Hibiscus blooms on the edge of the city wall

Mingtai, Mingfu, and Axiang were fighting landlords in the living room, while Mingjing sat reading the newspaper, and from time to time helped resolve the lawsuits of the three children.

"Big sister, which of the three won?" Minglou came down from upstairs and asked with a smile.

"Of course I won, Axiang is playing tricks." Mingtai said hurriedly.

"How can I cheat?" Ah Xiang retorted.

"Sister, this is my New Year's gift for you." Mingcheng followed Minglou and handed a painting to Mingjing.

"You drew this?" Ming Jing took it happily: "That's great, I really like it. Ah Cheng, thank you." Ming Jing admired the painting, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it: "What's the name of this painting?"

Mingcheng: "No title."

Minglou: "Homeland." The two looked at each other, and Mingcheng bowed his head in concession.

Ming Jing looked at the two suspiciously: "What's the name?"

"I think it should be called Homeland." Minglou said.

"Well, the name sounds nice, how can it be called Untitled?" Ming Jing said in agreement, then turned to tell Ming Tai: "Go to the paper shop in a while and frame it."

"I won't go, it's so cold outside, why don't you let Xiaofu go?" Mingtai protested.

"How do you act like a brother? Xiao Fu's health is not good, what should I do if I get sick from the cold outside?" Ming Jing said angrily.

"Okay, I'll go..." Mingtai said resignedly.

"No wonder you refused to give this painting to me, so it was for my eldest sister!" Mingfu stood aside, pouted.

"Brother Ah Cheng's paintings are almost all hanging in your room, do you have room to put them?" Mingtai said unceremoniously.

"You want to take care of it?" Ming Fu gave Ming Tai a hard look.

"Cut, who cares about you?" Mingtai rolled his eyes, picked up a magazine from the coffee table and handed it to Minglou: "Brother, I want to buy this shirt."

Ming Lou glanced at the magazine: "This style is not novel, not only is it not novel, but it also looks a bit conservative."

"Conservative is classic, and look, the cufflinks are compass, so chic!"

"Does it look good?" Minglou looked at Mingcheng inquiringly.

"Anyway, I like it." Mingtai said.

"The price is also pretty good." Mingcheng said resentfully.

"Are you going to buy it or not?" Mingtai asked impatiently.

"Buy, buy." Minglou agreed, then turned to Mingcheng and said, "Ah Cheng, look at the style he chose, buy me one tomorrow too."

"You are not allowed to buy it." Mingtai said anxiously: "I don't like other people wearing the same clothes as me. Brother Ah Cheng, you are not allowed to buy this either."

"I don't have the money to buy it either." Mingcheng muttered in a low voice.

Mingfu glanced at the magazine with her head bent, and said, "Brother, this shirt looks too old-fashioned, it doesn't suit you."

"Tch, I don't look good in clothes, who can look good in them?" Mingtai glanced at Mingcheng knowingly and asking: "I know, in your heart, no one can look good in clothes, right?"

"How can there be so many words?" Mingfu stared at Mingtai bitterly.

"Hey? Who is it? Who does Xiao Fu think looks good in clothes?" Ming Jing asked because he didn't know.

Mingfu glanced at Mingcheng, lowered her head in embarrassment, Mingcheng had a calm expression, but her cheeks were slightly flushed.And Minglou and Mingtai glanced at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

"What kind of expressions do you all have?" Ming Jing looked at the strange expressions of several people, a little dazed.

"Okay, big sister, today is Big Brother Mingtang's new perfume launch event, I'm late, I'm afraid Brother Mingtang will be unhappy, so let's go quickly." Minglou smoothed things over in a timely manner.

"Yes, I forgot the business, let's go." Ming Jing said.

"Sister, I won't go. I don't like that kind of social occasions the most. I'll go to frame Brother Ah Cheng's picture in a while." Mingtai said.

Ming Jing thought for a while, and said: "Okay then, be careful when you go out."

"I heard that Chen Xuanyu will come today?" Ming Fu asked while sitting beside Ming Cheng.

"She is the sales agent invited by Brother Ming, of course she will come." Mingcheng replied in a low voice.

Mingfu curled her lips, a little curious: "I heard that she is from the pro-Japanese faction, why would Big Brother Mingtang invite her?"

Mingcheng looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice and said, "There is a Japanese woman who wants to raise money for Ming Jiaxiang, so elder brother can think of a way for Mingtang."

"Oh." Mingfu nodded knowingly.

Mingfu watched Chen Xuanyu scratching her head and posing on the stage, feeling bored in her heart, so she whispered to Mingcheng, "Brother Ah Cheng, I'm going to the bathroom."

"I'll go with you, there are many people outside." Mingcheng said with concern.

"No need, I can do it myself."

"Well then, be careful."

Mingfu came out of the bathroom and saw Brother Ming arguing with the hotel manager in the corridor, so she walked over to find out: "Brother, what happened?"

Mingtang waved his hand and said to the manager: "None of my press conferences are newcomers, they are all distinguished guests who arrived in the morning. Don't be presumptuous. There are people in our Ming family."

The manager nodded and said yes, and then quickly left.

Only then did Mingtang ask Xiang Mingfu: "Why did you come out?"

"I'm going to the bathroom. What were you talking about?"

"It's nothing, it's just that someone beat up the Japanese and then sealed off the hotel to arrest some anti-Japanese elements. I really didn't expect such a hero to exist in Shanghai."

Mingfu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and understood in her heart, and was about to follow Brother Mingtang to say a few words, but didn't want to look up and see Mingtai holding a rose, hanging on the pillar .Mingfu was startled, and walked quickly towards Mingtai, lowering her voice: "What's going on?"

"Help me..." Mingtai raised his eyebrows, his mouth remained still, and he relied entirely on his voice to pronounce.

Mingtang was a little dazed when he saw Mingtai at first, but he reacted in a flash and beckoned for Mingtai to come over.

"Brother, I'm here." Mingtai walked up to Mingtang bouncingly, and handed roses: "Thank you."

Mingtang snatched the rose angrily, and eagerly pulled up Mingtai: "Don't say anything, follow me."

Mingtang walked to the stage holding Mingtai with one hand and Mingfu with the other, and said loudly: "Miss Chen Xuanyu sang evening primrose for everyone just now, and then my younger brother and younger sister will bring you a song called Four Hands." Lianbo Evening Primrose, I hope everyone likes it.”

Ming Jing asked strangely: "Why is Mingtai here?"

Minglou and Mingcheng glanced at each other quickly, and they basically understood what was going on in their hearts.

"Maybe you can't hold back at home?" Minglou said.

Mingtai and Mingfu sat on the piano and began to play, when Wang Manchun rushed in with No. 76.

"Don't be nervous." Mingtai said in a low voice.

Mingfu looked down the stage and nodded.

"Why is she here?" Ming Jing frowned, and asked Ming Lou in disgust.

Minglou whispered to Mingcheng, "Go and have a look."

"Yes." Mingcheng replied in a low voice, and then quickly walked towards Wang Manchun: "Director Wang, why are you here?"

"Secretary Li found a suspicious person in the Japanese consulate and was injured during the follow-up process. That person fled to this hotel. We are investigating the suspects one by one." Wang Manchun explained.

Mingcheng nodded to express his understanding, then turned to Secretary Li and said, "Why is your face hurt like this? Go to the hospital quickly. Isn't there Director Wang here?"

"No, he can't leave, he has to stay for me to identify the suspect." Wang Manchun hurriedly stopped him.

When Mingcheng heard this, he cried out inwardly, frowning and asked Secretary Li, "Can you recognize him?"

"almost."

"What do you mean almost? Do you recognize it or not? Now our family is holding a press conference. If you go in like this and identify them one by one and mess up the place, Chief Ming will be angry." Mingcheng said sternly, trying to Put pressure on Secretary Li.

"I can recognize his back and voice." Secretary Li hurriedly explained.

Mingcheng felt relieved a little, and said to Wang Manchun: "Look, director Wang, the husband and the young miss have come to join us, and we have also invited the famous singer Chen Xuanyu. You know, this person is very difficult to get. I also heard that this person has a background in the Japanese military, why don't you go to the hotel entrance to identify him, it is really not suitable here."

It just so happened that after Mingtai and Mingfu played the curtain call, all the guests stood up and applauded. Wang Manchun asked Secretary Li in a low voice, "How is it? Can you recognize me?"

Secretary Li shook his head, indicating that there is none here.

"Send someone to guard the gate." Wang Manchun ordered his subordinates, and then took the lead and walked out.

Seeing Wang Manchun leave on stage, Mingfu breathed a sigh of relief.Mingtai squeezed Mingfu's hand quietly, and whispered, "It's all right."

"Finally passed the test." Mingfu grinned.

With Mingcheng on her shoulders, Mingfu followed Mingjing and Minglou out of the venue.Mingcheng walked to the door of the hotel, let go of Mingfu and walked quickly towards Secretary Li, and said with a look of concern: "Secretary Li, you should go to the doctor immediately after you are done, you don't have to go to work tomorrow."

"Yes."

Taking advantage of Mingcheng talking to Secretary Li, Mingfu dragged Mingtai out of the hotel gate.

Sitting in the car, Mingfu really felt relieved.I only heard Mingcheng report to Minglouhui: "Secretary Li went to the Japanese consulate to deliver documents and found a suspicious person. He followed him to the street and was beaten up."

Ming Jing scolded, "It serves you right."

Mingtai glanced at Mingfu and secretly smiled.

Mingfu glared at Mingtai angrily.But after a while, he became afraid. If Mingtai didn't meet him today, how would he get out of danger?Ming Fu looked up at the two people sitting in front, and sighed in her heart: "Men from the Ming family, it's not easy!"
