Chapter 3: Ironbacked Bristle Porcupine
The Ma clan has been rooted in Fenglin Town for more than a hundred years. As the clan becomes increasingly large, the original ancestral home has been repaired several times, but it still cannot meet the current clan scale. Therefore, the clan leader's direct lineage and younger brother Ma Yue's family have already purchased another property and moved out of the ancestral home.
This house was built with several irregular small apartments and built with the porch. Ma Rui was in the east side room. When the brothers walked along the veranda to the main hall, their mother Tang Can was already sitting at the table. When they saw their sons entering the room, their faces were filled with gentle smiles, but there was also a hint of loss: "Your father is socializing outside today, so he won't come back for a meal."
As the head of internal clan trade, his father Ma Yue has mastered the lifeblood of the economy and has naturally had many social activities. Ma Rui has had a handful of meals with his father in the past two months, which is also a normal state.
However, the mother's subsequent actions surprised Ma Rui. Tang Can pointed to a row of wine jars on the sideboard behind the servant and laughed at the eldest son Ma Xiangchang: "Since your father is not coming back, let's welcome you for your mother!"
In the past, Tang Can was a gentle lady. At least in the past two months of contact, Ma Rui believed so.
But Ma Rui never expected that the calm and elegant mother met her beloved son in March at the dinner table today. The enthusiasm and boldness of the princess in the KTV in her previous life were comparable to the one in the KTV in her previous life. She pulled her eldest son to drink, and kept drinking with her glasses. When she heard Ma Xiang talk about the fresh and interesting things she heard during her travels, her eyes were blurred, her eyes were blurred, her hair was slanted, her clothes were slightly opened, and her skirt was half-removed. Where was there a trace of solemnity of a famous lady?
Compared with the lively mother and son at the dining table, Ma Rui is in a corner that is too deserted, unable to talk or catch the funny points, so he can only watch the cold eyes.
What can I do?
Eat it!
The meal tonight was pretty good, and the iron-backed steel-breeded pork pride was a rare delicacy. The clans with thousands of people distributed a whole monster's hind legs to Ma Yue's family, plus a whole pork neck, which had a profound meaning.
As the saying goes, "Ding's knife, six taels of gold" refers to the pork neck meat, also known as the forbidden corpse. A lot of manpower and material resources were wasted in the clan, and some people were even seriously injured, so they hunted an iron-backed and steel-bed porcupine, but they distributed the most delicious and precious piece of pork neck meat to the Ma Yue family, which shows the status of this group in the clan.
Meat is a great ingredient, but it is a bit wasteful in the hands of these chefs.
In order to remove the fishy smell, the chef added many strange herbs to the pork trotter stew soup, resulting in the soup full of medicinal flavor and completely losing the aroma of pork stew. Drinking it in your mouth is like a prescription.
Roasted pork neck is even more disappointing.
The monster that I just hunted in the afternoon was peeled and boned and didn't have time to marinate it. I hurriedly applied some honey salt and roasted it on the heat. As a result, the temperature of the earth-rammed stove was difficult to control, and the outer layer was charred and not ripe inside. Then sliced it and put it on the table after the plate. Since the time was a little longer, the lard oil overflowed from the outer layer was a little solidified, which greatly reduced the taste.
Ma Rui began to envy Tang Can and Ma Xiang. The two of them drank so hard that they could not eat any good or bad things. They swallowed a piece of barbecue and hot wine directly. Where can they distinguish pork neck or hoof meat?
Soon, Ma Rui got full and listened to his brother telling the outside world with his teeth. Overall, there was nothing new. It was nothing more than some cultivation sects that Ma Rui had never heard of defeating other cultivation sects that he had never heard of, and then involved more cultivation sects. Finally, the sects of the great masters of the Jianghu came forward and sat down to talk, signed an agreement, and the matter was finished.
Before he knew it, Ma Rui felt bored on the branches of the moon. He gently pushed open the dishes and slowly walked out of the main hall regardless of the lively mother and son behind him.
In front of the main hall is a garden. Although this mansion is not as good as the Ma family ancestral home where the clan leader is located, it is much richer than ordinary people. There are all kinds of front and back gardens, east and west wing rooms. The garden does not occupy a large area, but at this moment the breeze is gentle and the fragrance is pouring in, which is suitable for walking and digesting food after meals.
Before Ma Rui could walk a few steps, he heard a riot from the main entrance. Then three or five servants shouted and supported a thin figure and walked towards Ma Rui.
My father, Ma Yue, was drunk as drunk as the mud, and could smell the alcohol that was emitted within ten steps. His usual serious and smart expression had been replaced by the frivolous and lazy after drinking. He didn't even look at Ma Rui in the middle, and walked through the garden surrounded by everyone and walked to the main house in the backyard.
Looking back on the elegance and tranquility of his mother Tang Can in the past two months and his father Ma Yue's seriousness, it turns out that it has nothing to do with Ma Rui's abnormal behavior when he travels over. It is not that Ma Rui's amnesia has caused the distance from his parents, but it has always been like this.
The silent garden was filled with shadows, and the rustling sound seemed to be sneering. Ma Rui said to himself: "It's so miserable. It turns out that you are just a loser, but just a rich second-generation loser."
Ma Rui already understood why the original owner of this body had to climb up to the top of the stairs when he climbed the mountain to watch the moon two months ago, and finally lost his heart.
Because the little people are dissatisfied!
In this family, I want to gain more attention, attract the attention of my parents, and gain recognition from my parents.
Unfortunately, Tang Can and Ma Yue don’t care about these things at all.
In their eyes, having a perfect eldest son has satisfied all the expectations and superiority of parents! Excellent talent and a bright future, Ma Xiang, who is praised by the entire Fenglin Town, may be accepted by the Shanhe Sect in the future, and even the head of the Ma clan is polite. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
As for how the second son performs, it will not affect the rise and fall of the family at all. Whether it is strong or cowardly, it will not affect the overall situation at all. As long as Ma Rui grows up properly within the framework set by the family, be a rich second generation peacefully, be addicted to wine and sex, or keep himself clean, it doesn't matter, no one cares.
What's more, who in the clan doesn't know that Ma Rui's qualifications and talents are a world of difference from his brother?
I only eat and drink for a lifetime, living like a pet dog, without any effort or struggle, waiting for my master to feed him, playing with him in time, and then gradually getting old until I die.
Perhaps the original owner of this body had already seen the future and made a final struggle with death.
"It's really a feces." Ma Rui shook his head, remembered the words of the old man in white coat, and said softly, "Even though the love of parents and the way of cultivation are in front of him, they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, everything is just a flower in the mirror of the moon in the water."
Perhaps realizing that everything was too frustrating, Ma Rui quickly felt sleepy and walked towards his house exhausted.
"Young Master, are you back?" The maid Meier was eating in the side room. When she saw Ma Rui coming in, she immediately started working: "I will fetch water to wash you."
"You eat first, don't worry." Although Ma Rui felt sleepy, it was too early to finish the meal. He felt that he could still hold on. He leaned his head and glanced at the maid's room and asked casually: "What are you eating?"
"Iron-backed steel-bred porcupine!" Mei'er's eyes flashed with stars, and her expression was very satisfied: "But they were all pigs going into the water, and the kitchen was stewed for everyone to try it out."
As a servant in the mansion, it is a good treatment for being lucky enough to taste monsters. Pigs are all the ingredients that the masters and ladies disdained. They have strong fishy smell and look unpleasant, but they are delicious food for the servants who lack meat.
"A good thing wasted!" Ma Rui muttered, thinking of the famous braised pork chops in his previous life, and then looking at the mixed stews of white soup in Mei'er's rice bowl, the regret in his mouth sounded even more heartbreaking than the roasted pork neck.
"Hmm? Do you want to try it?" Mei'er mistakenly thought that the young master Ma Rui's curiosity was also a problem, and wanted to try these porcupine scraps, so she suggested: "It seems that there is still left in the kitchen. I will bring you one?"
"No, I'm a little sleepy after I've eaten." Ma Rui shook his head and walked into his house, thinking that these chefs can even get rid of pig's trotters, not to mention the more fishy pig's internal organs, the taste must be terrible.
Ma Rui, who was lying beside the bed, began to miss the past. His mother was in poor health and her father died prematurely. Ma Rui completed the cooking at home by himself. Although he had not received professional training, his diet was much more refined than the wild food in Qiyuan Continent!
Just as he was thinking about it, the sleepiness came extremely fiercely. When the maid came into the house with hot water, she suddenly found that the young master had fallen on the bed and snored without even taking off his coat.
"Isn't the young master not good at drinking?" The maid Mei'er leaned over to the young master with confusion on her face. She couldn't smell the alcohol even if she sniffed carefully. She wondered why she fell asleep so quickly?
No matter how confused the maid was, she couldn't disturb the young master's sleep. She could only lightly untied Ma Rui's clothes, pulled the quilt cover, and blew out the candle and closed the door.
When Ma Rui woke up the next day, the sun had already risen above his head.
"Ha Qiu~!" An uncontrollable sneeze suddenly ejaculated.
Ma Rui touched his nose in confusion, and sniffed the weirdness that filled the bedroom with uncertainty. He was immediately awakened halfway. Where did the smell of blood come from?
"Young Master, are you awake?" The maid Mei'er poked half of her head through the crack in the half-closed door and said softly: "The eldest master has been here just now. Seeing that you are still resting, you left, so you can go to him if you have time."
"Oh, I know." Ma Rui was still confused about the smell in the room. He accidentally raised his back and smelled it. He actually found that the faint smell of blood seemed to be emitted by his body.
I came back to sleep yesterday after having dinner. Where did the blood smell get? Could it be the uncooked pork neck? Ma Rui didn't think much about it, tidied up his clothes and walked out of the bedroom door.
Mei'er had prepared toiletries and hot water in the outer room, and stood beside the basin holding a towel and a cup waiting for the young master to use it.
Ma Rui put his hands into the basin to wash away the smell of blood, but as soon as he bent down, he froze and stood there in a daze. He suddenly raised his head and stared at the maid with wide eyes. The gleam in his eyes highlighted, making Mei'er look creepy.
"Young Master? Are you okay?" The maid couldn't help but take a step back. The young master's eyes were excited and aggressive, which made Mei'er, who knew a little about men and women, so nervous that her hands and feet were numb. He heard from the old mothers in the mansion that men had the strongest desire in the morning, and the young master was also young and vigorous, so he wouldn't have any ideas, right?
"Am I a metal constitution?" Ma Rui suddenly strangled the maid's delicate shoulders with his wet hands, and even put his nose on the girl, sniffing like a dog, his tone was quick with excitement: "You have a fire constitution, right?"
Mei'er was already shocked by the young master's abnormality. Her body was half-held by the male's broad hands. The warm breath of the young master's nose penetrated the thin clothes and infected her delicate skin. In this situation, the girl was like a thorn in her throat and could only nod her head stiffly.
As the personal maid of the young master of the Ma family, the elders in the clan do not need to deliberately avoid it when guiding the younger generation in their practice. After all, they need maids to serve them, such as serving them, wiping and sweating massage. So Mei'er was fortunate to learn some methods of cultivation, but it was limited to her own cultivation qualifications. She was busy working and serving the young master on weekdays, so she could only learn some basics and stop in the middle stage of Qi refining.
What's more, the young master is only in the middle stage of Qi refining. As a personal maid, how dare he continue to practice even if he can go further?
"Do you smell the burnt smell? Or you smell the bloody smell on me?" The light from Ma Rui's eyes seemed to have discovered the evil wolf in his prey. He couldn't control the girl in front of him back and forth due to excitement.
The maid was frightened by the young master's excitement and her whole body trembled slightly, and her head was shaking like a wave drum. At this time, she was so cramped that she dared not breathe, so she could not care about the smell of burnt or blood!
Although I already knew in my heart that from being assigned to the young master, this body will sooner or later be the young master's pocket, which girl doesn't want such a thing to be more solemn? Even if there is no eight-carrying sedan chair to get into the house, it should at least be more romantic than in front of me, right?
At this time, the smug smile appeared on the young master's face made Mei'er feel a little more lustful. Just as she was about to close her eyes and accept her fate, the male palm with her round shoulders had left, accompanied by a long and pleasant roar.
"My chance has finally come!"
