The two Zuo sisters and Zhou Ranxing also agreed on this, and everyone set a date for the day after tomorrow.
Eldest Princess seemed to be reading the book in her hands, but in reality, his ears were perked, she was paying attention to their voices, and upon hearing that Fu Ninghui and the others had already decided to go play at Xu Mingwei's home, a bold idea slowly surfaced in her heart.
Xu Mingwei was still wondering to herself why the Eldest Princess was so quiet today. Not only did she not bother him, she did not talk to him either. How could she have known that the Eldest Princess would silently make a decision that would shock the entire imperial palace.
Since it was soon to be Mu rest day, it was probably the same as Friday in their previous life. Everyone in the academy was absent-minded, and their minds were already flying out of the window. It was only when the two masters, Fang Liang and Fang Li, threatened to leave the hall for those who did not do their homework, that everyone finally stopped thinking about it.
Finally, on the day they left the palace, Xu Mingwei and Xu Minglan was arranged to sit in a car, while Fu Ninghui and Zhou Ranxing sat together. Xu Mingwei thought of the bracelet that Xu Minglan had especially showed off in front of him, and couldn't help but glance at her wrist. She didn't see any trace of the Shrimp's whisker bracelet and was only wearing a pair of jade. Probably because she was afraid that she would be worn out, Xu Mingwei suddenly had a smile on her face as she raised her head to look right at Xu Minglan's probing eyes.
Xu Minglan glared at her snappily, smiling weirdly. It was unknown what she was secretly cursing at her for. The two of them did not speak along the way as they silently arrived at the front of the Xu family's gate. They saw Master Fang coming down from the carriage.
Xu Mingwei hadn't seen her for a long time, she yearned for her, threw away the peaches and ran towards Master Fang.
"Master Fang, how come you are back so quickly?" she asked curiously.
"The road to Zetang has been blocked by torrents. The carriages and people couldn't get through. After staying at the inn for two days, they heard from the bailiff that the road couldn't be cleared within a month. The coachman said that there were more and more refugees in the area, and he was afraid that a change might happen if time went on, so we came back. " The Master Fang didn't care that Xu Mingwei was just a child and answered seriously.
The driver behind him was the one that Old Lady Xu had specially instructed to send him back to his hometown. When he saw Xu Mingwei, he respectfully bowed and said, "My lady might not know this, but the mud in that place is loose, and it is raining everyday. I am afraid that there are even more powerful people behind us. "The most important thing to do is to go to Zetang at all times."
Xu Mingwei saw that he was born with a big back, and was extremely careful, and could not help but pay more attention to him, and asked him: "You did very well, what's your name, how old are you this year, and what family do you have in the residence?"
"My name is Tie Tou, I was retrieved from a pile of corpses by the old man. I don't have a single family member at home, I'm 18 years old this year." Even though Xu Mingwei was young, the man still replied respectfully, not showing any disrespect.
When Xu Mingwei heard that he was only eighteen years old, she couldn't help but look at him up and down. Let alone eighteen, there would even be people who would believe him if she said twenty-eight!
Tie Tou saw the meaning in her eyes and blushed red in embarrassment. He scratched the back of his head and said, "This little one looks anxious, but this little one is definitely true. This little one has just turned eighteen and does not dare to lie to seven girls about this matter."
Xu Mingwei remembered it now, previously, when the Old Lady Xu was still holding her in her arms, she had talked about this incident with the Old Master Xu. Lin Nan was suffering from famine, he was a thousand miles of floating human corpses, the person in charge of supervising the use of silver for disaster relief back then was the Old Master Xu. On the way there, he had picked up a lot of people like Tie Tou who were left behind from the famine, but there were not many who could live as long as he was.
Seeing that she had suddenly stopped talking, Tie Tou did not know that he had said those words wrong to offend the little mistress, and looked nervous on the surface.
However, Master Fang understood his as a little disciple. He turned around and instructed Tie Tou to bring her boxes and cages to the guest courtyard. Then, he reached out to grab Xu Mingwei's hand and said lightly, "Go back to the courtyard and pack up your things. Come to my room later.
She was only paying attention to Xu Mingwei, and had forgotten about the Xu Minglan who was standing not too far away. This angered Xu Minglan to the point that she glared at Xu Mingwei's back once again. One or two of them, only had Seventh Sister in their eyes, she was also the daughter of the Xu family!
Xu Mingwei who was hated by others did not realize that the Master Fang was especially kind to her today, which surprised her a little. When she returned to moon-nesting, Bi Tao had already brought back all of her luggage. Wan Rong also informed her about some of the snowball s, as if nibbling on something and breaking it. Xu Mingwei rubbed the snowball that was rubbing against her, and only laughed, "It doesn't understand, it has to be taught slowly, at least it's not some valuable thing, if it's broken, then it's broken."
Wan Rong could only sigh and leave. Since this lady doted on the snowball, the rest of the servants could only allow her to do as she pleased.
After Xu Mingwei changed her clothes, she headed towards the courtyard of Master Fang. Before she even got close, she could hear the clear, cold zither music floating in the distance. It was neither sad nor happy, only respectful.
The Master Fang was indeed a remarkable woman who could carry a heart and soul in this world after the upheaval in his family. Xu Mingwei respected her even more in her heart, so she didn't want to interrupt her zither music. She stood at the door and waited for her to finish playing the entire song before respectfully knocking on the door and entering.
Master Fang nodded at her with a smile, "You came a long time ago? Come in and sit down. "
Xu Mingwei replied and kneeled down in front of her.
Master Fang looked at the little girl in front of him with some satisfaction and asked, "Are you used to staying in the palace for the past few days?
Xu Mingwei answered each and every one of them in detail. She knew that Master Fang and Fang Liang had some connections with each other, and she didn't know if she was asking this question or not.
Master Fang's face froze for a moment as a hurt look appeared in his eyes.
Just as Xu Mingwei was secretly regretting her words, Master Fang suddenly sighed and said softly, "It's been so many years, I never thought that there would still be someone who remembers my father."
Master Fang saw Xu Mingwei's conflicted expression, he wanted to ask but did not dare to ask, and laughed, "Actually it is not much of a big deal, after so many years, when my father was in trouble, they had also sent silver back to our family, however, they were restricted by our family rules, so in the end, they still returned it all back. After entering the capital, we don't go to find my father's old friends, but it's not that we really hate them, on one hand it's inconvenient for us to go out, on the other hand I can rely on myself to eat, and don't want to catch my breath, do you understand? "
Xu Mingwei nodded her head, and praised him sincerely, "Sir is truly capable, you don't have to rely on others to survive."
Master Fang laughed and asked her, "Are the two gentlemen in the palace in good health?"
Xu Mingwei answered, "I have never learned Huang Qi's technique, all I know is that the two gentlemen are very arrogant when it comes to scolding people, and can even run two laps around the house while chasing after Eldest Princess."
Master Fang had the most laughter today, so he asked in surprise, "Why is Eldest Princess so mischievous?"
Xu Mingwei shook her head, "Eldest Princess is just curious, we get along really well, and it's even easier than dealing with the sisters at home."
The Master Fang's face turned cold, and said, "This kind of thinking is bad, no matter how bad our family's sisters are, breaking their bones and tendons, getting intimate with each other is the most important thing."
Xu Mingwei was unconvinced in her heart, she believed that if it wasn't for the differences, she would just leave. With Xu Minglan's personality, she could endure it, but if she was asked to come over and fall in love with him, she would definitely not be able to do so. There was only one Xu Minglan left, when her two elder sisters came home, it was truly lively.
But she respected the fact that Master Fang did not refute her directly and nodded in agreement, "I will remember Teacher's words."
How could Master Fang not see the unwillingness in her eyes, and he said indifferently, "Friends have their pick, but family cannot. The Xu family is big, not just you two and your sister, but also countless other brothers-in-law and brothers and sisters. "If you don't tighten into a rope, and if you don't need any strength from outside, you can scatter yourselves."
Xu Mingwei then understood a bit of the truth, she restrained her injustice and bowed: "I understand, thank you for your teachings, Mister."
In this world where fame was at stake, she did need to keep a close eye on Xu Minglan so that she wouldn't be tricked by the arrogant Fu Clan into doing something out of line that would ruin her family's reputation.
Coming out from the courtyard of the Master Fang, Xu Mingwei remembered her promise with Fu Ninghui and the others. She didn't know if Xu Minglan talked to the Lady Ji about this, so she decided to go around the Second Branch on her way back to check the Second Branch.
Lady Ji had just woken up from her nap, her body had become heavier and fatter, even the slightest movement could cause her to sweat, thus she had dismissed the maidservants in the house to clean up the sweaty bedding, while she herself sat by the window to take a breather after having showered. When she heard that Xu Mingwei had come alone to her own courtyard, she couldn't help but be surprised. The big house's Seventh Miss was still looking for her at this time, so what would happen?
When Xu Mingwei came in, he saw that her cheeks were flushed red and her clothes were untidy. She was slightly shocked and after asking Lady Ji if she was alright, she explained her purpose in coming here.
Only then did Lady Ji know that the reading partners of her group had privately arranged to take turns at the job, and was overjoyed. Didn't they just happen to fall in love with her? She immediately agreed with a smile on her face, "Mingwei, don't worry. I know about this matter, so I'll hand it all over to me. I'll keep all of your fun and fun for you."
Hearing her words, Xu Mingwei's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately warned her, "Second Aunt need not be too organized, it is just a few daughters getting together to play, with a few tables in the garden, a few chess pieces are enough for me."
