Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 94

At this time, Mai Xiang was lying on the kang talking with A Muxin, and suddenly felt a chill on her back. It seemed that she had to be more careful in her actions recently, and it was not easy to be fooled by a first-rank grand scholar.

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang decided not to go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha in the near future, but to take care of the housework at home. It just so happened that the Huai Ci class was over, and those aristocratic ladies also returned to the city to prepare for the draft.

"Gege, can I go home early tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, my mother will take me to visit some relatives tomorrow, and I can't say a few words if I keep you here. I have already prepared things for you, and I have found two new clothes for you. I also found some old clothes and padded jackets for you when you were young, so don’t dislike them.”

As she spoke, Amu Xin's eye circles turned red, because she didn't know if she would have a chance to meet Mai Xiang next time. Mai Xiang was her first friend who could talk happily without worrying about her status. Even more precious.

"Am I such a confused person? Because of how stupid I am, I still understand." Mai Xiang deliberately rolled her eyes.

"Yo, whoever says you're stupid, I won't do it. My mama has praised you a lot, saying that your mouth is easy to use." Amusin said and twisted Mai Xiang's mouth.

Seeing that her mood quickly recovered, Mai Xiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she didn't like the sadness of parting either.

Early the next morning, after Mai Xiang had breakfast, Amu Xin took Mai Xiang to resign from the old lady and his wife. When getting into the carriage, Mai Xiang looked at the tearful A Mu Xin, her eyes were also wet, and stepped forward. One step later, he gave Amu Xin a hug, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, you will definitely get your wish."

Mai Xiang's actions surprised the maids and women around her. Nanny Li was about to reprimand Mai Xiang for a few words, but when she saw that Mai Xiang had let go of A Mu Xin, she stopped.And before Amusin could recover from Mai Xiang's hug, she was again taken aback by Mai Xiang's words.Therefore, Mai Xiang left the Grand Scholars' Mansion under Amusin's shocked eyes.

Mai Xiang chatted and laughed with Nanny Li in a good mood all the way, and at the same time calculated the harvest of entering Gege Mansion this time. Amu Xin sent a lot of old clothes. It is probably new, and most importantly, she has the winter padded jacket and coat that she lacks the most. Even A Muxin's grandmother and mother also gave Mai Xiang two pieces of clothing materials, not to mention a pile of rice, flour, grain and oil.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the carriage turned to the gate of her own yard, Mai Xiang heard the sound of arguing.

"Why? Who helped my granddaughters when they didn't have enough to eat? Who of you reached out when my daughter was sick and couldn't move in bed? Oh, your daughter knows to ask us when she has nothing to eat. want?"

Mai Xiang hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage door and saw that it was Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Qian who were arguing in the yard. There were a few spectators standing at the gate of the yard, and several heads were lying on the wall of the neighbors on the other side. , Mai Xiang's good mood dissipated immediately.

"Yo, our big girl is back." Seeing Mai Xiang's return, Shi Yu hurriedly stopped talking, walked to the carriage a few steps, and fixed her eyes on the things in the carriage.

Seeing her approaching, Mai Xiang had no choice but to suppress her desire to run away. To be honest, Mai Xiang does not lack her food now, but after a few contacts, she felt that the old lady spoke and acted a bit nondescript and commonplace. To put it bluntly, she just doesn't know the key. Mrs. Zhao is like her in this respect, she seldom understands, but often is confused.

For example, at this time, how could she, a family member of her natal family who came to visit her daughter's house, quarrel with Qian Shi?What's more, she is not afraid of being ridiculed for a bite of the child's food?There were quite a few people standing outside to watch the excitement.

Since the last time Er Fu came to ask for food with Mai Jin in his arms, every time Mai Xiang made rice soup for Mai Di, she would bring a bowl of slightly thicker rice porridge to Mai Jin, not for anything else but for the pity of the child.

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Yu came, she would quarrel with Mrs. Qian over a bowl of rice porridge. She is an elder, and her behavior is a bit too out of tune. Mai Xiang finally understands that every time she goes to Beipo Village, the Why are people so lukewarm when they see Mrs. Zhao?

"Grandma is here?" No matter how unwilling she was, Mai Xiang had to say hello, even though she really wanted to drive her home immediately.

"Da Ya, Da Ya, what did the old lady give you today?" When Mai Xiang was having a headache for Yu Shi, Zhao Shi shouted again.

Ever since the family had delivered things in a carriage several times, when Mrs. Zhao saw the carriage entering the yard, she was as excited as if she had been beaten with chicken blood. She shouted out loudly, wanting to let Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun know, of course, I also want the onlookers to see and envy her for raising a good girl.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Zhao's voice fell, Mrs. Qian forgot what she was arguing just now, Mrs. Sun also came out of the house, and Jiufeng was also there, and Jiufeng was still wearing that bracelet, not to mention those The onlookers scratched their necks and watched as the boy sent things into Mai Xiang's room in large and small packages.

"Mother, what are you calling, are you not afraid of being laughed at?" Mai Xiang gave Zhao a dissatisfied look.

"What kind of joke is this? Girl, you don't know, your second aunt is the only one who is ridiculous. You are not at home today, and Erya forgot to bring rice porridge to your second aunt. Your second aunt came in with Wuya in her arms just now. Just complain about Erya, as if we owe her home."

Mrs. Zhao is not only a protector, but also a protector of food. Originally, Mai Xiang was unwilling to deliver rice porridge to Mai Jin every day, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Qian came to criticize Mai Huang when she failed to deliver the rice porridge every day. How could Mrs. Zhao tolerate her? this?
This Yu family is also more of a food protector, why does this white bowl of rice porridge make it cheaper for outsiders?Her little grandson has just turned one year old, and he can't get enough to eat!
When Mrs. Qian heard this, she hurried forward, holding Mai Jin in one hand, and Mai Xiang in the other, and said: "Da Ya, Second Aunt really didn't blame you. You have to talk about this matter. Your Second Aunt and I will talk about it again." Hun, I also know that you are kind enough to take pity on our McGinn, how can I not count? But you are not at home, none of them is willing to send the bowl of rice porridge, I, I also see that the child is really hungry In a panic, I went to find your mother."

Qian Shi was in tears while talking.

"Okay, don't talk about it now." Mai Xiang was angry. Who are these people? If she gave up a bowl of rice porridge, how would she go out and behave in the future?

Also, this made Nanny Li go back and learn from the old lady or A Muxin. If they believed it, how would she go to see him in the future?
"Mother Li, I'm sorry to make you laugh. The place at home is crowded and messy, so I won't keep you." Mai Xiang turned to Mother Li and smiled embarrassedly.

"It's okay, who hasn't had any bad things? I'll leave first, old lady."

Nanny Li smiled knowingly, glanced at these spectators again, and said, "You all go home too."

When everyone saw Li Nanny's imposing manner, how could they dare to tell the difference, they dispersed long ago, and Li Nanny also took the opportunity to leave.

"Big girl, this Gege's family gives you some food every time you come here, why didn't you think of giving you some gold, silver, or jade?" Mrs. Sun said, looking at the things piled up on the Maixiang Kang.

After Sun finished speaking, she took a special look at the bracelet on Jiufeng's hand.

"Third Aunt, look at what you said, you can't be too greedy, and Gege's family doesn't deserve us. If you are willing to give us some food and clothes to help us, we will be grateful. How dare you be greedy for anything else?"

Mai Xiang spoke ahead of Mrs. Zhao, and she was secretly annoyed that this Jiufeng was also an ignorant, a peasant girl who had to do housework at home, so why did she have to wear such an expensive bracelet?What's the point of inducing everyone's grievances?Originally, these women had shallow eyelids.

"What kind of greedy or not? It's not what you ask for. You don't even want it delivered to your door. You are a fool. If you want it, it's worth dozens of taels of silver! Isn't it enough for your house to build? Not only Enough is enough, and we can build a big yard." Mrs. Sun giggled after speaking.

Ye Dafu went out to find people a few times, and inquired about building a house. Because it was the busy farming season, the wages for finding someone were a bit high now, at 35 Wen a day. If they waited until after the autumn harvest, [-] or [-] Wen Almost enough people can be hired, because the money in his hand is not considered rich, and Mai Xiang has always emphasized that he needs to build a green brick house, so Ye Dafu wants to wait another two months.

But Mrs. Sun is not very willing. She still hopes that Ye Dafu will move out earlier so that she can move in. The two rooms are much more spacious, and the room here is brighter, so it is easy to do needlework. Being able to pick up her mother and stay with her for a few days, Liu's state like this must not be expected.

There is another reason, the food at Mai Xiang's family is so delicious every day, and every time it lures Sanfu and Mai Miao's gluttons out, but she doesn't have the strength to fight with Mai Xiang's family, so it's better not to see it. net.

Mrs. Sun's words once again successfully aroused Mrs. Zhao's dissatisfaction. Ms. Zhao is still sighing over the Wanjia bracelet that Mai Xiang missed, especially when she learned that it was a high-quality mutton jade, worth tens of taels of silver. Sometimes, even complaining a few words from time to time.

If Mai Xiang had asked for that bracelet at the beginning, it would be able to wear it on her hand now, and she would be able to go out and talk about it.

"That's right, your third aunt is right. How can this be called greed? That bracelet was originally given to you, and it's worth tens of taels of silver. You damn girl, you are generous. If you don't want it, you don't want it." Mrs. Zhao also glanced at the bracelet on Jiufeng's hand, and her resentment was unusually deep.

Dozens of taels of silver is really a huge sum of money for a farmer's family, and it's about to fall into Mai Xiang's hands. This girl, if she doesn't want it, it's all right now, and she doesn't even have a big yard.

"Ah? What bracelet?" Yu was also interested when he heard this.

When Mai Xiang saw them like this, she didn't bother to reason with them, so she dragged Mai Huang into the house.
