Riding the Pheonix Chapter 14: Cleaning
"Interesting." Mingwei murmured.
Duofu didn’t understand: “Miss, what’s so interesting about this?”
Of course it's interesting.
The living soul can feed evil creatures, making them more ferocious.
What grudges are there to use this method to harm Mrs. Ming and her daughter? If this vicious creature develops, no one in this garden will be able to survive.
"Duofu, get something and put these together." Mingwei pointed at the gadgets piled in front of him.
"Okay."
Mingwei raised his eyes and looked at Yu Fangyuan in the sun.
The grass and trees are sprouting, flowers are waiting to bloom, and the spring is getting brighter and brighter.
"Go and tell mother that this garden needs to be swept." She said slowly, "Spring returns to the earth and everything grows. Only by sweeping away all the dirt can we have a better future."
……
The west courtyard of the Ming Dynasty.
In those days, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty was famous all over the world, and the Ming Mansion in Dongning was also built magnificently.
After that, the two bedrooms were divided, with the eldest bedroom in the east and the second bedroom in the west.
The main courtyard of the west courtyard originally belonged to Mr. Ming San. Later, Master Mingsan died as a beggar. Mrs. Mingsan returned to her former residence with her daughter, gave up the main courtyard and lived in Yufangyuan.
The third master of Ming Dynasty died, and there was no male left, so the second wife’s family had to be inherited by the fourth master of Ming Dynasty. Mrs. Mingsan did this, which can be said to be quite sensible.
The fourth lady of the Ming Dynasty also appreciated this and put Yu Fangyuan first in everything.
In the eyes of outsiders, the family is really harmonious.
At that moment, after the fourth lady finished handling the housework, she returned to the main room and saw the fourth master sitting there, drinking tea with a frown on his face.
I don’t know how many times the tea was brewed, but it was already bland and tasteless. He didn’t ask anyone to change it, and just drank it like wine.
The fourth lady did not expect him to be there at this time. She was startled and touched her chest: "What's wrong with the master? Are you back so early today?"
The fourth master said "hmm" and said nothing with a dull face.
The fourth lady was a little scared when she saw him like this and didn't dare to talk to him, so she planned to go to the kitchen to have a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, the Fourth Master stopped her: "Why is Xiaoqi getting better? She was born stupid, and after seeing so many famous doctors, they all said she couldn't be cured. Why did she suddenly get better?" ”
So this is what happened? What's there to be angry about? The fourth lady was a little confused.
To say that the life of the fourth lady was quite comfortable compared to the days of the sisters-in-law who stayed in Dongning.
The second wife and the second master don't get along, so they have been living barely for the sake of their children for so many years. The sixth master is a spendthrift and a drunkard, and the sixth wife is weak-tempered and has a lot of troubles.
The Fourth Master has a bad temper, but he is very restrained at home. After all these years, there are no concubines intermingling with each other, and the three children are all the children of the fourth wife.
To say that it was unsatisfactory, it probably meant that the two of them didn't get along with each other.
They have been married for eighteen years and their son is now seventeen. To this day, the fourth wife still feels that she cannot understand her husband’s thoughts at all. Mingming slept in the same place every night, but refused to say a word.
Sometimes I feel sad when I think about it. But looking back at the Second Madam and the Sixth Madam, she has nothing to complain about.
The fourth lady replied: "Master, do you remember that Dr. Zhong once said that Xiao Qi's dementia was caused by loss of soul?"
The Fourth Master nodded: "Back then, Third Brother asked someone to summon Xiao Qi's soul, but it was of no use."
"I'm afraid the person I invited can't do it." The fourth lady recounted exactly what Ming Wei said, "...that's it."
Master Mingsi took another sip of tea but said nothing.
The fourth wife was worried, wondering what made her husband unhappy.
"Master..."
As soon as he called out, he was cut off by the fourth master: "Did these words come from Xiaoqi himself?"
The fourth lady was confused: "Of course she said it, how do others know where her soul has gone?"
"Look at her, is she really not stupid at all?"
The fourth lady nodded: "Not only am I not stupid, I think she is better than those monkeys at home." After a pause, she added, "By the way, there was another explanation this morning about Xiao Qi's return to the soul. ."
"What do you mean?"
"It is said that Empress Xuannv, whom Third Sister-in-law enshrined, appeared. Xiaoqi's soul was left to serve by Empress Xuannv. Third Sister-in-law was sincere and sincere, so Empress Xuannv sent her back."
The fourth master paused for a moment with the teacup in his hand, and became displeased: "What is the Xuan Nu Empress? She is pretending to be a ghost!"
The fourth lady was shocked, knowing that her husband hated ghosts and gods, so she hurriedly said: "That's what the child said, but no one took it seriously. Maybe the third sister-in-law was afraid of outsiders' comments, so she came up with such an excuse."
"Hmph!" The fourth master stood up, "Nonsense! Don't get involved, don't go to Yu Fang Yuan in the near future, and take care of your children."
The fourth lady lowered her head: "I know." Seeing the fourth master striding out the door, she hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Master, it's time for lunch, will you come back?"
The fourth master didn’t even look back: “I won’t look back, you can use it yourself!”
The fourth lady sighed silently.
It happens again, it happens every time. He could be angry or happy, but he never shared it with her.
The fourth lady felt bitterness in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it.
Why is she dissatisfied? Although her husband is not close to her, she still respects her. She has no control over external affairs, but she has the final say at home. ~IndoMTL.com~ We also have children. The eldest son is excellent and obedient, and the daughter and younger son are well-behaved and cute.
It's time for her to be content.
Full of worries, the fourth lady turned around and went back to the house, only to see the stewardess coming beside her in a hurry: "Madam! Over there at Yu Fangyuan..."
The fourth master had just stepped out of the yard when the fourth lady’s urgent call came from behind him.
"Master! Master!"
He looked at the fourth lady walking quickly, feeling even more bored, and his tone was not very good: "Didn't I tell you to eat by yourself?"
"No, sir!" The fourth lady said hurriedly, "Just now, Grandma Yu came to report that Yu Fangyuan was cleaning the garden..."
"They just sweep, why do they care so much?"
The fourth lady added the second half of the sentence: "...Xiao Qi wants to tear down that wall."
"What?" Mr. Mingsi's expression changed, and he didn't have time to say a word, so he turned towards Yu Fangyuan.
The fourth lady was hesitating whether she should follow or not, when Mingsheng came back: "Mom? Why do you look so ugly? Where are you going, dad?"
The fourth lady looked at her son, who was almost as tall as her husband, and suddenly had a backbone: "Xiaoqi wants to tear down the wall your father built. Your father is angry. Now rush to Yufangyuan..."
Ming Sheng was startled and immediately chased after him.
"Sheng'er!" the fourth lady shouted, "Don't fight your father..."
"Got it!"
Ming Sheng hurriedly hurried and did not stop the Fourth Master before he entered Yu Fangyuan.
In Yu Fang Garden, the strong servants were obeying Ming Wei's request and knocking down the wall.
The wall was built thin. When Master Mingsi arrived, he had already asked them to push down most of it.
"Stop!" He was furious and strode up to Mrs. Mingsan, "What are you doing? I said there was a ghost before, so I was surrounded by people, and now I want to push her down?"
