Ma Xiuying said lightly: "The last time the prince went on the expedition, I couldn't rest assured that I was in the army, but who knew that I was hit by mistake, and now I am still recuperating from my injuries, so my complexion is a little bad." ”

"You have to take care of yourself, I brought you a few hundred-year-old ginseng and put them in the carriage, you remember to make up for it." Lu Xiaoqian hurriedly admonished, "When a man fights, why are you a woman rushing to the front?" Don't take risks like this in the future. ”

Ma Xiuying joked: "I haven't finished eating the ginseng you asked someone to bring last time, but I sent it again this time, and I can open a ginseng shop in the future." ”

"If it weren't for the advice you gave to Wan San at the beginning, we wouldn't have the rich life we have now." Lu Xiaoqian said: "Actually, I wanted to come to see you for a long time, but Wansan often goes to sea, and there is no principal at home, so this time I finally waited for him to come back, and I took the time to come over, don't blame me." ”

Ma Xiuying smiled, "The Shen family is now a big family, and it must be very hard to run a family, it is not easy for you to squeeze out time to see me, how dare I complain." ”

Both of them knew that the real reason why they hadn't been in touch much over the years was because Suzhou was still under Zhang Shicheng's control, and if Shen Wansan blatantly showed favor to Ying Tianfu, wouldn't it be that the old birthday star would hang himself for a long time.

But businessmen who are good at speculation always have keen insight, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang has become the first person in the rebel army, sheltering Han Lin'er and destroying Chen Youliang, the next step may be to deal with Zhang Shicheng, Shen Wansan doesn't want to try to hug Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh too late, so he hurriedly sent his wife Lu Xiaoqian to find Ma Xiuying to contact his feelings.

Lu Xiaoqian said with a little embarrassment: "Wan San often mentioned your original oath in front of me, and he said that he had laughed at your ambitions, but now it seems that you are the one with the most vision." ”

These words are obviously flattering Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang, if Ma Xiuying can really be the queen, Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally be the emperor. But mentioning the original vow reminds people of Yao Tianxi, who has already become a monk, so Lu Xiaoqian's expression is slightly unnatural.

Ma Xiuying said modestly: "I can't count before my ambition is realized, I'm afraid that Xiao San'er has already realized his ambition." ”

Seeing Ma Xiuying's calm expression, Lu Xiaoqian put her mind at ease and said, "Where, where, that is, a little richer than before." ”

Ma Xiuying quipped: "Don't worry, as long as Xiao San'er gives me enough, I don't care how much money he has." However, it is a good thing not to show your wealth, so as not to be targeted by people with intentions. ”

"That's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying," Lu Xiaoqian nodded hurriedly, "Some thieves have beaten my family's idea, but fortunately, Wansan has arranged for a shadow guard to take care of it." Now Wanxiu Group's shadow guard is very famous, and many wealthy businessmen are scrambling to pre-order, so Wansan said that this dividend will give you more calculations, how can there be such a good business without these suggestions you have come up with. ”

Xun Ying stood quietly beside him, with a smile on his face, the shadow guard of Wanxiu Group can only be regarded as a bodyguard thug at best, if Lu Xiaoqian knew how powerful Ma Xiuying's shadow guard was, I am afraid that he would immediately shut up and stop bragging.

Ma Xiuying listened to Lu Xiaoqian's talk about Shen Wansan's business with great interest, these things are much shorter and more interesting than the noblewoman's parents, and the afternoon was spent unconsciously.

In the evening, the servant came to inform Ma Xiuying of the meal and informed Zhu Yuanzhang that he had left the house for the banquet.

Ma Xiuying instructed: "I have a guest here, prepare a few more dishes, and by the way, I invite the people of Qi'an to come over, and I will say that an old man is here." After speaking, he smiled at Lu Xiaoqian and said, "You haven't seen Li Qi'er for a long time, and she is now about to become the mother of two children." ”

"Li Qi'er?" Lu Xiaoqian was taken aback, she didn't have a good impression of Li Qi'er, this kind of foxy woman was born to rob men, so she resolutely disagreed with Shen Wansan to take Li Qi'er in, but she didn't expect Li Qi'er to follow Ma Xiuying's side, and now she has become a concubine with a higher status than herself, this woman is really scheming.

"Can't think of it, right?" Ma Xiuying smiled with emotion, that period of no calculation and no conflict of interest seemed to be yesterday, but in fact, a long time has passed.

"I can't think of it." Lu Xiaoqian frowned slightly, glanced at Ma Xiuying complicatedly, and stopped talking. She wanted to persuade Ma Xiuying to be more long-hearted, but considering that it was inappropriate for the two of them to talk too much, and it was Ma Xiuying's housework, it was really inconvenient for her to be an outsider, so she swallowed back the words when they came to her mouth.

"Yes, speaking of which, my eldest son Zhu Biao was saved by Li Qi'er." Ma Xiuying's words showed gratitude, and she said something about Li Qi'er sacrificing herself to save herself.

Lu Xiaoqian was slightly moved, and her impression of Li Qi'er changed greatly, look at how harmonious other people's wives and concubines are, how much like a lot of bullshit in their own family, those concubines will only be jealous, if they fall, I am afraid that the concubines will want their lives. She couldn't help but envy: "Sister Xiuying is really well-disciplined, how can it be like my family......"

Ma Xiuying smiled lightly: "It's not good to talk about discipline, they are not my children, what do I discipline, as long as everyone is thinking about this family." ”

Lu Xiaoqian was silent, savoring this sentence.

At this moment, Li Qi'er arrived, she first finished saluting Ma Xiuying before slowly raising her head, and when she saw Lu Xiaoqian, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss Lu? Realizing that something was wrong, he hurriedly changed his words, "Mrs. Shen? ”

Ma Xiuying smiled: "Sister Lu, I'll just say that you still haven't changed, Sister Qi'er recognized you at a glance when she saw you." ”

Lu Xiaoqian held Li Qi'er's hand and said kindly: "I'm cheeky, follow Xiuying's sister to call you Sister Qi'er, don't be angry." As he spoke, he lifted his sleeves, wiped off the agarwood bracelet on his wrist, and said apologetically: "I came in a hurry, I didn't have any preparations, don't dislike Sister Qi'er." ”

Immediately, the room was filled with a refreshing scent. Everyone looked carefully, this bracelet was full of oil and dense, with a mellow and leisurely feeling, greasy and cold to the touch, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance.

Ma Xiuying couldn't help but praise: "Good thing." ”

Lu Xiaoqian looked a little surprised, "This is what Wansan brought back from Tianzhu when he went to sea, I heard that we don't have this thing in the Central Plains." ”

Li Qi'er hurriedly waved her hand, "I can't help it, I can't help it, Mrs. Shen, this bracelet is too valuable, and Qi'er doesn't dare to ask for it." ”

Ma Xiuying joked: "Sister Qi'er, don't save for Sister Lu, she is a rich woman now." ”

"How can I compare with you." Lu Xiaoqian blushed, turned her head and said to Li Qi'er: "You look down on your sister, so you don't want to accept it." ”

Li Qi'er hesitated to take it, and responded obediently: "Mrs. Shen, don't bother the little sister, if you can see Mrs. Shen again, the little sister will be too late to be happy." ”

"Time flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye......"

"Sister Lu should have been hungry for a long time when she was running around on the road, so I asked someone to bring the food over, and the three of us will eat and chat in this small hall." Ma Xiuying interrupted the politeness of the two and sat down with one of them, "The three of us have never eaten together." ”

"Being able to dine with the princess and the people of Qi'an, this time I have more face."

"Do you want to save face? Then I'll call all the concubines in the house. ”

"Don't, I'm flattered to eat with you, and if more people come, I won't dare to eat."

"Haha......"
