Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 217 There is no regret medicine in the world

After Huai Ci finished speaking, seeing Mai Xiang in a daze, she hurriedly pushed her and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?"

"No, I was just a little surprised. No wonder many things are always wrong, and the characters are also very contradictory. It turns out that's the case."

"The contradictions between these characters should be clues deliberately left by Mr. to let readers think about it. It's a pity that Mr. is really stubborn and doesn't want the book to come out."

"By the way, brother, why didn't you let me speak out just now? If I told my husband that we plan to open a printing factory by ourselves, would he agree?" Mai Xiang felt a little regretful, today was a good opportunity.

"Sister, let the master do the talking. The master's words are convincing. We just prepare first. And, think about it, this book is given to you by the master. Master must know that you are reading this book now, so you must read it again." I want to teach you a lesson, would you like to?"

"That's true. In addition to the master and brother-in-law, the two of them will definitely be able to convince the husband. By the way, speaking of preparations, brother, you go to choose a piece of land outside the city, and we should build a yard by ourselves as a printing factory. If you are free during this time, I will leave all these matters to you, brother, and register the property in your name."

Mai Xiang knew that Huaici did not lack this little money, so she didn't bother with him, and most importantly, she didn't want to merge with Ye's family for Mai Xiang's private property, so of course she could only register it in Huaici's name Homeownership.

"No, let's use your father-in-law's name, and it will be your dowry in the future." Huai Ci didn't want to take advantage of Mai Xiang, he knew that this was what Mai Xiang wanted to do.

"Are you fussing with me?" Mai Xiang was unwilling.

And when she went to Ye's house, Mai Xiang had to spend a lot of time explaining to Ye Dafu. Recently, she felt that Ye Dafu seemed to be more and more polite to her. She didn't like this kind of politeness. Of course, the most important thing was that she also had her own selfishness.

"Don't worry about it, mine belongs to my daughter-in-law anyway." Seeing that Mai Xiang was angry, Huai Ci quickly turned his head around.

"It's not too bad." Mai Xiang smiled when she heard this.

Huai Ci finally couldn't hold back, and reached out to touch Mai Xiang's smiling face, but Mai Xiang turned around and ran away with a smile.

In the evening, when Mai Xiang was packing her things, Ye Dafu came in and silently watched Mai Xiang tidy up her baggage. Mai Xiang easily understood the reluctance in Ye Dafu's eyes.

"Father, I was going to find you. Come back to the city with us tomorrow. Let's go to receive the happy news together, and then the family will have fun at the restaurant. Uncle Fifth's son will be full moon in a few days."

"Girl, it's not that Dad doesn't want to go, it's just that Dad and your mother don't know anything, can't even say a word, and going there will only cause you trouble and lose face."

"Father, why do you think so? As the saying goes, a son does not dislike his mother's ugliness, and a dog does not dislike his family's poverty. How can a son or daughter despise his father and mother ashamed?" Mai Xiang stepped forward to support Ye Dafu, but this said When she came out, she felt a little guilty. She really looked down on Mrs. Zhao.

"Really? You really think so?" Ye Dafu's eyes lit up.

"Of course, Dad, Mom, I'm just a little irritable, annoyed that she always quarrels with me because of outsiders, nothing else." Mai Xiang took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"Okay, this is Daddy's good girl. Daddy listens to you and will accompany you into the city. Daddy is also going to visit your fifth uncle's son." Ye Dafu heaved a sigh of relief and patted his daughter's head.

"Hey, you two, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Liu came in.

"No, I was just telling my father about going to the city."

"Mai Xiang, come on, talk to Mammy too." Mrs. Liu sat down on the kang, Ye Dafu thought Mrs. Liu had some women's topic to say to Mai Xiang, so he packed his things and went out under the pretext.

"By the way, Mammy, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu's son is about to be full moon."

"I was about to tell you this too. I was thinking, your fifth aunt gave birth to a baby for the first time, I'd better go to the capital to see her, she is also a poor girl, forget about the past, your fifth uncle's life It’s getting better, it’s a good life for someone to enjoy such a blessing, and I won’t be such a wicked person anymore.”

"It's great that Mammy thinks so. It just so happens that my parents are also going to the city, and they also said to visit Uncle Wu's children."

Mai Xiang said yes, but she was still a little worried. It would definitely be awkward to live together, because Li's psychological shadow is too deep. It seems that Wufu is going to buy a house in the capital.

"That's it, I'm worried that your old aunt has left without company." Liu Shi was very happy to hear this. She knew that Mai Xiang was busy and had very little time to spend with Jiufeng. no the same.Not only do they have companions to go out for a stroll, Mai Xiang will also give them pocket money, and Jiufeng's share is indispensable.

"Okay, then go and pack your things. We'll leave early tomorrow morning, it'll be cooler."

"Ah? So early? Forget it, you go first, anyway, the two carriages are also crowded, and we have a lot of things to bring, and these clothes and so on must be packed properly. When you arrive, you will send another carriage back to pick it up." Let's go."

When Mai Xiang heard this, the other party planned to live in the capital for a long time, and it seemed that she really wanted to mend her relationship with Li Shi.

While thinking about it, Mrs. Liu asked again: "Mai Xiang, tell the mother that you are in the city, besides the Wangfu and the Gege family, who else do you know?"

"Families I know? Oh, and my master's family, there's really nothing else." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Mommy, did Mammy Wan ask you to inquire about this? "

"Of course not, Mammy just asked casually."

Liu's expression was a bit unnatural, which made Mai Xiang a little confused.

"Mother, brother said, are we really going to live in the city?" Jiufeng suddenly ran over happily.

"Well, do you like it?" Mrs. Liu touched her daughter's smiling face.

Mai Xiang looked at Jiufeng, who was already a little bit long. Jiufeng was more beautiful than Mai Xiang. She had already turned thirteen years old, and she would be fourteen. When she reached the age of a matchmaker, it was no wonder that Mammy asked if she still knew her. What family.Mai Xiang somewhat understood Liu's intentions.

With how much she loves Jiufeng, how could she be willing to marry Jiufeng to a farmer's family? After entering the city, she slowly searched for it. In three or four years, she could always find a good family in the city. people.

But at this time, in the Wanjia in the capital, when the old lady Wan told the good news that Huaici had won the linsheng, the expressions of the people in the Wanjia could be described as varied.

Mrs. Wan was smiling, Wan Chengyao was stunned, Wan Zhigao was envious and disappointed, Wan Baocai was a bit surprised, but the surprise didn't last for a minute, and it was replaced by "Brother Gao won the prize." No?"

"I don't know. I'm also in a hurry, so I rushed back."

"No, mother, this list won't be released until the day after tomorrow. Where did you get the news?" Wan Chengyao came to his senses.

"Who said it wasn't? There was a letter sent by a man in his thirties surnamed Ji, saying that he was Brother Yuan's master and Tanhua of Jinke."

"Ji Yun? How did Huai Ci know him? I heard that he is a talented person. He was Xie Yuan in the previous two provincial examinations. Later, he missed the examination because he stayed at home for a funeral." Wan Chengyao still heard about Ji Xiaolan. .

"You know him?" Mrs. Wan asked hurriedly.

"I don't know him, but I have heard of him. I heard that the emperor admired his talent and learning very much during the palace examination. It is really a blessing for Brother Yuan to worship under him."

"Unfortunately, it would be great if Brother Gao could also worship him as a teacher." Mrs. Wan unconsciously said what was in her heart.

"Master and old lady, I just said that the Feng Shui of Brother Yuan's house is good. You see, Brother Yuan was selected as a scholar just a few days after he moved in. He is still a granary student, and he can worship Jinke Tanhua as his teacher. If we had moved in at the beginning, Brother Gao would have borrowed all of it, teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is also teaching." Mrs. Wan rolled her eyes and said these words.

She already knew from the maids that the old lady had given Mai Xiang a pair of vases from the Xuande period, so she had to resort to another trick. Just be on guard.

"But that child is unwilling, what can we do?" Wan Baocai said.

"If it's against him, I'm still his old man." Wan Chengyao was dissatisfied.

"Okay, then what do you think we should do?" Mrs. Wan glared at her son dissatisfied. If they had treated this son a little earlier, how could it be that he is not a father and a son?
"It's easy for me to say. We should have moved in directly. Didn't he dare to kick us out?" Wan Chengyao said.

"He doesn't kick out, but someone will." Wan Baocai said.

Wan Chengyao was stupefied when he heard this, yes, there is Mai Xiang behind Huai Ci, and behind Mai Xiang there is Prince Li, and Prince Li is unhappy, so it’s no wonder his Wan family has good fruits to eat?

"Grandpa, grandma, parents, what do you mean, do you think I failed the exam again this time? Do you think I must be inferior to my second brother?" Wan Zhigao was irritated. He has been held in the hands of everyone since he was a child I grew up here.

"No, my darling grandson will definitely pass the exam. Mammy just went to beg the Bodhisattva for you, and my darling grandson will definitely pass the exam." Mrs. Wan comforted.

It suddenly occurred to her that just after they returned from making a wish on the mountain, someone came to deliver a letter saying that Huai Ci had passed the exam. Does this mean that Mai Xiang's wish came true again?Since Huai Ci was able to pass the exam, Wan Zhigao, who is also the grandson of the Wan family, could also pass the exam.

Thinking of this, old lady Wan suddenly felt that if Wan Chengyao hadn't retired, Mai Xiang would have been Wan Zhigao's daughter-in-law, and everything that Huaici has now belonged to Wan Zhigao, so why worry about a scholar now? ?
Madam Wan thought so, and Wan Chengyao thought so too. If Ji Xiaolan didn't take Huaici as his disciple for Prince Li's sake?If this Huaici is not Prince Li, can he buy that piece of land and build a house?

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
