Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 129

When Mai Xiang woke up, there was no one in the room, but she had an extra cloak on her body. She thought it was covered by a maid, and didn't take it to heart.

"Girl, you're awake, our Fujin is waiting for you." The maid standing at the door heard the movement and hurried over and said.

"Have the outside guests left?" Mai Xiang didn't want to see outside guests.

"The guests are all attending the banquet in the flower hall, and there are no outsiders around Fujin."

After hearing this, Mai Xiang followed the servant girl into Uladomin's inner room. Uladomin was leaning on the thick quilt at the top of the kang. Seeing Mai Xiang, she smiled and said, "Come here, eat with me."

Seeing Mai Xiang on the kang, the maid next to her yelled to the maid at the door, "Fu Jin is going to eat."

In less than 5 minutes, a maid carrying a food box came in to set the table. After the food was set, Uladomin said: "You all go down, my sister and I can talk freely."

"Fu Jin, don't you feel any pain?" Mai Xiang asked when she saw that Uladomin's complexion had improved.

"It's much better, I can still move, sister, you are really my sister's lucky star, and my sister is really lucky to know you."

"Sister, why are you saying these things again?"

"Sister, just now, my son and daughter were both named Gushan Beizi and Dorogege. You don't know, even serious members of the royal family, there are very few who were named just three days after birth." Uraduo Speaking of this, Min felt more grateful for Mai Xiang's goodness.

"Really? Then I really should congratulate my sister." Mai Xiang also knew something about it. He had seen it on TV, not all members of the royal family could be granted titles.

"Well, I should congratulate you. It's all thanks to you, sister. Just now, the old queen mother specially sent the mothers around me to come over to add pots, and rewarded the children with a lot of good things."

"That's the blessing of the sister and the child."

"The empress dowager's [-]th birthday just passed at the end of last month. The old man has always eaten vegetarian food and recited Buddha's name. He is the most kind to his children and grandchildren. By the way, I just heard from the mother next to the empress dowager that this time Hong Rong was also named Baylor. This is also a great grace. It is said that the Empress Dowager often told the Holy Majesty that the son and grandson of Prince Zhuang's family are the most filial, and they often search for strange things and jokes to make the old man happy. They sealed it."

"Sister, what's the difference between being sealed and not being sealed?" Mai Xiang knew there must be a difference, but she didn't know exactly what the difference was.

"Silly boy, I can't blame you for not being clear. This is sealed, and there is a fixed silver rice every year. The annual salary of Lord Baylor is 2500 hundred silver, and 2500 hu. Amu Xin also borrowed your light this time."

"Fu Jin, stop talking like that."

"Isn't there no outsider here? I know that Hong Rong's novelty must have come from you. I heard that there is a wind chime made of gold leaf and a set of wood-carved Fuwa. There are quite a few funny pictures, isn't this you and who else?"

"Sister, don't say this out."

"Understood, I kicked all the maids out. Sister, listen to my sister telling you that after you go home this time, you should stop selling things at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. When you turn around, my sister will give you 100 taels of silver, and you can take it." Go back and buy some land."

"Sister, I didn't pay off the 100 taels last time. I really don't want it this time. The old lady has promised me that when spring comes next year, she will plant some cherry saplings for my family. I will also raise some livestock and Poultry, I will do some manual work, and I will have no problem raising a family." Mai Xiang hurriedly refused.

"Sister, I'm not happy if you say that..."

"Fu Jin, the old lady, wife, and two concubines are here." Uladomin didn't finish speaking, Wanxia shouted outside.

Wan Xia opened the door curtain as she spoke, and a bunch of women came in one after another, along with A Mu Xin and three or four Ge Ge who were about the same age.

Seeing the old lady glanced at her, Mai Xiang hurriedly got off the kang, stood up straight and said hello.

"This child, it scares you. These are not outsiders. These two are also my nieces, and those are also my granddaughters. Come and meet me." The old lady pointed to these people and said.

"Hello madam, hello princess." Mai Xiang hurriedly saluted.

"This is Minmin and Amu Xin's new sister, Mai Xiang, and you guys know each other." The old lady took Mai Xiang's hand and said.

When the two ladies saw their mother's attitude, although they wondered why the mother valued a little girl in her teens so much, but since the old lady spoke, they couldn't help but express it. They glanced at the maids beside them, and all the maids turned around and went out. up.

"Sit down, aren't you full yet?" Seeing that Mai Xiang was still standing, the old lady said.

"What are you two talking about when you are hiding in the room?" Amuxin asked with a smile when she saw that only Mai Xiang and Ula Duomin were sitting opposite each other on the kang table, and there was a maid guarding the door.

"What else can we say? Say that our Xin Gege will also become a Fujin." Uladomin laughed.

As soon as Uladomin finished speaking, the little girls giggled.

"Mamo, aunt, look, my cousin knows how to bully me." Amu Xin pulled the old lady's sleeve and acted like a baby.

"Okay, what your cousin said is true, our Xin Gege will grow up in no time, and it's time to leave the cabinet." The old lady touched A Muxin's head and smiled.

She also just learned the news, which is indeed a great joy.

"No, Er Niang, it's double happiness today, no, counting Minmin's baby pair, it's triple happiness. It's a pity that my brother and sister-in-law didn't come back in time, otherwise, there should be a lot of fun." said a woman.

"Well, we have already set off, and we can catch up at the end of the year." The old lady mentioned her only son, and her face was immediately full of smiles.

"Old madam, madam, Fujin, I'm full, you can talk slowly, I'm leaving." Mai Xiang saw people talking about family affairs, so she had the nerve to stay.

"That's okay, Amusin, you take Mai Xiang out to play with them." The old lady must have something to say, so she nodded.

After hearing this, Amu Xin pulled Mai Xiang, and brought the little girls into the room where Mai Xiang lived.

"Mai Xiang, these are my cousins ​​and cousins. They all like the wind chimes you made. One of them said that he saw door curtains for sale in the capital. They were also made of lucky stars and thousand paper cranes. They cost two taels of silver each. It's a pity that they won't be available when she wants to buy them, so when you have time, make some for us, okay?"

"Okay, it happens that you can't do needlework during the first month, so I'll just fold this up, and I'll ask someone to bring it to you when it's done."

When Mai Xiang heard that the paper door curtains she made could be sold for two taels of silver each, she was a little surprised, because the price the Tong family gave her was five hundred dollars.

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang smiled and said to these girls: "My home is at the foot of the Reclining Buddha Temple in Xiangshan, facing the official road. In the future, I plan to open a shop there to sell my own handicrafts. If you pass through there, you can come in and have a look, or friends and relatives come over, and you can ask them to take what you want. In addition to the door curtain, there are also wind chimes, wall shoes, dart boards, purses, and various small things made of wheat straw. Wait, it's guaranteed to be different from what you usually see."

"Ah, so far away? Why don't you open your shop to the capital?" Someone asked.

"Well, it doesn't work now, there will be a day in the future." Mai Xiang smiled.

"Oh, Xiangshan is not bad, and it's not bad to go there when you go out to see the plum blossoms." Another girl said.

"It's easy to say, how many times have you been there?"

"By the way, is it possible that you are a countryman?" Someone responded.

"That's right, my family lives there." Mai Xiang didn't deny it.

When the ladies heard this, they immediately became less interested in talking, and Mai Xiang didn't mind either.

"Hey, isn't this the big brother-in-law's little study?" Someone glanced at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, and then at Mai Xiang.

Mai Xiang also guessed that it was a small study room, but she didn't think much about it, she just felt that this room was closer to Uladomin's inner room, so she let herself live in it.

After hearing this, the young ladies got off the kang and wandered around in front of Duobao Pavilion. They said that the vase was given by Yongzheng, the dish was given by Kangxi, and that Yu Ruyi was from Xiaozhuang back then. The queen mother rewarded the prince and so on.

"The younger sisters are all here, and I'm worried that no one will accompany the guests for me." When Yong En came in, he saw this chattering scene, and Mai Xiang stood aside, listening curiously.

It's not that Mai Xiang hasn't paid attention to the things in the Duobao Pavilion these two days. Of course, she knows that the things that can be placed in this mansion are definitely not ordinary, but she feels that this is too different from her life. Just like in her last life, Ye Meng never fantasized about famous cars, mansions and antiques, because this does not belong to her life.

As for the paintings hanging on the wall, Mai Xiang was interested because she wanted to know the approximate value of these paintings. She was worrying about Cao Xueqin. This was within her circle of life, and she could reach it with her hands.

But this time, Mai Xiang listened to the names of things spit out from their mouths, and her brain automatically converted them into auction prices in modern society. Yes, because no matter which thing is brought to the modern society, the price is sky-high, enough for Mai Xiang to lie down and eat for a lifetime.

"Brother-in-law, there are a few more calligraphy and paintings on your wall, and brother-in-law's recent paintings are even better."

"Really? What's the good thing?" Yong En smiled lightly.

"The pen is more concise, and the lines are more and more smooth. My brother-in-law deserves to win the honor of the eight families of Jinling." A 15-year-old woman looked at the calligraphy and painting on the wall, and looked at Yong En with eyes full of admiration.

Only then did Mai Xiang realize that the calligraphy and painting on the wall were the masterpieces of the man in front of her, but who are the eight Jinling families?Mai Xiang deeply hated her ignorance.

According to what the other party said, he had a high opinion of Yong En, but Mai Xiang saw that he was not very old, that is, in his early 20s.Perhaps artistic people are naturally romantic and unrestrained, so the man in front of him does have a good face and a good appearance, so it is easy to arouse the favor and admiration of the little girl. Uladomin squeezed his sweat.
