Chapter 16: The Lone Star
Jiang Rong let go of his fist and slapped Ah Qing on the head, and said angrily: "You mention him again!" ”
Ah Qing hurriedly covered his mouth and was silent.
The windows of the hall were tightly closed, making the already oppressive hall even more dull.
Mei Xiaoren sped up the fan, and said lightly: "My business is not bothering my cousin and the old lady, there are many people in the family today, and I still have a lot of things to do, as for my cousin's wedding banquet, I have to ask my father if I want to go or not, so that he can think about it." ”
Xiao Ru hooked the corners of her lips lightly: "Sister Mei, my grandmother and I are not far here, but I don't want to hear your consideration." ”
Today is her father's birthday banquet, Mei Xiaoren didn't want to conflict with her grandparents and grandchildren at home, and said slightly: "At the beginning, the old lady sent a message to split up and asked my father to take me out of the Xiao Mansion, and my father complied, and now the old lady asks my father to go back, my father may be obedient." ”
After Mei Xiaoren finished speaking, he put on a veil and walked towards the door, not forgetting to instruct the people outside the door: "Today, the people in the mansion are busy with miscellaneous affairs, and I am afraid that the old lady and Miss Tang will not be well entertained in the mansion, so I will send some people to send them back in a while." By the way, wrap the pearl necklace that the treasure shop received a few days ago and give it to Miss Tang as a congratulatory gift. ”
A shadow came out of the side hall, and immediately froze Jiang Rong's gaze.
He was worried that he didn't know how to stop this family business, and when he saw Miss Xiao's family, he was like a willow and a flower, and boldly followed.
What could be more direct than debunking Mei Xiaoren in front of Miss Xiao's family?
The back of Nalan Yi passed through the weeping flower gate and walked into the purple and red garden, as if she had left the world independent, so that Jiang Rong, who came up, became more and more unbearable...... I can't bear to let such a good flower fall into Mei Xiaoren's hands.
Before he could catch up, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Girl, stay here." ”
Mei Xiaoren immediately stopped, because this voice was quite familiar!
She glanced back, and sure enough.
If the ghost does not disperse, Jiang Rong is much more powerful than Chu Zifeng.
Jiang Yi could only see her indifferent eyes, and he couldn't see the corners of his lips twitching with anger under the veil.
"Girl, please forgive me for being abrupt." Ei gave up.
Now she knows even if Jiang Ei turns to ashes, but in order to hide her identity, she has to ask: "Who is Childe?" What's the point? ”
"In Shimoe, I came to the door today, and I came to find the girl."
"Really?" Mei Xiaoren's beautiful eyes bent slightly, "But I don't know my son, so I won't accompany me." ”
Mei Xiaoren was about to leave, but Jiang Rong broke in front of her again, blocking the way.
"You don't know me, but you must know Mei Xiaoren."
Jiang Rong's words aroused Mei Xiaoren's curiosity, and to see what tricks he wanted to play, he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Her voice was as soft and weak as a spring breeze, and it made people's hearts melt when they heard it, and it also made Jiang Rong even more unbearable. He had no scruples and said bluntly: "That man is a hypocrite, not worthy of the girl's admiration!" ”
The slender hand quietly pinched the handle of the fan, but Mei Xiaoren had to have a smile on his face, especially in his eyes, and asked softly, "Is it?" ”
"I can see that the girl is a good girl with a good heart, and I can't bear the girl's infatuation. The girl didn't know that Mei Xiaoren, as a county magistrate, bullied one side, not only bribed the people to falsify political achievements, but also colluded with bandits and bandits, and was an out-and-out corrupt official! ”
Her hand shook more slowly and heavily, and her eyes glanced at the flowerbed beside her.
"Don't believe it, girl, he can do anything in order to get promoted and make a fortune......"
"Jiang Gongzi!" Mei Xiaoren interrupted Jiang Rong's words and asked with a smile, "Are you finished?" ”
"Miss Xiao, there are many good men in the world, Mei Xiaoren is not worthy of the girl's life, once the court opens its eyes and finds out about him, then it is when he is ruined, and the girl can't accompany him to lose everything."
"Who I admire has nothing to do with Childe." Mei Xiaoren turned around, and after taking a few steps, he beckoned to his subordinates.
"What does the young lady command?"
Mei Xiaoren changed his previous good tone and said coldly: "Please ask this son to go out." ”
Is it kindness to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs? Ei was stunned.
Ah Qing said angrily: "You really don't know how to do it, my son-in-law is obviously kind enough to remind you, you still don't appreciate it......"
Mei Xiaoren turned a deaf ear and walked away without looking back. She walked through the archway into a courtyard where the two of them were out of sight.
When she entered the courtyard, she stopped, stood in front of the hollow stone window and glanced at the master and servant, watching them being politely "invited" out of the mansion by her subordinates, she took off her veil and sneered roughly: "Fool! ”
Originally, Chu Zifeng disappeared, and Mei Xiaoren was in a good mood, but three uninvited guests came in the middle of the night today, disturbing all her interest.
After she met Jiang Ei, she couldn't help but recall in her mind how difficult it was to escape from her fate, as well as the hard work and bitterness of the past two years, but in the end she was cut off by an official letter......
Mei Xiaoren's heart was in a mess, and he wanted to find a remote place to be calm and calm, and unconsciously arrived at a courtyard in the southwest corner.
This place was a courtyard that was incorporated into her house, and the former owner was the Chu family.
At the beginning, the Chu family was short of money, and the head of the Chu family had a backbone on the surface, and it was not easy to receive help from her family, so he gave this house near the backyard of the Xiao Mansion to her family. Her father could understand the thoughts of the Chu family patriarch, so he didn't refuse.
Her father accepted it, but he didn't plan to take the house for himself, so he kept it idle, and only opened a door to connect the two mansions.
Very few people have been here in recent years, and the courtyard has become more and more deserted, and she has only come once when the house has changed hands, when the family has removed a big tree that stands in the way in order to dig through the two houses.
She found a dice made of jade, six o'clock up, in the pit of the tree that she had left behind.
Her father said that this was a good sign, so she took the dice back and washed them, put a red rope around her neck, and prayed for good luck.
Mei Xiaoren pulled out the dice hidden under the collar and looked at it, I don't know if there is a god in the underworld, anyway, since she took this dice, she has always been able to turn evil into good fortune, and she has not been unlucky.
In addition to meeting Eei!
She felt that that person must be a lone star, and no matter how spiritual things were, they couldn't control it.
Mei Xiaoren was standing in the courtyard meditating, but the dusty courtyard door suddenly sounded.
She put the dice back and went behind the door to listen for a while.
It looks like someone outside wants to open the door.
This is the gate that used to be, but now it's just a bolt from the inside, and it's not locked.
Who will come to this place?
Mei Xiaoren was curious, pulled out the door bolt slightly, and opened the door a little gap to look out. She saw a figure standing up, without Shengxue's white clothes, he was wearing an indigo blue straight coat, but no matter what he was wearing, when he stood there, he would show his outstanding elegance to the fullest.
Mei Xiaoren was only slightly distracted, as if he was sighing for a beautiful thing that was ingenious, and he would not be addicted.
If she hadn't been a self-proclaimed man for a long time and had seen through the red dust, I am afraid that she would have to be seduced by such a beautiful man who is unparalleled in the world like other little girls.
I didn't expect them to meet here.
