Merry character

Ah Jiu didn't talk much, I talked a lot like a chatterbox, after realizing it, I looked at Ah Jiu's expression, seeing that he was not impatient, I immediately said happily: "Ah Jiu is really a good listener."

"Because it's you who said it."

I patted him on the shoulder, hooked his neck, and said with a smile: "Ah Jiu is really good at talking, buddy."

"Brother?" Ah Jiu looked puzzled.

I explained: "A buddy is a good brother."

"So that's how it is." Ah Jiu was thoughtful.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, I rushed up and said, "Ah Jiu, brother, I need your help with a favor."

"Tell me."

I paused, and said, "Just tell me if you want to help me."

Mei Jiu looked at me indifferently for a while, making me feel hopeless, so she said slowly, "Help."

My downhearted heart rose again, and I smiled and said to Mei Jiu, "Then thank you Ah Jiu first."

I was chatting happily with Mei Jiu when Zhu Shu suddenly reported that Miss Fourth had come.I was very puzzled, Liu Yuqing never came to my place, why did she come today?

I was about to go downstairs to the reception hall, but I heard from Zhushu that she had already gone upstairs.Not a second later, a woman's voice as clear as a yellow warbler came from outside the door.

"Brother, Yuqing has something to ask to see."

I said seriously: "What's wrong with Fourth Sister...?"

Before I finished asking, she had already pushed open the door and walked in, very beautifully dressed.At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he has already developed well and is slim and graceful.

Shui Shui's charming eyes first glanced around, and after seeing Mei Jiu, she shone brightly and shyly, lowered her head, then raised her head slightly, walked up to me swayingly, and said, "Sister, send my greetings to elder brother."

I said lightly: "Sister, you are being polite. I don't know why Fourth Sister is visiting today?"

"My sister composed a new piece of music a few days ago, and I want to play it for my elder brother Jian to listen to and advise."

I wondered: "My younger sister also knows that my elder brother is not very proficient in the piano, and my third brother is much better than me. My younger sister might as well go to my third brother."

"This……"

"Furthermore, my brother has male guests here. My sister's staying here for a long time may be harmful to her boudoir reputation."

"Brother, don't worry too much. Since this son is a friend of my brother, if he wants to be a gentleman and has an outstanding character, how can others misunderstand him." Listening to Liu Yuqing's words, he was dignified and elegant, but it was hard to hide his jade face, and his eyes flickered from time to time. Glancing at Mei Jiu, her daughter's little thoughts are all written on her face.

I looked at Mei Jiu and then at my fourth sister, feeling a bit embarrassed.If Mei Jiu is also interested, it's not easy for me to stop her.

Confused, Mei Jiu glanced at me, got up and walked to the window to look outside.

Does this mean that he is not interested in my sister?

I curled my lips and looked at Fourth Sister, only to see her staring at Mei Jiu's back with fascination.

How can this be good, neither can it hurt the pure heart of the girls, nor can it really promote them.

It's not easy to drive Yuqing away by force, so I have to give her a chance to show off.

I cleared my throat and said, "Since the fourth sister is interested, she will play and listen to it. Although the eldest brother is not very proficient in music theory, there are people who are proficient in the house and can appreciate it." ——Bamboo book, go get the piano , call Meiqin by the way."

Bamboo book went away in response.Mei Jiu, Liu Yuqing and I were left in the room.Liu Yuqing's full attention was on Mei Jiu, unknowingly, she lightly moved her lotus steps towards Mei Jiu.

I opened my mouth to scream, but she stopped.

I shook my head, deeply feeling that a boudoir girl is also very bold.But after thinking about it for a while, it's not surprising that Mrs. Liu was thick-skinned back then, so she just waited until she married Liu Chongyu.

"Hi Mr. Mei."

I looked at Liu Yuqing again, and she was already a fist distance away from Mei Jiu.

Mei Jiu turned her head slightly and said, "Miss Liu." Her voice was so indifferent that she was a different person from before.

Liu Yuqing bit her lip, her eyes were red.

I looked at the two of them, not knowing what to do.Fortunately, at this time, Zhushu came to fetch the qin, followed by Meiqin.

"Fourth sister, come here and try how the piano sounds."

Yuqing immediately suppressed her aggrieved expression, ran to the piano happily, touched it with her hand, and exclaimed: "Brother, this piano is really good."

"Where does Fourth Sister think it's better to play?"

"It's fine here."

***

The melodious sound of the piano is also pleasant to the ear. If the situation is not so right, I will definitely enjoy it.

Mrs. Liu used to be a talented woman covered in capital, and among them, she was the most praised for her piano skills.Under her guidance, Liu Yuqing was indeed quite skilled at playing the piano.

Looking at Mei Jiu who was sitting on my left, his face was as cold as Han Xue's, and he couldn't see how he felt about this song at all.

I frowned and was about to turn around when he looked over again, looking at me with questioning eyes.

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Don't you think it's good?"

"Not bad." Extremely cold and emotionless.

I asked in vain.

At the end of the song, Liu Yuqing glanced at Mei Jiu expectantly, then turned to me abruptly: "What do you think, brother?"

I nodded and praised sincerely: "Fourth younger sister has superb piano skills, and the music is moving!" Turning my head to look at Mei Qin, I said, "Mei Qin, tell me what you think about Fourth Miss' piece."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." Mei Qin said neither overbearing nor humble, "As Eldest Young Master said, Miss Fourth's piano skills are very superb, and the piece she composes is very beautiful, it is a top-grade piece of music."

Liu Yuqing didn't look at Mei Qin at all, but stubbornly looked at Mei Jiu and said, "I don't know what Mr. Mei thinks?"

Mei Jiu remained expressionless, and said coldly, "Very good." The cold air on Leng's face could reach a radius of about ten meters.

Liu Yuqing paused for a while, and finally seemed to have no choice, and finally left reluctantly.

I looked at Mei Jiu and reproached me: "Can't you be kinder to the little girl? It's too disrespectful. Besides, it's my sister, so it's too disrespectful."

Mei Jiu calmed down, and calmly highlighted three words: "I'm used to it."

I was stunned, he always treats girls like that?Could it be that he is too attractive, so he is used to rejecting people thousands of miles away with a cold face?

"What do you think?"

I corrected my joking expression and said, "Nothing."

***

In the evening, the afterglow filled the garden, and I was playing chess with Mei Jiu—not Go, but checkers for treasure hunting. Anong, the boy who was in charge of serving tea and water and making pastries, hurried over, not out of breath. Yun, bluffed: "Master, it's not good."

My Excellency took the chess piece, and asked in doubt: "Why is it not good?"

"It's spread all over the outside world, saying it is..." Anon glanced at Mei Jiu, his eyes flashed, hesitating and unable to speak.

I said anxiously: "Young Master Mei is not an outsider, just say it."

Anon hesitated again and again, and I was almost impatient, so I said with a look of giving it all up: "Young master, now the whole capital is spreading rumors that you have broken sleeves, and... you brought a beautiful man home, and you sit at the same table every day and eat, and sleep in the same bed."

I widened my eyes in astonishment, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses: "You said that now the whole capital is spreading the word that I am a broken sleeve?"

"Almost." Anon nodded, "All the restaurants and teahouses are talking about it."

Looking at Mei Jiu, he looked calm, and my excitement eased a little.After sorting out my thoughts, I wondered: "Do you know how this got out?"

Anon looked at Mei Jiu and me, with a strange look on his face.I frowned and scolded: "What are you thinking?"

Anon straightened his expression, and immediately said: "Back to the young master, I don't know the specific details, I just know that suddenly, the news spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital."

"Suddenly? When did it all start?"

"I didn't hear about it yesterday, but it spread today."

"Master, it seems that someone is deliberately spreading rumors, but they don't know what they want?" Duobao looked solemn.

"Master, what are we going to do now?" Anon looked positive, as if he was going to refute the rumors as soon as I gave an order.

I shook my head and said expressionlessly, "There's no need to do anything."

"Master..." Duobao disapproved.

I said: "It's not a big deal, don't worry about it. Let's see what will happen next? That's probably the purpose of those spreading rumors."

Putting this matter behind me, I continued to play chess with Mei Jiu.

After a lot of trading, I finally understood.Mei Jiu can throw it wherever he wants to go every time, but he just hangs on me and moves unhurriedly. In the end, he always wins.How naive it was at first that I lamented how close I was to winning.

Throwing the chess piece, I stared at Mei Jiu and said, "Is there anything I can definitely beat you?"

"Yes." Mei Jiu looked very sure.

"Why don't I know, what is it?"

Mei Jiu smiled without saying a word.

I curled my lips, thinking he was comforting me, so I stopped asking.Looking at the sky, the sun has been setting for a while.

"Duobao, order someone to serve dinner."

"Yes, young master." Duobao's voice came from afar, full of air.

This is the strength of a master, the ear can hear far, and the sound can be transmitted far.
