The carriage was bumpy for several days, and finally arrived safely at Yingtianfu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ma Xiuying sent someone to inform Zhu Yuanzhang that he immediately put down his affairs and personally led his troops out of the city to greet the four sages of western Zhejiang, and solemnly awarded the four people the official position of the Five Classics Division in front of the people.

The Five Classics are the five Confucian classics of Poetry, Books, Rites, Yi and Spring and Autumn.

This was a strategy to buy horses' bones, and Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to announce to the world with great fanfare that he attached importance to the literati. Later, he didn't have to bother to accept Luo Wenshi, so many well-educated people came to take refuge one after another, and for a while, there was a prosperous phenomenon of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending in Tianfu.

On the occasion of introducing each other, Li Shanchang took a look at the four sages of Zhejiang and Western Zhejiang. Song Lian, Zhang Yi, and Ye Chen were not deeply impressed, but Liu Ji's perceptive eyes made Li Shanchang's heart tremble slightly, and a trace of vigilance rose in his increasingly jealous heart.

Liu Ji noticed a hint of ill-intentioned gaze, but when he turned around, he didn't find anything. He put aside his doubts and smiled and greeted Zhu Sheng, both of them had been officials of the Yuan court, and they were dissatisfied with the mediocrity of the court and resigned and retired, and the experience was almost the same, so they hit it off at first sight, and after greetings, they smiled and walked into the city hand in hand.

Song Lian and others completely carried out the junior rites in front of the two university scholars, listened to Zhu Sheng's explanation of the development of Ying Tianfu all the way, delighted Zhu Yuanzhang's generous treatment of scholars, sighed at the prosperity of the subordinate group under his command, and couldn't wait to show their ambitions in Ying Tianfu.

"Daddy!" Zhu Biao and Zhu Fan rushed into Zhu Yuanzhang's arms happily, obviously they had only been separated for more than ten days, but they felt that they had not seen each other for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt the same way, picked up a child in one hand, and looked at Ma Xiuying who was smiling, "Madam, let's go home." He couldn't tell whether he went out of the city in person to welcome the four sages of Zhejiang or his family, and when he saw Ma Xiuying and the children return safely, he was full of happiness in his chest, as if the missing place in his heart had finally been made up.

Back in the house, the wives and concubines all came to greet them, some of them were genuinely caring, and some were pretending to be tempted.

Ma Xiuying treated it indifferently and never mentioned the real reason why she left the house. She came back not because of these women, but because of Zhu Yuanzhang, why should she care about their thoughts, it is better to help Zhu Yuanzhang think about how to deal with the enemy when you have time.

Guo Hui had a kind smile on her face, and secretly cursed in her heart why Ma Xiuying could still return home safely, jealousy and envy devoured her heart like a poisonous snake. After not seeing her for a few months, Ma Xiuying was not only not haggard, but radiant, more nourished and hydrated than before leaving the house. She thought that even if Zhu Yuanzhang would not punish Ma Xiuying for the sake of the child, she would not give Ma Xiuying a good face. Who knew that the two of them were talking and laughing when they entered the door, and the happy situation stabbed her eyes.

What made her most uncomfortable was that as soon as Ma Xiuying came back, she invisibly pressed a mountain on her head, and her actions were restricted everywhere, not only was it not good to be greedy for public funds in the Mo Mansion, but even the date of serving Zhu Yuanzhang depended on Ma Xiuying's mood, which made her feel at ease for a few months! The only thing that could comfort her was the money that had been secretly intercepted in the past few months, and she looked at a group of women who were flattering, and she despised it very much, but she didn't know that her behavior was no different from others.

Guo Ninglian's mind is not as complicated as Guo Hui, she has been spoiled by her father and brother since she was a child, and she has developed a kind of dependence. When Ma Xiuying was not at home, Guo Hui always worked against her openly and secretly, and now that Ma Xiuying is back, someone will restrain Guo Hui, but she breathed a sigh of relief, and pestered Ma Xiuying to talk about amorous ambitions in a relaxed mood, and shouted while listening: "Next time I have such an opportunity, my sister will bring my little sister with me." ”

Ma Xiuying smiled, she didn't agree, she wouldn't make trouble for herself, Guo Ninglian's out-of-the-box temperament didn't know how much trouble she would cause when she left the house!

Another person who is really looking forward to Ma Xiuying's return is Li Qi'er, she is about to give birth, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no real family in the house, which makes her very worried about childbirth. She remembered Ma Xiuying's almost dystocia vividly, thinking that she was going to go through this experience, and she felt uneasy. Except for Ma Xiuying, the other women have no children, and her children are destined to make people hostile and jealous, and she can't stop anyone from taking the opportunity to poison them during childbirth. Only when Ma Xiuying is here, her heart can be a little steady. Because even if Ma Xiuying doesn't really take care of her as a sister, she will not deliberately embarrass her, and with Ma Xiuying presiding over the affairs of the house, those women will restrain all kinds of thoughts.

Therefore, in the last two months of production, Li Qi'er walked very diligently to Ma Xiuying's yard, even if it was just to say hello, she had to show her face in front of Ma Xiuying, so that Ma Xiuying would always notice her stomach.

Ma Xiuying understands Li Qi'er's thoughts, and she will never embarrass Li Qi'er in the matter of children, and she will not allow other women to persecute Li Qi'er. This is a matter of principle, a woman's jealousy is jealousy, and she can't involve innocent children, that's a living life! She sent the big maid Bai Ling and Fan Lotus to take care of Li Qi'er, so as to warn and deter some restless people.

Li Guihua looked at Ma Xiuying and stopped talking, after she was raised as an aunt, her living conditions were better than before, and her status was also a higher level, but she regretted it. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like her in the first place, and because she was only hit by an aphrodisiac that time, she didn't enter her room once after getting married, and this kind of cold reception was bleak and bleak.

But who can she blame, it's the path she chooses. Looking at Xun Ying's smart eyes, she remembered the days when she served by Ma Xiuying's side. At that time, although she was just a slave, she was protected by Ma Xiuying, and she lived comfortably and comfortably. In addition, she is taking care of Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhang, and the servants in the house all look down on her, just like now, the servants are shouting aunt, but their attitude is not as respectful as before.

Now Li Guihua can only pin her hopes on Ma Xiuying, Ma Xiuying has always paid attention to a bowl of water and is impartial to the women in the house. Li Qi'er was said to be unable to conceive when she had a miscarriage, but Ma Xiuying invited Mrs. Wu to help regulate her body, and persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to visit Li Qi'er often, so that Li Qi'er could get pregnant again. I hope that after Ma Xiuying returns home, she can persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to enter her room, even if it is only one day a month, it is better to stay overnight and keep an empty room!

Ma Xiuying noticed Li Guihua's embarrassed and flustered eyes, and sighed silently. How much she liked Li Guihua before, and how much she hates Li Guihua now. This girl has lived up to her high hopes and trust, and she wants to cling to Gao Zhi and be used, such a person is not worthy of sympathy, so let's snub it for a while.

The most low-key of the women was Sun, who bowed respectfully and shrunk in the corner without making a sound. She is not heartless like other women, and she is indifferent to Yu Suxue's disappearance, after all, she used to be the closest to Yu Suxue. After Zhu Yuanzhang took a concubine, she never saw Yu Suxue again, and the servants kept silent, thinking of Yu Suxue's usual words and deeds, she immediately realized that something must have happened to Yu Suxue. Although she didn't know that Yu Suxue was a spy, she knew that Yu Suxue's disappearance would inevitably be inseparable from the orders of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying. A person was still smiling on the first day, and the next day she said that it was gone, which made her frightened and more cautious, and she would rather be an invisible person than anger Ma Xiuying by half a point.

Sending away the wife and concubine who greeted her, Ma Xiuying looked around her room, the room was dusty, all the furnishings were the appearance of her leaving, the potted plants on the Duobao Pavilion were lush and lush, it seemed that the purple juan was carefully taken care of every day.

As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennel, she stayed outside for a few months, and it was a lie that she didn't want to go home, and she only had a really relaxed mood when she returned to the Guogong Mansion. Even if there are more and more women in the house and conflicts are becoming more and more frequent, that is also the home she has poured her heart and soul into.
