Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 119 Brother Zhen Xia Chong
"It's so hot, what are you hugging!" Xia Zhen was reading the official document, and raised her eyes in dissatisfaction when she heard what her husband said.

Mr. Tian quickly raised his hand and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm taking the liberty." He stood up while talking, "That humble job will not disturb the little general's work." He walked away with a smile, and even hummed He sang a ditty twice.

Xia Zhen frowned in the official room, and said to herself, "I don't hug the rabbit, what makes him so happy?"

Yes, isn't it just a puppet!No, no, for Xia Zhen, it's not just a puppet, but also a way of expressing his mentality.

In the past, Xia Zhen got angry and irritable at every turn, and his whole person seemed extremely unstable, making his people live cautiously, as if their master would explode if they were not careful, and they would be beyond recognition.

Now, Xia Zhen's mood has stabilized. Not only that, but she showed rare wisdom in dealing with Shao Youliang. For the first time, she didn't solve the problem in a rough way, allowing them to take the initiative in a calm manner. .

Mr. Tian felt at ease. He felt the growth of the other party. He asked the rabbit, which confirmed his guess. Sure enough, his little general no longer needed to use external objects to balance his inner emotions. He was sincerely happy for him.

Back in the official room, Mr. Tian hadn't sat down yet, and there was news that Emperor Longxiang had suppressed too many people in Beijing, which aroused public outrage, and even the imperial clan denounced his injustice and inappropriate words for assuming the throne.

King Ning's youngest son, Liu Zaili, escaped from the capital because he was supporting King Jin, and Prince Ning's mansion was almost hit by a disaster, so he was stopped by the clan.

Emperor Longxiang had constant external troubles, as well as internal troubles. Since he had ascended the throne for more than forty years, several adult sons were vying for the position of crown prince, so what a mess.

Foreigners from the north came to invade the Great Wei Dynasty again. They wanted to cross the border and enter the Great Wei Dynasty. The King Jin who fled to Qingzhou had no choice but to fight abroad. He commanded the Qingzhou government army to rescue the Liangzhou government. Because of the actions of King Jin, the people of Lianmeng, Liangzhou and Qingzhou prefectures all surrendered and attached to him, which is really an unexpected harvest.

The blocked Turkic alliance with Jin and Mongolia moved eastward and spread to the area of ​​Xiangzhou Prefecture. Liao Shijie, the general of Xiangzhou Prefecture, led an army of [-] to fight hard.For a while, there was a rare peace in Yizhou area.

Mr. Tian saw the little general walking out of the camp with his buttocks following the fire, and smiled quietly, "Since it's easy, let the little general relax."

Zhuang Hao stared at the little general's back, and said to Mr. Tian: "Master Jiang in Ma'er's family, for some reason, reminded me of Feng Jiangyi, sir, you said he would be Feng Jiang, the former prince's young teacher. Yat?"

Mr. Tian stroked his beard and said, "It's him."

"Sir, how did you know?" Zhuang Hao asked in surprise.

Mr. Tian replied: "The general was able to escape Shao Youliang's black hands, thanks to his help."

"So that's how it is." Zhuang Hao said, "Yesterday he asked why the little general came back."

"Have you returned yet?"

Zhuang Hao nodded, "Sir, why is Feng Jiangyi not in another place, but in Yizhou, and why did he settle down near Xiaoniu Mountain?"

"Do you still remember the formation on Maverick Mountain three years ago?"

"Yes, sir."

Mr. Tian thought for a while and said, "If you have a chance, you can check it out."

"okay."

In Yunshui Ma's house, Ma Chengzu actually received a hint from the capital.

"My lord, what did it say?" The old butler stood beside the master and asked anxiously.

Ma Chengzu glanced at the old servant, "Emperor Longxiang said that as long as I agree to lobby scholars, he will reinstate me as an official."

"My lord..." The old housekeeper's eyes lit up with joy, "Then do you agree?"

Ma Chengzu replied without thinking, "Of course I don't agree."

"What, my lord, you don't agree?"

"Grandpa, why don't you agree?" Ma Yihui came in from the door.

Ma Chengzu glanced at the old servant, "Don't tell anyone."

"My lord..."

"You go out first."

"Yes, my lord." The old butler went out with a sleepy expression, and smiled at the imperial envoy who sent the hint, "Our lord is still thinking about it, please sit down and rest for a while, I will ask the servants to prepare some snacks and tea for you Mode."

The imperial envoy said proudly: "This is a great opportunity, and I hope Mrs. Ma will not miss it. Except for our master, no one has such a gift."

"Yes yes yes..." The old butler looked bitter, but he didn't know what to say, and bowed back.

Inside the room, Ma Yihui stared at his grandfather, "Why don't you agree, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Ma family."

"Of course I know that this opportunity is not easy, but if I agree with Emperor Longxiang now, then why should I be the real emperor in the first place? In my mind, I will never support things that are not well-known or that are not right. Let me It is absolutely impossible to go to Shilin to lobby." Ma Chengzu said with righteousness and sternness.

"Grandfather, don't you just have the heart to let me be trapped in such a small place as Pingding, and just be a student in your academy for the rest of my life?"

Ma Chengzu looked at his eldest grandson with a sad face, "I said, if one generation can't do it, then the second generation, as long as we can bear it, we will definitely have a chance to revive the Ma family."

"Grandfather, if this continues, it will not be our sons and grandsons who revive the Ma family, but those sons and grandsons. In this way, is the bloodline of our Ma family still upright?"

"..." Ma Chengzu was blocked by his grandson and couldn't say a word.

In the evening, Xia Zhen arrived at Ma's house, and everyone was out to work on the farm. Father Fu said he would not look at the door, and then he looked at the door. When he heard the knock on the door, he opened the door and looked, "So it's the little general, and the little boss is not at home. Went out to harvest the wheat."

"Oh." Xia Zhen turned her head and looked towards the field. There were a lot of people, and everyone was harvesting wheat.

"Little general, why don't you go to the field to see it, it seems very interesting." Zhang Nianmei said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xia Zhen turned around.

Father Fu watched them go to the field, shook his head and smiled, and closed the door again. After a while, someone knocked on the door again. He thought, where are you noble people who can suffer from the field, and opened the door again, but it was not there, " You are……"

"Is Master Jiang here?"

"Master Jiang has gone to the fields to glean ears of wheat."

"Gleaning ears of wheat?" The visitor looked towards the field.

"Yes, may I ask if you are..."

"Then I'll come back tomorrow."

Father Fu smiled, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see him during this time, he will be gleaning ears of wheat in the fields."

The visitor frowned, "Which field is he in?"

Old man Fu walked to the gate of the courtyard, pointed to the north and said, "See that big lotus pond? They're going there."

"Yeah." The visitor walked towards the direction he pointed with his hands behind his back.

In late June, even in the evening, the sun is too harsh. Ma Miner’s head is wrapped like a beekeeper’s, airtight. She really needs to work and be beautiful. She is afraid of getting sunburned, so this is the only way to go. .

"Old sister... sister..."

Ma Min'er stood at the head of the field and helped Mai Ke to load the wheat handles on the flatbed truck, "Why are you here?"

"Isn't your family employing workers, and you need to go to the fields yourself?" Zhang Nianmei asked with a smile.

Ma Min'er replied: "Three days before the start of work every year, our family will go to the fields in person to work with everyone."

"Ah, why three days?"

"Don't forget your roots, it's not easy to appreciate farmers." Ma Min'er smiled, but her gaze met Xia Zhen's, her smiling eyes curved.

The young couple was tired and crooked, Zhang Nianmei curled her lips sourly: "Then who will entertain us?"

Ma Min'er said: "Either take a look at the scenery here, or go back to my house to sleep for a while, and I will go back when it gets dark."

"Ah, you are so kind to forgive us here!"

"You are not outsiders, are you, brother!" Ma Min'er smiled.

Xia Zhen frowned.

Ma Min'er saw it, and immediately raised her face, "Brother Zhen, right?"

"Zhen...brother...poof..." Zhang Nianmei gasped and couldn't help laughing.

Xia Zhen's beautiful eyebrows were submissive.

Another flatbed truck came over, and Ma Miner turned around immediately, and put the bundled wheat handles on the cart, "Brother, come and help, one person and one edge, I'm even behind, come and help!"

"You..." Zhang Nianmei reluctantly jumped off the field, stood beside her, reached out to pick up the wheat and put it on the flatbed truck. The wheat was picked up so fast that the people pushing the carts couldn't bear it.

Xia Zhen was not in a hurry, she found a shade tree, and stood under it with her hands behind her back, watching the fields being busy.

"Sister, how is brother?"

Ma Min'er wiped off her sweat and gave a thumbs up, "Amazing."

"Haha..." Zhang Nianmei was even more enthusiastically praised.

Taking advantage of the spare time, Ma Min'er came over with a bamboo tube, "Brother, replenish your energy." After speaking, she raised her head and drank one too.

Zhang Nianmei glanced under the tree beside the road, "Don't you want a tube for your Brother Zhen?"

"He doesn't work, he has no share." Ma Min'er grinned, and looked at him while smiling, "Hey, why is my grandfather here?"

"That?" Zhang Nianmei followed the old sister's gaze.

"That old man with a serious face."

Zhang Nianmei saw it, and he was indeed a serious old man. He smiled and turned to look at his sister, "You don't like him?"

"I don't have a cold."

"What do you mean you don't have a cold?"

Ma Min'er replied: "It's almost like not liking it."

"Haha..." Zhang Nianmei snickered, seeing the wheelman waiting in front of her, she quickly threw the wheat handle.

There were no idlers in his eyes, except for a few people standing under the shade of the tree. Based on his own experience and the old wife's family background, Ma Chengzu immediately guessed the identity of the visitor, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xia Zhen also noticed the person coming, and with a slight movement of her eyes, she scanned the person and guessed the person. Turning her head slightly, Xiaowen immediately understood the meaning of the master.

Stepping forward, "May I ask who the old man is looking for?"

"Where is Master Jiang?"

Xiaowen didn't know either, so he hurried to the head of the field, "Er Niang, I'm here to look for Mrs. Jiang."

"Oh." Ma Min'er said to Zhang Nianmei, "Don't be lazy, I'll come as soon as I go."

"Hey, you really treat me as free labor." Zhang Nianmei pouted, "Xiaowen, come down and work for your master."

Xiaowen said, "You're my brother, I'm nothing, so of course you do it." After speaking, he shook his head and left.

"Hey, it's really... really..."

The pusher was honest, seeing that he was not moving, he wanted to put down the cart and come by himself.

"Don't move, it's my job, I'll do it." Zhang Nianmei looked at the sky, and really started to do it.

The big lady and the little daughter-in-law who were working in the fields were so tired that they seemed dehydrated. When they saw the handsome and handsome young men, all of them looked like chicken blood. They sneaked a few glances and flew up while working.

Under the shade of the tree, Ma Chengzu and General Xia were not introduced, they were awkwardly there, and neither of them moved.

If it is based on rank and status, Ma Chengzu should go forward to salute; if it is based on elder and junior, Xia Zhen should go forward first, and the result is that the two have never met, the relationship between them has never been clear, and neither of them goes up. forward.

Not far away, in the harvested field, Feng Jiangyi was leading his elementary school children to pick ears of wheat, "Master Jiang, someone is looking for—"

"Who is looking for me?" Feng Jiangyi was a little fat, bending over to pick up wheat ears was like torture, when he heard someone calling, he was very happy, and he had an excuse not to work.

Haha, the old man Feng who is a teacher is suffering to death. He is with his elementary school students. He doesn’t even dare to be lazy. He limped and followed Ma Min'er across several fields before reaching the shade of a tree.

"It's actually you?" Feng Jiangyi was both aware of the fact and unexpected.

With a sullen face, Ma Chengzu looked at Feng Jiangyi who was dressed in shabby short brown, and frowned, "Is it interesting?"

"Yes, it's very interesting, do you want to try it?" Feng Jiangyi said as he untied the cloth bag at his waist, it was going to be full soon, and the weight was not light.

Ma Min'er took the cloth bag silently, put it on the flatbed cart that came from behind, and took it to the wheat field. Behind Feng Jiangyi, she waved her hand quietly, meaning to let Xia Zhen leave the shade of the tree and go to the field with her.

Xia Zhen glanced at the two old men, pulled her long legs, and walked to Ma Min'er.

"Standing is still standing, help me get some wheat handles!" Ma Min'er said.

Xia Zhen replied directly: "I won't."

"Brother Zhang, how could it be?"

"I do not want to do."

"Hmph, I know you're lazy."

Xia Zhen wanted to roll her eyes. If she doesn't help her, she's just lazy. What's the point? "When are you going home? I'm hungry."

"Are you hungry?"

"Ah."

Ma Min'er reached for the bag in her waist, took a piece of pot helmet, and tore a piece for him, "I'm hungry if I chew it."

"I want to go back." Xia Zhen lowered her head and whispered softly, her lips almost touched the little daughter-in-law's face, but fortunately there was a sunshade covering her.

As people came and went, Ma Min'er secretly reached out and slapped him, "I know you have no good intentions."

"I put all my bad thoughts on my daughter-in-law, that looks like Zhang Nianmei..."

Zhang Nianmei sneezed in the field, "Who said anything bad about me..."

Ma Min'er turned her head and stared like copper bells, and approached him.

The little daughter-in-law approached, Xia Zhen was overjoyed, and she didn't feel too hot, so she almost put her arms around her waist.

"Xia Zhen, if you want to marry me, let me tell you, you don't want to touch other women except me, do you understand?"

"..." Now it was Xia Zhen's turn to stare like copper bells.

"do you understand?"

"You mean, you can't have a concubine's room, you can't go shopping, and you are the only one in this life?"

"Yes, that's right." Ma Min'er nodded.

"That chapter is beautiful..."

"So, he can only be my brother, not my partner, do you understand?"

Xia Zhen blinked, isn't this the same as my mother?Dominate my dad all my life.

Seeing Xia Zhen in a daze, Ma Min'er snorted, "If you have any ideas, it's a good thing that we are now unmarried men and women, and there is still time for everything." After finishing speaking, she left angrily.

Uh... Xia Zhen thought in her heart, we didn't say we wanted to take a concubine to go shopping in the building, why is she so angry, she made me like Zhang Nianmei, I still find it annoying, didn't I just say something, this temper is still Quite big!

"Hey, old sister, why are you angry? Do you blame the little general for not greeting your grandfather?" Zhang Nianmei saw the old sister coming over with a huff.

"That's not it."

"what is that?"

"It's nothing, hurry up and get to work." Ma Min'er angrily hugged the wheat handles and piled them on the cart.

"He said he wasn't angry!" Zhang Nianmei clicked her tongue, why is that?Could it be that the little general asked her to go back, she was upset, hehe, others don't understand what the little general is thinking, but I know, I sneaked a glance at the helpless little general, and smiled awkwardly.

Feng Jiangyi and Ma Chengzu walked towards the deserted place beside the lotus pond, both of them looked at the verdant lotus leaves, which crowded together and covered the entire pond.

"The scenery is nice. I'll pick a few leaves and go back. I can even eat and enjoy them." Feng Jiangyi said as he walked to the pond and stretched out his hands for a few.

Looking at Feng Jiangyi, who was entertaining himself, Ma Chengzu couldn't help saying: "The new emperor sent someone here!"

"Be driven away by you." Feng Jiangyi turned his head and said with a smile.

"Hmm." Ma Chengzu lowered his eyes.

"Then why did you come to see me?" Feng Jiangyi stood up, looked at the lotus leaf in his hand and said, "I regret it, there is no place to relieve my depression?"

Ma Chengzu sneered and didn't reply.

Feng Jiangyi carried the long and big lotus leaf to his shoulders, "The sky is going to get dark, and the day's work is over, the old man is going back."

Ma Chengzu frowned, "What are you doing at my son's house?"

"His family has good feng shui, so I'm lucky."

"Why don't you help the new emperor in Beijing?" Ma Chengzu asked from behind.

"The late emperor doesn't need me anymore, why should I join in the fun?" Ma Chengzu turned his head and smiled.

"Impossible, the former emperor relied heavily on you, how could he not need it?" Ma Qifeng didn't believe this at all.

"Haha..." Feng Jiangyi raised his head and laughed loudly, "Don't tell me I'm going to leave after you have to drive me away?"

"You..." Ma Qifeng's face darkened.

"I didn't say what you mean." Feng Jiangyi said seriously, "No matter what the fate is, it will be there when it arrives, and it will be over when it's over. As for me, everything is according to fate." After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and went back in the sunset up.

Ma Chengzu looked at the busy field and stood there without speaking for a long time.

Being a farmer is hard, and being a farmer in ancient times is even harder. Relying on your hands for everything is really exhausting. Ma Miner dragged her leg, which was not her own, and stood at the head of the field, shouting, "Father, I'm back! "

Ma Qifeng doesn't know how to cut wheat. Like Ma Miner, he piles the bundled wheat on the flatbed cart and asks the hired workers to push it to the wheat field to pile up and thresh. When he sees his father coming, he thinks he is looking for him. I was looking for Master Jiang, and I didn't go back with Master Jiang, alas!Sighing, he picked up the towel around his neck and wiped his sweat.

"Father, hurry home and eat!"

"You and the little general go first."

Ma Min'er turned her head to look at Xia Zhen who was still waiting at the top of the field. Zhang Nianmei and his subordinates had already gone back first. Guzui looked at him angrily, "Yue'er, let's go home."

"Second sister, you can go with the little general, and I will go with dad." Mayue'er secretly stuck out her tongue, her future brother-in-law is not easy to mess with, so let's avoid him and go.

Although he didn't know how he offended his daughter-in-law and let her run away from him, Xia Zhen sighed and stepped forward, "Let's go."

The moon has slowly climbed up. Under the moonlight, Xia Zhen's smiling face seemed to melt into the moonlight, mysterious and charming, which made Ma Min'er's heart skip a beat unconsciously.

Oh, what happened to her old heart, she patted her heart, strode forward, Xia Zhen stepped forward, and when passing by the lotus pond, she asked, "Is this lotus pond newly opened?"

"It opened the year before last."

Xia Zhen had nothing to say: "Oh, the lotus grows very well, and my grandmother likes steamed chicken wrapped in lotus leaves."

"Then when you go back, I'll pick some leaves and bring them back to you." Ma Min'er said.

"My grandmother wants to see you, Min'er."

"Ah..." Ma Min'er paused, "You mean to bring me to meet my parents?"

"Yeah." Xia Zhen nodded.

"That you old..."

"Ancient what?"

"Oh, didn't you say that the matchmaker met you? Why did you take me to meet you?" Ma Min'er suddenly became nervous.

"Don't be nervous, just follow your opinion."

"I don't believe it." Ma Min'er walked forward.

"Really, I told my grandmother to prepare for our engagement. We will be engaged as soon as the national funeral is over. When do you think we will get married?"

"After the age of 20."

"Then...then I won't be an old man anymore." Xia Zhen stopped in her tracks, extremely aggrieved.

Ma Min'er turned her head to see his ignorant look, she was overjoyed, and ran forward.

It turned out that this little daughter-in-law was lying to me, and she went to the house to uncover the tiles after three days without a fight. Xia Zhen looked around and found that everyone had made a detour, and no one followed. She was relieved.

Little daughter-in-law, you wait for me, I want you to look good at night, so I quickly caught up with her.

Xiao Yue'er walked behind with his father, "Father, if my sister gets married, there will be only you and me in the family, how deserted."

"Your sister is still young, and there are at least two or three years before she can marry."

"That's too soon."

"Yes, it will be soon." Ma Qifeng sighed.

"Father, why are you sighing, you will have a companion next year, and I'm the only one with no pain or love."

"You..." Ma Qifeng was amused by the little daughter's words, "When your sister gets married, it will be your turn. How can you be loved by no one?"

Ma Yue'er said straight-forward: "I don't want to marry, look how fierce the little general is, if I marry such a person, I won't be scared to death all day long."

"Haha..." The depressed Ma Qifeng was amused by the little daughter's words.

When we got home, dinner was already on the table. Everyone washed up and sat down on the table to eat.

Overworked, everyone was very hungry, and the meal was eaten in silence, only the sound of planing rice was heard. After a while, the dishes on the table were swept away, and everyone let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Father, I'm going to take a shower and go to sleep."

"Oh, go."

Ma Min'er stretched out her hand, Xiao Yue'er stood up habitually, before she could send her hand to her sister, the little general had already stood up, and the big hand took the little meaty hand.

Ma Min'er, who was full and sleepy, was startled by the big hand, and immediately shrank back, dying, so many people, why are you holding hands, her face flushed with embarrassment, "Yue'er, what are you doing sitting, hurry up Take a bath and sleep upstairs."

"I... have another chat with dad." Xiao Yue'er thought to herself, don't you think I don't want to, but the little general is standing beside you, so I dare to move.

"What are you talking about, go to sleep quickly."

"Talk... let's talk about how many acres of wheat we harvested today."

Zhang Nianmei was secretly happy, but she didn't expect that the little general would not be enlightened. This enlightenment, he dared to hold hands in front of his father, which is really... bold, looked at the somewhat embarrassed little general, and grinned, "Uncle , Master Jiang, we also went to take a shower and go to sleep, you can do whatever you want!"

"You're welcome, little general, you've been tired all day, go and rest quickly."

Zhang Nianmei left with a few guards, while Xiaowen and Jing Mo stood behind Xia Zhen with their swords in their arms, waiting for Ma Miner.

I really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, so Ma Min'er bit the bullet and went upstairs first, Xia Zhen followed immediately like a dog's skin plaster.

Xiaowen sneaked a glance at Master Ma, only to see his helpless face, and thought, if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely scold him in a decent way, but now he doesn't even dare to say anything, hee hee, just find a son-in-law with a very high quality This is not good, you can't play the prestige of the old man.

If Ma Qifeng knew that Xiaowen thought so, he would definitely hold his hands, laughing and crying, little brother, you understand my mind too well, yes, I can’t even play my father-in-law’s prestige, it’s not bad What husband.

Feng Jiangyi squinted his eyes and smiled, stood up, this Ma family, there is no big or small, no dignity, and they all ran away before the old one got off the table first, ouch, why are you so interested in my appetite? Old man, the thing I hate the most in my life is etiquette, but I never thought I would lose to the Ma family.

"Master Ma, after taking a shower, do you want to go to the gazebo to enjoy the shade?"

"I've been tired all day, and I have to get up early tomorrow, I won't go, I'm going to bed."

"That's right, I still have to work tomorrow, forget it, I won't go either."

After going up to the second floor, Xia Zhen still followed, Ma Min'er urged, "Go to your room quickly, there is ready-made hot water in it, no need to prepare it."

"I know, the water is placed on the roof, and the shower will have water when you turn it. After taking a shower, you have to come out and find me." Xia Zhen waited for the daughter-in-law to answer.

"I'm exhausted, I need to sleep."

"If you don't come to me, I'll go to your room." Xia Zhen said directly.

"You... really convinced you, I see, I'll come to you." Ma Min'er waved her hand impatiently.

Xia Zhen suddenly leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice, "It's still under the loofah trellis yesterday." After speaking, she immediately retracted her head, turned and left happily.

Ma Min'er almost didn't come up in one breath, mother, this guy is still in hiding?

Why don't you go to Yin, otherwise, a 20-year-old young man is still normal, he handles the official documents quickly, rushes over with a horse, and stands shriveled in the dusk until it gets dark, you think he is idle!Isn't it because teenagers always want to be intimate.

Ma Min'er, who was tired and sleepy at first, was completely sleepless by Xia Zhen's words. She used to take a bath very quickly, but today she washed all the water in the water tank, and almost ran out of water to wash the bath beans on her body. Foam.

"Yeah..." Ma Min'er hurriedly washed the bath bean foam off her body with the last bit of water left, and went back to the bedroom, not wanting to change clothes and go out, but she knew that guy could really enter her room, pat Cheek, put on a dress and left the room, stood in the corridor to blow the air, and sure enough, as soon as he stood in front of the railing, that guy walked over from the other end.

Ma Min'er thought to herself, what kind of connected room corridor structure did I make, which made this guy feel like no one was in the land.

"Min'er..." Under the moonlight, Xia Zhen, who had washed her hair, only used the hosta hairpin to cover the front half of her hair, and the hair at the back was draped straight, and she was dressed in white muslin, making her look even more slender and tall, and because of the loose hair, there was no daytime The whole golden crown hair is so formal and majestic, and the whole person is much softer.

"Looking at me all the time, do you feel that my face has flesh?" Xia Zhen touched her face.

"En." This is true, Ma Min'er nodded.

"I've been sleeping well lately, eating well and feeling good."

Ma Miner smiled, "Let's go, let's go for a walk."

Xia Zhen happily reached out and took her hand.

Ma Min'er wanted to get rid of it, but he held it tightly and refused to let it go.

"A lot of people are watching?"

"What are you afraid of, I am a little general, who dares to say that."

"Believe it or not, I'll go back to my room right away?"

Xia Zhen pouted, feeling unhappy.

"If you want to hold it, it's in a place where no one is around. Brother Zhen, don't you think so?"

"Oh." Hearing that he could hold her hand, Xia Zhen let go.

The two went down the stairs one after the other and went for a walk. At the beginning, someone on the second floor saw them walking slowly, but after a while, they disappeared.

Zhang Nianmei knew it well, she stopped looking, sat down, took a palm leaf fan, "It made this general want to get married too."

"Then it's over, you're not too young anymore." Xiaowen pouted.

"Why don't you follow your master and make noise here."

"Follow when you should, and don't follow when you shouldn't, we understand." Xiaowen looked complacent.

"Hmph." Zhang Nianmei hummed, looking up at the moon.

On summer nights, there is no busy day, and the heat of the day has receded. There is a cool breeze. In the village, there are old people enjoying the cool air in twos and threes, and naughty children chasing the flickering fireflies. Views unique to the quiet countryside.

On the threshing floor, the busy adults finally put down their work and sat on the reed mats spread beside the grain. The tired children slowly snuggled up to their adults and fell asleep unconsciously.

The earthy smell of the tide rose from the crop field, and the sound of crickets sounded one after another.Listen carefully, and there is the sound of the river flowing slowly by the village.

The cool breeze blowing gently drove away the heat. In order to protect the food, many people did not go back to sleep. They used sticks to set up simple shelters, put a reed curtain on it to block the dew, and took their children to sleep. On the reed mat, fell into a deep sleep in tiredness.

Deep in the loofah vine, two summer insects hugged each other tightly, one tall and one short, one bowed and the other looked up. They had already entered the intoxicated space. Sticking a soft object, staring at the black eyes, there is a warm touch between the petals of the Chen, Chen is gently held, as the heartbeat of the opponent slowly speeds up, the tentacles catch the opponent's arm, catering to the opponent's Chen, Slowly becoming intoxicated, the tip of my heart seems to tremble along with it, like the swaying moonlight gently rippling.

After walking out of the loofah pergola, Xia Zhen still didn't want to sleep, "Call you Brother Zhen, Brother Zhen, can you please, I'm really sleepy, I'm going to sleep."

"How nice to walk, listen, there are frogs and cicadas, how beautiful!" Xia Zhen, who is golden and iron horse, became a poet in love, took the hand of the little daughter-in-law, and walked out of the courtyard Walked up the ridge path.

Old man Fu was taken aback by the energetic little general, "Is this kid not sleepy?"

Of course I’m not sleepy, Xia Zhen is extremely excited both mentally and emotionally, and I can’t wait to repeat the story of Xia Chong and the loofah rattan (the author took great risks to write a story about Xia Chong, I hope you can think about it carefully) Once again, it was not in vain for her effort, she raised her head and laughed, haha...).

Ma Min'er was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, she was led by Xia Zhen at first, and after walking for a while, she hung her hands on his arms, and after a while, she somehow got into his arms and was hugged by her, Probably felt it, and after opening his eyes, he was so tired that he fell asleep again.

Finally hugging the little daughter-in-law, Xia Zhen was satisfied, fearing that she would wake up from her deep sleep, she walked more steadily than in training, step by step, leisurely and indifferent.

The broad and strong chest is like a quiet port, only for a short while, the consciousness feels wrong, but the embrace is so comfortable, not only strength, but also a sense of security from the tight arms, Ma Miner's Consciousness soon disappeared, and he entered a sweet black dream.

Some people smiled, while others cried. Ling Ruya entered General Shao's mansion and became a concubine. After midnight, the man turned over contentedly and held her in his arms.

"I heard people say that your mother and Xia Zhen's mother are sisters?"

Already a grasshopper on a rope, Ling Ruya knew the pros and cons, and quickly said: "My mother is just a concubine."

"Oh." Shao Youliang asked, "What kind of official is your grandfather in Beijing?"

"I heard from my mother that it's all about the Ministry of Industry."

It turned out that he was a low-ranking sixth-rank Beijing official. Shao Youliang narrowed his eyes, and stroked his smooth shoulder with one hand, "I heard that you are very capable. There is no mistress in the mansion, and you will take care of all the general affairs for the time being."

"General...jun, isn't this inappropriate?" Ling Ruya didn't like this person, and she wasn't even interested in being the mistress.

Shao Youliang grinned, "There's nothing wrong with it, if you can give birth to a son, I'll straighten you up."

"General..." Ling Ruya gritted her teeth secretly, why didn't she just marry me as the wife and have a son, are all men so insidious?
When she woke up the next morning, Ma Min'er sat up in a jerk, thinking she was in Xia Zhen's arms, but found that she was on her own bed, she was so frightened that she beat her heart, and looked out the window, it seemed that it was getting late, so she hurriedly put on her clothes. Wash clothes and go downstairs.

Finding that everyone had just finished eating, luckily they were able to catch up, and smiled embarrassedly at everyone.

Shi Chunyue hurriedly served the breakfast she had left for her, "Little boss——"

"Thank you, Aunt Niu."

"Don't worry, everyone just finished eating."

"Oh, oh." Ma Min'er hurriedly sat down at the table to eat.

Xia Zhen stood in front of Ma Qifeng, "Uncle, my grandfather and father invited you and Min'er to the mansion for a light meal, when is it convenient for you?"

"This... this is too polite." Ma Qifeng was flattered.

"It should be."

"But now it's farmers..."

Xia Zhen said: "I know, I have already told my grandfather, he said to choose a date with uncle."

"Then... let's wait until after the busy farming season."

"Probably……"

"Around the eighth day of July."

"Okay, then I'll tell my grandfather!" Xia Zhen was polite and calm throughout the whole process.

A good and pleasing love affair made Xia Zhen grow up quickly, and she treated people well, not to mention compared with three years ago, but compared with three months ago, all of them have made a qualitative leap.

Ma Qifeng looked at the back of the group of people flying away, full of emotion, "I didn't expect this child to become so humble, it's really good."

Feng Jiangyi smiled and said, "I've heard about his violent reputation, and some bandits even came to me to ask for a formation to assassinate him."

Ma Min'er, who was walking in front, turned back in shock, "Master Jiang, do you dare to bring up such a thing?"

"What does it have to do with me? Others pay for it, and I give formations, but I don't kill people."

Ma Min'er raised her fist as if to kill, "Master Jiang, don't you have no principles?"

"Of course there is."

"The principle of keeping an eye on money?"

"Money? This old man has always regarded money as dung." Feng Jiangyi smiled indifferently.

"Then why did you teach the formation to those bandits?" Ma Min'er asked puzzled.

Feng Jiangyi replied: "Because their qi skills were not exhausted at that time, I had a chance with them, that's all."

"My God, your word 'Yuan' is really unbelievable."

"Min'er..." Ma Qifeng didn't know about the assassination, but when he was looking for his daughter afterwards, he was so frightened that he nearly lost his wits. Daughter is not very polite, he still made a sound.

"Haha..." Feng Jiangyi laughed loudly, "No defense, no defense, brother Jiang, don't be nervous, your daughter's eclectic temper is my reason."

"Come on, Mr. Jiang, let's not talk about fate, hurry up and go to work, if you don't work, you won't have food."

"Ha ha!"

At the junction of Qingzhou and Xiangzhou, a battle lasted for nearly ten days, and ended with Liu Zaili winning. He captured nearly [-] soldiers, including Turks and Xiangzhou soldiers.

General Liao Shijie of Xiangzhou did not expect that he would be carried under the hands of King Ning's youngest son instead of being carried by foreigners, and he would lose nearly ten thousand horses at once. He was so angry that he killed two school lieutenants on the spot.

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable..." He kept spinning in circles in the chief general's account.

The staff waited for him to stand still before they dared to walk to him, and gently reminded: "General, our situation is not good!"

"Of course I know it's not good!" Liao Shijie scolded.

"General, King Jin is to the west, Xia's family is to the east, nomads are to the north, and only the south..."

Liao Shijie was furious: "Of course I know that none of the three sides belong to the emperor."

"General, I mean, only the south is safe."

"What?" Liao Shijie's eyes widened, "You let me run away?"

"General, this is not the meaning of the small one, but to remind the general to preserve his strength."

"Preserve strength?"

After pacifying the Little General's Mansion, Mrs. Xia proposed to go back to the General's Mansion in Fucheng. The old general asked: "Why, you are not happy to see the eldest grandson here every day?"

"Of course I'm happy to see my eldest grandson, but when I see that woman, I'm full of anger."

The old general shook his head, "She and Tao'er haven't seen each other for ten years, but it's understandable to see her and stick together."

"Zian is actually my son, or her son. I'm here to prepare various things for the big wedding, but she's good enough to accompany Tao'er all day, either admiring the flowers or playing the piano, so that Tao'er doesn't care about anything."

Hearing this, Xia Shiyong also sighed, "I originally thought that Tao'er would follow me to get familiar with military affairs, but I didn't expect..."

"It was the same in those days. Tao'er was pampered all day long, and Tao'er was not allowed to do business. Tao'er had no intention of fighting. As a result, she disappeared for ten years..." Mrs. Xia couldn't help but shed tears.
