Master of Rebirth

Hurrying out of Zhengxihou's Mansion, Zhao Jing frowned deeply and was full of thoughts.It wasn't that he didn't realize that there was someone hiding in the inner room just now, although he suspected that the person was Xu Baichuan, Zhao Jing still pretended not to know.

When Zhao Rui mentioned Wang Qi, Zhao Jing knew something was wrong.

Xu Baichuan has always hated Wang Qi ever since he learned about Wang Qi's scheme to cheat them out of the secret recipe and drive them away.These years, Xu Baichuan has also blamed himself very much, regretting entrusting him and Mrs. Ma to someone like Wang Qi to take care of him.Zhao Jing couldn't help worrying that if Xu Baichuan knew that he had a physical relationship with Wang Qi, he would definitely not tolerate Wang Qi even more.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Baichuan must have mentioned Wang Qi to Zhao Rui, and what he said was not good.He still has ways to deal with Xu Baichuan's actions, but if Zhao Rui wants to make a move, he is really not sure that he can stop it.

Thinking that Wang Qi might be in danger, Zhao Jing wished he could go back to Pingyao County immediately to protect him.It's a pity that he knows that if Zhao Rui wants to deal with a person, with his current ability, he can't stop him at all.Zhao Jing knew that the more he cared about Wang Qi now, the more dangerous Wang Qi would be.I just hope that what I said just now can make them dispel their minds.

Although already fidgeting at this time, Zhao Jing still forced himself to calm down.He gave Xiuwen a few simple instructions, and then pretended to be nonchalant and went to the house where Mrs. Ma was resettled.

After Zhao Jing became the eldest son of Zhengxi Hou, Pozi Ma could no longer be his grandmother.Zhao Jing's original intention was to bring her into the Hou's residence so that it would be convenient to take care of her.But Mrs. Ma disagreed, saying that she was not used to living in the Hou Mansion, so she insisted on going out to live alone.Zhao Jing had no choice, so he bought a smaller house near Zhengxihou's Mansion, and let Mrs. Ma and the girls live together.

After the house was settled, Zhao Jing wanted to hire some honest maids to take care of their food and daily life.However, Mrs. Ma was not used to the life of being served by others, so she insisted on not letting outsiders in.Therefore, only the three of them lived in this small courtyard.Fortunately, the maids and sisters are capable, and Xu Baichuan often sends people to take care of them, so Zhao Jing is relieved.

The one who came to open the door was Yatou's younger sister. Ever since she lived in Linglongzhai with Yatou, Mrs. Ma felt that the name "little girl, little girl" was not appropriate, so she named her Mingmei.

Mingmei has grown into a slim girl, and she is no longer the skinny little radish a few years ago.When she saw Zhao Jing, she was both surprised and happy, "Brother Ah Man, you are finally back."

The girl who came out after hearing the movement was also very happy to see Zhao Jing, whom she had not seen for many days.But she was a few years older after all, she didn't cling to Zhao Jing like her younger sister, so she saluted politely, "Young Lord."

The girl was well-mannered and generous, but Zhao Jing was always pestered by Mingmei, so she didn't pay attention to her at all.

Seeing his younger sister chattering around Zhao Jing, she called each other "Brother Ah Man" very sweetly.Although the girl thought it was a little eye-catching, she didn't think about it. Instead, she stretched out her hand and pulled her over, reprimanding her: "Sister, don't be so big or small, call me Young Master."

Mingmei originally wanted to have a close relationship with Zhao Jing, but after listening to her sister's words, she realized that the Marquis's house has a lot of rules, she does not distinguish between superiority and inferiority like this, and if it is spread out, it will definitely make people feel impolite.

Looking at the followers behind Zhao Jing with lingering fear, Mingmei's heart pounded, and she changed her words in a panic, "Master, forgive me, I... I didn't mean it."

"Sister girl, you are out of touch now. You are the sisters I recognize, just call me Ah Man, there is no such relationship with my family." Seeing their embarrassed faces, especially Ming Mei, He didn't know where his hands and feet were, and his little face was flushed nervously, like a child who made a mistake. Zhao Jing smiled and comforted him.

Since Zhao Jing is willing to call them brothers and sisters, it is not comparable to ordinary servants, and both of them are relieved.

Seeing that Zhao Jing's words were sincere, and the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, the girl's heart was slightly sweet.

Before she could go up to talk to Zhao Jing, she saw her younger sister changed from her tense expression just now, and approached Zhao Jing with a smile like a flower, took his arm affectionately, and said coquettishly: "I knew Brother Ah Man It's best, you won't put on airs with us."

"That's natural." The bright and innocent face looked cute and innocent.Zhao Jing fondled her head, and said: "I brought your favorite snacks, hurry up and eat them."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jing took a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candy from the attendant behind him and handed it to Mingmei.

"No, I don't want to eat candy." Ming Mei Buyi clung to Zhao Jing's arm, pouted and said, "Little sister wants Brother Ah Man to tell me stories about killing the enemy on the battlefield. Last time you You obviously promised my little sister that you would tell me. It's a pity that you are always away, and you can't see anyone at all."

The girl was left on the sidelines coldly, watching her younger sister acting coquettishly and foolishly in front of Zhao Jing unwillingly, she only felt that whether it was her holding Zhao Aman's hand, her delicate tone of voice, or her seemingly innocent and ignorant eyes. dazzling outside.

"Little sister, don't be so unruly. Ah Man came back to visit Grandma Ma, not to tell you a story." Resisting the urge to rush up to give her little sister a melon seed, the girl said patiently.

After hearing what her sister said, Mingmei reluctantly let go of Zhao Jing's arm.But she was still not reconciled, she raised her head and pestered, "Brother Ah Man, promise me that when you are free, you must tell me a story."

"Okay, okay, I promise you, I will tell you when I have time." Seeing the little girl let go, Zhao Jing also heaved a sigh of relief.

After finally waiting for Mingmei to subside, the girl hurriedly came up and said with a smile: "Little sister doesn't understand the rules, Ah Man, please don't mind. Grandma Ma is resting in the room now, I will take you there."

"No need, I'll just go there by myself." Noticing the girl's earnest eyes, Zhao Jing simply rejected her and walked towards the house where Madam Ma lived.

After Zhao Jing and his party had gone far away, the girl put away the disappointment in her eyes and sighed slightly.

"Sister, don't dream." At this time, Mingmei had lost her ignorant and innocent look. She chewed the sweet-scented osmanthus candy that Zhao Jing bought, and said coolly: "Brother Ah Man, if he is interested in you, he would have married you a long time ago." I won’t let you wait so long. You’d better listen to Granny Ma’s advice and find an honest man to marry. Don’t wait until you become an old girl and waste your youth in vain.”

Mingmei's words undoubtedly hit the girl's sore spot, she turned cold, looked down at her younger sister who was about to be as tall as herself, and said in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Am I wrong?" Mingmei took a few steps back to distance herself from her sister. She raised her pink face and turned around in front of the girl. Her young body and graceful figure seemed to be dancing among the flowers. butterfly.

After showing enough, Mingmei said to her sister braggingly: "Sister, I am more beautiful than you, smarter than you, and more importantly, I am younger than you. Even if I wait a few years longer, I can afford to wait." But you are different. You are a few years older than Brother Ah Man, and you are already over [-] now. I know you like Brother Ah Man, but you can't marry him. Instead of waiting like this, it is better to help Help my sister. If I marry Brother Ah Man, I will also benefit from you in the future."

Although she had long suspected that her sister had such thoughts, the girl never thought that she would dare to say such words to herself so arrogantly.That expression and tone of voice were not aimed at the elder sister who worked so hard to raise her, but were mocking an insignificant old woman.

She didn't even think about it. Back then, her mother was sick in bed all year round, and her father and brother were bad gamblers who didn't have a home. Who worked so hard every day to make money to support her?When she was scolded and abused by her brother, and she was about to die of starvation, who would sneak over to bring her food at the risk of being beaten and scolded?When she was sick and was discarded, and was about to die of illness, who risked being infected, hugged her and knocked on the door and kowtowed to beg a doctor?

Thinking of all these piles, the girl only felt chills.

"I think you should give up your heart as soon as possible." Knowing that she told her about the past, the younger sister would just sneer.But the girl really couldn't swallow this breath, so she could only say coolly: "In the past, you might still have a chance. But Ah Man's current status is not worthy of people like us. Granny Guangma You can't pass even one level, let alone the old Hou Ye in the Hou's mansion."

Mingmei was splashed with cold water, and said with a displeased face: "I didn't expect that old woman to agree, but fortunately she is old and won't live long. As for Lord Hou in the Hou's mansion, I just have a bad background, but After all, I am a girl from a good family. Besides, I am not a regular wife, as long as I can be a concubine for Brother Ah Man, I am satisfied. Brother Ah Man is his only son, as long as Brother Ah Man likes me, Lord Hou will not care about these things Little things."

What Mingmei said made sense, but the girl was so angry that she wanted to say something more when she heard another knock on the door.

The people Xu Baichuan sent to visit had already left, and apart from Xu Baichuan and Zhao Jing, basically no one else would come here.Who will be out there?

Although he was puzzled, everyone who came was a guest.The two sisters looked at each other, and silently stopped their flags and drums.

"Here we come." The girl put away all the expressions on her face and went to open the door.

The girl outside the door had bright eyes and bright teeth, and she was in high spirits. She was wearing a bright red riding suit, which was lively and hot, and playful and sassy.She was wearing deerskin gloves, and she was holding a snakeskin whip in her hand. Her full and straight chest rose and fell with her rapid breathing. It was obvious that she was galloping all the way.Coupled with that delicate and confident face, it looks even more radiant.

"Miss Zhen." Seeing the person coming, the two sisters' expressions were not good-looking, and they couldn't help but ask: "Why is this annoying spirit here again?"

Zhen Yingying has an elegant demeanor and an extraordinary temperament, she belongs to the kind that can be picked out from the crowd at a glance.Whether it's appearance or demeanor, the two girls in front of them feel ashamed.

"Miss Yingying, why are you here at this time?" the girl muffled.

The girl sisters naturally know the origin of Zhen Yingying, and they heard that her father was a general who guarded the middle of Shu, and made great contributions during the Tubo Rebellion.When Zheng Xihou's class teacher returned to the court, General Zhen took her into Beijing.

Zhen Yingying and Zhao Jing met in the army, and Zhao Jing even saved her life.Since then, Zhen Yingying secretly promised Zhao Jingfang and inquired about him early in the morning.Knowing that Mrs. Ma was Zhao Jing's grandmother when she was living among the people, the two had a deep relationship.Naturally, Zhen Yingying would not let go of this opportunity.Not long after the Zhen family came to Beijing, she inquired about the residence of Mrs. Ma, and came here to show her courtesy under the guise of visiting every now and then.

"I'm here to see Grandma Ma, is she there?" Although the words were doubtful, Zhen Yingying didn't wait for them to answer.She threw the whip in her hand to the followers behind her, and walked in.

"Hey...Miss Yingying, mother-in-law is already asleep, don't let anyone disturb you." Mingmei couldn't hold her breath anymore. Seeing Zhen Yingying's delicate eyebrows and eyes and her well-arranged attire, she immediately became angry. Come on, slanderingly said: "Dressed up like this, why are you here to visit the elders? It's clearly to seduce men. Otherwise, why don't you come sooner or later, but Brother Ah Man came over as soon as he entered the door?"

Women's intuition is strangely accurate, and Zhen Yingying is not stupid, so she can naturally see that the two sisters are pushing back and forth, and they obviously don't want to see her.

Zhen Yingying had already found out the details of the two sisters.They were Zhao Jing's original neighbors in Pingyao County. Her father and elder brother were both gamblers. Granny Ma looked at them pitifully, so she brought them with her.It is said that in the early years, Mrs. Ma intended to let Zhao Jing marry her sister, but unfortunately Zhao Jing did not agree, so the matter was abandoned.

According to Zhen Yingying's identity, she naturally wouldn't take these two sisters seriously.But they served Mrs. Ma personally, had a relationship with Zhao Jing for many years, and they were close to the water.And Zhao Jing's attitude towards him is always indifferent, it's hard to even meet him.It turned out that when she was in the middle of Sichuan, Zhen Yingying could still find a way to stick to her.It's a pity that after returning to the capital, Zhao Jing is always very busy and hasn't seen anyone in the past few months.Zhen Yingying had no choice but to send someone to guard near Mrs. Ma's house. When she heard the news, she rushed over immediately.

Seeing that the two sisters were preventing them from entering, Zhen Yingying was even more convinced that Zhao Jing was inside.

Contemptuously looking at Mingmei with her eyebrows hanging, Zhen Yingying said disdainfully, "I'm here to see Grandma Ma, not you. Brother Jing won't stop me, so what are you doing?"

"Miss Yingying misunderstood." Although the girl wanted her sister to be embarrassed, the lady in front of her was something they couldn't afford.Seeing that Mingmei and Zhen Yingying had a conflict, the girl hurried forward and said, "Grandma Ma hasn't been resting very well these past few days, and she can't sleep well. Mingmei sees that Grandma Ma finally fell asleep, and she is afraid that it will affect her rest. I didn't intend to stop the lady."

Zhen Yingying obviously didn't believe it, she looked at the girl arrogantly, and said: "Grandma Ma doesn't sleep well, that's just right, I brought good supplements, making soup can calm the nerves and keep healthy, it's best for Grandma Ma .”

After saying this, Zhen Yingying rushed in with someone.

Zhen Yingying grew up in a military camp and had practiced martial arts, even if she didn't have followers around her, she couldn't be stopped by girls.

Seeing her go in, the girls and sisters had no choice but to trot all the way to follow.

Zhen Yingying found the room where Mrs. Ma lived, and before she entered, she heard laughter from inside.One of them is Mrs. Ma, and the other is of course Zhao Jing.

"Grandma Ma fell asleep just now?" Yin Yang read a word strangely, Zhen Yingying gave Ming Mei a contemptuous look, and stepped into the wing.

The lie was exposed, and the bright face was also blue and red.She was afraid that Zhen Yingying would talk nonsense in front of Zhao Jing and Mrs. Ma, so she quickly turned around and followed.

Although the girl really wants to see her sister suffer, but she is more sensible than Mingmei, and knows the truth that if one prospers, one prospers, one loses all.If Mingmei can't please Mrs. Ma, she, as the elder sister, can't get rid of it.The girl was worried, so she had to follow in.
