Since fourth wife was someone who could cause trouble, her three daughters were not easy to deal with. It was fine if they did not make a mistake and had to be sincerely thanked. He might as well leave such things like carrying someone on his back for his master to do. At the very least, he wouldn't have to complain behind his back.

At this moment, a man's voice came from the other side of the pathway. Xu Minglan was a bit older, after all. That old woman hurriedly comforted her, "Lady Xu, you don't have to panic. The ones ahead are the eldest young master and the others. They probably forgot that there are women who came looking for us today. If they can't find us, then they will leave."

Xu Mingmei nervously held Xu Mingwei's hand. The strange man that she had seen in her life, other than the servants in the house, was her aunt's cousins.

Fu Heng laughed when he heard it, "Then Nanny Xue, you can leave. Brother Yuanshan and I borrowed a book called 'Guan Gu's Talk Today' from my sister's room, remember to tell her about it when we meet."

When they walked out of the pathway, he let out a long sigh, smiled and turned to his schoolmate, "Brother Yuanshan, it's my fault, to think that you forgot that today is the day little sister will be treating us as guests. In a while, you won't be able to go to the cypress forest, or do you want to return to my courtyard's study to continue the interrogation?"

Qin Jianrui was startled, and couldn't recover from his shock for a long time. Seeing Fu Heng smiling at him, his face reddened, and he replied, "I will listen to Brother Yan Zhen."

Seeing that he was in a daze, Fu Heng laughed and joked, "I didn't know that Brother Yuanshan's expression is so good, the few little girls just now all stood on their sides, and even then, Brother Yuanshan was able to clearly see who's beautiful and ugly, I like which one. I'll go ask my little sister again."

"Brother Yan Zhen, you shouldn't make such a joke. Those few ladies are decent and upright families, it's already our fault for offending them and teasing them behind their backs. It's not something a gentleman should do."

Fu Heng was somewhat unable to endure his sour mood, and knew clearly that his classmate had always been this way. He immediately let go of this topic and stopped joking, beginning to talk about other things with him.

Qin Jianrui came from a poor family and had lost his father when he was young. He had relied on his family's few acres of land and the clan's support to study. Even though his family was poor, he did not feel ashamed of it. To interact with a disciple of Fu Heng's background was neither humble nor arrogant, but because of this, he did not care much about the reputation of relying on power, and continued to call Fu Heng and the others fellow daoist. So even though Qin Jianrui was often a bit stubborn and sour, he was still willing to interact with him regularly.

When the Nanny Xue saw that the two of them had finally left, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, nothing happened. She paid the debt with Xu Minglan and the others, and didn't dare to delay any longer as she brought the three Xu sisters to the Warm Xiang Pavilion.

When Xu Minglan got off Nanny Xue's back, Xu Mingwei saw that her face was flushed red. It was unknown if she was scared or held in, she pretended not to see it and followed Nanny Xue and the little girls inside the house.

The five girls in the room, the ones who were waiting for tea, the ones who were arranging flowers, and the ones who were looking for books on the bookshelves, all of them were busy. Nanny Xue and the girl who was guarding the door brought a bunch of people in, and it was unknown if the young lady in green, who was half-reclining on the bed, saw them first. My cousin said she had visitors, but she didn't tell me which ones. "

Xu Mingwei saw that her face was pale white, as if she was lacking something. However, her brows were open and cheerful, and she had a smile on her face when she spoke, unlike her sister Lin Dong who was depressed and bitter.

"The three ladies of the Xu family have arrived. What are you doing?" If you keep tossing and turning like this in the house and don't open the windows, it would be easy for you to cough if you were to raise dust. " When Nanny Xue saw that the girls in the house treated him so inappropriately, she raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily.

When Jingyan, who was flipping through the books, heard this, she immediately knew that it was referring to her, and jumped down from the shelf to shout the injustice, "Nanny Xue is unjustly accused, it's because Miss Biao left last night with a cold. Doctor Nan just came by this morning, he said that it's not good to open the windows in the house, it's better to hold in your sweat and take the medicine first. This servant here isn't the one sent by the Eldest Young Master to flip through the books. In the early morning, I was searching the entire courtyard for a single book, and I don't know if I ended up in Miss Biao's room or if I ended up in Miss Biao's. This is urgent and urgent, so this servant can only climb up and down to look for it. "

Nanny Xue glared at her, "If I were to say one word for you, there would be ten lines waiting for you. No matter how glib your words are, next time when the Old Mistress is about to give her life, you don't need to invite that storytelling singer.

His words made all the girls in the room burst into laughter. Jing Yan herself was laughing, she had almost knocked over a vase when she was not paying attention.

Nanny Xue could not help but say to her, "You are too rash. You should go behind to chop firewood. If you do it badly, you should at least injure your own hands and feet."

Jing Yan called out, "Nanny Xue has a good and bad heart, I can't even call you granny, how can you be an elder like this."

His aunt, seeing that she had lost her mother and was also sickly, intentionally picked out a lively girl to put in her room. The liveliness was lively, but it also seemed to have lost its composure.

"Jing Xuan, hurry up and have a look at the tea with the guests." Lian Qiubai stood up straight and ordered the little girl in red clothes.

Jing Yan then stopped teasing, and immediately went up to call Xu Minglan and the rest to sit by the small window. Some of them were supposed to be in the suburbs of Beijing during the season, and some were precocious cherries and strawberries. They were extremely difficult to serve, and if they were not careful and took care of, they might even be feeding the birds.

When the tea was served, Xu Mingwei was even more certain of her judgement. This cousin was also highly valued in the Fu Clan.

Lian Qiu Bai saw that Jing Xuan had poured some tea for them, and then said slowly, "The tea that Uncle brought back was fresh and fried, and was placed in my room the whole time. It was all thanks to the blessings of his sisters that she was able to smell it today. It was indeed very fragrant. It's a pity that I don't have a good stomach and I can't drink green tea. I can only drink Pu'er and black tea normally, and few people seem to drink this in the north. It's hard to find even a good pot of tea, so I won't be in the way of my sisters' eyes. "

Xu Mingwei laughed, "Train big sister likes to drink black tea, I actually have a few jars of them. When uncle is wandering, he had people bring along various specialties from all over the place, coming all the way back and forth. If the girls get annoyed, they can just leave it all at the little warehouse without saying anything.

It was at this time that Lian Qiubai saw her appearance clearly. He was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting, "I don't know elder sister's name yet, but you asked for something. That really makes my face heat up."

Xu Mingwei also looked at her intently, her oval face was slightly thin, her facial features were small and delicate, especially her pair of eyes, it was not big, but it was extremely spirited. When she looked at people talking, it was as if the entire night sky was shining with starlight, causing people to accidentally fall in.

Xu Mingwei naturally took over the conversation and asked, "I still don't know who the elder sister is when it comes to order. My surname is Xu and my maiden name is Mingwei, I'm ranked seventh at home, and I'm born on the sixth birthday, I don't know …"

Lian Qiubai covered his mouth and chuckled, "You called me wrongly, could I call you Seventh Sister? So it turns out that I'm one year older than you. It's my birthday in December and Sister Ning Hui's birthday is in February. Even though it's the same year, I still suffered a loss and have to call her Cousin Sister. "

Xu Mingwei nodded in agreement. Xu Mingmei and Xu Minglan also followed suit and arranged the order. Xu Mingmei's birthday was also in June, so it was needless to say Xu Minglan. In the end, Xu Mingwei was still the last, with Lian Qiubai being second from the bottom. Those few older sisters could not be considered as wronged anymore.

"I called a few elder sisters from Seventh Sister and changed a pot of rare tea. Lian Qiu Bai said with a smile. His pale face was slightly flushed.
