Travel through different worlds and experience different lives

Mengli looked at them and wondered what they didn't understand. She asked with some amusement and curiosity: You are really good at hiding, tell me who it is?

Bai Xue blushed and said embarrassedly: They are a pair of brothers. Their parents are gone, and they are the only two brothers who depend on each other. When we first came here a few months ago, they helped us.

They had little money and could only make a living from the crops.

Our family is the poorest in the village. My elder brother is 26 years old now, and my younger brother is 24, and they still haven’t married.

There are few people in the village, and girls from other villages will not marry them.

The elder brother is Liming, and the younger brother is Wuri (the names are randomly chosen, without surnames, because at that time, names were either based on the weather or the sun and the moon, etc. This is just a rough name, after all, this is a fictional era)

Both brothers are very strong. Now there is no Xiangmeng Kingdom. The former capital is called Xiangmeng County, and other places remain almost the same.

At first, Mengli and the other two could not understand what they said. Mengli used her spiritual sense to check the consciousness of these ethnic groups and learned the pronunciation of their languages ​​before she could communicate normally.

Using the influence of spiritual consciousness, she taught the language of this place to Bai Xue and Bai Yue. Because Mengli used the method of spiritual consciousness imprinting when teaching, they learned very quickly and remembered it almost after just one reading, so now it is not difficult for them to communicate.

It was a bit surprising that after a few months, we were still able to develop feelings for each other.

Because Mengli had seen their sea of ​​consciousness, she naturally understood the customs of this tribe. She also knew that their thoughts were simple and honest, more simple and pure than anyone else.

Maybe this is because of the ancient times. Many people in various places just want to have enough food and clothing, or maybe it’s because the tribes in this place are too far away from the prosperous city and don’t have those complicated thoughts.

Now everything here is purely natural, with birds singing and flowers blooming everywhere. In my dreams, I have also taught the people here all kinds of skills, such as using trees to build houses, using silk to make cloth, and using all kinds of agricultural tools. In just a few months, the scenery here seems to have changed.

People from the surrounding area also came to learn, and Mengli taught everyone, making the people here richer and richer.

In almost a year, all the boys and girls here wore new clothes of various styles that they made themselves, singing and dancing happily. They also made their own drums and beat their favorite notes.

Mengli also feels very comfortable and at ease here.

Because Mengli always wore a veil, no one knew what she looked like, but they knew she was a noble person. The people here respected the mountains, the trees, the rivers, and now they also respected Mengli.

Mengli also made similar clothes for herself and put them on. Why do they look a bit like cheongsam?

It’s not cold here all year round, so there’s no need for cotton clothes. When it’s the coldest, all you need to do is burn some charcoal at home.

In two months this body will be 16 years old, which means they have been here for months.

When I first came here, the third day was the birthday of this body. But Mengli didn't care, so she didn't say anything. Later, Bai Xue asked Mengli: Miss, when is your birthday?

Mengli said directly: It has been more than two months, what happened?

Bai Xue and Bai Yue were stunned when they heard this, and said angrily: "Miss, do you know how important the coming-of-age ceremony is?"

How can you not care at all?

Mengli was speechless when she heard this: "I used to live in the cold palace, and I didn't know the importance of the Jiji ceremony. Besides, we are all away from home now, and there is nothing to celebrate. Don't every household live the same life without a Jiji ceremony? There is no meaning to the Jiji ceremony, right?"

Bai Yue said helplessly after hearing this: "Miss, no matter how much you don't care, you should at least tell us. We can make you a simple coming-of-age meal."

Mengli smiled and said: Then I will tell you on my 16th birthday, and it will be the same if you do it later.

Besides, there are no girls here who have a coming-of-age ceremony, isn’t it the same?

Bai Xue was speechless when she heard this: "Miss, children here don't need to have a coming-of-age ceremony, but some people start getting engaged on the day of their 15th birthday."

In other words, this day is their special day, and after the engagement, they will get married before the age of 16.

Only the favored daughters of officials would wait until they were 18 years old to get married, and they would all be engaged.

Mengli said indifferently: I don’t need to get married, so why bother with so much trouble? After you get married, I will go traveling.

Bai Xue smiled and said, "Then let's go play with the young lady. Anyway, Liming and Wu Ri don't have any family here, so we can go anywhere together."

When the lady decides to stay somewhere else and doesn’t want to leave, just give us a place to stay.

Even after we get married, we can still take care of the young lady. Now Liming and Wu Ri both know our language, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to communicate outside.

Mengli thought for a while and shook her head: You also know that the world outside is different from here. The people here are simple, kind, and cheerful.

They don’t even think about whether they will be cheated when they go out, but what if they learn bad things in the future?

Bai Yue thought for a while and said: That shouldn't be the case. If he learns bad things, the worst that can happen is we can get divorced, and then he will follow the young lady for the rest of his life. After all, we still have the young lady as a fallback.

Bai Xue nodded and said: Yes, at worst we can just divorce and never marry again, and just stay with the young lady.

Mengli thought about it and nodded: Okay, then I will give you a few shops and you can run them by yourselves, so you don’t have to work for others.

Then let’s wait until you get married before we leave. Go call Liming and Wu Ri, and I’ll ask them when they plan to get married.

Bai Xue and Bai Yue blushed upon hearing this and ran away embarrassedly. They were both older than the young lady, and in the end they had to have someone younger than them worry about their marriage.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't touched. After all, they have no relatives left, and the only one who can make decisions for them now is the young lady.

Even though they are no longer slaves, they still consider themselves as the mistress's maids.

Liming and Wu Ri arrived soon. These two guys were really good. Mengli liked them both in terms of appearance and character.

Mengli waited until they sat down before saying: We all have no relatives. Baixue and Baiyue used to be my maids. Later, my slave status was cancelled to them, but they still treated me like a lady.

So I will be the one to arrange their wedding. I told them before that I would leave here after they get married, and they want to follow me. I would like to ask what you two think?

Would you like to go out with me and Bai Xue and Bai Yue?

If you don't want to go out, just tell me. I can't let Bai Xue and Bai Yue get married and follow me around everywhere.

It depends on your intention.

The two brothers thought about it and Liming said embarrassedly: "Miss, if we go out with you, what will we eat? We don't have any savings. Here, at least we can still farm to feed Baixue and Baiyue. If we go out, we don't know how to do anything. I'm afraid they will starve."

Mengli smiled and said: Can I still use your money when I go out?

Don't worry, I have many shops. When I find a place that Bai Xue and Bai Yue like, I will give you a shop. Then you don't have to work for others. You can earn enough money from your work to spend on your own.

When you have children in the future, you won’t have to worry about having no food to eat.

It just depends on whether you are willing to leave here with Bai Xue and Bai Yue.

Besides, there are all kinds of people out there. Saying nice things but harming others is commonplace. I didn't want to take Bai Xue and Bai Yue away before because I was afraid that you would learn bad things when you went out.

Liming Wu Ri's eyes widened when he heard this and said, "Miss, we are all adults, okay? How do you feel that we are so easy to deceive?"

Mengli smiled and said, "Didn't Bai Xue and Bai Yue trick you into it?" Then she laughed out loud.

The two brothers blushed as they heard this, not because they were embarrassed, but mainly because the young lady was so much younger than them and yet she was teasing them.

Mengli smiled and said: Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. If you are willing to go out together, I will be very happy. Then you can go back and prepare for your wedding. If you need anything, ask Baixue and Baiyue to prepare it. It's enough for you two to be happy when you get married. There is no need to consider other people's opinions. But you still have to prepare what you need. Take these.

After saying this, he gave each of them one hundred taels of silver.

The two brothers were stunned when they heard this, their eyes were red. In their place, when getting married, they usually give the bride's family pigs, rice and flour, etc., and almost no money.

Their eyes were red not because they were moved by the silver, but because they were moved by the sincerity of this little sister towards them. They had lost their parents since they were young, and the life in the mountain village was not easy, so it was impossible to feed them regularly. They really grew up eating grass, wild vegetables and tree bark.

When they were able to go hunting, they risked their lives to get the prey, so that they brothers did not starve to death.

They all knew that with conditions like Bai Xue and Bai Yue, they could find a wife for a minor official. After all, with this young lady being older, it was not a difficult task. However, these three men did not neglect their brothers' poverty and were willing to take them with them when they went out in the future. This was the grace of giving them a second life. How could they not be moved?

No one has ever gone out from here. After all, they are all people from the mountain village and they are illiterate. Even if they go out, they can only do hard labor and may not be able to bring back any money.

After all, almost all of those who went out were captured and then became slaves. It was impossible for them to earn money. Even if they did, it would be useless. As long as they were slaves, they would be slaves for the rest of their lives, even their children would be slaves as well.

At least they are all white now, and this young lady is willing to take them with her, so how can they not be happy?

He was happy and said: Miss, you can get married in three days. Our family has prepared everything.
