We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year. Ma Yunfei is much more mature than before. His face is more handsome and his figure is slender. He is wearing a simple blue cloth gown with a white belt around his waist and an exquisite jade pendant hanging on it. He is elegant and elegant as he walks along the way.
It attracted the hearts of many young girls in the town. Although they did not dare to come forward, they all stood on the roadside and watched eagerly. From time to time, they covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and chuckled secretly.
Ma Yunfei didn't seem to notice the girls' favor for him. He walked straight away until he saw a familiar figure at the corner. He was stunned, with an expression of surprise on his face, and quickly quickened his pace.
.
It was too late for Mai Xiang to hide, and then she thought again, there was actually nothing to hide from. The two of them had already made it very clear what happened before, and they were friends again, so they immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Maixiang, when did you come back?" Ma Yunfei stepped forward quickly, his face full of joy. After looking at Maixiang up and down, he smiled and said: "It's been so long, how are you?"
Mai Xiang smiled and said: "Everything is fine. By the way, my aunt is back too. I will take you to meet her!" [
Mai Xiang said and took Ma Yunfei forward.
As soon as Ma Yunfei saw Chu Yiqing, he was about to salute when he was stopped by Chu Yiqing and said with a smile, "There are people coming and going on this street. I don't want to reveal my identity. Okay, let's sit down and talk for a while."
Bar!"
Ma Yunfei didn't dare to do anything. He resigned for a long time and finally sat down.
Ma Yunfei spotted Liu Yi as soon as he entered the small restaurant. He had just been busy saluting Chu Yiqing and did not say hello. Now after sitting down, he turned to Liu Yi and smiled: "We have met before!"
Liu Yi nodded, stood up and clasped his fists: "Hello, Mr. Ma!"
Ma Yunfei quickly stood up and said with a smile: "You can just call me Yunfei. If it comes down to identity, I'm afraid it's me, Ma Yunfei, who will take the top spot!"
Liu Yi smiled slowly, nodded, and stretched out his hand to signal Ma Yunfei to sit down again.
"Have you had breakfast? Do you want me to give you something to eat?" Mai Xiangxiao asked.
Ma Yunfei quickly waved his hand: "I just used it at home, and now I am going to the Yamen to work!"
The aroma of wheat is not forced.
"May I ask the queen, is there something important when you come back this time?" Ma Yunfei turned to Chu Yiqing, cupped his fists and asked in a low voice. Read the full text of Xianyu Xiaoyao.
"There's nothing special, I just miss Chu Han and come back to see him!" Chu Yiqing laughed lightly.
Ma Yunfei said quickly: "Do you want people from the Yamen to escort you? I will make arrangements right now!"
Chu Yiqing waved his hand and said: "I came out incognito this time. You didn't expose my identity by doing this. Let's meet as fellow villagers today and just have a casual chat. If you are busy, go to the Yamen quickly. Don't
It delayed your business!"
When Ma Yunfei heard this, he stopped asking any more questions and sat aside respectfully. After the three of them finished eating, he stepped forward to pay the bill and then sent each other out.
On the street, seeing that Ma Yunfei seemed to have something to say to Mai Xiang, he went ahead with Liu Yi.
Liu Yi looked back worriedly.
"Don't worry, if Mai Xiang was interested in him, she wouldn't have broken off the engagement back then!" Chu Yiqing whispered, reassuring Liu Yi, "I look at you and think about how to make your future mother-in-law happy!"
Chu Yiqing's words reminded Liu Yi, who quickly sent the horses down first, found the largest jewelry store in the town, and got in.[
Chu Yiqing curled her lips slightly and went in to choose with him.
When the shopkeeper saw the two impressive people coming in, he immediately knew they were big customers, so he quickly invited them inside, served them good tea, and brought out the best jewelry in the store for them to choose from.
Liu Yi noticed a piece of jade pendant at a glance. It was green in color and very transparent. After discussing it with Chu Yiqing, he said to the shopkeeper: "Wrap this up!"
The shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy and said: "This young man is really good at picking things. This is the treasure of our store, authentic jade. The pattern on it is also the most popular this year. No matter who you give it to, everyone will like it."
like!"
Liu Yi smiled and said: "Okay, don't be poor, just tell me how much money you have!"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it only costs five thousand taels!"
Liu Yi nodded, "Okay, wrap it up!"
The shopkeeper was so excited that he quickly went to find the box.
At this moment, outside the door, Ma Yunfei glanced at the shop and whispered: "Come back this time, you guys..."
Mai Xiang thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, saying, "Liu Yi came back to propose marriage to my parents!"
Although Ma Yunfei was somewhat aware, his face suddenly turned pale when he heard Mai Xiang say it himself.
"Congratulations!" After a long silence, Ma Yunfei curled his lips bitterly.
"Brother Ma, come and drink our wedding wine when the time comes!" Mai Xiang raised her little face and smiled softly.
Ma Yunfei nodded, looked not far away, and said duplicitously: "Then I'll leave first. The Yamen still has things to do. When will you get married? Send me a message!"
Mai Xiang nodded.
Ma Yunfei strode away without looking back. He didn't stop until he turned the corner and made sure the people behind him couldn't see him. He took a big breath and felt dizzy before his eyes.
This time, he is really going to lose the fragrance of wheat...
"Hey, isn't this the county magistrate? County magistrate? Why do you look so ugly? Come here quickly, the county magistrate is sick!" A passerby recognized Ma Yunfei and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Seeing that he looked serious
No, I quickly called someone.
"I'm fine!" Ma Yunfei waved his hands and staggered forward.
"What's going on?" The people were all pointing behind Xie Yushuang's back.
"Who knows? Go and inform Mr. Ma!" someone said, and soon someone ran to Ma's house.
By the way, Mai Xiang, who was standing on the street at the moment, had no idea what was happening at the end of the street. As soon as Ma Yunfei left, she quickly entered the jewelry shop and met up with Chu Yiqing and Liu Yi.[
At this moment, the shopkeeper in the shop had already wrapped the jade pendants and was taking out the banknotes to pay the bill. When Mai Xiang heard that the jade pendants actually cost five thousand taels of silver, he said without saying a word: "Shopkeeper, we don't want this thing anymore.
too expensive!"
Liu Yi quickly said: "It's a gift for your mother. The color is transparent and suits your mother very well!"
Mai Xiang pouted and said, "That's not worth five thousand taels of silver. It's too expensive. Take it out and let me take a look!"
The shopkeeper quickly took out the jade pendant again and showed it to Mai Xiang. Unexpectedly, Mai Xiang even said: "Shopkeeper, we are from the capital, why do you think we have never seen jade? You are like this
Although the piece of jade is of high quality, it is only as big as an egg. The quality of this hanging chain is far inferior to that of this piece of jade heart, and it is only worth two thousand taels of silver at most!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly explained: "Girl, look at the quality of this jade. This is indeed a first-class jade. You can't find a second jade in the entire famous town! Otherwise, how about four thousand taels?"
It can’t get any cheaper!”
Liu Yi dropped a thousand taels of silver upon hearing Mai Xiang's praise, and immediately winked at Mai Xiang with joy.
Mai Xiang became more and more proud, shook his head and said: "No, it's still expensive. When we were in the capital, there were a lot of such fine things at home, but we didn't bring them with us because we were in a hurry. If you are sincere, I will
I’ll give you another ten taels of silver, but no more!”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly said: "Girl, I see that you really want it, so I will give you a minimum price of three thousand taels, not a penny less!"
Liu Yi was secretly delighted, and just as he was about to urge Mai Xiang to nod in agreement, he saw Mai Xiang shaking his head again and saying, "It's still expensive, let's do this, two thousand one hundred taels!"
"Oh, girl, we see that you sincerely want it, but it's one thousand two thousand taels. How can you go up to one hundred two hundred taels? Just give us a real price, how much do you want?
"The shopkeeper was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.
"Two thousand two hundred taels, if you make an even number, it will be auspicious. If you can sell it, we will take it. If you can't, forget it!" Mai Xiang took Liu Yi and Chu Yiqing and prepared to leave.
The shopkeeper became anxious as soon as he saw it. This item has been displayed in the famous town for several years, but only people asked the price, but no one bid. Now he finally met someone who knows the goods and is willing to pay for it. He can no longer let this treasure be in his hands.
He was sleeping in the house, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, then it's two thousand two hundred taels! You, a little girl, look so young, but you are so good at doing business!"
Mai Xiang raised her eyebrows proudly and winked at Liu Yi.
After the shopkeeper wrapped the bags, Liu Yi paid the money, and the three of them left the jewelry shop, visited a few more shops, and bought gifts for Zhao Xiaomai. They then took the horse with satisfaction and prepared to go back to their village in one go.
"Maixiang, I didn't expect you to bargain so hard!" Liu Yi couldn't help but laugh excitedly after leaving the famous town.
"You have to remember that you are no longer a prince, so you have to spend your money carefully and save money!" Mai Xiang frowned, "If I didn't want to make my mother happy, I wouldn't let you buy such an expensive thing.
Where’s the stuff!”
Liu Yi whispered: "As long as your mother likes me, everything is worth it!"
Mai Xiang smiled shyly.
More than an hour later, the three of them arrived at Shangjia Village. Chu Yiqing was afraid of disturbing the people in Shangjia Village, so the three of them did not take the village road in front, but went around to the back mountain and entered the house through the orchard in the back mountain.
Now is the time when the pear blossoms are fragrant, and the trees are full of pear blossoms, which are very beautiful. Chu Yiqing's mood is getting better and better along the way.
At this moment, Jin Yu and Zhao Xiaomai both got the news and rushed to greet Chu Yiqing. As soon as they saw Chu Yiqing, Jin Yu hugged Chu Yiqing enthusiastically and said happily: "Sister, why are you back?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and pointed at the two people behind him.
Jin Yu raised her eyes in confusion. When she saw Liu Yi, her expression changed and she asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Sister, why did he come back with you?"
Liu Yi quickly stepped forward and saluted: "I have met you, sir. Madam, how are you two in good health?"
Zhao Maimai didn't have much reaction, just nodded lightly, while Jin Yu snorted displeasedly, with a look of disapproval on his face.
"Mom, this is the gift Liu Yi bought for you. Let's go in and have a look!" Mai Xiang quickly stepped forward and pulled Jin Yu, walking in front first.
"Maixiang, tell me, what's going on? Why did you and your aunt bring that boy back?" Jin Yu asked angrily, "How many times have I told you that he doesn't want to be with you?"
It's appropriate, why do you have to... your aunt does the same, doesn't she know what I'm thinking?"
"Mom, don't blame anyone. I begged my aunt to bring Liu Yi back. Liu Yi didn't even want the throne for me. Mom, he is not a prince now. He is just an ordinary person. Now he has opened a business in the city.
There is a shop and a house on the outskirts of the city, and my aunt also said that he will be in charge of Lucheng and Dongchaer Grassland from now on!"
Jin Yu listened for a long time, and interrupted impatiently: "What kind of shop is there in the capital city, and what kind of shop is there in Lucheng? Mai Xiang, let me tell you, even if you say that you are going to break the sky, this thing will not work! The identity of that prince
, it was decided upon from birth, and he won’t do it if he says he won’t do it? Did you see that your uncle didn’t do it at the beginning, so what, what happened in the end? Now you are the emperor! If you have your aunt’s ability, my mother will do it too.
I'll help you, but you don't have the ability. How can we, a country girl, still want to be a princess?"
Mai Xiang said anxiously: "Mom, I've met Liu Yi's eldest brother. He really doesn't want Liu Yi to go back. If you don't believe me, ask your aunt!"
Jin Yu immediately said: "No matter who you ask, I don't agree with this! Mai Xiang, let me tell you, you married an official, and now that your aunt is here, we are still well matched. Those officials, look,
For the sake of your mother's family, I won't make things difficult for you; if you marry a businessman, it won't matter. Our family is not poor now, but we are not from this royal family! Although my mother has never seen it before, she has been there several times.
Capital City, I have seen the life your aunt lived, and it was not a pleasant life!"
Mai Xiang interrupted Jin Yu anxiously and said: "Mom, I told you that Liu Yi is no longer a prince, but a businessman now!"
As Mai Xiang spoke, she opened the gift box again and showed it to Jin Yu; "Mom, look, Liu Yi bought this to honor you. It costs several thousand taels of silver. Do you like it?"
Jin Yu's eyes lit up when he heard about the thousands of taels of silver, but he still persisted: "Maixiang, although mother is greedy for money, she can't sell her daughter. Don't think about letting me look at a gift of several thousand taels of silver.
Just agree to this!"
Mai Xiang held the jade and hung it on her chest, insisting that Jin Yu take a look, but Jin Yu didn't even look at it, so Mai Xiang was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
"Okay, Mai Xiang, we just arrived, let's rest for a while before we talk!" Chu Yiqing stepped forward and winked at Mai Xiang. Mai Xiang nodded quickly, did not dare to say anything, and went aside.
While urging Jin Yu forward, Chu Yiqing said, "Sister Jin Yu, I'm hungry. I want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. Have you killed the chicken?"
Jin Yu quickly said: "We have a chicken farm. Isn't it easy to eat chickens? We can kill them now!" As Jin Yu walked, he looked at Mai Xiang and warned, "Put that thing away carefully and return it to others as soon as possible."
, if this is broken, I won’t spend money to take care of it for you!”
Mai Xiang had no choice but to agree first, deliberately lagging a few steps behind, wanting to wait for Liu Yi to come, but behind her, she saw Zhao Xiaomai asking Liu Yi something, and Liu Yi looked respectful.
