As a mother, Ma Xiuying was originally sick, but Zhu Biao's chest tightness and shortness of breath made her worry, she was worried that Zhu Biao's heartache would recur, so she couldn't take care of Zhu Biao with her clothes. Everyone else saw that she was full of energy, and when she was cured, she actually suppressed her illness all her life.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao is fine, he can go to the ground after a night's rest, and he will still go to class the next day.

Ma Xiuying persuaded him to recuperate for two more days.

But he said: "Dropping out of school is like a whetstone, you don't see its damage, you lose every day, and children don't dare to be lazy." ”

Ma Xiuying had to rely on him and told him to follow him carefully.

Xun Ying sent Zhu Biao out and came back to talk about it, "I met Brother Yuan in the garden just now, he seemed to be preoccupied, and he didn't say anything when he asked him." ”

"The prince hasn't left the house today?" asked Ma Xiuying. Yuan Xing is Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldier, since he is in the mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang is estimated to be in the mansion.

Xun Ying replied expressionlessly: "The prince was in the study in the morning to review the documents, and Concubine Hui asked people to come and tell the county lord of Ningguo that he was sick again, so he went to visit the county lord of Ningguo. ”

Ma Xiuying was dumbfounded, and the illness of the county lord of Ningguo seemed to have become Guo Hui's means of asking to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

Guo Ninglian's daughter Lin'an County Lord and Guo Hui's daughter Ningguo County Lord were born in the same month, only a few days apart. The county lord of Lin'an grew up healthily under the careful care of Guo Ninglian, and he was white and fat, lively and smart. The county lord of Ningguo is not so blessed, she is almost brought up by a nurse, Guo Hui is very cold to this daughter, and often throws it aside and ignores it. The county lord of Ningguo is not close to his mother, and he is still very strange and afraid to see Guo Hui when he is more than two years old.

Once the county lord of Ningguo suffered from the cold, and at first he only had a runny nose and sneezed, and the nurse told Guo Hui that she asked the nurse to put on a few more clothes for the child and sent people away. In the evening, the county lord of Ningguo launched a high fever, which was menacing, and the nurse reported it again, so she panicked and asked someone to ask the doctor and Zhu Yuanzhang.

The county lord of Ningguo was hot all over his body, babbling indiscriminately, which reminded Zhu Yuanzhang of the dangerous situation of Ma Xiuying's fever, and he stayed with the county lord of Ningguo for a whole night that night.

On the second day, the county lord of Ningguo had a fever that subsided, but the child's expression was a little sluggish, obviously leaving sequelae.

Guo Hui pretended to cry and blame himself, and put the blame on the servant.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad and put to death all the servants who took care of the child, including the nurse, and ordered Guo Hui to take care of it personally, and if the child had anything else, he should be notified in time.

Since then, when the county lord of Fanning Country had a cough and fever, Guo Hui sent someone to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that Zhu Yuanzhang would take time to see the child as long as he was in the house. Originally, after the palace had more than ten wives and concubines, Guo Hui could see Zhu Yuanzhang at most two or three times a month, because of the children, he could see Zhu Yuanzhang frequently.

Over time, this became an excuse for Guo Hui to see Zhu Yuanzhang. According to the private legend of the servants in the house, she even deliberately let the county lord of Ningguo catch a cold so that Zhu Yuanzhang could come to visit.

When this matter reached Xun Ying's ears, he couldn't believe that there was such a ruthless mother in the world.

Ma Xiuying also couldn't bear it, and once mentioned to Zhu Yuanzhang that she took the initiative to raise the county lord of Ningguo.

With a sick daughter, Guo Hui can often see Zhu Yuanzhang, she naturally refuses to hand over the child, and even rake that Ma Xiuying has three sons and came to rob her daughter.

Ma Xiuying had no choice but to do it, even though she sympathized with the misfortune of the county lord of Ningguo, she couldn't do anything. knew that Guo Hui was deceiving Zhu Yuanzhang, and she was not easy to debunk. After all, with Zhu Yuanzhang's visits from time to time, Guo Hui will pretend to be good to the child, once the child loses its use value, it may be worse than the current situation.

Therefore, Xun Ying was angry when she talked about Zhu Yuanzhang going to visit the county lord of Ningguo, and while she was angry that Zhu Yuanzhang was played with by Guo Hui and applauded, she sympathized with the county lord of Ningguo. But for the sake of this child, she can only endure it like Ma Xiuying and secretly get angry.

"I have to be free, let Biao'er and them go to see Ning Guo and play with her for a while. Ma Xiuying sighed, it is not easy for adults to interfere with each other, so they can only let the children be close to each other, I hope that Ning Guo can grow up safely under the care of his brothers.

She didn't want to mention this uncomfortable topic again, and instead said, "Since Yuan Xing is in the mansion, ask him to come to see me." ”

Yuan Xing hurried over, "Sister, what's the matter with me?"

Ma Xiuying was in a bad mood, and choked angrily: "I can't look for you if I'm okay?" I heard Biao'er say that you came to me yesterday, and now you have time, why don't you come?"

"Hey, that's not what I mean, I saw that you and Shizi were not in good health, and there were so many things going on in the house, so it was inconvenient to bother. Yuan Xing touched his nose and asked cautiously, "Are you feeling better?"

Ma Xiuying also knew that her anger was a little inexplicable, and said lightly: "It's just an occasional cough, nothing is wrong." You and my sister and brother don't bother anything, just say something directly. ”

Yuan Xing opened his mouth and stammered, wanting to speak and stopping.

Ma Xiuying asked vigilantly: "You shouldn't be in trouble outside, right?" A Zhu Wenzheng had already made her haggard, and Yuan Xing didn't dare to go to Zhu Wenzheng's future again.

Yuan Xing hurriedly declared, "No, no, I fell in love with a girl, and I want to ask you to help me consider it." ”

"Didn't you make me happy?" Ma Xiuying's eyes widened in unimaginability.

Yuan Xing is in his early thirties and has always been single. During this period, Ma Xiuying yelled and scolded, and spared no effort to introduce the girl to Zhang Luo, but he just refused to get married, and every time Ma Xiuying mentioned marriage, he found an excuse to delay, or he avoided it. Ma Xiuying couldn't do anything about him, so she simply didn't care about him anymore. This will hear that he suddenly has plans to get married, which really surprised Ma Xiuying.

"Sister......" Yuan Xing dragged out his voice, with a helpless face, could it be that his character was so untrustworthy.

Ma Xiuying came back to her senses and immediately began to check her household registration, "Where is that girl from? How old is she? How does she look? Is it good for you?"

Yuan Xing was asked red-faced, and said: "Her father is a horse in the army, surnamed Xia, she just passed the ...... this year."

Ma Xiuying saw that he couldn't speak clearly for a long time, and said hurriedly: "As long as the girl has a good character, it doesn't matter if the family conditions are almost there." Another day, you bring the girl to me to see, if the person is good, I will approve your relatives. However, my sister-in-law has just passed away, and it will take a few months for your family affairs to be organized. ”

A few days later, Yuan Xing brought Miss Xia over.

Miss Xia's facial features are not particularly outstanding, but her eyes are fascinating, and when she looks at people, she seems to be sparkling and charming. She clutched the corners of her clothes, restrained, very nervous that she could see the most noble woman in Ying Tianfu.

Ma Xiuying said kindly: "Yuan Xing has already told me about the matter between you, can he embarrass you? If you don't want to, I will make the decision for you, so that he will not harass you in the future." ”

She saw that Miss Xia was young, and with Yuan Xing, she really felt like an old cow eating tender grass, so she was worried that this girl was not willing.

"Sister!" Yuan Xing couldn't cry or laugh, how could he be a sister who buried his younger brother like this.
