Chapter 31 Killing with a Knife 2
The two walked all the way to the garden. Liu Shihan said, "The garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really good. It's really beautiful."
Xia Mengning looked up slightly. The carefully tidy flowers and plants around her were cleaned clean on the gravel road. Not far away, a group of figures were coming this way. Xia Mengning saw the people clearly and said to Liu Shihan beside him, "Let's go somewhere else."
The two were about to leave together, but the people here did not plan to stop. Xia Mengxi and Dong Wanwan walked in front of them, followed by several women. They looked like girls, but Xia Mengning only recognized Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran.
The last incident made Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran more or less afraid of themselves. After seeing Xia Mengning, the two of them looked embarrassed. A trace of viciousness flashed in Xia Mengxi's eyes, but it was well covered up. They looked at Xia Mengning and asked, "Where is the third sister going?"
Xia Mengningfu: "I've met the eldest sister. Ning'er is going to visit Miss Liu, the daughter of the monk's book."
Dong Wanwan smiled softly, "Sure enough, he is a person who feels the same disease. He is familiar with it so soon. What comes out of the concubine is the concubine, and it's not bad to hold a group."
Liu Shihan was about to fight back, but was grabbed by Xia Mengning beside him. Dong Wanwan, she had never offended her. Why did she have to fight with her everywhere? I'm afraid that the Fang family played a lot of roles. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Miss Dong is beautiful and beautiful. She has seen Dong Xiao. My sister will definitely remember it. This word is appropriate, and it is a good habit of etiquette. It is inevitable that she will have more friends with her peers because of this. My eldest sister is the same. No wonder she can get close to Miss Dong.
After saying this, it was a satire on Dong Wanwan's dirty words. She didn't want to get close to her, and later, she happened to say Xia Mengxi, and even such people were willing to make friends.
"You..." Dong Wanwan was angry, "The teeth are sharp and the mouth is sharp, and it's just a temporary climate. A concubine is a concubine, and you can't be a humble body on the table."
Xia Mengning stepped forward and stared at the person in front of her. She had never offended anyone, but everyone in the world was like this. She sacrificed others for no reason because of her own interests. In the last life, such a good man had done enough. In this life, no one would be allowed to insult her.
"It's also my ability to show up the climate for a while. If Miss Dong is not used to it, please feel free. If she still wants to talk wildly in this public, I don't know if she is stunned. Unexpectedly, she went to other people's house to talk about it. If she loses her identity, she won't say anything. I'm afraid it will make people laugh at the servant's goddaughter. Fang.
Dong Wanwan was furiated by Xia Mengning's momentum and couldn't help taking a step back. Obviously, she was just a girl one year younger than herself. Why did she have such momentum?
After Xia Mengning finished speaking, she smiled at Xia Mengxi beside her and said, "Since the eldest sister is with Miss Dong, she should greet Miss Dong well, so that Miss Dong will not be straightforward and talk without thinking. It's not good to bump into the nobles on such a happy day."
After saying that, he walked to Liu Shihan and said, "It's so sunny here. Let's go to the front yard to have a rest."
I went to the front yard with Liu Shihan. There was a birthday play on the stage. Xia Mengning sat on the stool, and Liu Shihan took a sip of tea ceremony. "I just like your personality, unlike those women, submissive, or just talk like Dong Wanwan. People."
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "Let you see the joke."
As the two were talking, a group of people from Xia Mengxi also came over. Everyone sent a birthday gift to Xie. What Xia Mengxi sent was a white jade Guanyin, and there was no flaw on his body. Xie smiled and accepted it. When it was Xia Mengning's turn, Xia Mengning took the Buddhist scriptures that she asked Master Yunhui in Jingming Temple a few days ago, which was not brilliant. But I didn't lose my respect.
Xie's face was pale, but Xia Mengning did not feel embarrassed. She just retreated respectfully and made a full share of humility.
After receiving the gift, Xie greeted everyone to sit down with a smile. Xia Mengning sat aside. Xia Mengxi and herself sat on a table opposite him. Xia Mengning pretended not to care and drank tea gently with a teacup and whispered to Liu Shihan beside her from time to time.
Xia Mengxi kept the most decent face and smile of the lady on her face, but after seeing Xia Mengning's light appearance, she couldn't help clenched the veil under the table.
Xia Mengning, let you be proud for a while, when you cry!
Everyone was raising their glasses, and there was a voice from outside, "The prince is here, Prince Mo is here!"
For a moment, Xie and Xia Chuanyuan, who were very happy, were very happy. Xie, who was helped by Chen's mother, hurriedly stood up and came down tremblingly to kneel down. Everyone followed and saluted. The prince wore a bright yellow robe and a jade crown with hair, but it may be desolate, and a pair of eyes were swollen and light. It is also empty-footed, which makes people feel evil.
This may be just Xia Mengning's idea. Many people around her can't wait to look at Changsun Ye.
Looking at the Prince Mo next to him, a handsome face like a sculpture suddenly attracted the attention of the whole audience. Although he was not a prince, he was not as noble as the prince next to him, but he was also rich and handsome. He was a rare beautiful man.
"Get up!" The prince's eldest grandson Ye said, "Today, I'm here to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of the Xia family. Don't be too formal."
After saying that, he was invited to the top position, and Xie's old face smiled **, "It's rare for the prince and Prince Mo to have a good look, which makes this house shine."
Changsun Ye waved his hand faintly and said, "Carry up my birthday gift."
Immediately, someone sent a piece of jade Ruyi, inlaid with dozens of huge pearls, which made the people present shake their eyes for a while.
Xie hurriedly knelt down Xie En, and someone next to him presented a coral bonsai made of red jade. Changsun Mo said, "This coral bonsai is sent to the old lady to enjoy in the room."
Xie knelt down again, but Xia Chuanyuan's face was pale and his heart was beating. Although he had invited many people for the old lady's birthday, the prince and Prince Mo had never come before. Why did he come at this jux point? Is it related to what was said a few days ago?
Xia Chuanyuan's face became nervous. At this time, the eldest grandson Ye next to him said, "Is the third lady in the house available?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Mengning. Xia Mengning was also a little confused, but she still stood up and walked to the front. "Little girl Xia Mengning has seen the prince and the Prince of Mo."
The prince looked at her with interest and said, "Look up!"
Xia Mengning raised her head, and Changsun Ye's eyes couldn't help but look disappointed. The fifth brother said that she was a beauty and a calculating beauty. But when she saw Xia Mengning's true face, she was not disappointed. Such a beautiful appearance was at most, and she looked young. It was really wrong. Thinking of this, I asked, "How old are you this year?"
Xie's face is not good-looking, Xia Chuanyuan is not good-looking, Fang's face is hateful, and all the women's faces at the banquet are not good-looking, which is not good-looking, but there is also a reason.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Xie's heart. How could this Ninger be looked at by the prince again? Why did these dignitaries have a fancy to her?
Xia Chuanyuan, you are not natural in your heart. Why is your daughter liked by so many people at the same time?
The thoughts of the Fang family and the women's family are naturally because of how noble the prince is. If they are treated differently by the prince, it is just around the corner to marry into the prince's house. The prince has not married yet, even the side room has never been married. The house only has a group of beautiful concubines. If they marry, the owner of the prince's mansion is himself. In the future, when the prince ascends to the throne, he will be the mother of the country and the mother of the world.
Now the prince valuates a concubine's daughter so much that he can't help but make a group of eldest ladies look red.
" Prime Minister Xia teaches her daughter well, and all the daughters in the house are excellent."
Changsun Ye said faintly, and his face was as usual, "Go away." Xia Mengning was quietly relieved. She didn't want to get into trouble with the prince. When Fu retreated, Xia Mengning's mind flashed. She looked up at the eldest grandson Mo sitting in the banquet without a trace, but the latter had a solemn face. Xia Mengning had a figure in her heart and only felt particularly worried.
Returning to the table and sitting down, Liu Shihan pulled her sleeves under the table and smiled at her. Xia Mengning gave the other party the same smile and patted the back of her hand.
Xia Mengxi took a few famous daughter to the garden at the behest of Fang. When she arrived at Xia Mengning's side, she did not forget to remind her, "Come with the third sister."
Xia Mengning looked up at Xia Mengxi. The gloom in the other party's eyes could not escape her eyes. After thinking about it, she still stood up. "I feel tired after sitting for a while. It's also good to enjoy flowers in the garden."
Xia Mengxi smiled and walked in front of him first. Xia Mengning also stood up. Wu Qing followed behind him and walked towards the garden together.
During the banquet.
A woman in gem green brocade drank tea and said with a smile, "I haven't heard that the third lady of the prime minister's mansion is so famous that even the prince knows about her. Today, she came to ask in person."
A woman next to her, who was also dressed in jewels, covered her mouth with a Juanpa and said to the other, "Isn't it? But the Prime Minister's wife, in a famous family like ours, there has never been a concubine's name than a direct daughter."
Fang Shi smiled awkwardly and picked up the teacup to cover his face, but he almost spewed out fire in anger.
At this moment, a young maid ran to Fang in a hurry, shouting, "It's not good..."
Mother Liu behind Fang's mother stepped forward and shouted harshly, "I don't know what's wrong. What's the matter? I'm in a panic. I'm going to be careful with your head."
After such words, it attracted the attention of the whole audience. Xia Chuanyuan frowned and looked this way. Xie on one side also asked dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter? What's the quarrel?"
