Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 171 Family and Relatives

Mai Xiang thought for a long time, this business should be able to make money, the reason why she pulls Uradomin and Amusin, one is to repay them, and the other is that she does not have the ability to support such a big stall by herself. With the backing of a county king and a Lord Baylor, no one dared to make any decisions about this business.

"Brothers-in-law, let me agree. I will make pictures and invest in technology. The two of you will find someone to do the specific work. I will take [-]% of the shares, and each of you will take [-]% of the shares." Mai Xiang said.

"No, without these pictures, we wouldn't be able to think of doing this. Why don't you take [-]% and the two of us [-]%." Yong En said hastily, he can no longer take advantage of Mai Xiang.

"Listen to me, I'm investing in dry stocks. I'm only in charge of painting. I don't understand anything else, and I don't participate in it. I just wait for the money. The two achievements are good. Besides, my expenses are not as good as yours. The two are big." Mai Xiang said.

Mai Xiang guessed that after Amu Xin got married, she might not be able to have a good life, because Baylor, who was just conferred by Hong Rong, was separated from Prince Zhuang's mansion. They are all at home, and there are not many who can give to Hong Rong, and Hong Rong and A Muxin are not very old, and neither of them is the kind of person who is proficient in common affairs, so Mai Xiang wants to help them .

"Mai Xiang still accounts for [-]% of the time. My sister can always have wonderful ideas. I have long wanted to pull my sister to do something, but I didn't expect my sister to take the lead. This sister really did not recognize her in vain." Amu Xin stepped forward and hugged her. Live in Maixiang.

Upon hearing this, Uladomin's eyes turned red, and he said, "It's not just that I didn't admit it in vain, this sister is so good, I won't be able to figure it out in my life."

"Sister, you are here again."

"Well, cousin, is there something I don't know?" Amu Xin sensitively noticed something strange.

"Second sister, what's the difference? By the way, I brought some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for you and your mother. Sorry, there is nothing to sell in the countryside." Mai Xiang smiled.

Hearing this, Hong Rong felt that Mai Xiang was interrupting him, and he looked at Yong En again. He always felt that the cowpox incident should be Mai Xiang's idea, otherwise, Yong En, a child of a family, might have never seen cowpox before. How could people think of inoculating vaccinia on humans?

"Okay, let's go to dinner, it's rare for us to get together again, why don't I send someone to fetch Huai Ci, it's just the six of us." Yong En said.

Today's Yong En, because of Mai Xiang, is determined not to underestimate Huai Ci, not to mention, in Yong En's eyes, Huai Ci also has his merits. To make money, moreover, he is very business minded, Yong En thinks he will be prosperous sooner or later.

"I went there just now, and there was no one in the shop." Mai Xiang was in a hurry and forgot to hide.

"Oh, it turns out that you didn't come to the capital to see your sister, and it turned out that the female university was not accepted." Uladomin joked.

"Who said that, of course I came to see my sister, and I will send him some goods." Mai Xiang's face turned red.

"If I had known this before, I should have told the emperor to let you get married two years earlier." Yong En said with a smile and ordered his servants to pick him up.

"That can't be done, he has no ability, he can't even try to marry my sister." Amusin said and winked at Mai Xiang.

Hearing this, Hong Rong smiled and said, "It's true that you can't take advantage of that kid."

"What good idea do you have?" A Mu Xin asked.

"Okay, you two still have to think about something serious. Where should this porcelain factory be located? Hong Rong, you are in charge of finding someone to collect a few masters of porcelain making and firing from the people. I will find the rest from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A few people helped to set up the shelf first." Yong En couldn't see Mai Xiang being embarrassed.

While chatting and laughing, the person Yong En sent back said that Huai Ci was not in the shop, nor in the small courtyard.

"Could it be that he didn't come back when he went home to receive the imperial edict yesterday?" Yong En said.

"He also received the imperial edict?" Mai Xiang asked.

"What a silly girl. Marriage is a matter between two people. Do you think it's okay for the emperor to talk to you alone? By the way, he also has a reward of 1000 taels of silver." Yong En said.

"Isn't his family going to Mai Xiang's house to propose marriage today?" Uladomin asked.

Because Mai Xiang told her that the old lady Wan had always hoped that Mai Xiang would marry into Wan's family. The emperor bestowed a marriage on her, so she would definitely leave the scene while the iron was hot.

"Huh?" Mai Xiang was stunned.

"Ah what, there will be a day sooner or later, but I just don't know how much sincerity Wanjia can show?" Ula Duomin gave Mai Xiang a white look.

In fact, according to Uradomin, she is not very satisfied with Huai Ci, not to mention the concubine, who has no status at home, and was kicked out by her family at a young age to beg for a living, if it weren't for the 1000 taels granted by the emperor Yinzi, when will this hard life end?

"I heard that Wan's family is a big family in Changhe Town. My sister can't agree to something missing." Amu Xin joked aside.

In fact, Huai Ci at this time was really not urging the Wan family to go to the Ye family to propose marriage, but urging the family members to divide his household registration, because he was afraid of long nights and dreams, he was really scared.

This time when Huai Ci came out from Wan's family, Huai Ci didn't ask for money from Wan's family, but asked Feng Xiang, the boy who grew up with him.

Feng Xiang is an orphan, he has been Huai Ci's entourage since he was a child, so naturally he doesn't like Mrs. Wan, Huai Ci was kicked out before, and it was a problem to support himself, so how could he be taken care of?What's more, Mrs. Wan held his contract of sale in the hands of Mrs. Wan.

When Huai Ci completed the household separation procedures and brought Feng Xiang to Beijing, it was already dark, and he didn't even know that Mai Xiang had already come to the city to look for him.

On the second day Huaici arrived in the capital, he took the money to the dental shop. He wanted to buy a second yard. Now that there were servants at home, when Mai Xiang came back, he would definitely not be able to live in the same room with him, so he I'm going to buy a bigger yard. In addition, this yard should be closer to Uladomin, so that it will be convenient for Mai Xiang to visit in the future.

When Huai Ci was looking for a house all over the street, Mai Xiang was taking Li Shi to wander around Qianmen Street, mainly to accompany her to relax, because the doctor came to the mansion early in the morning to check Li Shi's pulse, saying that Li Shi was depressed, and it was not easy to have a heart attack. pregnant.

"Fifth Aunt, there are many kinds of fabric shops here, I'll take you to have a look, and I'll give you what you like."

"Don't spend this money, I am a country woman, how can I use these new clothes?" Li Shi hurriedly waved her hand, Mai Xiang had already given her a silver hairpin and a pair of silver bracelets last time, she is not a greedy person What she wants now is a child.

"Fifth Aunt, don't be afraid. If the mother wants to ask, she will say that I gave it to you. If this woman doesn't treat herself better, it will be difficult to point out others to treat you well. Also, if this person dresses better , and the mood will also improve."

"Mai Xiang, fifth aunt knows what you said is true, but fifth aunt really doesn't want it." As a daughter-in-law, Li knows the difficulties of being a daughter-in-law, and this kind of difficulty is not something that Mai Xiang can understand.

Mai Xiang sighed, she had a plan in mind, but this matter was not done, she couldn't tell Li Shi first, for fear that Li Shi would be even more disappointed then.

"Let's go, I'll buy you two printed cloths." Mai Xiang dragged Mrs. Li into the cloth shop regardless of 21.

"It's better to pick one for your fifth uncle, and I'll forget it." Li still missed her husband.

Mai Xiang didn't listen to her, and took her to pick out a few bolts of brightly colored cotton cloth, intending to make winter padded jackets for the family. Before leaving, she saw Li stroking an ordinary bolt of blue cotton cloth with her hands. Xiang secretly laughed and asked the man to take two horses.

"Not so much." Seeing that Mai Xiang had spent more than two taels of silver for a while, Mrs. Li became anxious.

"Not only Fifth Uncle, but my father and the others should also make padded jackets."

Mai Xiang really thought of making clothes for everyone in the family. Of course, Mai Xiang is only responsible for buying cloth, and this job is going to be done for Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao is like pickling vegetables every day, so Mai Xiang plans to find something for her to do within her capacity. .

After coming out of the cloth shop, Mai Xiang still drags Li Shi to go shopping again, Li Shi misses her family and wants to go home no matter what.

"Your grandfather and Uncle Wu are both harvesting corn, so I have to go home and help them," said Li.

"Fifth Aunt, it's so easy to come out. I'll take you around the capital. If you're tired, I'll take you to a restaurant."

"We don't want to waste the money, everything in the capital is expensive."

"Who said that? I have..." Before Mai Xiang finished speaking, she saw Huai Ci, followed by a person, Mai Xiang seemed to be familiar, and after careful identification, she recognized Huai Ci boy.

"Why are you here?" Huai Ci also saw Mai Xiang, and ran over a few steps.

"I still want to ask you, why don't you do business again today?"

As soon as Huai Ci heard this, he knew that Mai Xiang must have gone to the shop to look for him, and suddenly his eyes and brows were smiling, and he looked at Mai Xiang and said, "I'll talk about this later. I was planning to buy two things here, and then I'm going to find you at your house."
"Find me?"

"It's like this, I want to go to your house to give a boxing gift, and I still owe you an engagement gift. I picked you up because we are going to buy a house. I have already looked at a few yards and I am waiting for you to get them Got an idea."

"You bought a house, and asked me what to get..." Before Mai Xiang finished speaking, it suddenly occurred to him that the two were an unmarried couple, Huai Ci must hope that the house he bought would satisfy Mai Xiang, and what he said was "we I want to buy a house" is not "I want to buy a house." It can be seen that he really regards Mai Xiang as his family and relatives.

"Sister, who is this?" Huai Ci was about to say a few small words when he suddenly saw Mrs. Li standing beside him.

"This is my fifth aunt, fifth aunt, come on, he is Huaici, the person mentioned in the imperial decree."

Mai Xiang was embarrassed to say the word fiance, the people in front of her were all pure ancients after all.

Just as Mai Xiang finished speaking, Yong En's servant Suiping accompanied Wu Fu to find him.
