The three young ladies of the Ying Family however, held her book and read it again and again, praising, "Seventh Sister's two lines are very elegant, they have a lingering charm to them."
How could Xu Mingwei just say that she made it herself? She said embarrassedly, "I did not make it, it was something that was written in a book.
The young girl from the Yang family laughed, "Seventh Sister is young, it's only right for her to put in some water. Besides, it's not easy to memorize Ying Jing's words with hard work.
The other girls also nodded in agreement and let her go. Xu Mingwei secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and it would be easy to play again. While they were enjoying the fun, they suddenly heard an old woman coming to invite them. She said that the flower feast in the garden had already been prepared, so they invited the young ladies over.
Xu Mingwei followed the few young ladies and went to the lower left wing where Lady Helan was already seated. Seeing her, she smiled and waved for her to come sit.
From time to time, a feast would be held, and a few delicate cold dishes would be served. There were live drunk prawns and jadeite ducks, and although they didn't use the flowers as ingredients, one could tell that they used chrysanthemums as supplementary ingredients. The steamed crab on the back had gold, jade, silver, and silver spoons. It was an elegant chrysanthemum feast made from the petals.
Everyone praised this banquet as extremely interesting. As the owners, who were used to socializing with each other, came and went, making it extremely lively. After the banquet had ended, the ladies and ladies of each house began to return home.
Although Lady Helan had not seen the young prefecture lord, she was very satisfied with the marriage. When a woman marries, she wants a good mother-in-law on top, while her husband's failure is secondary. If this woman was not good, then she would be hard to get along with. Once a man left home, as his wife, there would be no justice even if he wasted his life. As such, he already had a plan in his heart. He sat at home and waited for the Prefecture Duke Mansion to come knocking.
As for the Prefecture Duke Mansion, he said to the Second Branch Xu, "Looking at the Xu Family's seven girls today, it is indeed as you said, a good child. Even though he's still a bit young, it's not like Xiao Ge'er couldn't wait. He decided to first study for a few years, then get married later. "
The Xu family agreed, "That's right." Sigh, it was also my family's bad luck that caused this incident in the Yang family. Although Dr. Yang was a very reasonable person, she did not say that she wanted to get her hands on that dishonorable thing. She was also kept in the dark and had been unjustly reprimanded. She was truly unjustly accused. I also had the same thoughts as my sister-in-law. I wanted Fei'er to first obtain a title for her studies, so that she wouldn't let others know that he relied on only a bad name and that he didn't know how to advance. As long as his mother-in-law doesn't mind, my family can also afford to wait for him. Who would have thought that he would cause such a disgrace to appear in the middle of the journey and cause such a mess outside? He can only allow his position as concubine to appear, waiting for the second young lady of the Xu family to pass through the door before sending someone back with a palanquin. At that time, we will naturally have to take care of her.
County Princess snorted, "What your family, even if you marry them, they will still be ours!"
Mrs Xu clapped, "Aiyo, I was wrong. Of course it's our family."
The two sister-in-law laughed for a long time, then they heard County Princess say, "People say that looking at old age at three years old, is indeed reasonable. I think that Xiao Ge'er looks at the Fu family's young mistress in a different light, but unfortunately, a family like the Fu family's daughter doesn't have very strict upbringing, and her character is still a little shallow. According to Second Sister, the Fu family's members lost some of their dignity after hearing her draw a floral card. "For example, the Xu family is very good. If they can't do it, then they can't. If they stole the book, it would be clear that they won't be deceived. At the age of five, it's really rare to have such a temperament."
Mrs Xu smiled, "Sister-in-law, please don't covet me anymore. Such a good family has such a beautiful appearance. However, from the looks of the two brothers her mother gave birth to, we know that both of them will have good looks in the future. It would be great if we could put them at home and let Xiao Ge'er get lucky."
The County Princess and the Xu family's thoughts became even more resolute, and explained it to all the other people that wanted to return home, the Xu family was also that kind of family, one elder, one bachelor, one assistant minister, the Lady Helan being of noble background, there was nothing bad about it, thus the deal was set, one day, he sent a trusted wife to his side, the Xu family came to ask for Xu Mingwei's birthday, one for Ying Zixiao, one for Crooked Mirror Temple, the other for a monk to see if the two of them were compatible.
However, in just a few days, that monk had already sent a message. Xu Mingwei's eight words along with Ying Zixiao's, was the result of him being an enemy for ten lifetimes. This was not only confused by the Prefecture Duke Mansion, even the Lady Helan and Xu Tiangang were greatly puzzled by this.
It was no wonder that both sides were stopped in their tracks. Ordinary people would only take advantage of the auspicious situation when they were invited to an invitation, so it was rare to hear of an invitation that didn't match. It was one thing if they didn't have the same relationship, but to think that they even had a grudge of ten lifetimes. How could they not be suspicious?
The County Princess was afraid that someone was secretly playing tricks on them, and after getting his wife to send him an invitation, they all said the same things, and gradually believed it. Although he was reluctant to part with them, he knew that it would be difficult to get them to work together. Therefore, he had to apologize to the Xu family personally, and the matter between the two families could be resolved.
Lady Helan knew that she could not blame anyone for this matter, but she was feeling depressed in her heart. Fortunately, the two families did not reveal this matter, and not many people knew of it. At least, Xu Mingwei's reputation was safe.
Xu Mingwei did not know the entire story, but she still lived a happy life. She learned how to play with the Eldest Princess and the others, while she played with the cat at home and read books. In the blink of an eye, the man from the West Branch also left the house and was blown away by the man. Aunt Xiang received a lot of silver coins for free and was so happy that he stayed home for a few days while he kept count of gifts in his room.
Ever since Xu Tiandi had gotten married, Xu Mingwei had been craning her neck in anticipation of the West Branch's misfortune. It was unknown whether it was because the Old Master Xu was too overbearing or because of Xu Tiedi's joy in leaving, but she had gradually gotten better. Her body was even more robust than before, and she got off with the imperial court on leave, leaving even earlier than usual with Xu Tiangang.
After a few days, Old Master Xu could hear the sounds of cursing from Kang Ping courtyard. All the servants covered their mouths and laughed secretly, they knew that someone was going to suffer, and all of them waited to see the fun, but no one came forward to persuade them. On that day, the Aunt Xiang who had displayed her might for nearly a month was then tied up by the Old Mistress of the Kangping Courtyard. All of the gifts were taken away by her wives, and all of them were taken into the large library.
When Lady Helan went to the courtyard to pay respects to his wife at night, she pulled her hand and sighed, "I've wronged you for these past few days, don't remember anything."
Lady Helan naturally did not dare to say so.
Old Lady Xu continued, "I know you are a good person, but these shameless things, after giving her face, she still thinks you are weak and easy to bully! I've already decided to go to the woodshed. I'll starve for three days first, and then I'll go down to the bottom of my face. I don't know what my surname is even though I don't have enough bones. Those betrothal gifts, you are also confused, even if you don't take them yourself, you should at least gather them up in the public, where is the logic of giving them to you! This only makes her even more arrogant. "
Lady Helan laughed inwardly, but on the surface she looked even more terrified, lowering her head and saying, "My wife knows her wrongs."
Old Lady Xu held her hand and chatted for a while. Only when she was mentally exhausted did she get Old Woman Ping to send her off.
When Lady Helan walked out of the Kangping Courtyard, one could still hear the energetic voices of the Aunt Xiang cursing from afar. They scolded her, scolded Xu Tiangang and scolded the Old Lady Xu at the same time. She stood on the road and listened for a while, the smile on her face made Nanny Xue's heart ache, and she sighed, "After so many years, I have finally dealt with her."
Lady Helan turned to look at her and said, "Without Aunt Xiang, there's still Aunt Rou and Aunt Mei. How can we deal with them? "Then, let her scold, and let the old lady hear, and see for herself."
One master and one servant walked into the shadows of the forest as the curses behind them became more and more indistinct. It was as if someone had blocked their mouths, and they were no longer able to make a sound.
On the way back to the courtyard, he met Xu Mingmei by the side of the lake. Lady Helan saw that there was only Wan Feng following them and couldn't help but to ask curiously, "Your mother still hasn't made any movements? Have you seen a doctor? "
Xu Mingmei shook her head and said with a bitter face, "I've seen quite a few doctors. They all said that nothing happened to my mother's stomach, and that they were waiting for her to become familiar with it."
Lady Helan said curiously, "That shouldn't be the case. Younger siblings' child is already full of days, they should have already started moving early … Don't be too worried, Aunt will help you find a suitable place to look for your mother when we get back. How was your mother when you came out? "
Xu Mingmei replied, "My mother's appetite and spirit are both great, which is why I'm getting anxious. We've been dragging this on for more than ten days now, yet there still aren't any movements …"
The Lady Helan also shook her head when she heard this, the person in charge of the second house had no strength, so she finally understood that there was a big brother who was trying to force himself to give birth to a child. She then ordered Xu Mingmei, "It's a cold day, don't stay here, go back quickly, other matters have their own Aunt to take care of, go back quickly."
After receiving her orders, Xu Mingmei rubbed his eyes, bowed his head and thanked her. Then, he took Wan Feng and left.
Lady Helan turned around and sighed, "What the hell is this? "It's also because I was too preoccupied with Wei'er these past few days and didn't care about my sister-in-law. Remember to remind me later that your master is to go to the palace and get an imperial physician."
Nanny Xue naturally agreed.
