MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 25
Due to the suddenness of the incident and the shock, Ming Tan's mind went blank for a moment. She forgot to stop it at the first moment, and it was too late to react.
Although Shen Hua didn't recognize it, and blocked her back with the principle of being cautious in words and deeds and not talking indiscriminately, she didn't know how Mingchu's mouth could be so babbling. sentence.
And he didn't understand the reason why two people should do things together, and he never forgot to talk about Ming Tan in his words, and in a few words, he described Ming Tan as a vixen with two faces in front of him and another in front of him, pretending to be ostentatious all day long.
"...Do you think that she will really look at you if you do this little fuss? Look at her beautifully dressed today, and she doesn't need to look at her. Who will she come to the temple to look at? Isn't it just to attract you? You and I look at other people's attention, I don't want you and my marriage to go smoothly."
The back mountain is very quiet, and the clear voice becomes clearer and louder.
Ming Tan's mind was buzzing, and he felt that the image of being talented, beautiful, quiet and courteous that he carefully created today is collapsing in front of his future husband.
What's more terrible is that her little head, which is usually very bright, can't even think of an idea to restore her image at this moment.
It was only when she heard Ming Chu babbing to Fengzhao Princess that she remembered the trick she used to deal with Fengzhao that day-thirty-six tricks, and fainting is the best strategy!
"Ah, Ah Tan?"
"Adan, are you alright?"
Seeing Ming Tan's body swaying suddenly and covering her forehead as if dizzy, Bai Minmin and Zhou Jingwan hurriedly supported her.
Thinking of Zhou Jingwan's weak body, Ming Tan's heart swayed, his head tilted, and he leaned directly on Bai Minmin's body, then he closed his eyes tightly, making up his mind to pretend to be dizzy.
Jiang Xu: "..."
Zhang Huaiyu, Shu Jingran, and the invisible Lu Ting all twitched their lips in unison.
Bai Minmin was somewhat startled and uncertain, for a moment she didn't know whether Ming Tan was pretending to be dizzy or really dizzy. After all, it's not impossible for a face-saving person like Ming Tan to be **** off by his concubine sister in front of his fiancé-in-law.
Not far away, upon hearing this movement, Mingchu's babbling mouth finally stopped.
She stepped forward quickly, and saw a mess ahead, Ming Tan leaned on Bai Minmin with her eyes closed tightly, Zhou Jingwan and all the servant girls were anxiously calling "A Tan" and "Miss", if it wasn't for the fact that they were still standing nearby. Four strange men who were quite calm, she thought that God had the power to make this little vixen die suddenly on the spot.
She was amused, and said subconsciously, "You're pretending to be dizzy again."
Ming Tan pretending to be dizzy: "..."
Mingchu was about to step forward to watch a good show, when the man in the pine green brocade patterned long coat suddenly said, "Chasing Shadow."
A dark figure flashed out from nowhere, and stood respectfully with bowed head.
The man said again: "Please come here, doctor, it's a symptom of summer heat."
"What kind of heat syndrome, she is clearly pretending to be dizzy." Mingchu's tone was not as ostentatious as before, she looked up and down the man in the pine green brocade pattern dress in front of her, with her hands behind her back, her eyes were amazed The meaning is not concealed, "I don't know who you are, and why are you here?"
Ming Tan, who was still pretending to be dizzy, heard the interest in Ming Chu's tone, and almost sat up straight from Bai Minmin's arms.
Mistake. These days, he was so busy with the gift of marriage that he didn't even bother to deal with this idiot Mingchu. This idiot is also living too comfortably, how dare he fall in love with her! of! male! people!
Fortunately, her man did not respond.
The idiot continued: "My Fourth Younger Sister's troubles don't need to bother Your Excellency, and she is an engaged woman, if you take action, it may damage her reputation, I'll see—"
In the middle of Mingchu's speech, for some reason, his neck went numb, and he suddenly lost his voice.
She had learned a bit of Three-legged Cat Kungfu, and knew that someone had tapped the Ya acupuncture point. She covered her neck and looked around suspiciously, and then looked at the man in front of her. No, it's impossible, she didn't even see this person make a move!
Not far away, Zhang Huaiyu saw this scene, waved his folding fan, and was quite emotional. It was finally not him who received such treatment today.
...?
Ming Tan closed her eyes, she didn't know what happened, she only knew that this idiot Mingchu didn't finish his sentence, and the surrounding suddenly fell into silence, she deliberately squinted and peeked, but the direction of fainting was not quite right.
It was Zhou Jingwan who observed carefully, and whispered in her ear: "It seems that Ya acupoint was tapped by your future husband."
Dumb point? When Ming Tan heard this, he subconsciously squeezed Bai Minmin's hand.
But she closed her eyes and didn't pay attention, and pinched it into a maid's hand by mistake, and the maid subconsciously exclaimed in surprise: "Miss Si seems to have moved!"
"..."
I don't.
Hearing this, Jiang Xu glanced at her lightly, then glanced back at Shu Jingran.
Shu Jingran hurriedly recovered from the state of watching a good show, covered her lips and coughed lightly, stepped forward and said to Zhou Quan: "Since the fourth lady is suffering from the heat, why don't you go to the side room to rest a little, so you can wait for the doctor."
Zhou Jingwan nodded: "Your Highness Lao, and Second Young Master Lao Shu."
Shu Jingran said: "That's it, we won't bother you any more. It's hot at noon, if nothing happens, the young ladies can go down the mountain after sunset."
After speaking, they left quickly.
Without the people watching the theater, and without the obvious noise, this farce will soon come to an end. Ming Tan also slowly pretended to wake up, and sat up from Bai Minmin.
Looking at the disappearing figures of the group of people, she was stunned for a while. After a long while, she suddenly stood up and went back to the wing room without saying a word.
Seeing that something was wrong with her, Bai Minmin and Zhou Jingwan hurriedly followed her in, but as soon as the door was closed, Ming Tan frantically wandered around the table. After going back and forth for a while, she sat down again, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a drink. After that, he lay down on the couch very peacefully, with his hands folded on his lower abdomen.
"Leave me alone."
Bai Minmin: "..."
Zhou Jingwan: "..."
Ming Tan said quietly, but she kept wondering about her future husband's impression of her, and whether she would receive a letter of resignation when she returned to the mansion, but the sage's golden words, it is impossible to contradict what he said.
Yes, exactly.
Since there is no possibility of going back on promises, then there is no fear of running out of firewood to keep the marriage. When they get married, her husband will definitely find that she is an excellent wife who is both chaste, virtuous, talented and beautiful.
But, it's still good! leave! people! Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Ming Tan covered his face with his hands and rolled on the couch.
She didn't even dare to think carefully about the scene just now, because after just thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help feeling suffocated.
On the other side, the time limit for Mingchu's dumb acupoint has expired, and just now she heard Zhou Jingwan say "Your Majesty", she was full of doubts, and when she was able to speak, she asked a servant girl to find out that the man in the pine green brocade pattern long coat The handsome man is Ming Tan's fiancé-in-law, His Royal Highness King Dingbei!
Mingchu was stunned for a moment, jealousy flooded her seldom rationality completely, she pulled out the soft whip and slammed it hard against the tree with her backhand! At the same time, he suddenly changed his original plan.
Because Ming Tan didn't want to stay in Daxiangguo Temple for a moment, after lunch, the group prepared to return to Jing'anhou Mansion.
It was hot at noon and the main road was not very shaded. The coachman suggested to Mrs. Pei that it would be better to take a detour along the small road, where there are few people and it is quiet and quiet.
Mrs. Pei thought that there would be no danger with the guards and the sky was bright and bright, so she agreed.
When they came here, Ming Tan was in the same carriage as Pei, and Mingchu was in the same carriage as Shen Hua, but on the way back, Mingchu was reluctant and insisted on sharing a carriage with Ming Tan and Pei, making it clear that he didn't want to sit with Shen Hua .
She didn't want to sit with Shen Hua, and Shen Hua didn't want to sit with her much, Pei knew in her heart that the two of them were going to be quarreling because of some petty movements. In the end, it became Pei and Ming Chu, and Shen Hua and Ming Tan.
On the carriage, Shen Hua briefly told Ming Tan about seeing each other—
Earlier, Mrs. Pei arranged for Shen Hua and Mingchu to meet each other. They originally arranged for each of them to be by the release pond and under the blessing tree, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity of feeding the koi in the pond and throwing the wishing red rope on the tree, and they would be fair and honest. Stay for a while, and talk to the man.
Aunt Liu placed someone next to Mrs. Pei, she knew there was such an arrangement, so she secretly manipulated them, took the two to the place where they met each other, and made a mistake.
Unexpectedly, Shen Hua had already found out a thing or two, so he simply used his tricks. Follow the leading woman all the way to Fangsheng Pond to meet the Sixth Young Master of Fengchunhou's Mansion. By the way, I will take a step ahead and send the girl to tell the second young master of Li Siye's family that the meeting place has changed.
Mingchu went under the blessing tree for a while, but realized later, when he rushed to the release pool, the two young masters had already been attracted by Shen Hua.
Although the two young masters kept the etiquette and did not dare to go beyond the rules, they each talked with Shen Hua, as if they were jealous of each other. Seeing this clearly, they were naturally very angry!
After hearing these twists and turns, Ming Tan's depressed mood improved slightly today.
It was hot at noon, but fortunately, the path was shaded by trees, and the wind blowing from the forest was a bit cool.
Ming Tan and Shen Hua were talking, when there was a sudden exclamation from outside the carriage, the two paused, lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see a group of thugs rushing out of the forest in the clear sky and broad daylight!
"Bold! Do you know which chariot and horse this is! It's going to kill you!" The guard in front shouted, raising his scabbard.
The leader of the gangster also raised his chin, and raised the knife in his hand: "We brothers, we only want money, not life! Anyone who is sensible, hand over the gold, silver and jewelry to me!"
The guards of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion are not vegetarians, they can come up to **** all kinds of messy things, what kind of guards do they protect.
The two guards in the front met their eyes, and stopped talking and charged forward with their swords. The guards in the back were also divided into two groups, one group moved forward, and the other group guarded near the carriage, and they fought in an instant.
But when they were fighting with the guards, they found that something was wrong. These gangsters were very well-organized in every move, not like a reckless bandit who rushed up with a knife in his hand, it was very difficult to deal with.
After the gesture was over, the leader of the bandits made a gesture, and soon, a wave of bandits gathered towards the carriage where Shen Hua and Ming Tan were sitting.
The guards around the carriage were overwhelmed for a moment, they cut the curtain with a long knife, and both Shen Hua and Ming Tan were startled.
However, the gangster who cut the curtain was also a little confused, not saying that it would be good to just take away the one who doesn't know kung fu, but the two girls are so weak and weak, they are still sitting in there stupidly, they have no power to resist, and they don't look like they know kung fu look.
After he glanced, no companion could spare time to help him identify.
The two girls pulled out the hairpins together and shouted, "Don't come over!"
Bandit: "..."
These two little girls thought they were pretty fierce.
The guards of the Jing'an Hou Mansion are really brave, the situation is urgent and there is no delay, the gangster looked behind him and ignored it, he just picked a better-looking one, thinking that if it wasn't for his stunning looks, that person wouldn't have to spend this money With so much money, taking such a big risk to remove the threat, he felt that his idea was very reasonable, so he slipped Ming Tan out.
Ming Tan's face was pale, trembling all over, after being lifted out of the carriage, he held up the hairpin to pierce the man.
Unexpectedly, she was thrown onto the horse by the thugs, and the hairpin went down, directly binding the horse madly, raising its front hoof, raising it upwards, and neighing!
The fight was intense, and the situation changed suddenly.
Seeing that Ming Tan was about to be thrown to the ground by the maddened horse, at the very moment, a belt wrapped around the arm of a martial arts practitioner came sharply, wrapped around his waist, and tightened immediately.
For a while, Ming Tan felt that the tip of his nose seemed to be filled with a very faint sandalwood fragrance, and he saw a pine blue figure at the end of his eyes.
In the next second, she was pulled forward by the belt, and fell into a somewhat strange embrace.
She subconsciously clung to something, lowered her head, and saw that the belt loosened from her waist was embroidered with extremely complicated and slightly familiar patterns, made of black silk thread, **** wide—
Suddenly, she remembered something.
Shangyuan night, falling into the water, wearing a belt.
Ming Tan was still in shock, and after a long while, she swallowed, raised her eyes to meet those somewhat indifferent eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Husband, Husband, yes, is it you?"
