Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 102
With the help of Mai Xiang and Ye Dafu, Wufu's marriage was quickly settled, and it was just waiting for Mrs. Liu to take the gengtie of the two families to count a good day.

As for the character and appearance of the girl from the Li family, Mai Xiang is a small girl, and it is not easy to inquire about these things, but she knows that the five blessings have found the other party, and hearing his tone, she is looking forward to this marriage, so Mai Xiang had no choice but to push the boat along.

On the second day, Mrs. Liu asked Sanfu to take him to the Reclining Buddha Temple, and asked the master to calculate a date. On the sixth day of August, he said that it was a combination with the two people. It's getting better and better.

This day is very much in line with Liu's wishes. A country family married a daughter-in-law, and they don't have much to buy. They have more than a month to prepare, which is enough.The woman's family did not raise any objections this time, and readily agreed.

Wufu just set a date here, and the Zhao family also sent someone to deliver a letter. The marriage of the winter solstice has also been finalized. It is scheduled to be on August [-]. The man is three years older than the winter solstice. This year is nineteen. I want to hold my grandson earlier, and Dongzhi is sixteen this year, so I don't want to delay it any longer.

Mai Xiang was delayed for a few days because of these trivial matters, and unexpectedly forgot to go to Tong's house to deliver the door curtain. It was Liu Huilan who delivered the things to Mai Xiang this morning.

"Master, it's a good thing you remembered it, otherwise, it would have been a big disaster." Mai Xiang smiled and tugged on Liu Huilan's skirt to act coquettishly.

"I thought you should have come to get things last night, but you didn't come last night, and I didn't see you in the morning, so I guess you must have forgotten." Liu Huilan pinched Mai Xiang's small face lovingly.

"Master, where's the junior brother? Is the master at home?" Mai Xiang then remembered that Liu Huilan didn't hold the child.

"Sir's uncle and aunt went down the mountain yesterday."

Mai Xiang went to Cao's house a few days ago. She originally wanted to get to know Mr. Li Ding, who is very mysterious in the legend, but she went several times and told him that he did not go down the mountain. I don't know if he likes the quietness and harmony in the temple. There is no competition in the world, because there are many topics of nostalgia with Cao Fu. In short, they lived on the mountain for several more days.

"Well, when I come back from the town to buy some good food for my wife, if there is anything my wife wants to buy, I will bring it back together." Mai Xiang thought that it was time to add some raw materials.

"I'd better go with you. The yarn materials are gone, and the silk threads are almost there. I'll pick some by myself. It would be even better if there are shredded silk or satin in the cloth shop that are cheaper." Liu Huilan said.

"Okay, I'm just thinking about when I can go shopping with my mistress when I have time, my wife's vision is much better than mine."

Mai Xiang is telling the truth. Although Liu Huilan is a maid, she grew up in the Cao family since she was a child. She is two years older than Cao Xueqin. When the Cao family fell, she was already fifteen years old, and she has learned basically everything she needs to learn. Especially for the understanding and recognition of those silk and silk satins, it is not 01:30 that is better than Mai Xiang.

"Okay, you can stop filling me with honey, and the sky will be hot if you don't walk for a while."

Liu Huilan took Mai Xiang's hand and went out the door talking and laughing.How did they know that as soon as they left, Mrs. Sun entered Mrs. Zhao's room with a handful of twine on their back.

"Sister-in-law, two days ago I heard you ask your mother for the hemp thread for the soles of your shoes. I actually asked Sanfu to bring some from my mother's house. Is this enough for you?"

"That's enough, thank you third brother and sister. I just asked this casually the other day. My mother grows some ramie yarn in the vegetable field every year. Who knows that when I want to use it, it will be gone."

Mrs. Zhao took over the line and pulled Mrs. Sun to sit down. She had no one to talk to all day long, and she was already suffering from suffocation. If it wasn't for Mai Xiang restraining her, she would have gone out to find someone to brag about.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you are too out of touch. This is not a valuable thing. We have been together for so many years, who is who? You have asked me a lot before. A needle needs to be threaded, when did I argue with you about this?" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Sun sat a little closer to Mrs. Zhao, and picked up the soles of Mrs. Zhao's shoes to have a look.

"You didn't care about these things with me. You would have the best life in those days. How can you be like me?" Mrs. Zhao really didn't hate Mrs. Sun as much as she did towards Mrs. Qian.

Not only did Mrs. Qian embarrass Mrs. Zhao in public because of half a bowl of corn paste when Mai Xiang first arrived, but she also went to the door to grab eggs and rice. Later, she even quarreled with Mrs. Yu, and Mrs. Zhao also ate three meals in a row because of this Day of corn mush.

"What's better for me? It's just because I have few children. I can embroider a handkerchief to earn some hard money. How can I be as capable as your big girl? By the way, speaking of big girls, it's not me who praises her. This child is really Nothing to say, not only is he clever, but also has a good eye. My Mai Miao said that his elder sister would bring him a snack from time to time. A few days ago, he even sent us sauced meat. I knew it well. By the way, when it comes to Well, sister-in-law, how big are big sister's feet, why don't I make shoes for her, my needlework is worse than sister-in-law's, and it's more decent for my sister-in-law to wear it out."

Mrs. Zhao is having a headache because of these pairs of shoes. She is not a person who can sit down and do meticulous work. After hearing this, she hurriedly smiled and said: "It's a good feeling, so I will trouble the third brother and sister. Sole, I've glued it on."

"Sister-in-law, why don't you bother? Our family is poor and we can't help you with other things. How much trouble can a pair of shoes cost? Besides, I can't work in the ground now because of my body, and I can only arrive in one day. Snuggled up on the Kang at night."

"Who doesn't snuggle up on the kang all day long? The third brother and sister will be free in the future, let's talk more."

"Hey, I don't feel tired after talking and doing some needlework together. By the way, sister-in-law, how many are big brother and big girl?"

"Your eldest brother has gone to the head of the village, eldest ya has gone to Changning Town with the wife next door, and second ya and third ya have gone to mow the grass."

"Sister-in-law, can these sheep and rabbits eat more? Why do these two girls who see the sky go out to mow the grass, and then feed the ducks and geese when they come back?"

The sheep and rabbits raised by Mai Xiang have not seen any results yet, but the big geese and ducks raised by Mai Xiang have indeed attracted everyone's attention. Each goose must weigh four to five catties.

The most rare thing is that the ducks and geese don't even need to be fed with wheat bran. All day long, I saw the big girls rushing out early in the morning and returning before the sun went down, and brought back a few baskets of grass. It didn't bother me at all , So Sun also moved his mind and wanted to raise ducks and geese, because once Mai Xiang's family moved out, the duck pens and goose pens were all ready-made.

Of course, it would be even better if you could ask Mai Xiang for another pair of rabbits, because Mai Xiang's rabbits are pure white in color, and such rabbit fur can be sold for a few more dollars than variegated ones.

"Sheep and rabbits don't eat much, but your elder brother said, we need to get more grass and dry it, and save it for winter to feed them. Otherwise, where would we go to get grass in winter?"

"Then can these ducks and goose heads be sold in the winter? Such a big fat goose can't be sold for a bunch of money? These ten big geese are worth a tael of silver. If you can earn more than one or two taels of silver, sister-in-law, why not let Erya take our seedlings to raise geese together when spring starts next year, and our family can also buy land and build a house earlier." Sun's account came out soon.

"It takes so many ducks and geese to earn a tael of silver?" Mrs. Zhao was very disappointed when she heard that, and curled her lips.

"Yo, sister-in-law is so rich that she doesn't even care about a tael of silver?" Sun joked with a smile.

"When I got up early, I seemed to hear our elder sister telling my wife's wife that you can earn a tael of silver for each pendant you want to make." Mrs. Zhao smiled smugly.

"Sister-in-law, who did you learn this craft from? Have you ever seen such a coincidence with her before?" This question has always been a thorn in Sun's heart. She always feels that this Mai Xiang is not the same as the previous Mai Xiang. .

If one illness can change their temperaments, Ye Dafu and Zhao's narrow escapes are no more dangerous than Mai Xiang's, but they don't feel that their temperaments have changed a lot?
Also, has anyone ever seen a little girl who is less than ten years old speak and act more calmly than an adult?This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is Mai Xiang's talent, Sun does not believe that it is Mai Xiang from Liu Huilan Church, Liu Huilan has been living a miserable life before, and now she has borrowed Mai Xiang's talent Today, she knows this much better than Mrs. Zhao.

"Who else can I talk to? Isn't it the wife next door? You don't want to tell me that Mai Xiang has changed, right?" Mrs. Zhao is also a little vigilant now, remembering what Mrs. Sun said more than once This issue.

"How can it be? Sister-in-law, it's too late for us to be happy like this. Anyway, we really took advantage of Da Ya's light. If it weren't for Da Ya, where would we have the opportunity to eat some sauced meat?" , and those snacks, it’s not cheap for us. I’m leading our love.”

Sun quickly changed her tone. She came here today to show her kindness. She understood that now she must quickly establish a good relationship with Da Fang, because she also wanted to borrow some light from Mai Xiang.

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, her face softened a little, and she said: "This is not the same, unlike some people, it is not a thing, just like a white-eyed wolf."

Mrs. Sun smiled when she heard this. Of course she knew who Mrs. Zhao was referring to, and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't you make your in-laws angry that day? I think your younger sister also came the next day and praised a basket Come in."

"You said the winter solstice. She came to give Maixiang a purse. My family aunt found a lot of fresh patterns from somewhere. She said that a purse can be sold for more than ten pennies. My mother's family is embroidering this , I can earn a lot of money in a month, not only for tricks, but our big girl even sent their purses to Tong’s house.” Mrs. Zhao accidentally told the truth again.

"What are you talking about? Da Ya not only has fresh tricks for your natal family, but also sells purses for them?" Qian Shi came in and asked.
