Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 225 Chapter 220 Four
When Mrs. Wan saw the two little girls coming back crying, she knew that the two of them must not have gotten cheap from Mai Xiang and the others. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up.

"Girl Lian, girl He, what does mother usually teach you?" Mrs. Wan asked with a sullen face.

She was worried that Mrs. Wan would take the opportunity to find another excuse to harass her, saying that she had not taught her children well.
"Mother, they are bad people. They cursed that our Wan family will soon become poor." Wan Zhilian said, wiping her tears.

"What? Who cursed our Wan family?" Mrs. Wan deliberately raised her voice and asked.

Because she knew that old lady Wan was the most superstitious in these things, and sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw her mother-in-law's face darkened quite a bit.

"Mrs. Wan, you misunderstood. None of us cursed the Wan family. It was the two younger sisters who misunderstood. We were just discussing the principle that fortune and misfortune depend on each other." Mai Xiang explained without being humble.

At this time, Wan Chengyao on the other side of the screen heard the cries of the two daughters and the yelling of his wife, he also frowned, and sent Huai Ci in to ask what happened.

When Huai Ci came in, he happened to see the two younger sisters complaining to the aunt, so he walked up to Mai Xiang and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

After hearing this, Huaici stopped looking at other people, turned around and went out, and said to Wan Chengyao: "Father, it's because the two younger sisters didn't understand what others said, which caused a little misunderstanding."

After hearing this, Ye Dafu guessed that some of his daughters might be offended by others. He knew that his daughters, under Mai Xiang's training, would not scold others at all.

"That's it for today, big brother, we'll be closer from now on, and we'll walk around a lot." Ye Tiezhu didn't have the mood to stay any longer.

"Okay, we've been brothers for decades, it's not easy." Wan Baocai was also a little moved.

After the sixtieth year of life, people look down on fame, fortune and wealth a lot, but they pay more attention to family and friendship than before.What's more, the other party is still a brother who grew up with him, a brother who once saved his life.

At this time, the old lady Wan on the other side of the screen still had a gloomy face. She was not angry with Mai Xiang, but with her granddaughter. That's all, I still lost to Mai Huang, and I don't know what the daughter-in-law here teaches all day long, but others will only cry.

"Sister-in-law, it's common for children to quarrel. Those girls in my family came here like this, and they get annoyed for a while, or how to put it, the faces of children are just like the summer weather. Change." Liu advised.

Just as Mrs. Wan was about to speak, she saw Wan Chengyao coming in.

"Second Aunt, just now we have made an agreement with Second Uncle. In a few days, our Wanjia will set up a few tables of wine, and it will be lively. When the date is fixed, I will personally invite Second Uncle and Aunt."

"Okay, it should be, both sons have been selected as scholars, such a big happy event, but it must be very lively. The second aunt will definitely go." Liu agreed.

"The children's grandma is also here, please come along with this aunt." Wan Chengyao did not forget Yu Shi and Dachun beside Zhao Shi.

"Oh, we're going too? No, no, we won't make trouble." Seeing Wan Chengyao taking the initiative to talk to him, Mrs. Yu was a little frightened.This is the legendary Mr. Guan, and it is daunting to look at.

"Mother, why is this adding to the chaos? Young Master is a scholar, so why don't you have a drink at the wedding." Mrs. Zhao doesn't care about the Wan family anymore.

"Then it's settled." Wan Chengyao didn't want to make false claims with a country woman, so he asked his two daughters to help old lady Wan to leave.

Ye Dafu and the others originally wanted to go back to the countryside after having full moon wine and a congratulatory banquet, but Wan's family insisted that he couldn't leave.

Wanjia's congratulatory banquet was held five days later, and the venue was Wanjia's compound. Naturally, Mai Xiang didn't go, Mai Xiang didn't go, and Mai Huang and the others didn't want to go, but it was Ziju who happily put on her new dress. Good Xia Yi, just ran to find Jiufeng, and the two girls got into the carriage talking and laughing.

However, if Mai Xiang could predict what would happen next, she would never let Zi Ju get into the carriage no matter what.

Now let's say that Ye Dafu and his party have arrived at Wanjia. Wanjia has set up a total of twenty tables of wine this time. Wan Chengyao invited some colleagues in the officialdom, and some are friends of Wanbaocai's business. Also came some.

During the dinner, everyone was full of praise for the two sons of the Wan family, especially Huai Ci, surrounded by a lot of people, because Wan Chengyao had already disclosed Huai Ci's relationship with Ji Xiaolan as a teacher and apprentice. Ci is Prince Li's brother-in-law. Although he is not close, Prince Li has never avoided suspicion in protecting his god-sister. Aren't these people in the officialdom like human beings?

In the past 19 years, Wan Zhigao has been neglected for the first time. He has always been a proud and arrogant person. It is a lie to say that he will not be disappointed or jealous. That country girl originally belonged to him. How could he be so stupid and insist on forcing him to What kind of marriage did my father withdraw? If he didn't want to marry her back then, he could just come and be his concubine. Now, isn't everything about Huaici his?
Also, Wan Zhigao already knew from his wife that his future sibling is the country girl who helped him match up. He thought about it carefully. The identity of the girl, did this girl start planning to take revenge on him at that time?

At this time, Wan Zhigao was already blinded by jealousy and loss, and he didn't think about it at all, but Mai Xiang refused to enter Wan's family several times.

Wan Zhigao drank some wine in this situation, and soon became a little drunk. He sneaked into the backyard of Wan's family while everyone was not paying attention.

The house of the Wan family is not small, it is a courtyard with three entrances, and there is a small garden in the backyard. Wan Zhigao wants to get some fresh air in the garden, he needs to be alone and quiet.

At this time, Ziju was originally eating in the flower hall inside the second gate. The flower hall was full of female relatives, and of course there were many little girls. Ziju looked around, although she was wearing a new dress, but she She is still the most shabby of the little girls present, her arms are stretched out, either gold bracelets or jade bracelets, no one hangs a jade pendant on her waist, and on her head, there are either gold hairpins or pearl hairpins, she is the only one , only wearing a pair of fake flowers.

Seeing someone looking at her with contemptuous eyes during the dinner, Ziju couldn't help but feel very depressed, just as she had almost finished eating, she also wanted to come out to get some air.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ziju came out of the door, she saw the back of a man stumbled into a round door. Ziju knew that it was the back garden. When they first came, they had already gone to the garden. visited.

Looking at the man's back, it is obvious that he has drunk too much, but who is the other party?This time the other party entered the back garden, could it be that he was going to have a private meeting with someone?
Thinking of this, Ziju became curious and followed the man into the back garden.

Wan Zhigao sat down behind a clump of cannas, and Ziju looked at him not far away. She had met Wan Zhigao once when Fuyun came that day, and of course recognized that the man in front of her was the legitimate son and grandson of the Wan family. , is much more favored than Huaici.According to Jiufeng, the huge family property of the Wan family will be handed over to this man named Wan Zhigao.

This kind of man is what Ziju should marry, and the life of a rich man is what Ziju should live. She remembered what Maixiang scolded her in Ruijinxiang that day, and she couldn't help but feel her heart and teeth. Bite, and walked to Wan Zhigao's side.

"Who are you?" Wan Zhigao was a little wary when he saw the person coming.

"I'm Mai Xiang's eldest cousin. We met in Fuyunlai. What are you doing here?" Ziju squatted down.

"Mai Xiang's cousin?" Wan Zhigao thought of the source of his distress.

"Are you unhappy?" Ziju didn't understand.

Today is his congratulatory banquet, how could he be unhappy when he was selected as a scholar?Also, his family is so rich, why should he be unhappy?

"Hehe, even you can see that I'm unhappy? I'm so obvious?"

"Because when I'm unhappy, I like to hide alone." Ziju said.

"Really? Then you stay with me for a while." Wan Zhigao drank some wine, and his thinking was naturally abnormal. At this moment, he just wanted to catch someone to talk to, and it was best to be a considerate woman.

"Okay, it just so happens that I'm not happy either." Zi Ju took advantage of the situation and sat down too. She grew up in the country, and sitting on the ground is a common occurrence for country people.

"Then tell me why you are unhappy?" Wan Zhigao asked, looking at her with his head tilted.

"My family is very poor, and I have always been looked down upon by others. I can't even eat enough. How can I be happy?" Zi Ju didn't deny that she knew that the reason why the other party divorced Mai Xiang was because she thought Ye's family was poor. Can't live.

"But isn't your cousin very capable?" Wan Zhigao thought that Ziju was talking about the present, so he looked at Ziju's clothes.

"It's only good in the past two years. Our family borrowed some light, and she gave me this dress." Ziju originally wanted to slander Mai Xiang, but when she thought about it, the other party mentioned that Mai Xiang was very capable. , maybe she regretted not marrying Mai Xiang, so she changed her mind.She's not stupid, the people behind Mai Xiang can't even curry favor with Wan Jia.

"Oh, really? Then tell me about your cousin Mai Xiang."

Seeing Wan Zhigao asking, Zi Ju told all she knew, even though she didn't want to, and of course, she didn't forget to describe how Mai Xiang took care of their relatives, especially her family, where every brother and brother were there. Mai Xiang works here.

This story is very long to tell, Wan Zhigao drank a little wine, he felt drowsy already, and the girl's delicate voice just became a lullaby, and he fell in love with Ziju unconsciously.

　Ha ha, the topic has been harmonized.One more tonight.
