Summary of the previous chapter: Ma's father and Ma's mother seemed to have some minor emotional problems. After Ma Xiaoquan's "adjustment" with one sentence, they eased slightly, but... this little girl Liu Xiangxiang actually spoke nonsense...
...
Ma Xiaoquan put down his teacup depressedly and walked over.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Ma Xiaoquan glared at Liu Xiangxiang resentfully and said, "Dad, what kind of wife you are not married to? There is no such thing at all. This girl is an old scholar... a nerd... a cabinet university
Shi Liu Yijing’s naughty granddaughter, named Liu Xiangxiang, has been eating and drinking at my Ma’s house.”
Liu Xiangxiang blushed and murmured in a low voice: "Brother Quan, Xiangxiang didn't eat or drink. Xiangxiang has been helping the house clean these days. By the way, brother Quan's clothes are all given by Xiangxiang."
The underwear that Brother Quan was wearing was also washed, and Xiangxiang was also washed..."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that his underwear was missing this morning. After thinking about it, he didn't understand how it could be missing. Oh, it turns out that this girl Liu Xiangxiang washed it...
Father Ma was also stunned. These underpants were actually the innermost underwear. Looking at such a petite girl in front of him, and then looking at Ma Xiaoquan, Father Ma slapped her.
Ma Xiaoquan was also very agile. He ducked slightly and avoided Ma's father's slap.
Father Ma was stunned again, and then yelled: "You bastard, tell me, what's going on? And... Mr. Liu is a bachelor of our cabinet, and you have a nerd and an old man on your left.
Academic...is this what a junior of yours calls you? Huh? Are you still hiding from me? Are you coming here?"
Ma Xiaoquan hunched over and hid behind Ma's mother, exposing half of his head to look at Ma's father.
When acting, you have to act like it. Since you are now the fourth son of the Ma family who does not know martial arts, you must show some of the mentality and behavior that a son should have to be afraid of me.
Father Ma gritted his teeth and roared again, but Ma Xiaoquan hid behind Mother Ma, and Father Ma could do nothing.
The relationship with my dear wife has just eased. If the issue of brat Ma Xiaoquan is not handled well, there will probably be another cold war.
Ma's mother did not reprimand Ma Xiaoquan indiscriminately like Ma's father did. Instead, she turned around, patted Ma Xiaoquan on the shoulder, and asked: "Quan'er, what's going on? Is this really what happened?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed and looked at Mrs. Ma. Mrs. Ma stepped forward and said, "Hey, this happened because Quan'er became a royal guard..."
Madam Ma briefly told Ma's mother and father Ma's story about how many families in Beijing came to ask for marriage after Ma Xiaoquan became a royal guard. Among them, Madam Ma particularly highlighted the Zhang family.
"I see..." Mother Ma nodded and said respectfully, "Mom, the Zhang family comes to visit again. What are their plans?"
Father Ma snorted coldly: "Zhang Tianhao, that piece of shit, has tricked my Ma family and brought disrepute to my Ma family. Oh, now that Quan'er is promising, he's trying to cling to him again? Damn it, Zhang Tianhao is a bitch.
It’s so crazy.”
Mother Ma rolled her eyes at Father Ma, who quickly covered his mouth, but his eyes were spinning in his sockets.
Ma Xiaoquan secretly laughed in his heart. This father Ma seemed to be rude, but he was actually very scheming. Otherwise, he would not be the current head of the Ma family.
Ma Mu straightened Ma Xiaoquan's collar and said, "Quan'er, I'm going to ask you now if you like this girl Xiangxiang. If you like her, I'll send someone to Liu Yijing to propose marriage."
As soon as Ma Mu opened her mouth, Li Qinghan immediately felt sad in his heart.
Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan, do you really want to marry Liu Xiangxiang?
Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Liu Xiangxiang and found that the little girl was looking at him earnestly.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Mom, my child has just joined Jinyiwei not long ago. Although everyone dislikes and is afraid of the errands he does, as a Jinyiwei, my child can help the family with some things...
..Furthermore..." Ma Xiaoquan took off the small token from his waist, showed it in front of Ma's father and mother, and said, "This little token is a gift from the emperor. With this thing, the child can
You can walk around the palace at any time without being held accountable. The emperor bestowed this gift to represent the emperor’s trust in the child..."
Ma Xiaoquan did not refuse directly, but listed a lot of valid reasons. These reasons made perfect sense to Ma's father. Ma's father kept nodding his head, while Ma's mother, because of different starting points,
, the horse mother’s understanding is naturally different from the horse father.
"Yeah" Ma Mu thought for a moment and said to herself: It seems that Quan'er has no intention of getting married at the moment.
Mother Ma looked at Mrs. Ma, who understood and stepped forward to conclude: "The time is indeed not mature enough now. Furthermore, Quan'er and Xiangxiang have an agreement. When Xiangxiang grows up, their marriage will be arranged.
It’s not too late for us to think about it! What do you two think?”
Ma's father didn't have any objections. Ma's mother had always made the decision regarding the marriage.
Mother Ma nodded respectfully to Mrs. Ma: "Everything must be obeyed by mother."
Mrs. Ma nodded, stepped forward and touched Liu Xiangxiang's little head: "Xiangxiang, grandma does this, do you have any objection?"
Liu Xiangxiang shook her head. Even if she had an opinion at the moment, she could only keep it to herself.
For some reason, Li Qinghan felt happy when he heard such a result. In any case, Ma Xiaoquan at least did not agree to marry Liu Xiangxiang.
Li Qinghan's expression was filled with joy. Qiao Yu saw it and sighed secretly. It seemed that his sister-in-law had really fallen in love with Quanzi.
Qiao Yu stepped forward and poked Li Qinghan gently. Only then did Li Qinghan react and his face straightened quickly.
At this time, the door of Ma's house rang.
Mrs. Ma hummed, "Oh, it should be someone from the Zi family who is here..."
"Zi family?" Father Ma raised his eyebrows, "Is there someone from the Zi family? Who is here?"
Mrs. Ma chuckled: "Zi Shaoyan brought his nephew to visit yesterday and stayed at my house for one night. He went out this morning and said he was going to welcome his brother."
"Brother?" Father Ma's expression suddenly became a little complicated and said, "Zi Shaoyan ranks second in the Zi family. He has two brothers. The third child in the Zi family is weak and sick and rarely leaves the Zi family; and Zi
The fourth child...well..."
Mrs. Ma said: "Yes, those who came this time are Shaoyan and Zi Shaobo, the fourth son of the Zi family."
"Damn it," Father Ma couldn't help but cursed, "Why is this guy Zi Laosi here again? Didn't you beat him enough last time?"
Ma's mother stepped forward, patted Ma's father, rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you talking? Why are you talking so much? The children must have learned from you."
Ma's father chuckled, took the opportunity to grab Ma's mother's hand, touched it and said: "Madam, madam... what are you talking about? My son is also your son, madam."
Ma Mu snorted: "Oh, you mean you still have another woman outside?"
Father Ma quickly shook his head, raised three fingers and said, "As a warning from the sky, I, Ma Ruiqing, have only loved one woman, my wife, and only one woman, my wife."
Father Ma's move caused a lot of laughter in the main hall. Ma Xiaoquan shook his head helplessly. Father Ma was still a strict wife.
...
At this time, the door of Ma's house rang again.
Mrs. Ma led the younger members of the Ma family forward and opened the door herself.
There were four men standing at the door, two middle-aged and two young.
Among middle-aged men, Ma Xiaoquan has met Zi Shaoyan, but he has never seen the other one.
The two middle-aged men were flattered when they saw Mrs. Ma opening the door in person. They hurriedly knelt down and said, "Aunt Yang opened the door in person. We brothers are scared."
The middle-aged man knelt down, and the two juniors behind him naturally also half-knelt down.
Mrs. Ma stepped forward and helped the two of them up, then waved her hands to the two juniors behind them, signaling that they should get up too.
"Shaoyan, Shaobo, you have had a hard time on the road."
Zi Shaoyan nodded, looked at Ma's father and Ma's mother, and bowed respectfully: "Shaoyan has met brother Ruiqing and his sister-in-law, Ma's mother."
Father Ma nodded kindly to Zi Shaoyan, but towards Zi Shaobo, he had a playful look on his face.
The horse mother sighed softly and responded: "No words, no need to be polite. Please come in quickly."
The group of people returned to the main hall again.
Although the main hall is large, there are indeed only a few seats that can be seated.
As a junior, Ma Xiaoquan naturally stood behind Ma's father and Ma's mother together with his two brothers.
As grandsons-in-law, Li Qinghan and Qiao Yu naturally took on the duties of serving tea and pouring water as maids should do. As for Liu Xiangxiang, since she was an outsider, she was placed in front of Mrs. Ma and rubbed her legs.
"Haha... Don't say anything. I have briefly told Qing'er Ma's father about what happened yesterday. My Ma family has no objection to your Zi family's intentions. It's just that at this time, I'm afraid we have to wait.
It’s after the Chinese New Year…”
Zi Shaoyan nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Aunt Yang, brother Ruiqing, and my sister-in-law Ma Mu, I am very happy to hear this news from the Ma family, so that I can go back and spread the good news."
Ma's mother said: "Don't say anything. The Zi family is still far away from Beijing. I think you can celebrate the New Year at the Ma family. You can pick some gifts to take back, so that you can send our greetings to the old man Zi family and Brother Zi."
"
Just as Zi Shaoyan was about to refuse, his younger brother Zi Shaohua said: "Since my sister-in-law invites you so kindly, we have to be respectful and accept her orders."
Father Ma frowned slightly and laughed: "In that case, it's very good, very good. It just so happens that our Ma family and Zi family haven't contacted each other for a long time."
Zi Shaobo did not show weakness and said: "Yes, brother Ruiqing, our two families should keep in good contact and strengthen our relationship. Well, Zi Biao, come out."
The young man behind Zi Shaobo nodded, walked out, and bowed his hand to Father Ma respectfully.
Zi Shaobo introduced: "This is the junior of my Zi family, ranked second, Mingbiao."
"Boy Zi Biao, I have met Grandma Ma, I have met Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma!"
Zi Biao's voice was so loud that it made the entire hall tremble.
Father Ma raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly: "The Zi family is really full of talents. A junior can actually have such a strong spirit. Okay, very good! Yuan'er, come out!"
Second Young Master Ma stood at attention and walked out from behind Father Ma.
"Pa" Second Young Master Ma clasped his feet together, bowed respectfully to Zi Shaoyan and Zi Shaobo and said, "Ma Yuan, the second son of the Ma family, has met these two uncles!"
Ma Ershao's voice was on par with Zi Biao's, and even had the potential to overwhelm him.
Zi Biao grinned, as if he had found his opponent, and he couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic.
Zi Shaobo was even more proud. A few years ago, he came to Ma's house to ask for advice from brother Ma Ruiqing, but was brutally beaten by him. In the days that followed, Zi Shaobo has been practicing hard. Not only did he practice hard, but he also pulled
Zi Xiao Er, Zi Biao, who has the same personality as himself, trains hard together.
If Zi Shaobo were a few years younger, he would definitely want to come forward in person to ask Brother Ruiqing for advice, but... Brother Ruiqing was not the head of the Ma family a few years ago, and today, the other party
Now that he is the head of the Ma family, considering his status, he is no longer qualified to ask for advice from others.
Since he can't play, it seems good to send his most proud nephew to replace him to repair the younger generation of the Ma family...
Zi Shaobo is very confident, and he firmly believes that Zi Biao can help him win back face.
Ma Ruiqing and his wife looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Although the Zi family is secretive and mysterious, and has a very deep inheritance of martial arts, but... my Ma family is killing people.
Those who have been trained in the pile, how can you compare with us? Hey, I don’t know how high the world is.
Zi Shaoyan shook his head with a wry smile. His fourth brother had a strong and bold temperament, with outstanding advantages and disadvantages. The Ma family's second young master's response just now must have aroused the second brother's aggressive spirit. In addition, Zi Shaoyan
Xiao Er Zi Biao, this pair of uncle and nephew is really a headache.
Zi Shaoyan nodded helplessly to Ma's father. Ma's father understood what Zi Shaoyan meant, responded, and suggested: "Shaobo, I think you seem to be interested in letting the juniors of our two families compete with each other."
Field, right?”
Zi Shaobo laughed loudly: "Brother Ruiqing knows me very well. Yes, I heard that among the young masters of the Ma family, except for the fourth son who does not know martial arts, the other three sons are all very brave. Unfortunately, the Ma family's grandson Ma Zhi has already
Death, there are two juniors from our Zi family here today, exactly two to two, brother Ruiqing, what do you think?"
Ma Ruiqing chuckled: "Since Shaobo has this intention, then the elder brother will naturally agree. Yuan'er, Cheng'er, Quan'er, did you all hear clearly?"
Ma Xiaoquan was deeply affected by Ma's father's words, and loudly responded to Ma's father with his two brothers: "Listen clearly!"
"Okay!" Father Ma stood up and patted the table, "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Since everyone has this idea, why not start soon!"
