Chapter 466

The Mei brothers also reacted one after another and resolutely rejected Li Zheng's proposal.

Li Zheng has no choice, and now the Mei family can't afford to offend, so they have to respond.

As soon as they left, the Mei brothers closed the door to discuss, this brother-in-law became the master, and the Mei family's business was relied on in the future, and the identity of the Mei family was also mentioned. Speaking of which, Liu Xiaoqiao glanced at Jin Dou, but it was a pity, if it was a few days late, waiting for the news of the Zhongju to come, I was afraid that how many daughters from good families would rush to marry Jin Dou.

Now the girl who has decided the whole family, I don't know if this family affair can continue.

The brothers were happy, and finally felt that Mei Changgui went to the town to pick up people, and the others were preparing at home.

You have to clean An Huahao's yard and Mei Xiaotong's yard carefully, and take out the bedding and everything to dismantle and wash and dry.

simply put the mountain goods business on hold for the time being, and waited wholeheartedly for An Huahao and them to come back.

Li Zheng sent people, looked at the entrance of the village every day, and hurried back to report when he saw the carriage of the Mei family.

No, before the carriage reached the entrance of the village, he saw a few boys, and he ran back, shouting as he ran: "The master is back—the master is back—the master is back—"

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, almost all the people in the village came to watch the excitement on both sides.

Rizheng and several family elders stood at the front.

In this kind of posture, where can An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong still sit still, so they have to let Mei Changgui drive the carriage back first and help Mrs. Li get out of the carriage.

First had a greeting with Li Zheng and the heads of several families, and Li Zheng respectfully asked An Huahao to go first.

An Huahao repeatedly excused himself, held Li Zheng's arm with his hand, and walked forward together, followed by several family patriarchs, and walked towards the village in a mighty manner.

The men all surrounded An Huahao and them, and the remaining women naturally surrounded Mei Xiaotong and Mrs. Li, gossiping, some congratulating and saying goodbye, and some patting sycophants......

Mei Xiaotong naturally didn't know Xiao Tiantian's thoughts, but this so-called prestige mission reminded her of the previous time and space.

I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

How to alleviate poverty, there is no clearer than Mei Xiaotong from that time and space.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!

This wild tea forest has been guarded by these hunters for generations, and without them, there would be no birth of this high-quality tea, and there would be no cooperation from everyone now.

The existence of tea is the root of all this that may happen in the future, although the tea is very good, but the quantity is not much after all, and one percent of the benefits are distributed to the dozen or so hunters, which is just enough for them to move out of the cave and live the life of ordinary people.

For Boss Zhang and the Li family, this tea is just an opportunity, a business, without this business, there is the next one.

But for Orion, it is almost the only one in this life

At one time, more than a dozen households in the entire Yingzigou can get rid of this opportunity to live in a cave and be almost isolated from the world.

Give these hunters a chance, and if you are worried that the hunters will take advantage of this in the future, you don't have to worry.

It can be noted on the deed that in the next ten years, as long as the tea business exists, the Lijia family and Zhang Da Boss will take out 10% of the tea profits at the end of each year to fund the hunters.

She doesn't expect much from humanity either, but since the prestige mission has to be done, do the best she can!

Everything is worth it!

Give Yingzigou a chance, in ten years, if the people of Yingzigou can't take this opportunity to stand up, then there is no need to support it anymore.

Hearing Xiao Tiantian ask at this moment, Mei Xiaotong shook his head: "Aren't they all tasks?" It makes no difference to me! Besides, if I say I'm not satisfied, can I refuse this task? ”

Odada seconds!

Mei Xiaotong said: "Okay, let's talk about the prestige task again." ”

"Host, congratulations to the host for starting a new mission, prestige mission: to help the Eagle Gully Orion completely get rid of poverty, and get the sincere thanks of the Eagle Gully Hunter! Complete the quest and be rewarded with 10 Fame. ”

"What's the use of this reward?" Mei Xiaotong asked.

"The higher the prestige, the more you can be recognized by others, and the ......more respectful you are," Odada elaborated on his posture.

"Can I exchange things from the mall?" Mei Xiaotong interrupted expressionlessly.

"Uh, no!"

"Can I redeem it for points?"

“…… No...... No! ”

"Can—"

"Host, nothing! Prestige Points can't be exchanged for anything! Odada replied with a broken jar.

"So what are you going to do? Okay, I see, you kneel! Mei Xiaotong said very ruthlessly.

Odada, who had been traumatized physically and mentally, wiped his tears and went back to the small black house.

Mei Xiaotong thought in her heart, since this prestige task had to be done, I thought that there would be more such tasks in the future.

At first, she thought about getting a tea garden at home as a way out.

Now, it seems, this is no longer possible!

can help the hunters of Yingzigou get rid of poverty and become rich, how can Qilidun not care?

Not to mention, if the Mei family's mountain goods business continues to do this, it will definitely be unique in Qilidun.

God knows how many eyes are staring, even if there are many people in the Mei family, but everyone in the clan is having a hard time, just your family is doing well, after a long time, where will there not be jealousy?

Only when everyone has a good life can they get along in harmony.

Qilidun is the root of the Mei family, so it naturally has to be well maintained.

The plan of the tea garden is going to be changed one or two.

Mei Xiaotong pondered in her heart, but this plan involved too much, and it was not her overnight work, so she didn't mention it in her heart for the time being.

Over there, Zhang Yinbao was in a hurry to Shiqiao Town.

One is for tea, and it is also for yellow pine mushrooms.

This year, he received a letter from Guan Yifei, saying that Mei Xiaotong went to the county seat to accompany An Huahao to study, and the meaning revealed by the Mei family was that it was difficult to find yellow pine mushrooms this year.

I'm afraid of three catties of yellow pine mushrooms a year, I'm afraid it's a little hanging.

Zhang Yinbao can now catch up with the relationship in the capital, relying on this yellow pine mushroom!

What if there is no yellow pine mushroom this year, and the line in the capital is broken?

No matter how good the tea is, it is still unknown, but the yellow pine mushroom is more important.

Therefore, I plan to come to Jing County to meet Mei Xiaotong in person and talk about this yellow pine mushroom.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Jing County, I got off the boat and saw the henchman sent by Guan Yifei, and I suddenly sighed in my heart, could it be that something happened?

Walking to the side and listening to the confidant explain the matter in a low voice, Zhang Yinbao almost couldn't control his emotions, and asked in a low voice with trembling hands: "What you said is true?" ”

The henchmen nodded again and again: "I heard that the ninth young man is already in Shiqiao Town, it should be right!" Do you want to take a break, or do you want to leave right away? ”

Zhang Yinbao kicked his henchman: "What are you resting for?" Not ready yet? ”

What an eyeless thing! Li Jiushao is waiting in Shiqiao Town, not to mention hurrying to go, but still resting?

The henchman was kicked, rubbing his thighs busily, and went to prepare.

Zhang Yinbao rubbed his hands, turned around the dock twice, felt that it was a little too dazzling, and hurriedly went to the tea stall on the side of the road, bought two bowls of tea and poured them in one go, and barely calmed down.

Lijia! Nine less! This is a legendary character, and he actually had the chance to meet him!

Thanks to that girl from the Mei family! Where is this Mei girl, this is the Mei family's aunt and grandmother!

It's really his lucky star Zhang Yinbao!

People who do business already believe in these things, and after meeting Mei Xiaotong, Zhang Yinbao was indeed smooth sailing, and he was in trouble.

Coupled with the big opportunity in front of him, Zhang Yinbao had to think in that direction.

I thought in my heart, this aunt and grandmother have to provide for it, not to mention anything else, it's good to be blessed!

On the other hand, I began to worry again, I have to go to see Li Jiushao, and Mei Xiaotong, I can't be empty-handed, right?

Ordinary objects, Li Jiushao definitely can't look down on them, and they are not worthy of Mei Xiaotong's aunt.

Zhang Yinbao called his personal buddy, "This time we went out, what are the rare and precious things we are carrying?" ”

The personal buddy drew in his heart, "It's just anything else, just a few days ago, the caravan from the Western Regions came back, but there was a piece of fine mutton fat jade,!" There is also a box of various colored gems, which is said to be a feature of the Western Regions, which is not bad. ”

Zhang Yinbao gritted his teeth: "Let's go and find out again, see if they have brought any other rare things, and put them all on for me." ”

The personal guy knows the importance of things and is busy

He agreed, and went down to command.

The horses are prepared first, it is already the second half of the night at this moment, even if the horses are fast, it will be the second half of the night when they arrive in Shiqiao Town.

Zhang Yinbao brought the two gifts that his personal buddy said first, and brought a few guys with good kung fu to take the first step.

The personal guy in the back packed up a batch of gifts and rushed to Shiqiao Town overnight.

Mei Xiaotong didn't bother to guess the thoughts of the Mei family, but she knew that the reward for reporting the news was given by Liu Xiaoqiao, and she had a number in her heart, and on the second day, she borrowed the hand of Mrs. Li to give Liu Xiaoqiao two silver ingots alone, that is.

On the second day, the ten miles and eight towns knew that Qilidun was going to hold a one-day flowing water banquet to celebrate the emergence of a man in their village.

Those who have heard the letter can go to Qilidun to eat noodles.

Originally, Li Zheng planned for three days, but was stopped by An Huahao, only saying that it was too expensive, and it would be enough for one day, and Li Zheng naturally did not dare to disagree.

As soon as this news came out, all the towns and villages were boiling, and they all wanted to join in the fun.

Since the morning, the door-to-door gift-giver has not stopped.

The yard on An Huahao's side, as well as the backyard on the Mei family's side, were almost crowded, and everything was almost overwhelmed.

Li Zheng's son and several literate bookkeepers in the village were invited to register the gift list, ten eggs in the east family, an old hen in the west family, and so on.

Most of the villagers in the village, or those who want to eat the noodles in the village, are their own eggs, or carry a fish, two bowls of white noodles, which is considered good.

If you are more honest, you will have meat, fish, and a few hundred dollars, which is very good.

Steward Lu, as well as the current shopkeeper of the restaurant, and even Zhang Quan from Yingzigou came in person and gave generous gifts.

Chongzigou got the news, and he also came later, sending a lot of fur and game.

There are also Wu Dashan and Wu Zhongbao, two fathers and sons, also came, after Wu Zhongbao went to Jing County last time, he returned to Jing County within a few days under the pretext of being unwell.

It is said that after going back, he was beaten by Wu Dashanren, and in the end, the father and son each took a step back, and invited a master to teach Wu Zhongbao martial arts, and he will go to the martial arts exam next year.

These people, as well as Li Zheng and several other patriarchs, as well as the respected elders in the village, opened a few tables in the courtyard of the Mei family.

Because of filial piety, the Mei brothers can't drink wine and eat meat, and An Huahao only replaces wine with tea, and the atmosphere is quite lively.

Today is different from the past, and those present now are holding An Huahao when they speak, and if they are ordinary people, they will already be fluttering.

An Huahao, as always, in the eyes of everyone, has his own ideas and does not mention them.

This flowing water mat was opened until the evening, and then it was dispersed, and the entire Qilidun was tired and almost paralyzed, and it took several days to relieve himself.

An Huahao was also decisive, and after two days, he discussed with Li Zheng and chose most of the people's fields to hang in his name, so that they could be exempted from forced labor, which was a great kindness to the farmer.

Only this one, there is no one in Qilidun who is not grateful to An Huahao.

Of course, according to the rules, these farmers who are listed in An Huahao's name will also share some of the harvest in their own fields to An Huahao every year.

This matter, An Huahao simply handed it over to Li Zheng and the Mei family brothers, he really doesn't look down on these now, but didn't this Shengmien, Dou Mi Chou thing just happened in Yingzigou? Naturally, he would not make such a mistake.

Before I came back, I also inquired about the benefits received by other people, so I just followed this example, and naturally Youli was worried.

Of course, there are still a few, such as Song Chunhua's mother's family at the beginning, and the Song family who bullied An Huahao fiercely, as well as a few families that do not agree with the Mei family, so naturally they don't have this treatment.

Especially Song Chunhua's mother's family, I just heard that An Huahao was raised, and Song Chunhua's brother and sister-in-law really can't live this life, and they are planning to find An Huahao to ask for money and flowers.

Now that An Huahao is a man, he has to save face, right? If they don't give it, they will be muddy people anyway, so they will go outside to preach that An Huahao is unfilial and treats his adoptive mother's family harshly.

Fortunately, the patriarch of the Song family guarded against Song Chunhua's mother's family, and after listening to a few words, he almost didn't faint.

Something that is not self-sufficient, and when An Huahao is a small hunter in the past? At that time, An Huahao only tolerated their family because of Song Chunhua's face, what gave them the illusion that An Huahao was easy to provoke?

Not to mention that An Huahao is a person now, not to mention An Huahao himself, as long as Song Chunhua's brother and sister-in-law dare to go out and confide in a word, the people in this village who are still counting on An Huahao to be exempt from taxes and forced labor can tear the Song family apart.

The patriarch of the Song family unceremoniously threatened that if Song Chunhua's family didn't know to stay at home honestly with their tails between their tails and their mouths, then their family would be expelled from Qilidun.

The tragic situation of the Li family being expelled at the beginning is still vivid, Song Chunhua's brother and sister-in-law are greedy for life and afraid of death, where do they dare to make crooked ideas, they only shrink at home and dare not go out, and they don't dare to fight An Huahao's idea at all.

An Huahao also heard some rumors, but since the Song family patriarch had solved the problem in front, there was no need for him to get to the bottom of the problem and kill the game.

The mess of the Song family, those people, it is difficult to live.

Let's say that Mei Yongzhen's side, her brother-in-law won the exam, what a great honor, but she offended her mother's family, and now she is not even allowed to enter the door.

Because the wood is a grandson, it will be fine after a hundred days.

Mei Yongzhen also planned to find a family affair for the wood, and went to the matchmaker to talk about it, but the matchmaker shook her head first, only saying that it was not easy to find it.

Mei Yongzhen was anxious: "Why is it difficult to find?" My wood is obedient and filial and sensible, and he is diligent in his work, and his family has a small population and a lot of income, so it is not easy to find such conditions? ”

The matchmaker was also speechless, seeing that Mei Yongzhen was still pretending to be confused, she shook her face directly: "I said the eldest sister of the Mei family, you are really confused."

Tu or fake? What's the situation in your family, you don't have a number in your heart? Yes, this kid of wood, to be honest, it's good, but I can't stand up to you as a lagging mother! What is your reputation out there, you don't know? ”

"Who loves the girl and marries the girl into a fire pit like yours? Who would dare to be your daughter-in-law like you? If you marry in the past, you can't harm your daughter-in-law and break off her parents' family? It's not that I said you, the eldest sister of the Mei family, you think about it yourself, you are a good mother's backer, and you have offended a fine light, and now your sister is a lady, if you have a good relationship, I can't say that you can still give your wood a good girl, now? You better wash up and go home and sleep! ”

A few words stabbed Mei Yongzhen back home, lying on the kang and crying silently, she only sighed that her life was bitter, her mother died early, married a man who didn't feel sorry for people, and had a short life, and now it is so difficult to find a better family for wood.

Mei Yongzhen is embarrassed to find relatives, and on the Mei family's side, the matchmaker automatically comes to the door, some say that they want to find a continuation for Mei Changfu, and some want to change Jin Dou for a fiancée, and some can't wait to tell Tianbao and Xiaojuan a little daughter-in-law now, even more outrageous, and they want to have a baby kiss with Xiaoduo.

Not to mention Xiaojuan, those who have sons in the family come to the door to ask for marriage, and no matter whether they are worthy of age or not, they all know that this is a rare opportunity, and now the Mei family is such a girl in this generation, it is a golden dumpling, who doesn't want to grab their own home.

Even if Mei Changfu was praised by the matchmaker and almost forgot what his surname was, he didn't let go, he only said that he was old, and now that he was going to marry his daughter-in-law, he would no longer harm people.

The matchmaker introduced them are all yellow flower daughters who have not yet married, and they are not very old when they hear it, if they marry home, the stepmother-in-law is about the same age as the daughter-in-law, and it doesn't sound good to say, right?

As for the widows and widows that the matchmaker said, they are also dragging their children with their daughters, and he is also afraid now, his own son hurts, can he expect people to really care for your son?
