Chapter 287 Singing a double reed
She took small steps to Rongfutang. Xie was having lunch. At this time, it was actually extremely rude to visit people, but Xie was eating with her precious son. Although the granddaughter didn't like it, she was afraid of her son's face, and it was not easy to do too much.
When Chen's mother came in to report, Xie said lazily, "Let her in."
Xia Mengru entered the door and saw that Xie and Xia Chuansheng were eating. Her stomach also grunted. Looking at the table, the table was full of mountain and sea delicacies, exuding a strong fragrance. Xia Mengru couldn't help it.
"I've met my grandmother and my father."
It's okay. I didn't forget the salute.
Xia Chuansheng didn't care and casually said, "What, what are you doing here?"
Xia Mengru was stunned and said hurriedly, "Ru'er came to the house for the first time. She wanted to come to her grandmother to talk to her grandmother and show filial piety."
Xia Chuansheng nodded, and Xie Shi reluctantly comforted her heart, but when she saw that Xia Mengru came to see herself three poles this day, she was still unhappy, so she said coldly, "I came so late, I've had lunch. Why don't the six girls have some together?"
This was obviously a eviction order, but Xia Mengru was born without a string in her head and did not react. She thought that Xie's performance liked her. At that moment, she said 'hey' crisply, sat down on the chair and swallowed saliva at the delicious food on the table.
Xie was almost mad. She didn't know whether the granddaughter was really stupid or fake. The slaves and maidservants in the room also looked at Xia Mengru strangely, but the person concerned about the matter didn't care and shouted, "Grandma, my granddaughter doesn't have chopsticks."
Xie's old face was so gloomy that she was about to drip water. She grinded her teeth and said, "Go and get a pair of chopsticks for Miss Six."
The girls saw that Xie's face was unhappy, and when they saw that the atmosphere on the court was wrong, no one dared to take it. It was rare for Xia Mengru to meet such a table of delicious food. She was too anxious to eat. In a blink of an eye, she saw that Xie had leaned on the chair and did not move his chopsticks. Xia Mengru hurriedly said, "Grandma, have you finished eating?"
Xie was stunned. She didn't know why Xia Mengru asked like this. Before she answered, she stretched out her hands and quickly took away her chopsticks. Xia Mengru picked up a large piece of braised pork with Xie's chopsticks and put it in her mouth and chewed it. She smiled and said to Xie, "Thank you, grandmother... Since you have finished eating, your granddaughter will use your Chopsticks, anyway, my granddaughter doesn't dislike you..."
Xie Shi was almost crazy. Xia Chuansheng couldn't stand it. As soon as his eyes turned, he said viciously, "Ru'er, don't be rude!"
Xia Mengru was shocked by Xia Chuansheng's shouting and said timidly, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Xia Chuansheng sighed, "Do you look like a lady like this? Why do you look more and more like a poor girl from a remote country? Is that what your mother taught you?
Xia Mengru was stunned and put down the chopsticks in her hand reluctantly. Xie also frowned. "This girl has been raised outside for many years, and Qian is also a dilapidated official lady. Presumably this rule must not be taught well."
With that, Xie looked at Xia Chuansheng and said, "Son, come in with me. I have something to tell you."
Xia Chuansheng nodded, looked at Xia Mengru, and said, "Get out of here and stay in the room, so as not to be embarrassed."
Xia Mengru was scared by Xia Chuansheng's eyes. Xia Chuansheng was a little violent. There were often things that beat and scolded his wife, concubines and children. Xia Mengru was also beaten. Naturally, she did not dare to fight against him.
When she stood up and walked out, Xia Mengru glanced at the fragrant meat buns on the table. While Xia Chuan was not paying attention, she quickly reached out and took two and stuffed them in the sleeve cage.
She thought that no one would see this action. In fact, all the girl in the house looked at it carefully. In less than a day, it spread all over the world.
Xia Chuansheng was called into the inner room by Xie. Xie sat on the couch and said, "Song Er, you have returned to your house now. It's time to add a few concubines around here. It's a first-class event to pass on the family."
Xia Chuansheng himself is lustful, and now he is naturally very willing. Xie nodded when he saw Xia Chuansheng and said, "You can see it today. There are shortcomings in the conduct and rules of the six girls. This Qian family is also the one you married before. It used to be the past and now is now. You are the second master in this house. How can you even be serious? There is no legitimate son. The Qian family is already old and yellow. I'm afraid he can't have children anymore. You should also think about marrying another wife.
Xia Chuansheng smiled and said, "It's still the mother who loves the child the most. Qian's heart is honest and it's boring to talk. If it hadn't been for her short-lived father who could have taken out some money, how could she marry such a salt-free girl?"
Xie Shi looked at Xia Chuansheng happily and didn't feel that it was so bad to say this kind of unsympathetic words from her son. Instead, she was relieved that her precious son could listen to her words.
Xie took a roll of notes from the drawer beside him and spread them out one by one for Xia Chuansheng. It was full of portraits of the ladies who had not left the cabinet in the capital. These were arranged by Xie early. The girls above were carefully selected by Xie, and their appearance and family background were excellent.
At first glance, Xia Chuansheng was happy. He looked at it one by one, and then he was a little unhappy. "Mother, the woman above is beautiful. Why is it all from a commoner?"
Xie Blinked her eyes and said, "What's wrong with the concubine? You are the second master, and you don't have the real power to rely on. You don't rely on the reputation of your eldest brother. How can the legitimate daughter of Gaomen marry you? What about the concubine? One is easy to suppress. If you pass through the door, your eyes will not be higher than the top, and you will cause trouble everywhere. The second one is still humble. In the future, the power of her mother's family will definitely be used by you.
When Xie Shi said this, Xia Chuansheng also thought about it and nodded his head and said, "It's still the mother's thoughtful. In this case, the mother can decide whatever she wants, and the child listens to the mother."
Xie nodded with a smile and studied with Xia Chuansheng.
Xia Mengru and the girl Jinglan went back to listen to Yuzhai. On the way, they had already swallowed the two steamed buns. Jinglan looked aside and did not say anything, but the contempt in her eyes was real.
Back to listen to Yuzhai, Qian was already waiting for her in the room. Seeing Xia Mengru coming back, she hurried forward and asked, "Well, what did your grandmother say?"
Xia Mengru didn't care and told Qian about it. Finally, she said, "I really don't know what's wrong with my grandmother. She won't even leave me for a meal. I don't care about her. The old woman..."
Qian held her forehead and frowned and said, "Ru'er, I asked you to please your grandmother. You're good. You didn't get up until you slept until the sun, but you rushed there when they were eating. You are..."
Qian Shi has felt that she has nothing to say. This daughter is born upright and can't turn at all. That's all. Now she is thirteen years old. She can't teach her everything by herself. It's a blessing or a curse. She has to make a breakthrough by herself.
Thinking of this, Qian sighed and said, "Ru'er, mother advises you that if you want to marry the prince, you have to find a way to change this lazy and greedy problem in the future. You have to learn more from Xia Mengning and see how others do things. Think about what a noble person the prince is. If he sees you like this How can I like you when I'm so greedy?"
Xia Mengru was not happy, but she was worried about what Qian said that the son liked these four words and didn't say anything. After a while, she said, "My daughter remembers it. Just change it in the future."
Mr. Qian is relieved that it is not a bad thing to let Ruer change with this.
Thinking of this, Qian took advantage of the hot railway: "Also, if the prince likes Xia Mengning, then Xia Mengning naturally has a place that the prince likes. You might as well learn more and see how Xia Mengning usually speaks and does things, so that you can think more about the prince's preferences."
Hearing this, Xia Mengru smiled and said, "Yes, mother, why didn't I think of it?"
Jinglan listened outside the house and was very contemptuous. She was the girl bought by the Wei family and put it beside Xia Mengru. She just wanted to take the opportunity to provoke the war between Xia Mengru and Xia Mengning.
Now that the two finally heard that the two talked about this matter, Jinglan knew that her opportunity had come.
"Second Lady!" Jinglan stood outside the room and shouted.
Qian was stunned and looked at him and said, "Come in."
Jinglan came in and said, "My maidservant came to deliver tea."
After adding tea to the two, Jinglan said, "Miss Six, when I first went to the steward's room, I heard the girl of Zhuzhiyuan say that the prince is coming to the house this afternoon."
Xia Mengru was stunned and then smiled and said, "Really?"
Jinglan nodded, "I just heard about it. I don't know if it's true or not."
Xia Mengru was already overspered when she heard this. She didn't care whether it was true or not. She hurriedly turned her head and grabbed Qian's hand and said, "Mother, do you hear that the prince is coming. The mother is going to dress up her daughter quickly. The daughter wants to see the prince beautifully."
Qian was more stable than Xia Mengru and asked Jinglan, "Who are you talking about?"
Jinglan replied, "I heard it from the maidservant in the steward room. The girl is the Jiu'er girl next to the third lady. She is the third lady's personal maid. She has won the trust of the third lady the most. She must have said it from her mouth. It can't be faked."
Qian nodded. Xia Mengru was so happy that she took Qian's hand and walked to the mirror. "Mother, dress up your daughter quickly."
Seeing that Xia Mengru was so excited, Qian couldn't bear to brush her excitement, so she picked up the comb and dressed Xia Mengru up.
At this time, a girl came to report outside the door, saying that Xia Chuansheng went back to Qian's house. Qian nodded, turned to Xia Mengru and said, "Ru'er, you have to remember what your mother said." Xia Mengru nodded, didn't pay attention to Qian's words at all, and smeared it in the mirror.
Seeing that Qian Shi left, Jinglan stepped forward to dress up Xia Mengru with a smile and said, "Miss is so beautiful. How can you dress up so beautifully?"
Xia Mengru is very useful. In fact, she was born about the same as Qian's. Her facial features are a little dull, and she is barely a beautiful woman.
Jinglan is not kind-hearted. Naturally, she will not give Xia Mengru a good move. Xia Mengru has never seen so many kinds of powder and hairpins, so she piled all the good colors on her head with joy. In the end, Xia Mengru dressed herself up as a stranger and painted strong eye makeup. Thick black eyebrows, big blood-red lips smeared by lip fat, and all the hairpins on the bun. Jinglan looked aside and couldn't help laughing. Xia Mengru didn't care much and continued to wear it on her head with a hairpin.
The news that Changsun Yun was coming was deliberately released by Xia Mengning in order to attract two uneasy and kind-hearted people in this house.
The warm afternoon sun made people want to dozed off. Xia Mengning and Changsun Yun sat in the pavilion and played against each other, surrounded by warm yellow Xiangfei bamboo curtains, blocking the fine sunlight.
Changsun Yun held the black chess in his hand and slowly put it into the chessboard and smiled, "It turned out that I was going to borrow my hand to help you do things. Ninger, I knew you wouldn't be so easy for me to come here."
Xia Mengning stuck out her tongue playfully and said with a smile, "Didn't I just call you? If it's not good, why don't I call others?"
Changsun Yun smiled, and his wide sleeves brushed the chessboard. He never swept off a piece, but he held Xia Mengning's soft pancreas tightly. "Ninger, why don't you admit that you miss me? Like me, I dare to admit it."
Xia Mengning raised her eyebrows slightly, and her long and narrow phoenix eyes flowed with a unique charm. When the amorous eyebrows looked at Changsun Yun, it really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Xia Mengning saw Changsun Yun's face stagnated and said with a smile, "If you don't want to help me, forget it. You go and I'll find someone else."
Before he finished speaking, he was brought into Changsun Yun's arms, "Do you dare?!"
Changsun Yun said, and his lips gently brushed her cheeks. He was satisfied to see that the little woman in his arms blushed, and her pink lips were slightly squeezed, with indescribable **.
Xia Mengning stared at him and said angrily, "Don't you dare... Don't you dare?"
Changsun Yun shook his head, "No, what did you do earlier? Now it's too late to admit my mistake..." With that, Changsun Yun said in a slightly hoarse voice, "No, I want a little benefit, just a little bit..."
The thin lips as soft as peach blossoms were slightly covered, and there were curtains around. No one could see the scene in the pavilion. Xia Meng stretched out her hand and pinched it fiercely around his waist, and twisted it without let go, "Changsun Yun, you bastard..."
"Three sisters...Three sisters..."
At this moment, a brisk voice interrupted the beautiful scenery. Xia Mengning suddenly stood up from Changsun Yun's arms and hurriedly tidyed up her clothes.
Changsun Yun frowned and whispered, "Damn it!"
Xia Mengning smiled and motioned him not to talk.
Outside the pavilion, Jiu'er said respectfully, "Miss Seven, Miss San is in the game with the prince. You'd better come back another day."
As soon as Xia Mengrong heard this, she was very happy. Sure enough, Liuyan came to tell herself at noon that the prince would come to the house after lunch. Now she saw that it was there, and it seemed that Liuyan was quite useful.
Hearing this, Xia Mengrong covered up her happiness and said nervously, "So it's like this... It's Rong'er who oversteps it..."
Jiu'er didn't say anything and looked at Xia Mengrong coldly.
Xia Mengrong gritted her teeth and knew that Xia Mengning would definitely not let herself see the prince. She was so beautiful. If the prince saw her, she might like her. Although Xia Mengning is also a charming face, how could she be as innocent and cute?
Xia Mengrong weighed it in her heart and knelt on the ground and said, "Little girl Xia Mengrong, I have seen the prince, and I can't salute her face to face. The sins of the little girl are true. The little girl has worshipped the prince here, and the prince is happy and healthy."
After saying that, there was no sound in the pavilion. Xia Mengrong bit her lips unwillingly, or stood up and walked back. Isn't the prince curious at all about the pretentious plan just now?
Xia Mengrong couldn't figure out why Xia Mengning didn't let Xia Mengning go in and meet him, but how could the prince not be curious?
Xia Mengrong walked back slowly, thinking that this opportunity could not be lost like this.
At this moment, there was a voice behind him, "Who is it?" Come in and talk."
The sound sounded like nature in Xia Mengrong's ears. She hurriedly calmed down and turned around and walked forward.
Jiu'er hit the curtain, and Xia Mengrong lowered her head and went into the pavilion. The purpose was a pair of boots embroidered with auspicious clouds. She thought it must be the prince. Xia Mengrong was very excited and hurriedly saluted and said, "Little girl Xia Mengrong, I have met the prince and the third sister."
Xia Mengning sat aside and looked at Changsun Yun with a smile. Changsun Yun smiled back at her, then turned her face, restored the iceberg face, and said, "Get up."
Xia Mengrong stood up, but did not dare to look up. Xia Mengning looked at it and said with a smile, "Seven sister, don't be restrained. They are all her own people. Sit down quickly."
Xia Mengrong walked aside and sat down. Only then did she dare to look up quietly look up at Chang Sun Yun. At a glance, Xia Mengrong's heart was full of ups and downs. How could there be such a beautiful man in the world, as warm as jade, just like a person who came out of a book?
Xia Mengrong lowered her head and her cheeks turned red. Changsun Yun, who was still playing with Xia Mengning, was ** aware of Xia Mengrong's low head and shyness. Not only did she have no sense of achievement in her heart, but she also felt a little nauseous. If it weren't for his baby Ninger, how could Changsun Yun allow such a woman to think about herself? .
There was anger in his heart. Changsun Yun became heavier when he did it. Xia Mengning covered her mouth and smiled secretly. Then she reached out and knocked on the back of Changsun Yun's hand a few times. She silently said, "Thank you."
Changsun Yun was like a child who got candy. Xia Mengning's small move drove his unhappiness away.
Xia Mengrong sat aside but didn't dare to speak. However, Xia Mengning and Changsun Yun were playing chess silently and ignored Xia Mengrong, which really made her anxious.
At this time, I heard a sound of fast footsteps outside, and Xia Mengning sneered slightly in her heart. This good play was finally coming to the stage.
