Chapter 2 Embrace Gui and Lu

Everyone in the room was panicked when they saw Ma Cheng fainting again. At this time, the doctor who was invited arrived and immediately took over and started the treatment of Ma Cheng.

After a long time, the doctor frowned and said, "Old lady, the injury on the son's head is very dangerous. If he is deviated, his life will be lost!"

When Gu heard that his son was so seriously injured, he asked quickly: "Miscellaneous Doctor, what should I do?"

"Old lady, although the son's injury is dangerous, it is not a vital point. Caomin has already given the son a family plaster. As long as you pay attention to your diet, you will be fine after half a month!"

Gu was overjoyed when he heard the doctor say this, so he quickly asked his servants to take ten taels of silver as medical supplies. Ten taels of silver were a lot in the Ming Dynasty. The monthly living expenses of an ordinary family were only five or six taels of silver. The doctor only had two cents of silver every time he went to the hospital. Now that he had so much money, he bowed to thank him.

Gu was worried about his son and asked again: "May I ask the miracle doctor, will this injury affect my son's future? My son will be the top scorer next year!"

The miraculous doctor cursed in his heart when he heard Gu's words: "The top scorer? Who in the entire Zhongdu city knows that Governor Ma's second young master is a waste. He drinks and prostitutes and takes a hundred prostitutes. If he wins the top scorer, he will not be the turn of reincarnation for another hundred times.

However, although the miracle doctor thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say that. Now Ma Shiying is the second-rate figure in Zhongdu City. How dare he point at the monk and scold the bald donkey?

"Don't worry, the old lady, this injury has no effect on intelligence, but the man was hit hard in his mind and should have forgotten the past. So the man can tell him more about the situation at home after he wakes up!"

Gu heard the doctor say this and then he let out a long sigh. When he saw Ma Cheng, who had his head wrapped in rice dumplings on the bed, felt very distressed. Gu came to the bed and took Ma Cheng's hand and cried, "Son! Why is your life so miserable!"

The woman in white next to Gu was Ma Cheng's sister. Seeing her younger brother like this and seeing her mother feel sorry for her son, she couldn't help but cry secretly. Another middle-aged woman was different. He was Ma Cheng's eldest brother Ma Luan's wife, Ma Cheng's sister-in-law. Although she also pretended to be sad, she was not really sad at all.

Ma Luan’s wife Zhang comes from the Zhang family in Ningbo, which is no less than Ma Shiying’s grandfather. Seeing that her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law were crying so sadly, Zhang quickly advised: “Mom, is the second uncle so nothing big? Please ensure your health!”

Gu was born in a military family in Guizhou. His ancestors were Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan who started his rebellion with Zhu Yuanzhang. His brother Gu Congxin was the commander of Guizhou. Gu Zhaoji, the ninth generation of Zhenyuan, was the uncle of Gu. He naturally looked down on Zhang, who was born in a scholarly family. Now, he heard Zhang say this and said angrily: "What are you saying, Zhang? Cheng'er and your husband are a compatriot, and you still say that nothing is important? What are you thinking?"

Zhang was born into a large family and originally looked down on military families like Gu. However, filial piety was the first priority in the Ming Dynasty, and her mother-in-law had great power in the family. Zhang was unable to say a few words, and she started to cry in anger.

Zhang's cry made Gu even more angry: "Why are you crying? Is Lao Xian's words wrong? Your Zhang family is a family of aristocratic families, can't my Ma family deserve you?"

Gu scolded his daughter-in-law here. Ma Cheng on the bed woke up leisurely. He heard crying and cursing in the room, and couldn't help but frown: "Can you be quiet for a while?"

Seeing that his son woke up and lost the mood to deal with his daughter-in-law, Gu quickly stepped forward and pulled Ma Cheng's hand and asked, "Baoer, does your head still hurt?"

Ma Cheng forced himself to sit up, looked at the people in the room and asked, "Mom, my son has a great headache. No one except his mother recognizes them. Who are these two beautiful sisters in the room?" Ma Cheng was not really in a coma just now. He also heard what the doctor said just now, which can be used to explain his loss of memory.

Ma Cheng's sister-in-law Zhang and his sister Ma were both crying, but now they heard Ma Cheng say they were beautiful sisters, and they immediately burst into tears and laughed. Ma scolded: "Second brother, my mother was crying for you just now. Now you can still look so slick, it should be nothing more!"

Gu was in a good mood when he saw that his son could still make jokes, so he didn't care about Zhang anymore. He held Zhang's hand and said, "My son, this is your sister-in-law, not your sister, don't scream!" After that, he held Ma's hand and said, "This is your real sister!"

The aesthetic views of the Ming Dynasty were different from those of later generations. Zhang was a completely beautiful woman in the Ming Dynasty, but in Ma Cheng's eyes, he was a slightly fat middle-aged woman. But his sister Ma was different. Ma was just 20 years old this year, and this age was young in later generations. In addition, Ma was as tall as Gu, so Ma Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw his sister Ma.

Ma Cheng worked as a salesperson in later generations for a while and was very skillful in speaking. He heard Gu joke, "It turned out to be his sister-in-law and sister. If it weren't for the introduction of his mother, his son would have thought that the three sisters were standing in front of him!"

Gu scolded with a smile: "You guy, I think this head injury will make you change your temper. I didn't expect that you are still as slick as before. I really don't know who you follow!"

Ma Cheng held Gu's hand and said, "Everyone said that his nephew is like an uncle, and of course his son is like an uncle!"

"Your uncle is different from you. Your uncle has been fighting against the Shuixi'an family for many years. How could he be as slick as you?" Gu's brother was Gu Congxin, the commander of Guizhou. He was very majestic in his hands.

When Ma Cheng heard Gu mention his uncle, he remembered his cheap father Ma Shiying. He was a legitimate son. His identity as a legitimate son in ancient times was extraordinary. Why didn't this father come to visit him after he was injured?

"Mom, isn't my dad at home?"

Gu sighed when he heard his son ask, "Hey, your father went to Pukou for state affairs. I heard that he had met with the Shige Department in Nanjing and wanted to discuss national affairs. It has been ten days since he left."

Although Ma Cheng was ignorant, he still knew who the Shige tribe was. The only famous Shige tribe in the late Ming Dynasty was Shi Kefa. As for why Ma Shiying went to see Shi Kefa, Ma Cheng could guess it, and he must be supporting the emperor.

Ma Cheng was so excited when he thought of participating in such a major historical event that he wanted to participate in, and quickly asked: "Mom, is your father, do you want to support King Fu as the emperor when he meets Shigemen?" Ma Cheng knew that the first emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty was King Fu Zhu Yousong, and it was supported by his cheap father Ma Shiying, so Ma Shiying was able to call the wind and rain in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

That knows Gu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard from your father that this has happened, but your elder brother said that the Shige tribe wants to support King Gui, and the officials in Nanjing want to support King Lu, but there is nothing to do with King Fu."
