He ignored her for a moment and talked to Zuo Youzhu herself.
Yang Jinxi sighed, went close to Xu Mingwei's ear and whispered, "If it's like this, then it's boring, so just take it as a walk in the park.
Xu Mingwei smiled and nodded, "I have been like this for a long time now."
At this time, the wife came again to pass on the news, it was Xu Mingwei's family members. Entering the door, they only saw her elder sister-in-law Ning's, which startled Xu Mingwei, and asked: "Why did you come back to the capital? Didn't you go with my brother to take over the post? I've never heard my mother talk about it.
The Ning's smiled gently and replied, "I received a letter from my mother in May saying that she was feeling unwell. He thought that if he hurried home, he might be able to catch up with you. Your big brother was also worried about me, and hated that he couldn't leave so easily, so he hired someone to send me back. Firstly, you can show your filial piety to all your children, and secondly, you can make your big brother feel at ease. I have also had my own selfish thoughts and have not seen Brother Sheng for a long time. At night, I often dream of him crying and looking for his mother. This time, I saw it. Letting mother carry it was also very good. It was a solid looking, able to hit and fall. Even if I brought it myself, I'm afraid there won't be a mother. "
Xu Mingwei thought for a while before realizing that she was talking about the Lady Helan at the start, and her own mother, Yang Liu Jushi at the end. Her own mother was not well, but only her mother-in-law knew about it. Even if the people from Uncle Ning's Mansion did not cherish his children's affection, it could still be seen. She then asked the Ning's, "Then when Eldest Sis came back this time, did you go back to visit? Is Aunt still healthy?"
Ning's frowned and sighed, "Good or bad is just like that. My mother's character, no matter who it was, would not listen to their advice. It was all due to her temperament and preferences, but being able to listen to the words of a few doctors wouldn't make it difficult for them."
Xu Mingwei couldn't help but ask the Uncle Ning's Mansion's Mistress what was wrong with her, and after smiling to comfort her, he led her to meet everyone in the house.
Yang Jinxi and the others had long heard of the name of Yang Liu Jushi, or to be more precise, worshiped him. However, when a new poem about a new poem spread outside, they wanted to specifically transcribe it and put it away properly. Now that she did not see the real person nor her daughter, she was overjoyed. She no longer cared about the longevity stars as she completely surrounded Ning's.
Ning's had never been praised so highly before, so naturally she was happy in her heart, but she felt that this trip was not wrong, and actually made a few friends. When it came to poetry, it was also extremely elegant.
Not long after, Wang Shi's wife came to urge him, saying that it was already prepared outside, and the guests had also gradually come to invite her, the main guest, over.
The Ning's replied, "Since that's the case, let's not delay any further. We should head there earlier."
Everyone nodded, all of them holding hands, only Fu Ninghui was left behind, no one accompanying him. Ning's did not know the contents of the letter, but looking at how everyone hated each other, she knew that there was a reason, so she did not act like a good man, and followed Xu Mingwei closely.
Entering the hall, Xu Mingwei saw the Lady Helan on the seat of honor, and a look of joy crossed her face. Fortunately, she still remembered the rules and calmly walked closer. She first greeted Lady Wang, then greeted the other wives who came to congratulate her, then stood behind Lady Wang.
County Princess looked at her in pity. She was such a good child, but she had no fate with her family. So he stopped thinking about it and just smiled as he praised, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are really getting more and more handsome. This daughter-in-law of yours is really making people jealous. "
Lady Wang was inwardly amused, but still acted dull on the surface. She turned around and replied, "She's a little girl, it's not good for you to praise her like that."
This is the first time that the Duke of Qing saw Xu Mingwei, she didn't even see enough for a long while, then pulled the person in front of him while laughing and shaking her head, "This old granny is becoming more and more unwelcome in the capital. If only she had known that the Xu family had such a good child, she would have lined up at your house ten years earlier! There's nothing left for a mother-in-law like you to do. "
Everyone laughed at her words, Lady Wang became even more proud and pulled at Countess Qing's hand. "Even if you were ten years earlier, you still wouldn't be able to do it." You don't know, this child is fated to be with my family. When he was five years old, he was already decided to be with my family. "
The Duke of Qing's wife still didn't understand, spitting, "You're just boasting. How could you have set it up at the age of five? What fate did you say you have with your family? "
Only then did Lady Helan smile and answer, "That is true. If it wasn't for Heng Ge'er coincidentally saving Wei'er that year, such a marriage wouldn't have been possible. "
When everyone heard this, they wanted to know everything. Lady Helan then explained the whole thing, saying, "The two children have such a reason, when our two families saw it, it matched it, so we made this marriage."
Listening to the elders talking about his marriage, Xu Mingwei had to pretend that she was embarrassed. She could only lower her head and hide behind Lady Helan, making Duke Qing's wife look at her with both pity and love.
That bracelet was something she always wore, and it wasn't something she had worn to reward people. Xu Mingwei immediately pushed his hands away, and said, "I can't do that, it's too precious."
However, the Duke of Qing's wife didn't want to do so, so she smiled and said, "The elder's bestowal can't be denied. Since you've heard these words, then you should obediently accept them. "It's not that amazing. The old woman has been wearing it for quite some time, and looks a bit older. If you don't like it, you might as well hate it."
Xu Mingwei secretly glanced at Lady Helan and Lady Wang's expressions, seeing the two of them nodding at her, she relaxed and thanked the Duke of Qing, "This bracelet is stained with your good fortune, it's too late for Mingwei to put it on, how can she reject it."
"It's a good thing that I'm not strong enough, and this bracelet is perfect for you. Only by voting for you will you be able to be upright and honest, you see how beautiful it is."
Everyone looked up and saw that the piece of jade was extremely smooth and exquisite. Just this quality alone was extremely rare. If they really wanted it, they would need at least a few hundred taels. Since ancient times, there was a price for gold. Jade stones were priceless. It was even harder to find a person who had been nurturing like this for forty to fifty years.
The County Princess laughed, "The old madam's good start has really forced us juniors to death. With a mountain like you in front of us, we can only lie down and don't move. "
Hearing this, everyone laughed again. The Duke of Qing spat at her, "At an old age, an old woman like to look at fresh little girls. If they don't wear these jewels, wouldn't it be a sin for them to wear them? "Today, we are all here to pay our respects to others. You better not hide all of the good stuff. If you all take it out, it will open the eyes of others."
Everyone knew that she was joking, but they also seriously told Xu Mingwei to sit in the hall, and then took their leave to go forward and change her makeup. There were those who brought rings on her finger, those who wore gemstones around her neck, and those who stabbed their feet into her head … There was no place to wear jewelry anymore, so he could only give it to Xu Mingwei as a form of ceremony.
In the end, it was Lady Helan's turn. She read the female ring in public, and then used the ruler to point at Xu Mingwei's forehead, shoulders, and hands. She had to be cautious when taking it, and carry the burden of her family. It was not nice to talk about it, so she always used a trick to touch her forehead when saluting.
This could be considered a form of courtesy. Lady Helan and Lady Wang looked at each other and laughed. The gift today could be considered as something worthy of respect, but seeing how much jewelry Xu Mingwei had on her body, it was obvious. As a result, the guests were invited to the banquet. The two of them sat together, and for a while, they chatted and laughed merrily.
Xu Mingwei's head and body were heavy. Since it was against the customs, she could not take it now. Only with Wan Rong's help could she fill her stomach.
After three rounds of drinking and everyone was tired from their meals, Lady Wang brought them to the pavilion to watch the show. Lady Helan was at the back, laughing at Xu Mingwei, he covered her mouth and laughed, "Now you are not taking advantage of the fact that there are more people to escape, when are you going to hide? "He's also a fool. How can she let go of something that has just been smashed in the head?"
Xu Mingwei was close to tears. Shouldn't you have told her about this from the beginning? With the reminder, she decided to walk slowly. While no one was looking, she let Wan Rong take the chance to pick a few hairpins off her hair. She quickly took off the hair on her wrist, immediately feeling more relaxed.
Ning's saw everything clearly and could not help but laugh. He thought to himself that his mother-in-law was not that scary and was very narrow-minded when teasing his daughter.
As a birthday star, it was her turn to nod her head. Holding the theater list, she randomly picked a lively "White Snake". Following that was the selection by Lady Wang and the Lady Helan, and they also picked what their daughters liked. While everyone was eating tea, a servant girl brought over some cold fruits and sour plum soup. They took advantage of the pavilion's heat to relax.
Xu Mingwei did not dare take the melon and eat it, for fear that her mouth would be stained with rouge. Wan Rong laughed and said, "I'll cut it into two with a small knife for Grandmother, and use a toothpick to eat it."
Xu Mingwei nodded, "If so, you should be rewarded."
Zhou Ranxing laughed, "I also want to ask for some money as well. Today, with a shake of your body, you look just like Great Sage Sun, it's just that the one I told you about was a little monkey, but before you shook it, it was all just gold and silver."
When Yang Jinxi heard it, she also came to join in the fun, and said, "Since that's the case, let me handle it as well."
