Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 156 Teenagers Gathering

Four of the five teenagers at the door were similar in age to Lu Xiaofeng, and the other was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

The young man on the far right is wearing black clothes. He seems to be standing casually, but he can faintly reveal some of the atmosphere of Yuanding Yuezhi. He wears a scimitar with a black handle and a black scabbard shaped like a crescent moon on his waist. He has a handsome appearance and beautiful skin. As white and smooth as jade.

This young man is Fu Hongxue. Now he has practiced the "Celestial Silkworm Kung Fu" under the guidance of his master Rui Xuan. After undergoing a cocoon transformation, his disabled right leg has recovered to its full strength.

He has been taught by Ma Kongqun and Rui Xuan since he was a child, and he also learned the "Ruyi Tianmo, Eight Chain Styles" from the "Full Moon Scimitar" given by Ma Kongqun. His foundation in martial arts is deep and profound, and he is among his peers. Rarely anyone can reach it.

In addition, because Ma Kongqun had other plans for his son, he intended to hand over the inheritance of "Ten Thousand Horses Hall" to Fu Hongxue. Therefore, in addition to teaching martial arts, he also cultivated his abilities in strategic decision-making and dealing with others.

So far, he has cultivated a Fu Hongxue who has completely deviated from his original destiny. A Fu Hongxue who no longer has to bear hatred, is no longer troubled by congenital diseases and disabilities, and is full of confidence and grace.

Next to Fu Hongxue was a young monk with a shiny scalp, big face and big ears, an honest and simple face, and he was wearing a simple and neat gray cloth monk's robe. He looked ordinary.

This monk was Bu Laoshi, whom Ma Kongqun had taken as his disciple. Whether it was due to nature or fate, he suddenly had the idea of ​​becoming a monk two years ago.

After Ma Kongqun asked about it and saw that he had made up his mind, he asked Monk Dabei, who had taken over as the head of Shaolin, to ordain him, and he became a serious monk with a degree and family background in the Shaolin Temple.

The young man beside the honest monk is Hua Manlou.

He was dressed in white, with a jade-like appearance and a jade-like temperament. He always had a warm smile on his face, and his smart eyes were full of sincere love for all things in the world.

Next to Hua Manlou is a young girl.

When they saw this girl, both Lu Xiaofeng and Dongfang Ran felt suffocated.

They have all seen many beauties, but they never thought that a woman could be so beautiful.

She was wearing a colorful dress that was unlike any other in the world. It was as bright as the morning glow, her skin was better than ice and snow, and she was as graceful as a fairy, but she also had an innate noble temperament.

Seeing the two people staring blankly at the girl, the young man wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe next to the girl raised his hand in front of them and waved it, and said with a smile: "You two, come to your senses!"

The girl also covered her mouth and chuckled.

Only then did the two of them realize that they had lost their composure, with a somewhat embarrassed look on their faces.

As the host, Dongfang Ran hurriedly invited everyone to sit upstairs.

After sitting down, Huamanlou introduced each other as friends of both parties.

He first introduced his two senior brothers, Fu Hongxue and Monk Lao Shi, and then pointed at the young man in brocade clothes and said, "This is the son of the Marquis of Weiyuan in Liaodong, the young Marquis Ma Qingfeng."

Lu Xiaofeng and Dongfang Ran were both surprised.

People in the world, especially high-spirited heroes like them, can't help but feel a little arrogant, but they don't dare to have the slightest bit of arrogance towards the matchmaker Ma Ji and Ma Long, who was given the title of Marquis of Weiyuan and was promoted to the governor of Liaodong. Contempt.

Because after Mahou Ye took office as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, he strengthened his troops, trained his troops, and dealt the strongest blow to the grassland barbarians who had been intruding on the border of Liaodong and causing great harm to the people of Liaodong.

During the reign of the late Emperor Longqing, he defeated the grassland barbarians who invaded Liaodong dozens of times. During this period, he personally led Qingqi counterattacks into the grassland many times, killing many grassland tribes who participated in the invasion until they were bloody. He was frightened by the news. The number of beheadings reported over the years was no less than 30,000, which made the children in the grassland stop crying when they heard the name of Ma Long Matchmaker. In the next few years, all ethnic groups would not dare to invade Liaodong.

Because of such brilliant achievements, the late emperor made an exception and granted him the title Weiyuan Bo, and also granted him the title of Governor of Liaodong, taking charge of all military and political affairs in Liaodong.

In the second year of Wanli, Ma Ji put down the rebellion of Wang Gao, the commander of the Jurchen capital in Jianzhou. He supervised the army to level the Gule village where Wang Gao was with thunderous means, and beheaded all the subordinates who followed him in the rebellion. This move can be described as "killing the monkey and frightening the chicken". All the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong were subdued, and they all became conscientious and obediently obeyed every military and political order issued by the Governor-General of Liaodong.

Lu Xiaofeng and Dongfang Ran may not respect Ma Ji's high-ranking official position, but they must respect his meritorious service in protecting the land and bringing peace to the people.

In fact, the two of them did not know that when Ma Ji destroyed Wang Gao's Gule Village, he secretly ordered the execution of Jue Chang'an, the chief of the Zuowei branch who was attached to Wang Gao, with his entire clan, including Jue Chang'an's two underage grandsons. Nuerhaci and Suerhachi didn't even know the meaning behind this move, otherwise they would have paid homage to this immensely meritorious Mahou Ye.

Although Ma Qingfeng is young, he is quite decent in handling things, and he did not show any arrogance when meeting Lu Xiaofeng and Dongfang Ran.

Huamanlou finally introduced the girl: "This is Senior Sister Gongsun Lan, she is..."

Speaking of this, he seemed a little unsure of how to introduce Gongsun Lan's identity.

Gongsun Lan smiled and said to herself: "I am a steward of the inner house of Weiyuan Hou Mansion. Because the young Marquis is familiar with Senior Brother Fu and Senior Brother Lao Shi, he came with them to the south of the Yangtze River to relax, so the Marquis sent me to accompany him. Attend the young Marquis."

Although she said this, Lu Xiaofeng and Dongfang Ran were both discerning. Just looking at her noble demeanor, and Ma Qingfeng calling her "Sister Lan" one after another, Fu Hongxue, Lao Shi Monk and Hua Manlou all regarded her as "Sister Lan". As a junior sister (senior sister), I also know that she is by no means as simple as a steward of a prince's mansion.

After they all got to know each other, Dongfang Ran asked Lu Xiaofeng to greet the guests while he went to the kitchen to get busy.

Before leaving, he asked the honest monk: "My young master, can I avoid meat and wine?"

The Honest Monk clasped his palms together and said seriously: "The poor monk's meditation is heart meditation. He cultivates his heart but not his mouth."

Dongfang Ran smiled and realized that this honest monk was not honest at all.

Everything was ready in the kitchen, and several kinds of rice dumplings that he had prepared with his own ingredients and seasonings had been put into the pot in advance.

After Dongfang Ran arrived, he started the stove and started the fire. Amidst the intensive clinking sounds of spatulas, one after another dishes that were full of color, aroma, flavor and form, and which brought supreme enjoyment to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, were brought out and sent upstairs one after another.

When the last dish was put on the plate and the rice dumplings in the pots over there were cooked, Dongfang Ran ordered someone to send them upstairs and changed his clothes before going upstairs again.

As the host, he raised his wine glass and smiled at everyone: "Thanks to Lu Xiaofeng, I have the honor to entertain all of you good friends, which has greatly enhanced the splendor of our building. I use the self-brewed Zhuyeqing to express my welcome to you all. "

Everyone went to get the wine glasses, but Gongsun Lan knocked off Ma Qingfeng's outstretched hand and said angrily: "You are only a few years old and you have to learn how to drink!"

Ma Qingfeng smiled apologetically and said, "Sister Lan, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, can you just drink a little?"

Seeing him looking at the wine glass eagerly, Dongfang Ran said with a smile: "Miss Gongsun, this Bamboo Leaf Green is made by my father who used Fenjiu as the base wine, and added more than ten kinds of amomum villosum, red sandalwood, angelica, tangerine peel, clove, sesame, and patchouli. The medicinal materials are grown and mixed with rock sugar, snowflake sugar, egg white, etc., and are refined and aged for ten years. The entrance is sweet and mild. After drinking, it can warm the stomach, soothe the liver, benefit the spleen, activate blood circulation, and smooth the qi. Let the little marquis drink it for a while. A few won’t hurt.”

Gongsun Lan saw that the wine in the cup was golden with a hint of green, and smelled mellow and fragrant. It was indeed the best of bamboo leaves and greens. After a slight hesitation, he finally nodded and said: "Limited to three cups."

"Thank you, Sister Lan!"

Ma Qingfeng cheered and eagerly grabbed a glass of wine in his hand.
