Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 203 Sharp turn down
As soon as Mai Xiang left, Qian Shi saw Wu Fu hugging Li Shi with a distressed look on his face, and for some reason felt a little bit sour in his heart, because Er Fu had never seen her like this.

"Hey, I didn't expect my fifth brother to love my fifth brother and sister so much. If you ask me, my fifth brother and sister are also stupid. They are not willing to spend money on medical treatment, but they are willing to spend money on hairpins. Don't you know that this person is more important than hairpins?" Qian said with a smile on the side .

"Second sister-in-law, what nonsense, I gave her the hairpin on her head two days ago for her birthday. After two years of marriage, she has suffered so much with me, and I haven't given her a decent thing yet." Wufu Angry, she glared at Qian Shi.

"Why don't you say that you love your daughter-in-law? Fifth brother, you too, knowing that our mother loves my little sister, but I don't know what good things to buy for my little sister." Sun said holding the ear of wheat beside her.

"The second brother and the third brother didn't buy anything for my sister, and the fifth brother gave our mother dozens of taels of silver as a dowry for my sister." Zhao Shi curled her lips when she heard this.

"Don't we have the conditions of my sister-in-law's family? My sister-in-law looks at us, and there is nothing on my body that I can get her hands on. How can my little sister like it?" After finishing speaking, Sun looked at Jiufeng who was standing stupidly on the porch He pursed his lips and smiled.

"That is, don't talk about the condition of a sister-in-law, but the condition of having a fifth brother, we are satisfied. The hairpins on the heads of the fifth brothers and sisters are probably enough for us to save for a year." Qian did not expect that even married the poorest Li's family has also turned around, and she actually has such a glamorous outfit. Among the daughters-in-law of Lao Ye's family, she is now the most shabby.

"Okay, shut up if you are arguing." Seeing that his mother-in-law was causing trouble again, Er Fu also gave her a hard look.

At this time, Jiufeng walked up to Wufu and his wife and said weakly: "Fifth brother, don't worry, I will tell mother not to ask for your money. I have followed Maixiang for a year now, and I can Earn a few pennies, fifth brother, I will give you all the money I saved, and you take fifth sister-in-law to the city to find a good doctor."

"Sister, this matter has nothing to do with you. Fifth brother knows that you should keep your money well. If you stay with mother and take good care of mother, you are helping fifth brother." Wu Fu did not turn his anger on Jiufeng.

What else did Jiufeng want to say, Mai Xiang came back with Cao Xueqin.

"Uncle Wu, why haven't you put Aunt Wu on the kang yet?"

After hearing this, Wufu carried Mrs. Li into the backyard, and Mrs. Zhao followed. When Cao Xueqin felt Mrs. Li's pulse, Mai Xiang was sending someone outside to the city to find Uradomin, because Cao Xueqin said Mrs. Liu's Several precious medicinal materials are needed for dispensing, which may not be complete in this small town.And Mai Xiang knew that Yongen had opened a drug store, and the price was nothing but the price, the things must be real.

"Siblings are happy, it's a happy pulse, congratulations, Brother Wufu." Cao Xueqin said.

"What, what are you talking about, what?" Wu Fu was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Li was being silly at this moment, she looked at Cao Xueqin and then at Wufu, thinking she was dreaming.

"It's all right now, our mother can no longer force the fifth younger brother to divorce his wife." Mrs. Zhao is really happy for Mrs. Li, because she knows that Mai Xiang really likes these two people, and the person Mai Xiang likes, she thinks Definitely a good guy.

"The water in the capital is better. The fifth sibling didn't conceive in the countryside for two years, but she got pregnant in three months after going to the capital." Sun also laughed.

"She needs to rest and recuperate. She has suffered from a severe deficit a few days ago. She has just recovered from it. In the future, be careful not to be too tired and eat more good food." Seeing that everyone was only happy, Cao Xueqin hastily urged a few words.

"Ah, my fifth aunt's body hasn't recovered yet? Fifth uncle, didn't I tell you when I was in the city that you must guarantee how much food my fifth aunt will eat a day?" Mai Xiang came in, only to hear Cao Xueqin's last sentence Then, he gave Wu Fu a dissatisfied look.

She had known for a long time that Mrs. Li was in short supply, so she didn't say much when she lived with Mrs. Liu. Building a house on the ground, so I am not willing to spend money to eat something good.

After arriving in the city, Mai Xiang made a special menu for Li Shi. Every morning, she must eat an egg and brown sugar soup, drink at least one bowl of chicken soup or duck soup, five or six red dates, half a bowl of donkey-hide gelatin, etc., because the doctor said she was angry. Two losses of blood.

"Hehe, eat, eat, I listen to you every day and stare at what she eats, otherwise, can your fifth aunt be pregnant?" Wu Fu sat on the edge of the kang and looked at Mrs. Li without blinking his eyes.

"What, pregnant? Is it true that I am pregnant? My fifth aunt is really pregnant?" Mai Xiang pulled Cao Xueqin's clothes and asked, her excitement was self-evident.

"Your husband doesn't have the ability to come out and give someone else's pulse?" Cao Xueqin patted Mai Xiang on the head and smiled.

"Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, I'll go and tell Mammy." Mai Xiang wiped away her tears. This child came too timely, making the current stalemate suddenly turn from tragedy to comedy.

Mai Xiang pulled Mrs. Zhao out, followed Cao Xueqin into the front yard, Mrs. Liu was still lying on the kang, Ye Dafu and Ye Tiezhu were sitting at the end of the kang, their faces were not very good.

"Mommy, mommy, the fifth aunt has a baby, and the fifth aunt has a child. Just now, the husband felt the pulse." Sitting on the edge of the kang, Mai Xiang said slowly to Mrs. Liu.

"Really, your fifth aunt has a baby?" Ye Dafu stood up excitedly.

"Really?" Ye Tiezhu also raised his head, heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Mrs. Liu again.

"Auntie, the fifth sibling is indeed pregnant, so Auntie can rest easy." Cao Xueqin walked to the kang and said to Liu Shi.

"Thank you, Master." Mrs. Liu seemed very tired, these few words took her a lot of effort.

"Mother, fifth brother is fine now, so why worry about it, when mother is well, father and mother will come and stay with me for a few days, and also live in your third son's new house." Sanfu said beside him.

Mai Xiang felt that this was the most humane sentence that Sanfu had said since she met Sanfu, even though after he finished saying this, Mrs. Sun secretly pinched him.

"Mother just said that she will go to the city with us to celebrate the New Year in a few days." Dafu said.

"Brother, you still decided to go to the city for the New Year?" Two blessings and three blessings asked together, a little envious and a little disappointed.Because the gap between brothers is getting bigger and bigger.

"Yes, I just thought about coming back next spring." Ye Dafu said.

"Brother Dafu, aunt like this, don't bother her these few days, let's talk about it later." After Cao Xueqin finished speaking, he glanced at Mai Xiang again. He was really reluctant to leave Mai Xiang, even though he knew that next spring, Mai Xiang Xiang will come back again.

The Ye family's relocation plan was temporarily stranded because of Mrs. Liu, but Mai Xiang went to the capital ahead of time. Because Mrs. Li was pregnant, she would definitely not be able to make salted ducks. She couldn't find a suitable person in a hurry. I had to do it myself.

Fortunately, after Uladomin knew about this situation, he sent Mai Xiang a woman in her forties. The woman made lo-mei all the year round. After following Mai Xiang for two days, she learned how to make salted duck. Get up.

Today, Mai Xiang was planning to go to the academy to give Huai Ci a big woolen dress, because the first snow in winter fell, although it was not big, there was a thin layer on the ground.

"Miss, someone from Jinbeile Mansion is here." The servant girl Feng Ye came over and said.

Maple Leaf is Mai Xiang's newly bought maid. When she comes to the capital this time, it will be inconvenient for Mrs. Li to do anything when she has a body. In addition, Mai Xiang's family also plans to move to the capital for the New Year. Neither her own house nor Huai Ci's house is available. Mai Xiang bought four maids, four servants, and four women who did rough work, half of which were on one side, and the house immediately seemed to be alive.Mai Xiang is a lazy person. In order to make it easy to remember, the maids are all named Ye, and the servants are all named after trees.

"Jinbeile Mansion? Who's here?" When Mai Xiang heard that Amusin had sent someone over, she thought she was in a hurry.

"It's a nanny who has sent two carts of charcoal for the winter, and some other things. They are sending people to unload things."

When Mai Xiang heard this, she hurriedly walked out, only to see Madam Li hugging a small hand stove, watching the boys carry things down.

"Li Nanny, come into the house with me to keep warm, why is your old man here in this snowy day?" Mai Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Nanny into the house and onto the kang.

"Our son-in-law is back, and he brought some special products from the Western Regions. Our Gege Society is sending people to distribute them everywhere."

"Really? Jin Baylor is back?" Mai Xiang felt that Hong Rong had been away for a long time this time, and he had been away for almost ten months. It seemed that this ancient means of transportation was indeed backward.

"No, the emperor said that our lord did a good job on this errand, and rewarded our lord with a lot of good things, so that our lord will enter the palace and work by his side in the future." Nanny Li said happily.

"Really? Then why did the emperor seal you little Gege without saying anything?" Mai Xiang asked with a smile. She remembered that Uladomin would be sealed at three o'clock, and Amusin's child was more than a month old. up.

"How can it be so easy? Prince Zhuang's eldest son and grandson don't even have titles. It would be great if our son-in-law can be named a Baylor. Now the emperor keeps him by his side, just to let our father experience it." Li Nanny said All smiles.

"Well then, Mother Li, go back and tell your master that I will send someone to invite Prince Li and Fujin. In the afternoon, I will serve wine to your master at Fuyunlai. I have tried two new dishes. Please master come and taste my handicraft." Mai Xiang laughed.

"Okay, I'll go back to deliver the letter right now, Prince Li, then I'll run for you. Anyway, I'm on the way, so I should go and say hello to Fujin."

"So I'm going to trouble Li Nanny." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she gave Li Nanny a purse as a reward, which contained a tael of silver, and ordered Feng Ye to reward each of the boys with a bunch of money.

After Li Nanny left, Mai Xiang looked at the special products from the Western Regions that Amusin had sent. In addition to raisins, there were jujubes, dried apricots, walnuts, almonds from the Western Regions, dried mutton, beef, camel meat, and a few pieces of animal fur. There is also a handmade carpet from the Western Regions, which is very gorgeous, and Mai Xiang does not know if it is Persian.

Mai Xiang asked Hongye to distribute some things to Li Shi, and she changed her clothes again, and asked Fengye to follow the academy she went to first.

When Mai Xiang arrived, a carriage stopped at the gate of the academy.
