197 Harmonious communication
"A few of you, please go to the hall and sit down first, and I'll call our girl out!"
Zhao Xiangling pointed to the hall where the meal had been prepared, motioned for a few people to go in first, turned around and walked towards the room where Lin Mei was waiting.
"Girl, everyone has arrived."
Lin Meiyi took the flower bandage and opened the door, waved her hand to signal Zhao Xiangling not to run over again, and walked towards the hall.
Zhao Xiangling went to spread the message today, so she knew Shi Lei's identity, she guessed that the person Lin Meiyi knew in the yamen was Shi Lei and others, and she invited guests to dinner today, maybe it was to make a good relationship or something.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Meiyi arrived in the hall, these catchers who had just sat down immediately stood up, and flattered her with flattering words, as if she was the boss they were going to talk to, and Zhao Xiangling was dumbfounded.
However, not everyone is like this, Shi Zhutou is still relatively normal, politely greeted Miss Lin, and the two sat down face to face.
Zhao Xiangling took a deep breath and told herself in her heart not to be curious, not to talk too much, to be mentally prepared, and then to enter the house.
The meals have been served, the weather is cold, the dishes are covered with bowls to keep warm, she stepped forward to uncover the covered bowls, which was originally a normal behavior, but because of the sudden quiet, it seemed very wrong.
Zhao Xiangling looked up at Lin Meiyi blankly, still carrying a half-opened bowl in her hand, she didn't know what was going on, and she didn't dare to move at all.
"I—Did I do something wrong?" She asked weakly.
After asking, I first heard two uncomfortable man's heavy coughs, and then met Lin Meiyi's playful gaze, and looked down at the sound on the side in surprise.
Zhao Xiangling's hand holding the bowl shook, Shi Lei's eyes were quick, he held the fallen bowl, coughed and said: "Ahem, it's nothing, we'll do this by ourselves, you sit, you sit quickly!" ”
"Poof!"
Qiu Laosi couldn't hold back his laughter, and immediately ushered in Shi Lei's knife eye!
"Girl?" Zhao Xiangling panicked, looked at Lin Meiyi at a loss, and begged for help.
Lin Meiyi lowered her head and smiled, then she returned to her seriousness, beckoned Zhao Xiangling to sit down in the vacant seat beside her, and said comfortingly:
"It's none of your business, sit down, a group of big men are not without hands and feet, let them reveal it themselves."
Qiu Laosi replied angrily: "Yes, yes, our brother Lei will reveal it himself, and you don't need to do it with Miss Xiangling." ”
The words are in the vernacular, but Zhao Xiangling inexplicably feels that the tone is weird.
Just as he was about to say that it didn't matter, Shi Lei had already raised his chopsticks and threw them at Qiu Laosi's head, the speed was so fast that he slapped it on Qiu Laosi's face, and he almost cried out in pain.
"Shut your stinky mouth, you won't die if you don't say a word!" Shi Lei shouted.
Qiu Laosi grabbed the chopsticks on his face, nodded and returned the chopsticks with both hands, Shi Lei saw his attitude, and his expression eased.
However, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, my eyes didn't glance at Zhao Xiangling again.
Seeing this, Lin Meiyi couldn't help but bow her head and smile again.
With Shi Lei like this, can you believe that he has been staring at Zhao Xiangling just now?
The other Qiu Laosi were the same, but everyone didn't dare to go too far, they only lowered their heads and laughed sullenly, laughed for a while, and then changed to a serious appearance and raised their heads.
Zhao Xiangling looked confused, completely unaware of what was going on. Fortunately, under the delicious captivity, the awkward atmosphere was quickly broken.
Drinking wine and eating meat, chatting some gossip again, the atmosphere at the table was quite pleasant.
After eating and drinking, taking advantage of Zhao Xiangling's time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and go to the kitchen, Lin Meiyi, who had been playing haha with Shi Lei and others, suddenly changed into an indifferent face.
"Did you get any results from what you checked last time?" Lin Meiyi asked lightly.
Shi Lei, Qiu Laosi and the others saw that she finally got down to business, and the few people who were still a little drunk just now immediately became energetic.
One of them, named Thin Monkey, said: "Miss Lin, I found out, it is the owner of the Silk Village, Duan Shenghong." ”
"Duan Shenghong?" Lin Meiyi shook her head, "I've never heard of it." ”
When Shi Lei heard this, he waved his hand to signal the thin monkey to step back, and personally told Lin Meiyi the information about Duan Shenghong.
Duan Shenghong, the owner of Luxian Silk Village, is twenty-five years old, has married a wife, and his wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, the eldest son is eight years old, and the younger daughter is three years old.
In addition, there is also an outer room and a pair of twin boys, who have just turned two years old.
You can know these news by asking about dim sum, because Duan Shenghong is a famous playboy in Lu County.
However, if he only said this, Shi Lei knew that Lin Meiyi would definitely not be satisfied.
So, he waved away Qiu Laosi and the others, lowered his voice and added in Lin Meiyi's ear, "The old lady of the Duan family used to be the grandmother of the prince of Qi State, and the two sides have been in contact for so many years, and the county magistrate respects this old lady for three points." ”
"And the old lady is Duan Shenghong's biological son, who left home for the son in the early years, and has always felt guilty for her son, and after coming back, she is very indulgent and doting on Duan Shenghong, Miss Lin, if you want to take revenge, it's best to start lightly, so as not to get into big trouble."
After hearing this, Lin Meiyi knew that Shi Lei was kindly reminded, and she didn't blame him for speculating about himself, and bowed her head slightly, "I know." ”
Shi Lei got up, "Then I'll leave first, thank you for the girl's hospitality today!" ”
"You're welcome." Lin Meiyi got up to send it off.
When the two came to the door, Shi Lei glanced into the room twice one after another, and stopped talking.
Lin Meiyi followed his gaze and looked back, Zhao Xiangling was busy wiping the table in the house, and she didn't have time to come out to see off the guests. With a clear mind, he looked back at Shi Lei again, just caught the flash of intention in the other party's eyes, and reminded him half seriously and half jokingly:
"This friend of mine is young, beautiful and diligent, and recently followed the literacy and arithmetic, and is a capable person in the future, and now lives in my house, I can treat her as my own family, if there is a dare to beat her idea, I will not let it go!"
When Shi Lei heard this, his expression instantly turned cold, and he wanted to say something to refute that she was not a random person, but when she remembered her previous identity, her momentum suddenly weakened.
He stepped back, clenched his fists, and turned to leave.
The atmosphere was not right, Qiu Laosi and the others didn't dare to joke anymore, so they said goodbye to Lin Meiyi one after another, and hurriedly chased after Brother Lei, who was angry for some reason.
"Girl, are they gone?"
Zhao Xiangling finally came out, but Lin Meiyi was the only one left at the door.
Lin Meiyi nodded, turned around and entered the house, closed the door, and blocked the cold wind out of the courtyard.
"Go back, wash and sleep." Lin Meiyi said with a smile.
Zhao Xiangling always felt that something was weird, it was weird all night, but if she asked her to say why she couldn't say why, her mouth opened, and when she wanted to ask, the person who could answer the question had already returned to the house.
"Alas~" Zhao Xiangling sighed, too lazy to care about this mess, happily returned to the kitchen to wash her hot water face, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
