Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 252 Don't want to be famous
Seeing her husband and Yong En coming in at the same time, Amu suddenly remembered that Uladomin said that Yong En asked her to hug Mai Xiang for him, so he narrowly looked at Mai Xiang and smiled: "It's not Mai Xiang who made trouble, just now The eldest sister said that she wanted to hug her for her brother-in-law, but she refused, so she asked her brother-in-law to hug her if she wanted to."

When Hong Rong and Yong En heard this, they looked at Mai Xiang in astonishment, and Mai Xiang pushed Amu Xin towards Hong Rong in a panic, and said, "It's what the second brother-in-law is used to, what, can you say that? "

Although Mai Xiang didn't use much force to push, Amu Xin was wearing pelvic-soled shoes. Fortunately, Hong Rong was quick and hugged Amu Xin who was about to fall.

"It turns out that Amusin wanted someone to hug her, so she should have said it earlier." Seeing that Amusin just fell into Hong Rong's arms, Wula Duomin laughed.

"That's great, Second Sister, it really is the present newspaper." Mai Xiang couldn't help clapping her hands and laughing.

"Xiao Nizi dares to fight with me, be careful I'll peel your skin." A Muxin blushed, pointing at Mai Xiang, the words she said were naturally soft, without any deterrent force.

"That's not okay. If you want to skin her, who will give us the money?" Uladomin hugged Mai Xiang and said with a smile.

"Sister Mai Xiang, speaking of this, I have one thing I want to ask you for help." Hong Rong said seriously.

"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Mai Xiang looked at Yong En, who shook his head.

"It's like this, because Zongxue needs to learn arithmetic. A few days ago, I read "The Essence of Mathematics and Physics" that my Ama participated in compiling when I was young. I think the content is too profound, and I want to rewrite it. "Mathematics" suitable for beginners, please help me."

"What is "The Essence of Mathematics"?" Mai Xiang seemed to have never heard of this book.

Yong En was very surprised when he heard this, Hong Rong's words once again refreshed his understanding of Mai Xiang, when did she know Western arithmetic again?How did Hong Rong know?Also, what surprises and secrets are waiting for them in Mai Xiang?

"You haven't read this book? Then where did you learn Western arithmetic?" Chang Hongrong was surprised.

"Well, what I know is a little superficial, and it was a coincidence that I learned some from others. By the way, I heard that your imperial grandfather loved Western arithmetic. Did you, Ama, learn it from him? You also learned Western arithmetic. ?” Mai Xiang suddenly remembered that he had seen on TV that Kangxi had studied Western arithmetic, and he had a lot of foreign goods in his hand.

"Really? If yours is called fur, why do I feel that I can't learn as well as you?" Hong Rong looked at Mai Xiang with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Mai Xiang felt guilty, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out how he knew that he knew how to do Western arithmetic.

"The grove outside the gate of the Reclining Buddha Temple, chickens and rabbits in the same cage, Jiugongge, by the way, you still use Western numerals to fill in Jiugongge, which is more proficient than Chinese characters." Hong Rong counted out one by one.

"How do you know?" Mai Xiang felt that the temperature in the room was a little high.

"It happened by chance." Hong Rong still smiled lightly.

"How about this, you give me the book "The Essence of Mathematics and Physics" and the first draft you wrote. I, a lunar new year cat, am in the country and see if I can proofread it for you." Mai Xiang had to agree.

"Mai Xiang, who did you learn arithmetic from?" Amusin asked belatedly.

"Western missionary." Mai Xiang lied again.

"Then how long have you been studying, and you are actually better than Lord Baylor? I feel dizzy when I look at those numbers, so I never like to look at the ledger." Amusin asked. She still admires Mai Xiang a little. This is her first time. Once I heard that Hong Rong admired others for learning Western arithmetic better than him. Of course, Prince Zhuang didn't count, that was his teacher.

"Second Sister, I'm smart. I learn everything by inferring others from one instance and drawing inferences by analogy. It's not like there's a saying that the master guides you into the door, and you can practice on your own. It's not like you don't know that I have good understanding." Mai Xiang gave A Muxin an annoyed look. .

Because she felt that Hong Rong's words just now threatened her, and she didn't like it.

In fact, Mai Xiang wronged Hong Rong, and Hong Rong wanted to help her. If Mai Xiang participates in the proofreading of this book, then when the book is published, Mai Xiang's name can be written on it, and Mai Xiang will be the first one. A strange woman who participated in the school's mathematics.

"What, you mean I'm stupid?" After Amusin realized it, she stepped forward and rubbed Mai Xiang with her arms around her.

"Attention, attention, you are Lord Baylor's Fujin, you have to pay attention to your image, where is your parent nun?" Mai Xiang laughed while avoiding Amusin's hands.

I don't know if it's because Ah Gui is not at home all the year round, and the old lady of Zhang Jia's family has only this granddaughter, so she has spoiled Amusin a little bit, and developed Amusin's very lively and detached personality, and met Mai Xiang The rest of the great ladies are very different.

This is also an important reason why Amu Xin attracted Hong Rong in the first place, so when Hong Rong saw A Mu Xin and Mai Xiang making a fuss, instead of blaming him, he shook his head lovingly.

"Hong Rong, I think we should be cautious about this matter. Mai Xiang can help you, but it's inappropriate to make her famous. She is a woman after all." Yong En glanced worriedly at Mai Xiang who was still laughing. .

What he is worried about is that if Mai Xiang's fame is too great and some people are interested, he may not be able to protect Mai Xiang. within range.

"That's right, the eldest brother-in-law is still thoughtful. Second brother-in-law, please bear with me." Mai Xiang stopped playing around when she heard Yong En's words, and stood in front of Hong Rong.

She was originally a smart person, and with such a reminder from Yong En, she also turned around and realized that she almost wronged her.

"Don't worry, I know it well." Hong Rong promised happily.

This is not the first time he has dealt with Mai Xiang, and he has also received Mai Xiang's favor, so naturally he does not want to see Mai Xiang hurt, but he does not want to bury Mai Xiang's talent, because he feels that with his Prince Zhuang With the title of Prince Yong Enli, there is no problem in Humaixiang being comprehensive.

"Second brother-in-law, I know what you want, but I really don't want to be famous. By the way, I am more interested in silver. I wonder if your book can be printed in our factory after it comes out?" Rely on the vulgar.

"It's natural, and the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields." Hong Rong hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I have already told you to set the meal, the three of you can eat, Hong Rong and I will go to the outer study to eat." Yong En looked at Hong Rong and said.

After the meal, Mai Xiang was about to leave, when Uladomin said suddenly: "By the way, I almost forgot, the white fox fur cloak that I said last time for my sister is already ready, tomorrow when my sister returns to the countryside, I just give it to my sister. "

Uladomin hurriedly ordered Wanxia to find something, and Amuxin left before seeing this.

"Sister, no need. The big woolen clothes on my body are still brand new. I haven't worn them much this year. In the countryside, where can I use such good clothes? It doesn't have to be wasted. It seems like a hidden gem."

Mai Xiang saw that Uladomin took out a furoshiki, and Wanxia took out a white fox fur cloak, a mink coat with engraved gold and hundreds of butterflies, and two new brocade dresses, and hurriedly waved her hands reject.

"You can keep this. You are getting older every year. You should get married next year. Don't have a few decent clothes. Don't enter Wan's house and let others look down on you. After all, you are also me." My sister." Uladomin said slowly, and at the same time gave Wanxia a wink, and Wanxia got busy.

"Understood, but I don't lack clothes. I just keep a clothing store at home. Is there anything I want to wear? It's not something I can do." What Mai Xiang is worried about is that if she wears these expensive clothes, she might be caught again. It made Jiufeng's unsettled heart start to stir.

"You mean it. I give it away because I mean it as a sister. Compared with what my sister made, what is my sister's things?" Uladomin said while taking a small wooden box from the top of the kang to ask for it. Put them together in the furoshiki.

"Sister, I don't need any jewelry."

Just as he was talking, Yongen saw off the guest and came back.

"Sister, I just discussed with the gentlemen outside. It is best to report this coal mine matter to the emperor. After all, it is impossible for the emperor not to know about such a big move. What does my sister mean?"

"Brother-in-law, since I told you about this matter, I will leave it to you to handle it completely. This matter has nothing to do with me. Brother-in-law can let go and choose a plan that is most beneficial to him." Mai Xiang guessed Yong En concerns, said hurriedly.

"Sister, I've never seen such a delicate and transparent girl like you. You know everything. Don't say thank you for your kindness. Brother-in-law owes you too much, so brother-in-law won't say anything." Yong En looked at Mai Xiang and solemnly clasped his fists I made a salute.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? I'm just talking about it. In the past few years, without my sister and brother-in-law, I wouldn't be where I am today." Seeing Yong En salute to herself, Mai Xiang hurriedly avoided.

"Sister, sister don't say anything else, I will give you a good hug for your brother-in-law." Uladomin stood up and really gave Mai Xiang a tight hug.

As soon as she heard Yong En mention the coal mine, she knew that his problems these days had been solved, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning home from Prince Li, Mai Xiang was very surprised to find that Huai Ci was at home.

"Why did you come back suddenly? You didn't send anyone to tell me." When Mai Xiang got out of the carriage, she was really startled when she saw someone reaching out to hug her.

Huai Ci took Mai Xiang's hand, and first asked: "Is it cold? Did you bring a hand stove? Have you been sick during this time?" As he spoke, he took Mai Xiang's hand back to the house.

"It's okay. What a coincidence, today I sent dividends to a few of them, and I plan to go back to the countryside early tomorrow morning..." Mai Xiang chatted for a long time while holding Huaici's hand.

Huai Ci looked at the bright eyes and pink lips of the laughing Yan Yan in front of him, and couldn't help but put his face against it.
