Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan found six wives in a row, but it was a pity... As the head of the family, Ma Xiaoquan was either complained or ignored. In desperation, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to choose the last stop in his wife Hua Yuexin's boudoir.
.....
Ma Xiaoquan frowned, turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Bian.
Mrs. Bian was originally one of Cao Cao's concubines, but due to the death of her eldest son Cao Ang in Wancheng, Mrs. Ding and Cao Cao had a rift. After an awkward argument, she said goodbye to Cao Cao and "divorced" Cao Cao.
After Ding left like this, Cao Cao's concubines all showed their hospitality to Cao Cao to please him.
The marriage system of the Han Dynasty was a system of one husband and one wife with multiple concubines. In other words, as long as you can become the head wife, you will not only be extremely noble in status, but also have absolute say in the internal affairs of the family.
Cao Cao was not stupid. Faced with the attentiveness and flattery of a large number of concubines, he finally chose Bian, who never asked for himself and acted in a low-key manner, as his first wife.
Cao Cao's decision is undoubtedly the most correct.
Mrs. Bian was also very successful and gave birth to four sons to Cao Cao. Except for Cao Xiong, who was frail and sick since childhood, the eldest son Cao Pi acted steadily and was now ranked among the top five officials. He was the right-hand man of her husband Cao Cao; the second son Cao Zhang was born with supernatural powers, and
He loved martial arts and helped his father put down surrounding rebellions many times as an adult, making great military exploits. The third son, Cao Zhi, had a high level of literary attainments and was good at all kinds of poetry, poetry, and songs...
Ma Xiaoquan was very surprised. Mrs. Bian was usually a very low-key person, so why did she pat him on the shoulder so mischievously today?
With doubts, Ma Xiaoquan said: "Haha, hello, Mrs. Bian."
Mrs. Bian saluted Ma Xiaoquan and said with a smile: "Master Shangxian, why don't you go in at the door?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "There are people in Madam's boudoir. In the past two days, there have been many ladies coming to my Ma family courtyard... Even the distinguished Mrs. Bian came, haha...
."
Mrs. Bian nodded: "Master Immortal is ridiculous, a poor woman is just a woman..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly: "Mrs. Bian, there is no need to be modest. Haha, Mrs. Bian has just arrived. Let's go in together."
Mrs. Bian hummed.
...
"Ms....Mrs. Bian..." As soon as Ma Xiaoquan and Mrs. Bian entered the hospital, Hua Yuexin and Hua Lin came forward and greeted them warmly.
Mrs. Bian nodded, and the attendant immediately delivered a large box.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Yue'er"
Hua Yuexin's pretty face turned red: "What are you talking about? Mrs. Bian is being polite."
Mrs. Bian smiled slightly: "What's so polite about this? Mrs. Yue'er will be Mrs. Mingyue from now on, haha..."
Hua Yuexin nodded, looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and asked: "Mr. Bian, were you the one who accompanied Mrs. Bian to get up?"
Just when Ma Xiaoquan was about to say no, Mrs. Bian quickly said: "Yes, I really appreciate you and your wife."
When Hua Yuexin heard this, she was very happy. This woman is beautiful and being taken care of by a man will give him face and face. And if a man respects women and women's friends, he will also give women face and face.
Hua Yuexin is a woman who comes from a big family, and her status is already noble. Since marrying Ma Xiaoquan, her status has improved to a higher level, but... she has been chatting with the wives and concubines of those high-ranking officials in the past two days.
You know, most of their men just think of themselves as women giving birth to children, and sometimes they don't even look at themselves.
Hua Yuexin was also worried that her husband, Ma Xiaoquan, would think of her this way, but today when she saw her husband leading Mrs. Bian in, Hua Yuexin's tense heart suddenly felt relieved.
Women are very strange animals. As long as they are in a good mood, they will stick to you no matter what you say.
Due to Ma Xiaoquan's "casual" behavior, Hua Yuexin didn't mention anything about her son Ma Zheng during the entire reception, which made Ma Xiaoquan feel at ease.
In the evening, Ma Xiaoquan and his wife warmly entertained the visiting ladies.
It is said that men like wine and lust, but in fact women do too. As the only men present, at the beginning of the banquet, those ladies were still reserved. After three rounds of wine, their true colors were revealed one by one, and some even went so far as to show off their true colors.
Hua Yuexin teased Ma Xiaoquan with her face.
Seeing that his wife looked very unnatural, Ma Xiaoquan quickly made an excuse to urinate and escape.
Good guy, if you continue to stay like this, your performance during the day will probably be in vain.
Returning to the bedroom alone, Ma Xiaoquan was preparing to take a rest when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw it was Mrs. Bian.
Mrs. Bian was accompanied by two maids. It seemed that Mrs. Bian had something to say to herself.
"Huh? Mrs. Bian, I'm here late at night. What's the matter?"
Mrs. Bian nodded with a smile and said, "Master Shangxian, actually I have three purposes for coming here today."
"Oh? Tell me!"
Mrs. Bian said: "I am here, firstly, to congratulate Mrs. Mingyue, and secondly, on behalf of my husband, to say hello to Lord Shangxian..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Xiao Cao is too polite, haha..."
"The third..." Mrs. Bian paused and said, "The third is my personal private matter, and I want to ask for help from the Supreme Immortal."
"Oh?" Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised. Although he had a good relationship with Cao Cao, he had basically no interaction with Mrs. Bian. Of course, there was no possibility of any intersection. Mrs. Bian suddenly asked herself... Well, listen first.
Listen and see...
"Mrs. Bian said it doesn't matter. As long as I can do it, I can consider doing it."
Ma Xiaoquan kept his words to himself, and did not guarantee the settlement just because Mrs. Bian asked for her for the first time. After all, Mrs. Bian had not said anything to entrust her to him. If this woman wanted to stay young forever, he would agree first.
Wouldn't that reveal the truth?
Mrs. Bian nodded slightly and said, "The poor woman wants Master Shangxian to help Zhi'er."
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Cao Zhi? What happened to Cao Zhi?"
Mrs. Bian said awkwardly: "Zhi'er recently attracted a lot of criticism because of an article..."
Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed, and then asked: "But that poem called Ruyi Fu that Cao Zhi wrote a few days ago?"
Mrs. Bian nodded: "That's right!"
"Oh" Ma Xiaoquan hummed.
This Ruyi Fu was composed impromptu by Cao Zhi when he was invited to attend a literati party a few days ago. Of course, there was no such thing as a party in this era. There is nothing special about Cao Zhi's Fu, but there are a few lines in it.
The words touched on the issue of belonging in today's world, and Cao Zhi pointed out the fate of the Han people very unceremoniously.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know what Cao Zhi's mentality was at that time, but Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is still in his position. By writing like this, aren't you looking for those who are willing to put your shoes on?
After hearing Mrs. Bian's request, Ma Xiaoquan was unwilling to agree. This was entirely due to Cao Zhi's wild and unruly behavior. If Ma Xiaoquan didn't handle it well, he might be involved.
During this period of time, I have finally repaired some relations with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Don't let the relationship between the two become tense just because I helped deal with Cao Zhi's matter. It would be a bit more gain than loss. However, with Ma Xiaoquan's temperament, even if it becomes tense,
, I guess he won’t care too much.
Mrs. Bian looked at Ma Xiaoquan's silence, thinking that Ma Xiaoquan would not agree, so she hurriedly said: "I heard from my husband that Master Shangxian likes treasures..."
"Ah?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment. What a bastard Cao Cao, I just talk nonsense about treasures? It's really damn...
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know that among the current officials, everyone with some status knew that Lord Shangxian, Shenxianhou, liked treasures. It's just that Ma Xiaoquan never went to court and didn't know that.
After thinking for a long time, Ma Xiaoquan decided to ask Yuan's opinion first, so he asked Yuan in his heart: "Yuan, do you think I agree?"
In his left eye, Yuan responded angrily: "Nonsense, if you don't make money, you are not a true man, so promise her!"
Ma Xiaoquan: "...You are not a human being, how come you are more greedy than me?"
"I just think the things you humans like are very flashy and beautiful..."
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes helplessly, came to his senses, smiled and said to Mrs. Bian: "Okay, I promise you this."
Mrs. Bian was overjoyed when she heard this. At the same time, she secretly thought that this purple-haired demon really liked treasures as her husband said...
"Sneeze" Ma Xiaoquan sneezed inexplicably, rubbed his nose and murmured, "Why did someone scold me?"
Mrs. Bian blushed, coughed twice, and said: "Then I will leave this matter to the Immortal Lord. The poor woman will leave. The Immortal Lord, tomorrow the poor woman will ask someone to bring the treasure...
"After that, Mrs. Bian bowed to Ma Xiaoquan, turned around and left.
