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 Changwen, wearing a crimson robe and holding a plain paper umbrella, walked out of a cage of misty rain, and Jiaqi, who had already been waiting under the eaves of the corridor, closed his eyes and held his breath.

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

"Owner."

As Xie Changwen entered the house, Jiaqi handed the letter and brocade box to Xie Changwen.

Xie Changfan didn't rush to open it, turned around and stood by the desk and lit the Wuling incense that he always used.

It is a clear cedar fragrance, lit on rainy days, mixed with water vapor, mixed with moist water vapor, making people feel like they are in the dense forest after the rain.

"How is Jiayi recently?"

Seeing the incense rising slowly, Xie Changwen sat on the chair, then reached out and slowly opened the letter.

The content of A's letter was very simple, it just explained the recent arrangement, but he didn't mention a word about himself.

"My lord, he has been doing well recently, and occasionally he will meet Mr. Xue to recuperate his body."

"Um……"

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

"It's a good thing, but...is it actually made by the Mei family?"

Xie Changfan thought about the time he was in Yunzhou, no matter whether he stumbled into the absurd scene of the Mei family's quarrel by accident;
Gu Pinglu was rescued later, and the investigation fell to the Mei family again;
Even the ginseng in the medicine that I take care of my body is obtained from the Mei family;

Now, somehow, the property in his hands has been mixed with the Mei family.

Each of these things made Xie Changyan vigilant.

"The foster father's house was also lived in by Na Meier's family..." Xie Changwen lightly tapped the rosewood tabletop with his slender fingers, pondering for a long time, "Is it all... a coincidence?"

"Well, master, Mr. Jia said, you don't have to worry about the matter in Yunzhou, he will help you take care of it, and you have to be more careful in the imperial capital. Besides--King Qi is going back to Beijing."

"I know. Jiangnan has already handed over the news of King Qi's return. This time he visited Jiangnan, and I heard that he has won the hearts of many Jiangnan candidates. I don't know how many southern candidates are from King Qi this year."

The fragrance of mist gradually lingered around Xie Changwen's body. He leaned lazily on the back of the chair and tilted his head to watch the fight between the two birds on the branch outside the window.

For a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said: "Tell Wei Wang the news that Gu Ping is in the Yanzhou Camp."

***
"Since Jiubaoxuan has a way to sell soap to high-ranking dignitaries according to your idea, the people behind them naturally have backgrounds. It is not difficult to investigate us."

Mei Berry sent the things from Jiubaoxuan in the morning to Mei You, and told Mei You what she found.

Mei You only let Mei Berry relax. With their current strength, it is useless to be vigilant.

"Looking at their style, we know that we are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation, and they also know how to avoid suspicion for us and keep a low profile."

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

Mei Berry opened her own package before she got home.

Inside is a box of goat milk soap they made, a box of snacks, a set of rouge powder that my daughter likes, and a small bolt of high-quality plain silk.

"Do you need this?"

Meiyou looked at that box of rouge and gouache for a long time and still didn't know how to use it, nor did she want to use it.

"Eh... this face powder is pretty good. My mother saw it and said it can be used as prickly heat powder."

Mei Berry and Mei You are basically ignorant of these ancient cosmetics. Mei Berry even asked the system to check for any bad ingredients, such as lead powder.

But the answer given by the system was beyond Mei Berry's expectation.

It's rare that this box of rouge powder is actually made of natural ingredients, without any harm to the skin.

Before Mei Berry went to the county to accompany her father to see some rouge gouache stalls with more or less bad ingredients.

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

"My mother tried this lip balm. It improves the complexion without being ostentatious. You can also use it with your aunt~"

Mei Berry could tell that Mei You was really not interested in these things, but Mei Berry didn't intend to let Mei You send it out in a daze.

"You don't like it, but it doesn't mean Third Aunt doesn't like it? This hair oil smells like sweet-scented osmanthus to me.

When you were eating cakes at our house, I heard the third aunt mentioned that she likes the sweet-scented osmanthus flavor, you give this to the third aunt, the third aunt absolutely likes it~"

Hearing Mei Berry said so much, Mei You stared at the box of rouge powder and hesitated for a while, then she didn't intend to give it away, but looked at Mei Berry and said, "You are more careful than me."

"No hahaha, I always pay attention to some strange places." Mei Berry smiled, remembering that she came with her mother, and happened to meet Miao's to clean up the vegetable field, and her mother followed.

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

After chatting, the two went to Meiyou's vegetable field.

The vegetables in Mei You’s vegetable patch are all coming from behind, unlike the seeds that Mei Berry’s family had distributed systematically before, it can be seen from the early stage that they grow wildly and uncontrollably.

The vegetables in Mei You's house were regular and not conspicuous in the early stage, but when the time came, all kinds of vegetables were ripe.

"Oh, these beans are already old, if you can't eat them, how about pickling them into capers!"

"Don't like to eat capers? Then you can pick off the old ones and dry them in the sun. It's also good to make porridge out of the beans, or make them into dried vegetables."

"Yeah, the peas in your house are also the same. Don't you eat them on weekdays when they are old? You can also dry them and grind them into powder."

"There are also loofahs, well, loofahs are old and good, they can keep the seeds, and you can get loofah pulp, which is good for washing pots and bathing!"

Before Mei Berry and Mei You reached the vegetable field, they heard Wei Meimei's voice. Miao's voice was not too loud, but they could still hear what should be heard.

"There are so many dishes at home that I can't clean them up. I don't know if the second sister-in-law has finished all the dishes at your house? Why don't you take some back?"

"Oh, my family has a lot of vegetables. I'm like what you said just now. Our family eats what we can eat. If we can't eat it, we pickle it, dry it and put it away. After all, we can add some vegetables in winter."

There are still some that Wei Meimei didn't mention, and some are kept in Meiberry's space.

"Ah, that's okay. Second sister-in-law's vegetables are different from ours. You can take some back for a change."

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

Wei Meili specially picked two old loofahs and some fresh okra. When Mei Berry and the others came over, the two of them took the vegetables picked by the two mothers.

"Why don't you guys stop cooking tonight, how about having dinner at our house?" Wei Meili looked at the vegetables in her hands, and then remembered the vegetables she had picked in her vegetable field earlier this morning.

They are all fresh vegetables, there is no need to keep them for a long time after they are picked.

Wei Meiliang suggested: "It just so happens that the two men are not at home, let's have a good get together. Have breakfast, and you two will come back when the sun rises."

Wei Meili held Miao's arm in one hand, and there was a bit of coquettish taste in her voice when she spoke. Originally, Miao had a good temper and would not refuse, so she agreed.

But thanks to their mother and daughter's consent, they escaped an unnecessary disturbance.

When Mei Berry and Mei You were herding sheep at the foot of the mountain together in the early morning of the next day, Mei Berry was stunned when she heard Mei You talk about what happened to the two of them when they returned home yesterday evening!
"I'm going?! Auntie came to your house last night to have dinner?"

"That's right, it's my grandma who was angry with my grandfather and didn't cook... The aunt took Meian back to her mother's house again, but she hadn't come back then."

"She doesn't know how to cook?" Mei Berry couldn't accept Mei Jinhua's reason for opening her mouth, looked at Mei You sympathetically, and said, "Sister, are you being cheated on?"

"Hey~" Mei You sneered, and pulled the corners of her mouth, "She can be counted on, I said last night that our family just came back after eating at your house, and sent people back."

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