223. Chapter 223 Chang Xia
Chapter 223 Chang Xia
Meiyou didn't know if Meiyou had any grudges with others, but Meibei knew that she had spent a lot of money just to say such a thing.
Suffered a loss!
At this moment, her mother's cry could still be heard in her ears: "Where's the meat for my dumplings!"
Meiberry sighed silently, and stared at Xiao Hui who was standing in front of the empty basin. At this time, the expression on Xiao Hui's face looked very innocent.
Meiberry sighed, picked up the basin and waved Xiao Hui away. She took a deep breath and was ready to go back and be sprayed by her mother.
However, just at this moment, the guy from Jiubaoxuan at the entrance of the courtyard came over.
The guy pulled a cart full of things and said he was here to give them New Year gifts.
Some are for Mr. Xue, and some are for Mei Mei and Mei You.
During this interruption, Wei Meili also forgot about the disappearing pot of meat.
They were touched by the plum berries as a new year's gift from Jiubaoxuan this year, but also felt a little undeserved.
"Well, you have taken so much care of us during this period, and we have nothing in return."
"Mrs. Mei, you have gone too far. Didn't you also give us New Year's gifts? This is what we should be doing."
Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma did send gifts yesterday, but what they gave was nothing compared to what Jiubaoxuan sent back.
Although the two of them also spent a lot of money to buy things here in Yue Liao, the expensive things here are still the same.
Meiberry and Meiyou helped their elders move the things back. When Meiberry received a brocade box, the man came closer and whispered to Meiberry that this was for her alone.
Mei Bei was stunned when she heard this. She raised her head again and saw the boy nodding in a hinting manner.
Soon, people moved other things in a hurry, as if nothing had happened.
Meiberry pursed her lips when she saw this, and whispered her thanks when no one was paying attention, and then took the brocade box back to her room.
Before she got busy yet, Meiberry sat alone in the room and opened the brocade box.
Most of the things inside are the fashionable rouge, gouache and jewelry that young ladies like today.
This style of plumberry has never been seen in Yue Liao.
In addition, there is a beautiful purse and a letter in the corner of the brocade box.
Meiberry's heart skipped a beat when she saw the handwriting on the letter.
This handwriting was familiar to her, Mei Berry had only seen it not long ago!
She carefully opened the purse and found a handful of unrecognizable plumberry seeds inside.
"I'll give you a cotton seed and give me a handful of nameless seeds?"
Meiberry looked at the seed carefully for a long time. It was very good, but she just didn't recognize it.
The only thing that is certain is that it should not be eaten.
It was at this time that she opened the letter sent by Xie Changxu.
He still said hello at the beginning, but later mentioned that he was very interested in Mayberry's cotton seeds and hoped to have time to talk about it together next year.
Thinking of this, Mei Berry felt a little excited.
[System, if I take Xie Changxun to grow cotton next year, will there be a check-in? 】
【There should be.】
Meiberry: "..." What does "should" mean?
This system.
Mei Mei couldn't care less about complaining about the system. She continued to read down. At the end of the letter, Xie Changxu finally mentioned the flower seeds he sent - Changxia flower seeds ①
"Changxia, fragrant for a long time, rises in late spring and ends with autumn dew. The flowers are dyed crimson and round, like the glow of red clouds..." Mei Berry read the description of the seeds of Changxia in the letter, and for a while, he took the flower seeds in the palm of his hand without paying attention.
Hold tight.
"Hey, I've never planted flowers~"
Originally, Meiberry, who had just been a little hot-faced, suddenly remembered that she had been a ruthless master in the past, and her mind suddenly became clear.
"For cotton, we have to rely on the systematic cotton planting manual. What is Changxia...what should I do?"
Meiberry blinked and asked the system in a low voice in a daze if she knew how to grow Changxia?
The upshot is that it doesn't either.
"Hey! You are really good at the system!"
system:【……】
Chirp after chirp, the chickens are chickens to each other.
This year's New Year's Eve family banquet was hosted by Mei You's family, but Wei Meili was still in charge.
After Mei Mei came out of the room, she found Mei You and told Xie Changxu about what happened here before, and then told Mei You what Xie Changxu had written back to her.
When Mei Mei was talking, she was still immersed in why Xie Changzhen wanted to ask Mei Youwei something that would offend others.
She didn't notice Mei You's eyes at all when she learned that Mei Pei was fine and Xie Changxuan's "private message".
It was the cannibalistic look of a huge wild boar rushing into one's own vegetable patch to eat cabbage.
Just looking at Mei Bei's heartless look, Mei You didn't say anything to Mei Bei on her face, but made a silent note to Xie Changxu in her heart.
Old man, it would be a shame to miss their tender grass!
"Sister, why do you think he suspects that he is your enemy? Even if it is against us, it may not be against you?"
"What he said does make sense. If it wasn't for me, why would Ba Ying directly say that I was the one who killed the person when he identified the murderer?
In my family, my father and my mother, whoever takes the frozen fish will probably beat his wife to death, right?"
Mayberry: "Huh?"
Even Mayberry has fallen into such a strange circle.
Even he subconsciously felt that Mei You was the only one who could kill Aunt Ba.
When others directly pointed out that Mei You did it, everyone acquiesced, and no one responded to why Baying would identify Mei You.
"Tell me, if someone you know was killed near a certain house, would you identify the person who was most likely to do it when you asked the government officials to arrest him?"
"Yeah." Mayberry nodded.
"In our family, I am neither the tallest nor the strongest. Why do you think he reported the crime and insisted it was me?
Even if we have had some unpleasant experiences before, isn't it a little strange that you are the only one who doubts me?"
Even Mei You only reacted after being reminded by Xie Changxu.
Even she herself subconsciously believed that she was the strongest in their family, and any murder she encountered would indeed be related to her.
But how can Ba Ying dare to be sure?
People around her just think she is a slightly different girl.
At that time, Ba Ying came up to kill her and Aunt Ba because of the conflict. He said it was her doing it based on a bloody frozen fish.
So the person who killed Aunt Ba did seem to know their family well.
Know who to throw dirty water at.
"Our family has only been here a long time. How could someone who is not familiar with the place know us so well behind our backs?"
Mayberry now understands the seriousness of this, which is really distressing.
"The enemy is hiding what we are revealing..."
Meiberry muttered and thought for a moment whether she should actually spend money to buy the original book and read it?
It’s okay not to watch the plot if it’s distorted. Does she want to watch the people who appear in it, just in case?
[System, can I buy half of the book?]
【Okay, five thousand taels.】
Mayberry:???
She said she would buy half of it, so why is there no discount at this price?
Mei Bei was shocked, but Mei Bei was not convinced.
She even asked about this matter, and the systematic answer was - [You can buy the whole book and read half of it, but the discount is impossible~]
Meiberry secretly vowed in her heart that she would write a book in the future - "The Days My Useless System and I Hurt Each Other" to commemorate the time when she was pissed off by the system.
System: I also want to write a book "Those Years My Incompetent Barking Host and I Hurt Each Other" to commemorate it.

①Changxia is the carnation, a very cold-resistant flower. One of the more famous flowers in the genus Dianthus is the "carnation", also called carnation.
Dianthus' words: pure love, talent, boldness, feminine beauty.
Of course, what Xie Changzhen is expressing to Mei Qiang here is of course not a show of love, it should be a kind of appreciation + "flattering" hehe ~ a bold and capable girl ~
