Chapter 60 There is no danger 1

Xia Mengning ordered Jiu'er to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup again and walked to Meifang Garden together. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Ge Shi and Xia Chuanyuan sitting by the window talking. Xia Mengning sighed and told Jiu'er to take it up and walk in with herself.

"I have met my parents and aunt."

When Xia Chuanyuan saw Xia Mengning coming, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Come here. This is the new tea this year. How about you try it? If you feel good, ask the servants to send you some."

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that my daughter just made some lotus seed soup. Dad has been so upset recently. This lotus seed soup is the best to dispel fire, so I'm bringing it."

Jiu'er hurriedly took the lotus seed soup. Xia Chuanyuan looked at it and felt comfortable. Her daughter was so filial, which was the great happiness of being a parent.

"You just came from the kitchen. Have you seen Xiao Liuzi?" Xia Chuanyuan scooped a spoonful of lotus seed soup, ate it slowly, and then raised his head to ask Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning paused slightly in her heart and asked Xiao Liuzi. Naturally, the implication was to ask Xia Mengxi about it. Thinking of this, Xia Mengning went to Ge's side and sat down. She affectionately took Ge's arm and said, "Just came through the garden, I saw Xiao Liuzi taking his eldest sister to the west gate. After saying a few words, she came back. . "

Xia Chuanyuan ate lotus seed soup, his eyebrows wrinkled, and then calmed down. "Your eldest sister also knew her mistake. Just now in Yong'an Hall, her attitude has changed a lot, but it's a pity..."

Xia Mengning paused in her heart. Sure enough, after this incident, Xia Mengxi's head was enlightened a lot, and the smile on her face did not change. Xia Mengning continued, "Dad loves the eldest sister. The eldest sister must also know that it will not be too long. Dad should not be sad."

With that, the toes hanging on the ground gently drew a circle in the air.

"If she can understand my feelings, it's naturally good..." Xia Chuanyuan sighed, and Ge Shi said quickly, "The young lady is a kind person, and she will definitely understand the master's hardships."

At this moment, Jiu'er beside him whispered, "Miss, in the garden just now, the blue beside the young lady is still..."

"Hit!" Xia Mengning scolded softly and turned her head to stare at Jiu'er.

"What's the matter?" Xia Chuanyuan raised his head and his eyes turned on Jiu'er and Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning turned her head with a far-fetched smile on her face, "It's okay, the girl's mouth is broken..."

Jiu'er said unconvincedly, "It's obviously..."

"Get out!" Xia Mengning shouted harshly, and Jiu'er hurriedly knelt down. Xia Chuanyuan saw the clue and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiu'er looked up at Xia Chuanyuan, looked at Xia Mengning, and finally said, "Originally, the maidservant and the third lady came together to send the master lotus seed soup. On the road, they met the eldest lady and Biyi beside her. Biyi deliberately knocked down the maidservant and broke the lotus seed soup. The third lady asked the maidservant not to care about it and took the maidservant. I made another bowl in the kitchen, and then I came here.

After hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan held his big hand to the center of his eyebrows and sighed, "I thought Xi'er would change after experiencing this matter, but I didn't expect it to have such a temper. It's really disappointing."

Xia Mengning looked at Xia Chuanyuan's expression and immediately became uneasy, "Dad, big sister..."

Xia Chuanyuan waved his hand, "Okay, you don't have to say good things for her. Go back first. I'll be alone."

Xia Mengning came to bed, saluted, and then took Jiu'er out of the room.

Back to Zhuzhiyuan, Zhulian was putting soup on the table. Xia Mengning sat down. Zhulian asked, "Miss, do you want some soup?" Today, I made assorted yellow flower soup in the kitchen. Drinking it in summer is the best way to relieve summer heat and quench thirst.

Xia Mengning nodded and said to Jiu'er beside him, "You did a great job just now."

Jiu'er hurriedly lowered her head, "I don't dare. I just looked at the young lady's movements..."

Xia Mengning smiled and said, "You are still so reserved. It's okay. If there is no one else, let go. Don't look like I can eat you."

Zhulian looked aside and walked over and pulled Jiu'er's arm. "You must have made a contribution just now. Why don't you ask for a reward? After this time, there is no reason."

Jiu'er was at a loss. Xia Meng looked at Zhulian angrily and said, "Okay, you little hoof. I'm used to spoiling you, and now even Jiu'er will be ruined by you."

Zhulian smiled and was not afraid of Xia Mengning's anger. After laughing, Xia Mengning turned her head and said to Jiuer, "Zhulian is right. You have been with me for so long. I don't know who is in your family?"

Jiu'er was a little cramped and blushed. She didn't seem to be used to this kind of joke between master and servant. "I also have an old mother and brother, and now live in the big yard in the east of the city."

Xia Mengning remembered the death of Jiu'er's father, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face, but she smiled and said, "You are also the close girl next to me now. It's not rare to get some rewards. You have done a good job today, very cleverly, Zhulian," she said, and called Zhulian, "Go to my room and get ten. Give the two-patterned silver to Jiu'er.

Zhulian walked into the room, but Jiu'er hurriedly knelt down. Ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to her current one-year moon silver, or according to the moon silver that she has been raised to be a first-class maid. If she was just a little maid before, there were only 200 copper coins a month. For the number of ten taels of silver, more It's far away.

Zhulian took out a rosary of silver and wrapped it in a red Juanpa and handed it to Jiu'er. Jiu'er quickly pushed and refused, "I can't take it, I can't take it..."

Xia Mengning smiled and took the silk cloth and stuffed Jiu'er's hand into her hand. "Your mother is old, and life must be in need. Take this money and let her not be so tired. Then find a good private school for your brother and let him study. In the future, it will be good to get a reputation."

Jiu'er looked at the silver in her hand, and a heavy feeling came from the palm of her hand. What Xia Mengning said really reached her heart. Holding the silver, Jiu'er shed tears.

Zhulian came over and helped Jiu'er. Xia Mengning looked at her and said, "Zhulian, there is nothing to do in the afternoon. Go home with Jiu'er and exchange the silver into broken silver, so that you can carry it."

Zhulian answered and happily took Jiu'er's arm and said, "Jiu'er sister, I'm dragging your blessing. Let's go out of the house and buy some rare things."

Jiu'er burst into tears and smiled. She just looked at Xia Mengning with an grateful face. The latter was drinking soup and noticed the eyes of the two people. "Don't forget to do business. You must come back before dark."

"I know!" Zhulian responded crisply. Xia Mengning smiled. After using the soup, she entered the room. Zhulian and Jiu'er hurriedly cleaned up and walked out happily.

Zhulian helped Jiu'er pack up her things and said with a smile, "You are really filial. Isn't this all some snacks that the lady rewards you? If you don't eat, you want to keep your feelings and take them home."

Jiu'er was embarrassed to smile and packed her bag. "After my father passed away, my mother worked even harder. Although I work as a maid in the house, the monthly silver is always deducted every month, and there are only a few left to take home. Therefore, I want to save a little rations to relieve my brother's craving."

Zhulian listened to Jiu'er's words and couldn't help blurring her eyes. "My parents have passed away. Only my sister and I were left that year. Every day, I beat pigs and do rough work in the town. I just want to change a full meal for my sister. But in the end, my sister died and was starved to death. Up to now, I can still think of my sister. Before my sister died, she grabbed my hand and shouted, sister, I'm hungry, sister, I'm hungry..."

Jiu'er walked over and held Zhulian's hand and whispered, "Sister Zhulian, don't be sad. My mother said that after the death of a good person, he was picked up by the Buddha to live a good life in heaven. Some food, some clothes, and reincarnation. Your sister must have lived a good life, and she no longer have to worry about starvation."

Zhulian raised her face. The first time she heard someone say this, she felt much more comfortable and asked, "Jiu'er, are you just ten years old this year?"

Jiu'er nodded, "I didn't be full until October. My mother said I was born in October."

Zhulian couldn't help holding Jiu'er's hand. "Okay, Jiu'er, would you like to be my sister? I'm as old as a young lady. You are three years old. You think I'm my sister. I don't have a relative. You will be my own sister in the future."

Jiu'er was stunned at first, and then nodded as if reacting, "Sister..."

Zhulian was also very happy. She hugged Jiu'er and shouted, "Jiu'er, my good sister..."
