Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 158 Conjecture
Mai Xiang didn't expect that when she entered the scholar's mansion this time, she not only became a guest of the mansion, but also met a person who surprised her, Agui.
When Ah Gui returned to Beijing to meet with the Holy Majesty at the end of last year, the emperor thought of Zhang Jia's family's contributions over the years, and specially graciously kept Ah Gui in the Ministry of Officials and rewarded him with a Yuanwailang. Although his rank was downgraded, he was released. In less than a year, the emperor thought of him and kept him by his side again, which showed that the emperor still trusted him, and it was also a sign that the emperor would reuse him.

How did Mai Xiang know that Zhang Jia's family thought of Mai Xiang's dream again because of Ah Gui's return to Beijing, so naturally they also thought of Mai Xiang.So knowing that Mai Xiang was in Baylor Mansion, he invited Mai Xiang here in the name of the old lady.

So Mai Xiang, Ula Duomin and A Muxin just entered the house, and just said hello to the old lady, the old lady said with a smile: "Girl, if I don't send someone to pick you up, you don't want to come and see me." This old lady?"

"Returning to the old lady, in fact, Mai Xiang has long wanted to visit the old lady, and thanked the old lady in person, thanking the old lady for taking care of Mai Xiang, Mai Xiang must take good care of those saplings, and strive to give the old lady an early Serve the first crop of fresh fruit." Mai Xiang saluted again.

"There's no need to thank you, this trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Speaking of which, I should be this old woman to say thank you. It's no other reason to invite you here today. Since you saved Minmin last time Afterwards, I thought about treating you to a good meal, but I really didn't have the time and thought for that meeting, and then, it was the end of the new year, and then it was the first month, and it dragged on until now." The old man After the man finished speaking, he took a special look at Mai Xiang.

"It's true. Mama has been reading it for several months, and she wants to treat her sister to a meal. Just today, Lord Belle said that someone gave him a few baskets of prawns. I sent them to Mama, and I also asked Mama to taste it." Fresh." Uladomin laughed.

"That's a good thing, but I'm partial to the things of my grandson-in-law. Someone sent me a few big fish from the south, and they are still alive. I will give my grandson-in-law two to taste, and I will also give them to Mai Xiang. The girl kept two." The old lady laughed.

"I don't dare to take it seriously. It would be nice for Mai Xiang to have this good fortune. How dare I take it?" Mai Xiang hurriedly waved her hands.

"My Mamo really loves you, so I'll just take it for you. Mamo likes the toothbrush you gave Mamo." Amu Xin said from the side.

Just as Mai Xiang was about to speak, a man and woman in their 30s entered the room. Mai Xiang had seen that woman before, she was A Muxin's mother. Mai Xiang didn't know her last name, so she kept calling her Mrs. Zhang Jia.

"My daughter-in-law heard my mother's laughter from a long distance away, so it turns out that my mother has a visitor here." Mrs. Zhang Jia laughed along with her.

Ula Duomin, who was beside Mai Xiang, saw the visitor, stood up and said with a smile, "Minmin has seen uncle and aunt."

"Just now I heard that Minmin is here, I still don't believe it, but I heard that today is the day for Xiaogege and Xiaobeizi to get the pox, how can Minmin have the time to go back to her mother's house? Could it be that there is no vaccination today?" Zhang Jia the lady asked.

"By the way, I forgot if you didn't mention this. What happened to my little great-grandson and great-granddaughter?"

"Okay, I didn't plant it today, Lord Belle said to wait a few days."

"It's fine if it's bigger. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you don't plant it first. When you have it again, you can plant it again."

When Mai Xiang heard it, the old lady was also worried that the child would not be able to pass this test. Uladomin only had this one son, and there was no backup insurance in case something happened.

After hearing this, Uladomin smiled and said, "Got it."

"Ah Gui, the little girl next to Min Min is the Mai Xiang that Mother told you about, she is A Muxin's god-sister, and she is also Min Min's god-sister." Come to think of it, I haven't introduced the two of them yet.

Mai Xiang didn't expect that the old lady would specially introduce them to the two. If Mai Xiang was a little surprised at the beginning that the old lady's enthusiasm for her was really to thank her for saving Uladomin's life, then at this moment, Mai Xiang saw When he arrived at Agui, the smart Mai Xiang guessed that some old ladies called her, and there must be other intentions.

"Mai Xiang greets the master." Mai Xiang bowed to A Gui, and simply glanced at him generously.

At this time, Agui was just in his early thirties, he was unsmiling and calm, and he was quite similar to Acton in this way, which made him look a little older than his actual age.

"You are Mai Xiang?" Agui's voice was a bit cold, and her eyes were also cold, staring at Mai Xiang, reminding Mai Xiang of Acton's eyes, and she couldn't help shivering.

These two men seem to have some evil spirits on them, Mai Xiang thought to himself.

Just as Mai Xiang finished talking about Acton, Acton also entered the door, and Mai Xiang's resentment was so deep.

"Okay, everyone is ready today, tell the maids to prepare meals, Mai Xiang is not an outsider, and she is still young, so come eat with us." The old lady got up to serve her husband when she saw her husband came back.

When she entered the flower hall, Mai Xiang saw a big round table in the hall, Mai Xiang sat between Ula Duomin and A Muxin, but she also happened to sit opposite to A Gui, this meal, Mai Xiang was a little confused Weird, thinking about what the old lady's purpose in calling me here is?

In fact, logically, with Zhang Jia's current status, the old lady shouldn't be so superstitious about the dreams of a ten-year-old child. The problem is that Mai Xiang doesn't know. All the wishes came true, and the wish made for Uradomin also came true, which could not but arouse the old lady's interest and vigilance.

After more inquiries, I found out that the reason why Mai Xiang became friends with Tong's family was because Mai Xiang sent a pair of wall shoes to Mrs. Tong, and Mrs. Tong hung the wall shoes in Mrs. Tong's room. Three days later, the illness improved. Not only Tong's family, but the old lady also found out about Wan's family. Isn't it because of Mai Xiang's blessing that Wan's family first regretted their marriage and wanted to get married?

If one or two is a coincidence, what can so many coincidences explain?The most unbelievable thing is that a ten-year-old girl dared to use scissors to deliver someone else's baby, and both mother and child were safe. Is this also a coincidence?
Of course, the old lady broke her head, and she never thought that Mai Xiang came from a descendant hundreds of years later. She thought that Mai Xiang was a lucky general, maybe a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva was reincarnated into the world, so he was blessed by Bodhisattva along the way.

This is the reason why Mai Xiang was able to be the guest of Zhang Jia's mansion.

It's just that Mai Xiang doesn't know.

After the meal, the old lady not only sent away her son, daughter-in-law and grandson, but also sent away the housemaids and A Muxin, and then let Mai Xiang sit beside her, and asked with a smile: "How is my son? looks like?"

Mai Xiang knew that the old man was asking her if the portrait of Agui that Mai Xiang saw was the same as the portrait in her dream. Mai Xiang smiled and said, "Master is very powerful even without official uniform."

The old lady understood as soon as she heard it, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not because of him that I called you here today. I heard from Minmin that something happened to you on the first day of the new year. Not only Guangminmin was frightened, but even We are also worried about you, child, please listen to our advice, this Reclining Buddha Temple, I would rather not go to it in the future."

The old lady didn't want Mai Xiang to go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha for a long time. The longer Mai Xiang lives in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the more people will miss Mai Xiang.

"No, that's what I mean too. When I heard the news from Madam Guan, my legs were so frightened that my legs went limp. I told her that I'm not allowed to go again." Uladomin said from the side .

"Understood, I really won't be going now, thank you Madam for caring." Mai Xiang said hastily.

"That's good, that's good, but child, I heard that you opened a restaurant outside your yard, how is the business? Is it enough to support the family?" the old lady continued to ask.

"It's okay, that's enough. The family still has some other income. My father raises a lot of things, including chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and rabbits. In addition, I also do some handicrafts."

"By the way, when it comes to manual work, I think of the toothbrush that you Tuo Minmin sent. It's really easy to use. It's much more comfortable than the ones I used before. I wonder how you came up with it. Do you still have it at home?"

"The handle of the toothbrush is ready, but it hasn't been dyed yet. The bristles can be sewn on after it is dyed."

"That's it, next time I do it, give us a hundred, and give you a tael of silver for a toothbrush." ​​The old lady said.

"Okay, do you want any style?" Mai Xiang asked.

"Still divided into styles?"

"Of course, adults have larger mouths, so their toothbrushes should naturally be larger; children's mouths are smaller, and their toothbrushes are relatively smaller. Also, adults are divided into males and females. These are all different. "

"Oh, let me just say, why do your brother-in-law's and mine's toothbrushes look different? This kid has such a clever idea, can you remember this?" Uladomin laughed.

"Oh, it's the first time my old lady knows that toothbrushes have so much knowledge after living to such an advanced age. No wonder it's different from the previous one. If it works, then I want some of everything, just to give it to someone."

"Understood, thank you, old lady, for taking care of my business." Mai Xiang knew that there were probably hundreds of toothbrush handles hoarded at home, and it happened that Li Ding could dye them when he came back. The income from this item was enough for his family to live for a year .

Coming out of the Bachelor's Mansion, Mai Xiang guessed that the person who kidnapped her should be someone from the Bachelor's Mansion, right?Otherwise, when Amu Xin said that the old lady wanted to see him, why did Yong En send Uladomin to follow?Also, the old lady kept caring about herself, why didn't she ask how she escaped?Did you suffer any crimes?

There was also that Agui, who didn't show any surprise when he saw him, but just stared at him for a few times, but didn't ask anything.

Mai Xiang thinks that Agui is the most likely to kidnap him, because that dream, whether he believes it or not, he does not want Mai Xiang to spread it. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, it may become a problem in his officialdom. Achilles' heel, that's why he wanted to put Mai Xiang to death.

And Yongen obviously found out about this, because the other party is Uradomin's uncle, so Yongen can only choose to remain silent.

Of course, all this is just Mai Xiang's conjecture, not to mention that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, Mai Xiang can't do anything to the other party, it will only make her die faster.
