Xu Mingwei ordered someone to call for Nanny Xu, and at the time of the ceremony, Master Fang avoided half of his body and replied, "Right now, I am also a slave, and am not much more noble than you. I have been nourished by you for the past few days, I can't even thank you enough, how can I accept your respect."
These words caused Nanny Xu's eyes to turn red. They relied on their skills to eat, they respected scholars the most. In the past, she knew that Xu Mingwei valued the Master Fang, so she decided to do it herself and didn't let the girls do it. Now that she thanked him, he was even more pleased than if he had received silver.
Ever since that day, Master Fang often came to Xu Mingwei's courtyard. If Fu Heng was here, the two would definitely defend the chess board and fight for half a day. If Fu Heng went out, he would play the zither with Xu Mingwei and his days would be leisurely. As for what the Fu Family servants were discussing, they put it to heart. But as time passed, it gradually reached Lady Wang's ears, and she was momentarily unsure of what Master Fang was thinking.
It was no wonder that Lady Wang would want to change her mind. In the Tianqi, even father and daughter siblings could not be too close to each other, and had to guard the male and female side. But someone like the Master Fang, although he carried the title of Xu Mingwei's respected teacher, and was not his real relatives, even his real relatives would not be able to get along with him in such a short period of time.
Master Fang was also around thirty years old at the moment, and was in his prime. If he stayed in the same room as his disciple husband without avoiding suspicion, he would naturally be criticized by others behind his back. Lady Wang had never personally seen them get along, but when she heard the news that came back from Nanny Xue, she wondered if it was because Yue Yang had caught her's eye.
After all, it was not good to interfere too much in the matters of his son's room. Lady Wang pondered, afraid that if the matter got out of hand, it would be difficult to settle. When Fu Heng and Xu Mingwei came to pay their respects, Fu Heng was the only one left to speak.
"Have you heard about the movements in the manor recently?"
Fu Heng said, "The Inner Palace is under mother's control, so what can happen to them? Your son was always completely at ease, so he didn't pay attention to it. "
Lady Wang felt a burst of happiness from his coaxing, but she didn't forget her business and said, "Has your daughter-in-law's husband been a bit too diligent recently? If he's alone, there's no guarantee that others will think of him."
Fu Heng felt that he had been humiliated, especially this kind of disgrace that it was an insult to the Master Fang. Fortunately, he managed to suppress his anger and asked sternly, "Mom, who did you hear this nonsense from?" When he arrived, the room was filled with people. His son had learned chess from him and had benefited greatly from it. In the eyes of these ill-intentioned people, it has actually turned into a single man and a single woman, a male thief and a female slave!? "
When née Wang heard this, it was indeed reasonable, so she said, "Mom just heard some wind and gave you a reminder." It doesn't matter who said it now. The key thing is that if you guys go back and forth day in and day out, others will inevitably have their own thoughts. "According to mother's opinion, it would be better to stay far away."
Fu Heng became even angrier. He hated Wang Shi for being pedantic, and also hated these good things. He glared at people, at everyone else who was as dirty as he was. But he also knew that it wasn't good to have a falling out with née Wang at such a critical juncture, so he restrained his temper and said, "Does Mother know father when it comes to this matter? Do you know who Fang Shuyi is? His son sat upright and the Mr. Fang was a noble and pure person, how could he allow this lowly person to slander him like this? If today, my son heard mother's words and turned around to end all contact with the Mr. Fang, wouldn't those villains have to say more, that they really have a guilty conscience?! "
Lady Wang had taught him to speak, but she hesitated. Fu Heng saw her expression and continued, "Mother, why don't you wait for father to come back and ask. Then, Mr. Fang's reputation will be known to all. The living Buddha, whom no one can even beg for, is staying at our house now. However, he actually cursed and cursed at us. If we force him away, it would truly be a regret. "
Née Wang could only say, "Mother only said this. You must keep that side of your wife hidden from me, so as not to leak any information." She and her husband, of course, wore the same trousers and could not shut the door. If Mr. Fang finds out, it would not be good. "
Fu Heng nodded his head and agreed, but he still managed to breath in and out of Wang's courtyard. Seeing him walk towards the study room with a dark face, Xu Mingwei didn't disturb him and continued to tune his strings. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually cooled down. This year, there was a lot of rain, and the guqin was still in good condition. The bungalow was humid, and the sound was not good.
"Is the sound not accurate again?"
It was unknown when Fu Heng had walked to her side, but he was shocked when he suddenly opened his mouth.
Fu Heng found it funny and pushed her to the side, saying, "Let me do it."
Xu Mingwei looked at his face, as though he had already calmed down. She rather admired Fu Heng's character. When there was a bad mood, she would just hide and digest it herself. When the anger was gone, she would silently come out of the small dark room, and would not easily treat others as punching bags.
"What did mom say to you? Why did she come back so pale?" Xu Mingwei casually asked, between husband and wife, they had to develop a tacit understanding to talk about everything, so as to avoid him getting into the habit of saying different things in the future.
Fu Heng looked at her, "I said it already, don't get angry."
Xu Mingwei thought, could it be that something had happened again? Her curiosity piqued, she nodded towards Fu Heng.
"Say it, I won't take it to heart."
Fu Heng then explained in detail to her. But what surprised him was that Xu Mingwei actually laughed and said, "You just kept a straight face at this matter, scaring all the little girls in the room to the point that they don't dare joke anymore?"
Fu Heng asked curiously, "Is the person who sent the message not hateful? "If I find out who is the one behind this, I will definitely not let her off!"
Xu Mingwei shook his head and laughed, "Not only me, if you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Fang tomorrow and see if she's angry or not. Who is the one behind whom no one speaks? Who is the one behind whom no one speaks? If he wanted to say it, she would say it. Let's see if I can lose a piece of meat. "
Fu Heng originally thought that he could be considered a traitor, but he didn't think that there would be two female teachers who were even more elegant than him. He couldn't help but laugh, and said, "I'm the one who insisted."
Xu Mingwei joked, "It is good that Benefactor is able to turn back in time."
One sentence made Fu Heng laugh, and said, "Wan Rou said that you were narrow-minded, and she is indeed correct. I went to become a monk, what are you? "Since ancient times, no one has ever heard of a monk taking a wife."
Xu Mingwei thought, that was because she had never seen < Domineering Monk loves me > before, and had not seen the monk father of Yi Lin, the little nun. On the surface, he only faintly smiled and did not continue this topic. Her finger tapped the zither and her meaning was clear, "Less idle chatter, just tune the zither music first."
As for the Wang Family, Night time had indeed asked Fu Hongbo who Fang Shuyi was. Fu Hongbo was originally exhausted, but after hearing the name, he got up from the bed and asked, "Why did you mention her for no reason?"
Née Wang smiled, "Isn't this Mingwei's mister? She's temporarily staying in their backyard. She's been coming and going a bit these days, so when people gossiped, I had this question."
Fu Hongbo was now very clear-headed. Mingwei's husband is in our house right now? You didn't lie to me? "
Lady Wang impatiently said, "Why would I use this to scare you? If she wasn't so disrespectful in Heng Ge'er's courtyard, how would she have provoked such rumors!"
Fu Hongbo shouted angrily, "Foolish woman! Do you know what kind of family that house is? If it were not for the fact that Fang Huaishan had been dragged into a scolding letter, they would not have invited anyone to even see him. Now that his daughter is in our house, you are not well. I think you have lost your mind to listen to someone talk nonsense. I ask you, you didn't find Mr. Fang to say anything? "
Mrs Wang was shocked by Fu Hongbo's anger and said aggrievedly, "Didn't I mention Heng Ge'er just now? I didn't get the chance to talk to her with that silk clothes …"
Fu Hongbo heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, your son is not the same as you! Tomorrow, you better pick some precious gifts and send them to the courtyard of Mr. Fang. If you really force his away, I won't forgive you for the first time. Forget about how lucky Heng Ge'er was to follow her, even if it was the Fang family's reputation in the literati world, it was enough for Heng Ge'er to benefit from it. Forget it, let's just forget it. I'll go and tell Heng Ge'er tomorrow, so that she won't be a good child.
Mrs Wang felt aggrieved and upset. She clearly had good intentions, but in the end, she had to blame them both for not getting in the way. However, she did not know that he was such an ungrateful person. She knew that he was an extraordinary figure and that her son could benefit by following her. Naturally, she did not have much strength to listen to the gossip she had previously heard.
On the second day, the Wang Clan selected the best ginseng, Lingzhi and other precious herbs, and called the Nanny Xue to personally deliver them to the Master Fang. At first, Master Fang was surprised, but after thinking through the details, he felt that it was really funny. It was not like she didn't know what was going on in the Fu Clan's underlings circle. Xiao Tao had also warned her once upon hearing it. But so what? The Master Fang did as he pleased, if Xu Mingwei invited his, or if she was free, he would go and sit in her courtyard.
He straightened his posture and sat upright. If he was to live for someone else, he might as well die.
When Xu Mingwei saw her that day, she asked, "Has Sir received any benefits?"
The Master Fang laughed, "So you knew as well. If I had known this would happen, I would have come here earlier every day. "
Fu Heng was walking in from the outside and upon hearing that, he smiled and asked: "Sir, are you free today, to kill another 100?"
Master Fang stood up and welcomed him with a smile, "That's exactly what you want."
Xu Mingwei laughed and shook her head. These two chess addicts, from the point when they needed to play chess to be able to determine the winner, to now, when they did not even play the game, they were able to surrender. They were more and more familiar with each other's chess paths, and there were countless of them.
