Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 229 The Truth
"Okay, sister, I really have nothing to do with you." Yong En held back Mai Xiang who was about to leave, for this sister, he really couldn't put on airs like a prince.

It turns out that the person who kidnapped Mai Xiang back then was indeed Ah Gui.Agui returned to Beijing quickly from Jiangxi that year, and the members of Zhang Jia's family were somewhat elated, because the emperor thought of Agui again, which showed that Agui's day of reuse was not far away.

And Agui's first thought when he heard about this dream was that it was absurd, and then, when he thought about it, it was more fear, because if Mai Xiang leaked this dream and was used by someone with a heart, he would not only It will not be reused, otherwise it will bring him a disaster of death.

That's why, regardless of the old lady's dissuasion, he directly kidnapped Mai Xiang. The purpose was to test whether Mai Xiang was reliable or not.

"Fortunately, you didn't say anything that day." Yong En looked at Mai Xiang and said.

If Mai Xiang didn't stand the test that day, the current Mai Xiang must be covered with weeds on the grave. Every time he thinks of this, Yong En feels a little scared.

"What I don't understand is, since I have withstood the test, why did he put me to death?" This is the most unforgivable thing for Mai Xiang, so later, she almost broke off contact with Zhang Jia's family. Amusin is not as close as Uladomin.

"You really wronged him for this. When the old lady knew that he was going to kidnap you, the first request she made was that if you could keep the secret, she must protect your life. That day, I heard that they threw you in the In the yard, there is a big stone in the yard, which is prepared for you to escape. They wanted to test your ability, but after they walked out, they thought that the stone was not sharp enough. I am afraid that you have not waited for you to break the rope. You were frozen, so they turned around and threw you into the woodshed because there was a hatchet in the woodshed."

"At that time, I was only a ten-year-old girl. My hands and feet were tied, my eyes were covered, and my mouth was also gagged. If he let me escape like this, wouldn't he think highly of me? What if I If I can’t escape, one night is enough to freeze me to death.”

"How can it be? He just wanted to test your ability and see if you really had some background. Early the next morning, his men went to the small courtyard. If you haven't escaped, they will try to let you escaped."

After listening to Mai Xiang's chills for a while, she refused to accept this set of rhetoric. This is an excuse. Mai Xiang has not forgotten that the door is still locked quite tightly. Agui's purpose is to let herself die, just to avoid Against his mother's will, Mai Xiang can only be left to fend for herself.

It seems that Zhang Jia and Agui are really thoughtful and ruthless, even a ten-year-old girl is not easy to let go, with so much thought, such a person is a genuine general.

Seeing Mai Xiang trembling, Yong En quickly said: "Sister, there is no need to be afraid, he will not come to hurt you again, on the contrary, he admires you very much, saying that your wit and intelligence are far from your age, if you are a boy, he will I want you to be his subordinate."

Mai Xiang curled her lips when she heard this, she wouldn't work with such a person.Of course, if she knew that Yong En still had half a sentence to say, if she heard that half sentence, I'm afraid she would jump even more angrily.

Because that part of the sentence is that Ah Gui moved to accept Mai Xiang as a concubine. On the one hand, he thinks that Mai Xiang can only be safe if he stays with him. On the other hand, he really thinks that Mai Xiang is a rare woman. It's all up to his neck, and he doesn't panic at all. Such a person is the most suitable to work hard by his side. Besides, Mai Xiang can dream of him being brilliant, which means that this is God's intention, let him keep Mai Xiang by his side , the business will be successful.

However, Agui's idea was interrupted by Yong En, because Yong En told him that he also liked Mai Xiang, and planned to keep Mai Xiang by his side when Mai Xiang died.Naturally, Ah Gui couldn't rob a woman from Baylor's niece and son-in-law at the time.It's just that what happened later, beyond Agui's imagination, Mai Xiang was betrothed by the emperor to an unknown person.

Mai Xiang naturally didn't know that because of this incident, Agui had an opinion on Yongen.Of course, Yong En is a prince, even if Ah Gui knew that Yong En was protecting Mai Xiang, he would have nothing to do with Mai Xiang.

"What did that brother-in-law just say, maybe he will come to me again?" Mai Xiang saw that Yongen lowered his head to ponder something, and then remembered that he still had a key question that he forgot.

"Well, the situation in the northwest is unclear. He has nothing to do with him. It's just that Zhang Jia is an old man after all. I don't know if he can see his son make contributions. I think the old lady is the most important thing. If you care about this issue, maybe I will visit you again."

When Mai Xiang heard that the old lady came to find her, she was really embarrassed. The old lady was somewhat kind to Mai Xiang, and Mai Xiang couldn't bear to let her down, but the problem was, even if Mai Xiang wanted to help her, she would I can't even remember these historical events.

"The problem is, I've told them everything I know, and if they come to me again, I'll still say the same thing."

"Okay, I'm just telling you in advance. Sister, to be honest, I have always thought that you are a person with some background. Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but there is one thing, you remember , Misfortune comes from the mouth, from now on, when speaking to people, remember to be too sincere."

"Understood, including you, brother-in-law?" Mai Xiang giggled after speaking.

"What do you think?" Yong En squinted at Mai Xiang, something flashed in his eyes, but Mai Xiang didn't catch it.

"If there is nothing else, I'll go talk to my sister." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, seeing that Yong En had no objection, she ran away in a hurry.

With Zi Ju's lesson, she doesn't want to be caught by others, even though the other party is her brother-in-law who treats her like her own sister, Mai Xiang is also psychologically prepared.

"Sister, sister, I'm here. Where are the babies, let me see, have they grown up?" Mai Xiang yelled as soon as she entered Uradomin's room.

"No matter how much I teach you, you can't remember. You're still so unruly." Although Uladomin reprimanded him, he smiled all over his face.

"Come on, sister, take a look. I haven't seen you in a few months, and it seems to have grown taller. Oh, your hands are so cold. What did your brother-in-law tell you? I don't know how to prepare a hand stove for you these days." Ula Duo Min took Mai Xiang's hand and gave her a hand stove.

"Sister, it seems that it's going to snow outside, you have to pay more attention, don't let the babies catch cold."

"Got it, that's right, I forgot if you don't tell me, Amuxin's little Gege seems to be sick, and I have found several healers, but they can't help him. If you pour it in again, your face will turn red, what can you do?"

"Well, does she have a fever?"

"Yes, just fever and cough."

"In this case, I'll go to her house to have a look." Mai Xiang hesitated for a moment and said.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Uladomin wanted to get off the kang after finishing speaking.

"Are you two going out?" Yong En came in.

"Go to see Amuxin's child. I heard that the child has been coughing badly. It happens that my sister has a solution. I will accompany my sister for a walk."

"A way? What can my sister do?" Yong En looked at Mai Xiang and asked.

"Brother-in-law forgot, in Shanxi that year, didn't I use tangerine peel and hawthorn to boil water to prevent typhoid fever? In fact, this tangerine peel boiled water can also treat coughs. Children can't eat medicine. Add some honey, sour and sweet. Definitely like it."

"Since that's the case, you can go there. Come back someday when you are free. I still have a lot of bank notes from you. In addition, I also want to tell you about the book "The Story of the Stone."

"Since that's the case, I'll come right back." Mai Xiang was anxious to hear Yong En's opinion on "The Story of the Stone".

"Alright."

When they got into the carriage, Uladomin took Mai Xiang's hand and asked, "Sister, tell me the truth, do you really plan to publish that book?"

"Did my sister watch it too?"

"Read it. I also admit that it is a good book, but there are indeed many insinuations and details in the book. If such a book is really published, it may bring disaster to my sister. I am afraid that At that time, my brother-in-law wanted to protect you, but there was nothing he could do." When Uladomin mentioned the above, he pointed with his finger.

Mai Xiang didn't expect that even Uladomin could see the obstacles in the book, and hurriedly asked, "What's the difference, sister?"

"What are you going to say? I'll tell you when I get back." Uladomin pouted, and there were two boys driving a carriage outside.

Because Mai Xiang was thinking about this matter, she didn't want to stay longer when she arrived at Jinbeile Mansion. Watching Amusin's daughter drank a bowl of tangerine peel and honey water and sweated all over, Mai Xiang wrapped a green onion around the child's chest again, and ordered After saying a few words to Amu Xin, regardless of Amu Xin's persuasion, she dragged Uradomin back to the Prince's Mansion in a hurry.

"Sister, brother-in-law, tell me, what insinuations are written in this book about the imperial court?" Mai Xiang was concerned about this first, because Cao Xueqin would not tell her about this issue.

Yong En glanced at Uladomin, before he could speak, Mai Xiang said: "Brother-in-law, just tell me, my sister didn't tell me anything."

"I thought it was the bank note that made you stay? Don't you like earning money the most?" Yong En couldn't understand why Mai Xiang's eyes lit up when he mentioned that "Story of the Stone".

"Brother-in-law, earning money is earning money, but a person's life is not just for earning money, there should be some other hobbies to pursue."

"Aren't you trying to tell me that the purpose of your earning money is to make this book available?" Yong En asked tentatively.

Because after Mai Xiang had enough silver taels, she had been tinkering with that printing factory for the past six months, which was obviously more attentive than anything else. Mai Xiang never looked at the account books of that porcelain factory, except for a month to send someone to come. Send some drawings.
