The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 49 Accident 1
Hua Yangfan smiled and said to the old patriarch: "Today, I will accompany you to the streets and buy some gifts to bring back to the old people and children at home!"

The old patriarch said politely: "You are busy with your work, let's just go around by ourselves!"

Hua Yangfan: "I have three days of vacation, I will accompany you!"

Several old people gave Tan Yufang red envelopes, and each of them was quite a lot, at least half a tael.For them, this is a lot of money.In the past, perhaps they spent less than half a tael a year.He had to prepare some gifts, such as cloth and needlework, which are very needed in every family.

Tan Yufang understood her husband's intentions, and hurriedly said: "Father, mother, and uncles, I will cook at home and wait for you. Let's come home for lunch together at noon!"

After hearing her words, Mrs. Hua couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and slandered in her heart: As long as you can, so many people come to eat at home, and you will be poor if you don't eat.

The old patriarch smiled heartily: "Okay, I heard from Yang Fan that the food made by my nephew and daughter-in-law is very delicious! Today, we are lucky!"

Mrs. Hua moved her mouth, wanting to say something, but when she looked up at Tan Yufang, she met Hua Yangfan's stern gaze.She opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

This fifth child, I don't know when it started, she was a little afraid of him, a little afraid, and also very guilty.This feeling made her very uncomfortable.However, there is no other way.Otherwise, she would not go to the hotel if she was killed, and Lai would stay at her son's house.She would not go back to Mushroom Village without bringing her eight children from the eldest and second family and living here for three to five months.

Of course, fear of his son was one reason, and fear of the old patriarch was also a reason.

After shopping around for a day, I bought a lot of things, which cost Hua Yangfan more than ten taels of silver.A bolt of medium cotton, a batch of medium linen, two packets of pastry, one packet of sweets, and a sewing kit, each.Families with five to ten-year-old children each have a set of cheap pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Early in the morning of the third day, Hua Yangfan hired a carriage, and when everyone got into the carriage, the old patriarch took his hand and shed tears before he said: "Yangfan, you are promising, and you are also a good one! Let's go to Mushroom Village The ancestors will also feel very relieved to have someone as promising as you! In the future, if there is a boy who is promising and admitted to the scholar, when he comes to the city to study, please take care of him. Of course, I will definitely People in the village will not be allowed to come and cause trouble for you casually. The folks in Mushroom Village will never forget you!"

Hua Yangfan nodded respectfully: "I see, uncle, don't worry, I will definitely help if I can!" If the person who comes is sensible and good, he will naturally try his best to help.If the one who came was a rascal, a white-eyed wolf, he would keep a long distance from the other party, and he would definitely not act like an idiot.

After sending off his parents and the old patriarch, Hua Yangfan returned home, seeing his beautiful and diligent wife, his mood improved a lot.His wife was drying the clothes. He hugged her from behind and put his head on top of her head: "Yu Fang, you have been tired and wronged for the past two days!" , is enough for her.

Tan Yufang smiled softly and said, "I'm not wronged, nor tired. But you, are you tired these days? It's still early, why don't you catch up on your sleep, and I'll call you again when lunch is ready?" Anyway, there were no elders or servants in the family, so there was no need to worry so much about her and her husband.

Hua Yangfan let go of his wife, bent down to pick up a piece of clothing from the laundry tub, and dried it on the rope: "No, I'll help you with the work! Tomorrow, I'm going to work, and today I'll help you clean up the house. Clean it up."

Although the banquet was held at the dumpling restaurant, there were quite a few people who came to the house, there were a lot of old people and children, and there were melon seed shells and peanut shells everywhere.How long will it take to tidy up the big house that Sanjin relies on his wife alone?Besides, in his 20s, he finally married a beautiful and beautiful woman, how could he be willing to make her so tired?

Tan Yufang felt warm in her heart, her face was full of shyness and happiness: "Okay, then thank you!"

It's rare for a husband to be so considerate and diligent in this world.It is really a great blessing for her to marry such a good husband.The second elder brother and second sister-in-law, who had already separated and lived alone, still mocked her in front of her this morning, saying that she married an unreliable family.Her parents-in-law and sister-in-law look like that, she will suffer a lot in this life.

However, so what?As long as her husband is good enough to her, what does it matter if her parents-in-law are unreliable?Anyway, they don't live with her, and they don't see each other a few times throughout the year.Taking a step back, even if her father-in-law and mother-in-law have to live here in the future, she will not regret marrying Hua Yangfan.As long as her man is good enough, she can overcome and endure other troubles!

Otherwise, no matter how good the mother-in-law's family is, what's the use if the husband is not a good one?The person who shares the bed with her every day is not someone from her husband's family, but her husband who wants to stay with her for life!
Besides, her man also has an amazing niece Mai Xiang.This child is the best, both smart and wise, and a lucky star.Make friends with Mai Xiang, and don't worry about the day when your family is not prosperous!
Fahrenheit took the licorice and went back to Liangjiaao.

Shopkeeper Liang went to Fucheng for business, and Mai Xiang stayed behind, taking charge of the two shops where the guests came.

On this day, Mai Xiang sat in the accounting room of the dumpling restaurant, practicing calligraphy with a brush.

The clerk came over and shouted at the door: "Da Dong's family, San Dong's family is here!"

The third family refers to Hua Yangfan.

Mai Xiang was a little curious, now it's almost dinner time, if uncle doesn't go home to eat, what are you doing at the dumpling restaurant?

Just as he was thinking, Hua Yangfan walked in: "Mai Xiang, the county magistrate is here, why don't you cook yourself and cook some good dishes?"

Mai Xiang was a little stunned, and asked subconsciously: "The county magistrate is here, why do you want me to cook?"

Hua Yangfan was a little mysterious: "If you have time, go cook a few dishes! Afterwards, little uncle will definitely tell you the reason!"

Mai Xiang had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I understand." For the sake of being the county magistrate, and also for the sake of the little uncle, let's cook a few dishes!Please please the magistrate, it will definitely help my uncle, maybe the magistrate will be promoted in the future, and he can take my uncle to the government office.

Hua Yangfan reached out and touched Mai Xiang's head, and said with emotion: "My Mai Xiang has grown into a big girl too!" In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and the little girl at that time is now slim and graceful.No wonder, Master Tong's younger brother will take a fancy to this child.

Mai Xiang didn't think too much, and quickly cooked a table of good dishes, and asked the waiter to bring them up.She herself did not show up. Now she is 13 years old. In ancient times, she was a big girl.And the county magistrate is only in his twenties, and he is unmarried, so he really needs to avoid it.

Apart from the county magistrate, Situ Changfeng was the one who came to eat together today.

By the way, Situ Changfeng is now Hua Yangfan's subordinate, an ordinary catcher.However, his identity seemed to be very mysterious, the magistrate could not figure out his identity, so he was more polite to him.

Of course, Mai Xiang didn't know about this.The county magistrate also thinks so based on his feelings.

After lunch, the county magistrate couldn't help admiring: "Yangfan, your niece's cooking skills are amazing! This meal can be said to be the most delicious I have ever eaten!"

Hua Yangfan smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, sir, as long as you like it!"

The county magistrate said seriously: "I like her. I admired her very much. Now that I have eaten her food, I like it even more in my heart! Sigh, if I can eat her food every day, then I don't like it." No regrets!"

What this said is too ambiguous.

Situ Changfeng's gaze swept across the county magistrate, and then Hua Yangfan.

How is this going?Depending on the situation, something is wrong!
Could it be that the county lord has taken a fancy to Miss Mai Xiang? !
no!Miss Mai Xiang, that's the one he likes!

So, he said: "If adults like food, you can invite a cook who is very good at cooking to go to the county government to cook for adults. Mai Xiang is only 13 years old this year, and she is still very young. She has to learn Nuhong has to manage welcoming guests and worry about the hills in Liangjiaao. She doesn't have so much time and energy, and she often cooks for adults!"

While talking, he also gave Hua Yangfan a sharp eye.

Hua Yangfan only felt the cold wind blowing, and he was very puzzled.

Could it be that Brother Changfeng has also taken a fancy to Maixiang?
No, how can this work?Firstly, Changfeng is his brother; secondly, Changfeng is disfigured; thirdly, Changfeng is just a catcher, even before, he was just a guard.Compared with the county magistrate, Changfeng has no advantage at all!
Although the county magistrate is eight years older than Mai Xiang, the county magistrate looks gentle and looks very refined.Besides, the county magistrate has a clean family background, a brilliant literary talent, and is a promising civil servant.

By marrying the county magistrate, Mai Xiang can live a stable and comfortable life.If he was with Chang Feng, Mai Xiang would always be in fear, and Chang Feng didn't look like a rich man.Even if he could return to the general's mansion in the future and continue to be the general's bodyguard, he would at most be a sixth-rank military officer.

And with Mr. Li's ability and courage, even if no one pulls him out, within six years, he should be able to become a fourth-rank magistrate!Given time, maybe he could go one step further and become a Beijing official above the third rank.

All in all, Hua Yangfan is very optimistic about Mr. Li.He felt that Chang Feng was good to be a friend, but it was not suitable to be Mai Xiang's husband.

Now, Chang Feng seems to have that kind of thought about Mai Xiang, what should I do?However, he has great confidence in Mai Xiang, he feels that Mai Xiang will not be blind and will abandon Master Li and choose Changfeng.

After lunch, Master Li and Situ Changfeng went ahead, Hua Yangfan had something to say to Mai Xiang.

Before he could speak, Mai Xiang asked, "Little uncle, where is Brother Situ coming from?"

Sure enough, what to be afraid of.

Hua Yangfan's heart couldn't help beating violently, and he quickly pretended not to care and said: "He, actually, I don't know too well, he seems to be the general's bodyguard. It is said that it is because of his disfigurement that it is difficult to find a wife in the capital. So come here to practice for a while, to see if you can meet someone you are destined to meet here!"

He purposely bit the words "disfigured" very hard, hoping to arouse Mai Xiang's idea, so that he could look down on Situ Changfeng.

Unexpectedly, Mai Xiang gave a smirk: "What are men afraid of when they have scars? I think Brother Situ is very heroic and masculine!"
