As for her father's idea, the system didn't even wait for Meiberry to ask the system whether this would work. The system told Meiberry to give up her father's idea.
[If your family runs away with the heroine, can the heroine still be called the heroine? 】
The system asked Mayberry angrily.
[Ah, can our family beg the heroine to take us on a run? 】
System: [That’s not impossible, she is the heroine after all. 】
Boy, this system has enough double standards.
[Then just think that we are begging the heroine to let her run with us. 】
system:? ? ?
Who are you talking about?
[Anyway, we just ask the hostess to do things, so don’t worry about what we ask her to do. 】
Meiberry's words made the system so angry that it lost the words to refute. It was dumbfounded.
Is that what you said? !
Why does it think there's something wrong with this statement?
Seeing that the system was silent, Mayberry snickered secretly.
Although her father's opinion was a temporary suggestion from above, the system actually rejected it directly as if it were from above.
Then don't blame Meiberry for making this rookie system shut down directly.
As expected, artificial intelligence cannot defeat a living person.
It’s really quick to go to the county by water.
In less than an hour, Meiberry saw a dock larger than Lihu Town appearing in front of her.
The magnificent pier and port were like a mirage. In addition to the pier, there were also a series of lively markets that vaguely appeared in front of Mayberry's eyes.
It wasn't until she got off the dock that Meiberry realized that the dock in Jinbai County was close to the county seat.
Because of the cargo ships coming and going at the pier, a lively market has formed here stretching from the pier to the entrance to the county town.
A dazzling array of goods from the north and south are piled on the stalls on both sides, dazzling everyone who has just come here.
Mei Youqian: "There is a tea vendor. Oh, and there is fermented bean curd!"
Mei Bei was so fascinated by it that she just couldn't talk about it, but her father was different. He saw it and had to express his excitement in words.
"Wow, look, my dear! Pearls! Is this the facial mask pearl powder your mother has been lurking in?"
Mayberry: "..."
"Let's... go in first."
Mei Mei took a deep breath and was no longer confused by the colorful world in front of her. She dragged her father into the city and went to the bank to exchange money according to what Mr. Xue said.
However, Mei Berry only exchanged 50 taels of cash this time, and the remaining 450 taels had to be exchanged by the bank for nine small denominations of 50 taels each.
The father and daughter left in a hurry, with both hands empty. If they exchanged the money directly for five hundred taels, how embarrassing would it be when they went out?
"Daughter, let's... go for a walk?"
After leaving the bank, Mei Youqian, who had been wanting to buy something for a long time, was rubbing his hands impatiently and staring at his daughter with bright eyes.
Seeing this, Mei Bei took out a list from the space that her mother had made yesterday and said: "Mom said, buy according to the list. After buying, we can buy what we want to buy, but Personal consumption is not allowed to exceed five taels."
"Okay, that fermented bean curd costs 50 yuan a can. The boss also said that the price can be negotiated if the quantity is large~"
Mayberry:? ?
Her dad took the money just to buy fermented bean curd?
Wait, when did her dad ask someone for the price?
Just when Mayberry was confused, a clear male voice came from behind them:
"Second brother?"
In this regard, Mei Youqian and Mei Pei only thought that there were so many people on the road and they were not calling their own, so they did not look back and continued to move forward. They first bought the things her mother told them.
It wasn't until the hurried footsteps behind them got closer and closer, and then the words "Mei Erniu?" that the father and daughter turned around.
Turning around, Mayberry immediately recognized who this person was.
Yo~ Isn’t this her fourth uncle?
The fourth son of the Mei family, Mei Yang.
"Ah, fourth child, why are you here!?"
Mei Youqian's voice was surprisingly loud, and there was a little uncertainty in Mei Yang's voice when he stepped forward to call him. The moment Mei Yang saw him open his mouth, people passing by couldn't help but cast doubtful glances.
Mei Yang frowned subconsciously when he saw this, and took two steps back, his eyes wandering as if he wanted to draw a clear line.
Just like that, you still have to come up and say hello, yue!
Mei Youqian couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart.
Even Mayberry couldn't complain about this pretentiousness.
"Second brother, why are you bringing... Sanya here?"
Noticing that the adults and children in front of him looked at him with unflattering expressions, Mei Yang tightened the folding fan in his hand, and his eyes fell on Mei Youqian and Mei Berry again, with a business-like fake smile on his face.
He looked at Mei Mei and Mei Youqian from head to toe. He saw that the clothes of the father and daughter were still wearing the lowest quality fabrics, but they were clean and tidy and had no patches.
This is far different from Mei Yang's dirty look and ragged appearance at home.
"I'm taking my daughter here for a stroll. What do you have in mind?"
"Ah...I'm not..." Mei Yang waved his hands quickly.
When the two brothers were communicating, Mei Berry just kept staring at Mei Yang.
He has a fair face, wears a silk gown favored by scholars, and wears thick-soled cloth boots. It can be seen that he doesn't go out much on weekdays, and the soles of his shoes are very clean.
Her fourth uncle lived such a magical life.
The folding fan he held in his hand also had flowers and birds painted on it. Although Mei Berry had no experience in Chinese painting, it could be seen that the fan was of good quality.
There is even a jade pendant hanging on his waist. Although the jade pendant is not big, it is better because of its smooth texture.
There seemed to be words engraved on the jade pendant, but it was a bit far away, so Mei Berry didn't recognize what was engraved on it.
As if aware of Mei Berry's gaze, Mei Yang turned sideways, and the folding fan swayed in the direction of Mei Berry's gaze towards the jade pendant. Mei Yang immediately withdrew her gaze.
Hey, her fourth uncle is still a stingy person.
Mei Bei thought about it, then looked away, and tugged on the clothes on her father's back with her hands, asking him to get Mei Yang away quickly to avoid ruining her mood.
Seeing that Mei Bei no longer looked at him, Mei Yang looked at Mei Youqian again and asked slightly tentatively: "Second brother, I heard... that your family has been separated?"
"Heard? Who said it? Do you still need to hear about this?"
Instead of answering Mei Yang's question, Mei Youqian only asked him who he heard this from, which made Mei Yang very embarrassed.
"Big brother and dad were here before..."
"Oh, that's what my family said. So can dad tell you that you can still lie about this kind of thing?"
Mei Youqian seemed to be unable to see Mei Yang's embarrassment, and said, "Fourth child, are you stupid because of studying? You don't even believe what dad says?"
"No! I didn't!"
When it comes to reading, I don’t know if it’s because of repeated attempts over the years. Mei Yang is particularly sensitive to this aspect. He was so graceful before, but when he heard this, he had a smile on his face just now. Cracked instantly.
"Oh, then there won't be any."
Mei Youqian shrugged, showing that he didn't care, but this look made Mei Yang feel that he was just saying no, and he was wondering how to laugh at himself.
Mei Yang's appearance is probably the most similar to Zhang's among the four brothers, so after talking for a few words, Mei Youqian felt like he was chatting with Zhang.
Mei Youqian didn't want to continue chatting with him. He was afraid that he might make the fourth child angry like his mother.
Hey, after all, he wasn't the only one who was embarrassed after causing it.
But if he offends his fourth son, they won't be able to knock on the door of the Mei family's old house, and he will be annoyed to death!
"By the way, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Will you go home to celebrate the festival?"
"Return."
"Oh, are you going back today or tomorrow? Do you want to come with us? We are not familiar with this county just now. Do you want to take me with you, Fourth..."
"My husband has something else to do, so I'll excuse you for now."
After listening to Mei Youqian's words, Mei Yang immediately turned around and left as if something was urgent.
If they continue to listen to this, Mei Laoer might ask him to take them around the county town.
Really, if his classmates saw him, he would have to say it for a while!
Seeing Mei Yang leaving in despair, Mei Youqian curled his lips and said, "That's it. I'm afraid I won't get any benefits if I become a scholar. Sure enough, it's best if we separate the family as soon as possible!"
Jinbai County, a certain courtyard in Xie's Mansion.
"Come on, try the rice dumplings. They are both salty and sweet. You can choose your own if you like."
Lin Shoucai's round, friendly face appeared in front of the three and four people.
The four of them were packing their bags when they saw Lin Shoucai taking the rice dumplings without any courtesy, then peeled them off and ate them immediately.
"Well, these rice dumplings are delicious!" Jia San's eyes suddenly lit up after taking a bite, and he asked, "Yi Yi, where did this rice dumpling come from?"
"I asked someone to make it. My master is also here, and many brothers are here, so I found someone who can make rice dumplings to make a lot of rice dumplings for everyone to have a good festival~"
Lin Shoucai smiled and looked at the four young men in front of him who were much younger than him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard that they were going to be sent to Xianyao Prefecture to make meritorious service for the mistakes they had made before.
The tasks of people with names B and A have always been very different, and he was not sure what mistakes A and three had made.
It's just that the whipping he received before leaving was probably not a small mistake.
"The folk customs in Xianyao are fierce, and it is one of the poorest among the four states in the North. Except for Hanzhou, it has the worst environment. You must be extremely careful when you go there this time."
"Yeah, I know." Jia Si finished eating a rice dumpling stuffed with pork, then reached for another with pork stuffed and shiitake mushrooms, and said before he even put it into his mouth,
"This time, the King of Qi deducted his military pay and pretended to be a merchant to go north, hoping to make a lot of money from Xianyao and Hanzhou, which were hit hard by the snowstorm last year. This was discovered by Prince Gu and caused such a big commotion.
King Qi was also ruthless. After being exposed, he sent people to hunt down Gu Shizi and at the same time killed all the merchants who helped him transport grain and grass.
It’s really like cutting the grass and roots without leaving any one behind! In the end, he found a bandit from Xianyao as a scapegoat to smooth over the incident. It was really...how could such a person exist! "
Jia Si could not continue talking as he stuffed half a rice dumpling into his mouth and almost choked to death.
After hearing this, Person B quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Person A.
"By the way, A is back and is answering the master's question. Do you want to see him before he leaves?"
In the setting, the world of Dacheng is divided into seventeen states, with four states in each direction. Hmm~ Some customs and customs settings are being completed little by little. I actually listened to the words of some supporting characters and passers-by. After collecting them, I found out that some of the information in them is quite interesting~
