Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 57 Knowing
Mai Xiang worried that Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun would know that it was Wan's family who came to buy people, and she cried out in alarm. When Mrs. Shi went back to study, maybe Wan's family would come to buy her and go back to be a small child, and then she would be confused. .

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, it's all right. It's Mammy who asked someone to find a relative for Fifth Uncle. This is just to check with my grandma." Mai Xiang said to Qian Shi and Sun Shi with a smile.

The lady Shi in the house heard Mai Xiang's words and was confused by Mai Xiang. She didn't know that she was here to buy Mai Xiang. Why did Mai Xiang lie?Moreover, this girl seemed to be very afraid that others would know what she was doing here, and she seemed to have stopped Mrs. Liu from asking questions just now.

Mrs. Liu was also confused. Didn't Mai Xiang obviously not want to enter Wanjia?When did Wan's family become involved, and Mrs. Wan fell in love with her?

But when Mai Xiang wanted to join the Wan family, Mai Xiang simply rejected the Wan family again, and it seemed that she didn't want everyone to reveal the relationship between the Ye family and the Wan family. Could it be that Mrs. Wan didn't know who she wanted to buy? Is it the granddaughter-in-law she just returned?

When Qian Shi and Sun Shi heard it at the door, it was indeed Yu Shi who was pulling Mrs. Shi to talk about the situation of the winter solstice. They were just about to leave, but at this moment Zhao Qiaohong came back with a pot of clothes. Said to Mrs. Shi: "This is my eldest granddaughter. She is thirteen this year. This condition is not much better than that of Da Ya. Do you think this Wanjia can do it?"

When Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun heard Mrs. Yu mentioned the Wanjia, they hurriedly stopped and moved closer.

"Dear girl, was she sent by the Wan family?" Sun asked.

"I don't know, maybe Wanjia wants to buy a few maids." Mai Xiang could only pretend that she had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that Mai Xiang and Ye Dafu were blocking the door, Qian and Sun clearly didn't want them to enter, so they had to look around a few times, and seeing Mrs. Shi holding Qiaohong to look at her, they left resentfully.

Mrs. Shi looked at Qiaohong, didn't say whether it was okay or not, and sat with Yu Shi and Liu Shi for a while, and was about to leave when she heard someone fall in the house, and hurriedly followed Yu Shi and Liu Shi .

It turned out that Mrs. Zhao had been listening in the room for a long time, and heard Mrs. Yu saying that she would send Zhao Qiaohong to Wan's family to be a maid. , one of them lost his footing and fell.

Mai Xiang also rushed in at this moment, Mrs. Zhao was hugged by Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Shi.

"If you have something to do, you can't just call out, why do you have to get off the kang?" Yu Shi felt distressed and blamed.

"Mother, how are you? Do you want to invite Mr. to come and have a look?" Mai Xiang pulled Zhao Shi to have a look.

Mrs. Zhao took a few breaths, held Mrs. Yu's hand and said, "Don't let Qiaohong go to Wan's family to be a maid, my family's elder sisters won't go, and don't let Qiaohong or Ziju go."

"Why is this?" Shi Yu didn't understand, seeing Zhao Shi glaring at her, Shi Yu patted his head and said, "Look at how confused I am, this Wanjia..."

When Mai Xiang heard this, she quickly pulled Yu Shi and said, "Grandma, please see if my mother has broken anything."

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she pushed Mrs. Shi out, and said, "Nurse Shi, I'm sorry, you have seen the situation in my house, so I can't leave my parents and go to other people's house to be a maid, please go back and talk to the master." Say a few good words to my family, and I would like to trouble you about my fifth uncle and my old aunt. The house is in a mess, so I won’t keep you, thank you for taking the trouble to go. "

Seeing Mai Xiang's words and deeds, Mrs. Shi suddenly understood why Gege and the old lady fell in love with her. This girl can indeed speak, and she is clever at first glance.

However, in this family, the man is paralyzed and the woman is sick. What will the family live on?

Mrs. Shi has already noticed in the house just now that the family is probably separated. What is the source of income for this family?

Mrs. Shi left the gate of the Ye family full of doubts. There was a carriage not far from the gate, and the woman sitting in it was the woman who followed Mai Xiang that day. She was a servant of the Wan family, known as Zhang Xiang's family.

Mrs. Shi got into the carriage, studied everything carefully, then clapped her hands and said, "This girl is high-minded. Last month, Gege from the Zhangjia family in the capital took a fancy to her and asked me to buy her. Your Wan family is still generous, and this girl refused. If I had known it was her, I wouldn’t have to make this trip.”

Zhang Xiang's family was a little curious after hearing this, and asked: "Which Zhang Jia's Gege, what's going on, please tell me in detail, so I can go back and answer, otherwise the old lady should complain that I can't do things."

Firstly, Mrs. Shi wanted to show that she could get along with the top-ranking scholars of the dynasty, and secondly, she also understood the difficulties of being servants, so she entrusted Amu Xin to her to buy Maixiang when, why, and under what conditions. I told Zhang Xiang's family everything.

When Zhang Xiang's family returned to Wan's family, they naturally told Mrs. Wan everything in detail.

"What? Impossible?" Mrs. Wan is not an old woman with no knowledge. , He was also awarded the Prince Shaobao. This is really a big celebrity around the emperor, and he is also the veteran of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty.

This Acton's son, Agui, is said to be not a mediocre person, so how could Gege, who came from such a family, take a fancy to a country girl?Mrs. Wan was a little puzzled.

However, the old lady quickly thought that Ge Ge might also have taken a liking to Mai Xiang's cleverness and good luck, and maybe she let Mai Xiang make her wish come true, that's why she bought this girl and kept it with her. .

Thinking of this, the old lady wanted to buy Mai Xiang even more, and said: "Why don't you go with that prostitute tomorrow, and if the conditions are more favorable, you can also accept that girl, what's her name?"

"Mai Xiang, her eldest name is Mai Xiang, her nickname is Da Ya, her surname is Ye, in Huangye Village, her father, Ye Dafu, is the eldest of the family, and my subordinates..."

"Wait, what are you talking about, Huangye Village, Maixiang, Daya, Ye Dafu..." The old lady remembered who Maixiang was.

She still needs to think about it carefully and discuss with the old man what to do about this matter.

Besides, after Mrs. Shi left, Mai Xiang was besieged by her family members. How could this Mai Xiang know Mrs. Wan, and what song did the Wan family sing?
"Big girl, does this Wan family want to marry you as a concubine?" Yu asked.

As soon as Mai Xiang heard this, she knew that it was the old lady who didn't control her mouth and told the family affairs. No wonder Mrs. Liu would rather ask a ten-year-old granddaughter than a nearly 30-year-old daughter-in-law Discussing the important matters of these sons and daughters shows how unreliable this Mrs. Zhao is.

"How do I know who she is? I just ran into an old lady at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and sold her a pair of wall shoes. Later, I met her twice. They saw that I was pitiful, so they grabbed me a handful of copper coins." Mai Xiang said angrily.

"It's that simple?" Yu and Liu didn't believe it, but since Yu and Zhao were present, Liu didn't want to ask too many questions. Anyway, Mai Xiang lives with Jiufeng now, so he has plenty of time to ask something.

"Isn't it that simple? By the way, grandma, why don't you take your cousin home earlier and tell my aunt, maybe someone will come to see you in a few days, so let my aunt get ready." Mai Xiang Finally found a reason to drive people away.

The stay of Mrs. Yu does not help Mai Xiang much, but it is just to cook some Chinese medicine, cook some meals, and talk to Mrs. Zhao, and it is indeed a heavy burden for Mai Xiang to support one more person.

Of course, Mai Xiang wanted to drive her away, mainly because she felt that it would be inconvenient for her to do anything after she came, and she was being watched.

"But I'm leaving, and your mother doesn't have anyone to take care of her, so I don't worry about that." Yu Shi felt that what Mai Xiang said made sense. She was not at home, and the marriage of this girl was really difficult.In addition, she also wanted to go back and see what happened to the kites made by those people at home.

Mai Xiang looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Mother, tell grandma quickly, so that grandma can go back with peace of mind."

After Mrs. Zhao saw that Mrs. Yu had come, her benefits in all aspects dropped sharply. She wanted to send her old mother back, but this old lady didn't know how to do it, so she brought Qiaohong here again. How much food can my family have to feed them?

"Mother, you and Qiaohong's house, my family can do it. The child's father can get off the kang, I can turn over, and I can feed the wheat field." Zhao said hurriedly.

"Sister-in-law, please go first if you have something to do. I'm here, and I can help you with anything." Liu Shi also said hurriedly.

Seeing so many people kicking her out, Mrs. Yu understood a little bit, dare she feel that she is not welcome at all?

When Mrs. Yu was about to speak, the voices of Ye Dafu and Liu Huilan could be heard outside.
