Taking over the jade token from Ma Xiaoquan, Jing's eyes brightened significantly.
Although he had never seen the giant snake and centipede that his master was talking about, as the executive officer of Fenghuo, he had already obtained very detailed information about the defense battle of Thorn City in the past, so Jing was very excited to be able to control the giant dragon and centipede.
, even if he can't think of what he is going to use it for yet, with this card in hand, even if he encounters desperate difficulties in the future, he may be able to turn the tables with one move.
"Thank you, Master!" Jing responded respectfully.
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, bowed slightly and retreated.
After settling the follow-up work for the mirror and the beacon fire, Ma Xiaoquan went to visit the two elders of the Wan family, Princess Ye and Mrs. Jin.
In the past, when Ma Xiaoquan entered the Wan family as Wan Shanhe, it was their two elders who gave him the greatest help.
At this time, Princess Ye and Mrs. Jin were getting together to drink tea. When they saw Ma Xiaoquan, the two elders waved to him politely and motioned for him to sit down and drink tea together.
Ma Xiaoquan was not polite. He smiled and sat in front of the two elders. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the two elders respectfully.
"Auntie, auntie, Shanhe will lend flowers to the Buddha and invite the two elders to tea."
Princess Ye and Mrs. Jin have not seen each other for more than ten years, and both have silver hair. However, due to proper maintenance, they are both in good spirits.
"Shanhe, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but you have grown a lot." Princess Ye teased, "Your boy's achievements are very high."
Mrs. Jin nodded: "Yes, Shanhe, you are much better than Tianyang."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head quickly: "No, no, no, I am always not as good as Tianyang. I think both aunt and uncle know that during the Hongzhou Crusade War in the past, I was busy in the front, but I went to study in seclusion later, waiting for the defense of Thorn City.
I just showed up."
"Oh, but it is said that you can control fire, is it true?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, stretched out his right hand, and a light blue flame emerged from his palm.
"Oh? It's so magical." Princess Ye and Mrs. Jin stared at the blue flames with wide eyes.
"Well, this is a coincidence. In fact, it was taught by the Vulcan Empress of the United Nations. Of course, not everyone can learn it. I am also a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse."
Seeing that the two elders were silent, Ma Xiaoquan immediately changed the subject: "Where is Tianyang? I haven't seen him in the past few days since I came back. He should be considered the young master of the Wan family now, right? Aunt, Tianyang's temperament has changed over the years.
Is it done?"
Mrs. Jin sighed: "This child Tianyang has a completely different temperament from yours. He has softened a lot in recent years, but he is always cold and has no meaning at all. I gave him some advice a few days ago.
It was a marriage, but when he saw the woman, he was stunned and didn’t say a word. I was really angry to death."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "How can any mother criticize her son like this? But it is beyond my expectation that Tianyang is not married yet. Auntie, what about Yubo? Yubo is married, right?"
Princess Ye sighed: "That child Yubo has been with Tianyang since you left. He has grown and matured a lot in these years, but like Tianyang, he is not married, which really worries me to death.
."
"Ah? These two brothers~~" Ma Xiaoquan was surprised that Wan Tianyang and Wan Yubo didn't get married, and he was also surprised when their relationship became so good.
"Shanhe, I think you have many connections and abilities. Why don't you go meet the monarch and ask him to grant you a marriage, so that those two boys won't fool us anymore." Mrs. Jin suggested.
"Yes, it should be like this, it should be like this~" Princess Ye also nodded.
"Uh~~" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head, "Auntie, auntie, it's not impossible to do this, but you can't force it. Do they have a woman they like?"
"Yes, yes, but, hey~~" Princess Ye and Mrs. Jin sighed together.
"They both fell in love with the same woman, right?"
Mrs. Jin shook her head: "That's not true, but the women they love are all from ordinary families. They don't like any of the ladies that your aunt and I introduced to them. You talk about this marriage,
You have to be well-matched, right? If they marry a girl from an ordinary family and come to our big family, won't they be bullied?"
"A girl from an ordinary family~~" Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin, "This is also a real problem, but it doesn't matter, it's all on me."
"Really? That's great~" Princess Ye stood up, took Ma Xiaoquan's hand, and said to Mrs. Jin, "I'm just telling you, this kid Shanhe has a way."
Mrs. Jin nodded.
The next day, Ma Xiao met with Yang Ruichen, the young king of Heiqing, and explained the marriage of Wan Tianyang and Wan Yubo to the king.
After listening to Ma Xiaoquan's explanation, Yang Ruichen was happy to be a matchmaker for the Wan brothers. Of course, as for the well-matched issue that Princess Ye and Mrs. Jin were worried about, Yang Ruichen made a bold decision and got an official family for those two ordinary women.
Although his status did not bring any privileges, he still approved a large amount of dowry. As for the families of the two women, the monarch also made appropriate arrangements and decisions.
"Thank you, Your Majesty~" Ma Xiaoquan said respectfully and politely with his hands in hand.
"Brother, you're welcome. This is all I can do."
Ma Xiaoquan patted Yang Ruichen on the shoulder: "You have grown a lot~"
Yang Ruichen smiled bitterly and said, "But it's also very tiring."
Ma Xiaoquan joked: "Being the king of a country is not tiring, but I still hope that you can combine work and rest. If you can leave some things to the people below, just let them do it. You just have to grasp the general direction."
Yang Ruichen nodded: "I know, brother, by the way, how long do you plan to stay in Blackwater City?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "After meeting you today, I will go back to United Unity tomorrow."
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan wanted to say that he was ready to leave this world completely, but when he thought about it, Yang Ruichen probably didn't know some things about his father Yang Jie in the past, so he didn't go on.
"Okay, I won't force you to stay. If you go there, remember to contact me."
"Okay~~"
...
Half a month later, Ma Xiaoquan returned to United Unity.
As soon as I entered the house, I found that the furnishings in the house were completely new. Not only that, but many festive objects were also added.
"This is..." Ma Xiaoquan looked around.
"Oh, Zhifeng is getting married, and I'm just waiting for you to come back to take him down with the betrothal gift." Beiming Shuangxue walked out and said with a smile.
"Zhifeng is getting married? Why didn't I know?"
Bei Mingshuang gave Ma Xiaoquan a white look and asked, "Why don't you know? You clearly replied to the letter and asked us to prepare it first."
Ma Xiaoquan slapped his head and apologized quickly: "Are you talking about the letter you wrote to me when I was in Heiqing Country?"
"What else?" Beiming Shuangxue said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, the betrothal gift is ready. As a father, you are not responsible at all. You must go to give the betrothal gift today. Zhifeng will go with you...
..Shuyi, come here and let your dad change into new clothes."
Shuyi and Zhifeng walked respectfully in front of Ma Xiaoquan.
Looking at the pair of children in front of him, Ma Xiaoquan was very pleased. Although he was back, he had not paid much attention to Shuyi and Zhifeng because he had to be busy with many things. Since Huayue passed away, their lives have been filled with frost and snow.
In charge, once Ma Xiaoquan was worried that the two would reject Beiming Shuangxue, but now seeing them looking at him so respectfully, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt that even if he left, the Ma family would not decline.
In the bedroom, Beiming Shuangxue waited on Ma Xiaoquan to take a bath and change clothes.
"Are you leaving~" Beiming Shuangxue asked while massaging Ma Xiaoquan's temples.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed softly.
"It's okay, although I want you to stay with me all the time, but your ageless face makes me very scared..." Beiming Shuangxue sighed, "In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and I am all four
You are over ten years old, but you still look like you are in your twenties... In a few years, when we go out, outsiders will probably think you are my son."
Ma Xiaoquan stood up and hugged Beiming Shuangxue: "So what?"
Beiming Shuangxue lay in Ma Xiaoquan's arms: "You may not think so, but I am a woman, and I mind it very much... I am not as ageless as Princess Ting, so I am very afraid that I will grow old."
"You women are really... By the way, where is Ting? Didn't you see her when you came back today?"
"Well, she said she has something to deal with, so it's inconvenient to see you for the time being. By the way, during the period when you are no longer here, United Unity has already elected a new CEO."
Ma Xiaoquan frowned: "Didn't Ting tell me that her lifespan is about to end?"
"Yes, but recently I heard her say that she got an ancient prescription, which seems to be able to extend some life. Hey, I think, when the end of a person's life has come, he should know his destiny. Anyway, I will be too old to move in the future, and I won't
Will be like her."
"This...she is really true. She has lived for more than a hundred years, and she is still like this..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. Although he did not agree with Princess Ting's style, he chose
It was done by others, how could I have any control over it?
"Okay~~ I know you can't bear to leave us, but you have your own affairs. Even if you grow old with me, one day I leave, you still have to leave, so I think I still have some points left in my life.
Let you leave when you are beautiful, so that I will always be beautiful in my heart." Beiming Shuangxue said, but tears flowed out involuntarily.
"Shuangxue..." Ma Xiaoquan hugged Beiming Shuangxue tightly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you~"
"No, don't say sorry. You don't belong to this era. You should go back to the era that belongs to you. Well, you said you were performing a mission, so I have a small request. If possible, you can carry it out later.
Mission, don’t have any emotional involvement with any woman anymore, okay?”
"I promise you, I will definitely promise you!" Ma Xiaoquan held up Beiming Shuangxue's face and kissed her deeply.
