Red apricots make spring

Chapter 213 An Invitation

When she got up early the next morning, Shen Mengyi took advantage of Shi Lei's deep sleep to wash up, dress up, and then went to the kitchen for a walk. Finally, she heard the servant girl inform the master that she had woken up, so she asked the cook to deliver the prepared breakfast to the room In the middle of the day, I walked slowly, and returned to the room with the hand of the dowry maid Lue.

In the room, Shi Lei had just finished washing and sat at the table in the outer room.Shen Mengyi stepped forward and said, "Master" sat aside and watched the cook prepare the breakfast.

"Master, try it, I cook these myself." Shen Mengyi said, scooped a bowl of porridge for Shi Lei, put it in front of him, and pushed a few dishes of his favorite side dishes towards him , looked at him with a smile.

Ever since Shen Mengyi got married, Shi Lei had never received such treatment. He was overwhelmed by the flattery at this moment, and hurriedly half stood up, holding the bowl with his hands and said: "I'll come by myself, you eat...you eat..."

Shen Mengyi squinted slightly, watching Shi Lei take two mouthfuls of porridge, tasted some side dishes, and then said with a smile: "How does it taste?"

"Good! Madam's cooking skills are really extraordinary, much better than those clumsy cooks!" Shi Lei was full of praise, and after a while, he finished a bowl of porridge.

In fact, she just stirred the pot of porridge with a spoon before letting go. As for the side dishes, they were all made by the cook.Shen Mengyi lowered her eyes, covered the flash of disdain in her eyes, and said softly: "Since the master is full, don't forget that you promised me."

Shi Lei really forgot, after she mentioned it, he remembered what the two of them had said in the middle of the night, he quickly stood up and said: "How dare you forget Madam's order, I will write right away, I will go now..."

Hearing this, Shen Mengyi immediately raised her face, smiled at him and said, "I will burn incense and grind ink for the master."

It is more accurate to say that it is grinding ink, rather it is surveillance. Shen Mengyi stood beside Shi Lei and watched him write the memorial. From time to time, he had to point out his wording and sentences. This is not like what he wrote!But instead of being annoyed, he was very happy, sighing repeatedly that he didn't know how many lives he had practiced before he got such a talented woman with blue heart and kindness as his wife.

Not to mention how Shen Mengyi perfunctory Shi Lei, but after Shi Lei went out, she immediately asked Lu E to find Pei Jingxuan.Lue was taken aback, and said hesitantly: "There are many people in this house, and the girl is newly married..."

Although Shen Mengyi is married, to her, she is still the fourth young lady of the Shen residence. She cannot change this title for a while.Fortunately, Shen Mengyi didn't want to be called Mrs. Madam, so she never corrected what she called herself.

"What are you afraid of? Go!" Shen Mengyi interrupted her and said, "Except for the two old men in this house, which one was not brought by me from my mother's house? Who dares to talk too much!"

"Yes." Lue didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly took orders.

Pei Jingxuan hadn't seen her since he messed up what Shen Mengyi asked him to do, and when he heard that she was married later, it was as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt. His heart was so painful that he fell ill soon.When Lue left, he was still sick and lingering. Hearing that Shen Mengyi wanted to see him, the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness, but Lue felt sad when he saw it, so he had to persuade him a little, and then urged He followed himself.

"I'm not going!"

Unexpectedly, Pei Jingxuan would flatly refuse. When Lue heard this, she was very surprised. She raised her eyes to look at his face, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she couldn't help wondering: "Mr. Pei, just help me once." , Come with me, teach me to do business."

Pei Jingxuan covered his mouth and coughed twice, but shook his head without speaking.

He has always been deeply in love with Shen Mengyi, Lue can see clearly, she provoked him and said: "Could it be that you are resentful in your heart and don't want to see my girl?"

hate it?Pei Jingxuan himself didn't know if the feeling of extreme loss, emptiness, and pain in his heart was hatred, but how could he not want to see Shen Mengyi?I want to see you in my dreams!only--

"I don't want to step into Shi's house!" Pei Jingxuan is always a literati, and he has something called backbone in his heart. He is willing to bow down to Shen Mengyi, but he is unwilling to laugh and greet with his rival in love.

"This—" Lue took a step back, and then said with a smile: "The master is not at home, it is the girl who wants to see you alone."

"Lonely men and widows, then you shouldn't see them!" Pei Jingxuan gritted his teeth and forced himself to refuse, "I don't want to do anything that will harm your girl's reputation."

How can this person not make sense?It was not uncommon to see him entering Shen's residence before, but he became pedantic at critical moments.Lue stomped her feet anxiously, she didn't care to avoid suspicion, she stepped forward and dragged him: "Master! Don't you know what kind of person my girl is? At this moment, I'm thinking about these again! Come with me!"

Although Pei Jingxuan's illness has improved slightly, but after lying on the bed for a long time, it is inevitable that his hands and feet will be weak. On the other hand, he really wants to see Shen Mengyi, and he is really in a dilemma, hesitating, being dragged by Lue, he is half pushing and half letting go. Follow her.But when he got to the door, he said something bad again in his heart, he was anxious to get his hands out, and said: "Even if I want to go, wait for me to wipe my face and change my clothes! How can you look like this... to see your girl ..."

Hearing what he said, Lue looked up at him carefully, and saw that he was haggard and unshaven. The most important thing was that he was sick and had no one to take care of him. He didn't know how long he hadn't bathed. The clothes also gave off a faint unclean smell, and she couldn't help turning her face and chuckling and said, "Okay! I'll wait for you for a while, and you go change your clothes. But let's make an agreement in advance, and you can't go back later !"

Pei Jingxuan nodded helplessly, then went back to the room to do some cleaning and changed into clean clothes.When he came out again, although his face still looked a bit sick, after all, his spirit was much refreshed.

Lue was in a hurry to deal with business, thought that she had been out for a long time, and was afraid that Shen Mengyi would talk to him too much, and bump into Shi Lei who was going home, and after asking, she would be the one who was unlucky, so she just nodded to Pei Jingxuan , Without further ado, just take him away.

Shen Mengyi dismissed the other maidservants around her, she was already impatient with waiting, she was fidgeting and pacing back and forth in the room, when Lue called "girl" outside, before she opened the curtain to come in, she didn't care about what to pay attention to Reticent, he opened the curtain by himself, and asked anxiously with his head, "Is anyone here?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Mengyi happened to see Pei Jingxuan who was following behind Lue, his eyes revealed a look of astonishment and joy, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed by her gaffe, but she immediately adjusted her emotions and acted as she did back then. The salute when seeing Pei Jingxuan for the first time, bowed slightly and said: "Sir."

Pei Jingxuan was taken aback when he saw this. Ever since Shen Mengyi got acquainted with him, she has never been very formal. This time she behaved again, presumably because of her own needs, but he still had a feeling of going back in time, vaguely Seeing Shen Mengyi when he was a child, with a calm smile on his face, he raised his face and called him Mr.

"Sir, Mr. Pei..." Someone really called him, but it was Lue. Seeing that he was standing outside the door and did not enter the house, and he didn't respond to the call, he had to gently push him with his hand and said: "My family Miss please come in and sit down!"

Pei Jingxuan was startled suddenly, calmed down, and then walked into the room in silence, sat down on a chair, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Shen Mengyi again, for fear of seeing her in the attire that had been changed into a woman, his heart would be overwhelmed. To sting.

"Mister knows that I don't like being polite." Shen Mengyi sat down, opened the green calyx to make tea, paused, and said straight to the point: "So let me tell you the truth, this time I invite you to come, there is indeed something to do. I beg, but I don’t know if my husband can agree..." The more she said, the softer her tone became, the last few words came out of her mouth like a low sigh, and after she finished speaking, she still bit her tongue lightly. Pursing his lower lip, showing a lonely and tired face, he stared at Pei Jingxuan with helpless eyes.

Although Pei Jingxuan lowered his head, he somehow felt that she couldn't sit still, so he could only express his opinion: "I'll reply you when you tell me what it is."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that it's necessary to wrong Mr., and... to name Mr. Tired..." The words hidden in Shen Mengyi's heart made her feel a little hard to say, but she didn't have much time, and she didn't have much time. The time wears out slowly, no matter how difficult it is to say it, she has to say it, but just as she was about to express her thoughts, she saw Lue holding a tea tray, and hurried in to report: "Madam, the master is here!"
