C93 The chaos Xu Fu assignment

Before he left, the Lady Helan personally helped him pack his belongings. He was reluctant to part with them, so he instructed Xu Tiangang, "It's not like being at home, and it's very messy outside, if there are any problems, you have to be careful, but remember to stay home and come back well."

Xu Tiangang agreed naturally, and laughed: "I am not going alone, there are also personal guards, you don't have to worry too much about me at home, once the Emperor has finished his tasks, I will naturally be back."

Although Xu Mingwei didn't really like her father, after more than ten years of work, when she suddenly heard that he was going to travel far, and then head to that place filled with evil, he became worried as well. Seeing that in Xu Tiangang's eyes, there was a burst of warmth in his heart, and she comforted her while rubbing her head, "At least I didn't love you for nothing, and I was worried for father's sake. It's just that this is not good for you ladies. It's just a small matter, and it weighs heavily on your heart. You don't even have a smile on your face anymore. My little darling, Daddy is going out tomorrow, but I haven't been able to see you at home for a while. Daddy didn't want to think about it, and he didn't even have a smile on his face. Don't just listen to your mother. Daddy is fine, so he must come to the family. Come, laugh for daddy. "

Xu Mingwei calmed her down a little, and forced out a smile. Xu Tiangang knew that she wouldn't be able to make things difficult for her, so she pinched her nose a little.

He then went back to the Main yard to pay his respects to the Old Master Xu and the Old Lady Xu. He did not know what the Old Master Xu had told him, but it was almost night before Xu Tiangang returned from the Main yard. Lady Helan had originally left food for him, but after hearing that a servant had come to report that Main yard had stayed for dinner, he decided to have dinner with Xu Mingwei and the others. In the end, she was still worried about Xu Tiangang, and even instructed the kitchen to make another pot of Ginseng Chicken Soup, then put it on the small stove to simmer. After Xu Tiangang returned from Main yard, he did not ask further, and only watched him finish drinking the soup, and helped him rest.

Early the next morning, Xu Mingwei was woken up drowsily by Wan Rong, but she did not make it to Main yard in time. The Lady Helan had long sent Xu Tiangang out of the city, and most likely, she was already out of the south city gates. If she had known earlier, she would have told Wan Rong to wake him up earlier.

Even the people in the mortal world would often discuss the situation outside. Some said that nine counties in the Suzhou region had rebelled against the imperial government, and even the prefectural government had been raided by the people. Some also said how powerful the Wa Sky King of Yu Hang was, but he still managed to escape without a trace under the encirclement of one hundred thousand soldiers.

Xu Mingwei listened to the news that Wan Rong and the others had gathered everyday, feeling both worried and at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. The Wa Tian King was surrounded by a huge army of a hundred thousand men, which was a story only these ignorant civilians could invent. The entire Tianqi only had a total of two hundred thousand soldiers, the Imperial Guards in the capital only numbered thirty thousand, and the guards at the border that could be mobilized numbered no more than fifty thousand. This time, the six Imperial Censor's patrol team only numbered less than ten thousand. Ridiculous.

As for the rumor of the Suzhou Prefect having his entire family exterminated, Xu Mingwei was not sure if that was true. If it was really true, then Xu Minglan's husband would be in trouble, and if something were to happen to the young son of the Prefect, then Xu Minglan would become a widow. If they continued the marriage, there would be many families that would be unwilling.

Actually, to know whether the matter was true or false, all he needed to do was to look at the official's residence and report it. However, the residence's report was sent to the Old Master Xu's study room. Since Xu Mingwei did not have the face nor the guts to borrow it, she could only make Wan Rong and the others pay attention to him.

After being worried at home like this for half a month, Xu Tiangang's first letter to his family had finally arrived. By the time Xu Mingwei could read it, it was already past Old Master Xu, Lady Helan, and the hands of Xu Mingbai, who knew how many rounds it was in her hands.

Maybe because he was afraid of his family's worries, Xu Tiangang did not mention anything about the situation of the Ming shui town's farmers, he only said that it was difficult to live in the Ming shui town, and that it was his first time being unable to adapt to the situation, so he started to supervise and manage the chaos in Ming Shui town. Although it was a small number, Xu Mingwei could still imagine the difficulty behind it. But what was fortunate was that at least Xu Tiangang was safe and sound. Although Lady Helan did not say it, hearing that the steward was coming to report the expenses of the family, he did not seem to be in a good mood. It was obvious that he was worried for his own husband.

The outside world was chaotic, and the families in the capital were gradually losing their mobility. They all stayed at home, and many of those who attended the academy were taken home by their families. This showed that the family had hired a teacher for their children.

Master Fang had been sick for more than a month, and this year, the first month would be the start of the reopening of the lecture. Seeing that her face was still green, Xu Mingwei advised her to rest. Master Fang only smiled and listened, but did not comply. She had secretly asked for a doctor, but kept it a secret and refused to tell Xu Mingwei the truth.

After that, Xu Mingwei visited her a few more times, but Master Fang still looked a little sickly. Only after speaking a few simple words with her did he grow tired.

Xu Mingwei guessed that she was probably sick of internal organs. In her previous life, she had a big sister who had problems with her kidneys, and could not be cured, so she could only rest, not being able to eat anything that was too tasty, do tiring work, and even more so, not worrying. Her husband divorced her because of her illness, and in less than half a year she found a younger and prettier one. If there really was such a problem, it would make sense if the doctor helped the Master Fang hide it from the others.

It was not because she was afraid that the Xu family would chase her away. After all, it was not some shameful, dirty habit. With Master Fang's usually strong personality, she would probably not be able to handle it anymore. Her students and the main family would fear that she was tired and would take too much into consideration. Xu Mingwei recalled that when the Master Fang had taught them lessons a while ago, there were actually already some omens, but it was just that they were a little too careless and didn't pay much attention to it. She could not help but feel guilty, in this family, other than Lady Helan, she could be considered the second most respected elder. Rather than calling them master and disciple, they were more like a mother and daughter. Although Master Fang's body was unwell, she did not notice it at all.

Thus, at home, she would often read the medical book and memorize all of the various ways to recuperate. The Lady Helan was laughing at her for not letting Xie Hong do the job, but instead making up her mind to become a Mongolian doctor. Xu Mingwei did not care about being laughed at by his mother. Thus, he changed the method and took out a variety of precious medicinal herbs and soup from the small warehouse.

The Nanny Xu studied and researched on this matter. Using her pointers, she finally found her way onto Xu Mingwei's road, and was pressured by Grandma Fang and the others in the big kitchen. She did not care much. In her heart, she thought that these shallow people would only make fun of her in these few years. When she follows the seven girls out of the house in the future, that would truly be great fortune.

Under the title of having the Master Fang appraise his culinary skills, Xu Mingwei had indeed persuaded her to eat the medicinal food that he had cooked. Originally, it was just some nourishing prescriptions. Xu Mingwei didn't really expect Master Fang to get rid of her illness from its roots, but seeing her complexion slowly become better, he was extremely happy in his heart.

Originally, everyone thought that Xu Tiangang would be back in a few months. However, they didn't expect that he would be back in the middle of autumn this year, with a pair of chopsticks missing from the dining table. At the beginning, there were still two letters home every month, but after the sixth month, the letters gradually became fewer and fewer. Even after two months, there was still not a single letter. If it wasn't for the promise from Old Master Xu, and if Clear Water Town didn't report the incident, Lady Helan would have sent their families to Bright Moon Town to investigate.

Xu Mingwei could only use other things to distract the Lady Helan, so as to not worry too much and harm her body. In September, the Yang family sent a note over, inviting Xu Mingwei and Xu Minglan to their house as guests. Xu Mingwei originally did not want to go, but even Xu Minglan had somewhat of a dispirited feeling. She did not know if it was because she had heard the news of the Suzhou Prefect's house being raided by the commoners. On the other hand, Lady Helan felt that this year was probably because she was bored at home, and seeing that she was getting older, it would not be easy for her to go out in the future. Since she could still walk around, she naturally had to walk around a little, so she strongly encouraged the two to pick up the threads and send it to the Yang family.

Even though the Yang family was treating Yang Jinxi as a treat, it was actually just to set up two small tables in Yang Jinxi's courtyard, and to find a place to have a good time.

Other than the few sisters from the Yang family, there were three Xu Mingwei and the others who had met before, as well as the daughters of families who were close to the Yang family. Fu Ninghui, Zhou Ranxing, Zuo Youlan and Zuo Youzhu had all arrived at the scene, and it had only been a little more than a year.

Fu Ninghui sighed, "Last time, when we parted with Hongqing Tower, no one could have predicted that it would end up like this. When Eldest Princess was in seclusion, we sisters split up and flew away separately … Little Sister Jin Xi and I would occasionally come into contact with each other, and only Little Sister Mingwei stayed in a secluded place. She was obviously in the same place as me, but it was as if she was isolated from the world … It's not easy for the six of us to gather together. "

Xu Mingwei could not explain as she smiled towards the crowd.

But Zhou Ranxing said, "If I really want to meet, I can still do so. I'm afraid that the days of the older sisters are getting tighter and tighter, and it will be hard for me to see them again in the future. "
