Chapter 103 Jealousy(1/2)
Author: Sigui Beihong
"Master, come quickly!" Mo Yunxiang walked briskly towards the private room on the second floor. Zhao Mingcheng never expected that she was asking him to be alone. He was very embarrassed for a moment, but he felt like he was riding a tiger and had no choice but to follow behind.
Yun Xiang pushed the door open and entered an elegant room. Danzhu and Du Juan followed him in. Zhao Mingcheng looked around until he reached the end.
Yun Xiang looked at the decoration of the elegant room, smiled and said to Du Juan: "Go and prepare a pot of Huzhou snow buds, and two plates of fried longan and melon seeds."
Du Juan did not agree, but just came up and said, "Second Miss, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."
Yun Xiang was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, Zhao Mingcheng had already walked in. Du Juan was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. He could only stamp his feet anxiously and said, "This Mr. Zhao is the eldest girl's friend."
Yun Xiang's smile gradually froze. Du Juan could see a faint hint of disappointment and frustration in her eyes, but she suddenly raised her eyelids, and her eyes were glowing again.
"Even so, it doesn't matter." Yun Xiang tilted his head and asked Zhao Mingcheng: "Sir, would you like to have a bowl of tea from me?"
"Ah?" Zhao Mingcheng is a thin-skinned person. How could he say he was unwilling in such a situation? He could only reluctantly nodded and said, "Girl, I'm kind enough to accompany you."
Yun Xiang smiled proudly, and then said to Du Juan: "You go ahead, I will tell the eldest daughter if something happens."
"Second Miss..." Du Juan didn't know how to dissuade her, so she could only sigh and turned around to leave.
When she passed Zhao Mingcheng, she didn't forget to give him a look, making his face red and hot.
She exited and closed the door. She couldn't help but feel angry in her heart and complained: "This gentleman is really passionate. When he asked to see you, he looked passionate. As soon as he turned his face, he went to the second girl again. Alas, he is a slut."
!”
Inadvertently, she looked downstairs and realized that all the tea guests were looking at her.
Du Juan took a breath of cold air and felt extremely embarrassed, so she could only leave in a hurry under the gaze of everyone.
"Who is this Mr. Zhao?", "Looks like Saburo from Zhao Ting's family.", "Oh! He is also an official, no wonder he is so noble."
…
The tea guests were chatting with each other like this. Even though a sign was hung to suspend story-telling today, the tea guests had no intention of leaving.
In the private room, Yun Xiang and Zhao Mingcheng were sitting opposite each other, while Danzhu was making tea soup. She understood what the owner meant just by looking at each other.
She ordered the bowl of tea more slowly and made the guests wait longer. Only in this way could Yunxiang chat with him easily.
Yun Xiang sat on the couch, with her green hands on the table, gently supporting her perfectly beautiful face.
Among the three sisters of the Mo family, although Yunxiang is not as beautiful as the eldest daughter Yunxiao, she is far better than the third daughter Yunxi.
Zhang Yun'er is a complete beauty. Even after many years, her skin is still white and translucent eroded by time, and her exquisite facial features can always fascinate some lustful people.
Yunxiang completely inherited her mother's beauty, and as she was in her prime, her collagen-rich cheeks were even more adorable than her mother's.
Yun Xiang showed a slight smile, with bright eyes, white teeth, red lips and pink cheeks. Anyone who looked at her would praise her. However, Zhao Mingcheng just lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at her.
"Sir, may I ask your name?" Yun Xiang spoke first.
"I am Zhao Mingcheng, whose cursive name is Defu, and I am the third in the family." Zhao Mingcheng raised his hand and saluted, and continued: "You can call me Defu or Sanlang, girl."
"Oh, Sanlang." Yun Xiang said with a smile: "My surname is Mo, my nickname is Yun Xiang. You can call me Sanlang whatever you want."
Zhao Mingcheng smiled reluctantly and said, "Is this girl the younger brother of Shopkeeper Mo?"
"Come on, Sanlang, have a sip of slave's tea." She took the tea ordered by Danzhu and gently handed it to Zhao Mingcheng, saying, "Yes, shopkeeper Mo is slave's sister."
Zhao Mingcheng took the tea but did not drink it. He just put it aside and asked: "I heard from Miss Dujuan just now that your dear brother is ill. I want to see you but I can't. I'll ask Miss Yunxiang to come for me later."
greeting."
"It's easy to talk about." Yun Xiang replied with a smile. At this time, all her thoughts were on Zhao Mingcheng, and she couldn't care about anything else.
Zhao Mingcheng took a sip of tea and praised: "Good tea. The tea from Minglou is indeed fragrant and well-deserved."
Yun Xiang laughed and said, "It's a pity that we lost the tea recipe, otherwise this tea would be even more unique."
"Oh?" Zhao Mingcheng thought for a while and said as if talking to himself: "I have heard that the reason why Minglou's tea spreads all over the country is just the tea recipe. But now..."
"Oh, now, everything is gone." Yun Xiang said with some sadness: "Young master, you don't know something. My family's tea and medicine prescriptions never fall off the paper, they are only kept in the hearts of my father and daughter-in-law. Later, something happened to my family.
Something happened, my father died in prison, and my brother lost his memory, so..."
"Wait!" Zhao Mingcheng suddenly interrupted her and asked: "What? You said He Lu..."
"Yes, she has lost her memory." Yun Xiang looked at him and said, "Because of this, the tea prescription has naturally disappeared."
"That's it!" Zhao Mingcheng nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that my dear brother would have such a tortuous past. It's really hard."
"Hey, whatever the pain is, it's over." Yun Xiang moved slightly and said with a smile: "You just talked about her, why didn't you ask me?"
Zhao Mingcheng smiled awkwardly and said, "It's enough for me to know that the girl is He Lu's younger brother."
Yun Xiang frowned and said anxiously: "What? In your heart, you only have Mo Yunxiao, who is as cold as a stone, but you don't have a big living person like me?"
"Miss Yunxiang, you and I just met by chance, how can we talk about it?" Zhao Mingcheng also smiled slightly and said: "Maybe the girl doesn't know your female brother very well. In my opinion, she is by no means a piece of stone.
A piece of jade, a crystal clear jade.”
"She..." Yun Xiang said hurriedly: "Then she is Baoyu, what am I?"
Before Zhao Mingcheng could answer, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the house. "Who is it?" Yun Xiang asked angrily.
"Second Miss, little Huan'er, come and say a few words to Mr. Zhao." Huan'er's voice came.
Yun Xiang was filled with jealousy and reprimanded: "There are no rules! You retreat first, I will deal with it later."
"The younger one is here at the order of the eldest girl." Huan'er said, "Elder sisters are like mothers, how can the second girl delay?"
"This..." Yun Xiang didn't know how to reply, and looked at Danzhu anxiously, who also had a confused look on his face.
However, when Zhao Mingcheng heard that it was Mo Yunxiao, he quickly ran to open the door without waiting for Yunxiang to say anything. Yunxiang wanted to stop him, but how could he stop him in such a flash of light?
"Miss Huan'er!" Zhao Mingcheng looked at her excitedly as if he had met a savior.
Huan'er covered her mouth and smiled, saluted and said: "Young Master Zhao, you are being polite here. My girl is ill and cannot see you. She is said to be very frightened. Since the Young Master is so kind, you might as well stay here to see my girl in three days."
Zhao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Is this really what Miss Mo said?"
"Yes, it was indeed my girl who said it." Huan'er replied with a smile.
Yun Xiang was anxious and rushed over and said, "Why is my female brother so domineering? There is no reason to break in and rob someone!"
Huan'er smiled and said: "Second girl, the younger one has never broken into the door. This is one. Mr. Zhao is here today for my girl. This is the other. In terms of emotion and reason, it is time for the eldest girl to speak."
Yun Xiang's face turned red with anger and said: "The eldest female brother, she also... She also... the official, he..."
"Second Miss!" Huan'er interrupted her immediately. He knew what she was going to say next without asking. Only Zhao Mingcheng was at a loss.
Huan'er took a breath and said, "The elder girl has her own sense of discretion. I will explain to the second girl later."
"But..." Yun Xiang was still aggrieved.
Huan'er leaned over and reminded in a low voice: "Second girl, this is in Minglou, in front of Mr. Zhao, and you have to take care of the Mo family's face."
Yun Xiang was stunned, gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need to teach me!" Then he could only stamp his feet and turn his back.
Huan'er then said to Zhao Mingcheng: "Young Master is laughing. If you are young, please remember that I will see you in Minglou in three days."
As she spoke, she raised her hand as a sign of seeing off guests. Zhao Mingcheng also had this intention, so he saluted Yun Xiang, who had his back turned to him, and said, "Mingcheng thanks you two ladies for your kindness and hospitality."
Then he followed Huan'er downstairs. After the two left, Yun Xiang turned around again, looked at their backs and stamped his feet in annoyance.
Huan'er brought Zhao Mingcheng to the gate of Minglou and stopped. Zhao Mingcheng also saluted her and was about to leave.
Huan'er whispered, "Mr. Zhao, I'd like to remind you, don't get too close to my second daughter."
Zhao Mingcheng blushed and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, Miss Huan'er misunderstood, we..."
Huan'er gently patted his wrist, nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, Mr. Zhao can't help himself. I have no other intention, I just remind him that my second girl is not a virtuous and virtuous woman.
so……"
She didn't finish her words, but Zhao Mingcheng should have understood the meaning.
As expected, he nodded knowingly and asked, "Is this what Miss Mo also conveyed?"
"No." Huan'er said, "This is a piece of advice from the bottom of my heart. You must not say it to others."
Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said: "The girl's kindness is with me."
Huan'er smiled and said, "Okay, I won't see you off if you go far away. My girl will be waiting here in three days."
Zhao Mingcheng said goodbye and left, but Huan'er watched him off for a long time and couldn't help but sigh: "This Mr. Zhao is much more decent than the official family. Alas, it's a pity..."
She shook her head helplessly, then turned back and returned to Mo Yunxiao's boudoir Zhengqixuan.
Mo Yunxiao was still sitting there, with Miss Wang accompanying her. Li Qingzhao hadn't woken up yet.
Seeing her coming back, Mo Yunxiao asked, "Are you going to talk?"
"I told you." Huan'er replied, "Call Mr. Zhao back in three days."
Mo Yunxiao nodded, still frowning: "That's very good. I tied this knot, and I have to untie it."
Miss Xiao Wang also did not forget to comment: "Fortunately, Sister Dujuan came to inform us, otherwise we would not have known about Sister Yunxiang..."
"Hey!" Huan'er interrupted her, pretending to scold her and said, "Young kid, what do you know?"
