Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 172
As soon as Mai Xiang saw Wu Fu, she guessed that something was wrong at home, because Wu Fu hurried back after sending Mai Xiang and Mrs. Li to the county palace yesterday, saying that the corn at home was about to be harvested and there was no delay.

"Uncle Wu, what's going on at home?" Mai Xiang asked first.

"It's like this. The Wan family sent Mrs. Shi to propose marriage. Your father wants you to go back quickly." After Wu Fu finished speaking, he looked at Huai Ci. He had seen Huai Ci come to pick up goods before, so he knew him.

Mai Xiang also looked at Huai Ci, Huai Ci said: "I really don't know about this, they didn't say anything when I came out yesterday. Actually, I'm here now, and I'm here to buy a few things to give to the Yue family as a gift of."

Mai Xiang frowned slightly when he heard that, Huai Ci meant that not only did he not know that his family would come to propose marriage, but also, according to him, his affairs had nothing to do with the Wan family, so who was the proposal for marriage? idea?It is necessary to let yourself rush back?Could it be that something happened to Wanjia again?
Mai Xiang just wanted to ask Huaici, but when she saw so many people there, she stopped again.

"Then let's go home quickly." Shi Li was already in a hurry.She has been here for a year, and she also knows that Mrs. Zhao is worthless.

"Miss Mai Xiang, our Fujin is still waiting at home." Sui Ping said hastily.

"I'll go back with you too, and it just so happens that I should also pay a formal visit to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Huai Ci said, and he guessed that something must have happened.

Mai Xiang and the others returned to the palace first, and Uladomin changed into the clothes she had gone out, and was talking with Madam Guan Wanyun Wanxia.

"Is my sister going out too?" Mai Xiang hurriedly asked when she saw several bundles on the kang when she entered the door.

"My sister is getting engaged, and my sister has to support her. Then you can't make fun of my sister for not being able to speak."

"Isn't it? Sister, are you really planning to go to my house?" Mai Xiang was stunned.

This is too condescending.

"Okay, keep your mouth shut, why can't sister come forward at such an important time?"

Uladomin originally planned to ask Nanny Guan to accompany Mai Xiang on this trip, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that it would not be enough for Nanny Guan to go, so it would be better for her to go there herself. Decide to kiss this time.She didn't want the Wan family to underestimate Mai Xiang, and of course she didn't want to wrong Mai Xiang.

"No, sister, my good sister, you will go to my house now, if you can't go back to the city at night, what will Xiao Gege and Xiao Beizi do?"

"If there is a nanny, besides, we should be able to come back in time, right? With your long-winded efforts, we are all out of the city gate, why not hurry up?" Uladomin pushed Mai Xiang to pack her things after finishing speaking.

But at this time, Ye Dafu was dissatisfied with this marriage because the Wan family came to propose marriage.

It turned out that this time when the Wan family came to propose marriage, there were no elders with them. They only sent Mrs. Shi, a matchmaker, and sixteen betrothal gifts. At that time, the whole Huangye Village was in a commotion.

Almost everyone is discussing, Mai Xiang has climbed to the top this time, just after getting married, she brought sixteen things to the door, how many good things will she get if she wants to get married?
The people in the old house naturally also got the news. Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun also followed the spectators to the gate of Ye's house.

"Old sister-in-law, look, our two families are really destined to meet again." Mrs. Shi laughed to herself when she saw Mrs. Liu.

"Second Aunt Shi, are you here?" Mrs. Zhao opened the door when she heard the noise, and her eyes lit up when she saw the betrothal gift box slipping outside the door.

"Why else? Of course, I was entrusted by Wan's family to come here to make a decision. Look, the first time I saw your girl, I knew she was blessed. As expected, tsk tsk, she is going to enter Wan's family to be a young mistress. You don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life.”

When Mrs. Zhao heard that the other party was coming to propose marriage, she hurriedly shouted excitedly into the courtyard: "The child's father, the child's father, the Wan family has come to make a decision."

Liu frowned.

After hearing this, Ye Dafu came out of the yard on a cane. When he saw Mrs. Shi, he first said hello, looked around, and didn't see the elders of the Wan family.

Mrs. Liu could also see it. The Wan family made it clear that they wanted to overwhelm others. Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Shi said, "Nephew, Mrs. Wan said that I want you to review the dowry first. If you have any dissatisfaction, please tell me." Mrs. Shi."

It turned out that the Wan family thought that this marriage was appointed by the emperor, it was a certainty, and the rest was just a formality, so Mrs. Wan and Wan Chengyao handed over this matter to Mrs. Wan to take full responsibility.

Mrs. Wan didn't like Mai Xiang in the first place. At first she thought that Mai Xiang was just a country girl with no background and knowledge. She felt that marrying Wan Zhiyuan would save her heart. But when she met Mai Xiang, She felt that Mai Xiang's words and deeds were full of cleverness, and Mai Xiang had some inexplicable connections, so Mrs. Wan didn't want Mai Xiang to enter Wan's house.

Unexpectedly, a marriage gift from the emperor came suddenly. Mrs. Wan also understood the reason for the marriage. It turned out that she was participating in a trial of vaccinia. The wife asked someone to find out that Mai Xiang also participated in the trial planting of vaccinia, probably because the two had been together for a period of time, so why is it that the county king is not good at explaining to Mai Xiang, a girl, so there is such a thing? Give marriage.

Mrs. Wan knows that this marriage cannot be withdrawn, but she is not willing to let Mai Xiang enter the door and think that she can rely on it with the imperial decree, so this happened, and the elders of the man's family did not show up.

Both Mrs. Liu and Ye Dafu guessed what Mrs. Wan was thinking. Ye Dafu would be in a dilemma. Accepting the betrothal gift means bowing to the Wan family. How to enter Wanjia in the future?
That's why Ye Dafu hastily sent Wu Fu to borrow the carriage from the village head's family to go to the city to pick up Mai Xiang.

He wanted to ask Mai Xiang's opinion, and wanted to ask what Mai Xiang wanted from Wanjia, because Ye Dafu knew how much Mai Xiang didn't want to enter Wanjia.Ye Dafu even made up his mind that if Mai Xiang is willing, he will fight against the Wan family, and let Huaici get out of the branch family, because, just as Mrs. Wan came out today, Mai Xiang entered the Wan family. Definitely can't discuss it well.

"Eldest nephew, what do you mean? We came all the way, and you didn't tell us to let us in for a drink, shouldn't we let us in for the betrothal gift?" Mrs. Shi didn't understand, why did Ye Dafu block it? No entry was allowed at the door, and even the gift list was not accepted.

"I'm sorry, we haven't made up our minds about today's matter, so please forgive me, auntie can come in and have a sit, let them watch those things outside." Ye Dafu knew that this was not the fault of Mrs. Shi.

"This?" Mrs. Shi also understood what was wrong, but this matter was explained by Mrs. Wan, she was just a errand.

"Nephew, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it, and I will personally send a message to the Wan family for you." Mrs. Shi thought for a while and said.

"I don't have anything to say, it's just that my daughter should have what others have. My daughter is not short of anything, and she is not inferior to others." Ye Dafu said.

"Well, nephew, I'll make a trip for you, and I'll make sure to pass on the word. As for what the Wan family means, I'm not sure." Mrs. Shi didn't dare to offend the Ye family. There is a grid.

After Mrs. Shi finished speaking, she didn't enter the door, but after a few words to the people outside, she left in a donkey cart, and Ye Dafu asked Mrs. Zhao to close the door after Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun entered.

"My son's father, what are you doing?" Mrs. Zhao didn't understand, why did she shut the door of those who came to deliver the dowry.

Mrs. Zhao has already seen the things sent by the other party just now, a pile of silk clothes and two sets of gold and silver jewelry, she has long been delighted from ear to ear, she has heard about the wealth of the Wan family, this time she A daughter can marry into the Wan family as a daughter-in-law. Although she is not the eldest daughter-in-law, the Wan family only has these two grandchildren. How can this family lose her daughter-in-law?In the future, won't she be able to follow the popular ones and drink spicy ones?

Theoretically, this year, Wula Duomin and A Muxin also donated clothes and food to Mai Xiang, but in Zhao's eyes, Gege and Fujin are too high and too far away, maybe they won't give them away when they are unhappy. Just like Wan's family, in the first few years, Wan's family always sent people to deliver things to Ye Tiezhu, but didn't they stay away for many years later?
So, no matter what other people say, it’s not as good as what I have. This Mai Xiang is going to marry into the Wan family and become the official daughter-in-law of the Wan family. How can the Wan family lose Mai Xiang?

So, for this marriage, Mrs. Zhao is very willing, how about being resigned by the Wan family?Isn't your Wanjia obediently coming to propose marriage?What does this mean? It means that your family lost.

Zhao's logic is different from that of ordinary people.

Ye Dafu glared at Mrs. Zhao, and was about to speak when Mrs. Qian spoke first.

"That's right, big brother, this Wan family gave away a full sixteen loads of things as soon as they got married. These clothes are all made of silk. Not only do they have a set of silver hair, but also a set of gold. Tsk tsk, it's worth it." How much money, we have never seen so many good things in our life, what is there to be dissatisfied with?" Qian Shi also asked.

"It's different. For the Wan family, this stuff is really not a good thing. Also, the Wan family didn't even have an elder to show up, so it's really unreasonable. This is a marriage negotiation between two families, not a wedding. Little wife." Mrs. Sun shook her head and said.

She has already figured it out secretly. Although there are sixteen liters of things from the Wan family, there are no serious valuables. The sum of them is not even as valuable as the bracelet that Mrs. Wan gave Jiufeng last time. What puzzled Mrs. Wan, isn't Mrs. Wan very rare about Maixiang?I have always wanted to marry Mai Xiang, but why did I back off at this juncture?

Ye Dafu didn't look at what was sent, but Mrs. Sun was always shrewd. Mrs. Sun said that these things were worthless, and they must be worthless. In addition, Mrs. Sun said that he would marry a concubine, which made Ye Dafu feel that the Wan family was not sincere. up.
