C50 On the Painting of Fenghua Pavilion (Part II)

Xu Minglan said, "Who would mock their own granddaughter like grandfather? Sister Jin Xi is still young, could it be that he won't be able to become a top scholar in the future?"

Xu Mingwei thought, every single one of the Yang family members sounded like a wonderful person, why was the Old Master Xu like the Yang family? In her impression, people who liked to eat never got along too much.

On the other hand, Fu Ninghui laughed and joked, "Even top scholar would be a top scholar, at least in terms of looks."

Fu Heng wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said, "Fortunately I came to the little sister's courtyard today, only then did I find out that there are all kinds of amazing people in this world."

His words were actually frivolous, causing Xu Mingwei to feel even more displeased. If it was in his previous life, when male and female colleagues were talking, even if cucumber flowers came or went, it would not matter. But in Tianqi, this was already an extremely good teasing.

Fortunately, the girls in the room were young, so they did not hear the frivolity in Fu Heng's words. Fu Ninghui quickly coughed and covered it up, then suggested, "Since you are not willing to do it yourself, then let's do it this way. After three rounds, each round will have three lots in hand.

Everyone understood the meaning of his words, even if they were unlucky and win, the question was too low for them to judge, as long as they completed the agreement between Fu Heng and him, it would be enough.

Fu Ninghui's suggestion was immediately agreed upon by everyone. She thought for a moment and added, "Little sister Qiu Bai and I have already given the inscription, so we are not among those who threw the pot. When the two younger sisters of the Zuo family started to learn to read and not participate, the only ones left were Minglan's sister, Sister Ran Xing, Sister Jin Xi, and Sixth Sister and Seventh Sister.

When Xu Mingwei heard her change her address him as "Sixth Sister", she knew that she did not call him by name previously. She couldn't help but feel happy for Xu Mingmei even though she knew that Fu Ninghui was willing to get close to him. To be on good terms with the noble ladies of the capital was equivalent to having a good reputation in front of all the madams of the capital. It just so happened to suit the wishes and expectations of the Lady Ji, and could be considered as their arrival to be worth it.

Xu Mingmei completely did not understand the bends and bends inside, she only felt that if she lost, she would have to fill in the forms, although it was not filled in well, and no one said so, but they did have a lot of pressure, so when she tensed up, the first round's three lots would go down the drain.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Xu Mingwei intentionally sent both rounds two and three to no avail. Xu Mingmei, on the other hand, became more and more obedient, waiting for everyone to finish throwing the lot, and after counting the number of lots, Xu Mingwei lost six. Xu Mingmei was slightly better, she lost four lot and became second to last.

heaved a huge sigh of relief when he heard that he was not last place. He turned his head and worriedly whispered into her ear, "Seventh Sister, are you able to do it?"

Although he was worried for her, Xu Mingmei didn't know what was going on. He just felt that nothing would trouble Xu Mingwei, and no matter what trouble was, once it landed in front of Xu Mingwei, it wouldn't be so thorny.

Xu Mingwei smiled at her and said, "After all, I'm not the exam's top scholar, so what if I can't write anything."

After she finished speaking, she lifted her head to glance at Fu Heng. It was clearly a casual glance, but Fu Heng still felt that he had received a great amount of contempt, and was actually provoked to the point of somewhat winning. In the end, he laughed. He was already so old, yet he still had to lower himself to the same level as a child. It was truly embarrassing. Even though he thought that, Fu Heng still couldn't help but stare at Xu Mingwei's actions, to see what she would write.

In the first round, when Xu Mingwei saw that she had lost three straws, she had already started to think about which topic the question was on. In her memories, there was only a "Where did you find the Prime Minister's Ancestral Hall" that could fit into the pine tree, and when she thought about it again, the last line of the poem was about cypress trees, and not pine trees at all.

There was nothing she could do about it, she intended to randomly write a "I'll be at the top of the mountain, looking down on all the other mountains", when a light bulb went off in her head, she thought of a fragmented poem, and at this moment, she had the confidence to slowly write out a few words with a brush, "I'll be free to sit on a tall branch and leisurely watch a mountain flower".

Without waiting for the last word to end, Qin Jianrui let out a long sigh. Lian Qiubai also could not help but come over and look, and said, "Seventh Sister is at ease with her load.

Yang Jinxi and Fu Ninghui had agreed that it would be Fu Heng alone. After staring at Xu Mingwei for a long time, she did not say a word.

"It's good that the mood is good. It's a pity that there's still something wrong with this flat rhyme." Fu Heng saw that everyone was waiting for his judgement, and after thinking for a moment, he said.

Fu Ninghui said unhappily, "Big brother is just looking for a bone in a chicken's egg, I feel that it's good, in any case, I have enough wine, so I don't want to cause any more trouble here, right?"

The meaning behind his words was that he already had three question marks on him. What should he do? Why would he be so embarrassed to get involved with a group of girls?

Qin Jianrui heaved a sigh of relief, and struggled a few times in his heart. He still couldn't help but steal a glance at Xu Mingwei, which coincidentally met with her calm eyes. Qin Jianrui was startled, and immediately shifted his gaze away. On the other hand, because Xu Mingwei had a good impression of him, she did not mind. The moment their gazes met, she smiled lightly.

Fu Heng saw the two's actions, and could not help but laugh, he never thought that the lazy and rotten Qin Jianrui, would be so playful inside. With so many young ladies, that glance on the pathway, if he remembered correctly, the youngest seven girls of the Xu family had his back towards them, even Qin Jianrui had taken a fancy to it. What could a five-year-old girl possibly do to move others? Fu Heng really couldn't understand, but he was very proud of himself as he had grasped onto Qin Jianrui's hidden weakness.

In fact, Fu Heng was wrong.

Back then, when Qin Jianrui had suddenly met the Fu Clan's female servant on the small path, he had immediately turned his gaze away and did not dare to look too closely at her. When he heard the conversation between Fu Heng and the Fu Clan servants, he thought that the Fu Clan female servants had already left. When he turned around, he saw that the female servant, who was carrying a half grown girl on her back, was peeking at them from under her sleeves.

As he looked, he coincidentally saw through Xu Minglan's act of sneaking an attack on him. The two of them immediately blushed, which was why Fu Heng had misunderstood them. Not to mention that Xu Mingwei was only five years old, even with her reserved and courteous academic nature, peeping upon the female victim was already filled with remorse and remorse. How could she possibly have any strange thoughts towards a child that was so young?

He was only curious about Xu Mingwei. Previously, when the Fu Clan's Miss Biao, Lian Qiubai, was able to write such a free and easy poem that even men felt ashamed of being inferior to, it was already enough to shock him. Later on, when Xu Mingwei showed her hand, although in terms of combat skills, she was inferior to Lian Qiubai, but that calmness and calmness was enough to make people gasp in admiration. Qin Jianrui could not help but develop a sense of intimacy with her.

If he hadn't seen the two misses of the Fu Family and Xu Mingwei's question on the spot with his own two eyes, Qin Jianrui would have never believed that these three inscriptions were written by a girl who was not even six years old. That was why he couldn't help but steal a glance at Xu Mingwei. He could count all the women that Qin Jianrui had seen with just ten fingers, but he stubbornly believed that Xu Mingwei was probably the most beautiful person he had ever seen.

Fu Heng seemed to have satisfied his curiosity, he brought Qin Jianrui and his two younger brothers along and prepared to leave. When he turned back to call Fu Ming and Fu Quan, he realised that just now, the two little ones had actually sneakily drunk the rouge on the table, and were already drunk like monkeys. Two of their cheeks were red, and the two brothers were hugging each other as they curled up under the table and slept soundly.

Fu Heng did not know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately got Nanny Xue to call for a strong woman to carry the two drunk monkeys back to his own courtyard.

Seeing that the Fu family was so busy that they had no time to entertain their guests, Yang Jinxi took the initiative to bid farewell to Fu Ninghui, "I have already been disturbing big sister's house for a long time, the two young gongzi still need someone to take care of you. Since that's the case, I will not disturb you anymore.

Fu Ninghui wanted to stay one more second, but Zhou Ranxing felt that it was meaningless and got up to leave. Initially, Xu Minglan was still reluctant to leave, but seeing that Xu Mingmei and Xu Mingwei were both looking at him, as if they were waiting for her to speak, he could only follow them.

Fu Heng said apologetically from the side, "It's my fault, I disturbed your peace and quiet."

As he was an outsider male, it was hard for anyone to reply him. They could only wait for Fu Ninghui's answer.

At this time, Fu Ninghui was complaining about her brother's nonsense in her heart, and did not even say a word of courtesy before she turned to Xu Mingwei and the others, "This time we are not having a good time, next time we'll go to Sister Jin Xi's house to play."

Everyone nodded their heads and left. When they arrived at the back door of the Fu Family's residence, all the carriages were still there. Only the Zuo Family members had returned early. There was only one carriage in the Zuo family's residence, so the two sisters were sent to the Fu family. The coachman then drove the carriage back, planning to leave the Fu family in the evening. Since it was too early for them to leave, no one came to pick them up.

Fortunately, Fu Ninghui had developed an exquisite heart. She knew that the carriage of the Zuo family was already ready to go back, so she arranged for another carriage to take the two of them back to the Zuo family.
