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

Jiajiu was a little scared.

Especially when Mayberry was sitting there, saying nothing while eating snacks, staring straight at himself with an expressionless face, he really looked down upon his master!

The abrupt Jiajiu suddenly remembered what Yisan said:

"Don't you think Miss Mei Sanniang and our master are quite compatible as a couple?"

What was his reaction at that time?

Scoff and dismiss.

How does Mrs. Mei Sanni look like his master when she smiles every day?

And now - "Mrs. Mei Sanni, what do you want to tell me? I have something to do later..."

"Oh, I do have to ask you something."

Perhaps her little bad taste has been satisfied, and now Mayberry isn't angry anymore.

Mei Mei asked calmly: "When I was shopping today, I saw several shops selling soap on Central Street. Among them, only one sold flower glazed soap.

I looked at the flags and signs at the door, but there wasn't any company's logo. "

During these two visits to Guan City, Mei Berry walked around and noticed that every shop actually paid attention to its logo outside.

These are often hung outside shops and on trucks. They are a status symbol and also serve as a warning to people with malicious intentions.

She looked at several shops, and she couldn't say that she had seen them all in the Guan Market in Yandi, but at least nine out of ten of them were there.

Their shops sell more or less milk soaps in different sizes and prices.

There is only one that sells flowers and glazed soap. There is no sign outside the shop. After asking others, there is very little information about the owner. The only people around know that this shop has been open for many years.

It's so mysterious. It also sells flowers and glazed soap, and only officials and family members are allowed to buy it. The power behind the store is self-evident.

Likewise, being able to connect with Jiubaoxuan’s network is quite powerful!

In response, Jiajiu smiled slightly but did not answer. With that uncomplaining look, Mei Qiu couldn't figure out what it was?
Meiberry tried twice more, but seeing that Jiajiu didn't reveal anything, Meiberry changed the topic elsewhere.

"I went to Gujia Trading Company today. Didn't I remember that Gujia cooperated with us in snowflake salt? I saw that they didn't sell it in their shop in the Imperial Capital."

The reason why this was not sold was clear to Mei Berry, but it was just the geographical issue mentioned before.

In the imperial capital, Gujia has no right to sell.

However, she still mentioned it: "When I was in Sangzi Prefecture, I obviously found that the price of Gujia Snowflake Salt was very cheap.

Even if the cooperative firm here in the imperial capital is changed to another firm, why is the price still so high for other firms? "

Besides, it’s not like a trading company.

Several trading houses in the imperial capital actually agreed to the high price of snowflake salt.

Mei Berry has seen the price, and Mei Berry thinks that if you put it among ordinary people, they would believe you and others when you claim that you can live an extra year with one bite.

Otherwise, who is taking advantage of these outrageous prices that are hundreds of times more expensive than the ones sold in the four eastern states?
The funniest thing is that the names of these snowflake salts here are also varied, such as Yinshuang salt, Qingyue salt, Saixue salt and so on.

Anyway, only the name has changed. As for the quality of the salt, you can't tell the difference with the naked eye.

Is the imperial capital rich in people who are taken advantage of?
"Why do you think those are the snowflake salts sold by Jiubaoxuan?"

"Ok?"

Mei Bei was stunned, she didn't believe what Jiajiu said.

"Things are rare and expensive. It is difficult for those shops to obtain salt themselves, so naturally they are not willing to lower the price."

"Is it?"

Mei Mei looked at Jiajiu suspiciously, feeling that she was not telling the truth.

But Jiajiu was also very surprised why Meiberry would pay attention to this.

He asked curiously, and Mei Bei hummed twice and said, "I just want to observe the business that our Jiubaoxuan does."

After all, with those profits last year, Mei Berry thought about the possibility that soap would not be sold in the imperial capital.

By the way, I saw salt.

It's just that she visited so many shops but didn't see any shop with the Jiubaoxuan logo.

He is probably "hanging out" in some nook and cranny just like Gu Family Trading Company.

However, even without Jiubaoxuan, the items sold through Jiubaoxuan are still very popular.

"Mei Sanniang is very observant and meticulous. I can't wait."

Hearing that this was the reason, Jiajiu felt slightly relieved, but at the same time he was shocked by the details that Mei Bei suddenly noticed.

"forget it."

Seeing the tight fit of Jiajiu's mouth, Mei Mei could not help but look at him. She cupped her hands and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. No wonder Mei You would go out of her way to befriend Gu Lan.

Many friends, many paths.Especially when you want to know about another friend.

"You go down, the whisper is over."

Meiberry continued to eat the snacks and ignored Jiajiu.

But not even two minutes before Jiajiu left, Jiajiu came back again, with a letter in his hand.

"Do you have a letter from my mother or the others?"

Meiberry took the letter and subconsciously thought it was from her parents, but when she opened it and saw the expression on her face, she couldn't help being surprised, and then the expression on her face suddenly changed.

The downward curve of the corners of her mouth failed to curve back up in the end.

Meiberry's eyes felt inexplicably sore when she looked at the contents of the letter.

She wanted to reply, but she suddenly paused before writing.

When she looked at the letter and said not to reply at the end, the ink fell from the tip of the pen and splashed on the paper...

"You said Yang Qingyue is getting married?"

I chatted with Xie Changxun until the afternoon, and then Xie Changxun seemed to have something urgent, so he left first.

When Meiyou came back, Jiajiu stepped forward and told her about Meiyou's bad mood.

After hearing that she had received a letter from Yan Di, Mei You didn't care much. When she inquired carefully, she didn't expect that it was news from Yang Qingyue.

"Then being a side concubine can be called marriage?"

Meiberry was in a bad mood, and her tone of voice was unusually irritable.

Not to mention the prince, the emperor is here, and this "concubine" is still a little wife.

Mei You looked at Mei Pei's angry look and said, "Did Yang Qingyue write to you and tell you that he didn't want to?"

"No..." When Meiyou asked, Meiberry's face looked very unnatural.

Meiberry curled her lips as she spoke and said, "Although she didn't say she didn't want to, I can tell that she doesn't want to..."

Saying that, Mayberry became jealous again.

"She said that she was about to become King Wei's concubine, and that she might not be able to wait until we come back. She also wished me a 'splendid future' in advance, and said that she should seize this opportunity..."

But the more Mei Berry saw her writing like that, the more sad she felt.

Why didn't Yang Qingyue understand that her wishes were what she herself expected and longed for.

"You said her father was a bitch, so why did you give your daughter to King Wei? Sister, didn't you suspect that Yang Tingye was not real?"

Mei Bei now also feels that Yang Tingye is fake, "How can any biological father ask his daughter to be a concubine?"

"The other party is the King of Wei, and Yang Tingye is just the county magistrate. Ordinary people can sell their daughters for a few taels of silver, so how can they not be willing to give him the opportunity to rise to the top and marry the royal family?"

However, Mei You still didn't expect Yang Tingye to do this.

Doesn't this move directly show that he is the king of Wei?

She didn't believe that Yang Tingye had only taken refuge with King Wei at this time. Since he had already taken refuge with the King of Wei, he could just deploy it secretly, so why did he suddenly become so upright?

With such a blatant stance, could something important have happened?
"Show me the letter."

Mei You read Yang Qingyue's letter over and over again, but in the end she didn't find any useful hidden information.

But looking at the content of Yang Qingyue's letter to Mei Berry, she couldn't help but sigh that she had underestimated the other party before.

Although the other party was sentimental about being a concubine, he did not always express regrets about himself in his letters.

Instead, her letter was written to Meiliduo asking her to seize this opportunity. The lines were full of encouragement and expectations for Meiliduo.

"Have you replied to the other party?"

"No, she asked me not to reply."

"Well, there will be opportunities in the future."

Mei You didn't know how to comfort Mei Bei. She could see that Mei Bei really regarded Yang Qingyue as a good friend.

Even if they had some unpleasant experiences before leaving;
Even if he had warned Mayberry not to have more contact with him.

But fate is a very strange thing.

"After we go back, why don't we go to the capital city of Yanzhou and see her then."

They don’t know when they can go back, but Meiyou and Meibei are already looking forward to their plans to return home...

If you don't go back, you won't be able to go back.

The watermelon in the village is almost ripe;
And cotton has also gone to seed...
