Disgusting husband cultivates virtuous

Chapter 168 Chasing (two chapters in one)

The old man originally gave Zhu Deyi the impression that he was both majestic and elegant, but he didn't expect that after being "ill", he would still have such a childish side.Zhu Deyi sighed secretly, no matter what kind of hero he is, once he gets sick, he is so helpless.

He glanced at his sick leg, he should be luckier than the old man, at least he is still awake.Think about it wrong, the old man is much luckier than him, the old man has so many relatives who love him, even if he is stupid, he still lives a happy life.It would be miserable for me, if I was not awake, I would have been killed by my "relatives" long ago.Even if you don't die, you don't know how to live without dignity.

He smiled and asked the girl to take out the gifts that he had given to Brother Zhen, Tai Chi, and Sister Xiong in his own name.For Brother Zhen are the Four Treasures of the Study, for Tai Chi are golden bells, and for Big Sister Xiong are several bolts of thick, wear-resistant and colorful Korean cloth.

Xie Xian'er had already sent someone to fetch the gift she had prepared for Brother Xian. It was a set of scarlet silk cotton trousers made by herself, a red claw leather cap, and a pair of brocade boots.On behalf of Ma Erlang, he also presented a small bronze lion ornament.

The next day, Ma Sanlang asked for leave to represent Ma Mansion and went to Prince Shun's Mansion to deliver the New Year's gifts, but he didn't dare to let Ma Silang, who was at home, to provoke Princess Shun.This time it was Ma Sanlang who was received by Zhu Deyi, and the meeting between the two parties was very pleasant.When Ma Sanlang went back and was about to walk out of the gate, he ran into Zhu Dejing, the third son of Zhu.Zhu Dejing is the biological son of the Yao family. What is more powerful than Zhu Deyi, the eldest brother, is that he has been named a general of the auxiliary country by the emperor.

Ma Sanlang bowed and cupped his fists and said, "The villain sees General Zhu."

Zhu Dejing glanced at Ma Sanlang twice, first laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, General Ma is here to send a new year gift?" Then, he approached Ma Sanlang and said in a low voice, "Hmph, what a bunch of big bastards can you give me?" Mashiri."

Ma Sanlang's face was flushed with anger, his eyes were wide open, and he squeezed his fists vigorously.If he hadn't come here on behalf of the Ma family today, he would have given him a good meal even if he risked his life.

Zhu Deyi was close, and when he heard this, he lowered his face and scolded, "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? My father will definitely not forgive you if he finds out."

"If you have the ability, go and sue, and see whether the father believes in you or me." Zhu Dejing walked away while talking.

Zhu Deyi hurried to accompany him, "Brother Ma, my third brother is innocent, and your lord has a lot, so don't take it to heart."

Ma Sanlang snorted coldly, and said meaningfully, "Young Master, it's even more difficult for you." After speaking, he got on his horse and left.

Ma Sanlang didn't dare to tell the truth to the old lady when he went back, he only said that Zhu Dejing had a bad face.The old lady could see that Ma Sanlang was very angry, and it must be Zhu Dejing's very unpleasant words that could make this calm third grandson so angry.

Then he persuaded, "It's not worth getting angry with this kind of person. If the well water doesn't offend the river water, we respect him, and if we get anxious, we don't fear him."

The second master found out and cursed angrily, "That idiot, there will be a chance to deal with him in the future."

On the 28th, Mrs. Liu's third master Liu Zikai delivered the annual gift from the eldest lady's natal Xihou Mansion. The Ma Mansion has always been ignorant and silent about the annual gift from this family.This year, Ma Silang and Manager Wang, who were in charge of the reception, became a little suspicious after reading the gift list. The annual gift this time was much better than previous years.When did the Liu family become so generous and rich?
At this time, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhenxihou, who came with Liu Sanye, was talking with the eldest lady in the main courtyard.

After hearing Mrs. Li's words, the eldest lady said angrily, "No matter what you say, it is the Hou's mansion, and for the sake of money, you even married with the Dou family in Liaocheng. That family is a distant relative of the Queen's mother's family, Su Guogong's mansion. It is the clan with the same surname attached to the past. A wealthy landowner, is it worth you to marry a concubine daughter? If you really want to marry, a concubine daughter is enough. If you do this, not to mention that it will be difficult to marry in the manor in the future, even those of us who marry The girls who go out have dull faces."

Mrs. Li sneered and said, "Since my aunt has a good face, she is afraid of losing her face. Why didn't she know how to help her mother's family? You know the situation in our house. There is only a shelf, and the inside is empty. If you don't find a way out , Hundreds of people are waiting to drink the northwest wind? Now that we are married to the Dou family, we can start some business and make some money, and life is much easier than before."

The eldest lady snorted, "If I don't help you, is there still less money in my hand that was conspired by you? No amount of money is enough for a big family. If the men in the mansion can really do business seriously, your days will be early." It’s not the current situation. To put it bluntly, it’s to follow the business. To put it bluntly, it’s just reaching out to control other people’s money. Let me tell you, the wealthy family’s background is strong, and their money is not just for free. It should be taken Take it, don't take it if you shouldn't take it."

Li said, "What shouldn't be taken? Auntie, why haven't you figured it out yet? We are better off than you are. Our family is your natal family and your reliance. We are not the only ones who are in trouble." Helping?"

Da Furen originally wanted to say that I don't care about you being relied on, but thinking about whether she had nowhere to go or had to go back to her mother's house a few months ago, she said nothing.

Seeing the attitude of the eldest lady, Mrs. Li felt that there was some drama.He continued, "The sixth girl from Dou's family has also come to your house now, and her family is also married to Duke Yu's mansion."

The eldest lady was not happy when she heard that, she scoffed, "One concubine and one servant, what kind of marriage is that?"

Li Shi said, "You can't say that. Aunt Dou was given by the queen mother and queen, and she is a noble concubine. What your brother means is that the aunt is the mistress. Always give Aunt Dou some face, don't make her life too difficult In this way, not only will Aunt Dou's life be easier, but we will also be able to explain to Dou's family, and Empress Dou will remember your feelings..."

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Ma Guogong and Ma Erlang still didn't go home.The second master said that the emperor didn't even go to court in the past few days, and even a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War were missing.

Early in the morning, the old man led the men to the ancestral hall with the help of the second old man to worship their ancestors.In ancient times, a woman had only one chance to enter the ancestral hall once in her life, and that was when she married.No matter how strong the old lady is, at this moment she can only watch helplessly as little boys like Brother Zhen are qualified to worship their ancestors, but she can't get in.

Xie Xian'er was even worse. Due to the special situation when she just married, she has not entered the ancestral hall until now, and her name has not been written in it.It was agreed that Ma Erlang would take her in on New Year's Eve, but Ma Erlang didn't come back, so we had to wait until later.

Brother Zhen went back to the Jiange after worshiping his ancestors. Xie Xianer changed him into a happy red dress and a small hat with melon skin.Taiji and Sister Xiong have already dressed up. Today Taiji not only wears a wreath with gold bells on it, but also wears a little red brocade dress embroidered with lace. His beard and hair are also combed smoothly by green branches. It is so beautiful that it stands on the makeup mirror and refuses to come down.

Sister Xiong is wearing a peach red floral crop top and a pleated miniskirt of the same color, which is convenient for standing up and crawling.There are also two golden bells around the neck, and a small round hat with a red curly brim on the head.

Xie Xian'er was also dressed up in a festive and gorgeous way. Inside was a satin pannier with red and flowery palace makeup, and a purple mink jacket on the outside. The family went to Fuqingyuan beautifully.

As soon as the family arrived at Fuqingyuan, the second wife laughed, "Hey, everyone in this family is beautiful, especially our baby, who is the prettiest."

The praise made Sister Xiong very shy.

The old lady also laughed, "We don't have a daughter in our family, why don't we dress up our baby as a daughter?"

After talking and laughing for a while, the impatient old man and Ma Wuye led the children, Tai Chi, and Sister Xiong to the yard to set off firecrackers.There is no snow today, and although the winter sun is not very warm, it is also extraordinarily brilliant.Ribbons and lanterns are hung everywhere in the yard, coupled with the sound of firecrackers and laughter, the atmosphere of the New Year is even more intense.

The Dongci room was as warm as spring, the old lady was sitting on the Arhat bed, the men were sitting on the armchairs on both sides with the eldest lady and the second lady, and Mrs. Zhang was busy going in and out.Qin Shi and Xie Xian'er, who were already pregnant, were also sitting on the chairs, but the old lady waved them over and sat cross-legged on the bed with her.

Qin shi leaned on the old lady and smiled, "Grandma, do you know why my father insisted on letting me marry into the Ma family?"

Xie Xian'er laughed first, "Qin Houye must have taken a fancy to Sanbo because he is handsome and talented."

One sentence made everyone laugh.The old lady laughed, "What I'm talking about is that I'm not an old woman boasting, all my grandsons are handsome."

Qin blushed and nudged Xie Xian'er, and then said coquettishly to the old lady, "My father has taken a fancy to grandma who has no daughter, and mother-in-law has no daughter, so he will treat me like a granddaughter and a daughter-in-law." Love."

After hearing this, the old lady was so happy that she hugged Qin Shi in her arms and said, "No, Qin's family is sure, our family is a rare girl."

Xie Xian'er pretended to be jealous, "Grandma can't be partial, there is me, and me."

The old lady was even more delighted, and hugged Xie Xian'er again with one hand.Then he raised his head and said to the eldest lady and the second lady, "Our Ma family's sons are all good-looking, and their roots are there. When Dad Dalang and Father Sanlang were young, oh, how many girls like them, and they chase after them. Tight."

The exaggerated appearance of the old lady made everyone laugh.The second master laughed and said, "If you chase him closely, you always chase him with a stick."

Everyone laughed even harder, the old lady laughed so hard, Qin Shi held her stomach and laughed, Xie Xian'er was busy obedient to the old lady, and then helped Qin Shi obediently.

Everyone laughed enough, Xie Xian'er said to the old lady again, "Don't just talk about things with your sons and grandchildren, grandma should also talk about herself. When you were young, did you chase grandpa with a whip, or did you chase grandpa with a stick? Grandpa caught it."

It happened that the old man went back to the house to drink water, and after hearing Xie Xian'er's words, he suddenly remembered when he was handsome and handsome.Looking at the old lady, she said, "Hua'er looked decent when she was young, and the golden snake and bamboo leaf dance is the most beautiful."

Xie Xian'er was even more casual with the old man, and said with a smile, "Oh, I see, it turns out that grandma chased grandpa with a whip."

The old man agreed deeply, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I liked Hua'er lightly hitting me with a small whip at that time."

The bold old lady also blushed a little, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of your children and grandchildren?"

The old man still wanted to talk, but he heard Brother Fang outside the window shouting loudly, "Grandpa, why haven't you finished drinking the water yet?"

The old man who was brought back to reality turned into a child again, and hurriedly replied, "Here we come." After drinking a few sips of tea, he hurried out again.

At this moment, not only the female relatives are envious of the love of the old couple for so many years, but also the men are deeply touched.

Xie Xian'er hugged the old lady's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandma, my daughter-in-law is so envious of you."

Qin also said, "My grandson-in-law is also envious."

The eldest lady's eye circles are a little red, her husband looks the most like the old man, but why doesn't he look like him at all in this respect?
The old lady has been married to her husband for nearly 50 years, and she has supported her all the way, and now she has children and grandchildren around her knees, and she is full of emotions.Patted Xie Xian'er and Qin Shi's hands and said, "Don't envy grandma, Ma Jiaerlang is like your grandpa, so naturally he won't..." When he saw the eldest lady, he changed his words, "You should learn to be smarter and know how to grasp The heart of a husband. Sometimes a man is like a child and needs to be coaxed."

Ma Sanlang said with a smile, "Grandma, why does your grandson think that your granddaughter-in-law is your own, and your grandson is brought back by them?"

One sentence made everyone laugh again.The old lady pushed Qin Shi and smiled, "See, your man is jealous."

The lunch is simple, it's mutton pot, and I don't drink alcohol.After the meal, the old man and the children continued to play wildly. The second master led the third and fourth masters to play cards in the upper room of the Fuqing courtyard, and the women all went back to have a lunch break.

About time, everyone went to Fuqingyuan again, the eldest lady, the second lady, and Wang Momo accompanied the old lady to play the horse-sling, Xie Xian'er and Qin Shi watched from the side.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner, Ma Guogong and Ma Erye finally came back.They are travel-laden and dusty, and they look like they have traveled a long way.The old lady was surprised, "Aren't you all in the palace, why did you make it so dirty?"

Ma Guogong said with a smile, "We, Mr. He, Mr. Wei and others accompanied the emperor to the weapons factory in the western suburbs, where we will spend the next few days eating and lodging."

Xie Xian'er thought, this emperor is really diligent, which is rare among ancient emperors.

The old lady said, "I'll talk about the specifics later. Da Lang Niang and Er Lang's daughter-in-law, go and clean up your men before you come back."

The four agreed to leave Fuqingyuan.

Ma Guogong hasn't bathed and changed clothes in the main courtyard for a long time, and he doesn't want to go, because he gets tired of seeing Mrs. Liu.Originally, I wanted to go to the outer courtyard or the Li Garden where Siniang was named, but seeing the earnest eyes of the eldest lady, thinking that today is New Year's Eve and tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and the old lady ordered so again, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and talk to the eldest. The wife went to the main courtyard together.

From the way Ma Erlang swung his toes high, it can be seen that he is in a very good mood.Xie Xian'er couldn't help it anymore, and wanted to remind him to pay attention to his appearance and posture.Second Master Ma whispered to Xie Xian'er, "Girl, in the not-too-distant future, your husband will definitely give you a royal order, and you will be no worse than sister-in-law and the others."

　Thank you dear for the monthly pass, safety talisman, and gift, thank you very much!
