C181 A good mother provides charcoal in the snow (1)

The couple slept until almost nightfall. Fortunately, they were experienced enough to serve the guests, so they did not wake up. They only ordered the kitchen to leave a fire burning. They waited for the guests to wash up before cooking. Just like that, when Fu Heng and Xu Mingwei left the house, the food was just right in front of them. It was still steaming hot, and it wasn't so hot that the taste would disappear after a while.

On the table, Fu Heng explained everything that happened in the afternoon at Wang's courtyard to Xu Mingwei, "At that time, Second Aunt and Third Aunt were at Mother's place giving orders, so I didn't have time to discuss it with you. Looking at your body, it will only get heavier and heavier. Are you able to control it? "

Xu Mingwei said, "Wan Rong and the others have also been doing things, with the Old Man's family helping out, if she alone could compare to two or three of the best, it would not be difficult for her. Since you've already said hello to your mother, I'll call for some people to help you choose a few people to please. "When you're not busy yet, look at the girls in our room, they've lost a lot of weight, which is quite pitiful."

Fu Heng nodded and said, "I'll do as you say. No matter how much silver you ask for, it will all be up to you. You can talk to me later if you don't have enough. "

Currently, she had the entire Fu family's silver in her pocket. It was indeed for her to use. But hearing Fu Heng say this, Xu Mingwei was still happy from the bottom of his heart. After a while, the two of them finished dinner. It was cold outside, so they didn't have much to do. They could only lie on the bed and play cards for a while. Fu Heng purposely lost all the Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs in his hands, and gave it all to her to eat. Because they had slept during the day and were tired from walking, the two of them played until the second half of the night. It was only after Wan Rong raised the lamp to persuade them that they were willing to rest.

It was indeed late on the second day. When Xu Mingwei was done dressing, and had used a meal or breakfast, the Old Lai family member came over and said, "Grandmother, Madam has sent someone over and has been waiting for an entire morning. Do you think you're free to meet her?"

Xu Mingwei asked curiously, "How did you get the news so quickly?"

The moment she said that, she guessed that Old Lai's family had given the news and Lady Helan knew. Originally, she had planned to send someone to tell them today.

When the Old Lai family's old servant saw her gaze sweep over, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and subconsciously lowered his head.

Knowing that she was someone who he could trust, Xu Mingwei did not bother with her and asked, "Where is she now?"

"I was waiting outside, did this old servant just bring you in?" The Old Lai family did not dare to act on their own this time, so they respectfully asked.

Xu Mingwei nodded her head, and in a moment she saw three servants dressed up as they entered, greeting him politely upon seeing him: "This servant greets grandma."

Xu Mingwei sized up the three of them as they dressed. The material was all new, showing that they had made new clothes. She was also wearing real silver on her head, which was not something an ordinary servant woman could afford. "There is no need to be so polite, aunts. You got up late in the morning, so I told you to wait. "

These three women were originally placed in the Lady Helan on top of the store. Now that they knew Xu Mingwei was useful, they specifically invited him to come. After waiting helplessly for an entire morning, the three of them thought that their young master was still too young, so they deliberately used such a soft knife to scare the three of them. After listening to Old Lai's explanation and hearing the gentle words of the young master, he finally realized that it was a misunderstanding.

One by one, they came to see the main house. It turned out that the taller one was surnamed Wu, the fatter one was surnamed Jiang, and the skinniest one was surnamed Xu. The three of them had been working in the shop since the beginning, and they were all good at reading accounts.

"Grandmother will not be able to harm us these few days. We will hand over all the chores to the few of us, but if you can't do it well, then come back to ask for help from the other women." Amongst the three of them, she was the one that was regarded more highly by the Lady Helan, and she seemed to be the leader of the group.

Xu Mingwei nodded with a smile, "With you all here, I naturally feel at ease. Aunt Lai, have you arranged a place to stay? When they're settled, you can take them around the house and get familiar with the place. "

Old Lai's family replied and brought someone down. Xu Mingwei thought that there were only three of them, but who knew that after they left, Wan Rong would bring another person in.

"Grandmother, this Lady Jin was specially sent by Madam here. She said that she will only take care of you for a year, and when the time comes, she will even let them go home so that they can reunite with each other." Wan Rong covered her mouth and laughed, she thought to herself, what kind of people are they?

Xu Mingwei did not hide anything as she sized up the people below him. Her appearance was not very outstanding, just a simple and straightforward young girl from a small clan.

"Where is the Lady Jin from? What will it be? "

Knowing that Xu Mingwei had had enough of sizing him up, the Lady Jin raised her delicate eyebrows and said softly, "This servant is from Jiang Zhe, and was ten years old when my mother came to the capital. If it was anything else, it wouldn't be a big deal. The only thing that would have caught his wife's attention was this skill of hers. Your wife was born a servant's mother when you were born. "

So it turned out that she was the one who came from the Lady Helan. Xu Mingwei's face revealed a faint smile, and asked: "Then why didn't I send you mother this time?"

The Lady Jin was neither haughty nor humble, but continued, "Last year, there was an autumn chill. People could not help but get old, and after taking two months of medicine, they still went back."

Hearing her reply twice, Xu Mingwei had a rough understanding of her temper, and said: "Then do you have any other relatives in the capital?"

Lady Jin looked up at her again and replied, "The Fu family is surnamed Jin, they are in the medicinal herb business, they have been out shopping for the past half year, and rarely return home. "Your servant listens to your orders. Apart from the trip back at the end of the month, I don't need to take a break."

That was strange. Her husband was so lucky to be able to make a trip home, but Lady Jin actually didn't need to take a break to go back and reunite with him? Xu Mingwei restrained his curiosity and did not ask, but told Wan Rong that since he wanted to serve her closely, he had to stay with Wan Rong and the others.

Wan Rong laughed, "Grandmother, you don't have to worry. This servant will definitely arrange a good life for the Lady Jin, and definitely not teach her to be wronged."

Just as he was about to follow Wan Rong to his residence, Lady Jin suddenly turned around and said coldly, "Grandma, may I ask which aunty is cooking here?

Xu Mingwei suddenly thought of Xu Minglan. If Lady Liang had treated him with such concern back then, she feared that the ending would be different, she sighed and said, "Wan Rong, after everything is settled, you can bring Lady Jin over to the Nanny Xu. Just tell them that it was my intention, and let her listen to Lady Jin's instructions."

Wan Rong acknowledged, and laughed as she brought Lady Jin out. Ju Nan stood at the side and saw everything clearly. What a cold lady. If he didn't know that she was sent by his wife, he would have felt that some malicious person had sent over to harm his grandma. From the beginning till the end, she didn't reveal a smile, she was ice-cold, her eyes didn't know how to avoid looking at others, she just shot straight at them. Just when she glanced over, Ju Nan's back quivered, as if he was frozen by ice.

Seeing that everyone had walked far away, Ju Nan moved closer to Xu Mingwei and asked hesitantly, "Grandmother, are you not going to look into the Lady Jin's background anymore? I was afraid when I saw her eyes. "

Xu Mingwei laughed and shook her head, and said, "Those who can laugh are good people, and those that can't laugh are bad people. Her eyes were clear. It was from my mother. If you are worried, you can ask around when you have nothing to do, but before you find out anything, you can let people know. "

Ju Nan thought, with a snake like her, how could she not get the news? However, due to her curiosity, she decided to find out about the background of the Lady Jin after changing shifts with Wei Bao.

Thus, the four men sent by the Lady Helan stayed at the Fu Family. This afternoon, Xu Mingwei once again called for Tou Zi over, and picked two to look clean and honest. The granny broker knew that she needed something she could do this time, so she didn't ask for the favor of those girls, saving a lot of effort for her. Therefore, she didn't bargain with the granny broker and bought their death contract for five taels of silver each.

The new buyers were unable to use it for a while, so Xu Mingwei handed the two newbies over to Old Lai for treatment, teaching them to use it before returning them to the courtyard. The two girls were from a farmhouse in the outskirts of the capital. Although their harvest these two years had been poor, there had been quite a few girls who had sold themselves.

With a price of five liang each, the Old Lai family felt that it was too expensive, "For a world like this, you can even bargain a couple of liang at most. Grandmother is truly too kind."

When Peaches heard this, she replied, "If Grandma hadn't been merciful, then she wouldn't be this grandma anymore."

Although she said those words, Wan Rong and the rest understood what she meant, and all of them smiled. Wan Rong said, "Grandma knows that the outside world is hard, but to grandmother, this one or two taels of silver is like a piece of cake, but to the girls under the granny broker, it is very different. If grandmother has to care about all of this, you don't need to eat and drink to raise us, just spend as many months as you need to. Auntie, look at him coldly. Do you think there's anyone who wants to go out after entering our courtyard? I wish I could be old and not be thrown out. "

When Old Lai heard this, he also smiled and sighed, "What you said is true. "The old woman has been here for so many days, and she doesn't want to go back to her mistress, if I may say so."
