Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 83 Message
Because there were a lot of things on the carriage, Mai Xiang couldn't get someone to take her directly to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, so she had to go home first. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Mrs. Liu and Jiufeng looking at the door, Sanfu's donkey cart Still parked in the middle of the yard.

Only then did Mai Xiang remember that they were still waiting to go to Wan's house by themselves, and they went to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to find Tong Liwen.

When Mai Xiang was complaining about herself, Jiufeng happily pulled Liu's clothes and shouted: "Da Ya, you are back, if you don't come back, mother will say that you won't go today."

Jiufeng seldom has the opportunity to go out. At worst, he would follow Mrs. Liu to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. It seems that he has never even been to Changning Town. The chances of going out as guests are even more pitiful. Going back to her natal home, since both of Liu's parents passed away, Liu seldom goes back to her natal home, only weddings and funerals will bring the children back for a tour.

Besides, Liu's natal family was not rich, and was comparable to Ye's family, so there was nothing new about Jiufeng.But this time is different, Jiufeng has long been itching to go to Wanjia this time, and urged Liu Shi many times, she has always been curious about what a rich family is like.In addition, when she saw the clothes that Ge Ge gave Mai Xiang, she felt a little bit envious in her heart, thinking that if she went to Wan's family, Wan's family could reward her with some nice clothes.

As soon as Jiufeng yelled, everyone in the yard came out, except for Er Fu, Wu Fu, and Ba Fu, who went to the ground.

Mrs. Zhao heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly ordered Mai Lu to look at the wheat field, and she came out on crutches, and saw that the servant was carrying things down. There were four large bags of grain, eggs, and meat in total. , all kinds of snacks, etc. In addition, Mai Xiang had two bundles in her hands, so Mrs. Zhao hurriedly invited Madam Li to come in with a smile on her face.

Nanny Li saw that the yard was in a mess, with the excrement of chickens, ducks and geese everywhere. There was no place to sit in Mai Xiang's house except on the kang. She was Gege's nurse after all. place?

"No, our master is still waiting for me to go back and reply. Miss Mai Xiang is destined for our old lady. The old lady is worried about Miss Mai Xiang's lack of food. These things are rewarded by the old lady." Li Nanny ordered One sentence.

"Hey, this old lady is really a kind person with a bodhisattva heart. Such a big official wife still misses my aunt. My aunt is really blessed..." Mrs. Zhao grinned and went on.

"Then please ask this sister-in-law to go back and thank the old lady for us, and ask the old lady to take care of your health. Our farmers don't have any good gifts in return. Next time my Mai Xiang goes to the Reclining Buddha Temple, I will definitely tell her Pay homage to the Buddha, and ask the Buddha to bless the old lady with health and longevity." Ye Dafu snatched away Zhao's words and said.

Nanny Li nodded after hearing this, and took a special look at Ye Dafu, thinking that Ye Dafu was still a sensible person, so she told Ye Dafu a few words, meaning don't let Mai Xiang be wronged or something, Mai Xiang guessed what she said It was also for everyone in the yard to listen to.

"Big ya, big ya, what did you give this time?" After Nanny Li left, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jiufeng came over first, and Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun also surrounded her.

Mai Xiang asked Ye Dafu in a low voice, and when she learned that Mrs. Zhao did not send anything to Mrs. Sun after she left last night, she smiled and said, "Third Aunt finally got pregnant. I left in a hurry yesterday. I also forgot to say, Third Aunt is waiting, I will pick up some eggs for you right now."

Mai Xiang also sees that the family is complete at this time, and if she wants to give things, she will give them on the bright side.

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she laughed and said, "Mai Xiang is still sensible. After going out a few times, it will be different after all."

"This is what my parents meant. It's just that I was not at home, so they forgot. My father will remind me as soon as I come back." Only then did Mai Xiang realize that Mrs. Zhao should say this. After all, Dafu is a man, so he won't worry about these things, but Mrs. Zhao can't figure it out.

Sure enough, as soon as Mai Xiang's words fell to the ground, Mrs. Zhao glared at Mai Xiang angrily, but now that the old people in the family are here, she can't say no to it, after all, this is also a courtesy.

Mai Xiang picked up [-] eggs and handed them to Sun. At this time, Qian was holding Mai Jin, and her eyes were also fixed on the things on the ground. Mai Xiang glanced at Mai Jin in Qian's hand. Looking at herself curiously with big eyes, Mai Xiang secretly sighed, and also picked up twenty eggs for Qian Shi, and said, "Second Aunt, Mai Jin is still young, these twenty eggs will also be supplemented by Mai Jin."

"Hey, there's also our Maijin's. It's kind of nice. My Maijin can't eat this whole grain. I'm worried." Qian's face was full of smiles immediately, and he freed a hand to take the basket.

Mai Xiang saw that the meat at home weighed about ten catties, and knowing that Wufu and Bafu were busy with summer harvesting and planting these days and hadn't had a full meal, she divided the meat into three portions, and gave one portion to Mrs. Liu. One is going to be sent to Liu Huilan.

"Mommy, let's stew this meat. I have something to do today. You and my old aunt should go first to this Wanjia." Mai Xiang was still thinking about going to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

Mrs. Liu did not expect that Mai Xiang would give her a large piece of meat. Thinking that the family was exhausted these days, and had not had a serious meal, and there was still the white flour that Wan's family sent last time. I am not willing to eat it, it is mixed with coarse grains and fine grains, so it is better to make a meal of dumplings today.

When it came to making dumplings, Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Sun, and the grandsons running in the yard. Thinking that the two of them hadn't smelled the smell of meat for several months, she said, "I'll come again tomorrow." Go, I'll stay here today to make dumplings for everyone, and you don't have to cook, the second and third families will help me."

When Qian and Sun heard this, they quickly agreed with a smile. Although Jiufeng was a little reluctant, she stopped pouting because she had pork dumplings to eat.

Mai Xiang saw that although Mrs. Liu did not agree to let her go, she was free today, so she hurried back to the house to put away her things, and ran straight to the Reclining Buddha Temple without taking anything.

Besides, Tong Liwen came to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha early in the morning, and sent Fengnian to go around the temple, but he didn't find Maixiang, so he sent Fengnian to wait at the mountain gate, and came to the small forest by himself.

The Jiugongge of Xiaoshulin is still there, but the nine numbers have been changed to other people's handwriting. Tong Liwen guessed that it should be Mai Xiang who remembered to look for him later.

Tong Liwen silently recited the numbers in the Jiugongge, erased them, and filled them out again by himself. After waiting for an hour, seeing that Mai Xiang hadn't come yet, he wrote on the ground: "I'll come to see you tomorrow at this time. "

Tong Liwen didn't notice that when he was squatting on the ground to fill in the nine grids, a pair of eyes kept looking at him, and this person was Hong Rong.

Hong Rong came here with Yong Jian today, Yong Jian wanted to find Mai Xiang, he finally came here with his family to escape the summer heat, and just wanted to see if there was anything new in Mai Xiang's hand.

As soon as Hong Rong arrived, he noticed a man of his age squatting in front of the Jiugong grid drawn by Mai Xiang yesterday. He was naturally curious, thinking that he had encountered another math expert, so after Tong Liwen left, Hong Rong went to the Jiugong grid. .

But when Hongrong noticed Tong Liwen's message, he was shocked. Could it be for Mai Xiang?Is there something personal between these two?
When Hong Rong thought of this, then thought of Mai Xiang's age and identity, and then thought of the long-clothed boy he saw just now, the two were obviously not in the same class.

Hong Rong thought for a while, then erased the line written by Tong Liwen with his foot, and was about to bring Yong Jian into the temple when he saw Mai Xiang running towards him sweating profusely.

"Hi, I ran into you again." Mai Xiang had no choice but to say hello first.

"Girl, I was looking for you, have you done anything good recently?" Yong Jian asked first.

Mai Xiang doesn't want to deal with these two people anymore, she almost revealed her secrets in front of the other party yesterday, who knows what the other party will have waiting for her, besides, she already earned two liang of silver from the other party yesterday, Mai Xiang's principle is to try to Do not kill alone.

"No, it's still those things."

Hong Rong had already noticed that Mai Xiang came empty-handed today, so he asked, "Why did you come today?"

"Come find a friend."

"Friend? Male or female?"

Mai Xiang didn't expect that he would ask herself, and then realized that something seemed wrong with the other party today, which was obviously not like him.Besides, isn't he interested in Grid?

Mai Xiang didn't want to have anything to do with him, so she said, "Man, I have something to ask him."

Hong Rong probably didn't expect Mai Xiang to be so magnanimous and bold, but he looked at Mai Xiang for a few seconds, Mai Xiang scanned around and didn't see Tong Liwen, so he wanted to go inside to look for it.

"Who is it?" Yong Jian was curious and stared at Mai Xiang.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving first." Mai Xiang didn't want to accept the scrutiny of these two people.

Hong Rong didn't nod or shake his head when he heard this, so Mai Xiang had to bow her body. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Yong Jian with a smile, "Young master, I went to Zhang Jia's Zhuangzi yesterday. , Adis and Abida also came to escape the summer heat. By the way, I also gave Abida a pair of rich pigs, and there are many paintings. If the young master is interested, you may wish to go and have a look. The young master will definitely welcome you."

"Really, the two of them are here too. Where is their family's Zhuangzi? Is it far away?" Yongjian was happy when he heard this.

"It's not far, it's just over the back village." Mai Xiang pointed in a direction.

After hearing this, Yong Jian pulled Hong Rong to leave immediately. Mai Xiang saw that Hong Rong's face was also a little loose, and smiled secretly, "Xiang, I can't cure you yet."

After sending the two away, Mai Xiang went into the Reclining Buddha Temple to search around, but did not see Tong Liwen, and returned to the grove, thinking that he would go to Wan's house early in the morning, and might stay in Wan's house for a few days, Why don't you leave him a message so that he won't wait in vain.

Mai Xiang didn't think too much, took a branch, and wrote next to the Jiugong grid: "I have something to go out tomorrow, and I will be back in two days."

After Mai Xiang finished writing, she threw the branch on the ground, thinking that she had to go home to deliver something to Liu Huilan, so she left in a hurry.

Just as Mai Xiang left here, another man came, stood next to the Jiugongge, glanced at the Jiugongge on the ground, and then glanced at Mai Xiang’s message, squatted down on the ground, wiped the numbers on the Jiugongge, and figured it out by himself After a long time, Fang filled in the nine squares.

Just as he was about to leave, the man glanced at Mai Xiang's message again, thought for a while, and then wiped the message with his foot.
