Chapter 404: Dowry
Although Zhuzhou is one of the four eastern states, if you take a closer look, the boundary is actually in the southeast.
And it's not even May, when the weather here is getting hot.
"My face!"
When she opened her eyes in the morning, Mei Berry was directly awakened, not only sweating all over, but she even had two acne on her face!
In the morning, Mei Berry came to the doctor to diagnose the pulse, and Mei Berry wanted the doctor to prescribe a little acne plaster, but the doctor said that Mei Berry was caused by too much moisture and strong liver fire.
I know that the humidity is because of the climate here, but this liver fire...... Mei Berry was also weak when she was told by the doctor.
Didn't she secretly read two more pages of the book last night?
Mei Berry immediately laughed at Shang Qingshi and Yin Jiu's gaze, and responded to the doctor's words and two pairs of bitter decoction to remove the fire.
···
"Shhhh
Mei Berry drank the unpalatable bitter decoction, and Jia Jiu came over to deliver the news, saying that Mei Youqian and Wei Meili were coming with Xue Lao.
Now that they are all ashore, it is estimated that they will be here in two days.
When she heard that her parents were coming, she was also very happy, but when she thought about the reason why they were coming, she was still a little nervous and shy.
When the imperial capital was chaotic because of the overturning of the case by Prince Changping, it was the day when she and Xie Changchen got married.
Thinking about it now, step by step from the beginning to the present, Meiberry only feels like everything is like a dream.
Even yesterday, Meiberry received a letter from Meiyou, and Meiyou is also trying to find a way to come.
Mei Berry couldn't imagine how lively her wedding with Xie Changchen would be!
···
After Mei Youqian and Xue Lao arrived in Zhuzhou, they were not in a hurry as Mei Berry imagined.
Anquan County has now resumed development, and the street is much more lively than when the plum berries first arrived.
"Don't be in a hurry to go first, I asked when I took the boat before, and I guess it will be June."
Mei Youqian and Wei Meili didn't just want to play this time, otherwise they would have to hammer them with Xue Lao on the side.
"Why did my good daughter marry someone in the blink of an eye?"
Mei Youqian followed behind Wei Meili, and the husband and wife were shopping.
Whether it is Xianyao or Yanzhou, it is not a wealthy place, and it is definitely not a worry to eat and drink on weekdays, but good things are not common.
After Mei Berry and Xie Chang got married, the couple was worried about the dowry.
Although they also roughly showed the dowry (yin piao) when they were married, the more they thought about it later, they felt that it was too rough.
Besides, the 20,000 taels of silver that their family has saved in the past few years seems to be a lot, which is a drop in the bucket compared to Xie Changchen.
Hearing that Zhuzhou was rich, the couple began to buy and buy as soon as they landed.
"The gold and silver jewelry, the pearls, the silk cloth, and the title deeds...... Leave some more silver at the bottom of the box, and the godfather said that he will also prepare one at that time, so that we can carry it to him empty.
But I guess it's the last year's traditional Chinese medicine, since the beginning of the year, I see that my godfather seems to be exchanging medicinal materials with people in Fucheng~"
After a day of shopping, the couple calculated the dowry for the plum berry when they rested in the evening.
The first time to cross, the first time to marry a daughter, the identity of the object that this daughter is looking for is quite high, so they were caught off guard and didn't know how to get it.
"Alas! I didn't promise it so quickly last year after I knew it~"
Mei Youqian and Wei Meili calculated for a long time, scratching their heads, completely forgetting that the reason why they agreed to marry so quickly was because he shouted out in front of so many people.
Once this ancient people's love affair was exposed, it was different from later generations.
If you want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, that's absolutely not okay.
"Oh, when the time comes, add the fat tiger to the dowry~ The fat tiger will be counted alone~ Forget the mule treasure, follow the two of us in the future~"
This time, Wei Meili also brought a fat tiger.
In the past two years, the fat tiger has been fed more oily and smooth, full of momentum.
She could imagine that the fat tiger would squat on the dowry box at that time.
"If it doesn't work, I want to bring our egg yolk with me."
The egg yolk is the hen that produced double eggs per day in the previous system of plum berries, and for so many years, the egg yolk still maintains the ability to produce double eggs per day.
Now in Xianyao Mansion City, Mei Berry's mansion and Mule Bo are still star-level animals.
No one has ever seen a mule that has to compete with a horse every day;
No one has ever seen a hen that produces double eggs every day and follows the mule everywhere every day.
No one has even seen mules and hens on a front line to recruit cats and dogs!
The animals that fled with them from the beginning are now doing quite well.
Now that he comes out alone with Fat Tiger, sometimes Wei Meili and Mei Youqian are worried that Fat Tiger will be lonely, but Fat Tiger uses actual behavior to tell others that his little day is beautiful.
Meimei is now lying on the small couch in their couple's room, holding the dried fish and falling asleep.
"Let's buy it all the way, and when we buy it in Fucheng, it is estimated that eighty-one dowries are enough~"
The husband and wife's temporary preparation of a dowry for Mei Berry soon spread to Mei Berry and Xie Changchen.
"Actually, you don't have to ...... like that."
Plum Berry is very touched by the love of her parents, although sometimes their love makes Plum a little embarrassed, but the first time Plum Berry heard this, her eyes were red.
Seeing this, Xie Changchen warmly comforted him, and finally coaxed Mei Berry's mood, but he listened to Mei Berry's words: "Why does this become a relative spend so much money?" ”
Xie Changchen: ?
While waiting for his father and them to come, Qi Jinghao, who had promised to write a countermeasure to Meiberry in ten days, came to him.
Mei Berry was shocked by the thick dark circles under the other party's eyes!
"Lord Qi, you, haven't you slept for a long time?"
"No, every day the officials sleep."
said that he slept every day, but Qi Jinghao was still weak when he spoke, and Mei Berry was really worried about Qi Jinghao's sudden death.
It's not a one-shot deal for her to find someone to work for.
"B13, please come over ......"
Mei Berry whispered in Yin Jiu's ear, and after Yin Jiu left, Mei Berry also asked Qi Jinghao to sit down first, and asked someone to serve him a cup of ginseng tea.
"This is the wisdom of the people gathered by the lower officials for many days, and the reform decree on Zhuzhou."
"Hmm......" Mei Berry's eyes suddenly widened when she saw what the other party had written.
For the first time, she met someone who could write better than herself!
When more than a dozen excerpt-like things appeared in front of Meiberry's eyes, Meiberry almost didn't do a good job of expression management!
This person has more than one book a day on average!
"Lord Qi, you ...... too"
Mei Berry took the fold and roughly glanced at the fold, then looked up at Qi Jinghao, and immediately understood where the dark circles came from.
And Qi Jinghao seemed to be a little unable to sit still, just drank half a cup of tea and stood up and saluted Mei Berry, saying that he wanted to go back and rest.
B 13 hurried over with a medicine box on his back, just in time to see Qi Jinghao go out, and then Mei Berry ordered B 13 to follow Qi Jinghao home today, and watch all the way.
Sometimes, the pressure of middle-aged people works overtime, and it is easy to have an accident when you relax suddenly.
Plum berry thinks so, and she thinks so.
Mei Berry hadn't finished reading what Qi Jinghao had written, and Jia Jiu immediately rushed over and said that Qi Jinghao was planted straight to the ground when he got off the carriage, if it wasn't for Yi Thirteen who grabbed this person, he could have fallen down and died directly.
"It is said that you have to stay in bed to recuperate, and the specific time, B 13 can't say clearly."
Plum Berry remembered that she had seen some of the folds earlier, and sighed.
This is also because of her, Mei Berry immediately changed her clothes, picked out some tonic medicine and went to visit the Qi Mansion in person.
However, it is different from the unconscious and sickly face that Meiberry imagined.
Qi Jinghao fainted this time and woke up as if he was in confinement.
When Mei Berry arrived, he was sitting on the bed, wearing a forehead, and was holding a bowl of nourishing decoction.
Qi Jinghao breathed a long sigh of relief after eating: "Bring me another bowl of ginseng chicken soup, this time the loss is too fierce, I have to make up for it!" I can't let those villains show their faces in front of the county monarch and the prince while I'm away! ”
Plum berry: "......"
Fame and fortune fanatic - Qi Jinghao.
Qi Jinghao: In this Zhuzhou, how dare any little B cross me to curry favor with Shangguan?!
Plum berries: ......
