Mei Chengan is always like this, chatting and chatting, such an incomprehensible sentence suddenly pops up.

"Don't have to pull it too tightly"? Is she what he is referring to?

Xiao Ling'er remembered that she had heard Sister Shishi say before that Mei Cheng'an was very thoughtful, and he did things like those masters playing chess, and he could think of several steps behind him with one move.

This time, it can be seen that she is indeed cautious and a little too smart.

Xiao Ling'er really didn't know if Mei Cheng'an's game of chess had also counted her. He just continued to let her stay outside the Mei family and do business with the Mei family as an outsider, what was the idea?

After a while, Xiao Ling'er's heart was really like a hundred turns, but looking at the look on Mei Chengan's face that was calm and light, and he didn't move, he was finally deflated.

She admitted that it was indeed not a simple matter to find out what was in his heart from Mei Chengan.

But, okay, okay, anyway, it's nice to keep her going like she is. As long as she is not in Mei's house, she has enough time to do her own thing, and now she doesn't have to hide from Mei Chengan left and right, which is a good result. As for what Mei Chengan wants to do in the future, he will plan it when the time comes.

Thinking like this, Xiao Ling'er shrugged her shoulders and finally retracted her gaze, "Okay, thanks to Young Master Mei's care, my medicine business can be more satisfying." ”

"You're welcome." Mei Chengan raised his eyes, "But you must also remember that your identity should not be known to the rest of the Mei family, even if it is a person from Baicaotang, the Mei family is not as peaceful as you imagined, even if it is just the identity of a concubine, maybe let someone know it, and you will have a little more eyes to stare at." ”

Xiao Ling'er understood this sentence, and Sister Shishi also mentioned some things about the Mei family to her, and the person who was staring at her thought was Mei Yongxin, the second young master of the Mei family.

But no matter how you say this, it has nothing to do with her, Xiao Ling'er naturally won't ask more, just nodded, "I know, don't worry." ”

As she spoke, she tilted her head towards Mei Cheng'an again, "But then again, why did you come to the village today?" I was a little strange when you first appeared, I thought I didn't move for so long after you knew my identity, but the New Year actually came, but something? ”

"Nothing else but a place to find a clean place." Mei Cheng'an looked at Xiao Ling'er's shimmering eyes, softened his expression, withdrew his gaze but didn't look at her, just looked ahead, "Today's events are indeed a coincidence, some distance from Anding Village, so I looked at the starry sky you made, and I got closer with a little curiosity." ”

"How do you know I did it?" This man really, as if he knew everything.

Mei Chengan pursed the corners of his lips, "Not to mention Anding Village, or even Tang County, there are almost no people who are ready to celebrate the New Year with stars." And the starry sky looks similar to the one sold, but in fact, it is not the same, it should not be bought directly but artificially modified. Thinking about it this way, you are also clever and clever in this stable village, and it is your idea that you can't escape. ”

"I see." Xiao Ling'er scratched her nose, "It's worthy of Young Master Mei, others may think that thing is beautiful when they see it, but it's only like you have seven, eight or nine turns in your head, so you have to explore everything." ”

Seven, eight, nine bends? Mei Chengan was amused by Xiao Ling'er's words again, and the corners of her lips hooked up, this little girl always spoke a little more interestingly, "But it's true, you do a good job." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Xiao Ling'er also laughed, and her voice rose, "Then according to what I said, I should have saved myself in this matter today, if it wasn't for the stars that brought you over, it wouldn't be so easy to get through this difficulty." ”

"You'll take the credit."

"That's it." Xiao Ling'er stuck out her tongue, "Oops, but no matter what, thank you for today's incident, I have written down this kindness." ”

"I'm afraid it's not enough to just write it down, but if you have a kindness, you should always return the favor."

"Huh?" Xiao Ling'er snorted, her words were somewhat polite, but she didn't expect Mei Chengan to actually talk about the matter, and sure enough, revenge will be avenged. "Okay, how do you say you're going to pay it back?"

Mei Chengan finally turned his eyes sideways to look at her, and his lips opened lightly, "Send me something, and it's okay." ”

"Something?" Xiao Ling'er tilted her head and looked herself up and down, "Uh...... But I don't know what to give for a while? Or you say, what do you want? ”

Mei Chengan didn't think about it, "I think the dagger on your waist is good, last time I was in the cave, you should have used it to cut my clothes and bandage me, which is considered convenient." I'm also short of something handy, so why don't I just give it away? ”

"It?" Xiao Ling'er protected the dagger and immediately shook her head, she really didn't expect that Mei Chengan would actually take a fancy to this little gadget, "No, no, no, this is a gift from a friend of mine, how can this friend give it to others by borrowing flowers and offering Buddhas, otherwise, you can change it?" ”

"What if I think it's the best fit?"

"That's not going to work." At this point, Xiao Ling'er is still very persistent, this is the dagger that Brother Zhou made for her personally, and it took him a lot of thought. If you know that she gave it to someone else, it will be unpleasant. What's more, she has used this dagger for a long time, and it is very easy to use it when she goes up the mountain to collect medicines and the like, and Xiao Ling'er likes it very much. "Mei Cheng'an, this is an ordinary dagger, it is not a precious thing, where can it compare to your Mei family's things. Besides, after all, it was sent by a friend, even if it is given out, it will not be good for you and him, otherwise, I will give you something else. ”

"That's it."

Mei Cheng'an looked relieved, listening to Xiao Ling'er's words, and finally didn't insist anymore, "It's okay to send a sample, don't be in a hurry today, when you want to send me something, go to Baicaotang to find me, but if it can't compare to the kindness of this dagger to you, I also have a reason to refuse." ”

"Uh...... All right. Xiao Ling'er nodded, although she really didn't know what to give, but fortunately, she still had a while to think about it, so she agreed.

Mei Cheng'an let Xiao Ling'er go, "Okay, it's too late, let's send you back." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Ling'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, being with Mei Chengan was really like fighting a battle, and she had to fight with her spirit at any time.

On the way home, both of them were silent for a long time and didn't talk much. Mei Chengan only sent her to the gate of the village, "Then I'm in?" ”

"yes, okay." Mei Chengan nodded and wrapped his cloak tightly.

"Go back quickly, it's windy and cold at night, don't get cold again." Xiao Ling'er said, and touched her head, feeling that the more she listened to this polite sentence, the more she felt weird, as if she was really talking to this couple.

She hurriedly shook her head to herself, turned around and wanted to enter the village.

"Ling'er." Mei Chengan stopped her again.

"Huh?" Xiao Ling'er turned around, this was the first time Mei Cheng'an called her name, Mei Cheng'an's voice was as deep as an ancient well, and it sounded pretty good, "What's wrong?" ”

"If you need help with anything, you can also come to Baicaotang, not everything can be done, but if you can, maybe you can also help, which can be regarded as an apology for your forced marriage."

"Okay." Xiao Ling'er raised her eyebrows, Mei Chengan is like this, and she has to add that she doesn't do everything to help, "Although there shouldn't be anything you need help with, thank you for your kindness." ”

As she spoke, she waved her hand to Mei Cheng'an before walking in the direction of the village.

Even if there is a showdown with Mei Chengan now, it is better to have less to do with the Mei family. It's just that she didn't expect that the words she had just made would be overturned within a few days.

……

The first year of her coming to the Southern Dynasty, although there were twists and turns, she finally passed in peace. On the first day of the new year, everyone seemed to have forgotten what happened last night, and they were still smiling, but maybe it was because of some guilt in their hearts, there were a few more people in Xiao Ling'er's yard to pay New Year's greetings.

Even the village chief came in person, and sure enough, the prestige of the Mei family was still very effective. The mother-in-law greeted him a few times and sent him away, and then the family sat down at the table.

Changsheng snorted, "The village chief is quite reasonable, how can he be like some people, who talked nonsense indiscriminately last night, knowing that he wronged his sister, and seeing that the young master of the Mei family came for his sister, he can't wait to come over today." ”

"Okay, you, you're always so no-brainer." The mother-in-law patted his head, "Everyone wants to see the excitement, and it is human nature to say a few more words, and after knowing the facts, don't you sincerely apologize." Everyone is from the village, and it is not necessary to take a step back on weekdays. ”

"Okay." Changsheng actually talked about it, but he still listened to his mother-in-law's words, and immediately bowed his head obediently and agreed.

"Don't talk about this, come on, eat." Granny Su brought the last dish to the table again, although today was not as lively as yesterday, Mu Shishi and Zhou Shen's family went back, but the four of them were still very warm sitting together.

The mother-in-law glanced at the three juniors, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Don't say it, this time is really too fast, sometimes think about it, when Ling Er first arrived in the village, it seemed that it was a few days ago, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye." ”

"yes." Xiao Ling'er also felt the same way, "Look at Changsheng, I don't think it is normal to look at it, this look, I have lost a lot of size, and I am really fast." ”

"My sister is too." Xiaoqin swallowed a mouthful of food and raised her head, "My sister is a lot taller than when she left home, and she has grown a lot more beautiful, but I haven't grown much yet." ”
