Not only was Mei You speechless, but also Wei Meili and Mei Youqian, who came back from a trip, were speechless when they found out about the incident where Mei Mei was "bored" and had to throw away a bundle of ropes.
Mei Youqian still wants to keep more than ten meters of rope for future use~
It was good this time. Mayberry was sent away in a wave, except for getting a piece of useless news - there was a secret tunnel made of iron cables under the hillside in their backyard.
Recently, after the group of black-clad officials left Yunzhou Prefecture, Yunzhou Prefecture became lively again.
Mei Mei and Mei You stayed at home, put on their silk hats, and led their mules out of the city and down the mountain at dawn.
The weather is getting warmer, and the goods shipped from the south are gradually becoming more diverse.
A few days ago, Mei Bei's father boldly went down the mountain before those people left, and bought ten kilograms of spring tea shipped from the south at the bustling dock market.
After learning that her husband bought ten kilograms of tea for almost twenty taels of silver, Wei Meili angrily chased her father around the house several times with a rolling pin.
Whoever has money doesn't mean they behave like this?
Who can drink ten pounds of tea a year?
At that time, Mei Youqian immediately asked Mei Bei to collect nine kilograms of tea in the space, and then explained seriously that he was afraid that he would not drink it for a long time.
This Mei Berry can understand, but her father's money for buying tea is really outrageous. Ten kilograms of tea cost almost twenty taels?
What kind of tea is this?
When she arrived at the market today, she went out of her way to verify the reason her father had said at that time.
"As my father explained, they are all traded with the grassland. No wonder, the ones sold here are rare and expensive. Not only tea, but also many other items are not cheap."
The empty basket in Mayberry's hand after asking around proved everything.
"Why, you didn't buy anything at all?"
Meiyou asked, and Meiberry also looked at her basket, which contained a lot of dried meat.
"No. The things are all very good, but they are super expensive. Many businessmen stay here for a short time, and then go to Yanzhouguan City to sell them to the prairie people and make a lot of money!"
"Do you listen to them?"
Mei You glanced at Mei Bei, and then gathered the dried meats in the basket. She seemed to be planning to buy something else. When she heard Mei Bei's words, she said, "Didn't you bargain?"
Mayberry: Eh 0.0?
"Forget it, I will bring my aunt over next time. I wonder if she will go back and scold my second uncle again after shopping."
Seeing that Mei Bei still didn't react, Mei You shook his head and sighed.
"If you go to Caiyuanguan City to do business, you can make a lot of money. How can you stay here and sell you such a small amount?"
"look."
Meiyou twitched her chin, and Meibei looked towards the edge of the pier.
There were several super large ships parked there, and the boatmen were constantly getting on and off, seemingly delivering water and supplies to the ships.
There were a few more well-dressed people on the deck, who were standing on the boat with no intention of getting off.
"That's the one going to Caiyuanguan City. Their ship only stops here for repairs, and then goes directly to the dock in Yanzhou. Most of the people who stay here take the land route out of the customs and go to Hanzhou and Xianyao. Doing business in the state."
In the upper section of the Jinlan River, there is a dam built in the Xianyaozhou section. Beyond the Yunzhou section, it is not suitable for water transportation.
When Meiyou said this, Meiberry was dumbfounded.
"You mean I was, ah no, my father was cheated?"
Mom!
Is her father deceived like her?
"Okay, we are all new here, and it is really easy to get tricked by this twist and turn."
Although she clearly wanted to comfort Mei Qiu, Mei You was getting more and more worried as she spoke.
We have just arrived, how come the heroine is so smart?
Mei Bei looked at Mei You with her faint eyes. She pulled her hat with her hand to cover the corners of her curled mouth, and said, "It doesn't matter. I will bring my second aunt here next time. She will definitely see it at a glance."
Mayberry:......
Does this mean that they are the only ones in the family who are really fucking smart?
After Mei You reminded her like this, Mei Berry felt like she had opened up a new world. When she went to buy something again, Mei Berry followed Mei You's example and cut it in half.
After finding that it was possible to cut in half, Mayberry tried to cut in half, and then escaped before the boss threw the murderous eye knife!
Fortunately, there is no shame in wearing a hat.
Mayberry thought silently in her heart.
After putting the results of the whole morning's hard work on the mule's body, Meiberry and Meiyu walked back after having a simple lunch.
"Dad, it's such a high mountain~"
Before they had even taken two steps, Mei Bei and Mei You heard a cute childish voice behind them.
Subconsciously, Mayberry looked back briefly.
It turned out to be a family of three climbing a mountain.
Behind them were several porters carrying a pile of luggage. Just looking at the slightly deformed load, Mei Berry felt very heavy.
Hey, it’s good to have money and someone to help carry the burden.
Just as Mei Berry sighed in her heart, she heard a child pointing to his mule and saying, "Dad! Horse, ride a horse!"
"That's the cough of horses and donkeys..."
Probably realizing that he couldn't say this to the child, the man coughed twice and did not continue to say the next few words.
Meiberry didn't expect that someone would recognize her mule cub as a mule. Listening to the other person's clear voice, Meiberry turned around and took another look.
At this glance, I saw that the little bun's father had a good temperament, and there were obvious lines at the end of his eyes. He looked like a handsome uncle.
However, Mei Berry soon discovered that the man had a very conspicuous scar on his cheek that reached behind his ear, which instantly ruined his entire appearance.
"It turns out this is called '駏鉉'. I thought it was a donkey at first~ My husband is very knowledgeable."
The voice of the woman on the side sounded strangely familiar to Mei Bei. She looked aside carefully and yelled in her heart: Oh my God, I'm knocking!
"!"
Meiyou suddenly felt Meiberry's hand tighten on her arm.
Mei You turned her head, only to see Mei Bei turn back and ask her in a very low voice: "Sister, please quickly turn around and take a look, is that Mei Lian? My eyes are not blurry, are they?"
Hearing Mei Berry's words, Mei Qian was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but turn around and take another look.
"It actually is."
At this moment, Mei Bei was glad that they wore silk hats when they went out, otherwise they would have been face to face.
Although the other person's hair was combed like a woman's, the face was instantly recognizable as Mei Lian.
This shocked Meiberry and Meiyu. What happened in just a few months?
Mei Lian is married?
Mei Liang thought of the child she saw just now. It was definitely not Mei Lian's child. So, Mei Lian was married to someone as a stepmother? !
Meiberry and Meiyou looked at each other, and Meiberry subconsciously patted the mule's butt and accelerated up the mountain.
Awesome!
Mayberry couldn't help but doubt life - is the power of this plot so terrifying? How come you can meet Lao Mei’s family wherever you go?
Mayberry: I need an explanation, what's going on.
