235 Goodbye Old Man
A few families are happy and a few are worried, but Lu Mingfeng has no worries, and Gong Jue is far away in the palace of the capital of the Great Calendar.
Now the Great Calendar, all supported by Prince Jing, in the past seven years, two consecutive years of famine, so that the treasury has no income, but more subsidies.
Prince Jing and Chu Guo don't know what to say, Chu State retreated, and all the people are grateful to him, but now he is not like a puppet who has been erected.
If Lu Mingfeng saw such a Gong Jueyi, he would definitely be surprised, a handsome man who used to be able to even hook his lips and smile can make people feel like a spring breeze, but now he has become like this.
Long beard, cloudy eyes, borrowing wine all day long to drown sorrows, unkempt, the court is also handled by Prince Jing, the regent he personally appointed to handle government affairs, all day long, I don't know what to say.
At the same time, Prince Jing's reputation is also spread far and wide. Lu Mingfeng, sitting in the carriage, was surrounded by six tall and heroic women in black brocade clothes, on the four-horse carriage, in the wide carriage painted with gold and color, Agarwood knelt on the cushion on the side to take care of Sister Nuo.
Lu Mingfeng leaned in the carriage with his eyes closed and rested on the wall of the car treated with cotton, which had the feeling of a modern sofa.
The dark purple gauze curtain was gently lifted by the wind, and a faint sky light overflowed. In March, the sun is slightly drunk, it is a good time to go out to play, just left the Yun Clan, Sister Nuo'er is still high-spirited, full of good spirits, but Lu Mingfeng is a little tired, showing a little sleepiness.
In the past seven years, Lu Mingfeng will also come out and walk around from time to time in order to remember the affairs of the firm, and now whether it is Dali or Chu State, her industry is all over the place, and she has purchased houses everywhere, all of which are big mansions, prosperous in location, and luxurious.
Ming Kee Trading House is also famous, at first because of the good name of Fuxing Building, gradually more and more people know about it, and Ming Kee is also rising.
Along the way, she stopped and stopped, sometimes resting in the flowery valley, sometimes stopping and watching beside the rushing river of the Nu River.
On this trip, because Lu Mingfeng was not worried about Sister Nuo'er's safety, he brought a total of twelve Ming Guards, five hundred secret guards, Ming Wei followed with him, and five hundred secret guards lurked to observe.
But on the bright side, this pomp and circumstance caused an uproar everywhere he passed.
The reputation of the Ming Kee owner is also getting worse and worse, and no one knows who it is, and this person who has never shown his face in front of the world is even more curious.
The team went to Dali unhurriedly, and Lu Mingfeng rarely stayed by Sister Nuo'er's side.
"This is wrong, it should be written like this."
Lu Mingfeng took out rice paper from the small cabinet made on the carriage and demonstrated it to Sister Nuo with charcoal, and Sister Nuo nodded thoughtfully.
Agarwood looked at it with a blank face, what are the messy symbols on the paper, she can't understand it at all.
It's no wonder she can't understand it, if she understands it, it will make people scared, after all, this is modern English, if Agarwood knows, Lu Mingfeng is afraid that he won't be able to sleep tonight.
The two mothers and daughters were enthusiastically discussing the things that Agarwood didn't understand, what codes, what symbols......
Lu Mingfeng handed over Sister Nuo'er English, just to use this method as a password for the mother and daughter to contact, in case something happened one day, the two could not be contacted, although Sister Nuo felt a little difficult, but she still studied very seriously, which made Lu Mingfeng very happy.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, as if something was blocking the road.
The groom at the door asked, "Madam, there are crowds of people blocking the way."
Crowds of people in the way? What is the situation, Lu Mingfeng snorted, and before she could speak, she had already returned, and her voice came in: "Madam, it is Prince Da Lijing who returned to Beijing and won the battle, and the people welcomed him."
Gong Xuanchi? Lu Mingfeng had already silently recited this name in his heart that he hadn't read for many years, and he was a little weird, so he was about to reach out and lift the curtain at the moment.
The white fingertips paused in the air the moment they touched the curtain, she withdrew her hand abruptly, but her mind couldn't help but be a little low, now after many years, they have nothing to do with each other, Sister Nuo has also been found, and it has nothing to do with male and female marriages, I'm afraid he has a group of children now.
A wry smile rose up his cheeks. She turned her head to the outside and said, "Let's take a detour."
The cold voice was a little strange, and the groom did not dare to say more, and drove the carriage out of the long alley with difficulty.
Sister Nuo'er's inquiring gaze fell on her mother, "Does my mother know that Prince Jing?" Lu Mingfeng didn't expect that a seven-year-old girl would be so keenly aware of her abnormality and say this.
While she was shocked in her heart, she also clearly thought that she couldn't tell her daughter about this matter, there was something about her life experience, she didn't want to mention it again, Sister Nuo was the daughter of her Mrs. Yunzhang, and it had nothing to do with Gong Jueyi or the Dali royal family.
She still can't forget the pain when she was about to give birth, and she can't forget Gong Jueyi's cruelty to her, their relationship has nothing but use, and there shouldn't be anything else.
As for the others, such as the old things and ambiguous feelings between her and Gong Xuanchi, they can't be mentioned anymore, and now she is no longer the little girl who is in love for the first time in her teens, she is the mother of Sister Nuo, the owner of Ming Ji Commercial Bank, and the wife of Yun Zhang.
She has a lot of burdens on her body, and she can't be young and frivolous anymore.
She smiled at Sister Nuo'er, and her thin and appropriate lips hooked a comfortable arc, making people feel like drinking a cold drink in dog days, and her heart suddenly brightened.
Sister Nuo'er's dark eyes flashed with a strange light, and she asked Lu Mingfeng with a smile: "Mother, where are we staying tonight?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingfeng suddenly remembered a house he had built in the capital five years ago.
At the beginning, with the kind of hatred for Gong Xuanchi's betrayal of her, and a sense of revenge, she set up a house next to Prince Jing's mansion and hung the sign of Yunfu.
Now that she is really back, she has a kind of resistance, and she is unwilling to go, this feeling of not being able to let go of her heart is telling Lu Mingfeng more and more clearly that she has a different kind of affection for Gong Xuanchi in her heart.
This made her unwilling to face it, but she couldn't avoid it, but after thinking about it, he had already married a wife and had children, so why should he think about those things awkwardly?
But Gong Xuanchi used to always appear when she needed it most, which made it difficult to accept some things, like a mole on the flesh, although I think it is yours, but it still has to be removed.
Lu Mingfeng shook his head, put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and said to Sister Nuo'er: "Let's go live in our own house."
Sister Nuo knew how rich her family was, so it was natural for her family to have houses everywhere, and she didn't look surprised, but stretched her limbs comfortably, and curled up lazily like a kitten on a thick cotton mat.
Lu Mingfeng couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this, and whispered to Sister Nuo'er to tell her, don't run around with the wind and rain all day long like in the Yun Clan, this is the calendar, it's better to be careful.
Sister Nuo glanced at Lu Mingfeng with disgust, and said like a little adult: "Mother, you still take care of yourself, do you think I have caused trouble for you?"
Lu Mingfeng couldn't help touching her nose, she actually made this little girl disgusted, and looked at her with a kind of unconscious gaze, which made her really ridiculous.
"Okay, okay, my sister Nuo is the smartest, it's my mother who says a lot, my mother will compensate you for it, and please don't be surprised by Miss Yinuo."
Sister Nuo suddenly burst out laughing, and Agarwood also laughed on the side, the mother and daughter are like friends, and they can always make people laugh when they talk.
However, this atmosphere makes Lu Mingfeng very relaxed, she likes this kind of comfortable time with her daughter, and when her daughter grows up and gets married in the future, she doesn't know if she will have the opportunity to get along like this at that time.
The carriage went around and around, and finally arrived at the Yunfu on Shenglong Street, most of which are the residences of ministers with heads and faces in the calendar, and all the princes and earls are in this area.
The carriage slowly stopped, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman in a black brocade dress came in and lifted the curtain, and respectfully reported: "Madam, you have arrived at the house."
Lu Mingfeng smiled at her, turned to Sister Nuo'er and said, "Let's go, Miss?"
The woman in black naturally knew that Madame loved Miss the most, so she reached out and gently helped Sister Nuo get out of the car.
Sister Nuo has a bright smile on her face, and a kind of noble woman's temperament exudes from the inside out, not delicate and pretentious, the kind of temperament that naturally exudes between twenty gestures makes people smack their tongues.
Then Agarwood came to help Lu Mingfeng get out of the car, wearing a snow-white plain brocade bottom apricot yellow peony pattern dress, a snow wool silk cloak, and a pair of indigo Chaoyun embroidered shoes under her feet slowly stepped on the ground, and someone had already come up to tidy up her clothes.
Agarwood with an apricot yellow satin peony folded branch embroidered round-neck cardigan also landed steadily, she was busy stepping forward to help Lu Mingfeng, the porter got the letter, and opened the door of the house, gracefully let the agarwood support, step by step slowly walked up the steps, suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves, Lu Mingfeng did not reply, but the sound of horses' hooves behind him stopped.
Gong Xuanchi looked at the woman who was walking up the steps step by step, and there was a seven-year-old girl beside her, and she was a little touched in her heart for a while, and she couldn't help but look at it twice.
But Lu Mingfeng didn't know, but even if she knew, she wouldn't look back again.
A group of people gradually walked by, but the news of Ming Ji's arrival at the Great Calendar spread in the capital.
Gong Xuanchi naturally heard about this Ming Ji owner, and heard that the owner is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and she is called Mrs. Yunzhang.
Cloud, pure and immaculate, Zhang, beautiful jade. Gong Xuanchi pondered, who could this be?
Jing Lei, who went out to inquire, came back soon, his face was a little strange, he seemed to be a little reluctant to speak, knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't speak, Gong Xuanchi asked with a calm face: "What's the matter, tell me quickly."
Knowing that it was impossible to fool the past, Thunder reported the reliable news to Gong Xuanchi.
After listening to the thunderous words, Gong Xuanchi sat down on the low couch with a dejected face, but the spiritual, finely carved face appeared in his heart, which gradually coincided with the figure of the beautiful woman he saw today.
The graceful and elegant woman of Tsinghua, the girl who looked soft and weak and ghostly, actually ...... It turned out to be a person?
Since seven years ago, because he gave Sister Nuo'er to the Lingxu Elder, Lu Mingfeng personally sent a sharp blade into his body, and after he fell out with Lu Mingfeng, he never cared about Lu Mingfeng's news again, and he often thought of her later.
Thinking of her coquettish and angry appearance, thinking of her tears, thinking of her helplessness, thinking of her pitiful appearance, this is like engraved in his heart, when he thinks of it, it is inevitable that his heart hurts faintly, but ...... He didn't want to think about it, he didn't know if it was because of his debt to her, or because he felt sad about losing her because of his cowardice, and he felt that it would be better if he could let his memories be erased.
But today, when he was galloping, he caught a glimpse of her being surrounded by people in front and back like a starry moon, and when he understood that she was no longer the little woman who needed his protection all the time, it was as if the scar had been torn open, and although it no longer hurt, it was very unaccustomed.
He missed Lu Mingfeng's eyes that flashed with water, and the apricot blossom eyes seemed to be full of mountain flowers, the sun and the moon, and they were all rippling in the blink of an eye, which made his heart soft and confused.
But if so...... So why did I never think about going to her? At that time, it might have been nice to coax her, but I had always preferred to paralyze myself rather than know her condition, as if I could hide my feelings.
Gong Xuanchi tossed and turned, sleepless all night, thinking about those things in her heart, those bits and pieces of time with Lu Mingfeng.
He once hugged her and slept in the same bed, although he didn't do anything, but at that time, he still remembered that Lu Mingfeng fell asleep and hugged himself, like a child, cute appearance, was it at that time, he was tempted? No, maybe earlier, as early as Anbei Town, a kiss when she fell into the water moved her heart?
He pondered it carefully, and then he realized that many things were no longer to be found.
At this time, in the cloud mansion opposite the right side of Prince Wang Jing's mansion, Lu Mingfeng was hugging Sister Nuo'er and telling her the fairy tales she had heard when she was a child.
She looked at Lu Mingfeng: "Mother, what is a crystal slipper, will the crystal slipper be very hard, the shoes we wear are soft, will the crystal slipper be awkward?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingfeng's face was black, and he couldn't help but reach out and twist Sister Nuo'er's soft little face: "You little thing who doesn't understand the amorous feelings!"
Others are elated when they listen to fairy tales, and they are looking forward to meeting their own prince like Cinderella, but this little girl is thinking about whether the shoes are hard or not, why do you say that her brain circuit is so strange.
Lu Mingfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly and touched Sister Nuo'er's head: "Okay, today's story will be over, baby, it's time for you to sleep."
As he spoke, Lu Mingfeng folded the quilt for Sister Nuo'er, gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, blew out the candle and went out to cover the door.
