Chapter 149 Young People Should Not Look Too Far
After Hua Bei left, the entire prison became quiet in an instant.
Xiao Mingrui suddenly opened his eyes and asked,
"You didn't get the inspiration for your storybook from them, did you?"
Jiang Tunan: Emmm, why not count?
Seeing Jiang Tunan remained silent, Xiao Mingrui's smile grew brighter.
"You should write less in the future, so as not to damage your brain."
Jiang Tunan: Damn it, they were the ones who made a fool of themselves, why am I the one being scolded?
Su Xiaoxiao: Who? Who scolded me?
Su Xiaoxiao walked to a corner and squatted down alone. Because she had just been caught in the rain, her clothes were quite wet.
There was wind blowing in the prison from time to time, and Su Xiaoxiao sneezed several times.
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at Xiao Mingrui pitifully. Jiang Tunan also turned his head and looked at Xiao Mingrui motionlessly. Xiao Mingrui had a face full of question marks.
"See what I do?"
"I'm waiting for you to be gentle and put your coat on Su Xiaoxiao."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard Jiang Tunan say this, she looked at Xiao Mingrui with even more anticipation.
"I can't borrow it. I'll be cold if I take it off."
Su Xiaoxiao: ...
Jiang Tunan put his hands in his pockets and moved closer to the wall.
"I can't borrow it either. I have a cold uterus."
Xiao Mingrui:?
Finally, Guoer took off her coat and put it on Su Xiaoxiao, and the two of them snuggled together across the wooden railing.
“It’s a touching master-servant relationship.”
Jiang Tunan sighed casually, and Su Xiaoxiao looked resentfully in the direction of Xiao Mingrui and Jiang Tunan, but did not say anything.
"My cousin seems to know a lot of... military songs?"
Xiao Mingrui remembered that the first time he met Jiang Tunan, she was singing a military song. Although she only sang a few sentences of the song, it was obvious that it was related to the military.
Jiang Tunan complained in her heart. This is a song that everyone has to learn during the university military training. She saw that Hua Bei had too much negative energy, so she wanted to suppress it with a song with a stronger aura.
"Of course it's not a real military song~"
Weird.
Jiang Tunan tried to explain,
"This is a folk song. It's normal for a young man like my cousin to have never heard of it."
"Oh? I wonder how many more songs like this my cousin can sing?"
Xiao Mingrui spoke casually, but his eyes always stayed on Jiang Tunan.
"Cousin, do you want to learn? I'll teach you?"
Jiang Tunan extended his hand towards Xiao Mingrui.
"The price is for family love. Not 90 taels, not 9 taels either. Just 999 wen. You won't be cheated or fooled."
Xiao Mingrui looked calm.
"One ounce of gold in exchange for a piece of music, do you agree?"
Jiang Tunan nodded quickly with sparkling eyes, but Xiao Mingrui continued to speak slowly,
"If you agree, I'll report it to the police."
Jiang Tunan: How dare you play tricks on me?
Jiang Tunan pretended to be sad, and when he was about to wipe his tears with Xiao Mingrui's sleeve, Xiao Mingrui quickly pulled back his sleeve and said,
"99 coins per song, no more."
"make a deal!"
Jiang Tunan agreed without even thinking about it. It would be a waste not to do this business where one could make money just by talking.
"I don't want a military song, I want a song that shows my ambitions. Does my cousin have one?"
Jiang Tunan looked respectful.
"Good boss."
Xiao Mingrui suddenly froze, his tone somewhat uncertain.
"What did you call me?"
"Boss, you pay me and I do the work, so aren't you the boss?"
Xiao Mingrui concealed his emotions and said with some ambiguity,
"You have quite a lot of bosses."
Jiang Tunan smiled flatteringly.
“So I start singing?”
Xiao Mingrui nodded, looking expectant.
Jiang Tunan cleared his throat, gathered his emotions and began to sing,
"I have a beautiful wish, that I can sow the sun when I grow up~ Sow one, just one is enough! It will produce many drops of sun~"
Xiao Mingrui:?
"Is this your grand ambition?"
Xiao Mingrui was speechless, and Jiang Tunan agreed as a matter of course.
"Is planting the sun not a great ambition? Young man, don't be so ambitious!"
Xiao Mingrui gave up. This was Jiang Tunan. What on earth was he expecting?
Jiang Tunan came up to Xiao Mingrui and looked around, as if asking Xiao Mingrui if he was satisfied.
"La la la ~ Plant the sun? La la la ~ Plant the sun?"
Xiao Mingrui pursed his lips, looking unmoved.
"At that time, every corner of the world~"
"Stop! I'll give you two taels of silver to shut up."
"okay"
Jiang Tunan immediately sat in a corner and kept some distance from Xiao Mingrui.
That’s great, I got two taels and 99 cents for free.
"Miss, I actually thought the song Miss Jiang just sang was quite nice..."
Guo'er looked at Jiang Tunan with some curiosity, but was gently scolded by Su Xiaoxiao.
"Just go to sleep, why do you care so much?"
"Yes."
Guoer withdrew her gaze and dared not look again.
Outside the prison, Hua Bei did not leave. The rain had soaked him all over. He waited until there was no sound inside before he left.
At the Yuxi County government office, Xiao Mingli waited for a long time for Xiao Mingrui to return. At this time, his personal servant Yun Mo handed over a letter.
"Master, this is the letter that the Fourth Young Master sent before he left."
Xiao Mingli looked puzzled and slowly opened the envelope. After reading the contents of the letter, his face suddenly changed and he was horrified.
"It's bad! Mingrui is in danger!"
At the same time, in the Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Duke Meng Feiping was supported by Meng Jingchen and walked in his own garden.
"Jingchen, what have you been doing these days? Why did I see you send so many people out of Kyoto?"
Meng Jingchen paused but returned to normal in an instant.
"It was just a few minor things that were dealt with quickly."
Meng Feiping nodded and said earnestly,
"From now on, this huge Rongguo Mansion will depend on you, Jingchen, don't waste too much energy on trivial matters. Now the eldest prince and his faction are secretly trying to win over various forces, so you have to be cautious."
Meng Jingchen was very respectful.
"My grandson knows."
Meng Shi echoed from the side,
"Dad, don't worry. Jingchen was raised by you personally. You can trust him to do things."
Meng Feiping glared at Meng Shi and said unhappily,
"I believe in Jing Chen's ability, but I don't believe in yours. I asked you to find the successor of Yang Jiuzhen, but the successor you found was half dead. If Jing Chen hadn't been there that day, I'm afraid the successor would have died that day!"
Meng Shi felt a little guilty and said,
"Dad, isn't there a little one?"
Meng Feiping was so angry that he laughed.
"You mean that six-year-old kid? He probably can't even hold a needle steadily now. You're asking him for the acupuncture secrets?"
Seeing his own father being lectured, Meng Jingchen had no choice but to speak up to help.
“Grandfather, there is actually a solution to this problem. Those two people were abducted by the big Yin people for several days. If the secret book was with them, the big Yin people would have snatched it away and killed them to silence them. This shows that the secret book must be hidden somewhere.
The six-year-old boy had been staying with his sister before, so he must know where the secret book is hidden. With a little guidance, he should be able to find out where the secret book is. "
Meng Feiping glanced at Meng Jingchen with admiration, then turned around and cursed Meng Shi angrily,
"Thank goodness you gave birth to a good son!"
"Grandfather, let your grandson handle this matter."
Meng Feiping stopped Meng Jingchen's actions.
"Leave this to your father. You have more important things to do."
