Chapter 18: The Breath of Mystery
Mei Renhou felt that this flavor was very unique, like the smell of grass on the mountain, like the smell of lying on the grass when she was a child. The smell is so familiar, it seems like it was just yesterday.
Mei Renhou's heart skipped a beat when he smelled this. What's going on? He thought about it carefully, it should be the appearance of the autumn girl serving things, as if she was a foreign beauty in a Western painting.
Qiu Meizi was different from the ordinary beauties at that time, she was taller, her blouse hung on her body, and she seemed to be covered by the upper half, and it was empty at the waist, and it seemed to ripple when she walked, highlighting the wicker waist.
This scene was about to disappear, and Mei Renhou didn't want that.
"You wait!" Mei Renhou shouted.
Qiu Meizi had already walked outside, suddenly heard his words, and stopped, but did not look back.
"Come back!" Mei Renhou raised his voice.
Qiu Meizi looked down at her shoes at a loss, and the big feet inside squirmed involuntarily. She thought for a moment, then walked back with her head held high.
"Wait a minute, I still have something to ask you, why are you running so fast"
"If the master has something to say, just command"
"You're not used to doing this job, are you?"
"I'm not used to it, sir, but I'm very satisfied with the work."
"Is your family poor?"
"Yes"
"Who else is in the house?"
"Mother and brother"
"Is my father dead?"
"Yes, I got sick and died the year before last"
"So, where were you before you came to my house?"
Mei Renhou felt that Qiu Meizi hated him for asking these questions, but she didn't dare to refuse.
She stood with the bucket in her hand, and the bucket was so heavy that it pulled her body crooked to the side.
Now, Mei Renhou can once again take a closer look at her sharply defined body.
"When I talk to you, put down the bucket."
She obeyed, and the two big eyes on her face opened wide, revealing a look of fear, as if she was afraid to listen to Master Mei's words.
"You're succumbing, Sister Qiu." After a while, Master Mei said that your hands have healing effects, but you always wipe the table, mop the floor, and wash the vegetables.
Qiu Meizi didn't move, and she didn't say anything, she just waited, listening to Mei Renhou continue, "I will tell the housekeeper, and you will serve me in the future!" ”
"I'm afraid my wife won't agree," said Qiu Meizi.
"It's not something you should worry about!" Mei Renhou took out the tone of the head of the family and said, "If she doesn't agree, then I will pay to hire you."
Mei Renhou paused, "You change the bandage on my leg twice a day, and other things, you are much stronger than Mei Wu"
"Thank you, sir, but, no more....... I still can't do that."
"Why?"
"If you are like this, Mei Wu will resent me!"
"Haha, you misunderstood what I meant. Mei Wu has been with me since I was a child, I won't drive him away, and he won't leave if I tell him to go. He's been with me for decades and is used to me scolding him with foul language. Now it's your turn, I'll try not to scold you."
Qiu Meizi wrung her hands, still looking at Mei Renhou with a little fear.
"What do you have to worry about?" He asked, "Isn't it easier to serve me than to do all this menial work?" ”
"That's not the reason, sir!"
"Why the hell?"
"I want to know, can my monthly money go up a little?"
"How much do you take now?"
"Ten copper coins a month. I know you're a good job here, and I don't make that much elsewhere. You've got a good meal here, too! ”
"Okay, I'll double your salary" Mei Renhou is rare and generous in his life.
He saw that Qiu Meizi's dark eyes radiated a surprising brilliance, and suddenly flashed.
Then, Qiu Meizi's chin rose and said, "I don't want to accept other people's alms!" Lord"
"Even though you need it!" Mei Renhou said coldly.
Sister Qiu's cheeks flushed again, and Mei Renhou said again: "Except for the money you earn, there is no other income in the family?" ”
"No, sir!"
"So how has your family lived so far?"
"My mother washes clothes and sews and mends other people's clothes, and my brother works part-time outside"
"You can get this month's salary now, you can change into your usual clothes, have lunch with me, and then go home and get me your mother's plaster"
"Eating with you?"
"Didn't you hear me?"
"That's not appropriate, right?"
"What's inappropriate?"
"I'm a subordinate! Lord"
"So what? I told you to eat by my bedside, and you just did it, and stop being verbose! ”
"All right, sir!"
"Listen to me, call the butler at once, I want him to come to me at once!"
Qiu Meizi glanced at Mei Renhou, then picked up the bucket and walked out, without looking at him again, and then gently closed the door.
Mei Renhou leaned back on the pillow, there was an air of mystery on it, and he liked this mysterious feeling.
