C74 Xu Mingzhu's intention to marry

Xu Mingwei curled her lips in disapproval and said, "Didn't I say that when I was in your room? Honestly, when are you going to take care of her?"

"If she wants to be arrogant, just do so. Don't care about her, watch that little thing leave the house and see how the old lady will take care of her."

Seeing that Xu Mingwei's eyes were filled with confusion, the Lady Helan explained gently, "Look at the news that everyone in the courtyard has been spread, how could the old lady not know? If he didn't move her now, it was because he was afraid that she would run into bad luck. You need to remember that when your mother holds it down, it's not because she's afraid of her, but because she hasn't gone overboard. "What the hell is your concubine? Your father went out the door, but your mother sold her off. Do you think your father would say one more word? Do you think the old lady will give mother a hard time?"

"Not long after your mother first conceived your big brother, that thing started giving birth in the woodshed, shouting at the top of its lungs. Just based on this point, your father and your grandmother haven't dared to say a word of no to me for so many years, and this is something that the Xu family owes me. Why did mother have to send such a living account book away?

Xu Mingwei nodded her head, and said with a face full of seriousness: "Daughter will remember, Mother is taking a step back to advance, to support and kill that old fellow."

Lady Helan nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. Mother has found a good home for that little thing, and I'll tell you about it. "

Xu Mingwei was curious, but because Xu Tian Di was not out yet, she was afraid that he would ask too much and reveal some information, so she endured it. Now that the Lady Helan took the initiative to mention it, she was naturally very interested.

"In that family, the parents were all people, but the son was almost thirty, yet he did not have any official status. Just why do you think that when he was studying in the academy, he caused an ugly incident in order to embarrass his roommates? Later on, even though he used silver coins to settle the case, the mountain chief was very backbone, and refused to write a recommendation letter for him no matter what, so he could not even take part in the country exams. He has been relying on his family to keep him alive." His temper was also bad. The first one had been beaten to death by him. Because his family was rich and his father was a government official, he forcefully suppressed his anger and only lost a few hundred taels of silver. The family of three in front of him can't do anything about it either. The grandson and the granddaughter are both at that family's residence, so they're willing to let it go easily. "

It turned out to be a two-way plug, and also a violent family. It really wasn't easy for the Lady Helan to find such a family.

Xu Mingwei was suspicious, "How does Mother know about this family? Even though they caused two deaths, no one took care of it?"

The Lady Helan said, "For officials to protect each other, it has always been the case. It is nothing new. "This matter is too far away. Even your father doesn't know much about the inner force. Mother entrusted your grandfather with this matter and only picked him after watching several families."

From the moment Xu Mingwei was born, she had frequently heard the Lady Helan mentioning her grandfather, He Lanboxin, but she had never seen it before. Whenever Lady Helan talked about her family, a nostalgic look would appear on her face.

"The Xu Clan's garden isn't even considered a proper garden. Only your grandfather's house has a good garden." Lady Helan had told her before, which made Xu Mingwei even more curious about what she was saying to the outside world.

It was just that Xu Mingwei never dared to bring up her outer sect in front of Lady Helan, so as to avoid arousing her worries. However, she couldn't help but wonder if she still had the chance to see with her own eyes the's eight hundred miles of sea of clouds, the four hundred kilometers of mountains as a pillow, and the four hundred miles of grasslands as a seat for the He Lan family.

The mother and daughter duo were whispering in the house, but Xu Tiangang unexpectedly returned home early. Nanny Xue did not dare to remind them, so he only paid his respects, and reckoned that the inside of the house was alarmed, and followed Xu Tiangang into the house nervously.

Xu Mingwei was lying on top of Lady Helan's legs and just as she was about to stand up and greet him, Xu Tiangang stopped him. She walked over and picked her up from Lady Helan's embrace.

"Daddy's little cotton-padded jacket, it's almost winter. It must be filled with cotton, it must have become a lot heavier."

Xu Tiangang laughed as he thought about her weight.

"Hurry up and let your daughter down. Don't you see that this little girl is almost frowning? It's not like you don't know her strange condition and are annoyed that people would hug her like this." Lady Helan laughed as she stood up to block her way.

Xu Tiangang tilted his head to look, and saw that the little girl in his arms was frowning, as if he owed her a lot of silver.

"Look what Daddy brought you today." Xu Tiangang did not let her go, instead he carried Xu Mingwei and sat down by the table, and took out a Night Pearl from his sleeve.

Xu Mingwei didn't realize it at first, but after receiving it, she felt it to be heavy. It was also the size of a tofu ball, and it wasn't moist like a pearl. Instead, it was a little rough.

"You little miser, only in this way can you coax me into hugging you for a moment." Xu Tiangang turned and said to the Lady Helan, "With such a personality, I don't know if it's like you, or me."

Lady Helan recognized it and laughed, "How did you get this thing, you must have spent a lot of silver, right?"

Seeing Xu Mingwei raise her eyes curiously, Lady Helan told him about the origins of this Luminous Pearl.

In the legends, the Night Pearl was said to be the son of the Pinghe Dragon King. Only after ten thousand years would the dragon be able to grow inside the shell, which corresponded to twenty-four knots of qi. Within the shell, there were twenty-four ribs, and within each rib, there was a single Night Pearl that only the astute could recognize. The dragon had not yet grown to ten thousand years of age, so even if it was flayed, it could not find the pearl. Only when it had become a shell, could it find it.

Xu Mingwei did not believe that there was a dragon in this world. She pretended to be naive and asked the Lady Helan and Xu Tiangang, "Father, mother, are there really dragons in this world?"

Xu Tiangang was still waiting to coax her, before he smiled and said, "Of course there is, otherwise where did the Night Pearls come from?"

Xu Mingwei ignored him and hid the bead inside his bag, saying, "What Daddy gave to me, is mine now."

Xu Tiangang happily laughed again, he hugged and kissed her face a few times, only then was he willing to let his go.

"Both with you. And keep it well, let the girl in the room change the lamp rack, do not have to smoke my little darling. "You should go out and play. Father still has things to discuss with your mother."

She had heard of the stories the Lady Helan had told. She had picked up a piece of the tortoise shell from a boat that was like trash, going to an island and selling it for 50,000 taels of silver or 30,000 taels of silver, only to find out later that there were many Night Pearls hidden inside, each of them being worth 50,000 taels of silver. This showed just how precious it was. As for where this bead had come from, it would be the same even if he asked the Lady Helan about it after Xu Tiangang left.

Although Night Pearls were rare, they were not rare goods in the He Lan family. Since childhood, there had been a few lights in Lady Helan's rooms, but when they were married, their families did not allow them to come, so they knew that there were very few of these beads in the north, and they were only used by the imperial family.

So when Xu Mingwei left, the Lady Helan turned and asked Xu Tiangang, "Where did the beads come from, can you tell me where they came from?"

Xu Tiangang hugged her into his arms, and laughed: "Who do you think gave it to you? Today, when I met the Duke of the Prefecture Duke Mansion outside the palace, he invited me to visit her mansion. After three rounds of drinking, he sent someone to invite the young duke out to see a guest. On the way out, the housekeeper gave them to the two of you, as well as a floral post. In the future, you and your mother will be invited to visit the mansion and enjoy the chrysanthemum. Thinking about it, that Prefecture Duke Mansion should have the intention of looking at our Wei'er in a different light. "

Xu Tiangang was being conservative with his words, he had tried to guess the meaning of the Marquis' words, the marriage should not be too far off, it was just that he was sure that his mistress, Lady Helan, would say the exact words.

The Lady Helan was a little suspicious, and asked, "Our family doesn't have much contact with the Prefecture Duke Mansion, why would we suddenly come and get married? I have heard of that young prefecture lord before. He should be twelve years old this year, right?

Xu Tiangang said, "Being seven is not that much, only older would know how to love someone."

The Lady Helan spat out, "In a few years, the young prefecture lord will add someone else to his room, and you can make him wait for you at home. Don't just go through the door, you already have several people holding hands waiting for you! The pain I have suffered, I dare not let my heart go to taste it! "

Xu Tiangang accidentally poked Hornet's Nest again, and naturally, he had to put in a lot of effort to coax Lady Helan. Finally, he persuaded her to nod his head and bring Xu Mingwei to Prefecture Duke Mansion to admire the flowers after tomorrow.

Xu Mingwei was still in the dark. Early in the morning on the second day, when she was coincidentally sleeping, he was dug out of bed and dressed up well. She thought that her family had some important holiday to see guests, and only knew that she was going out when she saw Lady Helan.

Lady Helan was also afraid that she would be scared, and did not say it clearly, she only treated it as ordinary socializing with Xu Mingwei, calling out to him when she sees him, and her mouth was sweet. This was Lady Helan's usual excuse, so Xu Mingwei did not mind it much. She sat on the horse carriage and yawned, thinking that chrysanthemums were not something that could be found at home, rather, there were some that looked good, and some of them even went to other people's houses early in the morning to join in the fun.

Seeing that she was frowning and smiling so tiredly, Lady Helan also laughed in his heart. He couldn't love her anymore, so he pulled her into his embrace and said softly, "I still have some ways to go. If I'm really tired, I'll just stay in my mother's embrace for a while, until Mother calls you."

Xu Mingwei was not afraid of slanting her hair at all today. After lying down and taking a nap, the carriage jolted, completely mesmerizing.

When the carriage arrived at the side door of Prefecture Duke Mansion, Lady Helan called out to them. As she was sleeping soundly, Xu Mingwei's cheeks were flushed red, making her look even more exquisite and cute, causing County Princess, who went out to welcome her, to be extremely happy. As expected, it was reported by her subordinate, that the seven girls of the Xu family was exactly the same as the one that came down from the sky.
