House didn't show much respect to Ma Xiaoquan because he listened to his father's words. He curved a strange smile at the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up straight, while his hands holding his chest remained the same.
"Uh...Sir..." Lisa and House's father James looked at Ma Xiaoquan awkwardly. Ma Xiaoquan just smiled slightly and waved his hand to tell him to stop talking.
"Haos, I think you are well-raised. Where have you been playing recently?" Ma Xiaoquan asked with a smile.
"Where to play?" House glared at Ma Xiaoquan with a playful look on his face.
"Sir, House has been...following us these days. He hasn't gone to any messy places..." James intervened to smooth things over for his son.
Lisa bit her lip, lowered her head, and said nothing.
"Oh, really? Then why do you and Lisa look dusty, but House has skin and tender flesh?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
House laughed and changed the subject: "Ma Xiaoquan, my sister is going to marry you. According to the customs of your dynasty, you should call me brother-in-law. Uh-huh, the tasks you assigned us, we
It’s all done, what’s next, where’s the betrothal gift I requested?”
"House!" James' eyes turned red with anxiety. He regretted in his heart why he had raised such an incompetent son.
House just glanced at his father, and then glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, his eyes full of frivolity.
"Haha, the betrothal gift, of course, of course there is, but it doesn't seem like this betrothal gift is for you, right?"
House said confidently: "Huh? Who will give it to me if you don't give it to me? I am the only son in the family, who will give it to me if you don't give it to me?"
"House!" James was completely anxious. He stepped forward and pulled House hard to stop him.
House looked at her father coldly and said a few words of ethnic language, which Ma Xiaoquan still couldn't understand. But after House said those few words of ethnic language, Lisa's face suddenly became very ugly.
According to common sense, Ma Xiaoquan knew that House must have said something about Lisa.
"Okay, I will give you a fair share of the betrothal gift. Well, you three, I will give you three days for another task I mentioned." After saying this, Ma Xiaoquan stood up, turned and left.
"Three days?" House shouted after watching Ma Xiaoquan leave, "Three days, what exactly does Ma Xiaoquan want us to do?"
Lisa said: "My lord asked us to collect all the gold and silver coins from the surrounding small countries within three days."
"What?" House Yi heard anxiously, "If it were in the past, how could there be any gold and silver coins in the surrounding small countries?"
James shook his head gently. He was extremely dissatisfied. House had followed him around since he was a child, and he didn't even know whether there were gold and silver coins in the surrounding small countries. How could he entrust such a son with the task of reviving the family in the future?
Lisa glanced at House and sneered: "You know nothing but eating, drinking and having fun."
"Lisa, what did you say?" House looked at his biological sister fiercely. Others said it was okay for him not to do his job properly, and his father said it was okay for him, but Lisa was the only one who absolutely couldn't do it.
"That's enough!" James stopped the quarrel that was about to break out between the brother and sister in time. He took a step forward and said with a frown, "Since Mr. Ma wants to give us a task again, then we must do it.
Keeping our promises is a creed that our tribe must always abide by?"
"Creed? Father, you are so naive. Okay, this is a matter between you and Lisa. Don't drag me into it. I don't have time to mess around with you. By the way, if you really finish it,
Tell me so I can ask Ma Xiaoquan for more of Lisa's betrothal gift." After saying that, House walked out of the hall laughing.
James' face was red, and he yelled at House's back: "House, stop!"
House just turned his head and glanced, then left without any further pause.
With a "pop" sound, James felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
"Father!" Lisa quickly stepped forward to support James, her eyes filled with tears.
"Lisa..." James grabbed Lisa's hand and said, "Please forgive your brother, he has also suffered a lot..."
Lisa shook her head. She didn't say anything, but she was extremely disappointed in her heart. Growing up, her father had always regarded her brother as the hope for the family's revitalization, but his brother had no other abilities except eating, drinking, having fun and playing with women. On the contrary
Lisa herself has always been by her father's side and received a lot of scolding from her father, but she has really learned a lot of skills. Her father still favors House.
Lisa has lamented many times that it would be great if she were a man, maybe her father would take her seriously.
Lisa exhaled, helped her father up, helped him dust off his body, and said with tears: "I know, I know, father, please don't worry..."
James sighed and smiled bitterly: "Okay, we don't have many days left for the mission. There are only three days. If your brother doesn't help, we will do it ourselves. Well, remember, this mission is completed.
If someone asks, you must say that your brother was involved, do you understand?"
"knew!"
...
After Lisa and James left, Ma Xiaoquan slowly walked out from behind the main hall. He heard all the previous conversations between Lisa and Yi's family.
Sighing, Ma Xiaoquan said to himself: "Lisa, this time is actually my test for you. If you can pass smoothly, you... will be what I, Ma Xiaoquan, will create in the future.
The backbone of the finance team!”
...
After House left Ma's house, he returned to the dark courtyard again, but this time, he did not have sex with the woman in a hurry. Instead, he opened a secret door and walked in.
Behind the secret door is a secret compartment. In the secret compartment, Li Yongzhen is sitting quietly on an imperial chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
When House saw Li Yongzhen, he came over respectfully, but Li Yongzhen asked directly without raising his head: "Are you there?"
"Go!"
"Ma Xiaoquan, what are you doing to me?" Li Yongzhen still didn't look up.
"We are asked to find gold and silver coins from neighboring small countries, but we don't know what to do?"
"Oh? Gold and silver coins from neighboring small countries?" Li Yongzhen put down the teacup, raised his head and smiled, how could it be such a coincidence? Hum, I see, that's it...
Seeing Li Yongzhen smiling brightly, House asked curiously: "Eunuch Li, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yongzhen waved his hand: "House, you have done a good job. Well, Mr. Wei has raised you these days and made your jade stem reborn. It's time for you to work..."
