Mochizuki Tower is in the east of the city, which is a bit remote, but it requires a large open space to set off fireworks, and it is indeed an excellent place to watch fireworks upstairs. The Mochizuki Tower has two floors, but the floor height is much higher than that of an ordinary attic, and the location of the second floor is not lower than that of an ordinary three-story building, with a curved grandstand sticking outward, and half of the grandstand has a sheltered roof.

The Cheng family naturally not only invited the Zhu family, but also Chen Rou's cousin, the ladies of the Li family, the ladies of the Lin Tongzhi family, and the Zhang Hanlin family after the Zhishi, all of whom came, and all of them were young ladies in the boudoir, but in this way, only the Zhu family's official position was the lowest.

Zhu Mingyu looked at it, and felt that Cheng Shuang really gave himself face, there were few girls in the Cheng family, but only five of them came, and the other families were basically three people. And if she hadn't been there, it would have been really difficult for her to take on Miss Zhang's words just now.

Zhang Yingxue is one year younger than Zhu Mingyu, born in the capital, and returned to Fancheng at the end of last year, she and Zhu Mingyu met in the capital, and there was some contact between the two, so she took the lead in greeting Zhu Mingyu: "I'm still thinking about who it is, such a big style, come out and take it, let me calculate, there must be ten maids, it turns out to be Miss Zhu, then it's not strange." But listening to this tone is not good.

Because the location on the second floor of Wangyue Tower is limited, Zhu Mingyu and the others each brought a maid up, but Kong Jiayi's maid made Zhu Mingyu change to Muxiang, and Zhang Yingxue counted Zhu Mingxiu and them as her maids.

Although Zhu Mingxiu had never seen Zhang Yingxue, she also heard that this Miss Zhang seemed to hate Zhu Mingyu very much, although she didn't like Zhu Mingyu either, but she couldn't tolerate someone who counted her as Zhu Mingyu's maid, and she had to reason with her when she arrived.

However, Cheng Shuang grabbed Zhang Yingxue first, and said with a smile: "Yingxue, I didn't expect you and Mingyu to be old acquaintances, come, I'll introduce her sisters." Then he didn't look at Zhang Yingxue's face, and took her to meet several other people in the Zhu family and Kong Jiayi.

You can find trouble with Zhu Mingyu, but you can't help but give Cheng Shuang face, Zhang Yingxue is not a fool, so she got off the donkey down the slope, and quickly changed her smiling face to greet Zhu Mingxiu and a few people, and apologized to a few people for what they just said.

Zhu Mingxiu was still a little angry, but she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, Zhang Yingxue said so, and she couldn't hold on to it, but her face could still be seen to be a little stiff. Zhu Mingcan has always been calm, although she also thinks that this Miss Zhang is too rude, but she also thinks that it probably has something to do with the eldest sister, and she also understands it a little.

Zhu Mingyao's ability to come out was all up to Zhu Mingyu, otherwise how could she have a chance to come as a concubine, but she would never lose her temper, otherwise the Qin family would definitely not let her come out next time. Zhang Yingxue was very polite, but Zhu Mingyao was more sincere than her smile, and for a while, the atmosphere eased up.

Kong Jiayi was a little gloating, smiled at Zhang Yingxue, and said, "Sister Zhang and my eldest cousin's tempers are very similar. ”

This sounds like a politeness, but it is more like a sarcasm that both of them are equally domineering and willful, and they don't know how to advance or retreat.

Zhang Yingxue wanted to refute a few words, but then smiled again, who can get along with Zhu Mingyu? But for some reason, Cheng Shuang looked at her very differently.

Because she saw that there was a gap between Kong Jiayi and Zhu Mingyu, Zhang Yingxue had some unusual closeness to Kong Jiayi. Kong Jiayi also called Zhang Yingxue's sister and sister enthusiastic in order to make Zhu Mingyu unhappy.

Zhu Mingyu was a little disdainful of Kong Jiayi's performance, she really thought that Zhang Yingxue was close to her, and she didn't know if she was sold, where would she be good at arguing with the original Miss Zhu.

This episode did not affect the interest of the ladies in watching the fireworks, the fireworks exploded in the air, bursting into clusters of sparks, which was indeed very beautiful, although it was only for a moment, it still provoked the ladies to cover their mouths and exclaim.

However, for Zhu Mingyu, who is accustomed to seeing more gorgeous fireworks in modern times, these short-lived and beautiful fireworks did not make her feel so amazing. She glanced at Cheng Shuang, who was also not very enthusiastic about standing on the side with her, and said in a low voice: "Thanks to you just now." ”

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "What's polite." ”

"Yes, it's me who is more polite." Zhu Mingyu also smiled.

Cheng Shuang said it himself: "I believe you won't be like her, but you are a guest I invited, how can I embarrass you." ”

"To tell you the truth, we were a little unhappy in the capital because of grabbing a piece of jewelry, but now I can't remember what I'm fighting with her, I'm afraid she doesn't remember it, but she remembers the contradiction between me and her." Zhu Mingyu sighed, "Just like these fireworks, what we remember is probably their beauty, but the people who set off the fireworks probably only experience the smell of saltpeter sulfur." ”

Cheng Shuangding glanced at Zhu Mingyu before saying, "You are indeed different from them, I didn't misunderstand you." ”

Zhu Mingyu smiled and said, "Where did I get into Miss Cheng Er's eyes?" ”

"It's actually very simple, you didn't break your promise."

Zhu Mingyu thought about it for a while, and understood that what she was referring to must be the fact that she helped Chen Rou get a prescription according to her words, and her smile became even brighter: "I knew that I would send some more medicinal materials to Sister Chen." ”

Although he knew that she was joking, Cheng Shuang still said seriously: "This is enough." ”

A huge firework exploded outside, and there was cheering in the Mochizuki Tower. Cheng Shuang is not like a little girl of this age, but is a little mature beyond her actual age, and it is much easier to talk to her. Zhu Mingyu didn't say anything more, looked at the fireworks seriously, and felt that the simple fireworks were better.

"Miss," followed Zhu Mingyu on the hibiscus, she suddenly came over and whispered to Zhu Mingyu, "I see that the wood fragrance is gone." She was a little annoyed, she had been paying attention to the wood fragrance, but as soon as she looked at the fireworks in a blink of an eye, she was gone, there must be some ulterior secret.

When Zhu Mingyu heard this, he looked around and found that not to mention the wood fragrance, Kong Jiayi was gone.

Cheng Shuang also saw that Zhu Mingyu's eyes sank, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"My cousin and maid seem to have gone downstairs, I'll go out and have a look."

"You go down to find Mama Zhao, she is my mother's person, don't worry, she may see that there are many people above, just go down and take a look." Cheng Shuang comforted.

However, Zhu Mingyu is not so optimistic, Kong Jiayi is not surprised that she left, but Mu Xiang followed her without saying a word, which is a bit strange.

Zhu Mingxiu saw that Zhu Mingyu was going down with hibiscus, so he paused and walked over quickly, and said to Zhu Mingyu: "Eldest sister, I saw Cousin Jiayi and Zhang Yingxue going down together. ”

Seeing Zhu Mingyu frowning, Zhu Mingxiu hurriedly explained: "It's not that I didn't stop it, Jiayi said that she wanted to go down to breathe, and Muxiang's girl also said that she wanted to talk to you before going, and she was laughed at by Zhang Yingxue, saying that Jiayi couldn't even tell a maid, and she still had to listen to your ......."

The next thing, no need for Zhu Mingxiu to say that Zhu Mingyu also understood, it must be Kong Jiayi who couldn't help but be excited, and was about to go down after listening to Zhang Yingxue's words, the fireworks were loud just now, and Mu Xiang must have no choice but to follow first.

Mu Hibiscus followed Zhu Mingyu downstairs and muttered beside her: "There must be something wrong with that Mu Xiang, I don't think she looks like a maid." ”

This is true, but Zhu Mingyu did not doubt Mu Xiang, it was not an inference, it was just intuition, if she believed it, then she firmly believed it.
