C12 Xu Mingmei Avoiding Bright Moon Residence (Part I)

At that time, Xu Minglan felt that what the Lady Liang said was reasonable and was sent away like that. After thinking about it, didn't this hairpin still belong to her? It could also be brought to her in-laws' home as a dowry in the future. With the Seventh Sister's looks, she could not compare to him, but if she did not dress up properly, could she not?

She could only think about it in her heart and did not dare to say these words in front of Lady Liang. It wasn't that Xu Minglan wasn't clear about the attitudes of the family's parents towards these children, so she was even more envious of Xu Mingmei and her wife.

Xu Mingmei was the only direct daughter of the Second Branch. Since she was young, Xu Mingmei had always been the most carefree out of all her cousins. What was new outside? They were all the latest styles her rich uncles had people bring from the south. She didn't want to wear them, so she put them away after playing for a few days.

But Xu Mingwei was even more hateful. It was one thing for her to be born in a big house and be a direct descendant. However, her uncle and the Aunt treated her like they were treasures, and her two elder brothers doted on her. They would always bring her gifts … As for Xu Mingfeng, it would be good if he didn't scrape some things off from her. Not only did she bully her, she even replied back to her with a complaint and ran over to Lady Liang to sue her. This caused Xu Minglan to be scolded by the Lady Liang instead.

These female cousins were secretly comparing their thoughts, how could Xi Shi understand it, even if he asked, Xu Minglan would not say it out loud. If people knew that she was secretly envious of those people that his fourth wife did not like, it would be even worse than tearing her apart.

Disregarding the suffering of the servants in the entire fourth wife, even though Xu Mingmei had brought Wan Feng out of the Xueju, there wasn't much loss on the road either. It was as if Xu Minglan's annoying nouveau riche wasn't talking about him. Entering the big house, the atmosphere of the moon-nesting was completely different from that of the Xueju.

Wan Rong was the first to see her, she immediately stopped knitting and walked over with a smile.

"The six girls is here, our lady is in the small study practicing calligraphy, would you like to take a look?"

Wan Ting walked up and pulled Wan Feng away playfully, "Sister Feng, quickly help me see what this green line from the lake needs to be like. It's too red and it's not fresh on the face of the lake …"

Wan Feng did not look at her master and allowed Wan Ting to pull them away. She just sat beside the girls and stopped moving.

Xu Mingmei did not mind, but following Wan Rong to the small study room, she saw through the window and focused on writing, if it wasn't Xu Mingwei, then who else could it be?

Wan Rong was about to give a reminder, but she stopped herself with a wave of her hand. She was also a regular customer of the moon-nesting and was the best friend of Xu Mingwei.

Xu Mingwei was writing very seriously, she did not notice that there were two people in the room, and when Wan Rong went in and out of the room, he did not disturb her. Xu Mingmei found it interesting and started laughing even more. She slowly approached Xu Mingwei with her hands behind her back and extended her neck to look at Xu Mingwei's shoulder. The smile on her face froze.

"At the side of the broken bridge outside the inn, there is no master. It is already dusk, and I am worried about nothing but the wind and the rain. "

"Unintentional struggle against spring, the previous generation of Fang is jealous. It's just that the fragrance is just like before. "

Master Fang had only taught them poetry that was less than half a month old. Although Xu Mingmei could understand what words Xu Mingwei had written on the paper, she couldn't really understand what she meant. When she looked at the question again, it was precisely the Plum Blossom.

By the time Xu Mingwei realised that it was already too late to cover them up, she could not help but feel regret. Why did she not remember to tell Wan Rong just now to pass along her message when someone came?

Just as she was thinking about it, Xu Mingmei had already pointed to her paper and asked, "Did you write this yourself, Seventh Sister? What was written there? It's so hard to read. "

Seeing that she did not understand, Xu Mingwei heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately thought of a way to divert her attention.

"I saw it in a book a few days ago, but I didn't have much to do in the courtyard in the afternoon. Master Fang Li previously told me to tie a few sandbags around my wrist when I was practicing calligraphy. Here, look …"

As expected, Xu Mingmei immediately changed her mind, her eyes fixated on Xu Mingwei's arm that was holding onto her sleeves.

There were two small sandbags neatly tied on her slender white arm. They were made of red silk and had a picture of a calf embroidered on it. It was obvious who had done it.

Xu Mingmei touched it curiously. Seeing that she was interested, she removed one from her hand and placed it in hers.

Xu Mingmei weighed it in her hand and said in shock, "Seventh Sister, can you even write anything like that?"

At this time, Xu Mingwei had already covered up the Spellcaster Plum, and took the opportunity to flip through a piece of paper she had refined earlier, showing it to her, "Look, only the first half of the paper was not written properly, it was crooked and it got used to it later on.

Xu Mingmei leaned her head over to take a closer look and found that it was indeed possible to write words, it was just a bit uglier than normal.

She was someone whose thoughts could almost be seen on her face. Xu Mingwei immediately understood after seeing it, and laughed, "How can it be that easy? Master Fang said that it would take a long time for this little thing to show its effects. How about I ask Wan Rong and the others to embroider two for you too? They did it carefully. The sand was washed three times, and the red silk bag containing the sand was covered with a thin cotton cloth to prevent the sand from falling out. "

Xu Mingmei saw that she had said something interesting and laughed, "I think those in Seventh Sister's room know how to do things, so I'll make two of them for me.

When he thought about how he was born a mouse, Xu Mingmei spat twice and changed his words, "Embroidery a mouse is really too ugly, why not a cat instead? Embroidery two fat cats."

Xu Mingwei nodded and the two of them joked around writing for a long time in the small study. Just as they were getting tired, Wan Rong brought Wan Feng in.

"After practicing for so long, young lady must be tired. Why don't we take a walk in the garden? The little girls are all planning to feed the fish, would young lady like to go with us?"

Xu Mingwei thought that this was good too, so she asked for Xu Mingmei's opinion and nodded.

Before going out, Xu Mingmei still remembered that Wan Ting had asked for Wan Feng to color the beast, so she turned and asked, "What color is the Lake Green Silk that goes with it?"

The few girls were confused by her question, but luckily Wan Ting managed to react and replied happily, "Sister Wan Feng has good eyes, with the sky green eyes and the stability, it is suitable for the two gongzis to use as a fan. The smoky purple was also good, just fitting the girl's new skirt. "The most extreme one would be the orange one, and it would be even better if it was a bonus bag …"

After Wan Ting finished chattering, she tilted her head and laughed, then turned and joked, "Seventh Sister, look at the girls in your room, even if you have them with you every day, I don't need to worry about you getting bored."

Everyone laughed, making Wan Ting feel embarrassed and hid behind them.

Wan Feng looked at the relaxed little mistress, and the corners of her lips that had been stiff this whole time softened a little.

In this family, the young mistress could only be happy in the main house.

Wan Feng sighed in her heart and followed closely behind Xu Mingmei. Compared to the noisy group of big girls from the moon-nesting, she was so calm that she didn't seem like a girl who had just turned twelve.

The group of young ladies walked to the lakeside while laughing and playing around. Wan Rou divided the fish food to everyone and scattered them around the lake, luring groups of red carp to bubble and fight for the fish food. It was very lively.

Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingmei rested after they fed the fish together, they just sat by the side and watched the servants play. The maids Wan Feng and Wan Rong, both of whom were in the courtyard, stood beside their young masters as they watched the two people not fall into the water. Wan Yi came over to call them once, but both Wan Feng and Wan Rong rejected him with a smile.

"With the people from the Seventh Sister here, you have to have some time to play, right? With such a big place to your left and right, nothing bad will happen." Xu Mingmei advised.

Wan Feng only shook her head. Xu Mingmei had no other choice but to let her go. She turned around and told Xu Mingwei everything that had happened in the courtyard of fourth wife, and the two of them laughed for a while, until all the fish food in the girls' hands were sold out by the stupid golden carp.

As they were about to return, Xu Mingwei asked Xu Mingmei what other matters she had in the afternoon.

Actually, Xu Mingmei was still a little worried in her heart, but when she thought about how she would have to face the Lady Ji again when she was unsatisfied, she hesitated, and only after a while did she reply, "My mother will probably be busy in the afternoon, so I might as well add fuel to the fire. What plans does Seventh Sister have for the afternoon? "I only sewed up the edges after taking the handkerchief. I don't know what kind of embroidery is good."

Although Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingmei were still young, they had already started to learn how to thread and thread from the Embroidered Mother when they were able to hold the silver needles steady. However, they were not as hardworking as the average family. After all, there was no need to rely on needlework for a living, they only needed to sew a handkerchief and sew a purse. However, making clothes and shoes required strength, so the two of them had not started learning yet.

Xu Mingmei did not do her homework on Master Fang well, but she was good at needlework. Not only did she embroider well with her hands, she was even better at matching the colors. Other than her natural intuition that she was close to a genius when it came to color matching, there was also Wan Feng who was an expert in color matching.

In this aspect, even Xu Mingqiang of the three rooms could not compare to her. However, when it fell into the Lady Ji's ears, it did not have any good words to say. "I don't expect you to rely on embroidery to support your family.
