The next morning, the two families met again in the hall. Lady Wang affectionately pulled Lady Helan over to sit together with them, and the two families' children were also familiar with each other as they played together. Fu Heng had learnt his lesson yesterday, and didn't want to anger his mother. In the morning, he sat obediently at Lady Wang's seat. Quan Ge'er was hugged tightly by Lady Wang, and as a result, only Fu Ninghui remained by Fu Heng's side. Originally, she wanted to pull Xu Mingwei to a seat, but somehow the person she was holding became Xu Minglan, so it was not easy to push him away. Thus, she could only talk to Xu Mingmei through Xu Minglan.
It wasn't that Fu Ninghui had it in mind, it was just passing the words to Xu Minglan a few times, but the other party was obviously not paying attention at all, and did not respond to her at all. After doing this a few times, Fu Ninghui could no longer be bothered with her. She went around Xu Minglan and Xu Mingmei and joked around.
Lady Wang had not noticed the change in her children's situation until Little Sharmie sent some porridge and food to them. While she was speaking with Lady Helan, she occasionally glanced in Fu Ninghui's direction. This look was not tight, she saw that Xu Minglan was staring at her family's Heng Ge'er in a daze, and immediately became like a war drum in her heart, and shouted Not good. How did this little devil of her end up getting provoked with such a debaucherous case?!
At this moment, Lady Wang forcefully suppressed the waves of shock in her heart and calmly stole a closer look. What made her feel at ease was that Heng Ge'er seemed to not have noticed anything, and that he did not have any feelings for the girls of the Xu Family. Other than looking at the seven girls of the Xu Family, he had also not cared about eating and drinking porridge. Since it was like this, the Wang Family could temporarily be sure of it. Only the Xu five girls was secretly watching Heng Ge'er, fortunately, he did not cause any big trouble.
Lady Wang then looked at Xu Minglan, although her appearance was much worse than seven girls, just by looking at her appearance she was not bad, just that her eyebrows were not generous enough, her eyes were unsteady, she did not have any big ideas. He sighed in his heart. He was indeed short on a room, so he was lacking by a lot, and was even more determined to help Fu Heng talk about a bed room.
Lady Helan also noticed Xu Minglan's change in expression and frowned slightly. She never expected that at Xu Minglan's age, she would already be paying attention to the male outsider, afraid that she would continue to reveal an ugly expression in front of Lady Wang, and intentionally made Xu Mingwei sit next to him. She smiled at Lady Wang, "I saw you in a hurry yesterday, and did not let Wei'er greet you properly."
Xu Mingwei didn't know why Lady Helan had suddenly called him over, but hearing her say this, she felt that it was natural to cooperate.
Lady Wang looked at her carefully, and saw that she had not rested properly for the entire night. This seven girls of the Xu family was dressed in a jade colored robe, with the same dark pattern embroidery dress underneath, with only a few small pieces at the bottom, revealing a bit of her white neck. It was even more lustrous than the jade color of her brocade, and it was said in the books that she was a person made of jade.
Although the Lady Helan was beautiful, it already gave off the charm of a woman. How could she compare to her?
The more Lady Wang saw, the more she felt reluctant and happy. She pulled Xu Mingwei's hand and looked at him closely, praising him non-stop, "Last night, I didn't have the time to look carefully, I already felt that Ling Xiu was abnormal. Now I can see it for myself.
At that moment, Lady Wang's mind drifted away, thinking that the two sons of the Lady Helan must also be extraordinary. She only had these three sons and one daughter, and Quan Ge'er did not know what would happen in the future. But her two eldest sons made her worry even more, and compared to her only daughter, she could be considered the best child in the world. She was considerate and obedient, and was already able to help out a lot at such a young age.
Seeing that Lady Wang had really split her attention, Lady Helan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Since they had already paid their respects to the Wang Clan, it was not good for Xu Mingwei to not thank the Fu Clan's Heng Ge'er.
However, Xu Mingwei sincerely wanted to thank him. She bowed and said, "Thanks to big brother for saving me, Mingwei is unable to repay you, but your gratitude is in your heart."
His impression of Xu Mingwei wasn't that bad either. Last time he came here to provoke him, it was only because Xu Mingwei looked at him with contempt first. Now that she was thanking him sincerely, Fu Heng felt embarrassed and quickly cupped his hands to let her go, "It's not something that's worth mentioning over and over again, anyone that meets me will come to my rescue, I just happened to stumble upon it. Seventh Sister, please stop being so courteous, you have to scold me. "
The two families couldn't help but laugh as they looked at the young couple in front of them. Mrs Wang sighed in her heart. How come she's not that old? She's still seven years younger than me, so it's a waste for these two children to stand together and watch.
The Lady Helan did not think much about it. Although Fu Heng looked to be not bad, the arrogance on his face could not be hidden, as he was still young, even if he was older he might still be a dragon or phoenix amongst men. It was just that his personality was too strong, perhaps there would be no one that he could control him, and it was not the choice of a good son-in-law.
Xu Minglan looked at the dazzling pair in front of him, and the handkerchief in her hand unconsciously twisted and turned. It was only after being entangled that she realized the truth, and her expression darkened as she lowered her eyes. It was Xu Mingwei again, why did she have to be the one to get everything? Anything she liked, he had taught her to snatch it!
Fu Ninghui could see through it and was shocked. It was not because of the few girls that came to play last time and met their big brother along the way, that caused this kind of thing, right? She definitely could not let Xu Minglan see her big brother again in the future. If something ugly were to happen, both families would lose face.
On this table, there was only the Lady Ji and her daughter, as well as the Quan Ge'er in Lady Wang's embrace who were eating candy and buns, who were all ignorant. Even Fu Heng, who was completely indifferent to girls, had a thoughtful look at Xu Minglan.
The group of people ate their fast food without knowing what to eat. After hurriedly getting used to it, the two families packed up their carriages and horses before bidding their farewells in front of the mountain gate.
Before they left, Lady Wang intentionally pulled Xu Mingwei's hand and smiled amiably, "Since you and Ning Hui are so close, you should come over often to play, and be our companion in the future."
Xu Minglan felt even more depressed when she heard her. They were both daughters of the Xu Family, yet Fu Heng's mother had told him this herself. It was clear that she was not very welcome.
Lady Helan was holding a handkerchief to cover the dust raised by the carriage, hearing this she also laughed, "Then I'll see you tomorrow."
The two families would not mention it when they returned to their own residences.
The Lady Helan did not care about Xu Minglan anymore, the Wang Family on the left and right were already on their guard, people from the fourth wife, wait for the Lady Liang to return, then teach them themselves.
On the second day, Lady Helan brought Xu Mingwei along with him to carry out some important gifts to the Fu Family. However, she did not see Fu Heng this time around.
"He was most probably together with his friends, the second young master of Uncle Ning's Mansion, the young prefecture lord, and someone else called Qin Jianrui. "If not for the fact that he was doing pretty well in class, his father would have broken his leg long ago."
If a descendant like the Fu Clan was truly so unfilial, they would have been taken care of long ago. "Lady Helan smiled apologetically," A son cannot be compared to his daughter. I believe your studies are also excellent. Otherwise, how could the teacher in the academy let you off so easily? "
The words of the Lady Helan struck a deep chord in Lady Wang's heart and she said proudly, "That's true. That Brother Ming is such a great person. Even when he's nestling in the yard studying, he couldn't learn even half a thing from his big brother. How can he be like you, who has a pair of good children. Listening to Heng Ge'er, your family's Mingbai has studied very well, she should be coming out next year, right? "
Lady Helan didn't know why she suddenly mentioned Xu Mingbai, but she replied him, "Next year is when we reach the stage. It's just that the few of them feel that it's better to wait for another year, before making up their minds again."
"That's good as well. After next year, Ming Bai will also be fifteen, right? I vaguely remember that Heng Ge'er is three years older than me, so which family's daughter is he talking about?"
"Lady Helan then told me about Xu Mingbai and Miss Uncle Ning's Mansion's engagement, and sighed," I've only seen that child a few times when she was young, she was quite quiet. Even after all these years, I don't know how she's been doing since she didn't bring me out to meet guests. There's no other choice for this arranged marriage. I can only hope that Ming Bai will step down and take the title of the next year. When they become a small family, the husband and wife will be fine. "
When Lady Wang heard this, she was spirited and asked, "Why is there such a saying in the middle of things? You've never heard the Uncle Ning's Mansion's wife talk about it? "
The Lady Helan laughed, "Originally, it was just a joke from the elders of the two families, but after that, it is true. No matter how Uncle Ning's Mansion's wife thinks, she has not seen it for the past few years."
Lady Wang also laughed and sighed. "That's right. It's strange to talk about such mundane, elegant people."
The Uncle Ning's Mansion and the Lady Wang spoke of as the official wife of the current Marquis Ning. Mo Ru was the great-granddaughter of the previous generation's Grand Scholar, unlike the Xu family's three rooms, who had always been a vassal to Mu Rong, the Mo family was truly an elegant scholar that did not care about the world. Just that hand of wild grass, elegant and unrestrained, the outside gold is hard to come by, the literati treated as a supreme ink treasure.
