Chapter 115 I think you look very kind
Lu Mingchao, a god in charge of the ancient Greek water-carrying masters, would not neglect anyone.
She ended her sweet words to Old Lady Lu and turned to ask about Lu Chunsheng's well-being.
Lu Chunsheng was so coaxed that he smiled happily and called his daughter a caring little sweetheart. He even ate his meals much faster.
"Look at how useless you are." Yunniang rolled her eyes in annoyance.
After dinner, there was still light snow in the sky, and a layer of light, mottled white covered the ground.
Fearing that the snow would fall heavier, Lu Yao went out early.
In less than an hour, good news was brought to Lu Mingchao.
Wei Tang invited Cheng Zhi to come to his house at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow to have tea and talk about poetry around the fire, and she was also among the invited guests.
After the snow, Changxi Village was as quiet and peaceful as if the silencer had been pressed.
Most of the day passed quietly.
The next day.
Although the snow has stopped, the wind has not abated.
Lu Mingchao's clothing and accessories were low-key and restrained, but not disrespectful.
"Tomorrow, I will bring some fine rice to visit the grain merchants again and try to sign an agreement to bring us to our side."
"Don't let yourself be wronged."
Xie Yan's eyes were deep and focused as she used the brush to draw eyebrows for Lu Mingchao, while she gave instructions in a clear voice.
After Xie Yan's hand moved away from Lu Mingchao's brow, Lu Mingchao nodded and said, "A Yan, when have you ever seen me put myself in a difficult position?"
"You too, if cooperation can be negotiated, then negotiate, if not, then call it quits."
Lu Mingchao's gaze fell on the bronze mirror.
The faces of the two people were reflected in the bronze mirror, and they looked very beautiful.
He found a thick cloak, wrapped himself tightly, and went out together.
The carriage slowly arrived and picked up Lu Yao outside the Lu family's door.
The Wei family is also a wealthy landlord in Lianhua Town. Their courtyard has deep eaves and curved corners, and the layout is neat and orderly.
There is a plum tree in the courtyard, with a thin layer of snow on its vigorous branches, and a faint fragrance fills the air.
Lu Mingchao was welcomed into the small flower hall where the female family members entertained guests.
The charcoal fire is burning brightly, and standing in it you feel as if you have arrived in spring in the blink of an eye.
"Miss Wei." Lu Mingchao bowed slightly with a smile on his face.
Wei Tang smiled and took Lu Mingchao's arm in a familiar manner. "I have wanted to meet Sister Lu for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance. Now that I see you today, it is true that hearing about you is worse than seeing you in person."
Sister Lu...
Lu Mingchao's long eyelashes trembled.
I almost forgot that she just married young.
Wei Tang has a delicate and cute oval face and bright almond eyes, giving people a petite and cute impression, as if she is a well-cared-for kitten.
Her cunningness also reveals a kind of innocent temperament.
At first glance, one can't help but feel close and happy.
This kind of temperament is truly a gift from heaven.
"Sister Wei, please stop teasing me." Lu Mingchao climbed up the pole.
Wei Tang was the first to show his goodwill. If she continued to act reserved, it would be a bit ignorant of good and bad.
Aren't the relationships between people based on the principle that if you respect me one inch, I will respect you one inch?
Wei Tang pulled Lu Mingchao to sit on a carved chair covered with a thick, soft blanket, and they chatted in a familiar and natural manner without feeling awkward at all.
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Zhi also came to the small flower hall under the guidance of her maid, with some snow particles on the soles of her embroidered shoes.
Cheng Zhi had never met Lu Mingchao before, and didn't know his identity. She just thought he was another close friend of Wei Tang.
Lu Mingchao took advantage of the situation to look at Cheng Zhi inconspicuously.
Gentle and shy.
This was Lu Mingchao's first impression of Cheng Zhi.
"Sister Tang." Cheng Zhi took off her shawl and handed it to the maid beside her.
The smile is reserved and shy, like the rising sun caressing the tranquility of the earth.
"Sister Zhi, let me introduce you. This is Sister Ming. Her brother is my brother's classmate."
"Sister Ming, this is Cheng Zhi, the daughter of the private school teacher."
Wei Tang intentionally or unintentionally concealed Lu Mingchao's identity.
Lu Mingchao and Cheng Zhi nodded to each other.
"It's freezing cold, but I still invited Sister Zhi to sit around the stove and make tea. I'm sorry to trouble Sister Zhi. I hope you won't blame me." Wei Tang smiled, with some apology in his voice.
Cheng Zhi sipped her hot tea and whispered, "Of course not. Winter is long and boring. Being able to get together with my sisters and steal a half day of comfort is really a great pleasure in life."
"Besides, it's the winter solstice."
Lu Mingchao thought that the words "the voice was very soft and the face was very red" in Lu Lei's description were more concrete.
As soon as the words came out, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and her voice was soft and delicate, as if a slender feather was gently brushing against her ear.
On the charcoal stove, hot tea gurgles.
Amid the sound of water vapor, Cheng Zhi's voice became even fainter, and she had difficulty hearing it.
Apparently, Wei Tang had not only gotten used to it, but had also adapted well to it.
"I heard that Sister Zhi's marriage has been decided. It may be difficult to invite Sister Zhi again in the future." Wei Tang said carelessly.
Lu Mingchao caught a glimpse of Cheng Zhi's expression from the corner of his eye. It was stiff for a moment, and then she lowered her head shyly, so quickly that it seemed like she had imagined it.
"My parents' daughter is arranged by the matchmaker." Cheng Zhi said shyly.
Wei Tang smiled and said, "I won't tease Sister Zhi anymore."
"I don't know why the maid hasn't brought the fruit yet. I'll go take a look while you guys chat."
Wei Tang put on his awning and left.
The atmosphere in the small flower hall was stagnant and silent for a moment.
Lu Mingchao picked up the teacup, scraped out the floating white foam with the tea lid, took a sip, and immediately broke the silence, "Can I follow Sister Wei and call you Sister Zhi?"
"Of course." Cheng Zhi nodded and smiled.
Lu Mingchao stroked the pattern on the teacup with his fingertips and smiled sweetly, "Then I won't be polite."
"Sister Zhi, I think you look very familiar. Have we met before?"
Cheng Zhi raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Mingchao quickly. "Shaking her head, if I had seen a beauty like Sister Ming, I would never forget it."
She is beautiful indeed, but besides being beautiful, she also looks vaguely familiar.
Could it be that you have really seen it?
Cheng Zhi began to have doubts in her heart.
Lu Mingchao smiled and said, "But I really think Sister Zhi looks kind. Let me think about it carefully."
"Is it in the plum grove behind the Taoist temple outside the city, or in a temple with declining popularity, or in..."
As he was talking, Lu Mingchao's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and he asked sincerely, "Sister Zhi, is the man who was with you that day your fiancé?"
"Congratulations to Sister Zhi for finding a gentle, considerate, and handsome man."
As soon as she finished speaking, the teacup in Cheng Zhi's hand fell to the ground.
The splashing tea soaked Cheng Zhi's embroidered shoes, and the teacup bounced on the floor a few times and broke into pieces.
"Sister Ming, you've recognized the wrong person, right?" Cheng Zhi explained calmly.
Lu Mingchao tilted his head, pretending to be innocent and simple, and said half-truthfully, "Really?"
"But I clearly saw that man brushing Sister Zhi's hair."
Cheng Zhi's voice turned cold. "Sister Ming, please don't say such things again. The Cheng family has very strict discipline and will never do such private things."
The expression on Lu Mingchao's face faded. "Maybe I saw it wrong. After all, Sister Zhi's family education is very strict."
What kind of woman does your second brother like?
