Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 267

Ma Min'er knew it was urgent, but she didn't expect it to be so urgent, "We haven't said goodbye to Dad yet?"

Xia Zhen replied: "I have already sent someone to inform my father to go to the Beijun Prince's Mansion. Tonight, we will have a meal together and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Matter of urgency, Miner understands the truth, but when we meet, I'm still sad, I can't formally say goodbye, and I always feel unhappy.

"Min'er, hurry up and ask someone to prepare a few more tables, there are still people coming tonight."

"Our friends in Beijing?"

"Well, almost."

"okay, I get it."

After a while, everyone in the Beijun palace knew that the prince was leaving tomorrow morning. Those who should prepare dinner prepared dinner and cleaned up. The whole palace was tense and busy.

Zhang Nianmei put on her regular clothes and saber to go to Xigoucao. "In such a hurry?" asked his wife Xing.

"En!" Zhang Nianmei said, "Tomorrow morning, you and the prince will set off together, and Erniang will arrange for you when the time comes."

"Oh." With her husband not by her side, Xing felt a little uneasy.

Zhang Nianmei buttoned up her cloak, picked up her son, kissed her a few times, then turned her head and said, "Don't worry, I will meet you at the first small county outside the capital, very soon."

Mrs. Xing nodded, and reached out to take her son, "Then go get busy."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

"Understood." Zhang Nianmei strode out of the yard with her servants and guards, and said to the steward and mother who saw him off: "Listen to Madam. If you betray you, you will never be forgiven lightly."

"Don't dare..." The servants replied in unison.

"Pack up quickly, and set off with the prince tomorrow morning."

"Yes, General!"

As Zhang Nianmei left, the steward of the Zhang family brought the servants to clean up. Someone came from the front yard of the palace, "Mrs. Zhang, Young Madam asked you to take the young master to the front for dinner."

"Thank you, Miss Qingzhu."

"Madam Zhang, you are welcome!" Qingzhu is a second-class girl, leading the way with a smile, "Madam, please follow me."

Gu Dun did not go to Xicaogou with Zhang Nianmei. There were also many guards inside and outside the palace, and they were all special soldiers. He was going north early tomorrow morning. He had to hold a meeting with them and explain the precautions, and he was too busy.

-

Seeing Xia Zhen's subordinates, before he could speak, Feng Jiangyi knew what was going on, and flicked twice, "Go and inform the next family."

"Thank you, old master, then this subordinate will leave."

"Go."

Dayu was no longer polite, and there was another family, he quickly left the old master's house and continued to work.

Feng Zhiping walked up to his father, "This is the King of Beijun..."

"We're about to leave, please let me go and get together."

"Father, you took the people from Yushitai to scare him, he..."

Feng Jiangyi shook his head, "It's not because of my father's insistence, but because my father built a step for him and the saint, and let them come down the step."

"Father, once the Yushitai is broken, no matter who is right or wrong, they will leave a mark in the annals of history. It is not a good thing in the end, this step is too..."

"Son, this is the art of the emperor, no one can do anything about it."

Feng Zhiping followed his father with emotion.

Feng Jiangyi continued: "Fortunately, Xia Zi'an is a transparent person, and he knows why he did this for his father, so he can be regarded as helping his father."

Feng Zhiping nodded, "That's good."

"Let's go, go with Wei Father."

"Father, the King of Beijun didn't invite me?"

Feng Jiangyi smiled, "It's okay, I still have some face for being a father."

"Yes, father, I understand."

-

Xiao Lin met Da and Er Fuma at the gate of Beijun Prince's Mansion. They looked at each other and smiled, and entered the main hall of Beijun Prince's Mansion together. In the main hall, Liu Zai was sitting on the Grand Master's chair with golden swords and horses, and was with Ma Erniang. Talk, "you are gone, what about my engagement party?"

"What should I do?" Ma Min'er frowned, "You can do whatever you want!"

"You mean you go, but Yue'er and the others still don't leave?"

"Yes, I have promised you everything, of course I have to follow the wedding process."

"Oh my God, that's great, it made me nervous." Liu Zaicheng patted his heart and heaved a sigh of relief.

Ma Miner glanced at him, "No matter how I see it, you don't look nervous at all."

"Why not, look, my forehead is covered with sweat."

"Go." Ma Min'er reached out and patted the melon seeds on the head, Liu Zaicheng laughed, "It hurts!" After speaking, he stretched out his hands to rub.

"Liu Zaicheng, let me tell you, don't think that if I leave, no one will supervise you. As long as my sister, or someone else, complains to me, if you have something wrong, the marriage will be canceled immediately, do you understand?" ?”

"I understand, I understand. Yue'er told me that even after the wedding, if I don't do well, she will divorce me." Liu Zaicheng thought, why is my life so hard!
"It's good to know." Ma Min'er said: "Hurry up, my father won't leave the capital a few years ago, but after the next year, he will definitely leave with my brother. Yue'er won't come to the capital until three years later when you get married. "

"My God, it's been so long!"

"It's too long, you can also go to the north, and do some business by the way, isn't it very good."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of it." During this period of time, Liu Zaicheng, who had been struggling all the time, was pulled out by her, suddenly realized, and kept patting himself on the head, "Why didn't I think of it, why didn't I think of it Woolen cloth……"

"Haha...why didn't you expect that?" Dafu Ma Jie Xuanqi smiled all the way into the main hall.

"Da Fuma, why are you here?" Liu Zaicheng stood up to greet him.

"What? You can come, but I can't?"

"Yes, yes, of course." Liu Zaicheng gave up the seat to the first horse, and then bowed to the second horse, Xiao Lin, and Liu Zaili behind him, "Hey, brother Zili, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you doing?" coming?"

That's right, logically speaking, Xia Zhen shouldn't invite him. Why did he come?Ma Min'er also asked this question, but she still had a smile on her face, and greeted everyone who came in one by one.

Of course Xia Zhen also saw it, and it was indeed him who invited him. What's going on?Did he know that Liu Zai was married and wouldn't pester his wife in the future?
There is this reason, of course, the most important thing is that Emperor Yuantai reused the Sima family of the Minghou Mansion. The Sima family and the Xia family did not deal with each other, but now they are favored by the Holy Spirit. This is extremely detrimental to the development of the Xia family in the north. The enemy of the enemy It is my friend.

There are only a few seats next to the emperor, and if the Sima family occupies them, Liu Zaili's position must be threatened, so he must be against the Sima family. If he is Sima's enemy, then he is Xia Zhen's friend, so after thinking twice, Well, apart from thinking about his wife, this guy has no differences with him in terms of political views, so he should show his favor and save himself a backup in the capital.

Xia Zheneng invited him to a farewell meal, and Liu Zaili was stunned for a moment, but who is he? But Long Xingwei, the great Wei Dynasty, what happened up and down escaped his eyes, the Sima family and the Xia family Of course he knew about the filth among his ancestors, but Xia Zhen finally let go of his guard against him for the sake of the family.It's good to let it go, so he let it go, but in this life, he still feels happy to be able to look at it one more time.

Ma Qifeng brought a large family to the North County Prince's Mansion, and after Ma Min'er saluted with several big shots, he took his family to the backyard.

"Father, Zi'an and I are leaving tomorrow morning, don't worry."

"Min'er..." Hearing that his daughter was leaving, Ma Qifeng felt that he had lost his backbone in an instant.

"Father, don't worry. A few days ago, I discussed it with my elder brother. After the year, he will bring you back to Yunshui."

"Min'er...Father hates you."

"Father, next year when you return to Yunshui, Xia Zhen and I will go back to see you."

What can I do? After my daughter said so, Ma Qifeng had no choice but to nod, "Then you must come and see Dad!"

"Father, for sure."

Ma Yue'er was also reluctant to part with her second mother, and also felt that her second sister had lost her backbone, "Second sister—" she hugged her waist, "Can't you even attend my engagement banquet?"

"I'm sorry, sister..." Ma Min'er felt very guilty.

"Second Sister—" Ma Xiaowu saw Fourth Sister crying, and he also cried, "I want Second Sister..."

"Brat, why are you crying like a man?" Ma Min'er wanted to cry when the little guy cried.

"Second sister, second sister..." Ma Xiaowu hugged Ma Min'er's thigh.

Three-year-old Ma Xiaowu was just at the age of being cute and cute. With her round face and big teardrop eyes, she could really make people cry. Ma Min'er bent down and hugged him, "Don't cry, don't cry, You are an uncle, an uncle is crying, what do you ask your nephew to do?"

"Ah..." Ma Xiaowang stopped crying, "Does Xiaofan leave with you too?"

"Yes!" Ma Min'er said, "Uncle Xiao Wu hurry up and say goodbye to him."

"But I don't want Fan'er to leave." Ma Xiaowu pursed his mouth, and was about to cry again.

"Don't cry...don't cry..." Ma Miner hugged him to find his son.

Ma Qifeng, Ma Dalang, Ma Sanlang and others had a lot of things they wanted to say to Ma Min'er, but who knew that Ma Xiaowu took up all of their time, and they didn't have a chance to talk to her.

At the farewell banquet, no matter how delicious the dishes are in your mouth, there is no taste. Whether it is a young man or Feng Taishi, the group of people ate and sighed, "I don't know when we will see you this time."

"At least, we will definitely see each other someday in three years' time." Liu Zaicheng ate the most happily and had no worries about parting at all.

"Why..." Feng Jiangyi hadn't finished asking, and he turned around, Niusu laughed, "Yes, why did I forget, the boy is getting married, and you couple must return to the capital."

Xia Zhen nodded, "That's natural."

Liu Zaicheng said again: "I heard that brother Xiao is now the supervisor of the censor. He will go to the north anytime and anywhere, and he will not worry about not seeing Xia Zi'an, do you think so?"

Xiao Lin smiled, ate and drank, and didn't say much. In fact, when Xia Zian walked forward, the emperor asked him to follow him, so he was embarrassed to say anything.

Dafu Ma Jiexuanqi seemed to be joking, but in fact everyone’s expressions fell into his eyes, and he knew it in his heart. For example, Xiao Lin, he might go to the north soon. For example, Liu Zaicheng, he was working for the emperor, and Da Wei was running all over the place. , Of course, the whole land also includes the north, alas, he sighed secretly, they all have a chance to talk again, only myself... no, there are two other horses, he, like himself, can't go anywhere.

Xie Xuanqi, who was lost in his heart, finally found his balance, and raised his glass happily, "Come, come, let's make a toast to our reunion."

"Yes, cheers to our reunion." Liu Zaicheng is also quite good at creating atmosphere.

Zhuang Hao once wanted to learn Taoism from Feng Jiang Yi, raised his glass and smiled: "Master, when will you accept me as an apprentice?"

Feng Jiangyi took a sip of his wine, "I'm not sure, I'm interested, maybe I want to accept it tomorrow, if I'm not in the mood, maybe I don't want to accept it anytime.”

"Old master, you..." Zhuang Hao shook his head and laughed, "Don't give me any hope for this."

"Aren't you a fellow Taoist who asks immortals a lot?"

"They?" Zhuang Hao laughed, "They're all guys trying to catch fame, and few of them have real talents."

Feng Jiangyi looked at Ma Erniang, "In Erniang's mind, I am a magic stick."

"Isn't Master?"

"Haha..." Feng Jiangyi couldn't help laughing, "Yes, this old man is indeed."

Ma Min'er raised her eyebrows: "Master, you say you are a magic stick, but in fact you are really a god."

"Uh..." Feng Jiangyi said: "Why, Er Niang, you are going back to the north, and this sentence has become much more pleasant."

"Master, I can't leave a bad impression on you before I leave. After three years, when I return to the capital, who will invite me to dinner!"

"Haha, you're the only one!"

……

Xiao Lin sat next to Liu Zaili, picked up the wine glass, and the two clinked glasses with each other, "How are you doing?"

"Same as usual." Liu Zaili replied with a smile.

"Busy about giving birth to a son?"

"Uh..." Liu Zaili laughed, "You can say that."

Xiao Lin took a sip of the wine and said softly, "I'm going to the north."

Liu Zaili glanced at him, "I don't know about the north, and want to consult me?"

"That's what it means." Xiao Lin asked with a smile, "Is it okay?"

Liu Zaili readily agreed: "Why not."

"Thanks, Zili." Xiao Lin tilted his cup and touched his cup.

"You are Welcome."

-

In the royal study of the imperial palace, Sima Wanli stood in front of the dragon case, "Return to the Holy Lord, I found out that the king of Beijun has packed up and is ready to leave tomorrow morning."

"Already packed? It's pretty fast." Emperor Yuan Tai chuckled.

"Your Majesty——" Sima Wanli raised his head slightly, peeked at His Majesty, and said softly, "I heard that the King of Beijun has already prepared to leave the capital, and his father-in-law has already planned to leave on the first day of October."

Emperor Yuantai was looking at the notebook in his hand, when he heard this, he raised his eyes.

The moment Sima Wanli raised his eyes, he quickly lowered his eyelids, becoming respectful and obedient.

Emperor Yuantai asked back: "I heard that Prince Liang's mansion is preparing for an engagement. If he leaves, how will this engagement be arranged?"

"Yes, yes, the Holy Majesty is right, what I heard may be the nonsense of people in the market."

"In the future, don't listen to such nonsense."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The small report didn't work, and Sima Wanli wasn't in a hurry. He didn't expect His Majesty to do anything about Xia Zian once or a word. No, if it is slowly poured into the ears of the Holy One, one day it will explode, and it will root out his Xia family and avenge the family's humiliation.

After waiting for a while, seeing His Majesty lowering his eyes to review the papers, his face seemed to be calm, and he continued softly: "My Majesty—"

"What's the matter?" Emperor Yuantai asked casually without taking his eyes off Zhezi.

"Tonight, Grand Master Feng, Young Master Xiao and others have all gone to the Beijun Prince's Mansion to see them off."

Emperor Yuantai stopped his hands, paused for a moment, then raised his eyes again, "Who else is there besides them?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, there are two Fuma Lords, and the King of Yancheng County."

"There are quite a few people."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it seems quite lively."

When Emperor Yuan Tai heard the word 'lively', he almost invisiblely glanced at the young man opposite, "It's getting late, you should go out of the palace too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, and thank you Lord Long En."

Sima Wanli exited the palace, Emperor Yuantai narrowed his eyes tightly, and stared at the copper oil lamp. He didn't know what he was thinking about, his face was solemn, and he turned his head suddenly, which made Fang Yuyuan, the eunuch, startled.

"My lord—"

"Tonight, whose brand did I turn over?"

"My lord, you didn't turn over any concubine's cards today."

"Then make up Ma Shurong."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this old slave will do it right away."

-

Since Xia Zhen was leaving early tomorrow morning, the farewell banquet didn't take long, and everyone left tacitly, "There will be a time later."

"There will be a period later."

... Everyone saluted and said goodbye.

Liu Zaicheng was pulled aside by Ma Miner, "Boy, you have to be nice to my sister, do you know?"

"My daughter-in-law, if I'm not good to her, who is good to me?"

"It's good to know." Ma Min said again, "Your family has a lot of people, and your family doesn't like my Ma family. You can't neglect my sister."

"Whoever dares to look down on the Ma family, I will be the first to beat him up." Liu Zaicheng raised his fist.

Ma Min'er rolled his eyes: "Your grandfather and grandmother look down on Yue'er, how dare you beat them?"

"No... no, how could my grandfather and grandmother..."

"I won't play tricks with you. If you hadn't insisted on marrying Yue'er, your grandfather and grandmother could have found you a girl with a higher class..."

Liu Zaicheng felt guilty after being told by Ma Erniang: "Erniang, why don't we talk about this?"

"Why don't you say it, brat, let me tell you, if you marry Yue'er, she will be yours. If someone neglects your people, will you spare them?"

"Of course not." Liu Zaicheng patted his chest and said, "They look down on my wife, they just look down on me, I don't agree."

"Yes, boy, it's right to have what you say. Xia Zian protects me like this. Don't fall behind him, understand?"

"Understood, I definitely dote on my wife better than Xia Zian."

"Haha, boy, it's up to you!"

"Don't worry, even if you're not here, Yue'er and I's engagement banquet will definitely be the best engagement banquet in the capital."

Ma Min'er stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder, "You are the precious grandson of the old King Liang, the engagement banquet must be the best, the main thing is to respect my father and my family, understand?"

"clear."

For the sake of the Ma family and for the sake of her sister, Ma Min'er really exhorted and instructed her, she kept everything on the bright side, and Xiaobawang agreed very readily, but she didn't know what would happen then, anyway, she tried her best.

In fact, Ma Min'er doesn't need to worry, Ma's daughter-in-law is not an ordinary person, she is the eldest granddaughter of the Grand Master's Mansion, she starts to do things, even Liang Wang's Mansion has to give some face.
