The Lady Helan smiled and nodded, and said, "That's it. Did you clearly see how old the fallen girl is? What are you doing? "
After Xu Mingwei heard her question, she carefully recalled what she had seen this afternoon, "It looked a little bigger than Big Sister Ming Qiang. Although the dressing was done deliberately, I didn't see any nobility, and even the material used was sparse and ordinary. I don't know if the hairpin above my head fell into the water, but when it came out, it was naked …"
As she said this, she slowly began to have an answer in her heart.
The Lady Helan said slowly, "Don't blame your big sister Yang for looking unhappy. You've also been in the water yourself, when you can tell when you're really in the water and when you're not. "
Xu Mingwei now that she thought about it, that person did not seem to be in deep water. When she was saved by the young master of the Prefecture Duke Mansion, he did not even choke on water.
Xu Mingwei thought, it was no wonder that Yang Jinxi had such an expression back then.
Lady Helan might have thought of Xu Mingwei's future, so she caressed her little face and said, "Men who are born of various backgrounds, those are all as big as a piece of fat. Everyone wants to come up and take a bite. If mother remembers correctly, this second young master of the Prefecture Duke Mansion has not gotten married yet, she is most likely tied up by someone, and the main wife would definitely not be willing to go to the Ying Family. A concubine will definitely not be able to escape, and no one knows who will be the unlucky one in the future.
Xu Mingwei opened her black and white eyes and her face was hazy, as she did not know what Lady Helan was suffering for. In the eyes of the Lady Helan, her heart ached more and more. Her heart, flesh and blood would eventually marry into other people's homes to suffer these hardships. She couldn't resist it for a moment, and pulled Xu Mingwei into her embrace and hugged him tightly.
Xu Mingwei actually knew that it was best for him to not say a single word, because if she did not marry now, she would be sick and send him to the manor to live.
The Lady Helan and Xu Mingwei had just finished chatting that day, and not even two days had passed when the fourth wife received news that Xu Mingmo was going to make an engagement with the Prefecture Duke Mansion. Xu Mingwei's heart skipped a beat. When she arrived at Old Lady Xu's room to take a look, she was already certain of the outcome, it had already become a foregone conclusion.
For fourth wife to be stained with such a joyous event, even the old lady would have to use an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast. However, no one noticed the loneliness on Xu Mingqiang's face;
Only Xu Mingwei could not bear to see Xu Mingmo being fooled, so when no one was around, he told her everything she saw on the lake side of the Yang Mansion's birthday. Caught off guard, Xu Mingwei was pushed down to the ground by her huge force. While supporting herself on the ground with her palms, he suffered a large bruise.
"Everyone wishes to congratulate me. But why are you doing this to me? We are close sisters, and yet you are not happy for me. It is because you wish that I would not be able to live as well as your family?! " Xu Mingmo glared at her and without caring about Xu Mingwei who was looking at her in shock, she ran away.
Xu Mingwei's hands were burning in pain, her butt had probably fallen down too and she couldn't get up for a while. Just then, Xu Mingqiang appeared from behind. He carefully pulled her up from the ground, opened Xu Mingwei's palm and took a look, frowning as she sighed: "Seventh Sister, why do you have to go through all this trouble?"
Xu Mingwei's heart was in pain, she asked her: "Big sister, you heard it from behind?"
Xu Mingqiang nodded, he pulled on her wrist and was about to send her back to moon-nesting, "Being injured like this, if you can't write, and if you can't run away, why don't you rest at home and rest for a while. Even if I were to report it to the Master Fang for you later, you can't be blamed for it. "
Xu Mingwei did not expect that her good intentions would cause Xu Mingmo to treat her like a mule, and as she was disappointed, she heard Xu Mingqiang thanking her, "Seventh Sister is good as hell, this elder sister wants to thank you for thinking so highly of my sister. Your Second Sister doesn't understand anything, so don't bother with her. When you go out in the future, you will remember her. "
Lady Helan suddenly said in surprise when she saw Xu Mingqiang coming back, "Why are you back at this time? Isn't it at your grandmother's place? "
Xu Mingqiang then explained what had happened, the Lady Helan immediately ordered his wife to bring Xu Mingwei down to clean her wounds, and then conveniently allowed Xu Mingqiang to speak in her own room, asking about the details before thanking him, "It's all thanks to you looking at the situation from the side, if not for that, I'm afraid this little girl would not have dared to come back to see me."
Xu Mingqiang said warmly, "Aunt is too kind, the sisters taking care of each other is something that should be done."
The Lady Helan smiled as she pulled her over to have a closer look, and said, "In the blink of an eye, you have also grown so big, to the point of appearing so beautiful, does your mother have anyone that you think highly of?"
Xu Mingqiang's eyes reddened when she heard this, and said in a low voice, "Thank you Aunt for asking. "My mother didn't like matters of the secular world, so she started to look at him. I don't know which one she liked."
Lady Helan laughed, "You are a good child, if your mother is too busy, Aunt will help you pay attention.
When Xu Mingqiang mentioned about this matter to Lady Helan earlier, her face was already completely red, but after being asked about it in such a detailed manner by Lady Helan, she became even more embarrassed, so she threw down the words "but Aunt is in charge", and escaped. This made Lady Helan laugh, this child was too pitiful, with such a talent, even an unreliable mother would be helpless against him.
Not long after Xu Mingqiang left, the wife brought Xu Mingwei, who had finished treating her wounds, to see Lady Helan. The mother and daughter pair looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Xu Mingwei could no longer hold on.
Lady Helan turned over her arms and looked at her palm, then said sincerely, "It's not that Mother wants you to not be a good person, but there are some people that you can't be a good person. After spending so much time together, you still don't know what sort of temper your fourth aunt has? Your cousins are also very mother, looking at the outsider only good, looking at the family only bad. Be kind enough to remind her that she only thinks you are suffering from an eye disease, and see her walk away from the stilts with resentment in your heart. "
Xu Mingwei leaned into Lady Helan's embrace, her two hands wrapped around her neck as she said tenderly, "Mother, Wei'er knows her wrongs and will not offend you next time."
Lady Helan used her fingers as a comb and helped Xu Mingwei run her hands through her hair as she said indifferently, "Just remember this time. Did you get the ointment applied to your hand by the injured mama? Don't leave any scars. Mother knows that you don't care about all these. For a lady like her, face is the most important thing, and your big brother has spent so much effort to search for her, don't disappoint his good intentions. "
Xu Mingwei nodded in agreement, then asked, "Mother, did you agree to let big sister see you?"
"Well, it just so happens that your uncle wrote a letter a few days ago. There is a family that is familiar with each other, and they entrusted him to see a marriage in the capital. He is indeed a suitable candidate." The Lady Helan did not blame Xu Mingwei for being too nosy, as she explained, "The ancestors were from Fuling County, and the man had just turned fifteen today. Although he is not considered to be any distinguished person, my father is now a third rank official, and is also a well-behaved family. My family is rich, and Mother does not seem to be bad at all, if I were to mention it to your third aunt another day, it would all depend on their own intentions."
Xu Mingwei was speechless in her heart, from the third stage of the official body, Lady Helan would say that it was not big, no matter what, it was equivalent to a vice division position. Even Father Xu Mingwei, who had muddled along for so many years and was under the influence of her ancestors, had only gotten herself to the third rank.
Seeing her expression, Lady Helan knew what she was thinking, and laughed, "How can a rank 3 be compared to an official of the capital? This place has a lot of knowledge, you will know about it in the future."
Xu Mingwei thus did not ask anymore. She didn't worry about the following days of telling Xu Mingqiang about marriage, she just stayed in the moon-nesting and read books and listen to the words, while also urging the little girls in the courtyard to read and read. At the end of May, Lady Helan finally released her ban and went to school for less than two days. According to the people in the palace, Eldest Princess was about to start school again.
Lady Helan reluctantly sent her daughter to the palace. Before getting on the carriage, she had even instructed Xu Mingwei to treat some injuries, so as to prevent her from showing off in the academy. She also said that she would, but on the contrary, show some stupidity.
Lady Helan didn't seem to notice the contradictions between these two sentences. Xu Mingwei could only agree with both of them, at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. Actually, her hand had already recovered long ago. Even after smearing the ointment on such a large piece of flesh and skin, not a single trace was left behind. No wonder the market price was so expensive.
After entering the palace, Xu Mingwei felt that the Lady Helan was overthinking things. It was probably due to the influence of Eldest Princess's last escape from the palace, that a few girls had more or less been implicated. The restricted steps, as well as the scriptures of the scriptures were all restrained to the point of being extremely honest. Even the two masters, Fang Liang, felt that these female students were unusually obedient and weren't used to it.
They originally thought that this kind of good feeling was only temporary, but after a long time, everyone's mood returned to normal. They did not want to enter June and walked for the seventh month. In the eighth month of the summer vacation, the group of female students, including Eldest Princess, were all the same.
Students are more naughty, the two gentlemen have a headache, too obedient, the two gentlemen have a heartache. After that, he couldn't help but report back to the empress once more. The higher-ups fell silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh. "That's good as well. Just let her be."
The two masters looked at each other. They knew that the pressure was too great. Born into the royal family, he should not be like this. Perhaps it wasn't a bad thing for him to be a bit depressed and a bit depressed.
