Chapter 7: Sisters

Shen Yueran stopped.

Isn't it clear if she's passing by?

Mei Cailian, who has always been closed and ashamed to see people, does not go out early or late, but chooses a warm afternoon and walks alone on the lively street, saying that it is a coincidence, which is too far-fetched.

What's more, after the crowd fled in all directions, she also quickly returned to Mei's house, and it was even more groundless to say that she was passing by.

Shen Yueran knew in her heart that Mei Cailian was helping her.

But since she doesn't need to be thanked, why should she say more?

Shen Yueran smiled, "oh", and raised her foot again.

Unexpectedly, Mei Cailian spoke again.

"Actually, they play with you because they like you."

Shen Yueran was stunned, and then laughed.

"You say they're playing with me? Still like me? Every time you see me, it's either ridicule or ridicule, old girl, lazy girl, broom star, drag oil bottle...... What's so hard to hear what they say, are they playing with me? tease me every day in a different way, see me ugly, do you like me? It's not like you haven't seen that scene today, who would treat a favorite person like that? Shen Yueran was angry.

There was no more sound in the inner room, and there was silence.

And to be expected.

People who don't speak very often rarely open their mouths, but they are robbed of everything, and it is strange that they are not so angry that they can't speak.

Shen Yueran raised her eyebrows disapprerovingly and raised her feet for the third time.

"Then why are you always fooled?"

The hoarse voice was not angry or annoyed, and once again it came unexpectedly.

"I—"

At this moment, Shen Yueran was speechless.

Because that's a child?

She was struck in the heart.

"I'm stupid!"

She dropped the sentence angrily.

"I think it's funny." Mei Cailian's voice actually smiled this time.

She's laughing?

Shen Yueran couldn't cry or laugh.

She's being teased, and she finds it funny? Sure enough, it's a weirdo.

She raised the corners of her mouth, and just as she wanted to say something, Mei Caiyu came running.

"Why are you standing here? Does it scare you? Don't be afraid, just ignore her. Mei Caiyu hurriedly pulled her away and said in a loud voice.

The figure behind the window froze and lowered his head.

The two returned to the basin, Mei Caiyu poured some rice vinegar into the basin, added some hot water, and Shen Yueran put her hands into the water, and the right temperature made her feel comfortable.

Taking advantage of her time to wash her hands, Mei Caiyu took out an oil-paper bag, stretched out the cloth bag she brought, and put the shortbread that was still hot in the oil-paper bag into the cloth bag one by one.

"Brother Shen worked hard and ate a lot, and these meat cakes were given to him, and he was full. Sister-in-law Shen is sweet and guarantees that she can be comfortable for a few days after eating these bean paste cakes and will not trouble you. Daddy Shen's mouth is not good, and the sesame shortbread melts in the mouth, which is sweet and delicious. And you, the most picky Miss Shen family, the signature of the Mei family's cake shop, lotus paste shortbread. Tell you quietly, these lotus paste shortbreads are not left, they just came out of the oven this morning, so I took advantage of my father's inattention and secretly brought a few. ā€

Mei Caiyu said while babbling, and after a while, the cloth bag with a large capacity was filled.

Shen Yueran smiled, "Who wants to marry you, it is really a blessing from the cultivation in the previous life, you can see from a few spare cakes that you are clever, delicate, and thoughtful." ā€

Speaking of her friendship with Mei Caiyu, we have to start with Yu Cake.

Anyone who has ever run a cooked food business will encounter residual problems.

The shortbread that stays overnight is the leftover.

Mei Changsheng claimed from the first day of selling cakes that the Mei family cake shop did not sell surplus cakes, and they were sold on the same day. If it can't be sold on the same day, it will be sold at a 3% discount the next day.

It's not that the leftover bread can't be eaten, but it's not fresh enough, which is detrimental to the flavor.

But for the price of three folds, it is a great benefit.

Such a cheapness, it is impossible for Wu Zhaorong not to take advantage of it.

The Mei and Shen families are not far apart, and the west end of the Shen family is next to the north end of the Mei family. Wu Zhaorong relied on his neighbors, could speak well, and coaxed Mei Changsheng to leave some surplus cakes for her every day.

But she was too ashamed to take it, so she sent Shen Yueran to get it.

After coming and going, Shen Yueran and Mei Caiyu became acquainted.

The two were of similar age and like-minded, and soon became good sisters with similar hearts.

At this time, Mei Caiyu listened to Shen Yueran's laughter, but instead of being proud, her face fell.

She squinted at the east and muttered in a low voice, "If I was blessed in my previous life, why didn't you let me be reincarnated as an eldest sister?" ā€

Shen Yueran muttered.

The folk customs of the Xia Dynasty were simple and orderly. If the eldest daughter doesn't marry, where will it be the turn to get the second daughter?

Therefore, even if Mei Caiyu is so beautiful, there are countless men in her picture, and Mei Cailian can't get married, so she has to stay in the boudoir and marry without saying anything.

Thinking of this, Shen Yueran couldn't help but sigh.

Life's chances are unpredictable. She can marry or not, but the Mei sisters can't marry if they want to. The difference is that no one dares to marry Mei Cailian, but Mei Caiyu cannot be crossed. Three women, different circumstances, different thoughts, but they encountered the same kind of embarrassment - age.

Women are like flowers, and the flowering period is limited.

Seeing that Mei Caiyu's feelings were low, Shen Yueran touched her arm and also looked to the east.

"I heard from my sister-in-law a while ago that Daddy Mei asked a relative in the capital to help her find someone, but there was a response?" She asked softly.

Wu Zhaorong is a bag of inquiries, especially sensitive to the affairs of the capital, who comes to the capital, who is going to rush to the capital, and what happened to the capital, all of them are clear.

Mei Caiyu rolled her eyes, "What relatives in the capital?" There are still 100 miles away from the capital. They agreed, but what's the use? At the beginning, the widowers in the northwest looked down on her, let alone the people in the capital? If you look for it, it's just a waste of money. ā€

"Not necessarily. The capital is prosperous, and there are many people coming and going from the south to the north, so maybe you can meet someone who cares. ā€

Speaking of this, Shen Yueran grinned.

"If she gets married, it will be your turn, and I can't wait to marry Mei Caiyu."

Mei Caiyu blushed and took a sip, "Phew, who wants to get married, look at me and don't tear your mouth apart." ā€

As she spoke, she twisted her hands on Shen Yueran's cheeks, Shen Yueran smiled and dodged, and the two made a mess.

"Huh-"

Mei Caiyu stopped suddenly, grabbed Shen Yueran's hands and sniffed them.

"If it really doesn't taste anymore, rice vinegar really works."

"Of course."

Shen Yueran stretched out her hands and spread her five fingers.

Ten white fingers that are soft and green are beautiful in the sun.

Mei Caiyu couldn't help but look up and down at Shen Yueran under the sun.

It is clear that the hair is like green silk, but it is wrapped in a square cloth behind the head. Obviously the skin is like snow, but he doesn't wear makeup. Obviously lightweight, but always wearing old-fashioned short pants.

Shen Yueran noticed Mei Caiyu's gaze and said with a smile, "What are you looking at?" ā€

Mei Caiyu leaned closer and lowered her voice, "Everyone else said that you fell into evil five years ago, but is there such a thing?" ā€

The Mei family only came to Wenchi three years ago, and they don't know much about the past. Shen Yueran's oath has passed for a long time, and it has become an evil spirit when it reaches Mei Caiyu's ears with false rumors.

Mei Caiyu was skeptical.

But if it's not evil, why doesn't a pretty girl want to get married?

"Yes." Shen Yueran stuck out her little tongue, her eyes widened, and she took advantage of Mei Caiyu's unpreparedness to pull out a worn-out book from her sleeve.

"Phoenix Seeking Phoenix!" Shen Yueran waved the book in the air and said with a smile, "After the evil spirit, people become transparent, and they can't hide anything." So, Mei Caiyu, you still recruit it, which son do you like? ā€

"Dead girl! Give it back! Mei Caiyu stomped her feet again and again.

"Don't give it!"

"Give it back!"
