"It's not too late. I came early and disturbed you sir."
If Lin Mengwu could speak without gritting his teeth, it might be more convincing.
Lin Mengya pretended not to notice her gaffe and let the person in with a smile.
"How can I call it an intrusion? Normally, on the first day Miss Wu moved here, I should have been the one to greet her. But I let Miss Wu come here first, and speaking of it, I'm really a little embarrassed."
She sat in the master's seat minding her own business, her skirt hanging smoothly on her legs, instantly revealing the hairpin she was wearing.
That is a very good jade ring, not only of good quality, but also of excellent carving.
She saw Lin Mengwu's eyes glued to the jade ring, and she sneered fiercely in her heart.
Look, it's still the same as before, with no potential at all.
But soon, Lin Mengwu had to withdraw his gaze. ??
Even though she was also wearing silk and satin, it was still a bit inferior to what Su Mei was wearing.
Just because what Su Mei wears is carefully made by an inner shop that specializes in cutting clothes for the palace family.
Lin Mengya guessed Lin Mengwu's thoughts just by looking back and forth unintentionally.
Since childhood, Lin Mengwu's food and clothing must be of the best quality.
In the past, her mother and the queen's aunt were doting on her, so naturally they all agreed.
But now, she has to be 'wronged' to death.
Smiling slightly, he picked up the tea next to him and took a sip.
This feeling is so cool!
"We are all a family, so why would you say such outlandish words? I heard that Mr. Su Mei is a close friend of my sister. I don't know where my sister got such good luck. She could find such a capable friend as you. I am really envious.
.”
Lin Mengwu withdrew her sour gaze and started chatting with her instead.
Lin Mengya took another sip of tea and then said quietly.
"Speaking of which, the acquaintance between me and the head of the family is an inexplicable fate. However, I seem to have never heard the head of the family say that she has a younger sister."
Hearing this, Lin Mengwu's body trembled slightly.
Immediately, his face showed continued sadness, and he lowered his eyes, as if she had touched some sad past event.
"There are some misunderstandings between my sister and I. But outsiders don't know these things. After all, we are biological sisters. Blood is thicker than water. One day, my sister will know my painstaking efforts."
This sentence means that she is an outsider and it is better to be more knowledgeable.
But Lin Mengwu's expression showed no trace of dissatisfaction.
"That's true. I wonder if Miss Wu is used to being in the Gong family?"
She pretended that she didn't understand, didn't respond, and started asking questions cordially. Lin Mengwu was slightly startled, probably because she didn't expect why Su Mei didn't ask further questions, but she quickly came back to her senses.
"There's nothing I'm not used to in my own home. It's just that my yard is small and not as spacious as Sister Su Mei's."
The yard is small?
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart. The yard where Lin Mengwu lived was carefully chosen by her.
A simple and clean small courtyard is more than enough to accommodate a dozen people, but Lin Mengwu is still too small?
There is a lot of space outside, why doesn't she move out?
"Oh, you just get used to it. Miss Shishiwu is here so early, but is there anything you need my help with?"
Lin Mengya was the one who didn't want to mess with Lin Mengwu, so she just started to ask again.
Lin Mengwu was furious now, but she couldn't take the initiative to ask Su Mei, so she could only follow along.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I just came back and I'm not familiar with the old house. Since we are a family in the future, we will naturally live in harmony. This is a small gift I brought. I hope Sister Su Mei
Don’t dislike being shabby.”
After all the talk, we finally got to the point.
She looked at the other party and took out a delicate brocade box. When the lock was opened, she saw two beaded hairpins inside.
It was modeled after a tree branch, dotted with milky white pearls. It wasn't that expensive, but it was very unique.
As soon as she took a look, she knew that a lot of thought had been put into it.
"Zhilan Yushu, Miss Wu really has good taste, so I'll thank you in advance."
She said with a smile, but when the maid accepted the brocade box, she could clearly see a hint of reluctance in Lin Mengwu's eyes.
Everyone knows that she is the first female teacher in Sita Academy.
So sending this thing over was just in line with her status.
I'm afraid every gift Lin Mengwu gave out was carefully selected.
To please people, gifts are always the best place to start.
"As long as Mr. Su Mei likes it."
Lin Mengwu's heart was bleeding.
She has many pearl hairpins, but this one is extremely rare because of its exquisite workmanship.
She thought a lot about it and even thought about exchanging it for something else.
But in the end, she didn't dare to do it.
I can only comfort myself desperately that there will be better things in the future.
"I like it, of course I do."
She deliberately took out the pearl hairpin and played with it in front of Lin Mengwu.
But his eyes were always secretly drawn to Lin Mengwu's reaction.
"How about I put it on now and let Miss Wu see if it looks good?"
On a whim, she ordered someone to bring a mirror and put the hairpin in her hair.
In fact, she didn't like it much, she just wanted to see more of Lin Mengwu's reaction.
"It's really suitable for Sister Su Mei."
Lin Mengwu said against her will, that hairpin is indeed more beautiful and refined when worn in her hair.
Lin Mengya reached out and touched it, looking left and right in the mirror, constantly changing various postures and angles to appreciate the beauty of the pearl hairpin.
"I think so. I always felt like there was something missing in my makeup box. Now that Miss Wu has given me this hairpin, I finally feel complete."
Seeing that Su Mei seemed to like her very much, Lin Mengwu was very angry.
In my heart, I despised Su Mei's petty attitude, but on the surface, I still wanted to agree with her.
"Sister Su Mei likes it, so my efforts are not in vain."
"Of course I like it. After all, she is the sister of the head of the family. She has a delicate mind and a unique vision. The more I look at it, the more detailed it becomes. Thanks to Miss Wu's generosity, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to say anything.
Give it to someone else.”
She deliberately praised her, but Lin Mengwu's face became increasingly ugly.
When the excitement of showing off was enough, Lin Mengwu had already had enough, got up and wanted to say goodbye and leave.
"It's rare for me to fall in love with you like this. Miss Wu, why don't you stay for a while longer."
She pretended to stay, but Lin Mengwu shook her head and smiled unnaturally.
"I have other things to deal with. Let's talk to Sister Su Mei next time."
"That's fine. You must have a lot of things going on the first day you move here, so I won't keep you here any longer. Someone, please put this hairpin away for me. Don't lose it or forget it."
She deliberately used pearl hairpins to irritate Lin Mengwu, but the latter's heart had long been overwhelmed by jealousy and hatred, and he had no time to pay attention to her.
Watching the other party leave, Lin Mengya pulled out the hairpin from her head and threw it into the box.
And Axiu also walked in from outside.
"If the person behind her knew that she came today and just gave her a hairpin for free, would she be mad to death?"
Lin Mengwu finally came to deliver something, obviously with the intention of wooing and testing.
So she deliberately changed into expensive clothes and showed off in every possible way in front of Lin Mengwu.
It was nothing more than an attempt to arouse Lin Mengwu's jealousy and disrupt the other party's plans.
Women are always fickle.
Especially Lin Mengwu, as long as he masters his weakness, he can easily lead her away by the nose.
"It's not enough to be angry to death. "Yu, be careful. People have paid such a high price, and it seems that the goal is not small."
The bait must be large enough and long enough so that big fish will take the bait.
Lin Mengwu thought she was here to fish, but in fact, she was the bait tied to the hook.
The gift-giving matter came to an end for the time being, leaving Su Xi to continue to monitor. She took some time to walk around her great-grandfather's yard.
The two babies were very happy to see her. According to her instructions, they only introduced her to Yuanze and Qiaoer as the aunt invited by the head of the family to take care of them.
Yuanze is the oldest among the children, and he is more and more stable.
At first, she just looked at him cautiously, and even had a vague intention of protecting the three little ones.
It seems that these four little seedlings are growing well.
But she came here just to check if there was anything wrong.
She only took one look at the things Lin Mengwu sent and told Gong Ping to throw them all in the warehouse.
From now on, whether it is your great-grandfather or your four children, you must be careful about what you eat and use.
But don't refuse the things Lin Mengwu sends, just send them to her yard.
Everyone was almost settled here, so she returned to her yard, changed her clothes, and changed her face.
The lanterns are starting to go up, and the sky is getting darker.
She, A Xiu and Bai Su dressed up as a master and two servants and quietly went to the West City.
Feiye City does not implement a strict curfew system. With the arrival of summer, there are many more places to have fun after dark.
She did not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to Qin Lou Chu Guan.
Sometimes such a place is still needed for business and entertainment.
Besides, she felt that as long as it was not forced, it could be considered a serious business.
Therefore, all restaurants in Feiye City that deal with skin and meat business must register and pay a portion of taxes on time every month.
In addition, there are clear provisions that if it is found that there is a bad phenomenon of forcing girls into prostitution or human trafficking, not only will all the property be confiscated, but also they will be expelled from Feiye City forever, and in serious cases, they will be executed directly.
Therefore, no one dared to do such a deal at first, but later I discovered that the main thing was not to do anything harmful to nature, and Fei Yecheng's conditions were quite relaxed.
What's more, being proactive and being passive are completely different things. Plus, with the government's care, those guests didn't dare to pick fights and cause trouble.
Where there was first, there was second. After a few months, Xicheng returned to its former prosperity.
As soon as night fell, countless lanterns were lit along the street, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.
When they arrived here, many restaurants had just opened and were not at their busiest yet.
