Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 185
When Mai Xiang heard what Old Madam Wan said, she probably felt distressed when she took out the 2000 taels. No, it should be 3000 taels, and she still has 1000 taels.According to her opinion, Huai Ci and Mai Xiang have these few thousand taels of silver enough, and Wan Jia doesn't plan to take care of it anymore.

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Madam Wan, studying is the same as doing business, it all depends on one's understanding, of course there is some luck, if Huaici has this understanding and luck, I think I don’t need to persuade him, he will know how to do it himself. I don’t know if Mammy has heard a word, this man, if luck comes, he can’t stop it.”

Although Mai Xiang didn't admit it explicitly, she left room for the two of them, because Huai Ci's study would not take long to find out.

"I know this too. What I mean is that this child has had a relationship with us since he was a child. He won't listen to what we say, so I asked you to persuade him. I remember my former husband said that he was better at studying than in school." He, he is savvy in reading."

Old Madam Wan originally wanted to say that Wan Zhiyuan had a higher level of understanding than Wan Zhi, but she felt that she would belittle her grandson by saying this. Outsiders take it lightly.

"Nurse Wan, why did he have sex with you since childhood?" Mai Xiang wanted to know how much the old lady knew about the truth.

"In theory, it doesn't matter if I tell you, sooner or later you have to know that his biological mother was a maid who left within a few years after giving birth to him. Temperament, we don't know how much care, especially his aunt, knowing that he doesn't like to talk, afraid that he will be too embarrassed to speak up, put two maids by his side early, let the two maids take care of him wholeheartedly, The family's money can also be used by him, for fear of wronging him, but this child is so natural, and he can't keep warm. And his elder brother knelt down to intercede for him because of his separation, but this My child, I am just unmoved." The old lady half-confided something about the past to Mai Xiang.

When Mai Xiang heard these words, she knew that the old lady was kept in the dark. This is what Mai Xiang didn't understand. The old lady Wan seemed to be a shrewd person, how could she be fooled by her daughter-in-law? ?It's not a year or two, it's almost 20 years, 20 years is not enough to understand a person?

Or her heart never stayed on Huai Ci at all, so if she didn't care or pay attention, she was relieved.

Just as Mai Xiang was about to ask a few more questions, she heard Mai Huang's voice outside.

"Elder Sister, Eldest Sister, are you back? Eighth Uncle said that if you don't come back, our family's kites will pile up into mountains." As soon as Mai Huang finished speaking, he saw the old lady from the Wan family sitting on the kang, and hurriedly saluted and said hello.

Seeing Mai Huang coming in, Mrs. Wan smiled and said, "Mai Huang is becoming more and more beautiful now, and I heard that you are becoming more and more capable. You are still in charge of this family."

After sitting with Mrs. Liu for a while, Mrs. Wan had a basic understanding of the affairs of the Ye family.

"That's nothing to me, my elder sister taught me what I do." Mai Huang is not stupid, he knows how to push Mai Xiang out.

"It's really good to see you two sisters being humbled by you and me." Mrs. Wan said enviously.

The Wan family also has two granddaughters. It stands to reason that they have learned some rules from their mothers, but they are not as generous as Mai Xiang and Mai Huang.

Thinking of this, the old lady sighed, and came to the conclusion that the children born to the concubine were born to be hard-working, and among the Wan family's children, her eldest grandson was the one who liked them the most.

Seeing her sighing, Mai Xiang didn't know it was because of this, she thought she was sighing for Huaici's birth.

Coincidentally, at this time, Mai Qing also brought Mai Lu and Mai Di in. After entering, Mai Qing first looked at Mai Xiang's face, and asked with concern: "Sister, have you gone to see the doctor? Why do you think you are still not good?" What about the spirit?"

"Look, the doctor said it's nothing serious, and you'll be able to take it easy in the future. The elder sister has been back for a long time, what are you doing?" Seeing that Mai Di kept moving closer to her, Mai Xiang simply hugged him stand up.

"Sister, eat." Mai Di will soon be two years old, and his speech is still a bit incoherent.

Seeing that Mai finished speaking, Mai Xiang stretched out his hand, and there was a piece of snack in his hand, which he wanted to give to Mai Xiang.

"Eldest sister doesn't eat, younger brother eats, but younger brother, have you remembered, what should I do before eating?"

"Wash your hands, dry them up." After Mai finished speaking, she stretched out her hands to show Mai Xiang, and Mai Xiang saw that although his hands were washed, there was still mud in the crevices of his nails, so she knew that Mrs. Zhao must have been fooling her, and she also Only she has such a sloppy temper, she finds it troublesome to do anything.

Mai Xiang took out a pair of scissors from her sewing basket, and patiently cut Mai Di's nails. The old lady Wan nodded secretly when she saw it. Well, she still knows a little bit about Mr. Zhao, so she can't teach him this kind of temperament.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wan said to Mai Xiang with a smile: "It's strange that your mother often praises you. I saw you today, and I also think you are good. There are still many things that I don't know. Well, I won't make a fuss." You, I'll talk to your nanny."

After hearing this, Mai Xiang really didn't quite understand what the old lady meant, so she just smiled and stood up to see her off.

"Eldest sister, she didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Mai Huang asked in a low voice after the old lady went out.

"No, what are you thinking about? Where's Dad? I haven't seen him for a long time after I came back."

"Daddy is here. Daddy was just about to come in to see you. When he knew that Mammy Wan was talking to you, he went out for a walk. Girl, the second batch of chicks, ducks and geese in our family have also hatched. Daddy thinks Sell ​​a few pairs of those golden pheasants instead of keeping so many."

"Okay, dad can figure it out, but that thing might go to the city to sell it, and it shouldn't be easy to sell it in our small place."

"I know this. Damei's father often sells game in the city, so I asked him to bring it for a try."

"By the way, Dad, the last time I was in the capital, my mother said to buy a yard in the city. I think it will be possible. When there is nothing to do in winter, we can move to the city to live for a few days. Also, in the future, the wheat land will be big. Now, it’s more convenient to study in the city, of course, what I mean is, the things here don’t move, we’ll build another home in the city.” Mai Xiang said.

The reason why Mai Xiang wanted to move to the city was to be closer to Huaici, so that they could meet each other when he was resting. Furthermore, since Mai Xiang was in the city, he also had a place to eat.

"But the silver in my father's hand bought the land, and now there are only some broken silver." Ye Dafu said.

"Father, I still have a lot of money in my hand. Last year's account at the shop was in my hand. Now that I have made up my mind, someday when Huaici is free, our family will take a look around."

Mai Xiang doesn't want to buy land with all the money in her hand. In ancient times, people depended on the sky for food. Although the capital will not be flooded, natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, so Mai Xiang's wish is to buy more shops. There are many rich people, and the shop can still guarantee to receive rent. The problem is that the shop is not easy to buy, so Mai Xiang turned to housing investment.

"Girl, are we really going to move to the city?" Just as Mai Xiang finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Yu came in again.

"I didn't say I would move to the city, but I went to the city to buy a yard."

"Don't you want to move there after you buy the yard?" Mrs. Zhao is still quite keen on becoming a city resident.

"Big aunt, grandma said, how much money did you take advantage of, kid, to buy a place today and a shop tomorrow, tsk tsk, your aunt's family is just now full of food, aunt, what are you doing?" Don't throw away the old clothes you can't wear, send them to your aunt's house, and your third aunt, life is not easy." Yu Shi started talking again.

She doesn't have to worry about the eldest son now. The eldest grandson is about to get married. Last year, he was at Maixiang's side, helping to manage the shop. He even found time to make some toothbrush handles and dart boards in the evening. After a year, there are also 20 children. Two silver coins, plus the eldest son made kites and toothbrush handles for a year, and earned more than ten yuan. No, they are waiting for the second and third children to move out so that they can renovate the whole yard.

The second and third sons have few children, and their two daughters-in-law are also capable. They have followed Mai Xiang for more than a year, and have saved twenty or thirty cents. They have bought all the places and are just waiting for the autumn harvest to build a house.

As for Dachun, Mai Xiang knows without thinking that Dachun's personality is similar to that of his old mother, and she is also a worthless person.At any rate, I borrowed some light from Mai Xiang for more than a year, and my food and clothing have been solved, but it is too difficult to get better these days.

"Grandma, I can wear my eldest sister's old clothes. I will give them to Mai Qing when I finish them, and send them to my aunt's house after my younger sister finishes wearing them. No one can wear them anymore." Mai Huang laughed.

"And your third aunt's child just happens to be, your old aunt also gave birth to a daughter." Yu is not stupid, knowing that Mai Xiang's current clothes are all good clothes.

"Big girl, don't talk about anything else, your cousin Ziju is going to have a kiss this year, see if you can find two sets of clothes for her to support her appearance, she is going to get married, and your aunt's family should relax." Yu turned to her again. Mai Xiang, she knows, this family, Mai Xiang has the final say.

"Grandma, someone came to kiss me, who is it?" Mai Xiang remembered that she would be fifteen this year.

"How can it be? I don't want to have two sets of good clothes, so I'll check if I can marry a good family."

Mai Xiang lost interest when she heard this, and said: "Mai Huang is in charge of the family affairs, let Mai Huang see if there are any cotton cloths, and find two yuan for her to make new clothes by herself. Grandma sit down, I will Time to go ahead and cook."

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave when she saw Bafu running in. Seeing a bunch of people in the room, she couldn't say anything, but just kept winking at Mai Xiang.
