Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 227 Please let go of the result
When she heard the knock on the door, Shu Yueru ignored it. When the twins heard the sound, they looked at each other and ran towards the door with their short legs. She called out, "Xiao Ze, Xiao Xun can't open the door."

"Yes, mother, let's take a look through the crack of the door."

Shu Yueru was worried, so she followed the children to the main gate. She couldn't see the situation outside the gate. The twins were small, and there was just a gap in the lower part, so she could see the people outside.

"Mother, it's the one who asked us to call you Auntie."

Shu Yueru frowned, "Princess Beijun?" Then should I open the door?

Outside the door, Ma Min'er knocked several times, seeming to hear footsteps inside the door, "Shopkeeper Shu?"

There was no sound from inside the door, and the children looked up at their mother, "Is auntie calling?"

Shu Yueru pursed her lips slightly, but did not move.

"Shopkeeper Shu, it's noon now, let's come over for lunch."

us?Could it be that the King of Beijun is also by her side? That's right. The King of Beijun and his wife always come and go together hand in hand. The husband and wife are loving and envious of others.

"Shopkeeper Shu..." Ma Miner just called out, the door opened, and seeing the person who opened the door, she grinned: "Hello, Shopkeeper Shi!"

"My lord, my concubine—" Shu Yueru gave a small gift.

Xiao Guogong finally saw his daughter-in-law, this woman who dared not open the door when he knocked on the door, she was just a scholar's daughter, she was so fascinated by her son, she didn't even open the door for herself, hum!
Xia Zhen and his wife were chatting with Shu Yue, and Xiao Guogong coughed lightly as he stood behind him.The three of them stepped aside unconsciously, and he swaggered into the restaurant. The servants at the back put the chair he was sitting on at the head of the hall, and respectfully asked him to sit down.

Ma Min'er glanced at Shu Yueru, grinned and said, "Shopkeeper Shu, order some bowls of wontons for us!"

"Yeah, let's hurry up, I'm starving to death, young master." Liu Zaicheng also stepped forward to watch the excitement.

Shu Yueru looked at the sky outside, "It's the right time in the afternoon (three o'clock in the afternoon) and you haven't eaten yet?"

"Yes, in order to enter the city earlier."

Shu Yueru looked at Ma Min'er meaningfully.

Ma Min'er seemed to see the meaning of 'you came back to join in the fun', er... She asked herself, it seemed that it was yo, smiled awkwardly for an instant, and followed into the main hall.

"Everyone, sit down as you please. I'll prepare food for you at the back, please wait!" Shu Yueru entered the kitchen behind the shop through the side door.

Seeing her mother gone, Xiao Xiaoyu hurriedly stood behind her two younger brothers, looking at the old man in front of her with vigilance, her gloomy eyes and the slightly drooping corners of her mouth, all of which were fierce and frightening from a superior.

A pair of twins opened their big round eyes and looked at their grandfather from top to bottom. The upright, rigid and excessive sitting posture is rigorous and noble, and the three mustaches make people look forward to it. prestige.

The twins' small bodies unknowingly pressed against her sister, Xiao Xiaoyu felt the fear of her younger brothers, and stretched out her hand to pull them out of the main hall.

Xiao Guogong is too serious, he still wants his grandson like this, Ma Min'er curled his lips, just about to wave for the twins to come over, when the kissing father arrived.

"Xiao Ze, Xiao Xun—"

"father!"

"father!"

The two little babies flew into their father's arms like little swallows. Xiao Lin bent down and stretched out his arms, one on each arm, and the two sons sat obediently in the bend of his arms.

"Father, why did you come?" Xiao Xun felt aggrieved holding his neck.

"What's the matter, son?"

"Dad, I miss you."

"Son, Dad misses you too."

Is this still his indifferent son?With a soft-spoken and kind voice, Xiao Guogong was stunned by such a son, but he didn't show it on his face, and all he had written on his rigid face was, evil son, I see where you are going to escape this time.

"Father—" After being intimate with his son, Xiao Lin carried his son to Duke Xiao, put the sons on the ground, and saluted them together, "Call grandfather—"

The twins leaned against Xiao Lin's thighs, but they didn't follow their father's wishes and immediately called for someone.

"evil……"

"Xiao Guogong..." Ma Min'er interrupted Xiao Gongguo, and took two lollipops made of maltose from the pouch, "For your lovely grandchildren, this is the correct way to open a grandfather. "

Xiao Gongguo looked at Ma Min'er with a bluffing face.

Ma Min'er giggled, "Xiao Guogong, the method of teaching your son is not suitable for your grandson. Haven't you heard people say intergenerational relatives? You have to smile, and then hold a lollipop, like grandma wolf, to your little one." The sheep said, good boy, this is delicious, and the lamb likes you!"

Xiao Guogong was really shocked by Xia Zi'an's daughter-in-law, his old eyes widened, why... How could there be such a nonsense woman.

Ma Min'er didn't care, "Liu Zicheng, put the lollipop in Xiao Guogong's hands."

"Oh." Who is Liu Zaicheng? He is a person who is never too busy, and immediately did as Ma Miner wanted, took Xiao Guogong's hand, and stuffed the lollipop into his hand.

"Back off."

Liu Zaicheng followed Ma Miner and retreated to Xia Zhen's side.

Xiao Guogong stood still with them, retracted his eyes, then looked at the lollipop in his hand, then at the pair of twin grandsons, and blinked.

Ma Min'er stood on the side and shouted, "Xiao Xun, go get it, and then thank grandfather."

Xiao Xun fell in love with the lollipop in the shape of a little rabbit, and looked at his father with pouting mouth.

Xiao Lin smiled slightly, as if giving the little boy infinite strength, and let him take a step forward, reached out and reached for the lollipop in Xiao Guogong's hand, "Thank you, Grandpa, you are so kind." After speaking, he grinned.

Uh, the eldest grandson actually smiled at me, laughed.

As if knowing what Xiao Guogong was thinking, Ma Min'er reminded with a smile, "This is the youngest of the twins, called Xiao Xun."

"Xiao Xun?"

Xiao Lin replied: "One of the eight trigrams represents the wind. My son hopes that his child will act like the wind."

Xiao Guogong nodded unconsciously, "The implication is okay." After finishing speaking, he looked at the other grandson, and seeing that he didn't move, he stretched out his hand, meaning, this is for you.

Ozawa shook his head.

"Why not?" Xiao Guogong felt strange.

"My name is Ozawa. My father said that my Ze is from Shi Enbude. I want to give this candy to my grandfather."

Xiao Guogong didn't expect his grandson who was only a few years old to say such words, and nodded happily, "Good boy, then grandfather will accept it." His serious face became coquettish with a smile.

The serious atmosphere of the three generations was finally broken by the lollipop. Ozawa also grinned as he watched his grandfather put the lollipop carefully and preciously in his sleeve pocket.

"Good... good grandson..." After uttering the first word, Xiao Guogong felt much smoother, "Come, come to grandfather."

Xiao Xun looked at her brother with a lollipop.

Ozawa stepped forward, bowing his hands like a little adult, "Grandson has met grandfather."

My elder brother called out, and Xiao Xun also called out, "Grandson has seen grandfather."

"Good boy, good boy." Duke Xiao hurriedly took out the fine jade from his arms, "Come on, grandfather will hang it for you." This extremely beautiful jade, when he heard that he had a pair of grandchildren, he cried Someone took out the treasure of the town house at home and made it into a jade pendant. As soon as it was finished yesterday, he hid it in his arms. He didn't expect it to come in handy today.

With sugar and polite interaction, the grandparents and grandchildren finally got on good terms, and Xiao Guogong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Here and there is still the rigid Xiao Guogong who wants to be beaten, he is clearly a kind grandfather.

Xiao Lin turned his head, bowed his hands to Ma Min'er, and sincerely thanked, "Do you still have lollipops?"

Ma Min'er curled her lips, whether she was thanking her or begging for something, she didn't help a white-eyed wolf, she took out another lollipop from her pouch and handed it to him.

"Why haven't I seen this before." Liu Zaicheng reached out to snatch Ma Miner's purse, but she clapped her hands and gave him one, "How old are you, you still eat."

Liu Zaicheng happily peeled off the glutinous rice paper and took a bite, "Wow, it's delicious."

"I want to eat it too." Xiao Xun saw it and wanted to peel it off and eat it.

"Come on, grandpa will peel it for you."

It's really connected by blood, and it has been seamlessly connected so quickly.

Shu Yueru came in with a wooden tray on which several bowls of wontons were placed, "Everyone, here are the wontons." After finishing speaking, she put down the tray and placed bowls of wontons by everyone's table, "Everyone, please take your time." !"

Xiao Guogong and his son Qi Qi glanced at Shu Yueru, Shu Yueru smiled at her husband, "Hurry up and eat."

Xiao Lin stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit at the table near the door, "Let's eat together."

"You eat, I take care of the children."

"No, just follow them."

Shu Yueru understood her husband's words, sat with him and ate wontons.

Seeing her two younger brothers struggling to sit on the stool, Xiao Xiaoyu reached out for help, but was pulled to her table by Ma Miner, "Let's eat with Auntie."

"Then I..."

Ma Miner gave her a look, implying that there is your grandfather.

Xiao Xiaoyu looked towards her grandfather.

Xiao Guogong was at a loss and wanted to ask his son and daughter-in-law to get his grandson on the stool, but his son made it clear that he didn't want to help, and seeing Xia Zian's wife taking away his eldest granddaughter, he was so angry that he almost kicked his beard.

Ozawa's little butt just couldn't reach the round stool, after trying several times, his little face turned red.

Xiao Guogong felt distressed, so he had no choice but to stand up, and personally hugged his grandson to sit on the round stool, hugged one, and then hugged the other, and the three of them finally sat down at the same table for dinner.

After seeing the excitement, I helped out and ate the wontons, and Xia Zhen and his wife left together arm in arm.

After they went out, the onlookers at the door had been evacuated by their accompanying guards. The street at sunset was quite interesting, "Let's go, go back to Beijun Prince's Mansion."

"it is good."

Liu Zaicheng caught up from behind, "Is this the end?"

"Yes, what else?"

Liu Zaicheng looked inside the court shop puzzled, "Then the Shu family will follow..."

Ma Min'er turned her head to look at the sky, "Maybe, there will be a result tomorrow."

"We have to wait until tomorrow!" Liu Zaicheng rubbed his chin, "But I want to know now."

Ma Min'er shrugged, "Okay, you go into the shop, continue to sit on the side and watch, and you will know the result."

"I... I don't, I want to go home."

Back home, you are still talking nonsense here, Ma Min'er secretly curled her lips, got into the carriage with Xia Zhen, and headed all the way to the Beijun Palace.

After Ma Qifeng and his daughter went to the city, they parted ways. He took his wife and children and went back to Ma's house. The next morning, he was busy preparing things for the grand master's mansion.

Zhuang Hao had already received Xia Zhen's letter, and on the second day, he brought the official media to the Beijun Prince's Mansion, "This person is a first-class official media, she works, don't worry."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhuang, then you talk to Zi'an, and I will take the matchmaker to the small living room."

"Young Madam, you are too polite."

Ma Min'er brought the matchmaker to the small living room, told the matchmaker about the general situation of her home, and finally said: "Grandma Ma, the ceremony to go to the Grand Master's Mansion should neither make us lose face, nor let the Grand Master's mansion People think that my Ma family is exaggerated and untrue."

Oh, hello, this princess of Beijun, look at what she said, it's a bit harsh, isn't this making things difficult for others, she still smiled kindly, "Okay, Caomin understands what you mean, princess, I'll immediately explain the procedures and gifts. Let me explain it to you in detail, if there is anything inappropriate, please give me more pointers."

Ma Min'er was not modest, "Just tell me."

"Okay!"

-

In Xia Zhen's small study room, Zhuang Hao and the former owner had already analyzed all the major events that occurred in the capital recently, "I inquired, and all the shops of Xiao Lin paid the business taxes, and reduced the amount of wine koji and salt. Bidding, he seems to be aware of the crisis in Duke Xiao's mansion."

"Concubine Xiao Gui is pregnant, what kind of meaning does the emperor want to give?"

Zhuang Hao said, "It seems that there are not many pregnant women who can give birth to a child smoothly."

"You mean, the Xiao family paid the business tax obediently, and he gave a sweet date?"

"Well, that's what it means." Zhuang Hao said again, "Concubine Rong is also pregnant at this time, I'm afraid she will use Concubine Rong to restrain Concubine Xiao."

"Say something else." Xia Zhen didn't like this kind of thing the most.

"I heard that there are Turks invading Liangzhou in the north. What's going on?"

"My father has blocked it."

"That's good." Zhuang Hao said, "Mr. Tian is helping out there, so nothing will happen."

"Ah."

……

The two chatted until the afternoon, until Liu Zaicheng rushed over, "There is a result, there is a result..."

Zhuang Hao smiled: "Is it a matter of negotiating between Xiao Guogong and his daughter-in-law?"

"Hey, you know?"

Zhuang Hao smiled, "Everyone in the capital knows that it is the young lady who can let them sit down and talk face to face."

"Ah, what do you mean?" Liu Zaicheng asked puzzled.

"Didn't you go with me yesterday, why didn't you know?"

"I... didn't I just go to eat wontons yesterday, why..." Liu Zaicheng seemed to understand something, "You mean, Ma Erniang went to eat wontons on purpose, but she actually gave Xiao Guogong the steps to sit in the store Here, let their father, son, and Weng's daughter-in-law face to face to discuss conditions?"

"Yes."

Liu Zaicheng was even more surprised: "Why did Er Niang step down the steps for Xiao Guogong, I remember they are not familiar with each other."

Zhuang Hao glanced at his former owner, "It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

"Oh oh oh... I understand!" Liu Zaicheng nodded non-stop, "I have to learn a bit, I won't tell you, I will go to Er Niang and tell her the result."

He stepped out of the study door, and suddenly seemed to remember something, turned back to the study and said, "You can guess the result, right?"

Zhuang Hao shook his head, "I really can't guess."

"Aren't you Xia Zi'an's military adviser, there will be things that you can't guess?"

Zhuang Hao laughed: "I can't guess what a woman thinks."

"Uh...haha..., you can't guess, and I won't tell you..." Liu Zaicheng ran away.

Zhuang Hao asked: "Zian, can you guess it?"

Xia Zhen replied unhurriedly: "I live in another mansion, Xiao Guogong can come to see the children at any time, but that woman will not enter Xiao Guogong's mansion except for the New Year's Day."

"Can Duke Xiao agree?"

Xia Zhen stood up, "Do you want to listen?"

"Walk."

Ma Min'er was taking care of the housework and dealing with the affairs of the mansion. She went through it all morning and afternoon, and before she had time to stretch herself, Liu Zaicheng came running over.

"Why, running around in such a hurry?"

Liu Zaicheng said excitedly: "The result is out."

"What result?" Ma Min'er raised her eyebrows.

"Guess it?"

"Can the Shu family continue to operate the shop?"

Liu Zaicheng shook his head, then nodded again.

"Is it right or not?" Ma Min'er was confused by his nodding and shaking his head.

Seeing that Erniang Ma couldn't come back, Liu Zaicheng said triumphantly, "As a result, Mrs. Shu can run the shop, but she can't show her face anymore, so she needs to hire the shopkeeper."

"Oh." Ma Min'er thought to herself that this is the inevitable result.

"anything else?"

"And you guessed it?"

"I can't guess." Ma Miner shook her head.

"Haha, there are other things that you can't guess!" Liu Zaicheng was very proud, "The other thing is that the Shu family took their children to recognize their ancestors and returned to their clan, but they didn't live in Xiao Guogong's mansion, but lived in the house that Xiao Lin built by himself. .”

"That's not bad."

Liu Zaicheng pursed his lips: "That's not bad, Duke Xiao's mansion will be chewed by the people of the capital."

"what for?"

Liu Zaicheng explained: "Xiao Lin is the direct son of the Duke's mansion, he has to live in the mansion, and if his father is here, he will open a court in another mansion, and he will be frightened."

"According to what you said, isn't Xiao Lin the son of the world?" Ma Min'er was surprised, she really didn't know Xiao Lin in detail.

"Yes, but he is powerful, and he has earned the title of Huaiyi County King, which is unmatched in Beijing." Liu Zaicheng looked admiring and envious.

Ma Min'er said with emotion: "Tsk tsk, this is the legendary child of other people's family, he is really awesome."

"you do not say."

Ma Min'er said, "Since his title is already at the same level as the Duke of the Kingdom, it's fine if he doesn't live in Kaifu."

"But he didn't say that he would give up the position of the son."

"Uh... is there gossip here?"

Liu Zaicheng nodded, "His mother was poisoned to death by the concubine's room because Xiao Guogong doted on his concubine. Xiao Lin has been at odds with Xiao Gongguo since he was a child."

God, it's a hard-working child who can not grow crooked, and knows how to marry ordinary people and live an ordinary life. It's really not something ordinary people can do, and it's not ordinary people who can do it.

Looking up, Zhuang Hao and Xia Zhen came in, "Hey, you also know that Liu Zicheng is here?"

"I've already been to the study."

Ma Miner asked with a smile, "Are you also gossiping?"

Zhuang Hao smiled and said, "I'm here to verify what Zian said, right?"

"Zian, how did you guess?"

"I live in another house. Duke Xiao can visit the children at any time, but Xiao Lin and his wife will not enter Duke Xiao's mansion except for New Year's Day." Zhuang Hao replied.

"Wow, wow, Xia Zian, how did you guess that?" Liu Zaicheng exclaimed in admiration.

Xia Zhen still returned in a leisurely manner: "Although Shu's personality is not as lively as Min'er's, he doesn't like to be restrained like Min'er in his bones. Coupled with the old affairs of the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Lin will not let his children enter such a place." It's a complicated family, so neither the Shu family nor Xiao Lin will agree to enter the Duke's mansion."

"That's right, Xia Zian, your analysis is not bad at all."

Ma Min'er breathed out, "So, Xiao Lin's family affairs are settled."

"Ah."

Ma Min'er asked worriedly: "Then will he hate us? We are the ones who announced the secret to the world."

"If we don't announce it, someone else will announce it, so why not be afraid of him." Xia Zhen didn't care.

Well, my husband's words are confident, and Ma Min'er is not worried anymore, "Everyone, sit in the small living room, dinner will be ready soon, we will eat later."

-

After the dust had settled, Xiao Lin finally stood in front of Emperor Yuantai, bowing his head and standing respectfully.

"Aiqing, you haven't come to see me for a while."

"Return to the Holy One, apart from pilgrimage, I have never looked for the Holy One alone."

Emperor Wutai looked at him leisurely, with a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Are you finally free now?"

"The minister is terrified..."

"Humph..." Emperor Yuantai snorted softly, "My daughter is nine years old, and there are also a pair of five-year-old twins. They have both children. I am really envious of others."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... My Majesty... I am not allowed to do this. Please forgive me."

Emperor Yuantai's eyes were dim, "Duke Xiao spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. I took away all his positions of real power and only kept his title. What are you afraid of?"

"Xie Sheng is the master of the subject, the subject is just afraid!"

"Scared?" Emperor Yuan Tai reached out to take a booklet, twirling the side of the booklet with his fingers, "It's not a bad thing."

Xiao Lin lowered his head slightly, looking at the surface of his face from Emperor Wutai's angle, he could only see the corners of his mouth, and after hearing his words, the corners of his mouth were obviously pursed.

Emperor Yuantai closed his eyes, his eyes were unfathomable: "I heard that you sold a lot of shops?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Why?"

Xiao Lin replied: "Recently, business is not doing well, and I lost money, so I exchanged some."

"It's not easy to do? Could it be that the tax is too heavy?" Emperor Yuantai asked too unpredictable.

Xiao Lin said: "Return to the Holy Father, no, the main reason is that I always think about the children and have no energy to take care of the shop, so instead of letting it lose money, it is better to sell it and get some cash."

"It seems to be such a reason." Emperor Yuantai smiled, "I haven't seen your sister for a long time. When her fetal gas is stable, come and see her."

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Xiao Lin quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

-

After resting at home for a day, on the second day, Xia Zhen wrote a letter to see the emperor, and Emperor Yuantai saw the note of his invitation, "I still know that it is not easy to come to see me!"

Fang Yuyuan stood aside, watching his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth, and didn't answer.

"Yuyuan—"

"The old slave is—"

"Do you think I have seen or not?"

Fang Yuyuan cupped his hands and stepped forward: "My lord, this Beijun king is also bold and casual. If he wants to leave the capital, he will leave, and if he wants to see his lord, he will see him. Your lord, you have to give him some punishment to show his example."

Emperor Yuantai stroked the three mustaches, "I would like to know how he farmed that mountain valley?"

Fang Yuyuan quickly took a step back, and said with his hands down, "The Holy Majesty is generous, that's the blessing of the King of Beijun."

"Well, then let him come and see." After finishing speaking, Emperor Yuantai approved his meeting papers.

Xia Zhen thought that she would wait for a few days, but unexpectedly, she received a reply from the Ministry of Rites that night. She smiled and went back to the backyard with ease.

Two days later, when it was the day of the holy meeting, he got up early, took a bath and changed clothes, had breakfast, and in the morning, drove into the palace in a carriage.

The monarch and his subjects have not seen each other for more than three months. At first glance, it seems that it happened yesterday. Emperor Yuantai looked at the young man who was alive and well, "Is it really so fun in the valley?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, it's like going hunting with you, free and easy."

"Hunting?" Emperor Yuantai sighed, "Since I came to the throne, either natural disasters or man-made disasters, I have never been surrounded once."

Xia Zhen didn't answer, but stood respectfully.

Emperor Yuantai said again: "However, according to Tian Zuojian, this year is a good year with good weather and good weather. If there is a good harvest after the autumn harvest, I can go to gather around. When the time comes, I will pass by you..."

"Resort, my lord!"

"That's right, it's very pleasant to just listen to the name in a holiday village."

"Your Majesty welcomes you personally."

Emperor Yuantai looked at him with a smile, "I heard you like farming?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Why?"

"There is food for farming, and I feel at ease."

"Better than digging for gold?"

"Uh... Your Majesty..." Xia Zhen raised her head and looked at Emperor Yuantai with an aggrieved expression on her face.

"Haha..." Emperor Yuan Tai was amused by his bear appearance, "Isn't what I asked the truth?"

"My lord, I also want to tell the truth."

"Oh... what kind of truth?"

Xia Zhen saluted and returned: "The gold will be gone after digging, but it can grow again after the grain is harvested. As long as you work hard, you will have food to eat at any time. People live for a mouth. The mouth is solved. Wouldn’t it be a pleasure to find another paradise like Xicaogou to live comfortably.”

Emperor Yuantai always had a smile on his face, "Your words really make me yearn for it!"

"Your Majesty, you can't yearn for it. Without your wise governance, the minister will not be able to relax!"

Emperor Yuantai laughed and scolded: "You rascal, you are the only one who can say this. If others dare to say it, I will beat you to it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not punishing me."

Emperor Yuantai sighed: "I won't punish you. From tomorrow onwards, go to court normally."

"Going back to the Holy Lord, I have to go back to Xicaogou!" Xia Zhen pretended to be pitiful again.

"you……"

Xia Zhen implored: "Your Majesty, you can treat me as a foreign minister. If I have something to do, I will give you a report. This court... please..."

"Still going to Xicaogou?"

"Yes, I came back this time for my brother-in-law's marriage."

Emperor Yuantai lowered his eyelids, "Whose family?"

"Return to the Holy One, the granddaughter of the old grand master."

Emperor Wutai raised his eyelids, "Who is the matchmaker?"

"Return to the Holy Lord, when the old grand master traveled to the north and lived in Ma's house, he fell in love with my brother-in-law for his granddaughter."

"Oh, so there is this origin."

"Yes, my lord."

"Well." Emperor Yuantai sighed, "Well, since you are lazy, I can't control you, but you have to come to Beijing to see me often."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will wait a while."

-

April [-]th was a good day. Yi Nacai exchanged Geng stickers. Ma Qifeng followed the matchmaker and took his family to Taishi Mansion. Before going, he took his old father Ma Chengzu and Mrs. Ma The three ladies took it together.

Now Ma Chengzu often takes leave to stay at home and doesn't go to court much anymore. He originally refused to go to the Grand Master's Mansion, but was persuaded by Ma Qifeng and Ma Min'er to move this great god.

Not only that, Ma Yihui, the eldest grandson of the Ma family, happened to come back, and when he heard of the Grand Master's Mansion, he recommended himself as a relative of the man's family to help out.

To be honest, Ma Min'er doesn't like this big brother very much. He is a man deep in the city, and he always has a superior attitude, which makes her very uncomfortable, but in front of everyone, she has to let him go.

The Fengfu has already received the invitation from Ma's family, and has prepared all the matters early on. In addition, this marriage was pre-determined by the male master, so everything went smoothly, and there was no intentional temptation. It's already a done deal, it's just a formality.

The Feng family also invited some relatives, but these people already understood what the old grand master meant, and sitting on the side, they were just filling in the numbers and never making things difficult for others.

The main hall of the Grand Master's Mansion is minimalist and tasteful, just like Grand Master Feng. Everyone sat in it, and after walking according to the established form, they chatted a few words casually, and it was time for lunch. The host and guest also had a good time eating.

After the meal, Feng Jiangyi invited Ma Chengzu to play chess. Ma Chengzu, who was often bored at home, played two games of chess with Feng Jiangyi, and his mood seemed to improve a lot. The stretched face was relaxed a lot, not so depressed.

Ma Qifeng saw it in his heart, and thought silently, and then went back to Xicaogou, and took his father there to relax.

Ma Yihui is very different from usual. When Feng Jiangyi is free, he finds opportunities to talk to him. When he plays chess with his grandfather, he chats with Feng Zhiping. He looks very humble and eager to learn. The family left a good impression.

Mrs. Ma San saw it, and thought that Ma Meier was kind to her. When chatting with Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Feng, she mentioned Ma Yihui's marriage, "If the old lady and his wife have a young lady to help our brother Hui Let me introduce you."

Mrs. Feng smiled and said, "If there is a chance, I will definitely help."

Seeing that her mother-in-law agreed, Mrs. Feng also smiled: "There is a suitable one, no problem."

Mrs. Ma, who has lost her former glory, doesn't go out very much now, and she doesn't like to talk too much when she goes out. She is very happy to see her daughter-in-law working hard for her grandson, and she said, "Then I will trouble you both."

"What the old lady said, we will be in-laws from now on, we will come and walk around often, to be warmer." Old lady Feng said sincerely.

"Alright..." After hearing Mrs. Feng's words, Mrs. Ma's mood brightened. Although they didn't necessarily walk around, it's always good to have this kind of heart.

Ma Min'er behaved well today, knowing that she was not the protagonist, she tried to speak as little as possible, or stood beside the two old chess players and watched them play chess.

The happiest thing today is Feng Luoyao, having a good lunch, the housewives chatting, the men playing chess, chatting, she and Ma Dalang standing in the shade of the small garden, talking in a low voice, "Brother Ma, why haven't you come to see your grandfather recently?"

"Look for..."

"Then why didn't I see you?"

"In the yamen."

"Uh..." Feng Luoyao reached out and patted his heart, "Brother Ma, you are really bad."

Ma Dalang was photographed with a silly smile.

"Laughing... What are you laughing at..." Feng Luoyao had a coquettish look on her face, and her little face was flushed.

"I'm happy to see you." The honest Ma Dalang said whatever he wanted.

Love to hear these words, Feng Luoyao glared at him coquettishly, "Slick tongue."

"I... told the truth."

Of course I know what you're telling the truth, but how dare I admit it, Feng Luoyao almost said 'You idiot who doesn't understand style', but girl, don't you just like this kind of dumb handsome boy? !

After the game of chess, Feng's family entertained them with tea again. This is the time to see off the guests. The matchmaker knew that it was time to play by himself, and asked with a smile, "Old lady, since everyone is happy with each other, how about this small date?"

Mrs. Feng looked at the Ma family who were looking forward to it, and grinned, "How about the tenth day of October?"

"Okay, very good." Mrs. Ma didn't think too much about it. The other party said that October must be her reason, and she just needs to agree.

Sure enough, on the way home, Ma Min'er told the old lady that Princess Baoyun will get married in September.

"The Feng family is really appropriate in doing things."

Ma Min'er smiled, and thought, even if it wasn't the Grand Master's Mansion, the wives of other mansions knew about it. She suddenly realized that the Ma family's female family members had left the elite circle of the capital.Is this a good thing, or...

The marriage between Fengma and Ma's family has been settled, and they can follow the procedure. Ma Qifeng's idea of ​​returning to Yunshui has been completely dispelled now, and the elder son's marriage must be arranged.

The rest needs to be handled by Mo Wanyi. Ma Min'er thought for a while and said, "Aunt Wan, next time you go to the Grand Master's Mansion with the matchmaker to discuss the details of your brother's marriage, bring your grandmother and third aunt with you."

"I'm feeling uneasy. It's best to bring them along."

Ma Min'er shook her head, "It's up to you to decide what to do, I just want my grandmother and aunt to have more opportunities to get in touch with the rich and powerful, which will be beneficial to future generations of our Ma family."

"I understand what you mean."

Ma Min'er said, "In the future, if Big Brother has a colleague to visit with us, you can figure it out. You don't have to push it all away. Let's keep some contacts in Beijing."

"okay, I get it."

"As for..." Ma Min'er turned to look at Ma Qifeng, "Father, if I have a chance, I would like to find a job for Sanbo."

"Min'er..." Ma Qifeng looked at his daughter in surprise, "You...are you willing to help?"

"Yesterday we went to see my grandfather. I couldn't stand the atmosphere in that house." Ma Min'er didn't have the nerve to say it because of the dead smell.

"Who says it's not!" Ma Qifeng took a deep breath, "Min'er, we are living well, and we still need to..."

"Father, I can say my ugly words first. I'm busy. I can only help once. If Uncle San doesn't work hard, there's nothing I can do."

When the daughter said this, Ma Qifeng was still happy: "We... let's do our best."

"Okay, then I will find an opportunity to ask Xiao Lin for help."

"Why did you find this person, old master...?"

"Feng Taishi is not suitable, Dad, don't worry, I have my own reasons."

"it is good."

It's rare for the prince not to go out with the young lady. Apart from Zhang Nianmei, Wei Ren and others also stayed in the mansion. It's rare for him to be free. "Fatty Gu, why are you going?"

"I won't tell you." Gu Dun wore normal clothes today, and kept stretching out his hands to pull the robe on his body, straightening the clothes again and again.

"Don't pull it, it will break if you pull it again." Wei Ren looked disgusted, and sat on the chair awkwardly, looking like a decadent nobleman.

"Oh, then I won't pull." Gu Dun straightened his body, coughed twice, and faced Wei Ren, "How is it?"

"not so good."

"You..." Gu Dun said angrily, "Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts." After speaking, his face immediately changed to a look of embarrassment, "If I succeed, I will be your future Yueshan."

Wei Ren stretched out his foot and kicked it over.

Gu Dun jumped away happily, "Stinky boy, unless you don't want to marry Xing'er, but let me tell you, it is absolutely impossible to take a concubine, hehe...you just worry about it alone."

Seeing that Wei Ren was about to stand up and beat someone up, Gu Dun ran away. He ran a few steps, but he was not satisfied. He turned his head and said, "I heard that Xiaowen also likes Xing'er. If you hesitate any longer, the day lily will be cold."

"You stop for me..."

Gu Dun managed to escape.

Wei Ren stretched out his leg and kicked the door frame, ouch...it really hurts, he stood there and turned around a few times, and after turning around, he sat down on the chair again, touching his clean chin with his fingers, his eyes straightened, and he didn't know where to look There.

The Young Madam only took Xiao Shan and Xia Xiaoren with her when she went out, and Xing'er was at home. After finishing the accounts, she brought the other maids to tidy up the Young Madam's room and washed the bedding inside.

I was busy until lunch, and after lunch, I went back to my room to rest. Since I often followed the young lady in Xicaogou, the room was not very crowded, and there was a bit of a smell.

When the young lady was at home, they almost all followed the rhythm of the lady, and they didn't have much time for themselves. Today, the young lady went to her mother's house to help discuss marriage, and she opened the window to let the air in. As for the clothes and bedding, she was better than other little girls , her mother helped her do it.He took the book and sat in the shade of the big tree in the courtyard to read.

Looking at it, she felt a shadow covering the book in her hand. She knew instinctively that it was not the shade of a tree. She withdrew her consciousness of reading, and she felt a person standing behind her.

And she probably also guessed who this person is, she kept her face and continued to turn the pages of the book, one page...two pages...

When the young lady is away, not only Xing'er, but also the other maids are leisurely, in twos and threes, either chatting in the room, or doing laundry in and out of the yard. Wei Ren's servant is holding a purse bag in his hand, and when he sees the girl, he will say, "Go and leave to chat..."

Who is not happy if there are silver coins, the little girls, no matter they are really happy or sad, they all went out, and many of the laundry girls also put down their work and were invited away by the boy's silver coins.

Wei Ren turned his head to look at the servant, and the servant said with his mouth, everyone went out, no one was there, he waved his hand, and the servant also retreated, and closed the gate of the servant's courtyard.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Xing'er finally closed the book, straightened up quickly, turned around and was about to go to her room, when Wei Ren grabbed her.

Myolie looked at his hand, "Mr. Wei, please let go."

"Why do you pretend I don't exist?"

"This is the girl's yard, it's not suitable for Mr. to come here." Xing'er said coldly, her words meant something.

"Whether it fits or not, I know best in my heart." Wei Ren replied with a pun.

Xing'er raised her eyes, struggling to leave his grip.

Wei Ren squeezed the opponent's arm tightly.

"Let go, it hurts."

Wei Ren's pale complexion was slowly imbued with young people's affection, and while pursing his lips, he suddenly pulled and hugged Xing'er to the nearby big tree, blocking the entrance of the courtyard with the tree, although the courtyard door was closed, it was not Cover up is required.

"what are you doing?"

"What are you doing, I like you!"

"I don't like you, let go."

"As long as I like it." Mr. Wei Rengui's dominance was clearly evident at this moment.

Xing'er wanted to refute her little cherry mouth, but before she could say anything, something blocked her: "Uh...uh..."

Not far away, beside the well platform, there is also a big tree, and there is also a man and a woman behind the big tree. The woman looked at the big tree not far away in surprise. Mr. Wei's tall stature completely covered her daughter.

"He... what does he want to do?" Shi Qiuju was extremely surprised.

"What can you do? I like it as much as I do!" Gu Dun curled his lips. He had only held Qiu Ju's hand so far, so he dared to be like a young man, with his mouth full. what class.
