Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 34 Discipline
The second wife sat on the side with a look of watching the excitement.

Behind the screen, there was the melodious sound of jingling bells, the fourth girl Wei Mingqi, the fifth girl Wei Mingyi, and the cousin girl Xie Wanhua walked in.

Seeing the old lady's pale face, several of them slowed down a little, and they didn't dare to step forward, they stood aside, their eyeballs circling Ming Concubine's body.

The Su family did not dare to intercede for Ming concubine, living in the Su family, and Ming concubine is a granddaughter, the Su family has the responsibility to discipline and restrain her, allowing her to disguise herself as a man, no matter where she goes, it will be the Su family and her discipline no way.

Su took a step closer, looked at Ming concubine and said, "My concubine, tell mother, why are you wearing men's clothes?"

The Su family respects rules, if it is not a last resort, the Su family will not allow Ming concubine to mess around, not to mention that the clothes belong to Yang'er.

Ming concubine lowered her head slightly and said, "That day, mother returned to the Hou's mansion early in the morning. I knew it was because of the eldest son's adoptive son. I also knew that the disappearance of elder brother was a pain in the heart of you, dad and grandma. Ming concubine was ignorant before. , now that Ming concubine has recovered, she also wants to do her part.

Xi'er told me that the priest had calculated for me that I would get my eldest brother back in the future, but I am a daughter, and it is not easy for me to go out on the street, so how dare I talk to a stranger on the street casually? I have been thinking about this I probably think about it day by day, dream about it at night, and I really dreamed about it at night. My elder brother and I called each other brothers, and I really found him back...

I told my grandfather about this, and he said that he had seen this kind of situation in a book. My elder brother and I are the same mother, maybe it was a feeling between brother and sister. I begged my cousin for a long time, he loves my mother, loves me, and can't stand my softness, so he brought me a set of men's clothes. He originally planned to change them and go back to Su's house, but they were just sugar figurines bought on the street. It melted and stuck to the skirt and couldn't be changed, and when I got off the carriage, I was blocked by Mama Li..."

At the end of Ming Yu's speech, her voice was too weak to be heard, but she took the time to glance at Li's mother with a complaining look, but it was very lethal.

Xie Wanhua stood aside and whispered, "It's not like the big cousin will be found by the big cousin in the future, right?"

Su's eyes were red, she hugged Ming concubine, and cried, "Mother knows that concubine will not wear men's clothing for no reason, and the Su family will not be so unruly..."

Speaking of the missing young master, the old lady's eyes were also moist. On the day Cheng'er disappeared, she was still acting like a baby in her arms, asking her to bring him pastries. She was afraid that it would damage his teeth if it was too sweet and would not allow him to eat more. Thinking of this, the old lady The wife is heartbroken.

Ming Concubine was interested in Xie Wanhua's words, and said, "Mother, didn't you ask me to stay with my grandmother at the Su's house? My grandmother was so eager to call me back, what happened?"

Su wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "God bless you, the ancestors of the Su family bless you, not only did you come back safely, but your father also met a miracle doctor, and his old illnesses can be cured. Tomorrow your grandmother will go to the Buddha's Light The temple fulfills its wish, let you go together, and tell your fortune by the way."

Returning a wish is a good thing, indicating that the wish has been fulfilled.

But she disappeared in Foguang Temple, don't they know how to hide it, and let her go?

My intuition told Mingyu that the last sentence that Su said incidentally, the key point was asking her to go to Foguang Temple for fortune-telling.

She suppressed her doubts and said, "Then I'll wear men's clothes."

What does it mean to give three points of color and open a dyeing workshop? Ming concubine is well versed in this. Only by making her disguise as a man a matter of course, reasonable, difficult and unavoidable, can she escape punishment.

Although the old lady's face was not as cold as before, she was still serious, "Who would dare to cheat in front of the Bodhisattva?"

Ming concubine puffed her cheeks, Su took her hand, and said gently, "Mother believes that your elder brother will find it, go back and change this clothes."

Ming concubine nodded, Fushen retreated, her knees were bent down, and she suddenly realized that she was still wearing men's clothes, which was a bit nondescript, so she quickly changed to bowing.

Xie Wanhua covered her mouth and smiled, and the old lady's cold expression softened a bit.

After leaving the Changhui Courtyard, Xi'er was still ignorant, as if falling into a dream, and said in a daze, "The old lady didn't punish the girl?"

Seeing her expression of disbelief, Mingyu smiled and said, "You really want me to be punished?"

Xi'er shook her head like a rattle. Of course she didn't want the girl to be punished. The girl was already punished. As a maid, she would only be punished more severely.

It's just that she passed the level so easily, as if she was a little sorry for the anxious tears she shed in the carriage...

Walking forward, on the way, I saw Xueyan walking quickly, and when she saw Ming Concubine and Xi'er, she took up her skirt and ran over here, surprised, "Miss, are you alright?"

Xi'er raised her neck and said, "Of course the girl is fine." She even survived the fall from the cliff, let alone a mere woman disguised as a man!

Xueyan nodded and said, "Mother Zhou is worried that the girl will be punished, so let the slaves come over and take a look, as long as the girl is fine."

Ming concubine smiled lightly and asked, "Why did the old lady ask me to go to Foguang Temple for fortune-telling?"

She just asked casually, and didn't have much hope at first. Who would have thought that Xueyan really knew, she said, "In the early years, Madam told the girl that there would be a calamity in the girl's life, just get over it, Madam thought that calamity It refers to the girl falling into the water. Now it seems to mean that the girl disappeared and fell off the cliff. When the girl came back from the disappearance, Mrs. Su stepped into the gate of hell and came back alive. Hou Ye’s illness of more than ten years has improved, and the eldest son no longer needs to have a stepchild. There is no need to fight for the Hou Mansion, everyone is happy, Madam believes that the fortune-telling is accurate, and firmly believes that the girl can find the young master back, but the second wife and the others don't believe it, so why don't they use an excuse to fulfill their wish and let the girl do the calculation again..."

Originally, the Su family disagreed. She was afraid that the matter of Foguang Temple would happen again, and she would not be able to bear it.

It's a pity that it's hard to do it alone, Su's alone, how can he compare with the second wife and the others, doesn't it mean that the concubine is lucky, and she can fall off the cliff safely, so what is there to be afraid of?

Could it be that he choked on eating and won't eat in the future?
Mrs. Su couldn't say no to them, and the old lady also agreed, so she nodded. This is how Mama Li went to Su's house to pick up concubine Ming.

Fortunately, the catastrophe passed without any risk.

After returning to Hanyuyuan, Ming concubine rubbed her neck and told Xi'er, "It's hard work, you go to Su's house again, tell Master Biao that I'm fine, and then take back all the things I left at Su's house, and let Master Biao Find me some medical books and bring them back with you."

Xi'er nodded, "The maidservant will go after changing her clothes."

It was late at this time, when Xi'er came back from Su's house, it was already dark, and the maids were lighting candles in the corridor.

The three big boxes were full, and the wives who were carrying them were all out of breath. Zhou's mother stuffed a purse in it, and the wives were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.

There are three big boxes, two boxes of medicinal materials and stone ladles, and the remaining box is books, various "Medical Classics", "Medical Classics" and "Miscellaneous Diseases". It is not bragging to say that the Su family has the largest collection of books in the world.

Ming concubine took the letter and opened it. After reading a few pages, she frowned... There is an error in the medical book.

Seeing that the box was wrapped in silk, Xi'er showed it to Ming concubine, "Girl, this must be something important."

Ming concubine put down the medical book and opened the silk and satin, but was very disappointed. There was nothing important about it, it was just a few copybooks, wrapped in silk and satin to distinguish it from the medical book.

It gave Xi'er a chance to tease her, "Master Biao must think that the girl's handwriting is ugly, so he needs to practice hard."

Ming concubine glanced sideways, and Xi'er's raised neck slowly retracted, with a cowardly expression of a servant who didn't say anything, which made Zhou's mother laugh straight away.
