She is the legend of the rivers and lakes

Because of the large number of people, the speed of the journey was much slower. In addition, Lan Xin couldn't ride a horse and could only take a car. When she returned to the capital, it was almost evening.Let the three of Miao Jia lead a team to bring the fake Tong Yi back to the Prison Secretary for custody, and Mei Xianghan took the others to an inn closest to the Prison Division.

"Boss, stay in the shop."

"Hey, isn't this Mei Tutou!" The boss immediately laughed when he saw the person, "What kind of wind brought Mei Tutou here today?"

"I have a few friends who want to stay in Lin'an for a few days, so I brought you here, and arranged for the room." Mei Xianghan took out a silver ticket and put it on the counter, "Delicious food and drink are served, this is The deposit will be made, and the final payment will be made after leaving."

After the boss took the bank note and saw the amount on it, he quickly waved his hand: "This is too much!"

"Not much," Mei Xianghan leaned closer and whispered, "My friends have special identities, you have taken care of them, this little money is nothing."

Hearing what she said, the boss accepted the bank note: "Don't worry, Mr. Mei, I will take care of you in every detail."

"Then it's time for me." Leaving the counter, Mei Xianghan brought people in, and said to the waiter in the store, "Take the guests to see the room."

"Okay." Xiaoer quickly came over to greet the person, "Several guest officials, please come upstairs."

When the group settled their luggage and got down, the female devil had disappeared.

"Mei Butou said that it's getting late today, let all the guest officers have a good rest, and she will come over tomorrow if there is anything to talk about." The boss saw the person coming down, and leaned forward and said, "Mei Butou ordered the guest officers before leaving." The dishes will be ready in a while, all guests, please be patient."

"Why did this female devil change her sex today?" Ji You was very surprised when she saw the dishes being served one after another.

Gan Yuan knew that his master didn't like this female devil, so he didn't hesitate to speak: "Who knows what tricks she wants to play again!"

"Then we are in her territory now, isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"

The boss listened to the side for a while before realizing that the devil they were talking about was Mei Xianghan, and quit immediately: "What's the matter with you guys? Catcher Mei treats you as friends, and specifically told me to take good care of you, How can you speak ill of her behind her back?!"

Ji You was stunned for a moment, and said disdainfully, "You will be bought by money, but we will not."

Who knew that when the boss heard this, he patted the table and said angrily: "Apologize! Apologize to Mei Butou! She never buys people with money! Mei Butou is chivalrous and has always protected us ordinary people. The devil? It's really unreasonable!"

"Her? Chivalrous?" Gan Yuan almost couldn't find his eyes from laughing.

Ji You also laughed.

Master Yunhe couldn't listen anymore: "Ahem, you can't judge a person based on just one side. Mei Butou has done a lot of things, which are loyal to the country and the people, but in our eyes, they have become Repression and exclusion."

"The guest officer said it well!" The boss's face eased a little, "I said that Mei Tutou's friends can't be all unscrupulous people!"

"Monastery Master, forgive me for speaking bluntly, junior," Gan Yuan glared at the store owner, and said to Master Yunhe, "Don't you think you've always favored that female devil?"

"Xiaoyou Gan, and Xiaoyou Ji, why don't you try to let go of your prejudice and take a look?"

It's not speculative, half a sentence is too much.Ji You and Gan Yuan didn't eat anything, they went upstairs to take their luggage and left; Guanzhu Yunhe didn't persuade him, but just ate his own; Lan Xin and Wen Qi kept silent, but Sheng Liu was a little worried. After taking a few mouthfuls, he told Wen Qi and went to the street.

Sheng Liu still believed in the Mei Xianghan said by the shop owner. She had seen with her own eyes how much that person was loved by the common people, so when Master Yunhe said the phrase "let go of prejudice", it was the first time that she could not believe it. The food has a feeling that it is hard to swallow.

Maybe I'm biased against her too?

Thinking of this, Sheng Liu walked aimlessly on the street until she was blocked by a figure.

"Miss Liuliu came to look for me?"

The familiar smile and the upbeat ending sound brought Sheng Liu back to his senses.Facing the still cheesy smile, Sheng Liu thought: Sure enough, I think too much, this is not prejudice at all!

Mei Xianghan didn't know what she was thinking, and continued: "Since everyone has arrived at my door, please don't be too polite, Miss Liu Liu, come in and sit down."

Sheng Liu is the worst at dealing with elders.

What's more, it was Mei Xianghan's elders in front of him.

Sheng Liu felt that she must have been drugged by Mei Xianghan, otherwise how could she have followed her into her house!

Feng Cuiyan is worthy of being the daughter of a general, with a straightforward and bold personality, but Sheng Liu still couldn't resist the enthusiasm from the elders, so Feng Cuiyan's voice could only be heard in the whole living room.In front of her, Mei Xianghan had no chance to speak.

"When I was young, I also had a Jianghu dream." After hearing Mei Xianghan introduce Sheng Liu's identity, Feng Cuiyan yearned for it very much, "It's a pity that although I practice martial arts, my martial arts skills are not superb, but I can fight wars. In the eyes of a hero of the martial arts, it must be a show of fists and legs, right?"

"Seeing Miss Sheng, you are a famous heroine in Jianghu at such a young age. It is really gratifying."

Sheng Liu didn't know what she was comforting, she was a little stiff, no matter what Feng Cuiyan said, she just nodded.

While talking, Feng Cuiyan talked about Mei Xianghan again: "I didn't expect our Axiang to meet a friend like Miss Sheng when she went out this time. It's really her blessing. Axiang, let's see how calm she is. You should also learn a little bit, you are a big girl now, don't always be like a monkey."

"By the way, Miss Sheng didn't know that our Axiang was naughty when she was a child, so my father sent her to practice martial arts. I thought she would be calmer after practicing martial arts, but I didn't expect her to be the same as before. Speaking of which, Axiang just When I was able to walk, I followed my father and began to stride. I still looked good, but I was too young at that time, and my two short legs had no strength at all. I often fell to my buttocks and squatted while standing, which was obviously painful. I'm about to cry, but I still hold back."

"Later, when I got older, the horse's gait became more and more stable, and I began to be restless in other areas. I could do everything up the tree and down the river. I remember the first time she climbed a tree, she climbed as fast as a monkey, but she couldn't get down in the end. Yes, at that time I went back to my natal family, his father went to court, and there was only Ah Ling at home... Oh yes, Ah Ling was Ah Xiang’s elder brother, and Ah Ling was still a little radish at that time, Ah Xiang was crying on the tree, He was in a hurry under the tree." Probably remembering the situation at that time, Feng Cuiyan was overjoyed, and continued to say after laughing, "The servants at home heard the crying and looked for them, and saw two brothers and sisters going up and down the tree, two The two looked at each other, and hurried to find the ladder, but Ah Xiang didn't dare to get off the ladder, and she didn't look for it when someone went up to hug her, but she didn't look for it at all; until I came back, the little girl was still hanging on the tree, crying into tears In the end, I went up and took her down."

Seeing that Feng Cuiyan was eager to talk about her affairs from small to large, in every detail, Mei Xianghan finally couldn't hold back: "Mother, save face for my daughter, you are willing to shake off my embarrassing things, and Miss Liu Liu may not." I want to hear it."

"I want to hear it." Sheng Liu said.

I don’t know if it’s because the mother looks at her daughter with tolerance. The Mei Xianghan Feng Cuiyan talks about is completely different from the Mei Xianghan she knows. .

Seeing her support, Feng Cuiyan became even more interested.One by one, Mei Xianghan's embarrassing things began to be revealed.

Mei Xianghan sat on the side, looking at Sheng Liu's sideways face listening intently, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, tacitly acquiescing to her mother's disclosure of her childhood embarrassment.

Probably because Feng Cuiyan spoke too vividly, a slight smile finally appeared on Sheng Liu's unchanged face. If it was someone else, he might have skipped it, but it was Mei Xianghan, who had been staring at Sheng Liu with sharp eyes. cold.

"Miss Liuliu, you just laughed!"

Hearing the sound, Sheng Liu remembered that Mei Xianghan, who had grown up and had become unlovable and even a little annoying, was sitting beside him, and said without turning his head, "No."

"Yes, I saw it." Mei Xianghan moved closer to her, "Mom, did you see it?"

Feng Cuiyan shook her head: "No. If Miss Sheng says there isn't one, then there won't be one. Doesn't she know whether she smiles better than you?"

"Oh——" Mei Xianghan leaned back in the chair, with a lazy tone, "Look, mother, you talk for a long time and people don't laugh, it must be very boring."

Sheng Liu frowned slightly, and his lips twitched a few times before he said, "No, it's very interesting."

"Okay, don't make trouble, it will affect Miss Sheng's listening to my story." Feng Cuiyan waved her hand to signal her not to interrupt, and then continued to talk.

Sheng Liu was engrossed in listening, and the corners of his mouth would rise uncontrollably when he heard something interesting, he probably didn't realize it, but Mei Xianghan caught it all in his eyes.

When Mei Linghan came back, what he saw was that his mother was having a heated one-sided chat with a strange girl, while his younger sister, who had always been restless, sat there and listened very peacefully—it was simply the first time of the Great Announcement. A spectacle!

"Mom, this is..."

"A Ling is back?" Feng Cuiyan seemed to have just seen her son, "This is A Xiang's friend. He just came to the capital and is here as a guest."

"We met for the first time." Mei Linghan greeted Sheng Liu as a scholar, "This is Ah Xiang's elder brother."

Although Sheng Liu doesn't like socializing with others, he still has the necessary etiquette, so he stood up and hugged Mei Linghan: "Sheng Liu."

……

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, but Mei Linghan and Sheng Liu didn't feel embarrassed, after all, the one was gentle and elegant, never good at fighting, and the other was indifferent to everything, regardless of whether they had it or not.

"It's getting late, let's go eat." Mei Xianghan touched his empty stomach and said, "Mother, where's dad?"

"He has a social event today, so we don't need to worry about him." Feng Cuiyan said, "Ah Xiang didn't say that he would bring friends back today, and I don't know how Miss Sheng's taste is. I feel wronged that you eat the same food as us."

"It's okay," Sheng Liu had a good impression of Feng Cuiyan, and he talked a little more, "I'm not picky about food."

"It's good not to be picky about food. Don't look at Ah Xiang who can eat so much now, but she was picky when she was a child. She doesn't eat this or that. I doubt whether I can raise her up."

As he spoke, he walked to the dining room. Although the Mei family is a big family, it is different from other families. Since Mei Hefei, he has been very dedicated and never took concubines, so there are only a few people in the whole family who eat. The old man eats early, and often finishes eating in his room, and then goes to the backyard to practice swords.

Mei's food is different from Sheng Liu's imagination.From Sheng Liu's point of view, these high-ranking officials and Beijing officials must be rich and extravagant, but the Mei family's ordinary delicate dishes are very homely, even more homely than the food in Wuyin Villa.

Mei Xianghan greeted Sheng Liu to take a seat, sat next to her by herself, and kept picking up vegetables for her with serving chopsticks while eating.

Sheng Liu found that although Mei Xianghan was unreliable at times, she did not lie about one thing: there was really no rule of "you don't talk when you eat" when eating in their family.

Feng Cuiyan discussed with Mei Linghan how his homework was today, and mentioned the imperial examination this autumn, which extended from the imperial examination to marriage issues, and then the topic turned to Mei Xianghan, and in the end even Sheng Liu, who was a guest, was not overlooked.

"There should be quite a few young and promising young heroes in your martial arts world, right?"

"Mother..." Mei Xianghan said helplessly.

Sheng Liu has only seen Mei Xianghan like this once, when that "friend's sister" appeared last time when she was pestering her.Thinking of that time, Sheng Liu suddenly felt a little stagnant and unhappy in his chest, so he said, "Yes."

"Then Miss Sheng thinks there is someone who is a good match for our Ah Xiang?"

Still unable to stop her, Mei Xianghan was very helpless: "Mother, this is really..."

Before she finished speaking, Sheng Liu said: "Mei Tutou is young and promising, I'm afraid I'm born in a reckless family, so I won't be able to climb high."

Knowing that she was taking the opportunity to tell herself, Mei Xianghan shook her head at Feng Cuiyan and said, "Mother, let's eat. After dinner, I will send Miss Liu Liu back to the inn."

"What kind of inn are you staying in?" Feng Cuiyan quit, "Everyone has already entered the house, so how can there be any reason to let guests go out and stay in an inn?"

"Thank you Madam Mei for your kindness." Sheng Liu was surprised that Mei Xianghan didn't take the opportunity to satisfy her selfishness this time, and dealt with Feng Cuiyan first, "I have to go back to protect Miss, and I can't stay long."

Now that everyone has said that, Feng Cuiyan didn't force her anymore, she just said: "Come and play when you have free time, this girl, Axiang, stays with the jailer every day, and I am bored at home by myself, so I will tell you what I didn't talk about today. It's over."

The word of refusal twirled around his lips a few times, and finally Sheng Liu heard himself say: "Okay."
