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

New Year’s Eve.

Mingjin returned to the marquis's mansion and had a reunion dinner.

A day earlier, she had agreed with Gu Mingheng that she would not go back tonight.

She wanted to stay in the marquis's mansion tonight and sleep with her grandmother.

The reunion dinner has been finished now.

Those who needed to be busy were busy, and those who needed to leave were leaving. Only a few children stayed in Songcuizhai, continuing to talk and chat with Princess Fuhua.

Mingrong is already married.

A married woman will not come back on New Year's Eve.

At this moment, Ming Sheng took Ming Jinghuai and Ming Jingxiao outside to set off firecrackers and watch fireworks, while Ming Jingheng and the others stayed in the house enjoying the snow scenery, drinking tea and talking.

However, the eyes of the Ming Jingheng brothers would from time to time look towards the Luohan bed in the room.

There sat a girl in purple.

——It was Ming Jin.

Mingjin sat with Princess Fuhua on the Luohan bed by the window, watching the fireworks outside.

"You really don't want to go back?"

While peeling an orange, Mingjin heard his grandmother's soft voice.

Know what grandma is thinking.

Sure enough, soon, the grandmother's next words reached Mingjin's ears: "Today is New Year's Eve, don't you want to go out for a walk with Yixian?"

Mingjin is amused.

She stuffed the orange into her grandmother's hand and pretended to be unhappy and said, "I won't go back. I won't go. I've already said that I want to accompany you tonight to welcome the New Year. Why do you always chase me away?"

"I'm not chasing you away."

Princess Fuhua tapped her forehead lightly and said helplessly, "You're talking nonsense again."

"Forget it, you can stay if you want. You can stay as long as you want." After all, she also hoped that her granddaughter could stay with her.

This is also the first time they have spent New Year's Eve together in ten years.

Ming Jin smiled and leaned over. His grandmother fed him an orange slice. Then he leaned on her shoulder and said vaguely, "I told him that he won't go back today. It just so happens that he has to go to the palace today. I don't know when he will come out."

"Let's have dinner together tomorrow."

Princess Fuhua nodded. She was worried that the couple would quarrel, but now she heard that they had discussed it beforehand, she felt relieved.

"Just make your own arrangements."

An Cheng is gone, Prince Ding and Prince Jing have also gone to their fiefdoms. Now there is only the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince in the palace, and it is indeed deserted.

Yixian and Your Majesty have a very close brotherly relationship, so it would be good for him to spend more time with you.

"Xiao Yan'er, come and play mahjong with us!" In the entire Songcuizhai, only Ming Jingting called her that.

The three brothers sat together.

Ming Jingting has always been a thoughtful person, so how could he not notice the look in the eyes of the two brothers beside him as they looked at Yanyan? Since it was New Year's Eve, he naturally hoped that his family could be reunited.

He couldn't bring himself to ask Yanyan to let go of her grudge.

But when his brothers and sisters were sitting together chatting, playing cards and having fun together, he could still shamelessly say this.

He simply took the initiative to speak up, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"I, your second brother, am short of money lately. Come over and win a few rounds."

When Princess Fuhua heard this, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"How can you be a brother like this? You're still thinking about taking money from your sister's pocket. What a shame! If your mother hears this, she will definitely scold you."

"Oh, at worst I can win the money and buy a hairpin for my mother." Ming Jingting laughed heartily, not looking embarrassed at all.

As he said this, he waved at Mingjin.

"Hurry up, don't think I don't know. Grandmother gave you a lot more red than we did. I will make you lose more tonight."

Anyone with a brain would know that Ming Jingting did this on purpose.

Mingjin could naturally see it as well.

She saw the two people sitting next to her second brother, also looking at her.

My grandmother also said at the right time: "Go ahead, don't be afraid of losing. No matter how much you lose, I will give you the money."

Ming Jin didn't have a cold face at this time.

She was not willing to embarrass her grandmother and second brother in such an occasion. She smiled and said, "It's not certain who will win or lose."

"Brother, don't turn around and give me the money you used to marry my second sister-in-law."

Mingjin said this and stood up and walked over.

"Hey, you girl!" Ming Jingting's face felt a little hot.

A while ago, he was dragged out by his mother to meet a girl. The girl was the daughter of the Xu family and also Xu Zhaojun's cousin.

Although the two families have not made their relationship public yet, they are very satisfied with it privately.

I plan to make it official after Ming Jingting's autumn examination next year.

Ming Jingting was also quite satisfied with the girl from the Xu family.

He knew that his cousin was very close to the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and that the Xu sisters were also very close. She must have heard this from the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

He suddenly felt a little itchy and wanted to know what the girl from the Xu family said about him in private.

It's just that I can't say it because of my brother's face.

At this moment, he just coughed lightly and said with a straight face, "I haven't decided yet. If I have to decide, it should be my eldest brother."

Ming Jin just walked over and sat down.

Hearing this, she happened to meet Ming Jingheng's gaze.

She said nothing and sat down.

She had just heard from her grandmother that Ming Jingheng's marriage had been decided.

The one chosen was a girl from the governor of Yingtian Prefecture, who lived in Nanzhili and her name was Shen Wei.

Her ancestor used to be close friends with my grandmother.

The Shen family’s roots are also in Kyoto.

It was just that he went to Nanzhili ten years ago and settled down in Yingtian Prefecture.

Ming Jingheng is the eldest son and grandson, and the next successor to the Anyuan Marquisate. His wife is the future Marquis's wife, so his marriage naturally cannot be handled casually.

This marriage was also decided after careful selection by my grandmother.

Ming Jin was not familiar with Shen Wei and had only heard of her name, but since she was chosen by her grandmother, she must be good.

Now that Ming Yao and Gu Jiarou are gone, and Zhou Zhaoru often lives in the separate courtyard, Ming Jin doesn't have to worry about anything happening to the girl from the Shen family.

She nodded, and when the servant brought her the tea again, she said "Congratulations" to Ming Jingheng.

Just two words made Ming Jingheng unable to control his joy.

The young man smiled and thanked Ming Jin, "Thank you."

But Mingjin didn't say anything else to him.

Just then, I saw Cuiwei leading people to bring leaf cards, so I said, "Let's get started."

Leaf cards is a game suitable for all ages. It is easy to get started and is perfect for killing time.

All four of them had played it before, so there was no need for practice.

But at the beginning, everyone thought that Ming Jin's previous words were just bragging. Ming Jingheng even thought about giving Ming Jin some slack when playing cards, but he didn't expect that the situation on the field was very clear.

Mingjin had a lot of silver and money in front of him, and he was obviously the biggest winner.

At this time, a group of people were gathered around the card table. Even when Ming Sheng came back with his younger brothers, he came over when he saw the situation.

When Gu Mingheng came over in the wind and snow, he saw a group of people gathered together, it was very lively.

At first he was wondering what was going on over there.

I also want to see where Mingjin is.

Then he heard a voice from inside: "Xiao Yan'er, how come you won again!"

It was Ming Jingting who was wailing.

Gu Mingheng raised his eyebrows and guessed what was going on over there.

He smiled.

Stopping the servants from reporting, he took off his cloak and walked in, carrying a food box in his hand.

It was taken out from the palace.

He had seen before that Yanyan liked the pastries made by the Emperor's sister-in-law, so today he specially asked the imperial kitchen to make some and brought them over while they were hot.

"I told you earlier, you have to be careful, I'm very powerful."

Mingjin hasn't played mahjong for a long time.

In the past, when they had nothing to do in Xiu Li Building, they would often play cards. Over time, they finally became proficient in the game.

But later on, few people wanted to play with her.

Now, looking at the pile of silver and money beside her, she just smiled.

Just as I was about to continue sorting the cards, I suddenly heard a familiar laugh from behind me: "You won so much."

Ming Jin paused in his action of sorting the cards.

For a moment she thought that she was hallucinating because she missed Gu Mingheng too much, but the people in front of her all stood up at this moment, and those who had originally surrounded her all dispersed to the sides and bowed respectfully in her direction to greet her.

"Your Majesty."

Gu Mingheng was still holding a lunch box in his hand.

He stood behind Ming Jin, with a gentle and polite smile on his face, and said to the people of the Ming family: "No need to be polite, everyone stand up."

He didn't want to disturb their fun.

Let them play the same way they just did.

Mingjin finally came to his senses at this time. This was true. Gu Mingheng really came!

She stood up in great surprise and turned around. Sure enough, Gu Mingheng was standing behind her, looking at her with his eyes lowered. When she stood up, he smiled and supported her arm to prevent her from falling.

"Slow down."

His tone was gentle, with a doting tone that was unique to Ming Jin.

Ming Jin looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"

After all, it was the first New Year's Eve they spent together, and Ming Jin felt a little regretful that he couldn't welcome the new year with Gu Mingheng.

I thought we would meet tomorrow.

I didn't expect Gu Mingheng to come here at this time.

How could Mingjin not be surprised?

The smile on her face could not be hidden at all, and her already beautiful almond-shaped eyes curved into a crescent shape.

Gu Mingheng looked at the smile on her face and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. He said to Mingjin, "I got some cakes from the emperor's sister-in-law. It's still early, so I came to wish my aunt a happy new year."

But Princess Fuhua is not here at the moment.

Mingjin smiled and said, "Grandma is going to change her clothes. Please sit down first."

Ming Sheng was originally sitting next to Ming Jin, and now he quickly gave up his seat.

Let Gu Mingheng sit here.

I changed my place again.

Gu Mingheng didn't bother to be polite with her. He just thanked Ming Sheng and let them continue playing.

He gave the food box in his hand to Cuiwei.

Then he sat next to Mingjin, thinking about watching her play cards.

Cui took it with a smile and took it aside to sort the pastries.

Everyone is already familiar with it.

I didn't stop playing just because Gu Mingheng came.

This would make Gu Mingheng feel uncomfortable.

It’s better to just stay like this so that everyone can get along naturally.

Ming Jingting even complained to Gu Mingheng, "Your Highness, you don't know how good Xiao Yan'er is. She has never lost since she started playing cards. She has won all of our three brothers' lucky money this year. If she continues playing, I'm afraid she will lose all my private money."

Gu Mingheng was surprised.

He only thought Mingjin won the money, but he didn't expect that she didn't lose a single bet. After looking at Mingjin, he couldn't help but smile and praise her, "You're so amazing."

Mingjin didn't feel embarrassed either.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, and because Gu Mingheng was there, her smile was even brighter.
