Chapter 13: The Effort
Mei Xiaoren entered the Mei Building with the front foot, and Chu Zifeng followed in with the back foot, and the people in the Mei Building knew the young master of the Chu family, even if the young lady let them stop, they didn't dare to really stop it.
Chu Zifeng is so relentless, whether he wants her or her family property, Mei Xiaoren knows in his heart. She even used the trick of disfigurement, if she didn't come to a more ruthless one, how to get rid of difficult people.
"You don't care how I look?" Mei Xiaoren stopped and asked with a smile.
"Of course."
"But I hate you."
Chu Zifeng touched his face and wondered: "Can there be someone more handsome than me in the entire Yun County?" ”
Chu Zifeng's skin is not bad, if she wants to rub his sharpness, she needs to bring out a man with unparalleled elegance.
Speaking of the peerless elegance, Mei Xiaoren's mind only inadvertently remembered a figure. She described according to the impression she remained: "My father-in-law, when he has the appearance of a jade bone and a clear posture, there is no worldly air in every move." ”
Chu Zifeng was not angry, and sneered: "This is an immortal, where is there such a person in the world." ”
Mei Xiaoren stood in the lobby of the restaurant and looked around, but couldn't find a statue. Yes, in the past, she didn't believe that there would be beautiful men like him in the two counties.
Just as Mei Xiaoren was about to give up the comparison, a figure sitting straight attracted her attention.
He drank tea there alone, his slender fingers seemed to hold the teacup lightly, but he held it very steadily, even if a passerby inadvertently bumped his arm, the teacup was safe in his hand, and he didn't spill half a drop of tea.
A small gesture can show the calmness of the person's heart.
He is not arrogant, but he treats everything calmly, like a person who controls the overall situation, at least an official who dominates one side.
Mei Xiaoren guessed that Chu Yu had a great background based on Chu Yu's words and deeds, but he didn't admit it himself, and Mei Xiaoren didn't receive the gossip that a big official was coming, so he didn't know who he was.
As soon as she recalled the picture when she first met, she met, and it was really fate.
Mei Xiaoren is inconvenient to greet Chu Yu now, but he wants to use Chu Yu to relieve the siege, so he pointed upstairs, "Like him." ”
She thought that Chu Zifeng would find the gap and retreat, but who knew that her finger would make this prodigal suddenly annoyed and angry.
Seeing Chu Zifeng rushing upstairs angrily, Mei Xiaoren's heart tightened. She really didn't want to make trouble for Chu Yu, and it was very likely that this was someone she couldn't afford to offend, how could she trouble him.
Mei Xiaoren hurriedly chased upstairs, but in the end he was still a step too late.
Chu Zifeng was already standing in front of Chu Yu.
However, Chu Yu didn't seem to have the heart to pay attention to the people who suddenly rushed in, and he was still drinking tea peacefully.
"It turned out to be you."
Chu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the person who came, "Something?" ”
Mei Xiaoren caught up and said, "Chu Zifeng, what are you making trouble, hurry up and let me go!" ”
Chu Yu's gaze fell on her and looked at her slightly.
Mei Xiaoren was a little apprehensive by Chu Yu's view. Fortunately, there was strangeness written in his eyes, and he didn't recognize who she was.
"Xiao Mei'er, why did you fall in love with him?"
Mei Xiaoren's expression suddenly added embarrassment, and he was glad that he still had a veil. Although she didn't dare to face Chu Yu's gaze out of curiosity, Chu Yu couldn't see her strangeness.
"Fancy it?"
Mei Xiaoren hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that......"
"Xiao Mei'er, you don't know yet, he is my third uncle's son." Chu Zifeng revealed the bottom in one go, "My third uncle left early, he and his mother intended to swallow the Chu family's property, but my father saw through it and drove him out of Yunxian County according to the clan rules. ”
Mei Xiaoren was really surprised when he heard this, looked at Chu Zifeng, and then at Chu Yu, curious about them...... Is it a relative?
"To put it bluntly, he is a lost dog, and he can't give you a life of fine clothes and food."
Chu Yu's expression was still so calm, but Mei Xiaoren was already angry when he heard it, and scolded: "What nonsense! ”
She doesn't care what Chu Yu was born in, at least the family looks better than the Chu family now, if it weren't for Chu Zifeng's sworn identification, she really couldn't connect Chu Yu with the Chu family.
"Little Meier......"
Chu Zifeng still didn't give up, Mei Xiaoren decided to let go, and said bluntly: "If I like him, I like him as a person, and it has nothing to do with his family property and birth." He added, "By the way, my father wants me to marry you to repay the Chu family, since he is also a member of the Chu family, isn't that right?" ”
"Little Mei'er, you ...... You can't take a fancy to him! ”
"Who do I have my eye on, and what does it matter to you?" Mei Xiaoren'e raised her eyebrows.
Now that the play has been performed to this point, she simply re-entered the wood, so she unceremoniously sat opposite Gu Chuyu, filled the teacup he had just drunk empty, and held the teacup in both hands in front of Chu Yu, "Young Master Chu, please." ”
Chu Yu looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.
Mei Xiaoren waited anxiously with the teacup in his hand, squeezed his eyebrows at Chu Yu, and squeaked slightly: "Do me a little favor." ”
The voice was small, but he could hear it.
Chu Yu looked at her for a while, took the teacup very embarrassedly, and drank the tea.
This person's dedication to the courtesy and the way he gladly accepted it completely angered Chu Zifeng, and he pointed at Chu Yu and said cruelly: "I'm not done with you!" After saying that, he hurried away.
Mei Xiaoren could roughly guess what that sentence meant, so she had to prevent Chu Zifeng's fire from burning innocent people.
Mei Xiaoren was about to leave, but saw that Chu Yu poured a cup of tea for her as if he was polite.
"Young Master Chu, I lied about ...... just now because I was in a hurry." Mei Xiaoren paused, she believed that Chu Yu was a shrewd person and should be able to understand what she meant, so she then apologized, "Anyway, don't be surprised, and thank you for helping me act." ”
Chu Yu nodded and said slowly: "It's a matter of effort." ”
"I still have to say goodbye in advance, son, this meal, count me on." Mei Xiaoren bowed lightly according to the woman's etiquette.
In order to prevent Chu Yu from recognizing it, Mei Xiaoren took slender steps from going downstairs to leaving Mei Lou, attracting many admiring eyes.
When she walked out of the door of the inn, she was "completely exposed", stepped onto the sedan chair with a big stride, and told the sedan chair man to carry her home quickly.
Mei Xiaoren returned home and closed the door, took out a seal wrapped in brocade cloth from the box she brought, took a pen and paper to write a few lines, then opened the brocade cloth, took out the seal and stamped it at the place where the letter was registered, and finally folded the letter and put it in the envelope.
Mei Xiaoren found a trustworthy person to send the letter away, which can be regarded as eliminating his worries.
She put the seal back in the box and stumbled upon a bronze key. It was the key to the Yamen's private treasury, and now it should be empty, but in fact, there are still a few boxes of silver, which were left by Chu Yu at the beginning.
She has been looking for an opportunity to return it, and she has also tried to inquire about Chu Yu in Qiushui County, but there is no news. It turned out that Chu Yu came to Yun County.
Mei Xiaoren stayed in the mansion and waited for a reply, and he didn't think that the letter was sent away for half a day, and there was movement on the Chu family's side.
The servants of the Chu family hurriedly found her house, and shouted as they entered the door: "Oh no......"
