C168 Bringing the He Family together in Mid-Autumn Festival (Part I)

After Lady Wang heard the letter, her eyes reddened. She secretly wiped away the tears with a handkerchief and sighed. "This child's life is miserable. He's only been living a few days in our family, but I'm sorry for her early mother."

Nanny Xue and Fu Heng immediately tried to coax her, causing Lady Wang to reveal a smile, but before they knew it, she continued, "She's old, and likes to look back. Before your aunt had even gone out, she was like your cousin. She was delicate and delicate, and didn't even dare to speak loudly. When she laughed, she seemed to be afraid of something. I'm especially afraid of thunder. When it comes to a thunderstorm, you will come to my room and drill... When I went out, she cried like a tearful person and asked me who she should go to when the thunder strikes … Unexpectedly, she left half a year later and got married in the distance. Two years later, she sent a message, and they were separated by heaven. I didn't even see her for the last time … "She's the only one with such bone and blood left in this world. As an aunt, I don't have the time to look after her, so she's floating outside right now."

Fu Heng was afraid that she would be hurt again, so he looked at Nanny Xue and made his stop.

The letter that Lian Qiubai wrote to Xu Mingwei was actually more or less the same, it was just that the way she spoke was more casual and she put all of her sour thoughts into the letter, telling everything.

Xu Mingwei had seen it, and was afraid that Fu Heng would accidentally flip it over in the future and disappoint her. As a result, she took the letter and burned it in the tea room, in case her family saw something bad.

The days passed in a short while, but in the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, the whole family bathed and changed into new clothes.

Xu Mingwei had been busy ever since morning, the kitchen was busy, all of them accompanied by festivals to send her off, all of them couldn't leave her alone. Fu Heng felt a headache just watching from the side, but with regards to the harem, even if he wanted to help, he could not, and instead added fuel to the fire. Xu Mingwei then chased him to the study room, saving him from being stuck in the courtyard, which made it hard for the girls to enter and leave.

After a busy lunch at noon, everyone had a quick lunch and heard her master's grandson deliver crabs. The twenty baskets of Green Foot Cream Crabs were all tied up with straw, and no matter which cage was opened now, they would all be breathing white foam, no matter how fresh it was.

Old Lai's family then made everyone carry him to the kitchen. After eating crabs for so many years, there was finally a year left for everyone to talk about. The people from Old Lai's family were also more cautious. Right now, the families only had two people to handle the items. They were all supervising each other and trying to prove themselves, but they hadn't used this method yet in the kitchen. Therefore, he gathered all the servants in one place and explained the pros and cons clearly. Even if there was anything he could use, it would require at least two people to let him go.

After the previous incident in the large kitchen, they no longer knew about the dangers in Xu Mingwei's house. Even if they felt that it was troublesome, they still nodded their heads in agreement, not daring to disobey. Fortunately, Old Man Li's family had this kind of thought. Old Madam Ma came into the kitchen in the afternoon, taking advantage of someone accidentally coming into the room. She had wanted to coax the little girl to open the door. The girl saw that she was alone and didn't know what she wanted, so she went to call for the steward. Old Mrs Ma did not dare to continue pestering him. She hurriedly found an excuse and left.

That girl was also new here. She didn't know who Old Madam Ma was. When it was time to prepare the meal, he mentioned it to the others and was seen through by others. He smiled and said, "Luckily you didn't let her in. Otherwise, this house would have been filled with live crabs and seedlings."

Someone explained on the side, "That woman belongs to the second wife. Everyone has their own troubles in the past, so they don't dare to tell others about it." Now that she had been stopped by the Eldest Young Lady, her heart was filled with hatred and panic. Who knew what kind of disaster she might face. You didn't let her in, but you saved me and you from robbing the latrine at night. "

Madam Ma's thoughts were exactly as that person said. After getting robbed by Xu Mingwei, and the Lady Jiao wasn't willing to help her take the lead, how could she take this lying down? If you don't want me to feel better, then I will make things difficult for you. He secretly got some laxatives to disperse in the water tank. It was only a small amount, but it wouldn't even taste good in the water. However, because the entire family was going to eat crabs tonight, it was already a cold dish. Furthermore, there was also a greasy dish, and there was also a mooncake that was not easy to cure. With these as the primer, why would they worry about not being able to get any symptoms?

The first time the new mistress took charge, she made the entire family's latrine come into contact with incense. If word of this got out, she would die of laughter. In the future, there would be no place for her in the family anymore. Madam Ma inwardly thought about how there were so many people going around in the kitchen. Even if she was found out later, it would only be a matter of a few staff punishments. Then, how could he not bet on the loss of his new grandma?

However, he did not expect the big kitchen to be like an iron bucket, preventing anyone from entering. For a moment he was both angry and resentful, so he had to walk through the hall and return to the large courtyard.

As a precaution, the kitchen manager had specifically told the old man's family about it once, but he had to return two taels of silver as a reward, specifying that it was for the little girl. The Old Lai family laughed and said, "Don't look at the two taels of silver, it was all thanks to Grandmother. Thank that girl so much. Otherwise, we would have been falsely accused today."

Old Madam Peng, who was in charge of the house, giggled and said, "This old servant isn't envious of this amount of silver. That little girl should indeed be rewarded." Otherwise, if anything happens to my food later, this old servant will be the first one to run away. "

Old Lady Peng did indeed keep her word. She didn't swallow the two taels of silver and gave it all to the little girl who was washing the rice. That girl was also quite quick-witted. She immediately withdrew half of her words to give Old Lady Peng some good words. From then on, she had taken root in the steward's heart and was especially valued. This is a later story, so let's not talk about it for now.

But when they returned to Xu Mingwei's courtyard, seeing that she had not done anything, the other girls got angry. Wan Rong said angrily, "What a black-hearted person, we still don't have the chance to do anything. If we let her do it, we won't be able to wash away our sins even if we jump into the Yellow River!"

Wan Rou scolded, "Her brain was muddled, it was obviously her doing, but she blamed the people around her for not feeling wronged! If I were a man, I would have taken a gunny sack and tied it over her head to kill her. "

It wasn't as if she couldn't say any of those dirty words from the market. After holding back for a while, she couldn't hold it in anymore, she was so anxious that her face turned red. It was as if she wasn't in the same group as everyone else and had happily scolded Mrs. Ma.

Giving Xu Mingwei a smile, she quickly advised, "Alright, alright, I still haven't accomplished anything right? "Ju Nan, if you really want to punish her, go to that old woman Ma's room and search for her. She hid some bad water today and it will probably still be on you since you can touch it at night. If you were to pour it into her tea, I will make her suffer."

When Ju Nan heard he had to make a fool out of her, he responded cheerfully, "Grandmother, don't worry, I will go tonight and let her have a taste."

Fu Heng coincidentally walked back into the room from his study. Hearing the laughter, he asked curiously, "What are you guys laughing about, for you to be so happy?"

Old Lai's eyes rolled back as he replied, "This Mid-Autumn Festival, the girls are all craving for crabs. Grandma just made a promise, a bowl sized crab tube is enough. "

Fu Heng's mind was moved by his words, and he laughed: "In the past, there were crabs in my house, but I always felt that they weren't fat enough, so I might as well sell them. But after eating at home, you still have to meet up with Yun Ping and the others again at a different place to taste good. "

This was the second time Xu Mingwei had heard him mention Yun Ping, and after looking through it in her mind, she didn't find anyone with this name, so she asked curiously, "Who is Yun Ping again? Last time, you promised me that you would go out and eat spicy food when he invited me. "

Fu Heng said, "It's normal for you to not recognize him. He was a member of the Nan Yang Duan Clan, and a few years ago, he studied in the capital. He stayed for a while, and when spring failed the test last time, he lost his will to seek merit, and decided to eat from the north to the south, and then eat from the south to the west. He would travel all the way to the east, and experience great rivers and mountains.

Xu Mingwei thought, this kind of life as a glutton was quite interesting. If she was born a man, with Lady Helan's temper, there would be no one who wouldn't let her go out. It was a pity that she had miscarried. Now, she could only look on with envy at the others.

After the couple talked for a while, the woman came over to treat them. She said that the tables had already been set up at the pavilion and were waiting for the wives and masters to move away.

Fu Heng felt that it was strange when he heard it, and laughed: "In the previous years, all of the people here would be having banquets in the Flower Hall, but this time, you are the only one who changed it to a pavilion, it is rather strange."

Xu Mingwei said, "Since we are going to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival, naturally, we must have all of them."

Fu Heng asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Mingwei laughed, "The moon in the sky has its own benefits, and the water also has a taste of water."

Fu Heng clapped his hands and sighed, "Wonderful, my wife is indeed a wonderful person."

Xu Mingwei immediately gave him a push when she heard him start to speak without any sense of solemnity. Fu Heng took the opportunity to hold her hand and lead her towards the pavilion. Wan Rong and Wan Rou looked at each other and laughed. They tidied up their handkerchief and followed along.

After entering the pavilion, most of the juniors from the three rooms were gathered. After half an incense stick of time, the wives and masters of the second house arrived one after another. Only Lady Wang and Fu Hongbo were the last to arrive. Everyone hurriedly stood up and greeted him before sitting back down with a smile.
