Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 93 Civilian Inquiry (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
Pfft... Liu Zaili couldn't hold it back, he raised his head and laughed... Oh, old mother, how can there be such an interesting little lady, so funny, so funny...

Laughing... Laughing, for some reason, a sour taste welled up in my heart.

Xia Zhen walked out of the tent with a twig, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Who... who did it?" It was clear that he was asking the question knowingly, but he was enjoying it.

Ma Min'er stood by the small table, pointed to the bowl and said, "Breakfast is getting cold, come and eat!"

"Hmph!" Although Xia Zhen had a face on his face, the corners of his mouth were flying upwards, revealing his good mood, "Don't think I dare not beat you up."

"The little general, you can beat him after you're full." Ma Min'er smiled.

On this beautiful morning, Xia Zhen's subordinates felt the ease and joy from the little master for the first time. He never said beating people before, but he kicked and slashed with a knife, which made people feel frightened trembling;
But now, he yelled to beat people, but no one thought he would really do it.Xiaowen walked with ease, and quickly brought water from the basin, took tooth powder, handed cloth towels, and waited for the master to wash.

With the pleasant episode in the morning, everyone quickly finished eating and started on the road, walking slowly all the way.

Liu Zaili sat in the carriage, and directly asked Chang Sui to set up the curtain of the carriage, and looked outside. Ma Erniang was sitting on the back of Xia Zhen's horse. And go.

"Xia Zhen, look quickly, there is an oriole flying by."

"Jing Mo, bring the arrow over here."

Ma Miner asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Come down."

Ma Min'er stretched out her hand and pinched the long hand in front of her, "No."

"Oh." The pinched Xia Zhen smiled.

Ma Min'er was so angry that she talked to Zhang Nianmei: "Brother Zhang, there are wild peaches by the roadside."

"Would you like to eat it, my brother will pick it for you."

Ma Min'er glared and said, "Brother Zhang, please eat two and show me."

"I don't want to eat it, it's so sour."

"Give me something you don't even eat, you are still my brother."

"whee……"

……

Talking nonsense, angry with fearless anger, between them, everything is extremely casual, as if there is no noble rank, and they all live comfortably like lowly commoners.

Uh... in Liu Zai's heart, ordinary people live comfortably?
In order to rush back to Xiaowang Village before dark, lunch was settled at a roadside stall. After a while, the group continued on the road.

Liu Zaili's car curtain had been lowered, but the curtain was opened, and his eyes left the dazzling pair of people, and put his eyes on the infinitely wide field beside the road.

The field in May is the most vibrant season. The wheat waves are rolling, green and yellow, like the undulating sea, vigorous and spectacular, and there is no open space at the head of the field. All kinds of beans are planted, and the blossoming flowers are hidden in the fields. The lush plants have withered, and they have produced long and narrow pods.

Sitting on a high carriage, overlooking the distance, the large expanse of fields is like a green sea. The wind blows, the back waves push the front waves, squeeze and make a soft rustling sound, which is really refreshing.

Liu Zaili squinted his eyes slightly. No wonder Yizhou was out of the control of several contenders. Not to mention the entire Yizhou, even if the surrounding areas were pacified, these grains would be able to maintain the basic supply.

Looking up, the clear blue sky, chirping birds, and farmers working in the fields, Pingding County is really rich!
As soon as Ma Qifeng and Xiaoyueer came out of Yunshui Town, they met Shan Xiaoshan who was going home to deliver the letter, "Big boss——"

"Where's Min'er?"

"Xiaodong's family is behind and will be back soon. Let me report first."

"Great." Ma Qifeng's carriage was not going to turn around, and let Niu Dabao continue.

Shan Xiaoshan said with a smile: "Uncle, there is a distinguished guest, the little boss asked me to come back and tell you, hurry up and prepare food and accommodation."

"Is it the little general?"

"There is also a county king."

"What, Prince?"

Hearing the word 'king of the county', Ma Qifeng felt that the life in the capital was far away from him, "Will the king of the county come to calm down?"

"Yes, big boss."

Ma Yueer looked at her father, "Father—"

Ma Qifeng's warm eyes calmed down his daughter's nervousness, "Then let's go back and prepare."

"Okay, Dad."

Ma's mansion was short of manpower, so Shi Chunyue called her parents, elder sister and others to help. Although her skills were not as good as Ma Miner's, she was quite good. In one afternoon, she prepared two tables of dishes and waited for the little boss to follow her. The nobleman is back.

When it was dark, the group finally arrived at Yunshui Town. Qiu Baiyan, Peng Weiran and others stopped at the workshop in the town, unloading the spinning cart and the three looms caught in it.

The spinning workshop is divided into two places, one is Yunshui Town and the other is Pingding County. The goods have arrived, and the rest of the work is handled by Qiu Baiyan and Peng Weiran, and Ma Miner is the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, Uncle Peng and Brother Qiu."

"Should be."

"Then I'll go back first, you take your time."

"Let's go, little boss."

The carriages of Xia Zhen and Liu Zaili stopped at the door of Anlong branch, waiting for Ma Min'er, the master, to deal with the matter.The extraordinary demeanor of the two noble children attracted many people from the upper town to watch.

"The man on the horseback, I know the little general, who is the man in the luxurious carriage?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it."

Someone raised his head: "Shopkeeper Shen, you are familiar with the Ma family, go and ask."

Shen Hou'er was looking at the unloading spinning car, he was interested in it, when he heard someone call him to inquire about something, "What's the hurry, I'll make sure I know it's the nobleman tomorrow."

"Go and go, it's boring."

Ma Qimeng came out of his own tofu shop and saw the sign on the carriage, "It seems to be the carriage of King Ning's Mansion, who could it be?"

After all, Lao Dingtou is the steward of the emperor's family, and he has a good understanding of the affairs of the wealthy and nobles, so he guessed: "I heard that the youngest son of King Ning is walking in front of the palace, maybe he is traveling."

"Yancheng County King?"

"Ah."

"Go and find out."

"Yes, sir."

Just as Lao Ding wanted to inquire, the group followed Ma Miner to Xiaowang Village. He stopped and called the shop boy, "Follow and see who it is."

"Yes, Manager."

Finally arrived home, Ma Miner felt that all the cells in her body had survived, "God, finally arrived home alive."

Now it was her turn to have her hand pinched, Ma Min'er stuck out her tongue quietly, the ancients were taboo about this, "I want to get off the horse."

Xia Zhen dismounted from the horse and reached out to hug the little daughter-in-law off.

Ma Qifeng had already been waiting at the gate, when he saw his daughter, he hurried forward, "Min'er..."

"Father." The cry of father was filled with emotion.

"Okay, good to be back." Ma Qifeng suppressed his excitement, and hurried over to salute Xia Zhen and others.

"This is Yancheng County King in Beijing." Mr. Tian introduced.

"Xiaomin has seen the county king and saluted the county king."

"Master Ma, please." Liu Zaili smiled slightly.

"Everyone, I'm tired of traveling, please come in and have a rest."

"excuse me."

"Jun... the king is polite, please—"

Since Ma's family had almost no servants, Xia Zhen and the followers of Yancheng County King could only do it themselves, serving the master to wash and change clothes.

In Ma's house in the town, Ma Qimeng immediately told Ma Chengzu what he had heard, "Father, why do you think he came to calm down?"

Ma Chengzu stroked his beard and half-closed his eyes, "The battle between the Xiangyi and Turkic prefectures was said to be fierce, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. Not only that, but at the end of the war, the emperor actually replaced the general of the Xiangzhou prefecture. The king of the county may be here for this matter."

Ma Qimeng asked in a low voice: "Father, I vaguely heard that the emperor is seriously ill. Is it the most critical moment to fight for the reserve?"

Ma Chengzu's eyes came over, "You should be your farmer, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Father...Father, I'm just talking in front of you."

"Don't talk about it in front of me, go to the teahouse, and don't mention things about Beijing, understand?"

"Yes... yes, father."

Mrs. Ma looked at her son who was hesitant to speak, and understood what his son was thinking, and said to the old man, "Master, Huier's marriage..."

"Just find a family in the county with a good family background."

"Master, Mrs. Mo's son is good, but if he marries her, it will be messed up with Jian'er's generation, and it is not suitable."

Ma Chengzu was silent.

"Master, there are rumors outside that the little general likes Min'er from the sixth family, look..."

Ma Chengzu looked up at his old wife and son, they looked at him expectantly, and sighed, "Don't look at me, I am no longer the emperor's master or young master."

"Master, Hui'er is already 17 years old, if you don't look for her, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable family."

Ma Chengzu let out a long sigh.

Fu Xiaoyou came out of Yancheng County King's room, turned the corner, saw no one, covered his mouth and secretly smiled, hey, I didn't expect that the county king from the capital would not be able to use flowers, so he was ready to go downstairs happily. Xiaowen met at the stairs.

"Xiao guard."

"Little one."

"Guard Xiao, do you need help from the villain?"

"No, I'm idle too, until the little general washes up and goes down to have dinner."

"Oh, if it's okay, I'll go downstairs first."

"Ah."

Xiaowen watched Fu Xiaoyou go downstairs and walked to the door of the little general, "Is that the one who doesn't know how to use the shower?"

"Ah."

Xiaowen bared his teeth and smiled, "It seems that not only our young general can't use it, but everyone who comes to Ma's house can't."

Mo looked at Xiaowen in shock and coldness, then continued to look into the distance.

Liu Zaili is really not used to standing up in the bath, but when Si elbows down, it seems that standing in the bath is more enjoyable and cleaner. With a slight push, the water will disappear, and with a light pull, the water will return. It's amazing, interesting, interesting!
The sound of the water inside disappeared, and the attendant immediately called out, "Your Majesty, do you want to change?"

"Well, come in."

The entourage hurried in to help him change his clothes and comb his hair.

"Your Majesty, where is the water!" Another attendant came in to pour water, but there was not even a basin.

"It's all gone."

"Flow..." The follower looked at the ground following the eyes of the county king, a small hole was covered with something like barbed wire, but it didn't look like it, "No...you don't need a villain to pour water, does it flow away? "

"Ah."

It's really energy-saving and convenient. The attendant grinned, not to mention the joy.

"Hmph!" Liu Zaili sneered.

The attendant quickly bowed his head and pretended to be dead.

After taking a good bath, Ma Min'er tossed and tossed from head to toe for a long time. After washing, she blow-dried her hair for a long time, gathered it into a ball head, and wore a breathable cotton skirt. Yellow foundation, showing people with natural color.

The feeling of beauty and temperament is really innate. Ma Miner dresses casually and dresses casually, but when she appeared in the restaurant in her true colors, everyone was still shocked by her amazing beauty.

The skin is as smooth as jade porcelain, pink, tender and fair, the aura of phoenix eyes, the shade of willow leaf eyebrows, and the small lips that make people feel a little pouty because of their thickness, are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off!

"Wow, everyone has washed up, I'm the last one." Ma Min'er smiled at everyone.

Liu Zaili, who was seated at the top, was the first to look back, and casually picked up the teacup at hand, his eyes sinking into the water in the cup.

Xia Zhen and Liu Zaili sat side by side, sitting on the right side, seeing the little daughter-in-law, the corners of her mouth fluttered. From last night to now, the happy mood has never stopped. As for the dark yellow of the tomboy, or the bright and bright little girl Madam, to him, it seems that there is no difference.

From another point of view, Xia Zhen's liking has gone beyond appearance, into the inside, even into the bones.

Ma Qifeng walked to his daughter and said softly, "I'll just wait for you."

Ma Min'er secretly made a face at his father, and then said to Shi Chunyue who was waiting beside him, "Aunt Niu, hurry up and start dinner."

"Okay." Shi Chunyue happily lifted the lid of the dish on the table.

A table of delicious dishes appeared in everyone's eyes, and Ma Qifeng, as the host, immediately invited everyone to the table for dinner.

Mr. Tian had already told Ma Qifeng how to arrange the tables in advance, so Ma Qifeng didn't bother, just follow his arrangement and invite people to the corresponding seats.

Xia Zhen sat at a table with Liu Zaili and senior subordinates, and Ma Qifeng sat at a table with a slightly lower-ranking general. They were all men, and there was no place for women.

Although she hated the ancient society where men and women were unequal, Ma Min'er didn't want to eat with these big men, so she took Xiao Yue'er to the kitchen, how comfortable it was to eat.

Xia Zhen wanted to stop the little daughter-in-law, but was stopped by Mr. Tian's gaze. Today's occasion is really not suitable for him to be stubborn, and the corners of his flying mouth immediately became rigid.

Liu Zaili squinted his eyes and smiled.

Ma Qifeng accompanied him with a smile: "Everyone, the humble house is simple, and there are no dishes. Please feel free, feel free..."

……

Xiao Yue'er held her sister's arm and walked all the way, talking all the way to the kitchen.

"Second Sister, I was planning to go to the jewelry store in the county seat tomorrow to buy makeup for Cousin Mei. Fortunately, you are back, let's go together."

"Okay!"

"Second sister, is it dangerous outside?"

"Well, it's okay!"

"It must be dangerous. Second sister, you are smart, otherwise you must have been deceived by bad guys."

"Haha..." Ma Min'er didn't expect her younger sister to think this way, "It's not that the second sister is smart, it's just that you can't have the intention of harming others, but you must have the heart of defense. People with malicious intentions captured it and became their target."

"Oh." Ma Yueer nodded understandingly.

In the small general's mansion in Pingding County, Ling Ruya received two messages at the same time, one was that her parents were coming, and the other was that her cousin left the city early yesterday morning to go out to Ma's second mother.

"San Niang, I heard that the little general went to Ma'er's house in Xiaowang Village when it was dark, but he stayed at her house and never came back." Qing Jin said.

Ling Ruya took a deep breath: "I see."

Qing Jin hurriedly said: "Sanniang, you can't just know!"

"Didn't I want to find her, but she went out to do business like a man." Ling Ruya sneered.

"San Niang, is it useful to just find her?"

Hearing this, Ling Ruya looked at the girl Qingjin, yes, is it useful to just find her?
