Located in the Xicheng mansion in Zaoshu Hutong, only the Ming Da family, the second and third Ming masters' houses are all in Shuijing Hutong, and the second and third wives are on this side of Zaoshu Hutong with their children in the past two days.

The courtyard of the jujube tree alley has been erected in the coffin, and in the cries one after another, the three masters of the Ming family, together with the eldest young master Mingda, got off the carriage one after another, and carried the coffin of the old lady Ming into the courtyard, and Minghui followed behind with the support of no later and not too late.

The coffin was properly placed in the mourning shed, and the master of the Ming Dynasty led all the children and grandchildren of the Ming family in Xicheng to worship in front of the spirit, and the relatives and friends who came to mourn came in one after another.

In a hurry, Master Ming took Minghui to the eldest lady and said, "Little sister, this is your sister-in-law." ”

Then he said to the eldest lady, "This is the little sister I said in the letter." ”

Master Ming asked the little maid to come back early in the morning to report the news, and told the eldest lady about Minghui's return together.

The eldest lady in front of her was dignified and beautiful, gentle and demure, but Minghui knew that the eldest lady had another side, and the hysterical insults of this woman in her previous life were still echoing in her ears.

Minghui stepped forward, saluted the eldest wife, and called "sister-in-law" crisply.

The eldest lady helped her up with both hands, and her expression was sad: "My sister's face is not good, she is tired on the road, she is pitiful, it makes people feel distressed when she looks at it." ”

Minghui hung her head slightly and did not speak.

Master Ming asked in a low voice, "Can my little sister's yard be cleaned up?" ”

The corners of the eldest lady's mouth twitched slightly, and she said softly: "Don't worry, master, the eldest lady's yard has been cleaned up in the morning." ”

The Ming family has been divided, the Ming family in Xicheng does not need to be ranked with Dongcheng, Minghui is the only daughter of the old lady Ming, she is a veritable eldest lady.

Master Ming bowed slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and you will have to worry more about the affairs of the younger sister in the future." ”

The eldest lady whispered: "What did the master say, the eldest lady is two years younger than Ya'er, and I, as the eldest sister-in-law, should worry about it." ”

Master Ming was very satisfied, and left with peace of mind, the eldest lady looked at his back, sighed, and took Minghui to meet the second and third wives, together with Minghui's nieces, Ming Ya in the long room, Ming Jing, Ming Shu, Ming Xiu in the second room, and Ming Xiaoting from the second room.

In addition, the eldest lady's maiden niece, Wu Lizhu, was also there, and followed several girls from the Ming family to give Ming Hui a gift.

After seeing the female relatives of the family, the eldest lady instructed Mother Hu beside her to accompany Minghui to rest first, Minghui did not refuse, and followed Mother Hu to the back house with no delay and no delay.

The yard arranged by the eldest lady for Minghui was cleaned and clean, but the yard was very small, and there were only three main rooms, no ear room, and no wing room.

A tall and stout mother-in-law came out with two little girls who didn't keep their heads, and the mother-in-law's eyes only swept over Minghui's face, and then said to Mother Hu with a smile: "Ouch, why are you still working Mother Hu came here in person, you say, I'll just take the eldest lady over in the past." ”

The corners of Minghui's mouth rose slightly, she was very familiar with this yard and this stout mother-in-law, she also lived in this yard in her previous life, this mother-in-law's surname was Qian, and she was carefully selected for her by the eldest lady.

In the last life, Mrs. Qian did not bully people, in order to marry his stupid son not late, she almost ruined her innocence, and forced her to reamed her hair in public, so she did it temporarily, but her reputation was also damaged since then, and she was pointed at in the house.

Later, the eldest lady wanted Huo Yu to cut off her children and grandchildren, so she came to cut off her heirs, and actually instructed Qian Pozi to add Lei Gongtian to her decoction, because the amount added each time was very small, or her life, but it ruined her body, she was not yet thirteen years old that year, and she only came to menstruation once and never came again......

In her previous life, she thought that the eldest lady would be angry with her because of Mingda's death, and arranged this small broken yard for her, but now that Mingda is alive and well, she was still brought here and handed over to Mrs. Qian.

Minghui didn't say anything, she wanted to see what medicine was sold in the eldest lady's gourd.

Mother Hu looked at Minghui with the rest of her eyes, and saw her expression of indifference, and her heart was disdainful, sure enough, she grew up in the mountains and wilderness Taoist temples, and she had never seen the world.

"This is the eldest lady, you will serve you well in the future, tell me if you are missing."

Mother Hu glanced at Minghui again and continued: "Miss, let Mrs. Qian serve you and go into the house to rest." ”

Mrs. Qian smiled all over her face: "Mother Hu, don't worry, leave it to me here, the eldest lady can't leave you by her side." ”

Mother Hu hummed, didn't look at Minghui, turned around and walked out.

"Wait."

The little girl's immature voice came from behind her, Mother Hu frowned, turned around, and looked at Minghui with a smile: "The eldest lady still has orders?" ”

Minghui pointed at Mrs. Qian: "She has a fox smell, you take her far away, I can't stand the smell." ”

Mrs. Qian's face turned white, she did have a fox smell, but now it is not summer, she is dressed thickly, and she is smeared with osmanthus water, her daughter-in-law said that she can't smell it, how did the eldest lady smell it?

Mother Hu glared at Mrs. Qian, and she was also a little suspicious in her heart, this eldest lady's nose was too smart, and she didn't smell it.

Mother Hu knew that Mrs. Qian had a fox smell, but she was cruel, so over the years, the eldest lady put their husband and wife in the Zhuangzi and took care of the tenants over there.

"Does it smell? Did the eldest lady smell it wrong, did you smell it? Mother Hu looked at the two little girls.

The little girls hurriedly shook their heads: "No, the slave didn't smell anything." ”

Minghui's face was slightly cold: "Why, you don't believe my words, then let Mrs. Qian take off her clothes, stand in front of you, and let you smell it." ”

Mother Hu was stunned, she didn't expect this sick eldest lady to be so difficult, she was about to speak, but Mrs. Qian had already cried out: "Eldest Miss, you let me take off my clothes in public, I won't live!" ”

Minghui looked at the no-late and no-too late: "Since she doesn't want to live anymore, you can help her, throw her out, let her die a little farther, so as not to smoke me, and if she still dares to talk nonsense, it's not too late, you will whip her!" ”

After speaking, she turned around and walked towards the hall, walked a few steps, stopped again, and said to the two little girls: "Throw out all the things of Mrs. Qian, and if there is anything that is left behind, then burn it with fire." ”

This time, she entered the hall without looking back, Mother Hu was stunned, Mrs. Qian also stopped crying, and the two little girls shook their hands, not knowing if they really wanted to throw Mrs. Qian's things out.

It's a little strange that it's not too late and not too late, I don't understand how the eldest lady seems to be a different person, but whatever the eldest lady asks them to do, they will do.

The two walked over without hesitation, one by one to pull Mrs. Qian's arm, where was Mrs. Qian willing to let the two little girls pull, raised her slap towards Mrs. Chi, and avoided it sideways, Mrs. Qian was going to fight again, but Mrs. Qian was going to fight again, and Ms. Qian moved faster than her, and slapped Mrs. Qian in the face.

This slap was light and crispy, and it was extremely pleasant, and Minghui had already heard it when she entered the hall.

Mother Hu shouted: "Stop, what kind of system are you! ”

She glared at it without delay, and then glared back, and Mother Hu looked at the hall again, the door of the hall was open, and Minghui could no longer be seen.

Mother Hu sighed and said to Mrs. Qian, "You come out with me first." ”

After watching Mother Hu take Mrs. Qian out of the yard, she turned around and saw that the two little girls were still standing in place, with a straight face, and said, "Don't you two have long ears?" The eldest lady asked you to throw out Mrs. Qian's things, if you don't throw them away, then we will burn them. ”

The two little girls were startled, turned around and ran into the west room, and after a short time, they came out with Mrs. Qian's bed and baggage and threw them outside the courtyard.

Not too late and not too late to walk into the east room, I saw Minghui sitting cross-legged on the kang.

The two looked around and saw that although the furniture was neat, the wall skin was peeling off, the dust was half-new, and there were cobwebs in the corner of the roof.

"Miss, the slave goes to find the eldest lady, how can this place be for you to live."

Before she said that she was about to go out, Minghui stopped her: "It's still the period of filial piety, if we are not picky, we are not sensible, and we are not filial." ”

Not too late to be unwilling: "But are we going to live here?" ”

"Well, let's live there first, it won't be long anyway." Minghui said lightly.

Not too late and not too late looked at each other, and neither of them understood what the eldest lady meant.

When the eldest lady returns to the Ming family, she can only leave if she gets married, and the filial piety period is three years, and the eldest lady will live here for at least three years, isn't three years too long?

Not too late, not too late, I don't understand, Minghui knows it in her heart.

After experiencing a previous life, no matter what the people of the Ming family treated her in this life, she would not get along with them with a normal heart.

In her previous life, she failed to keep filial piety for her father, so after she saved Mingda's life, she also thought about staying in the Ming family for three years, and after three years, she would leave the Ming family no matter whether she and Huo Yu's relatives were still there.

But as soon as she entered the door today, the eldest lady came to such a dismount, and Minghui knew that it was impossible for her to stay in the Ming family.

But fortunately, if she makes such a fuss today, the eldest lady will be jealous of her, and she will not provoke her again for a while.

Now what can the eldest lady say about her, at most she is uneducated, her eyelids are shallow, and she can't even tolerate a subordinate.

Nothing more.

When Minghui was still on the way, he wrote a letter to his master and handed it to the official post to send it to the county government of Qi County, and Lord Wei would send someone to send the letter to Yunmeng Mountain.

She counted the days, this letter is now almost in Qi County, she knows that with the master's temper, she will definitely come to Baoding Mansion after seeing the letter.

She had to find a way to keep her master, as long as the master didn't return to Yunmeng Mountain, she would be able to avoid the fire half a year later.

The eldest lady was wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and at the same time chatting with the wives who came to mourn, Mother Hu walked over lightly and whispered a few words in the eldest lady's ear.

The eldest lady's brows moved slightly, and she said to Mother Hu: "Then don't send someone to her yard yet." ”
