Seeing that Meiyi still wanted to talk about things, Jiuli said: "Okay, okay, today is the first day of the New Year. It should be a happy day. If you have any work, let's talk about it privately. Come on, come on, children, line up.

The lord is going to give out red envelopes!"

The children of these ministers rushed to Meiyi one by one. Meiyi gave each of them a red envelope of silver coins and said to them: "One silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, which may not be much in your eyes."

, however, it is enough to allow children in some places to live for a month. We children in Ice and Snow City cannot just think about living a good life for ourselves, but we must also keep in mind the teachings of the goddess and think about letting all citizens live a good life.

Do you understand?"

The children shouted one by one: "I understand!"

After giving out the red envelopes, Mei Yi looked at the thick snow outside the mansion and remembered the scene of Mei Ai and Mei Shu playing in the snow, and Mei Yan sticking out her tongue to catch the falling snowflakes, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.

After the group visit, Meiyi, Jiuli and others went to the Emilia Temple in Ice and Snow City to participate in the blessing ceremony.

Seeing the portrait of the goddess Emilia (actually Helvier) hanging on the temple, Meiyi suddenly lost control of her emotions. She knelt in front of Helvier, burst into tears, clasped her hands, and prayed in her heart.

Said: Mei Ai, Mei Shu, Mei Yan, please be patient and patient. Dad will definitely pick you up and take the mothers with him. Helvier, please take good care of Mei Ai and them! In the past five years, I have

All supported by this belief!

The priests in the temple were moved by the piety of the great lord. They knelt down one by one and prayed to the goddess, asking her to bless the people of Ice and Snow City and the Elf Kingdom, and to bless the great lord.

After the blessing ceremony, Meiyi distributed red envelopes to the little priests who were born as orphans.

This time, Mei Yi did not see Caroline again. After asking, Priest Media told Mei Yi that Caroline was taken back by her family. She was originally the illegitimate daughter of the son of the lord of Wind Valley City.

He was not tolerated by his first wife, who had no son and a half daughters, and was thrown into an orphanage. After the death of his first wife, Caroline's grandfather took Caroline back as his heir. Otherwise, she would not have allowed Caroline to leave.

of.

Caroline just left this morning.

Meiyi sighed in her heart: Caroline, you are not an orphan at all. You have returned to your own home. This should be the best destination for you. In this life, you will never be remembered again.

There is me, the man who disturbs your heart.

When she saw Ilia, who was only ten years old, Meiyi bent down and asked, "Your name is Ilia, right?"

Illya nodded: "Yes, Lord Great Lord."

Mei Yi asked: "Priest Mediya often mentioned you to me, saying that you performed very well in school and in the temple. What do you want to do in the future? Maybe I can help you achieve it more easily."

Illya thought for a while and said: "I want to go to the main temple and choose to serve the gods for life."

Mei Yi was shocked, and then said: "Ilia, the main temple of Zhenling is different from the temple here. If you become a senior priest, you can no longer get married. Because you know the secret of the main temple.

, so I can no longer exit the main temple. Have you thought clearly?"

Ilia said: "I'd better think about it again. I want to be a cardinal, but I also want to be a bride."

Meiyi smiled and said: "You are still young, it's not too late to think about it later."

After saying that, Meiyi called Jiuli and was about to leave when a carriage stopped in front of the temple. A little girl jumped out and shouted "Brother Meiyi". Just as Meiyi turned around, the little girl behind her

She ran into his arms like a cannonball and hugged him tightly.

Seeing that it was Caroline, Mei Yi was surprised and said: "Didn't you go to Ice Valley City? Why are you back again? Has it been returned?"

Caroline said loudly: "No way. My grandfather who adopted me really likes me!"

Then, her eyes turned red and she said, "On the way, I remembered that I haven't said goodbye to you yet."

Meiyi nodded slightly when she saw the gray-haired and energetic Viscount Kahn of Wind Valley City in front of her.

Kahn took off his hat and nodded.

Meiyi hugged Caroline and said, "Well, I also want to say goodbye to you. If there is anything I can do for you, please send someone to tell me immediately. No matter where you go, Ice and Snow City will always be your home."

Your home.”

Caroline hugged Mei Yi's neck and said, "Well, brother Mei Yi, like Priest Mei Diya, you are the one who loves us the most."

Meiyi said: "When we arrive at our new home, we must get along well with our family. We cannot bully others, nor can we be bullied by others."

Caroline's nose twitched, and hot tears flowed into Meiyi's neck. She sobbed softly: "I am very good in the temple and don't want to leave everyone. But, I also want to have my own parents. Every time

When I see the parents of other children, I feel envious."

After sending little Caroline onto the carriage, Viscount Kahn greeted Mei Yi again and boarded the carriage. The carriage then started slowly and drove away from the Ice and Snow City.

Meiyi and Jiuli went to the market together.

The Bingxue City Market located on the upper reaches of the Luoshui River is one of the busiest markets in the north. Even during the New Year, there are countless business travelers here, which reminds Mei Yi of a saying - money never sleeps.

When Meiyi arrived, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were reading out the administrative orders from the lord's mansion.

Some merchants were filled with disappointment and said, "I've already paid the deposit, what should I do now?"

Humanity from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said: "This is an order from the Grand Lord, and it will take effect immediately from the date of announcement. The consequences of violating the Grand Lord's administrative order are clearly written in the law, and I believe there is no need for me to say more."

These merchants were frightened and kept saying: "We will definitely obey the orders of the great lord and will never dare to disobey."

Three years ago, when Ice and Snow City first developed, a large number of businessmen poured into Ice and Snow City, cheating, cheating, hoarding, and dominating the market.

Meiyi didn't use any thunderous means, she just arrested people and put the law in front of them. If they should, their property should be confiscated, if they should be sentenced to exile, they should be exiled, and if they should be expelled from Ice and Snow City, they should be expelled from Ice and Snow City.

It only took a month for these businessmen to realize that this big lord was a man of little skill and gradually became more honest.

Someone suddenly shouted: "The great lord is coming!"

Some merchants were immediately frightened out of their wits and quickly bowed to say hello to Meiyi.

Meiyi visited the shops on the commercial street door to door to listen to the opinions of these shop owners.

Jiuli followed Meiyi, feeling too bored and let out a long yawn.

After Meiyi visited a dozen homes, Jiuli couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Master, look at how lively the market over there is and how delicious it is. Let's go there together and have a look."

Meiyi said: "Well, let's go."

After a while, Jiuli grabbed a dozen skewers of various fried meat skewers in his left hand and a huge marshmallow in his right hand, eating them with satisfaction.

Meiyi, who was walking behind her, said: "Hey, Jiuli, pay more attention to your image. There are many people in our Ice and Snow City who regard you as the goddess in their hearts."

Jiuli said nonchalantly: "I'm not a goddess, and I don't want to be one. It's better to be disillusioned early than later when it comes to fantasy."

Meiyi has nothing to say.

Jiuli said: "Master, did you often go shopping with them before?"

Meiyi knew who "they" Jiuli was talking about, so she said: "Very few."

"Why? There are so many delicious things on the street!"

Mei Yi said: "It's not good to take the three of us to the street together. It won't be good to be intimate with anyone, so I simply won't go."

Jiuli said: "You are the only one who has a lot of things to do. You see, the great elf lord brings many wives and concubines, hugging each other, and has nothing to do. They also give gifts to each other and exchange concubines. Why do you have so many things to do?"

Mei Yi said with a gloomy face: "I don't care what other districts are like, and I don't care what other great lords are like, but in my Ice and Snow City, it just won't work! The daughters of my Ice and Snow City are equal to men, and I will work hard to make it so.

They live with equal pride and dignity."

Jiuli said: "Okay, okay, just talk, why are you serious again? It's already afternoon, I'm hungry, what should we eat?"

Mei Yi said: "You decide, I will."

Jiuli took Meiyi into a hot pot restaurant.

As soon as Meiyi saw the hot pot, she immediately said: "Jiuli, no, I feel uncomfortable when I see the hot pot."

Jiuli said: "Sorry, I forgot that your family used to eat hot pot a lot. Then let's change it to another one?"

Meiyi said: "Let's go home, okay? Liu Ji's family is still at my house. Let's spend more time together when we can. Maybe one day, we will never see each other again, just like Caroline

Same."

Jiuli was not unhappy at all and said: "You are right. Let's go home. But before I go back, I want to buy some snacks from the goblin restaurant in front of me, and I also want to buy a lot from the family restaurant.

A lot of braised food to go back to.”

Meiyi smiled and said: "You can make up your own mind, you don't need to discuss it with me."

When we returned to the Duke's Palace, it was already dark.

After I got home, there was a snowstorm outside.

Mrs. Liu Yin and Liu Ji were cooking, and Teacher Meizi was teaching Liu Li to read the teachings of the Goddess Emilia.

When the maids saw Meiyi coming back, they immediately took his and Jiuli's clothes, patted off the snowflakes on them, and helped them put on their home clothes.

Meiyi saw the maids in front of her and frowned: "Why are you still staying in the mansion? I remember you have been here for more than a year, right? Haven't you passed the high school night school exam yet?"

An elf maid named Zhuang Yuan said pitifully: "Great Lord, I'm a little behind in math this time. In the first quarter of this year, I will definitely work hard to pass the exam and go to the academy to study."

Meiyi said: "Mumu, what about you?"

The fairy maid named Mu Mu lowered her head and said, "I'm also a little bad at math."

The human maid named Fei Yue saw Mei Yi's eyes turned towards her and said hurriedly: "Lord Lord, I have passed the test of Mei Luowei High School! However, it is too far away from the Land of Wind, so I did not return.

I went home and bought clothes and shoes with the money I saved to bring the caravan to my parents."

Boom!
