After returning to the Xu Mansion from Lihua House, as soon as I got off the carriage, a man at the door rolled a bundle to Xu Wanning's feet.
Fubai kicked the person away: "Who is it?"
"Miss, it's me, Peng Fu!" Peng Fu held his stomach that hurt from being kicked, and raised his head with difficulty, with tears in his eyes.
Xu Wanning was a little surprised when she saw him, "Why are you back?"
Fubai was also surprised: "Aren't you there? Why did you come back?"
Peng Fu cried directly: "Miss, he doesn't want me anymore."
"..." Xu Wanning turned her head and looked. Pedestrians passing by were looking this way.
Those who didn’t know thought that Peng Fu was abandoned by others!
"Let's talk after we go in."
Peng Fu wiped away his tears and followed Pit Pip Pip in.
"Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Returning to Lihuayuan, Xu Wanning took a sip of the warm water brought by Jixiang, and the heat temporarily dissipated.
It's the beginning of autumn, and it's a little cooler in the morning and evening, but it's still very hot at noon.
Peng Fu knelt in front of Xu Wanning, feeling extremely aggrieved: "The governor doesn't like to eat the food I cook. He says the food I cook is extremely unpalatable."
"It tastes extremely bad? How do you say this?"
Xu Wanning has also tasted the dish she taught Peng Fu to make. It's not too unpalatable!
"The Governor said that my paintings of tigers cannot be compared to dogs." Peng Fu glanced at Xu Wanning cautiously.
"He knows?" Xu Wanning was stunned.
What kind of tricky mouth does this person have? Lihua Zui can taste the difference. Her and Peng Fu's skills are already 89% similar, but he can still taste it?
"It's not what I said. I swear to God, I didn't say a word. I don't know why, but the governor suspected me. He said that you taught me my craftsmanship, and that I learned all the tricks." Peng Fu was about to cry now: "The Governor told me to go wherever I came from."
"So you just came back?"
Peng Fu wiped his tears: "No, I want to go back to Yancheng. I just wanted to say goodbye to the young lady before leaving. Thank you, young lady, for thinking of me for having good things, but it's so hard to make money in Kyoto. Come here." Just kowtow to the lady three times and leave."
He kowtowed three times and said, "Miss, I'm leaving."
"What are your plans when you go back?" Xu Wanning asked.
Peng Fu said: "I will find a job as a cook and do my old job."
"Otherwise, I have a job as a cook. Are you willing to do it?"
It's really hard to find anywhere, and it takes a lot of effort to get it.
Isn’t Lihua House short of a cook? It’s just right!
Peng Fu hesitated: "The craftsmanship of a slave..."
"Don't worry, no one is as naughty as him." Xu Wanning said through gritted teeth.
No thief is as difficult to serve as him!
Xu Wanning asked Chen Wang to send Peng Fu to Lihua Tower to let him adapt to Lihua Tower.
Fubai remained silent until later, when he suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, I understand."
"What do you understand again?" Xu Wanning raised her eyes and looked at Fubai, not knowing where his understanding came from.
The red plums and green apricots all looked at Fu Bai who was looking back.
"After you sent Peng Fu to the Governor's Mansion, the Governor asked him to cook fish. We all thought it was delicious, but the Governor said it was unpalatable. Later, he asked me to go to Yancheng and buy fish. He said it might be a problem with the fish. But after he ate it, he still said it tasted wrong. I was puzzled. It tasted very good, and there was nothing wrong with it, but the governor just said no."
"What happened next?" Qingxing asked.
"Later, after I ate the food you cooked, miss, I realized that your food was much more delicious than Peng Fu's. I will tell the governor when I get back..." Fubai's voice became more and more intense. Small, almost gone at the end.
Qingxing gritted her teeth and slapped him with a slap: "So you are the one who ate the inside out, and you are the one who told the secret."
Fu Bai escaped: "I really didn't mean it, and I didn't know either!"
"You're a traitor, you're eating everything inside and outside, just to see if I don't beat you." Qing Xing confessed.
The two men were chasing each other under the pear tree.
Hongmei was a little worried: "Miss, the Governor will not come to trouble you, right?" Peng Fudu has been sent back. If he really wants the lady to fulfill the conditions of the previous alliance, then he is not asking the lady...
Hongmei is worried.
Xu Wanning was in a good mood as she watched Fubai and Qingxing playing around in the pear tree: "Don't worry, Pei Heng won't do it."
Pei Heng?
Hongmei glanced at Xu Wanning.
Her eyes were gentle, her mouth was smiling, and her eyes seemed to be filled with light.
That was happiness that Hongmei had never seen before.
Hongmei looked at Fubai, thoughtfully.
Soon it was August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Xu family reunited together to have a reunion dinner, admire the moon, and eat moon cakes.
Xu Wanning held Ting Ge'er and An Ge'er in her arms and told the story of Chang'e flying to the moon.
Xu Changan heard it for the first time, and his eyes sparkled when he heard it, but Xu Tingan was not interested: "Sister, I have heard this story before."
Hearing the word eldest brother, Mrs. Lu sighed: "Our family has fewer people every year for reunions. Last year it was Aning and this year it was Jia'er. I don't know when our family will be able to truly reunite. Mid-Autumn Festival."
Xu Qian glanced at Xu Ting'an: This bastard, you really don't pick up the pot, and you don't pick up anyone. Doesn't this make your mother sad?
Xu Wanning consoled her: "Big brother will come back when he is done with his work. We will definitely have a reunion year this New Year."
"Grandma, don't be sad. Brother An is with you." Xu Changan leaned in Lu's arms and comforted her. A child's comfort is the most useful. Lu burst into tears and smiled: "Grandma, don't be sad. I am my good boy." My grandson is with me.”
Xu Qian stroked his beard and said, "Tomorrow is the day when Lihua Tower opens. Let's go to bed early. Aning will be busy tomorrow."
"Okay, Aning, you go back and rest early. Brother An will sleep with his grandmother tonight, okay?"
Xu Changan nodded: "Okay."
"Then let's go back to bed early. We have to go to school tomorrow." Xu Qian and Mrs. Lu were holding a child each. Xu Wanning watched them enter the house, which was very lively and couldn't stop the smile on her face.
Mom is right, on this reunion night, the only thing missing is my eldest brother.
I don't know what happened to my eldest brother in Duke Wei's Mansion. Thinking about it all the way, Xu Wanning walked to Lihuayuan, and happened to meet Lin Hui on the way. He was swaying as he walked out, as if he had drunk too much.
That's the way out.
She stopped, looking at Lin Hui's back in trance.
This Lin Hui is the eldest brother's senior brother and now the doctor of the Xu family.
The eldest brother once told her that the two of them had a very good relationship before, like brothers, but later on, their relationship became estranged.
In her previous life, her brother died, her mother died, and her father died. She once looked for Xu Jia, but she couldn't find Xu Jia. Instead, Lin Hui found her, carrying Xu Jia's jade pendant that symbolized the eldest son of the Xu family.
Xu Wanning touched her jade pendant.
Xu Jia, She, Xu Ting'an, including Xu Changan, all have words that symbolize them.
Ting'an's jade pendant is engraved with the word "安", Chang'an's jade pendant is engraved with the word "Chang'an", hers is engraved with the word "Ning", and the eldest brother's is engraved with the word "Jia".
She still clearly remembered that Lin Hui came to her at that time, holding Xu Jia's jade pendant, and said, "It's not convenient for Xu Jia to meet you now. He asked me to hold the jade pendant. If there is anything, tell me." He said exactly the same thing."
At that time, Xu Wanning was devastated and gave him a stack of banknotes totaling hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and a pile of house deeds. Lin Lin accounted for half of the Xu family's property, and asked Lin Hui to give these things to him.
Looking back now, when I think about it, how could my eldest brother, who was unfamiliar with him at that time, give the personal jade pendant to Lin Hui!
Xu Wanning's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Chen Wang, go and see where he is going."
