Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 124

On the border of Qingzhou Prefecture, Liu Zaili asked, "My lord, Shao Youliang and Liao Shijie have fled back to the capital, and Xiangzhou Prefecture is in Xia Zhen's pocket. What are you going to do?"

"Zi Li, what do you think of me imitating King Zhao?"

Liu Zaili looked at King Jin, "It's impossible to pay."

Ma Min'er remembered that the last time she got sick, she was scared by Xia Zhen. It has been three years now, and she has never had a cold. For some reason, she developed a high fever on the day of the full moon.

Her little face was flushed red, and Shan Xiaodan was so frightened that she woke up everyone in the middle of the night.Ma Qifeng was even worse, so he almost cried to his father and mother: "Min'er, Miner..."

Xiao Yue'er wiped her tears and said, "Is there an autumn wind blowing by the lotus pond?"

"It's possible, let me feel the pulse." Feng Jiangyi stroked his beard and walked to the bed.

"Master Jiang, then hurry up and see what's wrong with Min'er!"

Feng Jiangyi placed two fingers on his pulse, stroked his beard and did not say a word for a long time.

Ma Qifeng was furious: "Master Jiang, how is Min'er?"

"Master, what's the matter with my second sister?" Ma Yue'er was also anxious to death.

Niu Dabao and his wife also watched eagerly, and Shi Chunyue even asked, "Is there something unclean by the pond?"

Feng Jiang Yi raised his eyes suddenly.Shi Chunyue shrank her head in fright.

Feng Jiangyi stood up, "I'll write a prescription, grab some medicine and cook it."

Fu Xiaoyou hurriedly said, "I'll go to the town to grab the medicine."

Feng Jiangyi nodded, walked to the room with both hands, suddenly stopped, turned his head, and scanned the room several times.

Ma Qifeng stood beside him, followed his gaze and glanced around, "Master, is there any problem?"

"There's nothing by the pond, but this room seems to be..."

"Master, do you mean there are unclean things?" Shan Xiaodan looked like he was about to toss the room.

Master Jiang withdrew his gaze, "Look for it."

"Oh, I'll be right there." Shan Xiaodan got the affirmation from his master, and immediately started looking for it, and finally found the dressing table, "Uncle Niu, brother, help me lift it, I'll see if there's anything in the cracks inside."

Niu Dabao and Shan Xiaoshan immediately lifted the dressing table. Shan Xiaodan was holding an oil lamp, and just squatting down, he saw a cloth figure at a glance, and took it out, "Big boss——"

Ma Qifeng's face turned pale, "Who is so vicious?"

Shan Xiaodan pursed her lips, "Erniang's room, only the two young ladies from the Ma family have been here during this time."

"..." Ma Qifeng stared and couldn't say a word.

Ma Min'er held up her hands, "Father, don't believe this. Autumn is here, and people are prone to get sick. In order to pick water chestnuts, I stayed by the lotus pond for a long time, probably because of the wind."

"Alas..." Ma Qifeng sighed, "Xiaoyou and Master went to get the prescription."

"Oh." Xiao You was taken aback, "Xiao Dan, give me this damn thing, I'll take it out and throw it away."

Shan Xiaodan gave the puppet to Fu Xiaoyou.Feng Jiangyi smiled, turned his head out of the room, and went to write the prescription.

"Everyone, go to bed. I'm fine. I'll be fine when I get sweaty." Ma Min'er said to everyone.

Shi Chunyue said, "Er Niang, then we will go downstairs and not disturb your rest."

"Well, I've been tired all day, everyone go to rest."

Everyone went downstairs, except Ma Yue'er, "Second Sister, I'll accompany you."

"Okay." Ma Min'er said, "Yue'er, pour me a glass of boiling water."

"Okay, second sister, wait for me."

This cold comes and goes so fast, so fast that Ma Min'er murmurs, the general cold cycle takes three to five days, is it really a villain, is this thing really so evil?
Ma Min'er didn't believe it, so after lunch the next day, when she went for a walk with Mrs. Jiang, she asked, "Is there really such a thing as a witch cup?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled at her: "Using your words, if you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you won't have it."

"I wanted to ask you, but Master replied like this, so it doesn't mean you didn't reply." Ma Min'er pouted.

"Haha..." Feng Jiangyi raised his head and laughed.

Three days before the full moon festival, Ma Min'er received a gift from Xia Mansion, and it was quite a lot, "Master Jiang, our two families haven't had a book yet, isn't this gift a bit early?"

"It's not surprising that there are many people, girl, don't think too much about it."

"Oh."

The Ma family also sent gifts for the full moon festival to Mo's house. This time, they still invited Mrs. Wen to go with them, and Ma Min'er waited in the shop while dealing with some things.

Sure enough, the business has slowed down a lot, and there is almost no income.Qiu Baiyan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, little boss."

"Shopkeeper Qiu, what are you sorry for? It's not your fault."

"Oh." Qiu Baiyan still sighed.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, it's okay. If you think it's too free, you can use this spare time to ask for a lady, so that you won't even have time to find a lady when you get so busy."

Qiu Baiyan almost choked on his saliva, "Little...Little Boss, you..."

"I'm telling the truth." Ma Min'er smiled, "You can really think about it."

Seeing a 13-year-old lady say such things to an adult in her early twenties, Qiu Baiyan really couldn't accept it, and smiled awkwardly: "Yes... let's talk when you have time."

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Ma Min'er didn't care. Fate came as soon as it was said, and she couldn't stop it, "It's getting late, I'll go out to see if my father is here."

Qiu Baiyan followed Ma Miner out of the office and escorted her to the door.

"I'm going for a stroll, you can go back." Ma Min'er waved to Qiu Baiyan.

"Okay, little boss!"

Qiu Baiyan turned and went back to his office. He just walked to the stairs, looked up, and found Guo Daping standing there at the skylight at the corner of the stairs, looking out, with a slight smile on his face, seeing what could make him Have a smile?
Qiu Baiyan immediately understood why he was smiling, shook his head secretly, stood at the stairs and deliberately coughed, Guo Daping quickly pretended to be casual when he heard the voice, and said, "I...I'm going to the toilet."

Qiu Baiyan smiled, and made way sideways.

It’s probably the full moon festival, and the street is very lively. Ma Min’er wanders among the crowd, squats down to pick up interesting stalls, and buys the ones that suit her eyes. It is a gadget worth dozens or even a few words.

Suddenly, I felt that someone was standing next to me. I looked up, but I didn't recognize him. I moved to the side, and after thinking about it, I stood up again, and gave up the position to someone else to buy something.

"Little lady, you don't know me?"

"You know me?" Ma Min'er was a little surprised, she looked at the beautiful and charming woman in front of her, she had never seen her before.

"Yes!"

Ma Miner frowned and thought hard, "I don't have any impression."

The beautiful woman said softly: "I remember you, you are the one rescued by General Xia."

Ma Miner remembered this reminder: "Oh, you are from Huayuelou..."

"Soft Moon!"

"You... how come you are calming down?"

Rou Yue said sadly: "The Huayue Tower was ordered by the government not to open. Some people went to the outer mansion with their mother, and some went to do other things. I begged my mother to let me go."

"So are you calm and settled down now?"

"I rented a small yard."

Ma Miner looked at her and asked, "Then what do you do for a living now?"

"I can sing ditties, and go to Pingding Restaurant to sell and sing for a living."

"Oh." Ma Min'er didn't know what to reply, a top girl in Hualou in Fucheng, she would live well no matter where she went.

What Rou Yue wanted to ask, she pursed her lips again, "May I call you Ma Erniang?"

"You want to call, of course you can."

"Ma Erniang, may I take the liberty to ask you, when will Little General Zhang..."

Ma Min'er didn't answer her.

"I'm sorry, I found out that you are her god-sister, so I wanted to ask you..."

Ma Miner shook her head, "To be honest, I don't know either."

"I understand, I'm sorry to bother you." Rou Yue walked away lonely holding the pipa.

Zhang Nianmei's peach blossom?Ma Miner let out a sigh.

On the other side of the street, Ma Yaner was patrolling her shop. Ma Rouer went shopping, passed by her shop, and joked with a smile: "Cousin Xuan, come to my house to play when you have time."

Ma Jian'er was annoyed when she saw her, "Has your father been looking for my husband recently?"

"My father is outside all day, I don't know about him, besides, you don't look at your husband, but ask my father, what's the reason?" Ma Rou'er is not a troublemaker.

Ma Jian'er curled her lips impatiently, just about to turn around and enter the accounting room, when she saw Ma Erniang across the street, her face darkened, she sent someone to inquire, and the little man with the needle was put in her room, it seemed that it had no effect on her , I felt unhappy for a while, and scolded the sorcerer like shit.

Suddenly meeting Ma Rou'er, she smiled, "Rou'er, did your family make an appointment for you?"

"Whether I care about your business or not?" Hearing about the marriage, Ma Rou'er felt as if she had thorns all over her body.

Ma Jian'er raised her eyebrows slightly: "I also care about you with good intentions."

Ma Rou'er smirked and said, "That's thanks to my cousin for her concern, no need."

"I heard that the Mid-Yuan Festival is coming soon, so the little general from the General's Mansion will definitely come to Ma's house. If he can get involved, even if he is a concubine, he will have endless glory and wealth."

Ma Rou'er raised her eyelids: "I dare not climb such a high family status."

"Then what's the matter, we used to be members of the Emperor's family in Jingli?"

Ma Rou'er was silenced by her words, and suddenly straightened her neck, "Go ahead, I'm going back."

"There's a new batch of bath beans in the shop, I'll get some for you to take home and take a bath."

Ma Rou'er stopped.

"It's from Dongyi, it's delicious." Ma Jian'er said casually: "I saw Ma Erniang just now, wearing a light green skirt, tied with a piping belt, and her small waist is tight. It's so charming that I can't grasp it, no wonder the little general's eyes are always fixed on her."

Ma Rou'er followed Ma Jian'er's eyes and looked across the street. Ma Erniang didn't know who she was talking to, and she stood there calmly, like a happy orchid.

Ma Jian'er said again: "The clothes on her are really good. Several embroidery workshops have imitated them. I'm going to buy one tomorrow."

Ma Rou'er looked away and looked at Ma Jian'er again.

"On the full moon festival, we all have to go back to our grandfather's place, maybe we will have the chance to meet the little general." Ma Jian'er dragged meaningfully.

Ma Rou'er went from resisting to being silent.Ma Jian'er secretly smiled triumphantly.

Xia Zhen made arrangements for the border affairs, and rushed back to Chaopingding non-stop. While rushing, he was also dealing with various affairs. A horse chased him from behind, "I am reporting to the general, Zhao and Liao have escaped from Yizhou. Our people have not escaped." catch up."

"Follow up, even in the capital."

"Yes, little general!"

Another horse came chasing after him, "Let me tell you, little general, I didn't notice any changes in the king of Qin."

"Pay close attention to the movement of the other party, and tell Gu Dun not to be careless."

"Yes, little general!"

……

In a certain county in a certain prefecture in the Great Wei Dynasty, the injured Ling Qianyan passed away with a high fever because he did not receive timely medical treatment. Ling Ruya's mother and son were crying to death. up.

"Mother, is this the general you defected to?"

"Ya'er, can mother be blamed for this? This is the person your father wants to go to!"

Ling Ruya looked up to the sky and sneered, "I really live worse than a dog!"

"Ya'er, Ya'er, what should we do now, what should we do?"

"What should I do? Of course, I will send my father to the temple for salvation, and then I will be a scholar." Sure enough, I have stayed in the mansion, and I have made a decision at critical times.

"Ya'er... Ya'er, what should we do with only us two women?"

Ling Ruya sighed, "I can only sell the bracelet."

Hearing the sale, Mother Ling felt sad and lay on the dead man, "Qianyan...why is my life so hard...why did you leave just like that!"

……

In the backyard of Mo Mansion, Qin Hong has been standing beside Mo Wanyi, constantly urging: "Miss, I have eaten lunch and afternoon tea, they should be going back soon, you should hurry up and wait at the Moon Cave Gate Here, take a sneak peek."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mo Wanyi was embroidering handkerchiefs with her head down, and she was looking at a round fan on the table beside her. She embroidered it according to the orchids on the round fan. A few branches and leaves, three or two orchids, fresh and elegant, It's refreshing to see.

"Miss, don't think I don't know, you've been looking forward to the full moon festival for a long time!"

"I'm looking forward to what's the big deal."

"Miss, you are looking forward to the festival, don't you just want to see that Mr. Ma's family?"

"Damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Okay, okay, I don't talk nonsense, I'm just curious if it's okay, can you accompany me to see if it's okay, ma'am?" Qin Hong said mischievously.

It's almost time, Ma Qifeng raised his hand to bid farewell to Master Mo, "My lord, then I will go back first."

"Hmm!" Mo Huaien picked up the teacup, and slid the lid signically, as a way to see off the guests.

Liu's butt didn't move.Mo Huaien coughed.Liu still couldn't think about it.

Mo Huaien glares over quietly, and looks at Mrs. Wen, meaning, your child is in the hands of a man, don't you dare to get up to see off the guests?

Repressing her temper, Liu stood up and said with a smirk, "Mrs. Wen, please sit down."

"No, thank you Madam for your hospitality. It's getting late, so we're leaving."

Mrs. Liu sent people to the entrance of the main hall and then turned around. Only the butler of the Mo Mansion sent the guests to the door. When passing by the screen wall, the corridor on the left led to the garden, separated by the moon gate.

Ma Qifeng followed Mrs. Wen, and Fu Xiaoyou followed Dadong's. When he turned around the screen wall, he heard someone talking, and subconsciously looked towards the voice. One of them raised his arm, "Look at it!" The arm retracted vigorously.

For some reason, Ma Qifeng immediately understood who was blocked by the moon cave gate, and lowered his head and smiled.

"Ah, ma'am, Mr. Ma Lang laughed!" Qin Hongya cried out in a low voice.

Uh... Ma Qifeng was embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly raised his face and moved forward. Mrs. Wen also heard the small voice, and turned her head. She still knew Qin Hong and smiled at her.

Qin Hong quickly came over to salute, "Ma'am—"

"Where's your eldest lady?"

"Uh...my eldest lady..." Qin Hong glanced at Master Ma Liu, "she...she didn't come."

Mrs. Wen glanced at the corner of the dress exposed by the door of the moon cave, she really wanted to laugh, but she didn't expose their master and servant, nodded to the girl, turned and left.

Ma Qifeng stepped up and followed Mrs. Wen without looking sideways.

On the other hand, Fu Xiaoyou turned his head and took a few sneaky glances. He still only had a corner of his dress, and just like his master, he secretly smiled and left.

Seeing them leaving, Qin Hong stomped her feet and asked, "Mistress, have you seen Mr. Ma Lang?"

Mo Wanyi blushed and did not answer the girl's words, she turned around and walked towards her own yard, thinking about the smile she saw just now, it was so dazzling, she almost tripped and fell while walking.

"Miss, be careful!"

Mo Wanyi's face turned even redder.

The day before the full moon festival, Ma Dalang Ma Yichu also came back from Fucheng, full of dust.

"Brother, why is there a holiday this year? I don't remember last year!" Ma Min'er was both happy and puzzled.

Ma Dalang replied, "I heard from the master that there are many places where wars are fought outside this year, and there are also wars near the capital of Yizhou. The college has been on vacation for a while."

"What, let it go for a while?"

"Yeah." Ma Dalang replied, "Master said, wait for Tong to know before going to school."

Ma Min'er looked at Feng Jiangyi, "Master Jiang, is the situation outside so severe?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded, "Yes! I heard that in the land of Wuyue, King Zhao is about to establish himself as king."

"Didn't the new emperor send someone to suppress it?"

"Of course." Feng Jiangyi said: "I heard that his harem is pouring out, I'm afraid he can't handle it."

Ma Min'er pouted: "It's been hard for him to be the emperor!"

"Hard work?" Feng Jiang Rabbit laughed, "Yes, yes, yes, it is very hard work. There are princes in the north and south, alien races in the border, and the harem is full. He is the emperor..." At the end, he could only smile wryly. .

Ma Min'er looked at Mrs. Jiang, whose expression was unpredictable, and always felt that he knew something?Could he really count the secret?
When Ma Qifeng saw that his sons and daughters had returned, he couldn't close his mouth with joy, "Dalang, hurry up and go to your grandfather's place with your father to salute, and tell him that you are back, old man."

"Oh." Ma Dalang was not in high spirits. It was no problem to meet his grandfather, but he always felt uncomfortable when he met his eldest brother Ma Yihui.

"Min'er, you come over too, and meet grandfather together."

"Oh." Ma Min'er said, "Father, let's go after lunch."

Feng Jiangyi saw through Ma Miner's careful thinking, and said: "If I want to keep you for dinner, I will always stay no matter at noon or at night. If I don't want to stay, I won't stay no matter what time it is before dinner."

Ma Qifeng's excited heart suddenly stopped.

Ma Min'er grinned, and stole a glance at Old Man Jiang, implying who told you to tell the truth.

Feng Jiangyi smiled and said, "However, in my opinion, Er Niang, you may not be able to realize your wish to stay at your grandfather's house for dinner."

"Ah..." Now it was Ma Min'er's turn to be surprised, "Why?"

"How does this old man know? If you want to ask, you also ask your grandfather!"

"Uh..." Ma Min'er looked at her father who was happy again, and sighed helplessly, "I wouldn't ask."

At this moment, Father Fu actually brought someone in, "Big Boss, the butler of the Ma's house in town is here."

"Uh..." The Ma family all looked at Butler Ding as if they were looking at a monster.

Butler Ding cupped his hands, "Master Liu, Madam asked me to tell you that I will go to Ma Zhai for a reunion dinner tomorrow."

"Thank you, Uncle Ding, our family will definitely go."

Butler Ding smiled, and cupped his hands again, "Master Jiang, our old man invites you to have a light meal together."

Feng Jiangyi raised his eyebrows knowingly, "Thank you, Mrs. Ma."

"Master Jiang, please be polite." Steward Ding said, "It's nothing, the younger one will go back first."

Ma Qifeng said happily, "I'll see off Uncle Ding."

Nothing made Ma Qifeng happier than being recognized, he happily sent Steward Ding out.

"Min'er, I'll listen to you and go see your grandfather in the afternoon."

"Oh." Ma Min'er smiled at Ma Dalang and the others.

Butler Ding had just turned onto the path when he met several galloping horses, and hurriedly avoided the side of the road. When the horses passed by, he saw the little general from General Zhen Guo's mansion sitting on the horse.

"The little general is here?" Steward Ding said to himself.

In the courtyard of Ma's house, Shan Xiaodan came over to ask everyone to have lunch.

Ma Min'er smiled, "Sanlang, hurry up and eat. After eating, let's go to the lotus pond to pick water chestnuts for the moon tomorrow night."

"Okay, I like playing on the little tip the most."

"Cut, be careful of falling into the water, the autumn water is very cold."

"I won't?"

"you……"

Before Ma Min'er finished speaking, she heard the sound of the copper ring on the door being knocked, "Who is it?"

While speaking, Father Fu had already opened the door.

"Xia Zhen—" Ma Min'er ran over in surprise.

The dusty Xia Zhen didn't take off his battle robe, and stood at the gate. The sun was shining at noon, and it shone straight down, making him descend like a god. It's like someone's noble son, who makes people's hearts flutter, but doesn't allow others to think about it.

"Xia Zhen——" Ma Min'er ran up to him in one breath, "Why are you back!" The excitement and joy in her voice couldn't be stopped.

Xia Zhen lowered her eyes and smiled, the sharp facial lines softened instantly, "Come back for the full moon festival."

"Oh..." Ma Min'er looked him up and down happily, "It's just about to have lunch, so hurry up and change your clothes!" Familiar ones are like relatives.

"Okay." Xia Zhen resisted the urge to touch the top of her head, stepped forward, and saluted Ma Qifeng, "Uncle——"

"Good boy, don't be polite, hurry up and wash up and come over for lunch."

Xia Zhen nodded and smiled, then bowed to Feng Jiangyi beside him, "Master Jiang."

Feng Jiangyi clapped his hands back, "Little General is tired all the way, hurry up and wash up."

Xia Zhen nodded again, turned to look at the little daughter-in-law, and then strode towards her guest room.

Turning her head around, Ma Min'er understood, "Father...you...Father go eat first, I'll go and see where I put the little general's robe last time."

It can be put there, not in his room. Everyone knows it well, and smiled, "Well, you go, so that the little general won't find it."

Ma Miner trotted and followed.

Ma Yue'er secretly said to her father, "People in the village say that girls are outward, and it's true."

Ma Qifeng was amused by the youngest daughter's words, "You think you won't be in the future."

"Hee hee." Ma Yue'er made a grimace, "I'm not as anxious as Second Sister!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed and walked towards the restaurant.

With a pair of long legs, he arrived at his guest room in a few steps. Xiaowen quickly helped his master take off his battle robe, and asked while taking off, "Young master, when will you return to the general's mansion."

"I'll be back after lunch."

"Oh." Xiaowen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's not easy to think of going back after seeing his daughter-in-law!
Ma Min'er didn't even catch up with Xia Zhen in a trot, but she wasn't angry either. The normal shirt probably weighs dozens of kilograms, so he must be in a hurry to take off the shirt.

Sure enough, when she climbed the stairs to the door of the guest room, Xia Zhen had already taken off her battle robe, leaving only her middle coat.

Xia Zhen was about to take a bath, but she didn't wear a coat. When she saw the little daughter-in-law at the door, she smiled and said, "Come in."

"You put on your robe."

Xia Zhen lowered her head, "I didn't reveal anything!"

Damn!Ma Min'er covered her face, it has something to do with Lu, this is basic etiquette, okay?

Xiaowen has tactfully exited the guest room, leaving only the young couple inside and outside the room.

"Cover your face? I haven't seen you for three months. Have you learned to be shy?"

Ma Min'er put down her hands, and stared coquettishly, "The robe you left before is in the closet, quickly take it in and take a shower, everyone is waiting for you, uncle, to serve dinner."

Xia Zhen bared her teeth and smiled, took a few steps forward, stretched out her long arms, and pulled the little daughter-in-law into her arms, closed the door, bowed her head and kissed her.

Three months, how can the pain of lovesickness be relieved, only at this moment, about [-] words will be omitted below.

Haha ...

After six hundred words, Ma Min'er felt her face was hotter than a fever, and her heart was beating like a snare drum. She was not awake, but her hands pushed Xia Zhen, "You...you hurry to take a shower, you smell bad. "

"This is masculine." Xia Zhen's eyes were shining brightly, with a feeling of unsatisfactory meaning.

Damn, there are human eyes here, it's clearly a hungry wolf, Ma Miner ran to the closet, opened the door with her hand, tore a piece of clothing inside and threw it to him, "Hurry— —” After speaking, the man ran out.

Xia Zhen took the robe and went to take a bath contentedly.

Ma Min'er left the room, but did not go downstairs, she stood in the corridor waiting for someone, Xiaowen came out from nowhere, "Er Niang—"

A sudden sound made her jump, "What's the matter?"

"Young master, he's finished washing."

Ma Min'er's face became hot again, and she thought, this boy did it on purpose.

Jing Mo stood aside with his sword in his arms, with a straight and indifferent face. Hearing Xiaowen's questioning, he finally succeeded, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha..."

"What are you laughing at?" Xiaowen turned his head and looked unhappy, "Er Niang is now a son and daughter-in-law, so it's normal for him to take a bath."

"..." Ma Min'er stretched out her foot and kicked it, "Who will help him take a bath, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Haha..." Jing Mo changed from laughing to laughing out loud.

"Then...then what were you doing just now, you didn't hear any sound while chatting." Xiaowen asked puzzled.

"You..." Ma Min'er lay down on the railing directly, oh my god, it's so embarrassing.
