Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

283 The Finale 7
"And...he really has him." Xia Zhen stroked his smooth chin: "Then how does he make a mission to the emperor?" What he was interested in was this.

"Do you want me to inquire?"

Xia Zhen thought about it, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let him go."

"Yes, sir, it's all right, the subordinate has retired."

"Hmm..." Xia Zhen just wanted to lower her head to deal with the official documents, but then raised her head again: "Xiaowen is getting married, when will you and Xiao Ren?"

"I..." Jing Mo cried out in his heart, I haven't settled my little daughter-in-law yet, how can I end it?
Seeing the startled Mo with an out-of-control facial expression, Xia Zhen smiled inappropriately, "Haha... people with a bad face like me have already found their little daughter-in-law. Who would have thought that you are still... no, you can't..."

Uh... Only the master dares to say that he can't do it. If others say it, he will probably have to work hard with them!

Jing Mo came out with a face that could stink to death a hundred flies, and now he wants to find a place where there is no one to cry, it's easy for me, how did I know that a young daughter-in-law is so difficult to marry...

"Brother Mo..."

Mo... brother... who is calling me?The stunned Jing Mo suddenly raised his head, and saw the little daughter-in-law trotting over from the other end of the corridor, no... no... the little lady has not agreed to marry him yet, so she cannot be called a little wife.

"Brother Mo..." Xia Xiaoren ran up to him, and gave him a complaining look, "I called you, why didn't you respond?"

"I..." Before he could react, Jing Mo didn't dare to answer like this, he was the most powerful bodyguard around his master, if he dared to say that he reacted too late, that wouldn't be his job.

"You...what's the matter?" Xia Xiaoren found that Jing Mo, who had been expressionless all the time, had an expression at this moment, which felt quite strange, and he never thought that it was actually him who was strange.

"I..." Jing Mo could say that it was because he was worried that you would not marry me, "Why are you looking for me?" When someone blocked you, the most effective way was to ask back.

"I..." Now it was Xia Xiaoren's turn to be speechless in a daze, why did she come here just now?

It's a beautiful spring in April, Xia Zhen hastily finished her official duties, and headed towards the backyard. He was going to accompany his son and younger sister to catch bugs in the vegetable garden. He followed two second-class servants, turned around the corridor, and saw his older brother. The guards and the female guards were staring at each other, as if they were playing a game of 'moving'. They snorted, childish, and glanced at them as they passed by. , so you don’t have to stare blankly here.”

"Grandpa, what did you just say..."

"Grandpa, what did you just say..."

The two spoke at the same time and asked the same thing.

Xia Zhen looked at the guard who said the same thing inexplicably, "I said you are not married, what does it look like to be chattering here?"

"My subordinates would like to listen to the teachings of the prince, and immediately go to the princess to be my master and marry Xiaoren."

It was rare for Xia Xiaoren to put away the appearance of a little boy, and stood behind Jing Mo with the expression of a little girl, and it was the first time that she didn't choke back.

"Hmph!" Xia Zhen sneered dissatisfiedly, "Everyone finds my wife to be the master, annoys her with everything, and let her have a good rest."

Uh...Jing Mo and Xia Xiaoren glanced at each other, not looking for the concubine, but looking for you, the prince?When they looked at the master at the same time, the master only left them a handsome back!

Did Fu Xiao think that he was the first person to get married, but General Gu, Xiaowen, Jing Mo and others all got married before him, "He... why are they rushing to get married? The red envelope is very big?"

Shan Xiaodan glared at him: "Whether the red envelope is big or not, no matter who it is, princes and concubines will treat them equally according to the rules, so don't mutter."

"I know, I'm just joking in front of you, why are you so serious."

"I'm afraid your mouth is slippery, too slippery."

"Hee hee, that's okay!" Knowing what his fiancée reminded him, Fu Xiaoyou smiled and folded the letter in his hand, "Brother Qiu is coming soon, when he arrives, talk to him, and we can go back to Pingding .”

"Brother Qiu wants to stay here?"

"Yeah." Fu Xiao nodded slightly, "there is the Beijun Wangfu here. In the future, we will go back and forth between the capital, Yizhou, Pingding, and Liangzhou, living a wandering life."

"Wandering?" Shan Xiaodan snapped, "Do you understand what drifting is?"

"Why don't you understand? In the year of the severe drought in Yizhou, my grandfather and I wandered all the way and almost starved to death. If it weren't for my cleverness, I would have survived. If it wasn't for my fate to meet the young lady, I would be as good as a master now. Life."

"That's right, if we hadn't met Young Madam, our Shan family would still be a low-level entertainer breaking through the rivers and lakes."

A young couple recalled the past and were filled with emotion, "Oh, let's not talk about it, the wheat is harvested in June, after the wheat is harvested, the general's family will return to Pingding, and we will go back to Pingding and get married in front of Grandpa. It solved a concern of his old man."

"En." Shan Xiaodan nodded.

-

Xia Zhen went to the backyard to look for her son, but she couldn't find her, "Where's Faner?"

"Go back to the prince, and was carried by the old man."

Xia Zhen turned to look inside the room again.

The girl Qingzhu knew that the lord was looking for the concubine, so she hurriedly said: "There are a lot of people who got married recently, not only from the mansion, but also generals and captains from the barracks, so my wife has been in the office all the time."

Knowing this was the case, Xia Zhen put her hands behind her back. In the past, these things were handled by her grandmother and her staff. Now, her grandmother can finally live happily ever after, and the little daughter-in-law will suffer!Then... Just treat her better and give her a shoulder squeeze when you come back at night?
The old couple Xia Shiyong lived their whole life, and they have never been so relaxed and comfortable as they are now. There are sons and grandsons outside, and grandson-in-law inside. They really don’t have to worry about anything. The creases are almost flattened.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father—" Xia Zhen entered the small room and greeted the elders.

"Zian, come here, come here quickly, look at Fan'er, she is exactly the same as when you were a child, very solid." Mrs. Xia smiled so blindly that she couldn't help but yelled when she saw her eldest grandson.

Xia Zhen's face was full of smiles, "Is Fan'er being naughty again?"

"No...you're not being naughty?" Xia Shiyong repeatedly denied.

But Xia Zhen clearly saw that his grandfather's beard seemed to be missing, and the brat scratched his grandfather's beard again. It hurt to think about it. He bared his teeth and sat down. His son is here with you."

"She dares?" Xia Shiyong bluffed.

"She doesn't dare to treat you, but she dares to beat her son."

"I..." Xia Shiyong was choked by the elder grandson's words. The grandson's wife is good everywhere, but she is too strict with the elder grandson. Don't do this...don't do that...even my son and grandson don't dare to intervene.

Little Xia Yifan seemed to understand his father's words, and subconsciously touched his buttocks. Oh, my mother, I ran with my calves out. I just took a step. Without a stroller, he couldn't walk independently. With a bang, my little buttocks sat on the ground , Pained for a second, opened his mouth and cried.

But Xia Shiyong hurried over to help him in distress, "Hey, my great grandson, did you fall..."

Mrs. Xia... Girls and women rushed forward one after another. It was really a flurry of excitement. Seeing Xia Zhen's eyebrows twitched. , "Father, how about we settle down in June and a half?"

"It's up to you."

"I mean, our family will all return to Pingding."

Hearing this, Xia Zetao looked away from his daughter, "Am I not staying here?"

"Father, I've thought about it. I want you to accompany your grandparents back to Yizhou."

"Why?" Xia Zetao asked, "What about Liangzhou and Pingding?"

"Leave it in Liangzhou, I will stay in Pingding."

These words not only startled Xia Zetao, but also made Xia Shiyong, who was coaxing his great-grandson, look up at him, "What does Zhen'er think?" The servants backed away one after another and left the small wing.

"Grandfather, on the one hand, you are getting old, and my grandson wants you to live a leisurely life. My father left you for ten years. I want my father to go back to Yizhou to accompany you, to make up for ten years of time, so that you can enjoy family relationships." joy;
On the other hand, although the current emperor has given the five northern prefectures, he does not want us to really take charge of the five prefectures. We still keep a low profile, as usual. As for me, staying in Pingding clearly will actually develop Qing, Ning, The agriculture in Xiangsan Prefecture not only solves the problem of food shortage in these places, but also regards agriculture as another gold mine of my Xia family. "

Xia Shiyong stroked his short beard and thought for a long time, then nodded, "Zi'an is right, if you want the Xia family to continue to prosper, it is necessary to keep a low profile, okay, grandfather listens to you."

Mrs. Xia said: "I'm not going back to Yizhou, I want to stay in Pingding, I want to see my grandson every day."

"Grandma...Grandmother, I will go back to Yizhou every now and then."

Mrs. Xia didn't believe it, "Go back every three years or five years!"

"No, grandma, my grandson must go back to Yizhou twice a year."

"Twice a year?"

"Yes, once in June, and once during Chinese New Year!"

As a family of military supporters, Mrs. Xia certainly understands that all gains have to be lost. Gains are glory and wealth, and losses are family happiness. It is impossible for them to stay together every day like ordinary people. It was just a moment ago. In other words, it is also a change of direction to let her grandson go back to see them more. Since it has reached twice a year, she is satisfied.

"That's what you said, don't bother grandma."

"Grandmother, see what you said." Xia Zhen hurriedly stood in front of her grandmother, respectfully following a child.

-

Why Xia Zhen boldly left Liangzhou City alone? Of course there is a reason. After a certain amount of development, the four countries of Jin, Liao, Xixia, and Mongolia have already become small countries, just like any family or dynasty. After rapid development, in addition to ambition and aggression to consume resources, there will also be a stagnation stage. This stagnation has human factors, and it is the limitation of vigorous development.

After barbaric growth, if there is no introduction of new production methods, it will inevitably lead to stagnation. Unless there are leaders with outstanding capabilities, bold reforms, and the introduction of advanced productive forces, otherwise, it will slowly disappear in the long river of history.

The internal struggle for power in Jin, Liao and other countries is going on like a raging fire. It seems to be a power dispute, but it is actually a struggle between old and new classes and productive forces. I really don’t know who will win and who will win. The court is beneficial, and it is even more beneficial to the Xia family.

Ling Ruya didn't know that her son had already settled down in Liangzhou City, maybe even if she knew, she wouldn't care. In her mind, mother's value is the inevitable way for her to advance in life. The traitor had already died, so to her, this son was meaningless to her. She had to find another man with power to give birth to a son, and then use his son to reach the pinnacle of power.

But how to let a powerful man marry him and give him a chance to have a son?The domestic turmoil in Jin is the best time. When she heard that Prince Jin was returning to China, she followed him all the way, and followed him, and helped him a lot in the process of winning the throne.

Seeing that the golden prince defeated all the princes and finally stood on the throne, but when he was holding the enthronement ceremony, he was blocked by the old and new nobles in front of the Wang Ling seat.

"Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Looking at the chief of the tribe, the golden crown prince Yelu Haorong asked patiently and kindly.

"Rong'er, you are the crown prince. Letting you inherit the throne is a matter of course. We shouldn't stop it, but the heavens told us that there is a witch by your side. If you don't get rid of this witch, the Kingdom of Jin may cause another disaster. !"

Demon girl... another disaster... Ling Ruya's brows twitched when she heard every word. What do these old guys want to do? If they hadn't given the crown prince their own advice, these old guys would have supported the second prince to ascend the throne, so there is still the prince What's up?

Golden Crown Prince Yelu Haorong looked at the woman standing beside him, "You mean her?"

"His Royal Highness is wise!"

Golden Crown Prince Yelu Haorong frowned, but said nothing.

Seeing Prince Jin hesitate, Ling Ruya hurriedly leaned towards him, with a weeping face, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, this concubine is a hero who helped you ascend the throne!"

When the golden prince Yelu Haorong heard this, he remained calm.

Of course, the old guys in the tribal alliance knew that this woman had helped the prince a lot, otherwise, the throne they held would not be the disobedient golden prince, but the obedient second prince, and this woman must not be kept.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Kill the witch!"

"Yes, kill the witch!"

……

In an instant, in front of Wang Ling, a large group of tribal chiefs raised their arms and shouted, "Kill the witch!"

"Your Highness..." Ling Ruya was frightened by the crazy tribal chiefs, and immediately hid behind the golden prince, "Your Highness...Your Highness, save me!"

"If you save her, you will lose the throne!"

"Yes, if you save her, you won't have a throne."

Golden Crown Prince Yelu Haorong turned his head to look at the woman who had been with him for four or five years, his eyes flashed.

"Your Highness..." Ling Ruya saw the murderous intent in his eyes, and instinctively took a step back, "You can't do this to me!"

It seems disgraceful to rely on a woman to obtain the throne, and because a woman cannot successfully ascend to the throne, it seems even worse. The golden prince Yelu Haorong's eyes were cold, and in the blink of an eye, he pulled out his saber.

"No...no..." Ling Ruya was shocked, she turned around and was about to flee, but there was no way to escape, only to see a flash of cold light, a sharp knife had pierced into her body in her heart, She stared wide-eyed and looked at the man in front of her. Before she could ask why, the knife was pulled out quickly, and the moment blood gushed out, those eyes staring at the man failed to close after all, and fell to the ground .

Can the Golden Crown Prince Yelu Haorong, who ascended the throne in this way, make the Kingdom of Jin stronger?The answer is currently unknown, but a man with a strong desire for power is not a good destination for a woman. They may do anything for power. If a woman doesn't care, she can also try.

-

No matter how hard we try, before last year's cold winter, wheat planting was limited after all, and there were only some short-term cash crops for the summer harvest in June, but it was always better than nothing.

Anlong Commercial Company bought various economic crops that were rushing to plant at a high price, and Ma Min'er brought Fu Xiaoyou back to Yunshui to get married, and Qiu Baiyan took care of these specific things.

Qiu Baiyan sat in front of the desk, counting the total harvest of crops. While he was busy, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs. He smiled slightly, stopped the pen in his hand, got up and greeted the door, "It's hot, why are you walking in such a hurry?" ?" He reached out and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe away the sweat from the visitor's ears.

"I think Big Brother Qiu must be busy and hungry, so I want to bring the food here quickly." The visitor slightly raised the food box in his hand, with a playful look to invite credit.

In Qiu Baiyan's light laughter, petting loomed: "I'm not hungry."

"You lied, since early in the morning, I only drank a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. How can you not be hungry?" Come on, "Brother Qiu, come quickly."

Qiu Baiyan smiled, she was still the little lady in her memory, very nice, walking towards her new wife——Huang Yihan with a light and happy appearance.

Qian Fan has gone through so much, if there are still people who can live purely in front of him, it is not a blessing. There are all kinds of life, let the rest of your life slowly savor it.

Qing Zhi stood at the bottom of the stairs and didn't follow. She was a girl who knew how to handle things clearly, so she wouldn't follow up to disturb the uncle and the young couple getting along.

Thinking that it would take some time for them to ask someone to help clear the table, she walked out of the business, stood on the street, looked at the sunny sky, thought that Hanniang would die alone, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Qiu returned to Liangzhou, Not only that, but when she found out that her master was not married, she hurried over to propose marriage.

It took only one month to get married. It's great that lovers finally get married!

-

"Zilin, they're all gone!" Shu Yueru looked at the man, who was looking into the distance, "When are we going back to the capital?"

The scenery of the northern country is really different from that of the capital city. The sky is vast and the land is vast. Standing on the top of the hill and looking into the distance, the yellow sand and the grassland coexist, and the vastness and life coexist. All the pain and joy in the past are worth nothing in front of them. carry.

He said softly: "When the Holy Majesty appointed me as the seventh-rank supervisory censor, I was still secretly pleased with myself. Until now, when I saw the vast and empty place in front of me with no trace of people, I realized that I want to dominate life, but It is definitely not grasping life in gain and loss."

"Zilin—" Shu Yueru couldn't understand, but she thought, she could understand, that is to let go of the shackles of power and live for herself.

"When Xia Zhen returns to Liangzhou again, that's when I return to Beijing."

"What if he doesn't come for three years?" Daughter Xiaoyu couldn't help asking.

"No." Xiao Lin answered her daughter with certainty, "He will definitely come to Liangzhou again early next year."

Xiao Xun smiled and said, "That's one year, Father, that's great, I like Master Jiang."

"nice! You love it!"

-

Upon receiving the news that his daughter was coming back, Ma Qifeng, who had already returned to live in Yunshui, was as happy as a boy, "Great, we will meet again."

"That's right!" Mo Wanyi never discouraged her husband's enthusiasm, always agreeing with him gently and empathizing with him.

"I really didn't expect Da Lang to be a county captain in a small county not far from Xing'an Mansion."

"I seem to have heard you say that Er Niang almost died in that area, right?"

Hearing this, Ma Qifeng nodded sadly, "Well, fortunately, my second mother is alive again." He fell into the memories of the past.

When Fu Xiaoyou got married in Yunshui, Ma Min'er and his wife took their son and Ma Qifeng to watch the moon on the country road after they quarreled in his bridal chamber at night, and they talked about this incident again.

"It was that day that I met Xia Zhen for the first time."

"Oh..." Ma Qifeng waved his hands, "Is that the general who threw you into my arms?"

"Yes, Dad!"

Thinking of the first meeting with his daughter-in-law and father-in-law, Xia Zhenqing coughed twice, "I was going to pick up Lord Yao, the magistrate sent by the emperor that day, so... I was in a hurry, please forgive me, father-in-law."

"Haha...Fate, fate!"

What a fate!Ma Miner secretly smiled.

Guo Daping followed behind them, secretly thinking, the first person Erniang saw when she opened her eyes was obviously me, why didn't I have a fate with me?Probably aware of what he was thinking, Shi Xiaoe squeezed his hand secretly.

Guo Daping turned his head and smiled. He managed to coax his wife back to marry him. He didn’t dare to immerse himself in the past and not look back. The road of life is long or short, who can really be with it Life is the most important thing!

Small Yunshui, quiet Pingding County, because the whole family of General Zhen Guo’s Mansion has come, people reveal boundless joy in their cautiousness, the old pavilion chief of Yunshui Town is still the same as usual, with the old With a big smile, he approached Xia Zhen, and even became friends with the old general, bringing his own fruits and vegetables to the general's mansion in the county seat every now and then as a guest.

He said that he would send his grandfather and parents to the Beida General's Mansion in Yizhoufu Town. As a result, no matter whether it was the old general and his wife or the general and his wife, they seemed to have forgotten that they were going back to Yizhou.

Xia Zhen smiled at the little daughter-in-law, "I can only let them spoil you for a while longer!"

"If this continues, what should we do if we can't take back this brat's naughty spirit?" Ma Min'er is also very conflicted. On the one hand, she wants to live with them, and on the other hand, she wants to educate her son alone.

"Then... let's find a compromise?"

compromise?Before Ma Min'er could think of a solution, her stomach suddenly turned up, wow... she vomited so confusedly.

"Min'er... are you pregnant again?"

"I..." Ma Min'er covered her heart, "Also... Maybe!"

-

"Haha..." Hearing that his daughter-in-law was pregnant again, the old general laughed from morning to night, even refusing to eat at noon, now he can stay in the right place!

Xia Zhen said helplessly: "Grandfather, you... are too... physically unable to bear it!"

"This is a happy event, and it will only be good for your health. How can it be unbearable!" Xia Shiyong waved his hand, not caring, "I will wait for my second grandson to come out before returning to Yizhou."

Xia Zhen stroked his forehead, well, let's enjoy the family happiness first, and let the rest go later!However, he consciously restrained his son's behavior around his grandparents. He was the eighth-generation eldest son of the Xia family, so he couldn't be spoiled.

Spring went to autumn, nine months passed in a blink of an eye, and in March of the next year, Ma Miner's second baby in another world was about to be born. The excited men of three generations of the Xia family knelt down to the ancestral hall and said, "Thank you for the blessings of the ancestors, and hope The second one is also a man..."

A servant's anxious voice came from outside, "My lord, my princess has a stomachache, I want you to—"

"Here we come... Here we come..." Xia Zhen jumped up and ran, "Min'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!" In a blink of an eye, she arrived at the delivery room and was about to enter, but was blocked by the midwives, "My lord!" , the princess is giving birth, you cannot enter."

"Min'er...Min'er..." Xia Zhen shouted anxiously.

Suddenly, "Wow..." A loud cry of a baby came out of the delivery room, out of General Pingding's mansion, and into the blue sky.

This is the end of the story, my dear friend, let’s see you in the next book!
