Chapter 251, Mingjing returns

The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year, the day when the legendary god of the stove descended to earth, everyone in Xie Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, on this day, everything this year is over, everyone regardless of rich or poor must be ready to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year, so even if the emperor wants to kill the Xie family, he will wait until the new year.

Although the situation was difficult, the old lady still solemnly arranged the sacrifice of the stove, and everyone was given a carefully baked stove cake and malt boiled stove sugar, the sweet and extremely sticky stove sugar chewed into the mouth, which seemed to reduce the taste of suffering.

But there is not much joyful atmosphere in the house, because it is about to be the New Year, the three men of the Xie family are not only still suffering in prison but also life and death are uncertain, although the old lady and Lin Xinhui forced a smile, but it is still difficult to hide the worry in their hearts, the slaves are very eye-catching, naturally know the unhappiness of the master's heart, everyone is careful for fear of touching the mold, although the house is busy preparing for the New Year, but can not find a bit of joy, but a few children heard that the New Year specially made new clothes for them, all of them are happy from the heart.

Changsheng was embroidering purses and piling silk flowers for Jin Shu in the house, because in addition to new clothes, the Xie family did not have any spare money to prepare any jewelry, and the purse and silk flowers were just for Jin Shu to make jewelry.

While he was busy, he ran in a hurry and shouted, "Girl! The old lady asked you to take the eldest lady over quickly, saying that there was something urgent! ”

Although Changsheng didn't know what to do, he also knew that he couldn't delay, so he hurriedly pulled Jin Shu over, and as soon as he approached the old lady's house, he heard a suppressed cry inside, and he was suddenly shocked that his legs and feet were a little weak, could it be that what happened to them?

She took a deep breath and held Jinshu's hand tightly, and forcibly mustered up the courage to walk over, but exclaimed with joy and sorrow: "Third master! ”

Huo Ran sat in the room Mingjing and Mingqing, the two of them were haggard with vegetables, which made people feel sad, but fortunately, the surface was very clean and tidy, although the clothes were ordinary cotton robes, the texture and workmanship were good, they were still brand new, and they should have been prepared by Xie Mingzhu for them. The old lady and Lin Xinhui cried suppressedly, and the little Jin Niang who provoked also cried, and Jin Wen and Jin Shu were full of curiosity.

Mingjing saw her and Jin Shu, his face was also full of joy and sorrow, he stared at Changsheng with good eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her in his heart, until Jin Shu shouted "Third Uncle", he suppressed a thousand words and the excitement in his heart hugged Jin Shu and said: "Shu'er, Third Uncle wants to kill you!" ”

After a little appeasement, he looked at Changsheng steadily, and then bowed deeply: "Miss Zhou, don't come unharmed!" Mingjing, thank you for taking care of Shu'er! ”

Changsheng had regained his composure, and when he saw that Mingche had not returned, his heart sank, could it be that what he guessed was actually the truth? But he was afraid of committing taboos and didn't dare to ask, so he made up his mind, and if others didn't mention him, he pretended not to know, and then asked Mingjing after turning his back on others.

Although he was still full of disgust when he saw the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he still endured it and said: "It's good that the second master and the third master come back, the old lady talks every day, today happens to be a small year, and she can still eat stove cakes and stove sugar!" ”

Nearly half a year in prison has made Ming Qing a lot more restrained, and he nodded to Changsheng to show his gratitude, which is not rude.

The old lady wiped her tears and motioned for Changsheng to sit down, and Changsheng was about to pull Jinshu to sit down, when she suddenly broke free of Changsheng's hand and ran to Mingjing's side, raised her head to look at him, and said undeniably: "Third uncle!" Where's Daddy? Why didn't he come back with you? Shu'er hasn't seen her father for a long time! Shu'er misses him so much! ”

Changsheng saw that the old lady and Ming Qing's faces flashed with a little hatred very quickly, Mingjing frowned painfully, and quickly changed to a smiling face and said: "Shu'er, don't worry, your father is busy and can't come back for the time being, and he will definitely come back to see Shu'er when he is free!" ”

Jin Shu cried "wow", and then said while crying: "You lied to me!" You lied to me! I know Daddy is in jail with you! Why didn't he come back when you came back? Did those people not let him come back? The cell is so dirty and smelly, and the food is so unpalatable, will he die if he doesn't come back? ”

Ming Qing snorted very lightly, Changsheng still heard it, she had a premonition that something must have happened to Ming Che, otherwise why only let the two of them go? Just in doubt, Mingjing pulled Jin Shu and whispered: "Shu'er, don't worry, your father really can't come back for the time being, don't worry, he will definitely come back!" When your father left, he asked me to come back and tell you not to cry, not to worry about him, and to let you listen to the old lady and aunt, and he will definitely come back to see you when he is done! ”

His words made Jinshu's heart feel better, but her face was still full of doubts, Changsheng understood that she didn't believe these words at all, but she didn't want to think about the worst, maybe she hoped that this was the case from her heart, and after struggling for a while, she finally nodded and said, "That's good, I'll wait for my father to come back." However, the second and third uncles have lost a lot of weight, they must be starving like this in prison, Shu'er will save the snacks for you to eat in the future! ”

Everyone laughed a few times in pain, Ming Qing said that he and Ming Jing were released the day before yesterday, and relatives and friends were far away, or Xie Mingzhu sent someone to take them to the other courtyard to take a bath to eat and change clothes, and asked the doctor to diagnose and confirm that there was no major problem, and was worried that they were too weak to bear the journey, so they let them rest and raise for two days, and only sent a carriage to them back this morning.

Changsheng saw Mingjing's helpless and painful eyes, knowing that he was worried about Mingche, but he was helpless, and looked at it inadvertently, after the old lady and Lin Xinhui cried, they changed to laughter and laughter, as if Mingqing no longer worried about the rest of the things after Mingqing came back, Mingche's life and death were not in her consideration at all, she only knew that her son was back.

If there is anything else to worry about Mingche, it is that he is worried that he will bring other disasters to the Xie family, Lin Xinhui is asking the old lady whether she should wash the dust for the two brothers at night, and at the same time asking how to arrange Mingjing's residence. Mingjing looked at all this with grief and helplessness, Changsheng was afraid that he would do something out of the ordinary under his excitement, so he gave him a comforting look and signaled him to be patient for the time being.

The old lady originally said that they should rest for a day, but now that Ming and Qing are in good spirits, she immediately ordered the kitchen to kill chickens and sheep at night and open a can of wine for them to catch the wind, as if Ming Che, who was still in prison, did not take it seriously at all.

Changsheng looked at all this coldly, and she wondered, in some time, would the old lady still be as kind to Jinshu as ever? Fortunately, although Mingche didn't come back, there is still Mingjing, he is always the master of the Xie family, and the old lady always has to take care of him a little bit when she does things, no matter how dissatisfied she is, she won't kill everyone in the big house, right?

What's more, it seems that although the new emperor refuses to let Ming Che go, the fate of Ming Che has not yet been decided, and the emperor may let him go if he remembers the old love. So Changsheng is still full of hope, at least, Mingjing is back, and she and Jinshu are no longer helpless in this house.
