Chapter 165: Persuasion
Two days later, all the statistical work was finally over, and Mai Xiaohuan rubbed his sore neck and laughed at herself: "Big brother, why do you say I'm so active?" There is no moon silver to take, and there is no reward, oops! I feel like I've lost a lot of money. β
Qu Hao rubbed her hair, and after her hair was successfully transformed into a bird's nest, Qu Hao stopped and teased: "It's much more pleasing to the eye, don't worry!" There will definitely be benefits, but if you can't buy you two bird eggs and come back, maybe we can eat two more delicious meals next year. β
Knowing that he was bullying himself, Mai Xiaohuan stepped aside and spread his hair, pulled it together with his fingers, and tied up a high ponytail. She had to go home, and she left home for a few days, I don't know what happened to her father, second brother, and second sister, and she and her father and mother have discussed that they want to prepare a sixty-six dowry for the second sister!
"I don't have anything to see in the villa right now, and I want to stay for a few days, if I can stay in a room that is very warm without burning charcoal pots, it will be more comfortable."
The old man is really like a child, Mai Xiaohuan promised to give him the drawings to renovate the house, Qu Hao grabbed him, and Mai Xiaohuan was able to get out smoothly.
When the carriage entered Mingle County to play sharp, Mai Xiaohuan unexpectedly heard a rumor. The Hao family regretted their marriage because of Zhang Yuan's failure and wanted to marry their daughter to Qingcheng County, but after the man knew Miss Hao's character, he directly withdrew from his family, and Miss Hao committed suicide by hanging the beam and was rescued, and now I don't know whether she is dead or alive.
"Quick, go to Hao's house." Mai Xiaohuan didn't eat anymore and urged the coachman to set off quickly.
The entire Hao Mansion was shrouded in low pressure, and the concierge's face was extremely ugly, frowning and staring at the carriage parked at the door of his house, who is this? Those who talk about the wind and cold talk still take the opportunity to inquire about gossip.
"Uncle, my friend of your young lady, Mai Xiaohuan......" Before the self-introduction is finished, the porter over there has already run away, is he so unwelcome? I thought that leaving Shaxi Village would get rid of the embarrassing situation of my grandmother not loving my uncle and not loving me!
"Xiao Huan, is that you? You're here! β
Why is the second sister here, when she saw the real person standing in front of her, Mai Xiaohuan guessed that Hao Youlan's condition must not be very good, otherwise their family would not have brought the second sister here, but they don't know if she is on a hunger strike, or if she really did something stupid because of rumors.
Hao Youlan is definitely the most favored at home, living in a two-story independent embroidery building, with a large yard planted with flowers, pavilions and water pavilions.
At this moment, outside the door of a room on the second floor, more than a dozen people gathered, everyone was anxious, and they didn't dare to rush in.
"Are you Miss Xiaohuan? Help convince Yulan! She still has injuries on her body, she hasn't been medicated or eaten for two days. A middle-aged woman who was crying with red and swollen eyes, and her body was completely supported by the mother-in-law next to her, so she didn't fall down and begged Mai Xiaohuan.
"I'll try!" Mai Xiaohuan walked to the door and bowed his head to ponder for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Youlan, I'm Xiaohuan, on the way home from Tongbei County, I heard someone talking about you in a restaurant, so I came here to tell you about it." β
This kid can't speak! The family was afraid that Youlan wouldn't be able to think about it, and she didn't dare to mention a word about the rumors, she was good, not like someone who came to persuade people, but more like someone who came to talk to gossip, it seems that she shouldn't have any hope for the two sisters.
There was still no sound in the room, and just when everyone fell into disappointment again, Mai Xiaohuan opened his mouth again: "Since you don't want to listen, then I'll leave, those people say that they have noses and eyes, I still want to tell you about it!" Forget it, I'll go home first, goodbye Yulan! β
Let's go! I've never seen such a little girl who can't speak, and the more people don't like to listen to anything, the more she says.
"Xiao Huan......" There was a weak call in the room, and the Hao family rushed to the door, and Mai Xiaohuan put his finger to his lips and told them not to make a sound.
"Xiao Huan, can you come in alone?"
Oh my! She was finally willing to let people into her room, Hao Youlan's mother wanted to kneel down for Mai Xiaohuan, everyone said that the Mai family had a clever little girl, and now she has seen it.
"I've been in the carriage for a long time, and I've just ordered food in the restaurant before I have eaten a few bites, you have to accompany me to eat first, and then talk about other things when you're full."
"Hmm!" After another half a day, an inaudible response came from the room, and Mrs. Hao hurriedly sent someone down to prepare. Because Hao Youlan hasn't eaten much in the past two days, there is always a mother-in-law on standby in the kitchen, and soup, supplements, and hot porridge are ready at any time, so the meals are served quickly.
There are two layers of plates stacked on the tray, and there is a maid carrying a food box in the back, where is Hao Youlan in the mood to eat these greasy, body-replenishing meals! Mai Xiaohuan walked into the room with two bowls of porridge and two plates of side dishes, and when the door was closed, the people outside were scattered, what role could it be to gather here, it was better to go back and rest. Hao Youlan's mother is obviously about to be unable to support it, don't be good here, and if the Hao family falls over there, it will be even more chaotic.
Hao Youlan leaned against the bedpost with her body propped up, the marks on her neck were so eye-catching, this girl was too stupid, didn't this make her relatives and enemies happy!
"Come on, eat something first, or I won't say anything!"
Hao Youlan wanted to reach out for the bowl by herself, but her whole body was weak, Mai Xiaohuan straightened her body and fed her spoonful by spoon. Maybe there was a neck injury, Hao Youlan swallowed very slowly and difficult, Mai Xiaohuan thought that she would go to the kitchen to help her make some rice cereal and boil some soup, so that her throat would get better quickly.
After swallowing half a bowl of porridge with difficulty, Hao Youlan said that she would not eat anything. looked at Mai Xiaohuan, I don't know if the tears have dried up, and the eyes that are always smiling are now only sad and sluggish.
"You! Let me say what are you ordering, you and Zhang Yuan broke off the marriage contract before he rushed to take the exam, why bother with such untrue rumors? β
"But...... If I don't break off my cousin's engagement, maybe he'll be able to make a name for himself! β
"You are drilling the horns of the bull yourself, it's not that I look down on Zhang Yuan, even if you marry him, he should not be able to pass the test. Even if you barely pass the test this time, it is impossible to be named on the gold list, real readers will seize every opportunity to review their homework, and will not find such and such excuses, like my big brother Qu is what the champion should be! Zhang Yuan can only barely be regarded as a reader, and he doesn't read very well. β
What Xiao Huan said seems to have some truth, even if he doesn't mention his cousin, what about his fiancΓ©! Their family decided to divorce after believing those rumors.
"That kind of person leaves early and is good early, and when you hear a little rumor, you will take it seriously, and if you marry into their family in the future, if you do something wrong, you will be punished lightly. Are you willing to live a life of trembling? It's useless to be careful, who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes or mistakes in your life! β
Hao Youlan lowered her little head and pondered, a young lady like her who grew up pampered, lived a life of clothes to reach out and food to open her mouth, serving her in-laws and the director of the family, I am afraid that as soon as I enter their house, I will have to make a mistake.
Although what my friend said is reasonable, being divorced is not a glorious thing after all, what will I do in the future? Doesn't my father and mother have to worry about myself for the rest of my life?
"If you continue to toss for a few more days, your mother will fall, and I will talk about it later, maybe you can find a rosewood tree without their crooked neck tree! The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body and spend more time with your uncles and aunts. β
"I found that you are usually silent, and persuade people to do it one by one."
Alright, it seems that there is nothing to do for the time being. Mai Xiaohuan's hanging heart can finally fall.
In the afternoon, Hao Youlan's father and family came in to see her one after another, and saw the warm and harmonious scenes of getting along with each other, Mai Xiaohuan was also homesick and missed her father.
She called the second sister aside to ask about the situation at home, and learned that everything was fine at home, and her father had gone back to Shaxi Village to step up the construction of a new villa.
Ay! Although she felt awkward, Mai Xiaohuan couldn't say anything, it was a big deal that she would live in Yifeng Garden in the future, go back a few less, or buy a few more maids for her grandmother, she didn't believe that she would still stir up trouble. What about the other relatives? Huo Dong, Huo Dong, why do you have to let me move back? Thinking of those relatives at home, Mai Xiaohuan felt that her world suddenly changed from a sunny spring to a cold winter.
"Xiao Fang, Xiao Huan, I want to ask you for a favor." Mrs. Hao, who was obviously in a much better mental state, approached the sisters and said with some embarrassment.
"Auntie, if you have something to say, don't be polite." Mai Xiaofang replied crisply.
The two children of the Mai family are really good, the big one is refreshing, the little one is considerate, if Youlan can marry into their family, there is no need to worry about being bullied in the future, I heard that Mrs. Mai also likes her daughter very much...... What's the use of saying this now, how can it be possible to propose marriage with the current status of the Mai family?
No one proposes marriage, and in four years, the woman will be forcibly married by the government, and every time I think of this Mrs. Hao, I am a little breathless.
After coming back to her senses, she said to the sisters: "Can I trouble you to stay here with Youlan for a few days, I think she will be in a much better mood with you by her side." I also know that Miss Xiaofang's wedding date is approaching, and there must be a lot of things going on at home, but I still have the audacity to make this request, because I really don't know who else can explain her besides you. β
Mai Xiaohuan smiled: "Even if my aunt doesn't say it, we won't leave, just to trouble you to send someone to Yifeng Villa to bring a letter to my mother, so that she won't worry at home." β
"It's natural, I'll arrange it, thank you."
"You are too polite, even if you drive us away at this time, we will stay by Youlan's side and will not leave." Mai Xiaofang shook Mrs. Hao's arm familiarly, amusing the people around her.
