C92 Good Minwei as a Messenger (Part II)

This rose milk cracker with hot tea to eat, again a taste. Xu Mingwei consecutively ate three, but due to the hot tea being served, he relaxed her heart for a moment and even forgot that she was still outside, and licked the pastry on her finger.

The tip of her pink tongue landed on her long and tender white fingers, the contrast being the most plump and plump one that was deeply engraved into his mind. Suddenly, she thought of an alluring poem that she had read in a random book of books — — No wonder the sandalwood liked to speak with his tongue, rolling and rolling a few times, causing his face to immediately burn, and even his body to feel strange.

Xu Mingwei noticed that Fu Heng was looking at her, she raised her head and looked back, to see his face flushed red in embarrassment, without thinking too much, she spoke to the peaches: Go ask the servant to bring some tea down, and ask if the wheel is completed, if not we can wait, and hire a sedan chair to head home first.

Bi Tao looked at Fu Heng worriedly, but seeing that Xu Mingwei didn't seem to care, she answered and went downstairs.

Fu Heng calmed down and laughed at himself. He originally thought that he was ungreedy, but it turned out that he did not meet his because he did not meet his. In the end, he felt a bit ashamed of his own appearance. This young lady had openly not done anything out of line. He shouldn't have thought about the filth and decided to blaspheme it.

Xu Mingwei didn't know, but in the blink of an eye, Fu Heng had already walked through the ice and fire once, and was only focused on drinking the tea in his hand. He was wondering in his heart, why Fu Heng still hadn't left, and why did he not find it awkward for the two of them to sit there and not talk?

Just as she was thinking, a male voice suddenly came from outside the door, and as she opened the door, she saw that Xu Mingwei was obviously stunned, and stared at her for a long time without being able to recover.

Finally, it was Fu Heng who coughed and walked forward to obstruct Qin Jianrui's line of sight, and asked: "Brother Yuanshan, why are you looking for me?"

Qin Jianrui's cheeks flushed red, as he did not understand why the Xu Family's seven girls would appear here. Seeing Fu Heng looking at him with a slightly impatient gaze, he realised his impoliteness, and replied seriously: "On the way here, I met Brother Jian Fang who said he saw you coming here, so I came here to try my luck. "It's not good for Mr next month's birthday to be a big deal. I've come to ask you for your opinion."

After Qin Jianrui finished speaking, he sighed in his heart. After leaving her for six years, she had indeed grown into the most beautiful girl.

As a man, how could Fu Heng not see the astonishment in Qin Jianrui's eyes the moment he pushed open the door. Since his wife was so good-looking, it was indeed pleasing for him to look at her. However, the more people he thought about her, the worse it would feel.

He took the chance to bring Qin Jianrui to another room so that he wouldn't be able to peek at his.

When Xu Mingwei heard the two's voices fade away, she finally remembered who Qin Jianrui was. Originally, it was only a small episode of visiting the Fu Family. After so many years, his appearance had also changed a little, but she could still remember Qin Jianrui's name.

Xu Mingwei was displeased to be stared at by him in such a daze. However, when she saw the clarity in his eyes, she was purely happy, and did not have any intention of offending her, thus she gradually focused, focusing on recalling where she had met Qin Jianrui before. Thinking about it this way, Xu Mingwei felt that Qin Jianrui was a little cute. She was clearly a scholar who couldn't be more courteous. Yet, when she stared at the girl, his eyes were filled with joy. She must have been a close friend to her, for them to meet each other, right?

Looking at that painting of his back then, he was also a carefree person. However, men and women were on guard here, so no matter how much Xu Mingwei admired, it would not be good for him to interact with Qin Jianrui. I wonder how he did in this year's country level exam. Did he also pass the High Scholar examination?

As Xu Mingwei was thinking, the door was pushed open again. This time, it was peaches, and the horse carriage had already been repaired with the help of the employees of the teahouse. Tie Tou got on his horse and waited downstairs.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Mingwei informed the servant of the teahouse and got Tie Tou to drive over to the Wang family.

Wang Ruining took the old book that the future aunt sent over, and placed the book that he had read into Xu Mingwei's hands with red ears.

Xu Mingwei laughed at her and said, "You two just need to read. You two are so tired that your horses have broken legs."

Wang Ruining was teased by her to the point that he couldn't even stand, and ran off while covering his blushing face. Seeing that he had shamed his future sister-in-law, Xu Mingwei couldn't help but smile as he walked home.

Bi Tao thought that she was happy to see Fu Heng, and hesitantly said, "Miss, that future Young Master of the Fu Clan looks good, but he is very fierce. I can't even beat that Hei Tan under his command, if you go to his house in the future, how will he deal with you?"

Xu Mingwei wasn't able to keep up with her train of thoughts for a while, and was momentarily stunned. She reacted and said to Bi Tao, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "There's still a lot of time, how did you end up thinking about that? He was the one who was mad at him, so just ignore him. Did your father and mother often hit your mother at home? Hit you too? "

Peaches simply smiled and replied, "Daddy won't be able to hit me. I'm fast and strong."

In the end, he said worriedly, "It's just that I can't beat that future Young Master of the Fu Family. That Hei Tan is too strong, so after pinching me under his arm, I don't even know what method he used, I can't move anymore. Miss, should you take advantage of these few years to send me to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts and come back so that I can protect you? "

Xu Mingwei caressed her hair and laughed: "Foolish lady, Shaolin Temple does not accept female disciples. "Besides, if I have the time to send you there, I might as well invite someone already."

Bi Tao immediately shut his mouth when he heard that he had almost brought his own food over. From time to time, he stole a glance at Xu Mingwei, but he was still worried that he wouldn't be able to protect his young mistress.

Xu Mingwei sighed, "You really are a foolish girl, you don't have to worry, in the future, even if young master wants to beat me up, he will only let Hei Tan beat you up, you won't dare do anything to me."

A trace of happiness flashed through Peaches' eyes. She suddenly became sad again as she muttered something under her breath. When Xu Mingwei heard this, she nearly burst out laughing, but she was actually calculating if she could earn enough money in the future to buy medicine.

Halfway there, Xu Mingwei did not say anything about it to anyone, even the Lady Helan hid it from him. In the blink of an eye, the sun had risen and the winter solstice had passed. The empress's head was already in mourning for a long time, but there was still no sign of reopening lessons in the palace. Xu Tiangang later on told Xu Mingwei that Eldest Princess had been overthinking the Empress's life and that she was sick from all the work. The Emperor had to remember that she had lost her mother at such a young age, allowing the Grand Hospital to look after her body for more than two months. Only then did her body gradually recover and she was allowed to leave the Eldest Princess.

Eldest Princess was so young, yet her birth mother had died like this and she hadn't even seen the last time. It was no wonder that she was unable to bear the shock and fell ill for a while. He only hoped that she would be able to come out soon and not let her heart ache for her.

Because of the national mourning, every family could not even hang big red lanterns. They only symbolically pasted the word 'blessings' on the walls, but it only added a few struggling words to the heavy air of twilight, making people feel as if this year had been a very bleak one.

It was surprisingly cold this winter. If he was not staying in the house that burned the Fire Dragon, it would not even be enough for him to walk out and wear two sets of big furry clothes. It was just that from the distance between her courtyard and the Lady Helan's courtyard, it was enough to freeze one's toes off. She naturally hated going out, other than the days where she had to pay respects to the Old Lady Xu, Xu Mingwei had only shrunk back to her original position and did not move an inch. In Lady Helan's words, the master was more like his pet, following the snowball to winter.

The winter of this year was not only cold, but it also seemed exceptionally long. It only gradually warmed up in mid-April. In the mouth of the older generation, this phenomenon was caused by a phoenix returning to the heavens. The meaning behind his words was that the Empress' beauty and resentment had led to this natural phenomenon. It was originally just a superstitious talk behind the scenes. By May and June, before the seedlings grew into plants, they had encountered a drought that only happened once in a hundred years. They all died in the fields.

Seeing that their harvest of half a year had disappeared, the citizens of the Tianqi began to believe in the saying that the phoenix had returned to the sky with resentment. The gentry took advantage of this easterly wind to plunder the oil of the people. And all of this was covered up by the pellucid memorials one after another. In the spring of the next year, the farmers who had paid taxes by selling their pots and pans, drawing the "share money" of the Phoenix Temple — no money for seeds, no food for the living — came back to collect the "share money" of the golden statue of the Empress, but were forced into desperate straits, causing waves in many places. As long as one of the counties was successful, the flames of war would quickly spread to the surrounding counties and towns.

By the time the truth was revealed to the Emperor Tiansun, more than 30% of the towns and counties of the Tianqi had fallen and landed in the hands of the peasant army.

Emperor Tiansun was naturally furious when he found out that the situation was critical, but it was not the time to investigate. He hurriedly ordered his troops and sent his guards to suppress the waves of agriculture in both the river and the wide regions of Zhejiang Province. On the other side, an important official was dispatched to the various places to investigate the situation. He was sent to check on the severity of the disaster.
