Hearing that, she pouted and said, "It's all because of that shameless Du Mingtang, I don't know who told you about the wealth of the Mr. Fang, but he actually shamelessly came to ask for brother's inheritance, and asked for five hundred silver taels as soon as he opened his mouth. It's better to just snatch it!"
Xu Mingwei was confused when she heard it, and asked, "Who is Du Mingtang?"
Master Fang glanced at Qing Qing, and did not ask her, "Du Mingjing is the name of my late husband, and Du Mingtang is only a distant cousin. It was laughable for him to suddenly come to the Du Family to ask for the five hundred and fifty silver taels left behind by his husband. When your mother tried to drive him away, she was afraid that he would come and cause trouble again. So, I sold myself and came to you as your dowry. Here is the body contract, are you going to take it or not? "
was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as he took over the body contract and looked. Indeed, it was sealed with the seal of the government, according to the laws of the Tianqi, servants are not allowed to keep their private property, and in the future, even if Du Ming Tang comes again to ask for five hundred gold coins, he would still not be able to get it.
Xu Mingwei kept her body contract and laughed bitterly, "Sir, why do you have to put yourself down to be that scoundrel? Let's go up to the officials and confront him."
It wasn't as if the Xu Family couldn't afford a mere five hundred silver taels. They really didn't want to appear in court and settle this matter in private. Even writing an official document would be able to resolve this issue … Xu Mingwei had not finished thinking about it, when she heard the Master Fang speak again, "Only this little one is hard to deal with. It wasn't that easy to explain. Today, she had taken five hundred taels, and the day after that she had come to take another thousand. Was she not going to give them to her? Only by cutting off his path will she be able to rest at ease. "
Xu Mingwei thought that it was not worth it to sell herself as a "dowry" to the Fu Clan. She would rather live in the Xu Clan. It was only then that she thought about it, yes, Master Fang definitely wasn't willing to receive support from the Xu family for nothing, and since Lady Helan also wanted to help the Fu family, she could only shut her eyes and agree to Master Fang's request.
Her eyes became hot, and it took her a while to suppress her emotions. She spread her eyebrows and smiled, "This is good as well. This way, your student won't be confused, and won't be confused. No one will question you. There is one that is of use to you right now. Please sit down and rest first, mister. "
He turned and said to Fu Heng, "Let's not talk about other things, my master's skill with the words is truly amazing, and his drawing is even more so of an outstanding alchemist. Rather than letting me help you pick one out, it would be better to just show it to my master, and get the Mr. Daqian's attention. "
Fu Heng had also heard of Fang Shuiyi's name before, and he sighed in his heart. No wonder he thought that this person had a temperament like a lotus right from the moment they met. Hearing the conversation between Fang Shuyi and Xu Mingwei, he was both surprised and happy. He couldn't be invited either, but now he had become his family's servant. Although Fu Heng did not plan to treat her as a servant, but he knew that this person would always stay in his house, and would never leave it, so her mood would always be different. Therefore, when Xu Mingwei mentioned it, he just smiled and agreed, and went to the study room to pick out suitable words and paintings for Mr. Daqian to pass on to him.
Seeing that Fu Heng had finally left, the Master Fang pulled Xu Mingwei's hands and looked at him carefully, then asked, "I heard from your mother that the two of you don't have much time left, I originally thought that he was just trying to curry favor with you, but it seems like she still has some sincerity after all. It's just that there's a hint of worry on your face, but what's so difficult about it? "
Xu Mingwei shook her head first, unintentionally saying things that she was not sure of yet, which added to the annoyance of the others. But who was the Master Fang, how could she fool them? He coldly looked at him and said, "Indeed, a few days have passed, and I have forgotten about you. Everyone else has left, and is sincere."
Xu Mingwei could not help but laugh bitterly, "Sir, you really want to kill me! "How should I think about it? There have indeed been some problems at home in the past few days, but they have all been resolved by now, and there are some details that the students are still unable to understand or explain at the moment. It's just that they don't want to cause Mister any trouble."
The Master Fang caressed her hair and laughed, "I know what you mean, and I'm not willing to trouble you, Mister. I appreciate your kindness, but this piece of paper, of course, is not for naught.
There was a hint of 'Lu Li wouldn't accept any effort' in his words. The Master Fang had already said everything clearly, so Xu Mingwei did not say anything. However, she was wary of Fu Heng returning after a while, and continued to chat after that.
After receiving her promise, Master Fang was at ease as she arranged his residence and expenses. At the same time, she laughed, "I had never done this before, I only remembered from the way you master and servant replied that you also have to call yourself a slave."
Fu Heng happened to enter the house by chance, and heard the words, and anxiously tried to stop him: "That won't do, Sir is Sir, we are all well aware of what that paper was written for, how could it be the same logic as Sir today's servant?! However, you should just stay at home and not bring up this sloppy-looking rule ever again. "
These words caused Xu Mingwei and Master Fang to laugh. Fu Heng was still a little confused, not knowing what they were laughing about. Xu Mingwei explained, "Idiot, Teacher is joking with me, you really took it for real, why don't you bring the calligraphy and paintings up for me to see?"
Fu Heng finally understood and said, "You scared me so much that I jumped, and I thought you guys were being serious."
One of them depicted a beautiful scene of a forest filled with red leaves, but it gave off a sense of desolation due to the grand occasion. The other depicted a fragment of a mountain peak, but it did not look like a picture of a magnificent mountain peak, as if it was looking down on a small map from the top of a mountain. Instead, it changed its perspective and looked down a pine tree, as if there was a beautiful lady in a remote corner of the mountain. Even though it was just a few strokes, it gave the onlookers the illusion that the short wind would blow up the white veil of the person painted on it in the next moment, or perhaps in the next moment, the beauty on the path would turn around and smile faintly …
When Xu Mingwei saw the portrait, her heart was moved. Wasn't this the scene where Fu Heng secretly waited for her at the top of the mountain? He didn't know that after watching for so long … Raising his head, he just so happened to meet Fu Heng's gaze that was fixated on her, and faintly smiled at his with mischievous intentions. He could not help but blush a little.
Master Fang did indeed pick the second scroll, and praised, "The first one I did seemed to be indifferent, but my mood was gloomy, and the brush tip was a bit heavy, not very good. This was called being careless, but every stroke of the brush contained spiritual energy, and lacked practice. Although it was clumsy, it was still a coincidence. Since Mr. Daqian had never been a good person in his life, the first painting could be considered as something that he did not rip apart on the spot. But after a single glance, he became impatient and did not look at it again. The latter will catch his eyes twice. If you can give another evaluation or two, it's not like you'll lose out. "
As he spoke, he looked at the banner that Fu Heng had written and laughed, "Although the words are good, they are extremely arrogant and I forgot to restrain myself. If she took him, she would make him mock her. to avoid Mr. Daqian from cursing and scolding, I forgot that I still have to help you look at the pictures. "
Fu Heng had always been rather proud of his words. After hearing the Master Fang's praises,he felt a little unhappy in his heart for a moment. Originally, he wanted to obtain the Mr. Daqian's green eyes, so he specially made this banner with only three large words. "Tortoise Life", the unwillingness to die caused boundless self-confession that spread across the paper, and was also designed to point out the meaning behind his banner. However, she didn't expect to break the contract with Fang Shuyi.
Master Fang also saw his expression and said indifferently, "If it's Liang Yin and his bunch of teachers, then it's to their liking. Other people might not want to talk about it, but looking at how you are at the same time period, Qin Jianrui, is he as good as you in personality? "
Xu Mingwei understood what she meant, and laughed while clapping her hands, "I have only heard of one mountain cannot hold two tigers, but there is actually a story about two tigers in one capital, ah."
If there weren't anyone else present, Fu Heng would have hugged her tightly and rubbed her chest, making her laugh at him in such a narrow manner. Now he could only glare at her in anger and laughter, thinking to himself that it would not be good to call her that night.
The Master Fang also could not help but laugh, and gasped for breath, "What a narrow-minded demon, don't let me meet you, Mr. Daqian, and learn your words from him."
It was only then that Fu Heng noticed, that the Master Fang seemed to be extremely familiar with the Mr. Daqian, and he asked curiously, "What is the reason behind the relationship between the Mr. Fang and the Mr. Fang? seemed to understand Mr. Daqian's temperament quite well. "
The Master Fang did not hide it from him and said, "But it was also something that happened when I was young. They were originally my father's old friends who came to my house often, so they don't mind our juniors being so noisy. When they discussed books and paintings with my father, they also hugged us on their knees to amuse us, so they still remember a little. "
Everyone in the room knew what was behind it. and Xu Mingwei did not stay for long, and arranged for the lass to wait on them and rest for a while, before making any plans on the next day.
The day passed quickly. When it was dinner time, Xu Mingwei went to serve in Wang's courtyard, but Lady Zhan did not allow her mother-in-law's kind heart to serve, busying herself from head to toe. By the time she could really sit down to eat, all of them would be completely cold. The only person that she noticed was probably Fu Ninghui. It was said that she was sick and was afraid that she might be sick, so she stayed in her room to eat. It had been a long time since he last saw her.
When Xu Mingwei saw her, her eyes naturally revealed a hint of surprise. Fu Ninghui smiled at her naturally, then greeted her, "It's been a while since I've seen my sister-in-law, but her complexion is extremely good. She's not like me, who would fall ill after going out for a bit of wind."
