Chapter 12: An Unexpected Surprise

After burning a pot of incense, the cicada brewed another pot of tea.

After doing all this, she sat on the chaise longue in the courtyard, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the room, and closed her eyes slightly with a relaxed expression, thinking about if there was anything missing, and in a while, the courtyard would be lively.

Wenxianglou is closed for business today, and the cicadas got up early in the morning and went to the flower market to buy hundreds of pots of flowers, and put them on various tables, windowsills and other places in the room of Wenxianglou.

It's like this every year, because today is Mei Xiaoyu's birthday, and after she took charge of Wenxianglou, she set such a rule - all the girls in Wenxianglou rest on this day.

The red light district is basically open all year round, and every day it closes is a variety of expenses.

Tomorrow is the Wanhua Festival, a traditional festival in Yong'an City, a festival for family and friends to gather and reunite, and the city hall stipulates that except for the red light districts on both sides of the Cailian River, all other places will be closed for one day.

After the Wanhua Festival, Meixiaoyu does not require everyone to come to work, so that the girls in each room of Wenxianglou can take three days off in a row.

This is a paid vacation, and if you want to rest at other times, unless you ask for leave, you will have to wait until the end of the year.

Every year on this day, Cicada Er buys all kinds of flowers, and Xi'er takes the other girls to clean the upstairs and downstairs before dispersing.

The girls will come to Wenxianglou at six o'clock in the evening to eat, and the dinner time is not long, Mei Xiaoyu will make some summaries and encouragement, as well as give everyone a holiday red envelope, ten gold coins per person, and the girls in the building are not allowed to buy gifts for her birthday, except for Chu Huan and Cicada and Xi'er.

Back then, Mei Xiaoyu brought the three out of the orphanage, eating and drinking, and until they grew up now, the relationship between the three of them and her was the closest.

At the dinner party in previous years, the cicadas would dance, Xi'er stroked the qin, and Chu Huan would show his face and leave.

Because the night here is so lively, nearly 100 young and beautiful girls sing and dance, one is to celebrate birthdays, the other is to go out for a few days, and the third is to have money to get, everyone is very happy.

There was only one man in Chu Huan at night, and these women didn't treat him as an outsider...... I didn't even think of him as a man, and I could make any jokes.

So he usually showed up and Chu Huan hurriedly found a reason to leave, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to control it - it was good to get the moon near the water, but he felt that it was better not to eat the grass next to the nest, and he was afraid that Sister Mei would beat him to death.

The bodyguard cicada of Wenxianglou's nursing home has sent red envelopes, allowing them to move freely, they don't have to come over at night, and they will go to work two days later - this is also the rule of Meixiaoyu, the bodyguards are not allowed to fall in love with the girls in the building, so they are not allowed to have too much contact with the inner courtyard.

Cicada rested on the recliner for a while, looked at the time, there was another hour to six o'clock, the sisters should also arrive one after another, she took out the phone, and once again confirmed the delivery time for the restaurant, six o'clock must be delivered here.

There were twelve eight-person tables rented from the tableware market in the courtyard, and the cicadas began to arrange the tableware and drinks, at this time, Mei Xiaoyu came out of the room and looked at the cicadas below from upstairs: "What about Chu Huan, haven't you come yet?" ”

"No, I went out early this morning." Cicada said and looked up at Sister Mei upstairs: "I didn't answer his call, it won't be too scared to show up." ”

Mei Xiaoyu smiled, if Chu Huan didn't come today, he didn't have to make his own move, Cicada and Xi'er would be able to tear him apart.

Although Chu Huan was asked to prepare a gift a few days ago, Mei Xiaoyu didn't take it to heart, just to be happy, what surprises could Chu Huan's elm head have?

Just thinking about it, Xiao Er of a flower shop came downstairs, they were neighbors to each other, and when they entered the yard and saw Mei Xiaoyu, she put the flowers on a table: "Happy birthday Sister Mei, this is the flower that Chu Huan sent you, I wish you eighteen years old." ”

Mei Xiaoyu nodded, and the cicada was about to go to see the flowers, when the guy from the cake shop ran over: "Happy birthday Sister Mei, this is Chu Huan's birthday cake for you, I wish you all good people." ”

Seeing these two gifts, she rubbed her temples, she had a headache, this Chu Huan was decent, and it was too perfunctory.

Just as the two guys were about to leave, another guy ran in: "Happy birthday Sister Mei, this is a black feather gold-inlaid folding fan that Chu Huan gave you, may you smile often." ”

Mei Xiaoyu did smile.

Unexpectedly, it was not over yet, and three more guys came in, all of them seemed to have been rehearsed, and everyone said blessings first, then what Chu Huan sent, and then said vision.

"Happy birthday Sister Mei, this is the bamboo forest map after the rain that Chu Huan sent you, I wish you to climb high step by step."

"Happy birthday Sister Mei, this is the gilded horn comb that Chu Huan gave you, I wish you all the best."

"Happy birthday Sister Mei, this is a deer companion table lamp that Chu Huan sent you, may you be safe and always accompanied."

The previous guys hadn't left yet, and seeing Chu Huan giving so many gifts, they all whispered.

"This Chu Huan is really excessive, usually it is difficult for me to say a word to Sister Mei, he has so many gifts at once."

"This Chu Huan is really a master of picking up girls, Sister Mei, don't be deceived by him......" A male guy said with some jealousy, he didn't know Chu Huan, and he thought it was a suitor of the prince.

The female guy who sent the flowers before was even more envious, thinking that someone was doing this to me...... I will definitely marry him.

Cicada helped put the gift on the table, thinking that Chu Huan had finally taken care of it this time.

Mei Xiaoyu smiled even more at the corner of her eyes, and just as she was about to go downstairs to see the gifts, footsteps came from outside again: "Happy birthday Sister Mei, this is Chu Huan's original heart jewelry storage box for you, I hope your original intention will not change!" ”

Already six gifts?

And also?

She was a little surprised.

There was also a bit of a surprise.

It's just that no one thought that this was the beginning.

"Wild century-old forest ginseng, may you live a long and healthy life!"

"Brown-tailed swiftlet's nest, may you live up to your time!

"Repair and moisturizing skin care lotion, may you look as beautiful as a flower!"

……

Mei Xiaoyu came to the courtyard, looking at the guy who was still saying blessings, she had forgotten that this was the first gift, and at this moment she looked at the gifts on the table, her eyes were a little moist.

Because there were too many gifts, two tables were not enough, and the new guy was putting the gifts on the third table.

Although it is not a too expensive gift, it can be seen that Chu Huan has indeed put a lot of thought into it.

Looking at a group of guys watching the excitement in various stores in the courtyard, Mei Xiaoyu looked at the cicada, and the cicada was also shocked at this time, she couldn't understand who Chu Huan learned from?

Seeing Mei Xiaoyu looking over, after getting along day and night for so many years, Cicada didn't need Sister Mei to speak, she understood what she wanted to say from her eyes.

"Thank you, everyone, for your hard work." Cicada took out a handful of gold coins, one for each person, and the people who received the money stopped talking and left happily.

Mei Xiaoyu sat down on the chair next to her, she was a little dazed.

Cicada didn't speak, she looked at this gift and touched that gift full of curiosity.

"Cicadas, you can keep whatever you like."

The cicada nodded happily.

Mei Xiaoyu stood up: "This kid, if I were younger, I might be moved by him." ”

Despite what she said, she still blushed a little.

She took out her mobile phone and started calling, but Chu Huan didn't answer.

"Hmph, you dare not answer my phone......" Before Mei Xiaoyu finished speaking, a voice came from upstairs: "Sister, happy birthday." ”

The eyebrow fish looked up.

She saw the sky full of petals falling like rain.

It's like a fairy tale.

Like a dream I had when I was a kid.
