Chapter 53: Rumors are self-defeating

Lin took the sisters to meet the lord of Evian, the little girl didn't speak, and a Wang Mama beside her asked on behalf of the master. Mai Xiaohuan calmly answered the question, neither flattering nor perfunctory to Mama because Lin was around.

Ren Ran, the county lord's daughter-in-law, also sat in the living room, she took Mai Xiaohuan's "Three Character Classic", ancient poems, and asked her to write a big character and her own name.

Although she is a test sister, Mai Xiaofang is very nervous in her heart, seeing her sister who calmly copes, she knows that the lives of the two people are destined to be the same in the future.

"This is our Evian county lord, you will be responsible for helping the county lord sort out his book bag, pen and ink, and accompany the county lord to read and listen to classes. Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, and don't make noise or cause trouble in this backyard, you know? If you violate the rules here, no matter who you are, you will be kicked out, and the person you bring will take care of yourself, and we will not be responsible for her if something happens. ”

Mama Wang, who was next to the county lord of Evian, put all the things that should be explained in front, because of the relationship between Mai Xiaohuan and the county guard, the contract does not have to be signed, but those requirements and terms will still be written down in black and white, and Mai Xiaohuan will press her handprint on it after reading it.

When sending the Lin family out of the gate, Mai Xiaohuan asked for the opinion of the second sister, wanting her to follow her back to the county guard's mansion and then back to Shaxi Village.

"I'm not leaving, you're here alone, and the family is even more worried, let's go home together when you learn well."

Lin also hopes that Mai Xiaofang will stay, and the sisters will be companions, so that they will not be too lonely and homesick.

The small courtyard assigned to their sisters by Mama was an independent courtyard, and there were only two little girls in it, one was responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, and the other was called Zao'er, who was responsible for cleaning up the room and boiling water.

When Mai Xiaohuan came, she put the silver and most of the pen and ink in the county guard's mansion, and the sisters only brought the clothes and daily necessities they brought with them.

The next day, Mai Xiaohuan had breakfast and went to accompany the county lord to class, and after she asked her grandmother, she asked the second sister to stay in the yard and open up a small vegetable patch in the corner. If you have the opportunity to go out and buy some rapeseed to plant it again, it is best to bring two rabbits when you go home next time, and the sisters, especially the second sister, will also have company.

In fact, Mai Xiaohuan prefers to send her second sister home, she is an unrestrained personality, and she is not suitable to stay here at all. But she is also a stubborn temper, saying that if she can't leave, it is useless to persuade her.

Mai Xiaohuan went to the county lord's study of Evian first, put the books she used in class, and listened to the lecture together after the county lord and Master Ren came to class. Master Ren naturally won't take care of Mai Xiaohuan's learning progress, she can only write down those things that she doesn't understand first, and figure it out slowly after she goes back.

Mai Xiaohuan listened carefully to the master's explanation, the county lord's questions and answers, and sat quietly next to him as a foil.

When the county lord was writing, Mai Xiaohuan would go over to grind, at first it was thick or light, and several times it made the county lord frown. Mai Xiaohuan had to try to remember the essentials, and finally made the county lord nod with satisfaction a few days later.

They read and write in the morning; In the afternoon, she studied piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance, and Mai Xiaohuan was not interested in the afternoon class, and as an accompaniment, she couldn't go on, so she could only sit there patiently.

The ladies of rich families are also pitiful enough, in order to marry well, they keep learning various skills every day. Even if this is still not enough, after getting married, I will have to face the challenges of the juniors and juniors. Mai Xiaohuan does not envy that kind of life at all, she likes to live a free and easy life, yearns for the relationship of a couple for a lifetime, and adheres to the idea of preferring lack to abundance.

After a few days of running-in, Mai Xiaohuan gradually adapted to this rhythm of life, and the lord of Evian was quite satisfied with his new companion who didn't speak much. She came to class on time every day, listened to the master's lecture quietly after doing her part, and did not please and stammered herself like the young lady she had contacted in the past, or talked nonsense behind her back, she would say goodbye politely, and then leave quietly.

Mai Xiaohuan really just came here to study, the county lord's family is in the capital, sooner or later he will leave, the identity and status of himself and others are 108,000 miles apart, it is destined to be two worlds, why bother thinking about it!

Mama Wang and Master Ren didn't expect Mai Xiaohuan to be so discerning and sensible, and after reading with the county lord, they went back to the courtyard to stay honestly, neither asking about the county lord everywhere, nor saying much, even the partners she brought never left the hospital when they were fine.

In addition to all kinds of inconveniences in the lotus courtyard, there are still a lot of benefits, and the sisters have two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and a soup for each meal. Mai Xiaohuan no longer has to practice calligraphy on the sand, paper and pen are used casually, she drinks fine jasmine tea, and lives in a spacious room with incense, which is completely different from the previous days.

More than half a month later, the Lin family sent someone to send two sets of clothes to the sisters, because the two of them were not descendants of the Lotus Courtyard, the lord of Evian directly divided the materials, and the two of them had not yet sent them to the sewing room of the county guard's mansion, and the new clothes were delivered first.

Mai Xiaohuan asked the visitor to wait for a while, and she wrote a brief reply, asking the person to bring it to her stepmother. After the letter was written, she first sent it to the Wang Mama and Master Ren for a look.

In the letter, Mai Xiaohuan greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and also told Qu Hao to pay attention to his body, and wanted the Lin family to help find some vegetable seeds, and finally asked them to find someone to bring a letter to their family, saying that the sisters are very good here, and ask them not to worry about it.

After reading the letter, Master Ren asked curiously, "Why don't you write a letter home by yourself?" ”

This is the first time that Master Ren has talked to Mai Xiaohuan alone, although he is not asking about academic matters, Mai Xiaohuan still replied honestly: "My father and mother are illiterate, there is only one Xiucai in the village, and there is no contact with each other. ”

"You're a little village girl!" Mama Wang next to her is not calm, how can her noble county lord find a village girl to read with! The county warden's wife is too unreliable.

Now that the words have come to this point, Mai Xiaohuan simply told them about his relationship with the county guard. She repeatedly emphasized that she wanted to come to study with the county lord, and she only got it by asking the Lin family, if the county lord and Wang Mama felt that they were not suitable, please don't be angry with the Lin family and the county guard.

Through this incident, Ren Ran was impressed by Mai Xiaohuan, a child who was so young still grew up in such an environment, and was so eager to study. With a heart of cherishing talents, Ren Ran left Mai Xiaohuan for the county lord, and told her that if there is anything she doesn't understand in the future, she can find herself alone.

What a bonus! After Mai Xiaohuan bowed deeply to the two of them, he went to the people from the county guard to deliver the letter.

Knowing that the two little girls were doing well in the Lotus Courtyard, Qu Zhiyi and the Lin family were relieved, and they sent the housekeeper Qu Mang to Shaxi Village to deliver the letter.

Mai Xiaohuan sisters have been gone for almost twenty days, how can Shan Cuihua and Mai Wang not worry, Shan Cuihua looks at the village every day, not only afraid that her daughters will be sent back, but also worried that they will not eat well outside and live unaccustomedly.

At this time, there were rumors in the village that Mai Xiaofang and Mai Xiaohuan were deceived by abductors and sold, and it was even rumored that they were sold to the dirtiest and cheapest places, and I am afraid that they will not be able to return in this life.

Shan Cuihua was mad when she heard this rumor, and wanted to refute it, but she didn't know what the situation of the girls was now, whether she was left by the county lord or stayed in the county guard's mansion, and when she was depressed and about to die, Qu Mang came.

When Shan Cuihua opened the door and saw Qu Mang, it was as if she had seen a long-lost relative, and tears fell from the ground, which frightened Qu Mang back a few steps, and she didn't say a word! Why is the third lady's mother still crying!

The villagers followed the carriage to the door of Mai Wang's house, and they also wanted to know where the Mai sisters had gone, and they should come back even if they had been visiting for more than 20 days.

After watching the carriage for a long time, I only saw a middle-aged man getting out of the carriage, and a few family members moving things to McWan's house, but I didn't see the two sisters at all. Coupled with Shan Cuihua, who kept wiping her tears, the doubts in the hearts of the villagers deepened, could it be that the sister of the Maiwang family was really sold?

It's a pity that those two children don't say anything in the village, they are sensible and obedient, hey! Why is God so ruthless!

Wu swallowed melon seeds in his mouth, leaned on the side of the big tree to watch the excitement, and listened to the people next to him guessing the fate of Mai Xiaofang's sisters, and his heart blossomed.

It's good that those two dead girls won't come back! Who let them suppress their daughters, they originally just wanted to spread rumors and bury the two of them. I didn't expect God to hear his prayers and really make these two scourges disappear, which is great. If it weren't for the fact that she was the sister and aunt of Mai Xiaofang and Mai Xiaohuan, it would be too obvious to gloat, and the Wu family would want to pat their legs and laugh.

Qiao's family also hid in the crowd and observed the movements around her, since the two girls of the second sister-in-law's family went to Qingcheng County, she let her daughter come here without any trouble. The second sister-in-law didn't treat Xiao Miao badly, every time she went back, she took some food, snacks, and eggs, but there was nothing valuable. Xiao Miao, who came and went, was no longer willing to act, and the sister-in-law and mother-in-law knew that they had been taught a lesson, and the two daughters of the sister-in-law's family also beat Xiao Miao. I heard the child say that Mai Xiaoling's dead girl specially hit her face, if she hadn't protected her tightly, it is estimated that she would have to be as broken as Mai Xiaoling.

These damn things, none of them are good, and when they turn over one day, they have to be trampled under their feet.

Just when more and more people gathered, Qu Mang regained his calm expression, and after giving a salute to Shan Cuihua, he said: "The third lady has already lived in the Lotus Courtyard, that is, where the county lord lives, and has begun to study. Yesterday I sent a message back saying that everything was fine, so that our family, Mrs., and son could rest assured. Let us also bring you a letter, they have an independent courtyard to live in, four dishes and one soup for each meal, and maids to serve, please don't worry. ”

The villagers didn't care about what Shan Cuihua would do, because the crowd of onlookers had already exploded, and it turned out that the two daughters of the family were not abducted and trafficked at all, but went to Qingcheng County to accompany the county lord to study.
