C57 As you wish (1)

Fu Ninghui turned her head to look after hearing the voice. Damn, he called her Big Sister Qi so quickly.

"Oh, I think I heard my fourth brother mention this before. If it wasn't for you guys, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a thing here." Xu Mingwei said with a smile.

"This was also brought back by a merchant ship from Nan Yang, there are very few craftsmen who can make this outside. First, they burn the bottle, then they clip the parts of the sails and ship model, sending them one by one into the mouth of the bottle."

"I've read about this in the books. There's a place called Germanic which is most adept at doing this."

When Xu Mingwei heard her, she immediately perked up. Wasn't the Germanan she was talking about the previous self of Germany in his previous life? She hurriedly asked Lian Qiubai, "Did Sister Qiu Bai read about it in that book?"

Lian Qiubai thought back carefully, "It seems to be a miscellaneous book that Uncle brought back. I'll look for it and have someone deliver it to you when I find it."

Xu Mingwei was not particularly anxious about this, even if she found out whether Germane was the original Germany or not, she was still trapped here. She nodded her head, "Then I'll have to trouble Big Sister Qiu Bai."

Looking down and seeing that both of Fu Quan's eyes were still glued onto the glass bottle, she could not help but smile, and took the bottle off the shelf, allowing Wan Rong to hold onto a bowl of water. She actually drank it in front of everyone, causing Yang Jinxi and the rest to be unable to resist and exclaim out loud, "Don't damage it."

Xu Mingwei laughed and let go of the glass bottle. Because the bottle was filled with water, the boat floated along with the waves, Quan Ge'er suddenly pointed at the bottle and bellowed, "Look, there are still people floating in the water!"

Everyone focused their eyes and sure enough, a lot of little people fell out of the boat. In their hands were floating things like a wooden board. When they looked closer, even the expressions on their faces were different.

"What a coincidence!" Even Lian Qiubai, who had read about this glazed boat in the past, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the crew members who escaped into the water.

Seeing that he really liked them, Xu Mingwei gave Wan Rou a look. The latter knew that once the girls had seen enough, they would move to the next place, and would empty the bottle with Wan Ting. After that, Xu Mingwei filled the embroidered box and sent it to the Fu Family's carriage.

Everyone had seen some strange things in Xu Mingwei's room, and knew that all the good stuff that Nan Yang brought were collected by her two big brothers who were outside, they couldn't help but exclaim at Xu Mingwei's good fortune.

It was unknown if the snowball hid when it heard the noise, but Xu Mingwei looked around the courtyard but it did not see a trace of the snowball. She could only apologetically say to Lian Qiubai and the others who came for the snowball, "Normally, it would sleep near here, but I don't know where it went to play today, I can't see its shadow."

Lian Qiubai shook his head and smiled. "Cats are used to freedom. Let it be."

Fu Ninghui was about to look at the crystal flower rack in the courtyard. When the other girls saw that they were going out, they followed along, chattering non-stop along the way. It had been a while since moon-nesting had been so lively.

Wan Rong and Wan Ting looked at each other, then pulled Wan Yi and Wan Rou over, allowing the little girls to quickly pack up the pots. They sent over the books and other things for the girls to amuse themselves, and then split up and went to the large kitchen to get some convenience as well as some fresh melon fruits.

When Nanny Xu received the order, she did not make things difficult for them. Soon after, she served the glutinous rice flour and green bean powder and rose cakes, each was as big as a fingernail and had a cool and creamy taste. It was perfect for girls to eat when they were playing.

Wan Ting smiled and looked at her, "Grandma is being thoughtful."

Nanny Xu laughed lightly, "It is this old servant's fortune that the masters are eating well."

Wan Rong also returned with the fruit platter, so she did not bother to talk to Nanny Xu anymore, and went along with Wan Rong.

Nanny Xu watched them from behind for a long time. When the little girl in the kitchen called out to them, she finally snapped back into reality and walked away while laughing and sighing.

In the courtyard of the house on the other side, Xu Mingwei and the others were already under the crystal flower rack. Originally, everyone thought that it was just a small flower rack, but when they arrived at the place, they realised how wrong they were. Along the wall, the crystal flower racks were piled up in long piles. They were covered with pink petals, and underneath them were climbing vines of all colors. Thick, light, green, and pink.

Zhou Ranxing thought, good boy, how much silver does it cost?

Fu Ninghui thought that the Xu family was indeed rich.

Zuo Youzhu and Zuo Youlan only felt that their eyes were not enough to see anymore, especially when the wind blew past, causing flowers to bloom on the branches and petals to rain down.

Xu Mingwei was afraid that she would be tired from training, so she helped her rest on the soft couch.

Fu Ninghui was thankful for her meticulous actions, and joked around: "If an outsider saw it, they would not know which one of us is her cousin."

Xu Mingwei replied, "Even if it's our family's guests, of course we have to take good care of them."

Just as they were talking, Wan Yi and Wan Rou had already brought over the carpet, and laid it flat under the crystal flower rack along with the servants. They also put in different colored praying mats, making it convenient for everyone to sit and take it.

Yang Jinxi was the first one to sit on the blanket, it was thick and warm, completely at ease. She could not help but sigh, "Sitting on the ground with a head of petals, with such beautiful scenery, I'm just short of a pot of good wine."

Other than the two from the Zhou family who did not know the secret, the rest of them remembered the incident where she had gotten drunk in the Fu family and burst into laughter. "Hahahahaha!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

Wan Rong and Wan Ting came at the right time, and immediately placed the fruit plate and dim sum plate they had brought over on the short table. Xu Minglan and the others were currently surrounding the pot, and upon seeing that the dim sum plate was not for their family to eat, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What is this made of? The color looks really good." Zhou Ran Zhen went up to look, and without waiting for Xu Mingwei and the rest's reply, she casually picked one and put it in her mouth to taste it.

"It smells so good, right? It's made from glutinous rice, but it doesn't look like it."

Yang Jinxi was the most tasty one, she also tasted one and said, "Yes there's glutinous rice flour, there's green bean flour, and only some honey that wasn't sweetened, and there's also something that I don't know, it seems like there's a flower petal on it."

She raised the corner of her eyes and saw the rose flowers that were rustling as they fell. She smiled and praised Xu Mingwei, "Using flowers as food, the house's chef is so elegant."

Xu Mingwei glanced at Wan Ting, and she knew that it was from Nanny Xu, and smiled: "Scoundrel, try some tricks, it will suit everyone's taste."

Xu Minglan glanced at Xu Mingwei resentfully, but she turned her head and did not say a word. From start to finish, she had not taken a single one from the plate.

Xu Mingwei sighed in her heart, as a Fifth Sister, although she was a direct descendant, her attitude was not magnanimous enough. It was obvious that she was the one who brought everyone to her house to be guests in the palace, but when they actually went to Xu Mingwei's courtyard to play, she found it difficult to talk to him since she found it difficult to steal her limelight.

She understood the principles behind the Master Fang's teachings, but it was way too difficult to carry them out.

Fu Ninghui could see that Xu Minglan was not pleased with herself and smiled at Xu Mingwei before pulling him over, allowing the girls to escape quickly. She, Xu Minglan and Xu Mingwei were playing at the same table, taking turns to draw the pointers, and losing the last card. Because the rules were simple, and victory was decided quickly, Xu Minglan was quickly attracted all her attention, and she no longer had time to hate Xu Mingwei.

Lian Qiu Bai and Xu Mingmei who were watching from the side were completely engrossed, and could not help but feel itchy in their hands. They also dragged Zuo Youzhu to gather people, and quickly made a table for them to escape from. Those who had won the draw were all overjoyed, and those who had escaped from the singles were also extremely happy. The commotion was so loud that those who had escaped from the singles were unable to continue playing, so they gathered around to watch the show.

Wan Rong and the others who were at the side watched as they passed over the teacups. Seeing that everyone was having fun, they smiled at each other.

Before they had even played three rounds, someone from Lady Ji had already come to invite them to the Lakeheart Pavilion for lunch.

Xu Minglan was shocked, she never thought that the Lady Ji would arrange for a lunch to be held there. Luckily, when everyone had rowed to the lake, they had all been focused on looking at the sharp lotus leaves on the lake surface, and had paid attention to the expressions of the Xu sisters.

Even though it was called the Lakeheart Pavilion, it was actually half an island. Once the group disembarked, a maidservant would occasionally lead them to the pavilion, and sure enough, they had already laid out a thick woolen blanket and set up a few tables.

Looking at the trays and plates used by the maidservants to serve the dishes, they were all imitating the way they used to be. They looked really fresh and unique.

Fu Ninghui laughed, "Today's visit to Sister Xu's house was right, we also took off our shoes and sat on the ground like the ancients, it was truly interesting."

Xu Mingmei was initially a little worried on the way here, but after seeing that everyone was eager to give it a try, and feeling happy for her mother, she finally earned some face at home.

Everyone's thoughts for this lunch were not on the quality of the dishes, but rather on the fun. Adding the fruits and snacks they had eaten in Xu Minglan and Xu Mingwei's courtyard, they were not hungry either.
