Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 86
When Ling Ruya arrived at Anlong Commercial House, it was already slightly dark, she got off the carriage, stood at the entrance of the commercial house, looked up, there was a plaque inlaid on the door, with black characters on the wooden background, hanging there was big and square, it was very eye-catching.

"An-Long--"

Qingjin pouted, "Third lady, this Erniang Ma is too scheming, she even brought the little general's name into the shop name."

Ling Ruya's eyes were heavy, "Call the door."

"Yes, San Niang!"

In the back kitchen of the firm, Ma Min'er made a big pot of thick pumpkin gnocchi dessert, which is used as a snack after dinner, and she made a portion, and she asked the chef to make the rest.

"Serve some for everyone. It's cold at night. Eat something sweet to warm your stomach."

"Yes, my little master, I know." The chef shrank his head and replied cautiously.

Ma Min'er picked up the food box and smiled at Xia Zhen who was standing beside her, "Go, go to my office."

"Business room?"

"almost."

Xia Zhen smiled and walked out of the kitchen next to Ma Min'er.

After a while, the people inside and outside the kitchen saw that the little boss and the little general had left, and hurriedly huddled together, "The rumors are actually true?"

"It's not only true, even the kitchen is under the same roof."

"Yeah, even if it's me, my mother-in-law cooks, I don't even touch the kitchen. I didn't expect the little general to be like a follower, sticking to the little boss's side."

"Hey, you want to die, what's with..."

All the people in the group were silent, and then laughed together. Everyone knew it well, follow along, and Anlong Trading Company will survive in peace!
The gatekeeper opened the door and saw that it was a wealthy young lady. He was puzzled, "Little lady, the shop is closed, come back tomorrow to buy clothes."

"Who is going to buy clothes!" Qing Jin had the arrogance of a servant of a wealthy family, "Get out of the way, our master wants to come in."

The gatekeepers couldn't figure it out, seeing that it was a young lady, they felt that there was no danger, so they avoided them and let them in.

Seeing the guards scattered in the courtyard, Qing Jin immediately put away her arrogance and looked for familiar guards, but she couldn't find them.

The leading guard glanced at the carriage outside, and there was the sign of the Little General's Mansion. With a wave of his hand, the guards in the courtyard automatically moved aside.

Qing Jin took Ling Ruya all the way in, the shop assistant saw it and shouted, "Little lady, the shop is closed, please tomorrow—"

"What's the name? We're not here to buy clothes. We're here to find the little general."

"Little General?"

Before Xiao Qiuji could react, Ma Min'er, who came from the back kitchen and was about to pass the corridor on the second floor, heard the sound. She heard the voice, passed through the corridor, and arrived in the courtyard. Ma Min'er raised the lantern.

The dignified and beautiful master and servant appeared in Ma Min'er's eyes, wearing a lavender cloak reaching to the ground, wearing a thick brocade skirt, and a white brocade belt around the waist, looking fresh and elegant.

Beautiful eyebrows like distant mountains, bright eyes and white teeth, straight nose, reddish cherry lips.The skin is as white and tender as snow, and the three feet of green silk on the head is black and shiny. The hairpin is delicate and luxurious, and the nobile is exquisite and luxurious, which complements the outfit.There is an elegant aura exuding in every gesture.

"Cousin, Ru'er greeted you!" Ling Ruya gave Xia Zhen a standard salute, dignified and gentle.

Xia Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xiaowen hurried forward, "Third Lady, are you out so late?"

Qing Jin quickly replied: "My Sanniang heard that the little general is in the city, so she quickly cooked delicious meals and prepared hot water, and waited until the little general returned."

Xiaowen looked at Xia Zhen.

Ma Min'er also looked at Xia Zhen.

Xia Zhen frowned.

Xiaowen said again: "Third lady, you go back, my son will go back to the barracks later."

Ling Ruya raised her bright eyes, "Cousin, the military camp is tough, since you are in the city, then go back to the mansion, Ru'er is waiting for you in the mansion." After saying that, she saluted, turned and left.

Qing Jin pursed her lips and glanced at Ma Miner a few times before turning around and following her master.

Ma Min'er curled her lips, "Hey, your cousin asked you to go back, saying that there is delicious food and drink at home." As she spoke, she slapped the stunned Xia Zhen.

Xia Zhen grabbed his little hand without any hassle, "Pumpkin dumplings are delicious."

Why did the hard words sound like fairy music to Ma Miner's ears, but she showed disdain, hummed, and went to the second floor with the food box.

On the street, in the luxurious carriage, Qing Jin said angrily: "The face is smudged, she looks like a man, I don't know what the little general likes about her?"

Ling Ruya sneered: "If you don't make it so weird, how can you attract your cousin?"

"San Niang, what should we do?"

Ling Ruya narrowed her eyes, "Look for a chance to meet her."

"Yes, San Niang, tell her, don't try to climb high branches, she can't afford to climb high in our General's Mansion."

On the second floor of Anlong Commercial House, Xia Zhen ate two bowls of pumpkin xiaoyuanzi and wanted to eat the third bowl, but was stopped by Ma Miner, "Don't eat, xiaoyuanzi is glutinous, it can't be digested, and it's hard to sleep."

"Oh." Xia Zhen put down her chopsticks obediently.

Ma Min'er stood up and cleaned up the food boxes and bowls and chopsticks on the desk, put them on the ground next to her, and took them away later.

In Qiu Baiyan's office room, his valet stood opposite the desk with a sad face, "My lord, what should I do?"

"Junwang Yancheng, no matter what he does, he will not give up until he achieves his goal."

"But son, the little boss has just given 5.00% dry stock, and our life in Yizhou will be easier. If we do this, wouldn't it be..."

Qiu Baiyan tapped his fingers on the desk unhurriedly, "Maybe, I don't need to worry, as long as I stay here quietly."

"My lord..." Chang Sui showed joy, "Why?"

"Because..." Qiu Baiyan looked outside the door.

The long follower followed his gaze and looked towards the door, his eyes lit up, "I understand, little one."

In a certain restaurant, a few people were eating a big piece, and they were discussing how to get the surnamed Qiu to return to the capital. Suddenly, a few men in black rushed in. They were so anxious that they immediately copied the guy, but the opponent was so skilled that they couldn't resist.

"Boss, boss..."

"withdraw……"

The middle-aged man threw out the chicken leg as a weapon, and the small restaurant was messed up by the battle.

The head in black frowned, "It's a capital accent?"

"Head, do you want to chase?"

The head in black waved his hand, and those who were about to chase stopped.

"head?"

"I will report to my superiors myself."

"Yes, head."

On the second floor of Anlong Commercial House, Ma Min'er looked at Xia Zhen and then at the sky outside, as if he could leave.

But Xia Zhen sat motionless on the chair, and even acted very irritable. Her long stretched legs were put away for a while, and unfolded again for a while. Not only that, but she also picked her hands.

Seeing her gesture, Ma Min'er ignored the other party's attention and kept her eyes on the oil lamp.The eyes staring at the oil lamp gradually turned into red eyes like rabbits.

You said you don't like to talk, what's the point of just sitting, go back to sleep quickly, if you don't sleep, I will still sleep, Ma Min'er held back her impatience, and looked at the oil lamp.

In the room, there was an eerie silence.

Suddenly, with a click, both of them were startled, and both jumped up from their chairs.

"What's the matter?" Ma Min'er looked down at her chair and checked it, "It's not broken! Could it be yours..." She went to check Xia Zhen's chair again, and a seam was broken in the chair leg.

"Hey, man, such a solid solid wood chair, you can sit on it, what are you doing?"

Xia Zhen with red rabbit eyes said angrily, "It's not all your fault."

Only then did Ma Min'er realize that Xia Zhen's eyes were red, "Blame...why am I?"

"I...I..." Xia Zhen went from fidgeting just now to standing restlessly now.

"You... are you in a hurry to urinate, and I'm embarrassed to say it?"

When she was a student, Ma Miner once heard from her dormmates about the embarrassing things about boys and girls dating, saying that it was the first date, because of embarrassment, some people almost suffocated when they held their urine.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Zhen blushed like a boiled shrimp.

"Ah, no, then you...then what are you in a hurry for?"

"I...I..." Xia Zhen started to pick her hands again.

Ma Min'er looked down at his hands, "Is there something wrong with your hands?"

"I'm fine." Xia Zhen was so angry that he almost shouted.

Outside the door, a voice wafted out, making Xiaowen tremble in fright, "Jing...Jing Mo, do you want to go in?"

Jing Mo stood calmly holding his sword.

"Hey, do you want it?"

"If even Ma Erniang can't handle it, no one can."

"Ah..." Xiaowen looked into the door in surprise.

Ma Min'er was frightened by Xia Zhen who was about to get a haircut, no way, when the evening came, she was touched by her affection, and she was fine eating pumpkin glutinous rice balls just now, how come she has become such a virtue now.

Is this time period the time when he became ill?Ma Min'er was so frightened by her reasoning that she almost shrank her head, thinking, no, this guy is sensitive, and she shrank her head, maybe something will happen.

Subconsciously, she took Xia Zhen's hand and comforted him, "Then what's the matter with you?" The words were as gentle as they were.

Xia Zhen, who was anxious and red-eyed, lost all the hair and thorns that were about to swell in an instant.Uh... Ma Min'er felt it, she looked up at him in disbelief.

I saw the corners of his mouth flying up, and let myself rub his hands.

Ah... want to... get close to me!Realizing this, Ma Min'er lost her composure for an instant, and almost threw Xia Zhen's hand.

"I...I like it when you pinch my hand." Xia Zhen, who was shoved, probably realized that the little daughter-in-law was about to let go, and said with a blushing face.

Ma Min'er tugged hard twice, "You like this too?"

"Yeah!" Xia Zhen nodded.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's just comfortable."

Oh my god, Ma Min'er bumped into Xia Zhen's arms.

Xia Zhen, who was hit, was grinning, but unfortunately, no one could see, and hugged the little daughter-in-law, lowered her head, and put her face on top of the little daughter-in-law Mao Rongrong, as if it was the whole world.

Ma Min'er didn't get out of her emotions until Xia Zhen walked away contentedly for a long time, mother, mother, I'm only 12 years old, is it puppy love?Cover your face with your hands.No, no, my heart is already [-] years old, so... Is that an old cow gnawing tender grass!

Ma Min'er felt like she was going crazy. When she saw the broken chair, she stretched her leg and said, "Oh, it hurts me to death."

The newly promoted girl, Xiao Dan, hurried into the room, "Er Niang, what's the matter!"

"No...it's okay!" Ma Erniang put her foot down, "Let's go back."

"Okay." Shan Xiaodan, who often travels in the rivers and lakes, also knows the fun, and asks what shouldn't be asked.

The master and servant went downstairs, Qiu Baiyan was delivered to the door, Niu Dabao shrank his head, Ma Erniang thought she had kept Uncle Dabao waiting for a long time, and froze him, she felt sorry, "Uncle Dabao, cold Alright."

Niu Dabao quickly shook his head, "No...not cold!"

Ma Min'er smiled, turned around and said, "Xiao Dan, let's get in the carriage."

"Erniang, no, I'll go back first and tell my family that I'll officially come over tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully, let your family come over tomorrow, let's settle the employment relationship."

"Okay, Erniang, then I'll go back first."

"I send you."

"No, Brother Xiaoyou will send me off."

Ma Min'er raised her eyebrows, Fu Xiaoyou can do it, this is definitely the rhythm of setting a daughter-in-law.

Fu Xiaoyou scratched her head under Ma Miner's stare, and smiled embarrassedly.

Ma Min'er had no choice but to get into the carriage by herself.

"Good morning, little boss." Qiu Baiyan and his fellows saluted one after another.

But when they got into the carriage, Xia Zhen actually sat in it, "You...what are you doing?"

"Send you home." Xia Zhen replied with a straight face.

Ghosts believe it, Ma Miner rolled her eyes, you just want to cling to me for a while.

Sure enough, older people are transparent, but it’s not like this, whether to go home or not, in Xia Zhen’s nearly 20 years of life, there is no such word, but starting today, it has begun.

From wanting to be sticky at the beginning to becoming a habit in the end, no matter what kind, it will be the continuous extension of love.

Xia Zhen's hands approached Ma Min'er unknowingly, and she was so angry that she picked it up and pinched it, to see if you dare to stretch it out.

As a result, the little general was only as comfortable as... hum... coming out.

Ma Min'er surrendered, opened her mouth, leaned on his shoulder, held his hand, squinted, and fell asleep after a while.Now it's Xia Zhen's turn to kiss her little hands, unscrupulous!

For Ma Min'er, this day has been like a roller coaster, almost killed her in a surprise attack, took in a good girl, fell in love with Xia Zhen and so on.

She was as tired as a dog.It was just tired, she rested her head on Xia Zhen's sky, even if she was frightened by the sneak attack, she was soothed by the warm gesture of the other party who rushed over quickly.

It seemed that Xia Zhen stretched out her hand and needed someone to comfort her. Rather, it was Ma Min'er who was comforted.

Therefore, it is hard to say which of these two people needs whom. Maybe the random pick up from the side of the loess road is doomed to their destined marriage.

It's just...God always likes to test people, can they survive the ups and downs?

When Ling Ruya waited until Xia Zhen, she was so excited that she almost fainted, "Cousin...cousin..."

"Yeah!" Xia Zhen kept pulling her long legs.

"Cousin, I made supper..."

"I'm going to sleep!"

The long legs walked so fast that Ling Ruya couldn't keep up, "Cousin..."

Xiaowen saluted, "Third lady, the little general is tired." He really wanted to tell this guy that the little general was late with Ma Erniang and didn't go back to the barracks, but it wasn't because you were waiting.

"So that's the case, then go and serve your cousin quickly, I'll cook something delicious for my cousin tomorrow morning." Ling Ruya smiled softly.

"Thank you, San Niangzi."

Ling Ruya said: "No thanks, it is my honor to take care of my cousin for my aunt."

The long-legged Xia Zhen paused when she heard this.

Ling Ruya hurried to catch up and saluted, "Cousin, don't worry, auntie is fine."

Xia Zhen turned to look at Ling Ruya.

"Cousin, it's late at night, go and rest quickly."

Xia Zhen turned her head to look at the deep night sky, then pulled up her long legs and walked straight away.
