Chapter 46: Father and Daughter (2)
Today there are still two more, the first one
——*——*——*——*——
Cai Guodong touched the top of Mingyu's head comfortingly and said: "Your second aunt has already told me about this matter, and your third brother also said that the cat is too hateful and moves too fast, so he didn't react." Your fourth sister has already scolded her fiercely, she has always had a bad temper, don't worry about her, don't learn from her. ”
If he wants to say that there are conflicts between little girls or something, he thinks it is still possible, but he doesn't believe that the third son, who has always been silent, will also follow suit. He preferred to believe that the cat was too hateful. What's more, the wound on Mingyu's hand was indeed scratched by a cat, and the cat was also caught by the third son in the end, wasn't it?
Cai Guodong found that Mingyu was looking at himself with a pair of aggrieved eyes wide open, and Chen and Mingfei also looked at him quietly, and couldn't help but be very embarrassed - no matter who was right and wrong, it was Mingyu who suffered, so he coughed and said, "Since that cat is so hateful, how about beating it to death and giving you a breath?" ”
Mingyu's eyes widened, even with some fear. Ming Fei glanced at Chen, and Chen understood that Ming Fei meant to ask her to stop killing the cat, but he didn't want to open his mouth, but instead said, "What does Ming Fei want to say?" ”
Ming Fei didn't expect the Chen family to push her out, so she had to step forward and salute: "Father, my daughter has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
is quite bold, Cai Guodong squinted: "You say." ”
Ming Fei smiled first and said: "My daughter is bold, I secretly think that the dispute between the sixth sister and the fourth sister is just a matter of children who are ignorant and quarrelsome, that cat is just a livestock, and it is naturally wilder if there is less restraint, as long as it is restrained in the future, it will be fine." The second sister is about to be overjoyed, and the fourth sister is inevitably sad, so my father will spare it. ”
If this cat dies like this, how will the next play be played? What's more, Cai Guodong listens to and believes in it, and favors Mingzi, the second aunt and mother and daughter are ruthless, if the cat dies because of this, Xifu is afraid that he will die in two days. Even so, it is better to push the boat down the river and give Mingyu some real benefits.
Even on weekdays, the sudden death and disappearance of domestic cats and dogs will be regarded as ominous, let alone deliberately beaten before the big joy? Cai Guodong immediately came back to his senses, but it was not good to immediately retract what he had just said, so he looked back at Chen and asked Chen to give him the stairs.
Chen smiled and took Mingyu into his arms: "Master, this is exactly the reason." Don't say anything about beating and killing in front of children, beware of my little Mingyu who is frightened. ”
Although Mingyu was small, she already understood her father's partiality, and at this time she only felt that Chen's arms were fragrant, soft and warm, so she quietly lay in Chen's arms and hugged Chen's waist aggrievedly. Seeing Mingyu's little body lying unguarded in his arms, Chen's heart suddenly became a little soft, and he couldn't help hugging Mingyu tightly and patting her back gently.
Cai Guodong looked at Mingyu and then at Mingfei, and said: "Since you all say so, let that animal die for the time being, if you do it again in the future, you will definitely not be spared." ”
Chen said with a smile: "Master, Mingyu is afraid of that cat, so he doesn't dare to go back to live in Qionghua Courtyard." ”
Ming Fei's heart jumped, Chen is helping Mingyu to have a separate place to live! She knew that the Cai family's mansion was not very large, and the population was large, just like Mingya and Mingpei lived in the same place, Mingyu and Mingzi also lived in the same courtyard.
Families with many wives and concubines and children will inevitably have dirty disputes, and the most important thing at this time is balance. In other words, if one party suffers a loss, if it is reluctant to deal with the other party to vent his anger, he has to give the injured party a certain amount of moral and material compensation. Cai Guodong pondered for a moment and said, "This is a problem, is there still a spare place at home?" ”
Chen smiled: "No. But isn't Mingya going out of the cabinet? As soon as she left, there was only Mingpei living in the embroidery courtyard. It just so happened that Mingpei had complained to me a few times earlier, saying that she didn't like the Xifu begonias in the Yixiu Courtyard, but liked the magnolia flowers in the Qionghua Courtyard. She has always been good friends with Mingzi, why don't you let the two of you live together? The two of them are the same age, have similar interests, and usually have a partner. ”
Cai Guodong said without hesitation: "It's not a big deal, you can arrange it." ”
Ming Fei vaguely guessed that this courtyard was not just for Mingyu alone, Chen might be planning for her, and in the future, she and Mingyu would probably live in the same Yixiu courtyard, thinking of this, she looked at Chen tentatively, and Chen looked at her mischievously and blinked.
Cai Guodong was a little surprised to see that the relationship between Chen and his two concubines was harmonious. But because he had stayed here for long enough time, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and walked out, Chen hurriedly followed and sent out, Ming Fei took Mingyu's hand and sent it to the door: "Daughter sends father and mother, father and mother go slowly." ”
Cai Guodong suddenly stood up and said, "The tea is brewed well, and the rules are barely learned." Then he walked away without looking back.
This is complimenting Ming Fei! Chen smiled at Ming Fei with encouragement and ordered, "A few relatives from my family will come over today, and you can bring Mingyu to my room after lunch." ”
Ming Fei smiled and saluted Chen: "Thank you, mother." "Do you want her to admit her marriage?
"Congratulations to Miss Three." Jiao Tao and Hua Pozi looked at Ming Fei with bright eyes, so excited that they didn't know what to say.
Ming Fei smiled slightly: "It's too early to be happy." "It's just a compliment, even an outsider can do it, right? But they were happy to be like this. Only then did she really realize the sentence that Jiao Tao and Hua Pozi usually hang on their lips: Only when the master is decent, the subordinates will be decent.
Jiao Tao saw that there were no outsiders in the house, and said: "The slave maid has long said that if you are as smart and beautiful as the third lady, the master will like it and feel distressed when she sees it." ”
It's just that I don't hate rejection so much, where can I say what I like or dislike, and whether I feel distressed or not? This person's heart has grown up, even if he grew up by his side since he was a child, Mingyu, who lost his mother's love at a young age, has never been treated more fairly by him, not to mention his daughter who has been abandoned and has no friendship at all? Ming Fei couldn't bear to break their joy, so she only said: "Hurry up and clean up the house, Mingyu and I will read books, and I will serve my mother after lunch." ”
——*——*——*——
Ming Fei took Mingyu to the flower hall where the Chen family was entertaining, and before anyone entered, they heard laughter inside, and I don't know how many women were chattering inside. Zhu Hai smiled and saluted the two, and said: "The ladies and ladies of the clan and the lord's colleagues have come to add makeup to the second miss, and it is lively, and the lady is talking about the two young ladies, but it happened to come." ”
"Mingfei, Mingyu, come and meet your aunt and aunt, sister-in-law and sisters." Chen sat on the main seat dressed happily, and when he saw the two sisters go in hand in hand, he smiled and waved at them.
The room suddenly fell silent, and countless pairs of eyes all beckoned to Ming Fei, who led Ming Yu to step forward generously and saluted everyone according to Chen's instructions.
Everyone looked different, more curious and scrutinized. The daughter of the Cai family has been forgotten, but recently she has become the hottest character. The ladies usually don't have much to do, and the most enthusiastic thing is that the east family and the west family are short, and after hearing about Ming Fei, everyone feels like listening to a story, and they have long been a little curious. There were still some taboos before, but when I heard that the Chen family spent a thousand taels of silver to change her life, and as soon as she came back, she stayed in her own yard to live, which was very strange, and they speculated, is there really such a blessing?
At this time, seeing that Ming Fei was cute and courteous, everyone laughed and praised a few words, but they didn't dare to get too close to Ming Fei, and they didn't dare to let their daughter get close to Ming Fei, so they asked with concern how Ming Yu's hand was injured.
Chen saw everyone's intentions, and he didn't mind much, so he called the two Mingfei sisters to sit behind him, asked the girl to bring fruit cakes for the two to eat, and replied with a smile: "The child is playful, and was scratched by her fourth sister's cat." ”
Everyone sighed, and a lady said abruptly: "This dog is powerful, in fact, the cat is the same." Everyone remembered the discord between the wives and concubines of the Cai family, and the news of the concubine's big bully, they all looked at the Chen family cautiously, and the smart one turned away and asked how the cat was dealt with later?
Chen pretended not to understand, and only smiled: "According to our master's meaning, this cat was originally going to be hammered to death." But our Ming Fei is kind-hearted and thoughtful, so she persuaded the old man once, saying that the cat was just an animal and couldn't understand human words, and that death would make her fourth sister sad, and it would be a good day for her second sister these days, so it was better to forget it. ”
The ladies present are extremely despisive and hateful of concubines, and they want to please the Chen family, why don't they understand what the Chen family means to elevate Ming Fei? The magistrate's wife covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "The third lady is really kind-hearted, this cat is originally an animal, where can you expect it to understand human speech?" Naturally, you can't see the same thing as livestock. ”
This means something, everyone laughed "boom", Chen smiled slightly, and said: "It's not that I'm boasting, my daughter is really kind-hearted, considerate and gentle, her sister has been taking care of her last night, look at what this little face has become?" ”
Everyone laughed and said: "The third lady is beautiful and beautiful, not to mention staying up all night, even if she stays up for two or three nights, she is still pink and jade." Ming Fei was so ashamed that she buried her head behind Chen's back, and Chen patted her back with a smile: "This kid is shy." The crowd laughed, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After praising his own children, Chen praised the young ladies of other families. She is very clear about everyone's strengths and hobbies, praising people for not showing their talents, doing what they like, praising people's hearts and making everyone laugh. There was a verbal conflict between them, and a few words she understated resolved it.
Ming Fei sat behind Chen and admired her skills. In fact, judging from Ming Fei's observations in the past few days, the Chen family is really a very qualified official wife and virtuous helper, and Cai Guodong can actually be regarded as picking up a treasure, but unfortunately he doesn't understand.
"Madam, the fourth and fifth misses are here." Zhu Hai came in with a smile to report, and then Mingzi and Mingpei walked in one after another, and after greeting Chen and the ladies, Mingzi went to find the little sisters who had known each other in the past to talk together, and looked forward to Shenfei, without asking Mingyu at all, nor calling Mingfei. However, Ming Pei ran over and pulled Mingyu to ask long and short questions, and sat down next to Ming Fei, refusing to leave Chen's side.
Chen smiled kindly: "Mingzi, were you scared yesterday?" I only care about your sixth sister, and I haven't bothered to ask you. ”
Mingzi was stunned, remembering that she had been scolded by her father, she couldn't help but glance at Mingyu and Mingfei resentfully, and said coldly, "I'm fine." Then he turned back and continued to talk to the others. Everyone shook their heads secretly in their eyes, in the end, she was the daughter of a concubine, there were no rules, and she couldn't be on the stage.
