Chapter Seventy-Two: Searching for Ships
Congratulations on getting a monthly pass
"It's me, I don't want adults to remember the little girl, it's really an honor for the little girl." The girl got up, and Sakura blessed with a smile on her lips.
The red makeup swallow returned, the girl had apricot eyes and pink cheeks, her appearance was as beautiful as the apricot of scorching March, and the beauty was thick, even a piece of indigo-dyed coarse cloth clothes could not stop her slender figure, and her posture was like a weak willow supporting the wind.
She was so blessed that she didn't get up.
Qiu Yebai looked at her for a moment, and her expression was faint: "Miss Mei, this is really not the place you should be, I think you came out and went to the wrong place, and after a while, Ben Qianza will immediately escort you back to Mei's house." β
This girl who inexplicably appeared in her cabin room was actually Mei Xiangzi!
She never thought that this eldest lady would come here, but no matter whether she broke in by mistake or for some other reason, it was a big trouble!
Mei Xiangzi didn't wait for Autumn Leaf Bai to come to help, but when she saw that the other party was driving people away as soon as she opened her mouth, a trace of disappointment and slight annoyance flashed in her eyes, but then she calmed down, got up, and boldly looked at Autumn Leaf Bai and said, "My lord, you should understand why the little girl is here." β
Akiba Bai suddenly laughed, raised his eyebrows and said, "You should understand, why should this Qianza understand, and what should you understand?" β
If she remembers correctly, this Miss Mei Xiangzi and herself have only met once.
Mei Xiangzi bit her lip and stared straight at Qiu Yebai: "My lord, have you forgotten the handkerchief that the little girl handed you when you left the Mei family half a month ago?" β
Akiba looked at Mei Xiangzi expressionlessly, and said dryly: "I don't remember." β
Mei Xiangzi thought that Akiba Bai would hesitate or flicker his words, but she never thought that he would say 'I don't remember' and she froze instantly.
"Your Excellency...... You. Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and her apricot eyes looked at Autumn Leaf White with tears: "My lord, do you hate Xiangzi so much?" β
The daughter was in tears, and she was pitiful.
What's more, such a delicate and soft beautiful girl like Jiangnan flying flowers.
Akiba Shirahara is the most soft-hearted to the tears of his daughter's family, but it doesn't mean that he is a lustful person, seeing Mei Xiangzi like this, he smiled slightly: "Miss Xiangzi Fanghua is peerless, how can I hate you?" β
Mei Xiangzi's tearful eyes flashed with a glimmer of almost smugness, and she hung her head shyly and curled the corners of her lips: "My lord......." β
How did she know that Akiba Bai's next sentence immediately froze the shy smile on the corner of her lips.
"Xia Guan just thinks that he has no friendship with the eldest lady, but he is a stranger, where can he say that he hates or likes it?" Autumn leaves are indifferent and authentic.
Mei Xiangzi froze instantly, her eyes flashed with shame, she raised her head and looked at Qiu Yebai, her eyes were cold and stubborn, she bit her lip and said: "My lord, I must abandon the self-esteem of my daughter's family and say so clearly to you, although Xiangzi grew up in Jiangnan and is not as hearty as his daughter's family in the north, but some things still dare to say." β
She paused, looked at Autumn Leaf Bai and said word by word: "My lord, that day Xiangzi saw flowers flying all over the sky on the bridge, and the moment you looked up in the flowers in a canopy boat, you knew that Xiangzi met someone who could be entrusted with his life, and today Xiangzi came to find the adult, just hoping that the adult would take Xiangzi away!" β
When Autumn Leaves Bai heard this, he instantly felt that there was a thunder in the sky, and his eyes widened slightly in disbelief, staring at Mei Xiangzi, only wondering if he was tired and packing up for the past few days, and as a result, he had auditory hallucinations.
But it was obvious that the stubbornness and coldness of the girl's face in front of her proved that she really heard it correctly - Mei Xiangzi, the eldest lady of the Mei family, said that she fell in love with her at first sight, came to join her, and planned to elope away together!
Akiba Bai couldn't help but stroke his forehead and laughed lowly.
Mei Xiangzi is everyone's lady after all, and it was easy to finish those words, but now when she saw Qiu Yebai laughing, she suddenly couldn't hold back her face, she stomped her feet hatefully, and said coldly: "My lord, what are you laughing at, but you can't look at Xiangzi!" β
Akiba Bai smiled enough, looked at her and said lightly: "No, of course this Qianza is not looking down on Miss Xiangzi, Ben Qianza is just laughing at Miss Xiangzi's deception and doesn't seem to be up to the mark." β
Mei Xiangzi was stunned: "What? β
The corners of Autumn Leaves' white lips hooked up the arc of ridicule: "Miss Xiangzi, if you want to deceive people, it's best to learn to deceive yourself first, although Xia Guan is not talented, but he happens to have some attainments in Fengyue, Xia Guan didn't see the slightest admiration for Xia Guan in Miss Xiangzi's apricot eyes." β
This little girl is really spoiled, so she thinks everyone else is a fool.
Mei Xiangzi didn't expect Qiu Yebai to say such a thing, and suddenly a trace of panic flashed on her pink pretty face, but soon she calmed down, her face was cold, but her voice was still delicate and soft: "My lord, who knows better than Xiangzi who he likes, Xiangzi said that he admired you, he admired you." β
Qiu Yebai sneered lightly in his heart, heh, this girl is planning to be soft but not hard, do you want to put this 'like' on her?
What is this Miss Mei's idea, that is, she wants to take her away by herself?
No matter what Mei Xiangzi planned to do with herself, Akiba Bai was not interested in entangled with this eldest lady who represented trouble.
She looked at Mei Xiangzi and said coldly: "Okay, even if Miss Mei admires Ben Qianza, Ben Qianza also knows about it, but Ben Qianza has no interest in Miss Xiangzi at all, the so-called two loves, Ben Qianza wants to have a body in the capital Chapter 077, after all, abducting a woman from a good family is not a misdemeanor."
Qiu Ye Bai was thinking about how to negotiate this matter with Mei Su, but suddenly Mei Xiangzi pulled her sleeve from behind, and then her soft voice sounded behind her: "My lord, if you let my brother find out that I am here and let my brother take me away, then I will immediately shout that you are holding me hostage here and want to do something wrong!" β
The tone full of unceremonious threats made Akiba's white body froze, and cold anger flashed in his eyes in an instant.
She narrowed her bright eyes, turned her face to look at Mei Xiangzi: "Miss, you are ruthless." β
I don't even want the reputation of my daughter's family, and I have to threaten myself!
Mei Xiangzi looked at the cold color of Autumn Leaves' white eyes, her body trembled slightly, and then she showed a sad and stubborn smile: "Yes, if I can't be with the person I want to stay with and marry into a royal place, I might as well not have this reputation, and I will definitely not go into that unsightly place to be a concubine and be a pawn in someone else's hands!" β
Qiu Yebai looked at her face full of tears, but she couldn't hide the despair and panic in her eyes, frowned slightly, and after a while, she said coldly: "Okay, I can help you once, but if you want to achieve your wishes, you have to pay the price you should pay." β
When Mei Xiangzi heard this, her apricot eyes immediately flashed with a hint of joy, and she nodded busily: "Thank you, my lord!" β
β¦β¦
When Zhou Yu was about to knock on the cabin door, the cabin door suddenly opened with a 'squeak', and Autumn Leaves walked out, first glanced at Zhou Yu lightly, and then looked at Mei Su with a smile: "Who should this Qianza be, it turned out to be Master Mei." β
Mei Su looked at Autumn Leaf Bai, and also showed a smile as shallow as the wind and drizzle: "Lord Qiu, I haven't seen you for most of the month, and the popularity and demeanor of the adults are still convincing."
Zhou Yu didn't know why, he always felt that his adult had just glanced at him, and he was a little hairy, and when he saw the two talking, he had always been smooth and obediently shut up this time and stepped aside.
"The eldest young master is polite, you are still in your glory." Qiu Yebai nodded casually, and his eyes fell on the green-clothed people on the boat: "Young Master Mei came to see off Ben Qianza, He Lao is such a big battle, Ben Qianza remembers that he has never mentioned to outsiders that he is leaving Beijing and going to Jiangnan today." β
When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately understood, his own adult had never told Mei Su about it at all, but he stupidly led Mei Su over, seeing that Mei Su was not good at coming, and he didn't know if there was any conflict with the adult, maybe he was here to find fault today.
After all, Mei Su has a phoenix order on him, and the Queen Mother is not so happy with the secret rumors of Lord Qian, although outsiders don't know, but as a member of the Zhou family, he still heard some of it.
In addition, this time, the Governor also plans to throw them out to watch the wind as a greasy shield, who knows if there is a meaning of the Queen Mother Lafayette behind this.
Zhou Yu was annoyed that he was stupid, but he couldn't, so he had to look at the back of Qiu Yebai's head with a blank eye, and glared at Mei Su angrily.
It's all to blame for this profiteer's mistaken words!
Mei Su didn't seem to notice Zhou Yu's annoyance, but just smiled and looked at Qiu Yebai: "Although the adult hasn't said anything to Zaixia, but I can feel that the adult is going to leave in the next few days, I think this is our heart?" β
Qiu Yebai sneered in his heart, what kind of heart, I'm afraid that your eldest young master Meisu either had an inside line in the celebrant early on, or as an insider of some power groups, he naturally knew her trip to the south of Beijing today.
Qiu Ye Bai said not too politely: "What Master Mei said is, it's just that if you came here today just to bid farewell to Ben Qianza, Ben Qianza would thank the eldest young master for his fist, then now that you have seen it, please go back, we will set sail soon." β
Mei Su's gaze seemed to unintentionally sweep over the cabin behind her, and seeing that Qiu Ye Bai seemed to block his vision as if nothing, a helpless smile curled up at the corner of his lips: "Mei Su knows that the adult is leaving, but to tell the truth, if Mei Su said that he was here to see off the adult today, it is better to say that he is here to find someone, this fact is a family ugly, and please allow the adult Mei Su to enter the cabin for a while." β
When Mei Su spoke, she raised two slender ink eyebrows slightly, and the helplessness on her elegant jade face and the misty sorrow between her eyebrows made people feel that rejecting such an ink beauty was really a thing that could not be excessive.
Autumn leaves are considered to have served this brother and sister, although one is arrogant and willful and naΓ―ve, the other is old and spicy and the city is very deep, but it is really a mold in terms of making good use of his advantages.
She curled the corners of her lips with a smile: "Since that's the case, then please come in." β
β¦β¦
Mei Su entered the wing, looked around briefly, looked at Autumn Leaves and said with a smile: "I don't want the adult's residence to be so simple." β
Akiba Bai saw his calm and indifferent appearance, but he knew that as soon as he entered the house, his eyes were silent, but he quickly looked at all the places around him that could hide people.
This person is not simple.
She smiled and sat down casually on the window seat: "It's just a temporary residence, not to mention that the celebrant doesn't have too much idle silver, and there is nothing wrong with being simple." β
She paused, looked at Mei Su and asked suspiciously, "Yes, what is the matter that Young Master Mei is talking about?" β
Mei Su sighed: "Adults don't know, Mei Su only has a sister in the family, in the past, she was used to her, and she didn't want to fall into the water and be rescued by adults, she was stunned, and I don't know why, I talked nonsense all day long, thinking that I was caught in a coma after falling into the water." β
Qiu Yebai nodded, and also made a stunned and slightly worried look: "Oh, then the eldest lady is better now?" β
Mei Su shook her head and looked at her helplessly: "The girl who looked at her today didn't pay attention, so she let her run out, someone along the road saw her coming here, it is very likely that on the boat in this area, Mei Su is really worried, the sister is simple, if something happens, how can she live." β
He paused, and then smiled bitterly: "She is a girl's family, and Mei Su can't make a big deal of hype about looking for her sister, otherwise she will have a bad reputation, so she can only make this decision." β
Akiba Bai looked at him, as if he was a little surprised, and then nodded with a very understanding look: "Ben Qianza knows what Young Master Mei means, I think you suspect that she is hiding on Ben Qianza's ship, so just search it, this is still what the main Ben Qianza can do." β
Mei Su had already learned Akiba Bai's seemingly direct, but always contained a trap that could make people choke to death, but she said it so bluntly, it still made Mei Su feel a little uncomfortable, and habitually pondered whether there was a deep meaning in the other party's words.
But looking at Autumn Leaf Bai's frank and swaying appearance, he couldn't see any problems, so he showed a faint smile: "Thank you for your understanding." β
Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "No thanks, Ben Qianza is not considerate of you, but thinking that if Ben Qianza does not agree, you sacrifice the phoenix order, I still want you to search the boat, it is better to take the initiative, and it will save you and me from being ugly, making trouble to the point that I want to dismantle you into eight pieces, and you want to kick me into the water and drown, but I am still smiling and holding back my face." β
That's right, this is the reason, in fact, many polite-sounding words are so straightforward and harsh, but the love between people is always euphemistic, and it can be regarded as giving each other face, especially those who have read books, and they will never say such rude and harsh words when they are not evenly matched.
Don't say that Mei Su was choked by her provocative 'bluntness' in an instant, but Zhou Yu looked at Qiu Yebai a little sluggishly,
My own adults speak so simply and rudely, are you planning to use a knife to cut people in the next moment?
But Qiu Yebai's expression when he spoke was so sincere, so gentle, and so frank, that Mei Su felt extremely complicated in his heart, and he couldn't understand the young man in front of him more and more.
Rude, blunt?
Deceitful, deep?
Qiu Ye Bai didn't care what he thought of himself, but compared the cabin: "Okay, Young Master Mei will search it, in order to avoid suspicion, Ben Qianza and our celebrant all get off the ship first." β
Mei Su was about to politely say no, but Qiu Ye Bai had already walked out of the door without hesitation, Zhou Yu looked at him coldly, and immediately turned around and immediately chased after Qiu Ye Bai.
Messu sat in her cabin, inexplicably giving birth to a feeling called overwhelmed.
Looking at her distant back, a different color flashed between his light and soft eyebrows, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and only after a moment did he get up and lightly ordered the people around him: "Search well, don't let go of those places where you can hide people, including the mezzanine." β
"Yes!" The green-clothed man at the head immediately hugged his fists respectfully.
At this end, Akiba Bai had already led all the people of the celebrant supervisor, including the boatman, to get off the boat and stand by the boat and wait.
Zhou Yu's expression was a little resentful: "My lord, why do you want to be so arrogant with Na Meisu, why do you want to search the ship." β
"Ben Qianza didn't indulge him, what I said just now, you can't understand it, you don't have to go with me this trip to Huainan." Autumn leaves are indifferent and authentic.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately silenced, he naturally understood that although the words that Qiu Ye Bai said to Mei Su were mean and sharp, they were indeed the truth, although the Mei family was a businessman, but they had a phoenix order, and it was really not something that they could afford to provoke as a small master of ceremonies.
"My lord, Fang Cai's subordinates are reckless and don't do things carefully." Zhou Yu thought about it and said ashamedly.
After what happened just now, he had also figured out that he had been led into the trap by Mei Su's words.
Qiu Yebai nodded, but he didn't blame much, only said lightly: "You have less experience after all, Mei Su has been in the business and sea officialdom for many years, it's not something you can deal with, but every time you say a word to someone in the future, you have to think about it in your mind first." β
Zhou Yu became more and more ashamed, he always boasted that he was smart and smooth, and now it seems that he just hasn't met a master, or others look at his identity and let him.
"Fortunately, people are not on our ship, but they are not afraid of Mei Su and their search."
Hearing this, the corners of Akibabai's lips hooked up a faint smile: "Who said that people are not on our ship?" β
Zhou Yu stared at Qiu Yebai in shock in an instant, and his face changed: "My lord, you ......." β
The adults found out that the eldest lady of the Mei family was on their boat, but they didn't tell SΓΉ Meisu, could it be ......
Autumn leaves curled the corners of her lips sneeringly: "If someone finds that Miss Mei on our ship, I am afraid that you and I will not escape the fate of being demoted." β
Zhou Yu was shocked in his heart, but his face did not show it.
In a short time, Meisu had already searched everything.
"Searched for everything?" He sat in the cabin of Akiba White and asked lightly.
"Yes, the eldest young master, I have searched it, and there is indeed no whereabouts of the eldest lady, the eldest young master forgives the sins." The man in green respectfully knelt down on one knee in front of him and clenched his fists to plead.
He didn't know what was going on, but there were several spies who confirmed that the eldest lady was indeed quietly dressed as a boat lady and secretly got on the boat.
"Hmm." Mei Su pondered for a moment, then looked around, but there was no anxiety on his face, and he only said, "Let's go down and ask for guilt." β
"Yes." The guard said immediately.
Mei Su led the people down the gangway, and when he was halfway there, he stopped, stretched out his hand and gestured to Akiba Bai, and said apologetically, "My lord, please." β
