Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 276
After paying homage to heaven and earth, Mai Xiang was sent into a separate yard. The yard felt small. After walking about ten steps, she stood in front of the steps of the upper room. At this time, Mai Di and Mai Lu were hanging at the door of the new house After the new door curtain was hung, Qian and Sun went in to lay the bedding.

While standing outside the door, Mai Xiang slandered this broken rule, while secretly turning her neck. Fortunately, Qian and Sun moved quickly, and it didn't take long for Mai Xiang to sit cross-legged in the tent, and just breathed a sigh of relief. Open Mai Xiang's skirt, and the children began to sprinkle some happy fruits such as peanuts, longan, red dates, lotus seeds, etc. on Mai Xiang's body. Have fun.

As soon as the happy fruits were scattered, Mai Xiang heard Xi Niang shouting: "Take off the hijab, take off the hijab."

Huaici took the red silk-wrapped scale from Xi Niang's hand, approached Mai Xiang, slowly lifted Mai Xiang's red hijab, Mai Xiang slowly raised her head, and looked at the man in front of her.

Today, Huaici is wearing a long red gown and mandarin jacket, and a red tasseled cap on his head, making his face more like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, his color like flowers in the dawn of spring, his temples cut like knives, his eyebrows like ink paintings, his eyes like lacquer spots, and his nose like a hanging bridge. With red lips on her lips, Mai Xiang looked at the face in front of her for five years, and admitted for the first time that this guy really looks too evil, no wonder there are so many tribulations.

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Huai Ci looked at the face in front of her, restrained the excitement in her heart, and asked softly.

At this moment, Mai Xiang, against the backdrop of the red wedding dress and the phoenix crown on her head, looks pretty, with red lips and white teeth, especially the eyes, which are full of water, looking bright, which adds a lot to Mai Xiang.

"Grandpa, Mai Xiang, come, let's eat the meat of our descendants." Mrs. Qian came over with a plate, interrupting their staring at each other.

It was only then that Mai Xiang noticed a room full of family members and children. They were all stunned by yesterday's dowry, and today they wanted to see what the new bride looked like. Mai Xiang heard the discussions from the people around her. , said that her Fengguanxiapei is beautiful, even better than Kangyi's, but it's a pity that people are not as beautiful as Kangyi and so on.

Mai Xiang looked at Huai Ci, Huai Ci turned a deaf ear to this, took the plate from Qian Shi with a smile, put one to Mai Xiang's mouth, Mai Xiang took a bite, and sure enough, it was stuffed with raw meat as shown on TV. of.

"Is it delicious?"

"Raw." Mai Xiang bowed her head according to the rules and answered.

"It's good, it's good." Sun said with a smile on the side.

After eating the dumplings of descendants, someone brought Mai Xiang a bowl of longevity noodles, saying that it was "immortality for generations to come". The wife who got married gave it to the groom, and the wife who sent him off gave it to the bride. They each drank half a glass and then exchanged glasses. After drinking the cup of wine, Huai Ci carefully took off the phoenix crown for Mai Xiang.

At this time, the banquet outside started, Huaici went out to toast, and the women and children of the whole room also went out, Feng Ye hurriedly packed the things on the kang.

Now Mai Xiang has time to take a good look at her new house. The house is not big, only [-] to [-] square meters. A big kang under the south wall takes up one-third of the room. Divide the whole kang into two. There are four red satin backrests on the head of the kang, and a small rosewood table in the middle. On the table is a set of teapots with purple sand pots.Four large boxes were placed at the end of the kang, and a bright red curtain was hung, inside which were two red silk quilts side by side.There is a round table in the middle of the room, four hollow carved round piers, a wardrobe and dressing table under the west wall, a small glass mirror on the dressing table, a chaise longue under the north wall, and a pair of pastel plum blossoms on the ground at the entrance. A bottle with a few blooming red plums inserted in it.

When Mai Xiang was looking around, Ziju came in with a little maid.

"Big girl, what are you looking at? Your dowry is not here. When the dowry was delivered yesterday, everyone was shocked. My dear, even the old lady said that she had never seen so much dowry. It was several times more when you entered the door. The yard on your side can't fit, and the old lady specially made a big warehouse for you. "

Mai Xiang looked at her silently, and Feng Ye beside her said: "Miss Biao, when you get here, you have to follow the rules of your husband's family and call our girl Second Mistress."

Zi Ju's face changed slightly when she heard this, she glared at Feng Ye, and said, "There are no outsiders in this meeting, we sisters chat casually, how can it be so formal?"

"It's better to be well-behaved. Miss Biao has to get used to it. Later, the old lady heard it. Don't say you don't understand the rules, but mistakenly think that we broke the rules of the Wan family and it's not good." Maple Leaf was still relentless. .

"Understood, Second Mistress." When Ziju got angry, she glared at Mai Xiang again, and then left angrily.

Seeing that there was no outsider in the room, Feng Ye hurriedly directed the two maidservants Xing Ye and Tao Ye to put Mai Xiang's belongings back, and then led Mai Xiang out to have a look.The main room is not big. There is a long desk with an incense burner and a plum vase on it. On the wall above the desk is a meticulous painting of a pine and crane. The signature is a bit small, and Mai Xiang cannot be seen clearly.There are two hardwood carved high chairs on both sides, and there is a high table in the middle. The east room on the opposite side is similar to the room where Mai Xiang lives. There are some things that Mai Xiang brought here today, and Hong Ye is counting them.

"Miss, don't worry about it, this yard is so small, there are three main rooms, two side rooms on one side, a small kitchen room and a clean room, obviously we can't store our things." Hua Ye walked in from the outside and said.

Huaye originally belonged to Huaiyuan, but Huaici lived in Wan's family, and he couldn't live without someone of his own, and the servant could not follow him into the inner courtyard. In Huaiyuan, she took care of the house and trained the four newly bought girls.

"Where is Grandma?" Mai Xiang asked.

"It's bigger than this. There are also three main rooms, and two side rooms have been added. The wife said that she had to wrong us first. Anyway, we won't live here for long. The old lady saw the dowry yesterday, but she said, In the spring of next year, we will also build two upside-down seats as warehouses," said Li Ye.

After hearing this, Mai Xiang thought to herself, her dowry of more than 200 is really eye-catching, and there are too many valuable things, so she must be worried if she doesn't keep them by her side.

Just as Mai Xiang was about to lift the curtain to see how big the yard outside was, she saw Wan Chengmin coming over with a few maids and women carrying some food boxes.

"Hello, auntie." Mai Xiang saluted.

"Okay, our bride is so beautiful today, come here, are you hungry, come and have something to eat." Wan Chengmin took Mai Xiang's hand and entered the room.

Feng Ye hurriedly cleaned up the things on the kang table, and the maid brought by Wan Chengmin put out some exquisite side dishes and a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Auntie, don't you need some?" Mai Xiang asked.

"No, I was just outside to accompany guests, and it took me a while to stay. My mother thought you must be hungry, and was about to send someone to bring it to you. I will stop by to see you."

"Thank you." Mai Xiang didn't have much contact with Wan Chengmin, and she really didn't know him well.

"You child, why are you being polite to me, eat quickly." Wan Chengmin looked at the house while talking, and said: "This yard is a bit small, there is no way, the land in this city is very expensive, I think It's also difficult to find a suitable place, it's in Changhe's hometown, our Wan's big courtyard, but you can pick whatever you want."

When Mai Xiang heard the other party's words, she couldn't help thinking that when Wan's family bought a house, they did say that they couldn't find a suitable place and wanted Huaici's garden. Could it be that Mrs. Wan deliberately arranged this small yard for Mai Xiang?I just wanted to remind the old man and the old lady that it wasn't that Wan's family didn't give up Mai Xiang's house, and that Huai Ci could only be blamed for not giving up the house back then?
It's not that Mai Xiang is careless, just like Mrs. Wan said, that's what Bao Buqi thinks in his heart. Of course, it is also possible to deliberately find fault with Mai Xiang, so that Mai Xiang can't live, and moves out of Wan's house, so as not to be an eyesore in front of her.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, is this food not suitable for you?" Wan Chengmin hurriedly asked when he saw that Mai Xiang was holding up his chopsticks.

"No, it's delicious. I'm not picky about food." Mai Xiang quickly regained her composure.

"I heard that Prince Li's family and Jinbeile's family came to see you off today, and it was Prince Li who carried you into the sedan chair in person. Tsk tsk, I heard that everyone was stunned at the time. Unfortunately, if I go to greet you That's good, I haven't seen Prince Li yet."

Just as Mai Xiang was about to open her mouth, Zhaolian came in holding Zhaohan's hand. Mai Xiang hurriedly hugged the two of them, touched their hands and asked, "Is it cold? Have you eaten? Where are your people?" "

Wan Yun hurriedly said outside: "The slaves are here, and so are the wet nurses and mothers."

"Hey, this is the son of Prince Li, he looks really handsome." Wan Chengmin stretched out his hand to touch Zhao Lian.

"Don't touch me." Zhao Lian avoided the opponent's hand.

"Ah?" Wan Chengmin withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

"Who are you?" Zhao Lian didn't want to talk to Wan Chengmin at first, but when she saw her sitting opposite Mai Xiang, she could only answer.

"I'm the little girl of the Wan family, and your aunt's aunt."

"Auntie? Then you remember, don't bully my aunt, otherwise the present son will definitely ask for it back when he finds out." Zhao Lian said with a stern face.

"Yes, yes, I dare not." Wan Chengmin opened his eyes wide for a moment, and was about to turn his face when he saw Zhaohan looking at her with a smile, and quickly agreed respectfully.

Seeing Wan Chengmin's wonderful performance in front of the two five-year-old children, Mai Xiang wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, because she felt internally hurt.However, he came to a conclusion that this Wan Chengmin might not be a good person.

"Auntie, I'm going back home, I'll see you in a few days." Zhao Lian gave Mai Xiang a supercilious look, and said goodbye solemnly.

"Okay, I'll see you off." Mai Xiang hurriedly got off the kang.

After leaving the room, Zhao Lian saw that there was no outsider, so she hurriedly tugged Mai Xiang's skirt, Mai Xiang bent down, hugged him and Zhao Han and kissed each other, and then they bounced away.
