"Young master, you're back, look what I did for you?" Haitang was standing at the door waiting. When she saw Mei Yuanchen coming back, she hurriedly went up to greet her. Mei Yuanchen was overjoyed to have won Xia Chengyi's heart. When he saw Haitang, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and worried, "Haitang treats me with affection and sincerity. I promised to treat her well, but now, wouldn't I break my promise?" I’m such a sentimental and heartless person!”
"Sir, don't you like to eat these dishes I made? This Qingxi Bamboo Shredded Chicken, I remember you have always liked it. And this spring bamboo shoot stewed beef tendon, you had it before and said it was delicious. "Is my cooking not delicious?" Haitang asked hurriedly when she saw Mei Yuanchen sitting on the dining chair but not moving her chopsticks. Seeing Haitang being so virtuous, Mei Yuanchen felt even more guilty and shed tears unconsciously. Seeing this, Haitang felt anxious. She pulled off the brocade handkerchief from her belt, approached him, helped him wipe away the tears on his face, and said softly, "Good brother, what's wrong with you? Have you been wronged somewhere?" Mei Yuan Chen stretched out his arms and hugged Haitang's slim waist tightly and choked, "Good Haitang, I, I'm really sorry for you!" Haitang let him hold her arms, caressed his head, and sighed, "Is there anything I'm sorry for? I know you feel sorry for me. That's enough for me. As for the rest, how can I force it?" Mei Yuanchen raised his head and asked, "Do you know everything?"
Haitang broke away from his hands and sat down aside. While reaching for Mei Yuanchen's porcelain bowl to serve him rice, she said quietly, "I am very close to Princess Chengyi and have been to her boudoir many times. I've seen those bird clay dolls a long time ago, how could I not guess them?" Mei Yuanchen saw that there seemed to be bitterness on her face, and felt even sadder in her heart, so she raised her hand and slapped her right cheek hard. Haitang was startled and hurriedly stood up from his seat and said angrily, "What are you doing! Can you see this palm print?" She rubbed and blew on his right face. Mei Yuanchen whispered, "I, I definitely didn't mean to hide it from you. I" wanted to talk about it in detail, but felt that it was too difficult to say, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Seeing his miserable expression, Haitang felt pity in her heart, and said softly, "Princess Chengyi is charming and beautiful, of noble birth, but also frank and sincere. You have a close relationship with her and have fallen in love with her. It is only natural." ." Haitang gave Mei Yuanchen a few pieces of beef tendon and said warmly, "Besides, she treats you and me very well, and the prince and the master have the kindness to meet each other, how can I be jealous of her?" Mei Yuan Chen Su knew that Haitang was kind-hearted and sensible, but at this moment, he still heard a little sadness in her words. He lowered his head and said, "Don't you think I don't know? You are still sad in your heart. You have never treated me differently. No matter how good it is, I, I really shouldn’t.”
"You know me." Haitang forced a smile and said, "If I say I'm not sad at all, it would be a lie. Thinking about it now, I still feel sour and unhappy!" After saying that, he clenched his right hand into a fist and held it in Mei's hand. Yuan Chen hit his arm hard and smiled, "Okay, I won't annoy you anymore! You should hurry up and eat the food. It took me a long time to make it, and it's almost cold!" holding a piece of beef tendon. Send it to Mei Yuanchen's mouth. Mei Yuanchen had just eaten a lot of cakes in Xia Chengyi's boudoir, and was no longer hungry. However, remembering that Haitang had spent a lot of energy preparing this table of delicious dishes, he became excited and picked up the bowls and chopsticks to eat hastily.
After everything was settled, Mei Yuanchen took Haitang and sat down on the tea table, and said seriously, "I shouldn't lie to you, so I will tell you now." Haitang listened quietly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. . "Yiyi and I have never been able to explain it. We are a little afraid of her and a little happy about her. Every time we see her, we always feel heart palpitations and joy at the same time. Today, when I see her looking miserable, I feel pity in my heart, and I feel confused. They talked a little bit, but somehow they ended up liking each other anyway." When talking about this, his expressions were as shy as those of naughty children being trained. He raised his head and saw Haitang looking at him tenderly, and then said, "You and I are very different. Needless to say, I love you and pity you. When I am with you, my heart is always peaceful and happy. What do I think about in front of you? Whatever I say to you, I never have to hide anything, I feel really free and happy!"
After hearing what he said, Haitang said softly, "Yeah." Mei Yuanchen suddenly remembered something, and with a "yeah" sound, he took out a brocade box from his arms, reached out and handed it over, and said with a chuckle, "Haitang, take a look at the female doll I brought you." Haitang's face was filled with joy. , took it, opened the brocade box and held the female doll in his hand. After observing it for a long time, he asked Mei Yuanchen, "What do you think of this female doll?" Mei Yuanchen replied, "This is a girl with a skirt and a bun in the clouds." Oops." After a pause, he said, "The store's old man said something quite difficult!" Haitang asked curiously, "What's the matter?" Mei Yuanchen said seriously, "The old man said, this girl's hair bun dress I can't think of any more female dolls. If I pinch it further, I can only make a pavilion lady doll." Haitang's face turned red and she said softly, "That's all." Mei Yuanchen took out a doll from his sleeve pocket. He handed the envelope to Haitang and said with a smile, "Read it!" Haitang took the envelope, took out the letterhead, looked at Mei Yuanchen and then read the letter. After reading it, she felt a deep joy in her heart.
"Haitang, I turned sixteen last month. I wrote to my parents and told them about you and me. My mother replied and said that after we leave school in November, we should go to Jinzhou Mansion in Anxian to hold our engagement ceremony. Yi." Mei Yuanchen said happily. Haitang listened to him and read the letter carefully. As the master said, the lady and the master had promised the two of them a good thing and asked them to go to Jinzhou for the engagement ceremony. She had read the letter several times, but Haitang still felt it was not enough. Mei Yuanchen came closer and hugged her gently, saying softly, "Good Haitang, from now on you must not call me 'gongzi' anymore. It's time to call me 'my husband'!" I won't call you 'Haitang', how about I call you 'Ms.'?" Haitang retorted softly, "No. We haven't gotten married yet, so it's really embarrassing for others to hear us praise us like this!" Mei Yuanchen thought. After thinking about it, he felt that it made sense, so he stepped back and said, "Then when you and I are alone, can you call me "Mr. , "Ms. sir!" Mei Yuanchen was delighted after hearing this, waved his sleeves, extinguished all the incense candles in the room, and said softly, "Madam, today is our wedding night." After saying that, he picked up Haitang by the waist and left. Go to the bed and put her down.
Haitang was extremely embarrassed by his nonsense and scolded, "You are so bad! I shouldn't forgive you!" After saying that, he got up from the bed, giggled and walked out the door, leaving Mei Yuanchen looking at him. He smiled helplessly at the door.
