Chapter 37: The Pearl of Confinement

The more he thought about it after Li Yan left, the more he couldn't feel at ease, the words that Wu Ma Qinyang said knocked on his heart like a talisman, according to that kid's temperament of not thinking about it, it was definitely not as simple as making a suggestion, maybe he also gave Fengyu aphrodisiac and other bad seductive things.

Mingzhu has been bored in recent days, although she has recovered completely, her mother and father still don't allow her to go out, and even the brother of the Li family next door who often takes her out to play over the wall is also banned on the door, and she feels a stomachache when she goes out. She huffed and fell on the bed, thinking about how she was going to sneak out to playβ€”she had been in the house for almost a month, and she was suffocating.

It was very lively outside, and Mingzhu listened to her little maid running around outside the room, and after being busy, she was so envious that tears were about to flow out of her mouth. The palace wants to buy a batch of cloth jewelry, and she also knows the virtue of her father, and she doesn't make a bastard if she is rich. I don't know why it's obviously a race that doesn't match the profiteers at all, but after more than ten years in the world, the profiteer's hat is buttoned to death. The current Da Wei, when it comes to the master of the Ming family, no one is allowed to pinch his nose and scold: "The world's largest profiteer!" ”

Scolding and scolding, the things out of the Ming family are really easy to use, Master Ming is used to the business of selling at a high price in a place at a low price, unlike others, he doesn't lower the price much when he collects it, and when he sells it, he really dares to ask for dozens of hundreds of taels of silver more than the same kind of sellers next to him. Who makes people have good eyesight, and the things that can be harvested are of high quality. This is also the ability that others can't envy, after all, this meal is not something that anyone can eat, the human race has a wonderful saying, a radish and a pit, without that diamond diamond, you can't do that porcelain work.

Mingzhu leaned on the window and watched his father's eyebrows flutter and command the little servants in the family to carry the big wooden boxes half a person high one by one, blinking, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't seem to think about anything. A few little maids chirped past the window, and Mingzhu heard them chatting about all kinds of small things that had happened in the Beijing city well recently, which was particularly interesting to listen to.

"Eh, have you heard? The emperor seems to be choosing a concubine. The round-faced little maid mysteriously lowered her voice and approached the little sister as she spoke, looking around left and right for fear that someone would eavesdrop.

"I've heard it a long time ago, this kind of thing hasn't always been a scramble for those young ladies, and our identity will be a lively life." The long-faced maid pouted, looking uninterested.

"It seems to be different this time," the little maid's voice was lowered, and it sounded like a mosquito humming, "I heard the big bull brother next door to me say that this draft will be selected in the capital, and" Speaking of this, the little maid looked around again to make sure that no one was eavesdropping. ”

"No matter how informal, it's not something we can think of with this kind of identity," the long-faced maid pouted, "I told you about those domineering princes and pretty maids, don't read the book anymore," she stretched out her hand and nodded the little sister's head, "It's easy to dream if you see too much." ”

The round-faced little girl rubbed the corner of her forehead that was poked by her, stuck out her tongue, picked up the small flower pot in front of her and chased after her: "Hey, you wait for me!" ”

In the distance, there was a gradually lighter "hurry up", and the footsteps clicked, small and urgent, and when the footsteps were so far away that they could not be heard, Mingzhu poked his head out of the window again.

"Draft?" Mingzhu touched her chin and muttered to herself full of interest, "Sounds like a funny thing." ”

There was a coughing sound from behind, Mingzhu was startled, and turned her head to look, behind her was a little old man with a twisted beard and pretending to be serious. The little old man made a thoughtful look of shaking his head and shaking his head, and his eyes were as bright as morning stars in the night, shining with a cunning light. Mingzhu was first bluffed, and then even laughed out loud when she watched the little old man's movements. The little old man turned around a little dejectedly, and spread his hands at the empty place over there: "Look, I just said it won't work." Even if you deceive people, isn't it too much to deceive sharks? ”

"It's not because of your food." The originally empty place suddenly fluctuated slowly, and a figure gradually appeared from there, and the voice was Mingzhu's familiar arrears.

"Your friend?" Mingzhu tilted his head to look at the little old man who was grinning and tearing off the fake beard sticking to his face, and turned his head to ask Li Jiong.

Li Wei had already sat down and poured himself a cup of tea very consciously, and the freshly baked snacks on the table did not dodge, and the action of choking so fast that he desperately poured water was so proficient that he seemed to be at home.

"Don't talk nonsense," finally swallowed the snack in his mouth and gasped, Li Wei waved his hand and denied it as if he was hiding from a plague god, and looked at the person who looked a little delicate after taking off his beard, his eyes were full of disgust, "Whoever wants to be friends with him may be thrown to the sacrificial tower by him one day." ”

"Hey! How do you speak? Wu Ma Qinyang raised his head unconvinced, "Did you see me taking the living sacrifice tower?" ”

"Not necessarily, but there are," Li Wei nodded, ignoring the man's next thunderous jump, and turned to Mingzhu and said, "This is the magic stick I told you before." ”

"You're a god, your whole family is a god!" Wu Ma Qinyang jumped to his feet and yelled at Li Ji angrily.

Li Wei looked at him and kindly added: "Oh yes, now I'm being the national teacher of Na Laoshizi." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mingzhu's expression changed slightly, and Wu Ma Qinyang obviously felt that there was a trace of disgust in the little girl's eyes. After all, in the world where such a monk lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests far away from the world, he, a monk who cultivates the pure path, takes the initiative to jump out and be contaminated with red dust, no matter how he thinks about it, it is a little unreasonable, as if he is so poor that he has begun to covet the gold, silver and jewelry of mortals.

Mingzhu came down from the soft collapse by the window, the sound of the soft-soled embroidered shoes on the ground was almost inaudible, and the little girl jumped up and down to the table and sat down, revealing an evil smile that was the same as Li Ji's: "What, our great master is here to collect demons?" ”

"How dare I do that." Wu Ma Qinyang rubbed his hands and smiled and came over, "I told you that you don't know what this guy is like," he pointed to Li Ji, who was sitting quietly nibbling on snacks for many years, and stretched out his hand to geek, "Good guy has such a big mouth..."

Li Wei poked Wu Ma Qinyang's waist with his elbow, and threw a murderous look, Wu Ma Qinyang obediently shut up, sat down on the edge of the table, and looked like an angry little daughter-in-law, Mingzhu laughed.
