To say that Mei Berry was still a little suspicious of the Du family, but when she saw that the other party actually wanted to hear about Dongfang Tai's deflated food, Mei Berry suddenly felt that this person could handle it.

It's just that the events of the day are really exciting, and Mei Berry didn't tell the events of that day on the spot, but said that if Du Yuan is interested, he can talk to her privately when he eats tea and chats.

Plum Berry didn't think that all the people present were the same heart that would allow her to utter her astonishing words directly.

People who are not blind can see that some of the businessmen present are probably really making too much money and floating, and for Mei Berry Yao Fei, they are all nostrils facing the sky~

That night, after the banquet was over, Mei Berry went back and drank some hot vegetable soup before going to bed, and he specially told Yin Jiu and the others about it.

"Although the current dynasty did not emphasize agriculture and suppress merchants as much as the previous dynasty, the suppression policy towards merchants has not been relaxed.

It's just that in this successive years of disasters, the imperial treasury has never been abundant, and sometimes local squires and wealthy businessmen are also needed to help relieve and appease the victims.

In addition, in recent years, most of the imperial court's taxes still rely on these merchants, so they always turn a blind eye to their actions. ”

"Well, closing them makes them feel that their actions can affect the rise and fall of the court and the rise and fall of the throne."

Plum Berry sneered.

"When a businessman only knows profits, has no identity with his family and country, no national shame, and only knows that there is no bottom line to grab profits, they should not exist."

At today's reception, Mei Berry saw the faces of various merchants.

Some of them have a respectful attitude, some are neither humble nor arrogant, and some are strange and arrogant.

"I remember what the Qin family is called, it seems to be a big grain merchant from Zhuzhou, his expression is very interesting~"

Plum Berry noticed this for a young man who had been sitting there with his nostrils facing up throughout the banquet.

It seems that the man also choked with Du Yuan twice in the end.

"Please inquire about the affairs of the Du family, I heard Mr. Chu also mention his family today.

Although they are now as depressed as a lost dog, they are not depressed by their downfall, on the contrary, they are still actively looking for allies, and even planning to take revenge, their family still has quite potential. ”

Mei Berry drank the vegetable soup, and after instructing the errand, he sent someone to bring the things that Xie Changchen had sent to him.

She plans to continue finding something to do before bed.

For example, unboxing.

Xie Changchen still sent a box of objects, which contained letters separately in a small box.

Mei Berry opened it and looked at it, there was not only Xie Changchen's letter, but also a letter sent from home from Yanzhou.

Plum berry was the first to read the letter from home.

Among them, Mei Berry was most shocked that her third aunt actually found her brother who had been conscripted and never came back, and Mei You had an uncle at once!

The letter said that the other party was discharged from the army due to injury some time ago and happened to be moved to Zhuangzi.

Fortunately, it is not a physical disability, but as an archer, the harsh environment over the years and the inadvertent smoke during the battle with the Tartars last autumn damaged his eyesight.

Now, the other party has become an instructor of the Zhuangzili militia team, teaching some cavalry and archery kung fu.

It's a good thing.

Another thing is that Tao Ying brought news about Mei Dahu's family.

Because he was dragged down by Qi Jingyun, Tao Ying was also observed for a while.

However, knowing that the other party was once married to Meiyang, and was tortured by the old Mei family, and finally destroyed the old Mei family, Wei Meili and the Miao family were very curious about this former concubine who had never met.

Later, after making sure that Tao Ying had no other bad behaviors, Wei Meili and Miao went to contact Tao Ying while continuing to work.

After learning that Mei Yang married her, Old Man Mei and his wife have been living with Mei Yang.

She only said that she had heard Mei Yang mention a family member, and it seemed that they had seen Mei Dahu's family on the way to escape.

I heard that the eldest uncle Mei and the big tiger are gone, and the Jiang family and their son Mei An have been living with her mother's family.

At that time, Mei Yang seemed to have mentioned letting Mei An go with them, but according to Tao Ying, the Jiang family did not agree, and even Mei An herself refused.

For this reason, Old Man Mei was very angry.

"It's ...... that the little fat man would refuse to go back"

Mei Berry didn't know what was going on, but she faintly felt in her heart that Mei An, the little fat man who was bullying at the beginning, had probably experienced a lot and had grown.

If it weren't for the conditions, Mei Berry would have to find someone to inquire about what happened to Mei Dahu.

However, not all the news sent from home was good, and Mei You also mentioned that King Wei's army seemed to be increasing its spying posture at Yanping Pass recently.

It is also said that Meijiabao may not be found one day.

After the exposure of Meijiabao, in case of a conflict between Yanpingguan and King Wei, Meijiabao will inevitably be treated as a soft persimmon and bear the brunt.

"Annoying, this Dongfang Tai is really ghostly. You can hear it at dinner, and there is still news in the letter! ”

In the end, Mei You actually wanted to go to the Wolf Mountain, she wanted to capture a group of prisoners and ask those Tartars to send a group of cattle, sheep and horses.

Use this move to deter the other Hu people in the grassland.

Mei Berry didn't have time to make any judgment on her sister's behavior, and seeing Mei You finally sighed that when Dacheng stabilized in the future, she directly applied for the grassland to be flattened.

Mei Berry took a breath and silently folded the letter Mei You wrote to herself with a complicated expression.

In the middle, she didn't forget to ask the system if her sister really wanted to sweep the grassland, and she still had to follow the punch in.

The system didn't give a clear statement, but just said that it would be seen when the time came.

Hehe, I'll see when the time comes.

The perfunctory Mei Berry had to open Xie Changchen's letter and let herself feel a little bad and get comfort from Xie Changchen's heart.

Sure enough, after reading Xie Changchen's letter, the corners of Mei Berry's originally down-skimmed mouth slowly curled up again.

Because there are people around Xie Changchen, sometimes Xie Changchen does some serious things and people around her will tell her, so when Xie Changchen writes private letters to Mei Berry, he rarely says anything very serious.

Instead, Xie Changchen observed some interesting things in his busy time.

I probably know that plum berries are a face control thing, and Xie Changchen's gift to plum berries also has a lot of exquisite jewelry, and the gems inlaid on it are very extraordinary at a glance.

And at the bottom of those objects, there is also a tonic from Xue Laotuo, who has been thinking about Meiberry's body.

Xue Lao also uncharacteristically stuffed the letter he wrote to Mei Berry under the medicinal herbs.

It's like being afraid of being seen by Xie Changchen.

Mei Berry finally took out the letter that Xue Lao had given him and looked at it.

Good guy, the medicine that Xue Lao said in the letter was that they were all medicinal materials from the year on Xueyun Mountain in Hanzhou, and some of them didn't even have Xie Changchen.

Let her not tell others, she must not live up to his wishes, and take medicine well.

But how can she not tell others about this kind of thing that is favored, and not "snort" a little?

So, when these tonic plum berries were given to Tian Qi as required and asked Tian Qi to do according to Xue Lao's prescription, Tian Qi heard these things that Mei Berry said.

It's just that when Tian Qi finished listening to it, he turned his head to look at the proud little expression on Mei Berry's face, but Tian Qi's mind was in a trance and remembered what his stepfather said to Gu Beiwang and Xie Changchen respectively last year:

"This is the old man's exclusive secret recipe, for you, the old man specially added the medicine to you, that Gu Beiwang (His Highness) doesn't have! Hurry up and give it to the old man to drink, don't let down the old man's hard work! ”

At that time, Tian Qi, who participated in cooking medicine from beginning to end, wanted to say, except for the different proportions of individual medicinal materials, where is there anything that no one else has?!

His stepfather is fooling people again!

Xue Lao, two ways to coax people to take medicine:

1. The hard means of scolding and beating.

Second, when you meet people, you will coax "you are the most special, don't live up to the old man's wishes".
