no one knows better than me

Mei Hualan repeated again: "I want to see you dance."

Zhuang Qingliu turned her head and refused to admit it: "Wait...wait for me to rewrite."

Mei Hualan's extremely light-colored eyes were lightly covered by eyelashes, she turned her head and said nothing.

"Don't..." Seeing her like this, Zhuang Qingliu reached out her hand subconsciously, and immediately hooked back Mei Hualan's sleeve, spread her palm, and wrote with spiritual power, "I owe a dance to Mei Panpan, and I will return it at any time in the future." .”

I don't know why, since she opened up half of her heart and spoke frankly that night, she always felt that something was different from when she first came here, and Mei Hualan made her a little concerned now.

"I'm not a good dancer, so I can't go up and perform in public now, is that okay?" After Zhuang Qingliu finished writing, she looked at Mei Hualan's expression and tapped her palm.

Mei Hualan hooked the corner of her mouth as expected.

"What are you laughing at? I'm not kidding myself." Zhuang Qingliu also covered his face with a smile, couldn't help poking her dimples, and then sat upright, "Are you happy now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that there were two cold gazes on the opposite side - from Princess Zhu Hengzhu.

However, no one cared about the princess. Mei Hualan just clasped her palms together, put away her IOU, and said, "Those banquets, dances and music were all confirmed in advance before the wedding banquet. When I entered the door just now, a disciple of the Lan family passed by with the list. I saw it too."

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

Mei Xiaohan, who watched silently for a while, turned his head, and after taking a bite of cold walnuts with chopsticks, he asked Zhuang Qingliu intentionally or unintentionally: "Senior Zhuang, why do you like to tease Hualan?"

Zhuang Qingliu replied to her very naturally: "Because you talk a lot and she talks less, I just want to hear her talk more."

Mei Hualan tilted her head slightly.

Mei Xiaohan snorted, and asked again: "Why do you want to hear her talk more, do you like her very much?"

Zhuang Qingliu blinked and thought for a while: "It's hard for anyone not to like her who is meticulous and considerate, who only does things without talking, and has a gentle personality."

"Well, Hualan is not only doing things but not talking, she is also very good at patience, restraint and waiting."

After Mei Xiaohan finished speaking to Zhuang Qingliu, he seemed to have a very short laugh, then glanced at Mei Hualan, stopped talking, and took a drink from the delicate floating flower wine glass.

Zhuang Qingliu was moved by what she said, and turned to look at the person next to him.

Mei Hualan didn't say anything, just picked up the chopsticks and distributed the untouched meat on her plate to Zhuang Qingliu and Mei Sigui respectively.

She didn't move her chopsticks during the whole wedding banquet, but only drank a few cups of tea, while Mei Sigui fell asleep on the table as soon as she came in, and was corrected by Zhuang Qingliu several times in the middle of her sleeping position.

"Sigui, wake up, the dishes are almost ready, get up and eat something."

Mei Siji, who was younger than Mei Sihui in the left back, shook Mei Sigui up, cast a faint glance at Mei Hualan, and Mei Xiaohan seemed to have given her his share very skillfully.

Zhuang Qingliu looked back and forth, and then suddenly realized that there were actually some things written in the book that were not wrong. Mei Hualan didn't seem to be the kind of person who was considerate by nature, meticulous and thoughtful, and would take good care of others - she was a person who cared for a specific person. Habits that people develop.

Zhuang Qingliu was halfway through the matter when she sometimes thought about herself, and then she slowly realized that this person was actually very unfamiliar with her, and she was learning while doing it.In other words, if there is no one she likes, she may not learn how to be careful and how to take good care of a person in her whole life.

"You—" Zhuang Qingliu looked at it for a while, and just when he was about to say something, the newly married couple of Lan's young master and several elders walked over with wine pots in their hands, "Mr. Duanzhu, Lord Yan, what should I give you?" Toast."

Meihualan probably had a reputation for not drinking alcohol on weekdays outside, so Mei Xiaohan just stood up to represent him, and after drinking, he said a few nice words.

Young Master Xiaolan and his wife moved to the next seat.

The suzerain Lan Song, who had only met once before, carried an extra wine jar, walked to Zhuang Qingliu's table as if drunk, grabbed a wine glass and said, "Master Zhuang, with our old stories and friendship , I must toast you an extra glass today, this is your favorite drink of Lihuabai."

Zhuang Qingliu was inexplicably respected by him, but still glanced at the wine jar that was close at hand, and said honestly: "This is not Pear Blossom White, this is Begonia Snow."

"Oh... Begonia snow is a bit more expensive." Lan Song turned around quickly and slightly staggered, "You wait for me to exchange for cheap pear blossoms for nothing."

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

She can't have friendship with such a person.

"Okay, thank you, no need, my favorite is peach blossom wine." Zhuang Qingliu said to him, "Lan's must not prepare such an ordinary wine. Sect Master Lan, you don't have to be polite, let's go and respect others."

Lan Song seemed to be a little dizzy, turned his head and said, "Then, okay, okay... the same will be done in the future."

As he spoke, he turned to Pei Yi on the opposite side again, and the eyes of the crowd were drawn to him again—after what happened to Pei's family in Shangzi, the attitude of Baijia of Xianmen towards them began to change from warm to warm. The network became slightly alienated, but at this Lan's banquet, Lan Song still arranged a high-ranking seat for Pei, so the eyes of the crowd waiting to see Pei Yi were always a little weird.

Pei Yi's face was rigid and unchanged, without squinting, he just stood up and said to Lan Song: "Brother Lan, you don't have to do it for me..."

The two seemed to have old friends, Lan Song just waved his hand, clinked a glass with him, and said seriously: "With our relationship, there is no need to say these things."

Only then did Zhuang Qingliu see some meaning, and looked at the two of them carefully, and found that there seemed to be an extremely delicate small blue gourd hanging from Lan Song's waist.

Lan's things are so simple and exquisite, with their own characteristics. Whether it is the general layout of the fairy mansion or a decorative ornament as small as a plate, they are all exquisite. This little gourd is no exception, and Zhuang Qingliu can't help but look at it more Two eyes.

At this moment, Mei Xiaohan followed her gaze and said, "Senior Zhuang, the Lan family is good at music repair, and they probably carry musical instruments with them."

As she spoke, she motioned Zhuang Qingliu to turn over the things in front of her, and then she played a cheerful ditty with the chopsticks in her hand.

Zhu Heng, who had been bored on the opposite side, heard the sound, and seemed to look towards Mei Xiaohan, then glanced at the chopsticks in front of him, picked them up and tried to blow...no sound.

So she quickly pretended that she hadn't tried it, and looked away lightly.

However, no one noticed the princess, Zhuang Qingliu just blew a fruit plate like a xun with great interest and asked Mei Xiaohan: "How do you know so much?"

Mei Xiaohan said: "Yinxiu is not strong enough, and it will suffer a lot when facing the enemy, so the Lan family has always used formation as a minor. In the past, Yinxiu was exchanged with our family's formation secret skills, and the children of the Lan family went to our house To learn formation techniques, our Mei family disciples come here to learn rhythm, so I have also studied in the Lan family."

Anyway, the night banquet is not very interesting. After Zhuang Qingliu played around and failed to learn, he suddenly had an idea and asked Mei Xiaohan: "Can I borrow your memory and go directly to the Void Realm to learn?"

"Of course it's possible." Mei Xiaohan nodded first, and then suddenly said to her, "But in this kind of place, Hualan has to cast spells by herself, and I'm not cultivated enough, so I can't do it."

As soon as Zhuang Qingliu turned to Meihualan, she saw her stretch out her hand towards him.

"..." I always feel that I have followed the routine of combining the two surnamed Mei, but Zhuang Qingliu quickly handed it out.

Mei Hualan seemed to smile very thinly, and then a prosperous white aura overflowed from the palm of his hand. For a moment, Zhuang Qingliu felt the world spinning, and the original sound of silk and bamboo dance music in his ears gradually faded away, replaced by an ethereal and clear piano sound.

The moment she opened her eyes, the possessed Mei Xiaohan seemed to raise her eyes just in time, and then the scene of the Lan Family Immortal Mansion in the daytime came into view smoothly.

Mei Hualan's voice suddenly sounded in the Sea of ​​Consciousness: "This is the study room where the Lan family teaches."

It turned out that Mei Hualan came in with her, Zhuang Qingliu hummed twice, and looked around casually through Mei Xiaohan's eyes. The study room was spacious and quiet, with light-leaking windows on both sides, and dozens of people were sitting in front of the desks all around. Children of about the same age all had a lyre in front of them.

"Wait, wait!" Zhuang Qingliu glanced at the person next to him for the last time, and said in surprise, "Mei Pan, Mei Pan? Is that you?!"

Mei Hualan's voice seems to have deepened a little bit: "It's me."

It turns out that although there is a difference of two years, Mei Hualan came to the Lan family to study with Mei Xiaohan when she was a child!

Mr. Lan, who was in charge of teaching, had already started to explain the basic rhythm. Mei Xiaohan seemed to be listening very attentively, staring straight ahead.Zhuang Qingliu completely forgot that he intended to attend lectures and learn skills, so he was surprised and curious, so he could only use a little peripheral vision to keep looking at the "childhood plum blossom circle" next to him.

According to her measurements, Mei Hualan was only seven or eight years old at this time, and her body posture was exactly the same as now. When she was sitting upright, her back was straight, but her side face was very fair and delicate, her eyelashes were extremely thick and long, and she looked more like a delicate and graceful girl than she does now. Sweet white porcelain vase.

Oh my god, this is really too cute.

Zhuang Qingliuhun stretched out her hands in a heartbeat, and after Mei Xiaohan fiddled with the strings of a lesson, she finally followed her gaze after listening to the lessons, and clearly saw the original Meihualan when she was a child... I also heard her soft voice.

"Brother, Xiaohan, let's go over there." In Lanyuan outside the study, Mei Hualan who had just finished learning the piano actually took out a piccolo from her arms with her backhand.

Zhuang Qingliu was overwhelmed by her childish voice on the spot, and at the same time looked at Mei Huazhou, who was almost identical to her, next to Mei Hualan. The child always looked alike when she was young, and Mei Huazhou was five years older than Mei Hualan. Looks like a teenager.

But they hadn't spoken yet, suddenly there were a few shouts from the side, and just now in class, polite and polite young boys jumped out of the orchid bushes, and laughed loudly: "Look at this solitary person, he really deserves to be in class!" Where are the two brothers and sisters who no one wants to see in their own Immortal Mansion?"

Most of these half-aged children wear golden silk white orchid robes. They are the children of the Lan family, but there are also many children from other families who also send their disciples to the Lan family to study. The most important thing is-there are also nine-petal plum family patterns Yes, a descendant of the Mei family.

Zhuang Qingliu frowned—according to the books she had read, Mei Hualan's siblings had very special backgrounds. The father of the two, Mei Zong, was originally a talented descendant of the Mei family, and he was the best choice for the future head of the family. Quite temperamental, he offended many people in his life, since he became an adult, he betrayed the family for some reason, and began to wander outside alone as a casual cultivator, and later met Mei Hualan's mother, and had two children with her. Children, quite a few years of happy days.

But not long after Mei Hualan was born, Mei Zong died because of being chased and killed. The head of the Mei family at that time, that is, Mei Ci, the uncle of the Mei Hualan brothers and sisters, went down the mountain from Meizhou and rescued the three surviving mother and child. However, he died accidentally because of this incident, so even though he was taken back to the Mei family for shelter, the situation of Mei Hualan's mother and son has always been very delicate.

Judging from the time, it was their cousin Mei Huaye who succeeded the head of the Mei family at this time. His father Mei Ci died because of saving the three of them. For a long period of time, the two brothers and sisters of Mei Hualan were actually quite isolated and cold-eyed in the Mei family, and they did not live smoothly since they were young.

Especially Mei Hualan, this person has never been able to refute since he was a child, and his personality is very introverted. When he sees someone making rude remarks, he just glances at it calmly, turns his head and said silently: "Let's go, brother."

Mei Huazhou didn't pay any attention to it either, and the brother and sister left Lanyuan together amidst the chaotic shouts behind him, but before turning the corner, Mei Xiaohan suddenly picked up his toe and hit the boy's face with a stone hard. back.

"Who hit me?!" Seeing that the usually arrogant boy turned around, the figures of the three brothers and sisters had already been abducted, and he began to fight with his side, "Is it you? It's you!"

……

The sound of despondency that started behind them gradually subsided. The Mei brothers and sisters found a spring where flowers and water flowed, each took out a flute and a piccolo from their arms, and began to play together.

Mei Xiao who didn't have anything in his hands said shabbyly: "You have them, but I don't."

Zhuang Qingliu hadn't gotten out of the chaotic emotions yet, and he didn't realize why Mei Xiaohan didn't.

At this time, Mei Hualan in her mind suddenly said: "Don't pay attention to those - now pay attention, there is a little boy on the left, that is Lan Song when he was a child."

After she finished speaking, Mei Xiaohan and the three of them by the river also looked over, and sure enough, they saw a young boy with Lan Song's appearance also coming to the opposite river, and took out a long tube from his arms, as if he was going to be here too. Playing practice.

Among the hundred families of Xianmen, the Lan family is very good at rhythm. It is rumored that just flying flowers and leaves can play fluttering fairy music, which is better than playing and singing. No one can compare with their family.But after Zhuang Qingliu listened for a while, he felt that Lan Song was already in his teens at this time, but his skills were very ordinary.

Mei Hualan said in the sea of ​​knowledge: "Lan Song's talent is actually average, but before he was 12 years old, the head of the Lan family didn't force him to think about him because he knew what to do. He just let him study normally. Yao, the young master has not inherited his aptitude, so Lan Song was delayed as the heir and started training."

She said, the brothers and sisters of Meihuazhou and Lan Song in the virtual world played the same song across the river as if they were in a ring, but the two of them learned the lyre in class, and they are also very proficient in playing the flute and piccolo after class. Xiao Yin, the young master of the Lan family who kept leaking, covered him up.

Zhuang Qingliu couldn't help feeling that the two siblings of the Mei family were so gifted since they were young that they could indeed make others jealous.This is a talisman made by a little inspiration, and the world is wasting Zhu and Mo in vain.

At this time, another group of idle youths followed after hearing the sound. The leader seemed to be a relative of the Lan family. Perhaps because of his high talent and similar status, he didn't take Lan Song seriously. Hit the water with a piece of stone, splashed Lan Song's face, and laughed loudly at the same time: "Will you blow it, will you blow it, eh? If you can't blow it, don't embarrass our Lan family! The two surnamed Mei can compare themselves to you and laugh at others."

Zhuang Qingliu thought, it turned out that Lan Song was ridiculed and ridiculed because of his lack of talent when he was a child.It seems that these immortal disciples didn't have a good time when they were young.

Lan Song, who was splashed with water on the stone by the river, seemed to hesitate for a moment, hid Chang Xiao in his sleeve, and said, "Lan Qi, what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to play voiceless music ten times in the Lan Room?"

"Isn't it because you complained too much?!"

The boy named Lan Qi had a look of displeasure on his face, and suddenly he crossed the river by pointing at the water plants. He raised his hand and pulled Chang Xiao out of Lan Song's arms: "Blow, blow, blow, what's there to blow off! It's from the old dream. Is Chao got a chance to be Chang Xiao? What are you showing off! It’s not because of your identity, do you think you can be selected by Young Master Zhuang into Gumengchao?!”

Seeing this, Zhuang Qingliu suddenly asked: "Mei Pan? The Young Master Zhuang they are talking about is me—"

Meihualan's voice seemed to contain some subtle emotions: "It's you."

Zhuang Qingliu's heart jumped inexplicably, and finally asked: "Then Gu Mengchao..."

"Your hometown."

Zhuang Qingliu said: "So what does this sentence mean?"

Mei Hualan paused for a moment this time, and said hesitantly: "So Mengchao is a paradise with a compelling aura, far surpassing all the places in the Baijia of Xianmen. Many people have gone there to study before."

"Is that so?" Zhuang Qingliu raised her eyebrows in surprise. Since it is a paradise, not everyone can go there, so she asked, "Shall I choose?"

Mei Hualan said: "Yes."

Zhuang Qingliu seemed to suddenly understand a lot of things in his heart, so he couldn't help thinking of something and asked: "So Pei Xuan, could it be that I didn't pick him before?"

Mei Hualan's voice was light: "His ability is average. It's fair for the outstanding ones to stand out."

"You were chosen by me too?"

"nature."

Zhuang Qingliu suddenly smiled, and wanted to pinch her face: "Then what I should value is not your excellence, but your cuteness when you were young."

At this time, Mei Xiaohan from outside the void sent a voice transmission to the two of them: "Hua Lan, Senior Zhuang, it's getting late, the wedding banquet is over, you should come out."

Zhuang Qingliu let out a "huh", and at the end, she did not forget to look at the cute little Meihualan, seeing that she put the piccolo back in her arms, she seemed to cherish and like it very much.

On the other side of the river, Lan Song was kicked into the water at the same time, terrified loudly, "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

The virtual world ended here, and finally the three brothers and sisters of the Mei family seemed to have participated in the past and picked up Lan Song, but Zhuang Qingliu had already returned to reality in an instant, and the noise in his ears buzzed.

Everyone in the Lantai Hall was walking out, the entrance was crowded for a moment, Mei Xiaohan sat in his seat unhurriedly, sipped a glass of wine and turned his head to ask: "How is it, Senior Zhuang, have you learned any skills?"

"Not at all." After Zhuang Qingliu reacted for a while, he turned his head and asked Mei Hualan next to him, "Mei Pan, where's your white jade piccolo? You obviously play it very well and like it very much, why haven't I seen you play it now? "

……

Mei Hualan turned to look at her with deep meaning in her eyes.

Mei Xiaohan snorted, as if thinking of something, and said, "Senior Zhuang, because you gave the jade flutes of Huazhou and Hualan, engraved with 'conquer people with virtue' and 'do if you don't accept' respectively, they When the two became adults, they felt too ashamed, so they couldn't take it out and hide it."

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

"????"
