Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 262 Outbreak
As soon as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qian all looked at Mai Xiang.

Mai Xiang smiled and said: "Actually, it's not like what my mother said, it's just that Mai Huang suffered a lot when she was young, and they owe a lot to her better life in the past few years, so I want to leave more for them. A little something. Also, this year I have to prepare a dowry, so my mother and Mai Huang will take care of these chores at home. My mother has a quick temper and speaks straight, and Mai Huang is also young. , you all should take care of them more."

When the Lius heard that it was Zhao and Mai Huang who took care of trivial matters, they realized that Zhao was just a decoration, and that the power of the family was still decided by Mai Xiang and Mai Huang, and Zhao couldn't even understand the bank notes.As for Mai Xiang's intention to let the Zhao family be in charge, the Liu family also understands.

"Damn girl, your mother has lived for more than 30 years. She has eaten more salt than you have eaten. If you can't get it, what's wrong with talking? I'm just telling the truth. I'm just In this way, there are not as many detours as you, and you can say whatever you want, and if you are unhappy or unhappy, you are unhappy or unhappy, and I will not pretend." Zhao rolled her eyes at Mai Xiang, and she felt that Mai Xiang would tear her down. the station.

The few daughters-in-law present understood who Mrs. Zhao's words were aimed at, but everyone glanced at Liu and Ye Tiezhu who were dark-faced, and chose to ignore them. Instead, they sighed at Mai Xiang's good life.

"My darling, how does this Fujin treat you so well? The few rituals every year are not counted, and even the dowry can be prepared? This child, where did he get such great blessing?" Qian's eyes They can all shine, and the key point she remembers is that Mai Xiang has a dowry prepared by the prince's family, so how many good things must there be?

"What is this? Even without a dowry, Mai Xiang can still live a good life. She has such a good life. Needless to say, her niece and son-in-law are more handsome than girls. Now she is a scholar and her family is rich. Not to mention, I also have property, so I will definitely be an official in the future, and our family Mai Xiang will definitely be the life of the official wife in the future." Mrs. Sun gave Mai Xiang a lift, and sure enough, she saw Mrs. Zhao's face beaming with pride.

"Why don't you talk about this child's good luck? This person is so annoying to compare with others. We can't compare. It depends on whether my daughter can have such a good life and find a good husband's family." Qian's hand Holding Mai Yin in his arms, looking left and right, he felt that Mai Yin was much more handsome than Mai Xiang, and instantly gained a bit of confidence and confidence.

"Second aunt, a person's blessings are more or less earned by themselves. Don't second aunt remember how much hardship I suffered before? I heard that this person has countless blessings in his life, and some are bitter before sweet. Some are sweet at first and then bitter, this one is not something you can escape if you want to." Mai Xiang said slowly.

"Well, I also know that when I was at home, my mother loved to worry about our brothers and sisters. My father often advised her that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You can get everything they want for them now. Is it possible that you will be happy in the future? Can be with them forever? There is nothing wrong with experiencing more hardships and experience while you are young." Zhou said hurriedly.

"Aunt Eight, did your father ever go to school? Can he say such profound words?" Mai Xiang asked.

"No, my father never went to school, but my father suffered a lot when he was young, so he often said that he was bitter first and then sweet. If he didn't have the hardship that he would have suffered when he was young, he might not be able to support these people. It's a big family." Zhou was quite proud when talking about her father.

Mai Xiang and Zhou Shi asked and answered, Liu Shi's face could squeeze water, Jiufeng looked at everyone, she also knew that these words were aimed at her, after all, it was a child's heart, Jiufeng's anger was very fast Just picked it up.

"Brother, I don't want your dowry of a hundred acres of land. I know, all of you look down on me, think that I can only spend money but not make money, think that I am older than Mai Xiang and not as sensible as Mai Xiang, think that As an aunt, I want my niece to give a dowry. Don’t you just want to say that I have a thick skin? Yes, I have no skills and skills, but you brothers and sisters-in-law don’t have any skills. Don’t you live on Maixiang? I, I don’t want the dowry of this one hundred acres of land. Is this going to happen? Save you guys who don’t like me every day, and always talk with guns and sticks. Woohoo, big brother and second brother Third brother, fifth brother and eighth brother, all of you have changed, and you all have your own little family, so you don’t love me anymore, and Mai Xiang, too, was so good with me when I was young, and slept on the same kang for so many years , I will give you a share of whatever I have to eat, but you don't like to talk to me now, woo woo, isn't it just for this little money? woo woo..."

The more Jiufeng talked, the more sad she became, and she lay on Liu's body and burst into tears.

"Good girl, listen to your mother, stop crying, stop crying, what will mother do if you cry like this?" Liu Shi hugged Jiufeng and started crying too.

Ye Tiezhu put down his chopsticks, hugged his head and said, "It's me, the father, who is incompetent. If you want to blame, blame me."

"Father..." Dafu and Erfu both shouted.

Uh, Mai Xiang was a little dazed, she didn't expect this effect, although she wanted to take the opportunity to educate Liu Shi and Jiu Feng, but she didn't expect Jiu Feng to explode.

"Grandma, since you mentioned this, let's talk about this topic, otherwise, you will never know where you are wrong. Yes, I don't deny that uncle and aunt rely on me to make things better today. Life, but they are fundamentally different from you, they all earn money by working with their own hands, I just gave them a chance, they have to pay their own labor."

"I also make money from embroidery by myself, and I'm not idle." Jiufeng raised her head to distinguish.

"Yes, you are not idle, and you have saved some money. But you have a big heart and a high vision. The aunts spend their money from their own purses, just like what the nanny used to say. You can eat as much food as you want, but what about you, you compare this with me every day, you say that I am unfamiliar with you, you ask yourself, I have treated you badly? At the beginning, what did the Maihuangs do? , do you have any? But you are not as content as Mai Huang, who want better things when you have good ones..."

"That's enough, do you still have elders in your eyes? She is your old aunt. With me and your grandfather here, no matter how bad you are, there are still these elder brothers. When is it your turn to teach her a lesson?" Liu was worried nine times. Feng had a thin skin and couldn't hold back the excitement of these words.

Also, the big and the young are all there, so where do they put their old faces?

"Grandma, you don't want to listen to me, I don't want to say it. After you go back, you and my grandpa will think about it, how can you really treat my old aunt? Grandma, what I said is straightforward, you must Don't be angry, I'm because my aunt and I grew up together, and I don't want to see her go astray." Mai Xiang said later, afraid of irritating Liu Shi, she lowered her posture.

"Shut up, do you still want to eat this meal?" Ye Tiezhu spoke with a dark face.

Mai Xiang didn't make a sound anymore, took a few mouthfuls of rice, and went down with Mai Huang and the others.

She didn't understand. Ye Tiezhu knew that these sons and daughters-in-law had their own thoughts, and every time they ate, they were not very happy. To gather the people together.

Forget it, if there are no accidents, this will be the last New Year's Eve dinner she eats at Ye's house, so what is she talking about.

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang sighed. Although the Ye family has a lot of people, some of them are small-minded, not demanding, and not very scheming. This Wan family is probably much more difficult to deal with than the Ye family.

After eating, Mrs. Liu rested on the kang in the inner room, Jiufeng accompanied her, and Ye Tiezhu and her five sons discussed things outside.Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Zhao surrounded Mrs. Zhao and talked in the west room, and Mai Xiang and Mrs. Mai went back to her room with Mrs. Mai, she was also tired.

Fortunately, after the New Year's Eve dinner, Mrs. Liu still moved back to live with Bafu, and Mai Xiang only went to pay her respects to Mrs. Liu on the first day of the new year. Huaici came over on the second day of the new year. Duomin sent someone to pick up Maixiang, because the palace planned to entertain Ula Duomin's natal family that day, and invited the theater troupe from the tea garden to sing "Dream of Red Mansions" at home.

When Mai Xiang arrived, there was a lot of noise in the palace, and the maids and women kept shuttling. Uladomin was worried that Mai Xiang would be uncomfortable, so she sent Aunt Guan and Wan Xia to accompany her.

"Miss Mai Xiang, Fujin has reserved a good seat for you, and told us to have something to eat while listening to the play. The play is waiting for you to start." Wan Xia laughed.

Seeing her excited look, Mai Xiang joked: "Sister Wanxia, ​​this palace invites people to sing operas seven or eight times a year, why are you more excited than a bumpkin like me?"

"Miss Mai Xiang doesn't know. I used to follow Fujin to serve people, but now I follow Miss Mai Xiang, and my slaves can watch a good show."

"Girl, you're so excited that you don't know what to do. Fujin can say, if you don't serve Miss Mai Xiang well, you'll be punished."

Wan Xia hugged Mai Xiang and said with a smile: "Young lady won't bear to let me be punished. By the way, I made a pair of shoes for the young lady. You can try the size later. I made this for the young lady myself. , not on Fujin's order."

Wanxia knows that Mai Xiang doesn't like making shoes, and thinks it is troublesome to make shoes, so occasionally she will take the initiative to make a pair of embroidered cloth shoes for Mai Xiang, and Mai Xiang will also order some small jewelry for her.

While talking, Wan Xia led Mai Xiang to the big flower hall. When she entered the door, there were two large pastel plum vases more than three feet high, each with a small red plum with a thick mouth, which was just about to bloom.

When Mai Xiang entered, the people inside were chatting and laughing in twos and threes. There were almost a dozen seats in the room, and a small foreign lacquer carved tea tray was placed on each high table. In the heat, there is a small assorted grid next to it, which contains some delicate snacks. Next to the high table is a small table with a pastel plum vase on it, and a few small plum blossoms are also inserted. There is no incense in the whole flower hall, but But there is a faint plum fragrance around.
