Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 25
Why do you think so much, anyway, I am not a direct descendant, and I don’t want to take an official career. Since I have land, I will be a happy little farmer. I work at sunrise and rest at sunset. I can finally live a slow-paced life!

It was not until a long time later that Ma Min'er realized that it was not the ancient exiles who were free and had land and houses, but the emperor... Haha, well, no matter what, the hard days are finally over.

Ma Chengzu was also very surprised that the emperor arranged it like this. For an old man who was about to enter the earth, it didn't matter if he couldn't get out of Yunshui Town. , After being overjoyed, I realized that the Ma family can only be detained in one county in the future, so what future is there?
The son-in-law, Ma Qimeng, was nearly forty years old. After the bitterness passed, he didn't think much about it. It was better than being locked in a prison.

The eldest son Mayihui's face darkened, he was different from anyone else, if he couldn't get out of Pingding County, then what's the point of his life?He looked at his grandfather unconsciously.

Ma Chengzu gave him a comforting look, as for what was in the look, only Ma Yihui could understand.

After a long trek and the torture of prison, Ma Min'er suddenly felt that the time spent waiting for housing and land distribution felt like years.

Why is it 'living like a year'?

Since waking up in another world, Ma Min'er hasn't showered or washed her hair. Because of the severe drought and lack of water, she hasn't even washed the simplest face. Now she can still look beautiful, all because of the fact that she shaves her face every morning. Wipe the dry grass with dew, just like that, she is also a delicate and beautiful existence among the refugees.

Of course, compared with the appearance, the inner stomach is more terrible. They used to be exiled prisoners, and they still had imperial rations.

Now they are semi-free civilians, and they have to rely on themselves. Apart from waiting for the pavilion chief to allocate land and housing, there seems to be no subsidy.

Even if you get the land and plant food, you have to wait a season!Ma Min'er looked at the small and old Yamen in Yunshui Town, Ma Qimeng, the eldest son of the Ma family, was pestering the head of the pavilion: "President Li, look at our big family..."

He wanted him to arrange them quickly, but the man surnamed Li stretched out his hand and plucked his ears, "You have also seen that Yunshui Town is only this big, so the houses come from there."

"What?" Ma Qimeng's eyes widened in surprise, "The emperor asked you to share, do you dare not?" After all, he is a son of a powerful person from Beijing, and a word still has weight, and the rogue pavilion chief immediately changed. With a face, "Of course, the emperor handed over the points, and the villain must have the points, but... just there is no vacant house for the time being."

"What do you mean?" Ma Qimeng asked politely.

"Oh, to be honest, Master Ma, don't look at me as the pavilion chief of Yunshui Town, but the town is poor and small, so I can't help it."

The Ma family is an aristocratic family, and no one has seen it before. This person clearly behaves in a false manner, and he asked angrily, "Then where do so many of us live?"

"There is an inn in the town, you can stay there for two days first, and I will arrange it immediately after I finish it." Li Tingchang smiled kindly.

Staying in a hotel?Ma's family still has money to live there, Ma Qimeng looked at his father and mother.

Madam Ma looked at the old man.Ma Chengzu's eyes were expressionless, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

"Mother..." Ma Qimeng had no choice but to ask his mother.

Mrs. Ma is ashamed, she has long lost the manners of a noble lady, her waist is sluggish due to hunger and fatigue, she looks around the town, there seems to be no empty house in the dusty town, and sighs, "Meng'er, you Call the shots."

"Mother……"

"Master Ma, I really don't have a house to house you guys. I originally wanted to invite you to my house, but my... my house is really small, and I can't accommodate dozens of people. I still hope Haihan."

"..." Ma Qimeng was really dumbfounded.

"Grandfather—" Ma Yihui, the eldest grandson of the Ma family, saluted and said, "It's tiring all the way, why don't you stay here first..."

"No..." Seeing that everyone else was standing there, Ma Min'er wished she could stay right away and wash up, but she didn't see the calculation in the eyes of the pavilion chief. Once she moved into the inn, she didn't know how long it would be After getting a house and land, this kind of temporary settlement is totally useless, and there will be endless troubles, so I hurriedly stood up.

Li Tingchang was secretly startled, and hurriedly looked at the person who spoke, and saw that it was a faceless little lady, she let go of her tight old eyes, stretched her neck and asked, "Master Ma, you are letting girls in the capital interrupt you." ?”

"Lao Liu, take Erniang down." Ma Qimeng choked on old man Li, turned his head and shouted.

The cowardly Ma Qifeng habitually stretched out his hand to pull the child. Ma Min'er avoided his father's hand and raised his chin, "My lord, it's okay to let us stay in the inn. Will you pay for the inn, or the government office of Yunshui Town?"

"Of course you did it yourself?" Li Tingchang's eyes almost popped out.

"Hehe... Mr. Tingchang, the emperor and Mr. Yao have already said that we are not asked to pay for the inn to let you divide the room. If you don't divide, we will live in the yamen."

"How dare you..." Li Ting jumped up.

"Why don't you dare!"

"You...you...only girls and villains are difficult to raise, I won't tell you, I'll tell you the masters." Li Tingchang changed his smile as soon as he turned his head: "Master Ma, you have also seen the world For those who want to arrange everything, it will take time."

Of course Ma Qimeng knows the truth. It is good to delay the work in the government office for ten days or eight days. Some even have it for several years. No one knows this better than him, so he didn’t agree with his mouth, but he already knew it in his heart. As a result, they are exiles now, and their fate is in their hands. If they say they will be divided, they will be divided, and if they say no, they will not be divided. They bow their heads and accept their fate!

"No, I just can't." Seeing this situation, Ma Min'er yelled anxiously, "Father, brother, the front office has business to do, so we can't stay here. Let's live in the resting place in the backyard of the yamen, let's go..." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled his father and elder brother to walk in, "Sanlang, Si Niang follow!"

All the depressed Ma family stretched their necks out of shock from Ma Miner. Mrs. Ma San, Ma Qimeng's wife, thought about it, walked up to her husband, and whispered, "We have no more money."

"This……"

Seeing this driving force, Li Tingchang became anxious, and waved his hands to let the yamen servants block Ma Min'er's path, "The yamen is so important, don't be fooled."

Ma Min'er stepped on the steps and turned her head: "If Master Ting Zhang disagrees, then arrange a place for us, even under the eaves of your house."

"I...I..." Pooh, living under the eaves of my house, wouldn't that mean I'll be eaten too? How about that, tongue-tied: "I'll just stay in the inn for a few days, and the old man will arrange it right away."

"How to arrange it?" Standing on the steps several floors high, Ma Min'er turned around and refused to give way.

"I..." Li Tingchang rolled his eyes, stretched his neck and stared: "I am the pavilion chief, so I can arrange whatever I want."

"I can't say it, I think you don't want to arrange it."

Li Tingchang was blocked by Ma Min'er, turned his head, pointed at her and said: "This is the rule of your people in the capital. When men talk, women also come together?"
