MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 24

There is a wind blowing, and the bamboo forest in the back is rustling, and there are occasional bursts of pines.

After Ming Tan finished speaking, the three people in the pavilion were silent for a moment, looked at each other suddenly, and laughed together again, the laughter was blown by the wind, full of girls' tenderness.

"You are not ashamed! I don't know who used to call out 'reckless man' one by one, but now that people are handsome, they don't need to be reserved at all. Just come and meet them by chance, it's a mistake." Lang Gu', thank you for thinking it out!" Bai Minmin hurt her.

There was no one around, and there was a servant girl guarding nearby, Ming Tan was not afraid to admit: "A gentle lady like a gentleman, how can a lady not be happy with a handsome gentleman?"

Bai Minmin: "Wanwan, look at how virtuous she is! If you say she is handsome, you will say she is handsome, and she will boast that she is a lady without any shame!"

Ming Tan raised his chin slightly, and he was about to sit down. It's not ashamed. She put her hands on the piano, and played the song "Bamboo Language in Late Spring" to the sound of pines and bamboos.

When she plays the piano, she always concentrates and concentrates. Not only has she learned from famous masters, she has superb skills, but what is rare is that she is not trapped by skills, and the sound of the piano is smooth, agile and affectionate. Only at the end, she repeats her tricks and makes a wrong sound as if inadvertently.

After the song was over, Ming Tan was very satisfied, and murmured with Zhou Jingwan about what other songs should be suitable for the occasion. However, she didn't know that her Jiang Lang was very face-to-face, and he had already taken another look at her when she mispronounced.

Jiang Xu and his entourage came to Daxiangguo Temple today, in fact, they came to visit Master Wu who was practicing in the temple.

Wu Wu is a great Confucianist in the former dynasty. During the Chunxing period, he was once an official and worshiped Zaifu, and he was an extremely human minister. During those years, he gave lectures, and the world was full of peaches and plums. He was also the teacher of Jiang Xu and the others. Long before the first emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, he escaped into Buddhism after enlightenment, and did not care about worldly affairs, only meeting foreigners every year on his birthday.

Today is his birthday, several people came to see him. I don't want to see Fang Chu, so that I can hear the sound of the piano in the back mountain.

After listening, several people wanted to leave quietly without disturbing. Who would have thought that Zhang Huaiyu would step on half of a dead branch as soon as he took a step.

"Who!" Lue subconsciously shouted.

Four people: "..."

The maids brought by Bai Minmin and Zhou Jingwan hurried forward with their skirts in their hands, and the guards followed immediately.

Zhang Huaiyu paused in embarrassment, subconsciously looking at Jiang Xu.

It was Shu Jingran who came to his senses first, cupped his hands from a distance, and apologized: "A certain friend passed by the back mountain, heard the sound of the piano, and stopped to listen to the music for a while. .”

The girls were all stunned, hey, isn't this...Second Master Shu? They had all seen it from afar when they accompanied their young lady to watch the horse-racing parade. Really unforgettable.

The three of Ming Tan also came out of the pavilion when they heard the sound.

Seeing that Shu Jingran was the first to salute, Bai Minmin's eyes lit up instantly.

"Master Shu!"

Bai Minmin walked fast, Zhou Jingwan was a little slower, followed behind, and greeted him very politely. Ming Tan originally wanted to attend the salute with her, but when she glanced at Shu Er's side, a young man in pine green and brocade pattern uniform with black eyes, he froze.

Bai Minmin didn't realize it, and was a little excited to get close to Shu Jingran: "Master Shu also came to burn incense with his friend today?"

She looked at the other people, and guessed: "I have heard that the second son of Shu has a good relationship with Zhang Shizi and Lu Dianshuai. I think this is Zhang Shizi of Pingguo Gongfu, and this is Lu Dianshuai? Then this is—— "

When Bai Minmin recognized Zhang Huaiyu and Lu Ting, Shu Jingran nodded with a slight smile, but when she looked at Jiang Xu suspiciously, Shu Jingran paused and coughed unnaturally.

Shu Jingran didn't introduce him, so Zhang Huaiyu stood aside, waving his folding fan, looking like he was enjoying the show. Lu Ting was originally indifferent and had no intention of participating, his sword hand was behind his back, and his gaze inadvertently rested on Zhou Jingwan for a few moments.

Ming Tan pulled Bai Minmin to ask her not to ask any more questions, but Bai Minmin didn't notice, she was a little confused, and turned around to praise Jiang Xu again.

Ming Tan's ears were burning when he heard it, and he thought in his heart: how could he be with Shu Er and the others, when did he come, he must not have heard those words just now, right?

In a blink of an eye, she compared unconsciously: Long time no see, her future husband is wearing this pine green uniform today, standing among the green bamboo forests in the back mountain, the awe-inspiring feeling is a little less, and it adds a bit of the clear and meaningful look of the rocky mountain and the pine wind flowing into the water. I mean, it seems to be a little more handsome.

Bai Minmin saw that no one introduced her after boasting for a long time, and this person didn't introduce himself, so she finally felt something was wrong.

There was silence.

With the sound of rustling and bamboo, Jiang Xu cast his eyes down, and finally said: "So-and-so, Jiang Xu."

Bai Minmin: "..."

Zhou Jingwan: "..."

The two of them looked at Ming Tan!

Ming Tan had already adjusted his mood during the short time when Bai Minmin was boasting hype, and made up his mind that no matter whether they heard what he said just now, he would pretend to be stupid and pretend nothing happened.

She acted as if she had never seen Jiang Xu before, she was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses very quickly, and gave a gentle blessing: "A Tan has met His Highness King Dingbei, Your Highness is blessed and safe."

Zhang Huaiyu was holding back her laughter so much that she was going crazy, and Shu Jingran also had a hard time enduring it.

Shu Jingran thought to himself: This young lady of the Ming family is really not an ordinary woman, her acting skills are superb and she is calm and composed. When she enters the Dingbei Palace, facing Jiang Xu, a cold stone, she will always have a good show.

In fact, Shu Jingran was more surprised than Ming Tan when he heard that the Holy Majesty had granted him a marriage in the Pingguo Palace earlier.

The poetry meeting ended halfway, so he went to Daying, Gyeonggi, and asked Jiang Xu why he made such an order. Jiang Xu was writing a memorial at the time, and stopped him without raising his eyes: "Didn't you say that this king is here to marry you?" , it’s not impossible.”

Shu Jingran was at a loss for words, and he felt uneasy because of this, so he said after a long silence: "I just think that if you don't really want to marry, then don't waste the life of the young lady. And if you made such an intention because of my words, wouldn't it be me?" guilt?"

It was fine before, but when Shihui saw her, he felt that the Fourth Miss of the Ming family was a very interesting woman, and it would be a pity if she became a **** in the court's secret struggle.

Hearing the words, Jiang Xu asked back, "What is sincerity?"

His voice was flat, but to the point: "You don't want to marry, and this king doesn't want to marry either. What kind of life do you think she will have?"

Shu Jingran was silent.

After the downfall of the Marquis Cheng's Mansion, Concubine Yu was imprisoned in the Leng Palace and allowed to be bullied by others. Gu Jiurou, the second daughter of Marquis Cheng En, who was so flamboyant in the past that she could outspokenly admire Jiang Xu in the golden palace, was sent to the mansion of her deadly enemy by her cowardly brother to seek freedom. Bao, the consequences can be imagined.

The women of these aristocratic families are all delicate flowers raised in deep houses. Born in high families, their lives cannot be controlled by others, and their prosperity and loss are inseparable from their families.

When they are in prosperity, they are really colorful and eye-catching, but without the nourishment of the power at their peak, they can't even be in a corner, and they will only be trampled and trampled by the rainstorm, and they will be smashed into mud.

Jiang Xu said again: "How much is sincerity worth? She owes me kindness to this king, and this king will keep her safe for the rest of her life."

"Wait, yes?"

"Come here, see off the guests."

That day when Jiang Xu said "you are kind", he ordered someone to send him out of the camp. He was extremely curious, but he still couldn't find out the cause and effect from Jiang Xu's mouth. However, since Jiang Xu promised to keep her life safe, perhaps marrying into the Dingbei Palace would be the best destination for this young lady of the Ming family.

And what I saw today, this young lady of the Ming family seems to be very fond of her future husband - thinking of this, Shu Jingran couldn't help laughing, and like Zhang Huaiyu, she looked at Jiang Xu playfully.

After Ming Tan bowed his knees and did not get up, Jiang Xu was silent for a while before saying: "Miss Ming doesn't need to be too polite."

Ming Tan slowly stood up straight, still bowing his head, deliberately showing half of his fair and delicate neck, even the angle facing Jiang Xu, he tried to be the most perfect.

There was nothing Bai Minmin and Zhou Jingwan didn't understand, they silently took half a step back, not daring to disturb the little lady's screen.

But Zhang Huaiyu, who has no eyesight to see, just suppressed his laughter and let it go, and couldn't help but interjected: "From now on, we will be a family, so of course there is no need to be polite!"

Hearing this, Ming Tan's eyelashes lowered again, and his neck was dyed crimson.

Just when Ming Tan was thinking about how to say a few more words to her future husband in a logical manner, Ming Chu's high-spirited and familiar voice came from not far away: "Cousin, I really underestimated you , if it is really a biting dog, don’t bark.”

"I don't know if a biting dog barks or not. Mad dogs bark and bark all the time." Shen Hua's voice was as gentle as ever.

"You!" Mingchu was exasperated.

The two seemed to be walking towards the resting side of the back mountain, and the voice was getting closer. It was slightly intermittent before, but now it is very clear.

Mingchu: "Don't think that if you meet the second son of Li Siye's family as you wish, this marriage will definitely come true, and Li Siye is only a sixth-rank official. What are you proud of? After meeting Ming Tan If you don’t, you have to kowtow and salute!”

"It's right to salute the princess, I'm afraid that some people don't even have the chance to salute."

"Who cares about this opportunity!" Mingchu laughed angrily, "Shen Hua, Shen Hua, you are really able to stretch and bend. I heard that before I returned to Beijing, you two got along very well. Why, seeing that he is going to be Now that the princess is here, you want Baba to join her?"

"Don't think I don't know. In order to please Ming Tan, I took your brother's news and took her to the capital camp to spy on the prince. Your brother doesn't know? You are really cruel to your brother. What can't you do for the sake of glory and wealth?!"

"...?"

Ming Tan closed his eyes.

I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.
