[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

Siqi and Liu Mei couldn't see each other from the beginning to the end, and they were trying their best to argue with each other.

It's just that deep down in their hearts, they probably feel that there are a little or two things they admire in each other, but they can't really put down their faces and appreciate each other.

Finally, the turmoil in the small kitchen subsided, Liu Mei helped her mother to tidy up everything, and repeatedly told her not to miss the newly established "rules", so she left and returned to Yihong Courtyard.

At night, Liu Mei was lying on the couch, dreaming in a daze. After a while, she saw that Siqi insisted on marrying Pan Youan, but the family refused, and Siqi was going to hit the pillar to seek death. Pan Youan suddenly went out to save her, but suddenly Become Jiang Yuhan's appearance, stop the attacker, and prevent her from seeking death...

This dreamland is chaotic, Liu Mei can clearly feel that the surroundings are so unreal, but she still can't wake up——

Suddenly, the scene in front of him changed again, and there were large swathes of blood red...

Only now did Liu Mei know why Chef Shao's face was full of fear when he used the four words "blood flowed like a river" to describe what happened at Iron Net Mountain in Hongshun Building that day.Anyone in the world who saw the situation in front of him would have nightmares from time to time——

Liu Mei's nightmare was just such a massacre.On the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, there are still people who are desperately trying to survive, but they are killed one by one by the soldiers who came forward to inspect.

Iron Net Mountain was originally a execution ground.

In front of this huge execution ground, Shi Qing, whose face was as heavy as water, immediately slashed his sword, his eyes were sharp, and he was as cold as a god of death.

Whenever a soldier came forward to ask for instructions, Shi Qing only nodded slightly, and in a short while there would be a mournful howl.

Liu Mei was completely stunned. Even in her dream, she tightly hugged her lips with both hands to prevent her exclamation from blurting out.At the same time, her heart seemed to be crushed tightly by a huge rock, sinking continuously.

I don't know how long it took, but the cry of grief gradually faded away.I saw Xiao Huangmen coming over with the order, and Shiqing dismounted to receive the order.He probably received the will of praise, stood up, and nodded to the soldiers following behind him, and the latter broke out into a grand cheer, compared with the countless souls who had already died behind them, the contrast was really sharp.

All of a sudden, the execution ground and the soldiers disappeared, leaving only Yu Shiqing in front of Liu Mei.Liu Mei saw a cold arrow shot from a distance, hitting Shiqing's back heart.Liu Mei couldn't control it anymore, exclamations overflowed from her mouth, but Shi Qing had disappeared, and Liu Mei was alone in this world...

In an instant, Liu Mei felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if being gouged out by a knife.

She was obviously just a strange man whom she had only met a few times, and she also knew that his hands had been stained with the blood of countless people, but she always felt that because of that special connection between herself and the other party... that's why she could empathize with him.

Liu Mei covered her heart, turned over from the couch and sat up, only felt a heart almost beating in her throat, and her head and body were covered with cold sweat.At this point, she realized that she had broken free from the dream.

She gasped for a moment, trying to mentally call her system.As with many previous calls, she received no response from the system.

Liu Mei was sitting on the couch, the moonlight was like water, shining brightly in front of her couch from the window.Liu Mei sat with her knees hugged for a long time and made a decision.

She decided to find out everything about Prince Zhongshun.

As a little maid, in this garden, if she wanted to inquire about Shiqing's affairs, the best person to turn to was her titular master, Jia Baoyu, in the Yihong Courtyard where she lived.

"Mei'er, why do you want to know this?" Baoyu asked in surprise after hearing Liu Mei's invitation.

"I know a friend, and I kind of want to go to Zhongshun Palace as an errand. It's just that I don't know much about the situation of the man above that mansion, so I asked me to inquire about it."

Baoyu didn't doubt him, "It's simple, I'll go out and ask those Qing customers. It's just Meier, what do you want to know?"

Liu Mei was very firm, "Everything about him, especially the past."

Hearing the word "old things", Baoyu's face became a little dark, but he still nodded and accepted her request.

Two days later, Baoyu secretly called Liu Mei to her room and told Liu Mei what she had learned.

According to the rumors in the world, this "Prince of Loyalty and Obedience" has nothing more than two characteristics, one is "bloodthirsty" and the other is "delicious".

"Slaughter" refers to Shiqing's dark history: As a royal family, he is neither a descendant nor an elder, he has always only led the errands of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment.However, ten years ago, because of his great contribution in the case of Iron Net Mountain, he was hand-picked by Jinshang, and promoted from the county king to the prince.

But because there are many doubts about the Tiewangshan case, there are still people trying to overturn the case, so they regard Shiqing as a big enemy.Over the past ten years, the prince has been assassinated many times.

The most dangerous time was three or four years ago, when someone secretly shot a cold arrow in the back of the prince. At that time, the imperial doctor clearly believed that he would die, but he gradually rescued him.

Liu Mei couldn't help bowing her head when she heard this.Three or four years ago, it was almost the day when she came to this world.According to what the system said before, the current Prince Zhongshun is its clone, which has nothing to do with the prototype, but inherits everything from the prototype.Now that she heard about these things, Liu Mei began to feel that maybe the current "Shiqing" came to this world with her.

As for "delicious", Liu Mei has already experienced it - this person is not only "delicious", but also "knows how to eat", and he is even very picky about eating. If it weren't for his high position and authority, I am afraid that few cooks in the world would be willing Serve him.

"Meier," Baoyu saw Liu Mei's eyes contemplating, "I have a word, I ask you to give it to your 'friend'—if you have other choices, don't go to Prince Zhongshun's house as an errand! After all, the prince I made countless enemies back then, if I stay with that person, I'm afraid I'll be vulnerable to disaster."

Liu Mei's heart moved when she heard this, and she raised her head to look at Baoyu, only to see that the other party was looking at her with infinite concern, as if she had already guessed that her "friend" was nothing at all.

In fact, there is another point that Baoyu has never been ashamed to tell Liu Mei—that is, it is widely rumored that the loyal and obedient prince is good at being masculine.Earlier, when Jiang Yuhan was raised in Prince Zhongshun's mansion, such rumors were even more serious, and it was only said that Jiang Yuhan was the prince's confinement.Recently, Jiang Yuhan disappeared, and there were rumors that Shiqing became jealous, and after inquiring about Jiang Yuhan's whereabouts, he immediately arrested him and returned him to the house, and never allowed him to show his face again.Everyone spoke these gossips with a nose and eyes, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

"Second Master Bao, do you...among the friends you know from outside, are there any people related to the Iron Net Mountain case?" Liu Mei thought of Jiang Yuhan's trio, and asked Baoyu back.

Baoyu hadn't thought of this, and immediately frowned upon hearing this, contemplating for a long time, and finally said: "Mei'er, I understand what you mean. They...they...ah..."

Baoyu finally didn't go on with those words, but just sighed.Liu Mei guessed secretly, thinking that Baoyu should have understood her meaning, guessed that Jiang Yuhan, Feng Ziying and others were related to the old incident, and tried to seek revenge from Prince Zhongshun.

It's just that now that Jiang Yuhan, Feng Ziying and others have fled, Baoyu, as the son of the Rongguo Mansion, must take the same stand as the Rongguo Mansion, so he probably has no choice at this moment.

"Second Master!" The attacker outside greeted him, and he probed into Baoyu's room to have a look, and saw Liu Mei standing obediently a foot away from Baoyu, with a piece of Hui ink in his hand, slowly grinding it in the inkstone.

The attacker said "Oh" and said, "So it's Mei'er. I thought Si'er was here."

Liu Mei took the opportunity to put down the ink stick in her hand, and said to Baoyu, "Second Master, I'm going to work in the small kitchen. Is there anything Second Master wants to eat today?"

Baoyu thought for a long time and said, "I want to eat something sour—"

Liu Mei immediately nodded and said, "Okay, a bowl of sour soup made with old vinegar. Second Master, look at it!"

Xiren was dumbfounded as he listened, until Liu Mei went out, and Baoyu gave a "chi" smile behind him, Xiren came to his senses, blushed immediately, and said coquettishly, "Second Lord!"

The days have passed without any surprises for a while, and it has already entered winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder.Yihong Courtyard leaves the gate early every day, and everyone plays for a while before going to bed early.

On this day, just as Liu Mei rushed back from the small kitchen, the gate of Yihong Courtyard was locked.Jia Hui yawned and said to Liu Mei: "Remember to come back early next time, I will leave the door open for you every day."

Liu Mei asked strangely: "Aren't you going to play leaf cards with them, why are you going to sleep so early?"

Beside him, Bihen pointed at her with a funny face: "You don't know, she lost a few games in a row yesterday, and she was so angry that she didn't sleep all night, so naturally she is not energetic today."

Bihen came up to pull Liumei enthusiastically, "If she doesn't come, you play with us, little Liuer!"

Liu Mei had been busy for a whole day, and now she just wanted to fall asleep, so she naturally declined Bihen's invitation.Bihen refused, and the two of them were grinding, only to hear a rapid knock on the door of Yihong Courtyard: "Is Liu Mei here?"

It was Ping'er's voice.

The little girls couldn't help but look at each other, Ping'er Kui Ye came to this garden, and came here on a special trip to look for Liu Mei, I don't know why.

Xiren was always on good terms with Ping'er, when he heard the sound, he put on a small jacket and rushed out, pointing at the little girl and pulling open the gate of the courtyard.Liu Mei saw Ping'er and Xiao Hong standing at the door, both of them were wearing big hairy clothes, and Xiao Hong was carrying a big bag in her hand.A woman was holding a lantern and stood beside the two of them.

"Mei'er, Second Lian|Grandma has an urgent matter, and I want you to come out of the garden to help." Ping'er has always been steady, and it is the same today.When she said this, she looked at Xi Ren.

Xiren naturally nodded in response. "Naturally, Meier, you just go to the second master's place, and I will tell you naturally."

But Liu Mei noticed that Lin Xiaohong next to Ping'er was frowning, with anxious eyes in her eyes—Liu Mei thought, I'm afraid this is not a trivial matter, otherwise Xiaohong would not have begged Ping'er to come into the garden late at night to find someone .

She nodded, "I'll come as soon as I put on a jacket!"

"No," Lin Xiaohong said hastily, "It's too late. Meier, I brought you big woolen clothes, we're leaving now!"

Liu Mei was even more surprised, while Lin Xiaohong was trying to wink at her.Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Liu Mei naturally had no reason to stand idly by, she just nodded to Xiren Bihen and the others, turned around and followed Xiaohong out the door.

The weather was very clear tonight, but the cold wind was whistling like a sharp blade, blowing past Liu Mei's face and ears, Liu Mei couldn't help shivering.Xiaohong quickly took out a big woolen dress and put it on Liu Mei.

"I thought you were just talking, but I didn't expect to bring me clothes." Liu Mei thanked Xiaohong.

Lin Xiaohong smiled and said, "There are more clothes than these. I'll change them for you when you get in the car."

Liu Mei raised her eyebrows, thinking: Why do you still have to get in the car?Isn't Sister Feng's yard just outside the garden?

The real situation is, not only to get in the car, but also to change clothes.

Ping'er took Xiaohong and Liumei out from the corner gate of the Grand View Garden, showed the waist badge to the porter of Rongfu, and sent Xiaohong and Liumei to a cart parked outside the gate.

Xiao Hong waved at Ping'er, and said, "Sister Ping'er, I really don't need to disturb grandma, it won't be too late to tell her about it tomorrow morning."

Liu Mei raised her own eyebrows: What, Ping'er and the others used Sister Feng's name to trick themselves out, but Sister Feng herself didn't know?

Ping'er looked at Xiaohong, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I'm sensible."

So Xiao Hong lowered the curtain of the cart, and Liu Mei heard the sound of hooves, and the carriage she was in moved forward.

Before Xiao Hong could explain anything to Liu Mei, she immediately went to untie the package she was carrying with her, and shook out a whole set of man's robes, besides that, there were combs and other things.

Xiao Hong rushed forward to untie Liu Mei's hair, but Liu Mei hurriedly shook her hand and said, "What's going on, what's going on, what are you going to do, Hong'er?"

"Mei'er, time is running out, I will clean up for you and explain to you at the same time."

As she said that, Lin Xiaohong's subordinates kept on taking off Liu Mei's usual long braid, tied the shorter hair on her sideburns into a small braid, and then put it on the top of her hair to form a big braid with a stone blue color. Weave it with a long rope, and finally press a small jade pendant on the foot.

"Are you going to disguise me as a man?" Liu Mei asked in surprise.

"Yes, if you don't dress up as a man, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the tea garden." Xiaohong replied straightforwardly.

Ming Garden?Liu Mei had never heard of it.

Lin Xiaohong was extremely proficient, she took off all the women's robes Liu Mei was wearing, leaving only the inner garment, then stared at Liu Mei's body, nodded and said: "Very good, less trouble, no need to corset."

Liu Mei hurriedly put her arms on her chest, looked at Xiaohong with a depressed face, and thought: Are you praising her or scolding her?

Now Liu Mei's figure has not been opened yet, her chest is still relatively flat, and it is winter season, and she is wearing heavy clothes, after Xiaohong's tidying up like this, she is already like a handsome young man, which is amazing Can't make out the shape of the woman.

Once Lin Xiaohong finished tidying Liu Mei, she immediately modified it by herself—her hands and feet were very nimble, presumably she did this often, practice makes perfect.

"Xiaohong, where is Mingyuan? You brought me out of the mansion in such a hurry, and you want to pretend to be a man. Why?"

At this moment, the light in the cart was dim, Liu Mei couldn't see Lin Xiaohong's expression clearly, she could only hear her seriously: "Master Shao is going to die soon, so I ask you to come out and help me!"

The author has something to say: Xiaohong’s hairstyle for men with Liumei, refer to the braid that Xiangyun combed for Baoyu in Chapter 21, so although the Red Chamber is an overhead work, boys wear braids. For specific hairstyles, you can refer to 87 The version of the TV series is self-associated.

PS Yesterday, after reading the language questions for the college entrance examination in province Z, I realized that I hadn’t written about grass carp, nor had I written about fish with a strange light in their eyes... so I should be considered a more conscientious author... right?
