Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 255

Mai Xiang heard the white lady call her big girl, but called her own son Renjie, she was not happy, just about to speak, she saw Zhao opened her eyes wide and asked: "Renjie, who is Renjie?"

Now it was Madam Bai's turn to be unhappy, she glared at Mrs Zhao, saw Mai Xiang was looking at her with a smile, quickly changed her smile and said: "Sister and sister, didn't I tell you that my son's name is Renjie. "

"You have several sons. I don't know who is who. You just say fat." Mrs. Zhao was eating a snack and almost choked, so she was angry.

"Yes, ma'am, I remember that Pangdun seems to be a few months younger than me. He is short and fat, and he will only be 14 years old next year. He will be able to go to the scholar exam at such a young age. It seems that it is better to be taught by the aunt. After the aunt's house Just wait for him to shine on the lintel." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"No, my son is not my own praise, he is studying well. Also, our family, Jie, is not like when he was a child. Now he has a tummy tuck and started to grow, but he has lost weight, and his eyebrows and eyes have also grown. It's not the same as when I was a child." The white lady hastily explained a few words, her son can't be insulted by others at will.

Logically, her son is not very old, so she is not in a hurry to come to propose marriage, but her son has been in love with Mai Huang for not one or two years, and Mai Huang will be thirteen next year, and there are also 13-year-old girls who say kiss. Mai Xiang said kiss Wasn't it only 11 years old when I was born?
Also, Mai Xiang will get married next year, and she is worried that Mai Xiang will go to a big family like Wanjia after she gets married, and Mai Xiang will definitely choose a good family for Mai Huang in the city. Wasn't the family's waiting all these years empty with a bamboo basket?Wouldn't the Ye family's generous dowry be cheaper for others?

"Well, sister-in-law, that's right, I saw him come to play in the summer, but it's not that he's grown up and looks like a big child." Zhao said beside him.

"Come to our house to play? Why didn't I see it?" Mai Xiang asked with some doubts. She also lived at home for a long time this summer.

"You've only been home for a few days?" Zhao said.

"My eldest sister has lived at home for a month. Fat Dun knew that my eldest sister and brother-in-law were at home, so she didn't dare to come." Mai Qing also changed into Mai Xiang's old clothes and came out.

Even though they were old clothes, they were all gifts from Amuxin or Ula Duomin, and they were about [-]% to [-]% new, all of them were made of high-quality materials, and Mai Xiang didn't wear much.

"Hey, our Mai Qing looks like a townsman in this outfit, but it's really pretty. Brother and sister, I'm not praising you. The girls in your family are more handsome than each other. The matchmaker who proposes marriage in the future must not step on you. The threshold of the house?" The white lady looked behind the door while talking.

"Ma'am, what are you looking at?" Mai Qing asked, then secretly winked at Mai Xiang.

"No, it's nothing. Even looking at you looks really good."

With Mai Qing making such a fuss, it was even more difficult for the white lady to say what she wanted to say. She couldn't propose marriage in front of a little girl of a few years old, but after all, Mai Xiang was also a little girl.

This Ye family is also strange, they want an unmarried little girl to make the decision, so she still has to watch Mai Xiang's face here.

When the white lady was complaining to herself that she came here again for nothing today, Mrs. Liu and Ye Tiezhu brought Jiufeng over, and Li Damei and several little girls from the village also came in at the same time.

Mai Xiang hurriedly got off the kang to meet her, and said with a smile, "Why are you so complete today?"

Li Damei smiled and said: "I was just about to talk to them when I saw Jiufeng. Jiufeng said that you are back. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I came to have a look."

At this time, several little girls gathered around, pulled Mai Xiang's clothes and asked, "Mai Xiang, what kind of material are you making? It's really pretty. Is this gold thread real gold thread?"

"Of course it's true. The big woolen clothes Mai Xiang is wearing cost five or sixty taels of silver." When Jiufeng entered the door and saw Mai Xiang sitting so glamorously, she felt unbalanced for a long time. Even silk clothes worth two silver coins would be considered expensive by her father, so what is Mai Xiang's outfit?
Sure enough, after Ye Tiezhu heard what his daughter said, he stared at Mai Xiang with wide eyes, ignoring the people in the room, and cursed: "What a prodigal, what about your father, call your father, this 50 taels of silver can After buying several acres of land, you just bought such a flashy thing to wear on your body? A prodigal thing."

"Grandpa, my eldest sister's clothes are all given by sister Fujin, not bought by the eldest sister herself." Seeing Ye Tiezhu pointing at the eldest sister and losing his temper, Mai Qing was a little reluctant and yelled a few words.

Seeing this, Li Damei felt a little embarrassed, wanted to leave but couldn't do it right away, Mai Xiang hurriedly said after seeing this: "Mai Qing, you take these sisters to my room to sit, I will go there in a while. "

Mai Qing listened and looked at Mai Xiang, seeing Mai Xiang nodding, she had no choice but to drag Li Damei and the others in, and Jiufeng hurriedly followed.

"Grandpa, Mammy, please sit down." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she sat down first.

Seeing the white lady, although she really wanted to stay and watch the Ye family's internal strife, she also knew it was impolite, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left, and Mai Xiang sent the Zhao family to see off the guests.

Ye Tiezhu now also understands that he shouldn't lose his temper at this moment. After all, Mai Xiang is a big girl. He shamed Mai Xiang in public. How will Mai Xiang meet people when she goes out?

"Then what, what..." Ye Tiezhu opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say it out. After all, he is an elder, how can he apologize to a granddaughter?Besides, if he was wrong, it was his granddaughter who was wrong first!But Mai Xiang not only didn't know what was wrong, but also looked at him coldly, and Ye Tiezhu's anger flared up again.

"Father, what's the matter?" Ye Dafu came in on crutches when he heard the movement, and it was Mai Qing who went to sue.

"Dafu, come on, you came just in time, do you know how many acres of land this woolen coat on Mai Xiang is worth?" Seeing his son, Ye Tiezhu seemed to have seen a savior, he really didn't want to confront Mai Xiang.

"Father, don't worry about these little things. Mai Xiang's clothes these few years are basically sent by Fujin from Prince Li's family. She just makes a few cotton clothes for home use." Ye Dafu sat in the Mai Next to Xiang, he patted Mai Xiang on the back, and comforted his daughter first.

"Even if it was sent by someone else, we farmers don't need to wear such good clothes. Isn't the grandson-in-law's shop just selling materials, and selling them to buy a few acres of land is not better than this? Besides, you Having said that, they have been sent by others in the past few years. How many acres of land can be bought if all these good clothes are sold? The children in the family have not done a major event, so which one can’t spend money? The wheat field is still so small, Don’t you know how to save some land for him? A prodigal’s thing.” Ye Tiezhu was still resentful.

Mai Xiang laughed when she heard this, and didn't speak, she wanted to hear what Ye Dafu had to say.

"Father, the things sent by others are people's wishes. How can I sell them? My daughter is not short of money now. Also, Huaici is now a scholar. My daughter will marry in the next year." After entering Wan's family, she will no longer be a farmer. Besides, father, Mai Xiang earned the money in the first place. This child is a benevolent person. She didn't spend much on herself, so I bought it for the land. It's not that she has no plans in mind, she has already arranged the affairs of the younger brothers and sisters." Ye Dafu explained with restraint.

On one side is his most respected father, on the other side is his most beloved daughter, he doesn't want to offend anyone, but if he had to choose one, he would definitely choose Mai Xiang without hesitation, because when he was most discouraged and most desperate, , his parents and brothers abandoned him, but his daughter supported the family for him.

"Old man, a piece of clothing is worth when you are so angry, let's talk about business." Liu worried that if she continued, she would say that Jiufeng spent 30 taels of silver for a big coat, which she still kept from the truth. What about the old man.

"Is mother here today?"

"I heard that Mai Xiang bought several girls in one go, so I'll give the leaf to your sister. Also, how much money do you plan to spend on the marriage of the eight blessings?"

"By the way, I forgot if I didn't mention this. What did I do here today? You also said that this child is invincible, and he can buy ten people as soon as he buys it. How much money does it cost? Don't look at me, I don't know, raising these for nothing Not counting people, they will have to be paid every month in the future. Dafu, tell me, someone does the rough and heavy work at home. These girls don’t do anything for a day, and they have to be waited on. Is it reasonable? How many mu of land? Who can have too much land?"

Ye Tiezhu is a stickler, he admits death, the land is his lifeblood, and with the land, he can't go hungry at any time, so he can't see Mai Xiang wasting money like this.

"Grandpa, my father also said that I earned this money. Since I can earn this money, I must have a plan in my heart. Although our family still lives in this country, it is no longer the old Ye family. In the future, I will arrange the marriages of Mai Huang and the others. It will definitely not be an ordinary small family. How can we do without a maid around? Grandpa, don’t worry about our family’s affairs. At this time, I should worry about my old aunt. The few taels of silver my old aunt earns a year is really not enough for her to spend on her own. By the way, eighth uncle, we plan to give 20 taels of silver, and my father will personally send it to eighth uncle. Go, I won't bother you, I still have guests, so I won't accompany you." After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she got up and went into the back room.

"Dafu, when did this kid become like this? Why did he treat us like this?" Ye Tiezhu asked, pointing at Mai Xiang's back.

"Father, Mai Xiang has always been a filial and reasonable child. You guys misunderstood her. Don't talk about anything else. When did my mother get sick and ask the doctor for medicine and she didn't pay for it alone? What good medicine can't be given to my mother? And your food and clothing, which one is not taken care of by her?" Ye Dafu was really touched by this.

"I, I..." Ye Tiezhu looked at himself, speechless.

"Then Dafu, Mai Xiang has prepared some good things for Mai Huang and the others, can you also prepare some for your sister?" Mrs. Liu held Dafu's hand.
