Chapter 143: A Pair of Gold Bracelets
Uncle Wu was arrested, the Wu family was raided, and even Aunt Wu was taken away!
When the eldest lady heard the news, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
She was sent back to Ming's house that day, and she fell ill that night, this time she was really sick, not pretending.
A few days ago, I finally got better, and I heard about the second old lady building a funeral shed at the door of Wu's house, and the eldest lady originally wanted to go to see Aunt Wu, but when she heard about it, she didn't dare to go.
What's more, Master Ming said to her sharply: "If you go, you don't have to come back!" ”
The eldest lady never dreamed that Master Ming would say such things to her.
At that time, the old lady of the Ming family had just turned one year old, and the old lady of the Wu family had just become pregnant.
Later, something happened, the Zhang family owed the old lady of the Wu family a favor, and the old lady of the Wu family liked Master Ming very much, half seriously and half jokingly, saying that she would let Master Ming be her son-in-law.
The two women made a family affair between talking and laughing, if Mrs. Wu gave birth to a female baby, then get married, if it is a male baby, then admit to be a parent.
Mrs. Ming is a person who keeps promises, although the Wu family has gone downhill since the death of Mrs. Wu, but Mrs. Ming has not thought about regretting marriage, and after the two children grow up, they will naturally become husband and wife.
The two have been married for almost 30 years, and over the years, although they are not in love, they have also respected each other.
The Ming family is well-off, and they split up early, the eldest wife has no mother-in-law, and the only father-in-law is also away all the year round, the Ming lord is modest, and he is not a careful person, these years, the eldest lady uses private money to supplement her mother's family, the Ming lord never asks, Mingda has, Wu Tong must also have, Wu Lizhu has, Mingya may not have.
In the eyes of the eldest lady, it is a matter of course for her to help her mother's family, and her nephews and nieces are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and she should be good to them.
She never thought that one day, Master Ming would not allow her to go back to her parents' house, and even said cruel words that she would not come back if she went out.
Don't let her come back?
What's the difference between this and divorced her?
She gave birth to two sons and two daughters to the Ming family, her son was a child, and her two sons-in-law were both lifters, she worked hard and made great achievements, why should she be divorced?
Until now, when I learned the news that the Wu family had been copied, the eldest lady was not good.
She sat there for a long time, and asked someone to call Mingda over.
She didn't dare to count on Master Mingda, so she could only let Mingda go.
"Your uncle's house has been raided, your cousin is alone in the capital, he wants to study, and he has to worry about your uncle's affairs, I'm afraid that there is no money on hand for a long time, you send these to him, don't let your father know, if he asks, you say go to the capital to see your second sister."
The eldest lady handed over a burden, and Mingda took it, well-behaved and sensible.
Mingda checked it, the burden was heavy, he went out of the yard, found a secluded place, opened the burden, and saw that there were two hundred taels of silver, a pair of gold bracelets with dragon and phoenix auspiciousness, two gold bills and two silver bills.
Mingda was a little suspicious of life, he always thought that he was the most painful person for the eldest wife!
But he has grown so big, and the eldest lady has never given him so many things, and he is already very content if he can pick five taels or six taels from the eldest lady on weekdays.
But I didn't expect that the eldest lady gave Wu Tong so much as soon as she made a move!
Mingda didn't say a word, went straight to Master Ming's study, and handed over the bag to Master Ming.
"My mother asked me to send it to the capital to give it to my cousin, I don't want to go."
Master Ming looked at this bag of things, his face was blue with anger, he knew this pair of gold bracelets, this was the dowry he gave when they got married!
He thought that even if the eldest lady didn't wear this pair of bracelets, she would keep them as a souvenir, or she would re-beat them into a new look and pass them on to her daughter or daughter-in-law.
Even in the most difficult time for the Ming family, they never reached the point where they let the female roll of the family sell their jewelry.
Mingda saw that his father was really angry, so he said: "Dad, it seems that my mother doesn't have much silver on hand, otherwise she wouldn't have even it."
The jewelry was also taken out, but fortunately it didn't fall into the hands of others, Dad, you put these away first, don't be angry. ”
The eldest lady has been in charge of the family for many years, how can she only have these private houses at hand, where her money has gone, Master Ming can guess without thinking about it.
Anyway, he didn't give his own children, either to his nephews and nephews, or to fill the bottomless pit of the Wu family.
Master Ming said to Mingda: "You go to the capital, talk to your second brother-in-law, don't worry about the affairs of the Wu family, even if Wu Tong comes to the door, don't bother, if your Uncle Huo is in the capital, also talk to him, I will bring you more silver, you rent a house in the capital, you live first, and when your eldest brother-in-law and eldest sister come, you don't need to rent a house anymore, you bring books, live in the capital for a few more days, live until Ming Jing gets married, and you come back." ”
Mingda understood that his father didn't want his mother's emotions to affect him, so he sent him to the capital, where Huo Yu and Chen Hongshen were in the capital, and Master Ming was still very relieved of him.
Master Ming wrote a letter to Huo Yu and Chen Hongshen respectively, and asked Mingda to bring them with him.
sent Mingda away, Master Ming thought about it, and went to Mingxuan's courtyard.
Ming Xuan was reciting the book, just a hundred words, and he couldn't breathe anymore, and he could hear Master Ming shaking his head.
The constitution is too poor.
Since the Wu family's accident, the eldest lady rarely asked about Mingxuan, and washed her face with tears all day long.
Master Ming thought about it, asked the maid to pack a few changes of clothes for Mingxuan, and brought the medicine that Mingxuan usually took, and he took Mingxuan to Yuexiu Hutong.
"Ming Jing is going to get married next month, your second brother and sister-in-law are the busiest time, Brother Jiu'er is still young and weak, your third sister-in-law's mind is on Brother Jiu'er, I think about it, only you are the most suitable here, so I brought Ming Xuan over and asked him to live with you for a few days, he is not naughty, he is still quite obedient, stay for a few days, if you are bored, let Wang An send him back."
As soon as Ming Hui heard this, she knew that something must have happened to the Zajube Tree Hutong, otherwise Master Ming would not have sent Ming Xuan over.
As for what's going on? Minghui doesn't have to guess to know that it must be related to the eldest wife.
The Wu family was raided, and she also knew about it.
In addition, she also knew that Huo Yu had come to Baoding, and this time he went to the dock to arrest people, and went to Wu's house to raid his house, Huo Yu led the team, but he didn't show up.
However, Huo Yu's third letter to her was also delivered, and it was delivered by Cabbage himself.
