Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 139
Early the next morning, when Mai Xiang woke up, Huai Ci was no longer in the house. After Mai Xiang got up and searched around, there was no one, and the courtyard door was locked from the outside.

Mai Xiang had no choice but to go back into the house, and saw a kettle sitting on the stove, and a small wooden basin beside it, with a new towel on the basin.

Mai Xiang couldn't understand this Huai Ci, and said he had no heart, he not only risked his life to save Mai Xiang, but also took good care of Mai Xiang, said he had a heart, and was eager to clear up the grievances between the two , for fear that Mai Xiang would depend on him, and even though the two of them slept on the same kang last night, one at the head and the other at the end, Huaici still put a kang table between them.

Forget it, don't think about it, Mai Xiang washed up and went back to the kang, only then did she see a comb on the kang table, just as Mai Xiang picked up the comb to comb her hair, she heard something outside, and rushed out to greet her.

"Mai Xiang, is it really you? Girl, what's the matter? Why do you look like this?" Seeing Mai Xiang coming out, Madam Guan took a few steps and took Mai Xiang's hand to look at her.

"Mommy, I'm fine, I'm much better, this little brother saved me. Didn't Fujin know you were here?"

"Fu Jin hasn't woken up yet. I didn't dare to disturb you. I'll come and see you first."

"That's good. Did Nanny bring clothes?" Mai Xiang saw that Nanny Guan was holding a bundle in her hand.

"There is nothing suitable for you to wear, so I had to borrow it from the maid, so I came here in a hurry, let's change it first." Guan Nanny pushed Mai Xiang into the room.

While changing clothes, Mai Xiang said, "Nurse, it's really not a big deal. I'm lucky. I was taken away at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha yesterday. This little brother happened to see me. He happened to know me and chased me all the way. Come here, save me after dark, I didn't suffer much, but I'm afraid that my family will be worried when I go home like this, and it's hard to explain to my family, if it's convenient for the mother, she can take me back personally , explained to my family that I met me at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha yesterday, and brought me to the capital in a hurry, and I didn’t have time to tell my family. Do you think this is appropriate?”

"Who kidnapped you?"

"I don't know either. My eyes were tied. They said they would sell me at dawn. They locked me in a broken yard and left. It happened that this little brother saved me."

This belly draft was prepared by Mai Xiangzao. If this is the case, this matter will be defined as accidental. The other party did not deliberately kidnap her, but just abducted and sold. This is good for everyone.

"This bunch of blind bastards will do this kind of outrageous and immoral thing during Chinese New Year, and God will not spare him." Guan Nanny gritted her teeth and cursed.

"By the way, which yard is it? Do you remember? Ask Lord Baylor to find someone to take over his lair, so as to save these disasters and come out to harm people in the future." After cursing, Madam Guan thought of another thing.

"I don't know the dark one, so I have to ask that little brother." Mai Xiang also wanted to know who the other party was.

"Come on, go back with me to see Fujin first, and then I'll take you home."

"Grandma Guan, don't disturb Fujin. It's New Year's Eve. Fujin is still in confinement, and I have nothing to lose. Why let Fujin worry about it? I have one thing to ask Mommy, my father is afraid I will come to look for Mammy early in the morning, and I will trouble Mammy to tell the boy guarding the gate, if my father finds me, tell Mammy to send me back today."

After hearing this, Guan Nanny thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll just do what you do first, don't worry about this matter, I'm here."

After Madam Guan finished speaking, she saw that Mai Xiang had changed her clothes and washed herself, so she took Mai Xiang's hand out and said to Huai Ci: "My little brother, thank you for saving Miss Mai Xiang. Just send her back, and I will make a special trip to thank you later."

"There is no need to thank you."

"It should be, it should be." Guan Yuma looked at the young man in front of her, and she was a little surprised. She had rarely seen a man so handsome. Guan Yuma looked at the environment in front of her and could tell that This little brother's family background is also average, I'm afraid, this appearance may not be a good thing for him.

"I'm Nanny Guan from Gongbeile's residence. If my little brother has any difficulties in the future, you can send someone to come to me." Sister Guan gave Huai Ci a promise.

"Thank you."

Mai Xiang followed Nanny Guan to the gate of Gongbeile Mansion. Nanny Guan got out of the car and talked to the boy at the door, then went into the mansion again, and came back after about half an hour, bringing a maid, two Everyone has a lot of things in their hands, including a bundle and some boxes.

"Nurse Guan, this?"

"My child, you have to do a full set of acting. How can you go into the mansion and let you go back empty-handed? Isn't this a lie?" Guan Nunnies said after the maid left.

"It's really troublesome for you." Mai Xiang felt very sorry, and asked her to come with her, and let her get on with these things.

"It's better than anything else if you can think of Nanny Guan at this moment." Nanny Guan helped Mai Xiang into the carriage.

When Mai Xiang stood at the door of her house again and rang the bell, her heart really settled down.

"Big sister, is it you? Really you are back, big sister?" Mai Huang saw Mai Xiang and jumped up.

"It's Eldest Sister who came back. Eldest Sister was in a hurry yesterday and went to the capital. What about Father and Mother, aren't you scared?"

"Mother is crying in the house. Father and Uncle Wu have gone out to find you, saying they are going to the capital."

When Mai Xiang heard this, she guessed that Ye Dafu must have gone to Baylor Mansion for help, so she said, "Go to the old house and tell Mommy and Grandpa that I'm back."

To refute the rumors, one must start with one's own family, and Mai Xiang still knows this truth.

At this time, Mrs. Zhao in the room heard the movement and came out to check. When she saw Mai Xiang, she also rushed forward, beat Mai Xiang, and cursed at the same time: "Damn girl, where did you go, you scared to death!" Damn you, if you want something good or bad, how will your mother live..."

"I'm really sorry, grandma, yesterday we were also unlucky, I came to the Reclining Buddha Temple to offer incense for us, but suddenly I suffered from an old problem of angina pectoris, Miss Mai Xiang happened to see me lying on the ground, frightened Don't worry about sending me back to the capital, so I didn't have time to tell you, it's all my fault." Madam Guan took the matter away.

Mrs. Zhao knew the identity of Nanny Guan, so she didn't dare to blame her, so she wiped her tears and said, "We are also in a hurry, and we haven't found it after searching for a whole day. The child's father hasn't slept all night, so he went to borrow a carriage at dawn. Woohoo, I don't know what to expect from this meeting?"

"Okay, mother, don't cry, am I okay?" Mai Xiang could only comfort her.

"Mai Xiang, are you really back? Where have you been? You are going to scare me and your husband to death." Liu Huilan also opened the door when she heard the movement, and pulled Mai Xiang up and down to look at her. Fuzzy, because her tears never broke.

Mai Xiang wiped her tears with a handkerchief herself.

Madam Guan explained again, she was a little wondering who this person was, it seemed that Mai Xiang was closer to her than to her mother.

While talking, all the women of the Ye family came over and surrounded Mai Xiang and Guan Nanny to inquire.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Liu Shi's eye circles were also red, and of course, Li Shi and Jiu Feng's eyes were swollen, and they must have shed tears last night.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and sit for a while." Mai Xiang said.

For a long time, she only had a sip of hot tea and a few snacks in the car. She was already hungry, but she didn't dare to say so.

"No, after walking for a long time, I'm also thirsty, just in time to ask for a cup of tea." Madam Guan said, she was also called away by Huai Ci early in the morning, and she didn't have time to eat.

The Liu family also followed Mai Xiang into the house, and Mai Xiang went to make tea by herself and brought out some snacks.

"Mom, let's order some dumplings for Mammy Guan to make up for it. Mammy Guan will have to go back soon, and she should be hungry when she gets home." Mai Xiang suddenly remembered that she might be hungry too.

"Then I'll trouble grandma. The old lady's health is not good, she can't stand hunger, and she panics when she's hungry." Guan Nanny laughed.

"Let me come, sister-in-law, let's rest." Li Shi hurriedly got off the kang, she is familiar with Mai Xiang's place, and she helped make the dumplings, so she naturally knows where to put everything.

When Guan Nanny and Mai Xiang sat down to eat dumplings, Ye Dafu and Wu Fu also rushed to Baylor Mansion. The gatekeeper, Suixi, heard that Ye Dafu came to find Guan Nanny. Seeing Ye Dafu's lame leg, he hurriedly said "My lord, are you here to find Miss Mai Xiang? This morning, Nurse Guan sent her back."

"Ah, really? Mai Xiangguo really came here?" Ye Dafu immediately returned to his place when he heard this.

"Of course, Nanny Guan sent her back early in the morning, saying that she was afraid that the family would worry, so she sent her home early."

"Thank you, young master." After Ye Dafu finished speaking, he grabbed a handful of copper coins for the other party.

Unexpectedly, when Ye Dafu turned around and was about to leave, another servant came out from inside, Suian, who happened to be the same servant who stopped Ye Dafu and Mai Xiang last time, he also recognized Ye Dafu at a glance, and hurried forward to please him Said: "Hey, you brought Miss Mai Xiang to pay New Year's greetings so early? I'll let you know."

When Ye Dafu heard this, he didn't agree with what the person in front said, so he pulled Suixi and asked, "Are you really sure that Madam Guan sent my daughter Maixiang?"

"Of course, Nanny Guan left this gate early in the morning, and she gave me a few words of advice before she left," Sui Xi said.

"Then what did he say differently?"

"Sui'an is not on duty, how can I know? Uncle, you can go back with peace of mind, your girl is sitting at home safely. Can this be fake?" Suixi said.

"Ah, you don't even know when your daughter came? What's going on here?" Suian asked.

"Okay, this is none of your business, so don't ask so many questions." Suixi pushed Suian impatiently.

The more Ye Dafu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, the more he felt that he had no idea, and asked with a face almost crying: "You two young masters, can you give me an accurate answer, is my daughter coming or not?"

"Come here yesterday."

"No, I was on duty yesterday, and I didn't see Miss Mai Xiang coming in." Just as Sui An finished speaking, Sui Xi gave him a wink, knowing what was going on here, and just about to change his words, he saw Fujin Wanyun, the maid beside her, came over.
