Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 166
Mai Xiang and Huai Ci cried for a while, and they sat down to discuss things. Mai Xiang felt that she was still young, so she was not in a hurry to propose marriage.

As for Huaici's psychological barrier, it cannot be corrected in a day or two, it can only be given to time.In this regard, Huai Ci is still a little confident, because he no longer dislikes Mai Xiang's physical contact.

Of course, it's just not disgusting.

"Brother, do you still want to study?" Mai Xiang asked suddenly, since Huai Ci likes to study and wants to get ahead, Mai Xiang wanted to give him a push.

"Study? Don't study anymore. I want to settle down first, buy some properties, and buy a yard."

"I have 200 taels of silver in my hand, how about first..."

Before Mai Xiang finished speaking, Huai Ci covered Mai Xiang's mouth with her hand, "This is absolutely not possible, I already feel sorry for my sister, is it true that my sister really wants to make me feel ashamed?"

When Mai Xiang saw him change color, thinking of his experiences, he is now extremely inferior and fragile, and basically on the verge of collapse. If Mai Xiang deprives him of the right to self-struggle, he may not be able to identify with himself in this lifetime.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, the more my brother earns, the better. I will wait for my brother to support me in the future." Mai Xiang smiled.

Huai Ci looked at Mai Xiang's smiling face like a flower, and stretched out his hand to touch Mai Xiang's head.

Early the next morning, Mai Xiang woke up from Huaici's kang again, and soon found that there was another jade pendant around her neck, this time, there was only one piece.

Seeing that Mai Xiang was holding the jade pendant to look at it, Huai Ci blushed a little, and explained eagerly, "I think it's a pity to keep this jade pendant for nothing, and I'm afraid of losing it."

"Really? Then why did you give away one piece this time?" Seeing him blushing, Mai Xiang asked intentionally.

"This, this, doesn't my sister dislike me giving away two yuan?" Huai Ci still didn't have the courage to say anything else.

"Then is this called giving and receiving in private?" Seeing that Huai Ci's face was blushing, Mai Xiang asked again deliberately.

She is a modern person in her bones, and of course she doesn't mind giving and receiving privately when facing the person she likes.

"This, this..." Huaici murmured.

Mai Xiang smiled, didn't force him any more, and put the jade pendant into her collar.

"Does my sister like it?" Huai Ci suddenly felt happy when he saw it, and his expression immediately became much more at ease.

Mai Xiang glared at him and said with a smile, "Why, what do you want to hear?"

"I like to listen to whatever my sister says. When I look at my sister, I feel very happy in my heart. I feel that I have something to rely on, and I have a future." Huai Ci said seriously.

Mai Xiang never thought that he would use such a rational voice to utter such emotional sweet words, but she was a little stunned for a while, and the joy and sweetness of love slowly overflowed.

Back home, Mai Xiang took Huaici to meet her parents because she wanted to give Huaici more warmth and confidence.

"Father, mother, I'm back. I have something to tell you." When Mai Xiang entered the door, she happened to see Ye Dafu and Mrs. Zhao watching Mai Di learn to walk from the front porch.

Because she was afraid that her family would be worried, Mai Xiang didn't tell her parents that she went out these two times to get vaccinated, but she went out under the pretext of taking care of Uladomin for a few days.

"My eldest daughter is back, and my mother said that the water in this city is different. My eldest daughter has been away for half a month, and she is much cleaner than at home." Zhao Shi hurriedly came over when she saw Mai Xiang.

In her eyes, the daughter is getting more and more capable. Not only can the family live a decent life, but she can also be married to Gege and Fujin in the city. In the whole Huangye Village, her Zhao family is now Walked sideways.

"Okay, let's ask my daughter what's the matter first? Who is this?" Maiye Dafu saw that his wife didn't ask the point, so he interrupted her.

"Father, mother, this is Huai Ci, a friend of my daughter. The thing is this, I went to the capital this time, and I actually went to vaccinate. I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't dare to tell you that I have nothing to do now. I begged Lord Baylor and Fujin to plant the Maihuangs as well, and I will take them there today."

"What kind of acne?" Mrs. Zhao didn't understand.

"It is to prevent smallpox, so the nobles in the city will vaccinate in advance, so that the toxicity of smallpox will be weakened, and they will not get smallpox after it is cured." Mai Xiang explained.

"I've heard of this. I heard that some people will wear the clothes of people who have had smallpox. This is also considered as vaccination, but my girl, looking at your face, it doesn't look like you have had smallpox?" Ye Dafu somewhat understands, he also heard others talk about it when he was a soldier in the banner.

"Father, this is exactly what I want to tell you. Today's vaccination is better than before. It can be prevented without having acne at all. I was also told by Fujin, so I asked him for a favor, mother." , my friend is here to help me pick up people, you take them to find Maihuang, I will go to Mr.'s house, Dad, you go to the old house, take the wheat seeds with you, Today, the doctor of Lord Baylor's family is just outside the city, and there will be no such shop after this village."

The reason why Mai Xiang didn't choose to tell the truth was because most of the truth was not believed, and she didn't have the time to explain it to everyone.

Ye Dafu heard that there was such a good thing, but he didn't think too much about it. None of the Ye family's children had acne, and he was really concerned about it. Now that he heard this, is there any reason not to follow it?
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao also said after hearing this: "Big girl, why don't you let your grandma's family get those acne too? Your uncle's first child died because of smallpox, and your aunt's family, It’s also because of smallpox that you lost your first child, so the few of you haven’t been born yet.”

Mrs. Zhao finally understood what it meant to come over. Hearing that Mai Xiang could take the Ye family, she wanted the Zhao family to borrow money as well.

"Mother, there are too many people today, I'll discuss it later with my grandma's family and ask my grandma's family to go there a day or two later." Mai Xiang was worried that she would be too busy, and she didn't know if there was so much pus .

"Hey, that's it, I'll tell you to talk to my cousin." Zhao went to deliver the letter happily, and Mai Xiang asked Huaici to follow her to pick up the person.

Afterwards, Mai Xiang abducted Cao Xueqin's home.

Li Xiangyun and her parents still lived in Cao's house after all. It seems that this Cao Xueqin is not immune. Just like people in this era, polygamy is simply a very common thing. What's more, that person grew up together. His eldest cousin, he couldn't leave her behind.

Of course, this was just Mai Xiang's idea. After Li Xiangyun came, Liu Huilan only said that Li Xiangyun was a cousin of her husband's family and lived in Cao's house with her parents.

But this Li Xiangyun is not a frivolous and lazy person. Since she came, she has been helping Liu Huilan with housework, doing needlework and sewing toothbrushes together. Only then did Mai Xiang know that Li Xiangyun's needlework is better than Liu Huilan's .

"Grandpa, is sir at home?" Mai Xiang went in and saw Li Ding playing in the yard with the child.

"Your mistress is here, sir is out."

Mai Xiang entered the house, and when she passed the living room, she caught a glimpse of Li Xiangyun copying something on the kang table, so she turned around first.

"What is Auntie up to?" Mai Xiang didn't dare to approach her, but only greeted her at the door.

During this period of time, he was busy with vaccinations, so his visits to Cao's house were obviously much less, and he didn't get to know Li Xiangyun very well.

"It's Mai Xiang? A few days ago, your husband and wife were talking about what you've been up to these days, and there's no sign of you."

At this time, Liu Huilan on the opposite side heard the movement and hurriedly yelled in the room, so Mai Xiang had to do business first.

"Master, where has my husband gone?" Mai Xiang guessed that Liu Huilan could not decide on such a big matter.

"What's the matter in the flag camp, let's go out."

"Then when will you be back?"

"It seems like a few days."

Mai Xiang was relieved when she heard that, Liu Huilan was better at fooling around since Cao Xueqin was not there.

"Miss, that's the thing. I haven't been at home these days, I just went out to vaccinate. Lord Baylor was going to vaccinate his child. Fujin thought of me and took me in. I just came back after the vaccination. Fujin knew my family There are also a lot of younger brothers and sisters who are extra merciful and hired a doctor to vaccinate these poor relatives of my family, which can be counted as accumulating blessings for her children."

"Is there such a good thing?" Wife Li stood behind Mai Xiang at some point.

Mai Xiang knew that these people were all from rich families, so she understood better, so she didn't want to be fooled. After hearing this, she hurriedly said: "Fu Jin only gave birth to a pair of twins after five years of marriage, and because the mother and child are all safe, it is an exception. The empress dowager and the emperor conferred Beizi and Gege, so Fujin discussed with Lord Beile to accumulate some blessings for the children, I don't know anything else."

"That's it, Hui Lan, since you say that, you can take the child with you. Vaccination is better than no vaccination." Li's wife said.

"According to me, it's better not to go. This kind of acne is also dangerous. Let's talk about it when Zhan'er comes back." Li Ding also heard the conversation inside, and said after entering the door.

"But Grandpa, I just finished planting it, and nothing happened. Now people have a new method of vaccination, which is to plant it on the hands, and it will not cover the whole body. This is what Baylor learned from somewhere. My wheat yellow A few of them, including wheat fields, will be sent over at this time."

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she specially let Li's wife and Liu Huilan enter the inner room to look at the scar on Mai Xiang's arm.

"It's really after vaccination?" Li's wife didn't seem to believe it.

"Nurse, what did I lie to you for? It's just that when the pimples first appeared, they had a fever for one day. I heard that some people had it for two days. After the pimples came out, it was nothing serious. You should eat and play."

Liu Huilan was a little moved when she heard this, she still had a lot of trust in Mai Xiang, but Li Ding refused to agree, because the child was still young and Cao Xueqin was not at home and refused.

"Sister-in-law, if you want me to tell you, let me listen to my father." Li Xiangyun also came over to persuade him.

Seeing that Mai Xiang couldn't persuade her, she could only say: "Master, then wait until Maidi comes back after planting the pox, and then you can watch."

"It's so good." Li Ding said hurriedly.

Mai Xiang returned without success, but Ye Dafu went smoothly. Ignorant people are easy to fool. Ye Dafu quickly moved Liu, Qian and Sun with Mai Xiang's rhetoric. Let Sanfu pull them away with Huai Ci.
