Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 116
Yeah, how could this be?Emperor Zhengxi has never established a crown prince, and the Great Wei Dynasty has never had a legitimate prince. It seems that there is no surprise in today's result.

"Old general, do you think it is good or bad for us at this juncture?" Mr. Tian alluded to the matter of the general. If the imperial power changes, maybe the matter of the general will turn around.

Xia Shiyong shook his head, "Nine times out of ten it is bad."

"Old General—"

Xia Shiyong sighed: "The one in the palace is the King of Qin. He should be the one who won this time."

Mr. Tian panicked: "Old General, what should we do then? That Shao man tried his best to use the matter of the General to climb up the ranks?"

"Then what can I do?" Xia Shiyong said with emotion, "When he sent someone to let me stand in line, I felt that if he were an emperor, he would lack both strategy and bearing, at all..."

"It can go on like this, we..."

Xia Zetao, who was resting on the bed, struggled to get up, "Father, why don't I leave Yizhou and hide in the Western Regions."

"My son, it's not about whether you can hide or not now."

"Father..." Xia Zetao was at his wit's end. For ten years, a general lost his grasp of the current situation and his judgment of political affairs.

Xia Shiyong comforted his son: "Don't worry, we will discuss it after Zi'an comes back."

"Father……"

"Don't panic, you have a father and a son, you just need to heal your wounds with peace of mind."

Xia Zetao had no choice but to nod, and lay down again.

Xia Shiyong took Mr. Tian out of the room, "Where is Zi'an?"

"I heard that they have already set off, and it is estimated that it will take five days to arrive in Pingding."

"Well, be careful, write letters to the garrisons in the counties, telling them to guard the city carefully, and don't be careless."

"Yes, old general, I understand." Mr. Tian hurried to work.

Xia Shiyong returned to his bedroom, and the chief follower asked him, "Do you want to tell the old lady about the general?"

"Don't talk yet."

"Oh."

No one thought that the wife of the general, Zhao Suxin, who was always thinking about the general, never thought of telling him that his man was still alive in Pingding County.

Alas, if she cared a little about the people and things around her in normal times, there would always be someone who couldn't bear to tell him secretly!It's a pity that she didn't. From a worldly perspective, isn't she a failure in life?

The capital was in chaos, the emperor died, and the obituary was not officially announced until three days later. At this moment, King Qin has already sat on the dragon chair. The two princes Zhao and Jin who are capable of competing with him would have followed their father if they hadn’t escaped quickly. Ascension to heaven together.

When Xia Zhen and others heard the news, they had already arrived at Nanshui, and they would arrive in Pingding with more than a day's journey away.

Zhang Nianmei asked: "Where did the two princes Zhao and Jin escape to?"

The dark guard replied: "I heard that King Zhao fled to the south, to the Wuyue area, but there is no news about King Jin, so I don't know where he fled to."

Zhuang Hao narrowed his eyes: "I am more concerned about what official position Shao Youliang got before the new emperor?"

Xia Zhen glanced at Zhuang Hao.

"Little general, I'm afraid he will take the military power of Yizhou."

Xia Zhen's eyes were tightly closed: "Can I get it if I want it? Then we have to see if my Xia family agrees."

"But the General of Xiangzhou Mansion belongs to the King of Qin. If he joins forces with Shao Youliang, we're afraid..." Zhuang Hao frowned.

Xia Zhen put down the tea bowl, "We'll talk about it in Pingding."

"Yes, little general."

Seeing Xia Zhen put down the bowl, Ma Min'er quickly put down the bowl and followed. They didn't avoid her to tell the news about the current situation along the way. Hearing these news, she felt extremely guilty. He must have a lot of things to do when the imperial power changed. Busy, but in order to save himself, he didn't care about anything. It was a long journey from Pingding to Fucheng, and he chased after Liu Zaili without sleep.In order to find himself, he mobilized all the forces of good and evil in Fucheng, and really dug three feet to find himself.

Unknowingly, Ma Min'er's gaze changed. Her attitude towards Xia Zhen changed from an adult's looking down to a little lady's hero-worshiping look up. The appearance of love.

Some people like big women, some appreciate strong women, but many people are willing to be an ordinary little woman, hugging a man's arm, looking up slightly, smiling eyes, full of appreciation and admiration, and even more joy and admiration .

Trotted to catch up with Xia Zhen, he turned around, stretched out his arms, hugged the little daughter-in-law onto the horse's back, then stepped onto the horse's back himself, wrapped her waist with one hand, and pulled the rein with the other. With a neigh, he started to run, and in the process of running, the 20-year-old man's maturity and tenacity showed his limitless at this moment.

Mr. Tian thought of this matter just like Zhuang Hao, and he reminded: "Old General, what should we do?"

"If this is the case, we will hand over our military power, but he is not worthy; if he refuses to hand over and defies his will, I don't know what to do." Xia Shiyong's mood can no longer be expressed in terms of worry. It is really the moment of life and death for the Xia family. .

Why doesn't Mr. Tian know: "Let's wait for the little general to come back."

Before the little general came back, Gu Dun who was in Chuanling came back, "Damn, those soldiers heard that Shao Youliang had gained power, so they turned against each other, and they all secretly ran to the Xiangzhou mansion. I was planning to stop him. But sir, if you don’t let me use violence, I will come back in a fit of anger.”

"This...you..." Mr. Tian was so angry and wanted to laugh at what Gu Dun said, and even wanted to beat him up, he was so angry that he waved his hand, "Okay, you go to rest, the rest of the matter, I will do it myself."

"Oh." Gu Dun looked heartless.

Mr. Tian hurriedly mobilized [-] elite soldiers, and promoted a new General Zhou to lead the troops there. "Although you are asked to fill in the hole, it is also your chance. Do you understand?"

"Sir, General Mo understands that crisis is opportunity." General Zhou said sonorously.

"Okay, you used to just guard the border of Lingchuan and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of it. For other things, you will have your own orders when the little general returns."

"Yes, sir."

When the new emperor ascends the throne, apart from the timely news of the capital and high-quality officials, it is difficult for ordinary people, especially those in remote areas, to get the news in the first place. The impact is not large.

But for the officials, it was tricky. When Lord Yao got the court report, the new emperor had been enthroned for five days, and even the little general Zhen Guo who was looking for Ma Erniang was almost back.

Lord Mo asked: "My lord, how do we deal with those corrupt officials now?"

Lord Yao frowned, "Take it easy."

"grown ups……"

"I think General Xia will understand what I mean."

"Oh." Lord Mo nodded, "Then you mean..."

"In addition to fines, resignation and relegation to common people."

"Yes, my lord!"

Master Yao nodded, "During the national funeral, Master Mo, please be careful, Mr. Yao is going to bid farewell to the old general and return to Fucheng."

"Yes, my lord, I will see you off."

"At this time, don't send it away, and manage the affairs of the county well!"

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

It's really more timid to be closer to the hometown. Xia Zhen, who was rushing all the way, pulled the reins when he saw the gate of Pingding County, and looked at the tall gate tower, and did not move for a long time.

The crowd followed behind him, and the civilians and businessmen inside and outside the city also consciously avoided it. The entire gate of the east city was quiet without a single sound.

"Xia Zhen—" Ma Min'er gently held his hand, "Let's go in."

"En." Replied softly, Xia Zhen pulled the horse rope, and the horse slowly entered the city gate.

In the little general's mansion, Mrs. Ling was asking when the little general would come back. She received a letter from her man. After reading the letter, she tightly covered her heart in fright, "Why... how could this happen?"

"Ma'am, what's the matter?" the accompanying girl asked hastily.

Madam Ling crumpled the letter in her hand subconsciously, "No...it's okay."

"Ma'am, is it master..."

"It's okay, it's okay..." Mrs. Ling was taken aback, "Where's Ruya?"

"Earlier, I delivered breakfast to Mrs. Xia, and now I am serving Mrs. Xia."

Madam Ling frowned, and stood up, "After serving the young ones, I went to serve the old ones, what do you think of us Ruya?"

"Madam—" the girl looked at her wife in surprise, she had never done this before, how could she say such a thing today.

"Look at what I'm doing, am I wrong?" Mrs. Ling snorted coldly, "Lu He, pack up quickly, let's go back to Xiangzhou Mansion."

Lu He reminded: "Husband... madam, I heard that the little general is coming back soon. Didn't the wife of the great general agree that day..."

"She promised something, hurry up and pack up, I'll go find Ya'er." Madam Ling found a torch, lit it, and burned the letter in her hand.

Lu He looked at her in surprise: "Husband..."

"Clean up quickly."

Luhe felt strange, but the master asked her to clean up, so she could only clean up, hey.

Mrs. Ling arrived at Mrs. Xia's wing. Her daughter was handing the old lady a handkerchief. Her gaze sank and she smiled, "Old lady, I heard that the little general is coming back. Have you eaten a few more bites?"

"Yes!" The old lady happily replied.

"The old lady is really blessed to have such a capable grandson." Madam Ling said compliments that didn't come close.

Mrs. Xia seemed to be used to her flattering, she just smiled and didn't answer.

"Mother—" Ling Ruya bowed to her mother.

"Ya'er, you must be tired after a busy morning."

"Mother, my daughter doesn't feel tired after serving the old lady."

"You..." Mrs. Ling smiled at the old lady, "Old lady, a man from my concubine's family has sent a letter, let's go back!"

Mrs. Xia was really surprised: "Going back?" The mother and son have never mentioned going home, and they treat this place as their own, and they are the directors here, more like masters than she is.

Madam Ling smiled happily: "Yes, let me take Ya'er back with me."

This is strange, usually I can't wait to post my daughter here, but today I want to take her back. Although the old lady was surprised, she didn't show it on her face, "Ya'er, I really don't want to go back. This child is cute and sensible, and she is by my side." , really helped a lot, I can't do without her."

Mrs. Ling squinted her eyes and smiled meaningfully, "Oh, I also want to keep her and take care of you and my sister, but our Ya'er is not too young, so when we go back this time, his father should find her for him. The mother-in-law is gone."

"It's... actually like this?" Mrs. Xia looked at the little lady standing on the side, feeling a little sorry, but on the grandson's side...she couldn't say anything.

Having said all this, the old woman still refused to vomit, Madam Ling didn't try anymore, and pulled her daughter over, "Say goodbye to the old lady, we are going back."

"Mother..." Why are you in such a hurry? Ling Ruya looked at her mother in shock. When she came out in the morning, she hadn't heard her saying that she was going back. Could something have happened?

Madam Ling squeezed out a smile and said, "Come on, child, your father told you to go back, so please say goodbye to the old lady."

"Mother—" Ling Ruya refused and went back. She still had a chance to marry her cousin.

Madam Ling secretly grabbed her daughter's hand, hinting at her with her eyes, Ling Ruya had no choice but to listen to her mother and say goodbye, hoping that the old lady would keep her, but the old lady just sighed, "Qiuqin, put my head on my face. bring here."

"Old Madam—" The old nanny didn't move.

"Hurry up, this is my wish for San Niang."

"Yes, old lady."

Ling Ruya was extremely disappointed, she wanted to hear the old lady's words more than her face, but the old lady didn't.

"Good boy, come here often when you have time!" Mrs. Xia held Ling Ruya's hand with both hands, very enthusiastic, but this enthusiasm was not what she wanted.

The old mother was holding a brocade box, opened the lid, and a classy face came into view, Madam Ling must have been happy in the past, but at this moment, she made a smirk, "Oh, old lady, how did this happen. "

"Yes, Sanniang is worthy."

Ling Ruya showed a sad smile.

After another chatter, the mother and son of the Ling family came out of Mrs. Xia's wing, and the old mother asked suspiciously, "Why did Mrs. Ling suddenly want to go back?"

"Didn't I just say that Colonel Ling sent a letter asking them to go back."

"But the old slave thinks it's not that simple."

Everyone knows Ling Sanniang's desire to marry the little general. Madam Ling clings to the old lady all day and makes the old lady spit it out, but today she said she would just leave. It's really...

Although Mrs. Xia also had doubts, she didn't think much about it. A general's wife like her only has the heart of guarding against others, and she doesn't push others. If she wants to leave, she will leave. Although she is a little bit reluctant, it's not a big deal of.

Back in the room, Ling Ruya cried directly, "Mother, did you really write a letter, or are you trying to test the old lady?"

"Your father really wrote a letter. He said he found a good man for you."

"Mother—" Ling Ruya couldn't believe her ears, "Is there any better man than my cousin?"

"You child, there are many better men in this world than him."

Ling Ruya cried: "But...but I just like my cousin."

Mrs. Ling also hated: "He neither marry nor marry, when you wait, hurry back with your mother."

"No, I'm not going back."

No matter how much Madam Ling tried to persuade Ling Ruya, she refused to leave. Madam Ling gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "The Xia family is about to suffer a catastrophe. If you don't leave, you will be killed!"

"Ah, mother, what's going on?" Ling Ruya was shocked.

"Come with me first, and I'll tell you on the way." Madam Ling said.

Ling Ruya was frightened by her mother's seriousness.

After pacifying the camp, the guards rushed back, "Old general, the young general is back, he has already entered the city gate, and he will arrive within half an hour."

Xia Shiyong stood up happily, "Zian is finally back, finally back." He turned to look at his son, "Tao'er, your son is back."

Xia Zetao smiled, "Father, I have already secretly met Zhen'er."

"Your name is Zhen'er, he already has words."

"He was only ten years old when I left, and he's used to it."

"Hey!" Xia Shiyong sighed, and sat down heavily, "It's been ten years in a flash, but fortunately, our family can still be reunited, which is better than anything else."

"Father..." Xia Zetao understood what his father meant by 'better than what', which refers to the future of the Xia family!
After pacifying the camp, Xia Zhen stood at the door of his father's bedroom, daring not to enter.

Ma Min'er gently touched Xia Zhen's hand, looked at him with full eyes, and encouraged him.

Xia Zhen pursed her lips and strode across the wing.

The old general called out first, "Zian—" he was so excited that he couldn't speak anymore, and turned his eyes to his son beside him.

"Grandfather—" Xia Zhen saluted him first.

"Son, this is your father... Dear..." Before the old general finished speaking, he shed tears first.

Xia Zetao stood up tremblingly. Although he had peeked at his son countless times, and was secretly proud countless times, but face to face, he couldn't say a word, and there were tears in his eyes.

Xia Zhen looked at her father in a blink of an eye, and it was no longer the tall, mighty, omnipotent young father in her heart. He was old and thin, which made him unbelievable, and made him feel distressed, muttering to himself: "Father... "

The voice was very small, but Xia Zetao still heard, "Son, my Zhen'er!" He stretched out his arms, smiled with tears in his eyes, and waited for his son to rush over, just like when he was a naughty child more than ten years ago.

If it was before, Xia Zhen would never have physical contact with anyone, even if this person was his grandfather or father, but in the past few years, he has had a lot of contact with Ma Miner, and the closeness of his daughter-in-law to her father has made him countless times Envious, fantasized.

Seeing his father's open arms, even though he was already much taller than him, even though he was already a majestic commander, he still stretched out his arms and hugged him, "Father—" This is the highest etiquette for a grown son to his father.

Xia Zetao was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that his son had grown up, and he was no longer an eight or nine-year-old child. He felt sad and pleased, hugged his son tightly, and patted him on the back, "Good son, do it!" Well done, better than me."

"Father—" said ten years of ups and downs.

Xia Shiyong waved to the others, meaning to let everyone go out and leave this place to their father and son.

Ma Min'er followed everyone out of the main hall.

Xia Shiyong turned his head, "Are you Ma Erniang?" She looks pretty good and behaves generously.

"Yes, old general." Ma Min'er quickly saluted.

Nodding his head, Xia Shiyong continued to walk forward, and stopped when he reached the open corridor, and everyone followed suit.

Ma Min'er was a little apprehensive, feeling like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws, she lowered her head slightly and stood among the crowd.

"King Qin has ascended the throne, and the country name is Longxiang. King Zhao fled to the land of Wuyue. I heard that King Jin went to the northwest. Some people say that he went to Qingzhou Prefecture, and Yizhou..." Xia Shiyong stopped talking. up.

Zhuang Hao and Mr. Tian knew what he was going to say, and looked sad.

Zhang Nianmei and Gu Dun also felt the oppression that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of wind.

Ma Min'er sighed in her heart, from the emperor to the courtiers, running all the way down, she faintly felt that the Xia family might lose power in this change of imperial power, and she was really sad for them.

Xia Shiyong sighed deeply, "It's getting late, let the kitchen serve dinner, no matter what, you will only be strong when you are full."

The crowd was silent.

Xia Shiyong saw that everyone hadn't moved, so he took the lead.

Ma Min'er watched the crowd leave, but did not follow. She stood by the corridor without moving.

Zhang Nianmei walked a few steps, but found that the old sister hadn't followed, turned around, and said in a low voice, "Old sister, I'm going to eat."

"I... I won't go." On the one hand, Ma Min'er wanted to go home, on the other hand, she felt that it was a bit against the law for her to have dinner with them.

"Why don't you go?" Zhang Nianmei looked up at the other end of the corridor, "Are you waiting for the little general?"

Ma Miner smiled and acquiesced.

"The old general gave time to their father and son. He must arrange for the two of them to eat together. Let's not wait any longer."

"I...I mainly want to go home and say hello to Xia Zhen."

"So this is ah."

"Well, my father must be dying of anxiety."

Zhang Nianmei rubbed her nose, "Why don't you say hello to the old general?"

This is the only way to go, Ma Miner nodded, "That's fine."

After a few steps, Zhang Nianmei arrived at the old general first and smiled at him.

"Nianmei, what's the matter?"

"Old general, my sister wants to go home."

Xia Shiyong stopped and turned his head, "You want to go back?"

"Yes, old general, my father must be waiting impatiently at home." Ma Min'er saluted again, "Thank you little general for saving me!"

Xia Shiyong smiled and said, "I heard what Mr. Tian said, and thank you for saving Zi'an's father."

"This is what I should do."

Xia Shiyong nodded, "Come here—"

"Old General."

"Arrange a carriage and take the little lady home."

"Yes, old general."

"Thank you, old general."

Asking an old general to personally arrange the carriage, nothing else but love the house and the house, Xia Shiyong nodded and turned back to the restaurant again.

Ma Min'er breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and said to the guard, "Brother, do you have a pen and paper? I want to say goodbye to the little general."

"You wait."

"Thank you."

In Ma's house, it was getting dark, Shi Chunyue had already prepared dinner, and asked, "Xing'er, where is Si Niang?"

"Go to the intersection and wait for someone."

"The big boss's gone too?"

"En." Xing'er nodded.

Shi Chunyue heaved a long sigh, looked at Guozao, "Where is Mr. Jiang?"

"He took some refreshments and was sitting in the kiosk drinking tea while blowing the wind."

"This old man..." Shi Chunyue smiled helplessly, "I don't know if he is considered effective or not. Is Erniang coming home today?"

Mu Na's Xing'er said: "I think it works."

"Look..." Shi Chunyue didn't expect her to reply, she shook her head and smiled wryly, "You tidy up the kitchen, if Erniang really comes back, she will definitely have dinner here."

"Oh." Myolie picked up the shovel and tidied it up.

Shi Chunyue stood at the door and looked outside. In the cubicle, her son was writing under the oil lamp, "Bao'er, how is it?"

"Mom, do you think I can write well?"

"it is good."

"Mother, if you don't understand, I won't ask you any more. When it's finished, ask Master."

Shi Chunyue was also happy to be rejected by her son, "Then you write slowly, mother will go and see if Erniang is back."

"Oh, mother, I'll go with you and wait for Aunt Min."

"You write yours."

"I'll go with you." Four-year-old Niu Xiaobao put away his pen and ink, and arrived at the intersection with Shi Chunyue.

"Boss, Si Niang—"

"Aunt Niu!"

"Have you seen anyone?"

"not yet."

"Oh." Shi Chunyue picked up her son and looked towards the county town.

Sitting in the carriage, Ma Miner was eager to return home, and kept looking towards the direction of Xiaowang Village. For some reason, in just a few tens of days, she felt as if she had been away for a few years. Under the moonlight, those scenery became strange No way, how could I feel this way? She was a little sad, wondering what happened to her father and Yue'er.

Father Shi looked towards the intersection, "His mother, don't mess with dinner, let's go to the intersection and wait for Erniang."

"Oh, I'll throw another handful of firewood." Aunt Shi said as she threw a handful of firewood, patted the grass clippings on her body, took off her apron, and called out, "The second and third children are with your father. Go to the intersection."

"Mom, I got it, I'll put the farm tools away."

The third son, Shi Yu, came over, "Mother, what news did you get that Erniang is coming back today?"

"No one said, it was the fortune teller who made the calculation and said that he would come back today."

"Ah..." Shi Yu said in amazement, "I thought it was the news from Daying. After a long time, he figured it out. Are you sure?"

"He is a fortune teller, it will be accurate, hurry to the intersection."

"Oh." Shi Yu called his wife and children to the intersection together.

When we got to the intersection, some villagers also came, and everyone chatted while waiting at the intersection.

"Jiangshen is an old god. He made a fortune for my second kid the other day, saying that he had a flood recently, and he was almost drowned. Fortunately, someone passed by the river and was rescued."

"It's so amazing, I'll let him do the math some other day."

"It doesn't necessarily count for you. His fortune-telling depends on fate, and he will only do it when fate arrives."

"There are other things like this. If I give money, he still refuses."

"Come on, he's an expert, so you can get a few pennies if he looks at you, so don't worry about it."

Hee hee, everyone burst into laughter.

Father Shi stood beside Father Fu, "Brother, how are you doing recently?"

"It's okay." Father Fu replied, he no longer guards the door, and concentrates on taking care of the elderly.

"What about Xiaoyou?"

"In the town, talk to shopkeeper Peng about the things in the shop."

"Small and capable."

Father Fu smiled, "He just ran around and messed around."

"Father is humble."

"I'm telling the truth"

Father Shi smiled silently.

Shan Xiaodan stretched out his head and looked at the official road to the east, as if there was a light flashing by, he said to Yueer, "Si Niang, let me go and have a look." After speaking, he ran away.

She ran very fast, and after half a quarter of an hour, she arrived at the intersection of the official road, just as a carriage was about to turn into the village.

"Er Niang, Er Niang..." She recognized the driver as a guard in the barracks.

Ma Min'er opened the curtain, "Miss Shan."

"Er Niang..." Shan Xiaodan rubbed her eyes and cried.

"Little single eye, don't cry, I'm back!"

"I... I didn't cry, Dadong's family and Siniang are waiting for you at the intersection."

Ma Min'er excitedly shouted, "Brother guard, please stop here, I will run back by myself."

"This...isn't that good."

"It's okay, stop for a moment, I'll get off the carriage." Ma Min'er jumped out of the carriage, "Miss Shan, take the guard brother to my house."

"Okay, Er Niang."

Ma Min'er carried her skirt and ran all the way, "Father, little sister..."

As if hearing his daughter's cry, Ma Qifeng and his little daughter also ran away, "Min'er..."

"Second sister..."

In the dark night in the countryside, the moon is in the sky, the father and daughter of the Ma family run on the field, the breeze is blowing, making people feel refreshed, and the three of them gather on the path full of fireflies.

"father……"

"Min'er—"

"Second sister."

The three hugged each other tightly, and the torment of more than ten days turned into tears of joy and tears.

"Dad, I miss you."

"Daughter, my daughter, you almost drove father to death."

"Second sister, second sister, I miss you too."

……

The villagers of Xiaowang Village stood behind the father and daughter of the Ma family. Seeing this situation, they all shed tears secretly. It was not easy, it was not easy.

Shi Chunyue wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Da Dong's family, Er Niang must be very hungry after traveling all the way, so hurry home and have dinner."

"Yes, yes, you must be starving, hurry back and have dinner."

The father and daughter held hands and pulled each other home, "Everyone should go back too."

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

It feels so good to go home. Ma Miner sat at the small kitchen table, picked up the rice bowl and started to plan the rice. After a few snores, one bowl was gone. Shi Chunyue hurriedly filled another bowl for her, "Aunt Niu, I don't want you to Sheng, you take Xiaobao to eat."

"I'm not hungry, Aunt Min." The four-year-old Niu Xiaobao spoke softly and was extremely cute.

Ma Min'er, who was planing rice, took the time to reach out and pinch his little cheek, "No fat."

"Hee hee, I miss my aunt and lose weight."

"What..." Ma Min'er, who was planing rice, almost choked on the rice, raised her head and shouted, "Aunt Niu, I know how Uncle Niu tricked you."

Pfft... Shi Chunyue covered her mouth and smiled, glanced at the man standing at the door of the kitchen, "It's not like that."

"Haha..." Several people standing at the door laughed, and Niu Dabao was embarrassed.

"What are you laughing at?" Niu Xiaobao pouted his mouth in confusion.

Ma Min'er pinched his little face again, "I'm laughing that you don't need to spend money to marry a wife in the future."

"Why?" The little guy was puzzled.

The crowd laughed again.

An old man's voice came from the laughter, "It's unreasonable, you don't call me for dinner."

The people standing at the door automatically told Feng Jiang Yikong to let him into the kitchen.

"Why are you at my house?" Ma Min'er was surprised.

The old man replied straightforwardly: "I am your wife now."

"Master?"

"Correct."

Ma Min'er pursed her mouth and continued to eat.

"Zichang, why are you sitting and not eating, are you waiting for me?"

Ma Qifeng smiled awkwardly, "My daughter is back, I am so happy to forget my father."

"It's okay, I don't care about it." Feng Jiangyi didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

Shi Chunyue had no choice but to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for him.

Ma Min'er said to everyone, "It's getting late, everyone go eat."

The helpers of the Ma family dispersed.

"Zi Chang, do I count as being effective?" Feng Jiang Yi asked for credit in awe.

Ma Qifeng admired him very much: "Father Jiang's calculations are very accurate."

"Of course, if the old man doesn't speak, it will be absolutely accurate once he speaks."

Ma Miner pouted.

Ma Yue'er snickered, and said to her second sister in a low voice: "Don't believe it, we are waiting for you at the intersection tonight, and it is he who made the calculation."

"so smart?"

"En." Mayue'er nodded.

Ma Min'er stared at him again, continued to eat dinner, and after a while, ate two more bowls to fill her stomach.

"Father, you talk to Father Jiang, I went to take a shower and went to bed, I was so sleepy."

"Okay, you go."

"Father, I will accompany Second Sister."

"Go, let's go." When his daughter came back, Ma Qifeng's heart fell to the ground, and he was relaxed and happy.

Feng Jiangyi stared straight at the table: "You little lady, who doesn't wait for the parents to finish eating before the little lady can leave the table?"

"It's fine at my house, how about it?" Ma Min'er snorted.

"No rules."

"Hee hee, we like to live a life without rules, how about it?"

"Inappropriate." The old man stared again.

Ma Min'er made a face at him, "Father Jiang, you have stayed so long without rules! Are you also a person with no rules?"

"Smelly girl, sharp teeth and sharp mouth."

Ma Min'er laughed loudly, took her sister's hand and left the kitchen, chattering all the way back to the room.

In Ma Zhai, Yunshui Town, Ma Yihui was standing in front of his grandfather, "Grandfather, why didn't the new king grant amnesty to the world when he ascended the throne?"

Yes, he has been waiting for this day, but when it came, the new king did not give amnesty to the world, Ma Chengzu suddenly felt very depressed, but he couldn't show it, and said calmly: "Maybe, the new king is not free yet. "

"No, grandfather, every new emperor ascends the throne, in order to show his benevolence, he will promulgate the decree of amnesty to the world, so as to win people's hearts, but the enthroned King Qin did not, this..."

Ma Chengzu was both gratified and sad that the eldest grandson could analyze this truth, "Ziyun——"

"grandfather……"

"You should just keep a low profile."

"But grandfather, how long will we raise him? The new emperor is in the prime of life, I'm afraid it's..."

"Then the next generation."

"Grandfather..." Ma Yihui looked at his grandfather in surprise.

"Those who achieve great things must not only have ability, but also have a heart that can endure loneliness."

"Grandfather, I..."

"It's getting late, go and rest."

Ma Yihui saluted his grandfather listlessly and left the study.

Ma Chengzu also sighed, but time is waiting for me, so what can I do?
Mrs. Ma came in and urged him to wash and go to sleep.

"understood."

"What did you say to Yihui just now, the kid went out listlessly."

"He is waiting for the new emperor to pardon the world."

"Will there be?" Madam Ma looked at him eagerly.

Ma Chengzu replied: "According to common sense, the general amnesty will be issued three days after the new emperor takes the throne, but now it's almost ten days."

Mrs. Ma frowned: "Maybe it's because the decree was passed down slowly?"

"Whether it's slow or not, there must be news coming out. Many people are waiting for Amnesty to turn around."

"That's true." Mrs. Ma said: "The matter of the second child has been judged."

"How about it?"

Mrs. Ma replied: "The second daughter-in-law said that the fine will be doubled and she will be jailed for three months."

"His life... oh..." Ma Chengzu sighed.

"The second daughter-in-law came to borrow money, how much?"

"Let's see." Ma Chengzu didn't care about these at all.

"You didn't intercede for him, so I can only give you more money, otherwise, you, father, will be hated by him for the rest of your life."

"Follow him."

Mrs. Ma sighed, "I heard that there is a fortune teller from Lao Liu's family, why does it sound like your deadly enemy, Master Feng?"

The gloomy Ma Chengzu's eyes lit up, "Who did you just talk about?"

"Feng Jiangyi!"

"How would you know?"

Mrs. Ma replied: "The servants of the old six's family said that there is an old man Jiang who can tell fortunes. I asked people to find out his name, and he was called Jiang Yi. I asked people to find out his appearance, and I think it is him."

Ma Chengzu kept walking back and forth in the room, "I heard that a few years ago, he traveled all over the world, and he was actually in Lao Liu's house. What do you mean, could it be that he...he counted Zhengxi..."

"Master...Master..." Looking at the old man who had been stunned for a long time, Mrs. Ma called out a few times.

Master Ma came to his senses, "If there is a chance, I will meet him."

"Aren't you rivals? What's the deal?"

"I asked him, what do you mean, why did you live in my son's house?"

"You..." Madam Ma didn't expect the old man to say such a thing.

In the big camp, Xia Zhen and his son finally came out of the various emotions of meeting each other, and the three generations of grandparents sat together, "The news has passed that the new emperor Longxiang has let Shao Youliang take over the military power of Yizhou Prefecture. Let us hand over the military power of Yizhou Prefecture." Great seal."

"It's all my fault. I gave them an excuse to seize military power."

The old general shook his head, "It's not your fault. Before the late Emperor died, he tried to woo forces everywhere. I didn't agree. If he came to power, our Xia family would definitely not be able to escape this calamity."

"Father, what decree do you think he will make after he wins the seal of command?"

"I'm not afraid of any imperial decree, but I'm afraid that he wants to kill the grass."

"Father--"

"grandfather……"

The silence in the room was eerie.

Xia Zhen stood up suddenly, "Then don't hand in the big seal."

"Zian—"

"Zhen'er..."

Xia Zhen said coldly: "He came to the throne for no reason, there are many people who are not convinced, and I am not one of them."

"Zi'an—" Xia Shiyong looked at his grandson in a daze.

"Grandfather, do we have a way out?" Xia Zhen asked back.

"no!"

"If that's the case, then don't hand it in." After Xia Zhen finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, "If you want it, you can come and get it."

Xia Shiyong and Xia Zetao looked at each other, this is going against the sky!

Mr. Tian and others who were waiting at the door looked at Xia Zhen, "Little General—"

"If he has the ability to take it, we admit defeat. If he doesn't, don't blame us for not handing it over."

"Little General, what do you mean...?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Mr. Tian and Zhuang Hao looked at each other, exhaled secretly, but his uneasy heart was calmed down by his words, "Little General, what should we do next?"

"Comprehensive martial law on the Yizhou defense line."

"Yes, little general."

Ma Min'er was lying on her big bed and sleeping soundly. She didn't know that a bloody storm had come in the Great Wei Dynasty, and that the hidden danger hidden by the late emperor's desire for power had finally exploded in this change of imperial power.

After receiving the emperor's edict, Shao Youliang went north happily, and soon arrived at the place where Yixiang was handed over. Nearly ten thousand soldiers who had escaped from Lingchuan, saw him and shouted happily, "General, general..."

Shao Youliang raised his arms high, "All the military officials under me will be promoted to three ranks now."

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty."

Shao Youliang said with arrogance: "When I take over the seal of the General of the Yizhou Prefecture Township, you will be the generals with real power."

"Thank you, general, the general is mighty." Everyone shouted excitedly.

Shao Youliang changed the subject: "However, I know that the person surnamed Xia is not so obedient to hand over his seal. Now we will go to Daying, Xiangzhou Prefecture to borrow someone."
