Chapter 61: The Mountain Behind My Father (3)

Ma Shouren recalled this, and the smile on his face was as sweet as honey. As soon as she entered the lobby of her house, Mrs. Ma seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and immediately greeted him eagerly, and at first she only saw that his face was a little red and full of smiles, so she asked: "Master, you are not strong enough to drink, don't you have a score in your heart?

Turning around, Mrs. Ma immediately instructed the maid beside her, "Why don't you go to the kitchen to heat a bowl of sobering soup?"

"Yes!" the little maid shuddered, turned and ran away.

Ma Shouren looked at Mrs. Ma's tense appearance and sighed secretly.

It's only too late to blame him for becoming famous, and now he is thirty-five, and he only had to become an official the year before last. Mrs. Ma is nearly forty years old. It seems that Mrs. Ma's face is already full of wrinkles, in fact, Mrs. Ma gave birth to a pair of children for him within three years when he was just a small county magistrate, and her hair turned gray early. Before that, they had been husband and wife for nearly ten years, but they had only performed a few Zhou Gong rituals a few times. The most painful thing is that as early as the first year they became husband and wife, Mrs. Ma lost their first child because she didn't understand and worked too hard, and she was accidentally tired and confused.

At first, she still hid it from him! If it weren't for those days, her face was really bad, her lips were miserable and white, she couldn't straighten her waist to do anything, and her hands and feet were very weak, and he thought that there was something strange inside. Under his repeated questioning, she held back her tears and told him the truth. It was only in that month that he put aside the poems and books, and for the first time used the head of the family, the tone of command, only to allow her to lie quietly in bed and recuperate. Farming, selling vegetables, cooking...... He did all the farm work and household chores. She knew that he cherished her, but she still blamed herself in every way. After that time, her black hair had already been dyed the first rays of white. And since then, it seems that she deliberately avoided it, not wanting to make the same mistake again before he succeeded in gaining fame.

Until they moved into the prefectural government. She just can't wait......

He knew that she was all there to help him inherit the Ma family!

Nowadays, she relies on good hair oil and makeup to hide her gray hair and wrinkles on her face. Once she is angry, her gray hair can cover it, but the wrinkles on her face can't be ...... no matter how thick the powder is Her face really doesn't look good. It can even be said to be extremely ugly.

Her ugliness is also for him! In order to help him take care of the house! He knows that she is worthy of being a country husband, so only by turning herself into a tigress can she shock so many people in their house now.

She is still frugal in many places, and she can even be said to be stingy. This is all to help him, an incorruptible civil official, save money. Now it's his turn, cut first and then play, and save money from his own pocket money, and directly buy back the best rouge gouache and bird's nest ginseng for her...... She herself was never willing to buy it for herself!

Ma Shouren sometimes really regretted asking Mrs. Ma to take charge of the house, and Mrs. Ma was in full control of the finances of the house.

What he regretted was that now it was finally her turn to enjoy Qingfu, but he still asked her to work so hard. Is this a problem? Their mansion is indeed in good order with her. He just felt too sorry for her, why was she still so wronged by herself at this time, so reluctant to herself? Everything he had, was hers! But she still only ...... to him and their children No, it's even just that he and the children of another woman are generous, very generous, so generous that he regrets leaving the accounts and treasury to her to take care of.

Mrs. Ma is really ...... In addition to being illiterate, he is too generous and decent, and he is three from four virtues!

The so-called wife of the chaff does not go to court, and now he Ma Shouren is soaring, and he wants Mrs. Ma to enjoy all the glory and wealth within his ability. It's a shame that he couldn't finish with her. Since he beat him, he was only a small county magistrate, and at that time it was okay, as long as he was firm enough, no one would force a woman to him. But since his official position became bigger and bigger, there were some people who had more power than him who gave him women. He was soft-spoken, and once he began to come into contact with such a noble person, he had to start learning to be cautious, and he didn't dare to refuse.

For the first time, he felt guilty. He didn't go back to their room late at night, and drank alone in the study. In the middle, he drank a little too much, and in a trance he seemed to hear her go to the study, but he didn't knock on the door and came in. On the second day, he had planned to write a letter to the high-ranking official, tactfully rejecting the official's kindness. However, he failed to muster up the courage for the whole day. In the end, he thought, it is better to buy a generous gift and apologize in person.

Who would have thought that night, he was "closed to the guest" by his wife, and then under the guidance of his wife and maidservant, he went to the prejudice next door in a daze. As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned. She...... She?...... The woman who the great official wanted to send into his house was sitting on the bed in the middle of the room, and she was wearing a pale red robe, and she was raising her eyebrows slightly to convey her affection to him!

In the end, it was the maid who pushed him sharply behind him. He was defenseless and hesitated to be pushed into the room. Behind him the door was closed tightly by the maidservant.

That night, what did he ......

He knew that everything was her "first cut and then played" again, all for him. He knew that that night, she must have swallowed bitterness, tears, and grievances in her stomach, but she must have not been able to sleep well all night.

Now, there is a side lady in his house, who is the woman of that day. After that night, she conceived very much, and gave birth to his second son ten months later. Mrs. Ma personally opened her mouth and asked him to mention her as Mrs. Side!

He didn't say yes at the time. But unexpectedly, the following year, the woman gave birth to three sons for him. Mrs. Ma immediately spoke again. He couldn't be so eccentric anymore, even for the sake of the two younger sons, in the end he promoted that woman to be a side wife.

After that, there are now two concubines in his house, each of whom has a daughter, for his second daughter and third daughter.

I have to be honest to say that compared to Mrs. Ma, who is just greedy for beauty, his side wife and two concubines are indeed more attractive.

But he Ma Shouren did it, at least, he will now perform the Zhou Gong ceremony evenly with every wife and concubine once a month. For the rest, he would stay overnight in Madame Ma's room for three days. The rest of the time, he chose to live alone. It's because I'm too busy on business, but also because ......
