When Gao Xian arrived at Mei Mansion, it was already getting late.
The dinner at Mei Mansion has been passed around, and now the masters of each house have gone back to rest.
The housekeeper said he wanted to report back to the grand master, but Gao Xian quickly said no. He didn't say anything else, but he looked secretly excited, which seemed like he had something good to do. In addition, he was generous and took twenty taels of silver notes.
He gave it to the housekeeper and lowered his voice: "I'm here to see my junior sister. I want to say a few words before going to see the master."
The housekeeper held the banknote in surprise, feeling uneasy and said quickly: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Gao Xian continued: "I asked Mr. Lu to be a matchmaker, and he has agreed. But I have to tell my junior sister first so as not to scare her."
The butler said in disbelief: "Lu Yunhong, Mr. Lu?"
Gao Xian nodded proudly: "I just came from Lu Mansion."
The housekeeper opened his mouth in shock, and then remembered that their family had some quarrels with the Lu family recently. Although the people in the Lu family didn't care about it, if Mr. Lu came to discuss the marriage in person, their master would agree to it no matter what.
The housekeeper was silent for a while, and then whispered: "Master Gao, follow me."
Mei Min's small courtyard is in the garden of Taishi Mansion. When you enter through the moon arch, you can already see the lights on under the eaves. The lotus pond is dimly illuminated, and the shadows of fish occasionally flash, making it feel like the starry sky has fallen into the sea.
.
In addition, the pavilion on the left is blocked by the shade of the trees, and a faint light shines from it, making it mysterious as if it is waiting for someone to find out.
Gao Xian walked to the pavilion like a gentleman and said to the housekeeper: "I'll be waiting here. Could you please go and inform me."
Seeing that he was quite polite, the housekeeper nodded and went to knock on the door.
The person who responded was Mei Min's nanny, surnamed Kong, who had taken care of her since she was a child. However, this nanny Kong always thought highly of herself and was not easy to talk to.
The housekeeper cleared his throat and said bravely: "Fan Tongzhen, Master Gao Xian is here and wants to meet the young lady."
When Grandma Kong heard this from inside, her hairs stood up, and she scolded: "What a shameless guy, and he doesn't even look at what time it is? He wants to come to see our lady so late at night, is he crazy?"
?”
The housekeeper was so embarrassed that he was about to explain when he heard Mei Min asking, "What happened?"
The housekeeper said quickly: "Miss, Mr. Gao just came from the Lu family and said he wanted to meet you."
With a "bang" sound, the door was forcefully opened.
Almost caught off guard, Grandma Kong was startled. She shouted in panic: "Miss, you can't go, it will harm your reputation."
Mei Min looked over gloomily and said coldly: "Is it in the way? This is the Mei Mansion. If it's in the way, then what are you still doing?"
The hostility that rushed towards her was so frightening that Grandma Kong did not dare to speak. Even the housekeeper, who had witnessed such big scenes, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Their young lady seems to be getting more and more irritable.
At the same time, Mei Min said to the housekeeper: "Look at them, don't let them come out and embarrass themselves."
The housekeeper nodded in response, and he and Grandma Kong were inside and outside the door. They looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
The two maids in the room heard this, and when they walked to the door and saw that something was wrong, they were both stunned.
In the pavilion, a lone lamp was on.
Because this place is so secluded and dark that you don't even notice it during the day, but at night it's a little out of sight, like a tryst place deliberately set aside.
Because Gao Xian was nervous, his palms were sweaty and his cheeks were very red.
Although there is some element of calculation in wanting to marry Mei Min, it is undeniable that he also really likes her.
But when Mei Min came, she was filled with unoffended strength. She glanced at Gao Xian, not taking him seriously at all, and just said coldly: "What did Lu Yunhong tell you?"
Gao Xian frowned and explained: "Xiao Min, I want to call you Mr. Lu."
Mei Min sneered coldly, turned away, and said impatiently: "Whatever I want to be called is my business. If you don't tell me, get out of here. My parents are already so old, is it possible that you still want to be called me?"
Are they worried about the mess you caused?"
Gao Xian knew that she had misunderstood, and said quickly: "That's not true. Xiao Min, Mr. Lu agreed to help me come to Mei's house to propose marriage."
"I'm here..."
"What did you say?" Mei Min raised her voice, looking in disbelief.
Gao Xian thought she was shocked, but in his heart he felt that she was not. But he couldn't care so much and said quickly: "Master Lu, he wants to help me."
Mei Min felt a fire burning all over her body instantly. Her eyes were red and she roared angrily: "Help you? Gao Xian, who do you think you are? Are you really the number one scholar who can rival Lu Yunhong?"
"Why do people think so highly of you? Why do they help you? Do you know he wants to harm me?"
"Bah, what don't you know? Aren't you just making this idea?"
"Gao Xian, let me tell you, stop dreaming. I, Mei Min, will be a monk and an aunt in my life. I will never marry, and I will never marry you!"
After Mei Min yelled, she still stared at Gao Xian angrily. In her eyes, Gao Xian was as disgusting as a wriggling maggot!
At this time, Gao Xian had already been shocked by Mei Min's excited curses.
He couldn't believe that he, a dignified fourth-rank official, could help the emperor choose a teacher for the prince, and was valued by the grand master of the dynasty. But all these things were nothing in Mei Min's eyes?
She looks down on him so much!
Gao Xian felt a chill in his heart, like an ice pick piercing him. He was instantly overwhelmed by the pain, and a nameless resentment burned.
He looked up at Mei Min, sneered in her disdainful and disgusting eyes, and laughed at himself: "Is this how you see me, that I am worthless?"
Hearing this, Mei Min was disgusted and said: "You are wrong. In my eyes, useless people are not as disgusting as you. Because they are useless because they have no ability, and you have already obtained an official position through our Mei family and have a bright future."
, what else are you dissatisfied with? How dare you want to marry me? "
"The toad should just sit in the well and watch the sky, and don't come out and embarrass yourself!"
"Shut up!!" Mrs. Li roared, because she had just arrived and she didn't know what happened?
But no matter what it was, given the relationship between Gao Xian and the Mei family, it was too much for his daughter to say this.
But Mei Min didn't feel it at all. She even snorted coldly and looked away indifferently, completely ignoring Gao Xian's pale face.
When Mrs. Li came closer, Gao Xian didn't even have the energy to explain. He felt like he had been beaten with a sack and all his bones were broken. He was supported only by his body, but he felt that every part of his body was broken.
In pain.
More than twenty years of hard work, so many years of diligent communication. Even after knowing that there was a rift between the Mei Family and the Lu Family, they worked non-stop to reconcile.
Even his wife, who had always disliked him, changed her view of him because of this incident. But Mei Min, who only wanted to keep warm, actually looked at him this way.
Toad!
Hahahahahahaha...he is actually a toad!
Gao Xian, Gao Xian, how many people say you are glamorous and beautiful, just waiting to soar into the sky.
How many people flatter you and call you a "great man", just waiting for you to reveal a little bit of information to make them take sides?
But so what if thousands of people support you, there will always be someone you care about the most, but who also looks down on you the most and hurts you the most.
