Chapter 166 Good News
As the flavor of the new year gets stronger, Mrs. Zhang gets busier.Not only to be busy with various affairs in the mansion, and Ma Silang's marriage, but also to deal with the eldest lady.

The emperor bestowed marriage on Ma Silang and Rong Zhinan, and the lady was overjoyed. She was also afraid that Ma Silang would marry an arrogant and domineering lady, not only harming her son, but also herself.Although with Shiro's family background, talent and appearance, he is enough to be in-laws with the emperor and prince.But being a princess is equivalent to inviting back an old ancestor, and the whole family has to support her.If he married a princess like Zhu Yan, his beloved fourth son would never be happy in this life.

And Rong Zhinan met all her requirements. She was born in the clan, had a noble status, and was extremely loved by the emperor, but she was not high enough to despise the government of Yuguo, who was in power.There is such a daughter-in-law who can give her face and be filial to her.

This marriage is a major event in the mansion, although it is said that they will get married in the next year, if they count the beginning of the year and the end of the year, there is only a little more than a year to prepare.Mrs. Zhang was busy preparing for the wedding, but it was the end of the new year, and there were more affairs in the mansion, so she was so busy that she was dizzy.After helping her for two days, the old lady also had a headache.So she asked the second wife to help her manage Zhongfu, and temporarily allocated Wang Momo, who was beside her, to Mrs. Zhang to help her prepare for the wedding, and in the name of finding two good assistants for her.

At first, the eldest lady thought that the old lady could let Mrs. Zhang give her back the power of presiding over Zhongfu. Not only was she thinking about how to pretend to shirk it, but she also privately asked her confidantes who were kicked out of the power center to do a good job before taking up their posts. Prepare.As a result, the old lady didn't mention her, and directly asked the second wife and Mrs. Wang to help Mrs. Zhang take care of it.Mrs. Zhang agreed happily and didn't say a good word for her.

The eldest lady was so enraged that she went back and smashed her precious pink porcelain tea bowl to pieces.The old lady can't help it, but she can still do it by torturing her daughter-in-law.Therefore, she had to find excuses at least three or four times a day to call Mrs. Zhang to the main courtyard, and she couldn't speak well. Mrs. Zhang couldn't express her suffering, so she had to cry secretly.

The old lady also knew that the eldest lady was torturing Mrs. Zhang, but it was right for the mother-in-law to let her daughter-in-law go to the yard to set up rules and lecture them.However, this daughter-in-law has completely given up on it. She has taught so much and ignored it, but now she doesn't even bother to teach.

It was Ma Silang who heard some rumors and came to the main courtyard to persuade the eldest lady, "Mother, if you treat sister-in-law like this, grandma and father will be unhappy if they find out. Don't you see that grandma can even talk to you now?" If there is less, it is even more rare for Dad to come to the main courtyard. If you continue to do this, you will push them farther and farther."

The eldest lady was very wronged, and said with red eyes, "Your father is helping no one and not me now. In his eyes, everyone is right, but I am wrong. Your grandma also dislikes me, forgetting that she is right in my mother's eyes." Promise before death. Now, even you are coming to scold me, so why do I want to live?" He cried and said, "You don't let me do anything, are you really willing to let me go with those two Disgusting concubine fighting? No matter how stupid my mother is, I know that thinking about fighting with my concubine every day, and fighting with my concubine, has lost my worth. Your father kept saying that he would show me dignity, but I have been back for so long, and he only came here. Once, I sat in the courtyard for less than a quarter of an hour, and still reprimanded me for being too close to those two concubines. Mother is really embarrassed. I am not good to those little women. I am not good. Be good to those little women. And blame me for not having a bowl of water level..."

Ma Silang shook his head when he heard this, he didn't hear what his father said with his own ears, and he understood that his father didn't want her to get too close to Mrs. Dou, but he didn't dare to say so.I am afraid that she will accidentally say this and Dou will know it, and then pass it on to the Queen Mother and Queen Dou.But Niang misinterpreted it like this.It turned out that his mother wasn't very smart, but she wasn't too confused. What happened to her now?
He sighed a few times, stretched out his hand to persuade the eldest lady, "Mother, my grandma has said many times that those two women are two things, and mother doesn't need to bother with them at all. Since father won't let you Go and pay more attention to them, just listen to your father, it's not worth getting angry about this."

The eldest lady continued to cry, "Mother doesn't want to put her mind on those two things, but why should I be idle every day? Brother Fang was picked up by the old lady, and I even said a few more words to him. Your father I'm not happy with your grandma. I want to bring brother Ping to raise him, but your father doesn't agree. They are guarding against me, afraid that I will lead the grandchildren astray. How many times did my mother say that my mother was caught by Hui The girl was deceived, the mother didn't punish her son and grandson with outsiders, the mother is not so unbearable..."

Ma Silang felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and once made some big mistakes, he would hate him for life.Now in the eyes of grandma and father, his mother is stupid, unvirtuous, greedy, and a villain who disregards other people's lives. She has completely lost the heart of her mother-in-law and husband, and she will never go back to the past.If she is honest and doesn't bother, maybe she will still have a place in this mansion for the sake of the face of her children and grandchildren.If she goes beyond the bottom line of the old lady and Ma Guogong, she will not be able to stay in this house.

Outsiders know how tough the old lady's methods are, and almost no one dares to provoke her.Since the founding of the dynasty, apart from the emperor, this old lady dared to beat the first-rank and second-rank officials with a whip.Only she is courageous and always rebellious.Why doesn't she think about it, her mother's friendship has been exhausted by her.

Ma Silang persuaded again, "You did do some wrong things that made my grandma and my father extremely dissatisfied. Mother should not deny it, and my son also thinks that you did something wrong. It is indisputable that Tan Jinhui killed the first second sister-in-law. The fact that she dared to do that is not only the result of your connivance, but also her understanding of your mind. Therefore, my grandma, my father, and my second brother were angry with you and temporarily took away your housekeeping rights. Even your son I think it should."

The eldest lady cried even more fiercely when she heard this, "I love you so much in vain, and you actually help them to make your mother angry. There are no parents who are not right, how can you say that about me?"

Ma Silang said, "However, Ah Yi is obedient, trapping relatives is unrighteous, and it is also unfilial. If the son doesn't speak clearly and let the mother continue to make mistakes, then it will really hurt the mother...Mother, just listen to the son's persuasion Let's be quiet for a while, and do needlework if there is nothing else to do. Make some clothes for dad, and dad will be happy too. It's better to make some small things for grandparents, which is also your filial piety. Look at the second sister-in-law, grandpa and grandma's She made many things herself, and it's no wonder they favor Second Sister-in-law..."

As soon as Xie Xian'er was mentioned, the eldest lady suddenly had an idea, stopped crying, took Ma Silang's hand and said, "Good boy, can you go and tell your grandma to let the real brother stay with me. I am the real brother's mother-in-law, and Mrs. Xie is the stepmother. How can the stepmother have a mother-in-law? My yard is so big, and it is too deserted for me to be the only master. boring."

Ma Silang was taken aback, if he brought Brother Zhen to the main courtyard, let alone others, Ma Erlang would definitely not do it.His mother still doesn't know that the second elder brother is different now, and he won't let her manipulate and fool her at will.

Ma Silang persuaded him for a long time, until he got dry and tongue-tied, and then temporarily dispelled the madam's idea of ​​bringing Zhen Geer over to raise him.After he left the main courtyard, after thinking about it, he decided to go to the orphanage, trying to get some errands for his mother in front of the old lady, so that she wouldn't have to worry about the family members.

After hearing this, the old lady also felt that what Ma Silang said made sense.Leaving Mrs. Liu idle all day thinking about it, it's better to find something for her to do.But letting her take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard requires Zhang's assignment, and she is definitely not willing to do so.After thinking about it, he said, "The number of guests who come to our amusement park has never stopped. There will be more people coming every year. It used to be that your third sister-in-law was with you, but now your third sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger. The bigger it is, let your mother be responsible for accompanying guests."

In a blink of an eye, it was the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Ma Erlang came back.Although he is dusty and has red eyes, he is in good spirits.In Xie Xianer's view, it was like taking stimulants in her previous life.He went directly to the orphanage, and brought a large cart of burnt coke, a few weapons made of good steel, and some steel billets.

The old lady also knew about weapons. She listened to Ma Erlang's explanation in amazement, and her blood boiled with excitement.If a piece of pig iron wants to become good steel, it needs to be forged hundreds of times.A treasured sword sometimes takes the whole life of the master swordsmith, and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon in time to make it.

The pig iron smelted from this coke becomes good steel after smelting.Weapons made of this kind of good steel are not only sharp, but also tough and wear-resistant, and the handles are precious knives.

The most important thing is, what kind of "assembly line" did they use, and it is not a problem to forge dozens or hundreds of precious swords in a day.

After Ma Guogong and the second and third masters came back, they were even more excited.Ma Guogong said excitedly, "This afternoon, the emperor just received the urgent news of the [-]-mile border crossing. The army led by Marshal Xie just fought a big battle with the Turks a month ago. Our army won a big victory. Now the two The army is already at a stalemate. The key to victory this time is that they selected some strong men from the barracks who knew martial arts to form a Flying Tiger Camp. Da Lang and Xie's relative Da Lang served as deputy lieutenants of the Left and Right Army. The twenty elite soldiers of the Feihu Camp were equipped with the best weapons given to them by our family Erlang, and General Huo Xiao personally trained the formation. Elite soldiers holding swords, axes and other weapons suddenly rushed from the formation to the front row, cutting off the weapons in the hands of the enemy, followed by the strong men of the Flying Tiger Battalion slashing at the unarmed Turkic soldiers, and the enemy did not parry at all. In this battle, the Turkic Army was defeated, and our Feihu Battalion severely damaged the invincible Turkic Cheetah Battalion with minimal casualties, turning our army's passive situation in one fell swoop..."
