Chapter 214, at a loss

The Pei family is very lively these days, as if it has returned to the scene when Xie Wuya was alive. Although the old lady was not very happy in her heart, she had to admit that all this was all due to Ming Cheng.

Not only did there be a lot of officials and world friends, but even the county lord of Anyang, who was angry, came to Xie Mansion again, and Cheng Ziyu refused to come behind him, and the two arrived at Xie Mansion almost at the same time.

This time Cheng Ziyu learned to be obedient, she was much older in talking and doing things, she was careful everywhere, and she was no longer so tightly entangled with Mingjing, as if she was thinking about him everywhere, the old lady's impression of her after the last time was greatly discounted, although it was not good to say anything in her father's face, but the attitude was lukewarm and made her uncomfortable, she had no choice but to find Changsheng, Changsheng was more polite and cold than usual, and almost didn't say a superfluous word, so angry that Cheng Ziyu couldn't wait to turn around and leave, but thinking of her previous situation at home, She still held back, but behaved more affectionately than before.

And the county lord of Anyang probably because of the shadow of the last time, he also understood that the old lady didn't want to see her at all, but didn't care about the old lady's attitude, and took care of the Xie family's largest guest house. Because of where her identity is, although the Xie family is dissatisfied, they don't dare to make too much trouble, and even Ming and Qing dare not be rude to her like last time because they are afraid of Mingqing.

Everyone could see that she was interested in Mingche, but no one could see Mingche's meaning, he was as respectful and polite to her as before, but lukewarm, neither close nor bored, including the county lord of Anyang, no one understood his thoughts.

Changsheng's life has completely lost its former peace, Mingche came to visit his daughter at any time, not to mention, even Mingjing regained interest in Jinshu Courtyard because of Cen Hao's departure, either by accompanying Mingche and Shu'er, or by visiting Aunt Tai, anyway, he had to come every day, and the county lord of Anyang was really bored, or in order to show his virtue to Mingche, he came to see Jinshu if he was fine, and Changsheng almost didn't even have time to calm down and drink a cup of tea.

She has been holding back, thinking that Mingche can't stop at home for long, just ten days, there is nothing that can't be endured, but Shu'er can't stand it, and she complains to Changsheng as soon as no outsiders are present. Although Changsheng was kind and comforting, he didn't want to let her not see outsiders, this is the Tang Dynasty, the constraints on women are not as **** as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a woman who is really raised in the deep boudoir and does not understand the world will not even have the ability to protect herself in the future.

I don't know when, the rumor that Changsheng was going to be a concubine for Mingche spread rapidly in the Xie Mansion, and the minions all privately spread that when Mingche returned to Jinyang, he would take the opportunity to accept Changsheng and take her to Jinyang, and maybe take the eldest lady away. Changsheng was kept in the dark, but he didn't understand why the county lord of Anyang looked strange when he saw her.

In the afternoon of this day, Changsheng was still giving a lesson to Jinshu and Coke Kexi in the West Cross Courtyard, but Mingjing came in, because it was used to being lively these days, so everyone was used to it, and Changsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Mingjing coming over, anyway, no one cared about the chaos in the house.

Shu'er treats Mingjing no better than outsiders in the end, seeing that Mingjing is not only not annoying, but also affectionately pesters him to ask this and that, Mingjing teased her for a while and said: "I'll say something to Aunt Changsheng, are you allowed?" ”

Shu'er looked at Changsheng and Mingjing with a pair of black and white eyes, and nodded with a smile: "Third Uncle has something to say, just tell your aunt, I'll wait for you here!" ”

Changsheng scratched her little nose dotingly, understood her careful thoughts, she was apprehensive about Cen Hao wanting to take her away, and wished that Mingjing would come over every day to keep her. It's just that what does Mingjing want to say to himself alone?

The two came to the lounge on the side, entered the door clearly, his face became gloomy, and he looked at Changsheng fixedly and said, "Changsheng, tell me the truth, am I bad?" ”

Changsheng was stunned: "Where did the third master's words come from?" When did I say that the third master is bad? ”

A deep pain flashed on Mingjing's face: "Aren't you unwilling to be a concubine?" I proposed that as long as I can accept you as a concubine, even if I don't marry a wife for life, you don't want to, but why are you willing to be the eldest brother's concubine? Do you think that the eldest brother will promise to accept you like me and not continue the strings? Tell me the truth, am I bad? Bad enough for you to disdain? ”

Changsheng looked at him puzzled: "I don't know what the third master is talking about?" I don't want to be the third master's concubine, but it's not that the third master is very bad, but I swear not to be anyone's concubine, when did I say that I want to be the uncle's concubine? Where do you come from? ”

Mingjing breathed a sigh of relief obviously, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he stared at Changsheng suspiciously for a while and asked, "You really don't know about this?" The Manfu is all spreading the news that the eldest brother wants to take you as a concubine, and also said that the eldest brother will take you to office when he returns to Jinyang this time......"

Changsheng was a little angry: "The whole house is rumored to believe you?" You're like this every time, and you believe it at the slightest hint of wind, have you ever asked me? I don't believe it, and there is anyone who knows my own mind better than I do? ”

Mingjing grinned, his eyes seemed to be full of ****, and Changsheng was a little inexplicable: "What the hell are you?" One moment angry, one moment laughing? ”

"It's not that I'm suspicious, I asked my eldest brother first, and he didn't deny it, he said that you have done so much for Shu'er, and you have made a mistake for life for this, and he must give you an explanation, so I believe it!"

Changsheng was stunned, what does it mean to be clear? When he first came back, he saw Shu'er become healthy and cute, and said that he would not disappoint himself, and he would definitely give himself an explanation, but he thought that he would not increase his salary with more rewards, but who knew that his so-called reward and explanation was to accept himself as a concubine! What is this called?

Xuan and figured it out again, in this era, not only Mingche thinks like that, maybe all people think that Mingche accepts himself as a noble concubine and a righteous concubine of Jinshu, which is the best arrangement and reward for himself, and he has climbed high, with the family background and Mingche status of the Xie family, the women who can be Mingche's concubines are generally the daughters of low-class officials and ordinary scholars, and even the concubines of the family.

Don't talk about others, if her mother in her hometown hears it, she will think that it is an excellent family business, and everyone thinks that she is a blessing from heaven, including Mingqing herself, and even some people think that her purpose of treating Jinshu wholeheartedly is this, and no one has ever thought of asking her if she is willing.

An indescribable anger churned in Changsheng's chest, and he couldn't wait to leave like Cen Hao, but when she thought of Shu'er, she hesitated again, Mingche left in ten days, Mingjing was often not in the house, Aunt Tai herself could not be protected, who could really love her? If she goes to the negative page, she won't be worried about coming back in the future, and she won't be able to come back!

She no longer paid attention to Mingjing, and covered her face in great confusion and whispered: "Sister, what should I do?" Tell me! ”
