Chapter 187 Colorful Temperament
Chapter 187 Colorful Temperament
Xiao Mingli and Liang Chuanlong hurried back to Kyoto one day before the Xiao family's spring outing. Looking at the Kyoto city gate in front of him, Xiao Mingli smiled with satisfaction.
Behind him, Ryokawa Taki looked pale and almost fell down.
When he said that he wanted to get to Kyoto earlier, he was just being polite. He didn't expect that Xiao Mingli would be so rude. It felt like sparks were about to come out of the wheels of the carriage. Did Xiao Mingli want to see his brother so much?
Liangchuan Long felt like vomiting when looking at the tall city gate. He originally wanted to ride a horse, but Xiao Mingli said it was unreasonable, which made him dizzy all the way.
"Master Xiao, now we..."
"Oh, I forgot that you, the Seventh Prince, are still here. Go to the inn by yourself later. You know the way anyway. I'll go home first."
Ryokawa Taki:?
Xiao Mingli just raised his foot, then as if remembering something, he turned around and walked in front of Liangchuan Long, snatched the Water Dragon Star Sword, and then handed it to his follower.
"You take the sword to Honglu Temple."
So the team behind Xiao Mingli left with swords in a grand manner, and suddenly only Liangchuan Taki and Xiao Mingli were left at the city gate.
Liangchuan Taki was confused.
"Xiao..Master Xiao, how can I go?"
"Yes."
Xiao Mingli thought of this question, so he picked out the smallest piece of silver from his purse and handed it to Liang Chuanlong.
"Travel expenses."
Ryokawa Taki: ...
After Xiao Mingli finished explaining everything, he happily returned home, leaving Liangchuan Taki alone and in a mess.
On the other side, Jiang Tunan and Chunhua talked for a long time after returning to the room. Jiang Tunan was basically telling about what he saw and heard along the way, while Chunhua moved a small stool and sat quietly next to Jiang Tunan to listen.
"Miss, your journey was extremely dangerous. But who could have rescued Hua Bei?"
Chunhua propped up her chin and looked at Jiang Tunan, her eyes full of curiosity. Jiang Tunan saw how cute Chunhua was and couldn't help but rub her face.
"I don't know, but it has nothing to do with me. Why think so much? Besides, the more you know, the faster you'll die. We can just lie down and eat and drink for free."
Chunhua was a little confused, what does it mean to lie down and do nothing? But what the lady said must be right, so Chunhua nodded in agreement with Jiang Tunan.
"Oh, by the way, Miss, someone outside sent you a letter today. I think it looks like someone from Mozhuxuan."
Jiang Tunan's heart skipped a beat. It was over. She had forgotten about this!
Can the targets given by Boss Wen Zhu be achieved?
Chunhua watched Jiang Tunan open the envelope and read the contents. His expression became very strange, so Chunhua asked,
"What's wrong Miss? Is there something wrong with Mozhuxuan?"
Jiang Tunan put down the letter in his hand.
"In his letter, Manager Wang asked me to go to Mozhuxuan, saying that he had something to discuss, but he didn't say what it was."
But Mozhuxuan is backed by Zhuying Pavilion anyway, so nothing serious will happen. Maybe Manager Wang is just looking for me to settle the bill. I didn't expect that my first business here would end in failure. I hope Wenzhu can scold me less because I saved him once.
"Let's talk about it after we get back from the spring outing tomorrow. I don't have much time right now. Chunhua, go and write a letter to Mozhuxuan for me."
"Yes."
Chunhua immediately went to do it after receiving the order. She wanted to ask someone to pass the message directly at the gate, but when she left the yard, she saw Fule standing in a daze at the gate. Chunhua thought of Fule's previous attitude towards Jiang Tunan, and felt a little unhappy. The young lady was kind-hearted and didn't care about others, but she couldn't let this newcomer bully the young lady, so she changed direction and walked in front of Fule.
Ben lazily leaned against the wall, feeling very bored. As he was in a daze, Jiang Tunan's maid walked up to him.
"What are you doing?"
Chunhua put her hands on her hips and said in a manner of a maid in charge,
"You, go help the young lady with something!"
"Don't go."
He refused without a second thought. He was not a real servant. He was just here to protect Jiang Tunan's safety.
"You! How dare you disobey the young lady's orders!"
"Why should I listen to a little girl?"
Chunhua was irritated by Fu's attitude, but she couldn't do anything to him, so she could only stomp her feet and leave.
"You wait!"
He gave up and didn't take Chunhua's words to heart. He still leaned lazily against the wall with his eyes closed to rest.
Chunhua was no longer able to obey orders, so she had to find a servant at the gate to deliver the message as planned. She returned to the courtyard only after the task was completed.
"Second Young Master? Why are you here?"
As soon as Chunhua approached the yard, she saw Xiao Mingli pacing back and forth outside the gate. He looked a little nervous.
"Second Young Master, are you here to see the young lady? Why don't you go in first?"
Chunhua was the only maid in Jiangtu's South Courtyard, so Xiao Mingli had been outside the courtyard for so long but no one came to greet him. However, there were special servants to do the rough work such as sweeping and washing clothes on weekdays, so Chunhua didn't have much work to do. It was just that she finally had one more person, but in the end, he was just eating for free.
"Well, my cousin is resting. If she is resting, I will come next time."
Chunhua immediately shook her head and denied it.
"No, no, the young lady is reading a storybook in her room."
Jiang Tunan heard the noise outside the room, so he got up and went out to check. Unexpectedly, he saw Xiao Mingli.
"Cousin Mingli? Aren't you in Yuxi County?"
"I have finished my official duties in Yuxi County, so I hastened my journey and returned before the spring outing."
Jiang Tunan: Ah, then I have to go on a spring outing with the male lead, danger! !
Seeing that Jiang Tunan looked unhappy, Xiao Mingli hesitated and said,
"Cousin, don't you want me to come back?"
"Of course not!"
Jiang Tunan immediately denied it, thinking it was a joke. How could he say such words of dislike to the male lead in front of him? If the male lead held a grudge against him, he would be in trouble.
"That's fine,"
Xiao Mingli's eyes were somewhat happy, but his tone was still somewhat cautious.
"I heard that Mingxu and Mingrui took you to Yuzhulou for dinner, as a way of welcoming you, but I was not there because I had official business. I thought about it and decided to show my appreciation, so I picked out a gift for you. I hope you don't mind."
Xiao Mingli handed the box hidden behind him to Jiang Tunan. He opened the box and found a hairpin inside. It looked like an ordinary style and was inlaid with some colorful gems that Jiang Tunan couldn't name.
Jiang Tunan is a little speechless. Is this the straight male aesthetic?
"I have received the kindness from my cousin Mingli, but you should take the hairpin back. I feel embarrassed to always take your things."
Chunhua looked at Jiang Tunan in confusion, thinking that the young lady was not so polite when she accepted things from the second and fourth young masters before, and the young lady said at that time that she could not get along with anyone except money.
Jiang Tunan was being very polite. In fact, she didn't dare to accept it. After all, she had seen the fighting power of Xiao Mingli's fanatical fans before. If they knew that Xiao Mingli gave her a hairpin, it would be a disaster. Just Meng Yao alone would make her suffer.
Xiao Mingli felt a little disappointed, but his face was still gentle.
"If you don't like it, I'll change it to something else next time. But I think this hairpin suits you very well..."
Jiang Tunan smacked her lips in her heart, if she wore this hairpin, a ray of sunlight would create a rainbow on her head. Could it be that in Xiao Mingli's eyes, her temperament was colorful?
Xiao Mingli took the hairpin from the box and said slowly,
"This hairpin does look plain, but if you press this red gem, it will become a sharp dagger..."
Xiao Mingli pressed lightly on the ruby on the hairpin, and a blade suddenly popped out from the end of the hairpin, flashing a cold light.
