Chapter 29: The Best Arrangement
The eldest lady never thought that the eldest man would lose her face in front of her children.
She pressed her chest with one hand, pinched the handkerchief with the other, pointed at Master Ming, her voice trembled, and tears welled up in her eyelashes: "When my mother-in-law was seriously ill, I served in front of the bed, and I couldn't untie my clothes; My little uncle died, my father went to the capital with you, and I was worried at home all day long, and I couldn't sleep at night; After the birth of the eldest sister, I had to take care of the back house just after the confinement, so that I fell ill, and I didn't have a heart for a few years, in those years, for the heirs of the Ming family, I went around asking for medical advice, and drank more medicine than I ate, so I gave birth to Da'er, master, I gave birth to two sons for the Ming family......"
When the eldest lady said this, she was already crying uncontrollably, her body shook, and she was about to fall.
Mingya was startled, and hurriedly came over to support her, but she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, and her slender body couldn't help the rich and round lady, and the mother and daughter fell backwards together.
The eldest lady was startled, although she pretended to faint, but she was measured, even if Mingya didn't help her, she wouldn't really fall, but Mingya's help, not only failed to support her, but made her fall backwards with her.
When the maids saw Master Ming reprimanding the eldest lady, they quietly retreated to avoid hearing things that they shouldn't hear and being hated by their masters for no reason.
Master Ming was angry, and when he saw that the eldest lady was about to faint, he would not reach out to help, besides, he and the eldest lady were across the table, and he couldn't help him if he wanted to.
Although Mingda sat not far from the eldest wife, his attention was still on his father's words, what did his mother do to make his father so angry? Father and mother respect each other like ice, Mingda remembers, father has never lost his temper with mother, just now father almost flipped the table.
Therefore, for the eldest wife's crying of blood and tears, Mingda turned a deaf ear, firstly, his attention was not on his mother, and secondly, the eldest wife's words, Mingda heard it since he was a child, as long as his father or their three brothers and sisters failed to fulfill their mother's wishes, the mother would cry and complain, and Mingda was already familiar with it, and he would not take it to heart at all.
It is conceivable that Mingda did not reach out to help.
So the eldest lady and Mingya fell to the ground without hindrance.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of screaming and screaming that Mingda reacted and hurriedly went to see.
The eldest lady was sitting on the ground, but Mingya was lying on the ground, the eldest lady couldn't stand up for a while, and Mingda took a lot of effort to help her up.
The maids who were guarding outside came in when they heard the sound and helped Mingya up.
The eldest lady was ashamed and angry, today she was first embarrassed by the eldest master, and now she fell down in public, and let the maids see how she, the housewife, will give orders in the future.
The eldest lady was furious, and when she saw Mingya who was helped up by the maids, her anger aroused by Master Ming could no longer be contained, she picked up a bowl and threw it at Mingya!
"Do you want to fall me to death?"
......
Minghui found out about the dinner the next day.
Chunyu listened to what the rough maid in the yard of the eldest lady said, and came back to tell Chunmiao, the two little girls were whispering under the window, and they were heard not too late, and they were called over to ask, only to know that something like this happened last night.
"Chunyu listened to the rough maid in the eldest lady's courtyard, the eldest lady was angry at the second girl, and hit the second girl in public, the second girl's forehead was cut by broken porcelain, bleeding, the eldest man was angry, saying that the eldest lady was unreasonable, and asked people to go to the four o'clock hall to ask the second girl for a doctor, but the person who sent out was stopped by Lao Guo at the door, saying that the eldest lady confessed, this is a family ugliness, and it can't be passed out, so I didn't go to the four o'clock hall to ask the doctor to sit in the hall, but went to call Hu's mother's cousin to come over and show the second lady."
Hearing this, Minghui frowned slightly: "Mother Hu's cousin understands medical science?" ”
Of course I don't know, and the two little girls Chunyu and Chunmiao won't know, but Minghui knows it.
No wonder the eldest lady gave her medicine in her previous life in an endless stream, it turned out that Mother Hu had a cousin who understood medical science.
But these are no longer important to her, Minghui asked to pack up the cages and get out all the jars buried in the yard.
Strange to say, it may be that she knows that she is going to move, but in the last few days, the black cat has not gone anywhere, and every day she either basks in the sun on the windowsill, or sits on a table or chair, looking majestically at the humans in the house.
Every time Little Lychee wanted to please it, she was pushed away by the black cat with her paws, but Little Lychee was not discouraged, and tried her best to get to the black cat's side, looking like you don't recognize me, but I want to recognize you.
The next day, Minghui followed Wang Zhenren to Huizhenguan, and after returning from Huizhenguan, he officially resigned to Master Mingda.
Master Ming was still angry about the eldest lady's actions that night, and when he saw Minghui, he thought of the eldest lady, and then thought of Mingya, so he couldn't say anything about leaving Minghui in the mansion.
After the eldest lady gave birth to her eldest daughter, she gave birth to Mingda after a few years, Mingda was not easy to come by, and later had the youngest Mingxuan, so she paid less attention to Mingya who was sandwiched between the two.
Master Ming has always known that the eldest lady is partial to her son, but her daughter is stricter. In the past, Master Ming thought that this was also a matter of course, and it was precisely because of the strictness of the eldest lady that Ming Ya would be so sensible.
But now, Master Ming feels that the strictness of the eldest lady is a bit unreasonable.
Alas, fortunately, Mingya is a sensible child.
As for the little sister Minghui, forget it, if she wants to move to Huizhenguan, then go, not only will there be less dispute between her sister-in-law, but she can also take the opportunity to withdraw from her relationship with Huo Yu.
It's just that Master Ming looked at the girl in front of him who had not yet grown up, and thought of his father who had passed away, and his heart was sour.
"Little sister, big brother...... Big brother didn't take good care of you...... Originally, the eldest brother was supposed to go with you, but now ......"
Master Ming sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Let Mingda send you there, you are an aunt, he is a nephew, and it should be so." ”
Although Mingda is also in the filial piety period, Minghui is an elder, and Mingda sends Minghui, which is also filial piety, and no one will criticize it if it is spread out.
Master Ming took 2,000 taels of silver from the public as incense for Hui Zhenguan, and took 500 taels from his private account and handed it to Ming Hui.
Minghui didn't refuse, and accepted it calmly.
As Master Ming said, she is the daughter of the Ming family, and this is what she should take.
Wang Zhenren looked at all this coldly, and felt more and more that his decision back then was correct.
Back then, the old lady Ming wanted to take Minghui, who was less than one year old, back to the Ming family, and kept saying that this was the blood of the Ming family and could not be left outside.
It was she who insisted on not giving it and left Minghui in Yunmengguan.
If Minghui is handed over to the Ming family at that time, it is not certain whether Minghui can grow up safely.
Then everything went well, Mingda sent Minghui and Wang Zhenren to Huizhen Temple, Minghui didn't have many things, except for the ones she brought back from Yunmeng Mountain, which was the medicinal herbs and spices she had bought these days, as well as a bunch of bottles and cans.
Master Ming looked at his sister's luggage, and felt even more uncomfortable, he was really negligent, his sister lived at home for two months, and all the clothes and jewelry were not added.
In addition to these things, Minghui also brought two maids who did not regret it, as well as two cats, one big and one small.
When the eldest lady learned that Minghui was going to move to the Taoist temple, she immediately disappeared from all her illnesses, and praised Minghui again and again for her good luck, she actually got the blue eyes of the two old ladies of Jiang, and generously asked Chunyu and Chunmiao to follow, but Minghui refused.
Two seven or eight-year-old girls, what are she going to do?
The second and third rooms received the news, and also came from Shuijing Hutong, and each of the two rooms took out five hundred taels to make flowers for Minghui, and the second wife learned that Minghui was going to Huizhenguan, her eyes lit up, and she took Minghui's hand, and repeatedly promised that she would definitely go to see her.
Several nieces also sent things, because they are still in the filial piety period, so the things they send are also plain shoes and socks and plain handkerchiefs, Minghui didn't expect that Mingya actually came to send her, at a young age, but she wore a rabbit to lie down, covering the scars on her forehead, she gave Minghui a hand-embroidered fan.
Mingya's face was pale, and her smile was a little reluctant, but her speech and demeanor were still just right.
For some reason, Minghui saw a hint of envy in Mingya's gaze towards her.
Minghui didn't stay any longer, in this life, she saved Mingda's life, she and the Ming family don't owe each other, if you get together like this, it is the best arrangement.
The group went out of the city, and arrived at Huizhen Temple at noon, Mingda watched a few Taoist aunts carry Minghui's luggage to the back, he was a man, and it was inconvenient to follow him, but he didn't want to go back like this, so he just looked at Minghui with his eyes.
Minghui smiled and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”
Mingda was broken by Minghui's words, touched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I rarely come to the back house, I only found out two days ago, it turned out that my mother, my mother, alas, I really didn't expect that these days you actually live in that small broken yard, no one lives there at home, Wu Lizhu will not live when she comes, my mother, my mother is too much." ”
After living for two lifetimes, Minghui just knew that the courtyard was not as good as other courtyards, and she originally thought that it was just a little smaller and a little broken, but listening to Mingda's tone, how could it seem that there was still a hidden secret?
"What's wrong with that yard, haunted?" Minghui asked.
"It's not haunted, but it's about the same, you may have heard that why our family was separated from Dongcheng is because of the little uncle, the little uncle went to prison, and the Dongcheng side let our family go out of the clan, my grandfather just bought this house, and the news of the death of the little uncle came from the capital, and my grandfather took my father to the capital in a hurry.
The body of the little uncle was found in the mass grave, and when it was found, it had been gnawed to pieces by wild dogs, and at that time the first prince had not been rehabilitated, and my grandfather and my father hid the body of the little uncle in a big box in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, and brought it back to Baoding Mansion from the capital, and when the big box was carried into the house, it was placed in this courtyard. ”
