Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 204 Provocation
When Mai Xiang arrived at the gate of the academy this time, she didn't wait for Huai Ci in the restaurant as usual, but waited directly in the carriage, and sent Bai Yang, the servant, to the porter of the academy to say something.

Mai Xiang waited in the car for about half an hour, but there was no one, she felt a little strange, when she was about to get off the car, Bai Yang walked over and said, "Miss, someone stopped Master Huaici at the door."

"Stop him? Who is it?" Mai Xiang lifted the curtain and saw two people who didn't know the appearance of servants stopped Huaici, pointed to another carriage at the entrance of the academy, Huaici shook his head.

"Bai Yang, why don't you go over and ask what's going on?" Mai Xiang frowned slightly.

"Miss, it's the Wan family who came, saying that Mrs. Wan sent someone to deliver clothes to Young Master Huai Ci, and Young Master Huai Ci didn't want to see her."

"Mrs. Wan sent someone to deliver the clothes?" Mai Xiang felt fresh when she heard this.

Mai Xiang lifted the curtain again and looked around, just as the carriage also lifted the curtain, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid poked her head out, saw Huai Ci, holding a bundle happily After getting out of the carriage, he ran quickly to Huai Ci, raised his head, looked at Huai Ci with a coquettish look on his face.

"Second young master, you have come out. This servant has been waiting for you here for several days, and I finally saw you. This is a big padded jacket that this servant gave you. Second young master, try it on to see if it fits you well."

"Shut up, I hate seeing you, don't come here again, I won't see you when I come, and I won't ask for things." Huaici stepped back a few steps, without looking at the things in the maid's hand, and turned to Mai Xiang. The carriage came running.
Seeing Huaici getting into the carriage with a straight face, Mai Xiang covered the hand stove in his hand and said with a smile, "What a good day today, why are people rushing to bring you clothes?"

"Sister, is this comforting me?" Although Huai Ci had a straight face, seeing Mai Xiang's smile, the anger in his heart disappeared.

"Is this the first time they have come to look for you?" Mai Xiang cast a sidelong glance at Huai Ci, she had never heard Huai Ci say that anyone still misses him.

"No, I've been here for a few days. For the first time, I didn't know it was her. I took a look at it from a distance and then went back. I didn't come out the next few times. Today I thought they were looking for me at first, That's why I didn't come out either. Later, Bai Yang went in to find me, and I didn't know it was my sister who came. Who knew that they were here again when I came out. By the way, sister, why did you go out to find me when it was snowing?" Huai Although Ci was happy to see Mai Xiang, she was more distressed. She held Mai Xiang's hand and put it on the stove together.

It wasn't the first time that Feng Ye and Mai Xiang came out to see Huai Ci, and when they saw this, they automatically sat in front.

"I've brought you clothes. By the way, the second brother-in-law is back from the Western Regions. I promised him that he will meet him later. Can you go with me?" Mai Xiang hoped that he would go and listen to some news about the Western Regions. Seeing and hearing is better than just sitting in the classroom and reading dead books.

"Second brother-in-law is finally back. He has been away for a while. Wait for me, sister. I'm going to ask my husband for a leave." Huaici said and left with her pack.

After Huaici got off the carriage, the maid walked towards Mai Xiang's carriage, Bai Yang asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to meet your lady."

After hearing this, Mai Xiang was curious about the reason for the other party's visit, so she lifted the curtain and looked at her.

"Are you really the young mistress of the second young master?" the other party asked.

"If it's a fake replacement."

"It's not that bad, it's so ugly, how could it be like this? The second young master is just looking for a poor man in the countryside, why did he find an ugly woman." When the other party saw Mai Xiang, he seemed very disappointed, as if looking at Mai Xiang Said, like talking to himself.

Mai Xiang was furious when she heard this, a little maid, she dared to despise Mai Xiang, isn't this a blatant provocation?
She took a closer look at the other party. He was definitely no older than 20 years old. He had a face as big as a palm. His eyebrows were beautiful. They were the typical thin willow-leaf eyebrows. His eyes were also good, with a pair of watery almond eyes, a small nose and a small mouth. This kind of person should be the type that I feel pity for, and I can't see the appearance of a vixen and a nightmare.Isn't she the maid who lured Huai Ci into bed?

Mai Xiang couldn't figure it out, she remembered Huaici said that Mrs. Wan gave her two stunning maids, one of them left, and the other, Huaici didn't mention where she went, if it wasn't for the one in front of her This person, who else?
"You want to see me just to say this?"

"No, this servant just wants to see what the Second Young Mistress who caused the Second Young Master to not even want her home looks like." The other party looked at Mai Xiang without flinching at all.

Mai Xiang smiled when she heard this, and asked, "Who told you that I made the second young master not even want a home?"

"Isn't it? The second young master clamored to separate the family right after he was given the marriage. Moreover, he didn't even return home, and there was no one around him. The slaves didn't even know how he spent the past two years outside." As he spoke, his eye circles were still red.

"What's your name? Who are you?"

"The servant's name is Xue'er, and she is the servant girl next to the second young master."

"Xue'er, right? How many years have you been with the Second Young Master?"

"Five years."

"For five years, you don't know why the second young master left home, and you still want the second young master to talk to you?"

The other party looked at Mai Xiang and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about how to answer Mai Xiang.

"Who told you to make clothes for the second young master, who told you to wait here for the second young master every day?"

"It's the slave who wants the second young master, yes, the slave is waiting for the second young master."

Seeing her second, Mai Xiang obviously paused, and didn't bother to talk to her anymore, and said, "Go back, and don't hang around in front of us in the future."

The other party stopped looking at Mai Xiang, lowered his head, and walked slowly towards his carriage.

When Huaici came out again, the maid's carriage had already left.

"Brother, is she that person?" Mai Xiang couldn't help asking even though there were maids and servants around.

"Yes." After Huai Ci finished speaking, he held Mai Xiang's hand again apologetically.

"It's not like, it's really beautiful. It's pitiful to look at me." Mai Xiang laughed after finishing speaking.

"Miss, she says you are ugly, do you still have the heart to smile?" Feng Ye pouted unhappily in front.

"I'm not pretty at first, so what's the matter." Mai Xiang still laughed at Yanyan.

She was in a good mood, Huaici didn't like her because she was pretty.Such a beautiful Xue'er Huaici is not tempted even after seeing her. Does this mean that the possibility of a third party appearing in Mai Xiang's marriage in the future is unlikely?
"Sister, she has bullied you so much, do you still have the heart to smile?" Huai Ci looked at Mai Xiang's small face, and really wanted to take a bite, but there were maple leaves in the car, so he had no choice but to hold Mai Xiang's little hand tightly. in their own hands.

When the two arrived at Fuyunlai, Uladomin and Amusin's family had already arrived and sat in the private room.

"My sister is really dishonest. She even said she was going to be a treat, but she arrived later than us. We are all waiting to try my sister's new skills." Uladomin smiled while holding his stomach.

She is already a little pregnant, and she has passed the period of morning sickness, and now her appetite is very good.

"Mai Xiang, I'm hungry too, hurry up, I haven't been out to eat out for a long time." Amusin looked at the decoration of the private room curiously.

The decoration and furniture in the private room are all Chinese style, the difference is that there is an extra dart board on the wall of the private room, and guests can gamble some wine or small money while eating.

In addition, another difference is the tablecloth. There is a light yellow or reddish tablecloth on each dining table. There is also a small turntable table on the round table, which is also innovative by Maixiang.

Of course, the biggest difference is the tableware and tea set. These are all designed by Mai Xiang himself. They are real bone china, which looks noble and gorgeous. Because of the small quantity, they haven’t really been put on the market yet. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, of course, is quite expensive and luxurious.

Mai Xiang didn't expect that ancient people were really smart. She just mentioned that porcelain can be made by adding animal bones to clay, and the masters of the porcelain factory developed it in less than a month.

"Understood, two of you, one is pregnant and the other is parturient. You two are the oldest. The two brothers-in-laws sit down and have a cup of tea first. I'll make arrangements." Mai Xiang greeted.

"Mai Xiang, where is your teacup? I like it too, and I will give you a set later." Amu Xin picked up the teacup sent by the maid and immediately fell in love with it.

"Don't tell me about this, tell your eldest brother-in-law, let your eldest brother-in-law quickly produce a batch before the end of the year. Many customers have already asked about this, and we can have a good year if we do it well." Mai Xiang laughed.

Although this kind of porcelain is definitely not as high-end and valuable as the official kiln porcelain, but Mai Xiang remembered a sentence, the rare is the most expensive. This kind of bone china looks delicate and transparent, and the color surface is as moist as Jade is light in texture and milky white in color. This kind of milky white is different from ordinary ceramics, and it can be faintly transparent when placed under the light.

"Don't even mention it, even the emperor fell in love with this kind of porcelain, and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rush out a batch. The Ministry of Internal Affairs took the porcelain and found a lot of kiln masters, but they haven't researched it until now, so they had to find me again. .” Yongen also had a rather smug look on his face.

"Ah, even the emperor likes it. How much taels of silver do you plan to sell this set of tea sets? Also, you put such an expensive thing in this restaurant, what if a customer accidentally hits it?" A Muxin asked.

Before getting married, Amu Xin had no concept of money at all, but after getting married, she knew that Hong Rong's salary to raise a Baylor Mansion was actually not rich. , not much property was assigned to Hong Rong.

Fortunately, Amuxin's natal family gave Amuxin a fairly generous dowry, and with the dividends from the porcelain factory, Amuxin felt that he had a lot more money in his hands, and knew that he would follow Maixiang to buy some property with the surplus money.

"Second sister, this thing is only placed in four private rooms, and the minimum consumption for each private room is five taels of silver. Also, if this thing is broken, you have to pay for it..."

Before Mai Xiang finished speaking, there was a noise outside.
