After listening to Mai Xiaohuan's explanation, Mai Wang sat silently on the chair, stunned for a long time, stood up and hugged his daughter-in-law to bed.

None of the three brothers and sisters dared to speak, quietly waiting for their father's judgment.

"Even if what you say makes sense, you can't put medicine in the tea!" Mai Wan carefully observed for a while, and found that his daughter-in-law was breathing evenly, her face was normal, and her hands and forehead were also warm, so she relieved herself and turned back to reprimand the children.

Mai Xiaohuan nodded hurriedly, and vowed never to do such a thing again, today is definitely the first and last time.

"Don't mention this matter in the future, even with your mother and your eldest brother." If this spreads, the girl's reputation will be ruined.

"You stay here with your mother! If we haven't come back when my mother wakes up, you have to say that the matter has been talked about, and it will be very smooth. I'll get some food for you and your mother later, and you should stay in the house as much as you can. ”

Mai Wang, who had made an exception and said a lot of words, nodded silently, he was not worried about his daughter-in-law now, but worried about a few children, can they handle this matter?

The brothers and sisters came out of the back door of the inn, first took a carriage around the alleys of Pingliang County twice, and went around to the vicinity of the city gate, creating the illusion that they had just entered the county seat.

They came in time, and they broke up unhappily in the end anyway, so the link of contacting feelings was omitted by Mai Xiaohuan. Several people have been assigned their respective roles in the carriage, and Mai Xiaohuan is of course the main negotiator. Mai Xiaofang doesn't have to be too polite, if Chen Qiuniang and her younger brother go too far, just go back. Mai Yonghai saw the opportunity to act and protect his two sisters.

Mai Yonghai said with a self-deprecating face: "How do I feel like a follower, by the way, what about the silver?" Do you want to go to the restaurant? ”

Touching the silver in her arms, Mai Xiaohuan shook her head, she stretched out her right index finger and hooked it, and in the surprised eyes of the two, she opened the dark compartment at the bottom of the carriage and put the silver in.

"It turns out that the silk flowers and headbands are hidden here by you, no wonder you haven't seen them in the past few days!" Mai Xiaofang touched her beloved things and said with a smile.

As soon as the three of them entered the Fuyun Building, the shopkeeper who knew them hurriedly greeted them.

"Little second brother, is my eldest brother here?" Mai Xiaofang asked.

"Coming, coming, upstairs in the private room." After speaking, the shopkeeper led a few upstairs.

The door of the private room was opened from the inside, and it was supposed that Mai Yonghe heard the footsteps and the sound of talking, and came to open the door for his father.

Seeing that there were only his younger brother and two younger sisters at the door, the smile on Mai Yonghe's face froze suddenly, and Chen Qiuniang's dignified and virtuous expression slowly cracked, but it was repaired by her in an instant.

At the table sat a teenager with his eyelids lowered, as if everything that was happening here had nothing to do with him. At just one glance, Mai Xiaofang could see that he was wearing the new clothes that his eldest brother wore in the county seat years ago.

My sister really guessed correctly, the eldest brother's new clothes were really occupied by him, Mai Xiaofang glared at Chen Hanting fiercely, and happened to collide with Chen Hanting's gaze who occasionally looked up.

Hey! This is the sister of that fool! The two of them are not like each other at all, Mai Yonghe looks like an old farmer who is digging in the soil, this girl is a water spirit, and her small appearance is more handsome than the ladies in the county. There was a small one next to him, with a pair of big watery eyes, a very clever nose, a smile at the corners of his mouth, except for a small face, there was no flesh, and there were almost no flaws on his facial features.

Chen Hanting straightened his back, his attention shifted from the table to the sisters, the meaning of scrutiny in his eyes was gradually replaced by curiosity, a pair of eyes turned around the sisters, and the frivolous and ruffian smile made people uncomfortable.

Mai Yonghai moved a few steps to the side, blocking Chen Hanting's gaze, Mai Xiaofang turned to the side uncomfortably, and whispered in his mouth: "Disgusting." ”

"What about our father and our mother?" McYonghe asked.

"Our mother is uncomfortable, and my father is accompanying her!" Mai Xiaohuan completely ignored Chen Hanting, but he was labeled as a "scoundrel" by Mai Xiaohuan.

The eldest brother actually said that this person can be admitted to the top prize in the future, ahhhh He is simply insulting Sven, the scum among scholars, and he can't even compare to one of Brother Qu's toes.

My mother promised last night that she would help herself speak today, how could she suddenly change her hexagram today? Xiao Huan, this girl has too many ghost ideas, maybe she came up with some idea and tripped her mother.

Chen Qiuniang asked anxiously: "How is my aunt's health now, let's not sit here, let's go back and have a look!" ”

Everyone in the family says that they have a lot of eyes, and this one is not bad! Mai Xiaohuan didn't stop them, sat down at the table by herself, beckoned the second sister and the second brother to come and sit too, and shouted to the door, "Little second brother." ”

"You girl hasn't come to our Fortune Building for a few days, our aunt still talked about you last time she came, Miss aunt has something to give you......" Shopkeeper Fan handed Mai Xiaohuan a pair of delicate purses and a stack of pink letterheads.

Mai Xiaohuan stood up and thanked the shopkeeper Fan, and asked him to say hello to Hao Youlan when he saw him again: "I came in a hurry today, and I didn't expect Miss Hao to remember me, I will write a letter to Miss Hao in a few days, can you please pass it on to her?" ”

Shopkeeper Fan hurriedly nodded in response, and asked a few people what they wanted to eat, he had a treat today.

Chen Hanting stood up happily, the banquet in the Fortune Building! He hadn't eaten in years, so he must have eaten enough today.

Mai Xiaohuan spoke before he opened his mouth: "You can just set up a table according to the standard of medium seats." Then he nodded at Mai Yonghai and asked him to follow Shopkeeper Fan to settle the bill, this cheap Mai Xiaohuan who is not related to others does not want to be greedy.

After the private room returned to tranquility, Chen Hanting complained very unhappily: "Since the shopkeeper is so enthusiastic, how can he refuse the kindness of others?" A table of medium seats, too small and childish. ”

There are so many things to eat for nothing, Mai Xiaofang refuted him very shamelessly: "We are not related to the shopkeeper Fan, why should we let the family treat you, you want to eat first-class noodles, as long as you have silver, go and order it!" ”

If I had money, I would still sit with these countrymen! Chen Hanting didn't say anything to deal with it, glared at Mai Yonghe hard, and returned to his seat.

My brother doesn't want to leave! Chen Qiuniang thought that it would be good to go to Mai's house after eating, and if she didn't eat at the banquet, she wouldn't be a fool.

The meal was put on the table, and Chen Hanting ordered the most expensive tea and dim sum here, and asked for double portions: "In the afternoon, my sister went to Shaxi Village, and no one prepared dim sum for me, and these two things are indispensable when I read books." ”

Why don't you order a little beauty to add fragrance to the red sleeves! Mai Xiaohuan is not Chen Qiuniang who let him come: "Big brother, I only brought one hundred and forty-two taels of silver, if I order refreshments, it will not be enough to pay for the house." ”

"You have brought money with you, where are you? The child's family, what if you lose it, hurry up and take it to Qiu Niang for safekeeping. ”

"Da Lang, we haven't gotten married yet, it's not appropriate to do this! Why don't you send the shopkeeper to find the owner and settle the house money now! ”

"Good! Good! As if he had heard the decree, McYonhe walked to the door without pause.

Mai Xiaohuan shook his head and shouted to the person who had already gone to push the door: "Since you are in a hurry to pay for the house, I won't stop you, so sign the note first and then go!" ”

"What...... What a note! I'll talk about that later, it's important to pay the money first. McYonghe had already stepped out of the door with one foot.

"I said ugly things in front, if you don't sign or press your fingerprints, I won't take a penny of the silver, let alone the owner of the house, it's useless for the county lord to come."

The scene suddenly became awkward, no one wanted to retreat, and they were at a stalemate with each other. In the room, only the sound of Mai Xiaofang and Chen Hanting eating and drinking tea could be heard.

Mai Xiaohuan handed his second brother dishes and chopsticks and asked him to eat them while they were hot, seeing Chen Hanting's posture as if he had been hungry for three days, Mai Xiaohuan wanted to ask, which reader would be like him, did he read all his books into the dog's stomach? Or the etiquette and rules that the master talked about are all eaten with the meal!

Chen Qiuniang said: "Then after eating, I will visit my aunt in the village and talk about this matter." ”

Mai Yonghe turned back obediently, sitting under the Chen family's sisters and brothers and kept serving them vegetables, as if they were a family, and the other three had nothing to do with him.

Mai Xiaohuan only put a few mouthfuls of food on the plate in front of her, she had a small amount of food, and she lost her appetite even more when she saw these people.

After a quarter of an hour, there was basically nothing left on the table, and at this time, Chen Hanting paid attention to etiquette, one would instruct the little two ends to rinse mouthwash, and the other would pick his teeth. Mai Yonghe asked where the family's carriage was parked, and sent Chen Hanting home first, and then back to Shaxi Village.

"Doesn't the Chen family live in the county seat? A few steps away, wouldn't it be enough to walk back by yourself? We didn't plan to go back to Shaxi Village, and if the matter was not resolved today, we would live in the county seat and not leave. ”

"For such a big thing, how can you count it without the nodding of the elders?" Chen Qiuniang served her younger brother like a maid, and asked very virtuously and sensibly under the pleased, proud, and doting gaze of Mai Yonghe.

"Let's make it clear today! If you agree to the conditions I proposed, sign them, press your fingerprints, pay the money to the landlord, and go to the county government office for the record. If you don't agree, then I'm sorry, I won't take anything except food money. ”

As soon as Mai Xiaohuan's words fell, a soft sobbing sound sounded next to her: "Qiu Niang knows that she has a bad reputation and a humble status, and she has long persuaded Da Lang to forget me and find a better girl to start a family."

It's normal for the two sisters to have a misunderstanding about Qiu Niang, and I only found out a few days ago that Da Lang did so many ridiculous things in order to be able to marry me, no wonder you are angry, and I can't be happy if I change it. ”

Chen Qiuniang was really born at the wrong time, if it is put in modern times, at least she is a third-rate actor, it is a pity that she is such a good acting embryo!
