"You can only see it after I leave." Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice with a stern face, and stood up and walked out of the side room.
After all, it was the first time that Mr. Zhong gave such a shabby gift to a little girl, and he felt really embarrassed as an old man.
"What are you doing? You're so weird." Mei Ya watched the man walk out of the side room with his hands behind his back, and then he turned a corner and disappeared into the wall. Mei Ya then spread her fingers. Looking at the handful of melon seeds in her palm, she immediately smiled. "How come this guy... is so nice?"
Mei Ya counted the melon seeds in her palm. There were exactly 100 of them. She looked at the pile of melon seed shells in front of Zhong Mingwei's seat, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She was a little reluctant to eat the melon seeds, but then she thought she was useless, and stuffed them into her mouth one by one.
Huh? Why are the melon seeds that her husband, Mr. Zhong, peels so delicious?
Or will Mr. Zhong peel all the melon seeds for me in this life?
Well! It’s decided happily!
“A-choo!”
The next second, a man sneezed loudly in the backyard.
…
Zhong Mingwei, Meiya, Xiao Anshi, Gu Changlin and Kong Wenjie had finished their dinner and were sitting in the front yard eating grapes to cool off when Pang Yi came back from outside in a hurry. He didn't even bother to lead the horse to the stable and rushed into the yard.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Mingwei knew something was wrong when he saw his face. He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up. He waved to Pang Yi, "Come to the backyard."
"Yes." Pang Yi immediately handed the horse to Kong Wenjie, and then hurried to the backyard with Zhong Mingwei.
Meiya and Xiao An looked at each other, not knowing what had happened, but knowing that Pang Yi had been out for the past few days. Gu Changlin, however, was still lying leisurely on the rocking chair, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, and singing "Weiyang Palace" while shaking his head: "What a daring little Han Xin, why did he sneak into the palace! Someone come and tie him up and chop off his head without mercy!"
…
Backyard study.
"Haven't you received the letter today?" Zhong Mingwei looked at Pang Yi with a sullen face.
"Yes, I went to the old place today, but I still haven't received any letters from Southern Xinjiang," Pang Yi's face was not good, and his tone was full of worry. "Before Chongyuan went on the expedition last time, he wrote to me, saying that the war was over and he would report to me and me that he was safe. But it has been two months. This time it is not a big war. It will take less than ten days for Chongyuan to lead the expedition and deal with that mob. I heard from the prefect that the Southern Xinjiang camp had already sent a victory report to the capital, but until now there has been no news from Chongyuan. It's really weird!"
Zhong Mingwei silently looked at the pomegranate tree swaying in the wind outside the window. After a while, he turned around and said to Pang Yi, "I think there are only two reasons. One is that Chongyuan discovered some great secret of Xu Chengjin and was imprisoned or silenced. But Chongyuan is now a third-rank commander. He became famous at a young age and has made great military achievements. He is a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Xu Chengjin would not dare to attack Chongyuan easily."
"Then is there another reason?" Pang Yi looked at Zhong Mingwei who was silent for a long time and asked hurriedly.
"Xu Chengjin discovered that Chongyuan and Ningguta had been exchanging letters, and then traced back to find out that Chongyuan was my man. In a rage..." At this point, Zhong Mingwei paused, shook his head, and said, "No, Chongyuan must be fine. If Xu Chengjin wanted to kill Chongyuan, then this time along with the victory report to the capital, there must have been bad news that Chongyuan died on the battlefield, but there was only victory news, which means Chongyuan is still alive."
"I also think it's impossible to be the second one. For so many years, the relationship between Chongyuan, Xiangyang and us has been well hidden. When I was still in the capital, no one noticed it. Now that we are in Ningguta, it is even less known. And I also think Xu Chengjin would not attack Chongyuan. After all, Chongyuan has been his right-hand man for many years. It's just..." Pang Yi bit his lip and continued, "But since he is his right-hand man, Chongyuan must know some of Xu Chengjin's secrets. Who knows, this time, he offended Xu Chengjin because of this."
"So what is this incredible secret?" Zhong Mingwei frowned and said slowly, "It actually made Xu Chengjin feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and dared to imprison a third-rank commander so brazenly?"
