【1318】Widow's front door is much right and wrong (4)
Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan returned to Caobang with the handkerchief given by Chen Xiaoxiao, but unexpectedly the handkerchief was taken away by Niu Sanlai. In the end, the handkerchief ended up in the hands of the leader of the Fujian faction...
The leader of the Fujian faction frowned: "Huh? What, you still want this handkerchief?"
Niu San waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, I just want to smell the fragrance on the handkerchief again..."
"roll"
Niu San retreated in embarrassment, stood at the door, and muttered: "You stupid thing, if it wasn't for the sake of our fellow countrymen, I would have turned against you a long time ago."
In fact, Niu San didn't know that while he was muttering secretly, there was a person hiding in the other corner of the hall. This person could hear clearly what Niu San had just muttered.
explain
This person is...Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his lips. After Niu San left, he slowly walked out. With his head tilted, Ma Xiaoquan glanced inside the hall.
The leader of the Fujian faction was holding Chen Xiaoxiao's handkerchief and sniffing it frantically, as if he wanted to chew the handkerchief to pieces with his nose before giving up.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and left the hall.
...
The next day, Niu San took the initiative to chat with Ma Xiaoquan. Although Ma Xiaoquan knew that this was the boss's order, it coincided with his own plan and he was still very happy.
Ma Xiaoquan naturally accepted Niu San's enthusiasm. Otherwise, Ma Xiaoquan was very happy that Niu San would fulfill his promise to treat her to a feast tonight.
Since lurking within the Fujian faction of Caobang, Hua Yue has been handling the salt transportation affairs alone, which means that the leaders of the two major factions don't care much. Otherwise, if Ma Xiaoquan doesn't show up for such a long time, they will definitely become suspicious.
Ma Xiaoquan was also very anxious. He didn't want to waste time here. He wanted to get hold of Niu San as soon as possible and then find a way to dig out the roots of the Fujian sect.
After work in the evening, Niu San and Ma Xiaoquan went to the best local tavern to have dinner together.
Ma Xiaoquan was not polite. He knew what Niu San wanted after that, so he ate it first.
After having enough food and wine, Ma Xiaoquan burped twice. Looking at there was still a lot of food on the table, Ma Xiaoquan smashed it and said, m..com: "Brother Niu San, can I take back the rest?
"
Niu San laughed: "Of course, but... Han San, Brother Niu has to ask you for a favor..."
Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head, a hint of unnoticeable joy flashed in his eyes, then he raised his head and said carelessly: "Brother Niu San, just go ahead, as long as I, Hu Hansan, can help, there will be no problem."
Niu San chuckled and raised his eyebrows: "This matter is not that easy...Actually, Brother Niu is thinking about letting you make an introduction. Brother Niu wants to meet Chen Xiaoxiao.
noodle......"
"Meet, why?"
Niu San looked at Ma Xiaoquan and said with some pride: "Han San, isn't it Brother Niu? If you look like this, even if you get Chen Xiaoxiao's handkerchief by chance, I'm afraid people won't look down on you, right? If you have Brother Niu like you,
It looks like it should be fine.”
Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head. In fact, he despised Niu San for being narcissistic. But in Niu San's eyes, Ma Xiaoquan's bowing of his head was acknowledging the "fact."
"Haha, Han San, don't be discouraged. You are a self-aware person. Brother Niu actually has no other intentions. As for Chen Xiaoxiao, Brother Niu can't get it either. Brother Niu just wants to be friends with her. You
If you can get her handkerchief, it proves that you are capable, then you should work harder and meet her through her servants tomorrow, and then how about you introduce her to me in front of Chen Xiaoxiao? "
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, looking very disappointed, but he still said: "Okay, then listen to Brother Niu San, but Brother Niu, aren't the people in our Cao Gang trying to figure out other people's ideas? If you don't want it, don't you?"
Want to give it to the boss?"
"What are you talking about? Is Brother Niu such a person?"
"Oh, no, no, that's okay. I'll go there early tomorrow morning. Oops, but I still have to carry the salt bags..."
Niu San chuckled: "When you go to meet people, you are doing work, and the wages are yours."
“Okay”
...
Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoquan went to find Chen Xiaoxiao. Of course, in order to avoid the man-in-law pestering him, Ma Xiaoquan brought a wild flower randomly picked from the roadside.
It was the man's wife who opened the door, and it was Ma Xiaoquan who was holding flowers in his hand. The man's wife was so happy that she stepped forward and punched Ma Xiaoquan, almost knocking him to the ground.
Ma Xiaoquan's blood surged in his chest. If he hadn't practiced before, he might have been lying down by now.
The old woman fiddled with the petals and said happily: "Hu Hansan, you are really interesting. Okay, go in, the master is waiting for you."
"Wait for me? Does Miss Chen know I'm coming?"
The man-in-law didn't raise his head, just smiled slightly.
"All right"
Ma Xiao bowed his head and walked into the courtyard.
Turning a corner, Ma Xiaoquan saw Chen Xiaoxiao. At this moment, she was playing the piano in the pavilion.
Ma Xiaoquan walked quietly to the pavilion, closed his eyes and listened.
Chen Xiaoxiao's piano skills were good, and Ma Xiaoquan felt relaxed and happy after playing the song. When the song ended, he was still immersed in it without opening his eyes.
Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan was so intoxicated, Chen Xiaoxiao did not bother to disturb him. She waited until he opened his eyes before Chen Xiaoxiao said, "Brother Hu, you are here."
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Here you go, sister, you play really well."
"It's embarrassing"
"Where is it? It sounds great."
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "It sounds good. According to the Salt Transport Department, a new Mr. Ma has arrived. He also listens to Tongyin. I wonder if Brother Hu has seen him?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.
"Hey, that's a pity. I heard that Mr. Ma made a bet with people from the Fujian and Henan factions before and won. I wonder if this is true or not?"
Ma Xiaoquan: "I have heard a little bit about this."
"Then how did Mr. Ma win?" Chen Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"How do you win? I heard it. It seems that Mr. Ma sang some kind of song. People from both factions didn't guess it."
"What song?"
Ma Xiaoquan felt a little embarrassed, but it didn't matter, but if Chen Xiaoxiao continued to ask like this, it wouldn't be a problem. No, Chen Xiaoxiao would be angry and probably wouldn't be able to come back in the future.
"Hey" Ma Xiaoquan sighed, feeling better, "Call it... what do you call it Wangchunfeng, yes, Wangchunfeng"
"Looking at the spring breeze?"
"Well, yes, that's the name."
"Brother Hu, do you know how Master Ma sings?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.
Chen Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed: "That's a pity. If there is a chance, I would like to meet Mr. Ma."
Hearing Chen Xiaoxiao's words, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"If you don't mind, sister, you can write a letter and I will bring it to Mr. Ma."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoxiao was a little excited and said, "Brother Hu, are you serious about this?"
"Of course it is. Hey, it's rare for a girl to have this interest. How can I not be satisfied as a brother?"
"That's great, I'll write it now!" After that, Chen Xiaoxiao jumped up and went to get the pen and ink.
"Wait a minute," Ma Xiaoquan stopped him, "Sister, Brother Hu came here today to talk to you about something..."
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "Actually, Brother Hu is also sorry for you. The handkerchief you gave me was confiscated by the boss."
"What do I mean? I still have some here. If Brother Hu wants it, I'll give you a few more."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, that's not what Brother Hu means. What Brother Hu means is that he wants to introduce someone to you."
"A person? Who is it?"
"Hey, my name is Niu San, from the Fujian sect."
"Hmm... Niu San, the name sounds familiar... Brother Hu, I can't see it anymore. This kind of person must have evil intentions."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "That's true, but if the girl disappears, Brother Hu probably won't be able to stay in Caobang any longer."
"Well, it's so serious, then...well, Brother Hu, what about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned. This Chen Xiaoxiao must be too anxious. "I think it will be a few days. I will send your letter to Mr. Ma first."
Chen Xiaoxiao nodded: "That's fine."
...
After saying goodbye to Chen Xiaoxiao, Ma Xiao carefully hid the letter. He was going to see Niu San later, but he couldn't let him find Chen Xiaoxiao's letter.
Ma Xiaoquan originally wanted to go out and see what Chen Xiaoxiao had written, but looking around, there was no place to hide. In desperation, Ma Xiaoquan had to wait until he got back.
After finding Niu San, Ma Xiaoquan boasted exaggeratedly. Niu San's eyes widened when he heard it, and he kept urging Ma Xiaoquan to come to his conclusion anxiously.
Ma Xiaoquan straightened his collar and said with a smile: "Brother Niu San, this matter is done, how can you thank me?"
Niu San was not an angry person either. He laughed, patted Ma Xiaoquan on the shoulder and said: "Han San, your son, you have to eat another meal from Brother Niu and I. Okay, Brother Niu promises you."
"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Brother Niu, I'm not just trying to eat you, I just want you to take a dozen days off for me."
"Ten days? So much? What are you doing?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I want to go to Beijing... to meet a woman..."
Niu San was stunned, pointed at Ma Xiaoquan and laughed: "Son, how can you be able to meet Chen Xiaoxiao so easily? After all this fuss, you still have a sweetheart in Beijing?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said: "No, what? If I didn't come to our Caogang, I wouldn't be able to learn so many things. Brother Niu San, you have also seen that in the past few days, I was either scolded or beaten.
I don’t understand women either, but now that I have mastered it, I want to go to Beijing and try it again. If it doesn’t work, my heart will die.”
