Although Xu Mingmei did not know that the Lady Ji had changed her attitude towards Xu Mingwei, she was extremely happy in her heart. Without waiting for the Lady Ji to chase her away a second time, she happily accepted the Fu Family's invitation and ran towards the moon-nesting with Wan Feng. Wan Rong took the tea that was used to treat guests and greeted her, and did not treat her as an outsider. She let her do as she pleased, and then pulled Wan Feng over to help her pick out the silk threads, in order to weave the money Xu Mingwei used in the palace.
After waiting for a long time, he finally managed to get Xu Mingwei to come back.
Xu Mingmei felt that it was boring and shook her head. She passed the Fu Clan's invitation over for her to see, and asked curiously, "Why did the Fu Clan suddenly send a card over to Seventh Sister? Is that your love in the palace? "
Xu Mingwei remembered the three days she had briefly spent with Fu Ninghui in the palace, and said slowly, "If there's anything in this world that can talk to anyone, there's probably no one else apart from Sister Fu."
Xu Mingmei was confused when she heard it, and asked: "Is that good, or bad?"
Xu Mingwei gave a bland smile, "Naturally, it's good for you."
Although Xu Mingmei was born into a bad family, with the Xu family's golden name, Fu Ninghui would never treat her badly. Furthermore, Xu Mingmei's personality was simple, perhaps she could fall for Fu Ninghui even more. After all, people always liked people who had things they didn't have. People like her and Fu Ninghui, who had too much thought, would mostly be attracted to people who had pure hearts, such as Xu Mingmei and Bi Tao.
Xu Mingmei felt more at ease after hearing what she said. In the blink of an eye, she had forgotten about the Fu Clan once again, so she asked her about her encounters in the palace.
Xu Mingwei roughly told her about it, and introduced the people she might meet tomorrow to her once in a while. Everyone else was still fine, but Zhou Ranxing was the only one who needed to pay attention, and would not be easy to get along with.
Xu Mingmei memorized it in her heart, and after looking through all of the homework that Xu Mingwei had written these past few days, she sighed to herself and said, "So I was actually a little lazy. When I saw the words Seventh Sister, I felt that I couldn't continue to be in such a desolate place. When I returned to the courtyard, I tied up the small sandbag.
Xu Mingwei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said, "How can I have someone who says that wind is rain, it is good that I have this kind of intention, slowly practice, this matter cannot be rushed. Didn't those calligraphy experts practice for decades before they managed to obtain that little bit of skill? Don't hurt your hand later. "
The two sisters were talking about their work. Wan Ting brought the little girl in from Lady Ji's room and entered with a basket in her hands, and when she saw Xu Mingwei, she immediately kowtowed to him. Without waiting for her to ask, she smiled and said, "This servant is Silver Frost from Second Wife's room, I have come to deliver something to seven girls."
As she was speaking, the lid of the basket loosened, revealing a furry round forehead. Hearing the voice in the room, her snow-white ears, which were like a small mountain, shrank back, making her seem somewhat familiar.
Seeing that the snowball was struggling to come out but was afraid of being caught by it, the Silver Shuang brought the basket along with it to Xu Mingwei's feet, only then did she open the lid.
"snowball?" Xu Mingwei cried out uncertainly. The ball of fur dragged his feet with a hint of accusation and jumped onto Xu Mingwei's lap, raising its hind legs high up to lick them.
"Second Wife thinks that you like this cat. It's inconvenient for you to look for it in the outer courtyard. Since you're at home today, I specifically asked this servant to send you the cat." Silver Frost explained with a smile.
Xu Mingwei reached out her hand to stroke the snowball's fur, and it was still moist. It was obvious that she had just finished showering, and couldn't help but smile. "Then I'll have to trouble elder sister to thank Second Aunt for your love."
"Miss is praising me. How can this servant be worthy of being called big sister?" six girls has not seen you for a long time, so Second Wife says that there's no need to go back to eat dinner. We'll eat dinner together with you, and Second Wife even told the kitchen to make you some ointment crabs, scalding a pot of osmanthus wine and adding honey. Silver Frost laughed.
Xu Mingwei nodded, "Second Aunt is too polite." She also asked Wan Yi to take out half a silver and sent it out with the silver. The Second Branch had always been rich, so the thick-skinned girl would often take Lady Ji's silver. Therefore, this little bit of silver was nothing, and Silver Frost accepted it without hesitation. After thanking Xu Mingwei, he picked up the basket and left.
Xu Mingwei smiled, and purposely took a few handfuls of the snowball's body, causing it to snore.
Xu Mingmei replied unhappily, "Where's that?! You haven't been at home for the past few days, and aren't you the one that I've been feeding the snowball? This little fellow just doesn't have any conscience.
When these words came out, all the girls of moon-nesting were amused. Xu Mingwei laughed until her shoulders trembled, and said, "Aiyo, I have never seen such praises from people like Sixth Sister, nor have I ever seen such self-deprecation from people like him …"
Xu Mingmei's face heated up because of everyone's laughter, but at this time, the snowball curiously raised its head, looked at Xu Mingmei, then at Xu Mingwei, standing up and stretching its back, then laid down on Xu Mingwei's knees.
The few girls laughed even more. Xu Mingmei grudgingly grabbed onto the snowball's body, "Ingrate."
The snowball turned its head and looked at her. It thought that she was playing with it and meowed daintily, then went over to lick her finger.
After laughing for a while, they finally stopped. The snowball licked their fur clean, jumped to the ground and walked around Xu Mingmei's feet, then started to walk around, inspecting its new territory.
Seeing that it was beautiful, Wan Ting and the others could not help but take the thread in their hands to tease it. The snowball was not afraid of living, it waved its claws and pounced forward, grabbing the chores that were doing for a long time until they were in a complete mess, provoking Wan Rong's cry of surprise.
"Serves him right. Who told you to tease it with a thread ball. You made it for nothing." Xu Mingmei said complacently as he recovered some face.
Wan Rou raised the half broken chain in her hand and laughed, "The snowball was actually broken by Sister Wan Feng, she wanted to beat it up for you."
Xu Mingmei turned around and complained to Xu Mingwei, "Seventh Sister, you don't need to care about the girls in your room, they are all so evil."
Wan Ting put her hands on her waist and laughed, "six girls has a kind heart and wants to punish us. The one who destroyed the Luo Zi is the snowball, you should explain to the snowball what's right and wrong."
Everyone laughed again. The kitchen lady had just happened to deliver the food over, and it should have been Wan Ting who went out to fetch it, but today, because Xu Mingmei was around, everyone laughed and forgot about it. The old woman guarding the gate saw that she wasn't a stranger, so she let him in on her own accord.
Wan Ting hurriedly went forward to receive the box and set it on the table with Wan Feng. It was actually a dish filled with water, a sliced radish, beef, lamb, and tofu, as well as a large basket of green bean sprouts.
Wan Ting was puzzled, "Is this to make a warm crucible?"
Hearing Wan Ting saying this to herself, she bent her waist and smiled, "Today, I sent a live lamb for slaughter. Tonight, all the institutions will eat this warm cauldron and taste its freshness."
Xu Mingmei saw that the lamb was blood-red, and had not been sliced yet. She was a little afraid, and did not dare go closer. Xu Mingwei hadn't eaten a hotpot for a long time, and was a little greedy. She came over to take a look, and asked in confusion, "Are you going to cut this lamb now?"
Seeing that she had come personally, the Nanny Xu became more respectful and said with a smile, "To reply young lady, it would be better to slice it already."
Xu Mingwei saw that there were still radishes in the scalding vegetables and asked curiously, "Why are there also radishes at this time of year? Didn't the radishes only come in the winter? "
The ancient times were not like the modern times, where vegetables were seasonal and distinct. Vegetables that went out of season were not found all year round. Xu Mingwei gradually got used to it and asked.
