Chapter Twenty-Five: Late Night
"Who gave you the name?!" Mingmei almost wanted to scold.
The "shopkeeper" boy was a little resigned.
Mingmei took a deep breath and reached out to rub the boy's very dirty hair, "That's it." After you follow me, I will give you a name. ”
"Let's call you Hoshihiko. Shen Xingyan. ”
Xingyan was stunned, although he didn't know what the name was for, but it was obvious that Xingyan sounded much better than a dog.
Mingmei pulled him and said to Mingyin, "Yinyin, let's go home." On the way, I will buy some things for Hoshihiko. ”
Ming Yin answered, and went out to find a carriage.
Mingmei took Xingyan's hand, got into the carriage, and threw a handkerchief to Xingyan, "Wipe those messy tears on your face." ”
"Boy, don't cry at every turn."
"I don't like it."
Xingyan lowered his head and obediently wiped away the tears from his face.
Along the way, Mingmei asked him many questions. Only then did he know that he was an orphan rescued by the shopkeeper two days ago, and he was given a cheap name by the shopkeeper, saying that it was a cheap name to feed.
However, in the past two days, the shopkeeper has been upset that Fumanlou on the other side has robbed the business, so he didn't care about him.
So he still looks like a wandering orphan.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, and wait, when Mingmei returned to the Ming Mansion, it was already a little night.
Mingmei got out of the car with Xingyan, and saw Uncle Li, the housekeeper of the Ming Mansion, guarding in front of the door, and Mingmei asked Mingyin to take Xingyan in first.
"Uncle Li is waiting here, is my father looking for me for something?"
Uncle Li saluted to Mingmei, "Xiangye is waiting for the eldest lady in the study." ”
"Hmm. I know. Mingmei nodded at Uncle Li, "Please also ask Uncle Li to inform my father that I will go and freshen up, change my clothes and go over." ”
When Mingmei returned to the room, Mingyin had already changed Xingyan's clothes.
Mingmei pursed her lips, well, this kid looks good.
It was in vain that she gave him the name Hoshihiko.
"Hmm," Mingmei thought for a while, "I'll find you a teacher tomorrow, and you can learn martial arts from him first." Literacy or something, I'll teach you. ”
"Uh" Mingmei looked at Mingyin, and then at Xingyan, "You can follow Yinyin to call me Miss, or you can call me sister directly." ”
"Sister," Xingyan shouted slightly.
Mingmei blinked and nodded in response.
Turning around, Mingyin took Xingyan to live in the side room, and Mingmei changed herself into a goose yellow dress.
What is Mingyi looking for her to do this big night?
"Father." Mingmei knocked on the door outside the study.
"Come in." Mingyi responded.
Mingmei walked in and saluted Mingyifu, "Is there anything urgent for my father to find Mei'er?" ”
Mingyi looked at Mingmei, seemed to be a little hesitant, and stretched out his hand to let Mingmei sit down. "Half a month from now, it's the day of the draft. According to the emperor's intentions, my Ming Mansion will definitely be you and Hua'er entering the palace. ”
Mingmei sat down and looked at Mingyi indifferently, "What does father mean?" ”
"I know you're smart, and I don't have to bother with you."
"You must know why I am obedient to you in the Ming Mansion, and why I spoil you so much.
Mingmei nodded slightly, "I probably know." ”
Mingyi paused slightly, and finally pursed his lips and confessed to Mingmei: "Yongchenxuan killed my only son, and the Yong clan watched my only son die." I endured him and obeyed him, just so that one day I could turn against him, destroy the Yong clan, and avenge my son Mingfeng! ”
Mingyi's feelings were a little excessive, and after saying this, he slowed down for a while before continuing, "But Yongchenxuan has always been on guard against me, and he has been staring at my mistakes all the time, I really have no way to take you back." ”
Mingmei poured herself a cup of tea, looked at Mingyi calmly, and motioned for him to continue.
"I don't want Qi'er and Hua'er to take risks."
Mingmei paused slightly, and then nodded in understanding.
Mingyi: "I need you to go to Yongchenxuan's side and keep an eye on him for me." ”
Mingmei held the already cooled cup and looked at Mingyi with a smile.
Mingyi's face froze, avoiding Mingying's gaze.
"I need you to give me the palace defense map and the changing of the guard record."
Lightly hooked her lips, Mingmei put the teacup in her hand on the table.
"You've already calculated, I'll agree." Affirmative sentences.
"Yes." Mingyi doesn't deny it either. From the first day when Mingmei entered the Ming Mansion and resolved a disaster for him, Mingyi learned that she Mingmei was actually a good child with clear grievances and kindness.
It is precisely because of this point that Mingyi will follow Mingmei in everything and protect Mingmei in everything. Because he understands very well that no matter whether what he does is really useful to Mingmei, as long as he does it, Mingmei will reciprocate.
This is the reason why Mingyi dares to be honest with Mingmei today, and he is not worried that Mingmei will reveal the news to Yongchenxuan.
"As for painting, she has liked Yong Fengyan since she was a child, if you can help her, you will fulfill this wish for her."
Mingmei hooked her lips and smiled, and her eyes were full of undisguised irony at the moment.
"Ming Xiang thinks that this qiē you have done is worthy of Miss Ben to be a fine work and a matchmaker?"
As soon as Mingyi wanted to speak, he saw Mingmei raise his eyes to look at him, clear to the bottom, and when he looked at the past, it was a clear mockery, clear and cold.
"First, you take Taishi Liu to Yun Yaoran to support me. Miss Ben has already returned this one. Because no matter how many things I have to pick out every day that contain toxins in your Ming Mansion, and how many things that will form toxins when mixed together, I have never fought back against your daughters. Otherwise, you will definitely lose more than Mingfeng more than one year ago. ”
"Second, although Ming Xiang said that I can be the master of everyone in this Ming Mansion, Miss Ben did not take away the power of Ming Qi's family, and she did not disobey Ming Xiang, three. He also gave you all the gold and silver given by the emperor. ”
"This one, you will return your so-called favor."
"Third, when the emperor came to the Ming Mansion to ask me about the guilt, the Ming minister spoke for me."
"This one, Miss Ben has already used words to save you from Yongchenxuan's condemnation of you."
"As for the last one."
Mingmei stood up and slowly approached Mingyi.
"When the two grandmothers made Miss Ben upset, you taught them a hard lesson for Miss Ben."
"Only this one, you are sincere, and only this one is worthy of Miss Ben taking the risk to lurk beside Yongchenxuan."
Mingmei waved her sleeves, raised her chin and looked at Mingyi, "Mingxiang can think about it, what else does Miss Ben owe you." ”
"You. By what request. Miss Ben will get you the records of the arming and changing of the guard in the palace. ”
"What qualifications do you have, Miss Ben will make up a pair of Ming Painting and Yong Fengyan!"
