Chapter 9: Legends

Back at the Sheng family's mansion, it was already dark.

Walking into the courtyard, Sheng Mingyu saw Mingjue, holding a book, shaking his head and walking around the courtyard.

However, Sheng Mingyu looked at him, it didn't look like he was concentrating on reading, and after reading a few words casually, he looked towards Sheng Mingyu.

After reading a few more sentences casually, his eyes fell on Sheng Mingyu.

From this point of view, his mind was not on reading at all.

It's waiting for yourself. It's like there's something I want to say to her alone.

After Sheng Mingyu handed over the things he was carrying in his hand to Anxin, he walked towards Mingjue.

"Mingjue, don't you honestly study in the house, what are you doing when you come out and walk around?" Ming Jue glanced at her, and then at the sky outside.

handed the book in his hand to the little guy who was accompanying him, and Ming Jue asked her with a blushing face.

"What time is it? How did you come back? Could it be that something happened on the way back? ”

Sheng Mingyu didn't want to tell Mingjue about the bad things he had just encountered, so he simply said that he went to Puji Temple to worship his father.

"My sister went to Puji Temple, looked at the spiritual seat enshrined by my father and mother in Puji Temple, and gave the monks who were in charge of guarding the Dizang Pavilion ten taels of silver, telling them to fill more sesame oil in front of the spiritual seat of my father and mother, and the year's melon and fruit tribute could not be less."

"Where did you get any money? Didn't you meet that stone spring again? He gave you the money?"

Ming Jue knew that Sheng Mingyu didn't have much silver, and just now she said that she gave ten taels of silver to the monk guarding the Dizang Pavilion, he was suspicious in his heart.

I thought it was my sister who was on the street today, and met the stone spring again, and the stone spring gave her silver.

"This silver was given to my sister when she met Cousin Xu Min on the way. You know, Cousin Xu Min has always taken care of our sister and brother. Since she gave us the money, I accepted it. ”

When Sheng Mingyu spoke, he only heard Mingjue in front of him, and his stomach "gurgled", as if he was hungry.

"Mingjue, are you hungry? Let's go eat! Sheng Mingyu glanced at Mingjue, only to see that he was looking at himself, snorted lightly with his nose, and said.

"I'm not hungry, if my sister is hungry, let's go eat! Those ten taels of silver, is it really from Cousin Xu Min to my sister?"

Mingjue asked again, obviously not believing what Sheng Mingyu said.

He knew that Cousin Xu Min often helped the two of them, but he would not give his sister ten taels of silver all at once.

Since Ming Jue refused to believe her, she could only tell Ming Jue the truth, and today she met a nobleman, and the nobleman gave her silver.

"Ming Jue, these ten taels of silver are indeed not given to me by Cousin Xu Min. But when I went out today, I did meet Cousin Xu Min, and Cousin Xu Min's husband is equally famous. ”

"Getting to the point! How did you get those ten taels of silver?" Ming Jue saw that she deliberately avoided the topic, and asked again in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, sister, that's the point." Sheng Mingyu paused, just said.

"Whether you believe it or not, my sister did meet a noble man on the road today, and after asking me a few words, the noble man gave me twenty taels of silver."

"What nobleman? What is your family background? How's it looking?" Ming Jue reluctantly asked three more questions.

Sheng Mingyu was speechless for a while, Mingjue, this stinky boy, what happened today? kept holding her and asking questions.

"According to my sister's guess, it should be a noble person from the palace, with an average appearance and an excellent family background."

"Then is he interested in his sister? Otherwise, what are you going to do with twenty taels of silver for my sister for no reason?" Mingjue said again, and the tea that Sheng Mingyu had just drunk squirted out all at once.

What is Ming Jue thinking in this little head?

Since she is said to be a nobleman, how can she look down on a woman like her?

Sheng Mingyu thought about it carefully in his heart, maybe there was this possibility!

Otherwise, the man in black wouldn't have told her in the end that he wanted to admit her into the Yuan Palace?

It's a pity that she's not interested in marrying now.

Sheng Mingyu stretched out his hand and patted Mingjue's head gently, and his voice was very gentle.

"Silly boy, how could it be? How can that noble man look down on me, an orphan girl with no father and no mother? Don't think about it. Maybe he looked at his sister's pity and planned to help me. ”

Sheng Mingyu said this, and Mingjue had no choice but to believe her suspiciously. But he always felt that his sister must have something to hide from him.

It's just that he has to investigate what it is to find out.

When he got up on the second day, Sheng Mingyu was still resting on the couch, so he hurried into the house and told Sheng Mingyu what people were talking about on the street today.

It was outside the gate of Puji Temple yesterday, Xu Min and the same name.

Afterwards, Xu Min returned to Qi Mansion and was blamed by the eldest wife of the Qi family for a while, saying that Xu Min had married into Qi Mansion for many years and had never come out.

Xu Min defended a few words, but was scolded by the eldest wife of the Qi family, and shouted for Qi Ming to divorce his wife.

Xu Min was angry for a while, so he took the dowry maid and the maid and went back to Xu's house.

However, the Qi family was finally afraid of the Xu family, who had military merits, and after nightfall, the eldest wife of the Qi family took Qi Ming to the Xu family in a carriage, comforted the people of the Xu family, and said a lot of good things to Xu Min, and the matter was over.

However, Sheng Mingyu felt that this matter was just the beginning.

With the temperament of Qi Ming, without a Miao'er, there will be a second or third Miao'er, unless Xu Min is pregnant and gives birth to the child of the Qi family, otherwise he will only go to the two roads of divorce and divorce in the end.

At night, after Sheng Mingyu asked An Xin to go to the ear room next door to rest, she read the "Taishang Xuanmiao Sutra" alone in the house.

Zhang Tianshi wrote in this scripture that hundreds of years ago, a great plague broke out in the previous dynasty, which could resurrect the dead and turn them into bloodthirsty beasts.

This group of monsters came out day and night, and as soon as they came out, they slaughtered several villages, and the people of the entire village became this kind of beast monster.

It is said that the fall of the previous dynasty was related to this catastrophic plague.

In the second half of the scriptures, Zhang Tianshi is deified.

Zhang Tianshi invited the heavenly soldiers and generals to subdue these bloodthirsty monsters.

These myths and legends were heard countless times when my mother was still alive.

However, she vaguely felt that the plague described in this "Taishang Xuan Miao Sutra" was related to the story that her mother had told her about Princess Yuan's Li family.

Princess Li also became a bloodthirsty monster, biting the people around her, and turning those people around her into monsters like her.

Putting the scriptures under the pillow, Sheng Mingyu decided not to think about such a thing anymore.

Such a plague should not happen again, right?

A few days later, the Duchess of Sheng Guo asked someone to hand over the sticker. said that she hadn't seen Sheng Mingyu for a long time, and she missed it a little, so she asked Sheng Mingyu to take Mingjue to Shengguo Mansion.

Duchess Sheng Guo wanted to see Ming Jue, and after Sheng Mingyu told Ming Jue about it, Ming Jue rejected her.

"Sister, I don't want to go to the Shengguo Mansion, let alone meet the people in the Shengguo Mansion. Since it was Duchess Sheng Guo who asked someone to hand over the post, my sister should go and take a look! ”

If Mingjue doesn't go, she can only go alone.

asked the mother-in-law on the second gate to prepare the carriage, and Sheng Mingyu went to the Shengguo Mansion with peace of mind.
