After saying that, everyone started laughing, Wan Rou said in annoyance, "You're the only one who's coaxing us right now, if Madam were to wave her hand, who knows how fast you would slip away."
The two newly-arrived girls were nibbling on white mantou, not daring to look around. They only lowered their heads to listen to the laughter of the crowd, and their hearts became calmer.
Before they were brought to the Fu Family by the granny broker, they had heard from her that the grandmother of the family was a kind person. When Xu Mingwei was picking people, they didn't dare to look at her. They only thought that Grandma Fu was a beauty, and their voices sounded really good. When she really picked the right one, the two girls didn't dare to believe it. Now that their hands had bitten into the white mantou, they realized that it wasn't a dream! She secretly made up her mind that she must work hard and not be chased away by others.
Xu Mingwei gave two newcomers a name. One was Meng Ting, the other was Meng Yang. When Fu Heng returned home, she told him all the new helpers in the family, in case he did not even know which one was the real one. Fu Heng only heard but did not care. Instead, he smiled and hugged her by the waist and asked, "Did you do all this when you were home that day? What did he eat? Did he mess with you? "
At first, when she was far away, she could not smell the smell of his meat and alcohol, but when she smelled it, she felt a wave of nausea, causing Fu Heng to be shocked and quickly called for help.
Xu Mingwei shook his head and said, "It's fine, it's just normal vomiting. Just stay away from me. "The smell you're wearing, which restaurant did you go to?"
An unnatural look flashed across Fu Heng's face, and he laughed, "Tian Yuan and the others treating us to food has also not been seen for a long time, so I forgot to ask someone to come back and say it. Don't worry, I haven't touched a single drop of alcohol. "You should know them well. They refused to rest even if they were drunk. In the end, I was the only one who was awake. This smell of alcohol must have come from when I was supporting them."
Pregnancy, late return, lie... She looked like she was going to wear some green on her head. Xu Mingwei took a deep breath and let go of this topic, then said, "In the blink of an eye, the Little Princess will be gone for a hundred days, right? You can look back to see if there are any rare gems in the ancient pavilion, and pay attention to them for me. When the time comes, I'll place a longevity lock on them so that I won't be unable to find them when I need them. "
Fu Heng obviously heaved a sigh of relief, and replied, "I'll look for you tomorrow. You haven't eaten dinner yet, have you? Although I've already eaten outside, I'll accompany you for a bit. "
Xu Mingwei got Wan Rong to pass over the dinner. Two bowls of sesame paste were served along with the dishes, but the weight of three or four mouthfuls only slightly covered the bottom of the bowl.
Fu Heng was puzzled, "Why did you send the snacks up first?"
Wan Rong smiled and explained, "Lady Jin ordered this to be done. She told Grandma to first eat some food to cover her stomach. said that those who are pregnant will eat more of this. In the future, the child will definitely be very intelligent. "
Fu Heng laughed, "Then what about this bowl? Is it to supplement my brain as well? "
Xu Mingwei could not help but laugh, and said: "So you also knew that you need to make up your own brain."
Seeing her happy, Fu Heng didn't care that she had taken advantage of him just because of her words.
"Don't say it, it's really fragrant. "You should eat faster. After a while, you should carefully chill your stomach."
Xu Mingwei then lowered her head and ate his bowl, she did not know what kind of nuts Lady Jin added, it was fragrant and smooth, to grind it so meticulously, it took a lot of effort.
When Wan Rong saw that she had finished eating the sesame paste and was shallowly filling half a bowl of rice for her to eat, she served her the soup for a while. On the other hand, Fu Heng raised his eyebrows, and said unhappily, "This is for feeding the cats, how can that be enough?"
Wan Rong was waiting for him to make a move, she sternly said, "This grandpa should not only look at this half a bowl of rice, but also eat more than just three meals. When the time comes, there will also be fresh fruits and snacks.
When Xu Mingwei looked at the dishes on the table, she knew that Lady Jin had some true skills. The bowl of sesame paste in front of her head was filled with iron. Stir-fried chicken with sweet pepper was used to supplement protein and dietary fiber. Mushroom bean mixed with shrimp was used to supplement folic acid and calcium … Lady Helan said that Lady Jin was good at taking care of pregnant women. Then she smiled and said to Fu Heng, "The mouth is on my body, and is not carved out of wood. If I'm hungry, do you really think you don't know how to look for food?"
Fu Heng thought about the same logic, and stopped thinking about it. After dinner, the couple took a few steps around the room before squeezing onto the bed to read. They didn't disturb each other, so they each had their own interests.
In the evening, Wan Rong came over again to give her some sweet water, but it was red rice chestnut porridge. It was extremely fragrant and had a layer of rice oil floating on top. Xu Mingwei was initially not hungry, but after seeing it, she started to have a bit of an appetite. After eating half a bowl, her entire stomach became warm, and she started to feel sleepy.
Fu Heng drank the porridge comfortably. He had been eating outside for an entire day. The restaurant was big and oily. If it wasn't for the fact that he had a strong foundation since he was young, he might have been sick after a while. Therefore, he was a little convinced with the new Lady Jin, and said, "Mother indeed did not recommend the wrong person, you sure have some skills."
Xu Mingwei laughed and yawned, and then fell asleep. Fu Heng caressed her hair and thought, as expected, she was light as a feather, how was she like him.
His eyes darkened slightly as he got up and blew out the candle. Then, he laid down beside Xu Mingwei and looked around a few times, completely sleepless. After an unknown period of time, the people around him shrank back into his embrace because they were afraid of the cold. Fu Heng subconsciously reached out to hug her. The fragrance that belonged to her quietly assaulted him just like that, lingering in his nose. Slowly, he also fell asleep, sleeping until daybreak.
With the helpers sent by the Lady Helan, along with the Lai Family and Wan Rong, there were not many chores that they had to deal with in front of Xu Mingwei. The two new girls, Meng Ting and Meng Yang, had originally come from an honest family. After getting used to farming, they started the shift with Peaches. Near the end of the year, Lady Jiao was initially waiting for Butler Xu Mingwei to make a mistake. Unexpectedly, the Fu Family's New Year had also passed.
When Lady Wang wiped her cards with her sister-in-law and daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but praise Xu Mingwei many times. When she was making her own new daughter-in-law, she suddenly took the housekeeper's key and account book from her mother-in-law's hands. However, it was Xu Mingwei's turn. She quietly executed everything perfectly, and even a picky person like Wang Shi could not find any fault with it.
Every time this happened, Mayer's disease would only say a few warm words in agreement. Lady Jiao could not help but smile apologetically, only Fu Ming's wife, Lady Zhan, felt even more dissatisfied. Both of them were direct descendants of a daughter-in-law, she had come in earlier than Xu Mingwei! It was just taking up a long character, why did everything have to be placed in front of her! The more times they did so, the more astute they were. How could they not see the jealousy and hatred in Lady Zhan's heart? Lady Jiao and Mayer's disease had seen all of this, and had taken it to heart, waiting for a future attack.
On the tenth day of the first month, the Duke of Qin's residence hosted a Hundred Day Feast for Peace County. As his family, Xu Mingwei was naturally one of them. Fu Heng had indeed found three rare rubies for her, all of them were as big as a small fingernail. Xu Mingwei took the heavy money, took two pieces of advice to the craftsman to carefully embed them, and put on a pair of long life locks, then wrapped them with a red silk cloth as a birthday gift and gifted them to the craftsman. The other one that was left behind was embedded in another safe zone, allowing Wan Rong to take it to the Pei household. Although it would not be easy for the Pei family to set up an event for hundreds of days due to the barrier of filial piety, they still had to show respect to their master's etiquette.
Unexpectedly, he had gotten himself into a drool lawsuit for the sake of these two families' Hundred Day Rites.
That night, all of the Xu Family's women were divided and sat at the table next to the Fu Family's women. Xu Mingwei should have followed Lady Wang and sat at the table with the Fu Family's women.
At first, they were fine, but before Qin Wangfei could walk far, Xu Mingmei carried the Little Princess in her arms and showed her to everyone. Everyone was also praising the child's excellent upbringing, both soft and tender. My Minglan's sister hasn't left for long, this tea is cool enough! He was also a nephew, but with the title of a prefecture lord, he was much more expensive. He even wished that he could strike a gem with his Hundred Day Rites! "Pity my Minglan's little sister, she even thinks these people are good people, and yet she's so devoted to them. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this really makes one's heart go cold!"
Hearing that, wasn't it exactly Xu Mingwei who said those words? For the time being, they held back their smiles, waiting to see a good show for the Xu Family. A flash of anger flashed past Lady Helan's eyes, but just as she was about to flare up, Xu Mingwei held her hand down and shook her head lightly. She turned around with a smile on her face and spoke to Xu Mingmo, "Since Second Sister knows that those people do not know better and want to watch people cook, why be angry? Today was a good day for Sister Mei. If Sister Lan was still here, she would be happy for Sister Mei. Could it be that Second Sister has never heard Fourth Aunt talk about the things she said before her death? "
As soon as these words were said, it seemed to be extremely harsh on the heart. In front of him, Xu Mingmo was even using the excuse of helping his sister, using the hundred day gift as a pretext to ridicule Xu Mingwei for thinking that she was poor and loved rich, so that she could climb high. Then, Xu Mingwei gave her a soft nail in return, pointing to the fact that she was there when Xu Minglan died, but not there. Who was who and what was who? When the people present heard this, they naturally knew what was going on.
