Chapter 127: Homecoming
"Fourth son!" The people of the Ming family saw Ming Sheng coming out of the yamen and hurriedly greeted him.
After three days, he returned to the world, and MSCI was like a world away.
He is an important witness, and he has been detained in the yamen for the past few days. Although the treatment is not bad, the taste of losing freedom is really uncomfortable.
"Bad big brother." Mingsheng hurriedly stopped the official who sent him out, "I don't know my father'......"
The official knew that the superiors valued him, and he was kind to him: "Your lord ordered to let your father and son return home, and Ling Zun will come out soon, wait here." ”
"Thank you, big brother." Mingsheng made a move.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the fourth master of Ming was also escorted out.
"Daddy!"
"Sir!"
The appearance of the fourth master is a little more haggard than Mingsheng, but his spirit is not bad.
He nodded: "Go back first." ”
The father and son got into the car, and the carriage drove towards Ming's house.
"Daddy!" In the carriage, father and son faced each other, and Mingsheng wanted to speak and stopped.
He had a lot of things he wanted to ask the fourth master, but the way their father and son got along was not close, and he couldn't ask for a while.
"Just ask whatever you want, you may not have a chance in the future." The attitude of the fourth master is very different from the past, I don't know if it is because of this incident, I have figured it out a lot.
Mingsheng opened his mouth, closed his eyes, and finally said the words: "Father and mother quarreled that day, I heard ......"
The fourth old man was stunned.
"Dad, you and the third aunt are really ......"
"That's all in the past." The fourth master interrupted him.
"But, Dad, you came out to testify." MSCI lowered his voice with mixed feelings, "Yes...... For the sake of the third aunt? ”
Unexpectedly, Mingsheng would ask him such a question directly, and the fourth master didn't know how to answer for a while.
After a long time, he said: "This matter is not good for you juniors. But since you have doubts in your heart, and your father does not make it clear, I am afraid that you will not be at peace in your life. Sheng'er, you know yes, I met your third aunt earlier, but by mistake, I asked your third uncle to speak first. Later, we got married, and that's it......"
"After marrying your mother, soon with you, my father didn't think about it. No matter what happened before, we are already married separately, and we have the status of uncle and sister-in-law, what are we still thinking about the old things? It's just that Daddy has a bad temper, and he has been negligent with your mother, and he doesn't care about her feelings......"
Speaking of this, the fourth master lowered his gaze.
Not knowing what to think, he sighed and continued: "It's just that those things happened later, and I feel guilty for my father. For ten years, day and night. It's because I can't stand up to your third aunt, knowing that she is being humiliated, but I stand by and watch. I'm here for her, but not just for her, Sheng'er, do you understand? ”
What happened to Mrs. Mingsan, Mingsheng didn't know the inside story, but he was smart and keen, and vaguely guessed that there was an inside story, not just being teased by the sixth uncle.
At this time, when he was treated by his father, he was relieved and said in a low voice: "Dad is for conscience and morality." ”
Not only Mingsheng was relieved, but the fourth master was also relieved when he heard this, and said softly: "Dad is not as noble as you say, but I don't want to live in self-blame and guilt for the rest of my life." I can't help myself when it comes to love, I'm already sorry for your mother, and I don't want to be sorry for you anymore. Daddy has been cowardly and incompetent all his life, and he can't set a good example for you, but at least he can't put you to shame......"
"Daddy!" Mingsheng's eyes were red.
The fourth master patted his head: "It's my father's fault, I always think that disciplining you harshly is good for you, but ignoring other things." I never knew that your mother was so resentful of me, and when you think about it, I really can't stand her in this matter. It's just that this is sorry and can't make up for it......"
After the turmoil of the past few days, Mingsheng also figured out a lot of things, and said softly: "No wonder Daddy, as you said, love is not up to you......"
The heartbeat of his youth is the white moonlight of his life. He has tried his best to be a husband and father, but he just creates and makes people, and the misfortune of Mrs. Ming San makes him unable to let go of it in his life......
"I only thought about my mother's mood before, but I didn't think about my father. Sorry ......"
Seeing Mingsheng's remorse, the fourth master blamed himself: "It's my father who did not do well and made you all suffer." ”
……
The father and son went home and went to see Mrs. Ming first.
When the old lady saw them, she was very surprised, and after saying a few words, she told them to hurry back and rest.
The two returned to the west courtyard, and the fourth lady had already prepared clothes, food and water.
Take a bath before eating, and the father and son finally have a meal with peace of mind.
Mingsheng looked at Ming Xiang, who was staring at him, and touched her head with a smile: "The fourth brother said that it's okay, Ah Xiang believes it now, right?" ”
Ming Xiang nodded, tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Fourth brother is injured?" I heard that those officials were tortured very badly......"
"Don't worry, I'm not a prisoner." Mingsheng said softly, "Master Jiang treated us very politely, and stayed in the yamen just to testify, and now that the case has been sorted out, he will let us back." You see, the fourth brother is very good, and he is not injured at all. It's just that the food in the yamen is not delicious, and I haven't eaten a good meal these days. ”
Ming Xiang was amused by him, so he asked, "Does the fourth brother still eat?" ”
Mingsheng touched his stomach: "Don't eat it, it's too full to eat all at once, it's not easy to restrain it, save it for tomorrow and eat it slowly." ”
"Hmm." Ming Xiang suddenly stepped forward, hugged Ming Sheng's arm, and rested his head on his shoulder, "Fourth brother scared me, these days, I'm so afraid that you will be beaten." Mother too, I'm so worried that I can't sleep......"
Mingsheng smiled and reassured: "Isn't this okay?" Don't worry, it's all gone. ”
"Hmm." Ming Xiang showed a bright smile.
The four masters and the four ladies in the main room are in a different situation.
The husband and wife had quarreled before, and they had been separated for a long time, and the fourth lady didn't know what to say for a while, and after serving the fourth master, the two were a little embarrassed.
After a while, it was the fourth master who spoke first: "I'm tired these days, let's rest early." ”
"Hmm......" The fourth lady agreed, and went to make the bed herself.
The husband and wife lay down, but neither of them could sleep.
The fourth lady's heart turned a thousand times, full of thoughts, and suddenly she heard a voice next to her: "Have you slept?" ”
She woke up and asked, "Do you want water?" ”
was about to get up, but was stopped by the fourth master: "Don't be busy, I'm just ...... I have something to say to you. ”
After suffering for the past few days, the fourth lady has long regretted it, and at this time, seeing that he was a little low-voiced, she also softened: "Master has something to say, please say." ”
The fourth master sighed lightly and said, "It was me who was wrong that day. After a pause, he added, "It's been my fault all these years." I always thought that if I didn't mess around like the sixth child, I would be a good husband, but I never thought that you needed more emotion. In the future, I will try to change my temper and never do that to you again. ”
He didn't hear a sound for a long time, he touched his hand, but found that the fourth lady was in tears.
