Mei Xiaoren looked at the purse and didn't pick up the things handed over by Li Qingqing for a long time.

Li Qingqing asked, "Is this purse important to Brother Mei?" ”

Mei Xiaoren smiled and said: "I've used it for too long, I'm just used to it, I don't have a preference for purses and other things, and I'm not picky." She put down the purse in her hand and took the Qingqing gift to her, "Thank you." ”

Mrs. Li said again: "Xiao Ren, Qingqing and I are still going to live here for a while, it's almost the New Year, and the house is deserted, if you have time, come and sit often." ”

Mei Xiaoren nodded yes.

When she left the Li Mansion, Qingqing kept sending her to the door and was reluctant to go back, so he let the carriage follow behind, and she walked with Qingqing for a while.

Li Qingqing walked in silence for a while, and asked slowly: "Brother Mei, now that you are a big official in the capital, will you return to Xuanzhou in the future?" ”

"Of course it will, that's my hometown, and the leaves still know how to return to their roots." Mei Xiaoren smiled on his lips, looked at Li Qingqing, and then said, "If I go back in the future, I will definitely go to see the prefect." ”

"Hmm." Li Qingqing replied.

The two of them walked along the official road in the direction of the city gate, the weather was cold, Qingqing's body was easy to catch the wind and cold if he stayed outside for too long, Mei Xiaoren asked Qingqing to stay, and said goodbye to Qingqing after a few words.

At this moment, a carriage came from the direction of the city gate, and although it did not stop, the people in the carriage had already seen the two people waving goodbye on the side of the road.

Wei Guogong looked outside and said lightly: "Isn't that Meifu Yin, on a cold day, how could she say goodbye to a woman on the side of the road." He turned to the person next to him and asked, "Do you know that person?" ”

Ye Zhi looked outside, and at a glance he could recognize who the woman who was with Mei Xiaoren was.

"Back to my father-in-law, that is the daughter of Governor Li of Xuanzhou, called Li Qingqing."

"The daughter of the prefect of Xuanzhou, why did she come all the way to Beijing?" Wei Guogong stroked his beard with a smile, curious, "It's not just friends between her and Meifu Yin, right?" ”

Ye knows: "I only know that Governor Li once intended to recruit Mei Xiaoren as his son-in-law, but I don't know anything else." ”

Mei Xiaoren returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, still holding the purse embroidered by Qingqing for her.

Qingqing's intentions she knew, she had noticed that Qingqing still had a hairpin on her head, but Qingqing wanted to give her a purse, and she couldn't refute Qingqing's face in front of Mrs. Li.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li's mother and daughter will return to Xuanzhou after the beginning of spring, as long as she doesn't show any intentions to Qingqing, there should be no changes between her and Qingqing during this time.

Mei Xiaoren went back to the room to find an empty brocade box and put the purse into the brocade box.

She hadn't looked carefully at the Li Mansion just now, but now she found that the purse was embroidered with plum blossoms, which reminded her of another plum blossom purse.

Aunt Ye said that she had embroidered four purses, and the fancy was Mei Lan Zhu Ju, but she and Ye Zhi lost two when they were displaced, and only Mei and Zhu were still left.

Before meeting her, Aunt Ye gave the plum blossom to Ye Zhi, and after knowing her, she gave her the bamboo leaf purse as a meeting gift.

How many years has it been......

While Mei Xiaoren was pondering, someone wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and asked her, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Qingqing gave me a purse today, and I'm thinking about how to keep her from misunderstanding."

Gu Chuyu saw the purse lying in the brocade box and asked, "Are you going to put it away without it?" ”

"The old ones are used to it, the old ones are old, and they are not broken, and they can be used again." Mei Xiaoren looked down, only to see that there was nothing hanging on her waist except for a jade ornament, and recalled that she had taken it off in the Li Mansion before, and said, "It seems to have fallen in the Li Mansion, forget it, go and get it in a few days." ”

"Lord Fu Yin knows how to embroider?" He asked in her ear.

"Of course." Mei Xiaoren put away his purse, turned around in his arms, looked at him and said with a smile, "Now that the yamen has a lot of things, as the governor of the palace, I can't take an embroidered bandage and embroider it in the public office when my subordinates are busy, and when the New Year comes, I will embroider one for you." ”

Gu Chuyu replied softly: "Okay." ”

The next evening.

Liuyue learned that Mei Xiaoren went to Ding'an Houfu to visit Mrs. Wei after she was on duty, so she wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk back to her master.

He walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw the guards interrogating a woman.

"I'm really a friend of Master Mei......" Li Qingqing explained with a frown.

The guard stiffened his face and sent her away, "Master Mei is not here, you can come back later." ”

When they saw the people coming from behind, they bowed their hands in unison, "Grand Duke." ”

Li Qingqing turned around and saw a black dress and a face that was as cold as ice.

It was because she was like this every time she saw him that she remembered him and was very impressed, knowing that this was a person she could not afford to provoke.

"It's you." Li Qingqing lowered his head slightly, raised his eyes to look at Liuyue, and his eyes looked a little timid.

Her mother said that she must be cautious in the capital, and she must not offend people, especially high-ranking officials, after all, her father's rank is not worth mentioning in the capital.

Liuyue glanced at Li Qingqing. There weren't many women he had dealt with, it was familiar, but he didn't bother with anyone because of this, and walked towards the steps.

"Ah, Grand Duke." Li Qingqing shouted tentatively.

Liuyue stopped, looked sideways slightly, and didn't say a word.

"Can the Metropolitan do me a favor?"

"I can't." Liuyue answered without thinking about it, retracted her gaze and continued to walk forward.

"It's just a small favor, just a gesture." Li Qingqing frowned and pursed his lips.

Liuyue stopped, looked back at Li Qingqing, reluctantly took two steps back, and stretched out his hand towards her.

Li Qingqing was shocked, "How do you know that I want you to help transfer things?" ”

"How do I know?" Liuyue laughed dryly, "But all the ladies who come to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion to wait for the rabbit are all from this idea." ”

Li Qingqing only then understood that he thought that she, like those women, was here to be courteous to Xiangye or Brother Mei. She frowned, "I'm not here to ......"

The smile on Liuyue's face dissipated, she looked ahead, and said coldly: "I don't have time to listen to your explanation, to give or not to give?" ”

Li Qingqing saw that he was completely impatient, so he hurriedly took out something and put it in his hand, for fear that he would suddenly change his mind if it was too late.

Liuyue looked down at the old purse, it really didn't look like it could be given away.

"This is what Brother Mei left behind, I wanted to send it to the Shangjing Government Office, but I was afraid of disturbing Brother Mei on duty, so I came here, and he was not there. It was not easy for me to get out of the house, and the governor of Lao Dadu helped me transfer it to him, and Qingqing thanked me here. Li Qingqing lowered his eyes and said, and after speaking, he bowed and left.

After Li Qingqing left, Liuyue shook his head a few times. He didn't listen to him, but he still listened to her explanation inexplicably.
