a child that her appearance is excellent, and she will definitely marry an official eunuch or Mr. Wang Sun in the future. Therefore, she cares about her appearance very much, but today she was beaten by a subordinate. In the face, Cai Wei gritted her teeth and shouted, "Why do you hit me?"
