Despite Shu Shi'an's stopping, Shu Mei still decided to go to Dong's mansion. Even if the matter of military salaries is resolved, the letter that Ling Li's brother asked her to send should always be delivered to Dong Yuejiao to fulfill her promise. It's just that this time she followed Grandpa's advice and changed back into women's clothes.

The house of the Dong family is in the back alley of Persimmon Lane, backed by the mountain behind the Fuhu Temple, the house is built according to the mountain, the scenery is deep, it is the best place in the environment of the official residence in the west of the city. Although it is winter, the holly and privet in the house remain verdant. Shu Mei looked around, such an environment is the most suitable for raising small pets such as grasshoppers.

"Lord Shu, watch your step." The maid who led the way reminded at the front of the steps.

"Our Shu family has always been a family of poetry and books, you should pay attention to etiquette when you go to the Dong family, don't let people think that my wife is sick, so my children and grandchildren have no rules." Thinking of Grandma's advice before going out, Shu Mei, who was following the maid, couldn't help but restrain her steps, straightened her waist, pursed the corners of her lips, and made a cautious demeanor like a boudoir lady.

The maid led Shu Mei around the verandah and entered a room on the west side of the backyard.

"Madam, the county lord of Shu has arrived."

The maid opened the curtain and reported inward, Shu Mei stood at the door and waited, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the curtain and pounced on Shu Mei. Shu Mei subconsciously raised his arm in a gear, and the black shadow fell in front of him with a "bang". When she looked closely, it was a resting cat with a pure black body and a glossy coat.

Shu Mei raised his arm again to see, and the sleeve of the narrow-sleeved shirt he had just changed into when he went out was hung up by the cat's paws. This set of clothes is not cheap, it is still the reward she received when she accompanied her grandmother to the palace to meet Queen Zhao last time, if she hadn't kept it to support the façade when she went out, she would have exchanged it for money. It's a pity that I was trampled by this black cat.

"Ahh A woman in a hibiscus cloud brocade jacket hurriedly chased out, she picked up the black cat on the ground, and patted its back again and again with her hand, that cautious appearance, as if holding a baby who fell while walking.

"You're Sister Dong, right?" remembered the last time I heard Mingcui talk about Dong Yuejiao's waiting for the cat to give birth in the Qiu Di Pavilion, and a smile appeared on Shu Mei's face.

Dong Yuejiao didn't seem to hear it, and only buried her head in teasing the black cat in her arms. The black cat's pair of amber eyes looked at Shu Mei, and called "meow", as if complaining.

"Sister Dong, your cat is one and a half years old, right?" Shu Mei asked again.

"You have a cat too?" Dong Yuejiao raised her head, and said without waiting for Shu Mei to answer: "You are Shu Xiang's granddaughter?" ”

"Shu Mei has seen the Dong family's sister." Shu Mei nodded and said hello.

"Come in and sit." Dong Yuejiao hugged the black cat and didn't return the salute, and walked straight towards the house.

Shu Mei was stunned for a moment, and only after the maid who lifted the curtain reminded her to walk in. Grandma told herself to observe etiquette, but Dong Yuejiao, who was also born in a scholarly family, did not necessarily abide by etiquette. It can be seen that etiquette is a virtual thing to be seen by others. Shu Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

After Shu Mei entered the room, he saw that Dong Yuejiao had sat down at the sandalwood round table in the room, so he also stepped forward and sat down.

"What kind of cat do you have?" Dong Yuejiao instructed the maid to pour tea for Shu Mei before she asked again.

"I, I haven't raised it." Shu Mei looked around and saw the threads, lupine fans, and brocade mats all over the house, and the dried fish, sesame seeds, and beans on the shelves, and understood that this room was the cat's room.

"Then how do you tell that my Moyu is one and a half years old?" Dong Yuejiao asked while giving Mo Yu a smooth hair.

"In June last year, I stayed overnight at the Autumn Pavilion, and when I heard Sister Mingcui say that Sister Dong's cat pet was born, I wondered if it would be the ...... that was born."

"Sister Mingcui?" Dong Yuejiao sneered, "It's just a girl, you call her sister, and you're not afraid of losing her life." ”

Shu Mei was a little embarrassed. She usually calls her sister older than her, but she didn't expect to make Dong Yuejiao unhappy.

Fortunately, Dong Yuejiao said that it was over, and she picked up the previous words and continued, "This Moyu was born at that time." It's scary to say, my cloud tuaner gave birth to a total of three kittens, but I hate that I left for a few days, the people in the house didn't take care of it, the cloud tuaner is gone, not to mention, the kitten only survived this one......"

Dong Yuejiao said the origin of Moyu, and suddenly asked as if she remembered: "Why did you go to the Qiu Di Pavilion to spend the night?" ”

"That time, Brother Ling Li took me back from Anyuan, because I was going to the court to face the saint in the morning, I was afraid that I would miss the time, so I let me live in the Qiudi Pavilion. If it weren't for Sister Dong coming back to take care of Moyu, we would have met that time......"

"Oh, I remembered, you were the 'Lord of Hejing' who was given the title by the emperor that time, right?"

Shu Mei nodded.

The Mo Yu in her arms kept wanting to pounce on Shu Mei, but Dong Yuejiao was a little impatient after soothing and appeasing, "What are you looking for me today?" ”

"Well, I went to Anyuan a few days ago to worship my parents, and Brother Ling Li asked me to bring my sister a letter back from the family." Shu Mei hurriedly took out the bamboo tube and jade wrench and handed it to Dong Yuejiao.

"Third Highness...... Ask you to bring me a letter?! Dong Yuejiao's face was surprised, and if she didn't pay attention to it, Moyu jumped up, jumped on the sandalwood table, stepped into the teacup, thought that her feet were scalded by hot water, and jumped away in a hurry, knocking over the teapot on the table, the teapot swirled, and fell to the ground with a "pop", and for a while the jade pot was broken, and the tea soup flowed, Dong Yuejiao and the maids in the room all exclaimed again and again.

The cat that crashed into the accident did not stop, and actually threw itself directly into Shu Mei's arms. If it weren't for Shu Mei's quick reaction and clenching his fist, he was afraid that the jade wrench in his hand would also be shattered. The cat got into Shu Mei's arms, grabbed the lacquered bamboo tube with its two paws, and licked it with its tongue.

"Ah, madam, you see, Mo Yuyuan knew that this was a letter from His Royal Highness, so he kept throwing himself into the arms of the Lord of Shu County......" a maid said in surprise.

"I knew I didn't hurt Moyu in vain, it was really spiritual!" Dong Yuejiao, who was wet with tea, pushed away the hand of the maid who was going to wipe her, and walked to Shumei's side with a surprised face, "My good girl, come to my mother's place......"

Dong Yuejiao hugged Moyu from Shu Mei's arms, and the cat only held the bamboo tube and licked it up and down, and no longer looked at Shu Mei.

Shu Mei pressed his fingers close to the bottom of his nose, and a faint mint smell floated through his fingertips. She remembered that she had put this bamboo tube in a bamboo basket filled with dried mint when she was bathing and changing clothes, but this cat liked the mint smell the most. Seeing that Dong Yuejiao couldn't help but be overjoyed, she couldn't tell it, just looked at her with a smile. Dong Yuejiao was originally born round and jade, and when she laughed, her apricot eyes were shining brightly, which was very good-looking.

Shu Mei looked at it for a while, and Dong Yuejiao's master and servant only surrounded Mo Yu and teased, but they didn't mean to open the letter at all. She sent this letter day and night!
