Chapter 40: Mrs. Wu

After the weather cooled down a lot, Sheng Mingyu let Ming Jue be relieved and went to the private school to study.

Mingjue's end is imminent, these days, there can't be a moment of relaxation.

After discussing with the gentleman of the private school, Sheng Mingyu decided to let Mingjue live in the courtyard behind the private school.

Mingjue's daily food will be recorded in the account, and at the end of the month, Sheng Mingyu will ask Anxin to pay it off again.

In the past few days, Sheng Mingyu has been in the study, copying dozens of copies according to the spells on the "Taishang Xuanmiao Sutra".

When it came to the Wuyue Temple and the Sanqing Temple, she went out to set up a stall again.

However, a few days ago, she was entrusted by Zhan Hongling to take the documents of the government, although she was not a serious person in the yamen, but she was also hired by the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.

When Zhan Hongling brought the file of the murder and dismemberment case, she would just take a closer look.

These days, I first go to the stall to tell fortunes and divination to make money.

After the end of the Wuyue Temple, there were a few followers of the Wuyue Temple, who knew that Sheng Mingyu had some skills, so they came out to her to measure the characters, asked the good luck, and bought the talisman she drew by herself, before they were willing to leave.

After a while, Sheng Mingyu asked Anxin to bring over all the exorcism talismans that he brought over today were all sold out.

Sheng Mingyu asked Anxin to close the stall, and he got into the carriage parked in the alley next door, got into the carriage and changed his clothes, and Anxin was almost finished.

Sheng Mingyu changed his clothes, and it was Anxin's turn to change his clothes.

When Anxin changed his clothes, Sheng Mingyu moved the tables, chairs and benches that he had put away with peace of mind to the car.

"Miss Mingyu, Miss Mingyu!"

Sheng Mingyu heard someone call her twice, turned her head, and saw a woman in her thirties, with a kind face, standing neatly dressed on the side, staring at Sheng Mingyu.

Behind her, there were two little girls with double buns, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Sheng Mingyu looked at her carefully, and felt that she should be some kind of housekeeper of the family, otherwise she would not be so capable.

"Miss Mingyu, it's really you! Just now, Mrs. Li saw Miss Mingyu from a distance, but she didn't dare to be sure. The old woman hasn't seen Miss Mingyu for so many years, and she didn't think that Miss Mingyu would be so slim. ”

Listening to the mother-in-law's words, Sheng Mingyu smiled slightly. Who is this woman in front of you?

I even knew her name.

Listening to what she said, she hasn't seen herself for so many years, could it be that she has seen herself before?

Sheng Mingyu glanced at the woman again, searching for memories in her mind.

After some searching, Sheng Mingyu never found out the memory of the mother-in-law.

"Dare to ask who this mother is?"

Sheng Mingyu opened his mouth and asked.

When the woman heard Sheng Mingyu ask, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"The girl doesn't know who the old woman is?"

Sheng Mingyu shook his head.

"Girl, the old woman is Mrs. Wu who is serving by the old lady's side, when she was young, the old woman saw Miss Mingyu."

Mrs. Wu?

When Sheng Mingyu heard this name, a person appeared in her mind, and she knew who the woman in front of her was.

The mother-in-law in front of her is her grandmother, the mother-in-law brought by Mrs. Sheng from the Wu family, who has been serving her grandmother for many years.

She was the most powerful person by her grandmother's side.

It's just that today, Mrs. Wu came to find herself, what do you want to do?

Could it be that Mrs. Sheng asked Mrs. Wu to come to her?

Mrs. Wu saw the doubt in Sheng Mingyu's eyes, stepped forward, took the initiative to take Sheng Mingyu's hand, and said with a smile.

"Miss Mingyu, the old slave was instructed by the old lady to take Miss Mingyu to see her old man's house. Over the years, the old lady has always remembered the little boy and Miss Mingyu. ”

"It's just that the old lady has not heard of the world for many years, even if she wants to help the little boy and Miss Mingyu, she is also powerless."

Sheng Mingyu listened to Mrs. Wu's words, and there was no reaction on her face.

Since the death of her father, this old lady Sheng, that is, her and Ming Jue's grandmother, the two of them have never seen each other again.

has always been ignorant of their sister and brother.

Her grandmother did not live in the Shengguo Mansion, but in the Taoist temple outside the city, the Shangqing Palace.

Shangqing Palace is a royal Taoist temple, the aunt of today's official family, the eldest princess of Wei, has been living in Shangqing Palace since she separated from her husband's family.

The official family felt sorry for his aunt, so he gave the eldest princess of Wei the title of Jingci Immortal Master, and let the eldest princess of Wei cultivate in the Shangqing Palace.

Although the Shangqing Palace is a royal Taoist temple, the old ladies of the big families in Tokyo will also come to the Shangqing Palace on weekdays to pray for blessings, and some of the old ladies who were good friends with the eldest princess of Wei when she was young also lived in the Shangqing Palace.

Sheng Mingyu's grandmother, the old lady of the Sheng family, Wu, was the one who befriended the eldest princess of Wei when she was young, and she was the playmate of the eldest princess of Wei in the palace.

When the eldest princess of Wei lived in the Shangqing Palace, whenever she remembered all the unbearable things of the former concubine, she was sad and sad, and she couldn't stop crying, but it was the old lady Sheng who persuaded and coaxed her.

got into the carriage prepared by Mrs. Wu, Sheng Mingyu was not in a hurry to ask Mrs. Wu.

She wanted to find out what her grandmother wanted to say when she invited her to the Shangqing Palace.

Mrs. Wu looked at Sheng Mingyu with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and knew that she must have something in her heart that she wanted to ask herself.

"Girl, if you have anything to ask the old slave, just say it! When she came, the old lady instructed the old slave, saying that if the girl asked, the old slave would answer. ”

In that case, she asked.

In the end, Mrs. Sheng invited her to Shangqing Palace, what did she want to do?

"Mother Wu, I don't know if my grandmother asked you to come to me this time and take me to see my grandmother, but what does my grandmother want to say to me? I haven't seen my grandmother all these years, and Mingyu also misses her grandmother in her heart. ”

Mrs. Wu smiled and said.

"Miss Mingyu, don't hide it, when I came out of the Qing Palace, the old lady didn't tell me what to do in the past. However, the old lady always mentions Miss Mingyu these days, probably thinking about Miss Mingyu. ”

Old Madam Sheng misses her?

Sheng Mingyu asked himself in his heart?

Obviously, Old Madam Sheng didn't miss her anymore, she wanted to meet her, it was so simple.

The reason why Mrs. Sheng asked Mrs. Wu to take her to the Shangqing Palace in a carriage must be because she wanted to tell herself alone.

After a moment, Mrs. Wu spoke again.

"I heard that a few days ago, the assassination case of Zhang Daxue of the Hanlin Academy was solved by Miss Mingyu?"

Sheng Mingyu didn't know why Mrs. Wu asked like this, but she still replied.

"Mother Wu, it's indeed as you said."

Hearing Sheng Mingyu say this, Mrs. Wu raised her head, looked at Sheng Mingyu carefully, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her face, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised in her heart.

"The old lady once said that Miss Mingyu is a smart person, but she didn't think about it, but let the old lady say it."

Sheng Mingyu did not respond.

Mrs. Wu's words were not as simple as just praising her.

"The old slave heard the old lady say that Miss Mingyu took the eldest master of the Xu family to the Yongding Marquis Mansion a few days ago, and retired from the marriage between the Mingyu girl and the Yongding Marquis."

"That marriage was set for the girl when the eldest lord and the eldest lady were still alive. Why did the girl want to get out of the marriage?"

Seeing that Sheng Mingyu was silent, Mrs. Wu sighed and said.

"Such a big event, how could Miss Mingyu not inform the second master, the second wife, and the old lady first, and then make decisions without authorization? After the old lady heard about Miss Mingyu, she was not very happy. ”
