Chapter 161, Brother's Heart

Mingjing gradually regained her composure and asked puzzledly, "So what's the matter with my sister-in-law?" Isn't she the eldest sister of the second sister-in-law? She was also the eldest when she married you, how could the Lin family treat the concubine so harshly? ”

Speaking of his deceased wife, Mingche's eyes were full of tenderness and sadness, and he sighed and said: "Your sister-in-law has a pitiful fate since she was a child, and you also know that her biological mother died early when she was five years old, and her father died just after she was ten years old, and since then she has been begging for a living in the hands of her mother-in-law, although she has never said it, but I heard Granny Lu say before that her mother-in-law is an indifferent and selfish woman, although she will not abuse her, but she has been left to fend for herself. I don't need to ask to know that she has a hard time when she is a child, but fortunately, Grandma Lu has always treated her well, and she can grow up safely by the side of Baimei, which is also the main reason why she was deceived by them. Your sister-in-law can marry me, also because no one has been in charge of her marriage, and her mother-in-law doesn't care about it, so she is still in the boudoir when she is too old. It's just because Lin Xinhui wants to repent of marrying the Ming and Qing dynasties that her mother-in-law remembered her, so Li Dai Taozhuang married her to me, as for why my father and mother were able to agree to this back then, I don't know. ”

After listening to this, Mingjing smiled expectantly: "The second brother wants to fight with you for everything since he was a child, everything that can be snatched must be robbed, and he will not let go of the wife room hired for you at home, but who wants to fulfill you and your sister-in-law." To tell the truth, you and your sister-in-law made me very envious back then, and it was from that time that I felt that the happiest man was not the three wives and four concubines, but only one person who had the same heart as you, so for so many years I relied on my father's last words and refused my mother to propose marriage for me. I really can't imagine what you would be like if you married Lin Xinhui? ”

Ming Che shook his head painfully: "If she can live, even if she is like Lin Xinhui, as long as I come back, I can still see her, as long as Shu'er has a mother to take care of!" ”

"However, if the sister-in-law really has the same temperament as Lin Xinhui, I am afraid you will not be so unable to forget her, and even if you see it, you may not be willing to pay attention to her. There are beautiful women from time to time, good wives from time to time, I hope that I have the same good life as my eldest brother, and I can meet a person who is in love, instead of being like the second brother, the room full of warblers and warblers, and the endless jealousy lawsuits every day, everyone is doing everything possible to compete for favor and profit, but no one really thinks about him.

Look at the brocade book again, he is also the son of the second brother, but because he is a concubine, the second sister-in-law doesn't want to see him because he is not his own child, and his mother and second brother don't pay much attention to him, so that he is not bullying the little girl every day at a young age, or teasing the old slave, seeing the girl is more fierce than anyone else, seeing the second brother and sister-in-law is like a mouse seeing a cat, every time I see Shu'er, I want to scare her, I don't know how many times I have been reprimanded, if I don't think of him, he is very pitiful, I really want to teach a good lesson! ”

Ming Che looked at him and asked solemnly, "Are you really planning to take a concubine?" What about the two girls who have a room? ”

Thinking of Douhuang and Jiaoxiang, his nominal women, especially Douhuang, who was nominally his favorite woman, Mingjing sneered: "It was given to me by my mother, and it was given by the elders, where do I dare to refuse?" If a big hat of unfilial piety is buttoned down, I am done with everything, and it is possible to be imprisoned and exiled if it is serious, how dare I not want it? But then again, the cow doesn't eat grass and presses her head, she has to force me to go against my will, so I want to fool her, thinking that with my mother's deed of sale, I will let her and Ming Qing pinch the round? ”

Mingche nodded with satisfaction: "I can rest assured that you know how to plan for yourself." You have to be like this to her, be obedient on the surface, and secretly think of another way to deal with her, just like you did before, you can only suffer losses. Don't worry, with the eldest brother here, I don't think she dares to go too far! If you are determined not to take a concubine, remember that it is difficult for a man to chase after him, and you will definitely marry a good wife. ”

mentioned marrying a wife, but Mingjing remembered immortality, and couldn't say what it was like in his heart. He likes her, but he still can't figure out her thoughts, is her alienation from him because of the difference in identity, or because she doesn't have him in her heart at all? If it is the former, even if she does not marry each other silently for the rest of her life, she must fulfill her insistence on not wanting to be a concubine. If it is the latter, don't you have the same blessing as your eldest brother in this life to meet like-minded people?

Mingche said with a heavy heart: "I have something important to come back, and you must not tell anyone." I'm just leaving in two days, how can I meet Shu'er? I'm in Jinyang, and it's her who worries about her day and night! ”

Mingjing reacted at this time, and forgot to tell him an important thing: "Big brother doesn't know, as soon as my crown ceremony ended that day, the eldest sister brought Jin Shu and Miss Zhou to Pei Mansion, and I haven't seen Shu'er for a few days, her temperament has changed a lot, there were so many guests that day, she actually dared to come to participate in the crown ceremony!" ”

Mingche was obviously surprised and delighted, and asked in disbelief: "Shu'er is no longer so afraid of life?" Is she willing to leave the house and go to someone else's house? I'm so happy! I really didn't expect Shu'er to change so much, if she has always been the same as before, how can I be worthy of your sister-in-law? After thinking about it for a while, he was suspicious, what did his eldest sister Xie Mingzhu have in mind? Isn't it because you want to repeat the old story again? Fortunately, if it weren't for Miss Zhou following, he really didn't worry about Shu'er going to Pei's Mansion.

"Yes, the eldest brother can't recognize her when he sees her, she is now taller and fatter, her face is ruddy, and her temperament is becoming more and more lively. She is very close to Miss Zhou, and Miss Zhou is really good at teaching children, she is willing to listen to everything Shu'er says, and her temperament is not so stubborn, I think she is no different from a normal child now. To be honest, Miss Zhou and her sister-in-law are really similar in their thoughts and actions, if it weren't for their backgrounds there, and they didn't look alike in the slightest, I really doubt that they are sisters! ”

Speaking of Changsheng, although Mingjing restrained herself, she still couldn't help but praise her, and the whole person looked radiant.

The clear and deep eyes are even more unpredictable: "No wonder you have repeatedly recommended her to be Shu'er's upbringing aunt, it's really good." She has so many similarities with your sister-in-law, maybe she is not worried about Shu'er losing her mother at a young age, and she is afraid that I, as a father, will not take good care of her, so I will send her to Shu'er in the dark. If not, how could there be such a coincidence? As you said, she will also sing nursery rhymes that only your sister-in-law can sing, she will cook exactly the same meals as your sister-in-law, even the dumplings and fried rice are the same taste, and the two of them behave in a similar manner, if there is no possibility, I really doubt that she is your sister-in-law's own sister. ”

He remembered the first and only meeting with Changsheng, remembered all the things she did for Jinshu, remembered the similar charm between her and his deceased wife, and suddenly felt that she must have some kind of special relationship with his deceased wife.
