The beauty of the lady

Chapter 113 The Dark Tide (4)
"Meier, you're here."

"Auntie has been waiting for a long time? It's getting colder outside, so don't hurt yourself."

"It's okay, I just waited for a short time. Now that you're here, hurry up and get someone to carry your things into the courtyard. Don't delay for lunch."

"Ok!"

Zhao Ruolan watched the boy behind him carrying four heavy boxes down, her eyes changed.

It's just a nouveau riche from a merchant's family, but he still shows off in front of him, as if the Hou Mansion doesn't have any good things.

Just waiting for Qiushu and Donghua to open the box and hang the brightly colored clothes in the closet, Zhao Ruolan's expression was somewhat uneasy.

"Cousin, your clothes are so beautiful." Zhao Yuanyuan held Lu's hand and said shyly.

Zhou Mei took out a rose hairpin from the jewelry box, walked up to her, and inserted it between her hair, making that slightly dull little face come alive.

"Give it to Yuanyuan."

Zhao Yuanyuan looked up at Mrs. Lu, saw her mother smiling and nodding at her, and said softly, "Thank you, cousin."

Next to her, Zhao Ruolan snorted, and then pulled Zhao Ruoxian away. Seeing that her sisters had left, Zhao Chengfei also left.

The remaining two concubine young masters and young ladies seemed quite cautious, but they still greeted each other with Zhou Mei and left.

Zhou Mei was still wondering, logically speaking, those two were her elders, it seemed inappropriate to greet each other, but through this simple contact, she knew that the status of the two of them in the mansion was really bad.

Shicui Courtyard's location in Hou's Mansion is quite good. Although it is not as good as Fuying Pavilion where Lan Yutang and Zhao Ruolan and Zhao Ruoxian lived, it is better than the back garden. Zhou Mei is still very satisfied.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lu said with a smile: "It's time for Meier to pay her respects, but do you want to change clothes?"

"Okay, Auntie, please wait a moment, Meier will come out later." Zhou Mei stood up and wanted to go to the inner room to change clothes, but suddenly stopped and said to Xia Qi: "Go and put the screen with the magpie on the plum blossom." Take it out and send it to grandma later."

"Yes!"

In the dormitory, Qiu Shu took out a lavender feather gauze satin dress and white silk-wrapped skirt from the closet and prepared it, and then changed into it after Chunqin had tied Zhou Mei's hair.

"Miss, this servant always feels chilly when facing Madam." Chunqin said in a low voice.

"Just get used to it. I brought the four of you from the mansion. You don't go to the Marquis' mansion as a rule, so don't be petty. You have to show the style of our mansion in front of the servants. You don't cause trouble, but you can't. Let others look down on you." Zhou Mei warned.

"Yes, miss, the servants can save it." The three said happily.

After changing her outfit, Zhou Mei followed Lu's to the Sandalwood Courtyard.

From a distance, she saw Nanny Sun already looking outside the courtyard, and when she saw Zhou Mei approaching, she trotted forward.

"Young Madam, Miss Biao, you are here. Madam is already waiting for Miss Biao inside, please come inside."

Zhou Mei saw that even the wrinkles loosened a lot when she smiled, "It's my fault to bother Grandma Sun to come out to greet her in person. I prepared a screen for grandma before I came, and it took a little longer."

"It doesn't matter, as long as Miss Biao can come, Madam will be very happy." Nanny Sun opened the curtain and let them in, and she saw Mrs. Sun talking with several young masters and ladies with a smile on her face. The performance of a loving mother.

Seeing Zhou Mei coming in, Sun raised her hand to greet her, "Sister Mei is here, hurry up and sit down beside grandma."

Zhou Mei picked up her skirt and walked forward, greeted Mrs. Sun and was pulled to her side by Mrs. Sun, "Have you been busy for a long time in the morning? It's also my grandmother's fault."

"It's not as serious as grandma said, just pack up and let others do it. This time Meier prepared a screen for grandma, and I hope grandma won't dislike it." After speaking, let Chunqin and Xiaqi bring up the screen.

This screen is not too big, it is one and a half meters long and only one meter high, but the embroidery is very good, the front and back sides are extraordinarily exquisite and luxurious, and the frame is made of high-quality mahogany.

Mrs. Sun likes it very much, that's for sure, after all, double-sided embroidery is rare in the market, even in the palace.

"Is this embroidered by Meier?" Realizing this, Sun felt awkward.

"I also hope that my grandmother will like it."

"I like it, this is sister Mei's filial piety, and it's hard for you."

"No, as long as grandma is happy." Zhou Mei is in full swing. She doesn't know how to act, but it's not difficult to put on a show. Is it true that she has won tens of millions of contracts and they are all fake?

"Are you tired this morning? Just eat lunch in our own yard at noon. Our family usually eats by ourselves. Of course, if Meier wants to accompany grandma, it's good to come and eat with grandma every morning. "

"That would be the best. Then Mei'er will eat grandma's food every morning when she pays her respects to grandma. It's good that grandma doesn't dislike her."

"How could it be?" Sun smiled and hugged her in his arms, "there are usually no big things in the mansion, if you are bored, you can play with your aunt and uncle, and you can go to the temple for a walk if you have family members to protect you , other places are not allowed, Meier will be active next year, and now she will learn the rules from her grandmother, and her grandmother will definitely find a good husband for Meier in the future."

Zhou Mei was about to vomit to death in her heart, but she nodded obediently: "Yes, I made my grandmother bother."

"Stupid boy, you only talk stupid things. You are the only granddaughter of your grandmother. Naturally, I want to love you and take care of you."

Zhao Chengli and Zhao Ruoyu, who were sitting below, were fine, they just watched their noses, their noses, their noses, their noses, and their hearts, and said nothing, but the three children of the Sun family felt uncomfortable in their hearts. They were obviously the children of the Sun family. Now that Zhou Mei is here, she has to step aside.

Zhao Ruolan knew in her heart Zhou Mei's purpose of staying in Chengbeihou's Mansion, but even if she knew, she hated her very much.

Now that there is suddenly an eldest lady, she has become the second lady in line, and the mother also asked the younger brothers and sisters in the house to call her second sister, so she should be blamed for being happy.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Sun might feel a little tired, so Zhou Mei said goodbye and left.

As soon as she left with Mrs. Lu, Zhao Ruoxian ran to Mrs. Sun, took her arm, and said coquettishly, "Mother, why do you treat her so well? My daughter doesn't obey."

Sun sighed, stroking her little daughter's hair lovingly with her eyes, and said softly: "Silly girl, what are you arguing with your niece, she is a junior, and you are aunts, so naturally you have to take care of her."

"My daughter doesn't like her." In other words, why did the mother let that Zhou Mei come to their house? She was obviously an outsider.
