29. Attract bees and butterflies
Mei Yi was respectfully invited out by Sheqing's maid, and she didn't dwell on it, shrugged her shoulders and stepped on her new shoes and walked back to her next room.
Standing on the passage on the second floor, she tossed a golden pear in one hand, secretly thinking back to the cold smile she saw at the end.
Shouldn't you come?
So, she didn't go into her makeshift room either. The wet clothes on his body have long been changed to the colorful brocade robes that the women here often wear, but the short hair and pale complexion are still very eye-catching.
The maid once gave her a beautiful silk scarf with wooden incense beads hanging from it, which could cover the top of her head, which was also a common decoration method for women here.
She didn't want to wear it because she thought it was troublesome, but now it came in handy.
The small building is independent of this, about the boudoir of an unmarried woman, carved beams and painted buildings, particularly exquisite, at first glance it is specially built for the daughter.
It's very different from the other buildings here.
Descending the stairs, stepping on the dark wooden planks made a clanging sound.
As soon as she came out of the porch, she saw an older maid standing in the corridor at the entrance of the second floor, looking at her without saying anything, as if she did not want to let her out.
After waiting for a while, the woman didn't speak, and Mei Yi felt inexplicable, so she still opened the door of this small courtyard.
With a bang, two big knives crossed in front of the girl, startling Mei Yi's eyes wide and pulling the silk scarf on her chin.
The two tall guards did not squint, and the meaning was very clear, and they were forbidden to travel.
Well, although her behavior is a little strange now, she is not going to be placed under house arrest here.
"Uh, this big brother, I want to meet your young lady's brother, I have something to ask."
Now that she's here, how embarrassing it is to be blocked back by the ashes, she is not a prisoner of this family, how can she treat her life-saving benefactor like this!
Mei Yi leaned firmly at the door, her lips slightly opened, "You go and report it personally, that Ah Lian knows, someone looks at me and can't run away." Besides, is this the hospitality of your lord's house? ”
The big eyes blinked, adding credibility to his words, and at the same time, the sarcasm between the words was also strong.
A guard thought about it, and glanced at the little brother opposite, the man nodded and ran away directly with the big knife.
The guard also ignored Mei Yi, and stood alone at the gate with his back to the woman with a knife.
Ha, are all the family members dragging like this? However, these two people are both face-to-face, not from the knife team they saw before.
Her memory is getting better and better, and she will never be mistaken.
Playing with the big lock hanging on the door, after a while, the flurry guard came back and whispered something in the other ear.
The other nodded, withdrew the broadsword in his hand and put it behind his back, and waved his hand in a gesture of please.
Ha, that's kind now.
"The eldest young master, please."
"So... See you later. Mei Yi smiled smugly at the guard, quite a kind of villain's ambition. Strode out of the courtyard with the stunned boy in front, and after a few steps, he heard the sound of "clicking" the lock behind him.
The woman's footsteps paused, her face did not change, but she did not look back and continued to stride forward.
The grand stone castle hall with white vaulted ceilings carved with various forms of flying eagles is magnificent.
There are two stone chairs decorated with gorgeous blankets, and on the small one sits a graceful and luxurious middle-aged lady with a beautiful face, and at a glance you know that she must be a famous beauty when she is young.
Ah Lian, who was at the bottom, got up to greet him, and introduced the middle-aged woman with a smile, "Mother, this is Miss Mei Yi who saved her sister, if it weren't for her, Sheqing might..."
Madame gently raised her hand to stop her son's next words, looked at the woman opposite, and looked up and down, "It's such a young girl, and meeting you is also the creation of my family's Sheqing." ”
"Madame is gracious." Mei Yi was calm in the middle-aged woman's gaze, her eyes flowed, and she nodded generously.
The middle-aged lady who was sitting flashed her eyes, and seemed to have some whispers about the young woman's etiquette, but swallowed it again because of something.
Elegantly bowed to Mei Yi, and everyone sat down.
"I wonder where Miss Mei Yi came from?"
"Madame doesn't have to be polite, just call me Mei Yi. Well, the Central Plains region, which is far away from here, is a small place, and it may not be interesting to say it. ”
Mei Yi also wanted to say, but according to what she saw and heard along the way, this place or this era is not the world to which she belongs, and where did she come from.
If the compilation is not mellow, it will arouse suspicion. It's better to be mysterious from the beginning, for the sake of face, I think they won't chase after this matter to inquire.
"Oh, then I don't know why Mei Yi is here? How did you meet my daughter? ”
"It was a pure accident, I didn't think of it here, if I could, I would leave here tomorrow." Mei Yi said tentatively, but her eyes paid attention to the looks of the two opposite.
"As for Ling Yan, I have already told Ah Lian on the way, I think you also have a general understanding?"
The lady at the top stopped and plucked the right hand of the amber bracelet, "How is that good, Miss Mei Yi has saved our family, since we are here, we should always do our best to be a landlord, please rest assured that you will stay longer." ”
"I..."
"Just give the old woman some face, if Sheqing wakes up, she must be willing to stay with Mei Yi for a few more days. If you can accompany the little girl to make her happy, no longer looking for death and life, the old woman will definitely send a large pen for you to use. Madame smiled and kept again, even at the expense of promising heavy profits.
"What Mother said is that you have no relatives and no reason here, so it is better to spend a few more days here, and our family will treat each other as guests." Ah Lian also agreed, and his attitude was extremely eager.
Hehe, the weasel gives the chicken a New Year's greeting.
Having said that, if Mei Yi refuses again, it will not look good on both sides.
Okay, then see the move, she didn't plan to leave now.
Still, it made her poke out something.
On the way back, Ah Lian said worriedly: "Meiyi, don't mind, my mother has always been like this, and her attitude is more... Stubborn, but never bad. ”
"How could it be! I know that Madame also loves her daughter, but I am currently homeless, but I would like to thank you and Madame for taking me in. "One sings red-faced and the other white-faced, she understands.
"Haha, it's good that you can think so, but don't be too polite, I've already ordered it to go down, if there is anyone who doesn't do well, you can find me at any time." Ah Lian patted his chest, looking like everything was wrapped around him.
Mei Yi smiled and did not answer.
Ah Lian didn't mention it again, and a smile appeared on his handsome face, but it was a little similar to his girl who had fallen into the city. Along the way, she introduced the beautiful scenery of her home and the ornately decorated Buddhist hall, and went around and around, but she didn't mention a word about the serious road.
So much so that now Mei Yi still knows nothing about the internal structure of this home.
Back in the bedroom, there were already two young maids inside, fifteen or sixteen years old, the age of flowers and bones.
greeted her sweetly, and was busy preparing fragrant soup to relieve her fatigue, such a comfortable feeling, but it has been a long time.
They were busy in the clean room in the room, putting on some new bath supplies. Mei Yi took a look at the very different interior, all the luxurious blankets were laid on the ground, and she felt that it was really a waste of art when she stepped on it.
"Don't put spices, I don't like too strong taste, there's enough water."
"How can this be done, the young master instructed us to serve Miss Mei Yi attentively, and all kinds of precious spices were sent over!" A lively apple-faced girl replied with a smile, her voice crisp and pleasant, "Miss don't want to try it, maybe there is something you like?" ”
"Yes, this spice is rare, and every year only a few wealthy families in the city can afford it, and the price is comparable to that of gold. The young master is also kind, young lady don't live up to the young master's intentions! Another little girl with a delicate face wearing pink velvet flowers also echoed, and her tone was not normal.
Did she misunderstand something?
"Aren't there dried petals over there, just put less of them, and I'm not going out to attract bees and butterflies, why are you so fragrant?" Mei Yi looked at their busy figures and quipped.
"Haha, Miss is so funny!" Apple's face smiled and showed her big white teeth.
"I'm just staying for a while, you don't have to be so attentive, just be normal." May's words meant something.
"Really?" The delicate little girl unexpectedly stopped what she was doing and looked at the woman who was reclining on the doorframe.
Also, it's so unruly, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a future housewife. Madame will definitely not pass that level, even if the young master has a good attitude towards her, what is the use? Edelweiss was in a sunny mood, and Mei Yi's appearance was not picking her nose and eyes.
I can't get in the way of myself, so I still have to do things well, so that this woman has the opportunity to go to the young master to sue her.
Mei Yi stood up straight, the corners of her mouth hooked, a little interesting.
"Guess?"
Looking at her funny and funny appearance, the little Edelweiss girl was so angry that her face turned red, as if someone had seen through something, but she couldn't say a word of disrespect.
The apple-faced girl pulled the sleeves of the edelweiss a little embarrassed, and looked at Mei Yi again, "Miss is too polite, you are a distinguished guest at home, and the steward repeatedly told us to serve well before we came." Edelweiss has a straight temperament, not teasing, don't be surprised, Miss. ”
"Oh, really?" Mei Yi was noncommittal, her eyebrows raised, "I'm serious, let's get along well during my time here, just don't make unnecessary trouble for each other." ”
"Yes, we will definitely take good care of Miss. Right, edelweiss? ”
"Yes." The delicate little girl of the red velvet bit her lip and nodded at the urging of her companion.
Mei Yi smiled and clapped her hands, "That's good." ”
In everything, it is better to think more than less, especially in unfamiliar places.
If you invite trouble to yourself because of a little inexplicable jealousy, it will be too wrong!
The leno tent on the top of the bed was layered on top of the bed, bright and beautiful, and there were many gorgeous ornaments on the dresser, but there were no beads on the braids, after all, she didn't need them.
A lot of silk scarves of various colors were folded in silver carved trays, and the people who prepared them were also bothered.
The gold, silver and copper kettles, vases of hanging paintings, brocade curtains, and so on, are not inferior to the rooms of serious ladies at a glance.
It's quite expensive!
Mei Yi's heart turned a thousand times, and she shook her head helplessly, she was really used to this kind of life, and she never had a moment of peace in her mind.
On this day, when is the head?
