Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 277 The First Level

Just as Mai Xiang sent Zhao Lian away, Mai Huang came to say goodbye again, just as Mai Huang left, Huai Ci came in again with a food box.

Wan Chengmin felt a little weird seeing Huaici, as if she was a little afraid of Huaici, wanted to get close but didn't dare to get close, looked at Huaici's face, sighed, said goodbye and left.

"What is she doing here?"

"Dinner is here. How are you, drunk?" Seeing Huai Ci's face like a boiled shrimp, Mai Xiang felt sorry for him.

Huai Ci took Mai Xiang's hand and said, "I really have a headache, rub it for me."

Mai Xiang hurriedly ordered Maple Leaf to make a pot of tea, but suddenly felt that she couldn't sleep at night after drinking strong tea, and then ordered Zhu Ye to ask the stove for some honey, and made a cup of honey water and brought it.

"You have a bad relationship with your aunt?" Mai Xiang asked while rubbing her head for him.

"It's not bad, I haven't met a few times." Huaici said with eyes closed.

"Then who else is there in your family?" After Mai Xiang asked, she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. She had been with him for several years, and she really didn't know his relatives.

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"I've already moved in, so I have to take care of it. Besides, there will be trouble in the bridal chamber at night. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

It was getting dark outside, and Mai Xiang was indeed a little worried, wondering what was going on in the bridal chamber at night?
"Don't worry, no one will disturb us." After Huai Ci finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, but his hand held Mai Xiang's hand and pressed it against his face.

It was getting dark, and seeing the scattered six or seven people in her room, Mai Xiang knew why Huai Ci said that no one came to bother them.

It turns out that this trouble in the bridal chamber was originally a matter for the peers and juniors. The population of the Wan family has always been sparse, and Huai Ci didn't have any cousins, only one half-brother and three half-sisters. There are all Mrs. Wan's natal family over there, and Huai Ci has never been in touch with each other. Therefore, only Wan Zhigao and his wife and Huai Ci's three half-sisters came to the bridal chamber that night.

When Wan Zhigao saw Mai Xiang, he always felt a little guilty and unwilling. The guilt was naturally because Mai Xiang knew the secret of his private teaching and receiving. He was unwilling because he failed the exam this time but Huai Ci passed the exam. He said that he was not jealous at all. Impossible, he doesn't think that his congenital conditions are worse than Huai Ci, but that Huai Ci has received too much support from the day after tomorrow, such as Prince Li, Ji Xiaolan, and Acton, for example, he even thought about it, if He didn't take a fancy to Kang Yi's beauty at the beginning, so it is only natural that Mai Xiang married him, and it is only natural that he should enjoy these connections of Mai Xiang.

Especially when Mai Xiang's dowry was brought in yesterday, Wan Zhigao sighed again, if he hadn't forced his father to withdraw the marriage back then, everything about Mai Xiang would belong to him today!
When Kang Yi saw Mai Xiang, she had a very subtle feeling in her heart. She didn't know that Wan Zhigao had a verbal engagement with Mai Xiang. She just felt that after Mai Xiang came in, she was no longer the favored young mistress of the Wan family. , people are talking about this second young mistress.

As for the two concubine daughters of the Wan family, they didn't have much contact with Huaici, and Huaici also treated them both sincerely, so how could they be in a playful mood?
Therefore, these people sat for a while symbolically and then left.

"I'm exhausted, this day seems to be longer than a year." Mai Xiang saw that everyone had left, the courtyard door was closed, and she lay faceless on the kang, she just wanted to sleep.

"Okay, I'll take care of my sister's washing." Huai Ci said while taking off the hairpin ring from Mai Xiang's head.

. . . . . . .

After such a toss, Mai Xiang couldn't sleep, she was worried, how can someone explain the injury on Huai Ci's face tomorrow morning?

"Daughter-in-law, are you still angry with me?" Huaici was filled with emotion, and secretly vowed to treat her well for the rest of his life.

"Your face, don't you feel something is wrong?" Mai Xiang wondered, doesn't this person feel pain?

"My face?" Someone touched it belatedly and said, "It seems a little hot."

"I don't care. This is something you provoked. You should explain it to the elders tomorrow morning."

"Okay, let me say, my daughter-in-law accidentally scratched her while she was asleep."

"What if it's broken?"

"It's just right if you lose your face, as long as you don't dislike me, be good and go to bed." Although Huai Ci has a lot to say to Mai Xiang, he knows that Mai Xiang will get up early tomorrow morning to make breakfast for the elders and visit Wan's family. Elder, so, he couldn't bear to harass Mai Xiang anymore.

Huai Ci patted Mai Xiang's back, while whispering in Mai Xiang's ear, this embrace is familiar to Mai Xiang, and Mai Xiang soon relaxed, this day is really too tiring, she fell into it after a while Dreamland.

The next morning, Mai Xiang unfortunately overslept, not only she overslept, but also Huai Ci and Feng Ye overslept, and it was Cotinus Ye who woke up first, which woke everyone up one by one.

Mai Xiang washed up quickly, tied her hair in a bun, fixed it with a hairpin, and took the cotinus leaves and red leaves to the kitchen, because she didn't know where the Wan family's kitchen was.

As soon as Mai Xiang entered the kitchen, Li Ye gave each cook a thick red envelope with great eyesight, so there were people who washed, cut, handed and lit the vegetables, and Mai Xiang finished them neatly. After a table of dishes, he went back to his room, changed his clothes, asked Feng Ye to do a new hairstyle, and then rushed to the upper room with the things Feng Ye had prepared and Huai Ci.

This is the second time that Mai Xiang has entered the upper room of Wan's family. Yesterday she also worshiped here, but at that time she was covered with a veil and couldn't see anything. After seeing it now, the upper room is not too small. They bought six high chairs, each with a footrest under each high chair, and a footstove on the footrest, and each of them held a small hand stove in their hands.

Mrs. Wan and Mr. Wan were seated in the main seats in the upper room. There was a pair of futons in front of them. Huai Ci took Mai Xiang's hand and walked over, knelt down and kowtowed three times. Tea, Mai Xiang and Huai Ci took the tea and raised it above their heads.

"Grandfather and grandmother, please drink tea."

"Okay, okay, I finally got my grandson's daughter-in-law's tea." The old lady took the teacup with a smile on her face, and was taken aback when she saw the wound on Huai Ci's face, then looked at the expressions of the two of them, and didn't say much. What, I threw an emerald bead necklace into the tray of Cotinus leaf, and the water head is very good.

The last time Mai Xiang bought an emerald buddhist bracelet, she spent 100 taels of silver. I guess this one will cost about 200 taels of silver, because Mai Xiang saw the unwillingness in the eyes of Mrs. Wan Jiang. .

"Get up quickly and live a good life in the future. If I can be a Jinshi next year, I will be satisfied." Wan Baocai also had a smile on his face. This granddaughter-in-law is too worthwhile to marry, and the dowry brought in almost catches up with Wan's family. Family property.

"Yes, grandson, do your best." After Huai Ci finished speaking, she helped Mai Xiang to stand up, and Feng Ye quickly put the futon in front of Wan Chengyao and Jiang Shi.
