Wan Rong's heart trembled, she pretended that she was fine and took back the box of Snow Clams, and said indifferently, "It's still mama who has sharp eyes, so she can even see through this Chen item. "I forgot to tell you just now that this is something that my grandma found in her storage room that I didn't want. I felt it was a pity to throw it away, so I wanted to ask you to open a small stove and stew it under water so that we could nourish it as well."
Nanny Xu still shook her head and said, "I can't let go of this thing. Think about it, even though it's dried, the cured meat is still soaked in salt foam. If you try to put it in this weather, wouldn't you be able to store it? Even in the cellar there was a smell of oil, lost. This thing should be thrown away or thrown away. Grandmother treats you so warmly that you can even eat bird's nest. Why do you have to be so greedy for these pieces of rotten meat. "
Wan Rong nodded her head in agreement, then instructed Nanny Xu, "When I get back, I will go to the warehouse to search for fresh food, and according to what you said, if I don't eat it now, it would be useless, so stop talking with the others, my family's stuff is ruined and thrown away, it's more or less not good to listen to them."
Nanny Xu naturally agreed, and then said, "Don't worry about this, I do not have anyone good to talk about in my home. Furthermore, since Madam sent me to accompany Grandmother, I naturally know which one is the proper master."
Talking to smart people was as easy as talking to them. Wan Rong did not care whether Nanny Xu believed her or not, since she had already said that it was enough, she planned to go to the warehouse to look for a fresh change, but she was caught red-handed by Xu Mingwei.
Xu Mingwei was so meticulous with her thoughts, when she saw that Wan Rong went to the backyard and held onto the wooden box that Lady Wang had given him, she knew that it was not normal.
Wan Rong knew that he could not hide it from her, and repeated what Nanny Xu had said. Originally, they were worried that Xu Mingwei would get angry after hearing it, but they didn't expect her to actually chuckle.
Is Grandma mad? Wan Rong thought in her heart, but she did not dare to ask, and only held her breath as she listened to Xu Mingwei's instructions.
"You did well. Just as you thought, let Wan Rou open the box and stew the items inside. Remember to put more red dates, so that the smell of the fishy. I do not like to eat these things. It is too cruel to take them, so I will reward all of you. Don't let anyone buy it again. It's not good for people to eat too much. Also, let Nanny Xu take a closer look, we don't have enough items to store, we should eat them earlier. "At home, it's very convenient. Only when you're brought here would you know that it's not easy to put it away."
After Xu Mingwei finished instructing, she remembered that what Lady Wang gave him had not been dealt with, and was casually thrown into the small stove in the teahouse to burn. Such a noble thing was worth ridiculing! However, it was not easy to store it in the ancient times, which showed how difficult it was to find forest frog oil. At her time, a stew would have cost about twenty dollars a week. She had a colleague who liked eating this very much, so she found out about Lil 'Ye's hyperplasia when she checked up afterwards. Although it wasn't a big problem, it was still quite troublesome for a while.
The little episode of the Snow Toad passed by indifferently, Xu Mingwei did not pay too much attention to it. A mother-in-law, no matter how good she was, was still not a real mother. She could just put it to the side and stay away from them. She did not need to hold onto the illusion that they were a family, so she was naturally not that injured.
But in her heart, she was also curious, what did Wang Shi mean by giving her a box of aged Snow Toads in front of so many people? Her family just had a joyous event like what Xu Mingmei had done. Logically speaking, even if the Fu Family wasn't affiliated with the Second Prince's faction, they should still be blessed with something. It was right when they were pressing on her, otherwise, they wouldn't have insisted on following her to the Prince's Mansion. If this wasn't Lady Wang's intention, then who among them had secretly done something to it?
Xu Mingwei shook her head in amusement, thinking that she was probably going to be delusional soon. Fu Ninghui doing this would not benefit her at all, what was she going to do with all this effort?
But what she did not know was that late at night, in the distant courtyard on the other side of the main house, Fu Ninghui asked Jing Ying softly, "Is there any noise coming from Xu Mingwei's side at night?"
Jing Ying shook her head lightly, and replied in a low voice as well, "There's no sound at all. Her courtyard has suddenly tightened up, and the wife that was planted could only wander around the outer sect.
A sneer flashed across Fu Ninghui's face, and she said, "Only now do we know where to put our guard up, but we don't know which one to put our guard against. It was also because of her good luck that she managed to escape last time. Forget it, let this old woman rest. Because of Lv Zhu, even Qing Mei had to go, so as to not arouse her suspicions. This thorn has more or less been planted. I really want to see how long she can keep up with my mother's virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous appearance in front of my brother. "
After Jing Ying received her orders, she turned around and looked at her master who was still holding a book in a daze under the lamp, and sighed. Even they had thought that they would follow this lady to live in the Duke Palaces, but they did not expect that Yang Jinxi, who came out of nowhere, would actually cause them to become confused. How could the girl take back what she had been thinking for so many years?
It was no wonder that the young lady's thoughts had grown so serious over the past few years. Her temper was so weird, but it was all because of the young prefecture lord. Men are really not good things, the mouth to say one set, behind the back of a set, all to coax people to play. For such a good thing, the lady had abandoned the Eldest Princess and the lady of the Xu family. Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned out this way was the result.
It was just that Jing Ying didn't really understand why his master grabbed onto Eldest Young Lady and wasn't willing to let him go. She could only guess that Eldest Young Lady had done something to the young prefecture lord and the Yang family's marriage, if the young lady knew about it.
Jing Ying had only guessed one thing right, but not the other.
Fu Ninghui didn't know that the Lady Helan had tied the strings for the Yang and Ying Families. Since Ying Zixiao had thrown them for her in the garden, Fu Ninghui had always cared about them and had long treated Xu Mingwei as a fake enemy. If no one else wanted to compare, she would have to compare them herself. Especially during the days when she was in the palace reading room, she had always gone to great lengths to create a new life for Xu Mingwei. Xu Mingwei casually received joy from the bystanders, so how could she not be calm?
However, in the end, there was the matter of North Dee asking to marry Eldest Princess in order to negotiate peace. If Eldest Princess wanted to flee to the capital, then there would inevitably be a battle between North Dee and Tianqi. Even Ying Zixiao and the others did not know what they had heard from Xu Mingwei. Not only him, but her brother Fu Heng, who had his eyes set high on the top, praised Xu Mingwei greatly as well. Fighting was not child's play, not to mention the fact that they had not even raised their blades to kill anyone, they had not even personally slaughtered a chicken, how could they kill an enemy and return to their country!?
In desperation, Fu Ninghui revealed the location of the Eldest Princess to his father, Fu Hongbo, in order for her brother and the person she liked to battle. Because of this, not only did she lose a friend from Eldest Princess, but she also lost a friend from the Zhou, Zuo, and Yang families. It was fine if they were scolded, at least Fu Heng and Ying Zixiao stayed in the capital. But he turned around and was about to marry someone else! It was still Yang Jinxi! Even the Xu Mingwei she hated the most wanted to marry into her family!
What had she done wrong? Was he going to be so tied up with her? Are all the men in the capital dead? Which one of them is not easy to marry, yet they want to marry into their family?! Fu Ninghui only laughed coldly, she would marry once she was married, but if there was a good day for her, then there wouldn't be a good day for Xu Mingwei!
That night, Fu Heng did not come home, he only asked the old servant of the Qin Jianrui family to deliver a message to him. It was originally the Mr. Daqian who was fond of talented people, and was even happily chatting with them. They were actually unwilling to let him go, and even enjoyed the night while Qin Jianrui and the other two were drinking to their heart's content. Seeing that he wouldn't be able to wake up in a short time, he decided to stay at the old residence of the Qin family. He was afraid that his family would worry, so he sent someone to report.
Xu Mingwei made Wan Rong pack up two sets of clothes, and wrapped them up with the common items that Fu Heng used to use. She also handed over a silver ingot and the old servant to buy some food and wine. Who knew that the old servant would be unwilling, it was only Wan Rong who stopped her that way. She took it, holding it in her hand, she would feel her pockets, then her purse, as if the silver was already burned and was being held in her hands.
Xu Mingwei laughed, "Who knows, I'll have to trouble your family for a few more days, this is drinking and making a ruckus, I can't just let you guys off for nothing. "If you don't accept it, my heart will only be troubled." "
The old servant quickly bowed and said, "But I can't afford that word. Young Mistress can already overestimate Old Li when she calls me Old Li. Thus, the old servant went back to reply to the young master, saying that he had already found out. "
Xu Mingwei thought for a moment, then stopped her, and reminded her, "But when I wake up, I hope that Uncle Li can give me a reminder, saying that the next day, I will be going to the Prince's Mansion to visit the Prince Consort, and ask if I should go with him. "If you're going, come home early."
Old Li answered with a mouthful of food, took a change of clothes and wrapped them with a bag. Then, he was led out of the room by Jade Peaches.
The night passed peacefully. By the evening of the second day, Fu Heng had already returned home. He looked slightly haggard but his eyebrows were flying around and he was extremely happy.
Seeing that, Xu Mingwei laughed, this fellow was enjoying life in Qin Jianrui's home, obviously she was still thinking about her own safety.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" It's not a big deal. It's fine if you continue to be stubborn in the Qin family.
Wan Rong stepped forward to take Fu Heng's clothes, but she blocked his hand and pushed him away. Xu Mingwei curled her lips, went forward to receive the robe, and then turned to squeeze the handkerchief, complaining half-truthfully, "This time, I received a compliment from the Mr. Daqian, and when I came back, even the little girl couldn't take care of me, I had to do it myself."
Fu Heng was amused by her and laughed out loud, but this time he did not even accept the handkerchief, he only closed his eyes and raised his head, waiting for her to wipe it off.
