Rebirth of the Lin family's wife

Chapter 22

This day is Huimu's 60th birthday.

Hui Yi looked at her eyebrows in the mirror.

She wore a long pink coat with half-sleeves on the outside. The soft and fresh light pink cuffs revealed the moon-white middle coat and the narrow cuffs on the back of the hands. The cuffs were also decorated with exquisite and complicated embroidery and beading. ; She wore a long skirt of Baiyue on her lower body, and a pair of brand new light blue beaded shoes on her feet.

On her head, a bun was slanted, and a small pink pearl tassel hairpin was inserted, and the rest of her hair was braided into a big braid and hung behind her head.

Feeling that she was dressed properly, Hui Yimei took Xiao Hong to the main room to pay her mother's birthday greetings.

The older Yongjia Yongnian and others from the younger generation played in the open space in front of the main house with the younger Fangjun Zhijun. When they saw Hui Yimei, the children shouted, "Auntie is here!" !"

Hui Yi smiled and greeted her nephews and nieces before entering the main room.

The main room was already full of people, and Mrs. Sun was answering in front of Hui's mother.

Hui Yimei didn't care too much, walked up to her mother and bowed gracefully, "Mother, my daughter wishes you a birthday, I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

Looking at the freshly dressed, dignified and beautiful daughter in front of her, Hui's mother smiled and rolled her eyes, "Okay, okay!"

Hui Yimei took the tray from Xiaohong's hand and showed it to Mother Hui, "This is a forehead wipe I made for mother. I haven't used needlework for a long time, and my technique is a little rusty. Don't be offended by mother..."

Mother Hui took a look and saw that there were eight pairs of forehead wipes with different colors and styles in the tray.

She knew that her daughter would only be back for more than a month, so how could she have time to prepare eight pairs of forehead wipes at once... This must have been done by the girl next to her; It is indeed rare, it can be seen that the daughter has worked hard.

Mother Hui was happy in her heart, and the smile on her face became real, "...What are you trying to do? With this skill, I might as well take care of your body, and I will be happy..."

When the sisters-in-law heard this, how could they not know the meaning of Huimu's words, so they stepped forward one after another to make fun of her.

"It can be seen that the eldest lady of our family is very ingenious!"

"Mother is an old god of good luck. As soon as you celebrate your birthday, our little sister's body will be healed! From now on, our family will be smooth and smooth, and no one will cause any illness..."

"That's right, mother, you let us enjoy your blessing..."

The compliments from the daughters-in-law made Hui's mother smile.

The eldest sister-in-law Sun looked at Huimu's face and said, "Mother, there are a lot of guests here today, and our family hasn't had such a big scene in many years. Let my daughter-in-law make a big show in front of you, and give it to my brothers and sisters." Assign a job..."

Mother Hui nodded.

Sun said, "Second brother and sister, please come with me to welcome guests..."

Second Aunt Hui nodded.

Sun said again, "Third brother and sister, the guests welcomed by me and the second brother and sister, although there are servants and wives to lead the seats, but if the guests present have any needs, you can arrange them."

Hui Sansao also nodded.

Sun said to Wei Yuzhen again, "Fourth brother and sister, please go to the back kitchen and watch the servants do things... In case you miss a dish, miss a drink, break a plate, etc., you are here, if the back kitchen has If something happened, someone would take care of the place."

Wei Yuzhen squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and said timidly, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid..."

Several older sister-in-laws laughed.

Sun smiled and comforted, "It's okay, what are you afraid of! My sister-in-law Huang is with you, is it okay?"

Wei Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, Sun's eyes turned around Hui Yimei's body.

"Yimei, that... Chengxuan is a distinguished guest of our family, and you know that there are so many guests at home today, so Chengxuan will definitely be neglected; you and Chengxuan are brothers and sisters, and the important task of entertaining Chengxuan... But It's on you!" Sun said cautiously, "Anyway... whoever is wronged, can't let Chengxuan suffer..."

Hui Yimei didn't speak.

After a while, she showed a bright smile, "...OK."

Everyone accompanied Huimu to eat some snacks and tea in the main room, and some people said that Mr. Ai had come.

Ai Chengxuan came over wearing a casual suit with a gray checkered background.

"Old lady, I wish you a happy birthday!" He said happily, and then took out a flat purple velvet box from his pocket and handed it to Huimu, "It's a small thing, it's not a respect..."

Mother Hui said lovingly, "You say you are so polite! Why bother to see outsiders? Coming here is like returning to your home. I don't believe it... Are you in your own home, treating your relatives?" ...are you so polite?"

Ai Chengxuan smiled and said, "What's the same? Treating beauties is always special."

Mother Hui is an older woman, and she laughed angrily when she heard this, "I'm turning sixty this year! The creases on this face are like a folded oil-paper umbrella... Thanks to you, you can still say 'beauty' to me." Two words!"

Ai Chengxuan shrugged, "That's good! What I said doesn't count, and the ladies present will judge... Please take a look, what I said...is it true?"

Everyone laughed.

Second Sister-in-law Hui was the first to chime in, "That's not it! Just look at our eldest lady and you'll know... When Mother was young, she must have been a great beauty!"

Ai Chengxuan turned his attention to Hui Yimei.

He was taken aback by the elegant and refined beauty in front of him, and unconsciously, he was a little dazed again.

At this time, a servant came to report that guests had already arrived one after another.

Sister-in-law Hui quickly stood up and pulled second-sister-in-law Hui out of the main room; third-sister Hui and fourth-sister Hui also stood up, ready to take their places.

Hui Yimei didn't like to stay in her mother's room, so she said, "Mother, Chengxuan and I are going to the yard."

Mother Hui gave a "hmm" and said with a smile, "Chengxuan, I know you are here to see the excitement, so treat this place as your home, don't be restrained... If there is anything you want to eat or drink, you can Tell Yimei..."

Ai Chengxuan agreed, and walked out after Hui Yimei.

The two walked under the magnolia tree in the backyard, Hui Yimei stopped suddenly.

Hui Zhai is actually not that big.

Today, the backyard is about to become a place for guests to rest and play; unless she and Ai Chengxuan return to their own rooms, no matter where they go, they will be surrounded by people.

After thinking for a while, Hui Yimei said to Xiaohong, "Go back and tidy up the house first, open the piano room, and boil water to make tea... Wait! Take out my uniform tea set, and the former son Zhuangzi The dried wild chrysanthemums and Biluochun from here are also ready..."

As soon as Xiaohong heard it, she understood: when the lady said to tidy up the house, she meant to close the door of the bedroom; to open the piano room and prepare tea, it meant that the lady was going to entertain Mr. Ai in the piano room... She answered yes, He hurried up to the attic.

Ai Chengxuan stood beside Hui Yimei, "You don't like to be lively?"

This was originally a question sentence, but he used an affirmative tone.

Huiyi felt a slight pain in her eyebrows.

You don't need to think about it, if she doesn't go back to the attic but stays in the yard, I don't know how many people will come to "visit" and "joke" her, the future young lady of the Lin family; think about how she was assigned to entertain Ai Chengxuan Hui Yi's brow felt a little uncomfortable.

"Who wants to be sold for a price like a commodity?" She said in a bad tone.

Ai Chengxuan laughed.

"Isn't it a good thing to sell for a price?" He leaned against the magnolia tree and said to her with a smile, "This at least proves...you are valuable, so you are worthy of being cherished and treated well. Don't you always If you have never thought about it, then you are completely worthless cargo... Then, who will treat you well? How will you be treated?"

Hui Yi looked at him with eyebrows crossed.

He shrugged.

Although he didn't say anything, Hui Yimei understood what he meant.

--Is not it?

Xiaohong stuck her head out from the attic.

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Hong, knowing that the room in the attic had been tidied up, she immediately walked towards the attic without saying a word; Ai Chengxuan followed behind her step by step.

The two went upstairs.

Xiaohong has closed the bedroom door according to Hui Yimei's order, and opened the door of the piano room, and a small red clay stove for burning charcoal has been set up in the corner of the corridor. The copper pot is standing on the small stove...

Ai Chengxuan looked around, looking very interested.

"You used to live here." He still said in an affirmative tone.

Hui Yimei was already a little used to his tone, so she didn't respond to him and ignored him.

On the small round table in the piano room was a set of cleaned tea sets. It was her favorite set of Jun porcelain tea sets. It was thin and delicate in texture, with a light blue base, and ink lotus flowers were painted on the cup body and the teapot.

Hui Yimei walked to the corner, stretched out her hands and put them in the copper basin on the basin stand to clean them, wiped them with a dry cloth, then walked to the table, and poured out some emerald green tea balls from the bamboo tube, Put it into the teapot, then picked up the beautiful and exquisite small copper pot, and poured the boiling water in the copper pot that had been aired for a while into the teapot.

After a while, she poured the tea in the teapot into the open cup, and rinsed the two delicate and small porcelain cups with the tea in the open cup.

She reached out her hand and made a "please" gesture to him.

Although Ai Chengxuan grew up abroad, he didn't know the tea ceremony completely, so he followed her invitation, picked up the empty cup, and rubbed the rim with the palms of both hands.

The delicate and elegant fragrance of fresh tea lingered in his nose, and Ai Chengxuan couldn't help slowing down his breathing.

Next, Hui Yimei made a second cup of tea.

In fact, Hui Yimei is not an expert in tea tasting, but she knows a little bit about the good tea in her hometown.

But this scene fell into Ai Chengxuan's eyes, and he just felt...

Beautiful people, fragrant tea.

It was probably because the tea was cooked by the beauty's bare hands, so it became more mellow and fragrant; and the beauty also became more calm and graceful because of this elegant tea cooking.

The two sat in the room without talking much.

Ai Chengxuan originally wanted to understand her better, but she was always on guard, so no matter what he said, or any topic he wanted to create, but after two or three sentences, she would always be strangled to death in the cradle...

After sitting there for a while, there was suddenly a loud sound of gongs, drums and music downstairs.

Sitting is never an option for them to do this.

Hui Yimei thought for a while and said, "Let's move the chairs to the corridor, shall we? You should be able to see them singing in the yard from the window."

The words of a beautiful woman always have more weight.

Ai Chengxuan readily agreed.

The two walked to the corridor one after another, leaning against the window and looking down... The theater troupe is still setting up the curtain in the yard!However, although Hui Yimei's attic is not facing the stage, it can also see the stage from this angle.

The two helped Xiaohong put away the table, chairs and tea sets.All moved to the corridor.

When they were almost ready to move, the stage in the yard had already been set up, and the musicians of the troupe had already started tuning the piano.

Not long after, the martial arts scene that had just gone through the motions began to jump and fight on the stage.

A troupe master wearing a long gown came to the stage and said a few words, nothing more than wishing the old lady a long life without bounds, and then said the next two plays, one was the birthday celebration of the seven girls of martial arts, and the other was a new rehearsal The literary drama is full of flowers, please go to the theater troupe to support it in the future...

Seven Daughters Celebrating the Birthday is a traditional play. It is about the queen mother celebrating her birthday. The seven fairy daughters under her knees went to the fairy mountain to pick fairy fruits to celebrate the mother's birthday. There was a fight between the two fairy daughters; but finally under the mediation of the old fairy, the crane, the fairy turtle, the fairy monkey and the fairies returned to the heaven holding the fairy fruit, and they all happily celebrated the queen mother's birthday.

Because this is a martial arts show, there are few chanting and singing, but mostly fighting and juggling scenes. There are many characters and it is extremely lively, which won rounds of applause from the people watching the play in the yard; Hui Yimei and Ai Chengxuan were also caught Fascinated, watched with gusto.

When the performance was almost over, Hui Yimei said with great interest, "You said that the fairy turtle... the turtle shouldn't be slow, why did I feel that he was the only one making trouble in the whole scene? ...and the crane, the wings glued to his arm are all broken... I think he worked really hard, the weight of the wings must be heavy, he must have been holding the wings for the whole scene, his hands must be sore It's..."

Xiao Hong, who was standing on the side serving, couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Ai Chengxuan turned his head to look at her.

Hui Yimei is eating candied apricots.

Because she was afraid that the honey would stain her fingers and cheeks, she raised her orchid fingers and carefully picked up a piece of candied apricot, and was about to put it in her mouth...

Ai Chengxuan looked at her, suddenly fell into a daze.

She held a piece of candied apricot with her thumb and middle finger, and the rest of her fingers were raised high...Her hands were soft and white, slender and slender, and the candied apricot she was holding was full of honey. The sugar stains made her look red and watery, and under the sunlight, her hands were as beautiful as a sketch of ink orchid.

Until she put the candied apricot into her mouth, his eyes had to shift to her lips again.

——Her lips are beautiful, thin and red, and the corners of her mouth are slightly turned up...

Ai Chengxuan suddenly had some charming thoughts in his heart.

"Feng Xiaolan's clothes are thin, she has lost her age suddenly, her lovesickness is bitter and her tears are salty, how can she endure an empty bed for sixteen years, her trust is like smoke..."

A high-pitched voice suddenly sang a cappella.

Hui Yimei was taken aback!

She was holding a piece of honey-soaked apricot in her mouth, and when she was startled by the sudden singing, the piece of apricot slipped down her throat...

Hui Yimei began to cough violently.

Ai Chengxuan looked at her in surprise.

Xiaohong hurriedly poured a glass of warm water over and served her to drink it.

Hui Yimei drank the water, calmed down for a while, and then calmed down.

She glanced at Ai Chengxuan, and found that he was looking at her with a smile.

Huiyi's brows flushed, and she turned her gaze to the yard... However, she found that Tsing Yi, who was waving Shuiyun sleeves on the stage and dancing gracefully, looked very familiar to her!

Hui Yi's eyebrows froze.

Although she has never seen the performance and appearance of Yu Ming, a famous Kunqu Opera actor, she had seen the posters of Yu Ming posted on the streets and alleys during her short stay in Shanghai before; and just yesterday, she went to the movies with Ai Chengxuan When I was young, I saw Yu Ming's promotional poster in the movie theater!

Therefore, she can be sure that the person who is babbling and dancing the Shuiyun sleeve on the stage is Yu Ming!
"... Yu Ming?"

Ai Chengxuan has already called out Tsing Yi's stage name.

Xiao Hong, who was standing by the side, also muttered softly, "...Yu Ming came to our house to sing!"

Hui Yi's eyebrows fell into a daze.

Earlier when she was in Xiaohong, she heard that Yu Ming's class leader of the Tang family was imprisoned for no reason, and Yu Ming and the others disappeared. Closely, then, was Yu Ming's appearance accidental or...inevitable?
At this time, suddenly a servant woman stood on the stairs in the attic and called Xiaohong; Xiaohong hurried down.

After a while, Xiaohong came up.

"Mr. Ai, our second master said that some elders and family friends have come to the family. If you can walk away, please go and see." Xiaohong said respectfully.

Ai Chengxuan shrugged indifferently.

"Then I'll go over and have a look. You just listen to the play here, and I'll come later." He said to Hui Yimei.

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xiaohong sent Ai Chengxuan downstairs, and naturally someone was waiting for him at the stairs.

Hui Yimei was still sitting in front of the window, staring blankly at Yu Ming's performance...

Xiaohong sent Ai Chengxuan away, went upstairs slowly, and whispered to Hui Yimei, "Miss, someone from the Lin family is here... I heard that only Master Lin and Mrs. Lin brought Third Master Lin and Mrs. Lin Fourth Miss is here, and Second Mrs. Lin is talking in front of the old lady right now..."

Huiyi frowned.

After thinking about it, she said to Xiaohong, "Go and tell the second sister-in-law quietly, just say that I want to greet Mr. Ai, and I don't have time to deal with Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin."

Xiaohong responded and hurried away.

Hui Yi clenched her fists tightly.

Although her eyes were fixed on Yu Ming who was singing contrivedly on the stage, her mind was running fast.

In fact, she was not worried about her marriage contract with Lin Yuehong.

——With Bai Yingying around, the marriage contract between himself and Lin Yuehong would most likely not be possible.

But what she was afraid of was that her mother would agree to Mrs. Lin's proposal and promise herself to Lin Yue'an!
Until now, Hui Yimei is still not sure whether Yu Ming is the actor that the second master Lin and Lin Yuean competed for in the previous life...

But today, she couldn't wait anymore!
Since Yu Ming and Lin Yuean are both here, and the Hui family is his home, if he doesn't make trouble to ruin Lin Yuean's reputation, why should he wait for him to marry Lin Yuean!
Hui Yimei took a deep breath, trying to suppress her frantic heartbeat.

But this idea was just a temporary idea, she had no idea at all, and she didn't know what to do, where to start...

Xiaohong has already hurried up.

"Miss, the second wife asked someone to set up a private seat in the yard, and invited the fourth master to accompany Mr. Lin to watch a play; and asked our cousin and Miss Tang to accompany Miss Lin to play chess in the guest room..." Xiaohong Whispered to Hui Yimei.

Hui Yi's eyebrows were slightly relieved.

As long as Second Mrs. Lin and Lin Yuexue don't need her company, she can get away and do something unknown.

But how to do it?

Hui Yi raised her neck and looked into the yard.

Just in time, she saw one of her cousins ​​and cousins ​​accompanying the stern-faced Lin Yuexue across the courtyard with a big smile on their faces, and walked towards the guest room specially packed for the female relatives to rest.

After a while, she saw that the fourth brother also brought the second master Lin and Lin Yuean into the yard.

In the courtyard, not far from the stage, several tables and chairs were arranged, all of which were covered by big umbrellas. There were also tea, melon and fruit snacks on the tables. These should be the places to entertain distinguished guests.And some long benches are placed in the back position, these benches should be used to entertain the neighbors.

Hui Yimei began to carefully observe the terrain and conditions in the yard.

The stage was built next to the wall, and it was a platform about one meter high. The side of the platform was surrounded by a curtain... But Mei Hui knew that there was a small room there, which was originally used by the maids to stack bonsai plants A small greenhouse; because Huimu's birthday banquet is going to be held recently, all the potted flowers in the house have been moved out to decorate the yard, so this small greenhouse should become a place for actors to change clothes and rest.

But that's just her guess.

First of all, she still doesn't know the relationship between Yu Ming and Lin Yue'an, but the first time she saw Yu Ming, she also saw with her own eyes that he had some entanglements with Lin Yue'an... And Yu Ming would appear in front of her today At home, this was already an accident. If Lin Yuean knew that Yu Ming was here, would there be any special behavior?

Secondly, what can we do to avoid the public and let Yu Ming and Lin Yue'an meet alone?And you have to get the timing just right, so that their unusual relationship can be exposed to everyone, and at the same time, you can clear yourself of suspicion?
Hui Yimei couldn't wait.

She picked up the hem of her skirt and hurried downstairs.

Xiaohong chased after her, "Miss, miss! Where are you going?"

Hui Yimei ignored her.

Seeing that the young lady had already left in a hurry, Xiao Hong hurriedly followed her.

Hui Yimei knew that in the eyes of her family and neighbors, she was a "women to be married", so she didn't want to be too high-profile, so she took a detour along the house, and then approached the backstage of the troupe.

But as soon as she walked into the hut where the theater troupe used it as a backstage, Hui Yimei saw her housekeeper blushing and quarreling with the theater troupe leader in long gown.

"...Yu Ming offended the Lin family, don't you know? What is the relationship between the Lin family and our Hui family, don't you know? For our old lady's birthday banquet, it's not good who you want to sing, but Yu Ming? Today Someone from the Lin family is here too! You! Didn't you use our Hui family's hand to hit the Lin family in the face? Are you fat? Have you forgotten what happened to the head of the Tang family's class?"

The class leader looked sad, "Grandpa! My good grandpa, please bear with me... Originally, we took the order from your house and had already rehearsed... But last night, Xiao Huixian suddenly lost her voice. I can't sing anymore! I was thinking about getting Xiao Yucong to replace Xiao Huixian, but I didn't expect... Xiao Yucong fell and fell directly in the face this morning, and she is still in the county hospital at this moment! I , I have no other choice! Besides, I have also read Yu Ming's script... This is a good show!"

At this time, there were quite a few people around the housekeeper and the troupe, most of them were from the theater troupe, and everyone was a little nervous...

Hui Yimei carefully picked up the curtain again, and glanced at the auditorium.

Fourth Brother Hui was sitting with Second Master Lin and Lin Yuean.

——The fourth brother looked the same, and even picked up peanuts while listening to the opera and drinking tea; the second master Lin and Lin Yue'an were expressionless, but they kept staring at the babbling Yu Ming singing...

Just when the housekeeper and the head teacher were at a stalemate, several old mothers from the Hui family broke in.

"Housekeeper, according to the old lady's order, this play...you don't need to continue singing, and the troupe master doesn't have to worry. Our Hui family invited you to sing the opera, and the remuneration will not be small. Our old lady's words: If the troupe master didn't prepare other plays , the previous Seven Girls' Birthday celebration might as well replay it again..."

The old mother who is the leader is the most useful person around Hui's mother. After hearing this, the housekeeper ordered people, "Go, go up and stop the huqin and gongs and drums of the music class for me!"

Several servants led away.

Soon, the lively musical instruments in the yard stopped suddenly.

After a while, Yu Ming, who was painted with heavy ink makeup, was pushed and shoved, and stumbled in.

The butler and the old mother had already gone out to report to the master and appease the guests. The headmaster was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, calling people to hurry up to celebrate Seventh Girl's birthday again, and took the time to scold Yu Ming, saying, "...You, you bastard, this time I was killed by you!"

Yu Ming was pushed and shoved, and fell to the ground.

I don't know what object rolled down from Yu Ming's head, but no one noticed.

Hui Yi memorized the location calmly.

Yu Ming didn't look well, and he didn't know where he was injured... Anyway, he had been kneeling on the ground and needed a stool to stabilize his figure.

The people in the troupe have become a swarm of bees.

The troupe master arranged for the drumming class to start playing and playing again, and asked the actors to go on stage to do somersaults and play a monkey show to delay time, and then ordered the actors who had already performed the Seven Girls' Birthday celebration to put on makeup and change their clothes again...

No one paid any attention to Yu Ming who fell to the ground, looked very weak, and couldn't stand up all the time.

Hui Yimei thought for a while, and said to Xiao Hong who was following her, "Look, he seems a little unwell? I remember that there was an empty room behind the kitchen, you let him rest there..."

Yu Ming is a famous actor, Xiaohong already knew a little bit about Yu Ming's experience, and she already had preconceptions and began to sympathize with him; the lady's kindness was right in her arms, but the room that the lady mentioned belonged to the servants of Hui Zhai The place where he lives, and that room is unoccupied because of water leaks, it seems a little inappropriate for Yu Ming to rest there.

But Xiaohong thought about it again, today there are no vacant rooms in Hui's house for a banquet... Thinking about it, she said yes.

Hui Yimei told her again, "If he asks who you are, you must never say your name... You know, you are a girl by my side, but he is an actor..."

Xiaohong nodded, and deeply agreed.

"Miss, you wait here for me, I'll come as soon as I send Yu Ming over." Xiaohong said.

Hui Yimei also nodded.

After Xiaohong lifted Yu Ming and just left, she quickly walked to the table, knelt down, and took out a headdress from under the table. After a closer look, it was a headdress inlaid with kingfisher feathers... …

She clutched the headdress tightly and left the place quickly.

Hui Yimei was extremely nervous!
She quickly walked out along the eaves.

Now Xiaohong will bring Yu Ming to a secluded room where no one is staying; then, is she sure that she will lead Lin Yuean there too?

Lin Yuean sat in the audience in a daze the whole time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hui Yimei quietly walked around from behind the house.

However, she tried several times, but she still couldn't guarantee that her figure could only be seen by Lin Yuean alone... After all, the second master Lin and the fourth brother Hui were sitting on the left and right sides of Lin Yuean, and if they saw her, it would be because of herself. If Lin Yuean left, wouldn't that mean all previous efforts would be wasted, and he would also bear a bad name?

Hui Yimei ran quickly behind one room after another.

Until she finally found a very suitable position!

The narrow gap between the two rooms is just enough for one person to pass through, and this position is very narrow, and only Lin Yuean can be seen alone...

Hui Yimei took a deep breath, then stood there and started waving her arms.

But Lin Yuean didn't see her at all!

In other words, he was in a daze all the time, so he didn't notice her at all.

Hui Yimei knew that the opportunity was fleeting.

So she immediately squatted down and picked up a small stone, trying to attract Lin Yuean to turn back by throwing the stone.

But she failed.

I don't know if it was because she was too weak, the small stone couldn't be thrown out of the gap between the two rooms at all.

Hui Yimei had no choice but to grit her teeth and try again.

... She finally threw a pebble out!

And she also successfully attracted Lin Yuean's attention.

Lin Yuean turned his head and saw a pretty girl standing in the gap between the two rooms waving at him from a distance, and smiling at him.

This girl looks good!
But she suddenly waved at herself, and disappeared as soon as she turned around...

But after a while, she stretched out her head again and waved to herself again.

Lin Yuean suddenly became interested!

This girl is not known to be a relative of the Hui family.However, he also glanced at the female guests just now, and there were indeed several good-looking young girls.Could it be that these girls know that they are the young masters of the Lin family, so they want to take the initiative to post them?
Lin Yuean stood up.

Master Lin Er asked, "...what's the matter?"

"Father, I'm going to clean the room." Lin Yuean said, and left in a hurry.

Hui Yimei vaguely saw that Lin Yuean had followed...

It was the first time in her life that she did such an outrageous thing, and she couldn't help being out of breath, as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she was extremely nervous.

She turned seven times and eight times, and luckily she didn't meet anyone on the road; after running for a while, she finally turned to the room that she had agreed with Xiaohong in advance.

——It was quiet there, the door of the room was ajar, and it was unknown if anyone was inside.

Huiyi held her breath, and quietly placed the kingfisher hair headdress that she had been holding in her hand in front of the house door.

However, just as she bent down, she heard Yu Ming ask in a low voice in the room, "... who?"

Hui Yimei didn't dare to speak, and ran away in a hurry, holding her skirt.

She didn't dare to stay, and she didn't dare to look back, but she ran towards the yard quickly with all her strength...

Xiaohong was standing in the backstage of the troupe, running around anxiously.

Suddenly, I don't know where the lady came out. Although the lady was sweating profusely, her face was pale and flustered, but Xiaohong went up to her with joy, "Miss! You Where did you go, me, I disappeared when I turned my head...but it frightened me."

Hui Yimei gasped heavily, and then said, "Where's Ai Chengxuan? You, you help me find him... Just say, I have something to do with him, let him come to see me soon..."

Xiaohong just turned around and disappeared from Miss, she almost cried, she was not willing to take a step away from Miss at this moment, she immediately stopped a maid of her own, and asked the maid to pass on the message.

Hui Yimei didn't take it too seriously, she just asked Xiao Hong, "Did Yu Ming ask who you are?"

Xiaohong said, "I asked, I said my name is Lanhuaer."

The Hui family did not have a girl named Lanhua'er.

Hui Yimei nodded and said, "After Ai Chengxuan comes over later, you go back to your room first, and I will be back soon."

After hearing what she said, Xiaohong felt a little strange.

However, the lady's complexion didn't look very good, Xiao Xiang wanted to ask why, but she didn't dare to ask.

Soon, Ai Chengxuan followed the servant girl.

"What's wrong?" he asked with a smile.

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Hui Yimei smelled a faint smell of alcohol, presumably he drank some alcohol in the front yard.

Hui Yimei bit her lip, stepped forward and held his hand, "...Yu Ming is at my house now, you, you... Didn't you say last time that he is a man... I, I don't believe it, Come with me to have a look, okay?"

This was the first time she took the initiative like this, and Ai Chengxuan was really happy in his heart.

But he suddenly froze...

Her actions seem to be too proactive?

Ai Chengxuan narrowed his eyes suddenly.

If it was any other socialite, it wouldn't be a big problem if he was so enthusiastic about him; but Hui Yimei is not an ordinary lady, she has always carefully kept the distance between the two of them...

He looked at her quietly, without speaking.

But Hui Yimei's heart was beating a small drum.

Xiaohong felt that something was wrong, so she called out timidly, "...Miss?"

Hui Yi lowered her eyebrows and said, "Go back to your room first, put away all the tea leaves from before, and replace them with this year's newly harvested Longjing tea... What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up!"

Xiaohong had no choice but to say "yes" in a low voice, and walked away with her head turned around.

Hui Yimei only felt that her hands were already sweaty, and she didn't know if Ai Chengxuan felt it...

But the opportunity is fleeting.

If she doesn't seize this opportunity, not only will all the previous efforts be in vain, but she will fall into the marriage contract of the Lin family again...

Thinking of this, she couldn't care anymore, so she grabbed Ai Chengxuan's hand, tried her best to pull him towards the back, and said, "Chengxuan, let's go! Let's go and see Yu Ming."

Ai Chengxuan still looked at her.

It's just that the passionate gleam in Ai Chengxuan's eyes cooled down bit by bit.

"it is good."

he whispered.

Hui Yimei suddenly turned her head and glanced at him with complicated eyes.

She couldn't care anymore, so she took his hand and led him to the door of the room where Yu Ming was staying.

The door to the room was already open.

Hui Yimei saw Lin Yuean and Yu Ming staying in the room, one was wearing a dark blue cardigan, standing at the door; the other was wearing a full costume, sitting on a round stool...

I don't know what those two are talking about.

This scene looks quite normal.

But Hui Yimei couldn't give up such an opportunity...

She clutched her chest, exhausted all her strength, and suddenly let out the sharpest scream!

"……what!!!"

The two people in the room were frightened by her.

Ai Chengxuan, who was standing beside Hui Yimei, was also a little surprised. Although he already knew that her behavior was different, he didn't understand what she wanted to do...

But at this time, someone had already heard her scream, and came after hearing the news!
Although Hui Yimei had been clutching her chest, trying to put on a panicked look, she had been stalling for time... Until then, twenty or thirty people had gathered, and all of them were the servants of Hui's family. Besides, there are some times when it seems that the neighbors should be, and she knows that the time is ripe!
Hui Yi's eyebrows showed a "shocked" look, and she said "incoherently", "No! No, no...no! I didn't see it! I, I really didn't see anything..."

In the vague words she said, the first few words were hasty and flustered, but the last few words revealed anger and grievance; Aggrieved, people came together one after another.

Lin Yuean still held Yu Ming's kingfisher hair headdress in his hand.

But he has already realized that he may have fallen into a trap...

At this time, he didn't care whether the woman in front of him was beautiful or not, he walked out of the room angrily, and said viciously to Hui Yi's eyebrows, "Hey! What the hell are you doing?"

At this moment, Yu Ming also stumbled out of the room.

I don't know what happened to him. Although he was wearing a full-blown attire, all the fake clouds on his head were scattered, and his clothes were a little disheveled. He was panting all the time... It seemed that he didn't even have the strength to stand there is none left.

But such a scene made everyone gasp involuntarily.

Everyone stared in surprise at the two men who came out of the small room.

—one clutching a flamboyant headdress, the other disheveled...

The commotion here has alarmed the people in the yard.

Hui Yimei pretended to sob softly, while watching with cold eyes... When the figures of Fourth Brother Hui and Master Lin appeared, Hui Yimei knew that the time was right, so she cried again, "...I didn't See! I really didn't see anything!"

Saying that, she stamped her foot and ran away.

After running a few steps, she heard Lin Yuean's furious voice, "...she's talking nonsense! I, I didn't! I really didn't..."

But she only took two steps when she saw Mrs. Hui and Mrs. Lin walking over in a hurry.

Seeing Hui Yimei's flustered and aggrieved look, the two quickly stopped her and asked repeatedly,
"Yi Mei (little sister), what's wrong with you?"

"Little sister, what happened?"

Hui Yimei covered her face with an embroidered handkerchief, sobbing and choking, no matter how they asked, she always looked unspeakable. After she said "I" several times in a row, she finally stomped her feet and said nothing. Without saying a word, he ran away quickly.

Mrs. Lin Er suddenly saw a large group of people surrounding her youngest son and an actor with heavy make-up, and then took a closer look, the actor looked very familiar...

The Second Mrs. Lin gasped, her eyes widened, and she stretched out her hand to cover her chest.

Yu Ming?

She tried her best to uproot Tang's family, and even ordered Yu Ming to be beaten half to death and thrown in the mass grave... But why was he with Zisong again?
Seeing his son's panic-stricken appearance, then looking at the one standing next to his son... Yu Ming with disheveled hair accessories, disheveled clothes, and a little "coquettish panting", and the sarcasm onlookers' comments... …

Second Mrs. Lin clutched her chest and fell down limply.
