Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 126 Grass roots are grass roots
"What's wrong? You can't do this?" Seeing Hong Rong staring at herself with a dark face, Mai Xiang realized that she seemed to have made a mistake.

"It's okay, I'll try it." Adis understood Mai Xiang's intention and said.

"I'll go too." Seeing that his brother had already said he was going, Abida also hurriedly said.

"Hey, you two can't leave me behind." Yongjian saw that he was the only one left, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Well, I don't think a person will always be so smooth all his life. Sometimes, having an extra life experience is a bad thing for him, especially for boys." Mai Xiang explained weakly. said a word.

After hearing this, Hong Rong realized that Mai Xiang didn't mean to embarrass them on purpose, and his face softened a little. Mai Xiang curled his lips. Even Addis understood the truth, but he was still waiting for himself to explain.

"Yongjian never had a father's love since he was a child." Hong Rong explained without ignoring Mai Xiang's expression.

"Okay, it's good to talk about it. I'll say that Mai Xiang will not be careless in doing things." A Muxin felt a little sorry to see Hong Rong's face was sombre.

Mai Xiang turned her face away, once again experiencing the embarrassment brought about by her humble background.

Fortunately, not long after, Yong Jian ran over with a bunch of money, his face flushed, and he shouted from seven or eight meters away: "Girl, girl, I sold your inkstone."

Mai Xiang took the copper coin he handed over, returned his jade pendant to him, and boasted, "That's right, you are the first of the three of you to complete the task, really capable."

"Really? Am I really capable?" Yong Jian asked uncertainly while holding Mai Xiang, his eyes bright.

"of course it's true."

After hearing this, Yong Jian looked at Hong Rong, Hong Rong probably didn't expect that such a small compliment would make Yong Jian so happy, he also touched Yong Jian's head with a smile, and said: "We Yong Jian can do it. "

"Another capable person is back." Amu Xin looked at the side of the road and smiled.

"Sister Mai Xiang, sister Mai Xiang, I'm back." Abida came back with two strings of money in his hand.

Mai Xiang remembered that what he took away was a copper target mirror, but unexpectedly sold it for two strings of money.

"Young master is so powerful, how did you do it?" Mai Xiang was curious about how a six-year-old child would ask for a price.

"I gave the mirror to a beautiful sister. I praised her a few words, and she gave me a string of money. I shook my head, and she added another string to me."

Mai Xiang laughed when she heard this, and Amusin also smiled and patted Abida's head, saying, "It's all my fault, I keep telling him about the first time I saw you, who knows he actually remembers it."

Mai Xiang personally put the jade on for him, and said: "Young master is a man, you can't do this in the future."

"Girl, you haven't put the jade on for me yet." Yong Jian looked at Mai Xiang serving Abida, feeling sour.

Mai Xiang had no choice but to take it over, put the jade on for him, and said, "Master Yongjian, are you satisfied with this?"

"Not satisfied, look at your expression, how can you look like a maid?"

When Mai Xiang heard this, she quickly shook her hands and said, "Go home and find your own maid."

"You..." Yong Jian didn't finish his sentence when Addis came back, and he gave Mai Xiang a piece of silver.

"You actually earned money?" Amu Xin asked with a smile.

"I asked several prices and sold the vase to the one with the highest bid," Addis said.

"It's really different by how much older you are." Hong Rong nodded approvingly.

To be honest, if he was asked to do this, he would definitely not be able to do it well, and he would feel ashamed. I didn't expect that none of these three little ones thought so. At this moment, they regarded themselves as ordinary people , and also have the happiness of ordinary people, it seems that the influence of Maixiang is really not small.

"Okay, my treat, let's go to the restaurant, and use the money you three earned just now." Mai Xiang smiled.

Originally, she wanted to go back to the palace, but seeing that Amu Xin and Hong Rong had no intention of separating, Mai Xiang had no choice but to be a good person again. In addition, she also wanted to see what the ancient restaurants looked like after coming so long , she hasn't been to a restaurant seriously yet.

"Okay, let's go to the restaurant with the money we earned." Addis shouted, and the other two young ones also jumped up.

"What shall we eat?" Abida asked.

"I know, there is a good restaurant here, Uncle Eight took me there." Yong Jian hurriedly volunteered to lead the way.

Yong Jian brought Mai Xiang into a Weixianju restaurant outside Liulichang, a small two-story building, Hong Rong asked for a private room on the upper floor, and as soon as everyone sat down, Xiaoer brought a pot of tea come over.

"What would you like to order?"

"What's there?" Mai Xiang asked proactively, because she was the owner and paid for it.

"Girl, this water sign says today's dishes." Xiao Er pointed to a wooden notice board by the window and said.

Mai Xiang turned her head away after hearing this, and looked at the notice on the water sign. This season is meat or meat. In short, there are no vegetables.

"All of us order one of our favorite dishes, I think that's enough. In addition, ask a few brothers at the door what they want to eat, and settle the account together." Mai Xiang finished speaking and looked at everyone.

"Okay, I want a grilled lamb chop." Yong Jian said first.

"I want a fried mutton with green onions." Abida also rushed to say.

Mai Xiang waited for everyone to finish ordering, and ordered a braised radish with lamb bones and a pickled cabbage for herself.

"Hey, girl, can you tell me a joke?" While waiting for the food, Yongjian was bored again.

"How can I have these jokes?" Mai Xiang gave the child a white look.

"Sister Mai Xiang, I know you must still have a lot of jokes in your stomach. Sister Mai Xiang, can you tell us one?" Abida smiled flatteringly at Mai Xiang.

Mai Xiang couldn't bear to refuse such a polite request from a six-year-old child. After thinking for a while, she said: "Once upon a time, there was a child who herded sheep. His family raised more than a dozen sheep. He drove the sheep to the mountain every day. One day, he lay on the Looking at the sheep grazing on the mountain, he felt very bored, so he came up with an idea to play tricks on others, so he yelled to the farmers who were working in the fields at the foot of the mountain: "Wolf is coming, wolf is coming, help, help!" Ah." The peasants at the bottom of the mountain heard this and rushed up the mountain with hoes and sickles. The wolf didn't see it, but saw the child clapping his hands and laughing, "Haha, you are so stupid, everyone who teased you has been fooled." The next day, he did the same trick again, and the kind-hearted farmers rushed up the mountain again. This time, the child laughed and bent over, "Haha, you are so stupid, you have been fooled again." Everyone said to the child again and again. Lie was very angry and ignored him again. Tell me, what happened next?"

"I know that when the wolf really came, the child called for help again, but no one came to help him again," Addis said.

"Then what will happen to this child?" Abida asked.

"In the end, all the sheep in his family were eaten by wolves, and he was terrified. From then on, he never dared to lie or be rude to others."

"It's not funny, it's not a joke." Yong Jian felt that Mai Xiang's last words seemed to be alluding to him.

"But there's a moral to the story, don't you think?" Addis asked.

Adis is less than two years older than Yongjian, probably because of the eldest son in the family, Adis looks much more mature than Yongjian.

"That's right, Sister Mai Xiang is teaching us not to lie, so that we can win more help from others." Abida said.

"Hey, look at our young master, he's so smart." Mai Xiang couldn't help pinching Abida's face.

"Girl, you are so courageous." Yong Jian shouted when he saw it.

Mai Xiang quickly stretched out her hand and said to Abida, "I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."

"It's okay, we are friends." Amu Xin said quickly.

Mai Xiang smiled bitterly when she heard this, grassroots are grassroots, and nobles are nobles. This gap is brought out from the blood and is deeply rooted. When necessary, nobles can treat grassroots as friends, but grassroots can never integrate into the circle of nobles. .

When Mai Xiang was sighing, Xiaoer served the food, and the gap appeared again. The maid Xiaoqing hurriedly served everyone, and there was no sound at the table, which was convenient for Mai Xiang.

The meal was finally finished in silence.

"Xiao Er, pay the bill." Mai Xiang has not forgotten that she has to pay the bill.

"Let me do it." Hong Rong said.

"Ba Ye, the story I just told, you must be honest in life, and don't go back on what you say." Mai Xiang said lightly.

Adis and Abida obviously felt that Mai Xiang was unhappy, and Adis naturally knew that Yong Jian's attitude just now hurt Mai Xiang's heart. After thinking about it, Adis asked: "Mai Xiang, what else do you need to buy for the New Year?" Is it? You invited us to dinner, why don't we give you some New Year's goods. "

"It's really unnecessary. I forgot to mention this. My family moved a few days ago. Thank you for the congratulatory gifts, which are too rich." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she formally thanked everyone.

"Mai Xiang, I don't like to hear you say these things. It's not easy to thank you all day long. Okay, let's go." Amu Xin stepped forward and took Mai Xiang's hand.

Abida asked, "Sister Mai Xiang, where shall we go next?"

"Young master, I'm sorry, I have to go back." Mai Xiang smiled at Abida.

"Where are you going?" Yongjian asked from the side.

"Mai Xiang is going back to Baylor Mansion, she is here to see my cousin." Amu Xin explained for Mai Xiang.

"Who is your cousin?" Yong Jian asked.

"My cousin's husband is Yong En Dorobeile, and my cousin is Fujin Fujin." Adis said.

"Girl, have you sold to his family to be a maid?" Yong Jian asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Yongjian, don't talk nonsense." Hong Rong finally stopped Yongjian.

"I won't be a maid, and I won't be anyone's maid." Mai Xiang said solemnly.

Yongjian pouted when he heard this.

"Don't worry, I won't let you be someone's maid." Hong Rong said, although his voice was not loud, but his tone was firm.

Mai Xiang was startled when she heard this, and looked at Amusin suspiciously, who shook her head.
