As per their wishes, the party resumed after a short period of drinking. Fu Heng raised his teacup, and laughed: "Today, I have called everyone here for another matter. Other than Brother Yang and Brother Ying who are married, Yuan Shan and I are the same. In the golden autumn of October, we will be waiting for everyone to show us some respect and come for a goblet of wedding wine. "
Ying Zixiao's hand that was holding onto the cup tightened, the others' faces were also filled with surprise. Mu Qifang asked, "When was the marriage arranged? Why are you in such a hurry? "
Fu Heng said, "Actually, this matter was set early on, it is just that we did not have the good time the previous few times, and did not have the chance to talk about it. Today, everyone is present, so it's not too late to tell all of you. "Brother Yuanshan, you'll have to call me brother from now on."
Qin Jianrui was originally older than him by a year, but teaching Fu Heng how to take advantage of his was just a warm smile and no argument.
Ying Zixiao regained his senses, he raised his cup and toasted to Qin Jianrui: "Since that's the case, congratulations to Yuanshan, I shall toast first."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.
Qin Jianrui also finished his wine and replied, "Thank you."
Yang Tianyuan thought, so that was what Fu Heng had said this morning. He had something he wanted to tell them. If he had known earlier, he would not have brought Ying Zixiao here.
After a feast, Ying Zixiao actually got drunk as he sent him home with a wry smile. Pei Fangtong promised himself that he would return home the next time they would meet.
When Xu Minglan heard from the concierge that the Young Master had returned, she naturally wanted to capture him and ask him about it. As Pei Fangtong rubbed her stomach, he told her something important. Finally, he added, "Brother-in-law is indeed a talented person! Even though he is a little arrogant, it is also due to his true nature. "
When Xu Minglan suddenly heard him praise Fu Heng, she couldn't help but be startled when she remembered the glimpse she gave the Fu Clan when she was young.
Pei Fangtong spoke for a long time, and turned to see her lost in thought, then laughed: "The one to ask me is you, and the one who listens in lazily is you, let it go, I am not listening to your diversions, is the child still obedient today? Have you been kicked? "
Xu Minglan raised her head and looked at Pei Fangtong's face in detail, her heart feeling a little awkward. How could the person in front of him compare to him? In the end, she was still not able to beat Xu Mingwei in terms of fate, so there was no need for his to do anything else.
Even if he was unwilling, he still had to live a good life. Xu Minglan cleared her thoughts, laughed and helped wipe off Pei Fangtong's sweat, pouting, "When you were not at home, he had a bad temper, I took a nap, and forcefully taught him to wake up with a kick."
Pei Fangtong was completely captivated by her flirtatious look. If not for the fact that Xu Minglan was wearing six armors, he really wanted to hug her and kiss his inside.
Seeing his expression, how could Xu Minglan not understand? He covered his mouth and snickered, "What are you thinking about? "Go, go to the courtyard and pour cold water over the fire. Whichever girl you like to go to at night, it will be up to you."
Pei Fangtong smiled and left. Xu Minglan waited for a while, but no one came back, she called Xi Qing to go and see which house they went. Not long after Xi Qing left, she ran back with a blush and refused to speak even if she was asked.
Xu Minglan was suspicious. She called Xi Shi up, but before they could go around the corridor, they heard a voice from around the corner.
"Young master, someone seemed to have come here just now. Let go of that slave and let grandma see it. I will punish you later." Xi Chun stuttered as if he couldn't even speak.
However, Pei Fangtong remained silent, with only the sound of his heavy breathing.
The group of girls all looked at each other, sizing up Xu Minglan's expression, all of them lowering their heads.
Xi Shi was still afraid that Xu Minglan would make a ruckus, and just as he was thinking about how he should advise them, he heard Xu Minglan sneer, "Order the kitchen to send a bowl of iced plum soup over. Someone come, invite a seat for me. This is going to be a good show, how can it not be tiring to stand and watch?! "
Xi Shi looked at each other, and seeing that he could not persuade them otherwise, he decided to follow Xu Minglan's instructions. After a while, he came back with a soft chair.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the wind and rain finally stopped. With a creak, Pei Fangtong opened the door and came out. His face was flushed red, and his clothes were still neat and tidy. Seeing Xu Minglan blocking the door, he asked curiously, "What are you doing here on such a hot day?"
Xu Minglan grinned and said, "On such a hot day, there are also people who don't feel that it's too hot to hug others and be sweating, what's so strange about that."
Pei Fangtong was a little embarrassed, seeing that there was a bowl of plum soup at the side, he smiled and drank it, wiping his mouth, "I'm going to the study, don't wait for me for dinner, eat it yourself first."
Xi Yun felt a chill in her heart, this was what Young Master wanted to do after using it, she would not care about Grandma, and would not care about Xi Chun who was inside. He left straightforwardly, she did not care about what would happen to Xi Chun at all.
Xu Minglan suppressed the anger in her heart, and waited for Pei Fangtong to walk far away before pouting to the woman behind him, and said coldly: "Drag the shameless one out for me, strip off his clothes, and take some water to wash properly. This scent of a fox that soars to the sky!"
Xi Yun wanted to beg for mercy, but Xi Qing held her hands down, shaking her head. As a sister, Xi Chun had long advised her to walk this path, but she refused to listen. She would always be a grandma who took into account their past relationships and allowed her to be a concubine. But in this world, how many people were willing to let others live in this room? Grandmother had changed her temperament quite a bit over the years, but it was impossible to change it deep in her bones. Today was a good day, but what was the love of the past in her eyes? Moreover, Xi Chun wanted to share her husband! She didn't ask for anything in return for this. In the past, it was fine if she didn't seduce the male host. But today, she looked so terrible. Wasn't she smacking his master's face? Even they, who had served together since childhood, didn't have the face to open their mouths and plead for her.
A few of the women had already dragged someone out and left them in the yard. At first, Xi Chun struggled to pull off her clothes to plead with Xu Minglan, but after a while, she shouted until her throat was hoarse, and her hands were not as strong as the rest of the wives.
Xu Minglan looked at it coldly, and his heart was at peace, "Men, bring water to wash off this fox's skin, if not you will attract more people and dirty my courtyard!"
Those few wives who usually disliked Xi Chun and acted like she was some sort of demon were actually calling themselves concubines. At the same time, she brought a few buckets of water from the well and splashed it on Xi Chun's head, causing him to be in a sorry state.
The ruckus in the courtyard quickly attracted the attention of a large group of people. Even the servants were peeking at the wall. Some were unhappy that Xi Chun's chest was not big enough, some were unhappy that her waist was too thick, and some even spoke vulgar words. Xu Minglan frowned, that's why she told the servants to kick him out, but what they should see, the servants had already seen, so they went back to their rooms laughing, their mouths unclean as they spoke loudly. Xi Chun laid on the ground, tears flowing down her face, her heart ashen.
"Alright, I've seen enough of the scenes. "Clean up and disperse." Her son naughtily kicked her stomach again. Xu Minglan consoled her and lost interest as he said this lazily.
Xi Shi walked beside her and carefully supported her. Xi Yun landed behind and stood there looking at the motionless Xi Chun. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up her skirt and covered her naked body.
Xi Chun turned her head in a daze. After thinking for a long time, she finally spoke out, "Do your best."
A sigh, for whom?
After Fu Heng dismissed his seat, the weather became so hot that it made people dizzy. There was nowhere else to go to, so when he remembered Xu Mingwei's orders from yesterday, he decided to return home as soon as possible. Walking along the road, he saw a seller of cold powder. He thought that this thing would suit the scene, so he asked for a serving of it. As if he was a laborer, he stood by the side of the road and smoked it. After consuming the ice-cold bowl of soup, he instantly felt much better. After giving the money, Fu Heng muttered in his heart, this market food, Xu Mingwei probably had never tasted it before, so she asked the person selling the cold powder for a bowl of it, giving him more silver and gold, before heading home.
Fortunately, in the hot summer's weather, all of the servants were taking a nap, other than the gatekeeper, who looked at him suspiciously, Fu Heng did not meet many people along the way. The old woman was taking a nap, barely able to open her eyes when she heard the sound. Seeing that he was back, she quickly unlocked the door and let him in.
The courtyard was cold and deserted. They could only see snowball and rice balls playing in the water beside the pond, and not a single one of the chattering girls was seen. Fu Heng was thinking, could it be that they all went to take an afternoon nap? As he closed the curtain, he realized that the people inside were all hiding. All of them were lying on their backs in disarray as they fanned themselves around the ice cubes to cool off.
Wan Rou was the first to notice him coming in, and immediately tidied up her clothes and greeted him. Wan Rou and the others were also in a mess, and Fu Heng felt that it was too noisy, and waved his hand, "Don't be busy, how are you guys messing around, is Grandma asleep yet?"
Wan Rong's face was slightly red as she replied, "I think it's time to wake up."
Bi Tao, on the other hand, was already laughing in his heart when he saw the bowl in Fu Heng's hand. He had just returned from sending over the pastries in a hurry this morning and had even brought some food out personally.
Fu Heng cleared his throat and entered the house. As expected, Xu Mingwei had already woken up, and was leaning on the couch with her eyes closed.
"Why are you still unwilling to part with me? If you are still tired, then you should just lie down obediently. " Fu Heng smiled as he went forward to grab her fan and began to fan her. His eyes fell on her red, soundly asleep and the more he looked, the more he loved her.
Xu Mingwei smiled as she looked at him, and said indifferently, "Why did you return so early today? I asked the girls to call a bowl of ice cream for you? "
Fu Heng pressed her hand down but it was moist, cool and without sweat. It felt extremely comfortable in his hand and he was unwilling to let it go.
