Hibiscus blooms on the edge of the city wall

Ming Fu originally planned to go to Hong Kong with her eldest sister, but the night before her departure, she was drenched in light rain. Miss Ming Er, who was always in poor health, fell ill without any accident, so the trip to Hong Kong was naturally cancelled.

Mingfu looked at Mingcheng's painting boredly. What Mingcheng painted today was a landscape painting. The scenery was unique and pastoral. Axiang stood aside and watched with admiration.

"Ah..." Mingfu rubbed her nose in embarrassment.

"I haven't recovered from the cold yet. I'll ask Dr. Su to come and have a look at the house later." Minglou opened a bottle of champagne, poured the aroma into a goblet, and poured himself a glass of wine. It's been a long time since he felt so good. In the mood!

"No need, it will be fine soon." Mingfu said nonchalantly.

Ming Lou leisurely walked over to Ming Cheng with champagne in his hand: "Why do you want to paint again?"

Mingcheng stared at the oil painting intently, not at him: "Then what about you, why do you want to drink again?"

Minglou smiled slightly: "Are you planning to hang it there after the painting is finished?"

Mingfu wanted to give it to her and hang it in her room, but before she could say anything, she heard Mingcheng say indifferently: "How about hanging it in the living room?"

Mingfu pouted her mouth unhappily.

"The living room?" Minglou thought for a while, "Your painting is a bit small."

"Exquisite!" Mingfu said.

Mingcheng nodded, and looked at Minglou nervously.

"Exquisite?" Minglou took a sip of champagne, and said critically: "The tone and light are not bad, but the spatial level is a bit weak."

Mingfu: "..." Brother, can you be more obvious?

Ah Xiang: "..." Eldest young master, I think it looks pretty good!

Mingcheng: "...I just want to weaken the space and highlight the colors."

Ming Fu: "Brother Ah Cheng is awesome!"

Minglou glanced at Mingfu: "Not modest."

Mingcheng smiled without saying a word.

Ah Xiang interrupted suddenly: "Young Master, I think Brother Ah Cheng's paintings are very beautiful. Look at the water, trees, and houses, how beautiful they are!"

"It's very beautiful, it's really like a home!" Ming Lou said with emotion, and there was longing in his eyes. "What's the name of this painting?"

"What name do you want for a landscape painting?" Mingcheng said casually, "Untitled."

"Untitled? Not good." Mingfu denied.

"Then what do you call it?" Mingcheng asked gently.

"I want to call it home." Minglou said.

"Homeland? Young master, whose home is like this?" Axiang asked.

"I think my future home should look like this, by the lake and by the woods."

"Then you can live by yourself, the eldest lady and the young master will definitely not go."

"It's better if you don't come, I live alone and quiet. Do you see how clean I am these days?"

Ah Xiang snickered.

Mingcheng pouted.

Mingfu asked with a look of disbelief: "Brother, you don't even take me with you?"

Minglou looked at Mingfu curiously: "Will you come with me?"

"Why don't you want to?"

"Well, it's just us brother and sister, not even Ah Cheng..." Minglou said with a smirk.

Mingfu: "Eh..." If you don't take it, don't take it, do you need to emphasize it so deliberately?

Mingcheng: "Ah..." What?I was just abandoned?

Ah Xiang: "Ah..." What's the matter?Why can't I understand?

"Dingling..." The phone rang, and Ah Xiang hurried to answer the phone: "Hello, yes, it's Ming Mansion, who are you looking for? Mr. Mingcheng, yes, yes..." Ah Xiang looked at Mingcheng, Mingcheng made a gesture immediately, and asked after understanding: "What is your name, sir? Oh, Mr. Liang."

Mingcheng handed the paintbrush to Mingfu beside him, and answered the phone: "Hi, Mr. Liang, what's the matter?"

Minglou winked at Axiang, and Axiang returned to her room intelligently. Minglou looked at Mingfu again, and motioned for her to leave too, but Mingfu was unmoved. Gestures on.Minglou had no choice but to ignore her.Seeing that Minglou didn't care about her anymore, Mingfu pretended to be painting and pricked up her ears.

"What? The goods from Wusongkou? Oh, a ship of fruit, is that a ship of golden fruit? The whole ship is full, and the blind know what it is." Mingcheng said.

Mingfu laughed in a low voice when she heard it was funny, but was frightened by Minglou's warning eyes and held back.

"Seafood, seafood is ready? You can't suppress that product at all, Brother Ah Cheng, please help." Liang Zhongchun's voice on the phone was a little impatient.

"Seafood, cigarettes, candy, and the most important thing is opium cream. Mr. Liang, you can rebuild a No. 76 by adding up your profits on the surface and in the dark."

Mingfu was startled when she heard that, she paused her brushstrokes, the color of the clouds became much heavier, it was not pure white clouds, which made people look very depressing.

Minglou saw Mingfu's performance, but didn't speak.

"I don't even know what you're talking about." Liang Zhongchun deliberately interrupted.

"I don't know what I said, but you still call me?" Mingcheng was about to hang up, when Liang Zhongchun yelled on the phone: "Wait, wait, we have something to discuss."

Mingcheng picked up the phone again: "Call me when you're done thinking about it."

"Wait..." Liang Zhongchun said hastily: "[-]%, I'll give you [-]% of the profit."

Mingcheng looked at Minglou, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Ten percent? If Mr. Ming found out, he would have skinned me."

Minglou and Mingcheng looked at each other, and they both pursed their lips and smiled.

"Brother Ah Cheng, I still have customs clearance brothers to take care of." Liang Zhongchun almost begged.

"You have taken care of me, who else do you need to take care of?" Mingcheng obviously didn't buy it.

"Twenty percent profit."

"Thirty to seven."

"Deal." Liang Zhongchun gritted his back molars and choked out two words.

"I'll pick it up for you tomorrow."

"No, I will pick up the goods tonight." Liang Zhongchun said anxiously: "Brother, please work hard."

Mingcheng glanced at his watch, and readily agreed: "Okay. See you at Wusongkou in half an hour. I happen to have an official letter from the city government to send to you."

"it is good."

Minglou took a sip of champagne, and said to Mingfu in a low voice, "Lion, open your mouth."

Seeing that Mingcheng hung up the phone, Mingfu knew that he was going out, so she handed the paintbrush to Minglou, went to the sofa and brought Mingcheng's overcoat, and after helping Mingcheng put it on, she instructed: "Drive careful."

"Yes, rest early." Mingcheng patted Mingfu on the shoulder, turned his head and said to Minglou, "Don't damage my painting."

"It's broken, I'm fixing it."

After Mingfu sent Mingcheng out, she looked depressed and unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Ming Lou asked proactively.

"Brother, are you really doing things that benefit the country and the people?" Ming Fu looked directly at Ming Lou and asked.

Knowing that the phone call just now made this clever younger sister suspicious, Ming Lou sighed inwardly.Ming Lou put both hands on Ming Fu's shoulders, and said earnestly, "Little Fu, there are some things you don't understand, and Big Brother doesn't want you to understand either. Big Brother just wants you to be safe and live a simple and happy life."

"But big brother, now that the family river is broken, the country will lose the country, and the people of the country are in dire straits, how can we talk about peace and happiness?"

"Believe me, brother, one day, each of us Chinese will be safe, happy, and live a carefree life!"

"But how long will we have to wait for that day?" Mingfu's eyes were full of confusion.

"It's getting dark, can dawn be far behind?" Ming Lou cast his gaze into the distance.

Mingfu pondered for a while: "Brother, I believe in you, Brother Ah Cheng."

"No, you should trust us Chinese!" Minglou said firmly.

"Yes." Mingfu nodded heavily.

After Mingfu returned to the room, Minglou picked up the paintbrush again, revised on the drawing board, and muttered, "Don't let me move me! Humph, the painting is about my house, not yours!"
