Riding the Pheonix Chapter 5: Uncle 4


This man is about thirty-six or seventy-seven. He is still as tall as a green pine in his middle age, with a fair and clean face. The short beard on his lips is trimmed appropriately, which adds to his mature charm. You can imagine how handsome and elegant he was in his youth.

However, at this moment, with his face as deep as water and his steps as fast as the wind, he led a group of healthy servants into Yufang Garden and went straight to the altar.

"Fourth Master!" Mother Tong was shocked and glanced at Mrs. Ming San in panic.

It’s over, the fourth master actually knew about this!

Among the masters of the Ming family, the Fourth Master is the one with the most stubborn temper, and he can’t get rid of the dirt in his eyes. If something happens to him, no matter who it is, they will have no face to talk about.

The Ming Fourth Master ignored him. When he arrived at the scene, he glanced over, pointed at the incense table he had just raised, and shouted: "Smash it for me!"

The healthy servants responded loudly, stepped forward and pushed the servant woman away, and began to smash the incense table without any politeness.

Screams and smashing sounds were mixed together.

Mother Tong was anxious: "Four Masters, wait a moment! This matter was approved by the old lady!"

Mr. Mingsi turned around, his eyes like a carving knife swept over Mrs. Mingsan's face, looked at Nanny Tong and sneered: "Are you using the old lady to pressure me?"

Nanny Tong didn’t dare to look at him, so she crouched down and lowered her head: "I don’t dare! It’s just that there is something else going on in this matter, please ask the Fourth Master..."

"What's the inside story?" Mr. Mingsi didn't want to hear it at all, so he cut her off and said, "You are a slave of the Ming family. Don't you know the rules of the Ming family? How dare you encourage your master to do such a witchcraft? I don't think so. You are the first one to be beaten!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Hold this old guy down and hit him!"

Jian Pu agreed and came up to pull Nanny Tong.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Mingsan could not remain silent and raised her voice: "Wait a minute!" She walked out of the pavilion, stopped ten steps away from the fourth master, and said, "Fourth uncle, you are the uncle and I am the sister-in-law. , even if I do something wrong, there is no reason for you to hit my personal nanny!"

Master Ming Si’s sharp eyes paused on her face and said coldly: "Sister-in-law, you also know that you are wrong?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Mingsan frowned: "Four uncle, don't be so aggressive. If you have any dissatisfaction, let's discuss it. Bringing people into the widow's garden like this, beating and smashing it, it's nice to talk about it. ?"

"Theory!" Mr. Mingsi nodded, "Okay, let's do the theory. Third sister-in-law, you are a well-known talented woman. You always remember the Ming family rules, right?"

"Of course I remember. But..."

Master Mingsi did not give her a chance to speak: "Since I remember, why did I violate it so openly? Not only did I invite a goddess, but I also set up an altar to perform the practice! What is the difference between walking like this and a foolish village girl?!"

"I also know that this is inappropriate, but Xiaoqi was so scared, I..."

"Xiao Qi is frightened and sick, so you should seek medical advice," Mr. Ming Si interrupted again and glanced at Ming Wei behind her, "Isn't it already healed?"

Mrs. Mingsan’s eyebrows tightened: “Xiao Qi is cured this time, but the root cause of the disease has not gone away. I don’t want her to be frightened again.”

There was a trace of ridicule on Master Mingsi's handsome face: "I heard some things earlier and thought they were just gossips from a servant. So it turns out that the third sister-in-law thinks the same way? Ha, you are really confused to say that Xiaoqi is a ghost. ! Where do ghosts and monsters come from in this world? You ignorant women and children, you are so ridiculous that you listen to the wind and it rains!"

"No!" Mother Tong couldn't help but defend Mrs. Ming San, "What Liu Xiangu did just now, we really saw a ghost, everyone can testify!"

After she finished speaking, several brave servants responded: "Yes, Fourth Master, we have all seen it, there is really a ghost."

Master Ming Si just sneered, and glanced at Madam Liu who dared not speak with contemptuous eyes: "Do you also believe in the methods of charlatans? Why is there blood on the paper? It's just a matter of applying potion in advance and spitting fire from the mouth. In fact, there is blood on it. This kind of cover-up method is to deceive a foolish woman! Needless to say, just throw these messy things out to me! Let me know in the future, it will not end so well."

After giving the instructions, Mr. Mingsi glared at Mrs. Mingsan again: "If Third Sister-in-law feels that I have done something wrong, just go and complain to Auntie! If you have any suggestions, I will follow up! But I have a piece of advice here, Third Sister-in-law is the best Listen to it nicely: You are a person of integrity. For the sake of Third Brother’s reputation, take care of yourself and don’t ruin the family tradition of our Ming family!”

After that, the fourth master of Ming Dynasty left with his healthy servants, carrying the incense case and other items.

Mother Tong was shaking with anger.

How can a brother-in-law talk to his sister-in-law like this? Even if he is the head of the family, he should be polite to his widowed sister-in-law, right? He pointed his nose at his sister-in-law and scolded her for ruining the family tradition. If she is an angry person, why should she die to express her ambition?

Fortunately, Mrs. Mingsan's temper had been calmed down a long time ago. When her brother-in-law scolded her in front of the maid, she just smiled calmly: "Pack your things away, and do whatever you need to do."

He then comforted Madam Liu: "The fairy is frightened. Mother, please come inside and have a cup of tea to calm down the shock."

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Tong understood and asked Madam Liu to go in and talk, "Fairy aunt, please."

When they left, Mrs. Mingsan looked at her daughter carefully and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoqi. My fourth uncle is actually very good, but he has a bit of a short temper."

Mingwei didn't want her to worry, so she nodded.

Mrs. Mingsan repeatedly confirmed that her daughter was fine, then turned around and ordered: "Duofu, accompany the lady to rest." Remembering that Duofu had been frightened just now, she called two more maids, "You guys go and watch."

Yu Fangyuan's servant ~IndoMTL.com~ has always been very organized. In just a few words, he will clean up what needs to be dealt with and leave what should be left.

Mrs. Mingsan returned to the house and waited for a while in the Toji Room, which was used as a study room. Mother Tong came back.

"Madam, the fourth master..."

Mrs. Mingsan waved her hand: "Don't worry about this matter, just talk about the fairy lady."

Mother Tong had no choice but to endure it and reported to her: "Xiangu said that people in Xuanmen are always mysterious, and she doesn't know where to look for them."

Mrs. Mingsan thought for a while: "How long can that thing survive?"

"If you can seal the Yin Qi, you will have three to five months."

Mrs. Mingsan nodded: "Then we should go to Xuandu, the capital, to watch."

"Yes." But Mother Tong was still worried, "We invited Fairy Girl before, and the old lady agreed to do it. But this matter is too big, and the masters must come forward. But the family rules are ignored, and the fourth master has such an attitude , I’m afraid the other masters won’t agree.”

The Ming family actually divided into two rooms.

The eldest son of Mr. Mingxiang was the eldest son of the eldest son. He died ten years ago. There are currently four masters, ranked one, two, five and six respectively.

The old man and the old lady of the second room died earlier, thirty years ago. There is only one pair of twins left, namely the third master Ming and the fourth master Ming.

At that time, the two gentlemen were only six or seven years old, so there was no reason to leave them alone. Therefore, the two gentlemen grew up in front of their uncles and aunts. Even if they separated into separate houses when they grew up, their relationship was closer than ordinary uncles.

It’s just that no matter how close they are, they still share a room. Now that the third master Ming is gone, the fourth master Ming is the head of the second room. If other people want to get involved in the affairs of the second wife, they have to ask Mr. Mingsi.

After a while, Mrs. Mingsan said: "I will find a way to do this. Let's ask the fairy to seal the Yin Qi first."
