"Don't worry, we know the measure."

Meng Wei's words fell, and Sister-in-law Li and the three little maids on the side also nodded silently, and the little frightened look made the little mirror touch her nose when she left, reflecting on whether her expression was too serious just now.

When the little mirror was gone, Meng Wei beckoned the four of them: "Sister-in-law Li, you will hand me the basket later, Zhen'er, you will pick up the osmanthus I shook off the ground later, anyway, it will be cleaned in the end, don't feel dirty." ”

Although this Sichuan courtyard is large, it is meticulously cleaned every day, so even if there is dust, it will not be too much, not to mention that this osmanthus has not been trampled.

If there is dust, this osmanthus will be somewhat contaminated with dust on the branches, and it will have to be washed anyway, so it is not so careful.

Sister-in-law Li saw Meng Wei stepping on the ladder and was worried about Meng Wei: "Xiaowei, why don't I go up?" Just pick up the flowers down there. ”

"It's okay, let's come, we don't have much strength, if Sister-in-law Li you come up, we don't have much strength to hold the ladder, and it won't be good if the ladder falls down at that time, I'm small, Sister-in-law Li, you help me hold the ladder first, and then I will shake the osmanthus down and you will pick it up."

Although Sister-in-law Li is married, she is only a teenager, not much older than them, and the reason why Meng Wei really didn't let Sister-in-law Li come up was because she was afraid that Sister-in-law Li would not dare to start because this osmanthus tree belonged to the Sichuan Courtyard, but she needed a lot of osmanthus flowers to make those delicacies in her brain.

Despite this, Meng Wei was still measured, shaking all the branches that could be touched near him a few times, and then went down the ladder and moved the ladder to another tree trunk.

The branches of the second tree were also shaken for a while, and Meng Wei came to the last tree.

Because of the osmanthus flowers of the two trees just now, Meng Wei asked Zhen'er and the other two little maids to pick up petals around the two trees, thinking that she was not heavy, so she asked Sister-in-law Li to hold the ladder on the side.

Meng Wei went up the tree, like the previous two trees, one hand shook the branches that were within reach, and the other hand held the main trunk of the osmanthus tree.

Maybe it's because the ancient water and soil are good, most of the osmanthus trees seen by Meng Wei in modern times look a little 'delicate', at first glance, the age of the tree is not large, and the branches are not as thick as the trunk of the plane tree or other trees, but it is thin, like a jujube tree, and it can be broken with a little force.

But I don't want the three osmanthus flowers in the Sichuan Courtyard to look much thicker, and two of the branches are very thick, Meng Wei looked down at the surroundings of the two trees.

August is the time when the osmanthus is in full bloom, although the flowering period is short, but it is not yet the time to fall, Meng Wei stood on the ladder and did not dare to exert too much force, so the falling osmanthus looked many, but because the osmanthus shaped petals were many, in fact, there were not many to pick up.

Meng Wei thought about it, went up two more floors, and simply stepped on the two thick tree trunks, which provoked Sister-in-law Li, who was holding the ladder, to be frightened and exclaimed: "Xiaowei, come down quickly, this tree is dangerous, it will not be good if you fall down." ”

Looking at it was actually only a few meters, Sister-in-law Li felt a little scared even when she looked at it from the bottom up.

"It's okay, I'll be careful."

Meng Wei handed the flower basket in her hand to Sister-in-law Li, there were more osmanthus flowers in her basket than Zhen'er's, but it was a bit troublesome to stand on the trunk of the tree and carry the basket again.

When she was a child, she was quiet, and when other children went up to the tree to dig out bird eggs and go into the water to catch fish, she only dared to watch from a distance, envious in her heart but did not dare to approach. Later, when I grew up, I had to consider the identity occasion in everything I did, and I never relaxed myself.

Now here comes this ancient time where no one knows her nature, Meng Wei stands on this tree trunk, the left Yaoyao branch, the right swaying branch, the pale yellow petals on the top fall like snow, the old fragrance comes to the nose, much richer than what it smells in the study, but it does not make people feel dizzy and unpleasant.

The book in front of Ye Zichuan has not turned a page since he heard the sound in the yard just now, just now he saw Meng Wei looking up at the three osmanthus trees, and the ghost sent the small mirror to Meng Wei to send a ladder, and then he sat back in the chair, but he couldn't read the book anymore.

I felt irritable for a while, and I accidentally saw Meng Wei practicing calligraphy with an open window next to the small collapse, Ye Zichuan simply closed the book with a 'snap', got up and walked to the window, but saw a small person not far away standing on a branch and shaking the small branch.

The laughter of silver bells, some childish actions, accompanied by the falling petals, seemed to remind the air of a little richer, and the cheering of a few little girls under the tree made someone in the tree even more playful.

Ye Zichuan had never seen Meng Wei look so childish,

Although Meng Wei is young, and even thinks carefully about some things, he only sees her cunning side like a little fox, and occasionally he teases or Meng Wei, which just makes Meng Wei frown and get angry, but more importantly, it is Meng Wei's extremely measured behavior, so that many times, he almost forgets that Meng Wei's age is just a child.

The picture of children playing in front of him inexplicably made the irritability in Ye Zichuan's heart dissipate.

Pushing the door out, several people in the courtyard did not notice his figure, and Ye Zichuan did not approach, although Fang Yuan on the side wondered why Ye Zichuan kept staring at the osmanthus tree and opened his eyes, but he had always been able to stop talking without speaking, but he still regarded himself as a wooden man as he did just now, and he secretly couldn't stop guessing in his heart.

Could it be that Meng Wei is afraid that Meng Wei will pick too much, the petals on the osmanthus tree will be gone, and there will be no beauty in looking at the bare trunk when you appreciate it?

Fang Yuan shook his head, feeling that this possibility was almost impossible, this osmanthus tree had been planted for many years, and the little marquis had never cared about this kind of flowers and plants, even if it was one day when the three trees were replaced by other trees, he didn't know.

Meng Wei didn't know that there were two people standing at the door of the study not far away, she was shaking the branches happily, the tip of her nose was fragrant, even if she didn't look in the mirror, she could guess that there were a lot of osmanthus flowers on her head.

Although the tree was no more than three meters above the ground, and she disagreed with the high-rise buildings in her previous life, Meng Wei had to admit that it felt so good to stand here and overlook, and the sight was full of antique buildings and scenery, which made her a little reluctant to go down for a while.

After shaking the branches that could be touched near him, raising his sleeve and wiping the sweat on his forehead, Meng Wei suddenly felt that the other hand holding the trunk was a little numb and a little itchy, and looked at it subconsciously, and the next moment Meng Wei instantly forgot the situation at this moment, and her face turned white in an instant.

"Go away, go away!"
