Accompanied by Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone came to the mansion that had been prepared for Guo Zixing a long time ago, which was the Taishou Mansion that Zhu Yuanzhang captured Chuzhou and refused to live in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But I saw that the high walls outside this mansion were tight, the green shade hung around, and the cornices and corners were like piercing the clouds in the sky. Look at the courtyard and the road are connected, the mountains and stones are embellished, the carved and embroidered thresholds, the pavilions and pavilions are endless, it is really everywhere to show the magnificence.

The more Guo Zixing's family looked, the more satisfied they became, this house was much better than the house they lived in Haozhou.

The servants in the mansion had already gone out to greet them under the leadership of Ma Xiuying.

Xiao Zhang stepped forward quickly and grabbed Ma Xiuying's hand, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak for a long time, and there was both relief and guilt in his eyes.

Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya rushed away from the hands held by Xiao Zhang and Ma Xiuying, and without looking at the two frowning people, they ran into the house and shouted loudly like a bone in an egg: "This is our new home? ”

Everyone slandered: nonsense, no one lives in this mansion, who cares about those flowers and plants.

"No big or small child, I don't know how to say hello when I see Xiuying. Da Zhang feigned anger, scolded softly, turned his head and looked at Ma Xiuying with a smile, as if the affectionate meeting between mother and daughter, and said softly: "My good daughter, it's hard for you to have a heart, I heard that this house was specially prepared for us by you and your son-in-law......"

Ma Xiuying interrupted Da Zhang's performance in a gentle and deferential tone, "My father, my wife, my mother-in-law and my uncle have been running around for so long, so let's take a rest today, and if I am not satisfied, I will tell the servant that I need to add something to the house." Tomorrow, my daughter will come again to say goodbye. ”

"Good boy, I've got you to worry about. Xiao Zhang gently patted the back of Ma Xiuying's hand, and stopped talking. Everyone has already come to Chuzhou, what else can she say. Moreover, between the Guo family and Ma Xiuying, she has already chosen the former, and she can only wronged this righteous daughter.

"Master, what do you think of this house?" Da Zhang turned around and walked to Guo Zixing's side. Since Ma Xiuying doesn't know how to lift, she doesn't bother to perform any mother-daughter love with her. Listen to the tone, it seems that she is the master of this house, hmph, I must teach all the servants in the house a good lesson in a while, so that these people can understand who is the real master mother.

Guo Zixing was listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's introduction of Chuzhou's city defense and military camp layout, Guo Tianxu, Guo Tianjue and Zhang Tianyou also listened carefully, and several of them stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with suspicious eyes, trying to find any clues from his words. It's no wonder they are not at ease, no one would have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would hand over the military power so honestly, and he took the initiative to hand it over as soon as Guo Zixing entered the city. However, everyone listened attentively for a long time, and did not notice anything wrong.

Guo Zixing put aside his worries and at the same time, a warm current also surged in his heart, during the days when he was excluded by Sun Deya, except for Peng Da, who died for him, Zhu Yuanzhang was the most loyal. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't been allowed to die in the dungeon at the beginning, otherwise how could there be a way out today? At this moment, when he heard Da Zhang's words, he laughed and said: "Needless to say, where can the mansion arranged by the virtuous son-in-law for us be sent? I heard that in the past, it was the Taishou Mansion, and the virtuous son-in-law himself did not live in a special place for us. Looking up, I saw Ma Xiuying standing aside respectfully and beckoning cordially, "Good girl, seeing you now, my father-in-law is really happy for you, and he is finally worthy of Brother Liu." ”

"Father-in-law......" Ma Xiuying thought of her deceased father, her eyes were slightly red, if her father and mother were still there, how could she let her children be mistreated. But no matter how Guo Zixing uses himself, he does have the grace to raise him, and without his protection, he is only afraid that he will be driven out of the Guo Mansion by the Da Zhang family and will not marry Zhu Yuanzhang. At this moment, Ma Xiuying really hopes that there will be no conflict of interest between Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Zixing, and everyone will always live in harmony like this...... Suddenly, she felt as if she was being watched, and subconsciously turned around, and happened to see Guo Tianxu's cold eyes like a poisonous snake.

Guo Tianxu didn't feel embarrassed to be discovered, and walked over with a smile, "Sister Xiuying, how are you doing lately?"

Ma Xiuying replied lukewarmly: "Thanks to the eldest brother, everything is okay." ”

"That's the best, I'm afraid you won't be able to think about my sister-in-law marrying a bride soon. It's pitiful, but when I see the new person laughing, I don't hear the old person crying. Guo Tianxu threw down this sentence half-sarcastically and half-jealously, and turned around and walked into the door, not knowing whether he was talking about Ma Xiuying or himself.

As soon as these words came out, several people's faces changed. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Guo Zixing worriedly, and then at Ma Xiuying, and saw that she was not annoyed, so he smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Guo Zixing picked up his father-in-law's shelf and warned Zhu Yuanzhang, "This time you married the bride because Xiuying begged me, and I agreed, you can't be sorry for Xiuying in the future, even if a newcomer enters the door, you can't bully Xiuying for half a point." ”

"Yes, the son-in-law will never let down Xiuying. It's really that family used to be kind to me......" Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was shocked, it turned out that Ma Xiuying went to intercede with Guo Zixing in order to let him marry Guo Ninglian.

"Don't blame him, it's actually his daughter who wants to be lazy, and when multiple girls enter the door, her daughter can be more relaxed. Ma Xiuying helped to say good things. In her own room, she can't exaggerate how she competes with Zhu Yuanzhang, but in front of outsiders, she must not fall into Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

"It is good for you to respect each other and make peace with each other. Guo Zixing just casually admonished, his mind was on taking over the military affairs of Chuzhou at the moment, how could he be in the mood to take care of Zhu Yuanzhang's family affairs.

Guo Tianjue's eyes fell on the faces of the servants behind Ma Xiuying, picked two or three maids with good looks, and said with a lewd smile: "The master is tired, you, you few, come and serve the master." ”

Except for one maid who was willing to rub in, the other two maids greeted him obediently. When they were servants, they knew that their fate was in the hands of the master's family, and if they could please the young master of the house, they would have a better life in the future, and if they were included in the room by the young master, wouldn't they fly up the branches.

After all, it was someone else's house, Ma Xiuying was not good at interfering, coughed, and said, "Father-in-law, please rest early, and my daughter will come back tomorrow to say goodbye." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "My father-in-law is resting, and there will be a few banquets tomorrow for you to enjoy." ”

Da Zhang's eyes lit up, and he asked first, "Who are the people who invite my master?"

"The soldiers in the army, and the squires of Chuzhou......"

Da Zhang's couldn't wait to show off his current status, and after only listening to half of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he said to Guo Zixing: "Master, it's not enough for you lords to be lively, our daughters should also be lively, Ming'er, I will set up a banquet in the mansion to invite those ladies to participate, okay?"

"You arrange it. "Guo Zixing has always cared about backyard affairs.

Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang accompanied Guo Zixing and said a few words before saying goodbye. If it is a serious relative, there must be countless things to say when they meet, but in front of these so-called relatives, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang do not feel the care of their relatives at all. They know very well that the closeness of the Guo family is fake, the seizure of power is true, the other party's mind is not on them, and they are too lazy to be vain.

Guo Zixing saw that his children were not as calm and sensible as Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited, "Go ahead, you guys have worked hard." Yuanzhang, you will come to the house early tomorrow to accompany me to inspect the barracks. ”

"Yes, yes. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, slandering in his heart, he really couldn't wait for a moment.

Back at home, the couple stepped back, and Ma Xiuying helped Zhu Yuanzhang take off his robe and asked, "Where is Yuan Xing? Why didn't you let him come home?"

Zhu Yuanzhang lay down on the bed and said lazily: "Don't worry, he came with his father-in-law's team, I told him to call him home, he said that he lived in the barracks, and he came to see you when he was free." ”

"This kid, I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I don't know how to come home first, how can there be a good family in the barracks. Ma Xiuying couldn't help but complain. The more she knew the reason why Yuan Xing refused to live in the mansion, the more dissatisfied Ma Xiuying became, after so long, could it be that Yuan Xing hadn't let go of Li Qi'er, I really didn't know whether to say that he was infatuated or stupid. Ma Xiuying glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, she didn't dare to let Zhu Yuanzhang know about this, so she stopped the topic after complaining for a few sentences.

"Yuan Xing is no longer a child, so don't worry about it. Zhu Yuanzhang was so tired that he didn't want to move his fingers, and he was weak to speak. In order to greet Guo Zixing, he led the army to wait at the gate of the city an hour in advance, plus the previous deployment arrangements, he was tired enough today, and the most frustrating thing was that Chuzhou would not be his Zhu Yuanzhang from today on.

Just when Ma Xiuying thought he was asleep, he looked at the roof with wide eyes, and suddenly said, "Now that I have handed over all the military power, your father-in-law should rest assured, right?"

Ma Xiuying couldn't hear the resentment in his tone, pondered for a while, and said: "My father-in-law did let down his guard against you today, but his ears are soft, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be instigated again." You delegate power openly, but secretly you still have to hold it in your hands in case of the unexpected. She will not forget Da Zhang's contrived expression and Guo Tianxu's cold eyes, as long as these two people are instigating in Guo Zixing's ears, I am afraid that this superficial calm will not last long.

"Now I can only take one step at a time," Zhu Yuanzhang sat up abruptly and shook his fist viciously, "Hmph! It's better not to rush me, otherwise the rabbit will bite if it's urgent!"

"No, he is my stepfather after all. Ma Xiuying comforted softly, but she was unsure in her heart. She silently prayed that Guo Zixing would better not force Zhu Yuanzhang to the day when he turned against him, but she knew that this was just an extravagant hope. Guo Zixing will not let Zhu Yuanzhang sit big, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not be willing to accept Guo Zixing. The former has the instigation of Guo Tianxu and Da Zhang, and the latter has the encouragement of the soldiers, no matter how hard she tries, the two will never be able to truly get along. Just like a mountain can't accommodate two tigers, unless there is a male and a female.
