In December.

Mingrong and Dong Zhiyao's wedding date also arrived.

Ming Jin did not make any judgment on the fact that Ming Rong finally wanted to marry Dong Zhiyao. She had already done what she could.

Mingrong just chose what he wanted to choose.

Only on the wedding day...

Mingjin returned to the Marquis' Mansion one day in advance to send Mingrong off to get married.

The next day, he accompanied Mingrong, Mingsheng and others, followed the wedding procession, and went to Dong's house for a meal.

But this day.

Gu Mingheng did not go to Dong's house.

After having only one meal at the Marquis's Residence, he returned to the Prince's Residence.

In the middle of the month.

The wedding date of Xu Zhaojun and Yuan Yu has also arrived.

Yuan Yu had been looking forward to this marriage for a long time and had arranged it early on. Even the people who came to propose marriage were the best ones.

Gu Mingheng was also among them.

Mingjin also went to Xu's house a day earlier to escort Xu Zhaojun to her marriage.

That night the two of them slept in the same bed and talked a lot.

They have all experienced bad things in the past, and have taken love affairs lightly, just wanting to live their own lives well. They never thought that they would have such an opportunity again in their lives.

Both Xu Zhaojun and Ming Jin cherish this very much.

The day Xu Zhaojun got married.

The sky, which had been cloudy for many days, suddenly cleared up, and even the weather became much warmer. Ming Jin watched her put on a red veil to get married, and watched her being led out of the Xu family step by step by Yuan Yu.

Amid the noisy sounds of gongs and drums and the sounds of crying and laughter, Mingjin was also held by the hand by Gu Mingheng.

They stood together.

Looking at each other.

Then they looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go."

Mingjin said to Gu Mingheng with a smile.

They still have to go to Yuan's house for dinner at night.

As Yuan Yu's good friend, Gu Mingheng naturally had to accompany him today.

The two of them went to Yuan's mansion one after another.

……

Time seemed to pass quickly and the days suddenly became peaceful.

After several marriages in succession, Ming Sheng's marriage was finally settled. What Ming Jin did not expect was that Ming Sheng's final marriage was with Zhang Shouyi.

Mingjin only found out about it later.

It turned out that after the chance encounter in the alley that day, the two actually met twice in private.

Once, Ming Sheng met a blind woman on the road. Fearing that something might happen to her, he stayed with her until her servants came to find her.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

The woman's son was Zhang Shouyi.

For this, Zhang Shouyi was extremely grateful to Ming Sheng, but due to the difference between men and women, he was not in a position to invite him to dinner.

Otherwise, he would have invited Mingsheng to his home for dinner a long time ago.

Another time, Ming Sheng was "humiliated" in the street by a man she had met before.

The man's name was Gao Jin. He was also the son of an official and his status was better than any other man Ming Sheng had met before.

Because Ming Jin was going to marry Gu Ming Heng, the status of the Ming family's children would naturally rise as well.

Although Ming Sheng was born a concubine's daughter, she had always been on good terms with Ming Jin. Moreover, she was born gentle and well-behaved, and she was the daughter of Ming Yuandu, so naturally some wives of officials took a liking to her.

Originally, this man and Ming Sheng got along well and their marriage was almost settled. However, who would have thought that Gao Jin, who looked like a decent man on the surface, was actually a drunkard who loved to brag and bully women.

That day, Gao Jin and a few friends drank too much and boasted that he was familiar with the King of Chang'an.

Naturally, those people didn't believe it.

It was also a coincidence that Ming Sheng happened to be out shopping that day and ran into Gao Jin.

He asked Ming Sheng to invite Ming Jin and Gu Ming Heng to have dinner with them.

How could Ming Sheng agree to such a ridiculous statement?

He refused on the spot.

Gao Jin couldn't bear to lose face in front of his friends, so he wanted to teach Ming Sheng a lesson, and that's when Zhang Shouyi appeared.

He helped Ming Sheng teach the man a lesson and then sent Ming Sheng back home.

A few days later, he invited the most famous matchmaker in the city to come and formally propose to Ming Sheng.

Ming Jin came home specially after knowing Ming Sheng's marriage.

After leaving her grandmother's place, she went straight to Mingsheng's place.

Mingsheng's marriage has been arranged.

Zhang Shouyi's official position was not low, even higher than that of Gao Jin's father. He was also good friends with Gu Mingheng. He only had an old mother at home, and he didn't even have a concubine. Aunt Chen was extremely happy about this marriage.

What Aunt Chen is most worried about is Mingsheng's marriage.

She was afraid that Ming Sheng would not marry well and that she would be bullied after marriage. Now that she saw Ming Sheng could marry Zhang Shouyi and had seen Zhang Shouyi's character, she was naturally very happy.

During this period, she often asked Aunt Xu to work hard for Mingsheng's marriage.

Mingsheng is older than Mingjin. Her marriage to Zhang Shouyi is scheduled for February of next year, and she will get married a month before Mingjin.

It has been just over two months since then.

Although she didn't marry a prince like Mingjin did.

But Zhang Shouyi was also a fourth-rank military general and was in charge of the palace gate, so his status was not low.

Aunt Chen naturally had to take good care of Mingsheng.

She had originally entered the mansion in a sedan chair and didn't even have the chance to wear a bright red wedding dress. Now that her daughter was able to marry a fourth-rank official as his legal wife, she naturally wanted to give her daughter all the things that she had never gotten before.

Ye Xi also specifically pointed out a few mothers to come over and help with Ming Sheng's marriage according to Aunt Chen's instructions.

The whole house was filled with joy.

From the master to the servants, everyone is very motivated.

Seeing Mingjin coming, Aunt Chen, who was busy, immediately smiled and greeted Mingjin.

"The princess is here."

Since Zhou Zhaoru left, Aunt Chen no longer had the pressure of the mistress above her, and she became much bolder and was no longer as timid as before.

When she saw Mingjin, she thanked him profusely.

I just feel that Mingsheng can have such a good marriage, all thanks to the princess.

Ming Jin felt guilty. She didn't feel that she had done anything. She didn't even know that Zhang Shouyi would fall in love with Ming Sheng.

During this period, she actually asked Yixian to help her find out if he had any suitable candidate for Mingsheng's husband.

Yixian did mention Zhang Shouyi.

But before Ming Jin had the chance to tell Ming Sheng, they had already made the decision.

It's fate.

Aunt Chen looked so happy, probably because she was in high spirits. She looked several years younger now, which showed that she was very satisfied with this marriage. I just don't know what Ming Sheng thought.

Ming Sheng happened to hear the noise and came out from behind the curtain. She was obviously very happy to see Ming Jin.

"Sixth sister, you're here!"

Mingyao had done such a thing, and it was only right and moral that she should be removed from the family tree.

This is what happens in the palace.

Mingjin didn't care.

Just like she didn't ask for her own name at the beginning.

Now that her name has been removed, she doesn't feel anything.

As early as when this name was given to someone else, it had nothing to do with her anymore.

Ming Sheng ran over with a smile, happily took Ming Jin's hand, and said to Aunt Chen, "Aunt, let me go in and talk to Sixth Sister."

Aunt Chen naturally agreed with a smile.

"You guys go quickly."

"I'll have someone prepare some cakes for you."

Mingjin nodded to her.

Then Ming Sheng took him into the house to talk.

As soon as Ming Jin sat down, Ming Sheng poured her some tea: "I dried the flowers myself."

She was a little embarrassed: "I learned it from you last time, Sixth sister, you try it." As she said this, she looked at Mingjin with bright eyes.

Looking forward to Mingjin's comments.

Ming Jin took a sip and nodded: "Not bad."

Scented tea can be sour and astringent, but if you add too much honey it can be too sweet. This cup of tea has a moderate taste, just right for her taste.

Ming Sheng heard her say this and laughed happily: "As long as you like it!"

She also picked up the teacup and started drinking.

Ming Jin had just had tea at his grandmother's place, so he wasn't thirsty anymore. He took a sip and put down the tea bowl. He looked at Ming Sheng and said, "You were bullied, why didn't you tell me?"

Ming Sheng listened to her talk about this.

I know that it was the previous incident with Gao Jin that was known by Ming Jin.

She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and whispered, "It's nothing, and Lord Zhang has already taught them a lesson for me, and my grandmother has also reprimanded the Gao family and Gao Jin for me, and they have already apologized to me."

"I'm not angry anymore."

Besides, Gao Jin had offended Sixth Sister and the Prince first, so how could she have the face to complain to Sixth Sister?

Fortunately, I saw Gao Jin's true face early on.

Otherwise, Ming Sheng felt a little scared when she thought about marrying such a person.

But she still didn't want to tell her sixth sister these words.

Sixth sister has a lot to do and is already working hard enough, Ming Sheng doesn't want to trouble her with his own affairs.

Mingjin already knew it in advance.

But I still think Ming Sheng is too good-tempered.

But she was too lazy to say more to Ming Sheng. Ming Sheng was just like that. It would be useless to say more. Anyway, she had already instructed Brother Ying to go back and teach Gao Jin a lesson.

He is not only dishonest in words but also dishonest in actions. Such a person deserves to be taught a lesson.

"Are you happy with this marriage?"

Ming Jin asked Ming Sheng, this was also her real purpose of coming here today.

She wanted to ask Ming Sheng what she thought. If Ming Sheng really didn't want to, she could think of a way for her.

There are some things in life that cannot be compromised, and she doesn't want to see Ming Sheng like in her previous life again.

Ming Sheng didn't speak immediately.

She held the teacup and looked at Ming Jin, her eyes slightly open, a little surprised.

She didn't expect Sixth Sister to ask this.

Since her engagement, no one in the family has ever asked her this. They all say that she is so lucky, even her aunt says so.

She didn't feel anything.

So much so that she was suddenly asked now.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Ming Jin and whispered, "I don't know."

Seeing Ming Jin frowning, Ming Sheng quickly smiled at her gently: "Sixth sister, don't worry about me. Although I don't know, I don't think this is a bad thing."

She held a bowl of tea and drank it slowly. Her voice was soft and pleasant: "I am different from you. I have never had any expectations for marriage, nor have I ever liked anyone. I will marry whoever my family tells me to marry."

"Master Zhang..."

When talking about Zhang Shouyi, Ming Sheng paused for a moment before continuing: "At first, I never thought about getting engaged to him."

"but……"

"Sixth sister, let me show you something!"

Ming Sheng suddenly said.

Then, without waiting for Mingjin's reaction, she got up first.

Ming Jin didn't know what she was going to do. He just watched Ming Sheng get up and walk towards the inner room. He couldn't see what Ming Sheng was doing, but Ming Jin heard the sound of a cabinet door opening.

After a while, Ming Jin saw Ming Sheng coming out holding a small box.

Seeing Ming Sheng push the box in front of her, Ming Jin looked at her in confusion: "What is this?"

Ming Sheng seemed a little embarrassed.

Her little face flushed, but she still opened the box in front of Mingjin.

Ming Jin took a look and saw that the box contained silver bills, land deeds, and deeds to several shops.

Ming Jin initially thought that it was a wedding gift from her family, but when she saw the location of the shops, she felt something was wrong.

Guessing a possibility, Ming Jin looked up and asked Ming Sheng: "Did Lord Zhang give this to you?"

Ming Sheng nodded, but his face turned even redder.

"He asked matchmaker Chen to send it." She sat back down.

"In fact, when he sent me home that day, he asked me this question on the way. I was stunned by the question and didn't answer."

"Then, when matchmaker Chen came to our house, she asked Second Aunt to call me to meet her, and then she gave me this box."

In addition, there was actually a letter written to her by Lord Zhang.

But Ming Sheng was embarrassed to show it to Ming Jin.

In the letter, Mr. Zhang explained that he didn't know how to please her, but he really wanted to marry her. He also said that these things were his private property, and after she married into the family in the future, these things would be under her care.

He also told her his monthly salary.

He said that all his salary in the future would be given to her, and only two taels of silver per month would be used to buy wine.

Ming Sheng doesn't know what it feels like to like someone.

Having been with her aunt since she was little, and having seen how she and her father get along, she actually doesn’t know whether her aunt likes her father or not…

If you like.

But how could my aunt tolerate my father having my mother and Aunt Xu?

If she didn't like him, then why did my aunt always smile and look so admiring every time she faced my father?

She doesn't understand.

She also didn't know what her feelings were towards Lord Zhang.

Like it?

Thinking of her second uncle and second aunt, her sixth sister and the prince, she felt that she was not at that level.

She only knew that she didn't dislike Lord Zhang.

She thought again that there is more than one kind of love between men and women in this world.

In addition to strong feelings, there are also many long-lasting feelings in this world.

Mr. Zhang is a good man and a very responsible person. His mother is also very good. Just based on these two points, Ming Sheng feels that he can marry him.

She didn't have much in mind originally.

"Sixth sister, I can't answer you. I don't know whether I am happy or not, whether I like it or not. But in my heart I am willing to marry Lord Zhang. I want to live a good life with him." In the room bathed in bright sunlight, Ming Jin saw Ming Sheng's face filled with a somewhat shy but bright smile.

Mingjin looked at her for a long time.

In the end, she just closed the box in her hand again, then held Ming Sheng's hand and said gently: "Just choose what you want to choose."

"Zhang Shouyi is a nice guy, his backyard is clean, and his mother doesn't have that many problems."

Otherwise, Yixian would not have been on good terms with him.

I wouldn’t have thought of introducing Zhang Shouyi to Ming Sheng last time.

"There's just one thing. If he bullies you in the future, don't hide it. Tell me and I'll take care of it for you." Afraid that Ming Sheng might hide something, Ming Jin deliberately lowered his voice and said, "If you hide everything and don't want to trouble me, I won't tell you anything in the future."

This "threat" really works.

Ming Sheng's expression changed immediately, and he quickly said that he would not hide it.

Seeing her like this, Mingjin finally felt relieved.

Since Ming Sheng agreed himself, Ming Jin didn't say anything about the marriage.

Zhang Shouyi is also a good one.

Ming Sheng and Zhang Shouyi's marriage was thus settled.

After that, Ming Jin stayed in the princess's mansion for a while and never went out again. As the New Year approached, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it began to snow in Kyoto.

Ruixue is a prosperous year.

The first snow of this year was heavy.

For two consecutive days, the entire Kyoto was shrouded in white, turning into a snowy city.

Mingjin is feeling lazy again.

Every day I stay in the house with a floor heating, either watching the snow or drawing and writing.

Under the hands-on guidance of teacher Gu Mingheng, Mingjin's handwriting is now becoming more and more like his.

However, before the New Year, something happened to Mingjin.

Chen Yi, a minor official from the Ministry of Revenue who had visited her before, suddenly came one day and wanted to ask for Chunyu's hand in marriage.
