Chapter 52: An Awkward Encounter

In May, the weather gradually warmed up, and the winter wheat in the fields saw that it would be harvested in half a month, and there was no news about the conscription, and the village gradually returned to its former liveliness during this period.

Gu Muqing helped the Gu family chop firewood, and by the way, he also got a big bundle for Lin Mei's family.

"Brother Mu Qing, my sister asked you to rest for a while, give it, this is the soy milk that has just been boiled, and my sister has put sugar, but it is sweet." After Momoko finished speaking, she placed the bowl on the bench in the courtyard. barked a little black and walked the dog to play.

Gu Muqing took the soy milk and drank it in one go, and he didn't know if he put too much soy milk sugar, which made him feel that today's soy milk was the sweetest bowl he had ever drunk in his life. Instantly full of blood resurrection and feel full of energy, checked the water tank, saw that the water was only a small half, without saying a word, picked up the flat pole and the bucket to fetch water.

Father Lin looked at this diligent young man, his expression was in his eyes, and his heart was like eating sugar, beautiful, thinking about this young man's tone for a while.

Just when Father Lin was thinking about it, there was an unexpected guest at home.

"Seeing that Uncle Lin's body is much better than last time, I feel guilty and blamed myself at home every day, and now I can finally put it back in my stomach." Xiao Qiming said.

"It's all old and decayed, which makes Xiao Gongzi worried." Father Lin bowed to Xiao Gongzi and said, "There is some chaos in the courtyard, please sit in Xiao Gongzi's house." ”

After speaking, let Xi'er serve tea.

Xi'er took a glass of water and entered the hall, and saw that there was a handsome young scholar in the house, who was talking to Father Lin, and secretly glanced at it, and ran to the kitchen curiously and asked: "Sister Meizi, who is the person in the house, the long Si Siwen is really good-looking." ”

As soon as Xiao Qiming came, Lin Mei heard his voice in the kitchen, but she was busy with her work and didn't have time to take care of it.

"He is the young scholar Xiao Qiming and Xiao Gongzi that our father saved." Lin Mei replied.

"Oh~ Oh, it turned out to be him, he looks like a talent, and I don't know if he is engaged." Xi'er suddenly realized.

"Why do you care about this?" Lin Mei was a little puzzled.

"I don't care about you, I heard Sister Chun Tao say that the two of you were discussed in the village at the beginning, if he really didn't get engaged, then he was also a good candidate." Xi'er said.

"How do you know he's a good candidate, some people don't know their hearts." Lin Mei sometimes really doesn't understand what this little head is thinking about all day.

Xi'er was not in a hurry, and said seriously: "It is said that each other is born from the heart, he is so good-looking, just like the fairy in the painting, he must be kind-hearted." ”

"Yo, I can't see it, we Xi'er will still look at the face." Lin Mei said jokingly.

Gu Muqing poured the water he picked up into the tank, and listened to Lin Mei talking to Xi'er in the kitchen, and wanted to see Lin Mei, so he walked to the kitchen door and said to Lin Mei: "Meizi, the water is full, what else do you need my help with?" ”

The soy milk in the pot was just solidified and formed, and Lin Mei was about to pour it into the mold.

Gu Muqing stepped forward to help, and inadvertently touched Lin Mei's hand, Lin Mei quickly took her hand back, this time it was embarrassing, Gu Muqing was holding the cauldron, and it was not to lift it, nor to lift it.

Still Xi'er reacted quickly, and said to Lin Mei: "Sister, is it hot, quickly rinse it with cold water." ”

Lin Mei walked out of the kitchen with understanding.

Gu Muqing took it seriously, hurriedly vacated the bean curd in the pot into the mold, put the pot away, and followed out, so that Lin Mei had to show him if the heat was serious.

When Daddy Lin was embarrassed and didn't know what to talk about, he heard that someone seemed to be burned, and he left the hall in a hurry, and saw Gu Muqing pestering Lin Mei to let him see, thinking that Lin Mei was really burned, and asked, "Meizi, why are you burned, is it serious?" ”

When Xiao Qiming heard this, he also walked out, and saw Lin Mei standing in the courtyard with a man, seeing that their relationship was not ordinary, and his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Miss Lin, is this burned? I have good scald medicine in my house, so I'll ask the little guy to go back to my house and get it. After speaking, without waiting for Lin Mei to reply, she went out of the gate directly and asked the little maid a few words, then returned to the courtyard and said to her: "I have asked the little maid to go back to the house to get the medicine, Miss Lin will wait for a while." ”

Lin Mei saw that he was staring at his hand after speaking, so ashamed that she put her hand into her sleeve to cover it, and said busily: "No need, no need, it's no big deal, the farmer often works, all of them are rough and thick-skinned, so fastidious." ”

"Miss Lin's words are wrong, Confucius said, the body is skinny, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning. Miss Lin should take good care of her body, this is our filial piety for our children, Uncle Lin, are you right? Xiao Qiming said eloquently, and pulled Uncle Lin in.

Lin Mei saw that it would not end well if this matter continued to be ripped off, so she smiled reluctantly and said, "Xiao Gongzi is a distinguished guest, how can I let you stand in the courtyard, Daddy, you better invite Xiao Gongzi to sit in the house." ”

"Yes, yes, the hospitality is not good, please forgive Xiao Gongzi, sit in the house." Father Lin felt unreasonable at this time, and invited Xiao Gongzi into the house.

Xiao Gongzi asked calmly: "Please also ask Uncle Lin to blame Xiaosheng's unreasonableness, I didn't find out before, I didn't know that Miss Lin also has an older brother and a younger sister, and she didn't prepare a thin gift." ”

"Xiao Gongzi misunderstood, this little brother was originally a nephew next door, his surname was Mu Qing, and he had a good relationship with my family, and Xi'er was the righteous daughter I just received." After Father Lin finished speaking, he also asked Xi'er to salute Xiao Gongzi.

Xiao Gongzi stood and accepted the salute, took out the purse in his sleeve, took out a pair of small silver bracelets, and said: "I don't have any preparations, this was originally prepared for the younger sister at home, and now I will give Sister Xi'er and Sister Peach to play with one by one." After speaking, he handed it to Xi'er.

Xi'er was taken aback, she had never received such a valuable gift since she was a child, and she couldn't help but look at her sister.

"This can't be helped, Xiao Gongzi quickly take it back, this is for Sister Ling, how can it be given to my sister." Lin Mei said.

"I said that I will make it, not to mention that this is also my intention, it is just that I can't look down on it, just see, I will come back tomorrow with another gift." Xiao Gongzi's move is to retreat, but he doesn't take his hand back.

Seeing this, Lin Mei was really afraid that he would bring a gift to the door tomorrow, so she asked Xi'er to take the bracelet.

I saw Xiao Gongzi "oops", patted his head and said: "Look at me, I forgot that there is still Miss Lin and Brother Lin Xian's share, and please don't blame Miss Lin, I will definitely make up for it next time I come." ”

Lin Mei was a little suspicious that he was doing it on purpose, but seeing that he looked sincere, he didn't seem to be fake, and said: "Xiao Gongzi is too polite, Xiao Gongzi just comes empty-handed as a guest, our family is not so particular." ”

Gu Muqing, who had been standing aside, changed from a red face to a black face, and he was already very sure that this guy did it on purpose, otherwise where would he get an excuse to go to the door of the Lin family next time. And in front of the Lin family, he is giving medicine and gifts, but he is much better than being empty-handed, this guy is too scheming, he must have taken a fancy to Lin Mei, otherwise this rich boy would have to run to this poor country to do it.

Gu Muqing's heart was full of alarm bells, and in the face of this sudden rival in love, he was a little helpless, staring at that guy, afraid that he would play some ghost again.
