After the excitement, people dispersed in twos and threes.
Mrs. Ming San was left alone to talk to Mrs. Ming.
"Auntie, I haven't told you in detail about Aunt Liu Xian yet..."
"I already know what happened next." Mrs. Ming intercepted her words and said calmly, "You have taken great pains to take care of Xiao Qi, and you have done a lot of hard work over the years. Now that Xiao Qi is well, the Ming family will remember your contribution."
Mrs. Mingsan lowered her head: "I am Xiaoqi's mother, and it is my duty to take care of her. It is not a credit. It's just that Liu Xiangu did what she did last time and found a fierce ghost. Now..."
"Be careful!" Mrs. Ming interrupted her coldly, "Third daughter-in-law, you have been married for so many years, don't you know the rules of our family? Last time, it was for Xiao Qi's sake that I allowed you to invite the goddess in.
The government is not asking you to be addicted to ghosts and gods! Do you believe everything the goddess says? In order to make money, even if they do three-thirds of things, they have to say ten-cents. What’s more, hasn’t the fourth child already surrounded the haunted place? In the future, hasn’t it?
Just tell people not to go."
"aunt……"
Mrs. Ming waved her hand: "It's getting late, you can take Xiaoqi back. She is good, but she is still a little confused. Taking care of her is the most important thing."
Mrs. Mingsan moved her lips but said nothing more: "Yes..."
"Call Xiaoqi to come in."
"yes."
Mingwei was brought to Mrs. Ming again.
Mrs. Ming's face was kind and loving, without the sharp words she had just said. She hugged Mingwei and kept telling her: "Are you tired after sitting for so long? You are the best, you should rest more and eat well. If those monkeys go to make trouble,
You, ignore them. My great-aunt has a lot of medicinal materials here. Ask your mother to give you more tonic..."
Mingwei answered each question seriously: "I'm not tired. I know, I must eat well, Auntie Xie..."
Mrs. Ming felt even more hurt when she saw how well-behaved she was. She asked someone to open a private treasury and bring back whatever was good for her. She said that she was old and it was time to dress up. She was sick in the past and couldn't be given anything, but now she can't.
Supply her...
In this way, Mingwei "recovered" from her illness and became a little rich woman.
Returning to Yu Fangyuan, Mrs. Ming San did not take her back to the main room, but went to Liujing Hall first.
"Xiaoqi, come."
The maids were all left outside, and Mrs. Ming San personally lit candles and incense.
"Nine Heavenly Mysteries..." Mingwei looked at the statue on the table and murmured.
"You actually recognize it?" Mrs. Ming San put the incense stick in her hand and said, "Since your father passed away and our mother and daughter returned to Dongning, my mother has offered this Xuannv Empress. She burns incense every day and every night.
I copy the scriptures at night and hope that Empress Xuannu will bless you and have a safe life."
She opened the cabinet and took out a thick stack of copied scriptures.
She copied these word by word and burned them every once in a while. Now she has accumulated many more.
"Mom, I didn't expect that your illness could actually be cured. It is said that Empress Xuannu punishes rape and eradicates evil, and bless all living beings. It is true." Mrs. Mingsan had a faint smile on her face, but it had an inexplicable meaning.
After bowing respectfully three times, she looked at Mingwei who was in a daze: "You also bow and thank Empress Xuannv."
Little did she know that Mingwei was in a daze because most people worshiped Guanyin Bodhisattva, Bixia Yuanjun, Mazu, etc., but few worshiped Xuannv Empress.
This female fairy is the god of killing.
Mingwei's mind was racing and she suddenly had an idea.
She suddenly grabbed Mrs. Mingsan's hand and said, "Mom, I remembered."
"What?"
Mingwei looked at the statue of Xuannv Empress on the altar table: "I remember that I had been wandering for a long time, and suddenly one day I saw a female fairy. She said that someone had made a good fortune for me, so she kept me to serve her. And
After a while, I heard my mother calling me, and the female fairy gave me a push, saying that my good fortune was over and it was time to go back and repay my kindness."
Mrs. Mingsan opened her eyes wide and trembled her lips: "Is she really the empress Xuannv?"
Mingwei nodded affirmatively: "That's why I recognize it."
Mrs. Mingsan burst into tears, and while weeping, she bowed down: "Thank you so much, Empress Xuannv, thank you so much, Empress Xuannv..."
Mrs. Mingsan couldn't stop crying.
Until Mother Child came over and cried in her arms.
"Mommy, Empress Xuannv appeared. It was Empress Xuannv who brought Xiaoqi back." Mrs. Mingsan hugged Aunt Tong and burst into tears. "All the suffering is worth it. All these years are worth it..."
"Okay, okay! It's all worth it." Aunt Tong was also in tears, "Now that the young lady is well, the madam must take good care of herself. With Madam Xuannv on top, good people will be rewarded, and bad people will be punished!
"
Speaking of the last sentence, Grandma Tong's words sounded like she was gritting her teeth.
Mingwei watched silently as their master and servant hugged each other and cried, then looked up at the statue of Xuannv with a solemn face.
Bad guy, who is it?
…
That night, Mrs. Ming and Ming Wei stayed together.
"Mom, what kind of person is father...?"
Mrs. Mingsan met her daughter, side by side, and her eyes became particularly gentle due to the memories: "Your dad, he should be the best person in the world, right? He is versatile, gentle in nature, and kind-hearted. Mom's first time
When I saw him, I thought, how could there be such a good person in this world?"
"first?"
"Well. At that time, your uncle was still studying hard in Dongning. The Ji family had been in decline for many years, and it was inevitable that they would not be able to support themselves during bad times. So, my mother embroidered scriptures for Baoling Temple to subsidize some family expenses. Once,
My mother went to Baoling Temple to deliver scriptures, but she accidentally fell into the hunter's trap. The sky and the earth didn't respond. Who would have thought that your father happened to be passing by..."
Mrs. Mingsan fell into memories and slowly told the past events of her early years.
"...It was getting late, and he, a weak scholar, carried my mother on his back and walked to the mountain to ask for help. My mother was saved, but he didn't even leave his name. Others told me that he was a young master of the Ming family."
"Then, how did my parents get married?"
Mrs. Ming San seemed to have returned to that time, with a sad sweetness in her tone: "The Ji family has declined, and my mother knew that she was not worthy of the Ming family's young master, so she just regarded it as an accidental encounter. A few days later, my mother bought some pen and ink for her uncle.
, met him again...not long after, the Ming family sent a matchmaker to the door."
"Your great-aunt was originally not very fond of this marriage. But your father has always been well-behaved and begged for it. Although the Ji family fell into decline, the family tradition is still there, so he finally agreed."
"Xiaoqi," Mrs. Mingsan hugged her daughter, "my parents have been married for eight years, and you are the only one left. I never expected that your father would die like this. You have to be good and let your father feel at ease in heaven. In this way, mother
It’s worthy of your father…”
Mingwei looked at Miss Mingqi in the barrier.
Although there was only one soul and three souls left, he had already left the soul at this time, and his mind was even more confused. When he heard Mrs. Ming's words, tears seemed to roll down his pale face.
