C90 Good Minwei as a Messenger (1)

Although Xu Mingbai was still dissatisfied, he still heard what he said, and he didn't know how he said it to the Ning's when he got back, but the latter's illness would be cured in a few days.

The Lady Helan naturally knew of the matters in Xu Mingbai's courtyard, and her heart became more and more disgusted with his eldest son's daughter-in-law. She was not someone who could bear it, it was only two rooms, and she almost fell down. No matter how much they arranged for others, they could only wait for the Ning's to finish giving birth.

She didn't expect Xu Mingwei to be constantly sighing in her room these past few days. It was unknown what the little girl was worrying about. One day, when she was free, she couldn't help but ask her, "I didn't see you go to school these few days and didn't get scolded by Teacher. What are you sighing about?"

Xu Mingwei replied, "Mother is already the best person in the world, but since Sister-in-law married into our family, she is still unhappy and has a bad life. I think that the aunt of the Fu Family has a better character than her mother. She probably won't have a good time when she goes to her house in the future. That's why she's sighing so often. "

Lady Helan was silent for a long time after she said that. In the end, she touched her face and laughed, "Mother knows what you mean. But think about it, who doesn't have a backyard like this, what's a concubine room worth being angry about? Even if you were to go to someone else's house in the future, there would be no reason for you to cause such a ruckus. "

Seeing Xu Mingwei's disapproving look, Lady Helan knew that he could not persuade her, and sighed, "Mother knows that there is no woman in the world who is willing to be husband to another, but look, is there anyone in the world who is unwilling to take in a concubine? The poor have two or three pennies in their pockets, and they're going to have a nice time in that dark alley, not to mention the men of our family. Not to mention the distance, look at your father, then look at your grandfather, which family isn't filled with wives and concubines? This is the life of a woman. Who told us to throw ourselves into the womb so badly that we became a girl's family? Mother doesn't like your sister-in-law, she's too soft. I'm afraid she won't be able to control the family in the future, so I'll bear with it. But in this backyard, he couldn't let her have her way. Mom originally wanted to wait until her stomach was full for three months, then ask her if she wanted to send anyone over. But your big brother didn't want to wait, so he came over himself and asked for it, saving her the trouble at night. "I knew that there would be such a ruckus, and it's good if the ruckus really passes. After living like this for so long, I'll get used to it."

This time, Xu Mingwei was truly startled, and asked hesitantly, "Is it really the person big brother wants personally?"

The Lady Helan caressed her face lovingly and sighed, "Silly girl, why would mother lie to you? It's not easy to talk to you about what happened in your big brother's room. Mother is still afraid that you will be foolish. When you leave home in the future, you will still have to act like your sister-in-law … Sooner or later, your in-laws would all go to your room. Instead of making all the elders complain and resent you, why not just take it and buy it for yourself … "You'll know when you get married in the future. With children, men aren't that important anymore …"

The Lady Helan thought about something, and her voice suddenly became much deeper, as she looked out the window in a daze.

Xu Mingwei was still immersed in the collapse of Xu Mingbai's image, and felt that this whole thing was unbelievable. It was obvious that he and Ning's had a good relationship, all the servants in the house had all been chased away by Ning's after she married over, so why would they rush to get married the moment Ning's became pregnant?

Actually, Xu Mingbai was not as anxious as he thought he would be. It was a rule in the house that when a wife got pregnant, they would have to separate rooms to sleep, and at the same time, everyone in the room would have to sleep. Initially, he also had a good intention, for fear that Ning's might have just lost some of his spirit, and would not be able to think of this matter, at that time, there would be a grudge from his wife, so he had mentioned it to Lady Helan earlier. Ever since the two concubines had entered their courtyard, Xu Mingbai had been extremely busy every single day, and was not even clear on whether or not they were real or fake. Furthermore, Ning's had said that it was not good to be courteous, so he had even less of a mind to sleep in those two concubines.

Listening to his sister's words, he finally understood where the Ning's's bad luck was coming from. First he was angry, then he laughed. He wanted to tell the Ning's that he did not have any thoughts towards those two rooms, so he advised her to be at ease, but he was also afraid that it would increase her jealousy. After thinking about it for a while, he decided not to reveal it.

Ning's's heart was filled with worry, but she did not dare ask for his meaning. In the end, the person was still right in front of him and did not follow any other woman.

With regards to the matter in his son's room, Lady Helan could not interfere too much. Seeing that the two of them did not cause any trouble, Xu Mingbai decided to stay in the main room with him. With such an undeveloped daughter-in-law, Lady Helan paid even more attention to Xu Mingzhang's direct wife candidate. As the period of mourning was not to be too lively, no floral feast could be held either. As the period of mourning could not be too lively, no flower feast could be held either.

Although the Fang family was not very large, she was still the housekeeper, and was also raised like a man by his father. She had read very well, and her personality was lively and generous, perfectly complementing the taciturn Xu Mingzhang.

With Madame Zuozheng in the lead, the marriage was quickly concluded. The two sides agreed to wait until the national funeral, so that August 15 that year to get a betrothal gift.

Although Xu Mingzhang was still in the Academy, he knew that he was engaged to someone from his family. When he wrote to Xu Mingwei, he shyly asked. Although the letter only mentioned the daughter of the Wang family while pretending to not care, Xu Mingwei could totally imagine how her fourth brother had scratched his head when he wrote the letter. After reading it, she couldn't help but laugh. After she had laughed enough, she sent Tie Tou to drive the carriage and personally went to the Wang Family to find his future sister-in-law to play.

Wang Ruining also knew that he had been betrothed to the Xu Family's Fourth Young Master. Upon seeing Xu Mingwei, they were naturally very intimate, most likely knowing that the Xu Family's two brothers both loved their girls very much. Wang Ruining's mother's health had not been good ever since he was born. At first, it was the wet nurse who helped the butler, and later when the wet nurse could no longer control her body, Wang Ruining finally showed his face. Xu Mingwei had stayed in the Wang family for an entire afternoon, and very quickly fell for her personality. She thought to herself, Lady Helan has always had a very accurate view of people, and with Wang Ruining matching with her four big brothers, it can't be any better.

Before Xu Mingwei left, he asked Wang Ruining for the book that she often read. Although Wang Ruining was confused, he did not think too much about it, and turned to instruct the servants to retrieve the book《 Heavenly Passage Formation》 on the bookshelf.

Xu Mingwei laughed, "I didn't expect big sister to be able to read such a book on a daily basis. Even though I was holding onto it, I felt that it was very heavy, and couldn't even flip through ten pages."

Wang Ruining laughed, "I won't hide it from my sister, I will use this book to pass the time, when my heart is in a mess, I will flip through it, and I will feel much more at ease. Even though they are scattered in this way, they are still only able to flip through half of the book. "

Xu Mingwei said, "Borrowing big sister's book, I am afraid that you have nothing better to do, this is something that I read often at home, so I left it for you to enjoy."

Wang Ruining laughed as he extended his hand out to receive it. Before he could even see the name of the book, Xu Mingwei had already stood up and was about to leave. She quickly put the book aside and personally saw her out of the room. When he returned to her room and saw that the table was surprisingly identical to the one on the table, he vaguely guessed something. When he flipped it open, sure enough, there was also an annotation written by Little Jun. Looking at the movement of the pen, it was obvious that it was not from a lady's hand. For a moment, his heart thumped like a drum and his face was as red as a flame. He was unable to read even a single word of the book that was flipping through. Only after a long while did he calm down and look back at the comment. Sometimes, it was filled with piercing pain, and sometimes it was filled with ridicule. It was much more insightful than what she had imagined.

She had known that the Xu family was in good shape, but now that she saw the wisdom of the Xu family's fourth son, her heart was filled with confidence. She hated the fact that the country had been lost for too long in the past three years.

As for Xu Mingzhang, after sending the letter home to ask the little sister about the character and appearance of his future wife, he regretted it a little, and could not take her back again. He waited bitterly for over half a month before a thin piece of paper arrived, but he didn't say anything. Xu Mingzhang thought that he had asked too many questions, and he couldn't see what his intentions were. He was also hesitating on whether he should write another letter and ask him about it, but the next day, his family sent his a small blue cloth package.

Xu Mingzhang thought that it was the book that he had left at home. But upon closer inspection, he realized that it was not, the paste on the back of the book was a little older. He curiously flipped it open and saw lines of delicate writing. The commentary was very interesting, and even some sentences that he didn't pay attention to were annotated. Although it was a bit trivial, the view was quite novel. He flipped through the book for a long time, and only after flipping through half of it did he figure out the origin of this book. It took him a similar amount of time to get used to it. He quickly kept the《 Heavenly Passage》 and took it out to look through when he was free. In Xu Mingzhang's heart, he slowly sketched out the words of Wang Ruining. Although they had never seen each other before, they felt that the two of them were already familiar with each other.
