Chapter 261: A Chance Encounter
Listening to Mei You say so much, Mei Berry finally asked such a sentence, Mei You couldn't help but feel that to a certain extent, Mei Berry was firm.
unswervingly cultivated her as his backer.
Mei You couldn't talk about this topic anymore, so she simply changed the topic and proposed to go out for a walk during the day tomorrow.
She was indeed going to a branch of a lonely business bank in the imperial capital in the past two days, and she had asked Gulan to find a short knife when she was in Sangzi Prefecture before.
It's time to find something to send it over......
·
If you want to say how conspicuous the solitary business house is in the façade of the four eastern states, then how remote their shops are in the imperial capital.
If it weren't for Mei You's special inquiry about the location of the lonely's shop in the imperial capital, she probably wouldn't have been able to find this place now.
The façade is not large, and the things in the store are not as elaborate and gorgeous as they used to be in Mulberry State.
Even the snowflake salt is not on the surface, and this store looks like it is going to close down at a loss.
It's like a breath left.
Mei Berry and Mei You entered the store, showed their hands, and were once again greeted into the inner room by the shopkeeper himself.
"The proprietor received your letter and hastened to deliver this dagger here overnight, and let me wait for your visit.
Here is also a letter from our owner to you. ”
The shopkeeper took a short knife that looked very inconspicuous from the outside, and Plum Berry glanced at it curiously, but did not see the name.
Mei You pulled the short knife out of the scabbard, looked at it for a moment, and did a small experiment to blow the hair and break the hair to test the sharpness, which made Mei You very satisfied.
"Tell you the owner for me, I like this thing very much."
Mei You pinned the short knife to her waist, and then took the letter from Gu Lan.
The letter was nothing more than complaining that they had arrived in Sangzizhou, and they were unwilling to go to Xuanzhou for a few more days to let her fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
In this regard, Mei You didn't say anything else.
After folding the letter and putting it in her arms, Mei You got up and left the store with Mei Berry.
"What's the matter, what did Sister Lan write?"
Mei Berry was in a good mood after seeing Mei You get the short knife, she didn't come over to see it just now, anyway, Mei You would tell her.
"She said we didn't go to her ......"
Before the word "play" was finished, Mei You's eyes looked up slightly like Mei Berry, and Mei Berry also felt it, turned his head but didn't see anyone behind him.
"Anyone?"
Mei Berry asked Mei You uncertainly.
"No, I saw an acquaintance passing by."
"Who?"
"It's the group that sent us."
When Mei Berry heard this, she immediately became alert.
"They ......"
Plum Berry turned and glanced at the remote realm around her, the group of people had not appeared in front of their sisters since they were sent to the imperial capital, and now they appeared in such a remote place, I am afraid that there is some conspiracy.
"Yang County Order ......"
Mei You looked at Mei Berry and asked, "Did you tell Xie Changchen about Yang Tingye's suspiciousness?"
"I said it, I said it when he brought Mama that day, and he said that he already knew, so let's not worry......"
It's just that looking at Mei You's dissatisfied expression now, I know that what Xie Changchen said doesn't have to worry about, it's obviously impossible.
"Follow along."
Mei You took a breath and made a bold decision.
"Are we going to startle the snakes?"
Seeing that Mei You was leaving, Mei Berry didn't pull her, but just whispered behind her.
Sure enough, as if reminded by Mei Berry, Mei You turned her head to look at Mei Berry, and said in a second: "Then you go back first." ”
Plum berries: ???
This, is it herself who reminds Mei You to be careful?
The look of disbelief on Plum Berry's face was very vivid, and Mei You raised her hand and patted Plum Berry's little head for comfort, and then the person was gone with a glance.
[System, should I catch up?] Is there anything I can do to check in? 】
System: [Host, it is recommended that you do not catch up and cause unnecessary trouble. 】
Plum berries: ......
It's very good, and the system dislikes her for being rude.
"I'm also a thief anyway~"
Plum Berry pursed her lips, straightened her dress, and turned straight onto the bustling main street.
The lonely shop opened so remotely before, which reminded Meiberry of what Meiyou said last night.
Even if the merchant did something like Gu Lan, who could be regarded as a lonely family in the four eastern states and came to the imperial capital, he was just a man with his tail between his legs.
The trading house was opened in such a remote area, and there was not even snowflake salt.
Plum Berry is curious about what the shops on the main street are like, or what kind of background does it take to dare to open a shop on both sides of Central Street?
So, Mei You was mysteriously following there, but Mei Berry was swaggering and shopping on the street, and he blatantly investigated.
Every shop, marked or unmarked, has not escaped the eyes of plum berries in the sale and customers.
She wore a hat to hide her wanton gaze at the shops on the side of the street.
Eventually, Mei Berry got tired of walking, so she simply sat on a stall selling wontons, slowly eating the steamed buns she bought from next door.
Mei Berry shook her head and sighed as she looked at the doors of the shops she had visited earlier.
"Well, it's expensive."
Plum Berry thought about the prices she had just heard about in those shops.
Not to mention doubling, it was more than fifty percent higher than the price of the same items in the city she passed by before.
Especially when she saw in a shop the flower glass soap that she deliberately took out in Jiubaoxuan in Guanshi City in the winter of last year-it was actually sold for twenty taels a piece.
Oh my God, it's no different from a robbery!
Then Plum Berry can also see richly dressed maids, and when they come to buy soap, they have to report their names and the host's family.
Plum berries only listened to two ears slightly, and they were all officials.
It seems that the use and purchase of this glass soap shows the identity of the user to some extent.
In such a comparison, the milk soap of five taels does not seem to be so unacceptable.
Mei Berry touched the milk soap she had just bought with her hand, but when she looked down, she saw that the package of another item she had bought was about to be taken away by a hand!
"Thief!"
Mei Berry instantly got up and exclaimed, before she could catch someone, a hand had already reached out next door to catch the thief who stole Mei Berry!
"Is that you?"
Plum Berry looked up and recognized who this man was.
Isn't this the women's clothing boss that night, Qi Jingyun, the young secretary of Dali Temple?
Mei Berry was wearing a hat, Qi Jingyun hadn't recognized anyone yet, he was warm-hearted, and Xiu Mu went shopping for his sister to buy things, but he happened to see a thief who was going to steal the objects bought by the little lady on the side.
At this time, the patrolling catcher had already come by the time he heard the movement here.
As soon as he saw Qi Jingyun, he caught the thief quickly and took the thief away without stopping, for fear of being stopped and reprimanded by this group of people, plus being an idler and not doing his job.
Originally, Qi Jingyun really wanted to reprimand, there were still thieves in the imperial capital in broad daylight stealing things from the little lady in front of everyone's eyes?
As a result, hearing the tone of the person next to him as if he knew himself, Qi Jingyun also turned his head to look at Mei Berry.
Mei Berry remembered her hat, so she opened her hat and said in surprise: "It's me!" ”
Qi Jingyun: !!
Plum Berry: When can I clock in for myself?
