Ma Yuan blushed and complained: "Why did mother tell you this? Really..."
Ma Xiaoquan put his arms around Ma Yuan's shoulders and said: "So, second brother, we are men. How can men let women show off? You have more experience, and I will give you some advice. Second sister-in-law treats you like that."
I adore you... Ouch, then when you do that thing again at night... the second sister-in-law is still not submissive? Hehe... right...
"Ma Xiaoquan leaned against Ma Yuan and winked, looking very vulgar.
"You kid..." Ma Yuan broke away from Ma Xiaoquan, "Go, go, you're too bad..."
Ma Xiaoquan's face darkened deliberately: "Second brother, just tell me whether you want to do it or not?"
Ma Yuanyi clapped his hands: "Nonsense! Let's go, stupid~~"
"Haha... Look, look, I know that second brother will not reject me... Haha..."
"You...haha..."
...
Ma Yuan and Bei Mingshuang ran fast and finally met up with Ma Mu and her group. At this time, Wang Ziqiang had already delivered all the betrothal gifts as agreed. Ma Mu was also surprised when she saw such a rich betrothal gift.
"How many of you can bring down such a big bandit camp?" Ma Mu asked in disbelief.
Ma Yuan shook his head and said: "Actually, this is all the work of Xiao Sizi and Xiao Mei. We really didn't do anything, we just went over and picked up what was ready."
"Oh? Xiaomei, is your second brother telling the truth?"
Bei Mingshuang smiled slightly and said modestly: "We didn't do anything..."
The horse mother chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, you guys, don't be humble. Okay, no more, let's leave quickly. Xiaomei, how long until we can get to your house?"
Bei Mingshuang raised his head, looked at it, and said with a smile: "We should be there in two days' walk."
Ma Mu nodded and said angrily: "Quan'er, this damn kid, I don't know what he's been doing. Really, I proposed marriage to him, and now he's gone without a trace."
Qiao Yu said: "Yes, mother, Ma Yuan hasn't come back yet. I heard from the third son that he got into trouble with the fourth son again. Really, why do I feel that after the fourth son came, Ma Yuan learned badly...
..."
When Ma Cheng heard this, he quickly patted his chest and murmured: "Good thing I'm back, good thing I'm back..."
Ma Mu turned around and glared at Ma Cheng, scolding: "You are not a good person either. If your second brother and fourth brother don't come back, are you really going to condone them?"
Ma Cheng looked innocent: "Mom, one is the second brother and the other is the fourth brother. There is nothing I can do. Besides, they also..."
Before Ma Cheng finished speaking, his wife Shen quietly kicked him and gave him a wink. Ma Cheng understood and quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
"Okay, you know what you said, Cheng'er, then you should make good marks on this road so that Yuan'er, Quan'er and the others won't be able to find the way."
Ma Cheng raised his head and said quickly: "I know, mother!"
...
Two days later, Ma Mu and her party finally arrived at their destination - the Beiming Family.
The Beiming Family is located in a very good geographical location and has very convenient transportation. More importantly, the composition of its family compound is very different from what Ma Mu imagined.
In Ma Mu's impression, for any big family, whether it is a famous family or a reclusive family, the family's compound should be at least luxurious, but the Beiming Family's compound looks like a small town as a whole. , residents coming and going were chatting and laughing in the town, and there were even vendors selling goods.
Ma Mu asked Bei Mingshuang in confusion: "Beiming Family? How could it be like this? Why doesn't it look like a big family?"
Bei Mingshuang smiled and said: "Most of the clan members are medicine merchants and travel to various places, but they never use their given names when going out. In addition, the rules passed down from the family are not allowed to build large houses with partition walls. The clan members must live with the clan leader. Over time, That’s what it became.”
Qiao Yu clicked his tongue and said, "That's really nice. It's very kind."
Bei Mingshuang nodded.
Third sister-in-law Shen Jing, who was not very talkative, suddenly asked: "Why do I see that most of the people coming and going are women, but there are very few men? Have all the men gone out?"
Bei Mingshuang sighed and said: "For some reason, the number of boys in the family has never been strong. By my generation, there are no boys in the family. Most of the babies born in each family in the clan are girls. Well, about every boy is born. Ding has three daughters. Since drug dealers often need men to do business, the men in the family usually leave when they are seven or eight years old..."
Qiao Yu said: "It's really strange. There must be many women in the Beiming family, and the men are so beautiful..."
Bei Mingshuang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The family has been sparing no effort to recruit a son-in-law, but no matter how good the son-in-law is, the children they give birth to are mostly girls."
Ma Mu said: "Is there something wrong with the soil and water here?"
Bei Mingshuang shook his head again: "The center of the family is our home, and there are also some outsiders who have not joined the clan around us. They eat the same water and live in the same soil as us, but they are not affected by this."
Ma Cheng shrugged and said casually: "Eh? This is strange? Is it possible that your Beiming family has been cursed?"
As soon as the words came out, Ma Chengcai felt something was wrong and quickly stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
Ma Mu glared at Ma Cheng and said, "Okay, let's get out of the car. This is the Beiming Family. If we continue to ride in the car, it would be disrespectful to them."
...
In the residence of the Beiming Family, the current head of the family, Beiming, was drinking tea while listening to the report of the servant sitting down.
"Well, you mean, a large group of people are here?" Bei Mingzheng put down his tea cup and murmured.
"Yes, although there are not many people, they seem to have brought a lot of betrothal gifts..."
"Betrothal gift?" Bei Mingzheng frowned, "How much is it?"
"a lot of?"
Beiming was dragging his chin and said: "It must be another family that has come to give the betrothal gift. Hey, my Beiming family has many men and women..."
As soon as Bei Mingzheng finished speaking, a servant ran in panting and said: "Family...Master, that team of people not only brought the betrothal gift, but also weapons..."
"Huh? Weapon?" Bei Mingzheng stood up, widened his eyes and thought for a while, "Could it be..."
At this point, Bei Mingzheng clapped his hands and said, "Quick, come with me and have a look."
...
At the gate, Bei Mingshuang took Ma Mu's arm and jumped out of the carriage. Second sister-in-law Qiao Yu and third sister-in-law Shen Jing jumped down next. Ma family's third son Ma Cheng led several Ma family guards. Stand on either side of them.
