Chapter 10 About Jiu'er 1
Xia Mengning shook her head slightly, "Oh? Didn't the fourth sister see it? This rude person is a person who asks others indiscriminately. When he sees the elders bowingly and salutes full of dirty words, the fourth sister doesn't see it?
Xia Mengyou couldn't hear the meaning of her words, and immediately said harshly, "Xia Mengning, don't be proud. Isn't it just that you were in the limelight in front of everyone yesterday? In the final analysis, she is also a concubine."
Xia Mengning approached and said word by word, "Since the fourth sister also knows what happened yesterday, do you want to go to Fangfei Garden to accompany the eldest sister?" He looked at Xia Mengyou in front of him with cold eyes, and the latter trembled slightly.
"You... What's so great about you? It's just clever words in front of your grandmother with your beauty." Xia Mengyou said for it.
Xia Mengning took a few steps out and turned back, which shocked Xia Mengyou, who was talking loudly. "What the fourth sister said, this cleverness is not something that everyone can learn. In the past, you flattered in front of your mother and eldest sister, just like the pug dog who shook its tail and begged for mercy. No one in this house knows. What about it?"
The last few words were very light, but Xia Mengyou next to him heard it clearly.
"I advise my sister not to talk about people's shortcomings. If the fourth sister insists on going her own way, do you know if the seventh aunt will have secrets?"
After saying that, he ignored the expressions of the people behind him and walked back with Zhulian.
Xia Mengyou's face turned pale behind her. She was flattering the Fang family and the eldest sister, but so what? She didn't please the Fang family. Her marriage was still in her hands. The eldest sister had always been arrogant and domineering. If she was not happy with her, she would also please the Fang family for nothing. Obviously, they are all concubines, but Xia Mengning always looks tall. She just doesn't like her high appearance. When she sees her once, she will ridicul her fiercely. In the past, Xia Mengning never talked back. Today, she is so powerful. Xia Mengyou can't help but feel cold when she remembered what the maid told her about her in Rongfu Hall. Is this Xia Mengning really enlightened?
Xia Mengran, who was beside him, came forward and said, "Fourth sister, let's go back. The eldest sister has always been banned by her father. Let's not join in the fun."
Xia Mengyou threw her away fiercely, "If you want to go, go back first."
Speaking of this, suddenly my head came to my mind. Yes, the eldest sister is very competitive. Naturally, I will not give up after being posed by Xia Mengning. If I want this Xia Mengning to be unlucky, I can take care of her with my elder sister's hand effortlessly. With that, she hurriedly walked in the direction of Fangfei Garden. Xia Mengran looked at her back and said to Xiaolu, the girl beside her, worriedly, "Why did the fourth sister go in such a hurry?"
Xiao Lv smiled and said, "Miss Fifty, don't worry. Miss Fifty's nature is like this. Today, she was told by Miss Three, and she is naturally in a bad mood. It's windy outside. I'll help Miss Fifty back to her room." In this way, it was all about Xia Mengning.
Xia Mengran's eyes seemed to have a faint smile, and soon hid it and helped Xiao Lv slowly walk back.
Xia Mengyou hurried to Fangfei Garden. There was no woman outside. Xia Mengyou was puzzled. When she went in, she happened to see Xia Mengxi leaning sideways on the couch to rest on the couch. The blue of the fan beside her saw her coming in. She immediately stood up and saluted, "Miss Si is here."
Xia Mengxi was awakened by the sound and opened his eyes to see Xia Mengyou standing in front of him. There was no good face at the moment. "When I was forbidden, the fourth sister rushed to see my joke?"
Xia Mengyou was indignant, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She just wiped her tears with a veil and said, "Why did the eldest sister say that You'er? You'er knew that her sister was banned by Xia Mengning's bitch, so she came to give her advice."
Hearing this, Xia Mengxi was excited. After coming back, he thought for a long time and had no good idea. Hearing that Xia Mengyou had a good idea, he immediately sat up and smiled and said, "Biyi, why don't you pour tea for the fourth lady."
Xia Mengyou sneered in her heart, but she still sat gently beside Xia Mengxi and whispered, "Sister, listen..."
After saying that, Xia Mengyou asked with a smile, "What do you think, sister?
Xia Mengxi's eyes turned around and asked uncertainly, "Although the method is good, where can I find the right person?"
Xia Mengyou patted her hand, "Why should I worry? As long as there is silver, I'm afraid that no one will work for us?"
Xia Mengxi is still hesitant. Xia Mengyou here looked at it and immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "Sister, don't hesitate. It will be my grandmother's birthday in a few days. If you miss the opportunity, I don't know when the next opportunity will be."
Xia Mengxi remembered Xia Mengning's contemptuous eyes and herself that day because she was banned by her father, and finally said, "Okay, you arrange it,"
He took out a heavy purse from the box at the head of the bed and handed it to her. "You take this. Tell me again if you don't have enough money."
Xia Mengyou was very happy. She took over the silver and said, "Big sister, please be patient for two days. In a few days, my sister will definitely lose face in front of that bitch and take care of her grandmother."
After saying that, he wrapped the lotus into the sleeve cage and went out. When he went out, he bumped into Biyi coming in. Biyi put down the tea plate with a little doubt: "Oh, why did the fourth lady leave?"
Xia Mengxi leaned on the couch in a good mood and asked, "Biyi, I remember that the girl Jiu'er in the bamboo garden is your hometown?"
Biyi nodded, "Jiu'er came from the same place as my maidservant. That year, my hometown was flooded, and my maidservant and Jiuer came to the capital together."
Xia Mengxi smiled and waved to Biyi. Biyi came over and said, "Miss..."
"Biyi, I'm now banned in Fangfei Garden by my father. I can't do anything. Now I have to trouble you to run an errand for me,"
With that, he took off a red gold glazed hairpin from his head and handed it to her, "Go to the bamboo garden to tell that Jiu'er, and tell her..."
After listening, Biyi nodded and said, "I'm going now." Xia Mengxi said, "Don't let others see it. Be careful."
Biyi lowered her head and retreated. Xia Mengxi went to the dresser and gently combed her hair. The skin in the mirror was better than snow, and a pair of beautiful eyes flowed. Xia Mengxi smiled with satisfaction, "Xia Mengning, let you be proud for a few days for the time being!"
In the bamboo garden, Xia Mengning just came back. After sitting for a while, she said to Zhulian, "It's my grandmother's birthday in a few days. What gift should I prepare?"
Zhulian lowered her head and embroidered her purse. Hearing Xia Mengning's words, she raised her head and said, "How can I think of it? The young lady is smart and must know it."
Xia Mengning nodded, "Yes, I'm afraid ordinary objects can't get into my grandmother's eyes. Zhulian, I will go to Jingming Temple tomorrow to return my wish and ask Master Yunhui to copy the Buddhist scriptures by the way. My grandmother will definitely like it."
Pearl Lotus is still a child's heart. When she heard that she could go out, she was immediately a little happy. A pair of round eyes burst out a flashing light. "Does the young lady really want to go to Jingming Temple? I heard that the sign request is very smart, and the maidservant also wants to ask for a signature for my brother."
Xia Mengning nodded, thinking that Master Yunhui of Jingming Temple is a master respected by the saints today. It is difficult for ordinary dignitaries to meet, but his grandmother once donated a large amount of sesame oil money for Jingming Temple. What's more, it was this Yunhui Master who concluded that he was unique in his previous life. The fate of the second gold must be seen tomorrow.
Zhulian said, "Miss, Dr. Wu's daughter tomorrow..."
Xia Mengning shook her head and said, "Nothing, Wu Qing is a free and unruly person. How can she listen to Dr. Wu's words obediently? Even if we wait for her in the house tomorrow, we can't wait."
Zhulian wondered, "What should I do?"
Xia Mengning smiled and didn't say anything. Wu Qing is a frank person. It's not so easy to subdue her. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning said to Zhulian beside her, "You have gone to the college to ask. What did the boss say?"
Zhulian hurriedly said, "The boss didn't believe in the maidservant first. The maidservant showed him the half of the handwritten book according to the young lady's words. He immediately said that he was willing to collect it at a high price."
Xia Mengning nodded, stood up and picked up a yellowed piano score from the bookshelf. The fourth aunt's dowry was not rich, but this box of piano scores is rare in the world. At least one is worth ten thousand taels. At present, the people around him are the key, but according to the monthly silver issued by the house, I'm afraid it is far from Enough.
For today's plan, I can only sell a few books first. Anyway, I have mastered the essence of this piano score, and it is useless to hold it in my hand.
Zhulian said, "Why don't you take the book to the boss?"
Xia Mengning shook her head, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go alone. The boss will definitely have bad thoughts when you see you alone. Well, let's see," Xia Mengning took out a gold-gold butterfly winged hairpin and a pair of red jade bracelets from her jewelry box. "You take these two things to the pawnshop. Anyway, it's worth five or six hundred taels of silver. Son, you take a hundred taels on your body, and let the boss exchange the rest for a silver ticket from HSBC.
Zhulian took the thing and said, "Miss, you don't have much jewelry."
"It's all right!" Xia Mengning shook her head, "Zhulian, now you can only abandon your money and save your life. There will be more such things in the future. Go ahead. Remember to be careful and don't be targeted by others."
These things were sent by the fourth aunt before, but now they can only be sold first.
Pearl Lotus carefully wrapped the things in a handkerchief and went out.
Xia Mengning sat in front of the dresser and silently cut her hair, and then removed her makeup. She only had a plain mahogany hairpin in the oblique hairpin between her hair.
At this moment, Xia Mengning, who inadvertently looked up, happened to see a vague figure outside the yard, with turquoise clothes. When she looked carefully, it turned out to be the close girl beside Xia Mengxi.
What is she doing here? Xia Meng was puzzled, but she still sat quietly. The moon-yellow gauze tent hung down. She couldn't see the scenery in the window from the outside, but she could carefully see every move in the yard outside.
It was in the afternoon that I only had Zhulian and Fu's mother, and there were also two rough maids in the yard. This Biyi secretly came to her yard to do something.
Biyi deliberately came to the bamboo branch garden when there were few people. Sure enough, she happened to see Jiu'er sitting under the shade of the tree resting. When Biyi saw it, she immediately whispered, "Jiu'er, Jiu'er..."
Jiu'er was squinting and resting. As soon as she heard it, she opened her eyes and saw Biyi doubting about her head outside the yard, "Sister Biyi?"
Biyi waved to her. Jiu'er put down her broom and went out. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Why is Sister Biyi here? Are you looking for Miss San?"
