Chapter 17: Joy

After breakfast, Fang Xuan took Meng Lei's car to the Mei Mansion, which was different from last time, his identity was different, and his mood was different.

There are not many servants in the mansion, there are guards arranged by the army at the door, and there is only one housekeeper in the house, who is called Aunt Sun, who has a daughter who is responsible for the hygiene of the house. Aunt Sun was busy in the kitchen most of the time, she was the dowry of Mei Jinrong's mother, and later stayed in the Mei family, and there was a man in his twenties at home, who was responsible for the flowers and plants in the yard and some heavy work.

Aunt Sun didn't recognize Fang Xuan, Fang Xuan only said that she was looking for Mei Jinrong and had something to discuss with her. Aunt Sun saw that she spoke politely, guessing which young lady of the family it should be, and invited Fang Xuan into the living room to sit, saying that the ninth master had not returned yet, and now it was estimated that he was still in the army, Aunt Sun brought the fruit, poured a cup of hot milk, and then went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Fang Xuan waited for a while, but didn't wait for the people who came to wait, and waited for the people who didn't welcome her in the entire Mei Mansion.

The door was opened, Xia Rumei had afternoon tea with her friends today, she was in a good mood, with a smile on her face, she changed her shoes and looked up to see Fang Xuan who was looking at her, and her face changed.

"Why did Miss Fang come to the house, Aunt Sun, why don't you say that the guests are here, look at me, this is not rude." As he spoke, he walked to the sofa with no embarrassment on his face.

Aunt Sun had just come out of the kitchen, and hurriedly came out while wiping her hands, thinking that Xia Rumei was angry, and she knew what to do, but she just stood next to the sofa with a somewhat cramped expression.

"Miss Xia doesn't have to embarrass Aunt Sun, she just came to Mei Jiuye to discuss some things, it just so happens that Jiu Ye has a lot of nobles, so she will wait for a while, if Miss Xia is uncomfortable because of this, or if Aunt Sun is affected, then it is better to leave first." Fang Xuan's tone was polite and polite, not wanting to affect Aunt Sun's livelihood because of some unhappiness between himself and Xia Rumei.

I didn't expect Fang Xuan to put his posture so low, thinking about it, now there are only the two of them and Aunt Sun, no matter how much Aunt Sun has feelings with Mei Mansion, she will not be a servant in the final analysis, even if she Xia Rumei is adopted, she is also a veritable young lady.

Xia Rumei thought so, she felt a lot more confident in her heart, took a sip of tea, and thought in her heart that she had reported the resentment of being humiliated in the study before, and warned her by the way that she was just a country girl from that small place in Fengtian, so she didn't want to be in-law with the Mei family, so as to cut off her thoughts, it was best to take the initiative to refuse the family affair, that would be the best.

"Miss Fang, it seems that today I see that you are not a person without eyesight, and I don't care about you before, but I heard that my father wants my brother to marry you, and even Miss Fang herself should feel ridiculous when she hears it, my father should be a little happy to see the old man that day, Miss Fang doesn't have to take it to heart. I think Miss Fang herself can feel that you are not compatible with your brother. Miss Fang shouted one by one, but forgot that she was also Miss Xia.

Fang Xuan didn't reply, just looked up at the stairs behind Xia Rumei, Xia Rumei thought that Fang Xuan recognized the form, just waiting for her to leave in a gray way, but saw Fang Xuan suddenly get up, bow behind him, and then speak with a smile; "General Mei, hello, I'm sorry to come uninvited."

Xia Rumei's face turned white, and she didn't dare to turn back, and she didn't know how much of what she said was listened to by the old man.

"Simmer, sit, Aunt Sun, get some northern food, and use it here at noon." The old man came down the stairs and didn't look at Xia Rumei all the way, but just looked at Fang Xuan with a smile: "Sit, silly boy, what are you doing standing up." ”

"Father, I" Xia Rumei said, her voice trembling a little.

The old man didn't hear it, and continued to talk to Fang Xuan: "Xuanxuan, you came today, but what's the matter?" ”

Old General Mei has been tough all his life, and even Xia Rumei has never seen such a gentle inquiry.

Fang Xuan glanced at the old man, thinking of the purpose of coming today, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, after all, she was a girl who had not left the pavilion, although she was only twelve years old, she was also the first to know men and women, so she was inevitably shy, and this time, she left what she had just done behind. Xia Rumei saw that the old man ignored her, and then looked at Fang Xuan's behavior in front of the old man, and she was even more angry in her heart. casually said that he was a little tired, and went upstairs.

Old General Mei glanced at Xia Rumei, his expression was displeased, and he turned his head to see Fang Xuan taking a small bite of the sweet orange in his hand, his eyes were instantly full of tenderness. "Simmer, if you like to eat, I'll let Jinrong send some to your house." Fang Xuan choked for a moment, is this already seeing Mei Jinrong as her family's prospective son-in-law? When it comes to selling his son, General Mei should be the first to do so.

"No need, no need" Fang Xuan was so frightened that he quickly put down the orange in his hand and hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's okay, there are a lot of them at home, let him send them to you tomorrow."

"General Mei, I came here rashly today, in fact, I have something to discuss with Mr. Mei, and I am ashamed to disturb your rest." Fang Xuan lowered her head, feeling a little guilty in her heart, after all, it was not easy for the old man to rest, and Mrs. Meng slept less and shallowly, she knew it very well. But there are also embarrassments, after all, when I came to find a man, it was the other party's father who was sitting opposite, and there was such a delicate relationship.

"Hahaha, it turned out that I was looking for Jinrong, okay, okay." The old man smiled heartily, not at all like a sixty-year-old man.

"Old general, don't get me wrong, it's true that you have something to discuss with Mr. Mei." Fang Xuan was laughed at so embarrassed and anxious that he hurriedly explained.

"Okay, the old man understands, and also, call me uncle, the old general looks like I'm old." said that he understood, but his eyes still made Fang Xuan a little restless.

"Jin Rong went to the army early in the morning, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back for a while. Simmer. If there is an emergency, can I call him? ”

Fang Xuan didn't answer, and chirped for a while: "Uncle, I think it's best for me to meet and talk to Mr. Mei about this matter in person, if that's the case, then I'll bother you next time." Saying that, Fang Xuan wanted to get up.

"Hey, wait" waved his hand to let Fang Xuan sit down, and shouted to the door again: "Xiao Zhao, you come" Fang Xuan looked at the police officer who was standing at the door before and shouted, and then walked straight to the old man.

"Simmer, I'll ask Xiao Zhao to drive you there, it just so happens to be lunch, your aunt stewed soup, you help your uncle bring it with you." Fang Xuan had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, and then sat and waited for the soup.

It wasn't until I got into the low-key black Ford sedan that I came back to my senses, looking at the fish soup in my hand, obviously I went to the Mei Mansion to put forward the conditions, I was originally going to go violently, but when Xia Rumei told her, it seemed that she didn't get any favor, but now she has to run to the army to deliver food, how do you feel as if she has deviated from the track she expected.
