The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

54 Rejection 1
Liang Gaoshan had a bitter face: "Girl, I'm afraid I'm going to offend Mr. Li now, and I know whether he will attack my family!"

Mai Xiang: "Daddy, don't worry too much. Master Li has no foundation in our county. Now, he still has to rely on his little uncle for help. At least within half a year, he will not dare to lay hands on our family! There are two more In the next month, my brother is going to take the entrance examination for children, as long as he passes this hurdle, then he will be fine!"

Rongguo's children's examination was presided over by the county magistrate.If you want to test for talent, you will go to Fucheng, where the Master Xuezheng will preside over it.Moreover, General Fang had warned Master Tong, believing that Master Tong would not dare to attack Pinellia in scientific research.

Liang Gaoshan still frowned: "Ban Xia is fine, but what about your fifth younger brother Huang Lian? At that time, wouldn't you be stuck by Li Daren!"

Mai Xiang comforted: "Don't worry, Dad, how old is Huang Lian? By the time Huang Lian takes the child's exam, Lord Li has already transferred away! The worst thing is that a county magistrate works in one place, that is, two six-year-olds. years. After six years, he will definitely be transferred. Under normal circumstances, the term of office is three years."

"Oh, so that's the case. If that's the case, I can rest assured." Hearing what his daughter said, Liang Gaoshan finally felt more at ease.

He said he was relieved, but in fact, he was still very disturbed in his heart.

When Li Zhengyi returned to the county government office and stayed alone in the small courtyard behind the county government office, a hint of ferocity finally appeared on his warm and jade-like face: Liang Maixiang, you are doing well!Unexpectedly, dare to treat me like this.One day, I will let you know how wrong it is for you to reject me!

When Hua Yangfan came back from a business trip, Hong Liang came to the door with an anxious face: "Yangfan, I went to your third sister's house with my lord yesterday, and your third brother-in-law resolutely rejected my lord's marriage proposal. It can be seen that my lord is very unhappy , almost broke out on the spot!
In order to give adults a step down, I quickly smoothed things over and told your third brother-in-law to let him and Mai Xiang think about it, and I will give you an answer later.Your Excellency gave you a five-day deadline, do you want to go to Liangjiaao again and try to persuade Mai Xiang? "

Hua Yangfan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I will take a rest tomorrow and go to Liangjiaao."

He wasn't even [-]% sure of the possibility of convincing Mai Xiang, but he still had to go.It is enough to offend Master Tong.At this moment, he regretted extremely, regretted that he had said good things about Mai Xiang in front of adults, intentionally or unintentionally, in an attempt to win over Mai Xiang and adults.

Now, he is simply shooting himself in the foot, and has brought troubles and hidden dangers to Mai Xiang's family.Speaking of it, his heart is very complicated, he is angry at Mai Xiang for not knowing good and bad, and has no big ambitions, but also regrets his improper operation.Today, it is very likely to harm others and oneself.

Within half a year, Master Li will definitely not attack him, and will still reuse him and rely on him.However, half a year later, it will be hard to say.If one fails, his position as a headhunter may be lost.Because Lord Li didn't know that he was related to General Fang.

Maybe, when will you reveal it to Mr. Li?
Early the next morning, Hua Yangfan went to Mai Xiang's house.

At this time, Mai Xiang had just returned from running in the back mountain.

Seeing Mai Xiang, Hua Yangfan was a little embarrassed.

Mai Xiang was very natural, just like in the past, she shouted enthusiastically: "Little uncle is here, please sit down quickly! You are thirsty, I will make you a pot of Kung Fu tea!"

"Hey, okay!" Hua Yangfan replied uncomfortably, walked over by himself, and sat at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

Next to the stone table, there is a ten-year-old fragrant pear tree.

At this moment, the fragrant pear tree is full of fruits.

Mai Xiang came out with the tea set, made a pot of tea, reached out and picked a few fragrant pears from the tree, washed them in a fruit basket woven from bamboo strips, and put them on the stone table: "Little uncle, let's eat a pear , the taste is very good!"

There are no pesticides in this time and space, and the air is very fresh and clean.There is no need to peel the pear, just eat it like this, and there is nothing wrong with it.Anyway, ever since Wang Moju became Mai Xiang, she didn't peel the fruit when she ate it.In other words, even if she wanted to peel it, she didn't have a fruit knife.

Hua Yangfan unnaturally took a fruit from the fruit basket, bit it down, and immediately had a crunchy and sweet taste in his mouth: "Well, it's not bad, it's much more delicious than the ones bought on the street!"

Mai Xiang smiled and said, "If little uncle likes it, bring some for little aunt to eat when he goes back."

Hua Yangfan nodded: "Okay, thank you!" The word thank you blurted out.In the past, he never said thank you to the third sister's family.Because, this is too outlandish.

Mai Xiang sighed: "Little uncle, what do you say in the family, but I just gave you some fragrant pears, so there is nothing to be grateful for. Are you treating me like an outsider?"

Little uncle, there is still a gap with her.

Hua Yangfan's heart couldn't help being pulled hard, and he quickly argued: "No, I didn't have an affair with you, it was a slip of the tongue. Little uncle, how could I have an affair with you?"

Mai Xiang: "It's fine if you don't have one. It's inappropriate for us to divide our lives for an outsider. We are relatives who depend on each other. No matter what the outsider is, he's still an outsider! Little uncle, let's stop here about Mr. Li. , don’t think about it! In the future, you will still be my little uncle, the same as before, I hope there will be no barriers or conflicts between you and me. In my heart, you will still be my little uncle who is as close as family, that The little uncle who takes good care of me. In the future, if my little uncle needs my help, just ask, don’t be unfamiliar with me. We don’t have many relatives in our family, and there is only one little uncle. I don’t want my mother to have two There are no brothers or sisters who can be close!"

Hua Yangfan sighed, and suppressed what he was going to say in his heart.It seems that Mai Xiang really has no thoughts about Master Li, and if she tries to persuade her again, she will only be pushed further and further away.When the time comes, he doesn't want to be unfamiliar with her, he will be unfamiliar with her.

"Okay, little uncle knows! Little uncle promises that he won't think too much, it's still the same as in the past, we all love each other, support each other, and rely on each other!" Hua Yangfan finally had a bright smile on his face.

After making up his mind, he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and he was no longer heavy.The uneasiness on his face is gone, and he can smile brightly.

Fortunately, he didn't mention Master Li before.Otherwise, where would there be such a good atmosphere.Alas, the matter of Mr. Li, let's stop here!The path of life still depends on Mai Xiang to choose by herself, even if he is a little uncle, he cannot be replaced.

After lunch, Hua Yangfan didn't mention a word to Mr. Li. Mai Xiang was very happy, so she took her uncle to the back mountain and picked a big basket of fruits for him: "Little uncle, these fruits bring Go back, keep half for yourself, and divide the remaining half into two shares, half for my aunt's natal family and half for Brother Situ!"

Hearing this, Hua Yangfan's heart couldn't help but churn, and he couldn't help asking: "Mai Xiang, are you really interested in Situ Changfeng?"

Mai Xiang shook her head and smiled: "Little uncle, I'm only 13 years old, and I'm still a child! I said a long time ago that if you are under 15 years old, you will never think about it! If you get married, you must be full!"

Hua Yangfan: "In that case, why are you being so nice to Situ Changfeng?"

Mai Xiang couldn't help laughing: "Little uncle, Brother Situ is your friend and my savior. He has saved me twice, so I have to show something to my savior, right?"

Hua Yangfan was stopped by the question, and was silent for a while.

Mai Xiang: "Little uncle, let me tell you again, I will not marry a civil servant. Those scholars, who are full of benevolence and morality, are full of benevolence and morality. In fact, many people have dirty hearts. Most of the scholars are powerless, and if they encounter any trouble, they don't even have the ability to protect their wives and children!
Let’s just talk about Mr. Li, his family is so poor, if he takes office in another place and encounters a bandit road bully on the way, he will have no choice but to catch him without a fight, without any ability to protect himself.Because of poverty, he didn't have a lot of money on him, and when those bandits and road tyrants got angry, their lives were very likely to be lost!What is the use of marrying such a person?Marrying such a person is better than marrying a farmer! "

Of course, that's all she said, if she were to marry a rural guy who couldn't read a few words, she wouldn't be happy either.However, between Li's people and the peasants, she might still choose the peasants.After all, peasants will not take concubines in the future, nor will they go to romantic places.With that alone, Master Li is doomed!
Hua Yangfan was speechless.

This is the biggest difference between men and women.

From Hua Yangfan's point of view, it is quite normal for a man with some ability to have three wives and four concubines.A capable man will be looked down upon if he doesn't have a concubine.

Whether there is a concubine or not seems to be a status symbol in this world.

Although, Hua Yangfan is not a lustful person, nor does he plan to have three wives or four concubines.However, he thinks it's normal for men to take concubines, and he doesn't have the same disgust as Mai Xiang.

Because of this, he is so optimistic about Mr. Li.He felt that Master Li would never abandon his wife in the future.At most, it's just accepting a concubine.It's a godsend, that is, marrying a girl from a wealthy family as an equal wife, no matter what, Mai Xiang is still the wife of the house.

It's a pity that Mai Xiang comes from the future world, not to mention her husband marrying an ordinary wife, even if she takes in a housemate, she will not be able to accept it, it will be unbearable.Therefore, Master Li is not attractive to her at all.

In a blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Pinellia successfully passed the child's exam.

Mai Xiang sent him to the best academy in Qinghe County again, and told him: "Second brother, you must study hard. Eldest sister hopes that you can be admitted as a scholar in the future. With your fame, no one will dare to bully you in the future. Now that we are home, you don’t have to be drafted into the army anymore!”

According to the law of Rongguo, as long as a man is not an only son and reaches the age of 15, he must be conscripted into the army.This trip will take at least three years before returning home.In ancient times, soldiers who were conscripted into the army, six out of ten, never returned.

Ban Xia clenched her fists tightly and assured her elder sister: "Don't worry, elder sister, I understand! I will definitely study hard and try to pass the scholar exam before I turn 15!"

Mai Xiang reached out and stroked her younger brother's hair: "You should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't put too much pressure on you. The elder sister sent you to school, but she didn't intend to let you become an official. The elder sister's expectation is to hope that you will pass the exam. Talent, that's all!"

Ban Xia only felt a warm current in her heart, flowing all over her body.
