Chapter 177 New Year's Eve Dinner 5

Xia Chuanyuan's voice suddenly increased, which shocked Xia Mengran, who was crying. Xia Mengran raised his head and saw that Xia Chuanyuan's eyes were staring at him firmly, as if he was about to spit out fire.

When Xia Mengran saw this scene, he was even more angry. Today's scene was completely made by Xia Mengning. Thinking about this, Xia Mengran turned his head and looked at Xia Mengning's direction. "Xia Mengning, this is as you wish, right? You are happy to see me being scolded by my father, right? You are now your legitimate daughter. , so I also want to play a show of prestige in front of me, so you have to see if you deserve it or not?!"

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Xia Mengning's drooping face, and finally forced Xia Mengran's true temperament out.

Thinking like this, Xia Mengning suddenly stood up and stepped forward. She stood beside Xia Mengran and said, "Five sister, how can you say such a thing? I have never been a concubine to you. It's really a waste of Dad's painstaking efforts when you say so."

With that, Xia Mengning took out the account book and turned to one of the pages and said, "Fifth sister, please see, the bird's nest in your room has always been the most used in the whole house. Even in Dad's room, there is no reason for so many bird's nests."

Xia Chuanyuan took a look and saw that the numbers on it were more than all. Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Raan Er, do you need to use so many bird's nests?"

Xia Mengran didn't expect to be mentioned in these things. He was about to explain, but he heard Xia Mengning slowly say, "Five sisters, my father has always loved our sisters, and everything is divided equally. The fifth sister said that her sister relied on her insistence on family affairs to enrich her own pockets, but the fifth sister uses white swallows on her face every day. May I ask, which one in the capital? Can a concubine deserve this kind of treatment?

Xia Mengran was stunned. She didn't expect that she would be pulled out of her own things. She wanted to explain, but it was too late. She only heard Xia Chuanyuan say harshly, "Little Liuzi, go to Miss Wu's room and see what's going on?"

Xia Mengning stood aside, as if she was too excited and still gasped slightly. Xia Chuanyuan said softly, "Ning'er, you go and sit aside first."

Xia Meng Ning's body, "Thank you, Dad."

Jiu'er helped Xia Mengning and sat down. After a while, Xiao Liuzi came in with a copper basin and said, "Sir, I saw this in Miss Wu's room. It was Bai Yan."

Xia Chuanyuan took a look and immediately became angry, "Okay, although my prime minister's mansion is rich in materials, it is not for you to squander. Come on, take the fifth lady to the ancestral hall to kneel. When did you reflect on it and come out? Don't always think that you are a high-ranking young lady."

Two tall and fat women walked forward. Xia Mengran, who was crying on the left and right, walked out. Xia Mengran was very scared and knew that if he entered the ancestral hall, he would lose his father's favor. In a hurry, he had to ask Xie for help.

"Grandma, grandma save Ran'er, Ran'er doesn't want to go to the ancestral hall..."

Xie looked at it, turned his head and said, "Yuan'er, today..."

"Mother, there is no need to say more. This is the inner atmosphere. This extravagant atmosphere will not be eliminated. How can we treat other people in the house in the future? What's more, my mother just saw that Ning'er is the person in charge of my assignment. However, she has no respect for her and insults her. Isn't she not the head of the family? Do you pay attention to it?"

After the last sentence, Xie was a little embarrassed and knew that he was also forcing Xia Mengning just now. At this time, Xia Chuanyuan took this opportunity to talk about himself. In this case, I'm afraid he couldn't save Ran'er.

Xia Mengning stood up at this time and walked to Xia Chuanyuan and said, "Dad, today is New Year's Eve. Why don't you treat the crime of the fifth sister again? If the fifth aunt knows, she will be sad."

It's okay not to mention the fifth aunt. As soon as he mentioned the fifth aunt, Xia Chuanyuan frowned. Obviously, he thought that the fifth aunt's two children were not good. Xia Chuanyuan looked at Xia Mengning and said, "You don't have to say more. You must teach her a lesson today, otherwise you will get married in the future, and you will lose the face of our Prime Minister's mansion. . "

Xia Mengran was pulled by two tall women and had no power to return his hand. She cried and looked at Xia Chuanyuan, but heard such cruel words.

Xia Mengning lowered her head and nodded on her lips with a handkerchief. Her phoenix eyes raised slightly and looked at Xia Mengran with a smile.

After dealing with this matter, Xia Chuanyuan was also a little tired. He looked at Xia Mengning and said, "Ning'er, is the New Year's Eve dinner ready?"

Xia Mengning nodded, "If you go back to Dad, the New Year's Eve dinner is ready. Dad, please don't worry."

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, stood up and said, "That's good. I have prepared a carriage and a courtyard for you. You can go to the palace after the New Year's Eve dinner."

Xia Mengning nodded and heard Xia Chuanyuan say, "I still have some things to deal with. Let's go first."

Seeing that Xia Chuanyuan was about to leave, Xie hurriedly wink at Chen's mother. Chen's mother nodded gently and went out. Xie said, "Today is New Year's Eve. What other official business are you dealing with? Come and talk to me, an old woman."

Xie rarely said such words to Xia Chuanyuan. Although Xia Chuanyuan was surprised, he was also a little flattered. He turned around and came back and sat down.

Xie spoke to Xia Chuanyuan absent-mindedly and asked without saying a word. Xia Mengning tasted the tea and saw what was strange in it. However, Xia Chuanyuan only cared that it was Xie's rare smile on him, so he was confused.

In a short time, a strong fragrant wind floated in, the door curtain was lifted, and a woman in a light red embroidered plum blossom skirt and a big red skirt came in.

Xia Mengning hated this strong fragrance of fat powder. As soon as she frowned, Jiu'er behind her handed a handkerchief.

The woman walked into the room with a wooden tray, with a sparrow branch hairpin on her head, and the tassels drooped on her ear. She looked like a young girl.

The woman walked to Xia Chuanyuan, put the teacup in her hand in front of Xie and Xia Chuanyuan in turn, and said in a delicate voice, "Master, please use tea."

Xia Mengning looked at the woman's back, and then at Xie Shi. A smile overflowed her lips. So it was like this!

Xia Chuanyuan didn't feel different. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Xie asked, "How's it? Is this tea okay?"

Xia Chuanyuan nodded and praised, "The fragrance enters the lungs, refreshing, good tea!"

Xie nodded with a smile, looked at the woman standing below, and said with a smile, "This is Cai Wei, the granddaughter of Chen's mother. She is fourteen years old this year. I heard that tea is very good, so she came to serve me. Now you also praise it. It can be seen that Caiwei is really a good tea."

Listening to Xie's words, Xia Chuanyuan just symbolically looked up at the woman in front of him. He saw the woman's pink face and beautiful nose, and a cherry mouth. She was really a beautiful woman.

Xia Chuanyuan is also a man. Men like beauty. Now when he first sees this young strange beauty, he is suddenly attracted to her. He puts down the teacup and whispers, "Your name is Cai Wei?"

The woman who called Cai Wei immediately lowered her head shyly, and the voice of the thin mosquito and flies answered, "Yes, the maidservant Cai Wei."

Seeing that the beautiful woman bowed her head in shame, Xia Chuanyuan seemed to be more energetic, and then asked, "Have you read a book?"

Cai Wei nodded, "I know a few words."

Such a modest answer made Xia Chuanyuan narrow his eyes. Xie looked at it and smiled, "As the saying goes, a woman who has no talent is virtue. It's good for me to look at Cai Wei. Chen's mother has been with me for so many years, and I have to find a good marriage for Cai Wei."

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Chuanyuan with deep meaning.

Strangely, Xia Chuanyuan lowered his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and did not answer Xia Chuanyuan's words.

For a moment, Xie Shi and Cai Wei were a little embarrassed. Xia Mengning looked at the expressions of everyone on the stage with relish.

After drinking tea, Xia Chuanyuan stood up and said, "Mother, let's talk about this another day. The child is still busy with official business in the previous morning, so I won't accompany you."

After saying that, he didn't even give Xie a chance to speak, and soon turned around and left.

Xia Chuanyuan left, and Xia Mengning also saluted and left. Cai Wei stood in place, as if she was surprised that Xia Chuanyuan would ignore his beauty and specialness and look unwilling.

Xie looked at it and said, "You go down first."

Cai Wei looked at Chen's mother and finally walked down unwillingly.

Xie looked at the teacup on the table and said to Chen's mother, "Don't be discouraged. I'll help you."

Chen's mother didn't dare to say anything, so she had to nod.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er came out of Rongfutang. First, they went back to Zhuzhiyuan to change their clothes. Now that they have punished Xia Mengran, they naturally don't have to wear such clothes. As soon as they changed their clothes and sat in front of the mirror to comb their hair, they saw Wu Qing coming in.

Jiu'er met Wu Qing and asked, "Why did you come back again? Didn't Miss let you go home for the Spring Festival?"

Wu Qing sat on the couch. He was familiar with the dishes and said while eating snacks, "It's not interesting at home. It's just listening to my father's muttering. My brother is really enough of it. It's better to be more lively with you."

Jiu'er smiled and tied her bun for Xia Mengning. Xia Mengning took the hairpin and inserted it back into the hair. She picked a pair of pearl earrings and put them on. She turned around and looked at Wu Qing and said, "Wei's place, have you arranged it?"

Wu Qing smiled. Before he swallowed his mouth full of snacks, he rushed and said, "It's a small matter. I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Xia Mengning smiled and handed over a red envelope from the dressing table, "Happy New Year."

Wu Qing took it and didn't open it, but blinked his eyes and looked inside from the gap in the corner. He smiled, "It's a silver ticket. It's really generous."

With that, Wu Qing suddenly looked serious and said, "Ning'er, I just came back from the hospital, and I learned something on the way."
