Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 66 The Teenager's Mind
When Mai Xiang came back from Cao's house, she couldn't think of who Cao Xueqin's cousin was, so she suppressed her curiosity and decided to find an opportunity to ask Liu Huilan.

The next day was the Duanyang Festival. Because Mrs. Liu said that the family would celebrate the festival together on this day, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun entered the main room early to help Mrs. Liu make zongzi. Still do not reach out.

Wufu hung wormwood in front of the courtyard and the house early in the morning, and gave each of Mai Xiang a straw-woven centipede or scorpion, and Mai Xiang put on the multicolored silk thread wrapped by Liu Huilan for Mai Huang. A string of small rice dumplings made of paper.

"Sister, let's go to the village to find them to fight grass, every year the big sister wins the grass fight." Mai Huang said while pulling Mai Xiang.

Today is the holiday, there is no need to work, Mai Huang's child's nature is revealed, and there is a floral cloth sent by someone else at home, Mai Xiang promised to make a new dress for each of them, so Mai Huang is in a particularly good mood.

"Ducao?" Mai Xiang didn't know what a Doucao was, she had never played with it before.

When Mai Xiang was about to resign, Damei brought five or six girls of average size to look for Mai Xiang. Seeing that each of them had a handful of grass in their hands, Mai Xiang walked in with a smile.

"Mai Xiang, where's your grass?" Damei asked.

"I haven't had time to pull it out yet. I'll look for it now. You guys play first." Seeing Mai Huang groping around in her own yard, she found a blade of grass, and tried her toughness in her hands first. Mai Xiang thought of the TV The fighting hair I have seen in the movie is probably a routine.

Mai Xiang also pulled a few unknown grasses from the base of the wall. At this time, Damei and the others had already started playing.

In fact, this game is a little too naive for Mai Xiang, that is, two people each hold two ends of a grass, and the two grasses hook up, and then pull towards themselves, and the one who sees the grass is broken will lose .

Mai Xiang lost interest after playing for a while. After thinking about it, she has sold so many kites, but she has never flown a kite before. It just so happens that there is a Lucky Pig left at home.

"Why don't we go fly a kite and call my eighth uncle and old aunt." Mai Xiang suggested.

"It's okay, let's go to the wheat threshing field to the west. The place over there is bright and bright. Let's call Pang Dun together. That's the wheat threshing ground of Pang Dun's family." Damei said.

Mai Xiang went into the house and took the kite, explained a few words to Ye Dafu, then called Bafu and Jiufeng to go out together, followed by wheat seeds, wheat grains and wheat seedlings, and a lot of people went out.

There are already a bunch of children playing in the threshing field, some are fighting grass, some are flying kites, some are skipping rope and kicking shuttlecock. Today is a holiday, and the children at home don’t have to work.

Mai Xiang is holding the spool, and Bafu is bigger, let him run with the kite, Mai Xiang backs away, watching the kite fly up, Mai Xiang secretly makes a wish, hoping that this rich pig can bring him some Wealth.

When Mai Xiang was thinking about it, she heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

"Look, look, what a beautiful white horse." Someone shouted.

Mai Xiang turned her head and saw two horses coming from the northeast of the official road. The leader was a white horse, which was running down the official road towards herself.

Mai Xiang took a closer look, and it turned out to be that cold-faced young man.

"Finally found you, why didn't you go to the Reclining Buddha Temple to do business today?" Hong Rong asked, slightly unhappy.

How did Mai Xiang know that the other party went to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha early in the morning to find herself to buy a kite, and after walking around the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, she did not see Mai Xiang. She was still a smart boy, and remembered that Mai Xiang belonged to a nearby village. Why not follow the official road to find him? Look around, and then I saw Mai Xiang's kite, so I found it.

"Is there anything you want?" Of course Mai Xiang knew that the other party didn't come here to see her.

"I want a kite of that kind of sheep."

"What sheep? Pleasant goat? Beautiful goat?" Mai Xiang seemed to remember selling him a Pleasant goat last time.

"Yes, Pleasant Goat, I want it now, do you have it?"

"Sorry, I gave away the last one yesterday, and I really can't get it out at home for a while, can I have this?"

Mai Xiang gave the kite made by Wufu to Tong's family yesterday morning, and gave the one made by Ye Dafu to Gege. Ye Dafu really didn't make a kite last night, and Mai Xiang didn't feel worried about the kites made by Erfu and Sanfu. what.

Seeing that the other party seemed very disappointed, Mai Xiang asked Bafu: "Uncle Ba, did Uncle Wu make a kite last night?"

"No, Fifth Brother was busy making five poisons last night. Besides, after the Dragon Boat Festival, who will buy kites?" Bafu said.

Only then did Mai Xiang know why Ye Dafu hadn't made kites these two days, and there were several kite paintings piled up at home. When Mai Xiang was feeling regretful, the other party spoke.

"Forget it, I don't need you to make kites. You just help me draw two pictures. I will find someone to make them myself when I go back."

"I have this ready-made at home, just wait, I'll go back and get it for you." Mai Xiang immediately changed her smile.

The kites that Ye Dafu makes are generally one size. When Mai Xiang is free, she simply draws the pictures first. She doesn’t understand some coloring problems at all. Cao Xueqin taught her. She can only draw stick figures with charcoal, so some When Cao Xueqin is free, Mai Xiang will draw a few more pictures.

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, he ran home, Hong Rong couldn't wait, and also rode behind Mai Xiang, but he didn't follow Mai Xiang into the yard, but it was enough to shock the Ye family again.

Mai Xiang didn't bother to explain, and went into the room to find two kites of Pleasant Goat and drew them for him.

Hong Rong didn't say anything. He took the painting and looked at it carefully. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he threw a piece of silver to Mai Xiang and left in the dust.

"Da Ya, Da Ya, who is this?" Not only the Ye family members came out, but also Da Mei and the others followed, wondering when Mai Xiang met such an expensive friend.

"I don't know him, but I sold two kites to him and his younger brother last time, and I found them again this time, probably because the kite broke last time, and his younger brother was crying at home, so I hurried to find them again. "Mai Xiang always thought that young master was his younger brother.

"I don't know how to find here?" Sun obviously didn't believe it.

"Third Aunt, they went to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to look for me. Later, they saw my kite in the sky and found the threshing field."

"Da Ya, how much money did he give you?" Qian asked.She saw the other party throw a piece of silver to Mai Xiang.

"Second aunt, it's not much, just two or three dollars." Mai Xiang guessed that the piece of broken silver was more than one or two dollars, so she didn't tell the truth.

"Big girl, did you sell the kites made by your second and third uncles?" Qian asked.

She also sold the kites made by Er Fu outside. Because she couldn't draw, she only sold them for fifty cents each to a shop in the town. This was only agreed by her and the shopkeeper.

"Second Aunt, I don't have the ability. Eighth Uncle just said, who will buy kites after the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Big girl, if you can help, please help. It's not easy for your second and third uncles to earn a little money, and they don't have many kites in their hands."

Mrs. Liu knew that Wu Fu's kites were sold by Da Ya, so she thought they were not bad, because Er Fu and San Fu were very busy during the day, so they only had time to do something at night, and a kite would take five or six days or more. Time, it is difficult to sell well, so I also want Mai Xiang to help.

Of course Mai Xiang knew this, and the kites made by the Zhao family couldn’t be sold. It was because Yang Dalin knew an old gardener from Jingyi Garden. The family's kite was barely sold.

"Mommy, I really can't sell it. It's just a coincidence. It's the same if I let the second uncle and the third uncle keep it first. This one won't break."

"Da Ya, are you still going to play?" Da Mei has always been on good terms with Mai Xiang, and when she saw Mai Xiang was in trouble, she offered to help her.

"Go, why don't you go?" Mai Xiang didn't want to stay at home to do housework, and Qian and Sun were not pleasing to her eyes.

A few hours later, a couple of young guests came to the mansion of the university scholar Acton. Yongjian said that they came to see Addis and Abida, and said that they broke their kites yesterday, so they brought them here today, and I invite everyone to fly kites together, because after the Dragon Boat Festival, almost no one in the capital flies kites.

Adis brought a kite to find Amusin. Amusin was really touched when he heard that the other party found an identical kite so quickly, knowing that the other party must have gone to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha when he got up early in the morning.

"Elder Sister is not going, you guys go, and tell the people who follow to be careful." Amu Xin knew that the other party was also going, so why would she go out?

After Adis heard this, he didn't try to persuade him any more. In the morning, Amusin went to the palace with his mother to watch the dragon boat race and came back sick. He thought that the elder sister was tired.

Adis and Abida went out with five or six entourages, Hong Rong didn't see A Muxin, so he lost interest.

"My eldest sister said that I will pick up that country girl tomorrow, and let her bring anything new." Seeing that Yongjian was showing off with the pair of pigs again, Abida was a little unconvinced, so he took Amu Xin The promise was spoken.

"Your eldest sister also knows that girl?" Yongjian asked.

"I don't know about that." Abida shook his head.

"Then she will come tomorrow, can you leave me a copy of something novel?" Yong Jian asked.

"This, we don't know either."

"Oh, I'll come to your house tomorrow to play and see what good things she has." Yong Jian said.

"It's hard to say. My eldest sister is not feeling well today. She has been sick since she came back from the palace. She didn't even eat. How can I know if I can send someone to pick her up tomorrow?" After all, Adis is older and can see Miss Chu is in a bad mood.

After entering the palace, he was in a bad mood, Hong Rong thought about what big event will happen in the palace today?

By the way, the emperor came back from his southern tour yesterday, and the empress dowager and the empress came back. Naturally, these wives will go to the palace to see and say hello. They are together to talk about whose daughter is beautiful and talented, and whose daughter has added a daughter .By the way, this year is the draft year, and the hottest topic is the draft.

Thinking of the draft, Hong Rong's eyes dimmed a bit.
