Chapter 329 Mai Qing's Blind Date
Mai Xiang never dreamed that Mrs. Tong would come to the door the day after Tong Liwen returned.

It turned out that Mrs. Tong came to propose marriage to Mai Qing on behalf of her concubine Tong Libin, the third young master of the Tong family, because Tong Liwen told his mother that Mai Qing had a good appearance and temperament, and could be a good match for Tong Libin.

Tong Libin is fifteen years old this year. Although he is a concubine, his biological mother left early and has been raised under Mrs. Tong's name, so he has a very good relationship with Tong Liwen, and they are true brothers and sisters.This kid is smart. He just finished his test this year. He didn't expect to pass the county test and the government test. It's a pity that there is no hospital test this year, otherwise he might be a scholar.

"This? My sister is still young, she's only twelve this year." Mai Xiang was a little stunned, she got engaged early enough, she didn't expect Mai Huang and Mai Qing to call here too.

"How early? How long will it be when you get engaged? Could it be that you don't like our Tong family now, and you have a better candidate in your heart?" Mrs. Tong really wants to marry the Ye family.

She has also heard a little about the family background of the Ye family, needless to say about Mai Xiang, I am afraid that the family background of this meeting has surpassed that of the Tong family, and it is not something ordinary people can do to donate 5 taels of silver to the Western Regions to buy grain seeds When they arrived, even their Tong family didn't have such arrogance.

In fact, Mrs. Tong's original plan was to let Tong Liwen marry Mai Xiang as a concubine. After all, the conditions of the Ye family were very poor at that time, but she fell in love with Mai Xiang, and felt that it would not be considered humiliating for Mai Xiang to become a concubine of the Tong family. Mai Xiang.Unexpectedly, the Tong family hastily made an engagement with the second child of the Wan family before the Tong family had made up their minds, which made Mrs. Tong really regret it for several years.

This is in line with the old saying, don't bully the young and poor, the Ye family has grown up in just a few years, and has also become a big family in Huangye Village, this time she doesn't want to miss this opportunity again.If you don't marry your sister, it's the same if you marry a younger sister.What's more, although this younger sister is not as intelligent as her elder sister, she is slightly better than her elder sister in appearance and temperament, which is very rare.After all, Mrs. Tong has only met such a smart and capable girl as Mai Xiang in these years.

"Mrs. Tong laughed at me. Your Tong family has a great career, and our Ye family said that Potian is a small landlord. I just think my sister is still young, and, to be honest, our country people are not happy to marry a concubine, so your Tong family is like this. The family, this, I really can't afford it."

"Hey, what did I think you were afraid of? If you say this, you can rest assured that this son in my family is different from others, because he was born by my aunt. He was often excluded by those aunts and brothers and sisters, so he said that he would never take a concubine when he got married in the future."

"Is that true?" This condition moved Mai Xiang somewhat.

Mai Xiang has dealt with Mrs. Tong for two years, and Mrs. Tong also knows a little about Mai Xiang. She is definitely not a vicious person like Jiang's, so she can treat Mai Xiang kindly to Mai Xiang, who had nothing back then, and can personally raise the bastard. And let the concubine go to school, these are much better than Jiang's.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, just go home with me to have a look. He and his elder brother are both at home, and they plan to go to the academy after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? Could it be that our Tong family's threshold has been lowered, and you don't want to step up?" Mrs. Tong gave Mai Xiang an angry look. She dared to do this with Mai Xiang because of her friendship with him back then. Speaking, after all, Mai Xiang's identity is now a serious official wife.

"I really can't say no to you. Well, since that's the case, let me go in and discuss it with my parents."

I heard that Mrs. Tong came to propose marriage. Others didn't know much about it, but Mrs. Zhao almost screamed with excitement. Tong's family is almost as famous as the Wan's family. Xiang entered Wan's house, if Mai Qing could enter Tong's house, her Zhao family would be able to walk sideways in Huangye Village in the future.

"Girl, can I follow you to see what my uncle looks like?" Zhao looked at Mai Xiang with blinking eyes. A person in her teens is not as scheming as a little girl, so Mai Xiang, who is so cute, really accepts it. no.

"No, it's not decided yet. If you go, it might be a bad thing. If it works, he should come to the door in two days." Mai Xiang refused.

"Just listen to the child." Ye Dafu said.

"Eldest sister, let me go too, I can also help the third younger sister to check." Mai Huang was also curious.

"Big Sister, I won't marry, I won't go, you guys go." Mai Qing has a thin skin, unlike Mai Huang, she has worked outside since she was a child, and has childhood friends who grew up together.

"Third Sister, listen to what Eldest Sister said, Eldest Sister is just taking you to have a look, if you don't like it, Eldest Sister will definitely not force you." Mai Xiang touched Mai Qing's little face, there is a feeling that my sister will grow up eventually reluctance.

Mai Xiang still remembers when she first came here, all kinds of discomforts. At first, Mai Huang had a strong personality. At the age of five, Mai Qing knew how to share the housework for Mai Xiang and knew how to protect her family. Therefore, Mai Xiang sincerely hoped that Mai Qing can marry a good man.

But the prerequisite for marrying a good man is that Mai Qing can fall in love with him, so she wants to let Mai Qing take a look at the man first, this is the limit of what she can do for Mai Qing.Because she can't let Mai Qing love freely outside like her, so it is very rare to be able to see each other before getting engaged to see if she can sleep well. After all, most people in this era enter the bridal chamber Only then did I find out what the other party looked like.

Mai Qing has always listened to Mai Xiang's words, she is already 12 years old, the eldest sister and the second sister have made such a step, she will leave sooner or later.Besides, Mai Qing still has a little fondness for the Tong family, the young master of the Tong family is a wonderful existence.

The final result is that Mai Xiang brought Mai Huang and Mai Qing into the gate of Tong's house together.

Mai Xiang hasn't been to Tong's house for several years, since she came, the first thing she must do is to visit the old lady.

Old Madam Tong still remembered Mai Xiang, she took the two long-lived horses that Mai Xiang handed over, she smiled and took Mai Xiang's hand and chattered, asking why Mai Xiang hadn't come to the door for so many years, and asking Mai Xiang Whether Xiang has been doing well these years, whether her husband is happy or not, how old is the child, etc.

It was only then that Mai Xiang knew that the Tong family didn't seem to have told the old lady about her recent situation, but after thinking about it, Mai Xiang was already an irrelevant outsider to the Tong family.

"Old lady, let's see if these two girls are okay?" Mrs. Tong saw that the old lady was holding Mai Xiang's hand and talking, so she pushed Mai Huang and Mai Qing to the old lady, and at the same time gave the maid next to her a wink. The maid turned and went out.

"These are my two younger sisters. They rarely go out. Today, Mrs. Tong invited me, so I took them out to see the world." Mai Xiang also pulled Mai Huang and Mai Qing to stand beside the old lady.

The old lady is also a smart person, after hearing this, she also took Mai Huang and Mai Qing's hands and looked at them, and then carefully looked at their facial features, and then said with a smile: "Okay, these two children are together. It looks like a blessed child, not bad, not bad."

"Who is the old lady praising?" As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Tong Liwen accompanied a young man into the room.

Mai Xiang took a look at the young man. He was not tall, and he probably hadn't grown up yet. He was wearing a moon-white silk long gown with dark patterns, a golden heart green waistcoat, and a golden heart green purse and A piece of jade pendant looks refreshing.The eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Tong Liwen, and he is also a handsome young man with clear eyebrows.

Before Tong Libin came, he had been told that he was here to see each other, so while Mai Xiang was looking at him, he was also looking at the three of them. Only a little girl whose stature hadn't grown up shyly glanced at him and then lowered her head, Tong Libin knew who the protagonist was.

But the startled glance made Tong Libin see Mai Qing's frightened eyes like a deer, and his heart seemed to be hit.He didn't come here with much interest at first. After all, this marriage has always been based on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Since the aunt and brother both fell in love with this girl, it must be the same.

Seeing Mai Qing keeping her head down, Tong Libin wanted to take a good look at her facial features, but instead saw the girl's pink and white neck and red cheeks, he couldn't help thinking a little bit, Mai Huang saw that the other party looked so boldly Looking at his sister, he was somewhat unwilling and coughed.

This cough made Mai Qing raise his head quickly, and Tong Libin's frightened eyes happened to meet again. Although the girl in front of her didn't wear makeup, she was as beautiful as a peach blossom.Tong Libin was not disappointed, this girl's facial features were more delicate than those of her two older sisters, more like a Xiaojiabiyu.

The moment Mai Qing raised her head and saw Tong Libin staring at her blankly, she knew that Mai Huang was reminding her, and couldn't help but give Tong Libin a hard look, Tong Libin realized that he was wrong, and now it was his turn to bow his head, blushing his neck It's also popular, but I have expectations for this marriage in my heart.

"Haha, haha." Tong Liwen knocked his younger brother on the head with the fan in his hand, and said dotingly, "What an idiot."

Mai Xiang could tell that the relationship between the two brothers was not pretending, it was indeed a deep brotherhood. Moreover, Tong Libin looked more sunny and innocent, and Mai Xiang liked it more.

The rest is to see what Mai Qing wants. If Mai Qing is willing, Mai Xiang believes that with Mai Qing's intelligence, she will not be bullied when she enters Tong's house.

"Mrs. Tong, excuse me today, let's have a cup of tea together another day." Mai Xiang stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Tong also smiled when she heard this, and said, "Since I'm here, I'll stay for a light meal. It's not easy to keep you for a light meal these years."

"I won't bother you today, I'm afraid my daughter will be hungry at home."

Mai Xiang didn't invite a nanny, she fed Xiao Yu'er herself, so the child can't leave for too long.

"Alright." Mrs. Tong stood up and gave the woman beside her a wink. The woman went out and prepared a gift in return.

Back home, Mrs. Zhao had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when she saw Mai Xiang coming in, she hurriedly pulled Mai Qing over and asked Mai Qing how she felt.

Mai Qing didn't speak, just nodded shyly, but Mai Huang was at the side, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Mai Xiang knew that this marriage was almost done, and sure enough, within two days, the Tong family sent a matchmaker to the door.
