"Sister..." Upon hearing that Ming Jing was going to give her a blind date, Ming Tai immediately lowered her face and said.
"Why, you don't want to?" Ming Jing pretended to be angry and glared at Mingtai, "You have to go if you don't want to! I already promised Dr. Su!"
"Then you can't..."
"What can't I do? You said you have reached the age to talk about marriage, and you are no worse than others..."
Mingtai had no choice but to move out of Minglou, "My eldest brother is not married yet, why do you want me to get married? I won't get married!"
After saying that, he picked up the soup bowl in front of him and ran out of the restaurant. Unexpectedly, he happened to bump into Minglou and Ah Cheng.
"Holding a bowl, where are you going?" Minglou only took one look at Mingtai and already roughly guessed what was going on.
"I...I went to invite you to have breakfast." After saying that, Mingtai could only give up the idea of escape and obediently returned to his seat.
After Minglou and Acheng said good morning to each other, they also sat down.
At this moment, Ming Jing couldn't help but asked Ming Lou: "What have you been busy with these past few nights? I can't even see a shadow. I still have something to talk to you about!"
Minglou took a sip of the soup first, and then continued, "I heard from Aunt Gui that Dr. Su came yesterday. Is the eldest sister feeling unwell?"
"I don't feel any discomfort." Ming Jing replied with a smile, "Dr. Su is here to propose marriage to Mingtai!"
"Propose marriage?" Minglou glanced at Mingtai in surprise, and saw that he had a straight face and was full of displeasure.
Ah Cheng looked at Li Qiang opposite, and when he saw the latter nodded slightly, he couldn't help but gloated and smirked.
"Dr. Su has a cousin, Miss Cheng, who is said to be one of the most virtuous girls in a hundred, smart and capable. She is said to be a perfect match for Mingtai!"
"Doctor Su's cousin?" Minglou thought for a moment and said, "I seem to have some impression. I went to his clinic and met him twice. Yes, she is quite beautiful. How old is she this year?"
"Two years older than Mingtai."
"Are you two years older than Mingtai?"
"I am a bit older, but being older has greater benefits." Ming Jing said very openly, "I know how to care for others."
Minglou nodded in agreement: "That's true."
"The word "marriage" cannot be wrong at all. If you make one wrong step, your life will be ruined."
Before he finished speaking, Mingtai pursed his lips and said in disbelief: "Then eldest brother and Sister Manchun were a good match back then, aren't you still..."
"Pa!" Before Mingtai could finish speaking, Mingjing threw the soup bowl in his hand to the ground and lectured word for word: "I said, you are not allowed to mention that woman's name in front of me.
Did you forget it?"
"Sister...I...I know I was wrong, you...don't be angry."
"Can I not be angry? I thought you were the most obedient child in the family, but what happened? Not only did you learn to talk back to your sister, but you also turned a deaf ear to the rules you set before, right?"
Seeing that Ming Jing was really angry, Mingtai panicked and quickly admitted his mistake: "Sister, don't be angry. I didn't mean to make you angry, it's just..."
However, at this moment, Minglou added fuel to the fire and asked: "Just what? You must have stayed in Firework Street for a long time and become obsessed with that place, right?"
Although Minglou didn't speak loudly, as soon as the words "Firework Street" came out, the entire restaurant suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
After a long while, Ming Jing couldn't help but ask: "Firework Street? Where is it?"
As soon as he asked the question, Ming Jing immediately understood. Then his face suddenly sank, and he suddenly became angry, "What did you say you... went to a place like that?"
Mingtai immediately took a few steps back, as if he was ready to escape at any moment.
"I...I just don't want to get married! Why can't I go to Fireworks Street? I am an adult man. Others can go there, why can't I go there? Besides, Fireworks Street is not a place that is immoral. There are many literati.
Scholars still compose poems there, and wealthy people still hold dance parties there."
"A Cheng." Minglou called out.
Ah Cheng stood up quickly.
Mingtai panicked and shouted quickly: "Sister, I was really just dragged over by my classmates to drink a few glasses of wine and dance a few times. I didn't do anything else... nothing! Really!"
"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense." Minglou didn't seem to want to hear Mingtai's explanation at all, "A-Cheng, lock him in the study first!"
"What are you doing? Why do you want to lock me up?"
Mingtai immediately became anxious and was about to run away, but his clothes were caught by Li Qiang beside him. It was precisely because of this moment of delay that Cheng took Mingtai with almost no effort.
Tai was restrained and he was imprisoned in the study without any explanation.
"Okay, okay, okay!" In desperation, Mingtai nodded and agreed, "Isn't it just a blind date? Isn't it enough if I go?"
"Did you agree?" After hearing this, Ming Jing's face, which was still calm at first, finally softened a little and asked forcefully.
"Yeah." Mingtai nodded, giving in.
"Okay, I'll tell you! Just be obedient and don't try to play any tricks on me!" The words were spoken softly, but the eyes were stern.
Mingtai muttered in his mouth, "Who is playing tricks? It's obviously my elder brother who is playing tricks on me!"
"What did you say?" Before he finished speaking, Minglou made a move to stand up and take him.
But this time, Mingtai did not give in, and threatened in anger: "Be careful, I will tear down your study!"
"Try it!" Minglou slapped the table and stood up, "Let's see if I don't break your legs!"
However, before Minglou could finish his words, Mingtai suddenly broke away from Ah Cheng's restraints, rushed out of the restaurant, and flew upstairs.
Even Acheng couldn't help but look at his right hand that had grabbed the air and said with emotion: "This little guy runs so fast!"
Li Qiang shouted to the people upstairs, "I'm telling you, hurry up and clean up the stage! We'll be leaving in half an hour!"
"Know it!"
…
At this moment, Ming Jing suddenly glanced at Ming Lou secretly.
The latter immediately understood and said to Cheng: "A Cheng, have you eaten? If you have eaten, go and prepare the car!"
"Okay." After saying that, Cheng stood up and left.
As soon as Acheng's front foot left, Li Qiang stood up and said very wisely: "Brother, eldest sister, you eat slowly, and I will go back to the room to clean up."
After saying that, he stood up and left, so only Ming Jing and Ming Lou were left in the huge restaurant.
"Sister, what's going on?"
However, before he finished speaking, Ming Jing expressionlessly pushed the newspaper on the table in front of Ming Lou.
It was okay for Minglou not to look at it. As soon as he saw the photo that was published on the front page of the newspaper, he frowned unconsciously...
