Mingzhen Garden is located on the side of the East Garden, naturally the most important place except for Hao Zhenggang and the main mother Qin Jing, just arrived at the gate of the courtyard and saw two maids standing there, Hua Jiao stepped forward to explain the intention, one of the maids Chong Mingzhu blessed the body, "Second Miss, please wait a while, the slave maid will go to Tongyu now." ”

Mingzhu bowed her head, and after the maid left, she glanced at each other with Huajiao, and after only a moment, the maid came out and bent over to Mingzhu and made a "please" gesture, "Second Miss, please." ”

Mingzhu nodded slightly, followed the maid to the courtyard, and thought to herself that it was really worthy of Mingzhen Garden, and it was also Miss Fuzhong, when people saw her, they went directly into the courtyard, and when they saw Hao Mingzhen, they had to get a few passes, and this difference in treatment was really obvious to the extreme.

After passing through the two round doors, he arrived at the main house of Mingzhen Garden, Mingzhu followed the maid up the steps, and after entering the house, he saw Hao Mingzhen sitting on the upper seat of the house in a man's costume and drinking tea, and did not get up after seeing her come, but only raised his eyes and looked, "You are here." ”

is different from Hao Mingyao's delicateness, Hao Mingzhen is full of heroism, her long black hair is only tied into a ponytail, clean and heroic, and the slender phoenix eyes that follow Qin Jing are slightly upturned, giving people a feeling of not being close.

As soon as she saw her and heard her voice, Mingzhu's hands hidden under her sleeves were subconsciously clenched into fists, remembering the righteousness on her face before she died in her previous life, and when she kept claiming that her child was a "seed of evil", Mingzhu's hatred in her heart was to the extreme, if it wasn't for the wrong time now, she really wanted to give the person in front of her hands with her own hands!

Now, however, she can only endure it.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but I am relieved to see that my eldest sister is still so energetic." Mingzhu pulled the corners of her lips, stepped forward and nodded at Hao Mingzhen, Hao Mingzhen raised her hand and motioned for her to sit, Mingzhu was naturally not polite.

"I heard that you caught a cold and fainted in front of your grandmother, but now you are better?"

Her voice was slightly deeper than that of a normal woman, and if you didn't distinguish it carefully, it really looked like a man's voice.

Mingzhu nodded to the maid who brought her tea, then looked at her, and said with a smile: "Let the eldest sister worry, a little illness, only blame me for being too bad to drag on until now, so that I have not come to visit the eldest sister, the eldest sister has to forgive me." ”

Mingzhu naturally has her reason for saying this, in this general's mansion, Hao Mingzhen is another head of the house in addition to Hao Zhenggang, the old lady and the main mother, and the other aunts in the mansion have to salute when they see her, and as long as she is in the mansion, those concubines will come here every day to say hello like Qin Jing and the old lady.

"It's a trivial matter, look at how serious you are," Hao Mingzhen poured himself tea, and glanced at Mingzhu when he drank it, "But your body is really too bad, do you remember those fists and feet that Mr. taught in the past?" ”

Although he didn't treat this flat wife and daughter very much, as a family of military generals, he paid special attention to the education of his children, especially martial arts, so when he was a child, Hao Zhenggang specially invited the martial master to come to the house to teach, and as the daughter-in-law, Mingzhu and Hao Mingzhen, the master paid special attention.

"I remember, I remember, but some things are not very clear, how can the eldest sister come handy." Mingzhu replied ambiguously, wanting to say that although she doesn't like to practice martial arts, she doesn't like to lose things because she has been doing things since she was a child, and her basic skills are also solid.

"Really?" Hao Mingzhen raised her eyes, and then put the cup, "How about it, how many tricks?" ”

She knew it.

Mingzhu had long expected that she would encounter this situation here, and she was mentally prepared, nodding and getting up: "Okay, as long as the eldest sister doesn't dislike it." ”

After speaking, he gave the pepper a look, and then took off the outer veil and handed it to the pepper.

Hao Mingzhen snorted and strode into the courtyard with his hands in his hands.

"Miss......" Hua Jiao followed behind, vaguely worried.

Mingzhu gave her a reassuring look when she heard this, and then stood opposite Hao Mingzhen, hugged her fists and said, "Please also ask the eldest sister to show mercy." ”

Hao Mingzhen chuckled and raised his hand: "Please." ”

When the words fell, Mingzhu's eyes narrowed slightly, his heart condensed, he gathered his strength in his palms, kicked his right foot back slightly, and attacked the person opposite with a soft sigh.

Hao Mingzhen's eyes narrowed, and he only dodged Mingzhu's attack with a slight sideways, and then raised his left hand at a very fast speed to catch Mingzhu's palm, but Mingzhu's eyes were fast, and his body bent down slightly to easily dodge, and then attacked her down, so fast that even Hao Mingzhen's face showed a slightly surprised look.

However, it was only a moment's work, she immediately came back to her senses, took two steps back and dodged, raised her legs and turned behind Mingzhu, wanting to start from behind her, but she didn't want to be avoided by Mingzhu leaning back and bending down.

After a long while, Mingzhu's physical strength was obviously a little weak, Hao Mingzhen took the opportunity to speed up the attack, jumped up a few consecutive kicks, Mingzhu took a few moves with his palm, but in the end he was forced to retreat again and again, and his back arm was kicked and almost stumbled.

"Miss, be merciful!"

Seeing that his young lady was about to be kicked to the ground, Hua Jiao hurriedly stepped forward and shouted anxiously.

The sharp palm wind slid in front of him, Mingzhu leaned back, Hao Mingzhen also stopped at this time, Mingzhu took advantage of the situation and took two steps back, panting a little: "Sure enough, the eldest sister made a move, and I can't compare with a half-ass." ”

Especially this kind of trick is so ruthless that she can't compare with her.

After taking the wet towel handed over by the maid in the courtyard and wiping his face, Hao Mingzhen chuckled, "You can't say that, you are different from me, it is enough to work like this in the boudoir all year round, if my father sees your current growth, I guess I will feel gratified." ”

Mingzhu wiped her face and followed her to the house, saying as she walked: "Eldest sister, this is an exaggeration, you forgot, my father just said that I don't want to make progress, I only know how to nest in the room all day long, just this effort, I really don't dare to see him." ”

Of course, she also knew that Hao Zhenggang was often absent from the mansion, and at this time in his previous life, he was stationed in the army because of the upcoming visit of the prince of Anguo, so naturally he didn't have the time to come back.

"I didn't expect you to become able to speak after being sick for a while," Hao Mingzhen picked up her robe and sat down, put her hands on her knees, looked at her and said, "I heard that you went to Gongnan Wangfu yesterday?" ”

General Zhenguo and Prince Gongnan had a delicate relationship in the court due to disagreements on political affairs, but now it was the people of Hao's Mansion who took the initiative to meet the people of Gongnan's Palace, and Hao Mingzhen, as her father's right-hand man, naturally wanted to ask.

Mingzhu had expected it, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I heard that the county lord of Allure likes embroidery, although my father doesn't like me to do those things, but I can't help it, so I handed over the post." ”

She is just a young lady Hao Er who is in the depths of the boudoir, and it is not strange that she doesn't know about those relationships in the court.

Hao Mingzhen also thought of this, so he pursed his lips after examining Mingzhu's face, "It's good to be interested, but one thing you have to remember is that there are some misunderstandings between our General's Mansion and Gongnan Palace, of course, it's understandable that you don't know, but if you can not see the people of Gongnan Palace, try not to see them in the future, if your father knows about it, you will be punished." ”

Hearing this, Mingzhu pretended to be surprised and looked remorseful, "Huh? This...... I don't even know that, so what now? If my father knew about ......"

"It's okay," Hao Mingzhen leaned back in the chair, "It's okay not to take it as an example, you don't need to know too much as a woman." ”

Hearing her words, Mingzhu couldn't help but feel funny in her heart.

What do you mean by "you don't need to know much as a woman"?

Dare to love her, doesn't she treat herself as a woman?

In her previous life, the reason why she was biased in her understanding of Hao Mingzhen was that she was confused by her seemingly heroic and hearty appearance, but after experiencing a lifetime, she now knows very well that she, Miss Hao, is in the house all the time to weaken Miss Hao Er's status, and even has to intervene in marriage.

Thinking of this, Mingzhu turned her mind and pretended to have palpitations, "That's good, I didn't know about it before, and now I know that it won't be anymore, thank you for reminding me." ”

After speaking, he beckoned to Huajiao, took something from the latter's hand, got up and walked to Hao Mingzhen, and said: "I have been suffocating in the yard for the past few days, and I am fine, so I made a gadget, and I hope that the eldest sister will not dislike it." ”

After that, a month-white embroidered bamboo purse was handed to Hao Mingzhen.

Hao Mingzhen's temperament is as strong as a man, and he usually doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he has a soft spot for bamboo, one of the four gentlemen among the literati and ink writers, and Mingzhu likes it, although Hao Mingzhen doesn't like this person in front of him, but he is satisfied with this embroidered bamboo purse, and then nodded with a smile: "The second sister's craftsmanship is still so good, then I'm not welcome." ”

After that, he handed the purse to the big girl Chu Qing and put it away.

Mingzhu snorted, "It's just a small thing, as long as the eldest sister likes it." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and looked out, then turned around and said, "It's almost half an hour before I know it, and I think the eldest sister should have other things to do, so I won't bother." ”

Hao Mingzhen heard that she was leaving, and got up symbolically, "Okay, let's talk to our sisters when we have time, your body is just right, you still have to rest." ”

Mingzhu hooked her lips and nodded, turned around and beckoned the pepper to go out, and then ......

The sound of "pop", not big or small, happened to let everyone present hear and follow the sound.

"Huh?" Mingzhu was puzzled, looked down at the ground, and it was the exquisite jade pendant, and he was about to bend down to pick it up, but he didn't want to be preempted.

"This thing ......" Hao Mingzhen picked up the jade pendant and looked at it in his hand, his eyes flashing slightly.

Mingzhu's face flashed a hint of amazement, and he said uncomfortably: "...... Thank you, big sister, this is mine. ”

"Yours?"

Hao Mingzhen's face sank suddenly after hearing the answer, and her eyes became subtle when she looked at Mingzhu, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Want to lie to her?

This is clearly the ......

"I ...... This ......" Mingzhu looked flustered and at a loss.

Hao Mingzhen suddenly seemed to understand something, her expression became cold, and her tone was a little colder.

"Say, where did you get this?"
