Disgusting husband cultivates virtuous

Chapter 167 The icing on the cake
The old lady said, "It's cold in winter, and weapons made of pig iron are more likely to break. If our army uses this weapon on a large scale now, it will be invincible."

Ma Guoye nodded and said, "What mother said is that this time our family's Erlang has made great achievements for the court." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ma Erlang with admiration. Feel.

The old lady looked at Xie Xian'er approvingly and said, "Erlang's wife accounts for at least half of Erlang's extraordinary achievements for the court."

The old lady's thinking is quite advanced, and she understands the truth that "the military medal is half yours and half mine".

Ma Erlang said honestly, "No, more than half of the credit goes to the girl."

Xie Xian'er is unwilling to take the credit for this, because it's hard to explain how a woman in her boudoir can know so many smelting techniques.As for the matter of "learning art in a dream", it's okay to fool Ma Erlang, but it's not good to fool others.

Quickly said, "Second Lord, you are being polite. The charcoal was found by Sister Xiong, and the coke and good steel were made by the people who led the second master to lead the jade and iron. If I really want to say that I have credit, it is just a job for the second master. The venue and opportunity. I can't be praised by grandma and second master."

The second master laughed and said, "Whether it's Erlang or Erlang's wife, they are all members of our Ma family anyway. This time, you have made great achievements for the court and also earned face for our Ma family."

Ma Guogong nodded and said, "Second brother is right, Erlang's daughter-in-law doesn't have to be overly modest, our elders can see your kindness." Then he said to the old lady, "Let's eat quickly, I want to bring Erlang and coke, weapons, Billet went to the palace to see the emperor."

At this time, Mrs. Zhang had a chance to interject, and asked with a blushing face, "Father, uncle, is he alright?"

Ma Guogong laughed again, and said, "When I am happy, I forget the letter that Da Lang sent someone to bring." Then, he took out three letters from his pocket, and handed one to the old lady and one to the old lady. Ma'am, pass one to Mrs. Zhang.

The contents of the letters were roughly the same, they all said that they were fine and safe and sound.

Ma Guogong smiled at Xie Xianer again, "Dalang has made a lot of military achievements this time, and the emperor also specially praised Mr. Huo and me, saying that he will be a tiger. I would like to thank my in-laws for giving him a meritorious service." Chance."

Xie Xian'er smiled and said, "If you have a chance, you have to be capable. Uncle is good at martial arts and brave in battle. It is the elders who taught him well. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dogs. With an elder like you, it is difficult for uncle to make great achievements. "

A few words not only made Ma Guogong feel comfortable, but also made the eldest lady laugh happily.She was still dissatisfied that Ma Erlang was too alienated from her, not respectful and affectionate to the old lady.Especially when he looked at Mrs. Xie from time to time, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled again, which made Da Furen's teeth ache with hatred.A girl's film that hasn't grown up yet, is it enough to hook him out of his mind?If it wasn't for the Laoshizi's family rules set by the old lady, she would definitely get Ma Erlang two concubines.

But later I heard that Ma Erlang had made such a remarkable achievement, and that Ma Dalang had also made a great contribution, so the way he looked at Ma Erlang changed a little bit.The person who burns good charcoal and casts good steel is his own son.Think about it, her three sons are all promising, and she will rely more and more in the future.

Everyone happily ate the mutton hot pot, changing cups and laughing constantly.This time Ma Dalang and Ma Erlang have made great contributions, and the promotion of officials is certain.The Ma family is united. Although this is a happy event for the first room, the second room is equally happy.They are all a family, and the sons of the first family are promising, and they will definitely be able to support the people of the second family.

Except Ma Guogong and Ma Erlang didn't drink because they were about to enter the palace to see the emperor, the other adults drank some wine.The old lady drank blue and white carvings with the men, while the female relatives drank rice wine.

It is said that only adults can drink alcohol, but Xie Xian'er is not yet ready to chisel, so she is not considered an adult.But today was an exception, because she "assisted" Ma Erlang in his extraordinary achievements, and everyone toasted her frequently, making her delicate face even more rosy.

Although Ma Erlang didn't drink, he heard the praise from his elders and younger brothers, and saw his wife being complimented by everyone, and even the eldest wife put a lot of good food in Zhen Ge'er's bowl.Because of his own prospects, he finally let his wife and children get the attention of his family. For the first time, he felt elated.He clenched his fists under the table, and he will continue to work hard to earn the girl's life as soon as possible.Today, among the female family members of the Ma family, only his wife is still white.

After dinner, Ma Guogong and Ma Erlang hurried to the palace with their things.

It was snowing heavily outside again, and everyone braved the wind and snow to return to their own yard.Because it was too cold, Brother Zhen and Brother Fang who were walking the same way were walked back in the arms of Big Sister Xiong.

As soon as Xie Xian'er sat down on the kang on the east side of the house, two women from Fuqing Court brought in a box, which was a pair of half-person-high cloisonne vases with wide mouths for Xie Xian'er.The old lady is a smart person, she must have guessed that Xie Xian'er came up with these ideas, her reputation was taken by her grandson, so she specially gave her some good things to make up for it.

Just as the two wives were being sent away, the second master sent someone over again, presenting Ma Erlang with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, a small red sandalwood inlaid with jade.The second master is very generous this time, this set of four treasures of the study is the treasure of the previous dynasty, smooth and shiny, exquisite and gorgeous.Apart from Yunqueqiu and the shop in Shangjing, this is Ma Erlang's most valuable property.And these three sets of things were all obtained by Xie Xianer after he married into the Ma family.

Thinking about it, Ma Erlang is pitiful enough. He was born as the son of Yu Guogong, but he has nothing good to sell.Before he married in, he was probably poorer than nine-year-old Fifth Master and seven-year-old An Geer.Because he doesn't please the elders, he doesn't have any chance of being rewarded.The elders occasionally dig out some private houses for their beloved children and grandchildren, and no one will think of him.

Thinking of this, Xie Xian'er despised the eldest lady even more, she just didn't give anything to the second son, and wanted to get the Hong family's dowry over, and only this mother could do it.

Just as he was thinking, Shan Shan from Da Furen's yard came with a big brocade box, which was a red agate ornament of koi playing with lotus, and said that Da Furen specially gave it to the second master.Xie Xian'er was startled, she really wanted to go out to see if the moon came out from the west.

This is really easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow.The same is true for my own family.

The next day, Ma Guogong and his son did not go home. This matter is very important. Maybe they will stay in the palace for a few days.In the afternoon, the annual gift from Princess Youchang's residence will arrive.It is a etiquette in the Great Xia Dynasty that in-laws or good family members give each other New Year gifts.The New Year's gift from Ma's house was sent out a few days ago.

What the Ma family didn't expect was that Prince Shun's Mansion also sent a new year gift.The relationship between Prince Shun's Mansion and Ma Mansion was mediocre in the past, and they never exchanged new year gifts.I became a god-in-law this year, and I walked around a bit more frequently, so it's normal to give a gift or something.But when the incident happened some time ago, the Ma family also knew that they had offended Shun Wang and his wife. Although the cooperation in the amusement park was not interrupted, they did not ask for any boring gifts.

The annual gift was sent by Zhu Deyi, and Fourth Master Ma led Brother Fang to receive him in the outer courtyard.After he handed over the gift list, he proposed to go to Fuqingyuan to pay respects to the old man and the old lady.

When a few people walked down the steps of the hanging flower gate of Fuqing Courtyard, they saw the blind bear standing upright in a bright skirt like a hill, with his front legs stretched forward, and three children were hanging on his front legs with both hands. swing.Zhu Deyi was taken aback, his legs were already lame, he lost his footing and almost fell, but it was Ma Silang who held him back.

He couldn't help but secretly annoyed at his gaffe, it seemed that his cultivation was still far from being up to the mark.He had already heard from his son about the existence of Big Sister Xiong, and knew that she liked to wear bright clothes, so he gave her a special gift for it, but Leng Ding still lost his composure when he saw this scene.

Ever since Sister Xiong scared the eldest lady last time, she knew that she had caused trouble.So whenever it sees a stranger, it will sit down obediently, look at the guests with a smile, and express that although it looks very individual, it is very gentle.

Seeing it like this, Zhu Deyi couldn't help laughing, it's really a baby!He walked over and introduced himself, "I am Brother Xian's father, thank you for saving him."

Sister Xiong also nodded at him very politely.

Knowing that Zhu Deyi was coming, the old man had already been called into the house by the old lady, and he was waiting impatiently.Xie Xian'er was also there, she wanted to avoid it, the old lady said that the two are relatives and old acquaintances, so it's okay to meet.

Zhu Deyi entered the room, first bowed to the old man and the old lady, and then conveyed the greetings of Prince Shun.He also expressed that the friendship between the two prefectures should be maintained for a long time. In modern terms, it means friendship will last forever.This also reveals a piece of information. The matter of Zhu Yan's marriage to Ma Silang should be caused by Princess Shun, Queen Mother, and Queen Dou.

At the same time, he also secretly conveyed someone's greetings to the second elder.Due to special reasons, he couldn't visit the two elders in person, but he always missed them in his heart.

The old lady laughed and expressed her attitude with a poem, "Knowing each other is not far or near, and we are neighbors even thousands of miles away..."

An old man and a young man spoke in diplomatic terms, the old man was extremely impatient, pointed at Zhu Deyi and said, "You are not as fun as your son."

Zhu Deyi smiled and said, "My old man's complexion is much better. This is really a blessing for the country."

The old man rolled his eyes at him again, and said to Xie Xian'er, "Daughter-in-law, this man is a prudence, let him go home quickly, and bring his son back."

No matter how well-mannered Ren Zhu Deyi was, he blushed even though he was so disgusted by others.

Xie Xian'er was already very casual with the old man. Seeing him like this, she scolded, "Grandpa, Mr. Zhu is a guest, how can you treat him like this."

Seeing that his granddaughter-in-law was unhappy, the old man hurriedly said, "I'm just saying, it's fine if my granddaughter-in-law doesn't want to, I didn't say anything about being a grandpa."
