Tang Yujun came to invite the Mai family sisters to Tang Mansion as guests, this time not only Mai Xiaofang shook her head, but Mai Xiaohuan also refused. They couldn't come up with decent gifts for visiting, and they weren't familiar with the Tang family at all, so why bother adding trouble to both sides!

The mouth of his persuasion here is dry, but the sisters still refuse, Tang Yujun had no choice but to ask Qu Hao for help, Qu Hao probably guessed the reason why Mai Xiaohuan refused to go to Tang's house, because he was afraid of being looked down upon, and he was even more afraid of causing trouble.

Qu Hao said to the Mai family sisters: "The Qu family and the Tang family usually come and go, you two just have a normal meeting, don't be too nervous." Besides, Tang Yujun collected so many things from the Mai family, and let him have a meal, which was cheap for him. ”

Although Qu Hao said it easily, Mai Xiaohuan still refused, Mai Xiaofang decided to listen to her sister, she would follow her own if she went, and she would stay in Qufu honestly if she didn't go.

"I'll just say that my cousin can't please move these two girls, he still doesn't believe it, Xiao Huan still doesn't recognize me!"

Mai Xiaohuan followed the prestige, and saw Tang Yubo walking slowly from a distance, this can be said to be the benefactor of the Mai family, if he hadn't come forward in time that day, grandma, eldest mother and second sister might have started a fight.

"Young Master Tang is good." Mai Xiaohuan greeted enthusiastically, in exchange for Tang Yubo's disgusted glance, Qu Hao is the eldest brother, even if he can't mix with the second brother, he shouldn't become Young Master Tang, it's really close and immediate!

It's good that my cousin is here, these two girls can't handle it themselves, so let the scheming cousin persuade them!

With Tang Yubo and Qu Hao persuading each other, Mai Xiaohuan would be too unkind if she insisted on refusing to nod, she agreed, Mai Xiaofang naturally had no opinion, until this time Tang Yujun dared to speak out, he said with resentment in his tone: "Everyone else has more face than me, and it is too difficult for you two to invite." ”

"We don't know the Tang family well, and we don't know any rules, it is precisely because we treat you as a friend that we are afraid of embarrassing you." Mai Xiaohuan couldn't help but explain.

"Who dares to laugh at you, see if I don't beat him down."

After the matter was finalized, the Tang brothers had a meal in the county guard mansion by the way, and without them having to speak, Mai Xiaohuan changed his clothes and walked to the kitchen. The Qu family lives in Qingcheng County, and it is the county guard's mansion, of course, the ingredients for cooking are better than those of Mai Jiaquan, and the taste is better.

Tang Yujun's mouth was oily when he ate, and when six or seven people ate together, he counted the bones and crumbs in front of him. He handed over a sweat towel with a maid, touched his mouth and hands, rubbed his stomach for a long time, and couldn't help but ask Mai Xiaohuan: "Why don't you consider staying in our Tang family as a chef, how about I give you fifty taels of silver every year?" ”

It's not good, Mai Xiaohuan took tonight's meal as an example to explain that he can only make stews, steaming and soup, and he can't cope with those dishes that are stir-fried and stir-fried at all.

Tang Yujun asked for a few more years, and Mai Xiaofang broke up for his sister, so the two quarreled again at the dinner table, and in the end, if Qu Hao and Tang Yubo hadn't come forward to mediate, the two of them might have been able to fight until midnight.

After breakfast the next day, the sisters helped each other comb their hair and put on new dresses, and Mai Xiaofang turned around on the ground a few times, very satisfied with her cherry red dress. Looking at my sister wearing a lotus blue skirt on her body, she looks very much like Miss Dahu, no wonder she wants to study, because when she looks at her sister, she doesn't look like a little girl in the village.

Tang Yujun came to pick up people in person, and Qu Hao accompanied the sisters to greet Mrs. Tang and went to the yamen to help the county guard father. It is said that in order to welcome that distinguished guest, many people in Qingcheng County were busy with this matter. When Qu Hao was leaving, he said that he would pick up the sisters and go home in the afternoon, and Tang Yujun patted his chest and promised that he would pick up people and send them back.

"You two come over here and I'll take a look." The first gray-haired, loving old lady beckoned to the sisters, she pinched Mai Xiaofang's arm and nodded and said, "This child has a good body and bones, and he looks smart." ”

When he touched Mai Xiaohuan's delicate little hand again, he said with pity in his tone: "This child is too thin, on this little face, I can see a pair of big eyes flickering, you two are really sisters?" ”

"We are sisters, my sister has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has been bullied by outsiders, but I have never bullied her." Mai Xiaofang shook her hand to clarify for herself, the whole family, except for her mother, is the best for her sister.

Tang Yujun stood up to testify for Mai Xiaofang, and by the way, he told the story of his acquaintance with the Mai sisters. The image of Mai Xiaofang's female man not only shocked the old lady, but even the two wives of the Tang family who were sitting on the side looked at Mai Xiaofang again, this child is too ...... Too...... It's too tough.

Mai Xiaofang glared at Tang Yujun angrily, and he was embarrassed to say that even if he did it again, he would protect his sister and be the opposite of him, should he let himself watch his sister being taken away?

The old lady pointed at her grandson with a cane and scolded with a smile: "I think Miss Xiaofang has done a good job, she is a good girl with affection and righteousness, if it were me, I would do the same." ”

For the sake of her relatives to have the courage to fight against the evil forces, in the face of injustice, she knows to stand up and resist, who can say that she is doing something wrong? Mrs. Tang was impressed by Mai Xiaofang because of this incident.

Finally found a confidant, Mai Xiaofang came to the old lady, and the two of them chatted about everything as if they had forgotten their old friends, but they were a little crooked just chatting. Mai Xiaofang told the old lady about her glorious deeds, such as going up to the tree to dig out the bird's nest; how to fight wild bees; When I went down to the river to fish, my shoes were washed away, and when I went home, I was chased and beaten by my mother's relatives all over the yard......

She is not stupid, and she did not mention the disputes between her family and her grandmother and aunt. Several ladies and wives who had never been to the countryside were like listening to stories, and in the end they were fascinated by it, and the old lady even yearned for it, saying that if she was ten years younger, she would definitely go to the village where Mai Xiaofang lived.

"You're not old! People of your age in our village still go down to the fields to harvest wheat! ”

"I don't think I'm old, Xiaofang! Why don't I go to your house and help cut the wheat? ”

"Good! When the time comes, we will burn wheat in the field and eat it, and I tell you that it is especially fragrant to sit in the shade of a big tree and eat. ”

Mai Xiaohuan smiled apologetically at the two wives of the Tang family, only the second sister thought of the idea of abducting the old lady of the family to the ground, and it really had nothing to do with herself!

Tang Yujun also made fun of it, asking to help the Mai family collect the land together, and was disgusted by Mai Xiaofang, the strange thing is that he is not annoyed or angry, even if he is hit by Mai Xiaofang, he is smiling, this is not like his style!

His mother Bai's eyes swirled around on a pair of children, and at the end she lowered her head and drank tea, and she couldn't see any emotion on her face. Mai Xiaohuan also pretended not to see anything unusual, and the whole room looked at the old man and the two young people chatting enthusiastically, until a maid came over and shouted that it was time for everyone to eat, and the three of them stopped.

The old lady warmly invited the two little girls to stay at her house for two days, and Tang Yujun was very supportive of his grandmother's proposal and joined the lobby.

"We've been bothering you for so long, if you stay at night, I'm afraid that the second sister will tell a story and disturb you won't sleep well." Besides, we should go back and clean up, and we should be back in the village in a few days. After coming out for so many days, I don't know what my mother is worried about at home! Mai Xiaohuan tactfully rejected Mrs. Tang's kindness, and at the same time comforted Tang Yujun's mother, don't worry, we are going back to the village, as long as you watch your son, there is probably not much chance for everyone to meet again.

The old lady asked the maid to bring two purses, which were filled with silver nude seeds and silver melon seeds, and the Mai sisters postponed and refused to accept them, until the old lady was a little unhappy, and the frightened two daughters-in-law stood up, Mai Xiaohuan reluctantly accepted them, and said in her heart that Qingcheng County really didn't want to come again.

Tang Yubo's mother gave each of them a gold bracelet, and Bai each gave a pair of gold earrings with jade pendants hanging on them.

I can't postpone it, and I don't want it, Mai Xiaohuan regrets coming to the Tang family this time, and when she returns to the county guard's mansion, Mai Xiaohuan wants to ask the Lin family to return the things after she leaves. Lin smiled and told her that the old lady of the Tang family couldn't count the number of silver nudes she rewarded every year, so they didn't have to mind.

People can reward so much money casually, but their own family lives at the bottom of society, and they can compete for a few days for a little family property and clothing.

Mai Xiaohuan now really understands what the difference is, she tossed and turned in bed for a night, and became more and more determined in her belief in making a fortune, making preparations for a year or two, and after the sweet potato is accepted by everyone, she will carry out follow-up plans......

She didn't know when she fell asleep, anyway, when she woke up, she had missed the meal, and the second sister was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at herself.

"Ahh You woke up, I thought you were sick! If you can't afford it again, I'll have to trouble Aunt Lin to ask for a doctor. ”

Although Mai Xiaohuan felt that his head was heavy, he still beat his spirits and got dressed, drank a bowl of hot porridge, and looked at the direction of the sun.

The most talked about by the people in Qingcheng County now is the upcoming guest, who is said to be the little county lord of a prince's family; It is said that he was squeezed out of the palace to avoid the limelight; It is said that this was not born to the princess, but was born to the prince's favorite woman......

All of this has nothing to do with Mai Xiaohuan, but Mai Xiaofang leans over whenever she hears someone talking about it, the flames of gossip are getting stronger and stronger, if it weren't for Mai Xiaohuan dragging her back to the county guard's mansion, it is estimated that she would have to soak in the teahouse for a day.

This stupid girl, just ask Brother Qu if you want to know about this, he is helping with this matter now! Hearsay is not known in detail by insiders.
