After Ma Xiaofang finished speaking, she lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes and refused to speak.

Zhu Hongsan waited for a while and asked, "What's the matter? You're talking about it." Ma Xiaofang still didn't say anything. Zhu Hongsan lowered his head and suddenly realized it. He said, "Congratulations on getting engaged."

Ma Xiaofang suddenly looked up and said, "How do you know?"

Zhu Hongsan thought bitterly: "Oh, it seems that he is the life of living alone. He was hit when he fell in love with Ma Xiaofang just now."

Seeing that Zhu Hongsan didn't speak, Ma Xiaofang lowered his head and said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, my uncle came to send a letter. You know that my uncle was an official in Nanjing. At that time, he was demoted to Nanjing as an official because he offended the eunuch party. This time, Wei Zhongxian died. I heard that the eunuch party was killed. My uncle was also activated and wanted to return to BJ. I sent a letter to my father, saying that he had a friend named Hou Xun, who used to be a colleague of the Ministry of Revenue, and was hit for the eunuch party's affairs. However, Hou Xun was directly dismissed and returned to his hometown of HN, and this time he also used it. I heard that he was a high-ranking official. He had a son named Hou Fangyu, who was as old as me and was ten years old. My uncle asked me to get engaged to him."

Zhu Hongsanyi heard that it was Hou Fangyu, the fourth young master in the late Ming Dynasty, but the fate was not good. The Peach Blossom Fan was written by him and Li Xiangjun.

Seeing that Zhu Hongsan didn't speak, Ma Xiaofang stood up and said angrily: "You are dead, you are talking."

Zhu Hongsan said, "It's all like this. What else can I say? Hou Fangyu is a young man and has more promising prospects than me, a half-dead royal family. Congratulations, Mrs. Hou."

When Ma Xiaofang heard Zhu Hongsan say such heartless words, she immediately cried out and slapped Zhu Hongsan: "You bastard, you don't remember what you said before? I asked you to kiss you and asked you to touch you. Even if I die, I will die with you. Wait, I will go and get a knife now. I will kill you first and I will commit suicide." As he said that, he rushed to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Zhu Hongsan was sweating in a cold sweat from this fierce old lady, hugged Ma Xiaofang and shouted: "Miss Ma, Miss Ma, I'm just angry with you. Have you changed your mind when you try to change your mind? Really, I'm a bastard."

Ma Xiaofang burst into tears when she heard the lover say this and said, "The little bastard doesn't let go of his hands, where are you touching?"

Zhu Hongsan then realized that he hugged Ma Xiaofang from behind, and his hands just touched Ma Xiaofang's chest, which felt good. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan pinched twice. Then he said lustfully: "It seems like he has grown up."

Ma Xiaofang didn't care about being shy now, and twisted Zhu Hongsan's ear and said, "I came today just to think of a solution. If you can't think of it, I will die with you today."

After Zhu Hongsan knew Ma Xiaofang’s true intentions, he swept away his decadent mood just now, took away the hand that twisted his ear, put it in his hand and stroked it, saying, “I don’t know what my wife wants to do?”

Ma Xiaofang's face was flushed and let Zhu Hongsan grab his little hand and said, "Two things, the first thing is that this marriage cannot be accomplished. The second thing is that I want to get engaged to you."

Zhu Hongsan pondered: "The first one is easy to deal with, the second one is not urgent now, you have to wait until you are seventeen years old."

"Why? When I say you get engaged to you, you will be in a hurry. Do you want to give up? Do you dislike me for being unfair?

Zhu Hongsan quickly knelt in front of Ma Xiaofang and said, "Zhu Hongsan swears here that he will only love Ma Xiaofang in his life and will have a hundred children with her in the future. If he does not swear, will God and man condemn it?"

When Ma Xiaofang heard her lover say this, she was as happy as a peach blossom and said, "Bah, who gave birth to a hundred children for you? Shameless, get up quickly."

Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Xiaofang's white and clean face and soft and thin skin. His eyebrows were slender and picturesque, his eyes were as bright as stars, and there was a small mouth under the bridge of his nose, his lips were thin, and the corners of his mouth were slightly bent upward. At this time, his face was full of smiles because of his words, so beautiful and beautiful.

Zhu Hongsan wished he could immediately turn into a jackal and immediately recite Ma Xiaofang to the ground. But he found that he was only eight years old and was very willing, but his little brother was not good at it. At this time, Zhu Hongsan had the heart to strangle Zhu Yuanzhang to death, and gave me a beautiful wife but gave me an impotence body. Oh my God, let me die.

Ma Xiaofang looked at Zhu Hongsan, from her initial look to her face slowly turning to a white face. Later, she lay on the table and cried loudly, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss San, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhu Hongsan stopped crying and said, "It's nothing, I just hate it."

Ma Xiaofang blinked her big eyes and asked, "What do you hate?"

Zhu Hongsan gritted his teeth and said, "I hate my body. Now I am so small, but I have the heart but not the strength."

Ma Xiaofang is now eleven, and the ancient women's eleven have already understood some things about men and women. Now, when he hears his lover say this, he secretly said: "Miss, wait until you are twelve years old to come to my house to propose marriage, but I am not allowed to let you be frivolous."

Zhu Hongsan thought it would be better to change the subject. If this continues, the old man would live ten years less. He hurriedly said, "I'll talk about it later. Now I will teach you how to ruin the marriage."

When Ma Xiaofang heard that, he was the same. As long as the marriage was ruined, there would be a chance to be with her lover in the future. He hurriedly said, "Speak quickly, I'll listen."

Zhu Hongsan asked: "Is your third brother Ma Jingyuan at home?"

“At home”

When Zhu Hongsan heard this, he had a plan in his mind and said, "You have asked your third brother for this matter. You think that if you are engaged in such a big deal, both of you are both officials and you must not be able to make it with just a letter. There will definitely be elders in their family leading Hou Fangyu to your house, and they will also show you your character. But I think their family will basically not agree based on your appearance."

Ma Xiaofang said, "Sangouzi, you are looking for death. How dare you say that I am ugly?"

Zhu Hongsan hurriedly said, "But in my heart, the lady is the best, no one, it's all."

Ma Xiaofang then spared Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan continued, "Before the Hou family came again, your father and mother would definitely tell you to pretend to be a lady and cover your big feet with your skirt." Zhu Hongsan saw the tendency of Ma Xiaofang going wild again and said quickly, "Do you want to listen or not? Don't get angry if you want to listen. Listen to me."

Zhu Hongsan continued, "What you have to do is follow your father's words, but after the Hou family comes, you will make your third brother angry in front of the Hou family. Then you kick your third brother with your feet, then use a stick, brick or something to hit the head, that's all."

Ma Xiaofang rolled her eyes and said, "How annoyed my third brother, you are so annoying to him. Okay, I know what you meant. Isn't it just to embarrass me and make the Hou family dislike me? I know what to do."

Zhu Hongsan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Madam, they don't like your big feet, they don't like your domineeringness, but I like both of them. I just like your big feet, I like you to twist my ears."

Ma Xiaofang gave Zhu Hongsan a blank look and said, "I'll say it nicely. OK, I'll leave." After that, he raised his legs and went out.

As Zhu Hongsan expected, in March of the first year of Chongzhen, Hou Xun was visiting friends in Nanjing when he received the reinstatement order and heard that Ma Guoan was also about to reinstate.

At the same time, Ma Guoan also revealed the intention of forming a family with him. Hou Xun was also very satisfied with this marriage. There were three Jinshis in the Ma family, which was rare in the entire Ming Dynasty. In addition, this woman was born in the legitimate family, and her uncle was also the governor of Henan, his hometown.

Although I heard that the Ma girl might be naughty and naughty, and she is one year older than her son, she is all superficial in the face of immediate interests. Hou Xun wanted to take the opportunity to go home to lead her son to detour to Wuchang Mansion in Huguang to see this marriage, and if possible, she would settle down.

So Hou Xun set out on March 20 with Ma Guoan's letter, went upstream on the Yangtze River, and arrived at Majiazhuang, Wuchang Prefecture on April 10th. A few days ago, Ma Xiaofang was well-behaved and acted like a good girl. Ma Guoxiang, who had a headache about his daughter, was also shocked and thought that her daughter had changed.

Hou Xun was also very satisfied with this marriage. Although Ma Xiaofang was a little tall, it was not a problem. Ma Guoxiang was even more satisfied with Hou Fangyu. Of course, the four young masters in the late Ming Dynasty were not fake.

On that day, the Hou family was invited to the Ma Guoxiang family to invite the magistrate of the Hou County, Wuchang. He County Magistrate and Hou Xun are also old acquaintances. They are both brothers and brothers who were suppressed by the eunuch party back then. County Magistrate He also received an order to go to Shandong to serve as the prefect of Jinan. These days, he is waiting for his later post to accept it.

Ma Mingyuan was also with Hou Fangyu at the table. Ma Mingyuan had married County Magistrate He's daughter, but he did not pass the imperial examination last year. He studied hard at home and tried to try again the next year. However, it was scary. Ma Mingyuan was only eighteen years old this year, and Zhang Juzheng was sixteen years old that year, and there were only a few Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty.

While a group of stinky old men were praising each other, Ma Jingyuan, the third son of the Ma family, came. Ma Jingyuan has been studying harder in recent years. Ma Guoxiang has basically given up on him, just hoped that he could know etiquette and that he would inherit his family business in a hundred years. I think his two brothers are promising people and will not compete with him for family business.

At this time, Ma Jingyuan fell to his knees when he entered the house. Ma Guoxiang saw his son's nose and swollen face, thinking that he was fighting with someone outside again, and was afraid that he would embarrass him in front of outsiders. He was about to ask him to retreat soon, but he didn't expect Ma Jingyuan to cry and said that he was beaten by his sister. While he was talking, Ma Xiaofang pushed open the door and entered the house, pressed Ma Jingyuan to the ground and beat him up.

Ma Xiaofang was already taller than Ma Jingyuan. With Ma Jingyuan's deliberate performance, Ma Xiaofang was really majestic. She beat Ma Jingyuan to death and claimed that she wanted to beat this little girl to death. After such a fuss, the banquet was of course dispersed. The next day, the Hou father and son stood up to say goodbye, so naturally the marriage was not mentioned at all.

Afterwards, Ma Guoxiang and his wife fell seriously ill. Ma Guoxiang was bedridden for half a month before getting up to play, which made Ma Jiyuan, who was far away, rush back to visit his father. Finally, Ma Xiaofang told the truth after his mother's crying, his father's angry brother's heartfelt persuasion.
