C80 Treat the new guest as a gift from Mingwei

People really didn't talk about it.

The first genius of the Lady Helan talked about the two Xu Mingbai brothers. In the afternoon of the second day, the two brought the errand boy back home, happily enough, Lady Helan sent her wife away to heat up the water, and also made people to prepare snacks. She had a smile on her face the entire time, but it made Xu Mingbai sad to look at it.

Xu Mingzhang also pulled Lady Helan closer to him and sat down. With a solemn face and pitch black pupils, he looked even more calm after not seeing him for half a year.

Lady Helan rubbed Xu Mingzhang's little head and said tenderly, "Zheng'er also grew taller, her clothes are going to be made into new clothes again."

Xu Mingzhang's face was flushed red, obviously he was not used to being rubbed on the head, but because of the Lady Helan, he forced himself to stay put.

Lady Helan sighed in her heart. When the child landed on the ground, he immediately felt the wind grow up, and after careful calculation, the two brothers Ming Bai and Ming Meng were not by his side for many days. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the age where they could be considered relatives.

Lady Helan pulled two people to a seat, one on each side. She asked them how they were doing in the academy. She asked until she was clear before turning to Xu Mingbai, "You are already old, and it is only a little more than a year until the end of the competition. You have to find something so that you can go to Uncle Ning's Mansion to propose marriage. "Since you're at home during the new year, you should visit some of your old classmates outside and take a look at their essays. Are there any differences with what your husband has said?"

Suddenly being mentioned about the marriage, Xu Mingbai blushed, which was rare for him, and agreed to it, "Mother is right, son has such a plan."

Xu Mingzhang looked at his brother with a teasing smile, and scratched his face a few times. He realized that he was about to get married, it was so embarrassing.

Lady Helan pinched his youngest son's face and laughed, "Big bro Xin, don't laugh at others. After the new year, mother will begin to look at your daughter-in-law for you. Why don't you tell your mother in advance what kind of daughter-in-law you like? Just tell your mother and she'll take a good look for you. "

This time, it was Xu Mingbai's turn to laugh at Xu Mingzhang. His ears were completely red from embarrassment, and just as he was about to run out to hide, he was pulled by Xu Mingbai.

"What are you running for? Don't explain it clearly. Carefully, mom will find you a second elder sister Xiang."

Lady Helan's heart skipped a beat. Which Second Sis Xiang? Could it be that their sons had tainted other girls in the academy? They pretended to be confused as they asked, "Who's Second Young Sister Xiang? How come I've never heard you talk about her before?"

Xu Mingbai did not notice the Lady Helan's expression, and laughed, "Second sister Xiang is the daughter of a teacher in our academy, and rumors say that she is a Heavenly Immortal. Thus, there were those who went into the courtyard to take a look at her, and when they came back, they sighed and said that Second sister Xiang is a Heavenly Immortal, so when they landed, their faces were already on the ground. With his pancake face and triangular eyes, as well as his pockmarked face, he seems more like a family that makes sesame seed cakes. "

Lady Helan was amused by his words, and after a while she scolded, "What a mean demon! After I peeked at his daughter, I can see that she's still secretly assigning him a task. Which family's playboy is she from now on? Don't interact with her anymore. "

Xu Mingbai was obviously choked, but even Xu Mingzhang had a constipated look on his face, which led the Lady Helan to ask curiously, "Whose son is it?"

Xu Mingbai glanced at her and replied softly, "It's the third young master of Uncle Ning's Mansion."

This time, it was Lady Helan's turn to be startled. The marriage of her two children was not something that she had done herself, it was unknown whether it was good or bad.

When Xu Mingwei heard from the Nanny Xue that his two elder brothers had returned home, she immediately rushed over. Coincidentally, the Lady Helan had come out from Xu Mingbai's courtyard, and hurriedly went up to greet them.

Lady Helan combed her messy hair and said with a smile, "Your two big brothers just returned, let's talk for a while and come out. Don't tire them out."

Xu Mingwei nodded her head in agreement, but Xu Mingbai had already heard her voice, and picked her up.

"Mom said you've grown taller and heavier. It's really true."

Xu Mingwei smiled at him, and said proudly, "Of course, I am taller than the Eldest Princess and Sister Yang."

If one were to ask who Xu Mingwei was most depressed about, it would definitely be Eldest Princess. Yang Jinxi, the two sisters of the Zuo family, had grown up. Only the height of the Eldest Princess had not changed.

Xu Mingbai quickly let her go, seeing that Xu Mingzhang had come out too, he pulled her hand and laughed: "Your fourth brother brought you a lot of new things. It's all in the box at the back, and he purposely left them unpacked, I've been waiting for you."

When Xu Mingwei heard that there was a present, she was naturally overjoyed. She happily followed her two elder brothers into the room. There was amber, which contained all kinds of small insects, a fan made of silk, and a double-sided embroidered Persian cat handkerchief. The most precious one was a small golden pocket watch. Xu Mingwei immediately opened it to look, and felt that it was full of gold. On the surface of the watch, there were different colored gems embedded with scales, the workmanship was extremely detailed and meticulous.

Xu Mingbai had long known that she would like this, so he smiled and said, "This is from a Nanyang merchant ship. I had wanted to customize one for you, but unfortunately, I couldn't make it in time and bought it.

Xu Mingwei nodded and said, "Thank you big brother and fourth brother, I like all of these very much."

Xu Mingzhang laughed honestly, and did not say a word. However, Xu Mingbai was afraid that she did not know how to use it, so he taught her carefully. The three siblings talked for a long time until the wife came to urge them. Finally, Xu Mingbai got a servant to carry a small box and take Xu Mingwei out.

On the way back to the courtyard, he bumped into Xu Mingmei and her cousin. When Xu Mingmei saw that it was her, he said joyfully, "I was just about to go to your room to play, but I met her here. She is my uncle's sister, Seventh Sister, just like me, you can call her Sister Fu."

Xu Mingmei turned around and smiled at Ji Rufu as she introduced him, "Sister Fu, this is the Seventh Sister I told you about."

Xu Mingwei saw that the girl behind her was around 13 or 14 years old, with a well-proportioned oval face. It was just that her eyebrows were not painted well, making her look a little fierce. The girl was also quietly sizing her up. After a while, she had already clearly seen her up and down, and her eyes couldn't help showing her contempt.

As Xu Mingwei stayed at home and did not see any guests, she was wearing an extremely clean set of dress today. She did not wear any hairpin rings on her head. Although it was plain, it was actually just missing some embroidery patterns, but the clothes and materials were excellent. The empress had bestowed it to each of the household for reading during mid-autumn, and most of the women in the palace used it for their clothes.

Xu Mingwei felt that it was a pity to use this material as a middle garment, so she left a piece for her to make this set of wide sleeved dresses. After that, Xu Minglan did the same thing as her. It was just that the color of the belt had changed to a dark green and purple, even the old lady praised them when she saw them.

How would Ji Rufu know how precious this material was, but seeing Xu Mingwei's naked head, ears and neck without a single piece of jewelry and wearing a plain shirt, Ji Rufu did not take her seriously. She thought to herself, this Xu family was originally a wealthy family. I heard that her aunt only entered the family after falling down a few years ago. Now that I've seen my daughter dressed like this, it seems that it's true.

Of course, Xu Mingwei was not mistaken when she saw the look of disdain in Ji Rufu's eyes, and in her heart, she somewhat recognized this Big Sister Fu. She immediately let her go and smiled, "This is what I said earlier was better than better, I just came over from my brother's courtyard, if you guys had come over earlier, I wouldn't have been there."

Xu Mingmei said in shock, "Since Big Brother and Fourth Brother are back today, this Aunt will be very happy."

Xu Mingwei laughed, "That's right. I see my mother walking with the wind. "

Xu Mingmei also laughed. Seeing the box in her hands, she joked, "This must be the tribute from Big Brother and Fourth Brother right?"

Ji Rufu's eyes flashed as she looked at the woman's hand. Xu Mingwei laughed in her heart, and pulled Xu Mingmei to her own courtyard, and said: "They also know that they won't be able to send me any gifts, and will not be able to live a peaceful life when they return home."

"Only big brother and fourth brother are willing to spoil you, sometimes Seventh Sister would really envy you." Xu Mingmei sighed.

"What's there to be envious about? Don't you have two cousins and an uncle? Why are you sending so little stuff into your yard every year?" Sister Fu, don't you think so? " Xu Mingwei said.

Ji Rufu's heart ached when she thought about the things that her family would send to the capital every year. Now that she was asked about it, she could only smile and agree.

Xu Mingmei wanted to say how could her cousin and blood brother compare to him, but since Ji Rufu was present, she decided not to.

She was also from a rich background, although she did not recognize the things she used to create, a single object was not worth money and she still had some discernment, which made her feel that her eyesight was not enough, thus she said that the main house was truly rich, and thus she started to be intimate with Xu Mingwei.

How could Wan Rou and the rest not know what kind of person Ji Rufu was? They secretly laughed at the second wife's relatives as if they were guests. Waiting until the two of them were about to leave, Wan Rou then walked forward and gave Xu Mingmei and Ji Rufu a pair of safety buttons. The jade was the same, only the color of the chains was slightly different, Xu Mingmei had received a red one while Ji Rufu's was a pink one, so it was obvious that it fit the color of the flowers in their names.
