Chapter 668 Birthday Banquet
Li Beibei didn't want to leave room for herself, so she stopped talking all at once.
Minglou over there was silent for a long time, turned and left without saying anything.
Li Beibei suddenly felt very sad.
Li Beibei thought that facing a stranger who was not Fu Jingmo, saying these words would not cause her heart to fluctuate at all.
But in fact, this feeling is exactly the same as when I broke up with Fu Jingmoti before.
That feeling of losing the whole world.
After Minglou left, Li Beibei fell headfirst on the bed and began to sleep.
Li Beibei slept in a dark sleep, and had no idea how long it had passed.
Until Yun'er came in, she seemed to have woken up, so she said cautiously: "Miss, there is a distinguished guest, would you like to see her?"
Li Beibei thought it was Chu Xiubai.
She happened to make some decisions and wanted to ask Chu Xiubai to be kind.
So Li Beibei stood up and said, "Let him in."
After Li Beibei tidied up her appearance and went to the front hall, she realized that the person who came was not Chu Xiubai.
But a slim, lovely girl.
This girl Li Beibei has seen before, she was rescued at the gate of the Liyuan yesterday.
She was also the mysterious woman in Tianzi No. 1 before.
Of course, Li Beibei now knows her identity.
She is Ming Yuyan, the daughter of the Ming family, and also Minglou's younger sister.
The girl was very happy to see Li Beibei coming out.
She walked over with a smile: "Sister Cherry, I finally saw you. I have been here three times, and you are sleeping."
After finishing speaking, she ordered the servant girl behind: "Bring the things here."
Her maid came over with a beautiful brocade box in her hand.
The servant girl walked up to Li Beibei and opened the brocade box.
Li Beibei saw a gem-studded dagger inside.
The colorful gemstones on the scabbard shine dazzlingly.
Ming Yuyan had already walked over and said: "Sister Cherry, thank you for helping me out yesterday. I saw that you are very skilled, so I thought of this dagger. This is a gift my third brother brought back from Xizhou two years ago. , I don't like to play with knives and guns, and it's a waste to keep it, so I thought of giving it to my sister, and I hope my sister won't dislike it."
Li Beibei's eyes fell on the dagger.
It turned out that Minglou gave it to her.
Li Beibei looked back: "Miss Ming, you are welcome, yesterday was just a little effort, this gift is so expensive, I naturally cannot accept it."
Ming Yuyan put the box directly on the table.
Ming Yuyan said: "No matter how valuable something is, it can't be compared with my sister's friendship to save Yuyan. If my sister insists on not accepting it, then I will ask my third brother to come to the door to give a thank you gift in person. My third brother has many rare treasures. Yibao, there will always be a sister who will take a fancy to it."
When Ming Yuyan said this, Li Beibei was shaken.
She doesn't want to see Minglou again.
So Li Beibei said: "Okay, I will accept the dagger, thank you Miss Ming."
Ming Yuyan ran over and took Li Beibei's arm affectionately.
Ming Yuyan looked at Li Beibei with admiration like a child: "Sister, why are you so powerful? Where did you learn from? Why did you end up in this kind of place? If you have nowhere to go, sister, live How about coming to our Mingfu, sister, are you free tomorrow, how about we go horse riding together?"
Li Beibei was dizzy at the sound of her sister calling.
Li Beibei rubbed her temples and said, "You have too many questions. I don't feel well today. Can you go out first?"
Ming Yuyan immediately asked concerned: "Sister Cherry, what's wrong with you? My maid, Chanyi, comes from a family of imperial doctors. Let her show you."
As Ming Yuyan said, her maid had already stepped forward to check Li Beibei's pulse.
Li Beibei said quickly: "I'm fine, but I drank too much yesterday, so I need to rest."
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but say: "Yun'er, see off the guests."
Ming Yuyan finally left.
The room fell silent instantly.
Li Beibei looked at the dagger on the table in a daze.
In the next few days, Li Beibei originally wanted to sort out some thoughts quietly.
But Ming Yuyan came here every day.
Chattering in Li Beibei's ear.
Li Beibei is really annoying.
But gradually, I got used to it.
Li Beibei also learned a lot about her third brother Minglou from Ming Yuyan.
Minglou, the third young master of the Ming family, has been fostered in the temple since he was a child.
He was taken back to the Ming Mansion only five years ago.
The third young master of the Ming Dynasty is a genius, not only with superb martial arts skills, but also with outstanding business acumen.
Li Beibei listened to Ming Lou in Ming Yuyan's mouth.
I just think that Minglou and Fu Jingmo really have many similarities.
Being in the world, doing things, etc., seem to be exactly the same as Fu Jingmo.
Could it be that Minglou is really the parallel and empty Fu Jingmo?
Li Beibei thought his idea was ridiculous.
No matter what, she actually wanted to convince herself that there was a reason to accept Minglou.
A reason to regard Minglou as Fu Jingmo in an open and honest manner.
Maybe it is too lonely and helpless in this world.
Li Beibei couldn't imagine that without Fu Jingmo, what would be the point of her being here.
But in the end, Li Beibei still couldn't deceive himself.
Minglou is Minglou, and Fu Jingmo is Fu Jingmo.
It's like twins, even if they look exactly the same, they are not the same person.
They have different experiences, different thoughts, different love and hatred.
After nearly half a month of ideological struggle.
Li Beibei finally made a decision.
That is, she is leaving here.
Leave Nanhan.
Li Beibei has already discussed with Chu Xiubai.
They are going to Northern Fujian.
In fact, the four countries of the four seas and continents.
The other three countries, they can't stay.
She is a fugitive wanted throughout Donghua.
Also offended the royal family in Xizhou, and had no place to stay.
Nanhan is rich and rich, and has the best humanistic customs, but it is a place that makes Li Beibei sad.
Northern Fujian is a nomadic tribe with a vast land and few people, and the conditions are difficult.
But there are free winds, vast grasslands and blue skies.
Li Beibei plans to settle there.
Li Beibei hadn't seen Minglou for half a month.
According to Ming Yuyan, his third brother is currently preparing for their father Ming Hongsheng's 50th birthday.
Ming Hongsheng's birthday banquet is comparable to a royal feast.
The spectacle can be described as shocking.
Ming Yuyan gave Li Beibei two invitations.
Ask her to go to Ming Mansion that day.
Li Beibei originally didn't want to go.
But before Li Beibei left, there was still one thing that he couldn't let go of.
That is the heart-wrenching Gu on Fu Jingmo's body.
She discussed it with Chu Xiubai.
If everything is cold revenge.
Then on the day of Ming Hongsheng's birthday banquet, it is very likely to strike again.
Finally, Li Beibei and Chu Xiubai decided to go to Ming Mansion.
If you can find the clues, find the coldness, it would be the best to cure the Gu poison on Minglou's body.
If not, Li Beibei also told himself that he had tried his best.
From now on, Minglou will live or die, and will not do her business.
Li Beibei has already packed her luggage.
In the afternoon, Li Beibei said goodbye to Jin Xiangyu in advance.
Li Beibei gave five thousand taels of silver inlaid with gold and jade.
Jin Xiangyu stared straight at her eyes: "Cherry, what do you mean, you have earned a lot of silver taels for our Xiaoxiang Pavilion during this time, and Jin Xiangyu is also a contented person, I can't accept these silver taels. "
Although he said so in his mouth, his eyes still couldn't help looking at the silver.
Who can refuse money?
Li Beibei said: "The money is for Yun'er and Rebirth, is it enough?"
Jin Xiangyu put the money into his arms with a smile: "Enough is enough, let alone redeeming them, just redeeming me is enough."
At this time, Yun'er and Chongzhen were standing beside Li Beibei.
When they heard that the cherry girl had redeemed them.
In an instant, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
You must know that they are lowly, and being sold here is like livestock.
The ladies here make a lot of money, if they want to be good, they can save enough money to redeem themselves.
Or if you meet a generous master, there are plenty of concubines in rich families.
But people like her and Rebirth cannot change the tragic fate of being enslaved.
Because they will not be able to earn the money to redeem themselves in several lifetimes.
You can only work here for the rest of your life, or you may be sold off by the boss.
Now Miss Cherry suddenly redeemed them with five thousand taels.
Yun'er was already tearing down with excitement.
Jin Xiangyu quickly brought over the two people's deeds of prostitution.
Li Beibei tore it up and threw it into the stove.
Li Beibei said to Yun'er and Chongsheng: "From now on, you two will be free people."
Yun'er and Chongsheng both fell to their knees on the ground: "Thank you miss, thank you miss, there is no way to repay you for your kindness. Yun'er is willing to be a cow and a horse to miss for the rest of her life."
Li Beibei smiled, and quickly helped the two of them up.
Li Beibei said: "I don't want you to be cows and horses, I'm leaving, and you two will have to rely on yourself from now on."
After speaking, Li Beibei took out two more bags and shared one with each other.
The two of them opened it and saw that there was a bag full of gold leaves inside.
In Nanhan, a single golden leaf is enough for ordinary people to live for a year.
So many gold leaves are enough for them to buy a house and land for a lifetime.
Yun'er's fingers trembling while holding the bag.
Li Beibei said: "This is a parting gift for the two of you. With the money, you can start a business or buy a house or land. From now on, it's up to you. Yun'er, you are still young when you are reborn. Just be his older sister, and you two should support and take good care of her, and I believe that your future life will be bright and brilliant."
Yun'er and Rebirth knelt down at the same time: "Miss, we don't want this money, we just want to follow Miss."
Rebirth also said: "Yes, we just want to follow my sister, no matter where she goes, just take us with her, we can wash and cook, chop firewood and lead a horse, we don't eat much, and we won't cause trouble for the lady , Sister Cherry, you can take us with you."
Li Beibei hesitated.
She comes and goes freely.
It was after some struggles that he decided to go on the road with Chu Xiubai, so that he could take care of him.
Do you need to bring two more people?
Yun'er said: "Without Miss' protection, I am nothing to Rebirth, let alone we two lowly slaves who were born here and have no background or backing here. If we have so much money all of a sudden, we will only be missed by robbers. Miss, take us away, just treat us as an object."
Li Beibei listened and was moved with compassion.
Indeed, it is not a good thing for the two of them to suddenly have a lot of money without relying on them.
Li Beibei thought for a while and said: "But I don't know where I will go. Maybe I will make my home all over the world, maybe wander around, maybe I will eat and sleep in the open, and it is even more likely that I will be hunted down by the enemy. If you stay here, I will let the Ming family go." The third lady takes care of you, and maybe you can live a stable and prosperous life, but following me, the road ahead is bleak and the future is unknown, even so, are you still willing?"
"I do!!"
The two spoke almost in unison without hesitation.
Li Beibei was also moved when she looked at the firm eyes of the two.
Li Beibei helped the two of them up.
Li Beibei said: "Okay, then let's go on the road together. Don't call me Miss from now on. From now on, we are relatives. I am the eldest sister, Yun'er is the second sister, and rebirth is the younger brother. From now on, we will be relatives." Brother and sister, no matter what happens, we will stay together through thick and thin, and never leave."
Rebirth and Yun'er had already burst into tears: "Okay, we are in the same boat through thick and thin, and we will never leave."
These days, Yun'er and Rebirth are preparing dry food and carriages.
The departure time has been set.
It was the second day of Ming Hongsheng's birthday banquet.
The day of Ming Hongsheng's birthday banquet.
Ming Mansion was bustling like never before.
There are lights and festoons everywhere, it can be said that it is not lively.
During the daytime, people were invited to sing an opera, and even a big banquet was held outside the Ming Mansion,
As long as they are passing guests, they can take a seat.
The flowing water banquet on the table is full of delicacies.
Ordinary people can't eat such good things even during the Chinese New Year.
Countless people came from all directions to celebrate the birthday.
There are various links in the middle.
For example, Ming Hongsheng stood upstairs and scattered silver taels.
The people looted,
The Ming family also sent rice, flour, oil and grain to some poor people.
The people are all praising the Ming family.
Some people even began to say that Ming Hongsheng should be made emperor.
The reason why he dares to say this is naturally because Nanhan's royal family is the puppet of the chaebol.
The country's army is also supported by the three big chaebols.
Currently, the relationship between the three major chaebols is good, and they are also related to each other by marriage.
Ming Hongsheng had a big birthday, and people from the Yue family and the Situ family also came to celebrate his birthday.
At night, the flowing water mat in front of the Ming Mansion was extremely lively.
But Ming Mansion is even more lively.
All the guests in the mansion are distinguished guests.
Even the current Prince Zhao Shixun came over.
The Crown Princess is Situ Laner, the daughter of the Situ family.
The house is brightly lit.
Several tables are set up in the huge courtyard.
Ming Hongsheng and Fengyi sat on the main seat, accepting congratulations from all the guests.
Even the positions of the prince and princess are below.
It can be seen that the Ming family's status in Nanhan.
The servants of the Ming family kept changing the dishes for the guests.
There is an empty space among the tables and seats, and there are various performances like flowing water, Jinghong dance, sword dance, and piano performances, which are very lively.
