Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 267
As soon as Mai Xiang finished asking this question, she felt a little regretful. Didn't she dig a hole for herself?

"Uh, just pretend I didn't ask."

"I trust my sister."

The two said in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.

"Then do you trust brother-in-law?" Mai Xiang, in a good mood, looked at Huaici mischievously with her head half tilted, insisting on listening to his truth.

"I believe brother-in-law won't hurt you. Besides, brother-in-law owes you too much. We collect the debt. Don't be afraid."

"What does this mean?" Mai Xiang didn't react for a while.

"If the younger sister owes others, the younger sister is in debt, and the younger sister will feel guilty and disturbed. On the contrary, if someone owes the younger sister, the younger sister will collect the debt, and the younger sister will face it calmly."

Careful Huaici discovered that Mai Xiang's face to Tong Liwen was different from that of Yong En, so she came to this conclusion.

After listening to his explanation, Mai Xiang was stunned for a while, thought about it carefully, and smiled knowingly, it was indeed the case.

The next day, Mai Xiang and Huai Ci went out early, and originally wanted to go directly to the scholar's mansion, but on this hot day, after walking for three or four hours on the road, Mai Xiang was sweating profusely, so she wanted to go back and take a bath first. clean clothes.

When Mai Xiang entered the house, Mrs. Li was talking with Mrs. Liu on the kang. Mrs. Li was obviously very happy to see Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu was obviously a little unnatural. Ever since Mrs. Mai Xiang trained Jiufeng After a meal, Mrs. Liu was quite afraid of Mai Xiang.

She admits that what Mai Xiang said is a little bit reasonable, but the problem is that in the eyes of her mother, Jiufeng is not as useless as Mai Xiang said, Jiufeng is simple and kind-hearted, and she is also a hardworking person. She learned needlework from her since she was a child , I haven't been a little lazy.

If I have to say something wrong, it's that this child likes beautiful clothes and jewelry, but who doesn't like to dress up beautifully for such a little girl?This is not a big problem, besides, Liu feels that the Ye family is not without this condition. She has wronged her daughter for ten years, how many years can her daughter be by her side?Which mother didn't take advantage of her daughter by her side to pamper and pamper her for a few years?
As for how high a branch she wants to climb, Mrs. Liu really doesn't have this idea. She just hopes that Jiufeng can find an ordinary family with comparable conditions, with the dowry of [-] acres of land given by Ye Dafu, and no worries about food and clothing. , she is content.

Therefore, during the three months in the capital, she has been looking for such a suitable family, but she is not satisfied with the few households she has chosen, either because she does not know a single word, or because she is too ugly, or because of her family background. That's great, people look down on Jiufeng, or her family is too poor, Liu is worried that Jiufeng will suffer if she marries in the past.

"Mommy, my father sent me over to deliver some zongzi, and the cherries at home are ripe." Mai Xiang spoke first, no matter how she is, she is also a junior.

Before Liu's reply, Mai Xiang glanced at Jiufeng and Ye Tiezhu, and asked again.

"Your grandpa is resting in the back. Your old aunt went out shopping. It happened that your cousin came to see her, and the two of them went out for a stroll together." Li said first.

"Ziju? What is she doing here?" Mai Xiang was a little displeased when she heard her name. This Jiufeng was originally a person with little concentration. He had to be with Ziju for a long time, so he could have a good time. What's wrong?

"She came to see if you were there. She said she wanted to talk to you. It's boring to take care of her son at home all day."

It was indeed Ziju's luck that Kang Yi gave birth to a girl but she became a boy in one fell swoop. Wan Zhigao didn't know if Mai Xiang was good to her, but old lady Wan really liked her great-grandson.

Seeing Liu's calm expression, Mai Xiang didn't say anything else, and went to wash herself.

Mrs. Zhang Jia did not expect that Mai Xiang would come to give the gift. Hearing the maid's announcement, she stood on the porch to greet Mai Xiang. She already knew that Mai Xiang saved her husband's life.

"This child, on this hot day, I don't care who I want to send, but I still have to come from the countryside." The old lady smiled kindly when she saw Mai Xiang, which made Mai Xiang feel a little delusional. It's my own grandmother.

"Go into the house quickly, old lady, be careful of the heat. I'm here to fulfill my wish today." Mai Xiang raised the basket in her hand.

"Cherry? Did it end?" The old lady also quickly remembered.

"Well, it's not bad, it's quite sweet." Mai Xiang casually gave the basket to the maid beside her, and the maid went down with the basket, and after a while put a plate on a small tray and brought it up.

"Girl, it's hard for you to remember this. Although the thing is small, it can be seen that you are a very trustworthy person. Thank you, old man."

The old lady's thank you was very vague, and Mai Xiang naturally heard that it was definitely not to thank her for a few cherries.

"Old lady, if I want to say thank you, I thank you all. Gege is the first noble person I know. It's rare that she didn't dislike me and didn't look down on me. That's why I have the following fate. I know that the old lady believes in Buddhism. The emphasis is on karma and karma, and it is precisely because Ge Ge planted a good cause that the following good results can be obtained, so the old lady does not have to feel sorry."

"Okay, my old lady will just listen to the girl's persuasion. From now on, you will also be my granddaughter's granddaughter. I won't say any other polite words. Remember, you are the granddaughter of our Zhang Jia family. If you dare to bully you, my wife will stand up for you."

"Okay, Mai Xiang remembers."

Just after Mai Xiang finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang Jia came in. She also heard that Mai Xiang was here, so she came to have a look. During this time, she asked Amusin a lot about Mai Xiang, and her impression of this girl changed. Quite a lot.

"Hi Ma'am." Seeing Mrs. Zhang Jia, Mai Xiang was still a little nervous, because she knew that she didn't like her.

"Sit down. I heard that you brought zongzi and cherries. I have never eaten this kind of southern meat zongzi. I just tasted it. I didn't expect it to be so delicious. Did you make it yourself?"

"No, it was made by my teacher's wife. My teacher's wife is from the south and likes to eat these."

After hearing this, the old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law. The meat dumpling Mai Xiang was given to her two years ago, but this daughter-in-law has never eaten it, and today she ate it for the first time. It seems that she finally understands the goodness of Mai Xiang.

Thinking of this, the old lady is happy, she is seventy this year, how many years can she live?Of course, I hope that Zhang Jia’s family can make friends with Mai Xiang. The old lady has lived for 70 years, and she has long seen that Mai Xiang is not an ordinary little girl. The friends around her are either rich or expensive, but they owe everyone Mai Xiang's great favor.It can be seen from this that this girl has already quietly paved many ways for herself. Such a scheming is really rare at such a young age.

"By the way, I just said that this girl will be my granddaughter from now on. From now on, my daughter-in-law will take care of me more about her affairs. I'm getting older and forgetful too." The old lady turned and said to Mrs. Zhang Jia.

"Sure, Mai Xiang, I heard that your wedding date is set on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. What have you prepared? Someday show me the dowry list to see if there is anything missing, so I can prepare for you. When the time comes to save money, people think we are trying to save worry and don't care about you." Mrs. Zhang Jia laughed.

"This? You don't need to bother Madam. We are a small family, we don't care about how much we have, and we don't have such particularities."

Mai Xiang really didn't want to worry about this. Liu Huilan and Li Xiangyun reviewed the list for Mai Xiang for several days. She deleted and deleted, and only prepared some commonly used things. Just buy it again.

"Nonsense, you just said that you are the granddaughter of our Zhang Jia family, and you will be a small family again? This woman's dowry is not a trivial matter. If you don't arrange it well, your in-laws will control you for the rest of your life." The old lady sank Face.

"Mama, don't worry, I'm here. Mai Xiang has earned me a lot of money in the past few years, and I should prepare a dowry for her. After all, she is also the younger sister of our beloved Belle Fujin." Amu Xin led the The girl came in, followed by a bunch of maids and women.

"Second sister, you should keep those things for our little princess."

Amuxin stared intently after hearing this, and said, "Isn't there an aunt in my little Gege's dowry? Is it possible that you want to go back on your word?"

"Second sister, I only promised the milk powder money, when did I promise the dowry?" Mai Xiang also wanted to stare, but unfortunately, there were elders around.

"That's right, the milk powder money is the dowry money, and the dowry money is the milk powder money. It means the same thing." Amu Xin waved her small hand, "That's it."

Mrs. Zhang Jia saw A Mu Xin's appearance, shook her head and smiled, "When did this child become a rascal?"

"Okay, okay, this is good, sisters should be affectionate like this." The old lady was very happy to see the way Mai Xiang and A Muxin got along.

While talking and laughing, I heard the servant girl shouting outside: "Grandfather is back."

Everyone in the room hurriedly stood up, Mai Xiang was suddenly a little nervous, she naturally remembered the first time she saw the old man, the light in the old man's eyes made Mai Xiang tremble all over.

But this time, Mai Xiang wanted to retreat and had nowhere to go.

While talking, Acton had already entered the house, and Mai Xiang glanced at the old man, who looked much older than a few years ago, and his back was slightly bent, maybe it was just recovering from a serious illness, maybe it was because he was getting older, and his hair and beard were getting worse. It's gray.

"Grandpa, Miss Mai Xiang is here to see you today." Seeing Acton looking at Mai Xiang, the old lady hurriedly said with a smile.

After hearing this, Mai Xiang hurried forward to say hello.

Acton looked at Mai Xiang, nodded, and didn't speak.

Amusin beckoned to Mai Xiang and wanted to take Mai Xiang out. She was always a little jealous of this Mafa, and usually seldom spoke in front of him except for morning and evening.

Unexpectedly, when Mai Xiang followed A Muxin and was about to walk to the door, Acton spoke.

"Miss Ye stay first."

When Mrs. Zhang Jia saw her, although she was a little puzzled, she hurriedly stood up and said, "My daughter-in-law is going to prepare dinner."

After speaking, he took Amu Xin and a room full of maids and women out.

Seeing that there was no outsider in the room, Acton looked at Mai Xiang for a full or two minutes. When Mai Xiang thought he was going to ask about his origin again, the old man suddenly said: "What do you want to do but haven't done yet?" thing?"

"Ah?" The other party didn't follow the routine, and Mai Xiang didn't react for a while.

"It's something that you can't do with your current ability. I can help you three times."

Mai Xiang's eyes flashed Master Pei's disgusting salivating look at Huaici.
