After Wan Rong and Bi Tao heard this, they immediately packed up their luggage. Initially, Xu Mingwei did not know that Duan Yunping actually had some skill, and could not help but look at him twice more.
Fu Heng explained himself, "With their position, to be able to practice martial arts with a guard at such a young age, it's not strange for them to have some skills."
Xu Mingwei nodded, seeing the two of them stuffing Hou Zhanshan's legs into the box, she asked worriedly, "What should we do next? Such a living person would definitely wake up one day and cause a ruckus.
Fu Heng replied lightly, "It's alright. After bringing the boxes over to Yun Ping's room, we'll have Dong Zi clean up the houses at the back of the county, and move the people over quietly. "
Hearing his assurance, Xu Mingwei thought that there must be a way to guard against Hou Zhanshan's ruckus, so she didn't pursue the matter with a peace of mind.
Fortunately, he was not woken up from his daze by what had happened recently. Fu Heng could do as he had thought. Dong Zi then stayed at Duan Yunping's place, just in case something happened during the night and someone was running over to deliver the message.
Fu Heng returned to his room, but seeing that Xu Mingwei was still seated in front of the candle flame, quietly waiting for him, a breeze seemed to blow past her heart, and she suddenly forgot about a moment ago that her mind was still in a mess. She unconsciously softened her voice and laughed warmly, "It's deep in the night, why are you still not sleeping? There are people ahead who will take care of it, so you don't have to worry about it. "
Xu Mingwei also smiled at him, and said gently, "It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I want to wait for you to come back."
Fu Heng's eyes lit up. It was just that he pitied her for not having a light night, and it was not like the beautiful daydream he had. Thus, despite his joy, he could only walk up to her and gently pull her to the bed. He didn't do anything and just laid her quietly down to sleep.
"Go to sleep. When the sun rises tomorrow, let's go to the county town and have a look." Fu Heng prodded her forehead with his chin, rubbing it lovingly with his hand, and said.
Xu Mingwei could do nothing about it. When she was on the streets, she would be covered by a veil. But after hearing the anticipation in Fu Heng's tone, knowing that he was trying his best to make her happy, Xu Mingwei nodded her head in agreement.
Fu Heng spoke some more, she was tired after all, and after the previous few sentences, he could barely cope with it, but the later parts became more and more blurry, he did not even know when he fell asleep.
In the early morning of the second day, when the sky was still just starting to brighten, Xu Mingwei was still sleeping. When she opened her eyes, she saw Fu Heng with half a face peeking out from under the blanket. When she saw that she had woken up, she smiled meaningfully, "You're finally awake."
Before she could say anything, Fu Heng smiled and kissed her.
At the moment, it was like glue and it was hard to tell the difference between the two. It was already near noon, but there was still no sign of a rest in the house.
Wan Rou and the Lady Mu only delivered a few breakfasts but they were all driven back while shaking their heads. Wan Rou covered her mouth and laughed, "The next time is when I come to deliver lunch, I just hope that the two inside still know how to starve, and won't cause trouble until night."
Lady Mu glanced at her. In the end, she didn't say a word due to her thin-skinned face. Old Lai's family relied on their age and lightly laughed as they scolded, "Little hoof, you're still not married yet. Speaking of this, you have no face at all."
When everyone heard this, they all burst out into laughter. Their eyebrows raised as if they were keeping a secret, full of joy and tacit understanding.
Fortunately, they had only spoken for a short while before the sound of water was heard from inside the room. Wan Rong and the others did not dare delay any further, and immediately ordered hot water from the kitchen. After less than an hour, the two masters finally had a hearty lunch.
At first, it was not only Xu Mingwei who did not dare to look at the Little girl! Little girl in the house with his head lowered, but Wan Rong and the others were too used to serving him. In the past, although there were people who avoided people's nonsense when they were at home, this was the first time such a ruckus had happened. It was no wonder that Xu Mingwei, Wan Rong and the others felt embarrassed.
Seeing her like that, Fu Heng smiled and retreated while Wan Rong and the others listened to her, and only called for people to prepare food for them inside the house. Waiting for everyone to leave, he then chuckled to Xu Mingwei: "There's no one in the house right now, so feel at ease to come over for lunch. It's only right that we went out early to take a look."
Xu Mingwei lifted her head and shot him a glance. She didn't seem to be happy or angry, but her expression had recovered.
A flash of disappointment appeared in Fu Heng's eyes, but he turned back quickly, and did not notice it.
After quietly eating lunch, Fu Heng let Wan Rong find a veil to wear and personally put it on for Xu Mingwei. When she couldn't see his true face, she let go of it with satisfaction.
Xu Mingwei remembered what she had told her yesterday, she did not avoid saying that Fu Heng was also there, and directly told her, "We did delay this morning, I do not need you guys to wait on us for a while, after taking out the silver, we will go for a stroll in the city, and also find some entertainment for ourselves."
After what Wan Rong did yesterday, she was still a little worried.
Fu Heng saw through her thoughts and laughed, "Since your grandmother has already said so, you can rest assured. In any case, there will still be people following you, so you won't be at a disadvantage."
Wan Rong could only nod her head and agree. Wan Rong, Wan Rou and the two girls followed Tie Tou to the market. Fu Heng dressed up as a scholar and led two servants out, hired a palanquin with Xu Mingwei and sat down, then asked the man in the palanquin where the best scenery in the city was, causing them to fly towards Xi Zi Qiao.
It turned out that the Sizi Bridge in Pinglu County was the time for the competition for the lanterns. The competition was not about the colored lanterns in the first month, but rather, it was about the lantern masters in several counties who would hang their masterpieces on the banks of the Xizi River every May through the middle of June. They would buy flowers and throw them into the lanterns of those families who liked to watch the lanterns more. These lanterns looked like a scene during the day, but when they lit up at night, the scene became even more lively and beautiful.
"Tea lamp, chandelier, wall lamp, walking lantern …" You can see all the things that an official would like to see on the bridge, but it is not enough for you to go there now. You can sit in the teahouse on the edge of the bridge and listen to two more books, then you can turn on the lights at night. In the teahouse, you could see the lights in the water and the fire in the world. You could understand what it meant when there was no lights on the flat land. " The sedan bearer was a person of Pinglu County, when it came to the festival, his words were full of pride, unable to be stopped.
When Xu Mingwei heard this from the palanquin, she started to laugh. Fu Heng turned to look at her and asked: "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Mingwei shook her head, she was unwilling to say. Fu Heng thought about it for a while, and then said to the palanquin man, "If that's the case, then this is really a coincidence, I just happened to come at the right time. Although I have yet to see the lamp, I can't help but think that the noble place is the sedan bearer who is full of articles like this brother of yours.
The sedan bearer's face turned red when he heard this, and he laughed honestly, "To be honest, all that you have said before was not from my stomach. It was all said by the Blind Mr on the bridge of the Western Son, this humble one will remember to say a few words to help speak to the outsider."
Fu Heng asked, "Then who is Blind Mr and what does he do for a living?"
The sedan man laughed, "Blind Mr is indeed Blind Mr, after blabbering for so long, no one knows his original name, but at this moment, when an official asked this little one, this little one really taught you a lesson. Blind Mr usually set up a writing booth and helped people write their letters. Occasionally, he would write down their fortune telling for them. Although his eyes could not see, his hand of calligraphy was extremely good. In the past, there were people who didn't believe that he could write something down even if he was blind. He intentionally asked for a letter and then looked elsewhere. Only then did everyone accept it. There are those who pity him, who are blind, unable to make a living, and those who covet his benefits. Over time, there have been a lot of people looking for him.
Speaking of the Blind Mr, the other sedan bearers also talked about it, most of them were in sympathy and admiration, thus secretly kept it in his heart. Perhaps it was out of admiration for the scholar. If that person was truly good, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get a place in the county magistrate court. Moreover, Blind Mr had already lived in the county city for a long time, so he should have a very good understanding of Pinglu County and would benefit greatly by leaving them alive.
Seeing that his face had a look of deep contemplation, Xu Mingwei did not say a word, so as to not disturb him. As the palanquin slowly turned the lane in front of the furnace, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, as if someone was arguing in front of them. Xu Mingwei thought that something was amiss, he turned and asked, "What happened?"
The sedan bearer, who had been talking a lot, replied, "Your highness, the constables and the single family are making a ruckus. There are so many people, I'm afraid the sedan chair won't be able to pass."
After Fu Heng heard this, he stopped the sedan, and asked the servant to look over.
After waiting for a while, he saw that the Pan boy had returned and reported, "Master, this was a case of life and death. A few constables in front of him carried a nameless female corpse and placed it in front of the door of the house. They said that the girl was originally working in the house and was about to bring their master to the yamen to talk. The single family naturally wouldn't do so. As soon as he said that the county yamen had no main representative to sit in, no one would bring a court case against them. Second, the family had a complete population, so they didn't want to go. He also felt that it was very unlucky to be teaching that thing to block the main entrance, and wanted to move it away. "When the two families said that they wouldn't join hands, it started a ruckus."
