Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 82
That night, Amusin still didn't let Mai Xiang go, because she felt that this might be her last chance to have a free chat with Mai Xiang, because next month, she should be in the draft, and the future Fate, who knows what will happen?If she unfortunately enters the palace, then she will never have the chance to see Mai Xiang again.

Not only Amuxin, but even the old lady sent someone to say, "It's too late today, I'll stay with Mai Xiang for one night, and I'll leave after dinner tomorrow, and I'll keep her for a chat."

Therefore, Mai Xiang could only stay and drew several cartoons for Addis and Abida, coaxing the two children to smile, and each gave Mai Xiang a jade pendant.

Early the next morning, Mai Xiang woke up, had dinner with A Muxin, and then went into the old lady's room with A Mu Xin. When the old lady saw Mai Xiang enter the house, she sent the maids in the house away. After going out, only one personal servant girl was left behind.

"I heard that you are very effective in making wishes for others. Today I also want to go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to make a wish. You can go with me later."

"Success, I don't know what wish the old lady wants to make, so few people will tell me this time, and I will recite it in my heart, so that there will be many people at the wishing pool, and it will be bad if people listen to it."

Mai Xiang wondered which of these families had no secrets. If possible, she really didn't want to participate. However, Amusin already knew that she had made a wish for Uladomin. In addition, Amusin also met herself by the wishing pool many times. Make a wish for others, if Mai Xiang refuses this time, I'm afraid it will anger the person in front of me, this is not what Mai Xiang wants.

"Yes, you are a clever child, no wonder my granddaughter always praises you." The old lady liked Mai Xiang more and more.

"It's like this. My granddaughter is going to be drafted next month. I want to make a wish and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my granddaughter with a good ranking and good results. Although our Zhang Jia family has sent some people into the palace, but the status has always been It’s not high, and there isn’t a serious one who stands out.”

The old lady quickly stopped talking, feeling that she was talking too much. She forgot that Mai Xiang was only a ten-year-old child. It was a strange feeling to treat this child as an adult.

She looked at Mai Xiang again, she was indeed a little girl, how could she speak and act like an adult?It is easy to ignore her age.

When Mai Xiang heard that she was making a wish to enter the palace for Amusin, she was embarrassed. Amusin didn't want to enter the palace. Besides, Amusin's father, Agui, would soon lead troops into the northwest. It was the crown prince's Shaobao. If the daughter of such a person enters the palace, what good life can she have?
Mai Xiang thought of the hit TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" before she traveled here. Isn't it because of her brother Nian Gengyao that the concubine this year kept her from getting pregnant?

Of course, Mai Xiang didn't know what the real concubine of the Nian was like in history. It's just that Mai Xiang had read a lot of Gongdou novels, and the emperor was generally afraid of the generals who held military power. He didn't want the prince to have such relatives. Foreign relatives are monopolized, and they are also worried that they will affect the establishment of the crown prince.

Seeing that Mai Xiang didn't say a word, the old lady seemed to be thinking about something, so she asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

After hearing this, Amu Xin hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mama, people say that wealth cannot be forced. With the current status of our Zhang Jia family, we are already extremely prominent. If we insist, It would be bad to offend the Bodhisattva."

After hearing this, the old lady looked at Mai Xiang, and Mai Xiang had no choice but to kneel down and said, "Madam, why don't I make a wish for the old lady later, and wish the master smooth sailing in his future career."

"That's right, Mamo, Mai Xiang also said that in the future, my Ama's achievement will be higher than that of my Mafa." Amu Xin was anxious, so she said what Mai Xiang said that day.

"Huh?" After hearing this, the old lady stared at Mai Xiang to study.

"Where do you start with this?" The old lady thought it was impossible. Her husband Acton was already a veteran of the three dynasties. How high is it?

"Old lady, I just had a dream when I went home after I made a wish for Gege at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. I dreamed that there was a room called some kind of pavilion. There were some portraits hanging in it. There were words under each portrait. The name under Zhang’s portrait is Zhangjia Agui, and I didn’t know it was the master’s name at the time, and it was also the master’s name that I heard Ge Ge say that day, so I realized that it was Ge Ge’s Ama that I dreamed of.”

Mai Xiang deliberated and made up a set of lies. After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to look up at the old lady's expression, and kept her head down.

"What pavilion?" the old lady asked.

"What pavilion? Let me think about it, there seems to be a purple, what is purple, what is purple?" Mai Xiang pretended to be thinking hard.

"Ziyue Pavilion? Ziri Pavilion, Ziguang Pavilion, Zixing Pavilion..." The old lady reported several in one go, and then looked at Mai Xiang.

"Yes, yes, Ziguang Pavilion, Ziguang Pavilion, I remember." Mai Xiang patted her head.

The old lady was a little convinced now. Even Amusin didn't know about Ziguang Pavilion. She had heard her husband mention it once. If Mai Xiang hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have remembered this place. Mai Xiang is a country girl, what would she know? Ziguang Pavilion?

"Then what else are you dreaming about?"

Mai Xiang quickly shook her head.

"Get up."

After hearing this, Mai Xiang stood up quickly, and helped Amusin up by the way.

"Forget it, we won't force it, let's see God's will." The old lady put it down, if her son's portrait can enter the Ziguang Pavilion, then it doesn't make much sense for Amu Xin to enter the palace or not, and the old man also thinks clearly , This person, if you gain something, you will lose it. If you want to grasp everything, you may not be able to grasp everything.

"Who did you tell you these words?" The old lady asked again.

"No, this is the first time that this dream has been uttered today. I didn't say anything when Ge Ge asked me last time. If the old lady doesn't believe it, just ask Ge Ge. Also, the old lady can also ask. It's really the first time for me. Say it, if the old lady didn't push her hard, I wouldn't plan to say it."

"That's good, remember, I'm going to hear some rumors about the master in the future, and if I find out, I'm the only one who asks." The old lady's tone became severe,

Mai Xiang shivered in fright, and quickly said, "Mai Xiang remembered."

"Go, I'm tired too." The old lady waved her hand and said something to the maid beside her.

Mai Xiang didn't touch her heart until she entered Ge Ge's yard, and said with a wry smile: "Ge Ge, you scared me to death, I don't want to play like this. If it wasn't for your sake, I would go to replace the old lady." I made this wish."

"Don't tell me, Mai Xiang, I remember. I owe you a favor. Didn't you say that we are friends." Only then did Amu Xin truly realize that a friend like Mai Xiang is not bad, even though he came from a poor background. Some, but everything else is not bad, she is very clever in speaking and doing things, and her mouth is strict, and one more thing, listening to Mai Xiang's words, she doesn't look like an ignorant country girl at all.

"It doesn't count if you are unfeeling. Speaking of which, I owe Ge Ge more. Forget it. Since you also said that we are friends, it doesn't matter who owes whom. I am very happy to help you." Mai Xiang said It's the truth, she really doesn't want to lose this friend.

"By the way, is it true about my Ama?" Amusin sent Xiaoqing to pack Mai Xiang's things, but when she saw that there was no one around, she asked beside Mai Xiang.

"Ge Ge, there is a saying that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Mai Xiang pushed Ge Ge's head away.

"Mai Xiang, just tell me." After all, Amu Xin is only a thirteen-year-old girl, how can she not be curious?

"Gege, just remember what I said." Mai Xiang could only stop.

Amu Xin is also a smart person, so after hearing this, she stopped asking any more questions. It happened that Xiaoqing also came with a bag, and A Mu Xin took the bag and put it in Mai Xiang's hands.

"There are a few pieces of clothing in the baggage, and a few taels of silver. Although it's not much, that's what I mean. Don't think it's too little."

Mai Xiang knows that unmarried young masters like A Muxin don't have much money in their hands. They only have some pocket money every month, also called monthly bills. Only after they get married, they have their own dowry in their hands, can they control Bulk silver taels.

She has already read these from "A Dream of Red Mansions". Jia Baoyu once said, "Although the family has money, it will not belong to me." The same is true for Tanchun, who only saved a few coins after a few months. Ask Jia Baoyu to find some gadgets outside for her.

"Gege, my family's life is much better. Last time, Fujin gave me 20 taels of silver. These days, I also earned some at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. I have already bought a piece of land. It is estimated that the house should be built before winter. Next year, I can open a shop in my own home, and I don’t have to go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha anymore.” Mai Xiang didn’t want to ask for money from A Muxin, otherwise, she would always feel inferior to others in front of her in the future.

"Okay, I got it. Originally, I wanted to go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha with you today, forget it, wait a few days." Amu Xin also guessed what Mai Xiang meant.

"Okay, anyway, I will go these days, Ge Ge wants to ask me to send someone to talk to me." Mai Xiang looked at the sky, wondering if Tong Liwen could be found.

A Muxin sent Mai Xiang to the gate, and Li Momo was waiting at the gate. Just as she was about to leave, the maid beside the old lady hurriedly brought a bundle and said, "This is for the old lady to appreciate Miss Mai Xiang, old man Someone said, I would invite Miss Mai Xiang to come and play when I am free."

"Miss Mai Xiang really fell in love with the old lady. Yesterday, she specially sent someone to say that she wanted to send more food to Miss Mai Xiang's family. There is a lot of food in the car, which is enough for Miss Mai Xiang's family to live for a long time. It's gone." Li Mama laughed.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, my sister thanked the old lady for me, and said that if Mai Xiang is free, she must come to see the old lady. Mai Xiang will ask the Bodhisattva to bless the old lady with health and longevity."

But to be honest, Mai Xiang doesn't want to enter this yard again. If the old lady asks again, Mai Xiang is worried that the more loopholes will be added, and it will be over if it doesn't end well.
