The steward who sent Mingruo and the others out twitched his lips and cursed in his heart - Madam, although your husband looks very powerful, it is not good to provoke others like this.
The burly man's anger was rising to the top of his head, and he was about to explode when he suddenly felt the internal pressure emanating from Si Haochen's body. The burly man's face changed, he glared at Ming Ruo, snorted coldly, and left quickly.
.
"Hey... the world is so beautiful, but he is so irritable." Mingruo had no idea what the 'undercurrent' situation was like just now. She just wanted to make sure that if that person only wanted a sledgehammer, she could do it cheaper.
Sell it to him. She is not interested in the hammer, and it is too heavy for Si Haochen to hold... Isn't it better for everyone to get what they need?
Mingruo looked around, thinking about finding a restaurant or teahouse and getting a private room so she could throw the broken hammer into the space first.
"Madam, my young master invites you." A young man wearing a green robe came forward respectfully and saluted.
Mingruo was sure that she had never seen this young man: "Who is your young master?"
The young man took out a white jade plaque from his arms and held it in front of Mingruo with both hands. The jade plaque was engraved with exquisite cloud patterns and had dark green tassels hanging underneath. This... was exactly the same as the jade plaque the master gave her - it was cloud
Those in the middle temple should look for themselves.
Ming Ruo followed the young man into the teahouse next to him. Si Haochen didn't say anything the whole time, but just stayed by Ming Ruo's side silently.
The young man led Mingruo up to the third floor, walked into the innermost box, raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Sir."
"Come in." The voice coming from the private room was soothing and a bit cold, making Mingruo feel a little familiar.
The young man opened the door of the box, bowed and said: "Please."
Mingruo walked in and saw that the private room was covered with thick rush mats, and only a low table and a few futons were placed in the huge space. The whole private room looked empty and deserted.
The Imperial Master, who had been calling the shots just now, now changed into a moon-colored dress with wide sleeves and flowing clouds, and sat cross-legged behind a short table. When he saw Mingruo and Si Haochen coming in, he nodded slightly: "Sit down."
"Master Imperial Master..." Mingruo thought that the person the Imperial Master wanted to see should be Si Haochen, right? However, the young man just went directly to him... Could it be that he seemed easier to talk to?
"You should call me senior brother, little junior sister." Jun Che raised his hand and motioned for them to sit down and talk.
"Ah..." Mingruo then remembered belatedly that the young man was looking for her with the jade plaque from Yunzhong Temple. "You are..." Mingruo suddenly remembered what Master Jianyi had mentioned.
Big brother.
"My name is Jun Che, which means Zi." Jun Che continued, "Master, he should have told you about me."
"Yes." Mingruo nodded blankly. Hearing the word 'Ziyi', Mingruo felt a little uncomfortable - in the past, the seventh senior brother who accompanied him when he grew up was called 'Cheng Ziyi'.
Grandpa always calls him "Ziyi" and "Ziyi". One of them is the youngest child in the family, and the other is the youngest of the senior brothers. They are both the most favored. The seventh senior brother is gentle and has the most patience to play with him.
Mingruo is closer to his seventh senior brother than to his own brother.
Mingruo looked at Jun Che blankly. If the seventh senior brother was like the warm sunshine, then the person in front of him was like the cold moonlight. Although both could dispel the darkness, they gave people a completely different feeling.
Originally, Si Haochen was quite depressed because his princess kept staring at other men, but later he saw that instead of admiration in Ming Ruo's eyes, she was disappointed and lonely, he felt much better.
Si Haochen was no longer depressed, but Jun Che was depressed - he had no idea why he had recruited a junior sister who was not welcome to see him, and it was not easy to ask him directly.
Zelan came in with tea, placed the teapot and teacups on the low table, and poured tea for all three of them: "Sir, do you want to prepare lunch?"
"Yeah." Jun Che nodded.
"Senior brother, what's the matter with you...?" Mingruo and his senior brother were not familiar with each other, and Si Haochen was not qualified for a job with an active atmosphere. It felt awkward to be here like this.
"..." Jun Che has a big head, and his junior sister doesn't seem to like him very much. The problem is that he grew up next to his master and has never gotten along with his brothers and sisters at home.
In fact, Jun Che knew Mingruo when she was not his junior sister. He was the first to calculate the time and direction of the fate star falling into Ziweitan in the astrolabe. As expected, he was the chosen one.
It is a great opportunity to get the Yan Ling bracelet, which will accompany the Emperor Xing.
"It's nothing. I didn't get to know my junior sister in the Queen Mother's Palace before. I saw you in front of the Rain Temple just now, so I asked Zelan to invite you over to talk."
"Senior brother, you have really good eyesight." Mingruo really admired her. It was so dark under the high platform that it was hard for senior brother to see her.
"..." Jun Che took out a brocade box from his sleeve pocket, "I got a small gadget a few days ago. Let's give it to junior sister to play with."
"Uh..." Senior brother, are you treating yourself like a child? Mingruo opened the brocade box, and inside was a jade bone fan. Each fan bone was polished extremely thin, and the translucent jade pieces were carved with exquisite patterns.
Mingruo fanned himself: "Huh?"
Jun Che saw the junior sister's bright eyes widened in surprise, covered her lips and smiled softly.
Mingruo fanned Si Haochen: "Do you feel any difference?"
"This fan is made of cold jade, and the wind it blows out will be cooler than an ordinary folding fan." Cold jade fans are not rare, but there are not many that are so exquisite and beautiful.
"It turns out it wasn't my imagination." Mingruo liked the fan very much, "Thank you, senior brother."
"You're welcome." Jun Che breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the junior sister is not difficult to get along with.
Jun Che thought in his mind that as long as he collected more exquisite gadgets like this for his junior sister to play with in the future, she would be happy. It would also mean that he had completed most of the tasks assigned by his master - to take good care of his junior sister.
"Sir, lunch is ready." Zelan came in to report.
"It's lunch time, junior sister, let's have dinner with Prince Yun," Jun Che invited.
Mingruo didn't care, but her boyfriend didn't seem to be willing to eat with outsiders. Mingruo turned his head and asked Si Haochen for his opinion with his eyes.
Si Haochen was very satisfied with Mingruo's performance and nodded: "Okay."
"Pass the food around." Jun Che motioned to Zelan to bring the food in.
Ming Ruo looked at the low table in front of her that was almost full with a tea tray. It could fit a bowl of wonton noodles per person.
The door of the box opened again, and two waiters came in carrying a dining table. On the table were eight dishes and one soup, as well as cups, plates, and bowls. The dining table was arranged in front of the window, and Zelan moved three embroidery pieces and placed them on the table.
beside.
"Please." Jun Che stood up first and walked to the dining table.
Mingruo chose the seat closest to the window and sat down, Si Haochen chose the seat next to her, and Jun Che sat opposite Mingruo.
