Chapter 44: Something Serious

Mingzhu sat in front of the window in a daze, but her thoughts drifted back to Wangjiang Tower a year ago.

When she left from Wangjiang Tower that day, she seemed to see a black wooden carriage parked at the back door of Wangjiang Tower, although she didn't remember whether there was a silver medal hanging in front of the carriage, but Mingzhu had a strong premonition that the owner of the carriage should be the person she was looking for.

It's so much easier to get a clue... What a ghost! Mingzhu hammered a handful of wooden window ridges in annoyance, and was inattentive for a while, the window was fine, and his hand hurt so much. Mingzhu rubbed her somewhat swollen palm, her eyes were spinning, and she was thinking about how to get her father and mother to agree to her going out.

Mingzhu was thinking about it, and suddenly there was a sound of saluting and greeting outside. Mingzhu looked back, and the person who came in with a food box was not his own mother?

The fragrance wafted out through the food box, and the nose of the pearl moved, which was the taste of osmanthus eight-treasure duck and lotus seed soup. Mingzhu hurriedly stepped forward to take the food box and pulled Mrs. Ming to the table and sat down. The little maid was about to come forward to set the meal, and Mingzhu waved her hand to let them go down.

Mingzhu sat down with a smile and pressed Mrs. Ming, took out the food in the food box with her own hands, and before Mrs. Ming could say anything, she diligently sandwiched a whole bowl for her mother. Mrs. Ming looked at her style, with a doting smile on her lips, and shook her head helplessly.

Mingzhu sat down after finishing this pass, staring at the osmanthus duck on the table with two eyes and swallowing his saliva. Mrs. Ming almost laughed, she reached out and pinched Mingzhu's nose: "Eat, this is in your own home, and you don't need to pretend to be a lady, what are you waiting for." ”

Mingzhu stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, but she was really not polite, and she ate extremely sweetly with chopsticks. Mrs. Ming touched her head lovingly: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

Mingzhu's mouth is bulging, and she can't care about talking, her cheeks are propped up, and she looks extremely cute, like a greedy hamster.

Mrs. Ming held the bowl and looked elegant and dignified when she ate, which was simply different from the pearl that was eating Haisai next to her. Mingzhu was a little embarrassed, and the speed of eating slowed down a little bit, and finally learned to chew slowly in small bites by her mother. The meal was quickly finished, and Mrs. Ming sipped the tea in her cup, looking at Mingzhu's eyes flashing, as if she had something to say.

"What do you want to say?" Mrs. Ming blew on the tea leaves gathered in the cup, raised her eyebrows and looked at Mingzhu, who was scratching her ears and cheeks.

Mingzhu smiled "hehe", and the kraft candy rolled in front of Mrs. Ming's knees. Mrs. Ming was so entangled that she couldn't do anything, and joked with a smile: "Little trickster, why can't you tell your mother directly, and you are still doing it so secretively." Mingzhu looked up with a smile and looked at her mother with an innocent smile: "Isn't this afraid that your mother will not agree." ”

"That depends on what you're going to say." Mrs. Ming touched the two bulging buns on her head, and her tone was gentle but with a hint of imperceptible seriousness.

"Mother, you really can't tell my father to let me out." Mingzhu pinched the corner of her clothes and said with some twists.

"Oh?" Mrs. Ming took another sip of tea, but she didn't go over casually as usual, "You said that you want to run out every day, what is it for?" Nothing will be short of you at home, tell your subordinates what you want to eat, and it's not that you are not allowed to eat. ”

"It's lively out there," Mingzhu pouted, shaking her mother's arm absently, "Besides, I'm going out this time to get on business!" It's not like you think you don't do your job and run around all day. ”

"What else can you do?" Mrs. Ming was a little surprised, she looked at Mingzhu, her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Mother!" Mingzhu stomped her feet, looking puffed out.

"Then tell me what you're up to." Mrs. Ming was a little dizzy by her shaking, and hurriedly stopped her and asked.

"Oh, you don't care! Nothing bad is going to happen anyway! And I promise to only go to Wangjiang Tower, and never go anywhere else! Mingzhu held Mrs. Ming's hand and promised, "Go to your own home, what else do you and my father have to worry about." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Ming looked at her with a face full of disbelief, but suddenly remembered something, "What did the Li family kid tell you yesterday?" ”

"Huh?" Mingzhu was a little puzzled, "What?" Is there something you haven't told me? ”

"Yo? Still pretend not to know with your mother? Mrs. Ming laughed, got up and straightened out the somewhat wrinkled skirt, "Forget it, if you don't tell me, I know what you want to see, I'll go and discuss with your father, and let you go out to play." ”

"Really!" Mingzhu jumped up happily, not paying attention to the strangeness of Mrs. Ming's words. "Thank you, mother! Mother, you're so nice! ”

"You know the poor mouth." Mrs. Ming snorted and left with a smile.

A few days later, Mingzhu jumped out of the main gate of the Ming Mansion, followed by Li Wei with a strange face. In the past few days, Mingzhu has eaten well and slept well, Li Wei has been nagged by his father and mother for three whole days, and every day as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his mother standing at the head of his bed with his waist pinched, and he should not have said something to Mingzhu. The problem is that he didn't say anything, how aggrieved he is.

"Are you embarrassed?" Mrs. Li stood cross-legged, carrying a feather duster in her hand, "If it weren't for what you said, how would a simple and cute little girl know how to choose an oiran?!" ”

Recalling the fierce appearance of his old lady before he went out today, Li Ji couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Mingzhu.

Mingzhu didn't notice it at all, and her eyes were full of joy when she looked at everything outside, even if it was no different from before.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Mingzhu urged Li Jiong, looking very anxious.

"Let's go, let's go." Li Wei shook his head helplessly and followed resignedly.

When I almost arrived at the street in front of Wangjiang Tower, there were so many people that it was a little difficult to move around, Mingzhu was a little impatient in the crowd, and turned his head and asked Li Jiong: "Ah Jiong, is there something going on here?" Why so many people? ”

"Huh? You don't know? Li Wei looked at Mingzhu in some surprise, stretched out his hand to block the person in front of him, and protected Mingzhu behind him.

"Know what?" Mingzhu finally got out of the crowded situation, took a breath, and complained a little, "I'm almost squeezed!" ”

"More than a dozen Qinglou Chu Pavilions on Fengxian Street are choosing Oiran in Wangjiang Tower today, aren't you making a fuss to come to Wangjiang Tower to see this excitement?" Li Wei looked at Mingzhu with a strange expression.

"Choosing an Oiran?" Mingzhu's eyes lit up, "And this good thing?!" Then I really didn't come in vain! ”

"Huh?!" Li Yan's face darkened a little, but Mingzhu was still talking behind him.

"Ah Jiong, do you say that my luck is really good, my father and mother finally agreed to let me out, and I encountered such a lively thing..."

When he finally walked to a place where there were a few fewer people, Li Wei pulled Mingzhu from behind him to the front, looked up and down, and was relieved to see that there was no bump: "So, you really didn't know about the selection of the Oiran before you came out?" ”

"I don't know," Mingzhu was a little puzzled, "Didn't I say I had something serious..."

Mingzhu seemed to react suddenly, and kicked Li Yan's calf with some anger: "Ah Jiong, you don't believe me!" ”

Li Wei didn't hide, and asked her good-naturedly: "Then what are you talking about?" ”

Mingzhu turned her head arrogantly, walked in the direction of Wangjiang Tower with her hands behind her back, and said "I won't tell you." ”
