Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 192

At sishizheng (10 o'clock in the morning), the carriage of Beijun Prince's Mansion finally arrived at the gate of Ma's courtyard. At this time, Ma Qifeng led his family and was waiting at the gate. Seeing his daughter getting off the carriage, everyone smiled happily.

"Second sister-"

"I'm going to be called Wangfei." Mo Wanyi reminded with a smile.

"No, I will call you Second Sister."

Mo Wanyi smiled and said nothing.

"Father, Aunt Wan..." Ma Min'er immediately stepped forward to salute her parents.

"Min'er..." Ma Qifeng grinned.

"Father—" Xia Zhen changed her words.

Ma Qifeng didn't expect Xia Zhen to call that, and was taken aback for a moment.

"Father, your son-in-law is calling you." Ma Miner hit the surprised father.

"Good boy, good boy..." Ma Qifeng was full of emotions for a moment. He was born in a powerful family, but he was humbled by the powerful. He could understand the meaning of a very high-status son-in-law calling him "Father". It was because he was famous, or because the other party loved his daughter very much, otherwise it was impossible to call him out. In his case, it was of course the latter.

Xia Zhen smiled, watching the little daughter-in-law holding his father's arm and entering the courtyard, "Father, do you miss me?"

"Of course." Ma Qifeng glared at her.

"Hee hee..." Ma Min'er smiled contentedly, "Be careful that Xiao Wu is jealous."

"How can he understand at such a young age? You are talking nonsense."

"Haha, Dad saw through."

……

The father and daughter bickered all the way to the main hall, "Hey, why are you here?" Ma Min'er looked at the King of Luoyang who was sitting on the main seat in surprise.

"Why can't I be here!" Liu Zaicheng didn't even get up when Xia Zhen came in, looking lazy.

Ma Min'er looked at Xia Zhen, implying that you will solve it.

With a faint smile on her face, Xia Zhen walked up to him and kicked him.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Liu Zaicheng called out.

"Sit somewhere else." Xia Zhen glanced at him calmly.

"I'm the king of the clan and county, a little bit taller than you." Liu Zaicheng stretched out his hand and gestured.

Xia Zhen rolled his eyes, "I won't talk about rank with you, this is my Lord Yueshan's seat, if you want to have lunch here, just sit on the side obediently."

"According to seniority, I'll listen to you." Liu Zaicheng stood up giggling, and sat down in the first seat on the lower left, which should have been Xia Zhen's.

If it was someone else, Xia Zhen might care about it, but this guy is a well-known playboy in Beijing, he didn't want to be as knowledgeable as him, so he sat in the upper right seat.

Ma Min'er said to the men in the main hall: "Let's talk about homework, my sister and I will go to see the banquet."

Xia Zhen nodded.

Ma Dalang and Ma Sanlang actually want to go out with Ma Miner, but they are men, so they can only entertain the two county kings.The few men sitting in the main hall really didn't know what to say, they were not in the same class, and they didn't know what to talk about.

Liu Zaicheng moved his buttocks: "Xia Zian, I heard that you have [-] people in the suburbs of Beijing, can I go and play?"

"There are many imperial guards in the capital, you can go there to play."

"Yehee, don't be so stingy, the imperial forest army is interesting to have your army, will you let it go?"

Xia Zhen lowered her head to drink tea.

Seeing that he was silent, Liu Zaicheng said, "Understood, if you don't agree, you won't, it's really stingy." He was so angry that he slapped his feet on the ground several times.

Ma Min'er, her younger sister, and Mo Wanyi went to the restaurant and told them about her situation in Xia's house, "Anyway, don't worry, and tell Dad to let him rest assured that everything will be fine. It's all good."

Ma Yue'er said: "Second Sister, I'm not worried about you, in my eyes, no matter how bad the day is, you can live a happy life."

"Haha, you have so much confidence in Second Sister."

"Of course." Ma Yue'er said, "It's just that Dad thinks about this and that, always worrying indiscriminately."

Ma Miner patted the little girl on the shoulder, "When you become a parent on that day, you will know that no matter how good your life is, your parents will still worry about it. This is their love for their children."

"Oh." Mayue'er smiled.

Mo Wanyi said: "Er Niang is really sensible, my husband must be very happy when he hears your words."

"Auntie Wan has worked hard during this time." Ma Min'er thanked her sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get married so easily and easily."

"Er Niang, you're welcome. I'm just doing something ready-made. The housekeepers and mother-in-law are all trained by you. If you want to say thank you, it's me too."

"Aunt Wan, thank you!" Ma Min'er looked at the young woman in front of her. She was not bad in status, and she was in the Mood for Love. Marrying a middle-aged uncle like Daddy really felt wronged. She should respect her.

"I'm satisfied with Er Niang's words." Mo Wanyi said, "You two sisters talk again, and I'll go and see the return gift for us this afternoon."

"Okay, Aunt Wan."

Both Xia and Ma's families have a simple population, so this homecoming feast is also simple and honest. After lunch, we eat and chat with our parents, and soon it will be an auspicious time to go home.

Although it's only been a few days, Fu Xiaoyou feels like he hasn't seen Shan Xiaodan for a long time, so he drags her to a secluded place in the corridor, "It's really inconvenient to see you in the future."

Shan Xiaodan blushed, and looked out of the corridor, "It's getting late, I have to go back to Young Madam."

"We've only had a few words."

"Meeting and talking, you still think it's too little." Qiuyang shines down from the eaves of the corridor, and shines on the thin and slender single, making her soft and charming in an instant.

"Xiao Dan, why are you so thin?" Fu Xiaoyou couldn't help but took her hand and touched her fleshless hand, "Take care of the young lady, and take care of yourself as well."

"I know." Shan Xiaodan wanted to take her hand away, but Xiaoyou held her tightly, her face turned even redder.

Fu Xiaoyou, who is one year older than Xiaodong’s family, is already 17 years old, and he is at the age of shaving. He is said to be thin, but he is not much better. Puberty has come, and a small beard has appeared on his lips. It is not time to shave. , a little young, but because he often travels here and there with Ma Min'er, he has extraordinary experience, and there is a solid bond in the young, and he has a proper manner of managing things.

He thought for a while and said, "Eat more and rest more, don't lose yourself."

"Ok, I know."

Fu Xiaoyou pursed her lips and said, "When the time comes, I will propose marriage to Er Niang."

Shan Xiaodan was startled, "Why are you in such a hurry."

"I'm not in a hurry, I said the time has come."

"Oh." Shan Xiaodan turned her head in embarrassment.

Fu Xiaoyou looked at his sweetheart's blushing face, his heart was itchy, as if a feather had swung around, but he didn't know what he was going to do, so he just smiled foolishly.

Taking advantage of his inattention, Shan Xiaodan withdrew his hand, "I'm going back, I'm going out, be careful, don't rely on your temper to do things, this is the capital, if you can't solve it, send someone to find Xiaodong."

"Well, I see."

Shan Xiaodan turned and walked out of the corridor.

Fu Xiaoyou seemed to think of something, and quickly took out a scarf bag from her bosom, and stuffed it into her hand.

"what?"

"Go back and watch, you will know." Fu Xiaoyou grinned.

Shan Xiaodan looked up at him carefully, with affection in his youth, "Then take good care of yourself." After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of the corridor with some reluctance.

When the lady on duty saw Shan Xiaodan, she quickly said to her, "Miss Shan, the auspicious time has come, and it's time for the young lady to go back."

Shan Xiaodan nodded, "Yes, I see!" After speaking, he entered the small living room of Ma's house.

In the living room, Xia Zhen sat at the main seat, with one arm leaning on the small table next to her, she turned her head slightly, looked at Yan Xiao's little daughter-in-law, and followed her with her eyes.

Ma Min'er and her brothers and sisters were talking about their parents, and they were planning to go there to play after the full month of marriage. The small mouth almost never stopped. Whenever she said something, Liu Zaicheng would always intervene, "Look! Me, I am familiar with that place, I will take you there, and keep you from being slaughtered."

"I don't believe it. I guess you are the one who got slaughtered."

"Whoever dares to kill me, see if I don't kill him."

"Hmph, you think someone else is out to kill you!" Ma Min'er gave you a childish look, "Ignore him, let's go by ourselves, so that we can eat authentic food."

When Liu Zaicheng saw that they didn't bring him, he was so angry that his buttocks moved on the stool, which was simply ADHD.

Shan Xiaodan approached Ma Min'er: "Young Madam, the auspicious time has come."

"So fast!" Ma Miner exclaimed with emotion.

Shan Xiaodan smiled at her without saying a word.

Whenever Shan Xiaodan behaved like this, Ma Min'er knew that she had to go back, and there was no need to discuss it, so she had to stand up, "Father, Aunt Wan, we are going back."

Ma Qifeng and Mo Wanyi quickly got up to see them off, "Slow down on the road and be careful."

"Oh, I see."

Seeing Liu Zaicheng sitting still, Ma Min'er said, "Little prince, it's already evening, aren't you going home?"

Liu Zaicheng really wanted to say that Grandpa just won't go home, and he will go to the restaurant to drink with his buddies later in the day, but he didn't say it out, think about it, stand up, "Yeah, I have to go home too. "After finishing speaking, walk towards the door.

Ma Min'er glanced at her family and laughed, "Father, I'm leaving."

"We'll send you off."

Reluctantly, the Ma family sent Xia Zhen and his wife to the door, waving and waving until they disappeared around the corner.

"Oh, stay in the girls' college." Ma Qifeng said goodbye.

Ma Xiaowu stretched out his fingers and pointed into the distance: "Ah... sister... ah..."

"Hey, Xiao Wu will call me sister?" Ma Yueer exclaimed happily.

"Yes!" Ma Sanlang was dragged back by his younger brother with a somewhat frustrated expression, and hurriedly shouted: "Call me...quickly call me..."

"Brother... ah... ah..."

"Haha, someone calls me brother!" Ma Sanlang happily rolled his head, causing Ma Xiaowu to clap his hands, "Brother...ah...brother..."

"Father, listen, Xiao Wu called me."

"You skinny monkey, hurry up and straighten up, don't teach my brother badly."

"No way." Masanlang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

The disappointment of sending her daughter was diluted by Ma Xiaowu, and the Ma family started a simple and ordinary life again.

After Ma Min'er returned to the Prince's Mansion, had dinner and was about to take a good rest, she was stopped by Mrs. Xia, "Er Niang—"

"grandmother--"

"Come to grandma later."

"Okay." Seeing that Mrs. Xia was a little serious, Ma Min'er glanced at Xia Zhen uneasily.

Xia Zhen immediately understood why her grandmother called her little daughter-in-law, and smiled at her comfortingly, don't worry, it's okay!

Xia Zetao seemed to understand why his mother was called Erniang. He glanced at his wife and saw her lower her head and pick her fingers, as if she didn't see her mother looking for her daughter-in-law.

Ma Min'er could vaguely guess why the old lady called herself, but when she heard it, she couldn't help being a little surprised, "Grandma...grandmother, I've only been married for three days, no...it's not very good."

Mrs. Xia sighed deeply: "Er Niang, our Xia family is different from other families. Other families have many children, and they often fight to the death for who is the mistress. In our family, no one can be the mistress, so we have to let You, who just married in, shoulder the burden."

Ma Min'er couldn't answer those words, so she smiled awkwardly.

"Er Niang, grandma is getting old, this family depends on you."

"Grandma, you are young and healthy..."

Mrs. Xia reached out her hand to stop Ma Min'er's polite words, "We, grandparents and grandchildren, don't talk about being polite or having something. Since your wedding is not yet full moon and there are no invitations in Beijing, let's invite you first." Familiarize yourself with the family situation, interpersonal relationships, servants, stewards, and general affairs of the shop, and I will teach you step by step."

"grandmother……"

"I know you are capable, don't say anything modest, stand up to the head of our Xia family, you are the hero of the Xia family."

"Grandmother..." Ma Min'er was stressed by Mrs. Xia's words.

"I believe you can do well."

Ma Min'er pursed her lips and stood up, "Grandmother, since this is the case, Min'er is welcome, and will do my best."

"Good boy, that's what I want to hear." Mrs. Xia stretched out her hand to hold her hand, "Do it freely, and grandma will support you."

"Okay." Ma Miner nodded.

Ma Min'er, who originally thought that she would not be able to go out after a big wedding and was bored at home, did not expect that she was so busy that she had to find time to catch her breath.

Really, it's not an exaggeration at all, the Xia family's family business is not so big, if it is just food, clothing, housing and transportation in the inner courtyard, it is a trivial matter, Guan Jian is, it also involves the Xia family clan, because the Xia family's children are not Wang, the members of the Xia family clan have always been ignorant and want to intervene in the affairs of the Xia family, but how can the Xia family let them intervene, gold mines, such a big secret, who dares to let people who are not direct relatives intervene.

Due to the big wedding in the capital, many members of the Xia family clan came to the capital with them. On the one hand, they supported the Xia family, and on the other hand, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make money.

At this moment, Mu Ruqing, the unattractive son of Mu Chengyu, came into Ma Miner's sight. In fact, he had been by Xia Zhen's side for a while, just like his father, no matter what the occasion , is the one with the weakest sense of presence, of medium stature, honest and simple, always slightly bowed, and looks like a second-class manager, but in fact, he may have the specific power to pull out gold than Xia Zhen.

"Old lady, young lady—"

Ma Min'er sat next to Mrs. Xia, since the Xia family officially told her the secret of the gold mine, she hadn't slept well for a few days, and her eyelids turned blue.

"Ruqing..."

"Old lady, the little one is here."

Madam Xia and Ai said, "Sit down."

"Old lady, my father told me that there is no small seat in front of the master." Mu Ruqing bowed his hands politely.

Mrs. Xia smiled and reprimanded: "Your father is so cautious, it's okay, the door is closed, no one will see."

"Old lady, the little one is still standing, please be considerate."

"Okay, okay, then stand." The old lady smiled, "In the past, your father followed me and Zi'an, now it's your turn to follow Madam and Zi'an."

"Yes, old lady, I understand."
