Chapter 5 Bad Ideas

Shan Cuihua really doesn't like to deal with her own concubine, and she thinks about who can stand it every day from other people's homes. The door of the house was long open, Mai Wan was doing odd jobs on the edge of the barn, and his two sons went to the fields as usual. This year's rain has been abundant, and the wheat and soybeans are growing well, and if they continue to look like they are, the harvest will not be wrong.

"Yo! Is that the carriage of the rich man Dou? Wu, who had been using three points of energy to deal with the concubine and seven points of attention to observe the movements around him, stood up and shouted by the neck.

Her words successfully attracted the attention of all people, and after Shan Cuihua was sure that it was really the carriage of the eldest girl, she shouted: "Xiao Fang, Xiao Huan come out quickly." ”

As for it? I also want the whole family to go out to greet me, even if I and my sister go, why do I want my father and mother to go out to greet me, I haven't heard that my uncle has to wait at the door with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Mai Xiaofang felt that every time the eldest sister returned to the door, her feelings for her would fade a little, and the disgust in her heart was like a crazy weed, and it was difficult to control it.

Mai Xiaohuan put the half-sewn purse in his hand into the basket, and pushed the reluctant second sister out of the room, the situation is stronger than people, sometimes, if you don't want to bow your head, you can't do it!

The horse-drawn carriage is definitely a peculiar scenery in Shaxi Village, and the villagers who go to the market or go to the town can take the ox cart back to the beautiful scenery, and they never dare to take the carriage. In the village, only the village chief's family had an old horse, and there were many children and idle women who followed the Dou family's carriage far away to join in the fun.

Two sturdy horses, one in front and one in the back, pulled a spacious carriage with a roof and a roof curtains, and the curtains were actually blue silk embroidered with dark patterns that the common people could not wear. After the carriage stopped, the mother-in-law and maids of the Dou family hurriedly gathered around, some took small benches, some lifted the curtains, and some were smiling and waiting to help the master get off.

The first to get out of the car was a man in his thirties, with a belly that looked like a woman six or seven months pregnant, with a fat head and big ears, a shiny face, and several gold rings on his hands.

This piece of "tofu" is really fat, Mai Xiaohuan has always had reservations about his eldest sister's choice, the surname Dou is already thirty years old this year, ten years older than Mai Xiaoyuan, not only his wife died, he has two daughters, and he has several concubines. Is it really worth it to sell your youth just to put on silk and eat delicious dishes, and to go back to your parents' house and be envied by your neighbors?

I must never be a second Mai Xiaoyuan, I can earn it with my own hands if I have no money, and I can make it better by working hard when I am poor, why do I have to rely on others!

"What are you doing in a daze!" It wasn't until he was poked the forehead that Mai Xiaohuan came back to his senses, and it seemed to be a neon flash in front of him, and the clothes and jewelry were shining in his eyes.

Mai Xiaoyuan is really good, with apricot eyes, willow eyebrows, fair skin, and the only fly in the ointment is that there is a mole on the tip of the eyebrow. And it was the light that stained this mole on the eyebrows that she was favored by the old lady of the Dou family on the way to incense, and was handpicked as her daughter-in-law.

Why can't she look down on herself! Mai Xiaohuan took a few steps back, and pulled away from the nondescript eldest sister who was shiny and shiny, obviously at a good age, and had to dress up. In view of the fact that the two people have very different visions and hobbies, Mai Xiaohuan decided to maintain a good relationship with her.

Mai Xiaofang rushed over and stood in the middle of the two of them, glaring at Mai Xiaoyuan angrily: "Why are you always bullying Xiao Huan, you want to play prestige and play elsewhere, and the two of us are not your servants." ”

Dou Liangfu frowned and looked at it, what kind of sister-in-law is this, but she is a wild girl, she dares to be disrespectful to the rich lady, if it weren't for the fact that she is a daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, she should let her mother-in-law go over and slap her mouth.

After he swept the Mai sisters contemptuously, his eyes flashed, and he didn't expect that the Mai sisters were quite outstanding, and the older one was only a little darker, and her appearance was no worse than her sister; The little one...... Judging from Dou Liangfu's perennial mixed eyes in the pile of women, Mai Xiaohuan's eyes are better than her two sisters, her facial features are small and exquisite, and the only fly in the ointment is that she is too thin.

Do you want to put some money on their sisters? In the future, it is a good choice to give these two girls to business partners or to the prefectural order.

He rolled his eyes, and with a fake smile on his face, he persuaded Mai Xiaoyuan, who was already a little unhappy: "Your sisters have a really good relationship, you must be closer and closer in the future." After the words fell, he didn't forget to glance meaningfully at the stunned Mai Xiaoyuan, and pinched her waist with his big hand.

Although he didn't understand what Dou Liangfu meant, Mai Xiaoyuan still closed his mouth obediently. Others see her as a rich lady with infinite scenery, but she herself knows that the power of the Dou family has always been controlled by her mother-in-law and husband, and their good treatment is completely for the sake of their two sons. If it weren't for the old lady desperately, if he hadn't tried his best to coax Dou Liangfu, he might not even be able to maintain this superficial scenery.

Therefore, Mai Xiaoyuan never dared to disobey Dou Liangfu's intentions, even if there was more dissatisfaction in his heart, he had to have a submissive smile on his face.

"Yo! I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiaoyuan is getting more and more handsome, and Dou Yuanwai is also getting more and more energetic, you two stand together, not to mention how much you match. Wu opened his eyes and said nonsense, without blinking his eyelids, but unfortunately Dou Liangfu didn't even give her a smirk, he directly passed Wu and Shan Cuihua to say hello, and swaggered into the courtyard of the Mai family.

Wu stood stiffly in place, stretched out to touch Mai Xiaoyuan's hand, and held it in the air in embarrassment. Mai Xiaofang grabbed her sister's arm, stifled a smile, bypassed the mother-in-law and maid who were carrying things, and ran back to the yard.

The eldest sister and her family have been here for a long time, and they have done a good job in this matter.

Mai Xiaohuan called "eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law" in a low voice, turned her head to the stove, it was almost noon now, and the meal should be prepared. When the lid is lifted, the aroma of meat comes to the face, chickens are stewed in the pot, buttoned meat, pork ribs and salted eggs are stewed on the curtain, white rice is stuffed in the adjacent pot, and fish is stewed on the small stove.

This is already the highest standard of hospitality in my own home, and I use it to greet my son-in-law today, and I don't know if they will be satisfied.

Mai Xiaoyuan fanned with a handkerchief and shouted: "Xiao Huan quickly cover the pot, the smell of fish and pork are mixed together, smelling nauseous and disgusting." ”

What does this mean? It's hard to eat after a while, and put chicken, pork, and fish on three tables separately, so it is inevitable to have a skewer flavor! I'm really curious about what their Dou family's meals are like, or if the level of their chefs has reached the point of removing the original taste of the ingredients.
