Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "According to the confessions of the two Jurchens captured in the capital, Daishan had an affair with one of Nurhaci's concubines. Well, Brother Yuan, do you think Nurhaci doesn't know about this kind of thing?"
Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and said with a smile: "How could you not know?"
"Yes, so now that Nurhaci knows, does Brother Yuan think it is possible for Daishan to inherit the throne?"
Yuan Chonghuan shook his head again.
"So..." Ma Xiaoquan concluded, "There is only one person who can inherit the throne of Khan, and that is Huang Taiji."
Yuan Chonghuan smiled bitterly and said: "Huang Taiji is a ruthless character."
Ma Xiaoquan also sighed: "Isn't it right...Nurhachi is a soldier, but in terms of tricks, Huang Taiji is the most powerful..."
Yuan Chonghuan said: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. It's rare that you are here again. You have a good rest. Aren't you going to go to the canyon pass tomorrow..."
"Okay~~"
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan led Fangfang to the entrance of the canyon.
Xiakou Pass is also called Xiakou Pass. It is an important pass close to the base camp of the Ming Army. Because of the heroic performance of Ma Jiajun in the Battle of Ningyuan and Ma Xiaoquan's help, Yuan Chonghuan took on the task of guarding Xiakou Pass.
Taught it to Ma Jiajun.
After walking for nearly a day, Ma Xiaoquan and Fangfang arrived at Xiakou Pass.
The day before yesterday, Yuan Chonghuan had sent someone to notify the Ma family guarding Xiakou Pass, so when Ma Xiaoquan arrived, the Ma family had already greeted him at the pass.
"Fourth son, haha..." Ma Yuan ran over first, hugged Ma Xiaoquan warmly, patted Ma Xiaoquan's chest, and cursed, "You brat, why do you suddenly think of coming here again?"
La?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "Second brother, you see what you said, I can't come? Haven't you seen my son and Fangfang? Well, today I brought Fangfang, this is
My second brother."
Fangfang stepped forward, wrapped up Zhifeng in her arms nervously, and said in a trembling voice: "Second...Second brother..."
Ma Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed 180 degrees, and he said gently: "Hey, sister-in-law, hey, come on, come on, don't be afraid, bring the child over and let me take a look...
"
Fangfang nodded and held Zhifeng in front of Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan reached out and tapped the little guy's face, which made Zhifeng grin.
"Well, that's right, haha, he's from the Ma family, haha, he's from the Ma family..." Ma Yuan turned his head and shouted behind him, "Third brother, come here and see the fourth boy.
Son, haha, so interesting..."
Ma Cheng also ran over, hugging Ma Xiaoquan warmly, saying hello to Fangfang, making almost the same teasing gestures as Ma Yuan, and Xiao Zhifeng responded with the same grin just now.
"Haha..." Ma Cheng also laughed.
Fangfang kept blinking her eyes, approached Ma Xiaoquan and whispered: "Sir, Zhifeng likes the second brother and the third brother..."
"Hmm~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded and asked Ma Yuan with a smile, "Second brother, where is your mother?"
"Mom, I'm collecting shoe soles in the house. By the way, you have a third sister-in-law again. Your third brother is very precious to her."
"Really?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Ma Cheng and patted Ma Cheng hard, "Third brother, that's not bad. This ability is quite good."
Ma Cheng blushed slightly and said: "The medicine your boy got in the Beiming Family is effective. Not long after you left, your third sister-in-law took it and had sex with your third sister-in-law twice, and it worked, hehe. ..."
"Don't talk anymore..." Ma Yuan interrupted, "Let's go, go in, go in."
...
The group entered Xiakou Pass and settled down. Ma Xiaoquan led Fangfang and his son Zhifeng to visit Ma Mu.
Inside the house, Ma Mu and her second sister-in-law Qiao Yu and her third sister-in-law were quietly picking up the soles of their shoes. Ma Xiaoquan pushed open the door. Ma Mu was stunned for a moment, then happily put down the needlework in her hand, got down on the bed and came over.
"Quan'er, you're here, why didn't you tell mother?" Ma Mu complained.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "I told you, why didn't the second brother and the third brother tell you?"
Ma Tihu glared at Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng, and the two laughed and scratched their heads.
"Eh? Quan'er, this is..." Ma Mu looked at Fangfang.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, Fangfang hugged Zhifeng and stepped forward, respectfully shouting: "Mother..."
Ma Mu was stunned for a moment, then she immediately came to her senses and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "This is the Fang you mentioned...what is Fang?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, let me call her Fangfang."
Ma Mu pulled Fangfang down to her side, looked at her carefully, and said, "What a cute little girl."
Fangfang was so flattered that she lowered her head and dared not speak.
"This must be my grandson, right?" Mother Ma reached out and touched little Zhifeng's head, and the little guy grinned.
"Yeah, it's really interesting. Come on, let grandma hug her~~" Mother Ma took little Zhifeng from Fangfang's hands. The little guy waved his little hands happily, not recognizing him at all.
The horse mother was amused by the little guy's cuteness and said, "Did you see that? This is a member of our Ma family. They don't recognize life at all."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "Second and third brothers said the same thing, haha... Oh, by the way, mother, where is father?"
Ma Mu sighed and said: "There is a shortage of people at Rolling Stone Pass, so your father went to help. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while."
"Rolling Stone Pass?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, "Aren't there no Jurchen troops there?"
Ma Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "That was before. Ever since Gao Di gave up the pass outside the pass, we have to guard every pass inside the pass. Not far from the Rolling Stone Pass, there is a part of the Jurchen Army... ....”
Ma Xiaoquan sighed, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
"You haven't eaten yet, let Yu'er cook something for you two." Ma Mu said.
Fangfang blushed and said quickly: "Mom... let me do it. I will take care of your daily life."
"Sir?" Mother Ma glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, stretched out her hand and slapped him on the head, "Why did you let your woman call you "Sir?"
Ma Xiaoquan covered the back of his head and said unjustly: "It's not me... I'm used to Fangfang's screams..."
Fangfang also nodded and said: "Yes, mother, I'm used to it..."
"Well, okay then~~ Then you and Yu'er can do it together."
...
After the meal, Ma Mu took Ma Xiaoquan and Fangfang and sat together to chat about recent events in the capital.
Ma Xiaoquan told Ma's mother about the construction of ancestral halls for Wei Zhongxian across the country. After hearing this, Ma's mother was so angry that she slammed the table.
"The old eunuch, who has no chickens, but still builds an ancestral hall, won't it mean that if someone worships him, he will have no descendants?" Ma Mu said rudely.
Qiao Yu and Shen Jing covered their mouths and almost laughed out loud, while Fangfang lowered her head and did not dare to talk to each other. Ma Yuanma Cheng, on the other hand, burst out laughing.
Ma Xiaoquan also shook his head repeatedly and said: "Mom, you are too direct."
Ma Mu disagreed: "Really, do you think what I said is right?"
Ma Yuan and Ma Cheng quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, mom is right, hehe..."
...
Ma Mu asked, "Why didn't Yue'er and Xiaomei come, and that lustful woman you married?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Oh, Yue'er is pregnant and has returned to her parents' home. Xiaomei can't come because she still has some family matters in the capital. As for Lisa, she is busy looking after the bank for me, so she can't come either.
.”
Ma Xiaoquan deliberately concealed the reason why Beiming Shuangxue did not come. In fact, Beiming Shuangxue was there to supervise Mrs. Ma, not because there was something wrong with her family.
Of course, Mother Ma didn't know that Ma Xiaoquan was lying. She sighed and said, "That's all we can do. Yue'er is pregnant. Are you a boy or a girl?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Mom, how can you tell? It's a boy or a girl. They are all from the Ma family."
Ma Mu clicked her tongue and said: "There are already two bald boys at home. I am exhausted from raising you sons. Therefore, it is best for Yue'er to give birth to a girl for our Ma family. As for Xiaomei, if she has
If she’s pregnant, it’s better to be a girl, hehe, let her leave the Beiming family, hehe~~”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Mom, you are serious. We have agreed that if Xiaomei gives birth to a boy, he will be adopted by the Beiming family. Besides, if he adopts her and raises her well, he will inherit the family head of the Beiming family in the future.
Woolen cloth."
Ma Mu curled her lips: "Tsk, tsk, that sounds easy. What will the Ma family do?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Don't the second brother have a son? The third brother has two more sons. The Ma family is still short of men?"
"No~~" Mother Ma suddenly became serious and asked, "I'm afraid the children of your second brother and third brother will never be able to return to the capital in this life, so your children must be in charge of the house in the capital.
Now that he’s gone, someone has to take over, right?”
"Uh..." Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head. He didn't think about it that much at all. Zhifeng was still young and he didn't know if he would have other sons in the future.
"Look, Mom, now that Zhifeng is here, how about you train him well and become your successor in the future?"
Fangfang was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and waved her hands: "Mom, my daughter-in-law is of low status, and my child..."
Ma Mu interrupted: "What's the difference between being humble and humble? In the Ma family, everyone is equal. Quan'er, that's it. Raise Zhifeng well, do you hear me?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, got it~"
Fangfang looked at Ma Mu with great emotion. She had never thought that her mother would be more valuable than her son, and she never dared to expect that her son would be specially trained by the Ma family.
Ma Xiaoquan patted Fangfang's hand and nodded. Fangfang looked at Ma Xiaoquan affectionately and said silently in her heart: In this life, no matter the wind or rain, I will only be with this man.
