Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 135
After all, Mai Xiang still didn't go out with the women of the Ye family.Because Mrs. Zhao couldn't sit still when Mrs. Zhao heard that Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun wanted to go, Mai Xiang simply asked her to go out with a few women from the Ye family, and stayed to see the children by herself.
When the Zhao family came back from the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, Mai Xiang saw that it was almost noon, and thinking that Huaici had made appointments with her before, Mai Xiang went home and picked up some things, and hurried to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha .

The two people who went first to Mai Xiang used to go to the backyard, but they didn't find Huaici, so Mai Xiang turned to the wishing pool, selling things to people and waiting for Huaici.

"Miss, happy new year, I wish you a lot of good things and blessings in the new year. This is a wind chime strung together with lucky stars. I hope it will bring you luck in the new year." Mai Xiang pointed forward The back of a lady walked.

The lady turned around after hearing this, and Mai Xiang smiled when she saw her, and said, "We meet again."

It turns out that the other party is Wan Zhigao's favorite girl, Kang Yi, but unexpectedly they meet again.

Seeing that Mai Xiang had changed into a new suit, the other party recognized it after a moment of surprise, and said with a smile, "It seems that your life is much better."

"Yes, thanks to all of you." Mai Xiang said bluntly.In fact, Mai Xiang will be wearing a new cotton dress, because she wants to come to sell things to ask for rewards, and it is not suitable to wear silk clothes, so Mai Xiang changed again before going out.

"What's the name of this thing? It's so unique and beautiful?" Kang Yi looked at the wind chime in Mai Xiang's hand.

It seems that it is the same in any dynasty, little girls like these flashy things.

"It's called Lucky Star, it's for you, I hope it will bring you luck." Mai Xiang handed over a string of bright red lucky stars.

The maid next to her didn't wait for the lady's order this time, and gave Mai Xiang a piece of silver. It seemed that Chinese New Year would be a good time, and Mai Xiang had already sent out five or six strings of lucky stars, and the other party gave them all silver.

"Well, what else is in your basket?" Kang Yi looked at the colorful things in Maixiang's basket, and thought it was very pretty, thinking that she might as well buy a piece and give it away as a gift.

"Mai Xiang, are you really here again?"

When Mai Xiang was explaining to the other party with her things, Tong Liwen brought Feng Nian over.

"Why are you here today?"

"I came to accompany my mother to offer incense. I thought maybe you would do business here, so I came here to try my luck. Who knows that you are here." Seeing Mai Xiang, Tong Liwen felt that he had a lot to say, but he didn't know what to say. Where to start.

"Pfft." Kang Yi, who was next to her, saw Tong Liwen's thoughts at a glance, and smiled. She didn't expect that a little girl like Mai Xiang would be liked by such a good man.

Thinking of this, Kang Yi inadvertently took a look at Tong Liwen, seeing his attire, he should be the young master of some family, how could he like Mai Xiang?

Tong Liwen was a little nervous when he saw Mai Xiang and didn't know what to say, but when he heard Kang Yi's laughter, he was even more at a loss, blushed, and stepped aside.

"Little sister, who is he?" Kang Yi whispered in Mai Xiang's ear.

"Miss, do you still want this thing?" Mai Xiang rolled her eyes, this woman's gossip mentality is always super strong.

"Yes, yes." Kang Yi smiled knowingly.

"Miss, it's just an acquaintance." Mai Xiang explained when Kang Yi lowered her head to pick something.

"I didn't ask anything."

Kang Yi picked out a few things by herself, bought a small basket from Mai Xiang, and ordered the maid to give Mai Xiang two silver coins of one tael. Mai Xiang thanked her, then walked to Tong Liwen and asked Tong Liwen What can you do with him?

"No, I just wanted to come and see you. Why are you here for the New Year's Eve?"

Tong Liwen originally wanted to ask, Mai Xiang has not been to the Reclining Buddha Temple for a long time, why did he come again on the first day of the new year?
Speaking of it, he is also contradictory. He wants to see Mai Xiang in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, but he does not want Mai Xiang to come to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to seek a living.

"You also know that today is Chinese New Year, people are more talkative today."

"By the way, how are the sheep and rabbits I gave you?" Tong Liwen has already inquired. If these two are well raised, they should be able to live as a family.

"It's not bad. The pair of rabbits have already given birth to a litter of ten. My father took care of them. Nine of them survived, and now they are about to give birth again." It was only then that Mai Xiang knew that rabbits had such a strong reproductive ability.

"By the way, remember to tell your father, sell this rabbit fur to our family, save your father from running around, and my restaurant wants rabbit meat."

"Really, thank you so much, it will save you a lot of trouble."

"Of course it's true. My family originally bought these things, and we can also send sheepskins in the future."

Mai Xiang and Tong Liwen had a conversation, Feng Nian walked around frequently, Mai Xiang guessed that the other party was in a hurry to leave, so she said: "Your mother should still be waiting for you, you go first, we can talk another day when we have a chance."

"Will you still come to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha often in the future?" Tong Liwen hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"I don't think I will come here often. From now on, I will open a shop at home, which is next to the official road anyway."

"It's still as good as this." Tong Liwen was relieved after hearing this.

After hearing this, Mai Xiang raised her head and glanced at him.

"Well, I'm leaving first, my mother is still waiting for me." Seeing Mai Xiang's clear eyes looking at him, Tong Liwen suddenly felt flustered, glanced at Mai Xiang, turned around and left in a hurry.

Mai Xiang watched him go, and when she was about to turn around to leave, she saw Wan Zhigao running over from a distance, searching around while running, Mai Xiang hurried away, a little puzzled that these two people were so bold that they dared to meet privately?
Thinking of the private meeting, Mai Xiang thought of Huai Ci and Tong Liwen again, probably in the eyes of others, he was considered a private meeting, right?It seems that I have to pay more attention to my words and deeds in the future.

Mai Xiang went around to the Reclining Buddha Hall and sold two more things, and then turned to the backyard again. Just as she turned into the courtyard gate, she was suddenly struck from behind, and Mai Xiang fell down slowly. , and was quickly packed into a big bag by two people.

At this time, under the big tree not far from Mai Xiang, Huai Ci was holding a branch while filling the nine squares and waiting for Mai Xiang.When he raised his head and looked towards the courtyard gate, he suddenly saw two men leaving in a hurry with a sack on their backs.

Huaici didn't pay attention at first, thinking that the pilgrim came to deliver things and went to the wrong place, and then went to fill in his nine squares, but he couldn't calm down, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, if it was a pilgrim, why would he be carrying a big bag , and, the more I think about it, the sack looks like a person.

In a flash, Huaici ran to the gate of the courtyard a few steps, and saw a basket dropped on the ground, and there were several paper-stacked five-pointed star-like things in the basket. He picked up a bunch of them to have a look, and they must be girls' things.

Although Huai Ci has never seen Mai Xiang selling these things, he has seen Mai Xiang selling grass, and he also knows that Mai Xiang is begging for a living at the Reclining Buddha Temple, because every time Mai Xiang came to see him, he always carried a basket.

Thinking of this, Huaici hastily chased after them, but there were no figures of those two, he ran out of the temple, pulled out his horse, and chased down the mountain.

Besides, when Ye Dafu was at home, he didn't see Mai Xiang go back to the old house until the sun went down. He always felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent Wu Fu to search in the new house, and then to Cao Xueqin's house, but there was no one there. Come back and talk to Ye Dafu.

When Ye Dafu heard that Mai Xiang had disappeared, he suddenly felt that he had been emptied and couldn't even stand upright. It was Er Fu who supported him.

"Let's go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and look for it. I heard the eldest sister say that she is going to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha." Mai Huang cried.

"Yes, yes, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha." Leaning on crutches, Ye Dafu wanted to go out and look for it by himself.

"Brother, don't follow, let's hurry up and don't waste time." San Fu said hurriedly.

"Third brother, you can just say a few words, and drive the donkey cart and take the eldest brother away quickly." Wu Fu pushed San Fu to drive the cart.

Before going out, Ye Dafu thought of something, and said to the women at home: "Don't say anything about this."

Mai Huang and the others looked at Ye Dafu with tears in their eyes, and said, "Father, you have to get eldest sister back."

"Hey, I'm going too, I'm going to find my daughter too." Seeing Ye Dafu leaving, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Dafu's sleeve, and also wanted to follow.

"Okay, just stay at home and watch the child." Ye Dafu pulled out his sleeve.

"It's all my fault. If I knew I wouldn't go out in the morning, nothing would happen if I let this child go with you. If something happens to my daughter, I won't be alive anymore. Woohoo, my poor girl. ..." Seeing that Ye Dafu had gone out, Mrs. Zhao became more and more frightened as she thought about it.

"Shut up, the child doesn't know what's going on? You don't know the taboos for the New Year's Eve?" Ye Tiezhu stopped Zhao.

"Father, it's not your daughter who dares to lose her love, she is my daughter, and my whole family is pointing at her. If she wants to do something good or bad, how will our family live?" Mrs. Zhao didn't care about this, and said howl on.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, a child as big as Da Ya has a sense of responsibility in doing things, how could he lose it? There must be some delays. Could it be that he met Miss Gege again and followed her to the capital? " Sun said.

"It's possible." Mrs. Zhao stopped crying and blinked her eyes.

"Third sister-in-law, you also know that she has a sense of propriety, why did she leave without telling her family?" Li Shi was anxious, she wished she could go out and look for it by herself, but she didn't know where Mai Xiang would usually go.I want to ask, but I am afraid that I am too busy.

Sun rolled her eyes a few times and said, "Sister-in-law, could it be that Mai Xiang ran away with the family's money?"

"Run away? What does this mean?" Several voices asked in surprise at the same time.

Mrs. Sun's words successfully fooled everyone in the room.
