When they were at home, Xu Mingwei had never seen the Central Plains front line being dragged so long. It was around half of July, and the entire family had eaten the Ruyi Eight Treasures Rice, chose the auspicious time to open the Ancestral Hall and offer sacrifices to the ancestors, made some gold coins and drank some water, and then returned to the courtyard to rest early.
Lady Wang saw the curiosity in her eyes, smiled, and explained, "Our family starts from martial general, and is heavily affected by evil. This year's Chinese Festival is more detailed than other families, you only came to the house for the first year, some unknown things I will tell you in detail, broken taboo is not good. Today, my mother is also feeling uneasy, so I won't keep you any longer. When Heng Ge'er comes back in the evening, there's no need to ask him to come to the courtyard and disturb my peace and quiet. "Just remember to remind him. During these few days, you should stop messing around outside and stay home early. Otherwise, you will get blinded by these unpleasantness."
Xu Mingwei nodded her head in agreement. Seeing that Lady Wang was massaging her temples from time to time, making her look really bitter, she asked, "Have you seen a doctor for Mother's illness?"
Lady Wang squeezed out a smile and sighed, "How come I've never seen a doctor before? I've only eaten so many pills and drunk so many soups, yet there's still no effect." This headache comes and goes, it really takes one's life. "
Xu Mingwei said, "My daughter-in-law once heard someone mention a side dish. Using walnut meat to soak in the white wine, then slowly burning it to dry, and finally eating only the walnut meat, it had an effect on one's migraine. I don't know if my daughter-in-law is right or wrong, but maybe next time when the doctor comes by and asks about the safe meridian, mother will ask. "
Lady Wang laughed inwardly. She really was a child, believing in all kinds of unorthodox methods. Her current situation was from when she gave birth to Fu Heng. She had never met any good doctors before, so how could she get sick with just a few pieces of walnut? Even so, he still said to her, "I know you are filial. I'll take a look next time the doctor comes." I have a terrible headache right now, so I won't keep you for dinner. When Heng Ge'er comes home, you must remember to tell him, in case her father gets angry again. "
Xu Mingwei said, "Got it. "Then, your daughter-in-law won't disturb your rest any longer."
Saying that, he followed Silver Red out of the yard. Outside the house, the sun was setting. The setting sun burned the clouds into a crimson red, burning all the way to the horizon. When the onlookers saw it, they felt an indescribably desolate and heroic feeling. Xu Mingwei was dumbstruck for a moment, and then the stone floor started to heat up, as though it was impossible to suppress the heat. She also seemed to be unaware, as she raised her head and stared blankly at the stone.
In the end, Wan Rong still persuaded her, "Grandma, standing like this is like getting hit by the summer heat, why not go back to the courtyard and sit under the eaves and fan yourself, wouldn't that be even more beautiful?"
Xu Mingwei turned around and smiled. The dizziness in her heart had already been removed, and when she looked at the sunset again, it was no longer as hair-raising as before.
Wan Rong was not sure what she meant, but seeing that Xu Mingwei was not walking on the path back to the courtyard, she suppressed the doubt in her heart, and then looked at the familiar wutong tree color gate, which had originally come to visit Master Fang.
"Wait outside. I'll be there shortly." Xu Mingwei knocked on the door, and turned to ask.
After a while, Xiao Tao opened the door and saw that it was her, but he was not surprised, he laughed: "Mister has been talking about Grandma for the past few days, and said that she hasn't come for a long time, but her wings are stiff, so you don't recognize me anymore?"
Xu Mingwei's face revealed a slight smile, and said in a light voice, "How could I dare not come up with something with such a clever mouth? If you do not guard against it, you will become the one who cheated on your master and destroyed your ancestors.
She was about to walk in when Xiao Tao followed behind her. Seeing that Wan Rong did not come in, she knew what was going on and pulled Wan Rong to the tea room. After settling him down, they went back inside.
When the Master Fang heard the door outside, he guessed that she was here. He smiled as he saw Xu Mingwei walk in and joked, "Seems like it was the wind blowing from the east, west, north and south that brought you here, you busybody."
Hearing this, Xu Mingwei laughed bitterly and sat in front of her, saying, "Don't just tease me, why are you so narrow-minded, Sir."
The Master Fang laughed, "Not only not! I'm not making fun of you. You're counting on your fingers. How long has it been since you threw a living person at me? If you don't come, I'll take you for a girl to order around. "
Xu Mingwei said, "It was precisely because this matter was so difficult that I delayed coming to see you. Today, when she saw the sunset in the courtyard, she felt somewhat touched. In this short moment of one's life, all that was burned away was a pile of ashes, and time would not change even if the wind blew on it. I don't want Qing Yang to be buried in the backyard her whole life just because of someone else's fault. It would be fine if she was here. Sir, I believe you have seen it clearly for the past few days. But if I let her out, what chance does a girl who has lost her virginity have in this world? I don't even know. I'm afraid that no matter which way we go, we'll be able to push her into the fire pit. "
Master Fang covered his mouth and laughed, "I said you are stupid, but you are really stupid. When you were thinking about it, did you remember to ask Qing Yang about your own thoughts? One must know that there was still a path in this world that she had chosen to walk. Other people may be looking at the miserable scene ahead, but if you don't want to take the road, you'll be taking the road to prosperity instead. "
Xu Mingwei was startled. Yes, she never remembered to ask Qing Yang about her intentions from the beginning. A rock dropped in her heart as she couldn't help but laugh, "Mister must have already asked her for her intentions, what do you think?"
Master Fang said, "Didn't you get someone to send silver and cotton back to Qing Yang's home a few days ago? She was worried about her home, and asked around. Coincidentally, Xiao Tao happened to pass by and with two messages, he found out that she had a childhood friend at home. Originally, the two families had reached a tacit understanding with each other. When Qing Yang released the marriage agreement, they came to ask for her hand in marriage. Because of this matter, fate seems to be about to end. I guess that you didn't have to disobey her wishes and become her concubine. You just didn't know what your wife was thinking, so you didn't give his a guarantee and only sent someone to ask. However, the big cow was willing, and didn't mind Qing Yang losing her body. "You came at the right time today, I've already scouted the area for you. Let's see if you're willing to give it to someone."
Xu Mingwei said, "My girl, it is naturally up to me to decide. This matter was originally Fu Heng who had let her down, there was no need to ask him, I could already give her the word. Since this matter did not bother the two masters, I will have to trouble Mister to send someone to explain it to them. Tell Da Niu to tidy up the betrothal gift and carry them away from the Xu family estate in the outskirts of the capital. The body contract is still under my control, if Qing Yang doesn't have a good time at his house, you can come back at any time with a bag and bag. "
The Mr. Fang said, "This is great! With your words, I can do it. After the other party sent a message, he would send Qing Yang to the Manor. I can see that she is depressed, it is good to have Xiao Tao to guide her on things here. "
Xu Mingwei thanked him, "Sir, it's good that you don't mind. Did you finish the first few pills? If you don't come in a few days, I wonder if you have enough ice? "
"Don't worry about it. Those few girls of yours also come often, and they never lack anything. You, on the other hand, have to give birth to a half-girl as soon as possible, and help me for a few years while I still have the strength to do so. "In the future when people age, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything even if they wanted to."
When talking about children, Xu Mingwei felt a surge of unnamed depression in her heart. At that time, she only thought it was because of the hot and dry weather. She looked into it seriously. In fact, she had a vague feeling of helplessness. She was still a child, so it was rather scary to have a child.
Master Fang did not notice the knot in her heart, he looked at the sky and asked: "It's time for Fu Heng to come back home, you are not going back?"
Xu Mingwei was annoyed by the thought of him. These past few days, she had been trying to trap his hands and feet. If this were to continue, her stomach would get infected sooner or later.
Just as she was thinking about whether she could stay longer, Master Fang got up and chased her away, saying, "You have a family here, don't dawdle here. Do what you need to do, otherwise, someone will come knocking and hate me."
Xu Mingwei taught her so much that she couldn't speak anymore, and walked out dejectedly. Seeing that, Xiao Tao pulled Wan Rong and laughed: "Grandmother, are you leaving? This slave will send you off. "
Xu Mingwei smiled as she gave way, and said, "There's no need. You went to get your dinner, so don't teach us to delay it. "
Xiao Tao giggled, "It's just a little bit more."
Just as he opened the door and went out, he saw Fu Heng knocking on it. Xiao Tao turned around and said to Xu Mingwei with a wink, "Grandmother, you really are calculating. You really don't need me to send you off.
He then said smilingly, "First Young Master, you came at the right time, and was about to send Grandma out. Then the slave will not follow, and you will take the man. This servant will be going to the kitchen to get dinner. "
Before waiting for Fu Heng to speak, Xiao Tao ran off while grinning. When he turned his head to look at them, he was obviously mocking them for their loving couple, looking for them everywhere even though he hadn't seen them for a while.
Fu Heng's face reddened as he explained, "I didn't see you when I came back, Peaches said you went up to Mother's courtyard. I waited for a while but still didn't see you back. Thinking about it, you probably came to Master Fang on the way here, it's dark now, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to walk properly, so I decided to try your luck on the way here. "
Xu Mingwei was currently impatient for him in her heart, so she only made a sound and lowered her head, not saying a word.
Although he didn't know why, his heart was as sweet as honey. Ignoring the fact that Wan Rong was still looking at him, Fu Heng held her hand and laughed softly, "I'm afraid that you might fall down, so I'll lead you away."
Wan Rong could not hold it in and burst out laughing, causing Fu Heng to glare at her, and immediately turned his head back.
Xu Mingwei laughed in her heart. Did he think that she was still a child that couldn't walk? For such a big person to come and go on the stone path everyday, where would she be dragged onto the verge of falling?
