I’m the Legitimate Wife - C226 Meeting Fu Heng's Examination in Spring (China)

Fu Heng sat in the room for a while before heading to the study room to study. With the spring near at hand, even someone as arrogant as him couldn’t help but feel a little nervous and didn’t dare to underestimate him.

Wan Rong carefully combed through her hair, seeing that there was no one else in the house, she said softly, “Grandmother, this master’s spring should bring them, when will we start to fix them in the house?”

Xu Mingwei reminded her, only then did she remember. At home, her two elder brothers both had their own mother to prepare for the test, but she had never looked down on them. Now that she thought about it, she really did not know what to prepare.

“Ask Old Rei’s family to go home and ask what second brother used this time.” In the evening, she still had to go to Wang’s courtyard to pay respects, and she could also ask her mother-in-law for advice. There would be two families that would look at it together, so it wouldn’t be too far off.

Wan Rong laughed, “Grandmother, you should also ask Young Master, the things that you have prepared, are always things that he has to endure from the eyes.”

Xu Mingwei looked at her, and said, “Alright, then I’ll send you to the study to scout out the situation.”

Wan Rong was not disappointed, she smiled and replied: “Alright, I will be there shortly.”

After drying his hair, Wan Rong put away the incense and actually went back to the study room. After half an incense worth of time, he returned with a smile and a detailed reply, “Grandmother, this servant has asked grandpa. It was said that during the last country test, all the quilts and clothes were searched at the door, so don’t bring them this time, so as to avoid fattening those; there is no need to make snacks and snacks, it would be a waste if they were broken up in front of the door; you can choose a pair of thin soles for your shoes, a piece of cloth without any seams in your big fur coat, and a brush and ink pad without any cracks, so you don’t need to worry about it, I have already prepared everything for you. ”

After Wan Rong finished relaying these words, she gaped, “This year’s spring is late, so much so that there’s not even enough blankets at night. Grandma, for the next three days, I will go in without a fire and without any heavy clothes.

Xu Mingwei had heard that the ancient Imperial examinations were very strict when they entered the door, but she never thought that the weather was so bad that even cotton-padded jackets were not allowed to be worn, no wonder people said that it took so much effort to make them into a ghost!

“I’ll think of something later.” “In the cold weather, people are only taught to wear simple clothes, and those with good materials in our family are even able to carefully search for and make clothes. Those poor people who were born in the Humble Class are truly pitiful.” Xu Mingwei said.

Old Lai’s family member coincidentally came in from outside. Hearing this, he smiled and said, “Grandmother might not know, but those people are too used to being frozen. Your body is still healthy! ”

Xu Mingwei thought, her words were reasonable, it was just that she did not make people happy, so he did not continue her sentence.

Old Lai’s family knew that she was trying to make things difficult for the spring to enter the stage. This was something that she had some little tricks up her sleeves, but she was the one who suggested it, so she was a bit pleased with herself and said, “Grandmother, don’t worry, this matter isn’t too hard to talk about. The rules stated that the examiners must wear sewn clothes, a single layer of shoes and socks, no leather clothing, no felt blankets, and even if they wanted to cut open the cakes and breads, it was only to prevent the use of pincers. “The old servant and his wife traveled in the martial arts world for a long time, so they had quite a lot of ways to resist the cold, so they might as well use it here.”

“Oh? Come on, tell me quickly, don’t keep us in suspense. ” Xu Mingwei invited her to take a seat, and held up some tea and snacks as she asked.

Old Lai smiled and said, “Grandmother will look for some furry goods to sell these few days, so she can ask someone to leave a few pieces of furred lamb skin, some for shoes, and some for bedding. However, he had to be careful when sewing. He couldn’t fold the stitches, or else he would teach others to pick out needle and thread when he reached the door. The only thing they could do was to put the stitches flat. Although the thread was rather unsightly outside, it was much warmer than that thin cloth monocle. The soles of his feet are invading, the soles of his feet are warm, and I am more comfortable inside. The mattress maker is even better. In this kind of weather, you are most afraid of moisture, but this thing can’t get any further wet. ”

Xu Mingwei thought, wasn’t this the single shoe version of the snow boots?

The old man said, “Eating in there is another item. The dim sum cake used at home, our master is such a particular person, teach people to touch then also don’t want to eat. When they could not find a lodging along the way, they thought of a way to mix the chicken with the flour of rice and bean powder. They would put a thin slice of cake on the stove and bake it until it was very dry, and sprinkling some sesame seeds was also good. This food is simple, it’s also good to bring it to the scene and it can recover your energy the most. ”

This Xu Mingwei was quite understanding, even if it was an incomplete set of mixed rations and biscuits, although carrying hungry would mean carrying hungry, but eating this all at once was also very uncomfortable.

“You can always bring pickles, right?” Xu Mingwei asked.

Old Lai nodded his head, “As long as you pretend to be shallow so that you can see clearly.”

If that was the case, she would understand. She would personally head to the kitchen and tell Nanny Xu to choose between the mushroom and beef stew, and also try out the thin biscuit with Old Lai’s family. Not to mention that the cake was very crisp and fragrant just by eating it, but the meat sauce made it even more so for eating it.

Xu Mingwei laughed, “Send a copy of the recipe to my second brother too, don’t forget about it.”

Old Lai’s heart said that he had already told his wife about the lambs’ shoes long ago, but because they were made in such an ugly way, the two young masters of his family refused to wear them because they thought they were offensive. But seeing the happiness on Xu Mingwei’s face, she nodded her head and agreed, without further ado.

When it was lunch time, Xu Mingwei got Meng Yang to send him a portion of the newly made pancakes and beef mince, stating that it was the “examination lunch” in spring. Fu Heng felt satisfied after tasting it, and asked for another recipe again. Xu Mingwei did not ask for her name, since she could not escape those few.

After a few days, those who went out to search for skin also returned. Obviously, they received instructions from Wan Rong and the others, afraid that if they couldn’t find anything good, there would be waste, so they actually found fifteen of them in one go. To make a pair of shoes, a single piece of leather was enough. Even if it took more effort to make a mattress, it wouldn’t cost more than five pieces of leather. Just as Xu Mingwei thought that it was a waste, Lady Jin said while stroking the skin, “This is placed on top of Xin Jieer’s mattress, it is extremely wet. Children are prone to sweat at night, cotton is not working, in a few seconds they are connected. ”

Xu Mingwei then left a piece for her to use in her delicate room. In that moment, she thought that she could also change this on her bed, and after Fu Heng’s mattress was ready, if there was not enough, she could buy more, then she could change the bed.

After getting the skin, Wan Rong’s two good needlework hands immediately started to get busy. Since the leather could not be folded over the leather, the first pair of shoes could not be made. The two of them could only take apart their things and throw them at Xu Mingwei, but she stopped them, “This pair is folded with a seams, and the bottom is also plastered with a thick layer. In the winter, I feel that my feet are cold, so I am not afraid of this.”

She picked up her shoes and looked at them for a while, then laughed, “Why don’t we change the back of her foot? It’s as high as her ankle and half a piece of material. Both sides will dig out a row of holes and tie it up with ribbons. When you want to take off your shoes, loosen the straps and spread them out to see if there are any straps inside. After checking, he tightened the straps and tied them together. Since the cold air didn’t leak in, it was naturally warm. It’s not like the lotus leaves wrapping around a needle, where it’s loose and loose. ”

Wan Rong and Wan Rou understood after hearing that. They had a plan in their hearts, making it easier for them to take action after that. After more than an hour, he had made a pair based on Fu Heng’s shoes.

She asked where her shoes were, and she smiled bitterly as she said, “Young Master is wearing warm cotton shoes, and is not willing to return them after getting on top of his feet. Tell Grandma to make another two pairs for him.”

Wan Rou was not the least bit pleased with her own shoes for being able to catch master’s eyes. She only pretended to say: “What a big mouth! A pair of shoes for him, Grandmother, you see, the servants’ hands were pierced by needles several times.”

This was not an exaggeration. The lamb skin was originally thicker, and the saltpeter was not softer than the later generations. The needle marks on it were pushed out by Wan Rong and the others using a thimble, if it wasn’t for the fact that Peaches couldn’t make needle and thread, asking her to use this kind of strength was just right. As a result, Xu Mingwei laughed, “I know you guys worked hard this time, so why don’t you get Nanny Xu to add another red chicken wing tip tonight to make it better?”

Wan Rou immediately reacted that Xu Mingwei was messing with her, and immediately thanked her, “Regardless of whether it is with the tips of the chicken wings or with the pig hands, in the end, it is still more meat dishes, this servant will thank Grandma first.”

Wan Rong and the others laughed again, and made a second pair, their hands and feet becoming even lighter.

Although Lady Wang still remembered the matter behind the Xu Family’s fake mountain, she did not reveal it when she saw Xu Mingwei greeting her in the evening. After listening to her talk about the spring, she suddenly remembered that there were a few things that needed to be prepared, so she called for the Nanny Xue, and started to list the things that the spring would use in the past.

Xu Mingwei also did not clarify, whatever Lady Wang said, she would agree, and turned around and prepared to leave, to bring back those that she could not bring in, and to call Dong Zi back as he was now.

Lady Wang saw that she was obedient, her heart feeling better, and advised her to stay away from Fu Heng for the next few days, in case she wanted to take up the post, it would be impossible. When Xu Mingwei heard this, his face immediately flushed red.

Lady Wang saw her shyness and thought to herself that she was still young after all. Her skin was thin, and after giggling a few times, she let him out.

But when Xu Mingwei walked out of her room, there was still a trace of shyness on her face, and her eyes were extremely clear.

“Go back and see if you can finish dinner in the kitchen. If you can, then go and invite Young Master.” Xu Mingwei said to Wan Rong who was behind him.

Wan Rong did not understand why her face changed when she just came out of Wang Shi’s house. She started to think about what the two had said to her, and her heart skipped a beat.

She just didn’t want to follow them?
