The horses' hooves are sluggish, and the wheels are sluggish.

In the carriage, Mingmei is full of laughter and witty words, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. Even though Wende was only meeting her for the second time, the result of the last meeting was by no means pleasant, and at this time, he still felt that the relationship was suddenly harmonious. I have to admit that if you put aside prejudice, Mingmei is indeed an interpretive flower.

And it's a wonderful person.

Even if Ming Mei knew that Wen De had ulterior motives for looking for her, Wen De didn't say that she didn't ask, as if she didn't know about it, she really came on a trip.

This was like this for a long time, until he walked into the uninhabited field, and Zhang Long, who acted as a coachman outside the carriage, deliberately coughed and issued a code of "confirm that no one is following".

Wen De let out a sigh, suddenly leaned over, and unexpectedly touched the forehead of the maid with Mingmei. The fireworks ability was immediately activated, and the maid shook, although she struggled desperately, she couldn't bear the sleepiness, and almost in the blink of an eye, she leaned on the carriage and fell asleep.

Mingmei saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but have a panicked look in his eyes, and his right hand secretly retracted into his sleeve, holding the dagger hidden in it, and his heart was slightly fixed, "What does Mei Gongzi mean by this?" ”

"Miss Ming, please rest assured, it's just some private words, it's just inconvenient for people to hear."

Winder could see her nervousness and spoke out in comfort, in her own voice.

It was very different from the slightly sharp voice when she pretended to be Mei Shiren, and Mingmei noticed the difference at once, and her vigilant expression was even worse, "Who are you?!" After a pause, he immediately reacted, "No, you don't have to answer!" ”

But she realized that once she learned the answer, she might not have a chance to refuse.

However, the idea itself was contradictory, and Winder reminded her with a smile: "If Miss Ming really didn't want to know, she wouldn't have agreed to travel with me." ”

Mingmei was stunned, and subconsciously bit her lower lip, Wen De didn't urge, and after waiting for a few seconds, she asked again when she was emotionally stable, "Childe is so thoughtful, I don't know what to ask for?" The slave family is small, and I am afraid that they will not be able to afford the big things of the son. But he guessed Mei Zhongqing's identity, but he was afraid that it would be fake, and he didn't even mention his surname.

Mingmei's intelligence made Wende secretly relieved, it was more convenient to deal with smart people, as long as he could exchange benefits.

Winder simply removed the disguise completely.

Seeing that the man at the moment gradually became younger and handsome from the initial image of a gentleman, Mingmei couldn't take his eyes off it, although he was a little shocked in his heart, but he was relieved for no reason - excellent appearance is more or less to take advantage of when getting along with people - and Wende still has some advantages in this regard.

Finally, he took off his beard, revealing his smooth chin, Wen De smiled at Ming Mei and saluted, "So that Miss Ming can know that her surname is Wen Mingde, and she is now serving as an elder in the Cloud Pavilion." ”

"Cloud Pavilion?" Recently, Chu Yunxiu has been quite famous in Chang'an City, Mingmei really knew, surprised and a little puzzled at the same time, "The identity of the son is also noble, why do you want to disguise yourself and blend into Yichun Courtyard?" ”

"It's a long story......," Winder muttered, and then said, "As far as I know, the girl was sold into the Qinglou at the age of seven, and it has been a long time since then. I don't know if you have ever found that Yichun Yuan's attitude towards Liu Ruyan Willow girl is very different from others? ”

This is needless to say, if it weren't for this, if it weren't for the fireworks, it would be confirmed that Mingmei had sympathy for Liu Ruyan, and Wende would not have hit Mingmei with his mind.

On the other hand, Mingmei listened, and his mood was also a little complicated, on the one hand, he was really relieved, and on the other hand, he was a little stunned for no reason. After thinking for a while, Fang said: "This is a 'secret' that can't be said in the courtyard, but I don't know what the relationship between Gongzi and Ruyan is?" ”

Of course, there is no relationship...... But whether to be honest with Mingmei made Wende hesitate slightly, both have their pros and cons, and he is not sure which is easier to impress Mingmei to gain her trust.

It would be nice if Ma Qianliang suggested on the side, Wende admitted, when it comes to human feelings, even if his mental age is older than Ma Qianliang, he is still inferior.

- Before becoming a traveler, Wende's interpersonal relationships were relatively simple; And after becoming a traveler, the arrogance of being a transcendent person made him not have to care about such trivial things many times......

In fact, regarding the matter of persuading Mingmei, Ma Qianliang and Zhang Yu both hinted to Wende in private: if it is inconvenient, they are willing to take over on their behalf.

However, after hesitating repeatedly, Wende still declined, for the same reason as insisting on conducting the investigation himself, and trying not to entrust Enyimen again. It's that a lot of times, you have to be self-reliant before you can maintain your independence later. Even though he is willing to make friends with Baiyi Villa and Enyimen in his heart, the boundaries between them must still be clear.

It's a little ashamed to say that it took Wende a long time when he was in his hometown to gradually understand this extremely simple truth.

After hesitating for a while, Wende still decided to say something straightforward, not for anything else, just because it was troublesome to cover up, and there was also a risk that Mingmei would be suspicious of it if it was exposed.

He briefly mentioned the contradiction between Yunxiao Pavilion and the Chang family, and then focused on Liu Ruyan's life experience, how her family encountered accidents, and how they ended up in the dust.

As he spoke, he paid attention to Mingmei's expression, and found that when he mentioned the evil deeds of the Changle Gang, Mingmei did not show too obvious surprise or panic.

couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Miss Ming doesn't seem surprised?" ”

Mingmei couldn't help but sneer, and said unceremoniously: "When will there be less pickled things in the land of fireworks?" After a pause, he said: "Sister Liu's background is so pitiful, I don't know what the son wants me to do?" ”

Ming Mei was a little surprised to speak so well, hesitated, and asked first: "Miss Ming is so well aware of righteousness, I don't know what Wen can do for the girl?" ”

Mingmei's expression was slightly stunned, and he looked Wende up and down again, and suddenly showed a slightly disdainful look on his face, "With Gongzi's plan, are you going to redeem me?" With the identity and age of the son, it is not a grievance to make the slave family committed. ”

Wende was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, redemption is certain, but then the girl has anything she is willing to do, she can do it, I won't stop it, and if the girl doesn't mind, she is willing to help......"

"You're kind......" Mingmei didn't seem to believe it, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and the sneer on Jiao's face became more and more obvious, "But it's no wonder, when you were in Yichun Courtyard before, you would rather defile yourself than sleep in the same bed with Sister Liu, Gongzi Gaojie, but the slave family is not worthy of you!" ”

Wen De really didn't expect that at this juncture, Mingmei would still be able to diverge his thinking, and think so much from his previous behavior of being vain and wronged......

But to some extent, there is nothing wrong with it, Wende's choice before, although there is a consideration of saving Liu Ruyan to avoid embarrassment afterwards, on the other hand, it is also difficult to accept.

He's the kind of guy who occasionally craves ***, but in fact he can't be ruthless, pure *** - if you admit that men are naturally possessive of the opposite sex, then it's probably the difference between the harem faction and the stallion faction......

Especially after becoming a traveler, it is difficult to attract Winde with pure carnal desires......

But these words didn't need to be said to Ming Mei in detail, he just said seriously: "The girl misunderstood, I just think that you are still young, and you don't have to pin your future on others to live......"

Given that Wende's attitude was very serious, Mingmei was a little confused, she confirmed that what Wende said was psychological, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Childe said that he was joking, with an identity like a slave, where is there any future to speak of?" ”

"It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible." In order to persuade Ming Mei and settle Liu Ruyan in the future, Wen De still had some thoughts, "If the girl still wants to live such a life of fine clothes and food in the future, although Yunxiao Pavilion is not big, it is still possible to raise two idle people; If you feel that you are alone, your lover is a little embarrassed, but it is not difficult to have children......"

Mingmei was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and then shook her head when she looked at Wen De again, "That's just a change of yard, how different is it from the current life of the slave family?" ”

Mingmei's reaction surprised Wende a little, and he guessed in his heart: Isn't this girl still wanting to pursue her own value? After thinking about it, he said tentatively: "Then it depends on what the girl wants to ask for." If it's a marriage—"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, and Mingmei shook his head and said, "This slave family doesn't dare to ask for extravagance." ”

Then he said: "If you want to be independent and have some ability to protect yourself, although the girl is a little older, it is not too late to practice martial arts - as long as you can endure the hardships; If you want to pursue some other hobbies, Wen is not talented, but there are still a lot of dabbles, and some tutorial books can also be taken out......"

Saying this, Mingmei was a little moved when she heard this, "What Childe said is true?" Suddenly, he forcibly changed his attitude, "You say it well, but what can you guarantee it?" ”

Winder smiled and motioned for Mingmei to place his right hand on his palm, imagining the object he wanted the most.

Mingmei was puzzled and hesitated for a while before doing as he was told. After a while, he was signaled by Wende to reopen his eyes, and saw that he was holding a sheep fat jade pendant with outstanding quality engraved with "Emerald Feather Pearl" in his left hand.

It was exactly the same as Mingmei remembered, and when he saw it, tears fell on the spot.

couldn't help but reach out and hold the jade pendant firmly, and it took a long time for Mingmei to stop crying, and asked a little hoarsely: "I don't know what the son wants the slave family to do?" After a pause, he said: "Sister Liu's affairs are only more difficult than Gongzi imagined, she once said that she leaked her mouth, but there is a younger brother who doesn't know where - it is for him that Sister Liu is struggling to endure what she is experiencing now!" ”
