Otoharu

Chapter 58
The private room is indeed very delicately furnished. The mahogany carved tables and chairs, and the mahogany Duobao Pavilion are filled with many exquisite porcelain and decorations. Although they are not antiques, they should be of great value. At least Li Meier thinks it is more valuable than her grandmother's. Those porcelain vases looked even better.

At this time, eight cold dishes and several jugs of wine were placed on the carved round table.

The cold dishes were very delicately arranged, very pleasing to the eye, but it made people feel a little bit reluctant to eat their chopsticks.

"Mei Meier, you sit here." Zhou Hanyu carried Li Meier to the round stool and sat down, turned around and was about to hug Jiang Shanqing, but saw that he had already sat down beside Li Meier very quickly.

Zhou Hanyu then called out to Mrs. Lin and the two, "Nurse Lin, come and sit down too."

"Miss Zhou, there's no need, the old slave can just stand up." Nanny Lin waved her hand quickly and said.

Where did she dare to sit? She hadn't forgotten her identity. Didn't she see Miss Zhou's maids standing respectfully aside? A servant should act like a servant.

Zhou Hanju didn't force it, but Li Meier never treated Nanny Lin and Chuan'er as servants, they were all a family, but Zhou Hanju was the one who invited guests today, so she couldn't just let Nanny Lin and the others come and sit on their behalf.

Zhou Hanyu is such an exquisite person, and he also saw Li Meier's embarrassment, so he told Hanyu next to him, "Go downstairs and open another table, let Mother Lin and Chuaner go downstairs to eat."

Nanny Lin still wanted to refuse, but Fu Ling had already dragged her out of the wing.

"Mei Meier, try this drunk shrimp. This shrimp is marinated directly while it is alive. It is very fresh and tastes very delicious." Zhou Hanyu helped Li Meier pick up a shrimp, and said softly.

Li Meier quickly thanked her, lowered her head and concentrated on eating the prawns, but she was still very reserved, not as straightforward as at home.

Jiang Shanqing was much more at ease than her, but he didn't let others help him with food, and he was very skilled with a pair of chopsticks.

Soon, a shop waiter came over with hot dishes, but they didn't enter the door. The maids went out to pick them up, and then brought them into the house.

Zhou Hanyu didn't eat much, he only introduced Li Meier and Li Meier which dishes were delicious, and then watched them eat with a smile, which made Li Meier even more stressed, and the delicious food on the table became a bit dull.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Mujin came to knock on the door, the two whispered a few words, and Zhou Hanju followed Zhou Mujin and left.

Only Li Meier, Jiang Shanqing and a maid were left in the wing room.

Li Meier breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the little girl who stayed behind didn't pay attention to them, she seemed to be about to fall asleep standing there, so she said in Jiang Shanqing's ear with a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I don't know why, yes When I look at Sister Zhou, I always feel very nervous."

"Not necessarily, I think you are quite eloquent." Jiang Shanqing said in a bad tone, but he was not ambiguous at all when he sold him.

Li Meier smiled, and immediately explained: "Brother Shanqing, you don't understand my good intentions. I said those things for your own good. I was testing Sister Zhou's attitude towards you. Look at her. I said you are sick, how nervous, and I said you are smart and can study, isn't it to make her not look down on you, she is going to marry my uncle soon, and she will be your half-mother in the future, if she treats you well Some, you will have a better life in the future."

"I won't live with them. Didn't the adoptive father tell aunt that I will live in your house from now on, and I'm not the real adoptive father's son." Jiang Shanqing doesn't think that he will make a living under Zhou Hanyu's hands in the future , said indifferently.

"Isn't this a precautionary measure, in case the uncle picks you up someday?" Li Mei'er felt that Jiang Shanqing was too unaware of danger.

"It seems that you want me to leave quickly." Jiang Shanqing narrowed his eyes and said dangerously.

"No! I didn't!" Li Meier immediately raised her voice and denied it.

The little maid who was still dozing off at the side immediately looked over and asked in panic, "Miss Li, Young Master Jiang, what do you want?"

"It's okay, it's okay..." Li Meier immediately said with a smirk, then looked at Jiang Shanqing resentfully, and mouthed, "I really don't!"

Jiang Shanqing smiled and stopped talking, thinking, this damn girl, if you don't scare her, she will really get carried away.

Although Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing have not small appetites, they are still children after all, and they can't eat too much. Seeing that there are many dishes left on the table, Li Meier sighed weakly and said: "I can't eat much." Yes, but there is so much left, what a waste.”

The little maid at the side heard what she said, and immediately said with a smile: "Miss Li, our lady has ordered that if you can't finish eating, you can pack it and take it home."

"No, no, no, how embarrassing it is." Li Mei'er quickly refused, it's a bit too much to eat for free, and to walk around.

"It's okay, if you don't take it away, this table will be thrown away in the end." The little maid explained.

"So much has been lost?" Li Meier was surprised, she didn't understand the world of the rich, she was really willful.

"Yes." The little maid confirmed with a smile, but she didn't say that the dishes that the masters haven't touched are usually given to their servants.

Li Mei'er's small face suddenly became tangled, thinking of her parents and grandmother at home, they rarely had such banquets, so they couldn't say no to packing.

"Then pack it." Just as Li Meier was struggling, Jiang Shanqing said indifferently, pack it, he is familiar with it.

Seeing Jiang Shanqing's frank appearance, Li Meier suddenly stopped being entangled. If they didn't take them away, the table would be thrown away. It's better to make the most of everything than to waste it. Saying good things about the future aunt in front of the uncle can be regarded as compensation.

The little maid packed all the dishes and put them in the food box, and Granny Lin and Chuan'er also came up after eating. The two of them were belching and rubbing their stomachs, obviously they didn't eat less.

"Miss, it's getting late, we should go back." Mrs. Lin said to Li Meier.

Li Meier nodded, "We'll wait for Sister Zhou to come back, and say goodbye to her before leaving."

But Li Meier and the others did not wait for Zhou Hanju to come, only Fu Ling came to see them.

"Missy can't get away for a while, let the servants come and see Miss Li off." Fu Ling said to Li Mei'er apologetically.

"Sister Zhou, just keep busy with her business. We are the ones who disturbed her today. Sister Fuling, please help me to thank her." Li Meier said quickly.
