On this point, the Xu family was rather strict with their descendants. They were not allowed to bully others and cultivate such a domineering character. But looking at Uncle Ning's Mansion who only had Lord, the young masters were just too mischievous, so how could they be called Tian Jia?

Xu Mingbai couldn't help but worry for his little sister. This was the first time he started to suspect that his mother was talking about the Uncle Ning's Mansion as a marriage match. Thinking of this, Xu Mingbai deeply furrowed his brows.

Xu Mingwei thought that at that time, with so many people entering the palace, as long as she didn't rush forward herself, she would be fine. Kids who were only five or six years old, how much trouble could they cause?

Xu Mingqiang looked out of the window at the rose flower rack for a good while, then sighed and advised, "Little sister, where did you get this information from? Didn't that person tell you that the person chosen by the palace is a girl from the Shangguan family with a rank above third rank, and she can't be old, as long as she is five years old or above. Look at our family, other than the Seventh Sister, who else can we send? "

Hearing this, Xu Mingdong's face still looked unsightly, he angrily sat on the side of Xu Mingqiang and said, "Anyways, I can't stand her way of doing things, the house is truly too tyrannical, we're all part of the same family, why would I be afraid that we would snatch her away? If it wasn't for my mother's wife speaking, I wouldn't even know that such a huge thing had happened in the mansion."

"Mother's wife said so?" "These wives' mouths are becoming more and more fragmented. They dare to say anything in front of everyone …" Xu Mingqiang frowned in dissatisfaction.

She suddenly felt a little envious of Xu Mingwei. She had a good mother like her, Lady Helan, to protect and protect him. As for her and Fourth Sister, many things seemed to depend on him. With how casual Mu Rong was, even the servants in her own courtyard wouldn't be able to control her. When she saw flowers, she would feel sad, when she saw flowers, she would shed tears. But when she was told to write a proper calligraphy, she would find it vulgar and humiliate their scholarly character.

As a child, Xu Mingqiang should not have criticized her birth mother to such an extent, just thinking about it would be unfilial. However, Mu Rong had not been doing well all these years. When they first married, most of the villas and shops that were accompanied by outsiders were sold off by her at a low price, and she bought calligraphies, paintings, and sculptures. It didn't matter if she was a famous expert. After that, he was taken by Xu Tiankang to let those who knew better see that she was just a copy.

Because of this, Xu Tiankong and the Mu Rong argued quite a few times. Originally, the dowry husband's family had no right to ask about it. If news of his wife's dowry were to spread, it would be extremely shameful. If it was serious, it could even drag down the marriage of the descendants for a few generations. The Murong Zu family sent someone over, and after counting the dowry, only a small portion was left to Mu Rong, while the remainder was divided amongst the children of the Mu Rong for the purpose of marrying into their families in the future.

Although he had done this secretly at that time, it was after all, a matter concerning the face of the three rooms. However, in the end, the families of those that he should know gradually found out about it, and didn't know how to laugh at them behind their backs. Normally, Mu Rong would not be able to rely on this. In another two years, he would be at the age to discuss marriage, and the few daughters he was familiar with had already agreed on marriage with each other. Only he had yet to make any moves … She heaved another long sigh, and for the first time in her life, she had an almost absurd thought.

As Xu Mingqiang reminisced about herself, Xu Mingdong's rage finally subsided a bit. She laid on her bed for a while, bored out of her mind, but when she saw that her big sister was focused on ignoring him and picking her up, she used his hands to block her sight and then deliberately pulled on the handkerchief in her hands.

Xu Mingqiang looked at her in a good mood and laughed: "How are you unhappy?"

"Big Sis, don't you feel bored embroidering like this everyday? Why don't we take a walk in the courtyard of the Seventh Sister and see how full of ourselves this future princess will be reading? " Xu Mingdong pouted.

"What can the Seventh Sister look like? Isn't it the same? Two eyes, one nose and one mouth. What's there to look at? If you want to go, go by yourself. Besides, I've been embroidering this handkerchief every day and find it very interesting. It's unlike you, the embroidery shelves are like those with thorns, they can't even hold them for half a second. " Xu Mingqiang didn't even raise her head as she carefully drove her needles forward.

Xu Mingdong was so angry that he sat up on her bed and stomped his feet, "Big sister, you're so boring. If you don't want to go, then don't. I have been here for so long, and big sister is only concerned with embroidery, not caring about others.

As she spoke, she slipped away, causing the little girl, Yin Hong, to not be able to chase after her. She hurriedly apologized to Xu Mingqiang and ran out with her skirt held high.

"Eldest Miss, Fourth Miss left just like that. Will there be any problems?" Xu Mingqiang's big girl Yin Zi asked worriedly.

"Eldest Miss!" Yin Zi let out a cry of shock as she was caught off guard by Xu Mingqiang's sharp gaze.

"Go find another piece of cloth, Aunt is extremely meticulous, she can even tell that there was a mistake with the needle, and can only start over." Xu Mingqiang threw the torn handkerchief to the side and said indifferently.

Yin Zi looked at the stained handkerchief and sighed in her heart. It was a pity, but she didn't dare to persuade him otherwise. She quickly opened the box and picked up another piece of high-quality silk.

However, Xu Mingdong had run out of Xu Mingqiang's courtyard without even seeing her chasing him, making him even more frustrated. He had ran to the Mirror Lake alone to play with the rocks, just in time to miss the opportunity to find her using the Little Bamboo Forest.

Xu Mingdong sat by the lake and broke off a willow branch to play with the greedy and stupid golden carp in the lake. After laughing for a while, he had actually forgotten what he had come here for. When he went around the moon-nesting to find out that there was no results, and followed the small path to the Mirror Lake, he realised that Xu Mingdong had fallen asleep beside the pavilion at the center of the lake, and only then did he relax.

She was really afraid that the Fourth Miss would run out into the courtyard and cause trouble.

The dark red was worried that Xu Mingdong would catch a cold while he was sleeping, so he quickly pushed him awake and went back to the courtyard to boil another thick bowl of ginger soup for him to drink.

Compared to the ruckus in the three rooms, which happened so quickly, the three girls from the fourth wife had nearly worn out Xu Tianzheng's ears.

Other than the main house, the main house of the Xu family had officials, and the other house that was serving as an official was fourth wife.

The fourth master, Xu Tianzheng, was an assistant minister of the Ministry of Government and was in the third rank as a government official. He just so happened to be in the selection category. It was a pity that they only had three daughters in this room. The eldest, Xu Mingmo, was already twelve years old, and the youngest, Xu Minglan, was also seven years old.

But the Lady Liang did not care. It wasn't easy for her daughter to have a chance to show her face. Why should she just let someone from the main house take advantage of her? In terms of family background, the people leading the fourth wife were all direct descendants, and Lady Helan was a famous family, her ancestors were not bad too, Ming Lan was only older by one year, if they were to fight for her, why is it not more suitable than the big house?

Xu Minglan was confused, she did not know what it meant to be a reading partner for princesses in the palace. Her sisters wanted her to fight for it, so her mother wanted her to too. Moreover, she was also willing to displease Xu Mingwei, so she added fuel to the fire. After being instigated by others, she pestered her father Xu Tianzheng every day to go to the palace to read with him.
