I know that it is not interesting to stay in my parents' house any longer, and I will leave with a tear.

Before he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Mei Xiaotong, "Sister, wait a minute." ”

Mei Yongzhen shook off Mei Xiaotong's hand in shame, "What are you doing to stop me?" Don't you guys have enough jokes? ”

Mei Xiaotong glanced at Tianlong, "Close the door, don't let your aunt go." ”

Tianlong agreed, and closed the door at a trot.

Mei Yongzhen looked at Mei Xiaotong nervously, and stammered in fright, "You...... What do you want to do? ”

In the back room, Mei Zhongzhong also heard that this movement was wrong, and hurriedly rushed out, "Xiaotong, what are you going to do?" She's your eldest sister—"

Mei Xiaotong didn't bother to care about Mei Zhongzhong, and pulled Mrs. Li to mutter, Mrs. Li looked reluctant, but she had no choice, so she had to poke her daughter's forehead with her finger, and then reluctantly entered the back room.

After a while, he packed out a package and stuffed it to Mei Xiaotong angrily, and then went back to the house angrily.

Mei Xiaotong shook her head, her own mother was angry again, and she had to coax her later.

took the package, walked up to Mei Yongzhen, and handed the package over.

Mei Yongzhen was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.

Mei Xiaotong stuffed the package into her hand, "Here is a piece of fabric, and five taels of silver, you can take it back!" This is for the sake of your Mei family's most difficult time, and you are still worried about losing a bag of food and two hundred big money to your family. ”

"It can be regarded as repaying your love that day, lest you go back and be frustrated by your mother-in-law. In this world, what you plant and what you get, if you really have your mother's family in your heart, your mother's family will naturally not treat you badly! But if you want to rely on your mother's family for everything, I'll put my words here today, impossible! The eldest sister went back and thought about it, the Mei family didn't live with you, and there was no place for the Sun family. If you have a grudge against our Mei family because of this, then you can complain! I don't care anyway! ”

After speaking, he instructed Tianlong to "open the door and send your aunt out." ”

Mei Yongzhen looked at the package in her hand in disbelief, and then looked up at Mei Xiaotong.! ichi Literature ...... Better, newer and faster

Mei Xiaotong didn't speak, just looked at her so lightly.

Mei Yongzhen's eyes flashed with a complicated color, hugged the package in his arms, bowed his head and left Mei's house quickly.

As soon as she left, Mei Zhongzhong came back to her senses, "When there was an accident at home, your eldest sister sent something?" Why didn't I know? ”

Mrs. Li came out of the back room angrily, "You know, what's the matter?" When you were so angry with her that you vomited blood and had a stroke, she just couldn't get over her conscience, and sent a few catties of food and two hundred dollars, why, did you think your eldest daughter was the best? Then you were so angry that you had a stroke, and the money you have spent so far has been paid by Xiaotong, why don't you read Xiaotong's good? ”

Mei Zhongzhong showed embarrassment, "I...... I'm not ......"

Mei Xiaotong was fed up with Mei Zhongzhong's endless temptation, and said bluntly, "Dad, don't use others as rafts in the future."

Now, let me tell you, this family will either let me be! If you don't let me be, then split up! ”

dropped the bomb, and Mei Xiaotong went straight into the house.

"What?" Everyone is stupid.

Only Mrs. Li smiled, "Yes!" Separation! Good separation! Everything in the house belongs to me Xiaotong, I will go with my Xiaotong, you can live with your son! ”

happily went into the house to find his daughter.

Mei Zhongzhong only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and he was separated! Absolutely not!

When Mei Changgui and Tianhu went home, they all panicked when they heard Mei Xiaotong's words.

One by one, they all ran to Mei Zhongzhong's house, and they all complained about Mei Zhongzhong, "Dad, what do you think you want?" Isn't this bad at home now? What do you have to toss? Toss and scatter you are old and satisfied? ”

"No, Dad, it's good for my little sister to be in charge! You see that the days at home are getting more and more prosperous day by day, what are you not satisfied with? You are now enjoying the blessings of the Qing Dynasty, and you go to the field every day to see, how good the days are! How many people in our village envy you! You're having a good day, but if you have to mess with your little sister, you've forgotten-"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shuddered, oh my mother, I almost forgot about it, the divine power of the little sister ......

Even the heavenly leopards made a fuss when they heard it: "I want my aunt to be in charge!" Don't be in charge! ”

Mei Zhongzhong straightened his face, "Stinky boy, what are you talking about?" ”

"My aunt has meat to eat, and she can eat enough! I can't get enough to eat! The leopard pulled Xiao Juan, "Xiao Juan, did you say?" ”

Xiaojuan nodded, and said in a low voice, "My aunt is in charge, let's go out, everyone else is rushing to play with us-"

Mei Zhongzhong's face was like earth, but he didn't expect that even his grandson at home was not optimistic about him.

Then what is the reason for my own broken heart for them?

Immediately discouraged.

Tianhu forced a laugh and dragged his two younger brothers out.

After a long time, Mei Zhongzhong waved his hand, "Let's go out-"

Mei Changgui was still not at ease, "Dad, do you want to understand?" Will you toss it in the future? ”

Mei Zhongzhong was annoyed and angry, "Get out of here!" I don't care about it in the future, it's not okay? ”

Everyone was relieved.

The leopard heard it outside, and clapped his hands, "Master is not at home!" There will be meat to eat again! That's great! ”

Xiao Juan and Xiao Duo also laughed, and it was a celebration for the whole family.

From that day on, Mei Zhongzhong never mentioned the matter of being in charge of the family again, and other people naturally did not mention it.

Mei Xiaotong also breathed a sigh of relief, she had to prepare new dyes every day, and she really didn't have time to care about Mei Zhongzhong.

These days, she has already concocted crimson and dyed a whole crimson cloth, and the day the cloth was dyed, it simply stunned all the people in the Mei family.

As for dyeing Valerian, Mei Xiaotong remembered that the shopkeeper Zheng asked someone to bring a message, saying that it was best to prepare a few horses with elegant patterns

The cloth, together with the freshly dyed crimson cloth, is useful at that time.

Mei Xiaotong guessed that she was afraid that the shopkeeper Zheng was going to take the route of a high-class noblewoman.

Originally, she planned to let Wen paint it, but later, after thinking about it, she would do it herself.

In the past, she had studied Chinese painting, also learned gongbi painting, and also studied oil painting for a few years, knowing that the pattern should be elegant and elegant, pondering for several days, before drawing two, one is under the moonlight, pieces of white plum bloom from the branches, petals fly in the air, from sparse to dense.

There is also a pair of magnolias, a slanted branch of magnolia, quietly open, simple.

For these two paintings, Mei Xiaotong carefully painted them for two days, and then together with Wen, the fabric was tightly tied up and then thrown into the dye vat.

After the two dyed valerian horses were thoroughly rinsed and dried, Mrs. Li was stunned.

I didn't dare to reach out and touch it.

"Girl, did you draw this?" Mrs. Li didn't expect her daughter to be so powerful.

"Yes, thanks to the good teaching of the third sister-in-law, I think I also have a bit of talent for painting, how about it, mother, I'm not bad at drawing, right?" Mei Xiaotong bragged cheekily.

"Beautiful! My daughter's drawings are beautiful! Mrs. Li sighed for a long time, and in the evening, it was rare to say a good word to Wen, "You taught well, catch up with Ming'er, let Xiaotong pull some material for you, change your clothes, don't lose the face of our Lao Mei family!" ”

Even if the tone was not very good, it also moved Wen.

After being married for so many years, it was the first time I heard my mother-in-law praise herself, and she had to pull fabrics to make clothes for herself, which I didn't dare to think about before.

Because the dyes and cloth were more important this time, Mei Xiaotong decided to hand them over to the shopkeeper Zheng in person, and by the way, ask how the dye workshop was prepared? The dyes they sent themselves, how well did they test them?

Unexpectedly, as soon as I packed up my things in the morning, I heard a knock on the door outside, "Miss Wang, is Miss Wang at home?" ”

The sound was familiar.

As soon as Mei Changgui went to open the door, Xiao Sanzi, the assistant under the shopkeeper Zheng, was knocking on the door with an anxious face.

When he saw the door open, he rushed inside, "Is Miss Wang at home?" ”

Mei Xiaotong walked out of the house, "Little second brother, what's wrong?" ”

"Miss Wang, quick, come with me!" If Mei Changgui hadn't stopped him in the middle, the third son would have to drag people in person.

Mei Xiaotong was stunned, "But what happened?" ”

"Big ...... Great thing! The little third son was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Miss Wang, come with me!" Rest assured, it's a good thing! Our shopkeeper won't hurt you! ”

Seeing that the little third son was so anxious, Mei Xiaotong groaned, picked up the things she had packed, and walked out.

Outside Mei's house, a carriage was parked, "Miss Wang, get in the car so quickly"

Mei Changgui was not at ease and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the third son, "Brother Mei, our shopkeeper only said, let Miss Wang go alone." ”

Mei Changgui felt strange when he heard it, so he naturally refused.

It was Mei Xiaotong who said, "It's okay, fourth brother, I believe in Shopkeeper Zheng, it's okay to go."

Saying that, the Heavenly Tiger after Chong Mei's long body shēn made a look.

Tianhu nodded, indicating that he understood.

The carriage galloped all the way, almost turning Mei Xiaotong upside down.

Xiao Sanzi wiped the sweat on his forehead and apologized, "Miss Wang, I'm really sorry, it's just that time is urgent, how much delay you have"

What can Mei Xiaotong say, she can only endure it.

I knew that riding in a carriage was so tiring, so it was better to walk on two legs.

I hurried all the way, but instead of going to the restaurant, I went straight to the dye mill that had just been built along the river at the edge of the town.

At the door of the dyeing workshop, the lanterns are colorful, and the ground is also covered with carpet, and there is an incense case on the carpet, and the surroundings are full of people watching the hot rè.

"Oh, what are you doing when you say that the auspicious dyeing workshop hasn't opened yet, and it's going to open such a big formation today,"

"Seeing that there was no early this morning, there was such a group of people from the county seat, riding tall horses, all with knives, and the adult in the middle, I heard that it was from the palace."

"This shopkeeper Zheng is really hand-eyed, how to open a dyeing workshop, there are still people in the palace"

"You don't know, I heard, didn't the girl of the Mei family dyed a novel cloth last time and was taken by the lady in the palace, these people are said to be sent by the lady of the palace to reward the girl of the Mei family."

"God, this is a blessing that has never been there."

"It's not, hey, this ancestral tomb of the Mei family is only afraid that it is smoking, right, the reward of the lady in the palace."

Mei Xiaotong listened to a few words in the carriage, and there were points in her heart, and she was a little disbelieving.

Then I heard a broken shout "Stop"

The carriage came to an abrupt stop, and Mei Xiaotong almost didn't hit the wall of the car, but fortunately she stabilized.

I heard the little third son's careful laughter, "This adult, inside is the Wang girl that the adult wants to see." ”

"Get out of the car and check"

Then the little third son lifted the curtain "Miss Wang, get out of the car"

Mei Xiaotong tidied up her clothes and hair, got off the car slowly, and saw two fierce men blocking the carriage.

Seeing Mei Xiaotong get out of the car, the two men went into the carriage to search for a while, and then one of them held the package Mei Xiaotong was carrying, and nodded at her, "Come in with me"

Mei Xiaotong looked at the little third son.

The little third son nodded hurriedly.

Mei Xiaotong followed behind the man, and along the way, she saw that there were dozens of men near the dyeing workshop, stopping the people who wanted to watch the hot rè, otherwise they would be too close to the dyeing workshop.

The door of the dyeing workshop was wide open, and when I walked in, I saw that the shopkeeper Zheng was accompanying a man in fancy clothes, walking around the dyeing workshop, still explaining something.

The man stepped forward and said something to the man in the fancy suit

The man turned his head to glance at a young man with a white face and beard.

Then he said a few words, and the shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly bent down and agreed, and trotted all the way to Mei Xiaotong.

"Follow me, wait to receive the reward" said and led Mei Xiaotong out of the door and knelt in front of the incense case.

Mei Xiaotong hesitated for a moment and knelt behind the shopkeeper Zheng.

The young man, after a while, came out with a tray, stood in front of the incense case, and said in a shrill voice, with a characteristic arrogant tone, "You are the daughter of the Wang family"

Mei Xiaotong lowered her head, "Back to my lord, the folk girl is"

"Count your ancestors on the accumulation of virtue, your material, after entering, was taken by our mother, and I love it very much. Our mother is compassionate, I heard that your family is also a well-off family, but the family has changed, and your father and brother are sick in bed, forcing Bibi to have to dye cloth to support your family, but you are a filial woman. Have mercy on you, and give you a few things."

Mei Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, but immediately came back to her senses, "Xie Niangniang, the people are grateful."

The tray in the man's hand was raised, and in the sun, there were a few ingots of gold in the tray, as well as a few pieces of jewelry, which were brilliant and shining, and they were not ordinary at first glance.

The onlookers around didn't dare to come out.

I saw the man put the tray in Mei Xiaotong's hand, turned around and walked back to stand still.

Mei Xiaotong carefully held the tray, and saw the shopkeeper Zheng kowtowing, and shouted "Xie Niangniang's heavenly grace is mighty dàngdàng"

Follow along, too.

After kowtowing, he got up cautiously and invited the man to sit down in the dyeing house.

The man seemed to have an impatient look on his face, "Okay, that's it, you have to be conscientious, don't live up to the love of your mother."

"Yes," Zheng promised the shopkeeper.

After thinking about it, Mei Xiaotong said, "This adult, the folk girl really doesn't know how to thank the mother for her kindness, fortunately, the folk girl has dyed two fresh tricks these days, and asked the adult to give her palm eyes, and I don't know if the mother will like it."

The man was originally interested, but when he heard Mei Xiaotong say this, he became interested, "Oh, what tricks, show them to our family." ”

Mei Xiaotong carefully placed the tray respectfully on the table next to her before she spoke, "The package of the people's girl"

"Someone, bring me what she brought." The man commanded.

Someone immediately agreed, and after a while, the man who had just brought her in took the package in, and the package skin had been opened, thinking that it had been checked.

Mei Xiaotong took the package, put it on the table, took out a horse, and motioned to Shopkeeper Zheng, "Shopkeeper Zheng, please do me a favor." ”

Shopkeeper Zheng stepped forward, and the two slowly unfolded the cloth, and a picture of white plums under the moonlight was presented in front of the man.

The man began to crook carelessly,

When the cloth was unfolded, he restrained his expression, and his sitting posture was correct, and after a while, he simply stood up and walked in front of the cloth, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"And what else?"

Mei Xiaotong carefully folded the cloth, and unfolded the magnolia flower, the dark blue background, like the night, a sinuous magnolia flower, quietly blooming in the night.

After seeing the two pieces of fabric, the man was very satisfied.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a horse in the package, "What's that?"

"That's the crimson material newly dyed by the folk girl." As she spoke, Mei Xiaotong opened the package, revealing a touch of crimson.

The man's eyes suddenly became hot, and he jumped over with a step, "This is"

"Crimson"

"This color is good, this color is good, how much material is there," the man excited.

Mei Xiaotong silently took a step back, "This is a folk girl who has only experimented and dyed, just such a horse"

"One horse is so unique" The man was a little unhappy at first, but he immediately became happy.

Looking at Mei Xiaotong's attitude, it was much better, "Yes, yes, these three pieces of cloth, our family is very satisfied, and I want to come to the mother will be satisfied."

Mei Xiaotong smiled slightly, "As long as you can satisfy your mother."

The man seemed to be very satisfied with Mei Xiaotong's acquaintance and intelligence, "It seems that he is a smart person, and he has not wasted his mother's heart." ”

Motioned for the person to put away the three pieces of fabric, and nodded at Mei Xiaotong, "Spend more time in the future, as long as the mother is satisfied, I won't treat you badly."

With that, he walked straight out the door and "set off"

The big man outside the door made a promise, wrapped around the man, and swept out like a gust of wind.

When Mei Xiaotong and Shopkeeper Zheng went out, they only saw the group of people, who had already run away on horses, leaving only a puff of green smoke.

Shopkeeper Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat in the lobby, and poured two sips of herbal tea very unimaged.

Then he gave Mei Xiaotong a thumbs up, "Big niece, you have courage and blessing."

Mei Xiaotong was about to say something, when she heard the "little sister" outside

Looking back, Mei Changgui and An Huahao were sweating profusely, and they were in a hurry at first glance, and they were relieved after seeing her.

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly poured two large bowls of tea for the two.

Mei Changgui grunted and drank, and then said, "I'm scared to death, nothing happened."

Mei Xiaotong looked at Shopkeeper Zheng.

Shopkeeper Zheng smiled, "Something big happened, a good thing"

As he spoke, he sent the people into the dyeing house.

An Huahao hesitated, looked at Mei Xiaotong, and still followed.

How good the shopkeeper Zheng is, he only turned his eyes between the two, and then led the way with a smile.
