Chapter 289: Underestimating the Heroes of the World (Please subscribe!)
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Qiqige said without hesitation:
"The lady had already noticed you when you were still in Luoan"
Ye Mingsheng narrowed his eyes when he heard that, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised that An Miaoyi had noticed him so early. He originally thought that it was because he had recently become the general of Fengzhou and controlled the trade routes of Fengzhou that he caught An Miaoyi's attention.
When he was in Luoan, he was still a seventh-rank commander, and he had just been transferred from the Xuanwu Army to the Zhenwu Army. He was a commander without any troops, and he had no power. What was it about him that attracted An Miaoyi's attention?
Thinking about this question, Ye Mingsheng, who was puzzled, couldn't help but recall the last time he met Qiqige. He remembered that Qiqige's attitude towards An Zhirong was not very friendly...
Qiqige is An Miaoyi's person, so from this point we can infer that there may be discord between An Miaoyi and his all-powerful third uncle!
If we follow this logic, does it mean that the reason why An Miaoyi pays attention to me is because An Zhirong chose me?
Seeing Ye Mingsheng lost in thought and not saying anything, Qiqige urged Ye Mingsheng with some dissatisfaction.
"Such a great general! Don't deny it, tell me how you knew it!"
Qiqige's words woke Ye Mingsheng from his deep thoughts. Ye Mingsheng immediately shook his head and explained:
"Last time you took the An family's token, you were disrespectful to An Zhirong, and you called the person behind you 'Miss'. Although there are many daughters of the An family, Miss Miaoyi is the most famous, so I boldly guessed that the person behind you is An Miaoyi."
After getting the answer from Ye Mingsheng, Qiqige, who couldn't hide her thoughts, suddenly had a look of regret on her face. She never expected that it was because of her momentary negligence that the young lady was exposed...
Although he knew that An Miaoyi would not tell this girl in front of him her purpose, Ye Mingsheng still wanted to test it. He said immediately:
"Do you know why Miss Miaoyi wants to marry me?"
With An Miaoyi's previous advice to answer truthfully, Qiqige didn't think much about it and spoke subconsciously:
"I don't know why you are so determined to marry you, Miss."
“There are so many people pursuing the young lady, and you, Ye Mingsheng, are among them. You have no family background, no looks, no money, and even the number of soldiers you command is not the largest. But why did the young lady choose you and insist on marrying you?” Although Ye Mingsheng felt a little embarrassed after listening to Qiqige's words that said he was useless, he also believed what Qiqige said. These days, he was really wondering why An Miaoyi chose him, so he asked Huo San to find out more about this aspect...
Although it was very difficult to get information because Liaoyang was too far away from Luoan, Huo San was really capable. He took great pains to find some information about An Miaoyi for Ye Mingsheng from various channels.
The first point is that although An Miaoyi's reputation has been greatly affected by the rumor that "Bao Si is the reincarnation of a country that brings disaster to the people", some young men from aristocratic families with lofty ambitions and bright futures keep their distance from her, fearing that their future will be ruined because of An Miaoyi.
However, among the children of aristocratic families, there are not many who have lofty ambitions and bright futures, so An Miaoyi has never lacked suitors.
Among them are many royal relatives and sons of top aristocratic families. In front of these people, Ye Mingsheng, as a child of a poor family, has climbed up very quickly, but in terms of status and position, he is still not good enough for the time being...
The second piece of news that Huo San brought surprised Ye Mingsheng even more. That is, An Miaoyi was not at home in Luoan, but in Cui Mansion in Liaoyang!
Cui Shao's wife, Yang, and Kunshan Hou An Hetu's wife, who is also An Miaoyi's biological mother, are sisters. Therefore, Cui Shao and An Hetu are brothers-in-law. Cui Shao is An Miaoyi's uncle-in-law. When the Cui family's ancestor celebrated his birthday, An Miaoyi also represented the An family to celebrate the birthday and has not returned to Luoan yet.
After complaining about Ye Mingsheng, Qiqige finally remembered the purpose of her visit. She took out the letter she had kept close to her and handed it to Ye Mingsheng, saying:
"This is the handwritten letter from the young lady that she asked me to give you. Please take a look at it! Maybe it contains what you want to know!"
Ye Mingsheng's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he took the letter from Qiqige. It seemed that Qiqige had kept the letter close to her body for a long time, and it seemed that she was still carrying it when he took it out. Qiqige's question made Ye Mingsheng subconsciously look at the towering breasts on Qiqige's chest.
It has to be said that compared to the petite Zhou people, Qiqige, who has grassland ancestry, is indeed a behemoth. Although it can be seen that she is wearing a chest binder, she still sways when she walks, which makes people dazzled, distracted, and fascinated...
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Qiqige was extremely ashamed and angry. Although she was covered with clothes, she still put her hands in front of her chest and glared at Ye Mingsheng fiercely. If it weren't for the lesson from last time, she would have taught Ye Mingsheng a lesson and let Ye Mingsheng know why the flowers are so red!
“Cough… cough…”
Ye Mingsheng pretended to cough twice to hide his embarrassment, but he was secretly looking forward to An Miaoyi's happy life after marrying him...
After opening the envelope, Ye Mingsheng saw the elegant small characters on the letter paper. Although Ye Mingsheng had no knowledge of calligraphy, it did not affect his study. Ye Mingsheng could tell that the owner of the handwriting had excellent regular script.
At first glance, the handwriting seems elegant and light, very delicate and beautiful, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a unique strength in the handwriting, a combination of hardness and softness!
As the old saying goes, a person's handwriting reflects his character. Sometimes one can get a glimpse of a person's character from his handwriting. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but look up to his wife, whom he had yet to meet.
After simply appreciating An Miaoyi's handwriting, Ye Mingsheng began to browse the contents of the letter. He didn't know what An Miaoyi wrote on the letter, but Ye Mingsheng's expression gradually became serious. After a long time, he put down the letter and said with some emotion:
"I didn't expect that I, Ye, really underestimated the heroes of the world. He actually played such a trick on me..."
