Chapter 98 Chapter Ninety-sixth: The scenery is different, the travels increase, the emotions are irreversible, and the gossip is lingering

After the building was closed in Qingqiu, it was like this for three days in a row, which shocked the whole family. If it really continues like this, it will be difficult.Needless to say Qingqiu's expression, everyone noticed Yanxi, what's his attitude?Yanxi slept in her own room on the first night, but on the second day, she thought in her heart that if she was ignored and she slept upstairs alone, it would be terrible if something happened.But if I want to go into the room to sleep, everyone will say that I have softened, and I will lose face. I just need to tell my mother and tell them to pay attention.Thinking this way, by going to the house to get things, first look at the movement.Because he didn't want to show softening, he didn't ask the old lady about Qingqiu's words.The old lady also knew that Yanxi's temper was very tough, so she didn't mention anything about Qingqiu because she was afraid of running into trouble.Therefore, although Yanxi came here intentionally, he left without getting anything.When we got outside, the news was even more unclear, so we had to put the matter aside.In such a deadlocked attitude, another day passed, and Yanxi also felt too unhappy. She could not divorce immediately, and she had an air of absolutely not being able to cooperate.After much deliberation, thinking of this, what is the tone of the only way to find Meili to explore Qingqiu?Then you can make up your mind.Thinking of this, he pretended to be taking a leisurely walk and sneaked into the second aunt's yard.When he arrived in the yard, he deliberately stepped heavily and coughed twice.The second aunt heard it in the house, she stretched her head to look through the glass window, first heheed, and then said: "It's rare that Lao Qi has time at home today!" Yanxi smiled and said: "Everyone is like this." Say, I run outside all day long, but actually...actually..." As he spoke, he stepped into the house.He said casually: "Where's Meili? I don't see her all the time." Meili took a book in her hand and rolled up a tube in her hand, ran out from the inner room, tilted her head and said: "That's, You are roaming all over the world, I know where you are? How can I send you there? Once you come to my house, you will definitely see me, but it's a pity you didn't come." Yanxi ignored her angry words , but said casually: "I have two new novel magazines, I don't know if you have them?" Mei Li said: "You are talking nonsense! Some magazines you subscribed to last year expired early, and you haven't subscribed this year. Where did you get the new book?" Yanxi said: "I said new, but I just said it was a book I hadn't read. My bookshelves are really messy. I want to volunteer to clean it up. Can you Can't you help me a little bit?" Mei Li didn't agree to come out, the second aunt said: "Go ahead, go help Seventh Brother a little bit. The books you read by yourself should always be cleaned up by yourself." Saying, caress He nodded to Mei Li twice, and held her clothes again.Yanxi smiled and said: "Meili is such an adult, my aunt still coaxes her like a child." The second aunt laughed too much: "It's not that I treat her like a child, this thing is hypocritical, it's a bit of a shame not to coax her." No way." Yanxi said: "Can you still coax me if you are hypocritical? Just treat it as a beating." The second aunt said with a smile: "Beat? Who makes the whole family count her young? Even when your daughter-in-law is at her mother's house, so is your mother-in-law." Coax, don't fight." Yanxi didn't want her to mention it any more after hearing what the second aunt had said.Yin said to Mei Li: "If you want to talk about coaxing, I have already coaxed you. Now you can go pick up things together with me?" He said, walking first.Meili was full of things to say to him, and since he made an appointment and it was just what he wanted, she happily followed him.In the study, Yanxi found the key and opened the door of the bookcase, only to see books piled up and down, covered with a lot of dust.As soon as the cupboard door was opened and closed, the musty smell of vibrating dust rushed straight into the nose.Meili rushed to close the cupboard door, and said with a smile, "I can't bear this job. You don't read anyway, so let it get moths. Why do you make me suffer?" Yanxi said, "I'm afraid of being dirty. Forget it, I'll ask Jin Rong to clean it up with me later." Mei Li said: "In the future, you can find new tricks and add people to do things, and today you will lose half of the old women. Mother said, now a yard Here, only one old woman is used, and whoever wants to employ another person, whoever pays twelve yuan a month, and the wages and food, are all provided by the mother. You think, who is willing to suffer this loss? The result is that they broke up. In your yard, Mama Li is the only one left, running upstairs to downstairs, doing things outside, and Jin Rong must do it." Yanxi said: "This has nothing to do with me, I don't care. You Have you ever been to my yard?" Meili looked at Yanxi after hearing this.Yin said: "Speaking of things in your yard, do you also think of Sister Qingqiu?" Yanxi frowned on purpose, pretending to be sad and said: "She is really not easy to deal with, you think in these years, Husband and wife still have any major problems, stay if they agree, leave if they don't agree, but she will quarrel and refuse to solve it even if she dies." Mei Li sneered: "You say this, thinking that the husband and wife are separated, it is like the master dismissing one It's the same as a servant." Yanxi said: "There is no difference at all." Mei Li said: "You said she was awkward, and you thought she would not leave? In fact, she is much more anxious than you to leave." Tell Yanxi about Qingqiu's attitude in the past few days.Yanxi applauded and said: "That's great, just let her go, whatever conditions she wants, as long as I can do it, I will fully agree." Mei Li said: "You think she is that girl who has no ambition , do you need any alimony for the divorce? She just wants to walk out with a suit of clothes like this. It is really chilling to see you clapping as soon as you hear the divorce. But if you hate her so much now, why did you ignore her like that last year? Do you want to marry her?" Yanxi paused, then said with a faint smile, "Don't say that, I have sacrificed a considerable price for her. I don't know what her ambition is? Since she is very Understood, then two wishes, yes..." Before he finished speaking, Mei Li suddenly turned her body away and said, "I don't like to hear your words, you are too bullying." Mei Li said As he walked out, his face was red and angry.

It was Yufen who came in from the outside in a hurry, and asked with a smile behind her: "Is Bamei planning to go out? Why did you come up to the front?" Mei Li knew that Yufen was coming, and deliberately pretended not to know. When she asked, she had no choice but to agree.Pretending to be confused, she said, "I was called out by Seventh Brother." Yufen took her hand and whispered into her ear: "This person is not mentally ill, right? I'll see what happened to him." The behavior is really abnormal." Meili didn't expect to stand in Yufen's position, she would blame Yanxi for being abnormal, so she said flatly: "It's hard to say." Yufen laughed: "You like to fight against injustices. Man, why don't you say something fair? Our identities are different. It doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing." Meili thought, the human heart is made of flesh. I can no longer be jealous of Qingqiu, because I said: "I said there is nothing to say, but I am a little unhappy with Seventh Brother, unlike before, I think he is dear." Yufen said: "Your brothers are all That's it. The old seven is now fascinated by two opera singers, one named Bailianhua and the other named Baiyuhua." Meili said: "Well, it's also named Bai!" Yufen paused and looked at Meili. Li didn't look too annoyed, so he held her by one arm and said: "Come and sit in my room, I'll talk about the two flowers, and you will find it interesting." She said Such intimacy made Mei Li's heart soften, but she was too embarrassed not to go with her.Walking to Yufen's room, Peng Zhen is also in the room.Yufen laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence. We want to have a private conversation, but you are here." Peng Zhen said, "Since you have something to say, why should I bother you? I'll just get out of the way." , has stood up, as a look to go.Yufen shook her hand twice and said: "No need! I haven't been to the park for a long time. Bamei and I went to the park for a walk. Bamei, let's go?" As she said, she saw that Mei Li was not very willing. She smiled and said, "Of course we can't go to places that are too lively. Let's go to the Beihai Sea for a walk." Meili originally wanted to refuse to go to the park, but now Yufen said that it doesn't matter if you don't go to the park, you can Going for a walk in a secluded place in Beihai, if I am too embarrassed not to go, I said, "You just came back, are you going out again?" Yufen said, "It doesn't matter, I have something to do these two days, so I borrowed a car from the Bai family to sit in it. Coming and going is very fast. Now the car is still at the door, let’s go.” Mei Li heard that the Bai family’s car was very disapproving, and thought to herself that she had a car at home, so she refused to save labor and gasoline. Sit, but sit in someone else's car, what kind of calculation is this?I would rather not take the car than to embarrass my relatives.Yufen saw that she was hesitant, but she couldn't guess why she hesitated, so she said, "It doesn't matter, it's my mother who said you, and I will take the responsibility, just say that I pulled you out. Let's go, let's not Hesitated." When he said that, he took Mei Li's arm again and just pulled it outward.Meili was pulled by her arm, she was always embarrassed to say no, so she had to reluctantly walk out of the door together.Sure enough, there was an unknown car parked outside the gate. When the driver saw someone coming, he jumped out of the car, opened the door, and let the two of them get in the car.Meili got in the car, she had an indescribable feeling, but Yufen didn't care at all, and went to Beihai calmly talking and laughing.Entering the door, you can see the woods on Qiongdao from afar, all green.After passing the long bridge, you can see the lotus leaves in the water, like a pile of blue waves, several feet above the water surface.I haven't been here for a long time, I don't think it's a change of time, it seems that the scenery of this place has completely changed.At first glance, it seems that there has been another vicissitudes of life, and it has arrived in another place.From Meili's point of view, it was not as interesting as coming with anyone.Seeing Meili looking east and west, Yufen seemed to have some feelings, so she said, "Bamei, I haven't been here for a long time. I feel very happy to be here." Meili said: "I'm still here. What's the joy? This fits that sentence, the scenery is different, what... yo! I can't do it, I can't say it." Although Yufen couldn't say that sentence, Mei Li knew what her destiny was. , Yin said: "It's no wonder, no matter what interesting things, I don't think it's as good as my father's in Japan." Mei Li was silent and walked with her.Seeing that Mei Li was deeply moved by Yufen, she was too happy to be too inconvenient, so she could only walk silently.After passing Beihai, I found a teahouse in Wulong Pavilion, Yufen led her to look at the lotus, and talked about the scenery, slowly making Meili happy.Then he laughed and said: "I have to go back to this. Didn't I say that Lao Qi has two actresses in his arms? Because these two opera singers are called Bai Lianhua and Bai Yuhua, people only know that Lao Qi is busy with the surname Bai. I know that Bai Lianhua and Bai Yuhua are the names of their operas. In fact, their surname is Li. The false surname Bai caused a misunderstanding. People think that Lao Qi's recent actions are due to Xiuzhu's relationship. You are wronged Are you not being wronged?" Mei Li said: "Oh! There are these twists and turns here. But Brother Qi himself said that sometimes he would visit Sister Xiuzhu, and there is no contact at all." Yufen paused for a while before smiling He replied: "Of course we can't have no contact at all. The usual friendship between the two of them is still maintained, and contact is also a human relationship." Mei Li said: "Then, the sentence that Seventh Brother wants to go to Germany with her is not true. Is it true?" Yufen said: "It's useless to be true, do you think Xiuzhu will take him there? In short, Lao Qi is a person who likes and dislikes quickly." Mei Li was not very satisfied with Yufen's answer , then smiled and said: "No matter who took the initiative in this matter? But this kind of plan to travel together is very noticeable. Besides, they had some relationship in the past." Yufen said: " What you say is observed with ordinary eyes. If I say it according to me, it is different. It is open and upright, and it is not hidden from anyone. What does it matter if you are in the same way? The previous relationship, even though it is the previous relationship, is fortunately long gone. What does it matter if you are doing what you are doing now?" Mei Li said: "It is reasonable to say that this is a sentence that is not easy to refute, but I have to ask again. Is it necessary for the two of them to follow? As for Miss Bai, it doesn't matter if she goes to Germany under her brother's favor. What is my seventh brother going to do in Germany? Like me, he doesn't even know a single German letter. " This sentence really made Yufen ask, and she couldn't answer for a long time.After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Then there may be other reasons. Isn't Lao Qi eager to get a position? Or he followed the path of the Bai family and wanted to find something to do in the embassy or consulate." " Meili said: "So, sister Xiuzhu took him? If he wants to walk, who else can he look for?" Yufen laughed and said, "When people want to walk, they don't care about anything. , Maybe it's her way? Did you hear what Qingqiu said?" Meili thought, you still treat me like a child?After going around a big detour, she was asking for revenge in my mouth, because she said: "Oh! Now she punishes herself to go to jail, which is very negative. What else can I say? And she won't say anything. Tell me that I am afraid that I will be careless and speak nonsense again." Yufen laughed and said, "You are always so enthusiastic, and it is very helpful to her." Mei Li said: "Humans always have sympathy. This isn't considered helping, is it?" As she said this, her face was a little puffed up.Yufen didn't talk about this issue, and talked about other issues embarrassingly.

Just when the two of them were talking about something out of tune, they saw Liu Baoshan's wife from a distance, under the shade of a tree, her gauze flag shirt fluttering in the wind, smiling and walking towards the pavilion.Yufen stood up, waved to her, and told her to sit down.Mei Li said: "Why is Mrs. Liu coming out alone?" Mrs. Liu said: "There are several people in the teahouse over there, Miss Wuer and Miss Qiu are here. I want to find Baoshan in the teahouse, I don't want to see you two." Yufen laughed and said, "You two, the problem of life has been solved, eat a little, drink a little, have a little fun, and you can be a little old." Looking around at the teahouse, he said in a low voice: "My young mistress, don't you know? Since that case, I have suffered a lot of losses. In the past few months, I have lost errands one after another. , now I have nothing at all. This is not only him, but also Zhu Yishi, who is finally an old man. He also lost his job two days ago. I was looking for you, Mr. Bai heard that there was a foreign warden I hope that you and the other side are relatives, so do Baoshan a favor and introduce him." Yufen raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and pulled her mouth slightly, showing a smug look on her face.She smiled and said, "Your news is really well-informed! This is true, but if you want to go this way, there is someone you can find, who is much more eloquent than me." Mei Li stood up and said with a smile: "You Let's have a talk, I'll go over there and see who is there?" After she finished speaking, she stood up and left.Mrs. Liu was eager for Mei Li to go away, and she did not stop her when she went away.

Mei Li walked along the water bank, and the lotus leaves in the sea, a burst of fragrance was blown into the nose, which made people feel refreshed.I looked at the lotus leaf greedily, just walked, but forgot to pass the teahouse, and when I realized it, I was far away.I thought to myself, sitting with Miss Wuer and other people, there is nothing good to talk about, so let's just walk over, and there is no need to meet her.Because one of them was deep in thought, he just walked away.After going around half a bend, I have come under the old locust tree.Now it is the time when the pagoda tree flowers are half withered, when a gust of wind blows, the pagoda tree flowers fall from the branches like snowflakes.Outside the grass on both sides of the sidewalk, a row of Sophora japonica flowers are neatly piled up, especially from a distance, it looks like remnant snow.Seeing that the Sophora japonica flowers were falling, Mei Li stood under the tree and looked around, admiring the scenery.At this moment, I saw a young man in a suit in the distance, also wandering there, as if he was about to come over, but seeing Meili here, he didn't dare to come over.The green locust tree here is gloomy, and no one except pedestrians is here to browse.Meili was startled when she saw a man spying on her. She was about to leave, but the young man took off his hat, bowed, and called Miss Ba.He called out, and Meili remembered that this was Yanxi's friend Xie Yushu, so she nodded and stood under the shade of the tree to let him come.Xie Yushu took the hat in his hand, nodded and walked over.After a distance of three or four feet, they stopped.She smiled and said, "Miss Ba, it's been a long time." Mei Li nodded and said it's been a long time.Xie Yushu said: "Is brother Ling at home? Is Yanxi at home?" He deliberately explained the second sentence because the first sentence was vague.But are you at home even if you say a few words?I felt a little incoherent, and my face was a little flushed.Meili didn't know why, but at this moment, she looked back and forth twice, then lowered her head and pulled her clothes.Xie Yushu had plucked up all the courage to come forward to speak, but Mei Li felt ashamed again, let alone know what to say.It was Meili who cheered up and smiled at him: "Mr. Xie hasn't seen Brother Qi for a long time, right?" After she asked this sentence, Xie Yushu regained his composure and said with a smile: "Isn't it? ? I have visited the house twice, but Yanxi is not at home." Meili sighed slightly and said, "Oh! His current behavior is a bit wrong, and he is getting closer and closer to the friend with the book every day. , and friends who are playing, it’s almost like a day." Xie Yushu smiled and said: "He is very smart, as long as he works hard, no matter what homework, he will do it naturally." Mei Li said: "That may not be true. " Xie Yushu said: "Yes, I went to school with him, don't you know?" Meili heard this, so she couldn't just talk about a brother.But besides continuing to say this, it is not easy to get involved in other issues for a moment, so he just smiled at him.Xie Yushu thought for a while, and then said: "Miss Ba came here alone, or who came from the same house?" Meili said: "It's with the three sisters-in-law. She and a few girlfriends, sitting together In the Five Dragons Pavilion, I came out for a walk." Xie Yushu took advantage of her talking to peek at her body, and saw that she was wearing a long black gauze gown, and her hands and arms were exposed, making her look whiter.Her short hair with butterfly wings and a chrysanthemum tied with white velvet thread affixed it, in this plainness, she fully showed her beauty.But this peek was also extremely short, and before Mei Li's eyes noticed it, he had already avoided it.At this time, a boy in a suit, holding a woman in a fashionable attire by the arm, crossed his shoulders, followed his footsteps, and whispered softly over with a smile.Xie Yushu and Mei Li looked sideways, watching him walk past.Xie Yushu smiled and said, "Beihai is the best place to take a walk in the park." Mei Li smiled and nodded.Xie Yushu said: "Didn't Ms. Wu Aifang write to Miss Ba?" Mei Li smiled and said: "Mr. Xie and Mr. Wei's friendship is higher than Ms. Wu's and me. They must have a letter for you, right?" Xie Yushu Said: "Cough! Don't mention it. Since we parted, I haven't followed him with a single word. Maybe it's the honeymoon scenery, and I forgot my friend." Mei Li said: "It's been so long, is it still the honeymoon scenery?" Xie Yushu said : "It seems that this honeymoon should not be limited to only one month. As long as it is considered a sweet period, it is not difficult to extend this month to a year or even indefinitely." Mei Li and Xie Yushu also meet a lot. When it came to him, he would always answer in a shy way, just say a few words, but unexpectedly he started chatterbox today, and talked a lot.I originally avoided Yufen for the time being, since I never stayed with Miss Wuer, I was afraid that Yufen would become suspicious after a long delay, but Xie Yushu was having a good time talking, so he left suddenly and felt that he had been greatly swept away. face.And even though he was hesitating in his heart, he didn't want to show it on his face, because he only showed it a little bit. A smart person like Xie Yushu knew all about it.So just put on a slight smile and stood aside.Because she just smiled and didn't answer, Xie Yushu understood in her heart, because she nodded and said: "In a day or two, I'll go to the mansion to see Brother Yanxi again." Mei Li smiled and said: " That is very welcome." At this point, the conversation has almost come to an end, and we can leave.But Xie Yushu was still standing there, and Mei Li had to accompany him and stand opposite each other.Fortunately, this Mr. Xie looked much older today than before, so he only paused for a while, and then he thought about it again, because he said: "Miss Eight, don't you go to school now?" Such a misfortune, I am discouraged about everything, how can I still have the heart to go to school?" Xie Yushu felt very regretful, and said: "It is a very unfortunate thing for your father to pass away, but it can't be because of this. Abandoned my studies." Mei Li said: "What Mr. Xie said is that next week, I still have to go to school." Speaking of this, this issue has come to an end.If Xie Yushu didn't find another topic, he would have to stand still again.Meili turned her head and saw two women coming from behind, one of them seemed to be Yufen.I had no choice but to nod to him and said: "The sister-in-law of the third family has come to see me, see you later." After finishing speaking, he walked back to the way he came, and when he met the two women, Yufen was not included.I thought to myself, why bother to leave in such a hurry?But I have already come over, and there is absolutely no reason to go back and talk to people.When he looked back at Xie Yushu, he was walking towards this direction, so he slowed down and walked step by step.Xie Yushu heard that Meili's third sister-in-law was coming, but he didn't know her, so he didn't dare to follow her.But even if he doesn't follow, looking at it from a distance, it doesn't seem to hinder him, so he just follows from a distance and doesn't move forward.Mei Li didn't look back, it was fine, Mei Li looked back, he thought to himself, what does it mean to follow his girlfriend?Shrinking his body, he shrank into the shade of the tree.

Mei Li looked back a few times, seeing that he was still unwilling to go forward, she let out her normal steps and walked back to Wulong Pavilion.Yufen frowned and said, "Ah! My Eighth Miss, I was afraid you were lost, where did you go? Wu Er and the others have all come here, and they said they didn't see you." Mei Li laughed. "Anyway, in Beihai, if you don't leave the gate or the back door, where will you go?" Yufen asked, "Where did you slip off by yourself?" As she spoke, she dragged her chair and approached her, bowing her head. She raised her voice and said: "You are walking blindly by yourself, and you carefully met the demolition party. In the park, a young girl can't walk." Meili blushed and said, "What does it matter?" Yufen She laughed and said: "You are quite bold, as long as it is like that. I forgot to ask the car to pick me up at the back door. We strolled by the water's edge and walked to the gate instead of taking a boat." It doesn't matter if it's the first floor, so I followed Yufen out from the seaside, walked to the east on the road in the old pagoda tree forest, and passed the place where I talked to Xie Yushu just now, I couldn't help but feel a little moved.It was Yufen who looked at people back and forth, supported Meili's shoulders, and said to her ear: "This road is quiet and far away. If you walk here at night, bad men often rush out and talk nonsense. It's just during the daytime. , this place is the most inappropriate place." Meili said: "Why did you talk about it again?" Yufen smiled and said: "I am a good word to guide you, do you think I am poor?" Meili said to her , and no longer debate, just let her go.Walking to the edge of Qiongdao, she met Xie Yushu coming down from the mountain again. Yufen's eyes were very sharp, she pushed Mei Li lightly and said, "The handsome man who is Yanxi's best man is here." Xie Yushu saw from afar When she looked at her, she looked like she was talking to Meili again, thinking that she was greeting her, so she took off her hat and nodded.At this moment, Mei Li was really embarrassed to death, and her heart couldn't stop beating wildly.I thought, this nerd is too honest, how can I be polite in front of my family?In this way, it will inevitably give people a lot of material for jokes.Thinking of this, her heart beat wildly. She was walking side by side with Yufen, but she took a step back unconsciously.Yufen thought to herself that he recognized her, so she smiled and called Mr. Xie.This call made Xie Yushu useless to be polite, and even stepped forward to greet her, nodded and said, "Third Young Mistress, it's been a long time." Yufen also smiled and agreed that it had been a long time.Xie Yushu's gaze shot to Meili.But Mei Li gave him a wink, and he said "Oh" unconsciously, before he said a word: "Miss Ba, don't you want to go shopping again?" Mei Li agreed, so everyone nodded and said goodbye. .This time, Yufen guessed thoroughly. Just now, the two of them hid their heads and showed their tails and wanted to talk, but they looked very panicked, obviously trying to avoid it.Moreover, when the two of them met, they didn't say any words of greeting, they just passed by vaguely, which was very suspicious.Especially when Xie Yushu said he would stop shopping?This re-wording seems to know that Meili has already visited.No wonder Mei Li walked away by herself just now, it turned out that her lover came to meet her.This little devil, everyone said she was innocent, and when it came time to fall in love, her innocence couldn't be preserved.Thinking so in my heart, let alone tell the truth, I still pretended not to know, and went home with Meili in the same car.
