Summary of the previous chapter: Hu Yanquan exclaimed Ma Xiaoquan's ability and requested that Narathu and other Huns warriors be allowed to stay in the Ma family to serve the Ma family. Ma Xiaoquan thought about it again and again and proposed exchanges and training, and Hu Yanquan agreed. At the same time, the eldest son
Ma Xiao was about to get married, and his third son, Ma Zheng, also found someone he loved... What Ma Xiaoquan didn't expect the most was that his twin sisters would marry the Hun warrior Narathu a year later.
...
In October 21st, the 21st year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and AD 216, Cao Cao resumed his campaign against Sun Quan.
Since Ma Xiaoquan had already stated that he would no longer travel far away, Cao Cao invited Ma Xiaoquan's third son, Ma Zhengyi, to go with him.
Previously, Ma Zheng, a brat who was very single, slept with Miss Huang. Ma Xiaoquan didn’t ask much about the reason, and Ma Zheng didn’t elaborate on it. In short, Miss Huang had transformed from a yellow-flowered girl into Ma Zheng’s.
"Private property"... Seeing that his son was so single, Ma Xiaoquan was a little worried, so he asked Miss Huang and Ma Zheng to follow Cao Cao on the expedition, mainly to monitor Ma Zheng...
In the first month of the 22nd year of Jian'an (AD 217), the eldest son Ma Xiao got married. The object of his marriage was the daughter of a cousin of Sima Yi's aunt's third cousin. Okay, it's a bit convoluted. The girl looked ordinary, although she wasn't.
What a beautiful woman, but she has a certain spirituality. Furthermore, this little girl likes to study medicine very much.
Diao Chan liked this daughter-in-law very much. Firstly, she would have someone to study medicine with, and secondly, she could help her "train" his son.
It is said that the growth of a good man cannot be separated from the women around him, and Diao Chan firmly believes this.
The main reason is Ma Xiaoquan. Of course, since Ma Xiaoquan is a modern man, his respect for women is much higher than that of men of this era. To put it simply, he is not on the same level at all.
When Ma Xiaoquan married Diao Chan, he promised to respect her and love her...More than twenty years later, Ma Xiaoquan has always been like this.
Diao Chan feels very happy. She loves Ma Xiaoquan, deeply. As Ma Xiao's biological mother is called, Diao Chan naturally wants her son to become a man like his father.
As the next generation head of the Ma family, Ma Xiao is well aware of his heavy responsibilities. Since his third brother Ma Zheng has gone with Cao Cao to conquer Sun Quan, his father has given him the decision-making power on many things. Ma Xiao, who was still immersed in the joy of his wedding, suddenly
Somewhat difficult to adapt to.
After one month, Ma Xiao lost a lot of weight.
Seeing her son getting thinner day by day, Diao Chan angrily went to Ma Xiaoquan, "reprimanded" Ma Xiaoquan severely, and asked Ma Xiaoquan to properly intervene in the Ma family's family affairs. After all, Ma Xiaoquan didn't look older at all in appearance, and
Most nights I still find a few wives to have sex with.
These days, Ma Xiaoquan is studying the characters and language of the Baiyi people while studying the solar recorder.
Although Ma Xiaoquan wanted to refuse Diao Chan's request, but seeing Diao Chan's devouring look and Diao Chan's wife "threatening" not to have sex that night, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to "bite the bullet" and agree.
That night, Ma Xiaoquan held a family meeting and took back some of Ma Xiao's power.
Not only was Ma Xiao not happy when his power was taken back, but he was depressed for several days.
Ma Xiao's newlywed daughter-in-law, Sima Yu, saw that her husband was unhappy and worriedly asked Ma Xiao why.
In the evening, Sima Yu found Diao Chan and told her husband's thoughts to her mother-in-law.
When Diao Chan heard this, she was surprised and happy at the same time. She originally thought that her son was too young to bear the heavy responsibility of being the head of the Ma family, but now that her daughter-in-law had revealed her son's thoughts, Diao Chan couldn't help but be happy for her son's courage to take on the responsibility.
That night, Diao Chan took the initiative to find Ma Xiaoquan and fought with Ma Xiaoquan for "three hundred rounds". After making sure that Ma Xiaoquan fell down from exhaustion, Diao Chan mentioned her son Ma Xiao.
Although Ma Xiaoquan has the heart of time in his body, will not age, and has good physical strength, having sex is a whole-body exercise.
After being "killed by a horse" by Diao Chan's wife, Ma Xiaoquan was so sleepy that he didn't pay attention to what his wife said, so he agreed to Diao Chan's wife's request.
The next day, Diao Chan "caught" Ma Xiaoquan for another hundred rounds, causing Ma Xiaoquan to stagger while walking.
While having lunch, Hua Yuexin saw her husband's tired look and advised her: "My husband, although you will not grow old, you should also take care of your health..."
Ma Xiaoquan was also very depressed. When he took the initiative to have sex with Diao Chan a few days ago, Diao Chan was still very reserved. Why was she so crazy last night and this morning?
After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan felt that the saying that a woman is like a tiger at thirty and a wolf at forty is completely correct.
...
Ma Xiao, who regained control of the Ma family's decision-making power, launched a series of major "reforms" young and vigorous. Of course, every reform ultimately required his father's approval.
Because the culture and education he received since he was a child are different from those of other people, many of the reform measures proposed by Ma Xiao are very bold. Unfortunately... because they are too closed-minded, these reform plans of Ma Xiao have not been supported by Ma Xiaoquan.
Final approval.
Ma Xiao was not convinced and asked his father where he went wrong.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and told Ma Xiao that if you want to know the answer, then just pick up the baggage and go out for a while before coming back.
...
In March of the 22nd year of Jian'an and 217 AD, Ma Xiao followed his father Ma Xiaoquan's advice and picked up his baggage alone, leaving the Ma family compound and going out to explore...
At the same time, Cao Cao, who was on an expedition against Sun Quan, also returned "triumphant".
After returning to Yecheng, Cao Cao came to pay homage to Ma Xiaoquan.
Looking at Ma Xiaoquan's still young appearance, Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said: "Master Shangxian, time is ruthless, time is ruthless..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and asked: "Xiao Cao, your triumphant return is actually because you were a little weak against Sun Quan, who is twenty-six years younger than you, right?"
Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Lord Immortal, if I had your immortality, how great would it be if I were ten years younger?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Cao, you are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is. If I have the chance to grow old slowly, I would rather..."
Cao Cao asked curiously: "Does Master Shangxian think it's not good to stay young? You can do a lot of things this way?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Xiao Cao, after you find out that you will not grow old, will you still be so dedicated and try your best to complete the things that you needed to do urgently before? The book you want to read in three days
, will you finish reading it in three days... Of course, being young also has its benefits, for example, you can marry endless women, and you can have unlimited time... But...
..In this way, you will become a traitor, a monster who makes your children unable to see the future...Xiao Cao, when I say this, do you understand how I feel?"
Cao Cao hummed, sighed and said, "Yes, I did think a little too simply..."
Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, who will you choose as your successor after you?"
Cao Cao thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It hasn't been decided yet, but in general, I tend to be more stable."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "I know, but...you actually have a candidate in mind, right?"
Cao Cao chuckled and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Why not, Lord Shangxian? It's just because of this... The word "era" mentioned by Lord Shangxian should be applicable... It's just because of this era,
Master Shangxian and I have both made choices, haven't we?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed loudly and said: "Yes, yes...but Xiao Cao...I am different from you..." Ma Xiaoquan said, taking out the solar energy recorder from his arms
The utensil was handed to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took the solar recorder and looked at it carefully, raised his head and asked: "Sir Shangxian...is this...the object you mentioned?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Cao, have you seen any tricks?"
Cao Cao shook his head and returned the solar recorder to Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Shangxian, I have always had a doubt in my heart... Who are you? In other words, who... are you?
Not a human?"
Ma Xiaoquan put away the solar recorder and said, "I will tell you all about this issue at the appropriate time. Xiao Cao, I guess you have more than just these questions, right?"
Cao Cao nodded.
"Okay, I will make an agreement with you. From now on...I will give you time to think about it. I will list all the questions you can think of. When the time is right, I will give you the answers one by one.
."
"Well, okay, Lord Shangxian, when is the right time?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and did not answer Cao Cao's question.
When Cao Cao saw Lord Shangxian smiling and saying nothing, he smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, then I will be well prepared... By the way, Lord Shangxian, your son Ma Zheng should be
I won’t be able to come back until May.”
"Oh? Why can't I come back in May?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "During the battle between me and Sun Quan, Ma Sangong went out alone many times to help me find out the news. When he came back this time, Ma Sangong asked me to tell you that he wanted to go to Xiangyang...
..."
"Xiangyang?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "This brat is so powerful that he makes his own decisions... Well, okay, let him go."
...
Cao Cao's estimate of time was very accurate. In May of the 22nd year of Jian'an, Ma Zheng led Miss Huang back to Yecheng.
That night when he returned home, Ma Zheng had a deep conversation with his father, Ma Xiaoquan.
