Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 145
After returning from Changning Town, Mrs. Zhao asked Mai Xiang for a long time. She was also curious about why Tong Liwen treated Mai Xiang so well.

Although Mrs. Zhao is a bit dull, she also understands how important this girl's reputation is. Although Tong Liwen is a good match for Mai Xiang in all aspects, Mai Xiang is still young after all, and the Tong family has not expressed anything. Mai Xiang's relationship with Tong Liwen is definitely not good for Mai Xiang's boudoir reputation.

Of course, in Zhao's eyes, the good match is based on the Wan family. In her perception, both the Tong family and the Wan family are the richest man in one party. If Mai Xiang can marry into the Tong family, it can be regarded as winning back for her. A little face, as to whether Mai Xiang deserves to enter Tong's house, this is out of her scope of consideration.

Mai Xiang dismissed Mrs. Zhao with a few words. She didn't want to explain so much, and she couldn't explain clearly to her.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao is a very nervous person. Seeing Mai Xiang categorically denying any abnormal relationship between the two, Mrs. Zhao put this matter behind her, because she was soon brought back by Mai Huang The news of Wanjia was attracted.

Mai Huang came back on the morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, two days earlier than expected, Mai Xiang was about to ask if something happened, but Zhao Shi grabbed Mai Huang first.

"Our Erya is back, come on, hurry up and sit on the kang, and tell your mother, what did you eat and see when you went to Wanjia this time, and what good things does Wanjia have?"

Mrs. Zhao is still closer to Mai Huang in her heart, because whenever Mai Xiang goes out, no matter where she goes to do something, Mrs. Zhao can't ask any questions from Mai Xiang's mouth. In other words, over time, Mrs. Zhao didn't bother to ask Mai Xiang any more.But Mai Huang is different, if something strange happened to Mai Huang, he is still willing to talk to Mrs. Zhao.

"Mother, eldest sister, their Wan family is really rich. There are so many rooms in their house, and there is a garden. Also, there are many maids in their house. There seem to be more than a dozen. Also, their family has good food. Every meal There are more than ten dishes, and..." Mai Huang wrung his fingers and looked at tens of thousands of places that were different from his own.

"Mai Huang, didn't you say you would stay for three to five days, why did you come back today? Why?" Mai Xiang interrupted Mai Huang.

"Well, this mother and grandpa won't let me talk about it."

"Mai Huang, don't worry if it's Grandpa and Nanny or Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister will just ask and won't tell others."

"Of course it was the elder sister who kissed, hee hee, in fact, the elder sister didn't ask, I also wanted to tell the elder sister." Mai Huang smiled flatteringly at Mai Xiang.

Mrs. Zhao patted Mai Huang, and said: "Your elder sister kisses, your mother won't kiss, little heartless, hurry up, if there is anything new, hurry up and talk about it."

"Mother, eldest sister, this time in Wan's family, I met two elder brothers of Wan's family. The elder brother who told the eldest sister has already said that he is married. This year, he seems to be going to take some talent examinations. There is also a brother who looks taller than that I told my elder sister that my brother was pretty good-looking, but Wanda asked him to go to school, but he didn’t want to go, and said he didn’t want to find a wife for him, so a quarrel broke out, and Wanda kicked him out as soon as he got angry. .”

"Okay, don't mention the person who told me to be close in the future, just say the first young master of the Wan family, and the other is the second young master of the Wan family. Who else is there in the Wan family?" Mai Xiang also patted Mai Huang on the head. , It's not pleasant to hear, why did the brother who told Mai Xiang kiss, what happened to the two of them, what kind of kiss?

"There are two older sisters."

"What about the second young master of the Wan family? Was he really kicked out of the house?" asked Zhao.

The reason why she cared about this was because the Wan family revealed that they told Mai Xiang the Second Young Master who was born out of a concubine. Although this matter failed, since Mrs. Zhao knew of his existence, it would be a lie not to be curious.

"Well, it seems that the second young master also ran away from home last year, just because Mrs. Wan wanted to marry him, so this time Mr. Wan said he wanted to marry him, and he wanted to run away again."

Mai Xiang pieced together some useful information from Mai Huang's messy sentences. It must be that when Mrs. Wan fell in love with her last year, she saw that Wan Zhigao disagreed, so she wanted to tell the second Wan about herself. The two disagreed, and even ran away from home to fight.

No wonder Mai Xiang later saw that the old lady Wan was not very active in this matter. The root cause was her grandson.

But it really made Mrs. Wan give up Mai Xiang's rib, and Mrs. Wan was really unwilling, so when Mai Xiang moved, Mrs. Wan sent someone to give him a generous gift, the purpose of which was to win over Mai Xiang. Xiang, after all, Mai Xiang is still young, and there is still plenty of time.

Unexpectedly, after Wan Chengyao came back this time, when the superiors assessed his achievements in water control of the Huaihe River this time, Longyan was overjoyed. All the wishes she made seemed to have come true.So, she changed her mind again, and asked her son to meet Mai Xiang, while continuing to persuade her grandson, who knew that her son was still not optimistic about Mai Xiang, and the grandson was still unwilling to submit.

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang admired the second child of the Wan family, a concubine's son, who had the courage to run away from home to fight against his marriage. This is really not like the dude of a big feudal family in this era.

"Then the second young master is really gone?" When Zhao Shi heard that the second young master was kicked out of the house, she really didn't understand.

"Let's go, Wan Da said that he was going to leave this school, and he would not recognize him as a descendant of the Wan family, and would not leave him a penny. He said that he could support himself, and the money of the Wan family would not be worth his money anyway. "

Just as Mai Huang finished speaking, Jiufeng came, and Mai Xiang pulled Jiufeng into her room.

"Grandma, you're here, tell me about the second son of the Wan family." Mai Xiang always felt that Mai Huang's words were incoherent, and the specific details were not clear.

Jiufeng squinted at Mai Xiang, she still held grudges. "Didn't you say that the Wanjia matter has nothing to do with you?"

"Grandma, are you really angry with me? I mean it doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter now. I'm just curious. Curiosity is not enough. Just listen to the excitement. Who doesn't like to listen and watch when there is excitement?" Mai Fragrant coaxing Jiufeng is a piece of cake.

The reason why Mai Xiang is interested in this Wanjia's second child is that after listening to Mai Huang's narration, she feels that this Wanjia's second child does not look like an authentic local. Have the courage and courage to resist marriage and run away from home.

Otherwise, a 17-year-old young master is actually less than fifteen years old. How can he support himself after he goes out?
"Mai Xiang, don't mention it, this Wan Zhiyuan is really good-looking, even better than a woman, but there is one thing, he is very cold to people, fortunately you didn't tell him, otherwise, I don't think life will be easy in the future, He was not born to Mrs. Wan, and Mrs. Wan is very guarded against him, so I don't want to tell him a good relationship." Jiufeng came over and said in a low voice.

"I know this, please tell me more about this matter about Wan Er Er, what is it called, Wan Zhiyuan?"

"What do I know? I just heard that Mrs. Wan was on guard against him, preventing him from studying and studying well. She put maids in his room all day long to seduce him. Somehow, she let a maid have a child. Later, that Adults and children died when the maid drank the abortion pill. This Wan Zhiyuan was beaten up by his father and sent to the school. Unfortunately, for some reason, this brother Wan went to the south, and this Wan Zhiyuan was sent back by the school. At this time, Aunt Wan wanted to simply tell him about a relationship, but she somehow let him know that the person who said the relationship was the one whose elder brother retired, so he had a fight with his family and ran away from home until I only came back on New Year's Eve, and I didn't stay at home properly when I came back, and I ran out every two days for three days, Brother Wan was already full of anger, so I drove him away this time." Jiufeng sighed slightly after finishing speaking. tone.

Mai Xiang didn't hear any more useful information, for example, how the other party resisted her family, and how she made a living when she went out, so she couldn't tell whether the other party had time-traveled or not.

No, Mai Xiang suddenly remembered that she once sold Pleasant Goat's kite to Mrs. Wan, if the other party was really a time traveler, then he must know her identity, and maybe she would come to meet her, and tell her Nostalgia.

"Mai Xiang, what are you thinking?" Seeing Mai Xiang nodding and shaking his head, Jiufeng asked.

"Nothing, where did you hear that?"

"Some are maids, some are women, and some are said by the two concubines from the Wan family. Mai Xiang, I think this rich family has a lot of troubles."

Mai Xiang was very happy when she heard this, and took the opportunity to persuade her: "No, especially people from small families like us are looked down upon and bullied all the time, so it's better to find someone with comparable conditions who can treat you wholeheartedly. Okay, you can also learn some crafts yourself, and you can help you live in the future, that would be great."

"What's so good about a small family? They don't have anything they want. They can't even eat well, and they can't make a new dress for several years." Jiufeng thought that in the future, she would be like her sisters-in-law all day long. Counting the few pennies, she would rather not marry.

Mai Xiang knew that Jiufeng had been spoiled by the Liu family, and it was difficult to reverse this concept for a while. No wonder the old people often said that this person is most afraid of being the life of a maid but being brought up as a young lady. Body, some are bitter.

"Then what kind of family do you want to marry?" This was the first time Mai Xiang asked Jiufeng formally.

"Me? It's still early. Mother said to let me do embroidery work for a few years, save more money, and keep it for myself in the future." Jiufeng inadvertently shook out what Liu said to her privately.

"Then do it well. Life is always made by people. If you work harder, you can always live slowly." Mai Xiang finally persuaded.

To be honest, Mai Xiang doesn't have much affection for Jiufeng, but after thinking about it, she is just a spoiled child, selfish, vain, and lazy, but her nature is not bad.With the idea of ​​doing good deeds every day, Mai Xiang can persuade her as much as she can, whether she listens or not, after all, this is her own life.
