Red apricots make spring

Chapter 144
When Mei Xiang was sent to Lu's house by Ye Yu, Ruan Rou was already looking for her like crazy.

"It's so late, she's alone, where is she going?" Rourou walked around the room, fidgeting.

"There is no one in the shop. I searched carefully twice on the way back, but I couldn't find it. Could it be that she met the person who took the flowers?" Mother Wen frowned and said, "If that's the case, then... then . . . " She couldn't speak for a moment.

"Mom, don't scare people, okay?" Gentlely rubbed her temples and said, "I'll go out and look for it again!"

She walked away as she spoke, but was dragged by Xiaohuan and persuaded: "It's so dark, where are you going to find it? Go, Wen Gang and I will go together."

"You stay, I changed into men's clothes and went with Wen Gang." Rourou just wanted to go back to the room to change clothes, but saw the maid Xianglan running all the way in and said: "Miss Meixiang is back——"

"Hey, where have you been?" Mother Wen stepped forward and grabbed Mei Xiang, who was following Xianglan, and complained worriedly: "I'm so anxious! Hey, why is the smell of alcohol so strong? You drink gone?"

Mei Xiang lowered her head and said nothing, she just walked in front of Wen Rou, knelt down with a "boom", and cried, "Sister, I'm sorry for you."

Except for the two insiders, Xiaohuan and Wenrou, everyone present was dumbfounded when they saw this, not knowing which song Meixiang was singing.

"I——" Mei Xiang just wanted to say the whole thing, but was interrupted by Gentleness: "You get up first." After speaking, she stepped forward and pulled Mei Xiang up and said: "If you have something to say, come to my room and talk. "

She took Mei Xiang's hand and walked to the corridor, before going out she gave Xiaohuan a wink.Xiaohuan understood, turned around and grabbed Mother Wen who wanted to follow, and said, "Ma'am, let's eat first, I've been hungry for a long time."

Wen Rou brought Mei Xiang back to the room, locked the door casually, then turned around and turned on the lamp in the dark, looked at her crying face, sighed and said: "I already know what you want to say, but I I also want to hear what you think, there is no one right now, so you can tell me."

Mei Xiang lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her, sobbing, she told everything about Wu Tiancai's visit to her.The first time, it was to tell her that her grandmother was seriously ill. She wanted to go back and have a look, but seeing Wen Rou was too busy for the past two days, so she definitely couldn't leave, and she didn't want to bother her with her family affairs. , did not say.The second time, Wu Tiancai told her grandma was too old to survive, had died of illness, and the family had no money for the funeral, and asked Mei Xiang if she could find Wenrou to find a way to borrow some.

"I wanted to ask my sister to borrow some money, but at that time, both you and sister Xiaohuan... both stayed overnight in the Shen Mansion... I don't know when you will come back, and my uncle can't wait with me all the time... The weather is hot, I can't stop the spirit at home, I can't...seeing grandma die and suffer...I was impatient, so I moved the money in the shop to use...and coaxed my uncle to say that my sister usually rewarded me..." Mei Xiang just cried , Wenrou didn't urge her, and when she finished crying, she continued: "I have done something wrong, and I am afraid that you will drive me away, so I am even more afraid to speak out. Make up for the embezzled money with my own wages... Actually, when sister Xiaohuan first came to ask me, I should have said it out, but I was flustered when I did something wrong, and I lied again for some reason, and the mistakes became bigger and bigger ...At this point, it's too late to regret, my sister will punish me whatever I want, just please don't drive me away..." She cried and wanted to kneel down again.

Wenrou didn't intend to say anything about Mei Xiang's matter, she wanted to see her behavior in the future before deciding how to deal with it, but now that it's out of the way, it's better to clarify some things.

Gentle sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to hold her, took the handkerchief and wiped her tears and said: "I can understand your suffering, but it doesn't mean that what you did was right, even if you and my mother... ...Sigh, my mother is unreliable, even if you talk to Wen Gang first, and then embezzle the money in the shop for emergency, it's better than embezzling it privately, isn't it?"

"Hmm..." Mei Xiang lowered her head and just wiped her tears, feeling deeply ashamed.

After all, this child is still young, so it is impossible to be too thoughtful about things. This time, it happened just in time. She was not there when the incident happened, and she had no chance to ask for help. Wenrou didn't want to be too harsh on her, besides the current shop There is no shortage of manpower in the shop, so he just said: "Let's let this matter go like this, and don't mention it again in the future. The money you moved in the shop will be deducted from your salary later."

"Sister, won't you drive me away?" Mei Xiang raised her head suddenly, with joy in her tear-filled eyes.

"I won't drive you away this time, but I've said my ugly words before. There can't be another time. If there is a next time, I will have to drive you away." Rou Rou said, looking up at Mei Xiang and saying: " I hope you can come to me to discuss things in the future, and don’t make mistakes by yourself.”

"I promise, there will never be a next time! Otherwise, I will die..." Mei Xiang raised her hand and swore viciously.

"If you can do it, you don't need to make any oaths." Gentle smiled lightly, and she felt much more relaxed when the matter was settled, but she was worried, so she asked her one more question: "Is the family still short of money? Your grandma Did you get buried?"

Unexpectedly, when this question was asked, Mei Xiang thought of the death of her relatives, felt sad, and immediately threw herself on her again and burst into tears, this time she couldn't even answer.

Rourou let her hold herself and cry for a long time, then patted her on the shoulder and sighed: "It's been hard for you these few days, so many things are suffocated in my heart, and I can't even take a last look at my grandma. .”

Mei Xiang held it back for a long time, only being able to cry quietly for a while every night under the blanket, now that she has received gentle forgiveness and listened to her soft words of comfort, how can she stop?On the contrary, I cried more and more.

Rourou let her cry, and didn't persuade her any more, knowing that she had to cry enough when encountering such a sad thing, so that there would be no depression in her heart.She even opened the door and went out by herself, leaving Mei Xiang crying in the room alone.

After half an hour, Gentle and perfunctory Mama Wen, sent her to sleep, and cooked a small pot of red date porridge, brought it to the room, and called Mei Xiang to eat.

Mei Xiang cried for a long time, her eyes were swollen badly, she was embarrassed, when she saw Wen Ruan coming in, she quickly lowered her head and said: "Sister, I'm going back to my room."

"What are you in a hurry for? Have the porridge before leaving." Rourou said, scooped up a bowl of porridge and put it on the table, "Sweets can make people feel better, so drink it while it's hot!" She waited for Meixiang in the middle of the night, and said by herself He hadn't eaten yet, so he scooped another bowl for himself and sat down to drink with him.

The knots in their hearts have been untied, and now they are chatting while drinking porridge.Gentle teased her and said: "Did you have the courage to drink outside, so you dare to come back and tell me the matter?"

"Yes—" Mei Xiang admitted embarrassedly, but then remembered Ye Yu's instructions, and quickly added: "I drank alone, only took two sips, and no one was with me."

What a kid, he can't even tell a lie!If she said that, isn't there no 300 taels of silver here?Rou Rou lowered her head and smiled, drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then suddenly asked her, "Is Ye Yu not drunk?"

"He's not drunk..." Mei Xiang was hungry at the moment, and she was drinking porridge sweetly. Halfway through the sentence, she realized that she had leaked her tongue. , said with a bitter face: "Sister, how do you know?"

"In this capital, who else can you recognize?" Rourou took a spoon to scoop the porridge in the bowl, smiled and said slowly: "I think about it, and I think there are only two people who can make you rest assured to drink with him. Uncle Wu naturally wouldn't give you wine to drink, and even if he gave you wine, you don't need to hide it from me, right? Then Ye Yu is the only one left."

Mei Xiang said awkwardly: "He didn't let me say it."

"Where did you meet him?" Rourou frowned slightly.

"On the way back, I saw him standing at the door. He seemed to be in a bad mood." Mei Xiang lost her words, feeling sorry for Ye Yu in her heart, but she was still young and didn't know how to hide her words. He said it out loud.

Rourou lowered her head and smiled wryly, feeling that the sweet porridge in her mouth became a little hard to swallow.She lived for more than twenty years in the two lives before and after time travel, and she could feel the small thoughts in Ye Yu's heart.In the past, she also considered whether she could accept Ye Yu's feelings and live a peaceful life with him, but every time she thought about it, she always felt that it was really unacceptable.

Even though she is about the same age as Ye Yu, in fact, her psychological age is several years older than Ye Yu. Being with him is like being with Wen Gang. She always treats them as a The younger brother watched it, and when she thought of falling in love with a younger brother, she felt like an old cow eating young grass, which was really a psychological barrier.In this regard, like most women in the world, she is unavoidable. She thinks that when she falls in love and gets married, she should find a man older than herself.

After eating the porridge, Rourou sent Mei Xiang back to sleep without calling anyone. She was thinking about something on her own, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she lay down on the bed and was about to go to bed, she was still thinking about Ye Yu, and she couldn't calm down. .She knew that Ye Yu was a proud person in his heart, and he would not be willing to reveal his fragile thoughts in front of others, nor would he be willing to be sympathized with him, probably, especially not willing to let her know, otherwise, tonight He would not ask Mei Xiang to keep it a secret.

Wen Rou turned over on the bed and sighed.Since he didn't want to say it, how could he intentionally remove this layer of window paper?Even if it is revealed, what can you say to him?Say the two of us are not suitable?Or is it that I never thought of marrying you, so you still give up?
One is too perfunctory, and the other is too hurtful!It's better to pretend not to know, anyway, in Ye Yu's view, she is already married at this moment, there is no possibility for the two of them to be together.Fortunately, they didn't get along for a long time, and they don't see each other often now. I hope that his youthful feelings can be slowly faded away by time.
