C2 hold a good hand of cards

At this time, another person spoke up slowly, "Ah Dong, Seventh Sister is also our sister. She is good at playing the zither, we should be happy for her praise. It's fine if you tell me what you said just now, but we can't tolerate anyone else hearing it in their ears. Moreover, Seventh Sister was only focused on practicing her zither, it was her own ability that was praised by Teacher, so how can you say that she showed me? "

Xu Mingwei knew that it was Xu Mingqiang.

The Xu family's fourth wife entrance, to Xu Mingwei's generation, were filled with words, even the girl's name had the word flower in it. When the Old Master had married his name and each room had given birth to a daughter, or raised a concubinage, they all arranged their names according to their birth order, not caring about the children in each room. Therefore, although Xu Mingwei was born in a big house, because her wife, Lady Helan, gave birth late, and because the first two babies were both boys, they could only be ranked seventh when Xu Mingwei crossed over to the big house. It just so happened that she got the same name as the young lady of the Xu family, Xu Mingqiang.

Xu Mingdong was a little wronged at this time, but Xu Mingwei could imagine the expression on her face when she heard her voice.

"But I just can't stand it. The Master Fang was clearly invited back by his family for the big sister's sake. She, Xu Mingwei was just invited to come over, why would she steal the limelight from the big sister? "She's still young, so she should be praised more often than others. How does she look like you, big sister? You …"

Xu Mingdong was just being a sis-con, talking to his sister and telling his to come over. Just as Xu Mingwei was complaining that she could not stop, she heard a rare thing from Xu Mingqiang, and her tone revealed a bit of a naughty smile, "What's wrong with me? Ah Dong, why can't I understand you? Explain it clearly for Big Sis. "

This time, even Xu Mingmei's face revealed a look of understanding. So it turns out that the third sister felt that the Seventh Sister was the one who stole her big sister's name, but they were all sisters without any outsiders present.

Xu Mingdong let out a weird cry, and angrily said, "Big sister, you're so bad, I'll ignore you anymore."

With a series of hurried footsteps, Xu Mingdong actually escaped. Xu Mingqiang was laughing behind, and chased after him.

Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingmei waited at the back for a while, until they realized that there was no one around, then looked at each other, and snickered.

Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingmei walked all the way to the Palm Flower Pavilion before saying their goodbyes and returning to their respective courtyards.

After passing the Pavilion Master's Flower, she walked through a green bamboo forest, as if she was familiar with the route, and then went around the outer walls of the three rooms's courtyard. After passing by the Guang Guang Lake, she could see the courtyard of the house.

She had just passed through those three years. When she was young, she was still fine. When she was finally able to get to the ground with someone to carry her. The Xu family's complex design had truly caused her to suffer a lot. In her previous life, when the company arranged for its employees to travel to Ningbo, she had always thought that Tianyi Pavilion was the most roaming house. Without a tour guide, she didn't even know where they had gone. Without the servant girl following him, Xu Mingwei could have gotten lost in the big courtyard.

Fortunately, she had gradually familiarized herself with the Xu Family's structure in these two years. Otherwise, with the rule that Master Fang did not allow them to bring along maids for lessons, it was hard to say if Xu Mingwei could even find the place where the lessons were held.

With such a complicated courtyard, even if someone were to steal into his house, he wouldn't be able to escape.

When they returned to the moon-nesting in her courtyard, Wan Rou's maid Wan Rou was currently leading Wan Rong, Wan Yi and Wan Ting to fight. The four of them sat in a circle around the window, all wearing goose yellow, sky-blue, narrow sleeved dresses. All of them were around twelve or thirteen years old, and they were extremely lively, just like the dewy flower buds early in the morning in the garden.

Xu Mingwei did not say anything. When Wan Rong raised her head, he realized that she had returned and immediately put down the golden thread in her hand. She got up and laughed, "Miss has returned. Would you like a cup of honey water first? "

Xu Mingwei nodded.

Wan Rong immediately went to get some warm nectar water, while Wan Yi went to open the luggage case, picking out a pair of peach coloured dress that was around her waist, waiting for Xu Mingwei to finish drinking the water before changing. Seeing that there were beads of sweat on her forehead, Wan Ting silently went to get some warm water and twisted a clean handkerchief with gold lining to let Xu Mingwei wipe her face.

The house full of maids served Xu Mingwei well. She didn't need to say or do anything, and someone would naturally want to do it for her.

Xu Mingwei had never thought of living a life like this, but she adapted to it quickly. In her previous life, her parents had long since divorced and reorganized their families. As someone who no one wanted, she had been left behind in her uncle's house to be raised for more than ten years. Although her uncle doted on her, a man was still careless. He never realized that her clothes didn't fit her at all, and her shoes had long since worn off.

Actually, his aunt and uncle weren't that knowledgeable. Even if they worked in the factory for a month, they still wouldn't earn more than four thousand yuan. Other than the fact that they had to eat at home, they still had to support the elderly from both families. Xu Mingwei's parents, on the other hand, had only given her living expenses off and on for the first two years. Honestly speaking, with her biological parents not asking her, for Xu Mingwei's aunt to agree to keep her at home and give her money to go to university was already quite good.

Under such a tense economic situation, Xu Mingwei thought to herself, if she had the spare money to buy new clothes for her child, she would naturally hold onto her own child first. After all, people were selfish. It was normal to love one's own child, but to love another's child was more important than one's own. That was the Virgin Mary.

After graduating from university, Xu Mingwei didn't ask for a single cent from his uncle's family anymore. She had been out working for five or six years, and aside from the living expenses she had saved for herself, most of her salary had been transferred back to his uncle's family. Xu Mingwei also knew that in order to let herself go to university, his uncle had to quarrel with her aunt many times. At that time, she didn't have the ability to change anything. Even before the college entrance exam, she was still worried that she couldn't afford to go to university. On the day of the exam, her uncle took a leave of absence from the factory to take her to the examination hall. He didn't say anything else. He only said one thing, telling her to be at ease with the exam. Even if he sold everything he had, he would send her to university.

When Xu Mingwei thought back to today, she could still clearly remember the expression and appearance of her uncle when she said those words to him that day.

On a hot day, he was still wearing the orange work clothes he worked in at the factory. His clothes were too fat, and they were so empty on his uncle that they looked even thinner and darker than before, as if a gust of wind could knock him over. But when he said those words, his uncle's face was filled with an unswerving determination that had never been present before. The certainty in his eyes somehow made Xu Mingwei confident in his future.

As expected, she went to a key university in Chongqing later on. When filling in her aspiration form, she filled in the form of a major university that provided a high scholarship, and for the four years of university, she relied on scholarships and part-time work to earn money. Xu Mingwei also didn't burden her uncle's family with much money. In her senior year of university, when she picked out an internship unit, she had also gone to a payroll unit. She didn't expect that she would actually be able to do this. Although the profession was not right, she was eager to learn. She practiced hard on her own to become a drawing craftsman who originally needed some artistic skills, because the drawing fees were higher than the writing fees.

Xu Mingwei's life for the first half of her life was never related to enjoying at all. Although she was paid seven to eight thousand yuan a month, she was never willing to buy herself a better set of clothes. When spring came and winter came, she would pick up the black and white sets of clothes that she bought when she had a discount.

When she was twenty-six, her aunt finally called her to tell her that she no longer needed to send money home. Her cousin had graduated from college and had hired a temporary job in the power bureau. As long as he worked for two years, he would be able to get his job straight. Hanging up Aunt's cold phone call, Xu Mingwei did not feel relieved at all, instead, he felt that his heart was empty. It was probably because she knew that there was no longer any reason for her to return to her uncle's house, and no one needed her anymore. She was finally the only person left in this world.

Every month, he would get over three thousand yuan in one go. Xu Mingwei felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. However, before she had the chance to enjoy her life properly, she had gotten into a car accident on her way to work and arrived at the Xu family right after waking up. In the beginning, Xu Mingwei did not even know what kind of dynasty this was, and the way she spoke was different from where she came from. Xu Mingwei had to adapt for a long time before he finally learnt it. Fortunately, she was a woman who was wearing clothes. No one was surprised that she opened her mouth slowly, but she had to start from the beginning, including walking. For an adult who was trapped inside a baby, it was a bit difficult.

Every time when it was deep into the night, Xu Mingwei could not help but think, maybe this was the heaven's silent compensation for her? She had asked her to be reincarnated in the Xu family, which was one of the Four Great Clans in Tianqi. She was also the concubine, Xu Tiangang.

In the Xu family, although the son and daughter born from a concubine were the same as the children born from the direct line of descent and would receive the same monthly allowance, it was still just a facade. Not to mention anything else, if Xu Mingwei went to the kitchen and asked for a bowl of Swallow's nest porridge, the granny who cooked in the kitchen would not even ask about it, but would even respectfully send Xu Mingwei's little girl out with a smile.

However, the birth of a concubine was different.
