C166 Housekeeper Mingwei, Mid-Autumn Festival (1)

Fu Heng thought that since he was looking at her, it would be hard for Xu Mingwei to relax. He smiled and stood up, then turned to Wan Rou and instructed, "I will leave Grandma in your care.

Wan Rong agreed with a smile on her face as she sent him out.

Xu Mingwei was annoyed, "Laugh at me today, tomorrow I will look for a marriage for you guys, and we will see who laughs at who."

Wan Rong was so scared that she quickly said she didn't dare, she swore to be an old lady and wasn't willing to marry anyone. However, Wan Rou's cheeks were burning red, she was too embarrassed to look at her. Xu Mingwei had some confidence in herself, so she sent Wan Rong out, leaving him to ask some questions.

"Tell me honestly, have you taken a fancy to them?"

Wan Rou quickly raised his head and looked at her, then shyly lowered his head. After a moment, she said, "It's Brother Tie Tou. I just didn't ask him what he meant, and I don't know if he was willing or not. "

Xu Mingwei thought that this was quite a coincidence, she had not seen it that many times, both inside and out. But it's better for a man to marry a woman than for a blind man to marry her, so she promised, "What do you mean? Do you want me to ask for you, or do you want me to ask for you? "

Wan Rou was no longer shy and said, "This one will ask about my marriage. If grandmother is willing, then this servant will be satisfied. "

As for the girl who sold the death contract, the master was in charge of the marriage. In other words, no matter who Xu Mingwei wanted Wan Rou to marry to, she had to marry whoever. A big girl like her might get a little face in front of her master, but a girl like Xu Mingwei, being able to pick her own people was something that was rarely seen.

Wan Rou thought about it in her heart, and she became more dedicated to it. She taught Wan Rong to see it, and also made fun of it twice. In the past few days, she had estimated that Xu Mingwei's mental strength was lacking, and was unwilling to take this kind of idle business to disturb her peace and quiet, and after seeing her again, she decided to ignore her face, and went to the outer court to block Tie Tou's way to ask for her marriage.

He didn't want to go today with joy and happiness, but he returned with a frown and a bitter face. Seeing that her expression was not good, Wan Rong and the rest did not want to bother with her, as they looked towards the window in a daze.

Seeing that, Xu Mingwei had a plan, and it was most likely that she was rejected. In his heart, she did not understand, for a talented person like Wan Rou, to be able to stand out amongst the girls. If he said that she was a little old, then Tie Tou herself was not young, how could she not be successful? Did he already have someone in his heart?

However, Xu Mingwei had taken care of this matter. It was close to the middle of autumn, and she did not look for trouble, but instead found one.

Ever since Lady Wang had eaten white wine and walnuts, her head was feeling much better. Dr. Wu advised her after looking at it a few times, to shake off those who had the ability to do so. Careful and quiet recuperation, maybe even a year of nourishment. Lady Wang had also lived through many years, and had gone through too much suffering. When she heard this, how could she not follow suit? Thinking about it, all of the three rooms in the second house in the house would not be able to return even if they saw something. Calling them their stewards was the same as beating a dog with a meat bun. But to call Fu Ninghui over, and if she still continued to restrict his movements, she would not be able to use them. Based on her calculations, only Xu Mingwei could use it. All day long, she seemed to be someone who kept a low profile, but she did not know how the steward and the Lady Helan had been teaching him. Hence, she made up her mind. She would use the Mid-Autumn Festival as a test to see what Xu Mingwei could do before making a decision.

Xu Mingwei took over the job of being a manager in Mid-Autumn, counting her fingers, it had only been about ten days, so she was not in a hurry. She asked the Wang clan for the books from the past year, and in the afternoon, he summoned the steward's wives, asking Wan Rong and the others to arrange for the records of the household chores, and who would manage them. They would do it according to the books this year, and each of them would take up a job on their own. She calculated the amount of money she would have to spend in one afternoon and asked Mrs. Wang about it in a new book, but there would be more to add to the previous year's list.

Mrs Wang nodded to herself. To be so dexterous on the subject, it was likely that she was close to doing the same on the matter at the side. So he told Nanny Xue to open the chest and order some silver coins to give to her, and see how this Mid-Autumn Festival was going.

Xu Mingwei could guess what Wang Shi meant. Regardless of the butler, she did not lack money. However, this action meant that she had truly taken root in the Fu Family. In the future, even if she loved them, she would not have to suffer so much.

Over the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were two things that mattered the most. One was a crab, and the other was a mooncake, which was an essential ingredient in saving energy. Xu Mingwei looked at the crabs that the Fu Family bought in the middle of autumn last year that were bought from the outside world, and thought that since there were crabs in the paddy fields in her village, they were extremely plump. She decided to set aside this purchase to save her wives from bullying him and using dead goods to fool her. She didn't want to end up in trouble.

It turned out that the Old Ma, who was in charge of selling crabs in the past, had obtained this oily errand due to her relationship with the Second Branch Lady Jiao. Just buying one in Mid-Autumn's account would be enough to spend for half a year.

Xu Mingwei, who had just taken up her position, immediately took off the pancakes in her hands. Old Ma was not willing to rest at all, and immediately went to the courtyard of the Lady Jiao.

Lady Jiao was already dissatisfied with Xu Mingwei taking the Fu Clan's account book for the first time. After hearing Old Woman Ma's exaggeration, she immediately jumped into Xu Mingwei's courtyard.

Lady Jiao was halfway there, but she gradually calmed down. When she glanced at Old Woman Ma from the corner of her eyes, she thought to herself that she had almost gotten someone to use her as a gun, but since she was already here, she didn't want to turn back. Her mind was spinning faster, this time it would be better to test Xu Mingwei, if he did not coax her, coaxing her to join him, wouldn't that be perfect?

After making up his mind, when Lady Jiao entered the room and saw that Xu Mingwei still hadn't said anything, she smiled and affectionately held Xu Mingwei's hand, laughing, "A few days ago I heard that you were sick, my room was always busy, but I didn't manage to spare any time. How are you doing now?"

Xu Mingwei was completely confused by her actions, but seeing the old lady Ma following behind, she had a idea, she had found someone to help her. Then she laughed, "Thank you Second Aunt for your concern, but the heat has evaporated. After resting for a while, nothing much happened. "I haven't seen you very often in Mother's Courtyard these days, I guess you really are busy."

The Lady Jiao told her that she had hit a soft nail on the head and she felt a bit sad. She had forgotten about the matter from the beginning and happily picked it up again, saying, "Aunt heard that you entered a square, and now even your wife's headache has improved. You really are a filial child. I know I'm lazy, but I actually entrusted such a troublesome and trivial matter to you. Aren't you afraid that I'll make a mistake when you're new to the family and that you're not used to it? For a meticulous child like you, wouldn't you want to blame yourself for being wronged? "

With that said, Lady Jiao was confident that Xu Mingwei would understand. Unexpectedly, she raised her head and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt. As juniors, our seniors are sick, and we cannot serve them. Thus, we feel very uneasy in our hearts. Those who could relieve the worries of their elders naturally had to do their best. If they were trapped because of a little difficulty, what kind of filial piety would they have then? Although Mingwei wasn't talented, she was taught at home, and with the help of her mother's mother, there was probably nothing much for her to do. "Yesterday, when Mingwei had just come out from Mother's courtyard, the general matters had already been settled and the booklet had already been prepared. Mother had also checked and approved it, so we can just follow the booklet."

Lady Jiao was shocked, she had paid so much attention to this matter and even sent people back and forth, but she had only accepted the assignment for two days, how could she decide on the rules so quickly?! She couldn't help but suspect that she was bragging because she was afraid that she would forcefully interfere. Was that why she was bragging like that?

Looking at her eyes, Xu Mingwei could tell that Lady Jiao did not believe everything she said, she smiled and advised, but to see how she would make her move.

Lady Jiao thought for a moment, then laughed, "I never expected us to have such a capable person. Look at him, not only is he good-looking, he also knows how to read and write, and even the butler is an expert. This sister-in-law of mine is truly fortunate. "

Xu Mingwei laughed embarrassedly, and said modestly, "Aunt is too kind, don't kill Mingwei now."

The Lady Jiao continued, "I was originally thinking that you might have some difficulties, but I just happened to have some free time now. Since you are willing to do it yourself, this old woman will not get in the way. "

Xu Mingwei smiled and said, "Mingwei understands Aunt's good intentions. "This is the first time Mom has said something and done it with me. If I find Aunt to help me, I will reveal my dissincerity and displeasure, otherwise, Mingwei would also have had this intention."

Lady Jiao cursed in her heart. This little fox! She had to smile and say, "Today, other than the one just now, there is another one. This old sister of mine has been doing her family's crab business every year, and I don't know how this year alone is going to end up like this. As for her, she is also an honest person. Afraid that she has offended her new grandma, she panicked and found my way to find out what's wrong. If anything bad is going to happen, you can scold her in front of me. "
