Chen Wenlin waited anxiously, and finally on the third day of their meeting, Liu Jingyuan gave Chen Wenlin a post, which was still in the water pavilion of Qinghe Building. This time Chen Wenlin was smart, and first ran to Liu Jingyuan's house and asked, "Brother Liu, what do you mean?" Why are you going to eat again? Have you done what I asked you to do? ”

Liu Jingyuan smiled and said, "I didn't delay for a moment." I'm going to eat later, just to do something for you. ”

Chen Wenlin was very happy and said: "Really? You asked Mei Ying to Qinghe Building? ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "What words? A scholarly girl who is about to be married, can she go to the restaurant to eat now? I'm inviting three important people today, and it's up to you to see if you can meet Miss Mei. ”

∷wan∷shu∷ba，a→nshub≮a.

Chen Wenlin was disappointed at first, and then heard Liu Jingyuan say that there was still a door, and immediately came to the spirit again: "Who?" ”

Liu Jingyuan said mysteriously: "Your three eldest brothers. ”

Chen Wenlin was suddenly surprised: "Uncle? ”

Liu Jingyuan didn't care about Chen Wenlin, who was surprised, as soon as he pulled Chen Wenlin out, he said as he walked: "Let's talk about it in the carriage." Let me tell you, these three people are all from the Mei family. It's Miss Meiying's cousins, all from Qingzhou, who came all the way away. Because this marriage of yours is a royal marriage, the Mei family attaches great importance to it, and I am afraid that Mei Ying's stepmother will be surprised that she did not deal with the matter, don't lose the people of the Mei family, and specially sent these three Mei Ying's cousins to handle the marriage for you with their families. In a moment, you'll have to get around them when you see them. If only you could subdue them. First, they should be able to arrange for you to go to their small courtyard and meet Miss Mei Ying. ”

When Chen Wenlin heard this, he was overjoyed and was about to speak, Liu Jingyuan continued: "There is a second one, this second is that of course the Mei family cannot be compared with your Chen family." But the Mei family is also a famous family in Qingzhou, and the in-laws are also famous families in Qingzhou, such a family. The characteristic is that there are many people. The family business is big, there are many relatives, and the reputation is big, but the life of each house may be different. What a great fit for you to take to Luzon. If you're going to take it all this time. You'll have a lot of arms in the future. Let me tell you, this Mei family is a family that is better than Wen Jun's Yue family. Wanjia is, after all, the home of merchants. The Mei family is an authentic scholarly family, and the ethnology is very famous in Qingzhou. You've found a treasure. ”

Chen Wenlin was overjoyed this time and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, you are my mother's godson-in-law, you must think of a way for me, how to subdue them for a while." I don't know anything about them, and since you can invite them, you must know something about their situation, and you must be confident. Tell me about it. I'll tell you, I've come back with a lot of good stuff, and you'll pick them up from me in a moment. ”

Liu Jingyuan laughed. Pulled Chen Wenlin and said like this.

Under Liu Jingyuan's planning, Chen Wenlin and the three brothers of the Mei family had a good meal. It is called seeing each other late, at first sight, the five people quickly got together, the Mei brothers originally had the intention of following their sister to Nanyang, and now they see their brother-in-law, and they like their brother-in-law's character even more, and their hearts go to Nanyang to develop, and they are more determined.

When everyone was full of wine and food, and everyone was slightly drunk, Chen Wenlin was a little embarrassed to mention vaguely that he had something on his mind, but it was hard to say. Mei Jizu hurriedly asked what was going on, but Chen Wenlin was embarrassed to say it. Liu Jingyuan hurriedly said it on his behalf, it turned out that Chen Wenlin had something that his little sister personally explained when she was leaving, and asked him to tell Miss Meiying in person, but the two were unmarried couples, where could they meet, so they were embarrassed.

The three brothers of the Mei family had already drunk too much, and they made up their minds to follow Chen Wenlin in the future, how could they offend Chen Wenlin? Besides, it's not a big deal, so I patted my chest and agreed, asking Chen Wenlin to go to the house where they live now the next day to be a guest.

Chen Wenlin was overjoyed, and the five of them were satisfied, and they went back happily.

When only Chen Wenlin and Liu Jingyuan were left, Liu Jingyuan said, "How is it? Brother, I didn't disappoint you, did I? ”

Chen Wenlin said as soon as he was arrested: "My brother is really calculating, and he deserves to be a military advisor." Wen Lin is convinced, and every qiē is in your plan. ”

Liu Jingyuan smiled and said, "You hurry home now and prepare." I have a list here, a list of the three families living in the Mei family's small mansion now, as well as their respective preferences. You go back and prepare the gifts yourself. Don't shiver when you go to the door tomorrow. Also, what to say when you see your younger siblings tomorrow, what to send, hurry up and get ready. Okay, I'm going back, it's too late to go back, and Mingzhu is going to be reluctant again. ”

Chen Wenlin thanked again and again. When Liu Jingyuan left, he felt that what Liu Jingyuan said was very right, and he was very thoughtful, so he hurriedly took the list, went back to the house, called the people around him to come and take a closer look, corresponded one by one, and prepared gifts. And I got the things for Mei Ying ready.

The next day, Chen Wenlin pushed away a qiē entertainment and waited anxiously at home. waited until almost noon before the Mei family sent a post and invited Chen Wenlin to dinner. This is because the three brothers drank too much and slept until the third pole of the sun before getting up, at this time, it was obviously too late to invite Mei Ying and Chen Wenlin over, so they could only be postponed to the evening.

Chen Wenlin was patient and went to Mei's house early in the afternoon. Presented gifts. The three brothers of the Mei family were very happy, because these gifts from Chen Wenlin were neither thin nor thick, but they all hit their itch just right. For example, Mei Jizu likes calligraphy, and the things sent by Chen Wenlin include the Japanese paper produced by the Japanese Kingdom, which is very good, and this is the best Japanese paper brought from Chen Wenjun in Xinguang City, which ordinary people can't buy. What was given to Zhuo's was the essence produced by his sister Qingchuncheng, which can be mixed with water to fill a bottle of perfume with a fragrant smell.

Mei Chengzu likes to read, so what he gave Mei Chengzu was a new version of a collection of poems, all of which were written by famous black masters in the past dynasties. Given to Fahrenheit was a small two-foot-tall picture screen produced in Qingchun City, with delicate embroidery on it, which was still embroidered on both sides. The base is made of delicate sorrel wood.

Mei Yaozu also likes calligraphy, so what was given to Mei Yaozu was the best inkstones on both sides. What was given to Feng was four horses of Jiangnan new-style brocade. In addition to these people, the children of the Mei family also received gifts, the boy is a delicate wrench, and the girl is two new Xiaying veils from Jiangnan.

The Mei family is very satisfied. It's not that they haven't seen good things, it's just that these things happen to be what they like, so they appreciate Chen Wenlin even more.

Chen Wenlin and the three brothers of the Mei family sat and drank tea for a while, chatting about Luzon for a while, Mei Jizu invited Chen Wenlin to visit the garden, this small house also has a garden, but the garden is relatively small, however, there is also a small hillside, a small pavilion on the hillside, and under the hillside is an irregularly shaped pond, which is full of lotus flowers, which looks quite elegant.

When Chen Wenlin came to the pavilion, he found that there was already a beautiful woman sitting there with a maid drinking tea, and when he saw Chen Wenlin's shyness, was it not Mei Ying?

Chen Wenlin's two years of lovesickness once saw people, and he was stunned for a moment, only to feel that his sweetheart looked good everywhere, the green little hands, the white face, the red cheeks, the big shy and timid, all of them were so beautiful, and all of them were so quiet.

In the middle of the ring, Mei Ying saw that Chen Wenlin was just looking at her fixedly, and couldn't help but be even more embarrassed, so she couldn't help but say shyly: "My brother said that Sister Ling has something important to say to me, I don't know what it is?" ”

Chen Wenlin reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "Where is there anything important, but I have an important word to ask you." ”

Mei Ying was also strange, she had no contact with Chen Wenhui, the county lord, why did Chen Wenhui have important words to ask her brother to bring her, at this moment, sure enough, this is an excuse, it is Chen Wenlin himself who wants to see her. Mei Ying's heart suddenly burst into sweetness and annoyance. The sweet thing is that it was not because she liked Chen Wenlin, nor because her talent was appreciated by Mrs. Chen, that Chen Wenlin was forced to marry her. It turned out that Chen Wenlin had her in his heart, and he did not hesitate to find this excuse in order to meet her before marriage. Annoyingly, there are still a few days to get married, Chen Wenlin can't wait, and risks being found to meet, which shows that Chen Wenlin is an impulsive and affectionate person, and in the future, he will have to persuade him more.

Mei Ying said: "Don't listen to your words, I'll go back." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back on his way.

Chen Wenlin was so easy to see the beauty, but before he could say this, the beauty was annoyed and was about to leave, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Mei Ying. Originally, there was a distance between the two of them, and Mei Ying was a decisive person, as soon as she said to leave, she had already turned around and walked two steps. But Chen Wenlin is not an ordinary family, he has practiced kung fu, and he easily grabbed Mei Ying's little hand.

Mei Ying couldn't help but exclaim, and said angrily, "Chen Gongzi, what are you doing?" ”

Chen Wenlin realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly said: "It's all my fault." I see that you are leaving, and I am in a hurry, I, I apologize to you. ”

After saying that, he was caught on the ground.

Mei Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Wenlin looked at Mei Ying and smiled, knowing it, the beauty was no longer angry, and hurriedly said: "I invited the girl to come because I had a sentence, I wanted to ask the girl in person." ”

After speaking, Chen Wenlin looked at the maid who followed Mei Ying. Mei Ying saw that he said so strictly, so she stopped and said, "She grew up with me in the painting, just say it, it doesn't matter." Or, in the painting, you go under the pavilion. ”

Entering the painting hurriedly agreed, and stood under the pavilion, but his eyes were still on the two of them. In fact, this small hillside is just a small mound, only two or three meters high, and it will come down in four or five steps, so the distance is very close.

Chen Wenlin was still a little dissatisfied, but he was afraid of annoying the beauty again, so he hurriedly asked: "Do you really want to marry me?" (To be continued......)
