When Mingwei returned to the carriage, Fu Jin was flipping through a travel diary and said, "Miss Ming is really kind-hearted and still remembers their sisters."
"I just asked others to remind me. They have suffered enough in the past few years."
Fu Jin nodded and said, "Things are hard in the palace. The eldest prince has no hope of recovery and is moody. Although someone has reminded him not to lose his temper at will, he still often loses control. As long as he loses his temper, others will suffer disaster.
.Especially the Wen sisters, he hates the Wen family, how can he not anger them?"
Mingwei thought thoughtfully: "The eldest prince has completely lost hope now, so there is no need to endure it anymore."
"Who says it's not the case?" Fu Jin sighed, "Poor people around him, life will be even more difficult in the future."
Mingwei nodded.
Fu Jin glanced at her and said, "Miss Ming, what do you think when you see you like this?"
Ming smiled and said: "Didn't it take two years for the eldest prince to realize Taoism? Since he is so filial, why not pray for the late emperor?"
Fu Jin clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, this is a good idea!"
The identity of the eldest prince is very difficult to deal with. He is the late emperor's deposed prince, but Yang Shu is not of the late emperor's blood. If he is not treated well, it will be true, but it is not good if he is too tolerant.
Fortunately, in order to change his own image, the eldest prince had gone along with the situation by publicizing his addiction to Taoism.
As a result, he can only cultivate his moral character. For him, this is very painful, but in the eyes of the world, there is nothing wrong with it.
"By the way, what happened to the Huang Court case?"
Fu Jindao: "What else can I do? Of course I ended up in confusion. There was no clue anyway, so I just blamed it on that wandering doctor. Huang Yuan was dismissed from his post and I asked him to take his family back to his hometown."
Mingwei nodded. This matter was really unlucky for Huang Yuan, so he asked Fu Jin to make a trick and got him involved.
…
In an alley near Pingan Street, a three or four-year-old child was playing in front of the door.
Mrs. Ming Si came out of the kitchen and shouted: "Zheng'er, come in quickly, it's time to eat."
The child agreed and carried the ball into the house.
Ming Sheng's wife, Mrs. Liu, held a child about one year old in her arms and said, "Wash your hands first to see how dirty you are."
Mrs. Ming Si had a kind face: "Children, how can you not be naughty? Come on, Zheng'er, go wash your hands with grandma."
Mrs. Liu put her little daughter down to serve the rice.
She took out the lunch box, packed the dishes, and prepared to send them to Ming Sheng.
Ming Xiang got married, and Ming Kun joined the army. Mrs. Liu gave birth to a daughter again. On weekdays, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took care of the housework and took care of the children, while Ming Sheng ran a pen and ink shop. Their life was not rich, but they did not have to worry about food and clothing.
As soon as I picked up my lunch box and went out, I bumped into someone at the door.
"Oops!" Ms. Liu was very anxious when she saw the lunch box falling to the ground. She raised her head and wanted to reason, but found that it was her husband, "Ms. sir? Why are you back?"
Ming Sheng was holding a piece of paper in his hand with an excited expression, which made Ms. Liu worried: "Something happened?"
"Come in and talk." Ming Sheng dropped the words and hurried into the room, shouting, "Mother! Mother!"
Mrs. Mingsi came out with her granddaughter in her arms. She was confused by his behavior: "What's wrong? What's going on? If you're not in the shop, what are you doing at home?"
Although five years had passed, the experience of ransacking her home was still deeply etched in her memory.
Until Mingsheng handed over the paper in his hand and shouted: "Look at this!"
Mrs. Ming Si glanced at it a few times and was stunned.
"What's going on..." Mrs. Liu also saw it, and she let out a sigh, staring at the white paper again and again, and finally grabbed Ming Sheng, with a face full of joy, "Mr. sir! Mr., you can take the imperial examination!"
"Yes! I can do it..." Mingsheng murmured, crying unknowingly.
He was the best-student in his family, and his goal had been to win the gold medal since he was a child. However, five years ago, something unexpected happened and he was implicated in a rebellion, which cut off this path.
In the past five years, he had been busy with his family's livelihood and did not dare to let himself think about it. Only the neatly packed books revealed a little bit of yearning.
Unexpectedly, he actually looked forward to this day.
The new emperor ascended the throne and granted a general amnesty to the world. Except for the main criminals, the Ming family members no longer had to sit together.
"Xiao Jiu doesn't know yet. I'll ask someone to inform him later." Ming Sheng wiped away his tears and picked up Ming Zheng, "Zheng'er, daddy will find your husband tomorrow to enlighten you!"
Mrs. Liu couldn't laugh or cry, and said angrily: "You are too anxious. Zheng'er is not even four years old yet, and it is still early for him to be enlightened. Mr. won't accept him!"
Mingsheng smiled and said: "Then let's learn the characters first."
Mrs. Mingsi recovered, wiped her tears and said, "You take care of yourself first! You have fallen behind a lot in your homework in the past five years. Is it okay to pick it up now? If it is okay, close the shop first and concentrate on studying."
"How can this be done? If the shop is closed, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Mom, I've been reading books in the past few years. It's no problem to pick them up. You can read while looking at the shop."
"It's such a distraction! How about my wife go to the store and I'll take care of the two children."
"Mom, you have to do housework and take care of the children all by yourself, how can you take care of it? Besides, it's not good for me to show up in public..."
"Mr. sir, it's okay. I'll get up in the morning and do some work first before going to the shop. At dinner time, you can help my mother, so that my mother only has to look after the two children..."
Mrs. Mingsi used to be pampered and could not handle housework as well as women from poor families. As for Ms. Liu, although her family background is not as good as that of the previous Ming family, she is still an official lady. If she is willing to marry, her family has kept its promise. Mingsheng will definitely not
I want her to show her face and earn a living.
No one in the family can convince anyone, so they can only eat first.
Mrs. Liu went out to clean up the food scattered on the floor.
She opened the door and saw a man staring at the door of her house in a daze.
Mrs. Liu was startled and asked: "Uncle, are you looking for someone?"
This man's hair is half white, his clothes are half old, and he is very old. However, he has a good appearance, with a slightly tanned face and regular features. He must have been quite handsome when he was young.
Mrs. Liu thought he looked familiar, but after searching her memory, she could not find such a person.
The man looked at her twice and asked hesitantly: "You, are you Miss Liu's wife, Sheng'er's wife?"
He spoke slowly and cautiously.
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, but before she could answer, Ming Sheng had already come out of the yard.
He was shocked: "Dad?"
Mrs. Liu was confused. Is this the father-in-law?
When she got married, Ming Sheng explained it. Mr. Ming Si felt guilty and did not go home after he was released from prison. But every month, he would ask someone to send some silver. Ming Sheng was only seventeen years old at that time, and Ming Xiang and
Ming and Kun are fourteen and nine years old, and Mrs. Ming's fourth wife doesn't know how to work. Without the money, life would be even more difficult.
Mrs. Mingsi heard the sound and came out to see Mr. Mingsi.
How different is his appearance from his fair and handsome appearance back then? I don’t know what he has gone through in the past five years.
"Master..." She only shouted once and was already choked with sobs. (To be continued)
