The Pretender's Taoyaoyi Building

"What is this?" Mingcheng took the letter from Minglou, opened it and read it.

"People from Zhongtong asked Taoyao to bring it to me." Minglou really didn't dare to underestimate the legendary first-generation instructor of Zhongtong.

"Sure enough, the big brother guessed it right." Mingcheng read the letter, "He wants to invite the Japanese to come to Shanghai to preside over the overall situation."

Minglou chuckled, "This is all secondary. He still wants to check my bottom line in the end. Even if I have no problems, he still hopes to find some problems. First of all, he always remembers that I am a child of the enemy, and I am afraid of raising tigers." Second, I hope to find out some of my mistakes, so as to destroy the possible union between me and Takeda Hongichi." It's a pity that he didn't see him become Takeda's son-in-law in the end, it's a pity, it would be great if he saw it.

Outside.

Ah Xiang introduced a man of good fortune.

Ding Jing immediately greeted him when he heard the news.

The man was Mingtang, the eldest grandson of the Ming family, and he handed over his hands, "Big sister, happy new year."

"Brother, Happy New Year." Ming Jing stepped forward and bowed, raised his body and said affectionately, "Brother, we just want to take Minglou's family and Mingtai to pay New Year's greetings to elder brother and sister-in-law, but let elder brother condescend first, why not?" Excuse me?"

"One family doesn't talk about two families." Mingtang didn't care about these vain gifts, "Originally your sister-in-law was going to come, but a few poker players dragged her away early in the morning, and she asked me to bring you a treat."

Ming Jing smiled.

Taoyao took Mingrui through now, "Brother, Happy New Year." He came during the wedding.

"Uncle, happy new year." Mingrui also knew him.

Mingtang saw Taoyao, "brothers and sisters, it's just right for you to come, where is Minglou?" His tone was a bit wrong.

Ming Jing answered first, "It's in the study."

"I have something to do with him." Mingtang made a gesture and walked towards the study.

"Yo." Ming Jing blocked it, "What can be the matter? Are you still looking for him?"

"It's useless for me to tell you." Ming Tang was quite anxious, "You, brother and sister, come too."

Tao Yao was named, somewhat inexplicable.

Mingtang knocked on the study room, opened the door and walked in.

Mingcheng turned around and greeted him first, "Yo, big brother is here, happy new year."

Ming Tang looked angry.

"But your complexion doesn't seem very good." Mingcheng deliberately eased the atmosphere, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Minglou who was sitting behind the desk seemed to put something into the drawer.

"You go out first, I have something to tell Minglou." Mingtang's attitude towards this Mingcheng is not good, in his eyes he is just Minglou's housekeeper, calling himself a big brother is disrespectful.

Mingcheng knew it all along, Dui laughed, "Yes."

Only then did Ming Lou get up, "Brother, it's the New Year's Eve, who are you angry with? Come, sit down."

Mingtang turned around first, and walked to the door of the study, "Sister and brother, you come in too." He said abruptly.

"Brother, is it appropriate for me to be present when you are talking to Minglou?" Tao Yao felt inappropriate.

Mingtang stared, "You said that when you were managing business in Tianjin, come in quickly!"

Tao Yao had no choice but to sneak a peek at Ming Jing.

Der Spiegel nodded.

Tao Yao just entered.

Inside the study.

The three were seated.

Mingtang was furious.

"What's going on, someone bullied you?" Minglou asked.

Mingtang glanced at Minglou and then at Taoyao beside him, "It's not bullying me, it's bullying our Ming family!"

Minglou couldn't help being serious, "Is there really someone so bold?" He raised his hand, "Who are you talking about, I'll support you!"

What Mingtang was waiting for was Minglou's words, so he opened up the conversation, "It's like this, a Japanese woman came to the chamber of commerce to find me, and said that she wanted to start a joint venture with me in the perfume business."

Tao Yao just listened and said nothing.

"Although we separated from our father's generation, and the perfume brand belongs to my eldest grandson, the golden signboard of Mingjiaxiang was left by our ancestors. If you say this Japanese, she said that it is a joint venture, and she counts it. What... I'm sorry, brother and sister, I didn't refer to you." Mingtang still had doubts about Taoyao's identity, "I can't just sit and watch the golden signboard created by our ancestors be destroyed by the Japanese, even if we take [-] steps back. Joint venture, my younger brother and sister are here, I'm guilty of joint venture with other people." Excitedly stood up and gesticulated, "Also, the position you are sitting in now...is not a good position." Ming Tang pointed to Ming Lou, "But you have to put This thing cleared me up."

Minglou listened to what Mingtang said, nodding from time to time.

"If you don't settle this matter for me, I, I'll come to you every day..." Mingtang didn't know why he was so angry that he couldn't say anything good, but he had such a temper himself, "Cry, I'll cry and I'll tell you .”

"Then you cry for me first, and I'll see." Minglou suggested desperately.

"Hey, you little bastard." Ming Tang made a gesture, "Believe it or not, I'll whip you with a belt!"

It's time to smoke!Tao Yao thought to herself.

"Brother, don't get angry." Ming Lou got up now, "Get angry and hurt your body, come here, sit, sit, isn't she just a Japanese woman." Ask him to sit down again, "I dare not say anything else, this kind of trivial matter It’s really not worth getting angry.”

Ming Tang sat down again, "What can you do?" Hearing what he said, it seemed that there was a way.

"It's not easy." Tao Yao also had an idea in her heart, "Brother, I heard that you will have a new perfume on the market, how about it, our family will be there to support it; as for that Japanese woman, if she comes to see you again, you Ask her to find me in the special high class."

Ming Tang looked at Ming Lou, "Is this okay?"

"What's wrong, she is your younger brother and sister, and also the daughter-in-law of the Ming family." Minglou originally wanted to spend some money to ask Chen Xuanyu, who also has a background in the Japanese military, to understand the matter, but Taoyao said first, "Like a big brother." Speaking of which, outsiders intervened in the business of our Ming family; we all went to the new product launch, which Japanese with no eyes would dare to mess with General Takeda's beloved daughter."

"It's a deal?" Mingtang moved his right eye when he heard this way of saving money and worry.

Minglou solemnly said, "It's a deal!"

Mingtang smiled brightly, "Sister and sister, I'll leave this matter to you, and also, if this kid dares to treat you badly, come directly to elder brother, I'll whip him with a belt!"

"That can't be done, it hurts, and my heart hurts." Tao Yao refused, coquettishly.

Minglou turned his eyes, smiling sweetly.

Ming Tang chuckled, "You, treat your siblings well."

Minglou raised his hand to cover the back of her hand, "Brother said yes." He held it, then pursed his lips and smiled very sweetly.

"Brother, let's have dinner with us today." Tao Yao persuaded Liu Mingtang, "My old friend from Tianjin has also come to Shanghai to try her cooking. I'm not boasting. Her Lu cuisine is really good."

"That's fine, so don't bother me." Mingtang was naturally happy to have resolved the matter without spending a penny.

Minglou waved his hand, "Oh, big brother, the family doesn't talk about each other; in fact, we also want to thank you. You didn't say anything about Taoyao's coming in, and you came to our wedding."

"It's mainly because of the younger siblings." Mingtang now speaks kindly to Taoyao, "It has nothing to do with you kid."

Tao Yao stood up, "Brother, talk to Minglou for a while, and I'll go talk to Eldest Sister."

"Go." Ming Lou let go of his hand.

Tao Yao leaves with a smile.

……

kitchen door.

Mingcheng looked at Aunt Gui at a loss inside, as if everything she did was wrong, and he didn't immediately notice Taoyao standing behind him.When he regained his composure and turned around, Taoyao had been standing for some time.

Mingcheng was a little embarrassed, "I..."

"Brother wants to stay for dinner, I'll tell Mama Hu to cook some delicious dishes." Tao Yao spoke first, and walked over while talking, "By the way, will little uncle come back for dinner?"

"He didn't say anything when he left, so there's no need to prepare him." He must have gone to the photo studio to prepare for that task. "You can eat whatever you want when you come back."

Tao Yao turned around suddenly.

Mingcheng was startled, raised his hand to touch his face, "Is there something dirty?"

"Do you know who is the hardest to deceive?" Tao Yao laughed, "Myself!" and turned and walked into the kitchen.

Mingcheng's 'startled' turned into 'shock'.

"Miss, why are you here?" Mother Hu's voice came from the kitchen.

Mingcheng immediately laughed.

-

After a day.

Dr. Su was picked up by Ah Cheng early in the morning. After a series of examinations, she put away her stethoscope, "My suggestion is to hope that you rest at home. Although it is better than the previous few days, the overall situation is still not optimistic; if you If there is bleeding, go to the hospital immediately, after all, I am not a professional obstetrician."

Ming Jing was beside him, "Then rest, let Minglou continue to ask for leave." Nervously, he directly ordered his younger brother who was also present, "Minglou, do you hear me!"

Tao Yao was lying on the bed: Yoko Nantian would probably bring a Japanese doctor here if she continued to rest, but disobedience to her eldest sister was also a suicide attempt. This kind of thing must not be done, and I can only hope for my husband.

Minglou had the same idea as her, but her physical condition was also very important. "Sister, don't you still have something to ask Dr. Su?"

Ming Jing remembered, "Yes, Dr. Su, I just have something to ask you; Ming Lou, take good care of your wife." Ask Su Ran to go out.

Ming Lou saw them off, and closed the door, "What should I do?"

"It's okay, I just listen to the doctor and don't have to live anymore." Taoyao didn't think it was that serious, "Why don't Mo Lin and I put on makeup and go to a regular hospital for an examination?" Mo Lin will not attract attention when he first arrives in Shanghai.

Minglou clenched his fists, but still smiled on his face, "That's fine, I have to go to a regular hospital to have a look."

Tao Yao raised her hand and held his clenched hand, "It's not your fault, it's just the result of my willful behavior. It's okay, I can hold on."

The hand that clenched his fist was released, and he held her instead, rubbing her bony knuckles with his fingertips, "...Okay..."

"Minglou." She bent and tightened her fingers, "I didn't come here to worry you, you don't have to worry about me, you can do whatever you want, I'm confident in you!" She said it naturally, and she wanted to pull her hands and prepare to change clothes go to the hospital.

She didn't withdraw her fingers, but raised her eyes.

Hands are let go.

"Be careful."

Tao Yao got up, walked in front of him, raised her hand and pinched the tip of his nose, "Don't be hypocritical, I don't like it." Turning her back, she went to change clothes, her attitude was very relaxed, "Don't follow, the license plate is too eye-catching."

Minglou is helpless but can't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth: this is his radiant beauty, he won't deliberately say that he is different from others, but he is really strong.

……

From some church hospital.

Maureen started the car, "You should rest more."

Tao Yao sat in the back row, looking at the case in English: The situation is really similar to what Dr. Su said, and I hope she can lie down for the best.Eyes lowered, hands on the lower abdomen: baby, mom still has a lot of things to do, you have to be strong in mom's womb, don't let dad worry so much, what he has to face is very dangerous, there is a slight difference...so , you have to be strong and stay in your mother's stomach. "Han Zisheng said that Fan Jianghai went to Fujian, which is already within the scope of the third war zone. Has the Southern Bureau given us any special tasks?"

"No, I still hope that you can establish a turnover channel as soon as possible." Mo Lin drove the car "while collecting all possible information."

"Understood." Of course Taoyao understood that this was the protection of her superiors. "Go home."

Ming family.

"Aunt Gui, to make this black tea, you need to boil the water." Axiu prevented her from putting down the tea bag ahead of time. "The taste of the unboiled water is not right. Miss will know it once she drinks it."

"Oh." Aunt Gui withdrew her hand in embarrassment, "I don't know."

Axiu smiled sweetly, "It's okay, Aunt Gui, I'll just do these things in the future; Miss said that you are the best at making soup. Mr. Ming has been very tired recently, why don't you cook a good soup to supplement him. A few days ago Miss got a good Shouwu plant, and Mama Hu said Shouwu Milk Chicken Soup is very good, why don't you cook this soup, and Mr. Cheng and the young master can also drink it."

"Oh, good." Aunt Gui nodded at the girl.

Axiu put down the black tea, "I'll bring it to you when Miss comes back."

"Miss Axiu, you don't have to be so polite." Aunt Gui also seemed to want to establish a good relationship with her. "You are from the eldest mistress, so I need to ask you if I don't understand anything in the future."

"You're welcome." Axiu quickly waved her hand, "My lady is actually very kind, and you'll know it when you get along with her, but what she doesn't tolerate the most is people who betray the master. Let her know who dares to eat inside and outside, but there is no good fruit to eat." After all, she is also the daughter of General Takeda." He whispered.

Aunt Gui sighed, "Yes, then I'll send some fruits to the eldest lady first, and then give them to me when you get the Shouwu."

"Okay." Axiu agreed.

Aunt Gui left the kitchen.

Hu Ma walked into "Don't let her notice."

Axiu nodded, "But do you really think she is the person you saw in the Northeast? Didn't you say you didn't see her face?"

"Although I only saw one side, I'm about [-]% sure that it should be her." These people have been observing this Aunt Gui, "Don't tell the lady just yet, we will talk about it later, you and I should pay more attention before this." .”

Axiu was silent, but still agreed, "Brother Mo Ling, do you understand?"

Mama Hu shook her head.

"I see." Axiu didn't dare to be careless, "I will try my best to distract Axiang's attention."

Hu Ma is still very serious, "It would be best if she wasn't, but if she is, there will be flaws."

"Axiu, Miss is back." Mo Lin walked in at this moment and informed.

Axiu turned her head, "You're back, how's the situation?" she asked concerned.

Maureen shook his head.

Axiu stuck out her tongue, "Miss, what is your plan? Really take a month off?" Such things must not be hidden.

"Mr. Ariake." Mama Hu urged Axiu, "Don't be in a daze."

When Tao Yao changed clothes and came out of the room, Ah Cheng also came back.

Ah Cheng looked around and asked, "How?"

"It's okay." Tao Yao lied, "It's not as what Doctor Su said." Seeing the briefcase in his hand, "Is there something urgent?"

"Not really." Ah Cheng raised his hand, "It's just that it's better for elder brother to know as soon as possible; sister-in-law, I have a way to prove whether you are lying."

"I will pay attention to it, don't be surprised." Tao Yao walked to the garden with him, "I will tell him myself if I want to say it."

"Then tell him the truth. Chief Ming is the one who only allows state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps." He can bluff people, but if he is fooled by others, he had better think about the consequences.He knows this best.

"Are you threatening me? I'll tell your elder brother." She and Ah Cheng really got along more casually.

Ah Cheng squinted his eyes, "Don't lie to him!" He reminded her again, especially about the children.
