Chapter 436 The Chu Family’s Request
Zhu Mingqing was stunned. He put down the water-patterned eight-treasure skirt in his hand, walked up to him and touched his forehead: "You don't have a fever."
How come you don’t feel comfortable without spending money?
No one knew what Luo Tingshan was thinking suddenly, but he bought everything he thought Zhu Mingqing could use without passing through any store.
Finally we came to a jewelry store.
Zhu Mingqing was quite happy to receive the gift, but he still had his wits about him. Seeing that he was going to buy up most of the gold and silver jewelry store, he quickly whispered, "Don't spend money recklessly. I don't need these things. If you think the silver is too hot, give it to me!"
Luo Tingshan knew that Mingqing had no shortage of money or things, but whenever he thought about how she had grown up alone for the past twenty years and how much hardship she had endured, he felt complicated.
He asked, "When is your birthday?"
These words really stunned Zhu Mingqing.
birthday?
It seemed like she had never celebrated her birthday since she was a child. When she grew up and had money, she was not in the mood to celebrate that kind of birthday. After all, it was really unnecessary for her to do so alone.
"What?" She blinked. "Want to celebrate my birthday?"
Luo Tingshan agreed naturally: "Is it not possible?"
Zhu Mingqing felt a little uncomfortable. "It's not that I can't. Well, how should I put it..."
While she was distracted, Jiang Feng had already quickly bought the jewelry recommended by the store, and the staff were busy packing them.
Hearing the sound, Zhu Mingqing turned his head and reacted immediately.
"Old Luo, you are really..." She whispered in Luo Tingshan's ear, "straightforward!"
Luo Tingshan was stunned, thinking he would be scolded.
A smile quickly appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he had found the right way.
After leaving the jewelry shop, the things they had purchased today had already filled up the carriage, so Jiang Feng immediately asked someone to deliver the goods back.
The two protagonists turned around and went to the nearby Pavilion of Rare Treasures.
"Mrs. Ming!" Old Master Feng's voice came from upstairs.
Zhu Mingqing looked up, casually nudged Luo Tingshan's shoulder with his arm, and greeted him with his other hand: "Old Master Feng!"
A few days ago, Old Master Feng recovered and returned to the Feng family. Naturally, he also presided over the division of the Feng family. The third brother who had attacked him before was directly kicked out. Now he often comes to the door to beg the old master to take back his name.
The reason I went out today was because the Chu family sent people to invite me one after another, and I couldn't refuse anymore, so I accepted the invitation to come to the Rare Treasure Pavilion under the Chu family.
At this time, Madam Chu and Chu Ming were also there. When they saw Madam Ming and the man beside her coming up, their eyes flashed slightly.
To be honest, it can be said that we became friends after fighting.
"Grandpa, you seem to be feeling much better now!" Zhu Mingqing said with a smile, and did not forget to greet the mother and son of the Chu family.
She pushed Luo Tingshan forward and sat down next to Old Master Feng, facing the mother and son of the Chu family.
"Thanks to Madam Ming, I would like to thank you here! If there is anything in the future, as long as I am able, I will do my best!" Old Master Feng looked solemn, which froze the expressions of the mother and son of the Chu family for a moment.
After all, they were still speaking ill of the Ming family and trying to instigate the Feng family to target the Ming family.
Zhu Mingqing responded with a smile and immediately saw Madam Chu: "It seems that Mr. Chu has recovered a lot recently, but I heard that Mr. Chu seems to be unwell. Madam Chu, you have worked so hard!"
Madam Chu's heart sank, and a strange look appeared on her face.
"I heard that Chu Zheng is working under Madam Ming. When does Madam Ming plan to return my Chu family's child?"
Zhu Mingqing was just about to instruct the shop assistants to bring over all the rare treasures so she could examine them one by one. When she heard the old lady's voice, she seemed to react and turned her head:
"Madam, what did you say?"
Old Madam Chu pursed her lips. This little bitch definitely did it on purpose.
Holding her breath, she looked directly at her son beside her, and found that Chu Ming was staring at the little bitch motionlessly.
"Ming'er!"
Chu Ming didn't hear it.
Old Madam Chu became even angrier, but she still had to make money, so she decided to settle the bill after she finished shopping.
The items on the second floor were even more valuable than those on the first floor. The maids filed in and laid out many wooden boxes in a row.
After the shopkeeper received the old lady's signal, he opened them one by one.
A fist-sized night-shining pearl, a person-high red coral ornament, a jade Guanyin inlaid with rubies, a phoenix-wing purple gold crown, and a small nine-cornered incense burner with gold enamel...
All of them are of rare quality.
These things are hard to come by unless you are from a noble family!
Even Old Master Feng standing by was moved!
Old Madam Chu raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Zhu Mingqing, ready to mock her for being naive, but ended up seeing this person showing an expression that said "That's it? It's all rubbish!"
Madam Chu's expression froze. "Madam Ming, this was purchased by our Chu family from a foreign merchant. Could it be that this thing is not worthy of your approval?!"
Zhu Mingqing seemed to be nitpicking and said, "I thought they were all rare treasures, but they are just useless ornaments. Do you have thousand-year-old ginseng? And the legendary shark silk that is invulnerable to swords and spears... If the Chu family can find these items, they are quite capable!"
"You!" Old Madam Chu was furious. "These are just things from a storybook. Why is Madam Ming making fun of them?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingqing just smiled and said nothing.
The things are indeed uncommon, especially the latter, which is something that is only rumored.
"So those are the rare treasures!" She sighed twice, "It seems that the name doesn't suit the reality!"
Luo Tingshan suggested at the right time: "If you don't like it, let's go look somewhere else!"
Seeing that they were about to leave, Old Master Feng didn't want to stay any longer and got up to leave as well.
"Wait a minute!" Chu Ming suddenly spoke up, taking two steps forward to stand before Zhu Mingqing. "Madam is truly skilled and a worldly-wise person, so please don't bother with a commoner like me. How about... resolving the issues between me and my father? My Chu family would be immensely grateful!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Chu, who was about to curse, stopped talking. If Madam Ming could really help the Chu family survive this disaster, it would be truly God's mercy!
Zhu Mingqing's lips curled up: "So many famous doctors can't solve Master Chu's problem, you really think too highly of me!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to push Luo Tingshan away.
"etc!"
Chu Ming knew that if he didn't show sincerity, Mrs. Ming would definitely not admit it.
"Chu Zheng, if Madam Ming likes him, feel free to take him away. My Chu family will never pursue the matter further!"
Zhu Mingqing paused, then turned around and laughed:
"Master Chu, you are so naive!"
