The Pretender's Taoyaoyi Building

Sunday morning.

"Aunt Gui." Taoyao was much better, seeing her serving red jujube porridge, "I heard Brother A Cheng said that you have very severe rheumatism."

"Well, yes, young mistress." Aunt Gui took a step back after putting away her things.

Tao Yao smiled, "Actually Hu's mother also suffers from rheumatism. Mo Lin told me about it, and I asked someone to find a good doctor in Shanghai who specializes in rheumatism. Let Mo Lin take the two of you to see it together today." Look."

Aunt Gui couldn't help but look at Mingcheng: raising mother and son at the same time, Mama Hu and Mo Lin have a really good relationship, and they looked a little frustrated, "No, no, I can bear it..."

"How can you bear being sick? If the rheumatism is not handled properly, you will be paralyzed." Tao Yao disagreed, "Brother Ah Cheng is so busy for Minglou, so this matter is naturally my concern."

"Yes, if you are sick, you need to be treated." Ming Jing turned his head, "You have already called her the eldest young mistress, so just listen to her." Give Aunt Gui a wink: Ah Cheng said it, so don't shirk it.

Aunt Gui nodded, "Okay, then I would like to thank the young mistress first."

"It's fine." Tao Yao didn't take it seriously: Didn't you say that you have severe rheumatism, then see a doctor, if it is true or not, you will see the truth immediately.Even if it's not fake, you can take medicine.

"Miss, Mr. Qingtian's phone number." A Xiu walked over, "It's Mr. Qingtian Horiichi."

Ding Jing was still a little disgusted, "It's so early in the morning, you don't even make people eat breakfast." This Japanese is annoying.

Taoyao couldn't show such emotions, she got up to answer the phone, but she came back after a while, "Axiu, give me a dress and jewelry, I need it at night."

"Why?" Minglou made some scrambled eggs with shredded ginger for her.

"The ball at the consulate in the evening." She was also helpless. "Several generals I have invited in the past will participate in this celebration. It will be easier to be introduced by Mr. Qingtian. For the business of the pharmacy and some things in the future, it is concluded that join."

Mingtai raised his eyes when he heard this, "Are you in good health?" She wants to go too?

"It should be okay." She was not sure, she was just afraid of drinking, but how could she not drink on such an occasion.

"Why don't I go with you?" Minglou also knew that drinking was necessary for entertainment. "Actually, I was invited." As the son-in-law of Takeda Hongichi, he was getting more and more attention from all parties.

"You promise to read to Mingrui for half a month." When socializing, I am most afraid of the husband and wife being together. "I can do it myself."

Ming Jing sighed, "I can't control you anymore."

Tao Yao lowered her head and drank the porridge.

"Or I'll go with my sister-in-law." Ah Cheng volunteered, "It's good to have someone to take care of me."

"With Molin here, don't worry." She still took Molin there.

Minglou thought for a while, "Do I have to go?"

"Well, we must go." She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, "I have a sense of proportion." This is also her mission in Shanghai.

……

The eldest sister took Mingrui out for a trip, Axiang and Axiu went to the Town God's Temple to buy things, Mo Lin took Hu Ma and Aunt Gui to see a doctor, and there were only four of them left at home.

Minglou covered her lap with a thin blanket, "Lying in the room, you have to come out."

"You all play here and leave me alone in the house?" No. "And the weather is much warmer. I like to be at home but I don't like to be bored in the house. Let me watch you play. I feel good."

Minglou sat down by himself and took a sip of coffee, "Ah Xiang makes coffee fragrant, but Axiu makes it slippery."

"You drink less coffee, drink some barley tea." Taoyao poured him a cup of freshly brewed barley tea. "Compendium of Materia Medica says that this tea can calm the stomach, quench thirst, and invigorate Qi." He took the cup from his hand A coffee cup, let him drink tea instead. "And the barley tea does not contain theophylline and caffeine. It does not stimulate the nerves and does not affect sleep. It is the best for you."

Minglou naturally obeyed, and instead drank slightly bitter and fragrant barley tea and watched Ah Cheng and Mingtai play.

After a few rounds, Mingcheng lost.

"I can't beat big brother, but it's more than enough to beat you." Mingtai said loudly.

The two came over.

"Brother Ah Cheng, the water is too strong." Tao Yao drank honey tea. "I remember your golf skills are very good."

"If you see it, don't tell it." Mingcheng put down his racket and took a soda, "Let our young master win two rounds, and you always bully him."

Mingtai's sense of victory was gone, "What do you mean by letting me win two rounds, please explain clearly."

"You, you can't beat me, I can't beat him, do you think he deliberately let you win the second game?" Ming Lou answered.

Mingtai came to a sudden "Oh, so you are the best player in our family, okay, I will let you go today."

Mingcheng sat down to rest for a while.

Mingtai took the racket and handed it to Minglou, "Master Ming, play with me."

"Then you should think clearly." Minglou didn't pick it up immediately, "I won't let you."

"You rely on technology, I rely on physical strength, I don't know who will die today." Mingtai raised his eyebrows, quite provocatively.

Mingcheng glanced at Taoyao, "If you weren't pregnant, what would you do to him?" The master with physical strength and skills is here.

"It doesn't matter if I have a baby, the baby's father will teach the rookie who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth." Taoyao is very confident in Minglou. She does not sleep to practice badminton with the national team members, and the opponent takes turns to play, and she carries it by herself, and she has to stand up even when she is lying down, until she really can't stand up at all.

"Okay, I'll teach him a lesson today." Minglou took the racket and got up, "Come on."

Mingtai is very confident, "Today we must let the eldest brother sleep alone!"

"Come on!" This was said to the two of them together.

Minglou starts.

Mingtai has good physical strength, but he can't stand up to Minglou's frontcourt and backcourt mobilization, plus the change of the backcourt's double corners.

Playing also requires resourcefulness.

Within two rounds, Mingtai was defeated by Minglou's devastating technical battle.

Mingcheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

Mingtai was annoyed, "Don't laugh."

Mingcheng covers his mouth.

"Although the technology is not very good, the vigor of repeated defeats and repeated defeats is still worthy of praise." Just like the Chinese men's football team in the future, Taoyao also poured a cup of barley tea for Mingcheng, "What about the hospital?" Say?" That traitor is still alive.

Just as Mingcheng was about to answer, he heard Mingtai yelling over there, "When will I be as good as you?"

Minglou had already withdrawn his troops, and walked back, "You spend all your playing time on exercising, so it will be fine, come and drink some water."

"Beautiful job." Mingcheng praised.

Minglou sat down, "I have to let him have a longer memory."

Taoyao passed the tea to Mingtai first, "This soft drink is not a good thing, drink less." She never drinks carbonated drinks.

Mingtai took it, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Taoyao moved her eyes slightly: this aunt's name is so sincere... Turning to look at her husband, he should have looked like this: probably we have talked.

"How's Secretary Li?" Minglou asked casually.

Ah Cheng suppressed his smile, "I arranged for him to go to the Army Hospital for an examination this morning, and I will visit him in the afternoon."

Minglou picked up the teacup, "Don't you want to buy some condolences?"

"It has already been delivered, in the name of our secretariat." Ah Cheng also picked up the tea with strong wheat fragrance. "As for the money, let the General Affairs Office reimburse you."

"Can this money be reimbursed? It's too careful." Tao Yao put down the teapot, "You really learned from someone."

Ah Cheng laughed: Let me spend money for the Japanese, no!

Had lunch.

Minglou was reading the newspaper in the living room, while Taoyao was looking at the financial statements of Donghua Yangxing Co., Ltd. for the previous year.

Mingcheng stomped downstairs, "Brother, I'm going out first."

"Drive carefully." Tao Yao raised her eyes and instructed.

Mingcheng nodded, ready to leave.

"Brother Ah Cheng—" Mingtai's voice came from the second floor, and then hurriedly ran down with a dress, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Mingcheng turned around.

The young master of Mingtai was helpless, "The clothes are not hung up properly, they are all wrinkled, what do you think should I do." He stood in front of Ah Cheng.

Ah Cheng saw it, "I'll iron it for you when Ah Xiang comes back."

"Axiang and Axiu went to buy things, and I don't know when they will come back." Mingtai muttered, "Who knows where the two girls will go to go shopping again, Brother Acheng, your ironing is much better than that of Axiang. .”

Ah Cheng frowned: What do you mean?Didn't you see that I was in a hurry to go out?

"Brother Ah Cheng, I have to wear it for my class reunion today." Mingtai bullied Ah Cheng.

Ah Cheng sighed, "You are so troublesome, I have to go out now."

Mingtai acted foolishly, and threw that dress at Ah Cheng, "I don't care, I'm going to wear it tonight."

Ah Cheng grabbed his clothes and looked helplessly at the unreasonable young master of the Ming family.

"Didn't you just go to see a Japanese who was beaten?" Mingtai dismissed, "What's the matter?"

"How did you talk." Ah Cheng reasoned, "I'm going to work."

However, Xiucai met Bing with a reason that is inexplicable and useful throughout the ages. Mingtai raised his head, "If you don't iron for me, I will tell my elder sister that you would rather deal with a Japanese than me. You can do it yourself." After speaking, he turned around and left Walk.

"Hey." Ah Cheng was stunned by what he said, and he left before he could react.

Minglou secretly smiled.

Tao Yao looked at the numbers, "This little uncle really knows how to deal with you." If you lose the game, you should take revenge here.

"He has our family's magic weapon in his hand, eldest sister." Ming Lou looked at the newspaper, "This trick can be used at any time." Turning his eyes slightly, "Still leaving?"

Ah Cheng took the clothes and looked helpless, "How can I leave? Who will do the work when I leave?"

"Leave it alone, someone will do it anyway." Taoyao secretly winks at Mingcheng and looks at Minglou: the hospital is very important, don't delay.

Ah Cheng received the prompt and understood, "Sister-in-law, please." He put down his clothes and left.

"No way, you let her do it?" Minglou can't wait for her to confess now, so he is not willing to let her do things.

Tao Yao made a gesture to take "I can't help it, who made me his sister-in-law.".

Minglou is so smart, look at the two of them, "You two are working together, dare to fight my idea?" It's the opposite.

Mingcheng slipped away.

"You defeated him, and he vented his anger on Brother Ah Cheng. In fact, it's still your problem." Tao Yao pointed to the clothes, "Go, take that little one off, I have a way to cure him." Ordering her husband, in a blink of an eye, "It's still You want to iron the jersey for your brother who is going to the consulate tonight?" Smirking badly.

Minglou took the clothes, turned to look at her, then at the upstairs, and sighed.

"Then you have to iron it better." Tao Yao laughed at the Huan, "I can't iron it well, the eldest sister will definitely find you!" The smile was not only because he was cheated by himself, but also because he had nothing to hide from himself.

……

Not long after, Ming Jing came back with Mingrui, "Well, what are you doing?"

Minglou, who was ironing his clothes, sighed, "What else can I do? Mingtai said that he was going to attend a class reunion tonight and asked Ah Cheng to iron this dress for him. As a result, Ah Cheng had something to go out, and everyone else had something to do. No, the good job was left to me."

Ding Jing laughed, "You have today too."

Mingtai was really speechless, smiled wryly, and continued ironing with his head down.

"Father, where's mother?" Mingrui didn't see Taoyao.

"Let's rest in the room." She insisted on going to the evening reception, so she would take a rest in the afternoon.

Mingjing asked Mingrui to go upstairs, "It's fine to go and see mom, but don't disturb her."

Mingrui nodded, and went upstairs lightly.

That look is so cute.Ming Jing couldn't help chuckling, "This child is still like Taoyao, a ghost." But then he lowered his voice, "What's the matter with that Japanese?"

"Ah?" Minglou didn't realize it all of a sudden, still rejoicing in his son's cuteness.

"The Japanese who was injured yesterday." Ding Jing reminded him.

"Oh." Minglou wasn't very concerned, "He's my secretary, working in the secretariat."

"Why do you have Japanese people around you?" Ming Jing was startled, "Didn't you know beforehand?"

"Do you know, didn't they all arrange it?" There was nothing surprising, Minglou ironed his clothes.

Ming Jing knew how harsh his environment was. Although there was no one else in the family, he lowered his voice, "Can you find a way to leave Shanghai? Take your wife and children with you, even if you go to Chongqing, I will admit it."

Minglou raised his head, "Why do you want me to go?"

Ming Spiegel was really worried about their safety, "It's too dangerous here."

Minglou put the iron away.

Der Spiegel looked around, "When you think about going out of this door, you might be blackmailed by people who misunderstand you, and Taoyao, who dares not let people know that she is pregnant, and has to deal directly with those Japanese who have no humanity at all. , if you are not careful, you may also... I can't sleep when I think about it; you should also think about it for Mingrui."

Ming Lou gave her sister a smile, "Don't worry, we will protect ourselves."

Ming Jing raised his eyes, wanting to say something else.

Minglou Qiangbai: "My elder sister should understand something. The road of saving the country through industry will not work. I have no choice but to choose the current road. Now that I have taken this road, even if there is a cliff ahead, I can only walk step by step. Going down, Taoyao and I both knew when we made our respective choices that the road ahead is unclear, and there is a cliff behind, this is a game with no return."

"But..." Ming Jing was really scared.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, I'm very vigilant with you reminding me every day." Minglou comforted her sister, "Taoyao is the same."

"You, every time I mention this matter to you, you always put me in such a perfunctory manner." Ming Jing said, "If it wasn't for the Sakura (number) last time..." When he turned his eyes, he saw Mingtai standing in front of him. On the corner of the stairs, showing some panic.

Seeing her sister like this, Ming Lou couldn't help turning her head.

"Mingtai, what are you doing standing there?" Mingjing also sounded flustered, and couldn't help but look at Minglou.

Minglou told her to be calm.

The messy eyes of Mingtai who were originally observing dissipated in an instant, and he returned to the young master of the Ming family who didn't know much about the world.

"Come on, the clothes have just been ironed, try it." Ming Lou gave him the clothes.

When Ming Tai got it, "it's worse than Ah Xiang's."

"Huh?" Ming Lou made a nasal sound.

"But you are much better at ironing than Brother Ah Cheng, thank you big brother." Mingtai knows how to touch it best.

Mingjing turned on the sister and mother mode again, exhorting, "There is chaos outside the concession, come back early from the class reunion."

"Understood, can I have some wine?" Mingtai turned on the good boy mode.

"It's okay to drink less." It's not realistic to stop drinking at all, after all, they are all adults.

Minglou gave him the trousers and the hanger together, "Be careful when you walk after drinking, and don't fall when you come back."

Mingtai silently looked at his eldest brother again, and then covered up his probing gaze, "You've become like a mother-in-law anyway."

Minglou was no different.

"I'm going up to get dressed." Turning around and going upstairs.

Ming Jing looked at his back, "It would be great if he could continue to be carefree like this."

Minglou nodded in agreement, and couldn't help raising his head: The only people in our family who can be carefree all the time are Mingrui and Taoyao's child. For the two of them, no matter how hard it is, he will endure it. Do your best to keep his.
