The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

"what?"

Mingjin didn't react.

The shopkeeper thought Mingjin was just embarrassed and did not expose her. He just smiled and continued to comb her hair with the comb.

"You mean me and..."

It took Mingjin a while to react.

Seeing the female shopkeeper's expression of "I understand, don't worry, I won't say anything", Ming Jin felt helpless: "You misunderstood, he..."

Ming Jin didn't know how to describe Gu Mingheng for a moment, but she ended up using a name she hadn't called him by in a long time.

"He is my uncle."

"what?"

Now it was the female shopkeeper's turn to be surprised.

The hair-combing action stopped and the female shopkeeper looked at Mingjin in shock.

Seeing Mingjin's helpless expression, she finally realized that she had made a big joke. She was really embarrassed: "Oh, look at what happened. Blame it on me, blame it on me."

It was the first time since she opened a business that she made a mistake. The female shopkeeper even blushed.

"fine."

Mingjin didn't care about it, he just found it a little funny.

The female shopkeeper was very skillful and restored Mingjin's hair to the way it was when he first came.

Mingjin thanked everyone.

"It's okay, it's okay." The female shopkeeper waved her hands repeatedly, still feeling embarrassed about what had just happened.

Ming Jin didn't say much and got up and went out.

Gu Mingheng was originally standing with his back to the shop. At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the street. Apart from them, there were only some vendors and shops that had not yet closed.

Hearing the voice, he turned around and saw Ming Jin coming out dressed in women's clothes.

"All right."

He asked in a normal tone.

Ming Jin nodded softly and walked over.

Just when I was about to ask about Hua Sui and the others, I saw them coming back happily.

"master!"

Hua Sui bought a lot of things.

Wu Ji had quite a few bags here and there.

She now has a good monthly salary and not much expenses in the Marquis' Mansion. Over time, she has saved up a lot of pocket money.

Seeing how pitiful Abao looked just now, I bought a lot of things.

I also bought one for Mingjin.

"Master, I bought some roasted sweet potatoes for you and the prince. They are so delicious!" She said to Mingjin with a smile.

Ming Jin could smell the scent of roasted sweet potatoes from a distance.

Thinking of the days when she and Hua Sui depended on each other in the palace, Ming Yao was in charge of the harem at that time, and she had offended Gu Changxuan. She was already neglected, and later she even had to rely on herself for three meals a day.

Except for Zhou Que's occasional help.

At that time, what she and Hua Sui did most was to roast sweet potatoes in the palace.

She hadn't eaten it for a while, so she was craving for it. After taking it from Hua Sui with a smile, Ming Jin gave one to Gu Mingheng.

"Go change your clothes first." She said to Hua Sui.

Hua Sui agreed with a smile and gave the food in his hand to Brother Ying.

Under Ying Ge's stunned gaze, Hua Sui smiled and said to her, "This is for you. I didn't know what you like, so I bought a little bit of everything."

After saying that, before Yingge could react, she slipped straight into the shop and changed her clothes.

Brother Ying just held a pile of food, frowned and looked dazed.

"Why don't you come in and sit down, my dear guests? I'll make you a pot of tea." The female shopkeeper came over and said to Mingjin.

Mingjin glanced at Gu Mingheng.

"Go in?" she asked Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng looked at the roasted sweet potato in her hand and hummed softly. He turned to the female shopkeeper and said, "Please, just get a pot of warm water."

He was afraid that Ming Jin would not be able to sleep after drinking tea at night.

Ming Jin smiled and followed him in.

Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of Brother Ying still outside, staring blankly at the pile of things.

Ming Jin knew her reason, but he didn't tell her. He just said to her, "Let's go in and wait a while."

Ming Jin was about to go in when Ying Ge called him, "You..."

"Ok?"

Mingjin turned around.

Wu Ji saw that they had something to say, so he took Abao in first.

Ying Ge took a look and didn't stop it. She turned her gaze back to Ming Jin. She seemed a little hesitant and didn't know how to start.

She had never said anything like this before.

But after looking at Mingjin for a while.

Holding the heavy things in her hands, she finally bit her lip and looked at Ming Jin and said, "...Can I get an advance on my monthly salary?"

Ming Jin did not hesitate: "Okay."

Ying Ge opened his eyes wide, as if he had not expected this to be so easy.

Ming Jin looked at her and said, "You and your brother both have monthly wages. My head maid gets two taels of silver each month, and there are extra rewards during the New Year. I give your brother one hundred taels of silver each month, and he usually just runs errands. As for you, your job is different from Chunyu and Huasui's, so in addition to the two taels of silver given by the mansion, I will give you an extra five taels of silver."

Brother Ying didn't care much about the money.

Although she had been in the Han area for some time, she had not directly come into contact with the Han people's silver and money, but she knew that the money was not small, and it was even a lot.

She thanked Mingjin: "Thank you very much."

Mingjin said "It's okay".

"I can give you the money anytime, but if you take the money and want to return it to Hua Sui, I advise you not to do so."

"Why?" Brother Ying frowned, puzzled.

Although she did not know the customs of the Han people, she had heard of the principle of paying for goods with money.

Ming Jin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

The evening breeze blew the hair by her ears. Ming Jin smiled and tucked her hair behind her ears, surrounded by the aroma of sweet potatoes.

"Because she'll be sad."

"She likes you very much. She bought things for you because she likes you and A-bao, not because she wants you to pay her back."

No one has ever said such words to Brother Ying.

The first twenty years of her life were spent either learning martial arts or killing. From being beaten as a child to killing people later on, she was a very good killer and the best knife in the hands of the clan leader.

She has had many rewards and experienced many assassination attempts.

She loves her mother.

She learned Chinese from her mother, but no one ever told her this.

What her mother said to her most was -

Alive.

Live well.

"Then what should I do?" Brother Ying asked Ming Jin with a frown.

Ming Jin said to her gently, "You can give me something in return, but don't be in a hurry. You will be together for a very long time in the future. You don't have to rush to give me something in return. You can take your time."

Brother Ying still didn’t understand, but he seemed to understand a little bit.

Under the smiling gaze of the pretty girl, she held the things in her hands and nodded hesitantly.

"Okay, let's go in first."

After Mingjin finished speaking, he walked towards the shop first.

Ying Ge stayed behind and watched Ming Jin leaving, and suddenly thought of what her mother said to her before she died.

"What should my brother Ying do in the future?"

"Mom..."

She murmured hoarsely.

She seemed to know what to do next.
