Mingjin hasn't heard this name for a long time.
In her memory, the gentle woman who always held her in her arms, sang nursery rhymes to her and put her to sleep, and who loved her even more than Zhou Zhaoru, she has almost forgotten what she looked like.
It’s been a lifetime, more than ten years.
She really could hardly remember her.
But even if it is just an illusory shadow, it is gentle and tempting, like a palm-leaf fan in summer and a stove in winter.
Mother Pei is just like that to her.
After she came back from her previous life, she did not see her wet nurse.
It is known that shortly after she disappeared, she left the Marquis' Mansion and returned home because she was dissatisfied with Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yuandu mistaking Ming Yao for her.
When she was in the Marquis' Mansion, she did not dare to ask for her to come back. She was also afraid that the wet nurse would be sad when she came back and saw her appearance. She also quarreled with Zhou Zhaoru and others. She could only send someone to send money to support the wet nurse in private, but she dared not do anything else.
Later she married Gu Changxuan.
After gaining a foothold in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, he thought about bringing the wet nurse to his side.
But the wet nurse's health was not very good at that time, and her situation was not good either, so she had to give up.
When her wet nurse died, she was still a hostage in Tatar.
When she finally came back, the only place she could pay her respects was her wet nurse's grave.
Mingjin originally thought about waiting for her grandmother to come back and then tell her about this. Her grandmother always loved her and would definitely agree.
I didn't expect Mother Cui to suddenly mention the wet nurse.
Ming Jin was only surprised for a moment, then he understood what was going on.
"But what did Mommy say to Mother?"
Mother Cui was slightly startled, but it only lasted for a moment before she started to laugh: "I really can't hide anything from you."
"It was indeed the old servant and Madam who suggested that you ask Madam Pei to come back and assist you."
"The maids in your yard are too young. I was afraid they couldn't handle the situation, so I thought of Madam Pei."
She didn't know what Mingjin was thinking.
"I was unable to discuss this matter with you in advance because I was afraid that something might happen to Mother Pei and it would be difficult for her to come. If I told you in advance, you would be disappointed. I thought I would investigate this matter in advance and then tell you."
"Don't blame me for being nosy."
"How could I blame my mother?" Ming Jin held Cui's mother's hand and said, "I can't thank you enough!"
"In this family, my mother is the one who protects me the most. I know you have spoken for me several times."
"And this time about Mother Pei."
"If mom didn't really care about me, why would she think so much about me?"
Mother Cui's heart softened by what Mingjin said, and when she looked at Mingjin, the smile on her face became more and more loving.
But she didn't dare to take the credit for it herself, so she said on behalf of Zhou Zhaoru: "It's because Madam loves you, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do it."
Mingjin did not comment on this.
She didn't say much, and didn't want to make Mother Cui worry, so she just changed the subject and asked, "Mom, tell me about Mother Pei's situation first. Is she okay now? Is she... willing to come back?"
Ming Jin asked the last sentence with some hesitation.
She didn't know what the wet nurse was thinking.
They had never met when she was alive in her previous life.
Ming Jin only knew from other people that her two children were obedient and filial. Her daughter was married, and her son got married a few years ago and had a son and a daughter. Although the family lived in poverty, they were very happy.
Mingjin wasn't sure whether the wet nurse would still be willing to come back and be with her under such circumstances.
Mother Cui didn't even think about it and immediately replied: "Of course I am willing!"
She smiled and said to Mingjin, "When the person I sent saw Mother Pei and told her about this, she burst into tears of joy and kept saying that the Bodhisattva had blessed you and that she knew you would be fine. She didn't even think twice and was about to pack up and follow them back."
"It's just unfortunate that Mother Pei's granddaughter has caught a cold recently, and her son has gone to work in town. Her wife can't handle it alone, so she agreed to come back to serve you at the end of the month when her son comes back."
Mother Cui originally wanted to ask Mingjin what she thought, but when she saw her eyes were so bright and shining, she knew there was no need to ask.
She smiled and said, "Then it's settled. At the end of the month, I'll send someone to bring Mother Pei back."
Mingjin quickly agreed and said yes with a smile.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Mom, tell me when the time comes, and I'll go pick up Mom Pei myself."
"This……"
Mother Cui looked hesitant.
But thinking about the mother-daughter relationship between them, I didn't say anything.
She nodded in agreement.
"Before you go, I will tell you in advance."
Mingjin smiled and said yes.
She had rarely been so happy since she woke up, but at this moment she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
Hua Sui found it in advance.
Grandma will be back soon.
Now even the wet nurse is coming back soon.
Even Ming Jin found it hard not to be moved at this moment. Her eyes were smiling, her brows were relaxed, and her face was full of life.
Seeing her like this, Mother Cui was naturally happy.
As Zhou Zhaoru's right-hand man, she naturally couldn't stay with Mingjin all the time. After saying everything she needed to say, she was ready to leave.
She said goodbye to Mingjin.
Mingjin personally sent the person out.
Because of this news, Ming Jin was very happy the whole day, and at night he went to Zhou Zhaoru's place for dinner without any rejection.
Ming Yuandu did not come back today, saying that he had official business to attend to. So only she, Zhou Zhaoru, and Ming Yao sat together for dinner.
While eating.
Zhou Zhaoru said to Mingjin: "Your aunt sent an invitation today."
That day, after Ming Jingheng told a few friends about Ming Jin's return, the news spread quickly and now almost the entire capital knew about her return.
In the past few days, not only did the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion send invitations, but other families also sent many invitations for viewing flowers and drinking tea to our home.
Overtly or covertly, he just wanted to meet Yanyan.
Zhou Zhaoru originally planned to wait until August 23, Mingjin's birthday, to introduce her to everyone.
Now I can’t wait any longer.
So she could only accept the invitation from the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion and take Mingjin out for a walk first, so as to avoid her sister-in-law from spreading nonsense outside.
"She said she knew you were back and asked me to take you home for dinner."
Mingjin said nothing about it.
The so-called aunt Zhou Zhaoru mentioned is the current Lady Feng, the Marquis of Qingyuan.
Zhou Zhaoru looked down on his brother, thinking he was a playboy and incompetent, and he disliked his shrewd and calculating sister-in-law even more.
Therefore, when she spoke at this time, her tone was also light and she did not seem very happy.
But no matter what, there are only a few of her family members still alive. Even if she looks down on or dislikes them, she can't really cut off ties with them.
"No need to get up early. We'll go there at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow and come back after lunch."
After Zhou Zhaoru finished speaking, fearing that Mingjin might worry, he smiled and comforted her: "It's just a family dinner, don't be afraid."
Mingjin naturally wouldn't be afraid.
She had no good feelings towards the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion. Her nominal uncle was a notorious prodigal son who had squandered all the fortune built by her grandfather, and even ruined the Zhou family's reputation.
As for her aunt, there is even less to say.
It is typical that everyone in the world is busy seeking profit. When there is profit to be gained, she is more attentive and polite than anyone else, but when there is no profit to be gained, she changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
Mingjin had once unfortunately encountered such treatment, and the memory of it is still vivid in his mind.
However, the Ming family members are nothing to her, let alone these outsiders.
"it is good."
She agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that she agreed without any hesitation and without any fear on her face, Zhou Zhaoru naturally felt even happier for his daughter.
It is better for people to be generous.
Especially for a family like theirs, if they are hesitant in doing anything, even if nothing is wrong, others will still gossip about it.
Now that it’s like this, let’s see how others dare to comment!
Zhou Zhaoru happily picked up some more dishes for Mingjin.
Zhou Zhaoru glanced at Mingyao, who had been silent beside him, and saw that she was obviously much thinner than before.
Although the palms and backs of the hands are made of flesh, there is always a difference in depth.
Knowing that she had been neglected these days, Zhou Zhaoru still felt sorry for her, so he picked up a piece of her favorite dish for her with his chopsticks.
Mingyao looked up in surprise.
When she met Zhou Zhaoru's eyes, her eyes became warm again, and she said to Zhou Zhaoru: "Thank you, mother."
Zhou Zhaoru looked at her lovingly and said, "Eat more. I see you've lost a lot of weight recently."
As she spoke, she glanced at Ming Jin beside her. Seeing that she was not jealous or unhappy, Zhou Zhaoru felt more relieved.
She turned around and said to Mingyao again: "Yaoyao, you don't have to go with us tomorrow. I will take Yanyan to meet some people and then come back."
When Mingyao heard this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
