Summary of the previous chapter: The current head of the Ma family, Father Ma, who has been stationed in Ningyuan for a long time, has returned with the other two sons of the Ma family...
Second Young Master Ma patted Ma Xiaoquan on the shoulder and laughed, "Brother, I haven't seen you in a while. You seem to have grown a lot stronger?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said, "Second brother, if nothing else, your little brother and I have learned some kung fu during these days of training at Jinyiwei."
Ma Sanshao stepped forward and hugged Ma Xiaoquan: "How dare you show off your three-legged cat skills in front of your second brother and third brother?"
"Yeah?" Ma Xiaoquan looked unconvinced, "Third brother, although I can't beat you, little brother, but... why should I start learning martial arts now, right?"
"Okay, not bad, not bad." Father Ma stepped forward and gave Ma Xiaoquan a hard blow on the chest. His sword eyebrows twitched slightly, and he didn't know what he realized. Then he laughed and said, "My son of the Ma family should learn martial arts."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said respectfully, "Where are you, dad and mom?"
Father Ma sighed and pointed to the carriage behind him: "Boy, it's up to you. Your mother hasn't talked to father for almost a year."
"Ah? It's been almost a year? What's going on?"
Ma Ershao shook his head: "This matter is complicated. Little brother, go up and persuade mother. Mother loves you the most."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, walked to the carriage, and called out respectfully: "Mother"
The car curtain opened and a young woman stepped out. The woman was petite and beautiful. Judging from her facial features, this woman did not seem to be a northern woman.
Just as Ma Xiaoquan was about to speak, the woman said first: "Well, you are the younger brother, I guess. I always heard the third brother mention you and thought you were very young, but you turned out to be so big."
Ma Sanshao stepped forward, carefully supported the woman, and said softly: "Rourou, didn't I tell you, call me when you come down?"
The woman raised her head and glanced at Ma Sanshao, with deep love in her eyes: "Third brother, I'm fine."
Ma Xiaoquan blinked his eyes and asked Ma Sanshao: "Third brother, this is not my third sister-in-law. Ouch, she is so beautiful. Third sister-in-law is so beautiful. Third brother, how can you, a thick man like you, find such a beauty as third sister-in-law?"
Son, you are so lucky."
Ma Sanshao turned around and lightly kicked Ma Xiaoquan: "Get out of here, what do you mean by a big boss? Your third brother, I can read, damn it."
As soon as Ma Sanshao finished speaking, a stern female voice suddenly came from the carriage.
"San'er, why are you talking nonsense again?"
Ma Sanshao was stunned for a moment, then he quickly said with a smile: "Mom, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, hehe..."
Ma Xiaoquan also shouted: "Mother"
"Hey," a sigh came from the carriage, "Okay, I'll get down right now."
First, a middle-aged woman stepped out of the carriage. This woman was dressed in coarse cloth, but she was very neat and clean. It looked like... this woman should be an old maid.
Immediately afterwards, a dignified woman in gorgeous clothes slowly got out of the carriage.
The woman had her head lowered. Ma Xiaoquan did not see her face at first, but judging from her dignified demeanor, she must be Ma Fourth Young Master's mother.
"Mother" Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the woman in gorgeous clothes.
"Quan'er, raise your head"
Ma Xiaoquan stood up straight and raised his head.
Seeing Ma Si Shao's mother, Ma Xiaoquan's first impression was of beauty, a beauty that has gone through many vicissitudes of life. If she were twenty years younger, the woman in front of her would definitely be a great beauty. Ma Xiaoquan could even say that without exaggeration.
It can be said that the appearance of this woman in gorgeous clothes when she was young is definitely no less than that of Li Qinghan now.
The woman in fine clothes reached out and touched Ma Xiaoquan's face, her eyes became moist.
"Good boy, good boy, my mother misses you so much"
The woman in gorgeous clothes stepped forward and hugged Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan was also deeply affected and hugged the woman in gorgeous clothes.
The woman's body exuded a mother's unique aura of love, and Ma Xiaoquan unknowingly thought of his mother.
In addition to Ma's father, Ma Ershao, Ma Sanshao, and Ma Sanshao's wife all came over and watched the "mother and son" quietly.
After a long time, the woman in fine clothes let go of her hands, straightened Ma Xiaoquan's collar, and said: "Quan'er, let's go in."
"Uh-huh." At the door, Ma's father secretly blinked at Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan understood, grabbed the woman in fine clothes and said: "Mom, as the saying goes, it's better to dissolve enemies than to marry them, let alone you and me.
Dad has been a couple for so many years... This couple fights at the end of the bed and makes peace at the end of the bed. If there is anything to talk about, wouldn't it be better? "
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, Ma Ershao and Ma Sanshao also agreed, and even the third sister-in-law nodded.
The woman in fine clothes glanced at Father Ma at the door and found that he was looking at her eagerly.
"Hey you naughty guys, okay, if you have anything to do, just talk openly. Well, go in first and it's cold outside."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he spread his hands towards Father Ma, meaning that he could only help so far.
The woman in gorgeous clothes slowly walked into the Ma family's courtyard, while Father Ma stood motionless at the gate.
"Why are you still standing there? It's not cold enough for you outside?"
Father Ma was stunned for a moment, looked at his wife, his heart suddenly felt happy, he chuckled, rubbed his hands and came closer.
Behind his parents, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head helplessly and said to himself: "It seems that mother's prestige is still high in this family."
...
A group of people entered the main hall. Madam Ma, housekeeper Ma Tong, sister-in-law Li Qinghan, and second sister-in-law Qiao Yu had been waiting for a long time.
"Mother" Ma's father and Ma's mother came forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Ma together.
The parents knelt down, and the younger members of the Ma family knelt down one after another.
Mrs. Ma was very conflicted in her heart. Others could kneel down, but the first-generation head of the family knelt down... I can't afford it, old lady.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't think so much. After all, his real age was twenty-seven. There was nothing wrong with kneeling down to his elders.
"Get up quickly, get up quickly"
Everyone stood up and looked at each other happily, and there was a joyful atmosphere.
Liu Xiangxiang walked up to Father Ma and Mother Ma and bowed respectfully to them.
"Huh? This is..."
"Dad, this child is brother Quan's unmarried wife..."
"Pfft" Ma Xiaoquan had just picked up the tea and took a sip when Liu Xiangxiang said these words, which shocked him so much that he spat it out.
"Wife...wife?" Ma's father frowned and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and suddenly said sternly, "You bastard, come here for me."
