Mei Xiang has been secretly looking at Bai since she entered this room, although she has not seen her for ten years, Bai is still as young and beautiful as she remembers, and her face always has a lingering sorrow, that kind of sorrow is very light, like a thin mist shrouded in her delicate face, and people can't take their eyes off it.

The women in the Prime Minister's Mansion are almost all beautiful, even Mrs. Dou, who is already old and decrepit, can search for her youthful demeanor from her face that is no longer young, not to mention the aunts in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But Mei Xiang still thinks that the Bai family is more beautiful than these people, and it is easier for people to fall in love with it.

Even if she is a woman, she wants to brush away the sorrow from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, let alone a man?

So such a woman is the legendary red face and troubled water, right? destined to bring disaster or shame to her home and country, despite her own innocence.

"Mei Xiang, you take the second master to look for butterflies on the old plum tree over there!" Xiao Liuli smiled slightly, and instructed Mei Xiang: "When we came here just now, weren't there many butterflies on the plum tree?" ”

This is obviously a lie, but Xiao Zhongze believes it, Yingying loves to see butterflies the most, she often stares at a butterfly for a long time, until it flies over the wall and refuses to retract its gaze.

Although Mei Xiang knew that what Miss said was a lie, she understood the true meaning, which showed that Miss wanted her to take the second master away, so she should have something to talk about with the Bai family alone.

"Let's go, let's go, come with me to find butterflies!" Xiao Zhongze hurriedly said, for fear that if he went a little late, those beautiful butterflies would fly away.

Mei Xiang followed Xiao Zhongze to the courtyard, and when she saw that there were no butterflies on the old plum tree, Xiao Zhongze was in a hurry and wanted to run back to find the Bai family.

Of course, Mei Xiang couldn't let him go back so soon, so she quickly stopped him and said like a child: "Second master, I just saw a butterfly flying over there, but it's beautiful, let's go over there and find it!" You'll find it. ”

Xiao Zhongze didn't doubt him, and hurriedly pulled Mei Xiang in that direction.

The direction that Mei Xiang points to is the back garden of the Prime Minister's House, and you should be able to find butterflies here for a long time!

After Xiao Zhongze and Mei Xiang came out, the Bai family also sent out their personal maids, and only she and Xiao Liuli were left in the room.

Bai's background is not noble, but she is a smart woman, although she chooses to live a simple life.

Trapped in the huge quagmire of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had already been polluted, though not voluntarily.

"Auntie seems to have always loved butterflies?" The expression on Xiao Liuli's face was still as respectful and polite as before, but the words he said always seemed to mean something: "It's a pity that the life of a butterfly is too thin, born in spring and died in autumn, even if it is born beautifully, it can't even stand a drop of heavy dew, let alone the severe frost and cold wind." Such a swaggering and frivolous thing is destined to only be played with by others, and it cannot be elegant. ”

Xiao Zhongze was looking for butterflies in the back garden, he squatted on the ground, his chubby body was a little struggling. But he still looked very carefully at every fallen leaf under the magnolia tree, because Mei Xiang told him that a particularly beautiful butterfly had just burrowed into the fallen leaves.

Mei Xiang, who was accompanying her, helplessly put her frozen hands to her lips and took a few breaths of heat. Today is the winter solstice, and I really froze to death.

Miss is really, what is there to talk about with the second lady? She should also know the rumors about the eldest young master, right? Madame actually didn't want Miss to have anything to do with the Bai family, although she didn't say it, everyone knew that her dislike for the Bai family was deeper than that of everyone, including Xiao Xu.

The young lady is such a smart person, how could she not understand the mind of the lady?

Mei Xiang has always felt that she often can't understand what Miss is thinking, and many times she is obviously a person she hates, but she still greets her with a smile.

can hold down the other party's head, but always chooses to back down. Mademoiselle shouldn't have been so cowardly, but why would she do it?

Mei Xiang felt a little pain in her head, so she shook her head and decided not to think about it anymore. She just kept stomping her feet and holding her hands so that her body could warm up a little.

"Haha, I've got you!" Xiao Zhongze shouted excitedly, startling Mei Xiang.

He actually found a butterfly corpse larger than a hand plate under the fallen leaves, and in the middle of the dead leaves, the brilliant colors of blue and purple were still preserved on the wings, as if life had never left.

Xiao Zhongze carefully protected the butterfly corpse in the middle of his palm, and his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of scaring the butterfly in his hand and flew away: "If I give this to Yingying, she must be very happy and will laugh at me." ”

Xiao Zhongze is a fool, but fools also have their own likes and dislikes, what he loves most is Bai's smile, but she laughs too little.

He found the butterfly, as if he had found a rare treasure, held it to his chest, and walked cautiously forward.

Mei Xiang felt that if she walked back at the speed of the second master, the young lady and the second lady must have finished talking.

Sure enough, when I walked back to the idle courtyard, the courtyard was quiet, and there was no servant. Mei Xiang thought that these people were all in the house, so she walked to the main room with Xiao Zhongze.

Now that the weather is cold, thick cotton curtains hang on every door, and the window paper is very tightly sealed. The two of them walked very carefully, so when they got to the door, the people in the house didn't realize that someone was coming from outside.

Mei Xiang walked to the door and only heard Xiao Liuli say: "For so many years, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been too dirty, it's time to clean it up." ”

Mei Xiang felt strange when she heard it, the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been clean and tidy, where is it dirty? I don't know why Miss said that.

But at this time, Xiao Zhongze had already walked in with his head against the door curtain, because he was holding the butterfly in both hands and couldn't lift the curtain.

Mei Xiang hurriedly stretched out her hand and held the curtain for him.

Xiao Zhongze said to Bai with a happy face: "Yingying, look, I found such a beautiful butterfly for you!" ”

Bai Shi looked at Xiao Zhongze's frozen red hands, holding a colorful butterfly corpse, and a smile appeared on his perennial sad face.

That smile was so poignant, fleeting, really like a beautiful butterfly passing away in the autumn wind.

"Auntie, we've been here for a long time, but it's time to leave," Xiao Liuli got up politely and said to the Bai family: "Please take care of your aunt, but don't let people say that Liuli is here to disturb your life today." ”

"Don't worry, Miss, I won't let people gossip about you." Bai sat firmly on the chair, and when he said this, he actually had a promising tone.
