Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 192

Huaici lived in Ye's house for a day, then returned to the capital, because he had to meet the shopkeeper of the silk shop in person, and besides, he also wanted to take a look at the house for Mai Xiang first.

Of course, Mai Xiang didn't go with him, and there were a lot of things going on at home recently. The last batch of kites was still waiting for Mai Xiang to paint, so I didn't want to hurry. It should be done, Mrs. Zhao has not yet learned how to cut, and Mai Xiang has to do these things herself. In addition, the day after Huaici left, Liu Huilan gave Mai Xiang the first five chapters of the first volume of "The Story of the Stone". delivered.

When Mai Xiang got the manuscript, she naturally turned on the lamp overnight to review it, and then began the difficult process of copying the book. Of course, Mai Xiang copied it with a charcoal pen. If the writing is not good-looking, Mai Xiang will not force herself, and copy out a copy of the manuscript first, and talk about the rest later.

The day just entered May, when Mai Xiang was preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, Uladomin sent Madam Guan to pick up Mai Xiang, saying that the prince was in a hurry to find her.

Mai Xiang followed Madam Guan into Prince Li's mansion. Just after entering the courtyard of the upper room, Wan Yun and Wan Xia stood outside the door. Seeing Madam Guan and Mai Xiang coming in, Wan Yun hurriedly said: "My lord only let Mai Xiang in." .”

"Sister Wanyun, what happened?" Mai Xiang hurriedly asked when she saw that both of them looked nervous, and they were obviously guarding the door.

"Girl, hurry up and go in, we don't know." Wan Xia pushed Mai Xiang.

Mai Xiang glanced at them, and entered the yard suspiciously, only to see Huai Ci kneeling under the steps of the upper room, it seemed that she had not been kneeling for a while, because Mai Xiang saw that Huai Ci's body was soaked through.Uladomin and Yongen both sat in the upper room with angry faces.

"Sister and brother-in-law, what happened?" Mai Xiang was taken aback, and also knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Sister, get up quickly." Uladomin came out to support Mai Xiang, and dragged Mai Xiang into the house, and the two got on the kang.

"Sister, what is this?" Mai Xiang guessed that Yong En and Uladomin had probably heard some rumors.

"We were fooled by my sister's marriage. Your brother-in-law said that he would ask the emperor to withdraw."

"Retired? Why?" Mai Xiang asked knowingly.

"Sister, don't ask me about the details here. Your brother-in-law said it was all his fault. You didn't find out clearly. You are right to listen to my sister. In the future, my sister will help you arrange better arrangements for your marriage. " Uladomin said while stroking Mai Xiang's head.

"Then why is Huai Ci kneeling outside?" Mai Xiang felt sorry for him.

"Your brother-in-law called him to confirm some things. Seeing that your brother-in-law was angry, he knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that he would agree to any conditions as long as he didn't withdraw the marriage. , your brother-in-law is angry, we just brought you here, sister, tell her, you two, shouldn't you?" After Uladomin asked, she looked at Mai Xiang.

"Where is my sister thinking, we didn't do anything between us, how old am I?" Mai Xiang knew what Uladomin was worried about, and said hurriedly.

"That's good. I saw that he kept insisting on you coming. Thinking that you lived together in Shanxi for a month, I thought you did something wrong." Uladomin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dare he? If he wants to do this, I'll just castrate him." Yong En also came in.

"Sister and brother-in-law, have you heard something?" Mai Xiang stopped playing charades with the other party.

"I just found out that this kid didn't learn well since he was a child. Sister, it's brother-in-law who is sorry for you this time. This marriage should be retired. I will go to the palace tomorrow to beg the emperor. You are the sister of my Prince Li." , how can you marry such a notorious person?"

"Sister, brother-in-law, I know everything about Huaici. Two months ago, someone came to persuade me. I said a word. Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears may not be the whole truth. , I believe him, he is not that kind of person."

"How could it be? The king personally asked someone to inquire about the place where he studied before, and this time, it was also someone who came to him and chased him to this academy. This kid has never broken up with him."

"My lord, Mai Xiang trusted him, he was wronged."

"Injustice? Then I asked him, why didn't he say anything?" Yong En was also full of anger.

"Brother-in-law, this is a family matter of their Wan family. He doesn't want to solve it by other people's hands. He wants to use his own ability to seek justice for himself and his biological mother."

Of course, these words were guessed by Mai Xiang. The reason why Huaici wanted to earn money while also wanting to be famous was of course for Mai Xiang, but to a certain extent, Mai Xiang also felt that he was doing it for himself and His biological mother.

Yongen and Uladomin understood immediately after hearing this, they are all people who live in a big mansion, how can they not understand these disputes and calculations in the backyard, the problem is, how talented is Huaici, a maid As for the son who was born, why should Mrs. Wan be so on guard?
"Okay, my lord, let him get up, you have a good talk with him." Uladomin said to Yongen.

Yongen went out and said something to Huaici, Huaici stood up unsteadily, and the two entered the opposite room.

"Sister, think it over, you really don't regret this marriage, you really don't want to withdraw? Also, when did you know about his messy things?" Uladomin asked, holding Mai Xiang's hand.

In her heart, Huai Ci was really not the most ideal candidate, and with the incident like this, she didn't like Huai Ci even more, but she was curious why Mai Xiang would take a fancy to him and defend him like this?

"I can't say I regret it, and of course I don't want to divorce. It's just that if there hadn't been that vaccination, we might not have settled down so quickly. Because at the beginning, he always felt that he was not good enough for me, and he just wanted to be my brother's guard." But now that it's settled, we don't think about anything else, we just want to cherish each other." Mai Xiang told Uladomin a little about the trials and entanglements between the two, but Huai Ci was put under house arrest for half a year. Mai Xiang didn't say anything about it, because it was Huaici's shame, and she believed that Huaici was more willing to seek justice by herself.

"At first, I thought his aunt was a difficult one, but I didn't expect her to be a cruel one. Sister, if you enter Wan's family from now on, what will she do if she wants to make things difficult for you?"

Uladomin thought farther ahead. On that day, Mrs. Wan bullied Mai Xiang justifiably as a mother-in-law, and she couldn't find a good excuse even if she wanted to stand out.

"Sister, do you think I'm such a weak and deceitful person? Don't worry, sister, I'm definitely not the one to swallow my anger. Sister, go and persuade your brother-in-law, and stop embarrassing Huaici." Mai Xiang pushed Uradomin's body.

"Oh, I really don't know that you two have a bad relationship. As soon as he heard that your brother-in-law was going to ask the emperor to withdraw his marriage, he knelt down at the door and refused to let your brother-in-law go out."

Uladomin is also very contradictory. She can see that Huai Ci is sincere to Mai Xiang. Of course, the most contradictory thing is that Mai Xiang's heart is also Huai Ci, so when they make a decision, they have to consider Mai Xiang's feelings .

"By the way, last month, I heard that Huaici was going to buy a house again. What's going on?" Seeing that the two of them had no intention of separating, Uladomin became concerned about them again.

"He bought a house? It should be for us, right? I want to buy a yard in the city. When I have nothing to do in winter, I want to move to the city."

After hearing this, Uladomin pointed to Mai Xiang's forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "Little smelly, how did Amusin and I tell you to move to the city before but didn't see you being tempted? If you move, you will move?"

"Sister, sister..." Mai Xiang had nothing to answer, and blushed.

"Okay, don't look at me like that, I'll go see what your brother-in-law told him." Uladomin pouted and stood up.

"It's better to be a sister." Mai Xiang stepped forward and hugged Uladomin.

"De Xing, you said how young you are, please be honest and restrained, something really happened, I can't spare him." Uladomin poked Mai Xiang's head again with his hand.

Uladomin sighed after finishing speaking, she really felt that Huai Ci was not worthy of Mai Xiang, but she also knew that there was a saying that money cannot buy a good heart, if Mai Xiang and Huai Ci were willing, she could really break up the pair Little mandarin duck?

Just as Uladomin left the room, Yong En and Huai Ci also came out. It seemed that Huai Ci had persuaded Yong En.

Yong En looked at Mai Xiang, and asked again: "Sister, you have thought about it, it's too late to regret it now."

"Brother-in-law, I will not regret it."

Yong En looked at Mai Xiang, then at Huai Ci, and said: "Let's go, if you really do something wrong to my sister in the future, you weigh the heads of your Wan family."

"Thank you, my lord, for making it perfect." Huai Ci replied respectfully.

"Sister, brother-in-law, let me send him back. His legs have been kneeling for a long time, and I'm afraid he can't walk." Mai Xiang mainly wanted to go back and find out who was responsible for this incident.

"You? You just stay here." Yong En was still angry.

Mai Xiang tugged at Uladomin's clothes, and said, "I'll be back as soon as I go. I promise I'll be back soon. Also, I want to see a yard. If I really like it, I'll go back and pick it up." silver."

"What money to take?" Yong En asked.

Uladomin told you about Mai Xiang's plan to buy a house, and Yong En said after hearing this: "I haven't paid you for the toothbrush and dart board last time. In addition, a batch of cups from the porcelain factory were also sent to the palace. The empresses and princesses in the palace like it very much, and I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send over the bill later."

"Brother-in-law, do the ladies and princesses in the palace really like it?" Mai Xiang was happy when she heard this.

In modern times, she likes the kind of tea cups that are particularly delicate and exquisite, which are definitely different from the ancient tureen. In addition, there are many patterns on the teacups, including characters, flowers, birds, and animals, which are much more colorful than the tureen, so why not?

"Okay, let's talk about this when we come back. You can go with Huaici first, and I will send someone to pick you up later."

Uladomin is not sure whether Huai Cizhi knows about Mai Xiang's family background, so he doesn't want to talk about this topic.
