Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 115

Qian Shi straightened her back and wanted to fight because she knew that Zhao Shi would definitely not be her opponent in a fight, and she was as dissatisfied with Zhao Shi as she was with Liu Shi, so she planned to have a fight today.

When Mrs. Qian was watching Mrs. Zhao being provocative, Mai Qing said crisply at the side: "Second Aunt, what people asked was 'did you really say kiss?' You mean you dare not say kiss , anyway, someone will bring something to her house."

"Yo, this little thing is so young that he can learn tongues?" The women just now smiled shyly.

"I'm not imitating my tongue, it's you who bullied my elder sister and second elder sister." No matter how young Mai Qing was, she knew that these people just laughed at Mai Xiang after laughing at Mai Huang, and she couldn't see it for a long time.

"Second brother and sister, feel your conscience and tell me, do you know if my eldest sister said she was kissing or not? Did my eldest sister feed the white-eyed wolf? Is there such a deliberate aunt as you?" Zhao said This time I straightened my back.

"How do I know how the bracelet on Da Ya's hand came from? I didn't say who would give Da Ya the bracelet?" Although Qian was still a little upset, her voice dropped.

"What? You said Da Ya has a bracelet on her hand?" Zhao asked belatedly, she had never seen any bracelet on Mai Xiang's hand.

In fact, it's not Zhao's fault, because Mai Xiang didn't tell her at all, but just explained to Ye Dafu. Although Mai Huang and the others noticed it, no one thought of telling Zhao.

"How do you think you are a mother? You don't even know what's on the child?" Mrs. Liu came out of the house a long time ago, glared at Mrs. Zhao, and of course she also glared at Mrs. Qian, feeling that Mrs. Qian had intentions today. Don't give her face.

When Mai Xiang in the room heard the movement, she also hurried out. Mrs. Zhao picked up Mai Xiang's arm and looked, and there was indeed a pair of bracelets, a pair of small silver bracelets, and she was slightly disappointed.

"You damn girl, when did you not tell your mother about the bracelet you have?" Mrs. Zhao lost face in front of everyone and was not happy, feeling that Mai Xiang didn't treat her like her mother.

"Mom, what is there to say?"

"Mai Xiang, come in with Mammy." Mrs. Liu wanted to bring Mai Xiang into the house to question her, but she forgot that there were a lot of people in the room.

In front of so many people, Mai Xiang couldn't help but give Liu some face, so she had to follow her into the house. Fortunately, Ye Dafu also heard what happened, and followed her in and said to Liu: "Mother, I'm sorry for this matter." I know, the last time Mai Xiang went to Tong's house, she gave Mrs. Tong a pair of longevity flower pendants. The old lady was happy, and Mrs. Tong was also happy. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gave Mai Xiang something, and this bracelet was also A pair of silver bracelets worn by children, nothing else."

"What longevity flower pendant?" Mrs. Wan asked.

She is really not reconciled, this Mai Xiang has something new and knows to go to the Tong family, and she can also receive gifts from the Tong family, but she does not accept things from her Wan's family, nor does she give her Wan's family gifts, could it be that Mai Xiang Do you really want to enter the Tong family?
This is unreasonable. Their Tong family has Wan's family, and their Wan's family has an extra son who is an official. Wan's family can barely be regarded as an official family. Now, could it be that Mai Xiang couldn't see it?

"Mother Wan, this is something my wife made recently, and it's on consignment at Tong's house, so I gave a pair to the old man first." Mai Xiang smiled. If it was changed before, she would definitely say that she would give her a pair. It's really not necessary now.

Mrs. Wan knew that Mai Xiang was trying to put her down, but there were so many people in this meeting, and it was difficult for her to tell Mai Xiang directly. It seemed that she really wanted to find a chance to have a good chat.

"The bride is here, the bride is here." There was a suona sound in the distance, and the children in the yard ran out to watch the excitement. If Mrs. Liu had anything to say, she couldn't ask at this meeting.

Mai Xiang also hurried back to the house to hug Mai Di. Damei and the others were very embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "We just thought it was fun, but we didn't expect them to hear it."

"Forget it, I made it clear anyway." How could Mai Xiang blame them?

"Okay, let's stop talking, let's go to see the bride." Someone pushed Mai Xiang out of the room.

After all, they were all a group of children, and when they talked about seeing the bride, they all flocked out.

When I came out to see that the gate of the courtyard was closed, when I was about to ask why, Mai Xiang heard someone knocking on the door and shouted: "Uncle and aunt, please open the door, we are sending the bride here."

The voices outside shouted three times before Sanfu opened the door. Erfu had brought a pot of fire to the house and went up to the door. At this time, the sedan chair had already stopped in the middle of the yard.

Wufu got off the donkey, took the bow and arrow from Ye Dafu, stood in front of the upper hall, and shot three arrows at the sedan chair. The brides-to-be on both sides of the sedan chair lifted the curtains, helped the bride get off the sedan chair, and handed it to the bride. A small porcelain vase helped the bride across the brazier and into the upper room.

Because there was a large kang in the upper room of the Ye family, the table of the gods of heaven and earth was set on the window sill. The master of ceremonies stood in front of the kang, and Ye Tiezhu and Liu Shi sat on the kang.

The ceremony was very simple. After worshiping heaven and earth, the bride was sent to the new house. Mai Xiang didn't follow, but turned around and followed Damei and the others to see the bride's dowry.

It's not that Mai Xiang is curious about what kind of dowry the bride has, but wants to use the dowry to judge what kind of family the bride's family is.

Not only Mai Xiang, but everyone in Ye's family is paying attention to the bride's dowry, because the woman sent twelve people to carry six things into the door, and the posture is very good, but one by one, a small half-foot-high vase is one by one. Yes, a pair of candlesticks, an ever-burning lamp, a washbasin, a urinal, and a footbasin, and two boxes. The boxes have been opened. One contains two bedding, and the other contains a new cotton-padded jacket. As for what is underneath , no one will turn it over.

"Tsk tsk, this trip is really worth it." Someone laughed.

"It's not worth it. It's really worth it for someone to raise such a good girl." Qian shi gloated at the side.

Mai Xiang saw the disappointment flashing in Liu's eyes, but quickly covered it up, still smiled and took out a stack of red envelopes from her pocket, and gave them to the twelve young men of various sizes.

Mai Xiang guessed that the dowry should be carried by close relatives of the bride's family, because the eldest is in his 20s and the youngest is only in his teens. It seems that the Li family is not a good deal.

The disappointment in Mai Xiang's heart is no less than that of Liu's, because she has always felt that Wu Fu deserves a good girl, but both Liu and Wu Fu are willing to this marriage.

The bride's natal family probably also felt that this thing was a bit shabby, and some lowered their heads.

"Come on, sit down, sit down, we've walked a long way, first sit down and drink some tea." Mrs. Liu greeted everyone politely.

Although she thought that the woman's house would not have any good things coming to her door, she did not expect that the other party would be so harsh and stingy.But the bride has already entered the door, and there is no chance to regret it. Who made her worry?

At this time, the woman's sister-in-law came out of the house, looked at the dowry and said, "Auntie, my mother said that the date you set is really too late, and we don't have time to make some dowry for my sister. Fortunately, the future will be long, and this life will be passed slowly. With people, things can be added slowly. My sister is a good hand in life, and we are really reluctant to marry her."

"Anyone can say beautiful words." I don't know who shouted. Anyway, there are many people in the yard, and the other party doesn't know who is who.

"This is not a pretty word. My aunt-in-law can testify. According to our wishes, I want to wait until next spring to marry my sister, but my aunt-in-law insists on this autumn. No, we are also trying to get my aunt in-law." The sister-in-law of the Li family said.

"Her sister-in-law, let's go in and have some tea," Liu said.

It is better not to say these words, the more the description becomes darker.

"Everyone sit down, the wedding banquet has begun, you must eat and drink well, drink well." Ye Tiezhu said loudly.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ye, we haven't eaten for three days because of your family's meal." Someone responded, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became much better.

At this time, Erfu and Sanfu were busy serving dishes one by one, and everyone was busy stuffing their mouths. Whether dowry or not, that is someone else's business. They can fill their stomachs in front of them It is true to be full.

After the meal, after everyone had dispersed, Mai Xiang and the others helped to pack things. Basically, each table was lighted with three lights, food light, rice light, and wine light. It can be seen that these people haven't seen oil and water for a long time.

When Mai Xiang was feeling emotional, Mrs. Liu and Ye Tiezhu sent Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Wan out.

"Mai Xiang, after a few days of busy work, let's come over to play with your nanny for a few days." Old Madam Wan said.

"Auntie, I really don't have time. I'm going to break the corn soon. All the big and small things in the family can't do without her." Ye Dafu refused before Mai Xiang, because he had promised Mai Xiang that he would never force her to enter. Wanjia, whether it's playing or something else.

"Such a young child also wants to go to the field?" Wan Baocai looked at Ye Tiezhu and asked.

"The family is really too busy." Ye Tiezhu could only lower his head, he was a little annoyed at Wanjia's reneging on his word, and also a little annoyed at himself for being unable to refuse Wanjia's favor.

"Second brother, when the winter is free, you bring your younger siblings to stay at home for a few days. You two brothers have a good chat together, and you haven't moved around these years. Don't be separated. Your elder brother had a dream a few days ago , Said that my mother told him in my dream that I haven't seen you go to worship her all these years, is she angry with her, and blamed her for not taking good care of you." Mrs. Wan said in a timely manner.

"Brother? This?"

"What is this? Before the first ten months, you and I will go to deliver cold clothes to mother." Wan Baocai said.

When Mai Xiang heard these words, not to mention the authenticity, but to Ye Tiezhu, it must have been too lethal. After all, he can be regarded as the adopted son of the Wan family, and it was Wan's mother who raised him. .

If these ten thousand families were coerced by kindness, would Ye Tiezhu be able to withstand it?
