[The pretender is deeply in love] The ups and downs of troubled times

On New Year's Eve in 1939, the Ming mansion was brightly lit all night, bursts of cheerful laughter came from the house, and even the snowflakes floating outside the window were infected, dancing in the air like butterflies.

Mingtai folded his arms around his chest and put his elbows on the dining table, as delicate and naive as a child: "Elder sister, I want to listen to an opera."

Ming Jing looked at him dotingly: "It's late at night, where can I go to listen to the opera? The theater has long since dispersed."

Mingtai smiled but said nothing, looking thoughtfully at Mingtai who bowed his head to eat, his eyes were as bright as stars under the shadow of the light: "Why do you go to the theater, brother, you can sing much better than them."

Ah Cheng raised his head with a smile, glanced at Mingtai and Minglou respectively, shook his head with a smile and continued to eat.

Minglou put down his chopsticks, his dark and deep eyes were not blocked by the glasses, and became more fierce and aggressive. He looked straight at Mingtai without saying a word.

Mingtai's smile was still innocent and unaffected in the slightest.

But Ming Jing, who was sitting in the main seat, felt the weird atmosphere and looked at the two of them: "Oh, your elder brother is also tired, let's listen to it another day."

"What's the matter?" Mingtai swayed his body slightly, the corners of his lips slanted, "Because you've become a high-ranking official, you'll lose your worth by singing for us."

Both Axiang and Chanjuan could hear the sarcasm in the words, they both put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time and looked nervous, only Su Yunyi seemed to be outside the situation and continued to eat unmoved.

Ming Jing helplessly looked at his younger brother who was brought up by himself, who was as precious as a son, and finally looked at Minglou in compromise, with a look of discussion on his face: "Why don't you just come for a while? Just for a while?"

"Brother, once a year, you can sing a section." Ah Cheng also joined in the persuasion, and pointed to the person opposite who was having a good meal: "Yunyi, you haven't heard elder brother sing, have you? ah?"

Su Yunyi, who was named innocently, finished chewing the food in her mouth slowly, raised her head and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "I don't want to hear it."

"Why?" Ah Cheng laughed calmly, relieving the slightly embarrassing atmosphere: "I thought you would really like to see, the big brother who has always been rigorous, let others 'fish'?"

Su Yunyi rolled her eyes at him and shook her head.She didn't want to see him being fished, but she wanted to know where the smell of perfume on his body came from.She didn't think that such a strong feminine fragrance, which represented love, was his choice.

Minglou looked at the bright-eyed people, and finally nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, several people moved to the living room, and Ah Cheng even picked up the erhu to accompany Minglou, "Then I will wait for the elder sister to come to Westgate today?"

As soon as Ming Jing clapped his hands and said yes, Ming Tai said badly with a straight face: "I want to hear Su Wu herding sheep."

The atmosphere in the living room dropped to freezing point again, Ah Cheng frowned lightly, Minglou remained silent, Mingjing's face was a little embarrassed, only Mingtai's eyes flickered with persistence: "I just want to hear Su Wu shepherd the sheep."

Su Wu shepherds the story that Su Wu was detained in the first year of the Tianhan Dynasty when he was ordered to go to the Xiongnu as an envoy to the Xiongnu.The Xiongnu nobles threatened and lured him many times to surrender. Then they moved him to the North Sea to herd sheep, threatening to release him back home only after the ram has a son.Su Wu went through many hardships and stayed in the Xiongnu for 19 years, unyielding.In the sixth year of the first Yuan Dynasty, Fang was released and returned to Han Dynasty.

"Isn't today New Year's Eve? It's a festive day. Why do you have to listen to such a tragic song?" Ming Jing looked at Mingtai gently, as if treating a child who was not sensible: "Why don't you listen to Westgate? My Lennon, it is more in line with today's atmosphere."

"I like to listen to Westgate on weekdays, but today I want to listen to Su Wu Shepherd even more." When he said this, Mingtai's eyes firmly hit Minglou, "This can teach us to learn to remember bitterness and think sweetness, Know how to cherish the present life.”

The people present are all human beings, how can they not understand Mingtai's true meaning.It's just that no one has broken it, and it seems that they are still making some efforts for this beautiful New Year's Eve.

"It's really enough. If you want to listen, you can listen to what everyone likes." Su Yunyi, who has been silent on the sidelines doing a Bodhisattva, resisted kicking Mingtai: "Just listen to Westgate, I want to hear it too, I want to hear Meilong Dragon Town is gone."

If there are, she is really hard to say.It's not because I can't speak, it's just that I don't want to speak in front of the mirror.In her eyes, Mingtai is a spoiled child, everyone accommodates him, and almost anything he asks for can be obtained.Even Brother Minglou, who claims to be strict, will compromise intentionally or unconsciously.

Therefore, this has also created the momentum that Mingtai wants to get wind and rain at home.Simply, at the beginning of human beings, nature is good.The goodness cultivated in his bones did not make him grow crooked.In addition, he can almost stab anyone, no matter who, for his own sake.He has his own ideas, but the result based on hurting others really makes her disagree.

"Yunyi," Mingtai finally turned around and looked at her: "Su Wu Muyang is talking about..."

"I know," Su Yunyi interrupted Mingtai's words, her dark eyes flashed with an unbearable light: "I want to listen to Mei! Long! Zhen!"

It's this kind of eyes again, whenever Yunyi insists on something, there will always be such a light in his eyes.And this kind of light will make him think of the gentle and strong mother who has passed away. Although it is a cute idea, he will always bow down under this kind of eyes.He didn't want to disobey his mother...

"Okay, just listen to the Huaihe camp." Mingtai finally compromised.Anyway, since I've come back, that matter can be done step by step.

Ming Jing brushed his breath secretly, and took a few sneaky glances at Yunyi and Mingtai. The more he looked at these two children, the more they matched, and they looked like husband and wife.As a child I brought up, I know that Mingtai is not a character who easily compromises. Now that he is willing to succumb to Yunyi, he must have feelings, and he is trying to match it up.

Ming Jing smiled and bent his eyebrows, immersed in the babbling and tender Westgate.

'Creak...' A slight sound woke everyone up. The door of the living room was pushed open from the outside, and the biting cold wind rushed in. There was a woman in her fifties or sixties standing at the door, wearing a khaki padded jacket. Looking at Ming Jing awkwardly with her old and dissatisfied face of Chrysanthemum Gully, she bowed slightly: "Miss."

Turning his head to look at Ah Cheng whose face became stiff, he called out joyfully, "Ah Cheng."

Ming Jing clasped his hands in front of his lower abdomen, with a stiff smile on his face: "Ah Cheng, time has changed, please forgive Aunt Gui."

Su Yunyi secretly pulled Mingtai down, "Who is she?"

"I don't know." I haven't seen this person since I arrived at Ming's house, and I don't know her origin, but now it seems that Brother Ah Cheng and this Aunt Gui seem to have some kind of connection.Mingtai's inquisitive eyes flicked back and forth on several people.

Ah Cheng pondered for a while, put down the erhu in his hand, turned around and went upstairs, leaving the few people who met each other in the living room behind.

Aunt Gui looked at the figure that quickly disappeared in the stairwell, with tears in her eyes.Ming Jing sighed lightly: "The child hasn't turned the corner, so don't think too much about it. Ah Xiang, clean up a room for Aunt Gui, and you can stay here first."

"Thank you, Miss." Aunt Gui bowed again and followed Ah Xiang to the guest room.

Ah Cheng's character has not changed at all over the years. Ming Jing glanced at Ming Lou and sighed again, and smiled wryly: "Everyone is tired tonight, let's go upstairs to rest."

This night was not destined to be a peaceful night, except for Axiang and Chanjuan, almost everyone in the Ming Mansion couldn't sleep through the night.Although Su Yunyi was looking forward to Minglou's arrival and explanation, she understood the reason why he couldn't come over tonight. He was the only one who could be by Ah Cheng's side at such a time.

Ah Cheng's room was pitch black with no light at all. He just came back from Ming Lou's room and lay on his back on the bed without any sleepiness. All the scenes in his mind were scenes from his childhood.The woman who took herself away from the orphanage to give herself light, and finally pushed herself into the abyss; he didn't know what kind of mood she came back here. Could it be that after she abused herself like that, could she still expect her Did you call her 'mother' without any obstruction?

A sneer appeared on the corner of Ah Cheng's lips, he really couldn't do it.He couldn't forget the hardships he had suffered when he was a child. If his elder sister and elder brother hadn't found him, he still didn't know what was waiting for him.

Having a headache, he straightened his hair, Ah Cheng buried himself in the pillow, he needs to calm down...
