My whole family is punching cards in the farming article to survive

"That's all. I owe you a favor, Master Xie. If I pay you for this bow, wouldn't it mean that my favor has been repaid?"

Gulan Youyou blocked Meiberry's idea of ​​using money.

Mei Bei was also speechless. Is this a way to return a favor to her?

Ah, no, how can I give the bow to myself, and then I can return the favor to Xie Changshu!
Lone Lan looked at the disappointment on Mei Bei's face, put the bow into Mei Bei's arms and said, "Just accept it for me. If you really feel sorry for it, you should personally give the money to Master Xie when you have time." Isn’t that enough?”

"He probably won't charge me any money."

Meiberry hugged the bow, lowered her eyes and touched it lovingly.

This made Meiberry feel more and more that this bow was really good, and it was hard to give it money.

From now on, doesn't it mean that she owes Xie Changshu a favor?

"or……"

"Hey, don't take it anymore. Since I have given you the bow according to Xie Changxu's promise, don't tell me about the remaining plum berries~ Why should such a beautiful scene have to involve such mundane things as gold and silver? "

While Gu Lan was talking, the tent was opened again. Mei Berry turned around and saw the man who had just gone out bringing a food box.

Just when Gu Lan suggested that everyone should sit together and catch up on old times after not seeing each other for a long time, the man had already placed several plates of exquisite side dishes and a bottle of wine on the small table on the couch.

After the man arranged everything, he left obediently, and Gu Lan took Mei Berry and the others to sit down on the couch.

As for the drink, Meiberry didn't dare touch it.

She just sat on the corner of the couch with a plate of snacks and a bow, listening to what Shopkeeper Ma and Gu Lan were talking about.

The two of them did not shy away from Mei Bei, and occasionally Mei Bei would say a few words if she understood.

"Yunzhou is quite cold. In previous years, when we took a boat to go north and entered Yunzhou, people on both sides of the strait would be noisy from time to time. This year... people didn't see much, but they saw a lot of water bandits."

"Water bandits?"

Mayberry was startled when she heard this.

"Yes, there are so many merchant ships going north. Yunzhou suffered such a disaster last year. To those who have fallen into the trap of bandits, our ships are like big fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered."

Gu Lan said that the water bandits were scary, but there was no fear on her face, which showed that the water bandits did not cause them any trouble.

"I only heard that a lot of people died in Yunzhou last year, and there were even rumors that corpses were blocking the river in the lower reaches of the Jinlan River... It seems that it has recovered now. But I didn't expect that although the river is open, bandits are rampant."

Meiberry was eating snacks, with her head lowered so that no one noticed anything.

"As for those who can survive in Yunzhou, and can still stay there..." Gu Lan twirled the wine glass, drank the wine with a sneer, and said, "Who do you think he can be a good person? "

"Didn't the court say it's out of control?" Mei Bei was clearly eating snacks, but she was feeling a little bitter. "If you can't survive, who would leave a good citizen to do such a thing?"

"Hahaha~"

I don’t know what Mei Bei said that made Gu Lan laugh. After laughing for a while, Gu Lan wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands and then stared at Mei Bei’s confused face and chuckled lightly, saying: “It’s the imperial court that doesn’t care about them. , If you don’t go to the court, what are you going to do with us people?
To put it bluntly, bully the weak and fear the strong.We can kill, but we can't touch dignitaries, right? "

Mom!
Mei Bei's scalp almost exploded when she heard her words. Can she say this in front of others?

Don't die? !
Mei Bei raised her head, and Shopkeeper Ma also glared at Gu Lan, saying that her words after a gulp of wine were not serious.

As a result, Gu Lan said again: "The imperial court only cares about good people, but it can't control water bandits. By the way, you won't tell anyone, right?"

In the end, she had to say this, and the "you" she asked was actually staring at Meiberry, who picked up the cake and smiled: "What did you just say?"

Lone Lan is very satisfied with the way Mei Berry is so knowledgeable.

She turned to look at Shopkeeper Ma and said, "When I go back, I'm afraid I'll have to use Dao Xianyao to leave by sea. Please help me find a way."

"What's wrong? You brought those fierce people with you, and you're still afraid of water bandits?"

When shopkeeper Ma teased Gu Lan, she glared at the other party: "It's not like you don't know what our Gu family does, so why don't you ask someone to be a guest and chat with you halfway."

Suddenly the business of Gulan's family was mentioned. Meiberry lowered her head while eating pastries and pricked her little ears to hear more information, but Gulan did not continue.

Gu Lan lowered her head and looked at her bright red nails and said: "I hate those men who look down on women the most, especially those men who have no ability and dare to boss me around based on their descendants, even if they are of high status..."

Lone Lan raised her eyes, the disdain and ambition in her eyes frightened Mei Berry.

Even if Mei You has great ambitions, her rebellion and ambition are not directly revealed like Gu Lan.Scary tight!
The key point is that when she said this, Shopkeeper Ma acted as if he was normal, not surprised at all, and even nodded in the end and said that he was helping Gu Lan arrange it.

After they finished chatting, Gu Lan remembered the wooden box that shopkeeper Ma had brought, and said she wanted to open it to take a look. Shopkeeper Ma didn't stop her and just said she could take a look if she wanted to.

Then, in the sight of the three of them, a box of flower-glazed soap and a small bag of white and delicate salt came into Lone Lan's eyes.

"You Jiubaoxuan are really brave!"

Gu Lan directly grabbed a small handful of white salt and put it in her hand, sniffed it a few times, and tasted a little more with her tongue. After final confirmation, she was amazed.

"Snowflake salts like this are quite priceless on the market, but you have come up with these. It's really..." She couldn't stop laughing as she spoke, but the light in her eyes became even more amazing: "Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"

"We can continuously provide you with this snowflake salt at this price." Shopkeeper Ma raised his hand and made a number sign with Gu Lan.

"really?!"

Now Gu Lan stood up directly from the couch, her breathing became rapid, and Mei Bei was so surprised that she looked up at him again and again, and then she turned to look at Shopkeeper Ma who was sitting calmly.

The gesture just now was not a simple number. Mei Qian hadn't figured it out yet, but Gu Lan's expression showed that Shopkeeper Ma had given her an extra discount.

"cost."

Soon, after the shock, Gulan's sanity came back online again.

She sat down again, raised her hands to tie up her long hair, and took out a long and thick hairpin from somewhere to tie her long hair up.

Her eyes never left Shopkeeper Ma's face.

With that kind of laziness and pressure, Mei Bei silently ate the snacks and watched the two big guys fighting in a daze.

So, what did Shopkeeper Ma bring him here to do today?

Have you met the "big world"?
Her mood fluctuated greatly tonight.

"The price is, we hope you can control the salt market in the four eastern states. Except for the government officials, you alone will eat [-]-[-]% of the salt market."

"It's exactly what I want. You don't have any other collaborators here in the east, right?"

After closing the box, it was obvious that Gu Lan also wanted to monopolize this business, which was a challenge that presented both risks and opportunities.

"No."

"If I help you eat this piece of cake, will it be enough for you?"

"Don't worry, the salt tube is enough."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Ma said, Lone Lan's eyes flashed slightly: "You have a salt mine, is there a lot of it?"

"It's okay." Shopkeeper Ma admitted without blushing or heartbeat.

Meiberry paused while holding the snacks, and continued to listen silently to Ma's shopkeeper pretense.

Well, the sea is so big, so it’s like a mine.

As he said this, Lone Lan's charming fox eyes glanced to the side, just in time to catch up with Mei Bei's little mouse's chicken-thief eyes when he was stealing food.

Without waiting for Mei Berry to apologize, Gu Lan immediately climbed in front of Mei Berry with her hands on the ground. She was so frightened that Mei Berry leaned back tactically, and finally she lay down on the couch because her core strength was not enough.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Mei Berry's inability to dodge, Lone Lan suddenly started giggling non-stop, and her breath smelled like alcohol.

"Mei Berry and I hit it off right away. Why don't you follow me back to Sangzizhou, and my sister will help you enjoy the ultimate happiness on earth~"

Shopkeeper Ma: "Pfft——"

Plumberry: Mouth.mouth?

Gu Lan is probably the boldest woman Mei Bei has ever seen.

As a result, Meiberry, who returned to her tent to rest and sleep, actually dreamed of Lone Lan and the so-called bliss on earth that she talked about...but the face of the person who shared her bliss woke her up again.

Plumberry is having a dream of love, quack, quack, quack~
When I was writing this paragraph, I always brought into mind the words Naran Daji said to Queen Jiang when I was watching "Fengshen" before (covering my face). The more I thought about it, the more sultry it became. I laughed in front of the computer and successfully attracted me. Mom "called" from the next room.
