Chapter 159: Silver-Faced Man
Chapter 159: Silver-Faced Man
"Come in!" Chu Mingzheng stood up and straightened his clothes, and told Lu Mingyang: "Pick out a coat for me."
"Isn't that your sister?" Although Lu Mingyang said he was disgusted, he still went to the closet to pick out clothes.
"Little girl, you've grown up and you're always different." Chu Mingzheng fastened his clothes and looked at the girl standing in the distance, holding her outer clothes motionlessly, and urged, "Come here!"
Then he opened his arms very naturally.
Is this for him to wear?
Just wear it. It's because of them that I get a monthly salary, so I have to do some work! Lu Mingyang prepared himself mentally and walked over.
The slender jade hand wandered across her chest, smoothing her clothes, and Chu Mingzheng suddenly grabbed it.
"Yangyang, my sister's name is..."
"Ling'er, I know." Lu Mingyang smiled awkwardly: "We talked yesterday!"
"What did you say?" Chu Mingzheng asked.
Lu Mingyang continued to laugh awkwardly.
"Brother, brother!"
At this time, a cheerful little girl ran in holding the hem of her crescent-white skirt. Lu Mingyang quickly pulled his hand away and took two steps back.
Princess Qinghe paused her cheerful steps when she saw Chu Mingzheng. The two white hairpins in her hair swayed gently, making a light and pleasant sound. The smile on her face had not yet faded, but a hint of uneasiness appeared on her face.
After all, we haven't seen each other for many years. Although we feel close to each other, I don't know how to get along with each other.
Chu Mingzheng also felt a little embarrassed. He took two steps forward, patted her shoulder gently, and said lovingly, "You've grown into a beautiful girl."
Princess Qinghe blushed suddenly, glanced out the window silently, and said softly, "Really?"
A very girly and delicate demeanor.
Chu Mingzheng followed her gaze but saw nothing. He glimpsed Lu Mingyang about to leave, so he quickly took her hand and introduced her, "This is your eldest sister-in-law!"
"Hmph!" Princess Qinghe pouted and widened her eyes.
Lu Mingyang gave Chu Mingzheng a dry laugh and said, "You guys talk, you guys talk!"
"What's going on?" Chu Mingzheng refused to let her go.
"She doesn't want to be my eldest sister-in-law!" Princess Qinghe muttered a lot, feeling more and more aggrieved, and finally burst into tears.
"Your sister-in-law didn't mean that!" Chu Mingzheng didn't know how to explain. He was frantically trying to comfort his sister while seeking help from Lu Mingyang.
Lu Mingyang responded with a sympathetic smile. He couldn't do anything, so what could she, his enemy, do?
"do not Cry!"
The sharp roar was a bit scary. The little girl's crying stopped midway in fear.
Chu Mingzheng helped his younger sister sit down and asked gently, "What do you want to eat?"
"Let me think about it!" Princess Qinghe wiped the tears from her face and added, "Don't let her eat it."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Chu Mingzheng looked at Lu Mingyang and smiled helplessly.
Before Princess Qinghe could come up with a plan, Zheng Hao had already led people to set up all kinds of snacks from the capital. Since the food tray on the couch couldn't hold any more, they placed it on the desk beside it.
Princess Qinghe ate the delicious snacks, and her unhappiness disappeared.
When Lu Mingyang thought the matter was over, Chu Mingzheng put his arm around her and sat down, explaining for her, "There are many rules in the palace. Your sister-in-law is worried that you'll be laughed at."
He didn't want his beloved sister to know those things, and he didn't know how long he thought about it before he finally came up with this reason for her.
Princess Qinghe looked up at Lu Mingyang and nodded confusedly, which meant she had temporarily forgiven her.
Lu Mingyang felt that this was actually unnecessary.
Chu Mingzheng, on the other hand, was visibly relieved and asked, "Where's your second brother?"
"Second brother! He hurt you yesterday and is a little afraid to see you." Princess Qinghe said, pulling out a bottle of medicine from her bosom. "Second brother asked me to give it to you."
"This silly boy!"
Chu Mingzheng took the medicine and thought that he would see him again at the clan house tomorrow, so he stopped asking about his younger brother and talked to his sister about her life over the years, including their father, mother, and the home they once shared.
Lu Mingyang was bored, so she took away her plate of snacks to make room for new ones. At that moment, she suddenly felt that having a brother was not bad.
Princess Qinghe picked out some of her favorite snacks while eating and put them in her handkerchief. Chu Mingzheng was surprised: "Why are you picking them out? If you like them, I'll have someone buy some more and send them to you."
"No, I'll let him have a taste!"
"Who is he?" Chu Mingzheng looked at his sister's smile and had a bad feeling.
Princess Qinghe raised her head, her cheeks flushed red: "Brother, I came here this time to ask you for something."
"……marriage?"
Princess Qinghe widened her eyes in shock: "How did you know?"
Chu Mingzheng felt a pang of sadness: "I figured it out!"
"Brother, he's really nice. I want to marry him." Princess Qinghe shook Chu Mingzheng's arm and said coquettishly, "Please talk to Mother for me. Mother will definitely listen to what you say."
That means the family background is not good.
"If he really has real talent and knowledge, it's not impossible." Chu Mingzheng asked, "Who is he?"
Seeing his sister remained silent, Chu Mingzheng guessed, "A student from a poor family?"
Princess Qinghe shook her head.
"Soldiers in the army?"
Still shaking his head.
"merchant?"
This was the limit of Chu Mingzheng's guess, but his sister still didn't say anything. He said helplessly: "How can I help you if you don't tell me?"
Princess Qinghe gritted her teeth and said, "He is a refugee from the Yanmen Pass area, who fled to Jinyang."
"Refugees?" Even though Chu Mingzheng didn't care about family background, he got angry when he heard these two words, "No, absolutely not!"
"You haven't even seen him, how do you know he's no match for you?" Princess Qinghe was so anxious she wanted to cry. "His martial arts skills are truly formidable. Seriously, you and my second brother combined can't beat him."
Chu Mingzheng snorted coldly.
In this world, there are a few people who he cannot defeat, but there is no one who can defeat him.
Adding it all together, if that person had some success in kung fu, it would be enough for him to be a security guard in a wealthy family, and he would never end up living on the streets as a vagrant.
"Don't you dare disbelieve me?" Princess Qinghe slammed her palm on the table and said angrily, "What will happen if he defeats you?"
Chu Mingzheng said, "Don't even mention defeating me. If he can last ten moves against me, I'll agree to your request."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Princess Qinghe directly pulled Chu Mingzheng out.
A man in black stood beside the pavilion. From the back, he looked tall and handsome, but he was wearing a silver mask, so his face could not be seen clearly.
Seeing the masked man, the little girl who had just been aggressive and aggressive immediately turned into a well-behaved and gentle little girl, shyly tugging at the man's sleeve.
"Brother Zhou, my eldest brother is a martial arts fanatic. He wants to learn martial arts from you."
The masked man looked at Prince Ningyuan approaching from a distance and whispered, "Princess, His Highness is still injured."
The voice was very low, obviously not wanting Chu Mingzheng to hear. However, Chu Mingzheng had excellent hearing. He pulled Lu Mingyang and slowly approached the two of them: "No problem, just a sparring match! But sir, should you show your true face?"
