That night, Fu Heng came over to eat dinner. When he entered the house, he saw a bunch of tea plums by the window and asked, “Where did you come from?”
Xu Mingwei was still changing her clothes in the room, it was strange for Wan Rong to hear it, why did she ask about it all today? She replied with a smile, “It was sent by Madam three rooms, saying that it was opened well, and she sent it to the various courtyards to look at the mischievous children.”
Fu Heng’s handsome face also turned red when he heard it. Coincidentally, Xu Mingwei came out from the house, and when her eyes met each of them, they both dodged.
Wan Rong found it funny. She did not show it on the surface and asked Fu Heng: “Should I change my clothes or use water first?”
Fu Heng coughed and said, “I can’t be bothered with it, I just got water.”
Although she said that, her eyes was looking straight at Xu Mingwei. The latter saw that he was still waiting for him and sighed. In the end, he still stood up. Wan Rong glanced at the door curtain that was swaying, covered her smile and walked out.
Seeing that, Wan Rou nudged her with her elbow, “What are you laughing so eerily for, is it making trouble inside again?”
Wan Rong glared at her and retorted, “You little pussy must be looking for someone bad. I looked at my grandmother’s face, but it was better than usual. “He’s already willing to help Young Master change his clothes.”
Before Wan Rou could say anything, the Old Lai family member folded her hands and chanted the Buddhist prayer, “Oh Miracle Buddha, you finally know how to turn back. Our yard is full of hope now.”
Wan Rong was happy in her heart, but he didn’t bother about it anymore. She called Meng Yang to go get some hot water, and then went to the kitchen.
Wan Rou asked curiously, “You’re about to set up a meal, where are you going now?”
Wan Rong hushed her, then pointed towards the house and said, “Taking advantage of grandmother’s good mood, I have one more dish to eat.”
Now that she had left, she had not only added another dish. Nanny Xu purposely killed the silver carp with a pungent smell. The silver carp’s head weighed a whole two pounds, and he used salt from the chili concoction to taste it before adding soy sauce and chopped peppers into the steamer and steamed it up. Finally, he sent it up along with a pot of hot egg wine.
Xu Mingwei knew in her heart that it was Wan Rong and the others who gave him this idea. The pot of hot egg wine had mostly entered Fu Heng’s stomach, but it had actually been brewed at home and distilled at home. It was stronger than the rice wine beside him, and even with his good alcohol tolerance, his face was still slightly flushed.
Xu Mingwei was afraid that he would become drunk and lose her mind, hence she advised, “It’s enough to just watch, I won’t drink anymore.”
Fu Heng looked up at her, a pair of eyes deep enough to make a person drown in thought. He slowed down by half a beat and laughed, “I’m not drunk.”
Xu Mingwei snatched the alcohol away and kept it, frowning, she said, “Next time, come back and don’t give me any more alcohol.”
Wan Rong saw the look in her eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. She knew that Xu Mingwei had already noticed that something was amiss, but she had given him face, so she did not act up in front of her family. With a bit of guilt in his heart, she retreated, and arched Wan Rou as he came forward to serve.
Seeing that he had changed into a different person, Xu Mingwei laughed in his heart, and barely put down a few more chopsticks, his stomach full, and then threw away his wooden chopsticks. Seeing that Fu Heng was already half-lying on the table, he sighed and asked: “Is Dong Zi still out there?”
Peaches had sharp ears and looked at the door when she heard this. She gave a cry of surprise and replied, “Grandma, I saw him squatting at the door before. I wonder where he’s run off to now.”
Xu Mingwei frowned, sshe did not believe that just with a little yellow wine, he would be able to make Fu Heng drunk, but there were no attendants in the courtyard, so she could only say: “Peaches, you called the Lai family aunts over to support him, bring him inside.”
“En!” Peaches answered crisply, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone. Not long later, Old Lai’s family members were brought in, and the two of them half-supported Fu Heng and half-dragged him into the house.
“Alright, bring me some hot water as well.” Xu Mingwei was too lazy to take off his outer clothes, she could only cover his entire body with a blanket, and be frozen to death.
After tidying up so much, her forehead and nose were covered in a layer of sweat. When she turned around to wipe off her sweat, Wan Rong saw that Fu Heng, who should have been drunk on the bed, had quickly adjusted his sleeping position so that he could get out of the room. She almost laughed out loud, but after hearing Xu Mingwei asking her which box she hid the blanket in, she immediately pouted and said, “Grandmother, why do you need to find a blanket for? The room is newly sun-dried, but the contents have not yet been found. ”
Xu Mingwei turned her head to look at her, and immediately lost her temper. She opened the top box with a smile, “Then let’s sleep on this bed.
Xu Mingwei snorted, but it was unknown if it was for her or for the person on the bed. She took the blanket and laid it on the soft couch.
He was about to fall asleep. Wan Rong sighed in her heart, seeing Fu Heng blink his eyes, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Because it was on the bed, and the place was too small to let Mrs. Tang sleep, Xu Mingwei slept while holding onto a stove. The land dragon had risen early in the morning, so Wan Rong didn’t think too much about it and only flipped a blanket over. Xu Mingwei just continued to lie there in the middle of the night, her legs still as cold as ice. Just as she was thinking about how she was going to open her eyes and wait until daybreak, she suddenly heard a series of sizzling sounds. However, Fu Heng’s sleep had turned warm, and she woke up to ask for water.
Xu Mingwei heard the conversation between him and Wan Rong, and although she was quiet, after a while, she heard the footsteps coming towards him. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She only felt that he had been standing in front of the bed for a long time, looking at something. The sole of her foot lightly touched her, bumping into the hot Tang Matriarch. Men belonged to the Yang family. They always carried firepower. He had never used such a thing in the winter … It turned out that this was what he wanted from Wan Rong when he woke up.
The soles of his feet gradually warmed up, and his body felt heavy. Xu Mingwei knew that she had also fallen asleep on the bed. The warm breath made her face turn moist, her heart hung tight, but in the end, nothing happened. She secretly opened her eyes to take a look, Fu Heng’s eyebrows were calm and relaxed, his breathing was also long, he had gone to sleep early.
After a moment of reassurance, he thought about it and laughed. The two of them had even given birth to a child, what was there to be afraid of? He had spent half the night on the soft couch, wanting to separate bed with him. It was a habit of his. After struggling for a long time, she was still able to teach how to sleep soundly. She did not even know when Fu Heng left in the morning.
Hearing that she had woken up, Wan Rou smiled as he gave her some hot water and a handkerchief, and said, “Is Grandmother going to eat at home? Even though that purple rice soup ball is good, it hurts my stomach. Why don’t I first drink a bowl of bird’s nest congee to cushion my stomach? ”
Xu Mingwei nodded her head. Wan Rou then told Meng Yang to bring a few seeds for bed, and on one side was a white jade bowl of Swallow’s Nest porridge, beside him was a purple rice ball covered with a tea bowl. The bottom of the soup was brewed with fermented egg halogen, and it didn’t hang much sugar. The other six or seven small plates were filled with several different colors of pastries, all of which were exquisite in size. However, she would usually only make a move or two, and served the rest of the dishes inside the house.
After eating for a while, Xu Mingwei leaned on the headboard for a while, unwilling to move lazily. Before Xu Mingwei could even see clearly, she heard the laughter of the Old Lai Family, “Grandma, look who’s here.”
With that, he let the Lady Jin come over. Xu Mingwei saw that she was only wearing a thin green cotton-padded jacket, the lower part of her skirt was not thick either, and was so cold that it made people’s mouths purple. He was shocked and immediately told Wan Rong to open a box to find her large fur clothes for her. The Lady Jin was unwilling to let them win first, but then she forced Wan Rong and the others to do so.
“And how is this done? The Jin Clan was willing to let you out, but they didn’t give you a proper set of clothes? ” Xu Mingwei asked.
The Lady Jin smiled bitterly and said, “Being able to come out from that place is already all thanks to Madam’s blessing. I don’t know where that Jin Danggui got this IOU from, but it said that he owed his family two hundred taels of silver and only then did he teach me to marry him. The marriage changed its flavor and almost made him sell himself to cover his debts. It was his wife who found him a reliable person, and she had to make peace with him. She even gave him 270 taels of silver in return, as well as saying that he was not allowed to take anything that could be used in the Jin family.
Xu Mingwei was surprised, “He could even casually make such an instrument?”
The Lady Jin sighed, and said, “Who knows if it’s true, there is even my mother’s fingerprint imprinted on it, and I’m afraid that people have already turned into water, where would they go to find out if it’s true? and he’s the only one who knows what he’s talking about. ”
Xu Mingwei said, “Then what’s the point in using the same trick in the future?”
The Lady Jin said, “But we are not worried about that. “The person whom Madam has been looking for, has written a written agreement with him on the spot, stating that the debts from the past have only come to an end here, and that even if he were to hold it later on, he would not be able to keep it true.”
Hearing her words, Xu Mingwei relaxed and said, “Since I have my freedom, if I lose some money, I will lose some money. There is a trade in my skills, and relying on this, I won’t die from hunger. Do you have your own plans? ”
Lady Jin looked up and said, “Madam gave me two hundred taels of silver, which is clearly stated that it’s not a loan. “Madam also has someone capable to serve her. Since I can’t use her as a slave, I sold her as a five-year contract, hoping to get a meal from Grandmother’s hands.”
Xu Mingwei laughed when she heard this, “That’s for the best, in the days that you were not at home, I felt that I had become a lot lazier, and even did less.”
Lady Jin’s eyes revealed a smile, and said, “Don’t worry about it, I will pick it up later.” After saying that, she looked at what she was wearing. After all, it was for her master’s use. It was fine inside the house for a while, but when she went out the door, she actually made people laugh.
Just as she was in a difficult situation, Wan Rong hugged her arm and laughed, “Elder sister Mu, please follow me.
