Chapter 184 Granny Wan's Position

"Hey, my eldest daughter is back, mother, take a look, she's been in the capital for a few days, doesn't she look much better?"

When Mai Xiang entered the door, Mrs. Zhao was talking with Mrs. Yu in the yard.

Seeing Mai Xiang getting off the car, the two happily stepped forward and took Mai Xiang's hand, asking questions, but they kept watching the boy carrying things down.

When Mai Xiang came home this time, Uladomin gave her another cartload of things, because she knew that Mai Xiang would definitely not want to give money, so she would buy everything she could use for food and clothing. Loaded Mai Xiang into the car.

"When did grandma come?" Mai Xiang didn't expect Mrs. Yu to be there.

"I just came here yesterday. When I heard that my granddaughter is getting better, my grandma came to visit. Your uncle also said that she didn't see you on February [-]. She asked you to stay with your mother for a few days when you have time." Yu Shi laughed.

"Ye Zi, put these burdens on my kang." Mai Xiang saw Ye Zi get the burdens from the car, and confessed.

"Let me come, I happen to open my eyes to these good things." After finishing speaking, Yu stepped forward to take two packages.

"Auntie, Mrs. Wan is here and she was talking to my mother in the room. She seemed to be talking about Huai Ci's study." Jiufeng saw it in the room, and hurried out and whispered something to Mai Xiang.

The rabbit fur that Mai Xiang gave her last year, Mrs. Liu made her a silk coat after all. Jiufeng was so beautiful, so, for Mai Xiang, Jiufeng also wanted to please Maixiang, and came here to report it first. a letter.

As soon as Jiufeng finished speaking, Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Liu came out.

"Mai Xiang, I heard that you are recovering. Come on, Madam Wan has a look. You have lost a lot of weight. If there is anything you want to eat, Madam Wan will find it for you." Madam Wan took Mai Xiang's hand , said.

"This is really unnecessary, thank you Madam Wan for thinking about it." Mai Xiang hurriedly refused.

"Your mother Wan came here today and brought you a few big fish, all of which are alive and kicking, and they are the first batch of river fish just opened." Liu said with a smile on the side.

"Mother, what Fujin sent someone to deliver a few days ago was also the first fresh river fish from Kaifeng." Mrs. Zhao said from the side. Come on, she really didn't pay attention to those few fish from the Wan family.

"Mother, Fujin's wishes are Fujin's wishes, and Madam Wan's wishes are Madam Wan's wishes." Mai Xiang stopped Zhao.

Since she is destined to marry into the Wan family, Mai Xiang doesn't want to make enemies everywhere, and Mrs. Wan must be the first person she wants to win over. Otherwise, she alone is not capable of fighting Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Wan. Go, I'm afraid there is another Kangyi.

"Thank you Madam Wan, Madam Wan stayed here, and I will make a fish dish for Madam Wan myself later." Mai Xiang learned a fish fillet dish from Granny Liu, which is just suitable for the elderly.

"Really? Then I really want to stay and have a taste." Granny Wan took advantage of the situation and agreed.

Seeing that Mai Xiang arranged the contents of the cart in an orderly manner, Mrs. Wan became more and more satisfied the more she looked at it. She not only knows how to make money, but also has a lively mind. Well, if this Wanjia falls into Mai Xiang's hands, it will definitely be more prosperous.

It's a pity that her son didn't like it, so she had to withdraw Mai Xiang. No, this time, with such a strong backer, Yong En was named a prince. Wan Chengyao knew it, and the Wan family naturally knew it too. up.

At this time, Mrs. Wan completely forgot that she was also the No.1 one who actively agreed to divorce.

Speaking of this resignation, Mrs. Wan felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of her grandson's words, and she also realized that Mai Xiang had known who she was a long time ago, and she managed to hide it from her so hard that she could still have a smile on her face. To please her with a smile, this girl's scheming is really not ordinary.

But having said that, this girl is really a person who can do great things, otherwise, in just one year, she can build such a big yard, open a shop, and win over the prince and Fujin, This is by no means an easy one.

The old lady Wan looked at Mai Xiang with mixed joy and worry. She was happy because Mai Xiang had entered the Wan family after all, and didn't take advantage of others, but she was worried because she didn't tell her grandson.

Mai Xiang didn't know what Mrs. Wan was thinking. She was busy putting things away, and then told Ye Zi her mother-in-law Tian some dishes to cook, and then returned to her room and sat for so long. Carriage, she is also a little tired and wants to lie down for a while.

"Girl, this one is good, this one is more festive." As soon as Mai Xiang entered the room, she heard Mrs. Yu say to Mrs. Zhao.

I saw those bundles were unpacked, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Zhao were going through them one after the other, and the kang was filled with colorful fabrics and clothes.

In fact, most of what Uladomin gave Mai Xiang were ready-made clothes, because she knew that Mai Xiang had a lot of things to do, and she was not willing to make clothes, so now she basically secretly gave Mai Xiang her figure when she was ready.

Mai Xiang frowned slightly, this Zhao family had improved a bit, but when this Yu family came, she returned to her original state.

"Girl, your grandma said that the date of your eldest cousin's marriage has been fixed, and it is set on the tenth day of May. No, I want you to give him two pieces of silk, so that your uncle can spend money to buy it. My uncle's family is saving money to build a house." Seeing Mai Xiang coming in, Mrs. Zhao said hastily.

"Grandma, I haven't put these things back. When I find a suitable one later, I will give my cousin two yuan." Mai Xiang said.

"Hey, what day is it today, where are these things placed? I can't send out the things in my hand?" Mrs. Liu accompanied Mrs. Wan to come in again, and Mrs. Wan also held two cardboard boxes in her hands .

Mrs. Yu also knew that she should not lose Mai Xiang's face in front of outsiders, she hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile: "We country people have never seen anything in the world, and we feel rare when we look at this colorful thing, and we are old ladies. It looks good even if you wear it.”

"Who says it's not? No, I also found two pieces of good material from my youth. We can't get on, so it's just right for my unmarried grandson and daughter-in-law." After the old lady Wan finished speaking, she opened her The cardboard box in his hand turned out to be a pink satin and a green satin. They looked very smooth and soft at first glance. They were suitable for summer clothes, and they must be very comfortable to wear next to the body.

"Thank you so much, you still thought of sending it to me from such a long distance." Mai Xiang took the things generously and thanked her.

Everyone said it was for the grandson and daughter-in-law, why is she being pretentious?
Mrs. Wan took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the edge of the kang, and she also looked at these things on the kang. She was naturally a smart person, and the materials and clothes on the kang did not look cheap. It seemed that they were all given by that Fujin, no? Huai Ci's handwriting.

Seeing the old lady sitting down, Mai Xiang seemed to have something to say, so she said to Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, take grandma to the shop. If it's not busy there, call the cook over there." help here."

Mrs. Liu was originally a discerning person, seeing this, she hurriedly said: "I'll go to the kitchen to see, your grandfather said that his teeth have been bad for the past two days, and he wants to eat something soft."

Mrs. Zhao didn't want to leave at first, but when she saw Mrs. Liu stretched her clothes before leaving, she reluctantly dragged Mrs. Yu out of the house.

Seeing that Mai Xiang dismissed everyone calmly in an instant, old lady Wan secretly nodded in admiration, this girl is really a clever one.

"Nurse Wan, please say whatever you want." Seeing that the other party was looking at her all the time, Mai Xiang felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked directly.

"Yesterday my eldest grandson came back and said that he met you at the gate of the academy. I want to ask, is my second grandson studying in the academy again?"

Mai Xiang was taken aback when she heard this, she really didn't expect that Huaici didn't tell his family when he went to the academy, because she knew that Huaici spent the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival in Wan's house, so he didn't say anything about such a big event. Discuss with your family, why?

How did Mai Xiang know that when he met Wan Zhigao in the academy that day, Huai Ci felt a little uneasy, because he knew his aunt too well, and she would not let him go to school so smoothly, but in order not to worry about Mai Xiang, Huai Ci felt a little uneasy. Nothing was said.

Mai Xiang still doesn't have enough understanding of human nature, so she naturally couldn't think of this. Huaici didn't want the Wan family to know that he entered the academy because he didn't want Mrs. Wan to disturb him.

Seeing that Mai Xiang hesitated, Mrs. Wan was a little puzzled, and asked: "This child, studying is a great thing. What can I not say about it? His grandfather and father must be very happy when they know about it. I don’t know how much he has worried about his lack of progress.”

After the old lady Wan finished speaking, she quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing. This Mai Xiang was Huai Ci's daughter-in-law who had never been married. The previous scandal might make that prince ask the emperor to dissolve the engagement.

"Well, Miss Mai Xiang, when I said that I didn't make progress, I meant that the child didn't want to study hard. It didn't mean anything else." Mrs. Wan hurriedly added.

Mrs. Wan's words reminded Mai Xiang that Huai Ci had Mrs. Wan's shady schemes because she knew how to make progress. Mrs. Wan really did not want Huai Ci to be better than her own son.

"Mother Wan, we went to the academy to inquire about what books those students want now, and Mother Wan also knows that Huai Ci has opened a bookstore now, and he also knows his identity, and the family property of the Wan family also knows I don’t dare to count on anything, so I want to take good care of my business, earn money, buy a few acres of land, and support my family in the future.”

Mai Xiang's words made the old lady feel a little uncomfortable. Is this blaming the Wan family for being unfair?
"Didn't our Wan family give him 2000 taels of silver for settling down? Adding the 1000 taels rewarded by the emperor, buying two shops and collecting the rent safely is enough for you to live. Mai Xiang, listen to me A word of persuasion, I think he still listens to you. You see, when you get sick, he doesn't even go home, and has been guarding you for almost half a month. Of course, there is no other meaning in saying this today. Mammy just hopes that you can persuade him to let him enter the school while he is young and still has a little background, even if he can only pass the exam as a scholar, he can be regarded as a scholar, and it is better than being a businessman." Mr. Wan Tai took Mai Xiang's hand and said in detail.

Her position is naturally different from Mrs. Wan's. Wan Zhiyuan is also the grandson of the Wan family, and no matter which grandson is successful, it is the glory of the Wan family.
