Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Mysterious Master
Time flies by quickly, and at this time, it is the last month of summer.
And Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is still in that mountaintop garden, Mei'er can't go anywhere, her daily routine is to stay in this mountaintop garden with several courtyards and gardens every day, in addition to practicing, she is still practicing, of course, she must be often made difficult and reprimanded by her fierce senior sister!
But fortunately, the stubborn Mei'er easily resolved them with the real skills she had learned, and finally didn't let her senior sister's various difficulties affect or hurt her.
And now, taking advantage of her leisure in the afternoon, she helped the servants and maids who were good friends with her to toil in the courtyard, picking the ripe fruits, that is, the plums.
????
Green plum, dipterocarp family, is an arbor with a height of about 20 meters.
panicles apical or axillary, calyx lobes forceps-arranged, ovate-lanceolate or oblong, densely covered with stellate or scaly hairs on both sides; The petals are white, sometimes pale yellow or reddish, aromatic, oblong or thread-shaped spoon-shaped, the filaments are short, the anthers are oblong, the ovary is spherical, densely covered with short hairs, the fruit is spherical, the flowering period is from December to January, and the fruit ripens from April to May in summer.
At this time, it is already the end of May, so those plums that look a little similar to plums from a distance, but are not plums, and the trees are full of golden yellow are naturally time to be picked.
Although the ripe green plums are still very sour and sour, and are not suitable for direct consumption, the servants still need to pick them, because they can be processed into salted products, such as those saltwater plums, plum embryos, salted dried plums, etc., and can also be made into the kind of candied fruits that Mei'er herself likes, such as honey plums, crispy plums, Chinese plums, tangerine peel plums, spiced plums, and so on......
So, with all her divine powers, she helped the servants to shake each tree vigorously several times, so that the ripe fruits and leaves fell like rain, and then they just squatted down to pick them up.
????
As for those who are still stubbornly hanging on the tree and refusing to fall, she has no good way to do it, so she can only wait for them to figure out their own way, such as taking a bamboo pole to beat slowly.
"Give!"
"That's it!"
"Now I've shaken the last few trees for you, I don't have any good way to do the rest of the trees, I can't just uproot the trees, or you can fight slowly by yourself later!"
After putting a large handful of golden green plums she had picked up into the basket of one of the little maids, Mei'er clapped her hands contentedly, wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and was not ready to continue to help them pick them up.
'Hmmm! ’
'Thank you, Sister Mei'er, we know how to do this little thing! ’
"However, Sister Mei'er, you better go back and clean up, otherwise, you will be seen by the pavilion owner, and you will have to be punished again." ’
"Yes, Sister Mei'er, you better go back quickly! ’
I'll go and ask Ping'er to fetch you some hot spring water and send it to your room, it's such a hot day, if you go directly to the hot spring, people can't stand it." ’
It seems that Mei'er seems to have a pretty good relationship with the lower-class servants and maids in this annex, so much so that those little maids are persuading her one by one to let her go back quickly, so as not to be bumped into by her fierce senior sister?
"It's fine!"
"Don't worry! Senior Sister is now meeting Master, and she doesn't have time to take care of me! Besides, it's afternoon, it's my free time, I can do whatever I like, so I don't have to be afraid of her! ”
o(?? ^`)o
Mei'er waved her hand, signaling that the little maids who knew each other didn't need to be too nervous, there were some things she knew in her own heart, and she didn't need them to worry about it at all.
But......
Although she said that, she couldn't help frowning a little when she said that, and then she straightened up and began to look at the largest and most beautiful two-story house in the annex.
Over there, Mei'er saw that there were a lot of black-clothed guards and beautiful maids in fancy clothes around the big house, and her senior sister must be talking to her master in that house...... It's a pity that her master didn't summon her, and her senior sister didn't allow her to follow, so she had to wander around the garden alone, and ran to the big courtyard closest to the house, wanting to take a look from afar?
But she had some regrets that she had been here for a long time pretending to help, and there was still no movement in the big house, and her master did not open the door or summon her, so she couldn't think about going to see each other.
"It's really ......"
ε=(?? ο'*))) Alas
There was no way, Mei'er had to sigh faintly.
To this day, although she has worked hard to practice and perform, it is a pity that her senior sister still has no intention of taking her to meet her master...... Therefore, she felt that she was unlikely to see the face of the master today, so she was ready to give up, and planned to go back to her own small courtyard, and then enjoy the hot spring water that those maids brought back to her, and take a warm bath?
"I hate ......"
"Sure enough, Senior Sister is the fiercest and worst kind of villain in the world......"
(???? ˇεˇ????)
Glancing at the big house from a distance again, he found that Mei'er, who was still heavily guarded, and felt that even he could not be easily put in, so he had to mumble a few words in anger, and then stomped his foot hatefully, and turned around and walked quickly towards the small courtyard where he lived.
"The ...... on this hot day"
"Let's go back and practice the body technique for half an hour first, and then take a shower and take a nap!"
(?? ~?? )
Finally, when the little maids in the back were still chattering and squatting on the courtyard floor covered with plums, busy picking up the large piece of ripe plums that Mei'er had just shaken down, a certain initiator who was very aggrieved and dissatisfied in his heart had already waved his hands and walked away in anger.
It's just that what Mei'er doesn't know is......
As she walked briskly away towards the arch of the courtyard, on the second floor of the great house, by one of the half-hidden wooden screens, a beautiful woman in a fine dress, looking graceful and beautiful, was now staring at her back through the gap in the window, until she turned the small arch and disappeared beyond the courtyard wall, and was no longer visible.
