Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 240
Liu Zaicheng was grinning all the time, looking at the edge of the grass from time to time, Ma Si Niang was standing next to her second sister, she was gentle and pleasant, the more she looked at her, the more happy she was, and the more happy she was, the more she wanted to express herself.

"Hey, what are you doing kid?"

"Ah..." Liu Zaicheng withdrew his thoughts and found that the ball had already flown outside the circle.

"Liu Zicheng, will you fight?"

"Yes, yes...why not." Liu Zicheng's ears turned red, and he hurriedly ran towards the outer circle, ready to pick up the ball.

The ball rolled so fast that the waiters outside the court didn't pick it up, so it rolled to a group of young ladies. The young ladies saw that it was the ball of Luoyang County King, and those who could pick it up disdain to pick it up, but those who couldn't pick it up wanted to Pick it up, but afraid of being scolded.

Hey, what does this mean? "Can pick up" means a family that can marry into the old Liang Palace, but all these little ladies know the virtues of the little prince, and they don't like him;
And 'can't pick' means that the family of officials who are not qualified to marry the old King Liang, they don't care whether the younger prince is a dude, but Prince Liang's mansion is the old prince's mansion, how can they find these ordinary officials' families when looking for a granddaughter-in-law.

All of a sudden, the ball was jumping straight forward, but no one picked it up, haha... The young masters saw the sweating Liu Zaicheng chasing the ball, and laughed loudly, "Liu Zicheng, can you do it, kid?" Can’t even catch a ball.”

"Liu Qi, don't talk too much to me, and be careful not to fall into my hands."

"I'm afraid of you, come here..."

"Ha ha……"

Amidst the loud laughter, a clear female voice said: "Young master, you don't have to come here, I will throw it to you."

A group of people have already seen Tianyin Jiaoniang along the ball, it turned out to be a kabuki from Huoshan Palace, and the smiles on everyone's faces became even bigger.

Ma Min'er also followed the female voice, and it turned out to be the kabuki playing the harp. When she was playing the piano, she looked like she was in love with the city. She changed into a narrow-sleeved corset and stood by the grass field, holding a small ball in her hand, and raised it slightly. Protruding forward and backward, she has a charming and bright charm, she is really a stunner in the world.

Ma Min'er could feel that this woman's eyes were on several powerful men on the field, such as Liu Zaili, Xiao Lin, and his husband Xia Zhen, but she seemed to be aiming at Xiao Lin.

Ma Min'er unknowingly looked at Shu Yueru, no matter compared with the little ladies from the rich family or the kabukis brought by the little ladies, although she is tall and has a fair complexion, she can only be regarded as average. The appearance of a person is better than having a comfortable temperament.

But a creature like a man... Ma Min'er unconsciously looked down at herself, as if she was similar to Mrs. Shu, hehe, no comparison, she couldn't be without confidence.

Hehe... Ma Min'er is really humble. She stood on the sidelines, her skin was as white as jade, and her eyes were clear and aura. Her beauty is definitely not just talking. Compared with the little lady and the kabuki players, she is really beautiful without knowing it.

Liu Zaicheng was already late in the affair, but now his mind is all on Ma Yueer, and he has no cold for the bright and enchanting kabuki Qiu Li, "Hurry up and throw it to the young master."

"Little Prince, catch—" Qiuli smiled brightly, stretched out her long and slender arms, and threw it casually, her movements were graceful and enchanting, leaving no taste in the aftertaste.

Ma Min'er looked at those people, their eyes were only on Liu Zaicheng, seeing that he got the ball, they all urged him to play quickly.

Let’s talk about the playing rules of Chui Wan here, let’s not talk about the venue, the uneven green grass, the ball holes, and the colored flags next to the ball holes as marks, the playing methods can be grouped or not, depending on the number of people playing How many are divided into conferences, conferences, and small conferences. There are also two-person sparring, which is called "single pair".

When chuiwan, each person has three sticks, and only when all three sticks hit the ball into the nest can the winner be won.

In addition, there are a series of punishment regulations: no changing the ball, no heavy punching, the offender himself and the same group will lose.It is not allowed to indicate the terrain for others, and the offender loses.Borrowing sticks with others, the one who misses the other's ball loses, and the one who hits for others loses.If someone hits the ball on the edge of the nest first, and then someone deliberately hits the ball with the ball, it will also be a loser.All of these are violations that must be punished.

Liu Zaicheng failed to enter the prescribed cave with three balls, so he had to stand aside and watch others hammer the ball. He was very annoyed, he was not able to be majestic in front of his beloved little lady, and he was really unhappy.

Soon, there were more than a dozen young masters on the field, just Yu Liu, Xiao, and Xia. The field where everyone watched was a little smaller, and almost all of them gathered around the three of them. Watching the three big brothers duel, who will win the final place? one.

To be honest, Ma Miner didn't see how many times Xia Zhen played chuiwan, and she was conservative about his final victory. She guessed that No.1 should be between Liu Zaili and Xiao Lin.

Qiu Baiyan quietly approached Ma Min'er and asked, "All the ingredients for the evening have been prepared, the venue..."

"It's on this piece of grass." Ma Min'er said softly, "Prepare more meat, it's the first time I'm doing it, it's a novelty for everyone, I guess there will be a lot of people eating it."

"Well, I see."

Ma Min'er reminded in a low voice: "Be careful, close the fence gate that separates the villagers, and don't let them suffer unnecessary trouble and harm."

"Okay, I'll tell the heads of the three families."

"When buying poultry from villagers, it is best to pay them cash."

"Young Madam, don't worry, it's all settled."

"That's good." Ma Min'er said: "It's getting late, let's get ready."

"Okay." Qiu Baiyan looked at the field, the last three people were throwing poles, and it seemed that it was about to end, so he turned around and arranged to go.

Ma Min'er leaned against Shu Yueru, "Does this one of yours play often? He looks really good."

Shu Yueru shook her head, "I don't know anything about his circle of life."

Hearing this, Ma Min'er was both surprised and not surprised, and asked with a smile, "Can you pound pills?"

"When I was young, I used to play with the girls in the neighbor's house." Shu Yueru asked, "What about you?"

"I just started learning recently, I haven't played before."

"Oh."

The two chatted in low voices, and Liu Zaili's three sticks hit the designated cave beautifully, and all the young masters shouted together, "Good good!"

Ma Miner clapped her hands and shouted, "Good shot!"

The clapping and applause is the polite behavior of the contestants and spectators on the field, in Liu Zaili's eyes, his heart is full of happiness.

Xia Zhen sensed the other party's small mood swings, glanced slightly from the corner of her eye, and turned her head to wave to the little daughter-in-law.

"Call me!" Ma Min'er pointed to herself.

Xia Zhen nodded unhurriedly.

Ma Min'er trotted a few steps up to him, "Brother Zhen, what's the matter?"

"My three sticks, you hit them."

"Ah!" Ma Min'er curled her lips, "I've only learned it a few times, no... no... you should do it yourself."

Xia Zhen reached out and took the little daughter-in-law's hand, and gave her the hammer handle.

Ma Min'er pursed her lips, "It's not very good!"

"Just for fun."

"Oh." Seeing that the other two did not object, Ma Min'er had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Xiao Lin felt interesting, and waved to his wife.Shu Yue was startled, and turned to look at the children.

Ma Yue'er immediately said, "Sister-in-law, let's take care of the child."

"This……"

"Mother, Auntie is going to play too, so you should go too." Xiao Xiaoyu urged her mother to play too, like an adult.

"I……"

Feng Luoyao smiled: "Siniang and I will help you take care of the children."

"Then...thank you very much."

Shu Yueru went to the man's side despite everyone's eyes. Although she was free and easy, she had never experienced such a place before, and she was a little cramped.

Xiao Lin stood beside her and taught her to hold the pole with his hands. "I heard you tell me that I played it when I was a child. Let me teach you again and see if I can beat Ma Erniang."

"Zilin..." Shu Yueru felt embarrassed, "We're all friends, what do you do to win?"

"Tsk, friends are friends, and the arena is the arena. Come on, give it a try."

The first son of the Great Wei Dynasty, the graceful Xiao Lin, taught his wife to beat the balls by hand, like a fairy couple, which made many young ladies envious and jealous. Suddenly, it was like a rain of lemons on the edge of the green grass.

Xia Zhen raised her eyebrows at Ma Min'er, "Can you beat her?"

Ma Min'er grinned, "Friendship comes first, competition comes second, let's... fight for it!"

"Haha..." Xiao Lin laughed loudly, "Xia Zian, it's still your wife who can talk!"

Xia Zhen raised her eyebrows proudly, of course, "Come on, let me tell you, which holes should your ball hit."

"Oh!" Ma Min'er quickly stood beside him and listened to his explanation.

Liu Zaili held the hammering pole and watched Xia and Lin perform, with a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

County Chief Yunzhen's mouth barely reached the ears, "How proper is it to hug and hug in public."

The kabuki Qiuli still has a smile on her face, but the corners of her eyes are full of mischief. Xiao Zilin, I think I, Qiuli, saw you for the first time since I was eight years old, and I have been watching you hard for ten years. Famous generals, you are not allowed to see whiteheads in the world, and you can't be your concubine, even if you are a girl under your nose, but you...

Qiuli's eyes drifted to the ordinary woman in front of Xiao Lin, but she was the daughter of a scholar. If I hadn't been sold to Fengyuechang by human traffickers, I would also be a girl from an official's family. I was born better than her. Why... Why can she bear children for you, but I can't...

The other maiko, Haru Wu, looked calmly at the center of the arena, and then glanced at the distant view of the resort, as if she didn't care about anything.

The rest of the ladies all looked enviously at the couple Xiao and Xia. In the capital, there were almost no ones who came out to play with their wives. Almost all the sons and brothers went out to have fun with singing and dancing actors. Even the county princess Yunzhen came out. Bring a housewife to show the family's honor and favor.

Zhao Yuning bit her lip tightly, why didn't brother Zili call me over, there are not many young girls in Beijing playing chuiwan who are my opponents, if I win, I will definitely hit three in a row, and I will definitely get the chip once, won them over.

Liu Zaili was still standing beside them quietly, waiting patiently for the two of them to train their wives. He was also interested in who would win between the two.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ma Min'er became anxious: "Xia Zhen, Mr. Xiao, can you please?"

Xiao Lin saw that his wife had a feeling for holding the pole, hit ten times, more than half of them were scored, not bad, turned his head and smiled, "No problem."

"Who will come first?" Liu Zaili became the referee of the two teams.

Ma Min'er said: "Young Master Xiao and sister-in-law are guests, the guests come first."

"Then you're welcome." Xiao Lin smiled.

"You're welcome, please!"

Shu Yueru was a little nervous, she was sweating while holding the pole, "Why don't you, Er Niang, come first."

"It's okay, you come." Xiao Lin smiled and looked at his wife. As a rich and powerful son, he not only understands psychological tactics, but also understands his wife. If you hit the pole first, you are more likely to win.

"Oh." Husband's comforting gaze made Shu Yueru have nowhere to retreat, but also felt relieved. Holding the pole in both hands, she took a deep breath, glanced at the small ball on the ground, and looked at the cave in the distance. Swish, swish, plop, enter.

"Wow, sister-in-law, you are so powerful. Boss Xiao has only taught you for a while, and you hit it with one blow." Ma Min'er exclaimed.

Boss Xiao?Xia Er's stupid daughter-in-law can really scream, Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows happily, "This is just the beginning, what's there to be happy about, Ru'er, come again."

The first pole was hit beautifully, Shu Yue felt confident, brushed the broken hair around her ears, and held the pole again.

"and many more……"

"Waiting for what?" Xiao Lin was puzzled.

Ma Min'er grinned and said, "Boss Xiao, let's go one-on-one, don't wait for three poles, sister-in-law and I, take turns, okay?"

Xiao Lin looked at Liu Zaili, "What do you think if I let you die?"

"Then Yima Erniang."

"Oh, then one person, one rod, take turns." For some reason, Liu Zaili's smile made Xiao Lin feel that there was something to it. As for what it was, he couldn't figure it out. After all, he was a celebrity around the emperor, and this position was just like his own. , evenly matched, he still has to think about it.

Ma Min'er stood at her hitting spot, held the pole with both hands, smiled at several people, then lowered her head, looked at the pole, found the target, swished, swished, and went in too.

"well."

Xia Zhen clapped her hands, but he didn't make the applause. He glanced at Liu Zaili, then at Xiao Lin, with a smile on his lips and eyebrows.

"Brother Zhen, how are you doing?" Seeing the ball falling into the cave, Ma Miner hurriedly took credit for it.

"When dropping the pole, be more agile."

"Yes, brother Zhen, received." Ma Min'er stood upright, just short of a military salute, which made everyone laugh.

Xiao Lin said: "Xia Zi'an, you are a general, and your daughter-in-law also looks like you before you know it. You are really close to Zhu Weichi!"

Xia Zhen smiled without saying a word, but the pride on her face was clearly evident. This is my dear little daughter-in-law!

Ma Min'er turned her head and smiled, "Sister-in-law, it's your turn."

Shu Yueru nodded with a smile, indicating that she understood, held the pole again, inhaled secretly, and stabilized her mind. She still looked at the small ball on the ground in front of her first, then looked up at the cave in the distance, waved her hand, controlled her strength, and hit The ball swished, swished, thumped, and went in again.

"God, sister-in-law, your posture is so handsome, you can compete with professional chuiwan players."

Xiao Lin looked at his wife with admiration, and of course he was as proud as Xia Zhen.

Shu Yueru was embarrassed by the praise: "You...Brother Xiao taught you well."

"Wow, so sweet and humble!"

Xiao Lin was very proud, "Xia Zi'an, two goals, let's see your family."

"Look and see, who is afraid of whom." Ma Min'er stretched out her hands, lifted the sleeves on her arms, and found a suitable posture for playing. Her feet were shoulder-width apart, she bent slightly, and she held the pole with both hands, secretly With luck, I used my mind to measure the strength in my hand. I felt that the fire was coming. I shook my hand, exerted strength, and hit the ball. With a bang, the ball flew towards the raised hole in front of me with a beautiful parabola.

Everyone stared at where the tiny ball fell, and plop... plop... Boom, the ball spun around the edge of the hole and fell into it.

"Forget it, forget it..." Ma Min'er nervously looked at Liu Zaili, he was determined.

Liu Zaili smiled brightly: "Of course."

"Wow, I was scared to death." Ma Min'er patted her heart, "Boss Xiao, we are still a draw."

I don't know if I don't make contact, but when I make contact, Xiao Lin yells in his heart, Xia Zian is a fool, this wife is similar to her, it's really interesting to be in a daze, raised his eyebrows, "Barely a tie."

"Oh, what is forced, the rule is to fall into the hole, the ball does not use any external force, it falls in by itself, that is, it has gone in."

"Yes, yes..." Xiao Lin was amused by the other party's serious appearance.

"Sister-in-law, it's your turn again!"

I just played it when I was a child, and I just taught it a few times. It doesn’t seem to be very useful, but some people are talented in doing things. For example, Shu Yueru, the first and second balls have been successfully hit into the hole, so the third As long as the ball is played steadily, there is no suspense at all, and she scored again. Seeing the ball enter the hole, she was secretly relieved, and lived up to her husband's expectations.

For Ma Miner, she has no psychological burden to live up to. Isn’t she just playing, she is happy if she gets in, and it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t, but she can’t stand it, good luck, whoosh, the third ball fell into the hole cleanly .

"Yeah, it's okay!" Ma Min'er happily ran to Xia Zhen's side, hugged his arm and asked, "Is your wife very good?"

"Excellent!" Xia Zhen stretched out her hand and scratched her nose, "I'm sweating all over, go home and wash off."

"Didn't I let me beat it? I'm sweating all over, and it's my fault."

"If you don't fight, you won't sweat?"

"Uh……"

……

Xia Zhen is more rigid than her husband's face, but Ma Erniang hugs his arms like a child and acts like a baby at will. The man is admirable, but the moment he lowers his head to look at his wife, it is like a spring breeze turning into a drizzle. , gentle as water.

Shu Yueru unconsciously raised her head to look at her husband, Xiao Lin put his arms around her shoulders, "Let's go, let's take our son."

"En." Shu Yueru smiled like a flower.

Hearing that she was holding her son, Xia Zhen turned her head and cast her eyes at Xiao Lin, it's amazing to have a son!

That's right, it's just amazing, Xiao Lin glanced back, we not only hugged our wife, but also hugged our son, one hug or two.

Xia Zhen withdrew her gaze, hum, I have three children, four children, just wait and see.

Watching the husband and wife return the home, Liu Zaili stepped up lonely.

"Brother Zili!" Zhao Yuning trotted up to meet him, "How about having dinner in my small wooden courtyard today?"

This is my fiancee!At this moment, Liu Zaili was a little moved.

Hearing dinner, Ma Min'er said loudly, "Masters and ladies, please have some snacks, there is a barbecue tonight, please enjoy it to your heart's content."

"Barbecue?"

"Wow, that must be interesting."

……

All the sons and brothers were happy, and hurried back to their residences to clean up and prepare for the evening picnic.

What a great opportunity for Brother Zili to have a meal with him, but... Zhao Yuning really hates Mrs. Beijun Wang, she always feels that she can't get along with her.

Liu Zaili withdrew his gaze, "Go back and tidy up, and have a picnic later."

"Oh." Zhao Yuning let himself smile brightly.

Liu Zaili turned and went back to his cabin.

County Lord Yunzhen and others surrounded Zhao Yuning, "Last winter, I heard that the young masters of the aristocratic family like to barbecue, so I want to see it tonight."

"That's it." Zhao Yuning didn't care.

"You have eaten?"

"My brother took me to eat once."

"Er Niang, your brother is really kind." A little lady said enviously.

"Who's saying I'm good!"

The eldest grandson of Zhao Shangshu, Zhao Xianning, has arrived, and with him is Liu Zaiwen, the grandson of Huoshan Palace's grandson Changshan County King.

"Cousin..."

"Yunzhen—"

Liu Zaiwen, Prince of Changshan County, is the son of the second son of Lord Huo, and County Lord Yunzhen is the daughter of the eldest son (the eldest son) of Lord Huo.

"I just heard you said that there is a barbecue?"

"En." Zhao Yuning nodded, "Brother, I heard that there is no single small wooden courtyard in the resort."

"This..." Zhao Xianning looked at Liu Zaiwen.

Liu Zaiwen asked: "Er Niang and Yun Zhen, do you each have a building?"

"Yes!" Zhao Yuning nodded.

Liu Zaiwen looked at his cousin, "Yunzhen, can you and Erniang share the same building? Let Xianning and I live in Erniang's courtyard."

Zhao Yuning looked at Yun Zhen, she lived in the largest small wooden courtyard in the resort village, although the layout was small, it was a real small wooden courtyard with two entrances and two exits.

County Mistress Yunzhen nodded and agreed after thinking about it, "Well, I'll let Kabuki live in the backyard, and Erniang live in the west courtyard."

"Thank you, sister Yunzhen." Liu Zaiwen seemed to think of something, "Who else brought Kabuki?"

"And Yunfang, the granddaughter of Prince Huai, also brought a maiko."

"Oh."

These people are all in the same circle, and without letting Qiu Baiyan come forward to coordinate, they have coordinated the residences themselves, and when he knows, they have already settled down.

"Go and tell the young lady."

"Yes, the master is in charge, and the younger one knows."

-

When they returned to the small wooden courtyard, Xiao Lin called the girls and mothers beside Shu Yueru, "Take the two young masters and Yu'er to wash up. In the evening, Ru Niang and I will go out for a picnic, and they will be at home, so you can take them with you. "

"Yes, sir."

The two maids and the two nuns were servants who were transferred to his wife after entering the Xiao Mansion. They were servants and maids who had received strict training. They did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the two young masters and young lady to wash up.

Ozawa didn't want to go, "Mother—"

"The evening activities are for adults. I will discuss it with your aunt next time. I will do it during the day. Mom will take you there, okay?"

"Oh, mother, then don't forget to tell Aunt Ma."

"Ok."

As soon as the children were out of sight, Xiao Lin followed his wife's hand into the inner bedroom, and closed the door tightly, "Zilin, do you have something to tell me?"

Xiao Lin's eyes were bright, and soft ripples appeared on his usually serious and arrogant eyebrows. With a smile, a curved and dazzling smile, he lowered his head slightly, and approached his wife's face, "You just hammered the pill?" The posture is beautiful."

"I..." Shu Yueru didn't expect him to say such a thing. Before she could get shy, the man hugged her, bowed his head and came up to her, "Ru Niang..."

"Hey...Zilin, I'm going out soon, you..." Even though she had three children with this man, Shu Yueru was still blushing with embarrassment at this moment.

"Let them wait." Xiao Lin hugged his wife and went to bed.

"Zilin..." Shu Yueru put both hands on the man's neck. They walked all the way, hiding and hiding for a long time. There has never been such a bold and passionate moment like today. The word N will be omitted below.
