Chapter 164: The Ancient Version of Blind Date
It's another year's wheat harvest season, just when everyone is in full swing to harvest grain, Mai Yonghe came to knock on the gate of the villa, saw Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua knelt down with a bang, and begged his father and mother to save his life.
Shan Cuihua sent away the idle people and others, and took this unconscious son to the backyard, Mai Wang asked people to find Mai Xiaohuan back, and now everyone is used to her taking the idea no matter what is going on at home. After Mai Xiaohuan came back, the family sat and waited for Mai Yonghe to speak.
If only his father and mother were there, he would give up his cheeks and beg for something back, facing his sister, he would still be the most difficult one in the family, and Mai Yonghe would not know where to start for a long time.
"If you don't say it, forget it, leave him here to eat lunch, go back wherever he came from!" Mai Xiaohuan drank half a cup of tea, and after a while, he saw that the eldest brother still didn't speak, stood up and raised his feet and left, the field was so busy, he didn't have time to stare at him here.
Mai Wan also stood up, and saw that he was going to collect food at home, he and Xiao Huan were not in any business, this boss! I don't know who or what I provoked outside, and it is not easy to look at this spitting appearance. Anyway, he is a farmer who digs in the soil, and he can't do big things, so he doesn't listen.
Seeing that the person was about to walk out to the door, Mai Yonghe was anxious: "Dad, don't go, help me!" Otherwise, Ruan Niang will report to the official, and your son and I will have to go to prison. ”
"Pick it up." Shan Cuihua is going to be angry with this unconscious son, it is all at this juncture, and he still talks nonsense, no wonder Xiao Huan doesn't like to deal with him.
Mai Yonghe knelt on the ground and walked to Shan Cuihua and had to confide the truth: "Ruan Niang's child is gone, I accidentally pushed her down and fell when the two of us were tearing up, and she asked me to compensate 2,000 taels of silver, otherwise I would go to the police and say that I had abducted a woman from a good family." Daddy, if she really goes to report to the official, I'll be finished, and I'll have to go to jail and beg my father and mother to save my son! ”
As soon as his words fell, Mai Wan and Shan Cuihua turned their heads to look at Mai Xiaofang together, to say that she was the only one in the family who had the ability to help solve this problem.
Attacking a woman who shares a bed with him, Mai Xiaohuan despises such behavior from the bottom of his heart. Even if the eldest brother and that Ruan Niang are not husband and wife, the two of them are husband and wife, how can he do it in the face of a pregnant woman?
"Did you really push Ruan Niang?"
"Pushed."
"I don't want to know why the two of you are quarrelling, and I won't ask Huo County for this matter. It is not right for a man to push a pregnant woman, you should learn to take responsibility for your actions, you can't think of your family as soon as something happens, and you want us to help with the aftermath, are you a three-year-old child? ”
"If you don't care, I'll go to jail."
"This crime is not too big, at most you will be imprisoned for a period of time, or you will be punished with dozens of boards, or you will die. The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people! Why do you ask for special treatment? ”
"Are you my own sister? Just because I used to treat you badly, you should seize this matter and take revenge on me! What a poisonous heart! ”
Do you poison yourself? Mai Xiaohuan didn't think so, Mai Yonghe turned around and begged Shan Cuihua, in the end, his own son, which mother could bear to see her son being beaten and imprisoned.
"Mother, if it were the other way around, the eldest brother was in Ruan Niang's position, what would you think? He's such a big person, what has he done since he got married! Do you also want to raise a Chen Hanting? If you must come out with the money, I will not stop it, but I will then go to Huo Xian Lingna to ask for a complete disconnection with him, and he will never want to get a penny from me in the future. ”
What can I do about this, Shan Cuihua understands in her heart that what her daughter said is right, her son should be taught some lessons, and she really can't do it when she sees it!
"Don't say I don't care about you at all, if you have nowhere to go after accepting the punishment, you will go to work in the new village that Huo Xianling bought for the family, where there is food and shelter, as long as you are willing to work hard, the copper plate will not be less. As for the future, it's up to you to perform. ”
"Let's do it!" Mai Wan agrees with his daughter's words, this son should make him suffer.
The two people who showed their attitude left, and Mai Yonghe knelt at the feet of Shan Cuihua and begged for mercy, he didn't want to be beaten, let alone go to jail.
"Hey! Just do what your father and Xiao Huan want! Oh Boss! Xiao Huan has already given you a chance to be a new person, if you don't grasp it well, she really won't care about you anymore, think about how to choose for yourself! ”
It is not clear when the eldest brother left the villa, but a few days later, Huo Dong asked the people around him to send a letter to the Mai family, and Mai Yonghe was beaten with twenty boards and went to Xinshan Villa to recuperate.
At the same time, there was also the news that Hao Youlan was about to get married, the man was from Qingcheng County, and this news happened to be heard by Mai Yonghai, who came to visit his father, he stood there motionless like a statue, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses and said dryly: It's good. ”
The second brother's reaction...... It won't be what you think! Because he didn't know how to comfort the second brother, Mai Xiaohuan could only pretend that he didn't find anything abnormal.
When the last crop in the field, soybeans, is recovered, it means that the autumn harvest is officially over. Mai Xiaohuan and Qu Hao were busy counting the grain output and the increase and decrease in production, summing up the experience, and after the statistics were completed, Qu Hao had to report it and forward it to the emperor!
"The little girl is not interesting enough! I found the villa and didn't even see a single figure, which caused my old man to run for more than half a day, and I will remember to cook two good dishes to treat me! ”
"Old Zhao Ge, you're here."
"Old man, you should send me a message in advance! I'm going to wait at the lodge and never go anywhere. ”
Putting down the things in their hands, the brother and sister came over to greet them, only to find that there was a boy who was as gentle as jade standing next to Zhao Gelao, nodding and smiling at the two of them!
"Ziyu, why are you here?" Qu Hao went up and patted the boy on the shoulder, it seems that the two of them are very familiar, and they should be close friends.
The boy replied to Qu Hao's punch, in Mai Xiaohuan's opinion, it was soft, and it was estimated that he was not as strong as the second sister?
Zhao Ge Lao beckoned Mai Xiaohuan to go over to meet someone, it turned out that this was his student, and Lord Ouyang was the second son of Ouyang Yan, the inspector of the capital.
wasted his surname, and he must have an elegant and poetic name for himself. But this has nothing to do with himself: "Hello Ouyang Gongzi, old man, you are chatting, I'll cook." ”
The old man looked at Mai Xiaohuan's back, smiling and squinting like a fox, taking advantage of Qu Hao's time to order someone to serve tea, he asked Ouyang Yan in a low voice: "What do you think of this little girl, it's good!" ”
"Sir, you ......" how could you ask so directly! Besides, that little girl just showed up and left, how could she be embarrassed to stare at a little girl she had just met and look endless! No matter what the teacher thinks, he just came to see his senior brother today, and he has nothing to do with others.
Nine dishes and a cup of soup, Zhao Ge Lao stroked his beard with satisfaction, this little girl's work is a good one. Mai Xiaohuan apologized to the guests because he didn't have any preparations, only a few side dishes: "Old man, I can only wronged you this meal, my father and second brother hunted roe deer a few days ago and are raising them in Yifeng Villa." In the afternoon, I will send a letter back to my family and cook a few dishes for you in the evening. ”
Ouyang Yan took advantage of everyone's speech, glanced at Mai Xiaocai a few times, a pair of watery autumn pupils, pink face and peach cheeks, not inferior to the ladies in the capital, there is a kind of calm and calm bearing, standing beside her, you can really feel the confidence exuded from the inside out.
The first impression is good, at least 80 points or more.
"Little girl, aren't you going back to the villa? Roe deer are more delicious when they are killed and eaten. ”
"I was arrested by my eldest brother as a laborer, and I can't throw it down halfway before the work is finished! If you're not in a hurry, how about waiting for me for two days. ”
"Is it the statistics of grain production and cultivation? Well, this year should be good! I also want to take a look at this, I'm not in a hurry, you guys take your time, don't make mistakes. ”
Mai Xiaohuan let them eat slowly, so he didn't bother the master and apprentice to catch up.
Zhao Ge Lao watched Mai Xiaohuan walk out and sighed: "This little girl is really good, I said Ouyang boy, how about you fight for me and let her become my apprentice and daughter-in-law." ”
Are these two people here to fight the idea of the righteous sister, Qu Hao's eyes swirled on his teacher and friends, it stands to reason that Ouyang Yan's conditions are good in all aspects, only Mai Xiaohuan is not worthy of him, and there is no such thing as him climbing high.
But Qu Hao just felt that the two of them were not suitable and couldn't make it, and Zhou Yue and his sister didn't stand together and look pleasing to the eye!
"Teacher, don't be funny, these words are nothing to say in front of me and my senior brother, let's just treat it as a joke, don't say it in front of Miss Mai."
"She's so much more generous than you." Zhao Ge disliked that his apprentice was more pedantic than an old man himself, and gave him a big white eye.
After being full of wine and food, he returned to work, and this time even Zhao Ge Lao and Ouyang Yan were involved.
An afternoon passed, and Zhao Ge Lao and Ouyang Yan admired Mai Xiaohuan from the bottom of their hearts, not only did they do things in an orderly manner, but they spoke concisely and competently, and they didn't say a word of nonsense; The material written is still clear at a glance, and it is clearer and more understandable than the way of writing that I have seen before.
Ouyang Yan couldn't help but carefully look at the capable child in front of him, aside from his appearance, his calm and organized appearance already had a fatal attraction to a normal man. He didn't know what others thought, but he was becoming more and more interested in this little girl.
"The statistics you made...... data, give me a copy of it. ”
Mai Xiaohuan looked at Qu Hao suspiciously, big brother, does your master want to change his career to become a bookkeeper? Otherwise, why do you want these things! Qu Hao vaguely guessed the master's intentions. He has a special status in front of the emperor, and the materials he submits need to be reported and reviewed at the first level, and it will take at least two months or more when they are sent to the emperor. The master can directly go to the palace, and with his help to speak, the reward that the righteous sister will get in the future will be at least doubled.
