Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 132
After all, Mo Huaien is the magistrate of the county. Although the eldest daughter's wedding was held in a hurry and lacked in etiquette, no matter who it is, in the face of the magistrate of the county, he is always polite. The attendance that should be attended has declined the scene.

In the bride's room, Mrs. Liu didn't even enter, let alone say anything decent. Mrs. Wen did all the things that the young lady had to explain when she got married. Originally, she was too embarrassed to say more. I don't think I'm being rude, and I've told you everything I can say.

"In a word, don't worry, live a good life at the man's house, understand?"

Mo Wanyi had tears in her eyes, "Thank you Ma'am, Wan'er understands."

Mrs. Wen reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "If the Ma family bullies others, don't be afraid, come back to your father, if you have any embarrassment to speak directly to your father, you can talk to me, and I will tell you for you."

"Madam..." Mo Wanyi threw herself into Madam Wen's arms and cried, "Thank you Madam!"

"Good boy, don't cry!" The motherless child was really miserable, and Mrs. Wen was so emotional that she shed tears of sadness.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xi Niang quickly persuaded: "Mrs. Wen, don't cry, when the groom arrives, there will be no time to touch up the makeup."

"Xi Po is right." Mrs. Wen quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and helped the bride readjust her makeup.

In the front yard outside, the wedding banquet has already been held. Mo Huaien is really embarrassed to face his son-in-law who is about the same age as him. What can I do? My daughter will spend her whole life with him, so today she can only show good looks He patted him on the shoulder kindly, a little drunk, "Ma Liu, I will leave my daughter to you."

Yue Fu still couldn't say that sentence, "Master Mo, don't worry, I will treat her well."

"I hope you can say it and do it."

"Don't worry, my lord, it will be done."

"Okay, I'll trust you, come on, have a drink."

……

The wedding banquet is finally over, and it's the groom's turn to pick up the bride. Whether it's relatives, friends, or neighbors, they all gather around the gate of the courtyard to watch the groom pick up the bride.

In the crowd, people whispered, "Didn't you say that Mr. Mo's son-in-law is old? Why does he look so young?"

"I also heard how many children there are, but they seem to be as old as my 20-year-old eldest son."

"Is there a mistake?"

"No way, the bridegroom can be wrong?"

Someone probed, "I know a little bit."

"This big brother, come and listen."

The middle-aged man who was asked for information replied triumphantly: "This groom's previous status is incredible."

"How serious is it?"

"He is the son of the former emperor's teacher, and he came from the capital."

"Oh, let me tell you, it's no wonder that he looks noble and imposing. It turns out that he is a son from the capital. No wonder he is young."

"I heard that I'm in my thirties. Look, I'm also in my thirties, but I'm like an old man, and I'm like a young gentleman. I'm really rich and well-off."

"Tsk tsk, it really is rich and noble..."

With a red hijab on her head, Mo Wanyi was supported by someone, with a nervous heartbeat and a sudden flushed face, she walked towards her future step by step.

Xi Niang and Mrs. Wen both handed the bride's hand to the groom, "Mr. Ma Lang, I hope you will treat her till she grows old."

Ma Qifeng bowed his head and saluted, took the bride from the two hands with a slight smile, gently took her into the sedan chair with one hand, and slightly supported the handle of the sedan chair with the other hand, lest it bounce back and hit the bride.

Mrs. Wen stood aside and saw the groom's subtle movements, and nodded secretly. Although Aunt Mo married an older man, she was considerate at last, and it seemed that her future days would not be that bad.

Seeing that the bride had entered the sedan chair, Zhu Yiguan raised his head and shouted: "The sedan chair is up!"

Immediately, the Mamo family lit firecrackers one after another, and the sound of thunderbolt Penglong resounded through the streets. Adults and children began to grab the wedding money one after another. It was very lively.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Mo Wanyi lightly touched the hand held by the man, feeling extremely warm, finally married, and finally left that woman, her tense heart suddenly relaxed at that moment, full of joy Looking forward to the days to come.

Dozens of tables were opened in the courtyard of the Ma family, and everyone had already started to prepare for the evening banquet. The Ma family members came, including Ma Chengzu and his wife.

Ma Dalang has been nervously accompanying several uncles, especially the Fifth Uncle and Ninth Uncle who are at odds with his family, looking over him from time to time, cautiously.

Ma Yihui seemed to be in a good mood. Although there was no obvious smile on his face, he was not cold either. He sat beside Feng Jiangyi and his grandfather, listening to their conversation with his ears up, especially about topics like King Jin. Unfortunately, They didn't speak much, and he didn't listen enough.

He really wanted to open his mouth to ask, but in front of his grandfather, he didn't dare to make mistakes in the end. He didn't dare to ask. He secretly prayed that King Jin would ascend to the throne. Light, it will always be more convenient for him to act, because he has expectations, he is much calmer about the people and things he sees in his eyes!
For the evening banquet, Ma Min'er had already arranged almost everything, and she didn't appear in front of the crowd much. The outside affairs were all handled by shopkeeper Peng and Fu Xiaoyou, and the kitchen affairs were handled by shopkeeper Peng's wife. She sat in the Resting in the wing room, it's not that she wants to be lazy, but Aunt Shi said that, in terms of etiquette, she and Yue'er can't show up more, it's not in line with the etiquette.

Well, let's not do things that are not in line with etiquette, and I wish I could take a break.

The general's mansion sent a generous gift, and sent a senior steward over for a wedding banquet. The etiquette was in place. Zhang Nianmei and others also sent a gift in their own names, but because they followed the little general outside The fighters did not come in person.

Alas, she said she was not busy, but people kept coming to ask questions, and before she knew it, she was so busy that it was dark. Ma Yueer came in with a food box, "Second Sister, it's time for dinner."

"It's all dark?"

"Ah."

"God, Mrs. Shi asked me to sit in the room and not be busy, but it turned out that I was too busy."

Ma Yueer smiled, "Eat!"

"How is it outside?"

"The folks are going to make trouble in the bridal chamber."

Ma Min'er curled her lips, "If it wasn't for my father, I would go too."

Ma Yueer stared, "Second sister, stepmother, stepmother!"

Shrugged, "What's wrong with the stepmother!" Ma Min'er said, "She is alone, we are a family, if she dares to treat us badly, we can eat her."

"Wow, Second Sister, you want to eat people?"

"Hee hee, that's what I said." Ma Min'er sighed, "Since I agree with my father's marriage and hope that my father will have a better life in his next life, let's have a correct attitude and neither look at her with hostile eyes nor deliberately please her." , if there is a fate, the love will come naturally, if there is no fate, just treat her as my father's woman."

Ma Yueer nodded, "Second Sister, I understand."

"So take it easy and don't think of her as a man-eating tiger."

"Okay, Second Sister." Ma Yue'er smiled, feeling better from her nervousness.

As a second-married person, Ma Qifeng was really not in the mood to make trouble in the bridal chamber, and the villagers were very noisy, so he had no choice but to ask Father Shi for help, and just let the villagers make up their minds.

Seeing Da Dong’s eyes begging for help, Father Shi didn’t understand, the children were all taller than him, making people laugh at what kind of bridal chamber, so he hurriedly said that he would drive people away with a bluff, “Everyone has drunk too much. No, isn't Ma's wine delicious? Hurry up and go home to sober up, don't be ashamed here."

"Shi...Father Shi, why are you so disappointed? Usually, the big boss is a good guy, but today we have a chance to play tricks on him. You let the big boss fulfill our wish."

"Yes... yes... Shi... old..."

"It's all because of donkey urine and drinking too much, and Shi is... Hurry up and leave..." Father Shi stretched out his arms and pushed people away, "Let's go..."

"Dad..."

……

It took a lot of effort for Father Shi to drive away a group of stinky men, and there was a group of women at the door, "Father, I will leave after the bride takes off her hijab."

This is quite reasonable, old man Shi put his hands behind his back, "Old lady, I will leave this to you."

"Got it, you old man!" Aunt Shi was embarrassed, making her house seem special.

Seeing that the men were coaxed away, the bride smiled and went through the procedure of mortgaging the hijab, and guided the groom to lift off the bride's veil according to the ceremony.

"Wow, what a beautiful bride!"

"Mother, it's like a fairy."

"Well, that little face is as tender as water."

……

The country people are really intimidated by Mo Wanyi, but she is really a lady from the county grandfather's family, she is really beautiful, intelligent, dignified and virtuous.

Standing in the crowd, Guo Li's sour heart was completely stunned by the bride. Not to mention reincarnated in the next life, it is estimated that she will not have the appearance and behavior of this little lady in the next life. Where is Liu Lang-kun?
The voices of discussion outside the door finally gradually disappeared, and the inside of the new house finally returned to calm. Mo Wanyi sat on the side of the bed, lowered her head shyly, and remained motionless.

Ma Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief, as for why he was relieved, he didn't know, he took off the red silk flower on his clothes, and said: "Are you hungry, do you want to eat something?"

Mo Wanyi didn't look up, but shook her head slightly.

Seeing her shyness, Ma Qifeng thought for a while and said, "I'll ask someone to bring over some hot water. I'll go outside to take care of the guests first, and then come in after the guests have dispersed."

"Okay." Mo Wanyi finally raised her head and smiled at the careful man.

"Don't worry, this will be your home from now on. At home, you can do whatever you want." Ma Qifeng said softly.

Hearing such words, Mo Wanyi was very moved. As a woman, don't you just look forward to a destination when you dress up and marry a man?The man said a few simple words, but every sentence spoke to people's hearts, "Okay." She nodded again.

"Then I'll go to the front to accompany the guests." Ma Qifeng turned around and left the new house.

Qin Hong stood at the side of the corridor, saw that the gentleman had gone out, and gently pushed the door in, "Miss, how are you?"

"Very good." Mo Wanyi replied happily.

Qin Hong glanced at the table in the bridal chamber, "Did you drink the wine?"

"Drink it."

"That's good." Qin Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to ask her what she wanted to eat, the door was pushed open, and two women came in, "Madam, the boss asked us to bring you something to eat."

"Thank you very much." Mo Wanyi stood up, "What should I call you?" At this moment, there is no man in front of her, so she is not nervous anymore. As the eldest daughter of the county magistrate, she is an authentic lady of the family. That's something I've learned specially, and I'm generous and decent when I ask questions.

Shi Chunyue smiled and said, "Everyone calls me Aunt Niu."

"Aunt Niu, thank you for your hard work."

"Ma'am, you're welcome." Shi Chunyue said, "I'm a helper for Ma's family, and I'm in the kitchen. If Ma'am wants to eat, just ask me to cook."

"Okay, then I will trouble Aunt Niu."

Shi Chunyue said, "This is the wife of shopkeeper Peng in our shop. The owner is getting married, so she came to help."

"So that's the case, it's really hard for Mrs. Peng."

"Madam, you are welcome." Mrs. Peng said, "The soup is really hot, Madam, eat it while it is hot."

"Thank you both."

Shi Chunyue said, "The one standing behind you is your girl."

"Yes, Aunt Niu."

"It's like this. The big boss is drinking outside, and I don't know when I can come in. The little boss told me that the bathroom in our house is different from other places. Let me teach the people around you so that she Take care of you to wash up."

"That's really grateful." Mo Wanyi didn't expect a man's child to be so careful, and thanked happily.

Qin Hong hurriedly said, "Please, Aunt Niu, just call me Qin Hong."

"Qin Hong, then you come with me."

"it is good."

Seeing the two of them go in, Mrs. Peng laid out all the food in the food box, "Madam, please eat."

"Okay." Mo Wanyi was really hungry and sat down at the table.

Mrs. Peng said: "Then I'll wait outside for Aunt Niu. Ma'am, please feel free."

Mo Wanyi smiled, seeing her leave the room and reaching for chopsticks, she felt that everyone in the family was friendly, and when she wanted to eat, she automatically avoided the door, which was very considerate.

After a while, Shi Chunyue also came out of the bathroom, "Madam, take your time, I won't bother you, go out first."

Mo Wanyi nodded to her to express her gratitude, and Qin Hong followed her out and sent her out, "Thank you two aunts."

"Miss Qinhong, you are being polite, hurry up and go in to accompany your wife."

"it is good."

Qin Hong entered the door and walked to the side of the eldest lady, "Young master is quite careful, and he gave everything carefully."

Mo Wanyi lowered her head to eat contentedly.Qin Hong's heart that had been tense all the time was relieved, it seems that the Ma family is not bad.

As Ma Qifeng said, he returned to the bridal chamber very late. On the one hand, there was a reason for entertaining guests, and on the other hand, only he himself knew about it.

I don't know what happened to Dad's bridal chamber?We don't know about this kind of thing and we dare not ask, do we?The next day, when she woke up, this question popped up in Ma Miner's mind, and she felt it was funny.

Since they didn't live with their parents, the newlyweds didn't have the so-called invitation to the elders to drink tea or get red envelopes. Instead, it was Ma Min'er, brothers and sisters who offered tea to the bride sitting on the table.

Don't be awkward and don't know how to address this bride, who is not much older than them, and look at each other, embarrassed to step forward.

Ma Qifeng was sitting in the main seat, and he was also embarrassed, and he was too embarrassed to let his sons and daughters call their mothers, and sat in a numb manner.

After all, Ma Min'er is a 30-year-old adult at heart. She broke the dullness and said with a smile, "That...husband... can we call you Aunt Wan?"

"..." Aunt Mo Wan was also in embarrassment, when she suddenly heard someone talking, she raised her head, thinking to react, Aunt Wan?What do you mean?
Now that the first sentence has been uttered, the following words follow, "You are not much older than us, I think calling you mother or mother is calling you old, what do you think?"

Call... old!Isn't that true, Mo Wanyi thinks so too, but if you don't call her mother or mother, is it disrespectful to me, and besides, isn't this 'aunt' a concubine?
As if hearing her inner thoughts, the little lady spoke again, "Don't worry, you are the wife my father is marrying, and we will definitely respect you. Calling you 'aunt' means aunt."

My aunt is my mother's sister, and Mo Wanyi suddenly understood what it meant, and she seemed to be doing well, not only avoiding the embarrassment of calling her mother, but also getting closer, she smiled slightly.

Seeing that she was not angry, Ma Min'er even agreed with her, and quickly confirmed: "In order for everyone to be more casual in life, what do you think of calling you Aunt Wan?"

Mo Wanyi nodded, "Okay!"

Qin Hong stood anxiously by the side, feeling bad, but if these children who are about the same height as the big lady are called mothers... but the rules are that no matter how old the children are, or even older than stepmothers, they have to be called mothers, this is really true okay?

Not long after, Qin Hong didn't care about the title at all. Don't be too good for the eldest lady, she is also satisfied!
Ma Dalang and the others breathed a sigh of relief almost invisible, Shan Xiaodan saw some, and quickly served tea, Ma Dalang stepped forward, "Take auntie to drink tea!"

Mo Wanyi nodded, took a sip of the tea, Qin Hong took it, took a red envelope and put it on the tea tray.The children of the Ma family came forward to offer tea one by one in order, and the ceremony was over in a short time.

Ma Min'er said, "Father, take Aunt Wan to the restaurant for breakfast."

Ma Qifeng nodded, stood up, stood next to the new daughter-in-law, and led her to the restaurant for dinner.

Qin Hong found that there were not many servants in the Ma family. The master ate breakfast, except for the servant who brought the breakfast to the table. She seemed to do the rest of the porridge and chopsticks by herself. The chopsticks were gone, and the porridge bowl was served by the little lady. She served not only for the wife, but also for everyone.

And the little lady was distributing the salted duck eggs, one in front of each person, even the two sons were not idle, either helping to pull the chairs, or helping to put the side dishes on the table.The family does things for each other, and they eat together only after they have sat down.

Qin Hong felt a little awkward standing on the side, and quietly left the restaurant.

Just after leaving the house, a young maid came over, "You are sister Qinhong, right?"

"You are--"

"Everyone calls me Xiaodan, Sister Qinhong, everyone has eaten, so we can too, please come with me."

Qin Hong said, "We also brought a few little girls, two companions..."

"We all called, please come and have breakfast together."

Qin Hong followed the little girl, "You belong to Erniang..."

"Yes, follow Erniang when you go out, and generally don't follow at home, you can do everything."

"Oh." Qin Hong listened in her heart, and soon arrived at the small hall, where there were two big tables, everyone was seated, and she was waiting for her.

"Miss Qinhong, come over and have breakfast." Shi Chunyue reserved a seat next to her.

Qin Hong took a look, she seemed to be in a superior position, she nodded her head secretly, it wasn't that she wanted to put on airs, but she could tell by herself that the Ma family's attitude towards Madam was not bad and respectful.

After breakfast, Brother Ma Dalang went to study with Mrs. Jiang, and Ma Yueer followed the second sister.

Ma Min'er said to her father: "Father, you were tired all day yesterday, you and Aunt Wan went to sleep in the room, after resting, introduce the situation at home to her, don't let Aunt Wan's eyes dim. "

What Mo Wanyi heard focused on the previous sentence, 'return to the cage', mother, the little lady's family actually asked her father to sleep 'return to the cage', she blushed when she heard it.

Qin Hong listened to the latter sentence, on the one hand she was satisfied with the Ma family's way of doing things, on the other hand, she could see that the head of the family was Ma Erniang, Aunt Wu was right, she was a very capable little lady.

Ma Qifeng blushed when he heard his daughter's words, and stared at her quietly.

Ma Min'er secretly responded to Dad, meaning that you want to go there, marriage is tiring, this girl just let you rest.

Woo, Cheng Jing's daughter.

But getting married is really tiring. Ma Qifeng took his new wife back to his room. Rest is certain, but it is impossible to go to bed and sleep or "sleep in a cage".

Sitting in the small cabin, on the long chair with soft cushions, it is quite comfortable to sit on. Mo Wanyi saw the man leaning on the back of the chair, his gentle and gentle appearance was a little more lazy, Burnout, unknowingly staring blankly.

Ma Qifeng sat relaxed on the bench. The silent atmosphere in the room made him uncomfortable. Thinking of his daughter's words, he turned his head and bumped into the bright eyes of his new wife.

Probably because she didn't realize that she would turn her head, the new daughter-in-law's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head suddenly, her ears and cheeks were as red as blood.Ma Qifeng saw it and pursed his lips. They didn't have a bridal chamber yesterday.

"Marry me an old man, are you wronged?"

"Ah..." Mo Wanyi looked up vaguely.

"You deserve better."

Dazed, Mo Wanyi immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words, and shook her head, "No, I am not wronged, it is very good to marry you."

"I've wronged you." Ma Qifeng stretched out his hand, "Sit over here."

Mo Wanyi liked this man, she sat down next to him without shyness or hesitation, and wrapped her long-awaited arm around her thin back, "I can't give you a lot of wealth, little rich Ann, I can do it."

"I don't want to be rich, I just like to be rich when I get rich." Mo Wanyi looked up at the man.

Ma Qifeng looked down, "That's just right, let's live a good life."

"Well, let's live a good life." Mo Wanyi looked at the man brightly with affectionate eyes.

The face of the little daughter-in-law was in front of her eyes, she was young and beautiful, Ma Qifeng's eyes flickered, and she withdrew her arms, "Take a good rest, there are still many trivial things to do today, when I'm done, I'll tell you about the situation at home, And your girl and companion, you can think about how to arrange it, if you need my help, you can say it."

"Okay." Mo Wanyi was a little disappointed in the expectation.

"I'm going out." Ma Qifeng left the room.

Mo Wanyi stared at his back in a daze for a long time without moving.

Ma Miner, who was busy outside, saw her father come out, "Why don't you take a rest?"

"The house is a mess, waiting to be cleaned up."

"It's me!" Ma Min'er grinned and made a face at him.

"Be careful I beat you."

"Whee!"

Everyone in the Ma family was busy, except for the bride, Qin Hong took the girl to arrange the dowry of his wife, and put all the dowry in a special room, so the Ma family did not touch it.Qin Hong was very satisfied. After dinner, she went to Madam's room, "Madam, when we were arranging your dowry, we didn't interfere except Ma Erniang who sent a medicine spoon and asked if she could help."

Mo Wanyi was listless, "Oh."

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?" Qin Hong saw it.

"It's nothing."

"Uncle treats you badly?" Qin Hong asked nervously.

"No...no, don't make wild guesses."

"Then why are you so depressed?"

"Who said I'm out of spirit."

Qin Hong asked concerned: "I found out when I was having dinner just now, you didn't eat much, what's the matter, is there something that makes you unhappy?"

Mo Wanyi raised her eyes, "Don't guess wildly, it's nothing." Her tone was a bit aggressive, obviously suppressing her temper.

Qin Hong didn't say anything, but looked at her master inquiringly, what happened?

Mo Wanyi didn't know what happened, but she just wanted to lose her temper. She was suppressed by her stepmother for so long and suffered so much grievance. Inexplicably, she wanted to lose her temper, and she knew that her temper had occurred since she sat close to each other in the morning.

She was full of expectations, although she didn't know what she was expecting, but the other party didn't seem to respond, but she couldn't imagine what it would be like if the other party responded, she was just lost.

After loss, either depression, or want to lose your temper.

Ma Qifeng was about to go back to the room, stood outside the door, and heard the conversation in the room.

Mo Wanyi is a little girl and doesn't understand many things, but he is someone who has experienced it, and he understands where her listlessness comes from, so he lowered his head and went downstairs.

In the courtyard downstairs, Ma Erniang went back to her room from the kitchen, and met his father, "Hey, Dad, didn't you just say you went back to your room, why did you come out again?"

"I...I want to walk!"

"Let's go?" Ma Min'er subconsciously looked towards the second floor. His father had moved to his main courtyard area, and there was a distance between him and his children. He needed his private space.

"Ah."

Ma Miner is an adult, and has been father and daughter with Ma Qifeng for several years. She seems to understand his current state a little bit, and smiled slightly, "Father, look forward to the future!"

Ma Qifeng suddenly looked at his daughter.

"The time in the capital, Dad, let's recall it slowly when you get old. The time now belongs to Xiaowang Village."

"Min'er..." Ma Qifeng was depressed.

Ma Miner smiled and said, "Trust me, no one will blame you."

"Poor girl..."

"Father, she gave you the most intelligent and lovely children in the world, and lives deeply in your heart. I think she is satisfied!"

Ma Qifeng's eyes were bright.

"Father, let yourself go and give Aunt Wan some justice."

"Min'er, you can easily see through Dad's cowardice."

"It's not cowardice, it's love, Dad!"

Ma Qifeng lowered his head, "I'll go."

"Okay, it's cold, go back to your room early."

"kindness!"

Mo Wanyi came out of the special washroom of Ma's house, wearing a snow-white tunic and outer robe, standing under the oil lamp, staring at the oil lamp in a daze, do you want me to wait all night tonight?

The love and happiness she once thought were all her own wishful thinking, she felt a little ridiculous!
