Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan wanted to raid the Lu family mansion again at night, but before he left, Zi Yuexin came to the door and wanted to recognize Ma Xiaoquan as his father. The reason was that Zi Yuexin wanted to marry Ma Xiao...
.
Although the old man's tone was stern, his eyes were full of kindness.
Ma Xiaoquan thought the old man was very interesting, so he interrupted: "Your Majesty followed me late at night. What do you mean?"
The old man turned his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan. He did not answer Ma Xiaoquan's question, but said in surprise: "It is said that the previous head of the Ma Family Courtyard in Yecheng was an immortal and would never grow old. I saw him today, and it turned out to be true.
....."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said politely.
The old man cupped his hands and said, "I am Zichen, the current head of the Zi family."
"Zi Chen? Zi family?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "The head of the Zi family actually came to my thatched cottage in person. Well, it really made this thatched cottage shine, haha...
"
The old man also chuckled: "Where is it? Our Zi family has long wanted to deal with the Ma family. Although today's time is not right, it is still a good day..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "I only have tea in my humble house. I'm a little slow to treat guests. I hope Master Zi doesn't mind."
Zichen shook his head: "No, no, Master Shangxian is too polite. I am also following my granddaughter today. For other matters..."
Ma Xiaoquan interrupted: "Something else? Well, I heard from your granddaughter that she wants to marry my eldest son, Ma Xiao. What does the Master of the Zi family think about this?"
Zichen smoothed the white beard on his chin and nodded with a smile: "This can be done!"
Ma Xiaoquan said helplessly: "Although I, as a father, do not restrict my son's marriage, this matter is not a child's play. The master of the Zi family speaks for himself. Even if I, the father, agree, I am afraid Xiao'er will not agree."
Zi Chen chuckled: "As long as Lord Shangxian doesn't object, our Zi family has our own way, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Wait a minute, I don't agree with this!"
"Um?"
"I don't know your Zi family, why should I marry you?"
Zi Chen sighed and said: "To be honest, our Zi family is in urgent need of a successor."
"Wait a minute," Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand, "You don't want to poach someone and make my son the head of your Zi family, do you?"
Zichen nodded without concealment and said: "I have exactly what I mean."
"Isn't it you?" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Zi Chen in surprise, "Don't you think your Zi family has a suitable heir?"
Zi Chen nodded and said: "There are heirs, but these people are either harboring evil intentions or willing to degenerate. If our Zi family is allowed to be managed by any of these people, it will definitely fall."
"Decline? That's your Zi family's business. Why do you want to involve my Ma family in it? Besides, if you let my son be the head of your Zi family, then your Zi family won't become my Ma family's?"
Zi Yuexin answered: "No, our Zi family has a rule. As long as the husband of the eldest granddaughter inherits the Zi family business, the first male must be named Zi and take over the Zi family business in the future.
."
"Is there such a thing?" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head repeatedly with an incredulous expression.
Zichen didn't care at all about Ma Xiaoquan's surprise: "Sir, the reason why I request you like this is to indirectly save your Ma family."
"Oh? What can Master Zi say?"
Zichen said: "During the time when Master Shangxian was away from Yecheng, a lot of things happened in Yecheng. My granddaughter must have informed you, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
"Actually, there is one more point, which is about Ma Xiao, the current head of the Ma family."
"Xiao'er? What's wrong with Xiao'er?"
"Ma Xiao and Cao Pi made an agreement. As long as your Ma family kills Lu Xian, Ma Xiao must step down as the head of the Ma family... Lord Shangxian, no matter who takes over the subsequent Ma family business,
Let me ask, where should Ma Xiao go?"
"This..." Zichen reminded him like this, and Ma Xiaoquan also hesitated.
Zichen is right. If Ma Xiao does not become the head of the family, his status as the former head of the family will definitely be awkward. Ma Xiaoquan can be sure that his sons have a harmonious relationship, but he is not sure whether the relationship between his grandchildren is harmonious. If Ma Xiao survives
If it lasts long enough, when the grandchildren take over the Ma family's business, Ma Xiao's position will be even more embarrassing.
Zi Chen saw Ma Xiaoquan frowning and thinking, so he struck while the iron was hot: "So... our Zi family urgently needs a head, and Lord Shangxian's eldest son is just right."
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, sighed and said: "Master Zi, with your status, experience and ability, you can definitely train a successor. It's just that I don't understand. Why are you looking for my Ma family?"
Zi Chen sighed and said: "To be honest, there are indeed many outstanding people among the descendants of my Zi family. Originally, my son, Zi Yuexin's father, was going to succeed me as the head of the Zi family, but that stinking
But the boy angrily became a monk because of the death of his beloved wife..."
"What about the grandchildren? There should be some, right?"
Zichen nodded: "Indeed, but because of one person, my most proud grandson also died..."
"One person?"
"Yes, this person is the wife of Lord Immortal, Hua Yuexin..."
"My wife? My wife didn't recruit your Zi family very much, right? Why does it involve my wife again?"
Zichen smiled bitterly: "Master Shangxian, do you remember the bracelet gift from the Hua family?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
"Hey!" Zi Chen said, "Master Shangxian stole the show during the bracelet-wearing ceremony. He won the heart of that little girl Hua Yuexin in one fell swoop, but... he suffered a lot for my grandson."
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and asked: "Master Zi, what is your grandson's name?"
Zichen smiled bitterly and said: "My grandson didn't attend the bracelet-wearing ceremony because he was ill at the time. Otherwise, the husband of that little girl Hua Yuexin would definitely be my grandson now, hey."
Ma Xiaoquan spread his hands and said with some displeasure: "Master Zi, your words are a bit too certain. Let me tell you the truth... After the Hua family gave the gift of a bracelet, they gave Hua Yue Xin
Send it to Yuan Shao to prepare for marriage, you should know about this, right?"
Zichen's face turned red and he said nothing.
"If I hadn't met Hua Yuexin, I wouldn't have had a relationship with her...but...it was destined. Hua Yuexin is my woman, so she must be.
My woman!"
Zichen felt a little unhappy after hearing Ma Xiaoquan's arrogant words, but Ziyuexin was very happy.
With such a confident father-in-law, his son must also be excellent, hehe.
Zi Chen turned to look at Zi Yuexin, and found that she had a longing look on her face, and her eyes were full of little stars. She sighed helplessly: "Young women are not allowed to stay in college, that's all. No matter what, our Zi family really needs it."
Your Ma family’s help. Of course, my Zi family will also provide help to the Ma family. For example, Mr. Lu..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, but I can't prove it, I need a proof!"
Zi Chen took out a seal from his arms and said, "This is the seal of the head of my Zi family. The person with this seal will be the next head of my Zi family."
"What do you mean?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
Zi Chen said: "I will make a four-party agreement with Master Shangxian. This four-party agreement will be signed by you, me, my granddaughter Zi Yuexin, and Ma Xiao, and it will also have the seal of the head of the Zi family.
....."
Ma Xiaoquan breathed out and said: "Okay, let's discuss the content of the agreement... But I have to say one thing. If I, Xiao'er, don't agree in the end, this agreement will be invalid."
Zichen nodded and said: "That's natural..."
...
An hour later, Ma Xiaoquan and Zi Chen made an agreement, but Ma Xiaoquan did not sign it. According to Ma Xiaoquan, since it is your Zi family who came to me, you must first show your sincerity and help me solve the problem of the Lu family.
The problem of the big house.
Zi Chen didn't have any objections. After collecting the agreement, he led Zi Yuexin out of Ma Xiaoquan's hut.
...
A few days later, Ma Xiaoquan received an anonymous letter. When he opened it, it turned out to be a structural diagram of the interior of the Lu family mansion. At the end of the structural diagram, there was a line of text, which read: Please wait a few more days, Lord Immortal.
I, Zichen, will make plans after I thoroughly find out the news about the Lu family mansion.
Although Ma Xiaoquan was very curious about how Zichen obtained the interior layout of the Lu family's mansion, he knew what to do now. Since the Zi family came to ask for help in marriage, let's take a gamble.
Ma Xiaoquan was actually very anxious in his heart after two night raids on the Lu family's mansion and two failed attempts. Ma Xiaoquan wanted to resolve the matter in Nanyang County as soon as possible. If the Ma family's mansion in Yecheng was without him, it would be very dangerous.
, after all, Lu Xian still holds the Magnum in his hand, and Ma Xiaoquan wants to destroy it.
Opening the interior diagram of the Lu family's mansion, Ma Xiaoquan studied it carefully. With this structural diagram, Ma Xiaoquan believed that the next extermination plan could be carried out better.
...
In the Lu family's mansion, Long Er was also urgently arranging the organs in the house.
Due to a serious shortage of manpower, Long Er could only arrange various mechanisms in the mansion to prevent Ma Xiaoquan from sudden attack.
With the experience of the first two battles, Long Er will quench every organ with anesthetic. Although Ma Xiaoquan is invulnerable to all poisons, his resistance to anesthetics is not very effective. Long Er believes that as long as the organs are properly matched, Ma Xiaoquan can
When he comes again, it will be the day when he will never return.
...
On the night of the third day of the twelfth month of the 24th year of Emperor Xian's reign of the Han Dynasty (AD 219), Zichen came to Ma Xiaoquan's thatched cottage again and handed Ma Xiaoquan the last piece of information he had obtained about the Lu family mansion.
Zichen said: "Lord Shangxian, my sincerity has arrived. Next, I hope that Lord Shangxian can successfully resolve the matter here and return to Yecheng as soon as possible! I will wait for you in Yecheng!"
