Chapter 165 The original owner’s white moonlight!

Ye Mingsheng walked out of the private room and came to the lobby on the first floor. He found Ye Dong and Ye Kui. Just as he was about to pay the bill, he heard the maid respectfully say:
"The host has instructed that this table of food, Lord Ye, is free of charge."

"Please tell Master San to thank me for me!"

Seeing that An Zhirong was willing to treat him, Ye Mingsheng did not bother to be polite with this local rich man. After thanking him, he was about to leave. However, at this moment, a smart and pleasant voice appeared in Ye Mingsheng's ears:

"Second brother, where is the Mingyan Building where is the literary gathering today?"

The appearance of the voice seemed to trigger some memories of Ye Mingsheng, making him look involuntarily towards the place where the voice appeared. He saw two elegant gentlemen walking towards him. One of them was a man in blue with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was tall, full of masculinity and had a noble demeanor.

Although the man in blue was extraordinary, Ye Mingsheng only glanced at him and then moved on to the young man in white with a folding fan next to him. This man was dressed like a man, but he walked lightly and had a graceful figure. He had a rosy face and white teeth, and was extremely handsome. His beautiful eyes were moving and he looked bright and beautiful. Even women could only feel inferior when they saw him.

However, compared to his appearance, the most attractive thing about this young man in white is his holy temperament, which seems to be untainted by mud and pure but not coquettish...
Looking at the familiar face in his memory, Ye Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal without showing any emotion.

The two people who came over brushed past Ye Mingsheng and did not notice the change in Ye Mingsheng's expression. The tall man in blue said gently:
"Third brother, the literary gathering held by Brother Li today is at Feiyan Residence..."

Although the brothers walked by, Ye Mingsheng stood quietly there without saying a word, smelling the faint fragrance floating in the air.

"Master, that young man in white seems to be Murong..."

Ye Dong, who was following Ye Mingsheng, immediately realized something when he saw the young man in white. Being smart by nature, he subconsciously wanted to report to Ye Mingsheng.

But before he could finish his name, Ye Mingsheng turned his calm and cold eyes to him. Feeling the chill in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, Ye Dong swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and lowered his head, not daring to look Ye Mingsheng in the eye.

After stopping Ye Dong, the calm Ye Mingsheng took Ye Dong and Ye Kui back to his own courtyard.

Pei Zhixiu was very happy that Ye Mingsheng went out to a banquet without drinking for the rare occasion. However, Ye Mingsheng, who was worried at the moment, was not in the mood. After dealing with Pei Zhixiu for a few words, he locked himself in the study.

Leaning on the armchair, although Ye Mingsheng tried his best to control himself from having wild thoughts, he didn't know why he couldn't control his thoughts, and his mind was full of a beautiful figure in white clothes···········
Since he couldn't control himself, Ye Mingsheng simply gave up and walked to the bookshelf in the room, then took down a rosewood box on the top of the bookshelf. After wiping the dust off the rosewood box, Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment, and after a few seconds, he slowly opened the rosewood box as if he had made an important decision.

I saw a scroll lying quietly in a wooden box. I gently opened the scroll and found that it was a portrait!
In the painting, a woman in white stands in front of a peach tree. Her hands are as soft as catkins, her skin is as white as cream, her neck is as white as a cicada, her teeth are as white as gourds, and she has a delicate forehead and eyebrows. Against the backdrop of the pink peach blossoms, the saying "the face of a woman is as red as the peach blossoms" rings true.

Gently stroking the portrait of the woman in white with his fingers, Ye Mingsheng recalled the young man in white he had just met and sighed softly.

Since traveling across time, although he has been deliberately avoiding this issue and not thinking about her, he did not expect that what was supposed to come would finally come. But think about it, with her talent and fame, Mingyan Tower, where Luoan literati gather, is naturally a place she often goes to. It is not a strange thing to meet her there...

In this world, the original owner was 23 years old, when most people were already fathers, but still single. It was not just his hope to marry a rich and powerful woman, or to marry a beautiful concubine if he could not save enough money.

In Ye Mingsheng's opinion, the reason why the original owner was single was because he had a knot in his heart, and this knot was called - Murong Qingwu!
At that time, the original owner was not yet a seventh-rank commander of the Imperial Guards. He was still in the Zhaowu Camp, working as a small guard beside Shangguan Hongyuan. He met Murong Qingwu, a talented girl from the Murong family who was only sixteen years old and already famous in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Whether it was Murong Qingwu’s stunning beauty, holy and elegant temperament, or world-renowned talent, they all deeply shocked the original owner, who was also a young boy at the time. From then on, the four words "Murong Qingwu" became the original owner’s white moonlight, and also became a demon engraved firmly in the original owner’s heart...
Although he admired Murong Qingwu very much, the huge gap in their status forced the original owner to hide his love deep in his heart and not reveal it to outsiders.

The reason why the original owner tried so hard to climb up in the Xuanwu Army and curry favor with various officers, leaving a reputation as a scheming person in the army, was that on the one hand, he wanted to bring honor to his family, but more importantly, it was out of his love for Murong Qingwu and wanted to narrow the gap between them so as to make his dream come true as much as possible!

Although the original owner worked very hard and gave up some things for the sake of promotion, unfortunately, in the end he was still only a seventh-rank commander, and there was still a huge gap between him and the high-ranking Murong family.

The portrait in Ye Mingsheng's hand was painted by a famous painter from Luoan at a cost of one month's salary when the original owner had just been promoted to the seventh-rank commander of the Imperial Guards and was full of ambition.

Ever since he got this lifelike portrait, the original owner treated it as a treasure and carefully put it away. He would only take it out when he couldn't sleep at night to relieve his longing for it...

Although the original owner has passed away and Ye Mingsheng is now in charge of everything, for some reason, he always has a special feeling when he thinks of the name Murong Qingwu.

And when he saw Murong Qingwu, a young man in white dressed as a man, in Mingyan Tower just now, Ye Mingsheng could clearly feel his heartbeat quickening and his palms sweating slightly.

That feeling is like an innocent little boy who is so nervous that he can't speak when he sees his dream girl!
