Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 366, Plan Ahead
Chapter 366, take precautions
At dusk, Mingjing came back, with a dusty face, and his brows were furrowed, looking preoccupied, Changsheng knew that he must have something to hide from her, and it was a big matter about two people, so he wanted to ask what was going on.
Mingjing took the tea she poured and glanced at her meaningfully, but didn't say anything, Changsheng couldn't help but ask: "You just came back and you ran out in a hurry, as soon as you went out, it was a day, what was the matter?" ”
Mingjing's eyes dodged and said, "It's a happy event, didn't you say before that as long as you are free, let me go and see Zihu to see how she is doing?" I just took the time to see her......"
As soon as Changsheng heard the news of Zihu, he immediately thought of Zihu because of the insults and injuries she had suffered, grabbed Mingjing's hand and asked sadly and happily, "Why didn't you tell me when you went to see her?" Tell me how she is doing? Did she give birth? Is it straightened? ”
Mingjing smiled and sat down with her: "Don't worry, tell you, she is doing very well, she just gave birth to a daughter, and she has been corrected by her husband as a steproom, and she is no longer a concubine, although the family is not rich, but her husband is a sincere and capable person, treat her well, Zihu is hard-working and hard-working, and her life is good, I left her some silver, told her husband to treat her well, and said that she had the opportunity to take you to see her, she was happy, that is, she refused to come to the house to say anything, I knew that she had a knot, so I didn't force her." ”
Changsheng thought of Ming Qing's ugly behavior, remembered the disgusting and frightened eyes when he saw him, and suddenly a wave of anger surged into his heart, but he also knew that it was not the time to attack, so he held back, but his good mood was destroyed, and he suddenly sat down sullenly and was silent.
Mingjing understood her feelings, hugged her shoulders, and said seriously: "I know that I have wronged you too much to let you come back, I am sorry for you, so that you have to face the people you dislike every day, and you can't stay by your side every day." I still have a few things to do, and when I'm done, I won't go out anymore, and I'll be by your side every day, and I won't let you face that person alone. ”
Changsheng couldn't bear that he was too worried about himself, so he changed the topic and asked, "What else is going on?" Is it important? Do you have to do it? ”
"Yes, one is to take the time to go to Uncle Xu's house in the capital to see if the two old men are in good health, and whether Wang Jinhua does what we tell us to do, whether he has caused trouble to the two old men, and the second is to inquire about the whereabouts of Uncle Xu's son, no matter how good we are, we will honor them again, the son is always the flesh and blood they have worked hard to raise, and nothing can match their longing for their son, and the third thing is that the eldest brother entrusted me, let me be sure to find his two concubines, Li Chunsang and Lu Shuang'e."
Puzzled, Changsheng asked, "Why?" Didn't he promise Anyang not to take a concubine again? If they come back, will the county lord of Anyang be able to tolerate it? I remember that he also had a concubine surnamed Qiu, so he didn't care about this? ”
"You forgot? After Aunt Qiu and you got out of the prison, didn't you think that you were young and beautiful and had relatives to throw yourself in? Presumably she can get by, unless she comes to the door by herself, the eldest brother will not look for her again, even if she comes back, she can only do decorations, she is still young and has relatives, she may not be willing to come back. But Li Chunsang is different from Lu Shuang'e, Li Chunsang is one year older than the eldest brother, he has accompanied the eldest brother since he was young, he was frightened and suffered some in those years, and he is considered a bad concubine, in fact, the eldest brother only feels guilty and pity for her, many years ago, he actually only had his sister-in-law alone in his heart, to be honest, he may not really take it to heart as the lord of Anyang. He was just worried that Aunt Li was old and decrepit, had no property and no relatives to take refuge in, and couldn't bear her to suffer outside, but he just wanted her to spend the rest of her life in peace, of course, if she had a good life, or didn't want to come back, it would be fine.
As for Lu Shuang'e, that is his own cousin, the eldest brother's biological mother, Aunt Mo, told him to treat his cousin well before she died, whether she likes her or not, you must not let her suffer, in fact, the eldest brother has never liked her, but he has always regarded her as a sister, and he can't bear to go against his biological mother's will to find her back. ”
Changsheng nodded: "Big brother is a responsible person, I can understand this, I'm fine, you don't have to worry, if it's convenient, just look for it, and do the other two things by the way." It's just that where are Aunt Li and Aunt Lu placed after they are recovered? I think that even if they are only in vain after they come back, the county lord of Anyang may not be able to tolerate it. ”
"The eldest brother said, after Lu Shuang'e got it back, she didn't want to persuade her, first went to her concubine status, and then properly settled in the name of her cousin, and found a good family to marry her, Aunt Li is old and has no relatives to vote for, if she wants to go, it would be better, if she really doesn't want to lose this concubine identity, just stay with us, she is fine and capable, old-fashioned, and knows the past in the house, it is good to give you a boost, you have the right to be a housekeeper daughter-in-law, I can rest assured with her by your side."
Changsheng has gotten along with Li Chunsang, and he doesn't hate her, it's okay to think about it, Lin Xinhui and Ming Qing are full of bad stomachs, there is no one available around them, and Li Chunsang can be more at ease, anyway, she has nowhere to go, no one can rely on, in the past few years, the Xie family has changed dramatically, and she has seen everything, and she will do her best to help her and Mingjing, so she will accept it.
Seeing Mingjing's dusty face, and was about to let him wipe his face, a girl next to the old lady came to pass the word, saying that the old lady asked the third master and the third lady to go over.
Changsheng immediately understood how he came back, and glanced at Mingjing and said, "You go and reply to the old lady first, just say I know, it's just that the third master just came back, he washed his face and changed his clothes, and we will go over." ”
The little girl said goodbye and left, Mingjing looked at Changsheng with a strange look and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" What the hell? Looking at me with such eyes? ”
Changsheng laughed a few times, then cleared his throat and pretended to say: "After you left in the morning, the old lady has already ordered Douhuang to move out, although the residence is very tight, the old lady is still very considerate and tries to let Douhuang live in a room alone, so that the third master can go to her in the future, remember not to disappoint the old lady, and remember to thank her when you meet her old man."
Mingjing said nonchalantly: "What is her mind, and it is not my method that has worked?" How's that, isn't the trick my husband used last night useful? I don't believe how cheeky that servant is, and she can really stay here."
Thinking of Mingjing's brazenness and shamelessness last night and his embarrassment and shame after seeing Douhuang this morning, Changsheng couldn't help but punch Mingjing, and drank lightly with a red face: "Shameless, you can say it." Okay, okay, let's get down to business, the family is so tight, the old lady lets Douhuang live alone in a room, what are your plans for this filial son?
Ming gave her a blank look: "What can you plan?" We showed her a good way, she didn't go, she had to rely on us, then let her ask for her own hardship, I don't believe it, the old lady can still care about me until I sleep at night? If she forces me, I will say that I don't want to give birth to a concubine and be despised in the future, and what else can she say? ”
Changsheng nodded, and told him about going to see Sister-in-law Xia today, Mingjing was taken aback when he heard the changes in Ming and Qing, and he also felt that there must be something strange in it. These two people have never been worry-free, the situation at home has become like this, they don't think that the family will work together and live a good life in harmony, and they always calculate everything to others to get benefits from it, even if it is harmful to others, they are willing to do it, if there is an abnormal situation, they must be careful to beware of it, compared with them, what is the little thing about Douhuang, they are the most annoying.
Seeing Changsheng's worried look, Mingjing reassured her, saying that she would definitely keep an eye on Mingqing, and also asked Changsheng himself to be careful everywhere, so as not to get into the way of the two of them.
Changsheng reassured him that it was better to deal with the old lady first, and then find a way to find out the reason.
Came to the main room, the old lady was talking to Douhuang about something, it seemed that she wanted to add to the blockage, and she was willing to spend money to make Douhuang dress up extraordinarily delicate and moving, orange silk jacket, green satin skirt, black and bright hair bun inserted a chic style of golden hairpin and a few pink silk flowers, there is a charm, seeing them come in, Douhuang glanced at Mingjing with shame and resentment, and hurriedly came over to salute, Changsheng did not ignore the resentment when Douhuang's gaze swept over her.
Mingjing directly ignored the past and saluted the old lady, Douhuang's eyes instantly turned red, Changsheng didn't want to be nagged by the old lady for trivial things, so he smiled lightly and helped her, and then saluted the old lady, the old lady saw Mingjing's indifference to Douhuang, frowned but didn't say anything, motioned for them to sit down and talk.
Then quietly asked Mingjing what he had done when he went out all day today, Mingjing avoided the importance and said lightly about going to find Li Chunsang and Lu Shuang'e on the order of his eldest brother Mingche, the old lady was taken aback, and sighed and said: "Your eldest brother is a long-term person, Li Chunsang is old and decrepit, Lu Shuang'e has always been unfavored, he actually still reads, it seems that I am not good, at that time, the family was in trouble everywhere, and I wanted not to cause trouble to your eldest brother, while they were still a little rushed, I sent them all away, but I didn't think he could not let go of it, It's because I didn't think it through, and now I'm going to ask you to look for it everywhere, but is there any news? ”
Mingjing shook his head: "There is no news yet, but the two of them are weak women, they have no relatives, how far can they run, I ask more, maybe there will be news soon." ”
The old lady nodded: "That's right, when I sent them away, although the family was difficult, I still tried my best to give more property, and the private house they saved was also taken away. It's just that the county lord of Anyang can tolerate them? Although they followed your eldest brother before Anyang entered the door, Anyang may not be able to tolerate it, and it will not be good if the two of them make a fuss because of this, don't lose your big one because of a small one."
