Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 228
Shi Qiuju opened her mouth to scream, but Gu Dun covered her mouth and whispered, "No, young people will be embarrassed."

"Uh...uh..." Shi Qiuju pointed to the hand covering her, "Let... let go."

The rough guy is usually fierce and ruthless in front of the soldiers, but in front of the woman he was cowardly, and he was told to let go. He really shrank back in fright, hissed embarrassingly, and pointed to the opposite side, "Xing'er married The one surnamed Wei is a good home, do you want to disturb me?"

"But...but this is not in line with etiquette."

Gu Dun blinked, "It's not suitable anymore, so what's the point if there are more."

"You..." Shi Qiuju was stunned by the rough man's words. Yes, if five years ago, when their mother and daughter were still in the countryside, how dare you think of a young talent like Mr. Wei. family, and followed the Ma family to live a life of prosperity that was unimaginable.

Not only that, Myolie also learned a lot, won the eyes of noble people, and lived a comfortable life.

Shi Qiuju stared blankly at the tree in the distance, opened her mouth again and again, but finally did not cry out.

Dai Xing'er really didn't expect that Mr. Wei would be so... so Meng Lang, unexpectedly... She supported the other's chest with both hands to prevent him from hugging her, her face was low and buried, avoiding the other's unscrupulousness.

* After one sip, the other party still refuses to give in. I don't know if it's annoyance, or it's through annoyance to repay the marrow, and he refuses to give up. Even someone not far away whispers, Wei Ren didn't notice.

"If you do this again, I will sue the prince and concubine." Xing'er blushed.

"Go, you go now." Wei Ren stopped, put his hands on the tree, wrapped Dai Xing'er in his arms, tilted his head slightly, a pair of charming inner peach blossom eyes embedded in his handsome face , the fearless smile on the corner of his mouth made him feel like a noble son: "I wish you could go, so that I can tell the prince that I am very happy with you."

Xing'er retreated instinctively, but it was a pity that she had already stuck to the tree pole, and there was no way to retreat, she bit her lip tightly, and did not dare to look at Wei Ren.

"Why don't you speak?"

Xing'er still pursed her lips.

Wei Ren wanted to bow his head and go up again.

Xing'er covered his lips with her hand, touched his lips, she was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand, Wei Ren grabbed her hand, "Trust me, I will marry you."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and touched his little hand.

"You...I..." Xing'er opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "You...what did you just say?"

"marry you."

"But...but I'm just a commoner woman, you are the son of an official family, I..." I can't match three words, Xing'er didn't say it, she remembered that the young lady said that there is no one in this world who is not worthy of anyone, only Whether it is suitable or not, if it is suitable and has the ability to keep it suitable, then it is a match made in heaven.

Seeing the little lady staring blankly at him, with a good look, Wei Ren thought, sure enough, Xing'er was waiting for him to express his opinion, and when he heard his expression, her expression let him know that she liked him.

It's fine if you like it, Wei Ren put his arms around Xing'er, there are countless beauties in the world, why did this little fool fall into his eyes.

The warm and firm chest made Dai Xing'er feel unreal. Such an excellent man actually fell in love with me. I...I...but I am so ordinary, she pushed him away, bent down to pick up His own book ran towards the room.

Wei Ren grabbed her, followed her to the door of the room, and pressed against the door to prevent her from closing it, "Why?"

"Mr. Wei, the wife you want to marry should be a young lady from an official family, not a commoner lady like me."

"I do not mind."

"I mind, your parents mind, the world minds..." Xing'er said calmly.

Wei Ren is not an impulsive man. After being impulsive, what the little lady said made him clear his head immediately, and looked at her in a daze, "Why do you mind?"

"Because I mind, so I mind." Taking advantage of his dazed opportunity, Xing'er pulled his hand away and closed the door softly.

Wei Ren came back to his senses and patted his hands twice, and found that everything was as it should be, turned around in a slump, and left the servants' yard, step by step, his feet were so heavy.

Inside the door, Myolie lowered her head and tears fell like rain. No one told her that falling in love is easy but getting along is difficult, but she knows this truth very well, maybe she learned this truth from her parents' failed marriage.

She would rather be sad for a while than let her life be unsightly. Not everyone is lucky enough to meet Erniang Ma from the capital at any time. Not as good.

She has to know herself, and only by knowing herself can she live her life in an ordinary and fulfilling way. Her husband is not a young talent like Mr. Wei, but he must not be like his father, who is as cowardly as mud outside. At home, he was as domineering as an uncle, and together with his grandmother, he punched their mother and child, making their lives worse than dogs.

-

Ma Min'er returned to the mansion, entered the inner courtyard, and just arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, when she found Wei Ren coming from the side of the corridor with his shoulders slumped, she stood still and waited for two steps.

Hey, what happened to him?Ma Min'er called out, "Sir..." No one answered, "Mr. Wei..."

Wei Ren turned a deaf ear to the shouting, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his life was meaningless.

"Mr. Wei—" Ma Miner's voice was loud.

"Uh……"

He finally woke him up from his stupor, "Mr. Wei lost his soul?"

"No...no." Realizing that he lost his composure, Wei Ren immediately adjusted his body and mind.

"Is there something wrong with you in the inner courtyard?"

"No...it's nothing, I just have nothing to do, just walk around as you like." Wei Ren showed an indifferent look.

For the girls around her, Ma Min'er knows a little bit about them. They are all young and young. She has heard that Wei Ren has something interesting about Xing'er, but it is only a little bit interesting, but judging by today's appearance , I'm afraid it's more than interesting, could it be that Myolie turned him down when he went to find Xing'er?
Ma Min'er can think of this level, so she understands Dai Xing'er. Although this girl is not very old, maybe her experience since she was a child made her much calmer than other girls. beg.

There is nothing to ask for, sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes it is not a good thing, a good thing is not to be vain, and to live as you want; the bad thing is that there is no motivation to make progress, which makes people around you feel that they have no enthusiasm for life, a bit like an old lady.

If Mr. Wei, who is well-versed in the world and has a refined life, and Xin'er, who is dull like an old lady, can complement each other, but the premise of complementing each other is that I agree with the difference between you and me from the bottom of my heart. Only in this way can we complement each other. Meaningful, neither love nor marriage will last long if they complement each other out of curiosity.

Seeing that Ma Min'er was staring at him all the time, Wei Ren forced himself to hold his hands together and said, "Young Madam, I'm sorry to bother you."

Ma Min'er was still staring at him, but called: "Miss Shan—"

"Young lady..."

"Did Brother Xiaoyou invite you to dinner?"

"Yes..." Shan Xiaodan blushed instantly when Ma Miner told her about the date.

Ma Min'er looked away and shrugged, "Oh, some people are smart about other things, but why are they so stupid about love?"

"Young Madam, did you say Fu Xiaoyou?" Xia Xiaoren was like a god assist.

"It's not Brother Xiaoyou. Every now and then, they either buy something small for Xiao Dan, or they find an opportunity to ask Xiao Dan to have a meal. Unlike some people, they think they like it and let it go. They have no sincerity at all. "

"..." Wei Ren suddenly looked up.

Ma Min'er pouted at him, "Even I, an outsider, doesn't feel sincere, Xing'er must be too."

"I……"

"Loving someone is not just a matter of a thought, but also the energy and effort put in for a thought. Only when you pay and get in touch, can you know your heart and know whether the two are compatible or not. It’s not that there’s nothing wrong, I’m going to die or live, space is too empty, it’s boring!” Ma Min’er shook her head repeatedly, “I won’t tell you, I’ve been tired all day, I want to have dinner and rest, if you see the prince, tell me If he doesn't come back for dinner on time, I won't wait for him and let him figure it out."

"Oh...yes, Young Madam." The young and proud Wei Ren was torn apart by Ma Min'er, "I... that humble job has resigned."

"Well, let's go." Ma Min'er waved his hand, the young man is proud, if Xing'er really refuses him, it's fine, let him lower his posture a bit.

Xia Xiaoren glanced at Wei Ren's back, "Young Madam, do you disagree with him marrying Xing'er?"

"No." Ma Min'er turned around and replied.

"Then what do you mean by those words just now?"

"Oh, the meaning of those words just now is to let him fall in love first, and talk to see if it is suitable. Don't think that liking is everything. If things in the world are so simple, there will be so many resentments."

"fall in love?"

"Yes!" Ma Min'er said: "If you have someone you like, I will allow you to talk about it. You are all of age, and if you have a suitable one, let me know. I agree with you to marry, no matter whether the person is outside or a Everyone in the nest agrees."

The little girls standing in the corridor saluting were all very happy when they heard what their master said, "Young Madam, is it true?"

"Yes, young and young, love each other, I won't stop it!" After Ma Min'er laughed, she immediately became serious, "But if someone is not self-love, self-cleaning, messing around, I will not agree."

"Young Madam, we dare not."

"It's best not to dare. You know the prince's temper. He can't rub the sand in his eyes. As long as I don't intercede for you, you will die a miserable death. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Young Madam." The little girl who was jumping for joy just now was too frightened to breathe again.

-

Xia Zhen returned to the backyard on time, and sat down at the small table, "You didn't pick me up when you came back, and you told me to come back on time, is it itchy?"

"Hee hee, Brother Zhen, you just met Mr. Wei by chance, so let him bring a word by the way."

Xia Zhen raised her eyebrows high, "I haven't seen you for two days, I'm really lazy."

"Brother Zhen, one day is like three autumns. I haven't seen you in six autumns. You can't bear to blame me for not picking you up in the front yard!"

"Could not bear."

"I'll just say it." Ma Min'er said as she helped him serve the rice, put the vegetables in a bowl, and put a small bowl of throat-moisturizing soup at his hand, "Brother Zhen, let's eat."

We were separated from my daughter-in-law for two days, it seems like two years have passed, and after eating four unaccompanied meals, our young Mr. Xia Zhenxia, ​​the king of Beijun, finally no longer felt deserted under the nagging of his daughter-in-law. He picked up the soup bowl and drank a couple of sips, put it down unhurriedly, and began to eat with chopsticks with great appetite.

Going out is always inconvenient. Ma Min'er was really hungry. She picked up her rice bowl and started digging. She ate three bowls in one go. Xia Zhen frowned after eating, "Be careful of food accumulation."

"It doesn't matter, you can take a walk with me later." After finishing speaking, Ma Min'er quickly ordered two mouthfuls of soup, along with the rice, and was finally full.

He said that the little daughter-in-law ate too much, Mr. Xia also ate three bowls, and drank two bowls of soup. There are still many nobles.

When I went out for a walk, the sky was dark and the moon was creeping up. Ma Min'er held Xia Zhen's arm with both hands, resting her head on his arm, "How have you been these two days?"

Xia Zhen paced back and forth, "I have dealt with a lot of letters and official documents, and I have written family letters to my parents and grandparents, telling them that everything is fine in Beijing, and reassuring them."

Ma Min'er asked concerned: "Is father okay in Liangzhou?"

"Mr. Arita's company, it's not bad."

"That's good." Ma Min'er asked again, "Where are the grandparents?"

"Grandfather took grandma to General Pingding's Mansion, where he supervised farming."

"Oh!" Ma Min'er tilted her head to look at the dark sky, "Xia Zhen—"

"Hmm." Xia Zhen turned her head to look at the little daughter-in-law, and stretched out her other hand to touch the little head on his arm, "What's the matter?"

"I want to find an errand for Sanbo."

The corners of Xia Zhen's eyes rolled slightly: "Why did you remember to help them?"

"It's lifeless, I can't stand it." Ma Min'er sighed.

"Oh, then I'll mention it to Zhuang Hao."

Ma Min'er quickly said, "I want to find Xiao Lin."

"Looking for him?"

"Yeah, it's good to let him return the favor."

Xia Zhen smiled: "You want Xiao Lin's people to not only give your third uncle an errand, but also let people watch him, so that he won't make trouble?"

"The one who knows me is my brother."

Xia Zhen reminded: "Aren't you afraid that Xiao Lin will use your third uncle to threaten us?"

"Let him threaten it, what's the big deal."

"Hey, that's enough."

Ma Min'er smiled triumphantly: "Of course, I don't want to see who my husband is?"

"See what you can do."

"Haha..." Ma Miner hugged his arm and laughed loudly.

-

When Gu Dun returned to his residence, it was already the beginning of Haishi (9:[-] p.m.). He saw the shadow of drinking himself in the window, thought for a while, took a few steps back, reached the door of the room, and motioned for the servant to open the door.

"Grandpa is really unhappy."

"I know, you can drive."

"Oh." Seeing that he persisted, the boy had no choice but to open the door.

After Gu Dun entered the door, he didn't say much. He saw the scene under the big tree in the servant's yard, including the rejection at the door. He didn't expect Mr. Wei, who was high-spirited and talented, to be rejected by an ordinary-looking little girl. He is not surprised to reject him as a big three and five rough, Wei Ren is young, rich and talented, but... unexpectedly...

Pick up the wine and drink it, Wei Ren has a glass, he has a glass, without saying a word.

After a few cups, Wei Ren couldn't help it anymore, his eyes were red, "Didn't you look for that woman, you came back after so long..."

Gu Dun smiled and said: "It's rare to have free time, so we must stick together for a longer time."

"What's sticky?" Wei Ren was curious.

"It's nothing, just standing in front of her and looking at her makes me feel at ease."

"It's that simple?"

Gu Dun smiled: "Of course it's not just standing there. She does the laundry, and I help dig well water. She collects the clothes, and I help her fold them. Anyway, what she does, I help."

Wei Ren frowned, thinking of Ma Miner's words in the afternoon, and asked, "Aren't you going to buy her something or ask her out for dinner?"

"Buy, date!"

"Ah, why don't I know?" Wei Ren was stunned.

Gu Dun smiled embarrassedly: "How can I spread the word about this kind of thing? I'm shameless, but sister Qiuju wants it. I have to think about it for her."

Wei Ren held the wine glass, his arms hanging in the air, "Has she agreed to marry you?"

Gu Dun suppressed his smile: "Although Sister Qiu Ju is still hesitant, every time I see her, I tell her about myself and my family, so that she can understand me and my family. It's as difficult to integrate as she imagined, and I think my sincerity will impress her one day."

"You...how long have you liked her?"

"About three or four years."

"Oh." Wei Ren raised his head and drank it down. Not only did his brain not burnt out, but he seemed to be more sober after drinking the strong alcohol. "According to what you say, my sincerity seems to be insufficient."

Gu Dun glanced at him, "You boy, you know you like it in your heart, what's the use of that, you have to put down your airs and love the little lady well, otherwise who would dare to marry you."

"But aren't the marriages of the grown-ups all based on the words of the matchmaker?"

Gu Dun shook his head: "That's different. A matchmaker is a matchmaker, and she simply married her. We chose this by ourselves, so we have to get along carefully. Otherwise, the little lady wouldn't marry us with a blind eye." .”

Wei Ren seemed to understand a little bit.

-

After two days, Xia Zhen had almost dealt with the matter at hand, and Ma Min'er asked, "Let's go like this, don't send posts?"

"Jingmo inquired. He's been spending the past few days in Huamanlou. If he goes there, he'll definitely see him, so he won't have to post a post. It's annoying." Xia Zhen didn't care.

"Oh." Ma Min'er changed her mind and said, "Hua Man Lou, let me go too!" Her eyebrows twitched.

"You don't believe me, take you there, so you can rest assured."

"Hee hee, Brother Zhen, just... don't keep remembering my unintentional words."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, go and change quickly."

"Okay, Brother Zhen, wait a moment, the little one will come right away."

What a naughty little daughter-in-law. Fortunately, I am patient. If the man next to me is impatient, I'm afraid it's better to be brother Zhen, little daughter-in-law.

When Ma Min'er changed into the little prince's clothes, she didn't know that her brother Zhen had already become narcissistic.

After changing their clothes, Xia Zhen and his wife got into the carriage arm in arm and went to Huamanlou.

It was probably in the morning. At the door, Ma Min'er did not see the bustling brothel that the world said, and even seemed a little deserted. "Xia Zhen, is it because of the morning?"

Xia Zhen nodded, "Yes."

Xiaowen stepped forward and said to the doorman, "Our young master has something to do with Mr. Xiao."

The doorman smiled and asked, "May I ask your surname?"

"My surname is Xia."

Surname Xia?The doorman's brain turned quickly, and he smiled, "May I ask the king of Beijun..."

"My grandfather."

"It turns out to be the King of Beijun, please wait a moment, and the younger one will report it immediately."

The top floor of the building was full of flowers, and Xiao Lin was a little surprised when he heard Xia Zhen came, "He's the only one?" Except for going to court, Xia Zhen almost always brought his daughter-in-law with him.

"Master Hui, there are still servants."

"Is there any wife for him?"

"Master Hui, I didn't see any female relatives." The steward secretly said, this is a * * building, how could we bring female relatives.

Seeing the look in the servant's eyes, Xiao Lin also realized that he had to ask more, yes, how could it be possible to bring a female relative.

"Master, do you want to let someone in?"

Xiao Lin raised his hand, "Let him in."

"Yes, Lord." The matter manager hurriedly led Xiao ran down the stairs.

Xia Zhen and his wife were led to the top floor of Huaman Building. Mother, this house is really luxurious and prosperous. It seems that a lot of money was burned.

Xiao Lin saw that Xia Zhen was being led in front of him, and quickly raised his head, "I'm sorry, I had something to do just now, so I couldn't go down to pick up the king of Beijun, I'm rude."

Xia Zhen grinned, "If you don't invite us to sit down, you will be rude again."

"Haha..." Xiao Lin raised his head and smiled wantonly, "Zian, please sit—"

Xia Zhen turned around and sent Ma Miner to the next seat to sit down.

Manly?Isn't this how the world evaluates me, Xiao Lin? Why Xia Zhen... Before he finished thinking, Ma Miner smiled at him, "You are Ma..."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao, don't come here without Yang!"

Xiao Lin looked at Xia Zhen: "It's really you, Xia Zi'an." The husband and wife followed suit, and even entered the first floor together, Xiao Lin finally accepted that someone was better than him.

After laughing, he sat at the main seat, let the servants serve the tea, and the cakes. After a while, the servants retreated.

"Young Master Xiao seems quite busy."

"It can't compare to your military training." Xiao Lin scratched.

Xia Zhen smiled nonchalantly, reached out for the teacup, and lowered her head to drink the tea.

After drinking the tea, it's time to say something, "Xia Zian, you brought your wife with you, how can I introduce you to a beauty?"

"It's okay, you introduce, I can also follow Zhanguang to see the beauties."

"You..." Xiao Lin laughed again, "Xia Zian, didn't you come to mess with me?"

"Then how dare we ask Mr. Xiao for help!" Ma Min'er laughed heartlessly.

In Xiao Lin's eyes, that's not the case. This woman will always trick others unconsciously. What does she want to do today.

Looking at Xiao Lin who was smiling and not saying a word, Ma Min'er finally understood that Xiao's surname is a thief, it seems a bit difficult for him to repay his kindness, but she didn't care if he was a thief or not, so she said the matter first, "Yes... In this way, Mr. Xiao, can you please help my third uncle find a public job errand?"

"Official errand?"

"Yes, it is the kind of tolerance that has no chance to connect with friends."

Xiao Lin smiled very lightly, "Xia Zian, if you ask me for help with this kind of thing, then the favor will be lost. Don't call me Xiao Lin a white-eyed wolf."

Ma Min'er grinned and said, "Young Master Xiao is happy."

"Someone-"

"Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Xiao Lin said: "You go to the doctor of the official department (the fifth grade, above it is the minister and the servant), and tell him, give me..."

"Mazimeng..."

Xiao Lin continued: "Give him the sixth rank of the prose official, and he only needs to drink tea. His colleagues should be older."

"Yes, master, I understand." The guest hurriedly withdrew.
