Chapter 64 Stealing Chickens Can't Lose Rice

Seeing Ma Shiying getting angry, Ma Cheng secretly scolded himself for accidentally making the marketing catchphrase in later generations. Those pyramid schemes in later generations like to play this kind of gimmick, what do you think you have participated in the national plan and take the opportunity to cheat you of money.

Although Ma Cheng was not a pyramid scheme in his later generations, there were still things like cheating the old man and the old lady’s pension. What he liked the most at that time was: “Uncle, this is a great thing for the country and the people! But the new national medical insurance policy supports it!”

But Ma Cheng's trick of fooling those retired workers is OK, but it won't work to deceive Ma Shiying, who is also an old liar. Seeing that Ma Shiying really wants to beat him, Ma Cheng quickly shouted: "Mom! Dad is going to beat me to death! The Ma family is about to be defeated!"

Although Gu felt sorry for his son, he felt sorry for his daughter even more. Ma Hongning had a very miserable life. At a young age, her husband and sons died and were swept out by her in-laws' house. Then she thought that she was sold by her own brother when she returned to her parents' house! Gu gritted her teeth and didn't hear it when she heard Ma Cheng shouting for help. She made up her mind that she would have to let this son suffer a little today!

When Ma Cheng saw that my mother was careless, he yelled in a hurry: "Brother! The slut is in the original state, brother is in a hurry! Come and save me!"

The widows are in the original state, and the brothers are in a hurry. This sentence comes from "The Book of Songs·Xiao Ya·Tangdi", which is a metaphor for brothers sharing weal and woe and caring for each other. This is the only original sentence of the Book of Songs that Ma Cheng remembers in his mind. Perhaps the previous deceased Ma Cheng was afraid of being beaten by his father Ma Shiying, so he remembered this sentence in case of emergency.

Ma Luan is a juren, so of course he knows what this sentence means. Ma Luan was also very angry about this matter today. Why didn’t he go home to discuss with his father for such a big thing? Originally, Ma Luan wanted to ask his father to repair him properly regardless of his second son’s life or death, but after hearing what Ma Cheng said just now, plus the eighteen years of his brothers, Ma Luan had to hug Ma Shiying’s legs, and then kneel on the ground and persuade: “Dad, give me a chance to hear what he said, what if there is really something hidden?”

Ma Luan is the eldest son, and Ma Luan is a juren at a young age and has always been regarded as his successor by Ma Shiying, so Ma Shiying can still listen to what Ma Luan said.

Ma Shiying looked at Ma Cheng and cursed: "Okay, I'll listen to your elder brother today. If you don't say a word, I'll hit you!"

Ma Cheng finally got the opportunity to speak. Just now, Ma Cheng followed the opportunity to plead with his elder brother Ma Luan and thought about dealing with it. Anyway, the toad emperor was very stupid, and he would just put all the shit on his head.

"Dad! Mom! Big Brother! This is the thing! You know that I became the guard of the governor. Just after returning from the ancestral tomb outside the city this afternoon, the governor's personal eunuch You Er found his son and asked his son to find a woman for the governor's happiness!"

As soon as Ma Cheng said this, Gu scolded: "Bastard, will the ruling state ask you to find a woman? Come back to find your sister?"

Ma Cheng said with a frown: "Mom, can you hear your son scold him after he finished speaking? This was the case at that time. The regent said that he likes young widows and it would be better to have children. What does it mean to have charm! My son is an honest person, so where can I find such a suitable candidate! In desperation, I can only think of my sister!"

Ma Cheng looked up at Ma Shiying and Gu, and then said, "What my son thought at the time was that his sister was virtuous and kind. Although he was widowed at home, the governor was also a widower. Isn't that just right? The governor had a princess and a sister had a home. If the elder sister gave birth to a nephew in a few years, wouldn't my father and mother have a heart to do it!"

Ma Cheng's words were half true and half false, saying that he gave his sister to charm him, as Zhu Yousong wanted to find a woman to have fun, but this kind of words was the most lie. In addition, Zhu Yousong had a bad reputation, otherwise Shi Kefa could not say "Seven Must-for-no's".

Ma Shiying heard some truths about Ma Cheng and put down the family law and sat on the chair again. When Ma Cheng saw that there was a chance, he continued: "Dad, my son has another idea, that is, my father must enter the cabinet this time, but the Donglin Party's gangsters must deal with his father. If his sister marrys into the palace, then won't we be considered royal relatives? Will the emperor not believe in respecting his father more then?"

Ma Shiying lowered her head and kept silent when she heard Ma Cheng say this. After Ma Luan sighed and stopped talking. Ma Cheng saw that he didn't know what was going on. Did he do something wrong? Relatives of the outside world! How awesome!

Ma Cheng was ignorant, and all his historical knowledge was learned from later TV and online novels. Those palace fighting scenes and time travel scenes were originally a woman who was born into a humble background. After being attracted by the emperor, she gave birth to a prince. Her identity became important immediately, and her family was even more powerful. It was because Ma Cheng had this understanding that she thought of selling her sister to Zhu Yousong. Anyway, her sister was widowed and used as a waste.

However, in real history, relatives of foreign countries were not always so smooth. If Ma Cheng traveled to the Han Dynasty or Tang Dynasty, then relatives would be awesome, but half of them were at risk of being beheaded. However, since the Song Dynasty, rulers of all dynasties had seen the harm of relatives. Since the Song Dynasty, the queens were selected from small families. In the Ming Dynasty, they were even more powerful. In order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, Zhu Yuanzhang even stipulated that relatives were not allowed to hold official positions.

Ma Cheng, a second-generation ancestor, knew this kind of law, so he did a good job today.

Seeing Ma Shiying and Ma Luan bow their heads and said nothing, Ma Cheng asked quickly: "Dad, brother! What's wrong with you? Did I do something wrong with me?"

Ma Luan sighed and said, "Second brother, my brother told you before that you should study more, just to avoid making big mistakes like this now without knowing it!"

"Brother, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Ma Shiying glanced at Gu's side and said, "Madam, please come back, Cheng'er has me to clean up!"

Gu knew that this was a big deal for the man in his family, so he had no choice but to stand up and return to the back house with the help of his maid.

Ma Luan drove all the family members in the house out, leaving only father and son, and then said: "Second brother, it is very clear in the imperial ancestor teachings that foreign relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, and once the women in the family are elected to the harem, father and brother are not allowed to be officials! Second brother, you will cause trouble for your father this time!"

Ma Cheng knew there was this regulation, and that beggar beggar beggar beggar Zhu Yuanzhang had this idea? Ma Cheng cursed: "Dad, is this really what the beggar beggar beggar beggar Zhu Baba said?"

There was no outsider in the room. Ma Shiying glared at Ma Cheng and cursed: "Can your elder brother lie to you if you don't study?"

When Ma Cheng heard this, he felt a chill. This was over. He originally expected that Ma Shiying would be the prime minister and then the sister in the palace would be the queen, so that everything he did would be smooth, but he didn't expect that Ma Shiying would go home and be a residence in this way, so why would he fight against the Qing Dynasty? What kind of clarity?

"Dad, is there no other way?" Ma Cheng was not giving up. How could a living person suffocate to death by urine? There are always ways.

Ma Shiying sighed and said, "No more! It seems that I can only go home to retire!"

Seeing that Ma Shiying and Ma Luan were both mourning, Ma Cheng said, "Dad, what about severing ties with his sister?"

Ma Shiying shook her head and said, "Everyone knows that your sister is my husband's legitimate daughter. What's the use of severing the relationship?"

"Dad, listen to me! You can do this. Isn't the regent to enthrone my sister as a concubine? We can resolutely not accept it. Then my father wrote a letter saying that my sister Ma Hongning was not a wife and dared to marry without his parents. Then, Dad, tell the world that he had cut off relations with his sister. Isn't that enough?"

Ma Cheng's plan was very poisonous, it was just a ruthless person to remove the mill and kill the donkey and pull the birds. Ma Luan cursed when he heard Ma Cheng say this: "Second, why are you so vicious? Can you survive if you make the eldest girl like this? Aren't you forcing the eldest girl to commit suicide?"

Ma Luan felt that Ma Cheng was vicious, but Ma Shiying felt that this strategy was very operational. Ma Shiying was fifty-three this year, and she only had the last chance to enter the cabinet in her life, so Ma Shiying had to seize every possibility to strive to enter the cabinet. At this time, don’t say that Ma Hongning is his daughter, even his own mother, she would abandon it if she said she wanted to abandon it.

Ma Shiying twisted her beard and pondered for a moment and asked, "Cheng'er, can your plan succeed?"

"Dad, the country has not yet arrived in Nanjing to ascend the throne, and you still need your strong support from Dad, so my son feels that it is almost the same!"

Ma Cheng said the same as Ma Shiying thought. Now, only Ma Shiying can take action on Zhu Yousong. If Zhu Yousong doesn't want to go to Nanjing to become a puppet of the Donglin Party, then Ma Shiying must be kept.

Ma Shiying nodded, then took out a pen and wrote a memorial on the table. The content was very simple, that is, his children Ma Hongning was not a wife, and now he has cut off his ties with her, so you don’t have to give me your enthronement edict to the regent, you will give me whoever you love!

After Ma Shiying finished writing, he looked at it, then called a family member and sent him to the imperial city overnight and handed it over to the eunuch Lu Jiude, and asked Lu Jiude to hand it over. Ma Shiying is now a political ally with Lu Jiude, so Lu Jiude will definitely help. Because without Ma Shiying, Lu Jiude will face another eunuch Han Zanzhou when he arrives in Nanjing, which is not a fuel-saving lamp.

After sending off the memorial and the enthronement edict, Ma Shiying said to Ma Luan: "Luan'er, next step you go to the imperial city to see your eldest sister. I will tell her about her father's arrangement! Your eldest sister is gentle and strong on the inside. If you don't know about it, you will commit suicide, so you must stabilize her!"

Ma Luan heard Ma Shiying say this: "Dad, this is all caused by my second brother, why don't you let him go?"

"Now your eldest sister is angry. Isn't it adding fuel to the fire when your second brother goes? It's best if you go!"

When Ma Luan heard his father say this, he had no choice but to bow and take his order. As soon as Ma Luan walked to the door, he was stopped by Ma Shiying: "Luan'er, you told her that it was all your father who was sorry for her, so she asked her to take more responsibility!"
