Chapter 1: The Farthest Man Nearest (46)

The man hurriedly apologized to her. Shu Ma is leprosy

As soon as he finished saying "I'm sorry", there was almost no interval, and he shouted: "Seventh young grandmother?!" ”

Seven young grandmothers...... Jing Yi covered the injured shoulder, and saw the person in front of him clearly-he was so shocked that his original eager and painful emotions were temporarily put aside, and he just stared at her with wide eyes, and said something incredulous......

Jingyi nodded and said, "Go up and see Qiu Wei, Huzi." She needs you. ”

*********

This morning, bottles of gardenias were placed in Cheng's mansion one after another.

It's the middle of winter, and gardenias are very rare. The use of gardenias for decoration on such a large scale should be considered a luxury.

Jingyi was originally going to order ordinary roses. However, the owner of the flower shop was worried about his batch of expensive gardenias, which could not be delivered, and was willing to ship them at a very low price, so she temporarily changed the roses to gardenias. In today's world, copper plates can save one is one.

So all day long, the people who were busy preparing for the dinner in and out of Liancheng Mansion were all stained with the fragrance of gardenias, and they were beaming. Since the American dean who lived here returned to China, the mansion has not been so lively for a long time.

The banquet was scheduled for seven o'clock in the evening, but the first guests arrived early.

At that time, Cheng Jingyi was still changing clothes. Hearing that the maid came to report to her that Mr. Mei Mengxian and Mrs. and Miss Mei had arrived, she hurriedly hung the pearl earrings on her earlobes, ordered me to serve tea, told Mr. Mei that I would come down immediately, and hurried to apply lipstick to her lips - she pursed her lower lip, the balm moistened her lips, and her snow-white face suddenly became vivid. She blinked, patted a little rouge on her cheek, rubbed it and pinched it again...... Shaking his head, the two pearl earrings shook up and knocked on his cheeks.

This makeup should be very passable.

She changed her evening shoes and walked out of the room, only to take two steps before realizing that she was not wearing glasses, and after thinking about it, she did not go back to get them. She came down from the upper floor, inspecting the furnishings in the mansion along the way, the fragrance of gardenias was thick and faint, refreshing, which made her mood inexplicably much better...... She glanced downstairs first.

The small living room in the mansion was directly below the stairs, and there were already four people sitting on the sofa at this time - the older man in the robe and horse coat was Mei Mengxian; The middle-aged lady sitting next to her wearing a cheongsam and fur should be his wife, that is, the mother of the woman in dress, Anita Mui; Except for Anita Mui, the remaining one is Mei Jikang, who has had a two-sided relationship.

This Mei Jikang, a dark gray tuxedo dress, is well-knotted in Windsor, and the person is also generous. He looked up as if he had inadvertently seen her standing on the stairs, so he stood up with a smile and gestured to his brother and sister-in-law by the way.

Cheng Jingyi also smiled and nodded, and moved down the stairs.

As soon as Mrs. Mei looked up at Jingyi, she whispered to her husband: "Chun'er says that Catherine is a great beauty all day long, and I only say that she is an ordinary beauty. I don't want it to be like this. ”

Her voice was extremely low, but Xiaomei heard it and said with a smile: "I'm right, right?" ”

"That's right. Girls of your generation, do you know what beauty is? The modern ladies who know a little bit about dressing are all beauties......" Mrs. Mei said, looking at Cheng Jingyi's brother-in-law Mei Jikang intently.

Mei Mengxian smiled and said nothing.

A few people counted Xiaomei who was young and the most lively, and she had already praised it.

Jing Yi came down and whispered sorry again and again.
