Ma Yanze was a man who cherished talents. Seeing that his nephew had a good relationship with this young man, he said to the child: "It is a good thing if you are willing to join the army. Of course you are welcome."
Ma Chunhua was a little reluctant. Her children could make the decision, but Xiao Qiang's family was special and her mother was in poor health.
"Son, do you want to talk about it when you get home? Your mother's body and bones are not very good..."
"Aunt, my mother told me to follow Brother Wensong well before I left, and asked me to take good care of my aunt, so I will go wherever he goes."
Wensong wanted to dissuade this stubborn brother, but he also knew that this boy had the same wish as him, and he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay, good brothers share blessings and hardships. Let's join the army together!"
Ma Yanze was very happy to be reunited with his sister in the capital. When she mentioned going home to meet her father, Ma Chunhua was a little silent.
In my own impression, my father was a selfish man. When their mother passed away, he was eager to marry home the daughter of the Minister of Justice.
Zhou was a petty woman who was jealous of her first wife's two children. Ma Yanze was smart and wise, and was away from home all year round. She had nothing to do with him.
But for the simple and innocent Ma Fuya, he coaxed and deceived her into falling into his own trap, causing her to become infamous.
After his careful planning, he finally became his wife, and his two children became his legitimate sons and daughters.
But this legitimate son was spoiled by her and became useless. He was notorious for being a prostitute all day long, and he has not been able to marry a real wife until now.
When the daughter was born and grew up, she married Qian Youliang, the eldest son of Qian Daru, and gave birth to a daughter, Qian Duoduo.
Mrs. Zhou had a headache when she saw her son Ma Yanze. There was a big brother above him who did things vigorously and resolutely. When the old Marquis passed away, his turn would not be hereditary.
I have always wanted to pave the way for my son. With fame and fame, it will be easier to marry a wife.
Ma Yanze's existence was like a thorn in Zhou's throat that he wanted to pull out over the years but could not.
Seeing the embarrassment on his sister's face, he didn't force it, "Then take the children to sign up for the army first, and we can discuss the future matters."
After sending Ma Yanze away, Wen Song suddenly felt a little regretful. The two of them found time to chat alone, and Wen Song said, "Mom, are you really okay when I leave?"
Ma Chunhua stretched out her hand to touch her son's hand and said warmly: "It's really okay. It's just that my mother agreed to your uncle in a fit of enthusiasm. I didn't expect the pain and danger of joining the army in the future. How about we..."
Ma Chunhua flinched a little.
She suddenly wanted to be content with the status quo. The eldest brother was filial, the second child was busy outside, the third child was successful in school, the fourth child was finally trained, and now she had to join the army. What if something happened?
After Wensong's guidance, Ma Chunhua was relieved and allowed her children to continue working hard to fulfill their dreams.
The next day, the eldest brother sent someone to pick up Wensong and Xiao Qiang to register at the Ministry of War.
Doctor Zhang followed the agreement and brought master and apprentice Ma Chunhua to the Prince's Mansion.
When I saw Long Jingyi again, I saw that he was wearing a goose-yellow robe with gold trim. He was like a flawless jade. Even if he stood there quietly, he gave people a sense of noble Qinghua.
Ma Chunhua knew that this was the prince's residence and she could no longer talk freely like in the village.
He quickly knelt down and saluted, and Prince Long Jingyi stepped forward to help him: "Aunt Zhang, there is no need to be so polite between us!"
"No, no, you are the current crown prince. Even an old lady knows the etiquette you should have. You shouldn't skip it."
Long Jingyi couldn't do anything to her, so he put her on a chair and said, "I heard that you are the legitimate daughter of Ma Rongxiang, the Hou Ma of Yong'an. Why didn't you tell her when you were in the country?"
Ma Chunhua also learned from her eldest brother that her father was generally attached to the third prince, and the prince had a close relationship with the fifth prince Long Jinghao.
The current situation is that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are evenly matched.
Therefore, the prince's question had a somewhat probing tone.
Ma Chunhua didn't hide it, and frowned: "To be honest with the prince, this old woman has lost contact with her family for twenty years. She didn't want to have any more contact, but the only thing she missed in her heart was her elder brother's family, so we had contact yesterday.
.”
"Oh! So that's it. Prince Ma is a generous, loyal and patriotic general. He is a rare general. Mr. Marquis and Aunt Zhang must be very happy after not seeing each other for so many years!"
Ma Chunhua's face was ugly and she said without concealing it: "I'm happy, maybe it's because of the trouble. The old woman has no nostalgia for that cold home. This time she came with the master for a consultation. If it weren't for the relationship like eldest brother, I would never be the same in this life."
I don’t even want to go home.”
Long Jingyi squinted his eyes, and listening to her words, he could feel how much she disliked the Hou Mansion.
Zhang Zhen couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't like the intrigues in the officialdom. Since he was a trusted person, he shouldn't test him. He said directly: "Prince, old man, I can't stand it any longer. Let's put it bluntly. My apprentice has no feelings for that family."
People hate it to the core.”
So Zhang Zhen told everything about how Ma Chunhua had been neglected, bewitched, and deceived in the Hou Mansion.
"So, I have no feelings for that biological father. As for the Zhou family, I really want to go up and give her a few slaps to let her know the consequences of messing with my apprentice."
Prince Long Jingyi finally believed it. There was no problem with the information, but it was important to be cautious.
"Aunt Zhang, don't be surprised. Grandma's illness this time is not a hidden disease, but poisoning!"
When Ma Chunhua heard this, her expression changed drastically. Why did the process of simply treating illnesses and rescuing people, then claiming credit and returning to her hometown suddenly become complicated?
She is an old lady from the country, why did she get involved in the court fight?
"Master, are you lying to me?" Ma Chunhua asked loudly, a little surprised.
Zhang Zhen looked at the angry apprentice a little apologetically, and said with regret: "Apprentice, your biological father is the Marquis of Yong'an, and his father-in-law is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. They have been affiliated to the Third Prince's Party over the years, and they are the ones who poisoned the Queen Mother this time.
It’s a conspiracy, Master tricked you here to help her detoxify, but I didn’t expect you to have such a life experience.”
"Master, don't believe me?" Ma Chunhua suddenly felt like she had been wronged and deceived.
It turned out that he had known for a long time that the Queen Mother's poisoning was not a hidden disease, and that he was tricked into it because of his own medical skills or space medicine.
"Apprentice, Master is wrong. This is the only thing that makes Master panic. But he is sincere in resigning and returning to his hometown. Master likes Xitang Village and the simple folks there, and really wants to retire there."
Seeing the little old man blaming himself, Ma Chunhua suddenly softened her heart and softened her tone: "Tell me this now, are you not afraid that our father and daughter will jointly frame the Queen Mother?"
Zhang Zhen quickly waved his hand and said as if asking for credit: "No, no, no, master understands your personality, and you are not indifferent to right from wrong."
When Ma Chunhua heard that her master believed in her, all her anger dissipated instantly.
When he looked back at the prince, a smile appeared on his face: "Master believes in me, so today's temptation was the prince's intention?"
