Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 253 Weeping with joy
Just as Huai Ci was about to get close to Mai Xiang, Mai Xiang pushed him away, because she remembered that there was one more serious matter she hadn't asked.

"Why did you come home today?"

"The woman was sick and sent someone to deliver a letter to me. I had no choice but to ask for leave and go back."

"She won't die so soon, will she?" Mai Xiang thinks it's not fun at all, after all, Huai Ci has endured for so many years, just waiting for a day to settle with her, she is going to die, this is not a blow Cotton on?
"Did you die?" Huai Ci raised his eyebrows and looked at Mai Xiang, he had never heard of this word.

"Uh, to hang up means to die. I think it's not good to be too straightforward, so I'll put it another way."

"Oh, that's not true. She just felt a cold occasionally, and she didn't go that far. She just thought of an excuse to make me sick."

"Feeling cold and sick? Doesn't she have a maid and a daughter-in-law? Why do you still use you?" Mai Xiang felt that Mrs. Wan was a little too hypocritical, of course, she seemed a little perverted.

"Where do you want to go? Naturally, someone will do these rough jobs. She just wants to delay my time for a few days, because it is almost the end of the year, and it is a busy time. We have exams and grades. These are very important and directly related to the future. To become an official." Huai Ci explained while flipping through the ledger.

Before Mai Xiang came, he was looking at the account book, because he heard from Mrs. Li that Mai Xiang planned to celebrate the New Year in the countryside this winter, so he naturally wanted to accompany Mai Xiang, so he took this time to ask Feng Xiang to send the account book to Come on, save the holiday and have to check the accounts.

"Official?"

After Huai Ci's explanation, Mai Xiang understood that after obtaining a qualified graduation certificate, if the students of the Imperial College do not pass the provincial examination or general examination, they can also enter the official position as an Imperial College student, but this position is relatively inferior. Generally, they are county magistrates, teaching officials, teaching officials, etc. Although the salary is low and the rights are small, they are officials after all. Compared with those merchants and landlords, they still have some advantages. What's more, if they do well, they can also be promoted. of.

"Then how many days have you asked for leave?" Mai Xiang became a little anxious when she heard this, and she knew that Mrs. Wan had no good intentions, and she clearly didn't want him to take the exam when she brought Huai Ci home at this juncture.

"Three days, I will go to the master's house tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will be on vacation in half a month, and I still have to write a few strategies."

"What about Wanjia?" Mai Xiang knew that in this era, filial piety can crush people to death.

Huai Ci was silent for a moment, then said, "There's her son too."

"Brother, if she really dies, will you not be able to take the scientific examination? You will also not be able to get married?" Mai Xiang recalled that Ji Xiaolan postponed the examination because of Ding You.

"Sister, are you in a hurry?" Huai Ci was in a good mood when he heard that.

"I'm not in a hurry. How old am I?" Mai Xiang is less than thirteen years old, but it is indeed too early to talk about marriage.

"Yes, my sister is not old, my sister is not in a hurry, it is my brother who is in a hurry, and my brother can't wait for us to get married right now." Huai Ci's hand holding Mai Xiang tightened a little.

Today's Huai Ci is no longer the cold personality of the past. In the beginning, he approached Mai Xiang deliberately in order to overcome his own psychological barriers. Mai Xiang never refused him in order to cooperate with him in treating illnesses.Later, unconsciously, he seemed to have become a habit, as long as Mai Xiang was by his side, he wanted to hug Mai Xiang.

The problem is that Mai Xiang is the soul of a modern person, she likes the man beside her, and the two have a marriage contract, Mai Xiang is really afraid that she will do something wrong on impulse.

"By the way, brother, the factory is on holiday. I closed the account. Our income this year is more than 8000 taels. I didn't expect to make money as a bookseller. Let me see the income of your shop." Mai Xiang moved in his arms, and reached for the ledger on the kang table.

"This is my sister's ability. Brother Ming'er will take you to find some good things."

The money is within Huai Ci's budget. To be honest, Mai Xiang insisted on opening a publishing house and a printing factory at the beginning. Yes, Mai Xiang is a latecomer and a woman, so she definitely has no competitive advantage, but Huai Ci still supports her, just because this is what Mai Xiang wants to do.

What Huaici didn't expect was that Mai Xiang's first book would be published "Wei Mo". Not only Ji Xiaolan, but also a few well-educated scholars from the Hanlin Academy, which made Mai Xiang's books different from others.With this selling point, it is difficult for Mai Xiang not to earn a lot of money.

"Sister, why do I feel like I've picked up a cornucopia?" Huai Ci hugged Mai Xiang, very grateful that he obeyed the calling of his heart, rushed to the small courtyard, and suffered the knife.

"What cornucopia? I am a mountain of gold, you dig slowly, it must be full of treasures." Mai Xiang gave the other party a look, quite arrogant.

Huai Ci looked at Mai Xiang's eyes, and couldn't help but put his face forward again.

When Mai Xiang was wondering whether she should push him away, Huai Ci suddenly let her go, and pushed him away very rudely.

Mai Xiang thought that Huai Ci was thinking about the past again, and just wanted to raise her head to say something to him, but saw Huai Ci's face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and the expression on his face was also very strange, it was a kind of depressive pain accompanied by a It was a great surprise, and after a while, tears came out.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Mai Xiang stepped forward and hugged him.

Huai Ci shook his head, and smiled tearfully at Mai Xiang, stretched out his hand, and stroked Mai Xiang's face.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Mai Xiang had never seen Huai Ci like this before, and was a little frightened.

"Sister, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm not a useless person anymore, sister, I can finally let go of the past and accept you completely."

"What do you mean?" After Mai Xiang asked, she seemed to understand, and now it was her turn to petrify.

Ganqing and the two have been together for three years. He has hugged him so many times, but there is no response. No wonder he keeps saying that he is useless.

The problem is that in the past two years, seeing that he has been so close to her, Mai Xiang thought that he had completely overcome the obstacles and accepted herself, and there was nothing wrong with him.

"You kept it from me so tightly, tell me, are you planning to keep it from me until we two get married?" Mai Xiang's first reaction was anger.

She also quickly pushed him away, as if what it meant to be married like this was clear in Mai Xiang's mind.

"Sister, you are still young and don't understand these things. I dare not tell you these things. I am just anxious. I thought, if I am not well within three years after getting married, I will let you go. Sister, don't you Angry." Seeing that Mai Xiang pushed her away, Huai Ci stepped forward to hold Mai Xiang back, at this time, Huai Ci also forgot to ask how Mai Xiang understood these matters between men and women.

When Mai Xiang heard the other party say, "You are still young, you don't understand these things", she was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. She really couldn't explain why she understood Huai Ci's hint.

"You are a liar, a liar, a big liar." Mai Xiang was a little irrational, mainly because she was guilty.

"Sister, I didn't mean to lie to you. I really like my sister. I can feel it myself. From I don't want my sister to touch me, to I don't resent my sister touching me, to when I deliberately touch my sister, to when I want to touch my sister, And when I long for my sister, every step I take is very difficult, but I can feel my own changes, a little bit of change, so every time I see my sister, I have to hug her and hold her hand, that is I wanted to see if I could cure my last test, but I didn't expect that God would really treat me well, I am really cured, and in the future, I can marry my younger sister..." Huaici's words were also somewhat incoherent.

"What, you mean that if it's not good, you won't marry me?" Mai Xiang stared, forgetting the three-year agreement that Huaici himself had mentioned just now.

"Success, success, in this life, I only want a younger sister."

No matter how mature Mai Xiang is, she is still a woman, still a little girl in love, and she has no resistance to sweet talk, so when she heard Huaici's saying that she is the only one in this life, she also showed joy on her face flower.

"Brother, in the past three years, have you been worried or afraid?" Mai Xiang, who had lost her temper, suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have had a much harder life than her in the past three years, but why didn't she find out?Isn't this fiancee too dereliction of duty?

"I'm not afraid, I'm still a little anxious. I have confidence in myself. I like my sister so much. I will definitely overcome my obstacles. It's just a matter of time." Huai Ci hugged Mai Xiang again.

"Why? Hug him so tightly, you will feel uncomfortable later." Mai Xiang reminded him considerately.

Although she has no actual combat experience, she has read a lot of TV novels and comics, so she still has a lot of theoretical knowledge.

"I am willing, I want to experience this feeling again." After Huai Ci finished speaking, he hugged Mai Xiang again.

Although both of them are in the beginner stage, they don't have any skills, and even their teeth will be knocked, but it doesn't hinder their devotion, until Huai Ci let go of Mai Xiang again.

"Are you suffering again?"

"It's not uncomfortable, I like this feeling." Huaici's eyes were bright.

Seeing this, Mai Xiang had a bad idea, and was about to step forward to tease him again, when she heard Li Shi's voice outside.

"Mai Xiang, are you asleep?" Mrs. Li knew that Mai Xiang and Huai Ci were in the room, seeing that Huai Ci hadn't come out for a long time, and the maid had already sent her away, she was a little worried, so she purposely took a look.

"Fifth Aunt, you haven't slept yet, come in." Mai Xiang hurriedly straightened her clothes and hair, then glared at the man who was still giggling.

Seeing this, Huaici had no choice but to go out. He knew that if he didn't leave, Wufu might be the one who came to warn him next time.
