In the past, five copper plates could buy one pound of rice, but now ten copper plates can't buy one or two pounds of rice.

Although it has not yet reached the point of starvation, the eating of grass roots and tree bark has already occurred.

In many places, even the bark has been eaten.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shanjia felt a little sore in his eyebrows.

The so-called "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road" is like this.

In a rich family, the reward is in the form of silver taels.

However, among the common people, even the copper plates used to buy rice need to be taken care of, and some people have never seen even a single ingot of silver in their lives.

It didn't take long for the Mei Mansion to be in front of you.

From a distance, I saw a plaque with the words Meifu written on it, and in the middle of the four red cylindrical heads, there were six pairs of households.

When the carriage arrived at the door, someone from Meifu came out to ask: "Which guest came to visit, can there be a famous post?" ”

Yuan Shanjia asked Manu to hand in the post.

"My young lady is from General Yuan's mansion, and I have made an appointment to visit your Miss Mei today."

The man read the post, and it was indeed the seal of the young lady, so he waved his hand and let one of them lead Manu to drive the car to the back.

He himself led Yuan Shanjia in, "My young lady has already ordered it, if Miss Yuan Er comes over, you don't have to report it, just bring it over." ”

When I entered the door, a maid rushed over, and a middle-aged uncle.

The doorkeeper nodded, "This is our Mei Mansion Mei Butler, and Miss Xianglu, the right-hand man beside Miss." ”

Steward Mei clenched his fists, "Miss Yuan Er, the slave is the housekeeper of the Mei Mansion, Mrs. heard that Miss Yuan Er was going to come to the house as a guest, so she instructed the slave to treat you well, if you have any instructions, tell the slave to be." ”

Yuan Shanjia returned the salute and said with a smile: "Thank you Aunt Mei for me." ”

She asked Ran Zhu to take out the gift she had prepared.

"This is a little caution prepared by the younger generation for Aunt Mei and Uncle Mei, please accept it."

Steward Mei accepted it with a smile, "The slave will be handed over to the old lady." Mademoiselle is already waiting for you, and the fragrance will take you there. ”

As a housekeeper, he is naturally busy with affairs, and he can find some time to receive Yuan Shanjia, which is already extremely important.

Yuan Shanjia nodded.

Xianglu saw that they were finished, and came over and said, "Steward Mei, go and get busy, the slave will bring Miss Yuan Er to Miss." ”

Steward Mei sued and left.

Xianglu turned to Yuan Shanjia, "Miss Yuan Er, can you go all the way?" My lady has been waiting for a long time. ”

Yuan Shanjia followed Xianglu around the house a few times, and finally arrived at Mei Fengmin's courtyard.

The courtyard door is hung with the three words of Shiyuxuan.

Mei Fengmin got the news early and waited at the gate of the courtyard.

"It's so hot, what are you doing out here? Isn't it the same to wait in the house? Yuan Shanjia blamed.

Mei Fengmin hugged Yuan Shanjia's arm and said with a smile: "I want to see you early!" ”

Yuan Shanjia also laughed, "Are you sure you want to see me earlier, not the dim sum I told you before?" ”

When she asked someone to deliver the letter in the morning, she handed Mei Fengmin a note.

Let her eat less at noon, and bring her delicious snacks.

Mei Fengmin replied unceremoniously: "Both!" ”

Yuan Shanjia smiled, "You must have died of hunger in your previous life." ”

Mei Fengmin pouted and pinched Yuan Shanjia's arm, "I hate it~"

Yuan Shanjia hurriedly changed the topic, "The plaque in your yard is well written!" Who wrote it? Very stylish, with some wild grass strokes, messy and with a sense of fluency in the book. ”

"Do you think it's good, too?" Mei Fengmin looked at Yuan Shanjia, very happy, and grinned, "I also think it's good, it's written by my eldest brother, and I can introduce you to you when I have the opportunity." ”

If only Jiajia had been her sister-in-law.

Yuan Shanjia pinched her, "What do you introduce me to?" I don't know if men and women are not able to teach and receive? ”

Mei Fengmin pulled Yuan Shanjia away, "What's this?" He is my brother, and you are my good sister, so he is also your brother. ”

"Is there such a statement?" Won Sun-ga giggled.

While talking, the two entered the house.

There are two basins of ice in the house, and the windows and doors are used for sheer curtains, which can not only keep the air conditioning in the room, but also not block the light outside.

As soon as I entered the house, a cool air hit me.

Yuan Shanjia took a comfortable breath, "It's still cool inside the house, and it's like a stove outside." ”

"yes, I've just been standing outside for a while, and I suspect I'm going to be roasted into a human snack." Mei Fengmin agreed.

Yuan Shanjia looked at the jade pendant on her body, covered her mouth and smiled, "Then aren't these jadeites becoming green onions?" ”

When the fragrance enters the door, cover the curtain to prevent the cool air in the house from escaping.

Yuan Shanjia looked around, but he didn't see the maid who followed Mei Fengmin before, only three maids were waiting beside him.

"Where's parsley? Why didn't you see her? She asked.

Mei Fengmin's eyes were dim, and her expression was a little unhappy.

Seeing her expression, Yuan Shanjia thought of what happened in the Qin Palace, and knew that this maid must have been punished.

She has that temperament, and she can't say that she won't be punished when she comes back.

Mei Fengmin pouted, "Parsley has been beaten ten times, and she is still recuperating from her injuries." My mother also reprimanded me, saying that I shouldn't have indulged her. But it was Miss Wang's fault at that time! ”

Yuan Shanjia comforted: "Even if you talk about it now, things have already happened, and you can't undo it." Why not take good care of Parsley and let her recover sooner? ”

Mei Fengmin only dimmed for a moment, "I know, I quietly asked my eldest brother for a good trauma medicine, the scar removal effect is very good, and I will definitely not leave a scar on Parsley." ”

"I know Feng Min is very powerful, I brought you a new snack, do you want to eat some." Yuan Shanjia changed the subject.

"By the way, Jiajia, I just forgot to tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

Mei Fengmin said hesitantly: "There is another person coming." ”

"And one more?" Yuan Shanjia raised his eyebrows, and then Lang Lang smiled, "It's fun to have more people, but it's not bad." ”

Since Feng Min didn't mention it at the beginning, that is to say, it was added temporarily, and it was also requested by the elders.

Yuan Shanjia thought secretly in his heart.

Mei Fengmin was happy again, and told the previous things about it, with a rather complaining tone.

"Originally, I only invited you, but just now when you didn't enter the door, my mother told me that Miss Qiao's family was also coming to visit. I told my mother, I invited you over. But my mother said that Mrs. Qiao was coming to visit, and she brought Miss Qiao by the way, so it was hard to refuse. ”

She complained, "Really, why are they here today?" I've finally met you, and I want you to teach me some piano skills. Now there is one more person, and I don't know how to get along! ”

Small theater

Mei Fengmin: Jiajia, I'm sorry!

Yuan Shanjia: I'm sorry, if it's useful, why do you want to catch it?

Mei Fengmin: Jiajia, you don't love me anymore~

Yuan Shanjia: I haven't loved you all along......

Mei Fengmin: Huh......
