Summary of the previous chapter: In the fourth-level "test", Ma Xiaoquan arranged for elimination by voting. Hua Wuxin thought that she would not be eliminated because of her excellence, but who knew that she would be the target of public criticism...
Huang Chang was stunned for a moment, and then took a closer look. He didn't know when Master Shangxian was standing in front of him.
Huang Chang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy: "Sir, please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me, I have no other intentions..."
Ma Xiaoquan helped Huang Chang up and comforted him: "I know you have no other intentions. It doesn't matter. Tell me, why am I so mediocre?"
Huang Chang is a child of a big family. Hearing that Master Shangxian didn't mean to blame him, he pulled him up, quickly regained his expression and said seriously: "If you don't say anything else, it's just me and Brother Hua who have become so obviously
You are the target of public criticism, can’t Master Shangxian still see it?”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and motioned for Huang Chang to continue.
Huang Chang hummed and continued: "Furthermore, in the previous tests, Brother Hua and I were at the top, and those guys can't be said to be at the bottom, but at least they were behind me, but now
, Because of your voting system, Master Shangxian, the two of us were eliminated... I don’t accept it."
As soon as Huang Chang finished speaking, Hua Wuxin stood up and complained: "I don't accept it either!"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and chuckled: "Are you two dissatisfied just because of this?"
They both nodded.
"Okay! Then I'll give you two another chance! I don't know if you want it or not?"
When the two of them heard this, their eyes lit up and they nodded.
"Before that, I have a question to ask you two. Please answer me truthfully!"
"Please ask, Lord Immortal!"
"First question?" Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand and asked, "Do you want to be my subordinate?"
The two said in unison: "Think!"
"Okay, second question, do you know that people who are my subordinates may die? Are you afraid of death?"
Hua Wuxin was silent, but Huang Chang immediately replied: "What's so scary about death? In this troubled world, you can either make contributions and rise up to do something great, or you can be like a great immortal, playing with the world and being free and easy.
....."
"Playing in the world...free and easy..." Ma Xiaoquan nodded with satisfaction and said happily, "Well said! Then...Huang Chang, I ask you, you
What kind of person do you want to be?”
Huang Chang thought for a moment: "A person as dashing as the Immortal."
"You don't want to be an official? Don't want to be an official? Don't want to be rich?"
Huang Chang curled his lips: "You can't be rich for three generations, and you can't be poor for three generations. Instead of pursuing those false reputations that you have, it's better to survive in this troubled world... Of course, in order to make your life better, appropriate
It is necessary to have some power and money..."
Huang Chang's words just touched Ma Xiaoquan's heart, and the reason why Ma Xiaoquan did not ask Hua Wuxin was because he had already asked in the room on the second floor.
"Hmm..." Looking at Huang Chang and Hua Wuxin, Ma Xiaoquan pondered.
After a while, Ma Xiaoquan finally said: "Let's do this, you two, I will make an exception and take them under my command..."
"Great!" The two clapped their hands happily.
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "However, you two are not allowed to mention this to anyone externally!"
They both knelt down and said, "I obey my master's instructions!"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "In addition, Hua Wuxin, Huang Chang, you two, I will talk to you two separately at a later time, and then determine your tasks and responsibilities. Do you... have any opinions?"
Huang Changhua and Wuxin shook their heads and said in unison: "No!"
"good......"
...
After talking with Huang Changhua and Wuxin, the results of the second round of voting eliminations came out.
Two more people were eliminated in this round, but for these two people, Ma Xiaoquan did not treat Huang Chang and Hua Wuxin the same way, but simply let them pack up and leave.
...
In the third round, one person was eliminated...it was not until eight people were left that the voting stopped.
Ma Xiaoquan put his hands behind his back and walked squarely, pacing back and forth in front of the eight people.
The eight people standing in front of Ma Xiaoquan now are the last eight people left after the test these days. Ma Xiaoquan thought about it and said to the eight people: "Let me give you a name, it sounds nice, eh
, I’ll call you...um...Eight Scholars of Yecheng...what do you think?"
The eight people nodded and said in unison: "We will obey the master's instructions! Thank you master for the number!"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and asked the identities and families of these eight people one by one. After asking around, Ma Xiaoquan learned that 4 of the families of these eight people were gentry, and among these 4 people, the northern gentry
Accounted for three-quarters.
Ma Xiaoquan felt happy in his heart and thought: After Cao Pi came to the throne, he changed his father Cao Cao's suppression strategy and tried his best to restore the status of the gentry. This was the case until the Jin Dynasty. From this point of view, my Ma family will not enter the gentry class immediately, at least
In the next few decades, I can live a very good life, haha...
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and the happier he became, the more he wanted to laugh. Finally, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
When the Eight Scholars of Yecheng saw their master smiling, they also laughed loudly.
...
After several months of testing, when he returned to the Ma Family Courtyard, there were eight more people in the Ma Family Courtyard. For these eight people, Ma Xiaoquan assigned them positions based on their personality characteristics and specialties; another
On the other hand, as for Hua Wuxin and Huang Chang, since they were not among the eight people, Ma Xiaoquan postponed their arrangements.
Ma Xiaoquan's original intention of establishing his own team was actually just to allow the family to survive in this troubled world longer, but what he didn't expect was...a few years after he left, the rebels rebelled, and it happened to be
These eight people became the first vanguard for his sons Ma Zheng and Ma Qiang to put down the chaos...
At the end of the 11th year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty, Qingyi successfully gave birth to a baby boy. Ma Xiaoquan promised Qingyi to let her name her son. Qingyi happily gave her son the single name Qiang.
"Ma Qiang?" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said to himself, "It seems that my family history is really long..."
Looking at Xiao Ma Qiang in Qing Yi's arms, Ma Xiaoquan said proudly: Wei Xiaobao has seven wives, and I, Ma Xiaoquan, also have seven wives. I can guarantee that my seven wives are definitely much prettier than Wei Xiaobao's seven wives, hehe.
...
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan reached out and pinched Qing Yi's butt. Qing Yi noticed it and deftly avoided Ma Xiaoquan's hands.
"This..." Ma Xiaoquan looked at Qing Yi with confusion on his face.
Qing Yi said with a smile: "My husband, my son is here. My husband, I want to breastfeed my son, so you just have to be patient these days..."
Ma Xiaoquan: "..."
Qing Yi pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "By the way, Mrs. Yue'er and the others dragged me to tell my husband that they also need to educate their children well, so, Mr. Xian, if you... then I'm sorry."
...Also, Mrs. Yue'er said that if my husband dares to bring a woman home again, he will be castrated..."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan heard this, a chill ran down his back.
"What kind of world is this?" Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed that he was being unfairly accused.
...
At the end of the first month of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (AD 207), Ma Xiaoquan, who had been holding back for almost a month, couldn't bear it anymore.
"No, his grandma won't let him sleep. I have to find a way. Otherwise, I have to suffocate me to death...someone comes..."
Two servants came in and Ma Xiaoquan asked, "How are you ladies doing lately?"
The servant replied: "To tell you what my master is saying, the ladies are all taking care of their children, but Mrs. Miaoyu is not too busy recently..."
"Mrs. Miaoyu? Oh, Miaoyu, right? OK, I understand. You can go down."
"yes!"
After the servant left, Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and smiled: "Okay, let's go find Miaoyu, hehe!"
...
At night, Ma Xiaoquan put on his night clothes and secretly lurked at the door of Miaoyu's room.
"Bang bang bang" Ma Xiaoquan gently knocked on Miaoyu's door.
"Who?"
"Bang bang bang" Ma Xiaoquan knocked three more times.
With a "creak" sound, the door opened a gap.
Ma Xiaoquan inserted the pin smoothly and pushed the door open.
"Xiang..." Before Miaoyu could open her mouth, Ma Xiaoquan covered her mouth.
"It's me, don't make any noise, my wonderful jade, I'm almost suffocated to death."
Miaoyu blinked her eyes and immediately understood what Ma Xiaoquan meant.
Ma Xiaoquan let go of his hand, put his hand into Miaoyu's skirt, and started to pinch it.
"Yeah." Miaoyu also had not been caressed by a man for a month, and her body became extremely sensitive. As soon as Ma Xiaoquan grabbed a handful of her, Miaoyu began to gasp.
"Damn, I can't stand it anymore." Ma Xiaoquan hugged Miaoyu and prepared to enter the house.
"My husband, I can't..."
"Huh? Why not?"
Miaoyu's pretty face turned red: "Yan'er is sleeping in the room..."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "It doesn't matter, we just take it easy..."
After finishing speaking, Ma Xiaoquan picked up Miaoyu and rushed into the room without waiting for Miaoyu's reply...
When drought comes and rain comes, a good field needs a good plow to work, and a hungry woman needs a strong man to nourish it, especially...the feeling of collision.
..... Several times, Miaoyu couldn't help but scream, but fortunately Ma Xiaoquan covered her mouth in time...
Despite this, Xiao Mayan was still woken up by the sound.
"Mother..." In the darkness, Ma Yan couldn't find her mother, Miaoyu, and started to tremble nervously.
