Chapter 9 The Guest Residence
Wei Yun directly raised his own doubts in the first sentence, "Mom, this Dong Xueqing is really Uncle Dong's daughter?"
Fu Yuheng glared at her, "This is still fake. The secret runes from the army were included in the letter, and they would not be fake."
"It's just that my daughter didn't expect that the daughter raised by Uncle Dong was so weak." Wei Yun was disappointed, "By the way, mom, what did Uncle Dong write in the letter to you?"
"You Uncle Dong said that his only concern in this world is Xue Qing. In order to prevent the tribesmen from colluding with Xue Qing after his death, he secretly sold his property before his death, exchanged it for silver notes and handed it to Xue Qing, and entrusted the person to me. Please ask me to help Xue Qing see a wish-full man and let her say it smoothly."
"So, Dong Xueqing will live in our house in the future?"
"What?" Fu Yuheng looked at his eldest daughter, "Yun'er was unhappy?"
Wei Yun nodded honestly, "Although Uncle Dong has kindness to his grandfather, Dong Xueqing is an outsider after all. If she lets her live at home, her daughter always feels strange."
Fu Yuheng patted Wei Yun's back of his hand, "You Uncle Dong asked me to be alone, so from now on, Xueqing is my responsibility. I think that child is a sensible. If you think it's not good, just treat Xueqing as a guest who has lived for a long time."
After comforting her eldest daughter, Fu Yuheng looked at her younger daughter again, "Xi'er, what do you want to say to your mother?"
"Mom," Wei Xi held the handrail with her hands and asked her what she was most concerned about, "What is the decision of Daddy and Big Brother?"
"Your elder brother has decided to take rice seeds to Jiangnan. The lady of the farm has prepared it for you, and the fields inside are all ready-made." Fu Yuheng looked at his younger daughter with a smile, "When the mother will follow Xier to the farm, I wonder if Xierhuan welcomes you?"
"Welcome." Wei Xi couldn't help laughing.
Although she suggested going to the farm, she didn't want to leave her mother in her heart.
"By the way, mom, I took Xixi out today. I don't know what happened. Although there were accidents along the way, it was much smoother than usual." Wei Yun stroked his palm and his eyes began to shimmer when he said this. "Does this mean that Xixi's luck is getting better?"
Fu Yuheng was stunned and couldn't help but be happy. Then he suddenly thought of the rouge rice incident, and he was a little doubtful if there was any relationship between the two.
"It's a good thing to get better luck." Fu Yuheng stretched out his hand to smooth Wei Xi's hair, and a little more relaxed between his eyebrows and eyes, "My Xier is a good child, and she will definitely have good fortune."
Seeing that Wei Xi was about to learn to practice calligraphy, the two sisters stood up and left.
After leaving the main courtyard, Wei Yun looked at the direction of the Keyuan, "Xixi, Dong Xueqing lives in our house, don't you feel a little awkward?"
Wei Xi also followed her gaze and lowered her eyes: "My mother said, it's just a guest."
"Yes," Wei Yun lit his chin, "Actually, this Dong Xueqing looks good, and she is so gentle that she can't help but feel weak. Although it's not the personality I like, it's not unacceptable."
Wei Xi didn't echo, but just shook his head in his heart.
I'm afraid it's not the case.
She thought that Dong Xueqing was a little prettier.
But if my mother looks at her, she doesn't have to worry about it.
After all, I am just a little girl who was not stupid just now.

Huifengyuan.
Dong Xueqing took A Shui to the yard she would live in in the next few years under the guidance of Madam Rong.
Putting down his luggage, Madam Rong said respectfully to Dong Xueqing: "It's not that Miss Dong and your maid were hit by indifferent servants because they were not familiar with the arrangements in this courtyard. I'll take Miss Dong to visit this Huifeng Courtyard first."
Dong Xueqing did not have any irresponsible courtesy, and she was blessed with her blessing. "I'm sorry, Madam Rong." As she said that, she signaled A Shui to hand over a purse.
"I dare not, Miss Dong is a charming guest in our county magistrate's office." Madam Rong took a step to avoid the gift, avoided the purse he handed over, lowered her eyebrows and said, "I'd like to ask Miss Dong to come with the old slave."
"Ms. Dong, there are three separate yards in the guest garden," said Rong Mama Rong as she walked, "This Huifeng Garden is the closest to the backyard. It has all the bedroom, flower hall, study and lower room, and there is also a small kitchen. Because Miss Dong, you still need to be filial to you, this yard is also the quietest."
"Aunt Fu is intent, please ask Aunt Rong to thank Aunt Fu on behalf of Xueqing."
After walking around the yard and sitting back to the main hall, Madam Rong responded and waved to the outside.
Soon two little maids wearing the same colored green skirt came in and saluted Dong Xueqing.
"I have met Miss Dong after Alan (Azhi).
Madam Rong bowed to Dong Xueqing, "Miss Dong, Alan and Azhi are transferred by her wife to serve you. In addition to the two of them, there are four sweepers in the yard. The six of them will be transferred to you in the future."
"Also, the monthly silver for the young masters and ladies in the mansion is fifteen taels of silver every month, and your monthly silver slave will be sent to you later."
"This, how did Xue Qing have caused a lot of trouble to Aunt Fu, how could he ask for Yue Yin again!"
Madam Rong added again and calmly, "Please ask Miss Dong not to refuse, this is also what the wife means." After saying that, she took a step back, "Miss Dong has a good rest, and the old slave will leave."
As soon as Madam Rong left, Dong Xueqing hurriedly walked to the two little maids, glanced at the ordinary faces of these two people, then helped the person up in person, waved to A Shui, "Alan, A Zhi, this is the personal maid A Shui I brought. Our master and servant are just here for the first time. What are you unfamiliar? You have to help you two."
When Alan and Azhi heard this, they hurriedly bowed together, "Miss Dong is so serious, this is my duty."
Alan: "Ms. Dong has worked hard all the way, so I'll check if the hot water is ready."
Azhi: "I'll go make the bed for Miss Dong."
The two little maids hurriedly went to do things. Dong Xueqing and A Shui looked at each other, and their eyes were slightly sunken.
After being served and bathed, Alan and Azhi were stuffed into the soft quilt. Only then did Alan and Azhi bow and leave, but they did not forget to close the door considerately when they went out.
Dong Xueqing heard the sound of the door closing, sat up from the bed, looked at A Shui who was sitting on the seat. After A Shui shook his head gently, he said, "A Shui, what do you think of this Wei County Magistrate's Mansion? What kind of person do you think of my Aunt Fu now?"
Ah Shui lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his voice was low, "Miss, the guards of the Wei Mansion are very strict, and they are tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Along the way, the servants in the mansion are extremely regular. Look at the plate, no matter the maids and servants, they have some basic skills. As for the Mrs. Wei," she paused, "I can't see through it. Mrs. Wei's martial arts should be extremely high, and I dare not pay too much attention."
The sound fell and the room was quiet for a long time.
Dong Xueqing lay down again, "I understand. A Shui, I'll go to bed first, you can rest well!"
After the master and servant fell asleep, no one heard a very subtle rustling sound from a sycamore tree outside the window.
