Chapter 143: Cousin
As soon as the morning dawned, Yang Shu took Ming Er and Ming San back.
The two of them are serious offenders, and they can be brought out of prison, or Jiang Wenfeng specially approved.
The Ming family held the funeral in a low-key manner.
I didn't care about these things, because the Ji family finally came.
The Ji family came to Ji Ling, the eldest son of Master Ji, and Mingwei wanted to call his eldest cousin.
As soon as this Ji Dagongzi entered the Ming Mansion, he was a piece of vegetarian food, and the Ming family was up and down, all wearing linen and filial piety, and his face was sad.
He asked the little guy who led the way: "It's been so long, hasn't my aunt's funeral been done yet?" ”
The capital is not close to Dongning, even if the Ji family receives the news and rushes over immediately, it will take a month.
Therefore, Ji Ling never thought that he would be able to catch up with the funeral.
Who knew that the little maid replied: "The funeral of the third lady has been delayed, but now it is the funeral of the sixth master." ”
Ji Ling frowned when he heard this, what is this, why does it sound weird?
Meaning, his aunt is indeed not buried yet, and the sixth master of the Ming family has also passed away?
While speaking, the little servant had already taken him to the reception place, and it was the fourth son Mingsheng who received him.
Ji Ling looked at Mingsheng listlessly and his eyes were blank, and his heart was even more puzzled.
Even if it's his sixth uncle who dies, it doesn't have to be like this, right? It's like I'm dead to my parents......
The two sides greeted each other and said some polite words, and Ji Ling proposed to meet Mrs. Ming.
Mingsheng said: "Grandmother Uncle is too sad to see guests, I have already explained it before, Cousin Ji is here, just go to see the seventh sister." ”
Well, there is a funeral at home, and it is true that you can't take care of these false etiquette, which is normal.
Ji Ling followed Mingsheng into Yufangyuan.
Mingwei received the news and had been waiting for a long time.
Because of Mrs. Ming, she has great expectations for the Ji family.
With the character of the third lady of Ming, the people from the Ji family should not be bad, right?
In the midst of his thoughts, he saw Mingsheng take someone into Yu Fangyuan.
This man was about twenty-two or three years old, thin but straight, with a dignified and serious countenance, half-worn clothes, but decent workmanship and fabrics. Walking calmly, when you look at it with your eyebrows, your eyes are clear. It's just that the temperament is a little cold, and it's not easy to get close.
Mingwei was pleased, just looking at this appearance, it was a rare good demeanor.
"Xiao Qi," Ming Sheng met her eyes, and lowered his head evasively, "Cousin Ji has come to see you." ”
Mingwei stepped forward to salute: "Big cousin." ”
Ji Ling returned the salute and said, "My father was very sad to learn that my aunt had died, so he ordered me to visit my cousin and also put incense sticks on my aunt." ”
Ming Wei said: "The eldest cousin has traveled hard, let's go to the house for a cup of tea first." ”
Then he welcomed them in, and commanded the servant to serve tea.
When she did these things, Ji Ling secretly looked at them.
Master Ji is seven or eight years older than Mrs. Ming, when Ji Ling was young, Mrs. Ming was not married, and often helped her sister-in-law and nephew, so Ji Ling was very close to this aunt.
When he was a child, his aunt was also in Beijing, and the two families came and went frequently, and Ji Ling still remembered the appearance of this little cousin.
She was born like an aunt, a little person like Yuxue, very beautiful, but unfortunately she was born with dementia, she was always stupid, and she couldn't understand when she spoke, like a porcelain doll that couldn't move.
A while ago, my father received a letter from my aunt, saying that my little cousin was cured.
This is a happy event.
When my aunt left Beijing, the two families were verbally engaged. My aunt has a hard life, she is young and widowed, and she only has such a stupid daughter. If their mother's family doesn't take care of it, who else can they expect?
It's just that in the past two years, the little five have made a lot of trouble when they know about it.
Although it was impossible for them to repent of the marriage, the family also felt guilty for asking him to marry a stupid daughter-in-law.
Now that the little cousin is well, everyone is naturally happy.
When I didn't see it, Ji Ling was very curious, this little cousin who has been stupid for more than ten years, is it the same as ordinary people?
Looking at her now, she is better than ordinary people......
"Big cousin?"
Ji Ling came back to his senses, saw Mingwei with a questioning face, and recalled that she had just asked about the current situation at home, so she replied: "With Cousin Lao's greetings, both parents are safe, and everything is fine at home." ”
Ming nodded with a smile.
Ji Ling remembered what he had just seen, and asked, "By the way, the sixth master of your mansion passed away recently?" ”
Ming Wei's face did not change: "Yes, the timing of my cousin's arrival is unfortunate, and the sixth uncle went last night." ”
Mingsheng sat with him, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but think of the scene where she killed someone.
Xue Liang's waist knife was wiped without hesitation......
Mingsheng shuddered.
Ji Ling looked at it squarely, and his heart was very strange.
Does this four sons have any hidden diseases? From the beginning of entering the garden, he looked like a ghost, and now he looks at his sister, like seeing the king of Hades.
The Ming family really doesn't know what to do. The few in the capital are quite out of tune, I used to think that this fourth prince of Ming was good, but now I look at it, how can I be like this......
Ji Ling was dissatisfied. The little cousin is good-looking and sensible, what a strange thing he's doing as an older brother.
He expressed his condolences and asked, "I heard that my aunt hasn't been buried yet?" It's been a month, hasn't it? But what is the difficulty? ”
Ming Wei responded with a smile: "I encountered some things before, but they have been resolved." The eldest cousin came just in time, and I thought that my mother's body would be cremated in a few days. ”
"Cremation?" Ji Ling frowned, "How did you think of cremation?" What did your uncle say? ”
The orthodox custom is burial, how can there be a reason for cremation in the Ming family? How do you get into the ancestral grave?
Ming Wei said: "I haven't mentioned it on the fourth uncle's side, why don't the fourth brother help me talk about it first?" ”
"Huh?" Mingsheng was named by her, raised his head, touched her gaze, and immediately shrank again, "Okay, good ......"
Ji Ling was even more dissatisfied.
This Mingsheng had a good reputation in the Guozijian before, why did he cower like this, is it a plague to be his own sister?
When Mingwei first saw this eldest cousin, his first impression was not bad, but he was not familiar with it, and some words were not easy to speak, so he didn't explain much, and only said: "The eldest cousin came from afar, I think I'm tired, why don't I go and rest first?" Later, I will take my cousin to incense my mother. ”
Ji Ling also felt that it was not the time to speak, so he readily agreed: "There is Cousin Lao's arrangement." ”
Ming Wei nodded with a smile, and called Ming Sheng again: "Fourth brother, I told my second aunt that I asked my eldest cousin to live in Songtao Pavilion." It's close to your yard, why don't you drop by and lead the way? ”
Mingsheng dared to say no, and hurriedly responded.
Mingwei called the maid again and sent over the things that Ji Ling might need.
Ji Ling saw that her sister who had already married her might not be able to catch up, and she was at ease.
It seems to be really good, now, Xiao Wu shouldn't have any reason to make trouble again, right?
However, I can't say for sure. That kid always thinks of weird and weird things, who knows if he'll go crazy again.
Mingsheng took the lead in getting up: "Cousin Ji, please." ”
Ji Ling got up, said goodbye to Ming Wei, and went out with Ming Sheng.
