Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 226 Ming Xuan's Distress
"The predecessor is the head of the Ming family, Ming Xuan's father?"
The young man stretched out his hand to hug the salute, and did enough etiquette for the younger generation.
Ming Xuan gave him a lot of help in the martial arts assessment, and they also formed a deep friendship, if the other party is really Ming Xuan's father, he must give enough respect, which is also the etiquette that should be had as a junior.
Ming Fan looked Meng Li up and down, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I remember, you are Xuan'er's friend, and his mother and I have seen you in the Chuanwu assessment." ”
Meng Li said with a smile: "During the martial arts assessment, fortunately, with the help of Brother Mingxuan, the younger generation could have the opportunity to get the martial arts order, and I always wanted to come to the house to thank you, but I never had the opportunity." ”
"It's too modest, I watched the scene between you and Han Fei, it's very good. ”
Ming Fan looked at Meng Li, and his eyes flashed with brilliance. It's not just good, but it's terrifying.
Killing seven forges with five forgings, even he was amazed.
"The seniors have won the prize!"
"Don't stand here, let's go in and say. ”
The backyard of the Ming Mansion.
Ming Fan pulled Meng Li and sat in the stone pavilion.
Seeing that his master was returning from hospitality, his own housekeeper ordered his subordinates to hand over weak tea.
Ming Fan pointed to the hot tea that had just been served and said, "Virtuous nephew drink tea, this is the best Xizhou Longjing." ”
Xizhou is rich in Longjing, and most of the tribute tea drunk in the palace is from the best Longjing in Xizhou.
Meng Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Good tea!"
Ming Fan smiled: "If I remember correctly, the virtuous nephew should be surnamed Meng, right?"
"Junior Meng Li. Meng Li bowed slightly.
Hearing this name, Ming Fan suddenly thought of something, and said thoughtfully: "I heard that a new martial arts hall has been opened in Beicheng, called the Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall, and in just a few days, the Kaolan bandits who have been endangering the boundary water for many years will be wiped out. The owner of this martial arts hall seems to be also called Meng Li. ”
"It's down there. ”
"It's really a hero from ancient times, and Meng Xian's nephew is terrifying!" Ming Fan sighed and said, "The virtuous nephew is here to find Ming Xuan?"
Meng Li nodded: "There are some things that need Brother Mingxuan's help." ”
He came this time for Li Qifeng.
Ming Fan clapped his hands and was about to order his subordinates to shout, when at this moment, a middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in red suddenly walked from the front yard.
"Hey, do you have a guest at home?"
The beautiful woman in red is not the mistress of the Ming Mansion, who is it.
When Du Erniang saw Meng Li, she immediately stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "This guest looks very young!
"Huh?"
Meng Li looked at Du Erniang, who was dressed in red, and was a little confused.
Which school of thought does it mean?
"Oops, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Ming Fan stood up and said embarrassedly: "This Meng Lixian's nephew is Xuan'er's friend. ”
After speaking, he said to Meng Li: "Virtuous nephew, I'm sorry, she mistook you for my literati friends!"
Meng Li suddenly realized.
Du Erniang covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Hehehehe, Xuan'er has been absent from Jieshui for a long time, and after coming back, he stayed at home, and he didn't expect to make friends unconsciously. Hey, why do I think this little brother is familiar?"
Ming Fan laughed and said: "I almost didn't recognize it just now, Erniang, take a closer look, isn't this little guy the Meng Li on the martial arts assessment?"
As he spoke, he gave Du Erniang a look.
Du Erniang frowned at first, then remembered what happened in the Chuanwu assessment, clapped her hands and said: "Come to think of it, you are friends of Mu'er and Xuan'er, I remember that there is a very good-looking little girl among you, isn't it?"
Meng Li smiled bitterly: "What Aunt said is right. ”
Du Erniang carried a gorgeous red dress, turned around and sat beside Meng Li, and said enthusiastically: "Little brother Meng, I see that you and that little girl seem to be quite familiar, are you together?"
Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Meng Li felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't care, and replied truthfully: "Bu Yu and I are both from Shuizhen, and we came to the boundary water together. ”
"I came out at a young age, and I am very ambitious!"
Ming Fan sighed, leaned to the other side of Meng Li, and said curiously: "I see that you have a close relationship, are you a very good family?"
Meng Li shook his head.
"That's the relationship between lovers!" Du Erniang's expression was solemn, and her thin willow leaves curved her eyebrows, as if they had turned into two narrow scimitars.
Meng Li, who was only a foot away from Du Erniang, instantly felt a chill.
It's inexplicable......
"Uh, no!"
The boy shook his head, as if he was really frozen, and his movements stiffened.
Then he saw a very strange scene.
Ming Fan and his wife leaned back at the same time, exhaled deeply, and said in unison: "Alas, what a pity!"
Forehead......
I don't want to be sorry for this no matter how you look at it!
On the contrary, I was a little glad......
Du Erniang said: "Then what do you think of Miss Bu?"
Meng Li instinctively wanted to say the words "irritable", but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth in time and gave Miss Bu a face.
"Generous personality, dare to love and hate!"
"Yes, it's quite similar to my personality. Du Erniang nodded with satisfaction, looked at Ming Fan and said, "Xuan'er's friend is here, have you sent someone to inform Xuan'er?"
Ming Fan was in a cold sweat: "Yet, not yet." ”
"Then don't go yet!"
Meng Li could clearly see the picture of this beautiful woman's face gradually turning cold.
Then, there was a picture of the head of the Ming family fleeing in the wilderness.
As he ran, he said loudly: "I'll go now, I'll go right away......"
Within a moment, Ming Xuan was led to the backyard by Ming Fandi.
When Meng Li saw Ming Xuan, his heart was suddenly shocked.
"Brother Mingxuan, what's wrong with you?
The beautiful boy who used to be in the wind in Yushu is now haggard.
Not to mention the scorched face, there is still a decadent aura on his body, which is no different from having a serious illness.
Ming Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Meng Li, do you have something to do with me?"
After speaking, he looked at Ming Fan and his wife again, and said respectfully: "Father, mother, can you let me talk to Meng Li alone?"
Ming Fan and his wife glanced at each other, walked out of the courtyard in silence, and at the same time sent off the surrounding subordinates.
Mingxuan's state has been very bad these days, and as Mingxuan's parents, they naturally hope that he can cheer up.
Meng Li's appearance, in their opinion, is an opportunity.
"Brother Meng Li, thank you for coming to see me. ”
Meng Li looked at Ming Xuan and said with a heavy face, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm sick. Ming Xuan showed a wry smile: "Lovesickness." ”
Hearing about lovesickness, Meng was a little more abrupt.
He originally thought that Ming Xuan was seriously ill, but now it seems that this is to make people haggard for Yixuan!
"Good thing! Good thing!"
Meng Li stretched out his hand and patted Ming Xuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I don't know which young lady is so lucky to get your favor." ”
Ming Xuan's conditions are enough to be called among the best in Jieshui City, whether it is appearance, talent, family background or martial arts, they are all first-class and good.
Which of the daughters in this water city can refuse his charm?
"Brother Meng Li, now that the matter is over, I won't hide it from you. ”
Ming Xuan thought about it and felt that he still had to make it clear to Meng Li.
"You say. ”
Meng Li pretended to be calm, but his heart was already excited, which girl could make Mingxuan so haunted.
He's so curious!
"Actually......"
Ming Xuan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said loudly, "The person I like is Miss Bu!"
As soon as these words came out, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained.
Hearing this, Meng Li was also shocked, stood up suddenly, and said in disbelief: "Brother Mingxuan, are you joking with me, how can you?"
Bu Yu, the brutal and willful eldest lady, will also be liked by anyone?
In Meng Li's opinion, this is really an incredible thing!
Ming Xuan misunderstood what Meng Li meant, and thought that he was questioning himself, so he lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't like Miss Bu, but I just can't control myself......"
"First time!"
Meng Li stretched out his hand to interrupt Ming Xuan.
"Brother Mingxuan, I don't understand what you're saying at all, why do you want to apologize? Why can't you like Bu Yu? I admit that although this Miss Bu has a bit of an arrogant personality, she hasn't reached the point of being incurable, so she doesn't even have the qualifications to be liked?"
He obviously misunderstood, and he was complaining about Bu Yuming.
"Ahh
Ming Xuan looked confused.
What do you mean?
"I like Miss Bu, aren't you angry?"
Meng Li said with a smile: "Why should I be angry? You are all my friends, if you can be together, I wish you that it is too late." ”
Ming Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Meng Li in amazement.
"Aren't you a couple?"
This time, Meng Li finally knew the root of Ming Xuan's haggardness, and said with a smile: "How can you think so, she and I are just ordinary friends." ”
"It's really just an ordinary friend?" Ming Xuan couldn't believe it.
Meng Li nodded: "Yes!"
"Oh my God, that's great!"
The ecstatic young man jumped up suddenly, hugged Meng Li, and said excitedly: "Brother, you don't know how entangled I have been in the past few days. ”
A friend's wife should not be deceived.
Mingxuan is a very principled person, and for him, friendship is as important as love.
Recovering Mingxuan's spirits, Meng Li breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly: "Actually, I think Bu Yu still has a good impression of you, so I don't need to go back to help you talk about it, of course, I don't guarantee that I will be able to convince her." ”
Bu Yu's character Meng Li understands best, like this kind of thing, you can't say it directly, you have to be tactful.
"Is this really good?" Ming Xuan was a little overwhelmed, he really didn't know what to do in the face of the love between men and women.
Seeing that he was shy like a big boy, Meng Li laughed: "What's wrong with this, you are also a good-looking Ming family, I really can't think of anyone better than you in Jieshui City." ”
In Meng Li's opinion, what Mingxuan lacks most now is confidence.
Hearing Meng Li's encouragement, Ming Xuan was really much braver, and said worriedly: "Then please leave it to you." ”
Then the two chatted about Miss Bu again, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
The backyard of the Ming family is full of flowers and plants, and the air is pleasantly cleaned.
Meng Li looked around, looked at the spring color of the garden, and sighed: "It's so beautiful!"
Ming Xuan smiled and said, "These are all the credit of my father. ”
Meng Li suddenly remembered Du Mu and asked, "How is Du Mu lately?" I haven't seen him since the end of the assessment. ”
Speaking of Du Mu, a smile appeared on Ming Xuan's face.
"He has returned to the Cloud Sword Sect, and now he is familiar with the power of the Seven Forgings, and you also know that the exercises of the Cloud Sword Sect pay attention to the Fu Sword Accompaniment, he broke into the Seven Forgings, and now he is learning deeper Fu Method, if it goes well, it will take less than a month to fully master it. ”
Meng Li was still quite interested in Fu Zheng, and said with a smile when he heard this: "When he comes back, you have to try his methods." ”
"Brother Meng Li, it should be about to break into the Sixth Forging!"
Ming Xuan smiled, and seemed to be looking forward to the fight between the two.
Meng Li said calmly: "Half a month as fast, and as much as a month." ”
"Then it's already very fast!" Ming Xuan said with emotion: "Brother Meng Li can break through seven forgings with five forgings, and after breaking into six forgings, even I may not be your opponent." ”
Meng Li smiled, and suddenly remembered the main purpose of this visit.
"Brother Mingxuan, I can't hide it, I actually have something to ask for when I visit this time. ”
