Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 249
Uladomin naturally heard Yong En's words, she stepped forward and took Mai Xiang's hand and smiled: "You are heartless, your brother-in-law has been worrying about your affairs, you can't hurt his heart."

"Got it, good sister, one of you is my good sister and the other is my good brother-in-law." Mai Xiang hugged Uladomin coquettishly.

"You still know that I am your good sister. How long have you not come to see me? You see, this baby and Beibei don't know you anymore." Uladomin pushed the twins beside her.

"Who said that? If Baobao and Beibei don't know me, then who should I give this comic book to? Otherwise, give it to my little brother?" Mai Xiang took out three sets of new "San Zi Jing Stories Collection" from her bag 》, squatting in front of the two children.

The little brother is the nickname of Uladomin's second son, his name is Zhaodi, and he is being held in the arms of the wet nurse.

"Hey, this book is out? Let me take a look." Yong En took a set from Mai Xiang and looked through it first.

"Did you draw this all yourself?" Yong En asked.

He has a good understanding of Mai Xiang's painting style. Whether it's characters or animals, they are all for fun and interesting. It's definitely not the kind of conventional painting. Of course, Mai Xiang can't explain it to him. These are called stick cartoons. painting.

"Not all of them. Half of them were drawn by Huai Ci. Besides, these text descriptions were all written by him. They are simple and clear, just suitable for children to read." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she gave the book in her hand to Zhao Lian and Zhao Lian. Han.

"Auntie, I like this book, I can understand it." Five-year-old Zhao Lian was very happy when she saw this album.

"Really? As long as the baby likes it." Mai Xiang patted the baby's face.

"How did this set of books sell?" Yong En asked.

"It's a lot worse than "Weimo", but it's better than the newspaper, at least it didn't lose money." Mai Xiang smiled wryly.

"Ink" has been released three times in a row, and the first edition is reprinted. Because of the comments of Ji Xiaolan and each other, it is sold out every time it comes out. Moreover, many booksellers from other places come to pick up the goods.

It's just that the effect of other books is much worse. These days, people from the book club are selling this picture album to various private schools, and the effect is not very obvious.

"You didn't ask your second brother-in-law, he is now in charge of Zhenghuangqi's Jueluo school, those children are in need of such books." Yong En laughed.

"Really? I went to my second sister's house several times a few days ago, and my second brother-in-law didn't mention it. It seems that I have to give my second sister a little bit of trouble. If I can't sell a thousand copies, I will give you my dividend this year." I won't give it to her." Mai Xiang gritted her teeth and said.

Uladomin chuckled, nodded Mai Xiang's head with his index finger, and said with a smile, "What a child."

"Elder Sister, don't underestimate the dividends from my book club. Although you only have one share, you still have thousands of taels of silver. Second Sister will feel distressed when she finds out. She calls every day to save the dowry for Little Gege."

Hongrong's two side Fujin gave birth to two more children, and Amusin was moved to learn from Uradomin, and saved the dividends from the porcelain factory and book club as a private house, preparing to keep it for her children.

"Okay, we know your ability, we are all waiting for you to raise us." Uladomin pursed his lips and smiled.

"Eldest sister, what you said hurt brother-in-law's heart. I dare not take credit from brother-in-law. Brother-in-law is really kind to elder sister now. At home..." Mai Xiang didn't finish her sentence when Wanxia came in and said Gong There are people here.

After hearing this, Yong En hurried out, Uladomin took Mai Xiang to sit down, and sent the nanny to take the children down.

"What do you want to tell me, sister?"

"A few days ago, your brother-in-law told me that he met you once in your restaurant. You child, you may have suffered a lot of grievances at home, so why didn't you know how to refuse? That kind of occasion is also what a girl like you should go to."

Mai Xiang didn't expect that Uladomin would tell her this, smiled wryly, and said, "I see, it won't happen again, that's the first time."

After thinking for a while, Mai Xiang asked: "Sister, what do you think is more important in a person's life? Is it the kind of love and mutual affection between husband and wife that is more important, or the superficial glitz?"

"How do you say this?"

"My family has a cousin who followed my parents to Wan's house as a guest, and designed to be the concubine of the young master of Wan's family. Wan's family gave 100 taels of silver to my aunt's house. Several cousins ​​in my grandma's house were tempted and begged me Help them introduce a rich family. Not only that, the person on the blind date that day was my old aunt. It was a good marriage, but unfortunately she gave up because of her vanity. Not only that, but also caused my mother to fall ill on the spot. In fact, this In the past few years, those poor relatives in my family have had a much better life. They have built houses and bought some land, but they always feel that I am not good enough. Is it wrong to live a good life with your own hands? Why do you want to take shortcuts?"

Mai Xiang has been complained a lot these days, and she is suffocating a lot, especially about Jiufeng, the Wu family's conditions are more than enough for Jiufeng, but she doesn't know it.

"Women have had a good time in the past few years. You are as capable as everyone else? Marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating, who doesn't want to marry a richer family, not only can they have security for the rest of their lives, but also the future. Children can also be guaranteed, even if she is a concubine, her life is much better than that of ordinary poor people. Poor families can't even have enough to eat, and poor and lowly couples are sad. At that time, there was no love between two people. Do you really think that sentient beings are full of water?"

"But it's better to be a concubine in the past, right?"

"Sister, why are you so against being a concubine?" Uladomin didn't understand Mai Xiang's thinking. If Mai Xiang hadn't been so firm at the beginning, Uladomin would definitely have taken Mai Xiang into the palace, because she knew, Yong En has an inexplicable affection for Mai Xiang.

Although Yongen has been restraining himself, women's hearts are more sensitive. Uladomin once asked Yongen if he should keep Mai Xiang by his side. Yongen locked himself for two hours, and when he came out, he hugged his wife and said , he has more family affection for Mai Xiang, because Mai Xiang is only family affection for him, and there is absolutely no personal relationship between men and women. Therefore, he only wants to make Mai Xiang happy and let Mai Xiang do what he wants to do. He kept Mai Xiang safe and sound within his own ability.
Uladomin had never told Mai Xiang about this matter, and when Mai Xiang talked about this topic today, Uladomin finally asked.

"Sister, being a concubine means marrying someone else's husband and sharing someone else's husband. Women are selfish. Who wants to share their own husband with others? Also, there are so many men in the world. Why do you want to snatch other people's husbands? Sister, don't tell me that there are so many women around my brother-in-law, so my sister doesn't feel bad?"

It is not clear how many women are around Yong En, but Uladomin is definitely not the only one.

"Good sister, all men are greedy. Who can guarantee that he only needs one? Besides, a man is heaven. If a woman is jealous, if she is not careful, she will be divorced and returned to her natal family. You, don't tell Huai Ci in the future. That's all, be careful that he is not happy. As long as he has you in his heart, what are you afraid of?"

Mai Xiang smiled, no one can convince anyone of this point of view.

"By the way, I remember that when Huaici made an engagement with you, he promised that he would only marry you. Is it because of this that my sister accepted him?" Seeing Mai Xiang smiling, Uladomin took Mai Xiang's hand asked.

She has always felt that with Mai Xiang's intelligence, she must have understood the prince's mind long ago, and with the prince's regard for Mai Xiang, Mai Xiang entered the palace. However, he had an affair with an unknown boy early on, and Huaici at that time was nothing but a poor boy who was begging for a living in Liulichang.

These two people are in the sky and the other is in the earth. If it were any other woman, they would definitely not make such a choice as Mai Xiang.Although this marriage was arranged by the emperor, if there was no personal relationship between the two, even if Uladomin was killed, Huaici would not believe that Huaici would accompany Mai Xiang to vaccinate.

"It's not all because of this. In fact, I didn't expect to make a decision with him so quickly. When I was still hesitating, he made a choice first."

While talking, Mai Xiang remembered that Huaici rushed into the small courtyard and hugged herself who was feverish because of the cowpox trial, and said that she didn't want to face fear alone, even in the face of death, she didn't want to let herself be alone. At that time, Mai Xiang was really tempted.

"It's cheap for him. This kid is also a smart one. He knows to start early, otherwise it will be his turn? But I see that he is really worried about you. This woman, what are you doing in this life? You are not short of money now. Now, there is such a person who loves you by my side, and we, Mai Xiang, are considered a blessed woman." Uladomin stroked Mai Xiang's head, recalling the hardships that Mai Xiang had suffered before, and said a few words with emotion.

After returning from Uradomin, Mai Xiang went to A Muxin's house, gave Hong Rong a set of sample books, and then conveyed Yong En's meaning, Hong Rong naturally agreed.

Hong Rong's work efficiency is really fast. Not only Zhenghuang Qi, he also contacted the Jue Luoxue directors of several other banners. Each banner took away a thousand volumes of comic books from Mai Xiang. He was so happy that Mai Xiang read the account book. Then he hurriedly came to the door and said that he would give Hong Rong a commission, in exchange for Amu Xin's eyes.
On this day, Mai Xiang came out from the publishing house and planned to go back to the countryside to live for a while, because the day of Qiaoyu's marriage is coming, and the day of Bafu's marriage is almost here. There was a lot of goose feather and heavy snow.It looks like this winter will be colder than usual.

When Mai Xiang saw the heavy snow coming, she would not be able to go out, so she had to do some needlework by herself. When she was bored, she saw Mrs. Li coming to the door with her son in her arms.
