Chapter 15: Curiosity

Despite some doubts, Ma Rui finally agreed to the request of his future mother-in-law.

Having a baby can get extra benefits, and there is no time limit, which sounds good for Ma Rui. The only thing Ma Rui has to do at the moment is to help conceal Yang Shibei’s inability to have children and then do whatever she should do.

The entire Fenglin Town was busy and prosperous for the young master of the Ma family, but the protagonist stayed in the house, just like an unmarried daughter, who didn't leave the door and didn't step in the second door.

It was not until the day before her marriage that Ma Rui had no choice but to go out.

I can no longer stay in the house. The originally elegant and unique house must be pasted with red weddings and hang red lights. There are countless red silk ribbons that have been pulled all over the house. The entire mansion suddenly changed from a scholarly family to a rural farmhouse.

The servants who were working back and forth had no time to spare, and were busy decorating and cleaning Ma Rui's house. Even the gaps in the window grid had to be spotlessly wiped, and they wanted to hang red silk on every edge of the house.

So he was helpless. The young master of the Ma family walked onto the street like a second-generation ancestor on the day before his wedding, walking the birds.

This colorful monster already has a new name: Xiaobai.

It is very tacky, but down-to-earth. The colorful aggregates into white. Ma Ruiru explained to this little bird with no white body at all, but in fact Ma Rui was just lazy and disgusting.

Xiaobai's monster ability has been verified by Ma Rui many times. After looking at each other for a while, Xiaobai can make people sleep. The time of effect is related to the cultivation level of the target. It only takes two or three seconds to complete the Qi refining period like Ma Rui. Ma Xiang, who is more powerful, stared at Xiaobai for five seconds but had no reaction. He turned his head and asked Ma Rui what was wrong.

Moreover, Xiaobai will be depressed for a period of time after using his ability, so Ma Rui raises this monster that is telling people for fun. He occasionally suffers from insomnia and does not expect the bird to have any help in combat.

Imagine the battle scene, the opponent shows off his weapons and shouts: Look at the sword! Where is Ma Rui? He takes out a bird cage and shouts: Look at the bird!

Will the other party look at Xiaobai obediently, and the onlookers who don’t know the situation thought Ma Rui was planning to take off his pants!

To put it bluntly, Xiaobai is just a pet. Perhaps according to the way of practicing monsters, he lived for thousands or eight hundred years and absorbed enough spiritual energy in the world and could turn into a human form, but at that time, Ma Rui might not even have ashes left.

"Xiaobai, I will have to add someone in my house tomorrow. Don't show your strength, otherwise you will be caught and baked!" Ma Rui walked and scared the bird in the cage. If Yang Shibei knew that this was a monster and leaked the news, it was estimated that with Ma Rui's strength, Xiaobai might not belong to him.

"Gu." Xiaobai didn't care.

The details have been agreed upon by one person and one bird. Xiaobai can understand people's words, but he can't speak. Every time he shakes his head and nods, he is a little stupid, so he uses a low voice to replace it. One gu says "yes" or "good", two gu says "no" or "bad", and three gu says "not" or "decided".

"Are you going out for a flight today?" Ma Rui asked casually.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a cage or not. Xiaobai can't keep it away if he wants to. The bird occasionally opens the cage, flies out and walks around, and then comes back when he is hungry. Ma Rui was a little worried at first, after all, Xiaobai's feather color is too provocative, but fortunately, Xiaobai can come back safely every time, so Ma Rui no longer cares about it.

"Gu." Xiaobai stretched out his claws humanely, looking eager to try.

Just as Ma Rui was about to open the cage, a despicable and humble voice sounded: "Oh, does the groom still have leisure to walk the birds?"

Ma Ping'an, who had small eyes and a greasy face, came to Ma Rui and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Ping'an, didn't go to the account?" Ma Rui responded casually.

"I have been busy with your big business these two days! How can I be busy with those bad tents!" Ma Ping'an started to work and praised Xiaobai: "Hey, this bird is getting more and more beautiful! The young master is well-raised!"

The flattery that comes out as soon as you open your mouth is always colorful, when will it not be gorgeous?

"Then where are you going?" Ma Rui gently patted the bird cage and signaled Xiaobai to be anxious. It would look a little weird to let Xiaobai fly out in front of Ma Ping'an. After all, I am not raising a carrier pigeon!

"Hi~! Didn't the Yang family stay in a separate courtyard? The patriarch asked me to arrange a spare horse and send some hay, for fear of mistakes tomorrow." Ma Ping'an did not hide his boredom in his heart and complained: "The Yang family is hard to serve even horses!"

"What are you doing when the Yang family lives in a separate courtyard?" Ma Rui was also surprised. The Ma family garden is not in Fenglin Town, but in the back mountain outside the suburbs, there are usually few people living there.

"Look! You don't even know!" Ma Ping'an smiled bitterly, patted Ma Rui's back and said happily: "Your wife has moved in!"

"My wife?" Even the day before the marriage, Ma Rui had not completely changed his mind and did not feel that Yang Shibei had anything to do with him. He was stunned when he heard this title. After a long time of reaction, he asked, "What are they doing so early?"

"It's not too early!" Ma Ping'an explained with a smile: "Tomorrow will be enough for you to work hard! If you don't get it to the other courtyard earlier, you will spend all day on the road!"

Fenglin Town and Yang's Chuiyun Town are more than 30 miles apart. The wedding day is obviously too hasty, so we can only pick up the bride to the Ma family courtyard in advance for a temporary night so that the complicated etiquette will be enough time to complete tomorrow.

Ma Rui shrugged, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and asked casually: "Then why are you empty-handed?"

"The stable is at the entrance of the town!" Ma Ping'an was obviously reluctant and did not want to go at all.

"Or...I'll go with you?" Ma Rui came up with a strange idea.

Ma Ping'an was also stunned. What does this young master mean? If it were someone else, he would definitely refuse on the spot. After all, this is not in line with the rules. What if the Yang family finds out that they can't stand the face. The groom secretly goes in to see the bride the day before the marriage? He will marry him for a day!

However, Ma Ping'an himself was not very good at it. He blinked his eyes and smiled obscenely: "Let's go! Uncle will take you to see the bride!"

So Ma Rui took off his silk robe, put on a linen gown, tied a headband with other friends, and grabbed it in a convoy carrying hay horses and headed to the Ma Family Courtyard.

Unlike the mansions in the town, the Ma family courtyard is built on the mountain, covering a vast area but not many houses. Most of them are courtyard gardens. Except for the Ma clan going up the mountain to worship ancestors or celebrations within the clan, it is deserted and quiet on weekdays, and only a few servants are responsible for the care.

However, today there are many places here, and hundreds of people from the Yang family lived in. Other clans in the surrounding area naturally had to visit them. In addition, the Ma family had to provide guards sent by the landlords, making the cold house at the foot of the mountain in the suburbs of the town a noisy.

Ma Rui mixed in the servant and entered the villa through the side door, followed Ma Ping'an to the attic like a thief. It was the tallest building in the entire villa. At this time, he wore red and green, and the bride lived there without any accident. Moreover, the attic was also an important factor in Ma Rui's time traveling - the original owner of this body fell down from the top of the attic.

"Wow, I didn't die even after falling down from three floors. I'm really lucky." Ma Rui muttered. The three floors here are not the pitiful height of commercial housing in their previous life. Each floor is about five meters long. Including the steps and herringbone roof, it is estimated that the height of nearly twenty meters in total.

"Why don't you say that you have a good fortune?" Ma Ping'an didn't even forget to praise such things, as if he had a good reputation after falling downstairs. He asked instead: "Where is the bird cage just now?"

"It's put at the door." Ma Rui responded casually. In fact, he just released Xiaobai out on the road, and the only thing hanging on the tree near the side door was an empty cage.

"Don't forget when you leave later..." Ma Ping'an was talking when he suddenly saw two servants wearing linen shirts blocking him.

"What are you doing?" The two servants didn't know Ma Ping'an, so they knew they were from the Yang family without asking.

"Oh, I'm in charge of the Ma family!" Ma Ping'an wore a very particular robe and picked up a little bit of posture and said lightly: "Come to inspect, I'm afraid of chaos!"

"The master said that there are so many people, so don't bother you! Please come back!" Yang's servant was not polite at all and directly spoke out to drive him away.

Ma Ping'an was so angry that he was so angry that he was like this? This is the Ma family courtyard!

Just as he was about to have an attack, Ma Rui next to him pulled Ma Ping'an's sleeve and handed him a look and shook his head gently. There is no conflict. If there is a stir, it will be embarrassing to find that Ma Rui is tomorrow's groom!

Ma Ping'an also understood, snorted coldly, turned around and led Ma Rui to the other side.

"The gate is over there!" Yang family behind him shouted in another direction.

"We don't need you to show our own yard!" Ma Ping'an replied in anger: "I'll go and see if there are any things in the warehouse!"

Of course, the words were anger. The warehouse of the other yard was just some firewood, tableware, and decorations. No matter how bad the Yang family was, they would not get it. However, after saying this, it blocked the Yang family's mouth and could only acquiesce the two of them to the small courtyard behind the other yard.

"I really want to go to the warehouse to check it out!" Ma Ping'an became more and more angry as he thought about it. As the chief accountant of the Ma family's accounting department, he was driven away by others when he entered his yard. He felt aggrieved and wished that there would be less things in the warehouse now! You must let your Yang family vomit it twice!

Ma Ping'an turned his head and came to the warehouse door with great enthusiasm. He took out the key and pushed open the door, and carefully counted the dusty pile of rags.

The young master of the Ma family stood awkwardly at the door of the warehouse, looking at the inner courtyard wall that was not very high in front of him. He could climb over it, but considering the consequences of being arrested, he also gave up his thoughts and shouted to the warehouse, "I'll go to the side door to wait for you."

The warehouse was filled with spider webs, dust and rat shit, and Ma Rui didn't want to enter. He felt that he was enduring such a big disgusting and stealing a few pots and pans was considered hard money.

"Yeah!" Ma Ping'an didn't even raise his head, looking at the treasures, as if he was sure that the Yang family servant would steal things from the warehouse.

Ma Rui walked back along the way in, but after walking through the two halls, he turned a corner, and then looked at the veranda that was almost exactly the same on the left and right. The rockery with similar shapes in front and back suddenly burst into cold sweat: No, I'm lost!

This is really embarrassing. The young master of the Ma family got lost in the Ma family courtyard. Who would believe him if he said it?

I guess Ma Ping'an thought so too, so even though he wasted some time to the side door and found that Ma Rui was not there, he didn't think about going in and looking for it. Instead, he comfortably brewed a pot of tea and sat waiting for the young master of the Ma family.

Ma Rui didn't plan to go back to find Ma Ping'an. After thinking for a moment, he raised his foot and walked in the direction of noisy people. The busiest thing now is the gate of the other courtyard. When you arrive outside the gate, you can't be wrong to look for the side door along the wall from outside, right?

Sure enough, after another turn, there were more busy servants and servants back and forth, but Ma Rui didn't know any of them, just looking at where there were more people.

As he was walking, an acquaintance came towards him, but in Ma Rui's eyes he was an acquaintance, and the other party did not know Ma Rui.

Yang Dianfeng?
