Chapter 521
What Li Meier received was a painting, "Four Plum Blossom Scrolls" painted by the former master Yang Wujiu. It is rumored that this master Yang loved plum blossoms very much and painted many plum blossoms in his life, but it was this "Four Plum Blossoms" "Four Plum Blossoms Picture Scroll" is the most famous, and this painting is also his final work in his later years, which can be said to be invaluable.

Li Meier is also a person who knows the goods. She was very surprised when she saw this painting. She also knew the value of this painting, so she quickly got up and refused, "Sister Yan, Da Furen, this meeting gift is too precious, I can't accept it."

Wang Shi just smiled and said: "It's just a painting, what is precious or not, Miss Li saved my Yan'er this time, but a mere painting can't compare to your kindness to Yan'er."

Wu Jingyan also smiled and echoed, "Yes, sister Mei, I thought of this painting when I first saw you, and your name also happens to have the word plum in it, so it's not suitable to be the owner of this painting."

"But this... is too expensive..." Li Meier still hesitated, if this painting was put on the market, there would be bids for thousands of dollars, and there was no market for the price.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. When my old man got this painting, he was lucky. He picked it up from someone else, and it didn't cost much money. It has been kept in the cabinet in the study all these years, and he didn't take it much. Come and see it, if you like it, it’s not like you’ve buried the painting.”

Of course Li Meier likes it, not to mention the value of this painting, she has always loved Mei Tu the most, after all, she has a Mei in her name, and she was destined to love Mei from birth.In the past, she often copied plum blossoms herself.

Since it is a wish from Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu, then you can accept it. Jiang Shi also persuaded with a smile, she knew that if her daughter did not accept this gift today, the Wu family would not feel at ease, after all, if the kindness of saving life can be repaid with such a painting, it is also very cost-effective.

Li Meier could only accept it.After seeing the elders on both sides, Mrs. Jiang asked Li Meier to lead Wu Jingyan back to her room to talk, while she and Mrs. Li still accompanied Mrs. Wu to talk in the front hall.

Li Meier took the tea fruit she made in the morning to entertain Wu Jingyan. If it is hot today, the tea fruit is chilled with ice, and it is still cold when it is served, and all the tea fruit is made into flowers. The shape is very pleasing to the eye.

Wu Jingyan took a lotus-shaped tea fruit, took a bite, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praise: "My sister's tea fruit is really delicious, it's different from what I've eaten before."

Li Meier chuckled, took a tea fruit in the shape of a peach blossom, and explained: "I made my own custard filling in this tea fruit, which is different from the traditional mung bean filling. Sister, you are naturally novel when you eat it." , if you like it, I’ll ask the servant girl to put some back on for you when you leave, and I’ll write the recipe later, or you can ask the cook to try it at home, it’s not difficult.”

Wu Jingyan had already finished a piece of tea fruit in two or three bites, took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, and said with a smile: "My cook doesn't have the skillful hands of your younger sister, even if she has a recipe, she might not be able to make the same one as her." smell."

Li Meier just smiled and said: "If my sister likes to eat, just tell the servants, I will send it to you when I'm done."

"That's so embarrassing. If I think about it, I will come here in person. Don't dislike me then." Wu Jingyan said with a smile, and she took Li Meier's hand affectionately.

Wu Jingyan took the initiative to show her kindness, and the atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious. After drinking a cup of tea, Wu Jingyan said: "Sister, I planned to come to your place yesterday, but something happened to my cousin. "

Li Meier's eyes flashed, and she followed her words and asked, "Oh? But is Miss Lu's injury healed?"

Wu Jingyan sighed, and then said: "It's not just bad, it's very bad. Yesterday morning, my silly sister was planning to commit suicide!"

When these words came out, Li Meier was really taken aback. She had guessed at first that Lu Zhiwei's face was scratched by the lynx. The wound was poisoned and festered, which might leave scars. She never thought that Lu Zhiwei would commit suicide because of this.

"Even if the wound on the face can't be healed, it won't be..." Li Meier said slowly after a long time, her tone was full of disbelief. It is impossible for the Sun family to ignore Sun Xiaowu's injuries, and they will do their best to heal her.

"Actually, I can't blame her for thinking too much." Wu Jingyan sighed again, and said, "I also heard from my mother that the wound on her neck was festering badly, and even her entire face had a rash. At a loss what to do, I already invited the imperial doctor in the palace to have a look. He said that even if the poison was cured, the rash on his face would leave traces, not to mention the three wounds on his neck. It will leave a scar."

I see.This is really disfigured.Li Meier felt chills in her heart, remembering that this poisonous plan was originally aimed at Sun Xiaowu. If Sun Xiaowu was the one who was scratched, then she would be the one who had her face ruined, let alone being a princess, she might be ruined for the rest of her life. up.

Li Mei'er didn't know who used this poisonous trick, but felt that this person's mind was extremely vicious, if such a person was not caught, Pingting and the Sun family would probably have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.

Li Meier froze as soon as she thought about it, and it was Wu Jingyan who called her a few times before she came back to her senses.

Wu Jingyan thought that she was frightened, so she said apologetically, "Telling you this, I frightened you, but this matter has something to do with you and me, so I wanted to tell you."

Li Meier quickly waved her hand, "It's not so easy to scare, I just think it's a pity for Miss Lu, so now she..."

Li Meier didn't finish her sentence, but she knew that Wu Jingyan understood what she meant.

"Fortunately, the maids happened to deliver breakfast at that time, and they found it in time and rescued him." Wu Jingyan continued, her expression and tone full of fear. "My mother got the news yesterday, so she hurriedly took me to the uncle's house, but at that time my cousin was still in a very unstable mood, and I didn't see her, but my mother saw her across the bed, and only said that my cousin was always Cry, don't talk, don't eat."

After Wu Jingyan finished speaking, she sighed again, and then she was full of fear. If Li Meier hadn't saved her from the lynx claws in time yesterday, would she have become as miserable and pitiful as her cousin today.

Thinking of this, Wu Jingyan couldn't help holding Li Meier's hand tightly, and said gratefully: "I will always remember your kindness, sister..."
