Chapter 412 Seeing Zhuang Susu Again

Li Mei'er just smiled reservedly, "Auntie, you are from a family background, in the past you rarely see a country girl like me, so you feel rare. If you look at it for a few more days, you will know what a country girl is."

Everyone in the room was amused by Li Meier's words, and Lu's especially laughed happily, and said to Mrs. Lu, "Did you see, mother, I can still talk, but I'm not as eloquent as this girl."

Lu's laughed again, "Good girl, if you're an idiot, there's no such thing as a smart girl in this world."

As he spoke, he called his daughter Fei Kexin over again, as if he didn't see Fei Kexin's forced smile, he said to himself: "I think you and my girl Xin also know each other, and we will have a good relationship in the future, she doesn't have many playmates at home, it's very How many times have I been talking about you." She then asked Li Meier how old she was, and whether she had ever studied.

Li Meier imitated Sister Lin's lines in A Dream of Red Mansions, "I just know a few words."

Mrs. Lu immediately said, "It's strange that Dao is so dexterous, but girls who have studied are different. The girl in my family is also a student, so you have more to say."

Li Meier had a smile on her face, and looked at Fei Kexin, who had been smiling apologetically, and felt a little embarrassed for her. Although the two of them hadn't had much interaction before, Fei Kexin looked down on her, and had another Regarding Lin Lin's matter, Fei Kexin was very gracious not to look at her coldly, but now it is really not easy to cooperate with her mother to make an intimate gesture.

Li Mei'er herself was also surprised that the Lu family's attitude towards her was a little too warm, maybe it was because of the old lady Lu's love for her house?
Fortunately, the Lu family didn't drag Li Meier to talk for too long, so the girls from the Lu family invited Li Meier to look at the camellias in the garden.

People like the Lu family naturally have a lot of flowers and plants. When Li Meier saw the blooming camellia tree in Lu's home, she couldn't help but admire, "Is this tree hundreds of years old?" There are hundreds of big red camellias in full bloom.

Lu Zhi smiled, "This tree was originally moved down from Siming Mountain by our ancestors when they were young, and it has been more than 200 years since it was moved to this garden."

Li Meier said, "At that time, let's go to court."

"The previous dynasty hadn't started yet, it was the time of Empress Zhaowu." Lu Zhiwei said, "So, the camellia tree in my family has gone through many vicissitudes."

Li Meier looked and looked, and said, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't believe that there is such a camellia tree in the world."

Lu Zhiyu on the side couldn't help laughing after hearing Li Meier's words, "Actually, the camellia tree in my house is said to be quite old, and it is also a good sight in our state capital. However, I heard that there is a rhododendron tree in the capital with a thick trunk. With tens of thousands of flowers, it is a different style."

Li Meier said, "Then it must be a thousand-year-old tree, right?"

Lu Zhiyu nodded with a smile, and said, "This is a tree beyond a tree." Everyone laughed.

Li Meier's experience of enjoying flowers at Lu's house today can be said to be very comfortable. Lu Zhiwei, who didn't think highly of her in the past, really took good care of her today. Although she knew that Lu Zhiwei was only superficially polite, but her tone of voice It really makes people feel like a spring breeze, and Li Meier can't help feeling that she is worthy of being a daughter taught by the family. As Aunt Zhen said, all of them are not simple.

Everyone was tired from enjoying the flowers, so they went to sit in the pavilion in the garden. That pavilion was the pavilion that Li Meier stayed in last time when she participated in the poetry meeting. Now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the sun is just right. Sitting in the pavilion is very comfortable for a few people.

A few girls were having snacks while drinking tea, and chatting about some fashionable rouge jewelry by the way. They were chatting vigorously when a group of people suddenly came over from the lake not far away.

"Sister Wei, isn't that the one in the big room?" Fei Kexin sat in a position where he could see clearly, so he lowered his voice and whispered in Lu Zhiwei's ear.

Lu Zhiwei glanced over his head, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes very quickly, and said lightly: "Let's talk about ours, don't worry about them."

Li Meier also glanced over there out of curiosity, and recognized at a glance that the people who came were Zhuang Susu and her youngest son Yu Geer. There was also a thin little girl beside Yu Geer. They are about the same age, but they don't dress like maids, and a decent family would not buy such a small maid to serve them. Even if they are born at home, they will always be by their parents' side at such a young age, and will not serve them in front of the master.

Lu Zhiwei didn't want to talk to Zhuang Susu, but when Zhuang Susu saw the people in the pavilion, she walked over gracefully.

Seeing her coming, Lu Zhiwei couldn't help frowning, and even Lu Zhiyu, who was always easy-going, couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Miss Six, Miss Seven, Miss Nine, what a coincidence that you all came out to enjoy the flowers." Zhuang Susu walked to the pavilion, but did not come in, but greeted them with a smile while holding her son.

Lu Zhiwei's expression was indifferent, and he didn't intend to get up. He nodded slightly and said, "It's a coincidence. Aunt Zhuang didn't feel well a few days ago, so why is she feeling refreshed again today?"

There was some sarcasm in Lu Zhiwei's tone, but Zhuang Susu didn't seem to notice it at all, and still replied with a smile: "My disease only occurs every winter, and now that the weather is warmer, the problem will naturally be much better. Brother Zheyu kept clamoring to come out, so I took him out for a walk, it's not good for boys to stay in the house all the time."

After saying this, Zhuang Susu hurriedly lowered her head and said to Brother Yu beside her, "Brother Yu, greet the sisters quickly."

Brother Yu's face was a little timid, and he grabbed Zhuang Susu's leg, as if he was a little afraid of the cousins ​​in the pavilion, and greeted several of them in a low voice.

Lu Zhiwei didn't intend to say anything more to Aunt Zhuang, mother and daughter, and said in a cold tone: "I have guests to entertain today, so I won't say anything more to Aunt Zhuang."

Although Lu Zhiwei issued the order to evict the guests, Zhuang Susu had no intention of leaving. She shifted her eyes to Li Meier who was drinking tea quietly, and suddenly smiled: "I also recognize Miss Seven's guests, and they are also relatives of me."

After Zhuang Susu said that, Li Meier couldn't continue pretending not to know her, so she stood up bravely, gave Zhuang Susu a little blessing, and called out, "Biaogu."

Lu Zhiwei and the others knew that the Li family and the Zhuang family were relatives, but the Li family was considered a scholarly family, and Li Yan had a reputation for raising people, so he was different from a merchant family like the Zhuang family, and Mrs. Lu also liked Li Meier, so The young ladies of the Lu family treated Li Meier more kindly, but now that Zhuang Susu came to marry her, they looked at Li Meier more delicately.
