Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 285
The General's Mansion in the capital, Xia Zhen went into the palace without even entering the door. Ma Miner sighed secretly, not daring to pass on her uneasiness to the children. She got off the carriage and smiled at them, "This is our capital city." s home."

"Mother, is this the place where I was born?" The boss Xia Yifan asked with a smile, "Why don't I have any memory?"

"Hehe, brat, when you left, you were only half a year old, how can you have a memory, thanks to you asking."

The 12-year-old Xia Yifan smiled like a little adult, turned around and stretched out his hand, "Second brother, little sister, come here, brother will show you around."

The third child, Xia Yirong, pouted and shook her head: "I'm tired, I don't want to go shopping." After finishing speaking, she ran to her mother, clinging to her, hugging her thigh and acting like a spoiled child, "Mom, I can't walk anymore, I want to hug her." .”

"Shame or not, I'm already five years old, I still want to hug her."

"Don't be shy, a five-year-old can be hugged by an adult." Little Nuomi Duanzi didn't care, she had already inquired that a five-year-old kid could be hugged by an adult.

"But my mother is also very tired!"

"..." The old mother told the truth, the little glutinous rice dumpling was not folded when she put her fingers to her mouth.

Ma Min'er raised her eyebrows secretly, hey, little girl, you dare to fight with your mother, she will take care of you in minutes.

If Xiao Nuomi Duanzi knew that her mother thought so, she would definitely cry, is this my mother?Yes, genuine replacement.

Shan Xiaodan came over and bent over to hug her, but was stopped by Ma Miner's eyes, so she had to take a step back quietly.

"Boys, take your little sisters. Mom and Dad are going to tidy up the house and arrange dinner. If you get tired from playing, you can find me in the backyard, you know?"

"Yes, my lord!" Twelve Xia Yifan nodded and smiled.

Ma Min'er looked at her 12-year-old sister-in-law, and smacked her lips, meaning, let's go, hurry up and arrange a place to live on my own.

"Sister-in-law, can you let me go!" Xia Xian also wanted to play, why should she let herself stand on her own, she didn't want to go, she ran to her sister-in-law and acted like a baby.

Ma Min'er opened her tender hands, raised her eyebrows high, "No!"

"If I don't go, I just won't go!"

"Don't go?"

"Ok!"

"But whoever said to be a good sister-in-law, who said to be a good example..."

"Ah... ah..." Xia Xian covered her ears, "I was defeated by you."

"My dear, it's not that my sister-in-law wants to force you, it's because your seniority is too high, you can only..."

"Let's go—" Xia Xian convinced her sister-in-law, and her kung fu of nagging was really better than her own mother.

Seeing that my sister-in-law had compromised, Ma Min'er secretly made a victory gesture - yay!
She and Mrs. Xia have the same goal, that is, they must never raise Xian'er like her mother-in-law and become a dodder flower. Even if she can't become a vigorous and resolute headed mistress, at least she must be able to take care of things and take care of her family.

In ancient times, a 12-year-old girl was already a half-grown person, and she could no longer play around like a child. Xia Xian looked at her nephew and niece regretfully, and envied that they could play around freely. Curling his lips, he followed his nurse in charge and the eldest girl into the inner courtyard dignifiedly.

"Mommy, where do we live?"

"Go back to Erniang, the princess said that the small courtyard near the small garden in the inner courtyard is given to you."

"Is there a small garden?"

"Yes, Second Niang."

"That's great." Like all girls, Xia Xian likes flowers and plants. When she heard that there is a small garden, her first reaction was, "Hurry up and find the Qianqiu that my brother made for me, and put it on for me."

"two……"

"Why, didn't you hear me when I spoke?"

The eldest girl looked anxiously at the foster mother, "Old... old madam, princess... all told you to learn the rules?"

"My sister-in-law said that you have to combine work and rest. It's impossible not to let you play on the swing." Xia Xian pursed her mouth and peeked at the mother-in-law from the corner of her eyes, not because she was afraid of her, but because she was afraid that she would sue. , especially the eldest brother and sister-in-law, when it comes to punishment, no matter how many catties of golden beans they drop, the punishment is not wrong, even if they find grandma and father, it is useless.

Thinking of her grandfather and father not coming to the capital, Xia Xian secretly stuck out her tongue and stopped staring at the swing, "Then clean up the yard quickly, I want to rest."

"Yes, Second Lady, this old slave knows." Seeing that the young lady didn't insist, the nurturing mother was secretly relieved. This is the little ancestor, and she didn't dare to sue casually.

Seeing that my sister-in-law had gone to their own yard, the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family leaned over the corridor to look at the sunshine in the sky, "It's very sunny, don't go outside to play, let's go inside quickly."

"But I want to find my aunt." Xiao Nuomi Duanzi felt bored and wanted to go out to play again.

Lan Ting took a step forward, "Third lady, we've been exhausted all the way, let's eat something and go to sleep for a while, when we wake up, the prince should be back, and then, you can ask the prince to accompany you."

"Yes, Aunt Lan is right." The little glutinous rice dumpling was no longer entangled, his tired body finally overwhelmed his fun, obediently ate something and went to bed to rest.

-

Ma Yue'er has been looking forward to her second sister's return to Beijing. She has been looking forward to it for eight years since she attended her wedding, "God, why is my second sister willing to come back? Besides, didn't it mean tomorrow? I have entered the city, so I didn't even go outside the city to pick it up."

After waking up from a nap, she started to deal with the housework. It was not until the housework was finished that someone told her that the second sister was back. She was dressing up and thinking about it.

Liu Zaicheng sat crookedly on the couch, watching his wife tidy up without moving.

Ma Yueer realized that he was not moving, so she stretched out her foot and kicked him, "Clean up quickly!"

"I'm not a woman, what do I need to clean up!" Liu Zaicheng moved to the side, the tigress in the family can't be messed with.

Seeing that he didn't move, Ma Yueer giggled, "Why, are you afraid I'll sue you?"

"Tch, what are you afraid of? We live as a family. I'm afraid that your second sister won't have time to take care of your trivial matters."

"Hey, what you said..." Ma Yue'er smiled, "Who is that? Last year, he went to the north to do business, passed by Pingding, and was beaten up by someone's second sister."

It's really that the pot can't be opened and the pot is lifted. Liu Zaicheng, who is about to reach his thirties, is really awkward. He was suddenly exposed by his wife, feeling uncomfortable, "What nonsense?" Whatever evil he did in his previous life, he was pinched to death by the two sisters of the Ma family in this life, unable to move anything.

"Hmph, I don't know about your flamboyance." Ma Yueer turned around and continued to straighten her hair.

"Mother... Mother..."

"Mother……"

At the door, a pair of little people walked through the door arm in arm, "Where are you going?"

"Hey, my big treasure and little treasure, why are you here?"

"Mother, we hear that my aunt is coming, don't we?"

"That's right!" Ma Yue'er tidied up her hair, turned around and met a couple of children, "Yan'er, Yan'er..." After speaking, she opened her arms and embraced the two little children.

The two little children leaned on their mother's arms while looking towards the couch, "Father, have you been pulled by your mother's ear again? Does it hurt? Do you want Yan'er to blow it up for you?"

Uh... Liu Zaicheng turned over, "Your father has a headache."

"Mother, mother, Daddy said he has a headache, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" Ma Yueer snorted intentionally, "Let him surround the yard..."

"Stop, stop, stop... I don't feel any pain anymore, it doesn't hurt at all!" Liu Zaicheng got up in fright, and grabbed his son and daughter with his hand, "Hurry up and clean it up!"

"Aren't you afraid to go!" Ma Yueer teased.

"My brother-in-law's house, why don't you dare to go, they are not man-eating tigers." Liu Zaicheng bared his teeth and said to his son and daughter, "Yan'er, Yan'er, do you think so?"

"Hee hee, Daddy is a paper tiger."

Uh... Liu Zaicheng was completely defeated by his two children. If he took them out, he would lose his old face. He wanted to howl.

-

It is rare to live in the seventies. Although he is old, Feng Jiangyi is in good spirits. Hearing that the king and his wife of Beijun have already entered the city, and the chess pieces in their hands have not dropped, they directly raised their heads and asked: "Why didn't you report it earlier?"

"Back... back to my lord, the king of Beijun went to the palace as soon as he entered the city, and the concubine of Beijun probably just arrived at the mansion of the king of Beijun."

Hearing this, his hair and beard were all white. Feng Jiangyi sighed, "Although the old man has resigned from office for a few years, the news from the court..." He still understood.

Emperor Yuantai has always been suspicious of the king of Beijun, but Xia Zhen, who is young but not aggressive, has never let him catch him. Their monarchs and ministers have always been like cats and mice, you advance and retreat, I advance and you retreat!

He suddenly thought of something, "Sima Hou recently..."

"Returning to your lord, Sima Hou has been proud of the spring breeze recently, and has been rewarded three times in a row by the Holy One."

Feng Jiangyi frowned, and shook his head helplessly, "It's too rich...too rich..."

"My lord, some people are now proposing that the Holy Majesty make the Sima family the Duke of the country, I'm afraid it will be more prosperous!"

Feng Zhiping interjected: "Ever since Concubine Sima gave birth to a dragon, their family now walks sideways in Beijing, and we soldiers and horses have to stay three feet behind when we meet."

Feng Jiangyi heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the chess game in front of him, "Sometimes, chess players always think that they control the whole game, but in fact..." His eyes seemed to lose focus, and he stared at a certain place in a daze.

"Father——" Feng Zhiping followed his father's gaze and looked at a certain place on the chessboard, contemplating for a moment, and suddenly landed a sunspot, which turned out to be a desperate move, "Father..."

"..." Jiang Jiangyi raised his eyes, "Go and post the post, we will visit the Prince's Mansion in Beijun in three days' time."

"Father, the capital must now stand with the Sima family, or protect itself wisely. Let's go..."

"I'm confused."

"Father..." Feng Zhiping blushed.

"We are relatives of the Xia family, why not visit relatives?"

"Yes, yes, father!" Feng Zhiping was no longer refuting his father.

"The grandson-in-law didn't come back this time, otherwise, we could have a reunion. It's really a bit..."

"Father, do you want your son to write a letter to ask your son-in-law to come back?"

Feng Jiangyi shook his head: "No, maybe it's a good thing not to come back."

"Father?" Feng Zhiping sensed the artistic conception that the wind and rain are about to cover the building from his father's calm tone. Is there any change in the capital?
-

In a certain elegant and secluded high-rise building, you can overlook many scenery of the capital. There is a small table near the window. Three or two middle-aged men are sitting around the small table, drinking and whispering something.

"Master Hou, do you really understand the meaning of the above?"

"Hmm!" The middle-aged man with a mustache rested his wine glass on his lips, his head was slightly lowered, his eyes were upward, and the single fish eye was slightly protruding, full of fierce eyes.

"Then what do you want us brothers to do?"

"One light and one dark, get rid of him for me."

The two understood what he said, "Yes, then get rid of him one by one, we will get money, and you will gain power and favor, Lord Hou."

"Haha..." The middle-aged Hou Ye raised his head and laughed wantonly, "I don't need my power and my favor anymore."

"Then why did you ask us to do such a dangerous thing?"

"I... want to be the lackey of the superior, and help him deal with things he can't handle."

"This..." The two looked at each other, seemingly understanding but not understanding.

The person known as Lord Hou sneered coldly, "I don't want others to do what the superior wants to do, and take the credit of my Sima family."

"Yes, yes, yes." They fully understood these words, "Hou Ye is now under one person in the capital and above ten thousand people, and we will follow Hou Ye in glory and wealth and enjoy life."

Sima Wanli couldn't help but smile, "As long as you get things done, you will have all the glory and wealth at your fingertips."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

-

In ten years, Ma Hui'er has been promoted from second-class Shurong to first-class concubine Shu, becoming one of the four great concubines. The other three concubines of Emperor Yuantai are Concubine Xiao, Concubine Sima De, and Concubine Fengxian.

Hearing that the king of Beijun had brought his wife and children to Beijing, she was very happy, and said to Princess Nineteen, "Your aunt is finally here."

Although the nineteenth princess often heard her mother talk about Aunt Min, she had never seen her before, and she didn't have much affection for her. "I'm still familiar with Aunt Mei, and I still like to play with Aunt Mei's children."

"Yun Le, don't think about playing all day long."

"But the name my father gave me is Yun Le, just to make me happy and free like the clouds in the sky!"

"You..." Ma Hui'er didn't know how to teach her daughter anymore. Before she could say anything, she moved her father out.

Yun Le made a face.

"You, you..." Ma Hui'er said quietly, "If I'm not wrong, your father will definitely call your aunt's family into the palace, and then you will be able to see them."

"Oh, let's talk about it then, if they can be as cute as the children of Aunt Mei's family, I will like them."

"Thank you my son."

"Concubine Mu!" Yun Le smiled happily after being affirmed by her mother, "Concubine Mu, the weather is getting hotter in May, let's make some mild and light snacks for Emperor Father."

"Okay." Ma Hui'er nodded happily, "Go to the small kitchen first to see what ingredients are there, and the concubine mother will have a word with the nanny."

"Okay, concubine mother, then my daughter will go to the small kitchen first." Yun Le happily left the imperial concubine hall.

"Green Qi—"

"Mother--"

Ma Hui'er picked up the envelope at hand, "Send this letter to mother."

"Yes, madam!"

-

In the palace, Xiaohuangmen came in, and reported to the Holy Majesty: "The King of Beijun and the King of Yancheng County are here."

"Let them in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Huangmen turned around quickly.

Xia Zhen and Liu Gongli were led by the small yellow gate, and walked into the main hall. In front of the luxurious and empty main hall, there was a golden lacquered and carved dragon throne. At that time, the emperor was sitting slightly leaning on it, with the carved dragon screen behind him.

He stared straight ahead, and the visitor was wrapped up in the oppressive gaze. If it was an ordinary person, his legs would have been weakened by his stare, but the two county princes walked steadily, Cong Cong Rongrong!
Looking up at the top of the hall, there is a huge carved dragon on the central caisson, and a large silver-white round bead hangs from the mouth of the dragon, surrounded by six small beads. The colorful paintings in the room are gorgeous, bright and pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately, except for the emperor who can look up, whether it is the eunuch servants or the two princes walking, they either lower their eyes or lower their heads, or no one dares to appreciate the caisson.

"Minister, Xia Zi'an respectfully invites Sheng'an, long live my king!" Xia Zhen knelt down, propped his palms on the ground, and rested his forehead on the back of his hands.

Liu Zaili knelt down and performed the same salute.

Emperor Yuantai withdrew his gaze, squinted his eyes, and remained calm.

-

The 13-year-old Yun Le is already a young girl. She is favored by the current emperor. She lives like a fish in water in the palace.

But besides making some food for her father and chatting and walking with her father, she doesn't like to go to the empress dowager and queen. She is afraid that those brothers and sisters will catch her eyes, so she spends more time with her mother and concubine. Take a walk in the garden, and accompany her to sew clothes and make delicious food in the palace. Don't be too beautiful when you are young!

After making horseshoe cakes and jelly jelly with his mother and concubine, he personally brought the food to the side hall, "Eunuch Zhao, is your father there?"

"Go back to Your Royal Highness, the Holy Majesty is summoning the ministers."

"Oh, then please pass these two pastries to my father, and say that Yun Le made them for him."

"Okay, the old slave will definitely hand it over."

The middle-aged eunuch Zhao Xiaoxun finally survived until Fang Yuyuan was out of favour, and climbed to the side of Emperor Yuantai to be the first servant. What was going on in the palace, he was clear, carrying the pastry, and moved to the emperor's side lightly, as if accidentally Similarly, the food box leaked a little seam, and the unique fragrance of the pastry wafted out.

In the silent hall, Emperor Yuantai finally withdrew his majestic gaze and opened his mouth lightly: "It's the snacks sent by Yun Le again?"

"Returning to the Holy One, that's right!" Eunuch Zhao showed a big smile, "In the evening, when I was really hungry, the snacks sent by Princess Yunle were really timely."

"It's already evening?"

"Return to the Holy One, yes."

Emperor Yuantai smiled and said, "You two lovers, please."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia and Liu, who had been kneeling for an unknown amount of time, finally got off the stage for Princess Yunle's pastry, stood up, their legs were so sore that they almost fell off the stage.

Xia Zhen raised his gaze slightly, and he met Emperor Yuantai's gaze. There was a chill in his seemingly smiling gaze, and he hurriedly bowed his head.

"Let Xia Aiqing repay his niece's craftsmanship."

"The Holy Majesty loves you. A princess is a princess. I dare not be a princess."

"Is there anything you dare not be, can't the princess be a niece?"

"Yes... Your Majesty is right." Xia Zi'an wiped the sweat from his temples as if he was very frightened. If ten years ago, the emperor would have believed that he would really sweat, but ten years later, after fighting for so long, Yuan Emperor Tai didn't believe that this guy would be afraid of sweating for a long time, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes turned cold, "Zixun—"

"The old slave is—"

"Send a piece of pastry to King Beijun."

"Yes, the old slave is going."

Xia Zhen took the horseshoe cake with both hands, and raised it above her head, "Thank you, my lord, I'm really hungry, so I won't be polite." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and ate it. After a while, a small piece of cake was eaten .

Emperor Yuantai watched his courtiers eat the cake, he looked down at the cake in his hand, thinking about it for a while, then bowed his head and ate the horseshoe cake.

Liu Zaicheng stood in the hall, looking at his nose and heart, watching the monarch and his ministers fight.

"Zi Li—"

"The minister is here—" Suddenly, the emperor called his name, and with a sharp edge, he hurriedly cupped his hands forward.

"You've been a lot lazy recently!"

"..." Liu Zaili raised his eyes quietly, then quickly lowered his eyes, looking flustered, but in fact, he snorted coldly, lazy?As a courtier, he dares!That is not wanting to die.

"Why don't you talk?" Emperor Yuan Tai ate the last bite of horseshoe cake.

"Uh...someone...someone said that the minister has fewer sons, and the minister is not convinced, and the family is really trying to have a son..." Liu Zaicheng's humorous words did not make people laugh, but they made people feel chills.

why?Emperor Yuantai is nearly fifty years old, and his sons have grown up. Intrigue and gang formation have become an open secret. Liu Zaili's words are alluding.

Emperor Yuan Tai forgot to chew the horseshoe cake in his mouth.

Zhao Xiaoxun didn't dare, and hurried forward, holding the cup with both hands, "My lord, the pastry is dry, moisten your throat."

Emperor Yuantai withdrew his sharp eyes, picked up the cup and drank a couple of sips, then wrapped up the horseshoe cake in his mouth, put down the cup, reached out to take the waiter's towel and wiped the corner of his mouth, "Since Zi'an has already entered Beijing, Then from tomorrow onwards, join the court."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"You too, Zili, don't think about being lazy, do more things for me, and you will naturally have more sons."

"Yes, the Holy Majesty is right, the minister is superficial."

"It's getting dark, let's go back."

"Yes, my lord."

The two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, they saluted Emperor Yuantai together and left the palace.

Emperor Yuantai looked at their backs, narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned his head on the back of the dragon chair, and stared at the bath well without moving for a long time.

-

Dinner was ready, but Xia Zhen hadn't come back yet, and Ma Min'er didn't know if he could come back for dinner tonight, so she was going to wait and see who came back to deliver the news.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Ma Miner prepared gifts for visiting the old man in Ma's old house two days later, and said to the three children, "Don't be naughty in front of your great-grandfather, you know?"

"Yes, mother, Fan Er knows."

"Chen'er, what about you?"

"Of course I am too." The mischievous second child didn't take my mother's words to heart at all. He was hungry and dinner was not served yet. He was eating snacks and had eaten a few pieces of cake.

Seeing that he was about to reach out for it again, Ma Miner patted his hand, "We'll have dinner later."

"Mother, when will I have to wait? I'm hungry right now." Xia Yichen's eyelids are really skinny, and Ma Min'er knows that the child is so sleepy that he's going to sleep after riding in a carriage and playing around in the house.

"Dongmei—"

"Princess, the little one is here."

"Let the children eat supper first."

"Mom, I want to eat with you!" The five-year-old glutinous rice dumpling pouted, also feeling sleepy.

"But mother is waiting for your father!"

"When will daddy come back?" The two sleepy children asked at the same time.

"I don't know either. Eat and sleep. When your father comes back, I'll ask him to call you."

"Mother, you're lying again. Dad came back late, and you never called us."

"Impossible, you fell asleep, okay?" Ma Miner was really wronged by the two brats. No matter how late Xia Zhen came back, she would always watch the children. These two little ones slept like piglets , even if they sold them, I don't know, and I blame her for not calling...uh...

Regardless of whether they are acting like a baby or clinging to others, quickly let the servants take them to eat, wash them, and coax them to bed.

"Boss, you go too."

Xia Yifan was also sleepy, but he was the eldest brother, he had to take care of everything properly, put his younger siblings to sleep with his mother, and then politely said good night: "Mother, you should also go to bed earlier."

"Well, I know, you go to bed quickly."

"Okay, you too, my father said, if you are not told to wait, you have to be obedient."

"Okay, I got it, don't leave Luo Suo." Ma Min'er waved her hand impatiently.

It wasn't the first time that Luo Suo was despised by his old lady. Mr. Xia Yifan was used to it, so he smiled and returned to his room with his personal servant.

When Xia Zhen came back, it was already midnight, and Ma Min'er had already woken up from a nap, "I'm back!"

"Yeah." Xia Zhen took off her coat, "I'm going to see the children!"

"Oh!" Ma Miner went to facilitate.

Under the guidance of the servant, Xia Zhen went to the children's room and touched the little faces of each child. Only then did I feel that I had completed my father's sense of ritual, and returned to the room with a smile.

Ma Min'er had already gone to bed and covered herself with a thin quilt. When she heard footsteps, she opened her eyes again, "Do you want to eat more?"

"No, I'm going to take a shower, you sleep first."

"Oh." Ma Min'er turned over and fell asleep again. When she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright.

When she flipped, Xia Zhen also woke up, and the couple embraced each other, "Yesterday I had dinner with Liu Zaili quite late."

"Ah."

Ma Min'er laughed, "It's not tasty!"

Xia Zhen snorted lightly, "Who doesn't have a young girl."

Ma Min'er punched him on the chest, "How about the Holy Majesty?"

"I didn't ask anything about the north at all."

"The Great Wei Dynasty belongs to him, so he is not afraid that the Liao people will capture Liangzhou City?" Ma Min was not angry.

"Of course I'm afraid, but the claws under his command aren't for nothing. Of course they know the strength of the North."

Ma Min'er said: "No matter how strong you are, what's the point of transferring you, the chief general, to Beijing?"

"Still using the old method, not only attacking the Liao people, but also consuming my Xia family's troops."

"Ah..." Ma Min'er pressed her small face against his chest, "I really want to run up to the emperor and tell him that the Xia family has no intention of taking the throne, so you can sit on the dragon chair with peace of mind."

Xia Zhen shook her head: "The more you talk about it, the less he will believe it."

"I know, I'm just talking out of anger." Ma Min'er said helplessly, "Let's sleep a little longer."

"No, I have to get up and go to court."

"Ah, going to morning court?"

"Ah."

"Oh." Ma Min'er jumped up, "Then I'll make arrangements."

Xia Zhen held her down, "Don't be too busy, I've already told Xiaowen and his wife, they will make arrangements."

Ma Min'er didn't insist on getting up after thinking about it, "I'm really tired, I really can't get up."

"Go back to sleep again."

"it is good."

Xia Zhen got up, and Ma Min'er fell asleep again unknowingly amidst the sound of her husband getting dressed!When she woke up again, it was already bright, and the servants and nuns around her had already finished the tasks she arranged yesterday.

Before breakfast was finished, my sister's family arrived.

"Second Sister...Second Sister..."

"Yue'er..." In the blink of an eye, the Ma sisters cried after not seeing each other for nearly eight years.

"Second sister...Second sister, you said you came to the capital, why don't you always come..."

"I..." Ma Min'er couldn't give a reason, and it was hard to say this reason.

……

I don't know how long they cried before the two sisters calmed down. Ma Yueer wiped away her tears, "The one who came to see you last night was held back by him."

After speaking, he stared at his husband fiercely.

Liu Zaicheng smiled embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that the second sister will be tired just after arriving."

"That's the truth." Ma Min'er nodded, "Yue'er, don't blame him, he's thoughtful."

"I just said that the second sister is reasonable and understands what I do, and it really is..."

Ma Min'er glared at him, "Don't worry about playing tricks on yourself, let me hug my nephew and niece quickly."

Liu Xiangyan and Liu Yaner are two little children, one is seven years old and the other is five years old. They are dressed up like little fairies by their mothers. They stand cutely in front of Ma Miner, looking at her with big eyes. .

These two children mostly follow their father's appearance, with a "baby face" that everyone loves, personable, heroic, really handsome and cute.

"Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, come, come to Auntie!" Really Auntie smiled, and Ma Miner opened her arms to welcome the two cuties.

The two little guys seemed to be a bit unfamiliar and stood still.

"Go, this is your omnipotent aunt!" Liu Zaicheng saw that the two cubs were so shy, he was ashamed, and hurried to coax them.

Uh... omnipotent? "Can I go up the mountain, or go down to the sea?" Ma Min'er raised her eyebrows and looked at her unreliable brother-in-law.

"Hee hee, this is not for you to win the favor of the children, why are you so serious."

This guy dared to speak glibly in front of the children. If it wasn't for the purpose of establishing his image as a father, Ma Min'er almost beat him up, ignored him, and turned around, "Dongmei, go and bring Fan'er and the others over, Ximei, go and kill me!" Bring the gifts for Xiaoyan and Xiaoyan."

"Yes, princess."

Hearing the gift, the two little guys frowned unconsciously. I heard that my aunt likes weird and novel things. Could it be that this time she also brought us a very special gift?

Indeed, he brought a very special gift. For Liu Zaicheng, he is a nobleman, and his children have never played with anything, so what Ma Miner brought is really not something from this era, but a modern one. There are scooters that children often play with, some with hand-held scooters, and skating scooters for teenagers. Of course, there are also simple small bicycles.

"Wow...wow..."

"Wow……"

When the toy was unveiled, the two children were amazed, it was really something they had never seen before.

Liu Zaicheng was one step ahead of his children, and took the walking scooter, "Why didn't I see this toy when I went to your place last year?" Because of business reasons, he went to Liangzhou City every now and then to meet Ma Miner. A family meeting.

Before the child could play, Liu Zaicheng, who was already a father, started to play first. Holding the scooter given to his daughter, he took a stroll in the main hall.

"Father, how's it going? Is it fun?" Liu Xiangyan couldn't help running after his father, asking as he ran.

"Fun, fun..." Liu Zai turned 27 and skating like a child, enjoying himself.

Ma Min'er looked at her younger sister, "Didn't you bring an older son?"

"Almost." Ma Yueer laughed.

"Haha..." Ma Min'er laughed. Fortunately, I forced him to be able to make money, otherwise he was really a second-generation ancestor. "How is the old Liang Wang and his wife?"

"I'm getting older, I don't come out much, and I have to speak loudly to hear it.

"That's right, they are all seeing their great-grandsons." Ma Min'er sighed!

The kid Liu Xiangyan finally snatched the scooter from his father. He stepped on it with one foot, but almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his father was there to support him, otherwise he would have knocked out two front teeth.

"Find the feeling of balance first!" Xia Yifan pointed out with a smile after entering the main hall.

"Stinky boy, is your dad right? Don't just watch your dad step up and fly, that's your old..."

Damn, my father is so noisy, he hurriedly dragged the car to the big cousin whom he met for the first time, and he didn't care about being shy: "Big cousin, then you can teach me..."

"Okay!" Xia Yifan was the oldest among the children, except for my sister-in-law, "This place is small, let's go outside to play!"

"That's great." Seven-year-old Liu Xiangyan was so happy when he heard that he could play, he was carved out of the same mold as his father.

The five-year-old Xiao Nizi was stunned when she saw her brothers run away, what about me?The five-year-old Xia Yirong also ran after her. While running, she saw that the little girl who was about her age didn't move. After thinking about it, she ran back and grabbed her hand, "Come on, that kid's skateboard is my mother's." It was given to you, how could your brother snatch it away!"

"Ah, it's mine?"

"Yes!"

Just when everyone thought that the two girls would run out to ask for a car, Liu Ruoyan let out a 'wow' and burst into tears: "I want my car, I want my car..." The little girl Xia Yirong fled to her mother in fright. Holding her thigh, he was puzzled and seemed to have made some mistake.

Mother... Ma Yue'er had a headache, and she was so angry that she said to Liu Zai, "Your daughter, you can coax her away."

"I'll coax you!" Liu Zaicheng rubbed his nose, ran to his daughter, hugged her, and shouted boldly: "Go, dad will take you to get it back."

"Wow..." The little girl cried even louder, "You can't beat brother..."

"Joke, how could your father not be able to grab a kid."

"He'll roll in front of you," the little girl said, crying.

Uh...it seems...really...Liu Zaicheng went out with his daughter in his arms.

Seeing that the little girl was taken away, little girl Xia Yirong asked her mother to hug her and stretched out her hand.

Ma Min'er is not used to her, "Chasing after her."

The little girl pursed her mouth, saw that there was a guest, she flattened her mouth, and moved a few small steps, seeing that the girl didn't come forward to hug her, there was no hope, suddenly, she rushed out to follow.

When Ma Yue'er was lamenting that other people's children were obedient, Ma Min'er looked at the backs of the father and daughter, "Yue'er, you big pet, small pet, can you bear it?"

"It's not my favorite, it's the old King Liang!"

Ma Min'er rolled her eyes, "Come on, the fifth younger brother was doted on by you before, and now you dote on your children again, do you want to cultivate a second Liu Zaicheng?"

"Hee hee... Sister..." Ma Yue'er put her arms around her sister's hand, "So...so, stay in the capital for a few more days, and help me take care of these two naughty children, just like back then... "

"Wait, stop... Back then, I beat Liu Zaicheng to the point where he cried to his father and mother to beg for mercy. Do you have the heart?"

"Be patient, of course I can bear it." Ma Yueer vowed.

Ma Min'er chuckled, "Come on, let's watch the children play and chat in the corridor."

"it is good."

-

In the yard outside the main hall, on the flat bluestone floor, a group of children were playing around, and the noise could really knock off the roof of the palace.

"Sister, where's your second child?"

Ma Min'er pointed to the one who made the most noise and said, "The one in the middle, the one that dominates the two skateboards."

"This kid is amazing!"

"Why not great? After the old general and his wife knew that the eldest son could not be spoiled, they gave all the doting to the second child and made him lawless."

"Aren't you amazing?"

"No matter how powerful they are, can they bring the second child back to Yizhou Prefecture?"

"what!"

Ma Min'er snorted, "If Xia Zhen saw that the second child was getting more and more out of control, and tried to persuade the second child, I am afraid that he would still be called the bully in Yizhou. During this time, on the road, I would follow Xia Zhen to get up early , Sleeping, patrolling, many bad habits have been changed, but I still can't help but want to bully two scooters."

"Alas..." Ma Yueer sighed deeply, "I think back then, when we were not favored and went into exile, I could enjoy the material things. Only by caring and supporting each other can we tide over the difficulties."

Ma Min'er then sighed with emotion: "The poor have their difficulties, and the rich have their difficulties. In fact, let alone children, even adults may not see the difficulties of the rich, so they can only teach them with all their strength. Don't let these little ancestors grow old."

"That's right!" Ma Yueer looked at the husband in the group of children, fortunately this guy is not so useless that he can't marry a wife.

Marry... Can't marry a wife?If Liu Zaicheng heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would jump his feet. I don't know how many young ladies in the capital are staring at me!

Heh... that's staring at you, that's staring at your piece of meat!

Uh--

-

Zhuang Hao, who practiced immortality, practiced Taoism, and traveled mountains and rivers, heard that Xia Zhen had returned to the city, so he hurried back to the capital from Xicaogou, and arrived just in time for lunch with his wife and son.

"Mr. Zhuang, Zi'an hasn't come back yet."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing a large group of children in the distance, she said to her eldest daughter and second son, "Go play with them."

The eldest daughter, Zhuang Yiran, smiled and stood still, more dignified than her mother, like a princess.

His son, Zhuang Taoran, is also a good young man with a good manners. He is only seven years old, and his standing posture already has a refined demeanor.

Oh my god, after watching a lot of children, Ma Miner realized that the most quiet and worry-free children were Mr. Zhuang's sons and daughters. She looks like an older daughter beside Mr. Zhuang, the corners of her mouth twitch unconsciously, the younger sister raises the eldest son, and Mr. Zhuang raises the eldest daughter, this world is really...

"Sir, the princess please..."

"No, we'll just stand here and watch the children play. It's very interesting." Princess Rainbow waved her hand indifferently. There was no trace of the princess' dominance on her body. Her face was soft like An ignorant little lady.
