After a while, Niu Dan called his sweetheart Xiao Hua over.
Xiaohua was holding a quilt in her arms. Seeing Ma Xiaoquan, Xiaohua was very excited, as if Ma Xiaoquan was her biological father.
"Uncle~~ Xiaohua will make your bed first. I happen to have some work to do... I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon..." Niu Dan patted his chest and said.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed: "Okay, then go ahead~"
As soon as Niu Dan went out, Xiao Hua rushed to the window and took a look. After watching for a while, Xiao Hua turned around, smiled and said to Ma Xiaoquan: "Uncle, let me make your bed..."
Ma Xiaoquan squinted as he watched Xiaohua make the bed. At this time, Xiaohua's butt was facing Ma Xiaoquan.
Not to mention, although this woman looks average and looks quite thin, her butt is quite big and round, which is very attractive.
Xiaohua also seemed to know that Ma Xiaoquan was staring at her butt, so the bed that could have been made quickly, she had to take her time, deliberately twisting her buttocks while making the bed.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know what this woman was thinking. At the same time, he thought it was funny, but at the same time he felt pity for Niu Dan. Niu Dan couldn't love this kind of woman. Oh, it was really hard for him.
"Uncle...I've prepared it for you..." Xiaohua turned around and said delicately.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded slightly and said expressionlessly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go out first~"
Xiaohua let out a somewhat disappointed sound, and when she walked past Ma Xiaoquan, she didn't forget to take a few more glances.
At this time, Niu Dan came into the house with a sweating profusely carrying a brazier. When Xiaohua saw Niu Dan, she was so frightened that she quickly turned away, obviously feeling guilty.
Niu Dan was honest and upright, but he didn't notice the changes in Xiao Hua's expression and movements. He held the brazier in front of Ma Xiaoquan and said: "Uncle, this is the brazier I made for you. It's cold in the room, so the brazier warms the fire.
It’s very comfortable.”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, thank you for your thoughtfulness. It's getting late, Niudan, please send Xiaohua back."
"Yes, uncle~"
...
After Niu Dan and Xiao Hua left, Ma Xiaoquan carefully inspected Niu Dan's house, especially the bed and the brazier that Niu Dan had just brought in. Ma Xiaoquan made a key inspection.
After confirming that there was no problem, Ma Xiaoquan lay down on the bed with peace of mind.
That night, Ma Xiaoquan slept soundly.
...
The next day, when Ma Xiaoquan woke up, eggs and eggs had been prepared for breakfast.
There is nothing rich in the small village, and the breakfast is very simple. There are no famous dark fruits for the two of them.
Niudan rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Uncle, I don't have much here. This is the best. Well, this is a wild fruit I got from the mountains. It's delicious when roasted and eaten."
Ma Xiaoquan gave the cow egg a white look and asked, "Didn't I give you two taels of silver yesterday? Why don't you go buy something delicious?"
Niu Dan chuckled and said: "Early in the morning, a rouge seller came. The young one gave Xiaohua two taels of silver to buy rouge."
"I'll go...you idiot..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head helplessly, "Okay, okay, bring it to me to try."
Niu Dan carefully handed the wild fruit to Ma Xiaoquan, who took it in his hand and it was still very warm.
The fruit looks like a potato, but it tastes different, at least not as starchy.
After breakfast, Ma Xiaoquan asked Niu Dan: "Where is Lao Wang next door to you? What is he doing?"
Niu Dan said: "I'm just telling you, sir. Lao Wang took the people who lived in his house out early in the morning. I don't know where they went. Also, Niu Er came back last night and is sleeping at home right now.
Hey, hey~~"
"Oh, let's go to Lao Wang's house next door."
Niu Dan shook his head and said: "Uncle, I don't dare to go. That old lady from Lao Wang's family is so powerful. When she saw her, she beat her with a broom. She must have been thinking about her girl...
."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and patted Niu Dan on the shoulder: "Okay, then don't go. I'll go."
...
Lao Wang's house next door to Niu Dan's house was much larger than Niu Dan's house. Ma Xiaoquan stood outside and counted. There were six houses and a quite large yard. Of course, it was a house in a village after all.
It's not that luxurious either.
There was no door in the fence, so Ma Xiaoquan entered the yard smoothly, walked to the door of the largest house, raised his hand and knocked a few times.
The door opened, and a young woman stuck her head out. She originally had an impatient expression on her face, but when she saw Ma Xiaoquan, she was stunned for a moment, then opened the door completely and stared at Ma Xiaoquan for a long time.
"Who are you?" the young woman asked.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "I'm a passerby. I'm on my way back to the capital. I passed by here by chance and saw that your family is quite big. I wanted to stay and have a rest."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth, the young woman's heart was filled with joy. This man knew a lot about Beijing movies. Looking at his expression, he was so calm and composed. Well, people in Beijing are either rich or noble.
"Come in, please come in. We happen to have an empty room at home." The young woman said with a smile.
As soon as the young woman finished speaking, a woman's voice came over: "Mom, where are the empty houses? They are all occupied."
The young woman rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Then give up your house~"
"Ah?" A young woman ran out. She was small and exquisite, with a good figure. If she looked like that little flower, she should be much prettier.
When the young woman saw Ma Xiaoquan, she was also stunned. Then she walked up to Ma Xiaoquan with blinking eyes, raised her head and said, "Mom, where did this person come from? Is he also here to dig for treasures?"
The young woman quickly came to give the woman a hand and said, "It's too troublesome, go back to the house~"
The young woman curled her lips, shook off the old woman's hand, and asked Ma Xiaoquan, "Where are you from?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Hello, girl, I was traveling around. Now I've had enough fun and am ready to go back to the capital."
"The capital..." When the young woman heard Ma Xiaoquan talking about the capital, her eyes immediately narrowed. Ma Xiaoquan knew that this little girl should be looking forward to the capital. No wonder, the capital is the most prosperous place after all, and everyone wants to
Go and have a look.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Girl, do you want to visit the capital?"
The woman nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the group of people who came to the house before, like the young master, speak with a Beijing accent. They have been talking about the good things about Beijing these days."
"Huh? They are also from the capital?"
The old woman grabbed the young woman and pushed her into the room. She also raised her finger to warn her. The young woman pouted, turned her head and walked away.
"Haha... This young master, I'm really sorry. My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. I hope you don't mind."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "Where is my daughter? She needs to be rich so that she can marry into a good family in the future, right? Haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan's words touched the young woman's mind. She squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the master is right. Ah, please come in, the master. Please come in, Jing'er, come out and pour the master some tea."
The young woman who had entered the room just now stuck her head out, glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and said, "Why don't you pour it? You have to let me pour it~ I won't~"
"You girl, why are you so..."
Before the young woman finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Okay, don't bother me anymore. Just give me a cup of hot water."
"How can this be done? How can the young master neglect the young master when he is a distinguished guest from the capital... If the young master does not dislike it, the old woman will pour you some tea."
After that, the young woman came forward in person and poured Ma Xiaoquan a cup of hot tea.
After Ma Xiaoquan nodded his thanks, he asked: "Does this eldest sister look very young? Haha..."
The young woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled and touched her face and said, "Young Master is really good at talking~"
"Where is it? Sister, does she look young? By the way, sister, why did I listen to what your wife said about digging for treasures? Why, there are treasures in this village?"
The young woman rolled her eyes and sighed: "Baby, to be honest, I have never seen it, but my family is very enthusiastic and hangs around with those people who are also from the capital all day long...
..”
"Oh~~" Ma Xiaoquan said oh, thinking that this woman has a scheming plan, she didn't talk about it, she even hid it, huh, it looks like she has to use some tricks.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, moved his body inadvertently, and with a clatter, a small bag fell to the ground.
"Oh~~" Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head and smiled and said, "I dropped my money bag..." After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan picked up the small bag on the ground casually.
During this process, Ma Xiaoquan deliberately shook his hand and slipped out a gold ingot from the small bag.
Yes, it's a gold ingot. It's not big, but it's definitely a gold ingot.
When the young woman saw the gold ingot, she was startled for a moment, then narrowed her eyebrows and watched Ma Xiaoquan put the ingot into the money bag.
Ma Xiaoquan put away the money bag, picked up the tea cup as if nothing had happened, and asked: "Wandering around, can I get the treasure here?"
The young woman said: "Young master, you don't know something. Niu Er at the head of the village dug up some kind of treasure. He made fifty taels of silver at once, and then he used thirty taels to give Lao Suntou his daughter Xiaohua.
Married away, young master, you don’t know that the little flower is worth thirty taels no matter what it looks like. Then if my daughter gets married, the bride price will be three hundred taels no matter what, huh~~"
"Oh, three hundred taels, isn't that too much..."
"Not too much, not too much, my daughter is valuable."
The young woman came out and said unhappily: "Mom, did I ask you to sell it? No matter how much you sell it, it won't be worth what your brother lost in gambling."
