Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 318
As soon as Mai Xiang entered the old lady's room, she saw that the old lady was lying on the kang, and the emerald and emerald green two were doing needlework while laughing with the old lady.

"Come here, girl, come and sit down, the kang is warm." The old lady looked at Mai Xiang's belly and smiled.

Mai Xiang sat across from the old lady and said with a smile: "The old lady is in a good mood today, must there be some happy event?"

The old lady smiled, showed Mai Xiang the needle and thread in Cui Bi's hand, and said with a smile, "Look at how this girl's work is doing?"

Mai Xiang took it over and took a look, it was a pair of men's shoes, sapphire blue satin, embroidered with a circle of complicated patterns, it was thoughtful.

"Sister Cuibi's craftsmanship is needless to say? It's much better than mine." Mai Xiang thought while boasting. The patterns on the shoes are for young people at first glance. If they were made for Wan Zhigao, the old lady would not I will show it to myself specially, then, there is only one possibility left, which is Huaici.

But why did the old lady suddenly ask Cui Bi to make shoes for Huai Ci, and also asked Mai Xiang to comment on it, thinking of this, Mai Xiang glanced at Cui Bi, Cui Bi lowered her head, her face turned red.

"I also said that it's not bad, it's better than when I was younger. These two girls have been with me for seven or eight years, and they don't have any personality. Let them out."

"Since the old lady said so, I will find a good house for the two of them like a daughter, and a good dowry to accompany them, and it will not be in vain for the two sisters to serve the old lady hard." Mai Xiang laughed.

"It's not that, I also have the same thoughts. I just don't want them to be far away. After much deliberation, the fat water can't flow out of the field, so I just give them to my two grandchildren. It just so happens that you are not in good health now, Zhi There should also be a servant by Yuan's side." After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Mai Xiang with a smile.

Although she guessed what the old lady was thinking, Mai Xiang didn't expect that the old lady would give her people so directly, and in front of emerald green, she wanted to take them back, but she couldn't really accept them, Wouldn't it hurt them?But if you don't agree, you will lose emerald emerald face from now on, why don't you hate yourself?
"Old lady, it's really not that I don't want to do this, it's just that the old lady also knows that my husband has gone through those things before, and ordinary people can't get close to him at all."

The old lady was taken aback when she heard this, and she was not sure what Mai Xiang meant, she was about to ask, when she saw Mai Xiang looking at Cui Bi and the two of them, she hurriedly let them go out.

"Girl, tell me, what do you mean by what you just said? What do you mean that ordinary people can't get close to him?" The old lady said while looking at Mai Xiang's stomach.

"Since the old lady knows about the past, I won't hide it from you. My husband-in-law escaped from that ghostly place and hates things between men and women. He is basically useless. When we were just getting married, I accidentally ran into him. He I feel uncomfortable all over my body, wishing to wash the place I touched several times with water. Although he knew it was wrong to do so, he couldn't control himself at all, and he had already fallen to the root of the disease. I helped him cure this problem for several years before he reluctantly accepted it. To be honest, I'm not afraid of the old lady's jokes, our bridal chamber went through a lot of trouble."

The old lady was speechless for a long time after listening to Mai Xiang's words, she just looked at Mai Xiang stupidly, she never dreamed that her grandson would be destroyed like this.

"Originally, he planned not to get married in this life. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually proposed marriage for us. He didn't want to delay me, but this marriage can't be withdrawn. He has no choice, so he told me the truth. Fortunately, we were acquainted before. I was still young at that time, he treated me as a child, and we often did business together, so we gradually got used to it. If the old lady doesn’t believe it, you can ask the maid next to me You know, I handle everything about Mr. Xianggong myself."

Mai Xiang's words reminded the old lady of some details. These years, she has never seen Huaici chatting with the maids in the mansion. They are always a few steps away. Not only the maids, but this grandson is indifferent to everyone, poor family members I didn't understand the whole story, I thought it was the child's cold nature, who would have thought that the child had suffered so much?No wonder this child wanted to eat Jiang's expression when he saw Jiang Shi, and I don't know how this kid got here all these years?
"Zhiyuan, my poor grandson, I said why he can't leave you so much? It turns out that there is no one else but you, what should I do? My poor grandson..." The more the old lady talked, the more she hated Jiang. , This woman's heart is too poisonous.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Mai Xiang comforted the old lady a few words, but when she was about to leave, the old lady said: "There is no way to go on like this. He can't be without others besides you. Since he If I can accept you, I should be able to accept others too, take your time, I will send Cuibi to go with you, don't be in a hurry to have sex, let her get used to being around Zhiyuan first."

Mai Xiang gritted her teeth secretly after hearing this, dare she say it for nothing?
"Old lady, you'd better tell him about this, if he agrees, I'm sure I have no objection." Mai Xiang doesn't want to be such a bad person.Of course, she won't admit it, and she also wants to take this opportunity to test him.

Seeing that Mai Xiang was not happy, the old lady hurriedly said: "Son, don't be unhappy. This man has been called here since ancient times. If you let outsiders know that he is a woman, what he knows is that he refuses to know. I thought it was you who were jealous and ruined your reputation, don't blame my old lady for doing too much, I did it for your own good, now that you are in such a body, you can't serve him, so you can't let him suffer like this forever."

"Well, I understand. Thank you, old lady." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she couldn't wait to get out of the old lady's room. If she stayed any longer, she would explode.

The next afternoon it was too late, and Wan Baocai and the others just came back from the countryside. The whole family had dinner in the upper room, Jiang's Zhang Luo played dominoes with the old lady, but the old lady glanced at her and ignored her.

Wan Zhigao met, sat down in front of the old lady, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, today I was packing up in the old house, and found that all the things I had when I was a child were still there, and there were more than ten longevity locks. It was given by my grandmother, and every year on my birthday, my grandmother wanted to give me a longevity lock, and I brought it back today, does my grandmother still remember what it was like?"

The old lady stroked Wan Zhigao's neck and said, "Why don't you remember? You are the grandson of the nanny. Every year on your birthday, I will make a special trip to type one and engrave it on it."

After hearing this, Wan Baocai and Wan Chengyao looked at Huaici, with guilty expressions on their faces.

"Grandfather and grandmother, I'm going back with my daughter-in-law." Huai Ci stood up, holding Mai Xiang's hand and was about to leave.

He didn't want to stay and listen to the grandparent and grandson show off their deep affection, and he didn't want to see Wan Baocai and Wan Chengyao's father and son look at him with guilt.

Seeing that Huaici was about to leave, the old lady realized that her words were really inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Zhiyuan, I have something to tell you. I discussed it with Mai Xiang yesterday. Now you don't have a servant by your side. , I will give you the girl Cuibi, and you can take her away today."

When Huaici heard that the old lady wanted to stuff him, the expression on his face became even colder. He glanced at the old lady, then lowered his head and asked Mai Xiang softly, "Have you been wronged?"

Mai Xiang shook her head and smiled brightly.

Only then did Huai Ci look up at the old lady, and said, "I've already said, I only want Mai Xiang in this life, so let's stop this matter. If grandma doesn't want me to go back to Wan's house for the New Year, we'll leave now."

After Huai Ci finished speaking, he took Mai Xiang's hand and was about to go out.

"Zhiyuan, sit down, don't say such angry words during Chinese New Year. I have the final say on this matter, and no one is allowed to mention it again." Seeing that Huai Ci was very angry, Wan Baocai quickly winked at the old lady.

"You child, the elders can't deny it. Aren't you still doing it for your own good? Is it possible that you are working like this these days?" The old lady felt a little embarrassed when she saw her grandson being so shameless.

To be honest, although Mai Xiang's words made the old lady sad for a while, the old lady did not fully believe what Mai Xiang said.What she thought was that since Huai Ci could have sex with Mai Xiang, other women must be the same, it's just a matter of time.

How can there be a cat in this world that doesn't eat fishy?There was also a man who didn't like the new and hated the old, so the old lady concluded that Huaici was not incapable, but did not dare, and was controlled by Mai Xiang's coercion of kindness.

That's why she put Huai Ci alone in front of everyone, thinking that Huai Ci and Mai Xiang would accept her through filial piety, after all, she was not the Jiang family, so she would not harm them.

"Okay, you're getting more and more confused as you get older. It's their own business how grandchildren want to live. Don't stretch your hands so far." Wan Baocai stopped the old lady again.

"Zhiyuan, take your daughter-in-law back to rest first, and you've been tired for the past two days, so we'll talk tomorrow if you have anything to say." Wan Chengyao smoothed things over.

After hearing this, Huaici took Mai Xiang's hand and went out without looking at the people in the room.

Because of this incident, no one has had a good year this year.Huaici definitely didn't look like smiling when he saw the old lady, the old lady was holding a breath in her heart, the old man and Wan Chengyao naturally wouldn't be in a good mood, plus Wan Zhigao, Huaici had no interest in staying in Wan's house .

Reluctantly staying in Wan's house until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Huai Ci and Mai Xiang went to the upper room early in the morning to say hello and resign by the way.

Unexpectedly, before Huaici opened his mouth, Wan Baocai suddenly said: "Zhiyuan, Grandpa has something to ask you. I heard that Prince Li introduced you to the academy where you study in the capital. Can you go and find the mountain chief?" , introduce your elder brother to study there for two years."

"Grandfather?" Wan Zhigao was puzzled, why is this old man?
"Yes, yes, but the question is, do you want to go? The management of the academy is very strict. There are only two days off in a month, and you are not allowed to ask for leave without reason." Huai Ci looked at Wan Baocai.

Of course he knew why the old man did this, but he didn't expect that the old man still wanted to protect Wan Zhigao's face, so he chose such a path for him.

I just don't know if Wan Zhigao can understand the old man's painstaking efforts.
