Before Ming Zizhan could finish his introduction, Mingyu had already swooped over and hugged Yan Mingzhu's arm, very intimately.
"What a coincidence, Zhuzhu. Are you here to go shopping too?"
Yan Mingzhu smiled gently and said, "Come out and do some errands."
Ming Zizhan looked at the two girls, who were deeply in love with each other, talking to each other, with a confused look on his face, "Ayu, do you know this girl?"
Mingyu nodded, "Of course we know each other. As I told you and my second brother a few days ago, the third girl of the Yan family, Yan Mingzhu, has a very similar name to our aunt. The only difference is the girl's surname.
Brother, have you forgotten?"
Hearing this, Ming Zizhan recalled with a sudden realization, "So you are that Miss Yan San. I didn't expect that your skills are so extraordinary. You are truly a woman. No wonder even a man with such a temper like my eldest brother is full of praise for you."
.
What a pity. That day at the eldest princess’s mansion, I heard that Miss Yan San performed a blindfolded archery performance, with perfect accuracy, which was amazing. It’s a pity that I had something to do and didn’t go there that day, so I missed such a wonderful scene!”
Mingyu clicked her tongue twice and mercilessly dismantled her brother: "Nonsense, second brother, you clearly had another fight with Mr. Zhuang from Duke Zhuang's Mansion, so you were punished by your father to kneel in the ancestral hall, and that's why you missed Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.
’s birthday.”
Having his shortcomings exposed in front of Yan Mingzhu, Mr. Ming felt a little ashamed. He quickly covered Mingyu's mouth and said, "Sister, are you so willing to undermine your brother? Do you, my second brother, don't want to face me?"
"
Yan Mingzhu saw how innocent and innocent the two brothers and sisters were, and immediately felt a sense of relief from the elder seeing the younger generation living a happy life.
When Ming Zizhan was poking Mingyu's face to vent his anger, he accidentally noticed the look in Yan Mingzhu's eyes. I wonder if it was his imagination. Why did he feel that this look... was like the elders in the family watching the younger ones playing around?
"Miss Yan San, I...is there anything dirty on our faces?"
Yan Mingzhu's eyes were gentle, but there was an air of sassiness in the air, "Ayu just said, Mr. Ming, you didn't go to the eldest princess's house to celebrate your birthday that day, was it because you had a fight with the young master of Zhuang Guogong's house?"
When it comes to Zhuang Ke, Ming Zizhan doesn't have a good face, "That guy and I have disliked each other since we were born. We were probably enemies in the previous life, and it was the kind of blood feud.
But the fight that day was not my fault, he was the one who started it. I picked a victorious general and when I was about to pay for it, he came out and snatched it away.
I originally wanted to reason with him, but he threw the money in my face. Can I bear this humiliation? Then...ahem, we started a fight, but I didn't lose. If it weren't for Jing
When the people from Zhaofu come, I will beat him and call him daddy!"
Yan Mingzhu chuckled and said, "Although Young Master Zhuang is a bit naughty, he is not unreasonable. Why have you and him not gotten along with each other since you were young?"
Before Ming Zizhan could answer, Mingyu had already leaned into her ear and said: "Of course there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Zhuang Ke claimed to be the number one overlord in the imperial capital, so my second brother was not happy. As soon as the two met,
Just pinching each other is a common occurrence."
The grievances between boys always arise so inexplicably and naturally.
Yan Mingzhu stopped asking, and Mingyu asked her again: "Zhuzhu, you just said you were going to do something. What are you doing? Do you need our help?"
"If you are not busy, I do have a small favor here and I would like your help."
Ming Zizhan agreed without hesitation: "No need to be polite to us, Miss Yan San just says it!"
Yan Mingzhu took out a blueprint from her sleeves and handed it to them, "I would like to ask the pawnshop whether anyone has pawned this gilded green hairpin in the past few days. If someone has pawned it, this person's surname is
Who is his name and what does he look like?
Because there are quite a lot of pawnshops in the imperial capital, I'm afraid it will take me a few days by myself, so I'm going to bother Mr. Ming and Ayu."
Ming Zizhan immediately waved his hand and said: "What's the trouble with such a small matter? I'll just let my younger brothers handle it. I'm sure it will take half a day to get the result!"
After taking the drawings, Ming Zizhan found two young masters, handed them the drawings, and repeated Yan Mingzhu's request to them.
"Tell everyone under my command to be quick with their hands and feet. Before dark today, I want the results. If they are found out, I will treat you all to a drink someday!"
The young masters responded repeatedly: "Boss, why are you so polite to us? It's a great honor for us to serve for you!"
When these young masters were going to do things, Ming Zizhan raised his chin at Yan Mingzhu with a proud look on his face, "I've given the orders, Miss Yan San just needs to sit back and wait for the results."
Yan Mingzhu was amused by his expression, nodded and said: "Second Master Ming is indeed very charismatic. To express my gratitude, I invite you to the teahouse to have tea and listen to books. How about that?"
Naturally, Mingyu happily followed Yan Mingzhu, and Ming Zizhan did not refuse.
But before going to listen to the book, Ming Zizhan did not forget to deal with the young master named Zhu.
When the young man came to his senses and wanted to run away, Ming Zizhan grabbed him back.
"Where are you going? I allow you to go?"
How could the young master have thought that he would offend the second young master of the Ming family, a well-known overlord in the imperial capital, as famous as Zhuang Ke, the young master of Duke Zhuang's mansion!
"Second Master Ming, please spare my life. It's my fault that I can't see Taishan. I should be beaten. I should be beaten. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please give me a chance to change my ways, Mr. Ming!"
After saying that, the young master slapped himself several times, which can be said to be a cruel person.
Ming Zizhan kicked him on the butt, "Kowtow to this girl and admit your mistake, and pay another fifty taels. Girl, is fifty taels enough?"
The girl in plain clothes was so moved when she saw someone taking the initiative for her that she nodded repeatedly.
The young master knelt down with a thump and his forehead banged on the ground.
"Girl, I was obsessed for a moment and offended you. Please forgive me. This is fifty taels of silver. Please accept it!"
After the girl in plain clothes collected the money, Ming Zizhan added another word, "Okay, you can get out of here, it's just an eyesore for me."
The young master didn't even dare to fart, so he just rolled away.
Ming Zizhan was about to go listen to books with Yan Mingzhu and the others when he saw the girl in plain clothes coming to him in a few steps and kneeling down with a plop.
He even swallowed and said: "Young Master saved the little girl. From now on, the little girl will be the Young Master's slave, and she will work as a cow or a horse for the Young Master without any hesitation!"
Ming Zizhan was startled. When he heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly, "I saved you just because I couldn't stand that gangster. I don't need you to be my slave. You can bury your father properly."
