Ma Cheng, the third son of the Ma family, returned from patrol. After reporting the situation to his father, Ma Ruiqing, he went to ensure that his mother was safe.
While walking on the road, Ma Cheng heard a few soldiers talking about something, so he stepped forward and asked why.
Privately, Ma Cheng and the soldiers regarded each other as brothers, with no priority.
When the soldier saw Ma Cheng, he said casually: "Oh, it's General Ma San. That's right. Your fourth son seems to be here today."
"What, the fourth child? Oh, you mean the fourth child, he is here?"
"Yes, General Ma San, your family is really powerful. You are all fierce generals. The fourth child in your family is also the deacon of the Imperial Guard, so he is even more powerful."
"Haha, that's right~~ By the way, why do you think you are talking about women?"
"Oh, it's like this. When we passed by just now, we saw two women. Their appearance, General Ma San, is not what we are talking about. In our whole life, we have never seen such beautiful women. They are just like the immortals in the sky. Like a daughter."
Ma Cheng was a little unconvinced: "Is it possible that my wife is calm and beautiful?"
"General Ma San, don't tell me, she is a hundred times more beautiful than your wife." A soldier said with a smile.
"You brat~ Is there anyone prettier than my wife? I don't believe it..." Ma Cheng scolded and left with a smile.
When I got home and saw my mother, Shen Jing came up to take off Ma Cheng's armor. Ma Cheng grabbed his wife's hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then turned to ask Ma's mother: "Mom, Shen Jing is very beautiful, isn't she?"
Ma Mu smiled and nodded: "Of course, by the way, your fourth brother is here."
"Well, I know."
Ma Mu smiled again and said, "Your fourth brother has gone to pick up his two wives. None of you are as capable as your fourth brother."
Ma Cheng pouted: "Even if he is a high official, he is still my fourth brother."
Qiao Yu interrupted: "That's not what Mom is talking about, my little fourth son, but he has married several women."
"Oh? So powerful?" Ma Cheng said disapprovingly, "That boy is the most handsome among our brothers, and he is in the capital, and he is still the deacon of the Imperial Guard. It is normal for a lady from any family to fall in love with him."
Shen Jing raised her head, glanced at Ma Cheng, and asked, "Then do you also want to marry again?"
Ma Cheng shook his head and held Shen Jing's waist: "I don't, you are enough."
Shen Jing seemed to be worried, but she didn't speak. Ma Mu sighed and said, "Okay, go wash your face and change clothes. Quan'er will be here soon."
Just as he was talking, his second son Ma Yuan came.
"Hey, Third Brother, are you back from patrol?" Ma Yuan saw Ma Cheng and said hello.
"Second brother, the fourth son is here, do you know?"
Ma Yuan nodded: "I know. I met him when he came here and played with Mingming for a while. By the way, on the way back, I saw the fourth son leading two women. Wow, I didn't say that. , that appearance, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely."
Ma Yuan seldom praises people, especially women. If he can say "absolutely amazing" three times repeatedly, then there must be something special about the other person.
Ma Mu became curious and turned to ask Qiao Yu: "Yu'er, haven't you been back to the capital? You've also seen the women around Quan'er. Can you tell me, are they all beautiful?"
Qiao Yu nodded and said with a wry smile: "Mom, I have seen him before, but there are many women around the fourth son. I wonder who he brought with him?"
"Oh? What do you mean, there are more than four women around Quan'er?"
Qiao Yu nodded: "Let's talk about women's luck. The fourth son is really amazing. If nothing else, Liu Xiangxiang, the granddaughter of cabinet scholar Liu Yijing, once favored our fourth son."
"Liu Yijing? Oh, haha, but judging from your tone, it didn't work out in the end, right?"
Qiao Yu nodded.
"Well, okay, the more you talk, the more interested I am in what kind of woman can Quaner fall in love with."
...
After lighting the incense, Ma Xiaoquan came. Along with Ma Xiaoquan, Hua Yue and Bei Mingxue followed him, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
Ma Xiaoquan entered the house first, saluted Ma Mu and his two brothers and sister-in-law, then turned around and shouted: "Come in, what are you doing standing outside the house?"
Hua Yue and Bei Mingshuang walked in slowly with their heads still lowered. When they saw Ma Mu and Ma Xiaoquan's brother and sister-in-law, they still didn't raise their heads, but they did a good job of etiquette.
"Mom, this...this is the woman next to the child, hehe..." Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head and introduced.
Ma Mu didn't say anything, she just sat quietly, which made Hua Yue and Bei Mingshuang very nervous. The two girls lowered their heads, feeling very uneasy. Ma Mu didn't speak for a long time, did she look down on herself?
After a while, the horse mother said: "Well, you two, raise your heads and let me see."
Hua Yue and Bei Mingshuang were extremely nervous, and neither of them wanted to raise their heads first.
Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help it anymore and said: "Mom asks you to raise your head, just raise your head. Mom won't eat you."
The two women gritted their teeth and seemed to have had a great ideological struggle before slowly raising their heads.
When Ma Mu saw the appearance of the two girls, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.
The two girls thought Ma Mu was dissatisfied and looked a little disappointed.
"Mom, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied?"
Ma Mu smiled and continued to shake her head: "No, no, no, I'm very satisfied, very satisfied. Really, these two girls are so beautiful. They are hundreds of times better than the beautiful concubines in the palace. Come on, you guys
Come here, you two, let me take a good look."
Hua Yue and Bei Mingshuang nodded and walked slowly to Ma Mu.
Ma Mu took the two girls' hands and said, "They are really beautiful, Yu'er Jinger, what do you think they look like?"
Qiao Yu has met Hua Yue and Bei Mingshuang, but she cannot reveal that she has met them.
"It's so beautiful~" Qiao Yu pretended to meet the two of them for the first time.
Shen Jing also nodded repeatedly and praised: "The fourth son is really lucky."
Hua Yue and Bei Mingshuang also met Qiao Yu. They wanted to say hello to Qiao Yu, but seeing Qiao Yu pretending not to know him, the two women didn't say anything more.
Ma Cheng put his arm around Ma Xiaoquan's shoulders, punched him in the chest, and said, "You brat, if you find such a beautiful woman, you may have forgotten your brother and sister-in-law, right?"
"How is that possible, third brother?" Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile, "Didn't I bring them to see you?"
Ma Yuan also came up and said: "This is about the same, but you have to work harder. If you stay in Ningyuan for a while, it is best to get pregnant with the baby before leaving."
"Pa~" Before Ma Yuan could finish his words, Qiao Yu came up and slapped him, "What are you talking about again?"
"No, no, hehe..."
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "I finally understand, second brother, even if you can take a concubine, I guess you wouldn't dare, haha..."
Qiao Yu said proudly: "Of course he wouldn't dare."
