Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 246
Mrs. Liu also understood the meaning of Mrs. Wan's unfinished sentence. Thinking of the maid who died unjustly, Mrs. Liu's heart trembled.

"Sister-in-law, tell me, is it like playing with a young wife like you rich and powerful families? How sincere can you be?"

The old lady Wan laughed when she heard this, and said: "Sisters and sisters, people like us are nothing in the capital. The real high-ranking families are the families of princes, Baylor and other royal relatives, or the families of first- and second-rank officials. People like them ask for a concubine, which is more formal than people like us. I heard that concubines are classified into grades, just like those in the palace. Such a family can be carried in a sedan chair."

"So many wives?" Liu Shi was a little interested when he heard it.

"Is there more? These are the famous ones, and those who have no titles and titles are more. They are fresh for a few days. If you are lucky, you may be able to raise a aunt if you are lucky. If you are unlucky, you will throw it away. Either it was rewarded to a servant or it was sold, it’s all possible.”

"Ah? And this thing? This..." Liu's heart was in a mess again.

"Why did my siblings ask about these things today?" Mrs. Wan felt something was wrong after she finished speaking. She hadn't seen Mrs. Liu inquire about these things in these years. What did she want to do?
"It's nothing, I just feel that my daughter is going to talk about kissing, and I'm a little uneasy. I'm worried that your big family has some rules that we don't understand. Let's ask and understand first." Liu smiled sarcastically.

"Hey, the Wu family is just a small family. Even if there are concubines, they are just one or two girls. What kind of trouble can they make?" After hearing this, Mrs. Wan did not doubt him.

Mrs. Liu didn't waver anymore after hearing this, pulled herself together, took Mrs. Wan's hand, and asked the Wu family for more details. The two agreed on a day to invite the matchmaker to see each other, and Mrs. Wan stayed to eat. Just leave after dinner.

Five days later, Mai Xiang and Ba Fu returned to the city. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw two carriages parked in front of the gate. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Wu Fu coming out of the upper room accompanied by four or five men. He glanced at Mai Xiang and Ba Fu, then looked elsewhere.

Wu Fu was very happy to see Mai Xiang and Ba Fu, and said, "Eighth brother, Mai Xiang, this is from the Chang and Wu families. Today is my mother's gift to your old lady..."

Before Wu Fu finished speaking, Mai Xiang heard laughter from the upper room, Mai Xiang understood what Wu Fu meant, and said, "Uncle Wu, you are busy, I'll go to the upper room to have a look."

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she walked up to the room, and as soon as she opened the curtain, she heard Mrs. Liu say with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, our Ye family also has five sons, but these sons of mine have separated. Everyone has the best life. He bought this yard, but he lives in the country for a longer time of the year, and only comes to live there for a few days during the winter. The second and third children both stayed in the country, and their homes were built He said he was used to living in a big house, and he didn’t want to move. The fourth son went to the city and bought a big yard nearby. He and the eldest son opened a restaurant in the city. There is a big house built in the country, and I want to get married. I said that I want to buy a yard in the city and live with us. Let me say that it is good to have the countryside in the countryside, and there are cities in the city. Good here."

"No, Mrs. Wu, these sons of the old sister-in-law's family are all up, and the old sister-in-law has only this girl, can these brothers lose their only sister?" someone said.

Mai Xiang identified it carefully, the voice was that Mrs. Shi, what kind of family did the Liu family meet?

"Yes, it can be seen that this girl is delicate, with delicate skin and tender flesh, otherwise, who would be able to tell that she came from the country?" Another voice said.

"Mother, let me tell you that compared with others, we are from the countryside. Look, this cup for drinking tea is much more refined than ours. Mother, look again, this little girl The clothes on his body are still made of satin, tsk tsk, but you can compare us, the third brother is blessed." A slightly younger voice said.

After hearing this, Mai Xiang looked at herself. She had just come from the countryside, and she was afraid that the road would be unsafe. She only wore a cotton dress and a woolen waistcoat, so she went in like this. In case the other party saw her like this It's so shabby, if this marriage goes wrong, maybe the nanny will blame herself.Anyway, Mai Xiang still hopes that Jiufeng can find a good family and live with them with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang planned to go back and change her clothes before coming back, but when she turned to leave, the door curtain in the room suddenly opened, and a young woman in her twenties came out from inside, wearing a sapphire blue dark pattern silk padded jacket, her lower body was A black cotton skirt, a silver-red coat with big hair, and two gold hairpins on her hair. Mai Xiang looked like a normal host's dress.

Seeing Mai Xiang, the other party thought Mai Xiang was a maid, and asked, "Where is your toilet?"

Maple Leaf said: "Turn left when you go out the door, walk forward a few dozen steps, then turn right, and you will be able to see it."

At this time, Hongye heard the voices outside, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to come out. When she saw Mai Xiang, she was very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow her knees to say hello.

"Miss, it's true, I'm finally willing to come out." Hongye said while wiping her tears.

"Miss?" the young woman looked at Mai Xiang and asked.

At this time, the people in the house also heard the movement outside, and Li Shi came out. Mai Xiang thought that it would be inappropriate not to ask her, so she lifted the curtain and entered the house.

There were six or seven people sitting on the kang in the room. Mai Xiang naturally greeted Mrs. Wan first, then Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Shi and three strange women.

Mrs. Liu was really displeased when she saw Mai Xiang's body, and said, "This is Mrs. Wu, these two are the eldest grandma and the second grandma of the Wu family, go and change."

After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she said to Mrs. Wu: "My granddaughter has just come from the country. She has always been cautious. Every time she goes out, she always likes to wear old clothes from the country, saying that it is not eye-catching."

Mai Xiang didn't explain after hearing this, but instead took a look at Jiufeng. Jiufeng dressed up specially today. Her upper body was a pink satin padded jacket, her lower body was a light green long flowered skirt, and her coat was a moon-white dew. Wearing a wind-haired waistcoat, sitting on the kang, she has a somewhat charming appearance. Mai Xiang also specially noticed that Jiufeng was wearing a pair of twisted gold bracelets on her hands. Very slender and white.

"Girl, it's fine if you don't want to change, sit here with Madam Wan, what have you been up to lately?" Mrs. Wan greeted Mai Xiang, then smiled and said to the women of the Wu family: "This is my second daughter who has never been through the door. Granddaughter-in-law."

After hearing this, the women of Wu's family burst into smiles and said: "This girl, at first glance, is a generous and elegant girl, she looks good in anything she wears."

Mai Xiang didn't criticize it when she heard it, and said with a smile: "Elders, sit down for a while, and I will come as soon as I go."

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she went back to her room and changed into a silk dress. Maple Leaf combed Mai Xiang's hair again, and didn't use any jewelry, but wrapped it with colored thread for a little bit, because Mai Xiang guessed that Liu's definitely didn't want it either. I overshadowed Jiufeng's limelight.

"Hey, why didn't you see my grandpa?" Mai Xiang suddenly thought of Ye Tiezhu.

"Miss, isn't Fifth Master here?"

Mai Xiang understood the meaning of Fengye's words, and quickly figured it out. The Liu family probably thought that Ye Tiezhu's village spirit could not be used, so he called Wu Fu and Li's family back to support the front.

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang felt very uncomfortable. This Jiufeng is ignorant, how could this Liu family follow these vanity, no matter how hard this Ye Tiezhu can't do it, he is also Jiufeng's biological father, how could it be the first blind date? Did your father leave it aside?How sad is this being a father?
"Let's go, let's go see the old man first." Mai Xiang got up and walked to the room where the old man lived, and she really saw the old man and Ba Fu hiding at the second door, looking out.

"Grandpa, if you want to see it, go out and have a look."

"No, what do you think of the other party?"

"Grandpa, I have to ask Uncle Ba about this."

There were so many people just now, Mai Xiang also glanced at each other, not paying attention at all, which one is Jiufeng's blind date.

"That's right. Grandpa is confused. Do you think the women in their family are easy to get along with?"

"Grandpa, I just met him, and I didn't even say a word. How can I tell? But I am very happy to see Mammy. Grandpa should go out and have a look."

Ye Tiezhu looked at himself and shook his head.

Ye Tiezhu has been a farmer all his life, and from head to toe, everything is branded as a farmer. Mai Xiang prepared two long gowns for him, but Ye Tiezhu always felt awkward after wearing them.

From Ye Tiezhu Maixiang to Ye Dafu, Ye Dafu also doesn't like to wear long gowns, saying that he is an authentic farmer, wearing long gowns is also fake elegance, and people can see through it at a glance.

Seeing that Ye Tiezhu couldn't be persuaded, Mai Xiang thought about it, and then let Ye Tiezhu take Fengye to the front.

"Mai Xiang, come on, I am about to send someone to call you. Today, you are the host of Madam Wan, and you are invited to go to the restaurant in Fuyun. I am thinking about the restaurant I opened. How could Mama Wan let you The reason for paying the money is for your fifth uncle to arrange, you go and call your eighth uncle, let's go too, you stay with your old aunt well." Liu said, holding Mai Xiang's hand.

Mai Xiang was taken aback when she heard that, it seemed that the Wan family really wanted to make this marriage, and the Liu family was quite satisfied with the Wu family, otherwise, it would be the first time they saw each other, so they would take Jiufeng out to have dinner together reason?

Mai Xiang glanced at Jiufeng, Jiufeng's expression was indifferent, she couldn't tell how happy she was, but she couldn't tell how depressed she was either.

At this moment, no matter how unwilling she was, Mai Xiang couldn't say no to it, so she had to follow everyone out the door.

Unexpectedly, by coincidence, as soon as Mai Xiang and his party arrived at the gate of Fuyunlai, they saw Yong En get off the sedan chair.
