However, in front of so many people, it was not a good choice for her to drag Fu Heng along, so she could only allow him to do as he pleased. As they walked along with lanterns and lanterns on, the old woman saw them walking hand in hand, and she looked at them in surprise and amusement before turning her head away and snickering. In those days, they had had the same experience.
When he returned to the courtyard, dinner was already prepared. It was a hot day and their appetites were not that good. These few days, Nanny Xu had been thinking about changing the color of the dishes.
Fu Heng saw that there was black plum tofu, rose brine chicken, eight treasures of brewing wine, cold mixed bitter melon and a plate of spicy red sliced beef on the table. He was tired from eating outside at noon. His stomach was empty right now, so he went to the table and ate two bowls of porridge. In particular, the hand soaked in red oil tore the beef, neither old nor young, tasty, with delicious porridge. If you are tired of, also a chopstick cold mixed bitter melon, a spoon of black plum tofu, what acrimony spicy, but these two give a clean mouth.
Seeing that he was still going to fill the third bowl, Xu Mingwei was a little scared, and asked: "Did you not eat well during the day? But at night, it's not good to overeat.
Fu Heng laughed, "It's alright, I drank three jars of wine and a few bowls of white porridge."
Hearing him talk about the old story again, Xu Mingwei retorted, "Are you hungry? Your friends couldn't even coax you to drink? "
Fu Heng listened to her obediently and felt a bit unhappy in his heart. He made a face and said, "Are you saying that my friends are alcoholic friends? You never tried to persuade people to get something good? "
Xu Mingwei then impatiently coaxed him, and said coldly, "Since there's nothing wrong with that, I'll just ask you a question, but you're getting angry with me. I don't care about anything else, I only have two things to tell you. Secondly, my Fifth Sister has come over today. Tomorrow at noon, my brother-in-law will ask you to bring anyone you call over to play with him. "Well, if you don't feel good about interacting with him, you should just give me face and take care of the marriage relationship. Just socialize with him for a bit."
Fu Heng actually knew about Pei Fangtong. Originally, it was a good family, but due to bad luck, they caught up to the disturbance and taught the people to copy their property. Even though Master Pei had found a new servant in the capital, one or two years later, it was likely that his family wasn't rich enough. He had also met Pei Fangtong from afar with his seniors. Although he was not considered tall, he could still be considered gentle and pretty. Compared to the rugged and unruly northern men, the southern men seemed to be more refined and reserved. The beauty that was lacking was that their heads were often lacking.
However, in general, Fu Heng had a good impression of Pei Fangtong. After hearing Xu Mingwei's words, he felt that it was unreasonable and smiled, "That's not difficult, I'll go call Yuan Shan and the rest tomorrow. I wonder what financial situation Brother-in-law is at home right now?"
Xu Mingwei shook her head and said, "In the afternoon, Fifth Sister only came for a short while. I don't know what kind of person Brother-in-law is. He only knew that the spring did not fare well in the previous exam. He originally planned to settle in the capital, and followed him back to his hometown for some reason. This time, he must have made up his mind to take root in the capital. I saw that Fifth Sister did not mention my Fourth Uncle, and you met with Brother-in-law tomorrow, so let's not talk about this anymore. "
Fu Heng nodded, and said, "Truly, every family has its own problems. "I remember what you were busy with at home today."
Xu Mingwei laughed, "Regarding my daughter's family, even if I told you, it would be meaningless."
However, Fu Heng was not willing to rest. Xu Mingwei could not hold it in and explained, "What else can we do. My mother sent some petals over. The sky has been getting brighter over the past few days so I managed to get the Little girl! Little girl to make some cosmetics for me, saving me the trouble of buying them outside. "
Fu Heng knew that she had his own habits for making rouge powder, so he laughed: "Why do you have to go so far? If you use money, what can't you buy outside?"
Xu Mingwei felt that it was too hot to push him away, and said indifferently, "Just tell me about your daughter's family situation, and you will not understand. I gave my cousin a box of the last powder I made, and when I went out I asked for it. What you sell outside is good. "
Fu Heng laughed, "Since it's like this, you can give me a few boxes after you cook."
Xu Mingwei snorted, "I still need you to tell me, I and Mom would have already sent it over long ago.
"Look, the people at the front are boasting that they can't compare to yours."
Xu Mingwei smiled and did not speak. Men really didn't know how to dress. Née Wang felt that the powder had faded. It was because there were some faint spots on her face, but she had to cover it with lead powder to make her face seem even whiter. In fact, after using that powder for so long, the spots would become even heavier. The powder made by the Xu family was lacking in concealment and penetration, but it was used to support people. The more they used it, the smoother their skin became.
Seeing that she had stopped talking, Fu Heng felt bored and changed the topic, "Are you feeling well today that you saw Mother? "I went to the courtyard, but before I even got there, I was beaten back by Xue mama. She said that the wind had picked up again."
Xu Mingwei nodded her head, "Mother's illness is not something that can be cured in a day or two, but it's a pity that she can't take it all in, it's just that she suffered greatly."
Fu Heng sighed, "This is something that even if I take out the money, I won't be able to exchange it for. "I'd like to go in my mother's stead. When I was young, I often heard Xue mama say that the problem with this wind was something my mother fell sick of after giving birth to me. It's never been better."
Xu Mingwei said, "If it really was you, Mother would have felt sorry for you again. I told my mother a different story and didn't know if it would work or not. Looking at my mother's expression, I could only half-believe and half-doubt. Why don't you take the prescription and ask a doctor you know and persuade your mother to join you? As a person who has children, seeing that his parents can't be separated even though they have suffered. It is also a matter of uneasiness in his heart. "
Fu Heng became curious and asked her to write something down, he realised that she only wanted some white wine and walnuts, and laughed: "No wonder mother is unwilling to believe, it's absurd for you to teach me this."
Although he said this, he still carefully folded the prescription. However, there was still a glimmer of hope that he could try.
It was a warm night until daybreak. Xu Mingwei had been waiting for Fu Heng to put on his clothes and go out early. His waist was still extremely sore, and he didn't care about Wan Rong and the others calling him breakfast. In the middle of the day, the room became even hotter, which made her unable to sleep, so she asked for water to get out of bed.
Wan Rong half complained, "No matter how tired Grandmother is, she still needs to fill her stomach to make up for her sleep. "This way of sleeping is a serious injury to your body."
Wan Rou, who was at the side, laughed and joked, "Listen to this. If you don't know, just think that Madam is here."
Wan Rong blushed red at her words, and retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting, nothing small."
It was only then that Wan Rou realised that she had compared to the wrong person, but luckily Xu Mingwei did not care, and took off the lid of the bowl, bringing a cup of sugar bird's nest inside, she asked curiously, "Why do you only eat this early in the morning?"
"There was originally something else, but when I saw you in the morning, I said that you were tired and told the Nanny Xu to change to some other body tonic. It just so happens that the bird's nest sent out last night was stewed together with you. "
Xu Mingwei cursed in her heart. This bastard just happened to be able to put some cold porridge on the table and gulp it down after a few mouthfuls.
Wan Rong and Wan Rou were laughing by the side. Wei Bao, who was sitting on the roof, looked down when he heard the laughter, but did not understand what was so funny. When she came back to his senses, he saw the snowball and the rice ball sitting next to her. He did not know when the snowball came up.
It just so happened that Xu Mingwei asked from below, "Why didn't we see the snowball and the others today, did they go out to play in the courtyard?"
Wan Rong was also confused, "I heard a cat meowing just now, and I even looked down the window, but I didn't see anything."
Wei Bao looked at the snowball, then at the rice balls, and discussed with them in a soft voice, "A fish, are you guys going down?"
The snowball wagged its tail lazily, but the rice ball meowed childishly.
Wan Rong raised her head and saw the two cats on the roof. She was shocked and asked, "Wei Bao, what are you doing up there?"
Wei Bao scratched his head. Wasn't it annoying to stay down there and tell them that he wasn't going to bring up jewelry and makeup? Thanks to these two cats, she could only dejectedly descend from the house.
Xu Mingwei did not mind, for this era to be able to live so recklessly, it was truly enviable, and she only said, "If you like to stay there, then stay, and don't fall down."
The big granny was nice and beautiful, every time she was confronted with her, she would not do anything wrong. Wei Bao also felt that there was nowhere to put his hands and feet, and did not even dare to speak loudly anymore.
"In the next few days, there will be an ancestral temple for the ancestors to open. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the yard and get the gold foil. Everyone, you can break it while it's cold, so that your hands won't sweat until they're covered in paper." Xu Mingwei said to everyone.
"Isn't there something for sale out there? "When I was young, I had to pay a thousand gold coins for someone else's house."
Wan Rong laughed, "Those who are sincere are all unwilling to use the other's discount. Furthermore, it is the Zhongyuan Festival that pays respects to the ancestors, and only members of their own family have the honor of breaking it with their own hands. "
She still had some words that she kept hidden in her stomach. Especially with a new wife like Xu Mingwei, the more paper money the more the treasures the better. Only then would she be able to win the heart of his wife, and also show a bit of sincerity at home.
Peaches acknowledged and helped clear out a round table with a few cups of tea. Wan Rou specially gave everyone a clean piece of cotton cloth, which was used to wipe their hands and soak in their sweat.
