Zhongzhou Imperial Capital,

A heavy rain at night washed away the heat that had shrouded the imperial capital these days.

Before the rain stopped in the early morning, Xie Changchen was wearing a crimson robe and holding a plain paper umbrella from a cage of smoke and rain, and Jia Qi, who was already standing under the eaves of the porch and waiting, held his breath.

In the cool water vapor, as the figure approached, there was a faint smell of blood, mixed with the fragrance of medicine and diffused in the surrounding air.

"Master."

As Xie Changchen entered the house, Jia Qi handed the letter to Xie Changchen along with the brocade box.

Xie Changchen didn't rush to open it, turned around and stood at the desk and lit up the foggy incense he always used.

It is a crisp scent of cedar that ignites on a rainy day, mixed with water vapor and moist moisture, making you feel like you are in the middle of a dense forest after the rain.

"How are you doing?"

Watching the incense slowly rise, Xie Changchen sat on the chair, and then reached out and slowly opened the letter.

The content of Jia's letter is very simple, just explaining the recent arrangements, but not mentioning anything about himself.

"My lord, he has been doing well recently, and occasionally he will go to see Xue Lao to regulate his body."

"Hmmm......"

Xie Changchen looked at the soap mentioned in the letter, and curiously took out the soap in the brocade box and played with it in his hand for a while.

"It's a good thing, but ...... It was actually done by the Mei family again? ”

Xie Changchen thought about the time he was in Yunzhou, whether it was accidentally bumping into the absurd quarrel scene of the Mei family;

still rescued Gu Pingyu later, and the investigation fell to the Mei family again;

Even the ginseng in the medicine that nourishes the body by himself is obtained from the Mei family;

And now, the industry in his hands has somehow been mixed up with the Mei family.

This one by one made Xie Changchen vigilant.

"My father-in-law's house is also inhabited by the Mei Er family...... Xie Changchen's slender and thin fingers lightly tapped the rosewood tabletop, and muttered for a long time, "It's all ...... Is it a coincidence? ”

"That, master, Lord A said that you don't have to worry about the affairs over there in Yunzhou, he will help you deal with it, and you have to be careful here in the imperial capital. Besides, the king of Qi is also going back to Beijing. ”

"I know. Jiangnan has already handed over the news of King Qi's return, this time he inspected Jiangnan, I heard that the hearts of many Jiangnan lifters, this autumn I don't know how many southern lifters are King Qi's people. ”

The fragrance of the mist gradually permeated Xie Changchen's body, and he leaned lazily on the back of his chair and tilted his head to watch the battle between the two birds on the branches outside the window.

After a moment, the corners of his mouth curved, and he only said: "Tell King Wei the news that Gu Ping was captured in the camp in Yanzhou." ”

***

"Since Jiubaoxuan has a way to sell soap to high-ranking dignitaries according to your ideas, the people behind them naturally have a background. It's not hard to investigate us. ”

Mei Berry sent the things sent by Jiubaoxuan in the morning to Mei You, and told Mei You about what she had discovered.

Mei You only let Mei Berry put her mind at ease, with their current strength, it is useless to be vigilant.

"Look at their style, you know that we are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation, and they also know that we avoid suspicion and do not show off."

Mei You opened the package sent by the other party in front of Mei Berry and looked at it.

Plum berries opened their own packages before they were at home.

There was a box of goat's milk soap they made, a box of snacks, a set of rouge gouache that the daughter's family liked, and a small piece of fine plain silk.

"Do you need this?"

That box of rouge gouache Mei You watched it for a long time and still didn't know how to use it, and she didn't want to use it.

"Uh...... This incense powder is not bad, my mother saw it and said that it can be used as prickly heat powder. ”

Mei Berry and Mei You basically don't know anything about these ancient cosmetics, and Mei Berry also asked the system to check whether there are any bad ingredients, such as lead powder.

But the answer given by the system was unexpected by Plum Berry.

It's rare that this box of rouge gouache is actually natural ingredients, and it doesn't hurt the skin at all.

Mei Berry went to the county before, accompanied her father, and saw some stalls that made rouge gouache, all of which had some bad ingredients.

It can be seen that the things sent by Jiubaoxuan are not extraordinary.

"This lipstick, my mother tried it, it lifts her complexion, it's not public, you can also take your aunt to use it~"

Mei Berry can see that Mei You is really not interested in these, but Mei Berry doesn't plan to let Mei You send them out in a daze.

"If you don't like it, doesn't it mean that the third aunt doesn't like it? This head oil, I smell the fragrance of osmanthus.

Earlier, when you were eating pastries at our house, I heard the third aunt mention that she likes the smell of osmanthus, you give it to the third aunt, the third aunt absolutely likes it~"

Hearing what Mei Berry said, Mei You stared at the box of rouge gouache again and hesitated, then she didn't mean to give it away, but looked at Mei Berry and said, "You are more careful than me." ”

"No, hahaha, I'm always looking at strange places." Mei Berry smiled, remembering that she had come with her mother, and she happened to meet Miao Shi to clean up in the vegetable field, so her mother followed.

"Let's go to the vegetable field and see what the third aunt and my mother are doing."

After chatting, the two went to Mei You's vegetable patch.

The vegetables in Mei You's vegetable field belong to the last, unlike the seeds that the plum berry family had systematically issued before, and it can be seen that it is crazy and uncontrollable in the early stage.

Mei You's vegetables are regular and inconspicuous in the early stage, but when the time comes, all kinds of vegetables are ripe.

"Oh, these beans are all elders, if you can't eat them, how good it would be to pickle them into capers!"

"Don't like capers? Then this old one can also be plucked, and when the time comes, it is not bad to dry the beans and cook porridge, or make them into dried vegetables. ”

"Ah, your peas are too, don't you eat them on weekdays when you're old? It is also possible to dry the mill. ”

"There is also a loofah, well, the loofah is old, it's good, keep seeds, you can also make a loofah, and it's easy to use for brushing the pot and bathing!"

Mei Berry and Mei You heard Wei Meimei's voice before they arrived at the vegetable field, Miao's voice was not loud, but what should be heard could still be heard.

"There are so many dishes at home that I can't clean up, I don't know if my second sister-in-law has eaten all the dishes at home? Why don't you take some back? ”

"Oh, there are a lot of vegetables in my field, just like you just said, our family can also eat if you can, if you can't eat it, you can pickle it, dry it and put it away, and you can add some vegetables in winter."

There are some Wei Meili who didn't say, and some are stored in the space of plum berries.

"Ah, that's okay, second sister-in-law, the vegetables in your vegetable field are different from those grown in our family, you can take some back and change the taste."

"Okay, our winter melon will be fine in a few days, and I'll give you a big winter melon~"

Wei Meili specially picked two old loofahs, as well as some fresh okra, and when the plum berries came over, the two of them took the vegetables picked by the two mothers.

"Why don't you stop tonight and come to our house for dinner?" Wei Meili looked at the vegetables in her hand, and remembered the vegetables she had picked in her vegetable patch the morning.

It's all fresh vegetables, and there's no need to leave it for a long time after picking it.

Wei Meili proposed: "It just so happens that those two men are not at home, let's get together for a while." Eat breakfast, and you two will be back when it is dawn. ”

Wei Meili held Miao with one hand, and there was some coquettish flavor in her tone, originally Miao had a good temperament and would not refuse, so she agreed.

But fortunately, their mother and daughter agreed, and they escaped an unnecessary turmoil.

When Mei Berry and Mei You were herding sheep at the foot of the mountain early the next morning, Mei Berry was directly stunned when she heard Mei You talk about what they met after they went home yesterday evening!

"I'm going?! My aunt came to your house last night and planned to eat? ”

"Yes, it was my grandmother who was angry with my grandfather and didn't cook...... The eldest aunt took Mei An back to her parents' house, and she hadn't come back yet. ”

"Doesn't she know how to cook herself?" Mei Berry couldn't accept Mei Jinhua's reason for opening her mouth, looked at Mei You sympathetically, and said, "Sister, are you being relied upon?" ”

"Ho~" Mei You sneered and pulled the corners of her mouth, "She can rely on it, last night I said that our family had eaten at your house and just came back, and sent people back." ”

After that, Mei You's eyes fell on Mei Berry's face again and said, "I think this old woman may be able to come to your house for dinner in the next two days, you should also pay attention." ”
