The couple then sat in the room and waited. When it was late in the morning, the gatekeeper came to inform them that Young Master and the girl had come back. Lady Helan got up so fast that her vision turned black and she almost tripped her feet. Fortunately, Xu Tiangang was quickly supporting her from the side, and teased, "She's already at the door, what are you so anxious for, for her to be eaten by the door? If you don't miss this moment, follow me and welcome him. "
Lady Helan smiled and nodded, and allowed Xu Tiangang to hold her hand. Before she even left the courtyard, she met Xu Mingwei and Fu Heng who were returning to her house.
It had only been three days since they last met, but it felt like half of Lady Helan's life had passed. She stared at Xu Mingwei, who had changed her hair into a bun as if she was afraid to go to the countryside, and suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Xu Mingwei even said that Lady Helan wouldn't be able to recognize him, so she was both disappointed and sad for her. She walked forward with a smile on her face and was about to bow, but was pulled into Lady Helan's embrace, and touched her face and hands. Only then did Lady Helan feel that she was real, and she said with hot tears flowing down her cheeks, "It was someone else who raised her. It has only been a few days, and her face has already grown."
Xu Mingwei's nose stung, and tears fell as well. Seeing Lady Helan's haggard appearance, she advised, "Mother must take good care of herself at home, don't be too tired."
Seeing that the two of them looked like they were about to cry, Xu Tiangang felt both angry and amused. He hurriedly went up to separate the Lady Helan and Xu Mingwei, laughing, "Why are we making such a scene on such a joyous day for our daughter's return? "Why don't you hurry up and invite our dainty guest into the house so that we can sit down and have some fun together?"
The Lady Helan wiped away her tears and laughed warmly. "You're blaming me for forgetting to have Heng Ge'er. Come, come, let's talk inside."
With that, he led Xu Mingwei towards the moon-nesting, leaving behind Xu Tiangang who invited him to the study room to discuss some matters.
On the way, Lady Helan couldn't help but ask Xu Mingwei, "There's no one else here right now, have you told Mother the truth, has Heng Ge'er never touched you before?"
Xu Mingwei blushed and nodded, then said, "Fu Heng said that I'm still young, and will only round up my room after my birthday."
The Lady Helan was both worried and happy as she asked, "Is he sincere or just faking it when you see him? Don't be the one who doesn't want to get close to you. "
Xu Mingwei was startled, and said hesitantly, "From the looks of it, he doesn't look like she exists, let's just wait and see."
The Lady Helan said, "If he is sincere, then Heng Ge'er is a good person. "Since you know how to take pity on you, then mother can be at ease at home."
Originally, Xu Mingwei's impression of Fu Heng wasn't that good, but looking at the new marriage these three days, it was a lot better than before. Just by looking at his actions of secretly mediating between Lady Wang and herself, it was clear that he was not such a filial man. In this era, this was already considered an extremely rare occurrence. Thus, she was willing to speak up for him in front of Lady Helan. Of course, most of the things she did was to ease Lady Helan's heart.
While the Lady Helan was hugging her daughter and talking about herself, Fu Heng suddenly saw He Lanboxin in Xu Tiangang's study.
Before Xu Tiangang could introduce him, Fu Heng had already recognized He Lanboxin. Overjoyed, he took a large bow and said respectfully, "This student, Fu Heng, greets Heavenly Master Kui. I didn't know that I would be fortunate enough to be able to see your holy appearance in my life."
It's just a tree in an ancient book. The Kui was the legendary single-legged monster, who was later skinned and made into a war drum by the Yellow Emperor. The two words were randomly picked from an ancient book and used together. There was no meaning to them. There was a reason why He Lanboxin referred to herself as Master. When He Lanboxin was thirteen, his temper naturally wasn't as calm as it was now. At his young age, he was a very knowledgeable scholar, and her upbringing was even more insolent.
Fu Heng's arrogance and arrogance was far inferior to He Lanboxin's. This person's insolence was infamous among all the scholars of the Tianqi, and was extremely insolent, even up till now, there was no one who could match up to He Lanboxin in terms of cultivation level. But what did he do? There was no other reason but to see the eight pieces of essay that the Imperial Examinations were going to be conducted in, to be inflexible and unconventional, to bet by a random mountain friend, and to make a piece of essay that was written in a remote language during the examinations to get first place. Actually, the entire article was full of nonsense, but who told the eight pieces of writing to be nonsense? Since the Kui family's Celestial Master was able to write such nonsense, such a unique flower naturally ignited the literary world. There were not too few people who criticized others, and even more so those who respected the heavens.
On the contrary, after all these years had passed, many people still knew that Heavenly Master Kui's name was probably around the same age as He Lanboxin. Among the younger generation like Fu Heng, there were probably not many who knew about him. As a result, when He Lanboxin heard this, she was first stunned, but then she laughed and said, "That was a joke when you were young. Don't mention it again. Since you already know who this old man is, you should go and greet him. "
Fu Heng's face turned red, his eyes still flashed with the excitement of seeing his idol alive, he cheerfully greeted, "Greetings grandson-in-law greets great-grandfather."
He Lanboxin frowned, "If you've been so long-winded, you might as well just call me grandfather."
If it was anyone else, they would naturally not dare to answer, and also jumped out of the ordinary, smiling as he replied, "When I heard years ago that grandfather was living at home, I had the intention of coming over, but my father stopped me, afraid that he would disturb your peace, and didn't want to see him again this time. It is truly my fortune."
He Lanboxin said indifferently, "I was planning to leave since the new year, and decided to stay until now because of some matters that have come up. "Coincidentally, I missed the marriage between you and Seventh Madam and was unable to attend the ceremony. It was because you wanted to come today that I waited here so that we could meet again."
A trace of doubt flashed across Fu Heng's face, but he heard Xu Tiangang asking him at this time, "Did you manage to recover from your illness in spring last year?"
Fu Heng's face instantly flushed red and paled, he himself felt that he had lost all face, and replied softly. In the future, we will definitely pay more attention and not make any mistakes. "
He Lanboxin looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, causing Fu Heng to feel even more ashamed.
Fu Heng understood in his heart that the Xu family was beating the side drum for Xu Mingwei, holding his weakness as a form of coercion. Just as he was about to speak, He Lanboxin smiled and said to him, "Han Xi Yuan from the Jiang Nan Road is an old friend of this old man, and loves essays the most. If you have the time, pass it to this old man and let me take a look at it, so as to avoid wasting your years at home."
How could Fu Heng refuse now? Han Xi Yuan was famous for being a great poet, but normally, he was very taciturn. Now that he had the relationship of He Lanboxin, he got himself a path, and a pie dropped from the sky.
Fu Heng also understood that the Xu family was giving a sweet dates to eat. However, he was still unwilling to puke out the dates that He Lanboxin gave him, and could only accept it happily.
Seeing that he had said all that he needed to say, He Lanboxin smiled and got up, then excused himself and said, "My family still have matters to handle, we cannot afford to be idle. This way, the two of you, father and son, will continue.
Xu Tiangang and Fu Heng naturally stood up to send him off. The two sent him to the door before returning. On the way, Xu Tiangang wanted to remind Fu Heng more, but his carelessness only caused him to hold back a little. He was too greedy on the side, and had to be cautious in the backyard, so he revealed himself.
Fu Heng had been suppressed by his father-in-law and his great-grandfather just now, but he had lost his arrogance and listened humbly. "Ohh. However, he felt bitter in his heart. He wasn't a ridiculous person. It was just that he was ambushed and became a playboy who didn't know what was important. He truly made people unable to explain and was extremely wronged.
After listening to her father-in-law's' lesson 'with great difficulty, someone finally came to Lady Helan to pass on a message that their family was going to host a meal in the Kangping Courtyard today. The Old Lady Xu had just called for people to head over to her side.
When Fu Heng and Xu Tiangang arrived, the seats in the center of the hall were already half full. In order for a grandson-in-law to be able to recognize all his relatives on his first visit, this time's family banquet was a table for both men and women. They all sat according to the number of rooms in the room.
The Lady Ji was busy coaxing her precious egg into silence. When she raised her head, she saw a goddess-like person coming over to welcome her, and she was so scared that she even used the crab claw that she didn't even know that she had snatched it away from Fu Heng. The wet nurse at the side was quick, and quickly snatched it away from the handsome brother's hands, causing him to nearly knock his teeth out.
Old Lady Xu and the rest were all so amused by this joke that they nearly burst out laughing.
"Truly a country bumpkin. I've seen very little of him in the city. I don't even know his son-in-law anymore."
It was also said, "He really does have a peerless appearance, no wonder the Second Wife was staring at him blankly. Save the crabs. "
Old Master Xu looked unhappy on the surface, but after glancing at him, everyone gradually stopped laughing, and did not dare be reckless anymore.
Fu Heng was already used to such a situation, he smiled and asked Lady Ji to apologize, "So it was your nephew's fault, it scared Second Aunt, and they paid their respects to it."
As he spoke, he bowed towards the Lady Ji. This caused the Lady Ji to become nervous, and he hurriedly moved to the side to give way, "But I can't stand it, so hurry up and get up."
