Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 264 Requirements for Secret Book
As Xiao Lin, Feng Jiangyi and his wife, and Ma Chengzu and his wife arrived one after another, the old Liang Wang finally couldn't hold back his face, waved his hand and walked away for most of the time, and the small Ma house finally didn't look so crowded.

"Old princess, what are you doing?" Mrs. Feng said with a half smile.

The old Princess Liang felt a little unreasonable. With the help of the girl, she stood up and took a step forward, "Mrs. Feng, why are you here?"

"Er Niang told me that she didn't understand the process of marriage proposals in the capital, so let me come and have a look."

"No... nothing different, all the same, all the same." Of course, the old Princess Liang understood Mrs. Feng's words. It's because they didn't follow the rules, but what can they do with their precious grandson? He had no choice but to let people come All of them are here.

Mrs. Feng purposely shouted at Ma Min'er: "Second Mother, what the old concubine said is the same!"

Ma Min'er came over to salute, "Thank you, old lady, I can't help you."

"Er Niang, you're being polite." Mrs. Feng smiled.

Prince Liang's mansion dismissed the irrelevant people, and admitted that the process was the same, and gave all the face that should be given, so there is no embarrassment. After all, the young prince has a fate with the Ma family's fourth mother. If this is the case, then it is almost enough. He gave Ma Erniang a look.

Ma Min'er was of course bluffing, for the sake of her sister, it was impossible to make matters worse, and smiled at everyone: "It's time for dinner, everyone, please move to the restaurant for lunch."

"Yes, let's go to lunch first. It's a big deal. Let's discuss it in the afternoon."

"Ziqi is right. I'm hungry too, and I want to eat too." Xiao Lin followed Da Fuma to control the rhythm for Ma's family.

"Since the juniors have invited you like this, old prince, please—" Feng Jiangyi smiled kindly.

Look at Ma Chengzu, who has always been rigid and cold-faced in the old Liang Dynasty. Even if he is unwilling, he can't stand his precious grandson liking his granddaughter. Nothing cheaper than him.

"Please..." Old Liang Wang moved with strides.

The three old men Feng, Ma, and Lao Liang Wang walked in front, followed by Liang Wang and his wife, and behind them were Ma Xie Xuanqi, the eldest son of Liang Wangfu, Liu Zaixi, Xiao Lin, and Xia Zhen.

Ma Min'er led the imperial concubine, "Please—"

The concubine Shizi nodded slightly and smiled. She finally met the rumored concubine of Beijun. This heroine who punched the fourth son and smashed 36 restaurants angrily was really bright and magnificent, not at all like a down-and-out little lady.

That's right, she has long since married from the family of down-and-out officials to the mansion of the Great General of Zhenbei who holds a heavy army, and the man has made great contributions to the dragon, and has long been named the king of Beijun. Her little life is nourishing.

"Hey, it's really a Baxia offering!" Walking to the dining room, a smell of food wafted up his nostrils, and Ma Jie Xuanqi laughed.

Mo Wanyi stood in the restaurant, saluting everyone who came in, "I don't know that there are so many people here today, and I didn't have any preparations, so I will entertain everyone with the Baxia offering. If there is anything wrong, please bear the responsibility. "

"Hello, Baxia!" Dafu Ma Jiexuanqi smiled and said, "'Surge clears the river and snow, the wind turns to reflect the sunset', it's a very good mood!" After finishing speaking, he looked into the copper pot on the table, "Bo Bo The sliced ​​meat is rolling in the water, it's really greedy!"

"Please sit... please sit..."

Restaurants and restaurants also have this dish, but Ma’s dish is definitely the most delicious. Not to mention that the ingredients come from Xicaogou, let’s talk about all kinds of dipping sauces, sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.

"Ma Erniang, is this the hot sauce made by my family's Hong Dizi?"

"That's right, Mr. Fu Ma, I will give it to you for compensation every season!"

"But why do I think yours is better than mine?" Da Fuma frowned deliberately.

Ma Min'er raised her eyebrows: "Master Fu Ma means that I hid the good ones at home and gave you the bad ones?"

"Then what do you think?"

"Of course not." Ma Miner wanted to roll her eyes.

If it wasn't for eating, Dafuma would have raised his head and laughed, "But to be honest, why do your dishes look bland but taste fresh and delicious?"

"Impossible." Ma Min'er glanced at Xiao Lin and shook her head again and again.

Xiao Lin immediately understood, "Are you afraid that my restaurant will get your secret book?"

"I didn't say anything."

Xiao Lin hooked his lips and snorted, "I finally understand why the business of the small restaurant you opened in Beijing is so good, so there is a secret book!"

"Of course, without any unique skills, can you survive in the capital?"

Xiao and Xie looked at each other and smiled, they really are two-handed people, it's impossible not to admire them.

Don't say that Da Fu Ma and Prince Xiao had a good meal, even the people of Liang Wangfu who have eaten delicacies from mountains and seas also feel that Ma's Baxia offering is different from that of other families. Let alone the ingredients, in addition to rabbit meat, there are also beef, Mutton and other meat, the meat slices are as thin as cicada's wings, transparent and attractive, boiled in the pot, cooked instantly, dipped in various sauces, and the taste is indescribable, can only be described in four simple words ——Fresh and beautiful.

After eating and drinking enough, the whole body was warmed up in the suddenly cold weather in September. The group of people sat in the main hall and finally started to get down to business. The matchmaker glanced at everyone, "Old princess, who am I speaking to? "

The old Concubine Liang looked at the Ma family, Ma Miner was sitting beside Mo Wanyi, she was waiting, and said with a smile, "Of course to my father, my aunt!"

The matchmaker is a fine person, and he has already figured out who to talk to, but he didn't expect that the person who can make the decision is modest, so let me talk to her parents first, okay, then tell her parents.

Matchmakers are indeed not ordinary people, they are like flowers when they open their mouths, the wealthy Prince Liang's Mansion, the noble little prince, in the eyes of the matchmakers, they are simply rare and rare good people in the sky.

"Master Ma, Mrs. Ma, I, Mrs. Lan, never boast, and I never tell lies. The little prince is the husband and lover that so many young ladies in the capital dream of. I don't know how many people secretly asked me to inquire about the little prince. Can you tell me today?" To come to you to propose a marriage is really a good marriage destined by heaven."

Ma Qifeng forced a smile, he thought it was normal, but Liang Wang's mansion did not let the matchmaker come alone first, and came directly with the matchmaker. This means that he will marry regardless of whether he agrees or not. What else can he say? .

Mo Wanyi smiled along with her, and turned her head to look at Ma Min'er. According to her own opinion, she didn't want to marry Si Niang into such a complicated palace.

Ma Erniang thinks more than they do, but no matter how much she thinks, it can't compare to liking and love. The two see each other right, and she has to stand aside for other things. She has to respect the young people's wishes.Under such a premise, she can only do her best to strive for the greatest happiness for her sister.

Seeing that the Ma family was silent, the matchmaker smiled and looked around. He saw the most respected Mrs. Feng in the capital, and the old lady of the Ma family. Neither of the two old people seemed to have any intention of opening their mouths.

Since the other party had no intention of speaking, she focused on the second mother of the Ma family who was the most talkative of the Ma family.

Ma Miner looked at Liu Zaicheng.

When Liu Zaicheng saw her look over, his original casual sitting posture was straightened out, making himself stable and lovable.

This kid has learned to put on a show, Ma Min'er looked away, and said to the matchmaker with a smile: "My father and aunt are planning to return to Yunshui, Yizhou in early October, and there are not many opportunities to come to the capital in the future."

"Are you really going back to the north?" It's one thing to inquire about it, but another thing to hear it with your own ears. Liu Zaicheng was still surprised.

Ma Min'er grinned, "It's not us, it's my father and my aunt who brought their family back to the north."

She deliberately explained this sentence, except for people who don't understand the market. For people like Da Fuma and Xiao Lin, it is not so much to explain that they will not go back to the north, but to tell everyone in disguise that Xia Zi'an is indeed going back to the north. , but the emperor did not speak, and they dared not say it clearly.

Old Liang Wang and others were knowledgeable, and looked at Feng Jiangyi one after another. In this main hall, he was the only one who was closest to the core of the government. No one knew better than him what was going on in the court.

Feng Jiangyi smiled and said nothing.

Regardless of what Liu Zaicheng explained, what the court wants to do, what he cares most about now is when he will marry Yueer, "Er Niang, what do you mean, I can marry Yueer now?"

"Did I agree?"

"What, you don't agree?" Liu Zaicheng was so anxious that he was sweating, he instinctively looked at his grandfather, and then at the most authoritative Feng Jiangyi, "How can you disagree?"

Yes, my old Liang Palace has been dispatched, do you dare to disagree?Old Liang Wang's eyebrows were so raised that he almost flew up. If Old Man Feng wasn't sitting here, he would have jumped up a long time ago.

The old Princess Liang also wanted to say something, what is the little Ma family... His eyes touched the face of Mrs. Feng who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she suppressed her noble arrogance. Alright.

Mrs. Ma never thought that her grandson would dare to reject the Prince Liang's Mansion. She was both happy and sad in her heart. She must have confidence in rejecting the Prince Liang Mansion, and who gave this confidence? It must not be her own man. Doctor, no one thinks highly of her. Her confidence is given by her husband who holds a soldier in his hand. It is very important for a woman to marry the right person.

Dafu Ma and Xiao Lin don't think that Ma Min'er will disagree, she must have paved the way for what will happen later, Xia Zi'an's woman is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he can beat her at home!
Ma Min'er didn't know that someone was worried about her husband, so she asked the person seriously: "I think you must understand, why do I disagree?"

"I..." Of course Liu Zaicheng understood what she meant, she thought she was not motivated, "But I... I have worked very hard,"

This is the truth. Regardless of the people in Prince Liang's Mansion, Xiao Lin, and Da Fuma, they all know that Liu Zicheng has made great progress in the past year, and his business is doing well. It turns out that the reason for his progress is here. The second mother forced him to make progress.

Everyone looked at Ma Miner differently again. What kind of magical power does she have to make Liu Zicheng, who is out of tune, obediently do business?

"I saw it." Ma Min'er nodded slightly.

Liu Zaicheng pursed his lips aggrievedly: "Then you still don't agree?"

"I don't agree, but you insist on marrying. I heard that you turned your family upside down in order to marry Yue'er. If I'm not human, I can't justify it!"

"I..." Liu Zaicheng lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Seeing that you are so sincere, if I refuse completely, I really can't be cruel. How about this, I will take a step back..."

"Retire...retire for what? I marry Yueer, what do you want you to withdraw?" When Liu Zaicheng heard her words, he felt guilty and thought to himself, Auntie, what tricks are you going to do? You are forced to do this, you are not enough!

Ma Min'er seemed to read his heart from his wrinkled forehead, and said with a smile, "It's not enough."

"God..." Liu Zaicheng covered his face and shouted, "God, I just want to marry a woman, why is it so difficult..."

"Pfft..." Dafu Ma Jiexuanqi couldn't help laughing, turned to Liu Zaixi and said, "I didn't expect the little bully to have such a day!"

Liu Zaixi also secretly smiled, but he couldn't show it on his face, he was his own brother.

Ma Min'er pretended that she didn't hear the laughter, and continued: "My family's Yue'er is still young, only 14 years old, and married at the age of 17..."

"Wait, you were 16 years old when you married Xia Zian, why is Yue'er 17 years old?"

"You... even know this?"

"Of course." Liu Zaicheng said proudly.

"So what, my father said, he is going to marry a daughter at the age of 17, what's the matter?" Ma Min'er didn't care.

"I..." Liu Zaicheng wanted to turn around angrily, "Okay, I got married at the age of 17, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. This year will be over. Counting the new year, it will be two years, and it will be soon."

"Wait, yes, if in these three years, let me hear that you don't want to go to bed..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely make progress..."

"That's good!" Ma Min'er said, "Besides making progress, there is one more condition, and you have to agree to it?"

"What condition?" Liu Zaicheng felt chills running down his spine when he heard the condition for some reason.

Let the grandson, son, and younger brother make progress, they clapped their hands secretly, and someone helped take care of the little thorn, that's really great, how easy it is!But what is the 'condition', everyone in the Prince Liang's Mansion is eagerly looking forward to it.

Ma Min'er ignored everyone's gaze, and smiled slightly, "If you want to marry my sister, you have to clean yourself up, don't mess around with women, don't take concubines, and she will be the only woman for life."

what……

what……

what……

Many people were surprised, but Xiao Lin was an exception. In this era, he only married one wife and did not touch other women. It was all because of the injuries he suffered in childhood and the self-discipline formed in the day after tomorrow.He can do this, others may not.

The members of the royal family who showed their nobility and reserve were all out of control at the words of the Ma family's second mother.

"You... what are you talking about?" Old Liang Wang's eyes widened.

The old Concubine Liang opened her mouth to reprimand, "Has no one taught you what a woman's words are?"

Ma Min'er smiled slightly, "My father and my mother are monogamous, and my grandfather and grandmother are monogamous..."

"Wait, Ma Tongfeng is monogamous?" Old Liang Wang sneered.

"Grandfather and grandmother of the Xia family!"

"..." The old Liang King couldn't figure it out. The Xia family went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they were not afraid of their son being killed on the battlefield. They were actually monogamous and had only one son.

Ma Miner smiled proudly, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also monogamous, and my husband and I are also monogamous, and the law and etiquette recognize monogamy."

"You...you..." Old Liang Wang looked at Feng Jiangyi, "Old Man Feng, are you... the granddaughter who married because of the monogamy of the Ma family?"

"This...I..." Feng Jiangyi has a concubine, so he can't talk about monogamy.

Da Fuma is the son-in-law of the royal family, and he can only be monogamous, but secretly, he has a lover, how can a man only have one woman, no, it seems that there are two sitting beside him, he turned slightly to look at them.

Xiao Zilin, he knows that when his wife and children are not shown in front of others, everyone thinks he is a broken sleeve, but in fact he is not close to women, he believes that he only has one woman.

He looked at Xia Zi'an again, he had stayed in the capital, and he had heard people say that all the beauties given by others were dumped by him. However, at that time, it was mostly because of the complicated relationship between the government and the government, and he did not accept purposeful gifts , it doesn't mean that he secretly doesn't look for women. Now it seems that he is indeed not close to women.

Is it true that today's young people are self-disciplined to this extent for their families and careers?Or there is a tigress in the family, and the wife controls him so much that he dare not touch other women?
Ma Min'er looked at Liu Zaicheng, raised her eyebrows, and motioned for him to make a statement.

Liu Zaicheng was sweating from being stared at by everyone, he was naughty, he was noisy, he was lawless, but these things have nothing to do with women, not that he is self-disciplined, he is unconscious, because he is not good at this, He likes to tease chickens, walk dogs, and cause trouble, but it doesn't mean he agrees with monogamy.

Among the 99 men around him, [-] of them not only have wives and concubines in groups, but also visit flower houses and keep outhouses. Isn't this a normal situation?

The boys and buddies who played with him have also started this model one after another. He is 17 years old this year. Slowly, he will be like them. This is human nature!
"Since the little prince can't do it, then let's leave it like this!" Ma Min'er resolutely ended today's matter.

"That's it, why?" Liu Zaicheng's neck was stiffened, and his face was red.

"No reason."

"Then what do you mean?"

Ma Min'er giggled: "It's nothing, I like it, I just want to fight, I want to suffer, I like you, even if I like you, I also like your lifestyle and habits, you Since you want to marry my Yueer, then you have to accept monogamy."

"Why aren't other people's homes like this?" Liu Zaicheng shouted angrily.

Ma Min'er replied indifferently: "Because other families didn't make such a request when they proposed marriage, and some families even gave the new uncle a beautiful concubine in order to secure favor and status, but my Ma family is not like this, we need a husband Monogamy, can you agree? Agree, let's change the post, disagree, the gate faces south, you go!"

"You, you, me, me, me..." Liu Zaicheng was so angry that he surrounded the main hall like little beasts struggling.

When Prince Liang's mansion came to propose marriage, Ma Yueer even ate in her own room. She, who had been depressed all the time, felt as if she had come to life when she heard the marriage proposal. Her little face was filled with joy, and she even ate an extra bowl of rice. .

After a good meal, she probably realized that either he came to find her, or that she might be called to the front yard by her elders. She tidied herself up carefully, and put on a new skirt that her father had just made, light yellow and light red, combed Wearing a tassel bun, the whole person is like an elegant chrysanthemum in September.

Yan'er smiled and said, "Si Niang, you are so beautiful, just like Er Niang."

"My eyes are not as good-looking as my second sister's."

"Just a little bit younger than her." Yan'er playfully stretched out her finger and gestured.

Mayue'er smiled.
