Rising summary: It turns out... Ma Xiaoquan had already known about Ma Ruiqing's injury before Niu Wu reported it, but... the matter was far from as simple as Ma Xiaoquan imagined...
The man hummed: "Thank you, Fourth Young Mistress."
Li Qinghan blushed, glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and asked the man: "Why do you do this if you are so good?"
"Replying to the fourth young lady, my family was poor since I was a child, and I had many brothers and sisters. When I was ten years old, I learned to cut the baby by myself. Unexpectedly, the baby was cut off and eaten by the dog. Because there was no baby, so
I haven't been able to enter the palace either. I've been wandering around outside for sixteen years. If the fourth young master hadn't saved me, I would have been beaten to death long ago."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Okay, no more, Xiao Jiuer, I have raised you for so long, and I need you to do something for me."
"No matter what the Fourth Young Master orders, Xiao Jiu'er will be the Fourth Young Master's ghost in this life, and he will be the Fourth Young Master's ghost in his death."
"Yes, yes, the more you talk, the farther you go... Well, tomorrow you go with Niu Wu to Ningyuan."
"Yes." The person named Xiao Jiuer bowed respectfully to Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan, and then exited the study.
Li Qinghan was a little confused and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Xiaoquan, is that little Jiu'er born like that or is he wearing a human skin mask?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "If you were born like that, wouldn't there be another Ma Xiaoquan? Well, speaking of wearing a human skin mask, Xiao Jiuer didn't wear one either."
"Then he..."
"Well, Qinghan, you women can change your makeup a lot. When men do some makeup, they naturally have to change it, hehe."
"Men wear makeup?"
"Yeah, except for actors and actresses in Beijing, I'm afraid there aren't many men who are willing to put on makeup, right?"
"Oh, Xiao Jiu'er is an actor?"
"Well, I arranged for him to join a theater troupe to learn singing and makeup. This guy is very attentive and learns quickly and very well. Hey, he is just older, otherwise he will definitely become a popular actor."
Li Qinghan smiled and said: "You have to start singing from a young age."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Qinghan, have you forgotten? Xiao Jiuer doesn't have that. His voice is much sharper than ordinary people. Given time, he really has the possibility of becoming famous."
"Oh, then why didn't I hear what he just said?"
"Of course. I specially arranged for him to learn singing opera. The purpose is to let him master the voice of the student. Well, Xiao Jiuer should have no problem learning to speak from me."
When Ma Xiaoquan said this, Li Qinghan suddenly realized: "Ma Xiaoquan, if you ask Xiao Jiuer to follow Niu Wu to Ningyuan, will you still stay in Beijing?"
"I'm sure, but after Xiao Jiu'er leaves, I can't show my face in Beijing. I won't be able to show up in Beijing openly until Xiao Jiu'er comes back." Ma Xiaoquan said, nodding and blinking.
Li Qinghan clicked his tongue three times: "Ma Xiaoquan, why do I think you are so insidious?"
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by insidiousness? I, Ma Xiaoquan, never take the initiative to harm others, okay?" Ma Xiaoquan shouted that he was wronged.
Li Qinghan covered his mouth and chuckled: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
Ma Xiaoquan grabbed Li Qinghan and took him into his arms: "Qinghan, it's still early, I think it's better for us to create a human again?"
Li Qinghan blushed: "It's daytime now."
"What happened during the day? You can still go to prostitutes during the day."
As soon as the words came out, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt that something was wrong, but it was too late. He felt that the soft flesh of his waist was being pinched hard and twisted randomly.
Just as Ma Xiaoquan was about to sue for mercy, Li Qinghan looked at him arrogantly and said, "How dare you scream and I will never ignore you again!"
In desperation, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to endure the pain of being pinched in his waist.
Just then, the study door opened.
Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue walked in and saw Ma Xiaoquan hugging Li Qinghan, but Ma Xiaoquan's face was extremely red. He thought they were doing something and hurriedly avoided them.
"Wait a minute." Li Qinghan rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan and finally let go of Ma Xiaoquan's hand.
Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue looked at each other, turned around, and said with a smile: "Ma Xiaoquan, sister Qinghan, we don't want to disturb your enjoyment."
Li Qinghan bit his teeth, stamped his feet and said, "Where are we? Don't talk nonsense. Are you two coming to the study to find Ma Xiaoquan?"
Bei Mingxue, who was more cautious after all, nodded and said: "Yes, Ma Xiaoquan, is there someone at home? A guy sneaked up to the door of my room and peeked at me washing my face."
"What? So bold, what does it look like?"
"Well, he looks tall and thick, but his eyes are small, like soybeans."
Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan looked at each other, and they were already sure who was peeking at Bei Mingxue washing her face.
"Uh, it's okay. That person came from Ningyuan to report the news. He will leave tomorrow."
"Oh, it's so annoying, it looks so naughty."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly. With Bei Mingxue's figure and appearance, it would be strange if she didn't show her beauty and squinting appearance.
...
After Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue left, Li Qinghan asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Xiaoquan, you asked Xiao Jiuer to pretend to be you and go to Ningyuan. Do you want to tell sister Qingxue and sister Bei Ming?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "That's not necessary. When Xiao Jiuer leaves, I will also leave, but I will go to station in a secret place in the suburbs. Qinghan, if anything happens, I will let you contact me. Well, remember, I
During these days when you are out of town, you must live in seclusion."
Li Qinghan hummed, nodded and said, "Don't worry, by the way, Ma Xiaoquan, I figured out how to pull off Niu Wu's words."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "How about you and I write something on the desk to see if we have thought of something together."
Li Qinghan hummed, dipped some tea on his right index finger, and then wrote a word on the desk.
When Li Qinghan finished writing, Ma Xiaoquan had already finished writing. The two of them opened it and looked at each other at the same time, laughing.
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan went to the palace early in the morning to meet the emperor and said that his father in Ningyuan was seriously injured and he wanted to go take a look.
Zhu Youxiao was impressed by Ma Xiaoquan's "filial piety" and immediately rewarded him with a yellow mantle and ordered him to go back quickly.
After receiving the emperor's reward and thanking him, Ma Xiaoquan hurriedly left the palace and returned to the Ma family.
In the inner room of Ma's house, Ma Xiaoquan put on a very simple groom's clothes and put a human skin mask on his face. In an instant, the originally graceful Ma Xiaoquan turned into a weather-beaten groom.
