When the Lady Ji heard him say this, his heart finally dropped. He got the wet nurse to open the chest and give him 500 taels of silver.
"Servants always need silver. Take these and use them. If there's not enough, come to the mansion and ask for more."
regular doctor looked at the banknotes worth five hundred silver taels and was stunned for a moment. He sighed in his heart. If she hadn't met him and switched to a greedy one, wouldn't he have just given him such a generous offer? He immediately pushed it back three hundred taels and smiled. "With this, it's enough. Even if you put more on you, you won't be able to lose it. It's the same if you come back to the mansion when you need it."
Seeing that the regular doctor was adamant, the Lady Ji let him go. He had the Yin Mu Zi send him out, but when he looked back, he felt uncomfortable. He suspected that the regular doctor did not have any good intentions, but unfortunately, it was late, so he could not call a doctor, so he decided to wait until tomorrow to see someone else.
Lady Ji couldn't sleep soundly after this incident, and got up the next day dizzy. She did not have the intention to greet the other girls along with Xu Mingwei and the others, but she still remembered to send Xu Mingmei to the Xueju to get to know him.
It wasn't easy for Fu Ninghui to get his mother's consent to bring Lian Qiubai and Fu Quan here today. Zhou Ranxing also brought his second wife's elder sister and sister. The two Zuo sisters, on the other hand, only came, not the two from home. Everyone introduced themselves and recognized each other. They gathered in groups of three or five and chatted and laughed together. At that moment, it was as if the Xueju was celebrating the New Year, it was extremely lively.
Xu Minglan's heart surged with pride as a master, but she forgot that if it wasn't for Xu Mingwei who remembered to tell her in the courtyard of Lady Ji, her big cake would probably still be on paper drawing, and wouldn't be real.
Xu Mingwei looked at the furnishings in Xu Minglan's room and saw that most of the good stuff had already been placed on the surface. The room had also been carefully cleaned and even the girls that served him had changed to their best clothes.
As she spoke, Xu Minglan would occasionally glance at her with a gaze of demonstration. Xu Mingwei only smiled back at her, not paying her any mind.
The group invited by the Lady Ji would only start acting in the afternoon, and since the stage was not ready yet, everyone was bored and could barely play a few rounds of cards. They could no longer sit still like Zhou Ranxing, and tilted their heads and said to Xu Mingmei and Xu Mingwei, "Although Sister Ming Lan's place is fun, I still want to go to the courtyard of the Sister Mei and sister Ming Wei to sit down. Who else wants to come with me?"
Xu Minglan's face changed slightly, she held back her laughter and said, "Since that's the case, we should take advantage of the time before lunch to visit my two younger sisters in their courtyard."
Fu Ninghui had originally been worried about Xu Minglan's face, so sshe did not bring up this issue. Seeing that someone had brought it up, he was overjoyed, pulled at Qiu Bai and Fu Quan, and said: "I always wanted to go to Seventh Sister's courtyard to take a look, to see how strange that crystal flower rack is. Seventh Sister, did you raise a big white cat?"
Xu Mingwei nodded and looked at Lian Qiu Bai worriedly. "Can Big Sister Qiu Bai touch a cat?"
Fu Ninghui had never mentioned what kind of sickness Lian Qiubai had, she only knew that she was lacking and that Xu Mingwei was afraid of asthma.
Fu Ninghui waved her hand and laughed, "Don't worry, your Big Sister Qiu Bai is only weak and easy to get chills, you can still touch cats."
Lian Qiu looked at Xu Mingwei gratefully, and said gently, "Seventh Sister is very meticulous, you still care about my body."
The Quan Ge'er had always been sneaking glances at Xu Mingwei ever since he entered the Xueju, and upon hearing her speak, she blinked her eyes and kept staring at Xu Mingwei, getting caught by Xu Mingmei who was at the side, and asked: "What is the Quan Ge'er looking at? Is there something wrong with my Seventh Sister's face? "
As he was young, everyone felt that he was an offense and could not help but laugh. Quan Ge'er laughed until his cheeks turned red.
"Quan Ge'er has always loved to look at beauties since she was young, and was even interested in his big brother for a long time without blinking. The last time I saw him, I kept nagging him and heard that I was going to play at her house, and was causing a ruckus all the time, but the Old Ancestor couldn't do anything about it and thus allowed the girls to come along with me."
Everyone finally understood that they were curious as to why the Fu Clan followed such a young man. Now that they heard Jing Xuan's explanation, they looked at Quan Ge'er and then at Xu Mingwei, and their smiles grew even more joyous.
Zhou Ranxing said, "Quan Ge'er has good eyes, in the future when she chooses his wife, she will definitely not run away."
She then went to comfort Quan Ge'er and pulled Xu Mingwei's hand. "Quan Ge'er, your favorite Seventh Sister is here, why is she still hiding?"
Seeing that he looked cute, Xu Mingwei said gently, "Don't be afraid Quan Ge'er, all of my sisters are laughing because they like you."
Fu Quan revealed half of her face from behind her sister. A pair of big eyes were misty, with thick and long eyelashes like two small fans. They were waving their hands, hesitating whether or not they should come out from behind Fu Ninghui.
In the end, Fu Ninghui used a bit of strength and directly pulled the person out from her back, and said somewhat embarrassedly to Xu Mingwei: "I have nothing to do, Seventh Sister has more to worry about."
Seeing that Quan Ge'er was so thin-skinned, everyone did not dare to tease him anymore. To the left and right of him was a younger brother who was much younger than them. Xu Mingwei smiled at the Quan Ge'er, then changed the topic and asked the group: "You guys have also not seen anyone who does not like cats, right? These days, snowball have been changing their fur, so wiping it three times a day in the house is not enough.
Zuo Youzhu exclaimed, "Where did all these cat hair come from? Could it be Baldy? "
Zhou Ranzhen, who came with Zhou Ranxing, joked, "Then we must go to Seventh Sister's courtyard to take a look and see if that cat has really become bald."
After saying that, she herself felt that she had said something very naughty, so she just kept laughing non-stop.
Xu Mingwei saw that she had a different personality from Zhou Ranxing. Even though she was older, she was even simpler than Zhou Ranxing.
Everyone had the thought of going to the moon-nesting s, but no one brought up the idea of going to Xu Mingmei's courtyard. Xu Mingmei heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Right now, his mother was pregnant, with so many people coming and going, it would be hard to say if there was a collision.
As they circled around Mirror Lake and entered the courtyard, they felt a sense of clarity. Unlike the ancient elegance of the fourth wife, the courtyard of the large house was more particular to the atmosphere and did not have many decorations. Fu Ninghui praised Xu Mingwei, "You did well in the courtyard! Does Seventh Sister know who drew the blueprint for this place? "
Xu Mingwei had never really noticed this problem before. Ever since she passed through, the main house had always been like this.
On the other hand, Xu Minglan laughed and replied, "According to what my mother said, in order to marry Aunt, Uncle personally drew a blueprint of the house and sent it to the Aunt's home, allowing the Aunt to handle the inner courtyard."
Xu Mingwei did not know that Xu Tiangang had such a romantic side to him, and was slightly taken aback. Yang Jinxi heard and sighed, "Aunt is truly wise and craftsmanship, and even managed the courtyard well."
Zhou Ranxing curled her lips, and thought to herself, just a simple lake, it was able to build a pavilion completely without any Tai Lake Stones. But everyone had agreed that Zhou Ranxing was not a good person to go against the rules, otherwise, wouldn't she be showing her lack of eyes!
After entering the moon-nesting, the courtyard that they entered from everywhere was filled with red sandalwood furniture. Looking at the grain, it seemed like it was around three hundred or two hundred years old, even the coffins were all red sandalwood.
Then, looking at the new items that Wan Rong and Xu Mingzhang had specially placed, they were all things that Xu Mingzhang and Xu Mingzhang had brought back from the outside. All sorts of strange things like Nan Yang's snuffling pots, agate carved mountains, ivory chess pieces, all of them were repeated. Perhaps the most eye-catching of them all was the large sailboat in the clear glass bottle.
Zuo Youlan stared at the Sailboat for a long time, unable to understand how the boat that was larger than a glass bottle was put in, and could not help but whisper to Zuo Youzhu, "Pearl, do you think this boat was built first, with half a bottle inside, and then the other half a bottle inside?"
Unexpectedly, Zuo Youzhu had already went around to the mouth of the bottle to take a look, and the one that was asked was Yang Jinxi.
Zuo Youlan had recognized the wrong person, and her face immediately flushed red. Yang Jinxi did not mind, she shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. Look at the bottle, it is completely bare and there are no seams on it. It obviously did not burn in succession."
It was also the first time Xu Minglan saw this in Xu Mingwei's room. Although she was feeling sour at the bottom of her heart, unable to endure the curiosity, she surrounded the glass bottle and studied it for a long time, unable to find any flaws. She anxiously scratched her heart and scratched her lungs, unable to put down her pride as she asked Xu Mingwei.
The Quan Ge'er was not shy anymore, after staring at the glass bottle for a while, she quietly went over to Xu Mingwei's side, tugging at her sleeves and asked: "Seventh Sister, how did you put the boat in?"
