"Don't ask others to buy it for you in the future, Tie Tou is at home. If you want to buy it, just take the money and ask him to go. Xu Mingwei said indifferently.
Peaches' face reddened. So it turns out that her master had heard all of this. She nodded and said, "This servant will remember this."
When Fu Heng returned home, what he saw was exactly this kind of scene. His wife was squatting on the ground with a bunch of girls, looking at the cats and playing with the fish, her eyebrows raised in delight. Although his appearance was untidy, his appearance was even more heart-wrenching than his usual one. This caused him to be stunned.
Xu Mingwei turned back and glanced at his figure, the smile on his face slowly froze. Wan Rong looked in the direction of her gaze and saw the expression on Fu Heng's face. For a time, only the two of them were left in the courtyard.
"Your Highness did not leave you here this time to accompany me in drinking flower wine?" "I came back early." Xu Mingwei stood up and clapped his hands, scaring the snowball, it stared at her for a while, then started to play with its prey again.
Fu Heng then laughed out loud, and purposely went closer to let her smell the scent on his body, "Xiao Cu Tan, can you smell it clearly, did you smell other people's fat powder?"
Xu Mingwei pushed him away and snickered, "Who cares about the sour smell of your sweat? "Hurry into the house, wipe your face and change your clothes."
Fu Heng was unwilling to leave, he pulled her into his embrace and laughed deeply, "It won't be easy to drive me out. Unless you'd like to help me rub my back. "
In such a sweltering weather, even if he was hugged by the handsome brother, he wouldn't be able to endure for a second. Furthermore, Xu Mingwei was unable to struggle free from him, so he could only nod his head and agree.
As soon as he washed, it was already night and he almost missed dinner.
Wan Rong and Wan Rou, who were both blushing, cleaned up the room. Xu Mingwei pretended not to see it, and carried her bowl with her serious face, but her hands were sore. In her heart, however, she thought that because of this matter, it would be better if she passed her birthday earlier.
Fu Heng had obviously noticed her little trick, and the corner of his mouth rose, grabbing a small red pig-hand into her bowl, he smiled and said, "What are you eating to make up for it, your wife has worked hard."
Xu Mingwei's face froze, and she did not see anything on the table that could help him recover, so she endured it and said, "Thank you."
She finally understood what it meant to be cheap and act good. After thinking about it, Xu Mingwei asked him again, "Today, did you see my father at the Duke's side?"
Fu Heng took another pig's hand and placed it in her bowl, and said, "I saw it, and I said a few words. Old Mount Tai is also in good spirits. You don't have to worry about that. "
Xu Mingwei nodded, and then heard Fu Heng mention it, "I forgot to tell you, your great-grandfather, Old Mr. He Lan, is also here. But not in the guest room, in front of the study. I thought that he had already gone back to the Shadow Mountain and was also very surprised. "
Xu Mingwei said, "I did indeed hear that he wanted to leave, but in the end, there were some problems at the escort company that required his help, so I decided to delay for a while. "My great-grandfather is also an unpredictable person. If you didn't mention it, I would have thought that he had already returned to the Shadow Mountain."
The two of them smiled at each other and changed the topic. They lowered their heads to eat.
After a moment of silence, Fu Heng suddenly raised his head and asked, "How old are the snowball this year? I remember it as if it had been there since you were very young? "
Xu Mingwei taught him to ask and calculated carefully in her heart. Only then did she realise that if the age of snowball was changed into an adult, it would be almost sixty, a perfect generation for his great-grandfather! She should still have about seven or eight years left, right?
"He's almost eleven years old. He's already an old cat."
"It's still looking good in the afternoon." Fu Heng obviously thought of the same question and suggested, "It's a lonely cat, so it's also boring. When the time comes, I'll find a mother for you. Also, call the snowball a pair, and you'll feel lonely. "
Xu Mingwei stared at him, thinking to herself, is everyone like him? snowball had been single for so many years, yet they had never seen anything unusual about the two seasons, nor did they run away with their mother. At the same time, she suspected that there was something wrong with the snowball's function. It was reasonable to say that male cats that had not been castrated were easily lost in the spring and autumn.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that Fu Heng's idea was not bad.
"The capital buys these, is it troublesome? Back then, at Uncle Sixth Sister's house, I heard that she spent a lot of effort to find the snowball. " Xu Mingwei asked.
"It's not difficult. These toys were all raised by aristocratic families, so ordinary people would naturally find them hard to come by. It just so happens that I have a classmate who has done this before. I turned around and asked him, and if there's anything that's suitable, he'll stay with me. " Fu Heng laughed.
Xu Mingwei had originally thought that he had only said that on the morning of her birthday, June 19th, Fu Heng had brought a snowball in a basket and given it to her.
The exact same mandarin duck eyes, the exact same long white fur. However, snowball 2.0 was only four months old now, so when he chased after the snowball and bit down on its tail, it looked like a female cat playing with a kitten. It was hard to imagine the scene where the two of them were going to give birth to a kitten in the future.
Originally, Xu Mingwei was worried that the snowball would be angry from Cat's arrival. Unexpectedly, the two little fellows got used to each other well. After smelling each other's scent for the first time, they quickly embraced and played with each other.
"The snowball's temper is really good, and she was even willing to bring a rice ball to play. I was originally afraid she would beat up the kitten." Although the coming of age ceremony was only held at noon, Xu Mingwei had already finished breakfast, and was already sitting in front of the mirror and allowing Wan Rong to take care of her makeup. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the snowball sitting on the stool, swinging its tail from time to time. The rice ball underneath was stretched out its hind legs, and it used its front paws to flop its tail, looking like it was about to grab it and bite it. However, it was too short, and could not reach it after a few tries. Its hurried and foolish expression, on the other hand, met with the snowball carelessly, truly made people laugh.
When Wan Rong heard it, she smiled but did not reply. But in his heart, she thought that the snowball probably treated the rice ball as a toy and didn't take it to heart.
He was able to comb his hair for a while, so Wan Rong took out a small mirror and looked at the back of Xu Mingwei's body, so that she could see the image of her back clearly through the copper mirror.
"Grandma, what do you think?" Wan Rong asked softly.
Xu Mingwei looked at the mirror images in detail. It was a blur, but she could only barely make out the golden light on top of her hair, which was stuck full of hairpins given to her by various families. According to the customs of the Tianqi, when a girl was fifteen years old, a close family would send a custom-made hairpin for her daughter. A poor family would give their daughter a custom-made hairpin with only a strand of silver in it, and most of the copper hairpins would only be made out of wood, while the more decent family members would get, the more money they would get, and the richer their blessings would be.
Fortunately, her daughter's hairpin was not as heavy as it usually was. It was only a thin hairpin that weighed no more than ten dollars. Otherwise, according to the Xu family's position in the capital, Xu Mingwei would have a head on him.
Fu Heng was originally looking at the snowball catching rice balls with his tail in an interesting manner, but when he heard the sound of the fish turning back to look at her, he looked surprised. He took a deep breath and said, "So many hairpins, how many have they lost? "It looks scary."
He swallowed the rest of his sentence and kept it to himself, like a hedgehog with countless golden needles in black dough.
Wan Rong immediately replied, "We can't go any further, these are all rules passed down from our ancestors, the more, the better."
Fu Heng tried to recall whether or not he had also combed his hair into such a strange bun when he was 15 years old last year.
Xu Mingwei saw that she had eaten a turtle meat from Wan Rong's side, and laughed secretly, but said: "If you find it eyesore, then you don't need to look at the back, it will only take place around noon, it's good as long as you pass."
Fu Heng laughed and gave way, "Forget it, I'll go to the study room to hide myself. When the guests are here, I'll use the little girl to call me."
As a young man, he had many guests in his inner chamber. He didn't need to go to his study today, so it was good to stay in seclusion. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to stay in his room. Xu Mingwei instructed the younger Qing Yang, "Follow me, serve the tea, and don't make me starve and thirst for it. is keeping a close eye on the door to prevent customers from charging in. "
Qing Yang accepted the assignment and went back with a smile. Wan Rong laughed, "My grandmother was biased, but she did a light job with Sister Qing Yang."
Xu Mingwei stared at her, then pointed, "It's not impossible for me to exchange you two, I'm afraid someone will not be able to stay idle, and refuse to go."
Wan Rou also laughed at the side, "If you change me, I won't, I'm waiting for my grandma to give me the silver."
Wan Rong spat, and laughed: "You bad girl, you actually helped Grandma to make a fool of me, I will ignore you from now on, and help you take revenge for you!"
Wan Rou immediately begged for mercy as she laughed merrily in the room. The old granny who was outside came in to pass on the news happily, "Congratulations, granny! The third young mistress of the Pei household is waiting outside.
Xu Mingwei got Peaches to take the bounty and hand it over to the woman. She almost did not react to who the third young mistress was and was overjoyed upon hearing it, "Invite someone in quickly."
After the old woman received the red packet, she weighed it in her heart. There were at least five large coins inside, making her look even happier. She said respectfully, "Grandmother, please wait a moment. This old servant has brought someone in."
Not long later, the old woman actually brought Xu Minglan back. Without waiting for Xu Mingwei to send her off, she obediently covered the door and left.
Xu Mingwei did not have the time to care about her, her eyes stared straight at Xu Minglan as she sighed, "This time, Sister Lan returned to the capital, why didn't she inform her sisters?
