556 Rumors Are Spreading Around Mai Xiang Xiaoding
"Old Madam, Master, Madam, I want to marry Mai Xiang, please make it happen!" Liu Yi kowtowed, straightened his waist, and looked straight at the three of them.
Jinyu's chopsticks suddenly fell into the soup bowl in front of her, and the hot soup she just served splashed on her hands. She didn't feel any pain, but the corners of her mouth twitched, and she stood up suddenly, just as she was about to
What he said was stopped by Zhao Xiaomai.
"Mai Xiangniang, let him finish!" Zhao Xiaomai pulled Jin Yu with a serious expression, it was the first time he had such an idea.
"Say what, he..." Jin Yu was about to roar when Zhao Xiaomai shouted: "Sit down, there is my mother and me in this family. If you want to make the decision, you have to take your turn!"
Jin Yu was startled, when had Zhao Xiaomai yelled at her like this? Her face turned red, and just when she was about to have an attack, she heard Mrs. Huangfu also speak, "Jin Yu, Xiaomai is right. Sit down first and listen to him."
Finished!"[
Jin Yu had no choice but to sit down bitterly. When he raised his eyes, he saw Mai Xiang standing there as if she had lost her soul. She couldn't help but frown tightly.
"Liu Yi, please get up and talk!" Zhao Xiaomai waved his hand and said.
Liu Yi quickly got up and said: "Old woman, sir, madam, for so many years, all I have been thinking about is Mai Xiang. I really like her and I really want to marry her! I know what you are thinking
No matter what, but since I proposed it, I will definitely try my best to give Mai Xiang happiness, old woman, master, madam, please agree!"
Zhao Xiaomai sighed: "Logically speaking, if you are still a member of our family, even if you are a prostituted slave, and if you and Mai Xiang really like each other, our family is not the kind of family that hates the poor and loves the rich. How can it be done?"
You! But now, you are the royal family of Rao Kingdom, and your eldest brother is the emperor. He came here before, and he didn’t know what he said, which made Mai Xiang cry for several days! Liu Yi, I know you care about Mai Xiang,
But my Maixiang is a country girl. Even if she went to the city to study and took care of the house with her aunt, she is still a country girl. Her status is very different from yours! Don’t blame us for not being able to help you.
, there is no way to accomplish it. Look at my family's wealth, which is considered top-notch among the ten miles and eight villages, but in the eyes of your royal family, it is nothing. If your eldest brother is not happy, he will beat everyone in the capital.
Is our house such a small house? Besides, if you really take Mai Xiang to Rao Country, Mai Xiang will have nothing and is just a country girl. Isn’t it easy for others to bully you? We are two old people and want to see our daughter.
Not even a single glance!"
Jin Yu was still annoyed at the moment. When she heard what Zhao Xiaomai said, she was really speaking truthfully. She blinked her eyes as if it was the first time she met Zhao Xiaomai, and the angry and anxious look on her face slowly faded away.
of relaxation.
Mrs. Huangfu said: "Don't talk about your royal family. If you marry into a rich family and have no power in the family, who will not be bullied by your husband's family? What's more, your eldest brother doesn't like my Maixiang at all. I will follow you then.
With Rao Guo, your eldest brother gave the order and Mai Xiang even lost his life!"
As soon as Mrs. Huangfu said this, Jin Yu quickly nodded and said: "There was a man in Zhaojiatun who married a wealthy man in the city. The man liked the woman very much at first, but then he got promoted and the woman was just a country girl. How can I help?
Do you want to fall in love with him? The mother-in-law of that family has taken a fancy to the daughter of a high-ranking official family, and wants the man to be her son-in-law. Can't she just look at the country girl as an eyesore and poison her to death with a pack of rat poison? You think so?
We are ordinary people and they are officials, so where can we go to reason with each other? If this marriage cannot happen, no matter what we say, it will not work!"
"Old Madam, Master, Madam, I will protect Mai Xiang. Mai Xiang's life is my life, and I will never let anything happen to her!" Liu Yi said quickly.
"This marriage must be about well-matched families. Who are you? You are a prince, and you may be an emperor in the future. Who is Mai Xiang? She is just a country girl. She goes to the city to study and work, and she is also a country girl. You guys
There's such a big difference in status! Liu Yi, it's not that I don't want to agree, it's really that I can't agree! Now that the Ma family has proposed marriage to our family, Mai Xiang and the Ma family's son are a good match. His family is a merchant family.
, Now Mr. Ma is the master of the town government. Speaking of which, even if we are high in the Ma family, we can still reach it. You, the great emperor, are really beyond your reach!" Jin Yu said firmly, "This matter
Let’s just pretend we haven’t heard of it. Just leave as soon as you finish this meal. Mai Xiang will stay at home for two days without going back to town!”
Seeing that the whole family was opposed, Liu Yi couldn't help but turn his eyes to Mai Xiang, but Mai Xiang just looked at him and sat in a daze, without speaking for a long time.
Naturally, this meal was unsettling.
After the meal, Jin Yu asked Zhao Xiaomai to send Liu Yi out, and he would not accept the gift either dead or alive.
Zhao Maixiang was walking side by side with Liu Yi and said comfortingly: "Now your status is different. You are the prince. What kind of woman is there? My Maixiang is just a country girl. You will forget her in the future!"
Liu Yi kept his head down and said nothing.
Zhao Xiaomai said again: "Liu Yi, don't hold grudges against us in your heart, there is nothing we can do! In fact, we know that you are the prince now, as long as you move your little finger, Maixiang will be yours sooner or later, but you are a good boy,
I have watched you grow up over the years, and I know your character, and you will not embarrass us!"
Liu Yi was startled and quickly raised his eyes and said: "Master, how is this possible? I regard you as family, how can I embarrass you! You think of me like this..."
Zhao Maimai quickly said: "Look, I'm really thinking nonsense. Okay, just send it to the entrance of the village. It hasn't rained now and the road is easy to walk, so I won't send it!"
Liu Yi stood under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, staring blankly at the village in the midday sun, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Zhao Maimai stood at the entrance of the village, waiting for Liu Yi to leave.[
"Master, no, uncle, can I ask you something?" Liu Yi said suddenly.
Zhao Xiaomai was stunned and said: "If it is your marriage to Mai Xiang..."
"I want to hear Mai Xiang say she doesn't want to!" Liu Yi whispered, his eyes dark, "Even if it's rejection, I hope it's Mai Xiang who rejects me personally, so that I can give up!"
Zhao Xiaomai was stunned and said: "You stubborn child, you saw how Mai Xiang reacted when we were eating just now, why did you insist on Mai Xiang saying that? Liu Yi, it's not that uncle won't help you, it's that he didn't
Where is the Fazi Gang, you’d better leave quickly!”
After Zhao Xiaomai finished speaking, he rushed out to chase Liu Yi.
"Uncle, listen to me, I must listen to Mai Xiang in person..." Liu Yi shouted while arguing with Zhao Xiaomai, and the two hugged each other.
Ah Xuan stared at him from the side, not knowing whether he should step forward or not.
"Dad, Brother Liu Yi, what are you doing!" Suddenly, Mai Xiang's voice rang out, and the two of them were shaken, and they quickly let go and looked back.
Mai Xiang stood behind the two of them, frowning tightly.
"Maixiang, why did you come out? Your mother won't beat you to death if she sees you. Go back quickly!" Zhao Maimai hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Dad, I want to say a few words to Brother Liu Yi!" Mai Xiang whispered, looking at Zhao Xiaomai with eyes full of prayer.
"You also know what your mother means. If your mother knows..." Zhao Xiaomai pulled Mai Xiang towards the village.
"Dad, just a few words. Don't worry, I won't go with him. I just want to say a few words!" Mai Xiang took Zhao Xiaomai's hand and pulled her back, and the two of them started a tug-of-war.
Some villagers who went to the fields after dinner passed by and said hello with a smile: "Hey, you two are so interested?"
Mai Xiang whispered: "Dad, if you pull it off again, everyone in this village will know!"
Zhao Maimai had no choice but to say: "Just a few words, I'm waiting for you here!"
As he spoke, he squatted on the stone bench and looked longingly at Mai Xiang and Liu Yi.
Mai Xiang nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry!"
Mai Xiang walked towards Liu Yi, stared at him closely, bit her lip slightly and said: "Brother Liu Yi, you are not the fifth prince, and I am not my aunt. The two of us are different from them, so you'd better go. Bar!"
Liu Yi grabbed her hand and was about to say something when he saw Zhao Xiaomai was about to stand up. He quickly let go and whispered: "We are not them, we are us. Now I have made up my mind to be with you, even if I knelt in front of my eldest brother for three days and three nights, but I still want to be with you! Now it depends on your determination, Mai Xiang, do you really not have me in your heart?"
Mai Xiang lowered her eyes and did not answer for a long time.
"Since you have me in your heart, why can't you believe me? Are you really willing to marry Ma Yunfei? Will you be happy if you marry him?" Liu Yi said again.[
Zhao Maixiang listened on the sidelines. The more he listened to this, the more uncomfortable he became. Why would he continue to say this? He was afraid that Maixiang would be tempted. He quickly stood up and said: "Okay, okay, I have said several words, Liu Yi, You should leave quickly, if you don’t leave, we won’t be able to reach the town before dark!”
Listening to Zhao Xiaomai's urging, Liu Yi became even more anxious. Regardless of the situation, he grabbed Mai Xiang's arm and said: "Maixiang, come with me, I..."
"Well, you kid, you really kicked your nose in the face, please let go!" When Zhao Xiaomai saw it, his eyes turned red, and he rushed forward and grabbed Mai Xiang.
Liu Yi pulled Mai Xiang's arm, and Zhao Xiaomai held her side. The two of them were on one side, and there was a stalemate.
"Boy, let go, let go quickly!" Zhao Xiaomai puffed up angrily, "Don't blame me for being rude if you don't let go, I don't care who you are!"
"Your Majesty, this..." Ah Xuan looked on anxiously, because Liu Yi had given instructions beforehand. Without his instructions, Ah Xuan would just be a mute and a piece of wood. Now that both of them are robbing each other, what should we do?
"Uncle, that's not what I meant, I just..." Liu Yi didn't know how it ended up like this. He wanted to let go but was reluctant to let it go. Why don't you let go? Look at Zhao Xiaomai's blowing beard and staring eyes again. If this continues, There has to be a fight.
"No matter what you mean, what do you mean by flirting on the street? You are being laughed at!" Liu Yi has martial arts after all. Zhao Xiaomai couldn't pull him away, so he had to shout loudly, "Hurry up and let go, otherwise Maixiang My reputation will be ruined in your hands!"
When Liu Yi heard this, he quickly let go.
Zhao Xiaomai was panting and Mai Xiang hid behind him and said: "Liu Yi, you are not welcome here, you should leave quickly, leave quickly!"
Liu Yi wanted to say something else, but he saw Zhao Xiaomai dragging Mai Xiang home. As Mai Xiang walked, she looked back at Liu Yi, her big eyes full of tears.
At this moment, Wang Xi was about to go to the ground with her husband on her back. She happened to see this scene from a distance. She quickly hid her body behind the haystack. After taking a closer look, she ran home and stood in her house.
In the yard, he said to the young daughter-in-law next door through the wall: "Hey, sister, I have something big to tell you!"
The little Mao's daughter-in-law was newly married last year. She and Wang Xi's mother were originally from the same village, and they were neighbors, so they were very close. Seeing Wang Xi like this now, I knew it was another
After hearing this, Wu Bagua threw away the bowl in his hand and stopped washing it. He quickly moved a bench, leaned on the wall, and asked Wang Xi.
Wang Xi immediately said what he had just seen and added some fuel and jealousy: "I see, that Mai Xiang likes Liu Yi, but the Zhao family doesn't agree. You said so. Liu Yi is a young man in trouble, but in the end he is a common man.
, who is the Ma family? The young master of the Ma family is the master of the town government at a young age. In the future, he may be the county government or the prefect, and Mai Xiang is the wife of a high official! "
The little Mao's daughter-in-law listened excitedly, and the two chattered. Soon, the matter between Liu Yi and Mai Xiang became an uproar in the village.
At noon, Jin Yu had to take a nap with Pan'er. She didn't expect that when she woke up, she would be dressed like this. In the evening, when she went to the fields, she saw villagers all the way away.
Li Ren gathered together and murmured, and when he saw her coming, he quickly closed his mouth and smiled to welcome her. She was depressed and asked Xia Zhi to find out the news. When she heard the rumors in the village, Jin Yu was furious. The work in the fields
He couldn't care anymore, and returned home angrily, and said to Zhao Xiaomai: "You have done such a good thing, I asked you to send someone off, but I was just sleeping with Pan'er, and such rumors spread!
"
Zhao Maimai was stunned and asked: "What rumors? What happened again?"
"What's going on? You go out and ask around. What do you say about our family now? They say that our family is here for the master of the town hall of Mr. Ma's family. Even the princes in our family are more rare. How rare is the master of the town hall?"
Golden Jade Qi Dao.
"Look at you, you listened to the gossips of those daughters-in-law outside again. You can just say whatever they say, but stop saying it when you have said enough!" Zhao Maimai was quite calm.
"What do you know? We have agreed with the Ma family a long time ago that we will get engaged when the girl comes back. But now this thing happened, how can we explain to them? I'm watching, you go to the city right now and tell the Ma family
, we agreed to the marriage, and it will be settled in a few days. Once it is settled, Mai Xiang will stop thinking about it!" Jin Yu sighed, "Dad Mai Xiang, I don't care what the news is like outside.
, I’m afraid that the wheat fragrance will be shaken!”
Zhao Maimai could only nod.
Zhao Xiaomai drove to the city and told the Ma family about the matter. The Ma family was naturally happy and couldn't get it. They immediately chose a day to send the betrothal gift as a small deal.
Mai Xiang has been depressed since Liu Yi left that day, hiding in her room and not leaving the room for several days. On this day, she was stretching and reading a book when she heard gongs and drums beating outside.
He was stunned and called Lianhua over and asked: "Lianhua, what's going on?"
Xiao Ding just told the family that Jin Yu had hid Mai Xiang's secret. But now that the wars were over and everyone from the Ma family was here, he was afraid that the matter could no longer be hidden, so he said: "Miss, today
It’s you, Xiao Ding, Mr. Ma’s son has brought everyone here in person!”
"What?" Mai Xiang was stunned, then stood up and said, "Didn't you agree to wait for your aunt to come back? Why are you so anxious?"
Lianhua hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Miss, the matter between you and Mr. Liu Yi has been spread in the village. Madam really has no choice but to do it for your own good!"
"Is it good for me? Is it good for me if words don't count? I..." Mai Xiang was about to stand up, but was stopped tightly by Lian Hua, "Miss, you can't make trouble, today is a serious day, you are like this..."
Mai Xiang paused, thought for a while, then quietly went back and sat down.
When Lianhua saw this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and advised: "Miss Maixiang, since you have decided not to be with Mr. Liu Yi, it will be a matter of time before you get engaged to Mr. Ma. In fact, Mr. Ma is a very good person.
, I have been very good to the lady for so many years..."
"Okay, stop talking, I'm very confused, please go out!" Mai Xiang said impatiently.
Lianhua could only sigh, push the door open and go out.
Sitting in the room, listening to the noise outside, Mai Xiang lay on the table and started to cry.
Does she really want to marry Ma Yunfei? He is very kind to her, but why, when she thinks of spending her whole life with him, she feels nervous, uncomfortable, and unwilling to accept it.
Ma Teng and Ma Yunfei came to the house in person, and the betrothal gift was naturally generous. He was so happy that he couldn't help but smile, and the marriage was settled.
In the afternoon, as soon as the Ma family left, Li Lin, Hu Ziniang and several other good friends made appointments with each other to come to the house, and they all praised Ma Yunfei profusely.
"Sister, you are really blessed. Look at the son-in-law you picked. Not only is he outstanding in talent, he is also the master of the town. From now on, you will be the mother-in-law of the master of the town!" Huzi Niang's hearty laughter filled the hall.
echo.
"No, no one will dare to mess with the people in our village from now on. The daughter of our village has married the town boss! Oh, thinking about it feels like a dream. You said that Mai Xiang was just a little girl before.
, with a braid pulling at the hem of your clothes, and a dark face, and now that she has become a grown-up girl, she has found such a good family!" Ban Zhihua said with a smile.
"The children have grown up, and even Mai Xiang is engaged. I feel so happy and..." Li Lin said quietly.
Jin Yu took her hand and whispered: "Over the years, you have regarded Mai Xiang as your own daughter. I naturally know how you feel, but this girl is not willing to stay. If you stay here, you will become enemies. Now this is fine.
, let’s make a small decision first, and wait until next year when we are older before we get married!”
Li Lin nodded: "It's okay. Now the two children, Tieshuan and Zhi'er, are not worried. One is in the yamen and the other is opening a medical clinic in the town. They are both busy all day long. I have to rush them.
They've been there several times, but they just said there's no rush, and maybe the marriage will be postponed to next year, and then our two families will do it together, it'll be fun!"
"You would think that if we do it together, we can have a banquet for double the money? Sister-in-law of the Li family, you are getting better and better at living now!" Hu Ziniang laughed.
"Hu Zi Niang, no wonder Hu Zi has been naughty all day long. It turns out that he just wanted to follow you. How fast his mind turns. You can see all my thoughts!" Li Lin said with a smile.
Everyone laughed again.
Everyone stayed for a while and then left, but after all this gossip, Jin Yu became more determined in her thoughts, and felt that it was right to give Mai Xiang a small date. What a great marriage, they were of the right family, and everyone was envious of it. Ma Yunfei
I’m obsessed with the fragrance of wheat, isn’t it perfect?
Jin Yu was happy, but she didn't know that Mai Xiang had a different feeling in her heart. From that day on, she couldn't sleep every night. Every time she closed her eyes, it was Liu Yi. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to find him.
The reason is that there are still some unfinished matters in the town and he wants to go back to the town.
Seeing that Mai Xiang was safe and sound in the past few days, Jin Yu was half relieved and asked shopkeeper Lin to inquire in the town. After confirming that Liu Yi was not in the town, he let Mai Xiang go to the town. Before leaving, it was
After a while of admonitions, the most frequently said sentence was nothing more than - now that you are engaged, you are an adult, and you can no longer act like a child!
"Mom, I understand, are you annoyed?" Mai Xiang said irritably.
"Look at you, you're still bothered by my mother's instructions. Put on this weft hat when you go out in the town. Don't take it off! Now that you're engaged, you're an adult. These things are
Please note, leave the business alone and leave it to Shopkeeper Lin. Don’t show your face. The Ma family has many connections in the town and is well-informed. If you do anything inappropriate, we will be blamed.
My parents didn't teach me well!" Jin Yu said again, handing Mai Xiang a black weft hat.
"Mom, what are you doing? Why am I wearing this on such a hot day! Besides, no one else is wearing it!" Mai Xiang was unhappy when she saw the ugly weft hat.
"When someone is engaged to be married, who is not doing embroidery at home and preparing clothes and dowry? You are not good at craftsmanship. You asked Xia Zhi and the others to make the clothes and dowry for you. Your aunt still relies on you in her house. I just let you go out. You
If you don't want to wear it and don't listen to your mother, then don't go out, so as not to cause gossip, make your husband's family dissatisfied, and smear your parents' faces!" Jin Yu said, grabbing the weft hat and pulling it away.
The smell of wheat comes back.
"Okay, okay, mother, why don't I listen to you?" Maixiang said angrily, grabbing the weft hat and putting it on her head.
"That's right! Also, your aunt from the Sun family is thinking about Lei Sheng. She is going to the town to stay for a few days, and she will live in my sister's house!" Jin Yu said, pulling the Sun family member forward.
As soon as Mai Xiang saw her, she understood what Jin Yu meant. She wanted the Sun family to monitor her, but the Sun family was usually honest and she respected the Sun family very much. It was hard to say anything at the moment, so she had to
Respond.
When they arrived in town, A Bao was missing his mother all day long, so Mai Xiang encouraged A Bao to go to Lucheng. The two of them immediately embarked on a trip to Lucheng. When Jin Yu got the news, the two of them had already left Chu.
It’s cold!
