As he spoke, he glanced at Wan Rong and the others, causing the girls to blush.
This was something that was written about in the annals of history. casually took a glance at them while they were reading in the room the other day, and laughed slanted his head at Wan Rong, "These people who write books are also very interesting, there's actually someone called Jin Ri [1]. I have only heard of people with the surname Zuo, but I have never heard of anyone with the surname Zuo. What's even funnier is that there are people who have spread rumors about him. Who knows what kind of businesses he has been involved in … "
The inside the house was quiet again, and Wan Rou's words were heard by Fu Heng. At the same time, he was also curious what Xu Mingwei was looking at, and she went over to look at the spine of the book. After asking which mister taught him to read, she found out that it was Xu Mingwei. It caused Xu Mingwei to gain the title of "Mr. White" for a while.
It was fine that he was smiling at the time, but now that Fu Heng was teasing him again, Wan Rou blushed and pouted, "This grandpa has a lot of confidence, why did you bring it up again?"
Fu Heng said wrongly, "This is not my fault, your grandmother had to come up with a good match, isn't this just the right timing?"
Wan Rong came over and gently advised, "That's right, it's fun, but the food is getting cold, so the masters should still hold on tight, and carefully injure their stomachs."
Xu Mingwei then said, "It is indeed the truth, I will stop here, I do not have many enemies, and the hardest one is all with you, if it is your husband who has eaten more, his stomach will be deep, and he will not dare to embarrass himself anymore."
Fu Heng also had something he wanted to talk to her about, so he stopped and said, "By tomorrow, I should be going out. It was a good thing that the spring did not make it last year. I heard that Brother Yuanshan's teacher also returned to the capital and was looking for an opportunity to visit him. If I were to become a spring, I might be able to become an official outside, and might accidentally miss this opportunity. "
Xu Mingwei scooped another bowl of soup for him and nodded, "You may go. If you don't come back tonight, remember to bring a message back. "
Fu Heng's words carried a trace of probing, and he laughed, "You seem to be quite at ease, but I heard that brother and sister are extremely strict with Fu Ming, and there are even people following you when you go to the latrine."
Xu Mingwei laughed, "Second brother is such a big person, how can you be bothered by others to death? Most likely, one is willing to fight while the other is willing to take it. "
Fu Heng laughed, and did not speak further. After a while, he suddenly turned to ask her, "If Brother Yuanshan and the others call me to go upstairs, do you think I should go or not?"
Xu Mingwei was momentarily at a loss as to what kind of place the building was, and she said in a daze, "How can I control someone's feet when they are on your body?"
Maybe it's just a brothel, for the sake of his health, Xu Mingwei could not help but add, "Do you know where the brothel is doing business? It's hard to avoid men going to some social events. I just hope that you can remember me a little more. Don't touch those pitiful people. "
However, Fu Heng looked down on the playboys and the brothels, and sneered, "How can those be considered pitiful. If you really want to redeem them with money, not many would be willing to come out.
Xu Mingwei listened to her and knew that her guess was right, regardless of whether Fu Heng was sincere or not, she still had to put up her own attitude, thus she said: "It doesn't matter if it's pitiful or not, if you get wet with them and return, don't let me see, or else I will slap you in the face."
Fu Heng hugged her and laughed, "I thought you really didn't care, but it turns out you're actually just a jar of vinegar. However, none of the descendants of the Fu Family dares to offend a prostitute in the outside world. If grandfather finds out about this, it won't just be a matter of breaking their legs.
Xu Mingwei didn't know about the Fu Clan's rule, so she was slightly relieved. Today, the two of them were tired, so after chatting for a while, they washed up and went to sleep.
A dreamless night.
On the day that Fu Heng went out today, he did remind Xu Mingwei that if she had nothing better to do, she could go to the Wuhua Courtyard to see Lian Qiubai, so as to accompany her to relieve her boredom.
It was only then that Xu Mingwei realized that although Lian Qiubai had always been living in the Fu Family, although he was sixteen this year, he had never told anyone about his in-laws. With her family, it would be easy for her to find a wife. Her father, Xu Kaifeng, was like an emperor in the three Northwest Prefectures, he had nothing to lose. It would be easy for him to capture a strong man to be his son-in-law.
However, Lian Qiubai kept it in his heart. He always used the excuse of saying that he was not in good health. Three hundred and sixty days a year meant that he had to take medicine every three hundred and sixty days. Anyone who saw this would think that he wouldn't live past the prime of his life. If he really did marry someone, it would only drag down their family. As a result, she had been reluctant to let her aunt, née Wang, come forward to propose marriage. Her father was a rough and crude man, and he had married a rejuvenated one. After three to two years, the thoughts she had for Lian Qiubai had naturally faded away.
Thinking about it, Xu Mingwei had not seen Lian Qiubai for over ten years. Although it was just their first meeting, she had a deep impression of this little girl. After hearing Fu Heng's explanation, she had calculated in her heart that the sun would rise a little bit later, and then let Wan Rong go to Wu Hua Academy to scout and see if she was spirited enough to see a guest.
Since Fu Heng had already left the room, there was no need to bother about the dowry anymore. After clearing up a bit of space, Xu Mingwei asked Wan Rong where the Old Lai Family was located.
Wan Rong waited for her to ask, and understood, "Does Miss want to bring people to meet me? "This servant has always asked her to temporarily spread the news outside the courtyard so that she could find out more about the Fu Clan."
Xu Mingwei laughed and nodded, "If it really is you thinking of a way, since it is so, I won't trouble you two, I will trouble you to come over, and call the people in."
Wan Rong raised her eyebrows and laughed: "It's nothing serious, if you want to say that I'm tired, that's the way to suppress your servant. This servant will go and get someone. "
Not long later, Wan Rong brought a middle-aged woman in her mid-thirties into the house, and introduced her to Xu Mingwei: "Miss, this is Aunt Lai."
Xu Mingwei saw that her skin was slightly dark, her facial features were not very delicate, but they were much more pleasing to the eye than the other servants. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that she had cleaned her hands very neatly, and had a warm smile on her face, making people happy when they saw her.
When Xu Mingwei was observing Old Lai's wife, the latter had only exchanged a few words of greeting with her before entering the door. The rest of the time, she lowered her gaze and stood there quietly, allowing her master to size her up.
Before Xu Mingwei could speak, a commotion suddenly came from outside. and the others were unable to stop Lv Zhu and the rest as they were forced to rush into the courtyard.
The Old Lai's wife quickly raised her head to look at the little mistress's expression. Seeing that Xu Mingwei's expression did not change, she couldn't help but praise in her heart, as expected, she was raised by her master, and this calmness made her seem like her master.
Lv Zhu, Hong Zhu was the first to be allocated to Fu Heng as a concubine by the Wang Clan, and was about the same age as Fu Heng. The reason why the two of them dared to rush over to the door so recklessly was because of where they came from. When New Grandmother Li Xin entered the house, she did not dare to slap her mother-in-law's face. Furthermore, Xu Mingwei was still young. As a result, until they arrived in front of Xu Mingwei, the two of them were still arguing with Wan Rou and the others, completely disregarding Xu Mingwei, the new grandmother.
The Old Lai family looked at the people sitting on the roof and kept their cool. Their eyes flashed with a smile that was not really a smile as they looked at the people sitting in front of them, their gazes drifting to their own bodies.
When Lv Zhu and Hong Zhu saw that they were already in front of the Buddha, they both took away Wan Rou's and Wan Yi's hands and knelt down towards Xu Mingwei, saying in unison, "Slave Lv Zhu greets Young Mistress, Grandmother Wan Fu."
The two of them half squatted in greeting, thinking that Xu Mingwei would definitely let them know, so they did not seriously bow either. Hong Zhu's personality was even more crude, and she immediately composed herself. After thinking about the details for a while, without hearing Xu Mingwei's shouts, she was stunned for a moment, and just as she was hesitating whether or not she should stand up by herself like Lv Zhu, he met the cold gaze of a woman who was looking at him from the side. Then, as if she was staring at a snake, she stopped moving.
Half-squatting was the most difficult of the family members. A tall person who wanted to give someone a soft nail to eat, all he had to do was look at someone with a smile and not say, "Please get up." This was because the person bowing had to slightly bend his legs, making his posture of squatting more and more orderly. Only then did he perform the etiquette more beautifully. It was a simple action. If he were to squat there for a short period of time, he would feel as though he was suffering. He could only feel that his legs were not his legs, and his waist was no longer his waist.
Hong Zhu was currently in such a state. She looked at Xu Mingwei who was only staring at the teacup and blowing on it, then looked at the teasing eyes of the Little girl! Little girl who were looking at her, feeling extremely regretful in her heart. If she had known earlier, she would have woken up by herself like Lv Zhu. Although the new grandma looked like someone who wasn't easy to get along with, it was still a matter of settling later, and it couldn't be compared to the current situation.
Lv Zhu was not stupid, seeing that Hong Zhu was still crouching and did not dare to get up, she immediately bowed with a pale face. Xu Mingwei waited until the tea in her hands turned cold, then looked down at Lv Zhu and Hong Zhu who were squatting down, instead of writing such a muddled article, she nodded her head towards the Old Lai family members right away and said, "Aunt Lai, you are the one my mother trusts, and the rule is also the best one in our family. Why don't you teach the two of them how to make a room? "
Old Lai's family members smiled and gave a standard half squat salute. Only after receiving Xu Mingwei's approval did they stand up and respond respectfully, "Grandmother is too kind. Since you trust this old servant so much, this old servant will not decline this assignment. "
