The restaurant's sashimi is so fresh that you can taste it, and it's made with the finest bluefin tuna; The sauce used to go with it is not wasabi, but freshly ground wasabi. The tableware is made of delicate Imari ware, the tea cup is made of Tenmu glaze from Seto, and when the waiter takes the empty plate and brings it to the fried food, Mr. Shiraku is very sharp-eyed to see a geisha dressed in Shimada bun walking into the next room with a shamisen in his arms, and then there is a faint nasal singing of the traditional neon minor tune on the other side of the washi paper sash.

Such a stylish restaurant, even if you don't invite geisha to play and sing, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. And this Mr. Mei Si is not like the kind of older "petty bourgeoisie" young woman who tightens her belt and saves half a year's money to come out and rub it, and the main purpose is to take pictures and post them to Moments, she looks calm and relaxed, as if she often goes to various high-end restaurants. Looking at it this way, the living standard of his future Yue family is actually not very low.

How did Teacher Mei get into this search???

Mr. Bai's heart was simply distressed, while sighing that Mr. Mei was really self-reliant and refused to spend the family's money, and on the other hand, he felt that his cousins and cousins didn't know how to care about the living standards of his little cousin, and even looked at Mei Qingshang with a faint reproach.

In fact, Mei Qingshang's gaze at Bai Qi became more and more unhappy.

After the appetizer and sashimi, there is charcoal-grilled saury. Bai Qi very thoughtfully helped Mei shave the fish bones on Chinese New Year's Eve, divide the grilled fish into delicious pieces, and sandwich them into clean small plates; And Mei Chinese New Year's Eve is very well-behaved to accept the feeding, and it seems that she is very used to being taken care of like this.

On the other side of the table, Mei Qingshang pinched his chopsticks, only to feel that the qi and blood in his chest were boiling again.

She remembered that Xiaoxi was very easy to take when she was a child, and when she was three and a half years old, she was able to eat by herself with chopsticks, and she didn't lose a single grain of rice.

So who is this child who can't take care of himself now?

After eating saury, seafood tempura, and chawanshi egg custard, the lobby sister endured it almost enough. She can see that her little cousin is really completely arched by a large amount of wild snakes, and there are small pink bubbles around her for a meal, and she can communicate with each other at a negative distance with just one foot at the door, and she doesn't even need the transition period from friends to lovers.

Although Mei Qingshang is really not optimistic about the snake demon species, especially Bai Qi's profession - the sheep market has never been a serious business, and it is full of contraband and tooth business. The head of the sheep market is equivalent to the existence of the leaders of the green and red gangs in the old society: enclosing a piece of land, raising a group of private soldiers who take care of the home and nursing home, soliciting some miscellaneous transactions, and then collecting stall fees, intermediary fees and protection fees from them. It stands to reason that the descendants of the Mei family should not be mixed with this kind of black market businessman, but when she personally felt that a certain wild snake was really taking care of Xiao Xi like her own son, Mei Qingshang didn't dare to try to beat the mandarin duck - because she couldn't guarantee that Xiao Xi's girlfriend or boyfriend in the future could be as good to him as Bai Huishou.

But this does not mean that she does not dislike this wild snake, nor does it mean that she will give up the problem of finding the leader of the white meeting.

Mei Qingshang put down his spoon and whispered to the waiter who came to remove the tableware, and please delay the next vinegared dish for twenty minutes before serving. After the waiter left, he sat down and said, "Now you can tell me what happened during the New Year, right?" ”

The dishes in this restaurant are very fresh and sweet, coupled with Mr. Bai's gentle feeding, Mei Chinese New Year's Eve unconsciously relaxed from the tension of "talking to my cousin", and her sitting posture was a lot more casual, her center of gravity was slightly sideways to Bai Qi, and her head was also tilted. At this time, when I heard my cousin speak, "like a child who can't take care of himself" instantly coaxed, nervously moved his body, his two hands were overlapped like elementary school students, and his fingers unconsciously began to twist and turn.

Noticing Teacher Mei's small movements, and then looking closely at Teacher Mei's red knuckles because of too much force, Bai Qi became more and more distressed, but he couldn't pull those two hands and kiss and rub them, so he had to stare at Mei Qingshang anxiously.

Then Mr. Mei Si glared back.

And her eyes are full of standard evil mother-in-law warnings such as "Our family's family affairs are not your turn to be a foreign snake with many mouths", "When will you marry in, let's talk about it".

Bai Qi was so angry that her liver trembled, and she didn't dare to openly offend her future aunt on the bright side, so she could only swallow this breath for the time being.

"Actually...... To be sure, it didn't happen during the Chinese New Year, but in November last year...... "Mei Chinese New Year's Eve cautiously confessed, while looking at Mei Qingshang's expression, pursing his lips, and revealing the coercion from the heart in his gray rabbit-like eyes.

"Say." Mei Qingshang picked up the wine cup as if nothing had happened, and gently shook the plum wine in the cup, as if the golden and clear liquid was more interesting to her than her little cousin's confession.

This sawed gourd, don't you know if you have something to discuss with your family??? He looks like an orphan! Tut!

"Things started after the Winter Clothes Festival...... "Mei Chinese New Year's Eve is not afraid of other people's fierce scolding, nor is he afraid of other people's aggressive threats, but since he was a child, what he feared most was his cousin's careless appearance, in a sense, his fear came from his herbivore-like intuition, the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm in order to survive.

Even if he couldn't understand why some people laughed when they were angry, that didn't prevent him from judging that some smiles were more terrible than superficial anger; And under the abnormal calm, there is often a deadly danger.

For example, his lobby sister.

Out of fear of further angering his cousin, Mei confessed to the things he had hidden from his family on Chinese New Year's Eve. In fact, he knew that even if his cousin was really angry, he would not clean him up like he did when he cleaned up his sixth cousin - what Mei was afraid of on Chinese New Year's Eve was not what sanctions or punishments his cousin would impose on him after he got angry, but the matter of "making his cousin angry" itself.

Here, Mr. Mei confessed uneasily, and when he mentioned his "first encounter" with Mr. Bai, he inadvertently smiled as if he was nostalgic; Director Bai on the other end immediately felt a cold and sharp gaze like a knife blade...... The head of the meeting took a head from Mei Qingshang's eye knife, and said in his heart, whether it is the old demon or the eldest aunt, why don't you trust my IQ, this kind of "hero saving beauty" with endless hidden dangers is really a drama that only a sand sculpture can plan and direct!

However, before Director Bai could prove that his IQ was indeed within the normal high level, Teacher Mei first analyzed the psychological activities at that time to the lobby sister: "Actually, I also thought about it at the time, what should I do if Mr. Bai is a demon and comes to deceive me." But then I thought about it again, I didn't open my eyes, I couldn't learn magic arts, I didn't practice martial arts, if it was to eat me, I deliberately became a person to deceive me, and I was so good to me, it would be too cost-effective. ”

Rao is face was as calm as Mei Qingshang, and he couldn't help but gasp, and roared silently and surgingly in his heart: My stupid brother, open your eyes and take a look! This wild snake just wants to eat you! Aren't you learning Chinese, you should know, it's not just the kind of eating bones and blood that is called "eating" and falling!!

Mr. Bai was moved and guilty, touched that Mr. Mei believed in himself so much, and guilty that he still misled him; Faced with the future aunt's more and more poking eyes, Bai Qi at this time not only felt embarrassed, but had a relief that could atone for his sins.

In the confession, a large amount of dog food was interjected that the parties were not aware of, and Mei Chinese New Year's Eve finally finished the manuscript she had memorized within fifteen minutes, and also expressed her heartfelt thanks to Mr. Bai in a narrative manner. He could sense that the lobby sister seemed to be very dissatisfied with Mr. Bai, but as long as he could let his cousin know that Mr. Bai was indeed very good to him, then she would not embarrass Mr. Bai.

There were less than five minutes left before the next vinegar-pickled lotus, and Mei Qingshang didn't want to waste time complaining about his little cousin who elbowed to the sky. She carefully brushed it and directly reviewed it to Bai Qi: "So, those people want the treasure that the soul master gave to the ancestor of the Mei family, so they want to pick Xiaoxi to start?" ”

"Yes." Bai Qi nodded solemnly.

"If that's the case, there really is such an object in the old mansion." Mei Qingshang began to shake the wine in the porcelain cup again, and quietly gave Bai Qi a look, "According to the genealogical records, the first ancestor Zhongmin Gong and Mrs. Zhao both had a very close personal relationship with this Mr. Shengyuan, and Mr. Shengyuan once found the relics of her elders for Mrs. Zhao because of the entrustment of Zhongmin Gong - that object is still there, and it is in the hands of the old man when it is put together with the family tree and the law book." ”

However, there seems to be no other way than to keep it more tightly guarded.

Although the vinegar salad, rice, miso soup and Japanese sweets in the back are still light and delicious, the three of them are a little unsavory. Bai Qi sent Mei back to the car on Chinese New Year's Eve, forgot to take out the mobile phone under the pretext that it was left in the restaurant, banned the car with the door closed, and turned back to the restaurant.

And Mr. Mei Si was still sitting in the cubicle where the three of them were dining before, she leaned on the paper partition casually, lit a cigarette, didn't smoke it, and put it between her fingers. Hearing Bai Qi's footsteps turning back, he didn't get up, but just idly reported an address: "Urban Village, Fucheng District, No. 9, Lane 7." ”

"Didn't Mr. Mei send you to visit Mr. Yu?" Bai Qi was a little surprised.

"It's not. When I went, there was only a girl in the house holding a doll and told me that the adults were not at home...... That girl is lifeless, and people talk very slippery, and I'm afraid that she is not younger than you. She glanced at her future brother-in-law meaningfully, "The old man has something to hide from me, I have to find out who is pretending to be a ghost, but you can't let Xiaoxi know about this for the time being." He's a man...... The water is so muddy and he's a good boy. ”

"Okay, the matter of No. 9 Lane 7, Bai will verify it, and I promise not to let Teacher Mei know until you say that Teacher Mei can know." Director Bai also knew that things were not simple, so he accepted it in one bite. The entrustment of the eldest sister

"Okay, for now." Mei Qingshang took a deep breath with a cigarette in his mouth, spit out a long smoke ring, and watched Bai Qi take his mobile phone and walk out, as if he remembered something, he added, "Our little fool is simple and cute, and he is very easy to deceive." If anyone dares to bully him, don't say that you are the one, even if the king of heaven is here, he has to take off the skin to finish, you know? ”

Bai Qi stopped and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I understand." ”

"That's good." Mr. Mei Si extinguished his cigarette and looked uncertain, "My brother will ask you, Mr. Bai." ”
