Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 175 The Lobbyist
When Uladomin heard what Mrs. Wan said, she was a tricky one. Otherwise, Huai Ci would not come out to beg for a living at a young age. The situation of Wan's family is different from that of Ye's family. Wan's family is a big family in Changhe Town.

Although the concubine and the concubine are incomparable, there are still relatively few concubines who are as different as the Wan family. Uladomin can guess Huaici's status in the Wan family without asking. Under such conditions, this wheat Xiang is going to marry, why not wait to be cleaned up and tossed?

Thinking of this, Uladomin is not very satisfied with this marriage, and blames Yong En for his impatience. The current situation seems to be a bit difficult for Mai Xiang.

"Mrs. Wan, it's your fault. Most of the child's angry words can't be taken seriously. You are also a mother. I heard that your son is a few months older than Ci brother. Do you think your son If he is thrown out and ignored, can he support himself? Not much to say, he is like a brother-in-law. I want to see how he can support himself after being thrown out for a year." Uladomin thought for a while , said.

"Madam's idea is still good, let's do it like this, I will send someone to do it later." Yong En said.

"It's my concubine who is confused, so I ask the prince and Fujin to forgive me. My son has never suffered since he was a child. He has been studying in the academy, so I ask Fujin and the prince to spare him. Please don't worry, Fujin, our Wan family will start buying Brother Yuan now." I promise to take care of things for my son's marriage, please let me know if Fujin has any other requirements." Mrs. Wan was so frightened that she quickly kowtowed to admit her mistake.

"What can I ask for? It's not that my younger sister can't afford to support myself, nor can we afford the dowry money. It's obvious that my younger sister wants to covet this little thing from your Wan family." Uladomin said from night Yun took a sip of tea in his hand and said slowly.

Just as Mrs. Wan was about to speak, Yong En's entourage shouted outside: "Go back to your lord, Lord Wan, please see me."

Yong En glanced at Uladomin, and Uladomin said: "Sister, let's go inside and talk."

Mai Xiang knew that Uladomin was not good at seeing outsiders, so she led her into the next room. The next room was a guest room, which was also a large kang. Mai Xiang and Uladomin sat on the kang, listening to the movement outside.

"Honorable Wan Chengyao pays homage to Prince Gong." Wan Chengyao saw his mother, wife and son kneeling on the ground outside the door. Although he didn't understand what happened, he knew that he must have offended the prince, so he had to Then he knelt down.

"I heard that your Wan family is dissatisfied with this marriage, and only sent a matchmaker to come to discuss the marriage. This is a gift list from your Wan family. I want to hear what you think. If you are really dissatisfied, this matter is fine." Do it, tomorrow the king will enter the palace to face the saint, and beg the saint for mercy, anyway, it is not the first time that my sister has been divorced by your Wan family." Yongen sat on the kang and threw the gift list at Wan Chengyao's feet .

Wan Chengyao picked up the gift list, looked down, didn't care who to blame, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to the lord, our Wan family can't wait for this marriage, especially the mother of the lower official, who came to the Ye family to ask for it." Begging again, I am absolutely not dissatisfied. As for the gift list, the servant must have made a mistake, I heard from my wife that there is still 1000 taels of gift money, so that Miss Mai Xiang can buy some things she likes by herself."

"That's right, the concubine has indeed prepared a gift of 1000 taels." After Mrs. Wan finished speaking, she turned and asked the woman next to her, "Where's the bank note I asked you to bring?"

The old woman knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your maidservant deserves to die, but my maidservant forgot to bring it, so I will go get it now."

"I'm not in a hurry at this moment. This marriage has not been settled yet. Just now, this king heard that your son has already divided the household, and he left the household completely. What's going on?" Yong En naturally knew that the other party was just In acting.

"If you go back to the prince, this is absolutely impossible. The official only has two sons, how could he let him go out of the house?"

Wan Chengyao finally knew where the crux of the problem was, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The Daredevil Family came to support the two children today.

Hearing this, Mai Xiang inside was a little tangled, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, is this okay? I heard what Huai Ci said, and he doesn't want his family's money. He wants to prove that he can live without the Wan family." Very well."

Uladomin gritted his teeth and poked Mai Xiang's forehead, and said, "What a pair of idiots, the reason she did this is to drive Huai Ci out so that she can give all the property to her own son , you did this, didn't you just fulfill her heart? Now we don't let her get what she wants, let's see who will be distressed and who will be uncomfortable?"

"That's right, we can't take advantage of them." When Mai Xiang thought of Mrs. Wan's harm to Huai Ci, the root of Mai Xiang's teeth itch, Huai Ci should have a share of this money, why not?
Mai Xiang was talking to Uradomin here, and Wan Chengyao also made a promise to Yong En outside, and officially picked a good day to make a decision after returning. In addition, the Wan family will not separate the family for the time being, and the Wan family will give Huaici 2000 taels of silver first. Buy a home in Beijing.

This marriage has been negotiated in this way for the time being. As for the matter of getting married, because the day of getting married is still far away, we can't discuss it for the time being.

Four days later, on August 1000th, the Wan family officially came to make a decision. This time, Wan Chengyao and Mrs. Wan came to the door in person. Although the betrothal gift was still [-] liters, there were a lot more things. There are six sets prepared for the head and face, gold, silver, jade, agate, and a pair of solid dragon and phoenix gold bracelets. The four seasons are also much better than the previous ones. In addition to silk, there are also a few bolts of brocade. In addition, there is a gift of [-] taels .

Others are okay, but Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Qian, and Mrs. Sun stared at these things, and their eyeballs were about to fall out. Under Ye Dafu's interference, these things were locked into a box in the warehouse and left directly. In the future, he will give Mai Xiang a dowry.

"Father, I have something to tell you." After a few days of fuss, Mai Xiang remembered that there was still one important thing to do.

"Girl, what's the matter?" Ye Dafu no longer trusts and relies on Mai Xiang as usual.

Mai Xiang first talked about Li's situation, "Father, I mean, you are the eldest son, and it is only natural for you to raise grandpa and nanny, so I want grandpa and nanny to live with us."

"Your fifth uncle asked you to talk about this?" Ye Dafu thought it was Wu Fu's idea, and was a little unhappy.

"Father, I haven't told anyone about this yet. That's what I think. With such a big yard at home, and we have invited servants, we don't need to do things by ourselves. Our family is not short of food. Our family's life is definitely getting better and better. However, if grandpa and grandma still live in the old house, and they are not willing to eat even a little grain, outsiders will know, and it will not be good for our reputation. Wouldn't it be better for Mammy to take over, not only fulfilling Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, but also fulfilling Daddy's reputation?"

Only then did Ye Dafu understand what Mai Xiang meant, he patted Mai Xiang's head, and said, "My child, you are really a good daughter for my father. It is a blessing that my father has cultivated for several lifetimes to have a daughter like you."

"Then, Dad should discuss this matter with Grandpa and Mammy first, and let Mammy return the money that Uncle Wu earned to Uncle Wu, so that Uncle Wu can build a new house by himself."

Mai Xiang wants to be a good person to the end, because the shop has hired someone, and the Wufu couple will not make much sense if they stay.

Unexpectedly, after Ye Dafu found Liu Shi and Ye Tiezhu, Liu Shi refused to agree to separate the Wu Fu couple.Because in the current situation, she is still the head of the family, and the five blessings and the eight blessings are earned a lot of money, and all the money is handed over to her.She can also secretly save some private money for Jiufeng as a dowry, but if she enters Mai Xiang's house and is raised by Mai Xiang, no matter what she does, she will depend on Mai Xiang and Zhao's face, where is there any chance? Are you comfortable these days?

Mai Xiang is a little embarrassed, she can't hire someone for Liu, can she?The marriage of the eight blessings is still far away, when will Mrs. Li survive?

On this day, Mai Xiang looked through the account books for the past year, and after thinking for a while, she walked into the old house at dinner time.

"Mai Xiang, why don't you come over here when you have time today?"

Seeing Mai Xiang, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun rushed out to welcome him. In the past half a year, Er Fu and San Fu have made a lot of money by making kites and toothbrush handles with Mai Xiang. At least, they have enough food and clothing. There is still a distance.

"I'll take a look at Grandpa and Mammy." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she shared a few pieces of candy with Mai Zhong.

After knowing Huai Ci's life experience, Mai Xiang was more tolerant towards the Ye family members. Compared to them, both the Qian family and the Sun family were just a little calculating, and they were forced by life, not real villains.

Mrs. Liu heard the movement in the room, and obviously knew why Mai Xiang came, so she pretended to have a headache and leaned her forehead against the wall.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?" Shi Li was the first to notice Liu Shi's strangeness.

Mai Xiang heard it from outside the door, and hurried in, seeing Liu's half-eaten bowls and chopsticks, Mai Xiang smiled.

"Fifth Aunt, Mammy doesn't want to eat, so pack up everything. I'll accompany Mammy to have a conversation with Grandpa."

"This?" Li Shi didn't dare to listen to Mai Xiang, she looked at Liu Shi, and seeing that Liu Shi didn't speak, she didn't dare to move.

Mai Xiang sighed when she saw this, and lived like a little rabbit like this all day long, so it's no wonder she got pregnant?

"Uncle Wu, take Aunt Wu out, and old aunt, you can go to my house and find Mai Huang to play with." Mai Xiang didn't want Jiu Feng to stay.

Wu Fu didn't know what Mai Xiang was going to say, but he guessed that what Mai Xiang was talking about must be a big deal, so he dragged Mrs. Li up, quickly tidied up the things on the kang table, and closed the door behind him before leaving. up.

Er Fu and San Fu knew that Mai Xiang was coming, and they were about to talk to Mai Xiang. Seeing Wu Fu like this, they hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, what happened?"

Wu Fu shook her head, Li Shi suddenly thought of something, held Wu Fu's hand, trembling all the time, she was worried that Mai Xiang would find the old lady because the doctor told her that she was barren, if so, she would definitely be divorced and returned to her natal family.

Seeing Li shivering, Wu Fu thought she was cold, and quickly helped her back to the room. Not long after, Li's suppressed crying came from the room.
