Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lord Ming's Anger
"Miss Ming's filial piety is commendable, since she wants to pray for her father, it is most appropriate for her to come to our Huizhen view", Dajiang nodded again and again, and saw the hesitation in the eyes of his sister Xiaojiang out of the corner of his eye, Dajiang was stunned and asked, "Miss Ming wants to practice with Wang Zhenren?" ”
Wang Zhenren smiled: "The poor road has its own place to go, so it won't cause you trouble." ”
The Dae clan and the Koe clan said "What's the trouble" in their mouths, but secretly Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was more respectful, and his smile was more attentive.
When Wang Zhenren returned to the city, he repaired a book and sent it to Ming's house in Xicheng.
The letter was sent in from the main gate and sent directly to Minghui, and by the time the eldest lady heard about it, it was already the next day.
The next day, Minghui went to see Master Mingda.
Hearing that Hui was going to move to the Taoist temple, Master Ming was silent, he used to be busy with entertainment, busy with housework, and didn't care about the affairs of the back house, but now he keeps filial piety and is in the house all day long, and it is difficult to think about some things.
For example, on the first day Minghui moved in, the eldest lady called a fox-smelling mother-in-law from Zhuangzi to wait, and for example, Minghui's slap to Wu Lizhu, even the eldest lady was pretending to be sick a while ago, and he knew it.
It's just that, as the head of the family, he can't be entangled in everything and judge right and wrong.
In the past, when there was no separation, the three heads of the house lived together, and the small friction was never broken, and then the family was separated, and everyone occasionally got together, but it was much closer than before.
Master Ming pondered, Ming Hui is a person who is married, the three-year filial piety period is over, she is also in time, and when she reaches the age of marriage, the time she can live at home before and after is only three or four years.
Whether it's the eldest wife or Minghui, as long as you don't face each other in the open, it won't be a big deal, besides, with him as the eldest brother, Minghui won't be wronged, not to mention, his little sister is not a person who will be wronged.
It's only three or four years, and the mud will pass in the blink of an eye.
But Master Ming never thought that Minghui would want to leave the Ming family and move into the Taoist temple, of course this is not possible, and his father will not agree if he knows it.
Ming Hui returned to the Ming family, one is to keep filial piety, and the other is to be married.
The more Master Ming thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't do it, and he shook his head again and again: "Little sister, if you want to pray for your father's blessing and let your sister-in-law ...... Let your second sister-in-law accompany you to live in the Taoist temple for a few days, and Mingya will also go with you, what do you think? ”
Before coming, Ming Hui guessed that Master Ming would not agree, after all, let the unmarried daughter live in the Taoist temple all the year round, even if it is to pray for her father, it will be talked about.
Minghui said unhurriedly: "Big brother, you also know that I don't want to marry Huo Yu. ”
As soon as these words came out, Master Ming was stunned, wasn't he talking about moving to the Taoist temple, why did he talk about Huo Yu again?
Master Ming doesn't have a good impression of Huo Yu, he thinks that Huo Yu is not worthy of his little sister, although the Ming family is not rich and noble, but it is a scholarly family, Huo Yu is just a homeless person, and he is spurned by the world.
Second, Huo Yu has an arrogant attitude, and before he got married, he didn't put the people of the Yue family in his eyes, such a person is certainly not a good match.
Master Ming quickly recalled the events of that night in his mind, this Huo Yu was useless except for a good skin.
And that's the least important.
As long as a man has good facial features and sound limbs, he will not delay the imperial examination and the election of officials.
Thinking about it like this, Master Ming felt more and more that this family should be retired, and his father must have cultivated immortals in a daze, so he would marry his daughter to such a person.
"Well, little sister, don't worry, in a year and a half, the eldest brother will repair a book and give you a refund of this family business." Master Ming said.
Sure enough, just like in his previous life, Master Ming thought about this matter too simply, thinking that as long as he came forward in person, this pro would be able to retreat.
Regarding the matter of retiring relatives, Minghui had long known that she was reckless that day.
In the broken temple that day, she was too impulsive, she shouldn't have directly proposed to Huo Yu to withdraw from her family, but should think about it in the long run.
But if you say it, you don't have to regret it, Minghui has already thought about it.
She said: "Big brother, you also saw and heard it in the broken temple that day, Huo Yu clearly would not easily agree to withdraw from his family, he didn't have to marry the Ming family, half of the reason why he refused to agree was because he didn't want to lose face."
That's why I want to live in the Taoist temple, one is to pray for my father, and the other is to let him know, I am dedicated to the Tao, after a year or two, the eldest brother can propose to him to withdraw from the family, by that time, his anger has long been gone, rather than marrying a Taoist aunt to go back, it is better to marry a lady after retiring from the family, big brother, what do you say? ”
Master Ming disagreed: "He is Feiyuwei, Feiyuwei can't do anything, you are not afraid that he will stir up the Taoist temple restlessly, besides, even if you withdraw from him, you have been living in the Taoist temple, what do outsiders say?" Who would dare to come to the door to propose? You can't just never marry for the sake of a Huo Yu, right? ”
Minghui thought to herself, I really want not to marry for the rest of my life, but she can't say it, and even the master who is a monk doesn't agree, let alone explain the eldest master.
"Big brother, you can rest assured at this point, the master has some friendship with the two old ladies of Huizhenguan, if the master comes forward, I can live in Huizhenguan, can Huo Yu still go to Huizhenguan to make trouble? Isn't he afraid that the two old ladies will sue him in front of the palace with a letter of paper? Besides, I haven't always lived in the Taoist temple, and when I get out of the filial piety period, I will move back to the house, big brother, I am twelve years old this year, and I will only be fifteen in three years. Instead of worrying about my family, you should think more about Mingda and Mingya. ”
Mingda sixteen, Ming Ya fourteen, it was originally the time to discuss marriage, but even if they are filial piety next year, the master and the eldest lady are still in the filial piety period, and they still can't be officially engaged for them.
Of course, Master Ming knew this, and the eldest lady said in front of him more than once.
What he cares more about now is the first half of Minghui's words: "Wang Zhenren knows the two old ladies of the Jiang family? ”
"Well, the master sent a letter, saying that the ancestor and the former longevity of Peng Zhenren intersected, not long ago the master went to visit the two old ladies, saying that she had an apprentice living in Baoding Mansion, and the two old ladies also said that the master would take me over another day."
The concept of longevity is the predecessor of the concept of longevity, Peng Zhenren is the master of the concept of longevity, in the early years she took in the two old ladies, and now Peng Zhenren has long passed away, but the old man of Ming is a native of Baoding, and he has heard of these pasts.
"Wisdom and Truth...... This is different from other Taoist temples, and Feiyuwei also has to abide by the rules when he goes. Master Ming touched his beard and hesitated, although it is said that letting the girl in the family live in the Taoist temple, it will cause criticism if it is passed out, but if it is Huizhenguan, it is different, the two old men in Huizhenguan are not monks, if Minghui can live in Huizhenguan for a year or two, Yu Minghui's reputation will not only not be affected, but also beneficial.
"Well, this matter will be discussed here first, and Wang Zhenren will come back another day, and I will make a decision after discussing it with her."
Minghui is different from other girls in the Ming family, she has been apprenticed since she was a child, so Minghui's affairs are not something that the eldest brother of Master Ming can call the shots alone, and she has to ask for Wang Zhenren's consent.
Minghui smiled and agreed, and then said goodbye and went back to her yard to fiddle with spices.
Master Ming thought that this matter would be discussed in a few months anyway, so he didn't think much about it.
But Master Ming never expected that three days later, Wang Zhenren's greeting post was sent over.
The Ming family is keeping filial piety, although she is Minghui's master, she can't break the rules, and there should be a number of etiquette.
Master Ming didn't know that Wang Zhenren was still in Baoding Mansion, and when he received the post, he was still surprised, didn't Wang Zhenren go to Yunyou? Why did you come back so soon?
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Zhenren came to visit Master Mingda, and after greetings, Wang Zhenren talked about taking Minghui to meet the two old ladies of Jiang.
Master Ming sighed in his heart, his little sister didn't want to stay in the mansion, so he was in a hurry to let Wang Zhenren take her to Huizhenguan.
The more Master Ming thought about it, the more guilty he felt, his father divided the family for them early, the house, the field, everything he could give them was distributed, he was a long house, and he got far more things than his two younger brothers.
But he is really the eldest brother, but he doesn't even take care of his little sister......
Master Ming was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, agreeing to let Wang Zhenren take Minghui to Huizhenguan.
He knew that Minghui would not come back in two or three years.
Sending Wang Zhenren away, Master Ming didn't come out when he returned to the study, and when it was time for dinner, he still didn't come out.
The eldest lady smiled and said, "Look, the children are waiting for you." ”
Master Ming swept to the children sitting at the table, and the light in his eyes became a little gloomy.
The family is here, but there is no Minghui.
"Why didn't my little sister come?" Master Ming asked.
The eldest lady picked her nails hard, but the smile on her face deepened: "My little sister has grown up in the Taoist temple since she was a child, and she is different from us, so she ......."
That's why I didn't let anyone call her.
It's just that the latter words didn't come out, and they were interrupted by Master Ming.
Master Ming was furious and wanted to lift the table, but the big table of rosewood was too heavy, Master Ming lifted it, the table did not move at all, and Master Ming was even more angry, grabbed the nearest bowl and smashed it to the ground!
"Taoist Temple, Taoist Temple, what does the little sister have to do with you in the Taoist Temple, don't you mention it for a day? That's how your eldest sister-in-law behaves? Xiaomei has been back for so long, have you ever cared about her in the slightest? ”
