Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 91
Stretching out her hand to block the incoming light, Ma Min'er saw the person coming, her expression changed drastically, and she stood up suddenly, "...you..., why is it you?"

what is me?Liu Zaili frowned slightly, the panic-stricken tomboy in his eyes, although his skin was sallow, but he had a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes, the pupils were black and white, as clear and crystal clear as a calm lake, unknowingly people looked at him more .

No...no...he is not the modern Jin Hanlai, he is the ancient king of Yancheng County, turning his head slightly, Ma Miner quickly looked back, forgetting to face the person in front of him for a moment.

Liu Zaili stared at her for a few times, convinced that he had never seen her, even in the capital, he had never seen her as a young lady in Shaofu's mansion, but he was not sure if he had been peeped by the other party, After all, it is not uncommon for the little ladies in the boudoir in Beijing to peep at him.

What is narcissism, maybe it is Yancheng County King!Ha ha……

Liu Zaili stood motionless at the door, raised his forehead slightly, and looked at the bold granddaughter of the former Young Master Fu, who was stuck there and did not come to salute. The eyes with single eyelids were long and narrow, slightly narrowed, dark and deep. end.

Fu Xiaoyou had never seen Erniang lose her composure like this before. It turned out that she saw that the rich and powerful were no different from herself, so she teased her secretly.

Ma Min'er recovered from her confusion, and took a sneak peek at the King Yancheng who was standing at the door. His eyes happened to be caught by him, and there was a bit of cunning in her careful guessing, which made Liu Zaili look up and laugh.

"Ha ha……"

Being captured, Ma Min'er was very embarrassed, and honestly went to bow in front of him, "The daughter of the people, Ma Min'er, has met King Yancheng."

The corners of Liu Zaili's lips curled slightly, "I only saw Mr. Xiao Lang."

"For the convenience of walking, the women of the people wear men's clothes to greet, please forgive me."

"What did you buy the spinning wheel for?" Liu Zaili asked suddenly.

"Farm girls collect cotton and spin yarn."

"cotton?"

"Yes, the king of the county."

"Okay?"

"Go back to the king of the county, use cotton to spin and weave cloth, and the clothes made are breathable and sweat-absorbent, and they are cheap, which can benefit ordinary people."

"Benefiting the people, she is indeed the granddaughter of the emperor's teacher."

"The king of the county praised it."

Liu Zaili walked into the small inn. Because of his entry, the small inn suddenly became cramped, "What food did you order?"

"Back to the king, two vegetables and two meat."

Liu Zaili took the seat where Ma Min'er sat just now, "This county is also hungry, Ma Erniang, treat me to a meal, I won't make things difficult for you."

"It's an honor for the daughters of the people to invite the king of the county to have a meal. I'm afraid that the wine shop is shabby and the status of the king of the county will be insulted."

Liu Zaili narrowed his eyes and raised his eyes halfway, "Master Ma, does Mrs. Ma know that you have such a small mouth?"

"..." The words were so right that Ma Min'er didn't know how to reply.

"Don't want to invite?"

"No, no, no, absolutely no such meaning." Ma Min'er turned around, "The store——"

"Guest...Guest officer..." The shopkeeper was so frightened by the noble customer that his legs became weak and he almost fainted.

"Bring up all the most distinctive dishes in your family."

"Special...what is special feature?"

"It's a trick that people in the capital have never tried."

"I don't know what people in the capital haven't eaten..." The honest shopkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't turn his head.

"You..." Ma Min'er felt that she wanted to die.

"Haha..." Liu Zaili laughed again, oh my mother, I don't say the best dishes when I treat guests, I choose what I like, and I say the most unique ones, but others can't keep up with her brains, and I'm out of touch, it's so interesting , so interesting!

Ma Min'er turned her head, and smirked at the laughing King Yancheng, "Yes... I'm sorry, King, then we can do whatever we want!"

Liu Zaili held back his smile, "Well, what's the matter?"

"Thank you, Prince, you are such a good man!"

nice guy?Liu Zaili's smile didn't stop, but his smile changed. There is really no one in this world who can say that he is a good person.

She worked so hard all morning, but she didn't have a good lunch. Sitting in the bumpy carriage all afternoon, Ma Min'er felt that she could die once, so she said to Shan Xiaodan, "Go to the front, go to Uncle Peng and say Let the carriage slow down, and slowly increase the distance from King Yancheng."

"Yes, Xiaodong." Shan Xiaodan jumped off the side of the carriage, ran to the front, and told Peng Weiran what Ma Miner meant.

"Okay, I see."

In front of the carriage, a guard went to Liu Zaili's carriage and reported, "Young King, the people from Anlong Trading Company are walking slowly and fell behind."

Liu Zaili leaned on the carriage with his eyes closed, "Where is the tip?"

"Back to the king, if we are too slow, we may not be able to reach the top of the town in front of us, so we can only stay outside."

"Nozou?"

"Yes, the king of the county."

"Then stay in the wild."

"Jun...Jun Wang, no...it's not right."

"I said yes."

"Yes, yes, the little one knows."

In Pingding County, Mr. Tian received another secret letter, "It's almost to Pingding?"

Zhuang Hao was calculating the army's expenses, and asked, "So fast."

"Yes." Mr. Tian held the letter and did not move for a long time.

"Sir, what's the problem?"

"With Ma Erniang's convoy."

Zhuang Hao, who was about to check the accounts, looked up, "How did they meet together?"

Mr. Tian pursed his lips tightly, "Actually, Ma Erniang went to Chenzhou Mansion because of Yancheng County King."

"What?" Zhuang Hao put down his pen, stood up quickly, and reached out to take the secret letter in Mr. Tian's hand, on which the festival between Ma Erniang and King Yancheng was clearly written.

"For a general manager, sir, do you believe it?"

Mr. Tian sighed, "I made a guess. The matter of general affairs management happened to coincide with the matter of Yi Xiang, which happened to give the king of Yancheng an excuse to travel."

Zhuang Hao then analyzed: "Perhaps, the King of Yancheng County has also found out Ma Erniang's background. Apart from the granddaughter of the former emperor's teacher, she is also our little general..."

Mr. Tian nodded, "Your analysis is correct."

"Then do you want to tell..."

Before Zhuang Hao finished speaking, Xia Zhen, who rarely entered the office of his subordinate, appeared, "Sir, you said that Erniang came back, where is she?"

Mr. Tian felt his scalp tingling. To tell the truth, he would rather the little general be like Zhang Nianmei, and go to the building to solve it when necessary. After the solution is over, others will be happy.

But he is not, he is 21 years old, and he is still a boy. For a man at his age, it is really rare to maintain a boy's body. Such a man, at this age, is still like an ignorant teenager , It is easy to fall into love and cannot get out.

People always say that women are easy to get hurt, but sometimes men are more fragile than women, and they can't withstand the blow of love, which may ruin their lives. Mr. Tian didn't expect that what he sighed secretly would become a prophecy.

As for the man, we don't know, let's continue to read the story.

Xia Zhen gave Mr. Tian a good look.

Mr. Tian had no choice but to reply: "That...Er Niang has reached the southernmost point of Pingding?"

"South Water?"

"...Yes, little general!"

Xia Zhen's eyes lit up, "Nan Shui is like cloud water, if you don't reach it for a hundred miles, I'll pick up Er Niang." Excitedly, she was about to turn around.

"Zi'an——" Mr. Tian has always been like a loving father. He has never shouted the two words like today, with the majesty of an elder.

Xia Zhen's foot that was about to lift stopped, and he looked at his husband.

"Zian, you are a high-ranking little general, how can you pick up a little lady at will? This is not in line with your status." Mr. Tian said earnestly.

"But now my mind is full of Min'er and Min'er, and I can't do anything." Like a junior, Xia Zhen told her inner distress.

"..." Min'er called out, Mr. Tian covered his face, are young people so shameless?
At this moment, Xia Zhen is very emotional, showing rare emotions: "Sir, don't you treat me like a little general, I... I just want to pick up Min'er."

Zhuang Hao lowered his head and pretended to be dead.

Mr. Tian persuaded: "Zian, the king of Yancheng County is a dangerous person. Since he left the capital, his assassins have been pulled out. You can't take risks."

"What does this have to do with me picking up Min'er?"

Realizing that he had slipped his tongue, Mr. Tian wanted to slap himself on the mouth.

"Min'er actually went with him." Xia Zhen's complexion changed suddenly, she turned around and strode out, "Prepare the horse, immediately, immediately."

Xiaowen cried: "Sir, do you want to..."

The burrs all over his body are like hedgehogs, they can swell. If he is not allowed to go, how is it possible, Mr. Tian waved his hand helplessly, "Hurry up and prepare, I will go too, and bring the best hidden guards."

"Yes, sir."

The two of Zhuangtian didn't say anything, they quickly put down what they were doing, passed by Zhang Nianmei's room, and dragged him away together.

Slowly, the setting sun faded, the sky began to darken, and it was getting dark.

Shan Xiaodan let go of the curtains, "Little boss, the horse-drawn convoy ahead is also slow, so let's go with us."

Ma Min'er stroked her head irritably, "What are you doing, are you annoying?"

"Little... Xiaodong's family, he is the king of the county."

Ma Miner slammed her head on the carriage, wanting to be quiet, but unknowingly, the scene of meeting Jin Hanlai in her previous life appeared in her mind. That year, she was admitted to Shanghai No. [-] High School with excellent grades. Let my father send me, and report to the school alone with my luggage on my back.

Between the school's teaching building and the dormitory building, because there were a lot of things to carry, he stopped to take a breath, and the passing boys took the initiative to say hello and help them carry their things to the dormitory.

"No, no, really no."

The tall boy smiled shyly, his short black hair looked clean and clear, "It's okay, I'll do it." After speaking, he smiled gently, and reached out to take her insult.

I went all the way to the stairway on the fifth floor of the dormitory, but was blocked by the dormitory auntie, so I was so enthusiastic that I left without letting myself say thank you.

She was upset, but she didn't expect that they met again the next day, and they were assigned to the same class.

From the first year of high school to graduating from university and then to work, they have known each other for nearly ten years. If it hadn't been for the last time I saw him in Yushuidrop, Ma Miner would have regarded him as a classmate and a friend, and that's all And with.

But in Yushuidrop, he has been taking care of his parents, and he even accepts himself as a vegetable. This... If this is not love, what is it?
But the ten years they had known each other didn't seem to be that special. Could it be that he was big, or was it because of his studies, for the sake of others, that he really had to ignore something?
Before I had time to think about it, I saw exactly the same person in this world. Although the surname of the modern person is Jin, and the surname of the ancient person is Liu, they look exactly the same. Could it be that he is also time-traveled or reborn?

Based on Ma Miner's current observation, it seems that they are nothing, they just look alike.Yes, because they look alike, stroked their hair and jumped out of the carriage.

Outside the carriage, the sky was already full of stars. It was May [-]th, and there were two days until May [-]th. The moon was round and bright on the [-]th.

Ah, it's really beautiful, Ma Min'er stretched her waist, put aside the incomprehensible and incomprehensible things for a while, leaned her little face slightly, and the evening breeze in May was slightly smoky.

Liu Zaili had already stepped out of the carriage and stopped by. He saw the tomboy get out of the carriage and walked over slowly, with a smile on his face, "This is the southernmost part of Pingding County. We will arrive in Pingding tomorrow."

Hearing the voice, Ma Min'er shook her head, "The truck is moving slowly, and we can only go to Yunshui Town tomorrow when it gets dark."

"Cloud water?"

"Yeah." Ma Min'er replied vaguely.

For a person like Liu Zaili who has been at the top of the power all the year round, it has long been an instinct to see people and know things. How could he not understand Ma Erniang's small thoughts? The words were picked apart.

"Aren't you going to invite me to your house?"

"Please, of course please! If I hadn't met by chance, I am afraid that even my grandfather would not be able to invite someone as noble as you. Minnv is very honored."

"Haha..." He obviously didn't want to, but opened his eyes and said nonsense. Liu Zaili's smile didn't know whether it was irony or something else.

Anyway, Ma Min'er has a thick skin, don't care about you, I don't want to invite you, since you insist on telling the truth, then I will invite you, who made you a powerful person?

The atmosphere was really not good. After the smirk, there was an embarrassing dullness.

Shan Xiaodan stepped forward cautiously, "Er Niang, what shall we cook?"

"Pull some wild vegetables and serve noodles."

"Xiaoyou and I have pulled out the wild vegetables, and Uncle Peng and the nurses have caught a few fish."

"It's good to have fish, we use fish soup to cook noodles."

"Okay, it's just, Er Niang, my hand...craftsmanship...isn't very..."

"I'll come." Ma Min'er turned her head and smiled brightly, "Your Majesty, would you like a bowl?"

"What do you say?"

"Hee hee, I'm afraid I'll cook poorly and enter the mouth of the King of Bujun."

"Hmph." Liu Zaili sneered, "This county has to eat today."

"Jun Wang read what you said, wait a moment, right away!" After Ma Min'er smirked, she hurriedly took Xiao Dan to cook noodles by the earthen stove that had been built.

When Liu Zaili stopped paying attention, she whispered, "Miss Shan, thank you!"

"Erniang, he obviously looks down on us, why does he still want to go with us?"

"Who knows then!"

The yard of Ma’s house in Xiaowang Village looked deserted under the moonlight, Ma Yue’er and her father stood in the corridor looking at the moon, “Father, the day after tomorrow will be fifteen.”

"Ah."

"Where did you say my sister went?"

"A few days ago, I wrote a letter saying that I passed Xing'an Mansion, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I should be home by now."

"Father, why don't we go to meet the second sister tomorrow?" Ma Yue'er seemed a little excited.

"Well, okay!" Ma Qifeng also seemed happy when his daughter was about to arrive home.

"That's great, Dad."

Niu Dabao's family, a hired worker, lived in the side courtyard of Ma's house. After finishing their work, the couple finally took a breather and sat under the kerosene lamp, soaking their feet and mending their clothes, talking about their family's gossip.

"My mother is looking for me today."

"Oh." Niu Dabao was a little tired.

"It's not about Eldest Sister, nor about Xing'er."

"What's that?"

"It is said that someone asked her to be a matchmaker for the owner."

"What kind of woman?"

"It is said that it is a young widow in the county. The man fell into the water and did not leave a child. He wants to say that he will marry her."

Niu Dabao thought about it and said: "No child, and young, it is reasonable to say that the conditions are good, but I think there is no one who is worthy of the boss, so don't talk about it."

"I've lived with my boss for two or three years. Why don't I know? If you ask me, even if a young lady is assigned to the boss, there is no shortage of roles. There are not many men like the boss who take care of their families and love their children."

"That's right. The key is not only to be able to read, but also to play the piano. An ordinary woman is really not good enough for my boss." Niu Dabao clicked his tongue.

"Well, I know." Shi Chunyue said: "However, Er Niang mentioned in front of me that if there is a suitable one, she will find one for the owner, saying that she is afraid that the owner will be lonely when he gets old."

"Children who care about their father like Xiao Dong's can't find them."

"It's just that, it's really good people facing good people. I hope they will live well forever."

"That's right..." Niu Dabao smiled in a daze, "My boss has a good life, and we will live a good life with them."

"That's right." Shi Chunyue sewed the clothes, turned around to look at her son who was sleeping on the bed, and kissed her, "My little treasure can already know more than 100 characters at the age of three, and in the future, he will also take the exam."

Sure enough, he was the king of the county. The three yuan wild vegetable noodles tasted like a seven-star hotel, with exquisite dishes and perfect dining manners. Even the wild wind couldn't disturb his meticulous expression.

Cut... Ma Min'er was so hungry that she took a bowl of noodles, walked to the side of the road, squatted on the ground, and ate big pieces, hula hula, and finished the bowl after a while.

Xiao Dan hurried over to help her hold the noodles with a bowl.

"Hey, why do I want you to serve it? You eat yours." Ma Min'er avoided the hand holding the bowl, everyone was exhausted, she didn't exploit people!
"Second... Second Niang..."

Ma Min'er followed Xiao Dan's gaze and saw that no one was eating except Yancheng County King.

Look at his own bowl again, isn't the hula sound just now very loud?Damn, it's really... really embarrassing...

After Liu Zaili took a bite, he looked up and saw Ma Erniang, who wanted to die, and his depressed mood finally felt better. The little lady he saw was definitely the granddaughter of the former emperor's teacher?Are you sure it's a petite girl raised in a boudoir in the capital?

He didn't think, maybe the little lady of the civilian family can't make a sound when eating, how could she be so barbaric!Liu Zaili did not hide his disgusted eyes.

Ma Min'er stood up, snorted, went to the stove, continued to serve noodles, filled another half bowl, turned and walked towards the side of the road, turned around suddenly, walked to Liu Zaili's small table, put the bowl on Above, sitting cross-legged on the floor, lowered his head, stretched out his chopsticks and started eating.

"Get up—" Liu Zaili heard the hula sound, put down his chopsticks, and shouted.

Ma Min'er didn't seem to hear.

"No one dares not to hear what I have to say."

"Yan Junwang, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, the fish soup will become fishy when it's cold, it's not tasty."

"Haven't you vomited enough of me?"

Hula... Hula, taking the last bite, Ma Min'er smiled at Liu Zaili with an empty bowl, "Junjun Yan, don't say that, at most, I won't eat in front of you next time." , got up, and waved the folds and grass clippings behind the buttocks with the hand that didn't hold the bowl and chopsticks, the action was ruder than a man.

I... I... King Yancheng spent a long time building up his mind before suppressing the desire to kill someone.

Telling you to follow me, follow me, it's so annoying, if you don't hate me, who will I hate?Ma Min'er didn't know that this guy was so angry, but who would solve her annoyance.

As the night gradually deepened, the moon hung high in the sky, the moonlight poured down, sprinkled layers of silver light, and the stars shone with it in the distant sky, like a dream.

In the distance, the vast fields fell asleep in silence. The green crops, the gurgling river, and the fragrant wild flowers and weeds made the irritable people slowly fall into a deep and sweet dreamland. By the side, there is no time to appreciate the singing of grasshoppers and crickets. The singing of various insects is intertwined, playing the beautiful chords of early summer.

The loess road in the dark night is full of dust, and the ground seems to be shaken by the horses riding past.

Liu Zaili, who was sleeping in the carriage, heard the slight beating sound, opened his eyes suddenly, and drew out his saber with a bang, the action was faster than the reaction of the brain, and the assassin fell to the ground before he got out of the carriage.

I knew it would be no good to follow this guy. Looking at his arrogant and domineering appearance, he definitely had a physique that easily provoked enemies. It was far from Jin Hanlai in his previous life. Jin Hanlai was so gentle that he made himself ignore his existence. .

What else could Ma Miner and the others do besides fleeing for their lives, one was that they couldn't beat the assassin, and the other was that the assassin had nothing to do with them, they couldn't afford to fight with them.

Pfft...boom...

……

The fighting and killing made Ma Min'er and the others almost terrified, they were just ordinary people, why had they ever seen such a bloody scene.

"Everyone go back...quick..."

Seeing that the assassin and Yancheng County King were killing each other inextricably, and unknowingly wrapped up in the place where they escaped, Ma Min'er hurriedly told everyone to continue to flee.

The red-eyed assassin, who couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north, actually stabbed the innocent caravan with his butcher knife. How could this be possible? Those with good skills quickly stepped forward.

"Don't love to fight, everyone flee to the direction of the town." Ma Min'er shouted.

Hearing the commanding voice, the assassin stepped forward with a roar, and thrust his sword at Ma Min'er's vital point—the throat.

"Ah..." Just when Ma Min'er thought she was going to die, a knife and a sword flew past her eyes, and then a black shadow fell down on the bed.

As the black shadow fell to the bed, the other black shadows fled after being stunned for a moment.

Ma Miner, who was still in shock, saw clearly the person holding the knife and sword, "Xia Zhen—"

Surprise, joy... The emotions in Ma Min'er's eyes pleased Xia Zhen who rushed over. He looked at her with a smile on his face. There was only joy in his eyes, no... there was also joy.

Liu Zaili, the young master of Yizhou Township General's Mansion, did not expect to see him in such a way, and saw that he did not chat with his clan and dignitaries, but stared at a little lady without moving.

Could it be that he has become obsessed with women and cannot extricate himself, and the general's mansion is about to decline?

Mr. Tian and the others have already followed up from behind, and hastily came over to pay respects, "I have seen the king of Yancheng, and the king was surprised."

Liu Zaili hooked his lips, took the brocade cloth from the waiter, and gently wiped the blood on the sword, "Can I say that it was in her glory?" I glanced at Erniang Ma from the corner of my eye.

Mr. Tian's face is already impenetrable, how could he admit that the master came because of a woman, and said with a smile: "The king's words are different, if the hospitality is not good, please invite the king Haihan.

"Haihan?" Liu Zaili looked directly at Xia Zhen.

Ma Min'er felt the smell of gunpowder, and quickly avoided Xia Zhen's side. She would not get involved in these matters between the powerful.

Only then did Xia Zhen look at Liu Zaili, and raised her hand, "Don't come here without any problems."

"Xia Zian, at least we sat at a row of tables in the palace, had dinner, and fought in the same restaurant. No matter what, we have become friends. Look at your cold eyes like enemies. It's not fun!"

Xia Zhen rolled her eyes, "Liu Zaili, I already drove away the assassin for you, what else do you want?"

"This is your territory. If I lose a hair, are you not afraid of trouble?"

"I, Xia Zhen, am afraid of everything, but I'm not afraid of trouble."

"Haha..." Liu Zaili laughed loudly, "I don't think you are afraid of anything but trouble, haha..."

Ma Min'er has never heard Xia Zhen say so many words, and she is co-authoring with others. This guy is alone in the Yizhou territory, and he has no opponent!

Xia Zhen looked coldly, thinking why are you so unreasonable, didn't you see that my brother was busy seeing the little lady, so ignorant.

Who is Liu Zaili, Xia Zhen's performance in love between men and women is not enough for him at all, he just froze and remained motionless, wiping his sharp sword over and over again.

Young people, and young people of equal stature, they are really hard to figure out what they are, Mr. Tian bit his head, "Little General, there is a small town more than ten miles ahead, why don't we go there first?" Rest there, and return to Pingding tomorrow morning."

Xia Zhen turned to Ma Min'er and said, "I'm hungry."

"Ah..." Ma Miner, who was lowering her head and pretending to be dead, did not expect him to say such words, "Then...then what do you want to eat?"

"Instant noodles."

"Oh, oh, yes... yes..."

The savior wanted noodles, even if he didn't have them, Ma Min'er would pretend to have them, and hurriedly asked Shan Xiaodan to light a fire, "Fortunately, the stove was not removed, and I'm going to cook another meal tomorrow morning."

Xia Zhen smiled, followed Ma Miner to the side of the earthen stove, knelt down, and wanted to help her light the fire.

How dare Shan Xiaodan let him burn, he looked at Xiaodong's family as if asking for help.

"He likes to burn, so let him burn." Ma Min'er said with a smile.

Liu Zaili was dazzled by this smile, his sallow face was instantly like the bright moon in the sky, fresh and bland but still bright, although it was not breathtaking, it was deeply engraved in people's hearts.

Xia Zhen squatted behind the stove, so there was no abstinence, no general guarding one side, just an ordinary man, smiling and stretching his head to see the little lady's shavings.

"A lot?"

"It's not too much, it's enough for you to eat, and you can also share some with the husband and the others so that they can satisfy their hunger."

"They have dry food."

Mr. Tian and the others curled their lips, you are the boss, who would dare to rob you.
