Chapter 120 I Want to Marry Him (2)
She really deserves to be the embroiderer of the Mei family of the first imperial merchant, and indeed has the qualifications to become a royal weaving company.

Before Qiu Yebai finished dressing, Mei Su really didn't go upstairs again.

When she was waiting for her to go downstairs, she saw Mei Su standing between the rough stones and watching carefully, reaching out her hand to caress the texture of the stones from time to time, with a carving knife in her hand, tapping the stones lightly from time to time , Listen to Shi Yin.

Qiu Yebai raised her eyebrows and said: "Young Master Mei's preferences are quite simple, and he likes these stone carvings."

Mei Su listened to her, did not look back, still played with his stone, said lightly as if mocking himself: "Mei Su is just an ordinary merchant, so naturally he is not as elegant as the nobles from the noble families, although they are stubborn Stones, but Mei Su only thinks that things that are born and raised by nature have their own spiritual meaning."

After hearing the words, Qiu Yebai also understands that the aristocratic son of the capital likes poetry, calligraphy and painting, antique appreciation, or the elegant things of flowers, birds, fish and insects. Few people are willing to ponder these stone and wood carvings. They always dislike these things It's all because of too much craftsmanship and too little.

She walked up to him, saw that he was holding a rough stone the size of a goose egg in his hand, and said casually: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with liking stones, but Ben Qianzuo thinks that calligraphy, painting and antiques are always handmade It is these stones that are really uncrafted, simple and dull, not deceiving, not hiding, and not dirty, right?"

Mei Su glanced at her, and her thin cherry-like lips curved slightly into a smile: "I don't think you still have such comprehension, you really are an expert."

His tone was leisurely, obviously it was such an insincere and slightly sarcastic compliment, but it just made people feel as gentle as a breeze in the face, as gentle as a light rain in March, as if he was really praising you.

Qiu Yebai also stroked a uniquely shaped Taishan stone under his hand with a half-smile and said: "I dare not be an expert. I have heard people say that people who like stones are probably very deep-minded and cautious. , People who are not easy to trust others, it is precisely because the stubborn stone is silent, so they can entrust all their thoughts to it."

Mei Su paused, looked at Qiu Yebai for a moment, the light in her eyes was reminiscent of the mist in the West Lake: "Master Qiu, have you always spoken so crisply?"

Crisp to aggressive.

Qiu Yebai raised her eyebrows: "Oh, is that so, Ben Qianzuo has always been a gentle person, so it would be strange to give Young Master Mei such an illusion."

Mei Su stared at her slender and cold face, then smiled helplessly: "My lord is right, the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, as a merchant, if he has no chest, how can he be in the treacherous shopping mall?" Standing, as for trust..."

He said indifferently: "Mei Su has always given his trust only to those who are trustworthy, what do you think?"

Qiu Yebai smiled: "Mr. Mei is also a straightforward person, and he speaks impeccably."

He simply admitted, but people couldn't catch him when he spoke, and he really deserved to be the head of the first imperial merchant.

Mei Su seemed to have adapted to Qiu Yebai's forceful speaking style, and said with a gentle gaze: "My lord, this hidden stone pavilion is not a suitable place to talk. Mei Su has already held a small banquet in the front yard. Is it an honor to invite adults to have a drink?"

When Qiu Yebai heard the words, she nodded in disbelief, and walked out with her hands behind her back: "It's not a Hongmen banquet after all, why not?"

Mei Su paused, and when her slender Qiushui eyes looked at Qiu Ye's white and graceful back, an indistinct ray of light flashed across her, this Master Qiu was not missing a moment's chance to stab someone.

He suddenly said, "My lord, there is another important reason why Mei Su likes rocks."

Qiu Yebai stopped in her tracks, turned to look at him, but saw that he raised his hand, which was still the goose egg-sized fur stone.

"My lord doesn't know that stones are also the aura of heaven and earth, and Meisu likes their aura, there is another important reason - some ugly and ordinary stones, if you peel off their outer skin carefully, Then you can discover that its inside is actually a priceless treasure."

Mei Su tapped lightly on the stone with the carving knife in his hand, and he didn't know what technique he used. The originally rough and hard stone split from it instantly, revealing a pool of green inside.

The bright green is like a deep green pool gushing out from among the stones, and the vivid greenness makes Qiu Yebai startled, the stone is actually the top old pit jadeite!

Such a head of water, I am afraid that only a few serious masters in the palace can afford it.

"My lord, Mei Su is a businessman with such vulgar hobbies, but he is good at looking for jade and treasure." He smiled leisurely, but his light eyes rested quietly on Qiu Yebai.

Akiba shivered, and looked at him with cool eyes.

Looking for jade and treasure?

There seems to be something in the words of the young master of the Mei family.

The corners of Mei Su's lips raised slightly, but it seemed that he was just saying casually: "My lord, please."

Qiu Yebai withdrew her icy eyes, turned around lightly and continued to leave the door.

The place where Meisu entertained her was also in an exquisite small pavilion with glazed green tiles. The small pavilion was built on a rockery, and it had a panoramic view of the beautiful flower forest and the blue water of the clear canal under their feet.

In addition to being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery, Qiu Yebai has also seen everything. Except for the outer wall and the door of the Qiu family, it looks like ordinary wealthy households, but the luxury inside is no less than that of any noble family. The aristocrats, even because of their style, almost completely transplanted the Jiangnan style, and the beauty of exquisiteness even surpassed the courtyards of ordinary nobles.

"Young Master Mei, you are really ingenious and talented." Qiu Yebai's words were sincere praise.

Mei Su smiled: "Don't dare to do it, my lord, please sit down."

After all this tossing, it was almost noon, and Qiuye Bai was really hungry, so she sat down unceremoniously.

There were not many people serving around, and Xiao Qi had already been taken down to eat, and the side length was only served by two maidservants in purple clothes, but their movements of serving dishes were extremely elegant and light.

Qiu Yebai looked at the squirrel mandarin fish, marinated Duxian, eight-treasure duck, oil-fried shrimp, buckwheat three silk, shrimp big black ginseng, grass head circle, Yipin tofu, and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root on the table. All of them are Jiangnan dishes, and all of them use lotus leaves and lotus petals as the bottom plate, which looks elegant and fresh, and has the fragrance of lotus.

She suddenly remembered the time when she was young and her master in Jiangnan, and her eyes softened.

Mei Su glanced at her indifferently, and said with a smile: "My lord has used the dishes from our hometown, why don't you try it and it will be similar to what you remember?"

As he spoke, he picked up a chopstick of deep-fried prawns in oil and put them into a small plate in front of Qiu Yebai. While taking the small silver scissors, he personally cut off the mouth and tail of the prawns for her. The shrimps have been raised for a year, and now is the time when there are brains in the head and seeds in the belly, and the most delicious time."
