Chapter 173: Healing the Estrangement and Reconciling Together
"This Li Qi'er is getting more and more disagreeable, she doesn't report first when she comes in, and she doesn't leave big or small, master, you can't continue to indulge her like this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xun Ying looked at the back of Li Qi'er leaving, and said lightly. She was really tired of Li Qi'er's inability to jump up and down in front of Ma Xiuying, instigating and provoking her face.
Ma Xiuying frowned and glanced at her, and said lightly: "You are not big or small, how can you say that she is also an aunt, and she is the master of the house, how can you say this about her? It seems that I have used you too much, making you more and more unruly." Hmph, there are no rules in this mansion, why are there rumors in the mansion, and how do Li Qi'er and the women in the house know about the situation outside, you can find out all these for me! After checking himself, Zijuan, and Luliu went down to receive the punishment. ”
A gentle reprimand suddenly hit Xun Ying's heart like a heavy drum, she noticed Ma Xiuying's faint anger, and hurriedly knelt down, "Master, the slave knows her mistake." ”
"Get up, I know you're doing it for my good, but one must first see where you are, and know what to say and what not to say. In the past, I didn't care about teaching you because I was the only one in the house, and even if you had a big mistake, I would have carried it for you. Now that there is a new person in the house, if you don't change your temper, I may not be able to protect you if you cause trouble in the future. Ma Xiuying looked at the trembling Xun Ying in her heart. In fact, Xunying has not changed, it has become her. She has always regarded Xunying as her sister, and almost never says anything serious about Xunying, and today's words will definitely scare Xunying enough. She didn't want to teach Xunying a lesson like this, but as there were more and more women in the house, there would be disputes where there were women, and when the time came, others would not dare to show their faces to her.
"Thank you for the master's teachings, the slave and maid understand. Xun Ying was thoughtful, Ma Xiuying, as the head of the Zhu Mansion, had to bow her head in the face of some things, could she be a slave and maid bigger than her master. As Ma Xiuying said, if she offends people without knowing the severity of her in the future, I am afraid that Ma Xiuying will not be able to protect her, and she will embarrass Ma Xiuying in vain.
"It's good to understand, you don't have to be restrained in front of me, you have to be long-sighted in front of others. Let's go, go to the garden, and tell me about my father-in-law's side by the way. Ma Xiuying didn't want to embarrass Xunying too much, so she changed the topic.
"Yes. Xun Ying hurriedly straightened his back and followed.
The sunset is like a colorful streamer slowly falling in the sky, and the rockery flowers and plants in the garden are shrouded in a layer of glow, especially the pond water in the middle is like being gilded and shining. Some of the little birds flew down in the woods looking for a place to roost, and some of the daytime flowers shyly closed their petals, and only the breeze still lingered on their fragrance......
The servants were surprised that it was almost dark, and Ma Xiuying and Xunying were still walking in the garden, but they didn't know what earth-shattering things they were talking about under their calm faces.
"Since the master and his master left Haozhou, Marshal Guo has handed over many affairs in the army to Guo Tianxu to take care of. Guo Tianxu was stubborn and didn't listen to the persuasion of others at all, plus Zhang Tianyou and Guo Tianjue tried their best to make Haozhou a miasma. Sun Deya and Zhao Jun used them to find an excuse to lead the troops back to Haozhou when they saw the opportunity, and now Marshal Guo's family is no longer the only one in Haozhou City, and he is busy all day long just to deal with Sun Deya and Zhao Junyong and others. There are also many soldiers who are dissatisfied, and some generals even propose to recruit the master back to deal with the overall situation. In short, the current situation is very unfavorable to Marshal Guo's side, if the master and the master do not intervene, it is estimated that Marshal Guo will not be able to hold on sooner or later......" Xun Ying 1510 said the information from Haozhou, and his tone was inevitably filled with schadenfreude excitement.
"Alas, my father-in-law is short-sighted and narrow-minded, and I have long expected this day. Ma Xiuying paused, her eyes focused on the sparkling water, and said expressionlessly: "Pay close attention to the safety of the Guo Mansion, if the situation deteriorates to the point where it is beyond control, save people first, and we must ensure the safety of my stepfather and mother, as for the others, it depends on their creation." "Ma Xiuying is not a virgin, except for Guo Zixing and Xiao Zhang, everyone else in the Guo Mansion treats her badly, of course she will not worry about the life or death of these people.
Xun Ying shook her head secretly, although Ma Xiuying said coldly, she was actually very kind, and she would definitely take this opportunity to fall into the ground. She didn't forget that although Guo Tianxu and Da Zhang's caused Zhu Yuanzhang to go to prison and Ma Xiuying to burn her chest, Guo Zixing's acquiescence was indispensable.
"My father-in-law is so busy that he probably doesn't have the heart to take care of our affairs. You simply sent a letter to Haozhou, saying that the starling wanted to marry Guo Shanfu's daughter. Ma Xiuying is not too keen on what happened in Haozhou, she can't let go of Zhu Yuanzhang the most, since Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't dare to open this mouth to Guo Zixing, let herself come forward. The two have been in a cold war for a long time, and someone has to bow their heads first, although Ma Xiuying doesn't like Zhu Yuanzhang's flowery heart, she doesn't plan to give him to anyone. The idea of having a couple for a lifetime is no longer expected, but the most important position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart cannot be snatched away.
"Madam, do you really agree with the master to marry that Guo Ninglian?" Xun Ying opened his mouth wide. Although Ma Xiuying's conversation with Li Qi'er had let her know Ma Xiuying's plans, she still couldn't help but be shocked and puzzled. No one knows Ma Xiuying's feelings for Zhu Yuanzhang better than her, and everything Ma Xiuying has done has long gone beyond the scope of a wife, opening up the road ahead for Zhu Yuanzhang in obscurity and properly handling the remaining troubles...... If this kind of dedication is not love, then Xunying really doesn't know what love is.
But how can a person who loves so deeply accept other women to share their husbands? Xun Ying knows that her master is not the kind of cowardly woman, and the regression she makes is by no means succumbing, but because she loves someone and sacrifices so much, Xun Ying can't help but wonder, is this kind of love worth it?
Ma Xiuying didn't look back, but as if she understood Xun Ying's confusion, she said lightly: "Because Starling is a soaring dragon, all I can do is help him fly higher, but I can't cause him a trace of restraint." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the mansion with a spring breeze on his face, and suddenly his face became gloomy when he saw Xun Ying waiting at the door, and a sense of disgust for being watched suddenly rose in his heart, and he choked: "What are you doing here?"
Xun Ying replied respectfully: "Madame occasionally felt cold today, and she was a little uncomfortable, so she rested first, so she had to let the slave wait here for the master to return to the house, and see what else the master had to do." ”
"Hmph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, turned his head and left, he knew that he couldn't hide Ma Xiuying from drinking with the Guo family brothers and even having a private meeting with Guo Ninglian, but when he returned to the mansion, Ma Xiuying gave him a cold attitude that he avoided, which was really annoying, who was the head of the family in this mansion? He really wanted to rush to Ma Xiuying's room immediately to ask for clarification, but his steps walked towards Li Qi'er's room angrily.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger did not last long, because Li Qi'er gave him a big surprise. "Master, the concubine went to Mrs. today, and finally persuaded Mrs. that she agreed to marry Miss Guo. ”
"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang was full of suspicion written on his face, since Ma Xiuying agreed with him to marry Guo Ninglian, why did he still give him a look.
"How dare the concubine deceive the master?" Li Qi'er lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Madame asked about the concubine's opinion on the master's marriage to Miss Guo, and the concubine immediately thought that it was a great thing, so that our family was a little more lively, maybe the master could add Ding earlier, and then the lady thought about it and agreed to the marriage between the master and Miss Guo." ”
"Haha, my good man, you are still sensible. Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Li Qi'er and kissed him heavily, gasping: "Even if the master has another woman, he won't snub my good ......."
Li Qi'er closed her eyes shyly: Ma Xiuying, you don't care about your man, but I can't be ignored by my man......
The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in front of Ma Xiuying refreshed, shushing the cold, "Madam, I heard that you were sick, and I didn't come over at night for fear of disturbing your rest, now are you better?"
"Thank you Starling for your concern," Ma Xiuying stared at those eyes full of hope, and said straight to the point without going around in circles: "Yesterday, I wrote a letter to my father-in-law to persuade my father-in-law to agree to your marriage with Miss Guo." ”
"This, this ......" Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands, the corners of his mouth couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and then he asked worriedly: "What if my father-in-law doesn't agree?"
"Father-in-law is now busy fighting for territory with Sun Deya and them, how can he have the heart to take care of your private affairs. Ma Xiuying's expression was very serious, "After you are busy with this matter, you have to think about the next step, no matter who wins or loses between your stepfather and Sun Deya, the remaining one will definitely threaten your position!"
"Thank you Madame for reminding me!" Zhu Yuanzhang was in a cold sweat, patronizing his children's affection, and almost ignored such a major event. At this moment, he has mixed tastes, a woman who thinks about herself wholeheartedly, but he is suspicious and angry with her, which is really shameful.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood has changed, and his movements and demeanor have also changed, holding Ma Xiuying's hand and wanting to speak.
Ma Xiuying suddenly noticed his complicated mentality, not only smiled, but also leaned gently on his shoulder. The estrangement between husband and wife is like an iceberg melting, and there is no more.
Under the beating red sun, two figures who leaned on each other overlapped, as if they were blending between heaven and earth, and the breath emanating from their bodies was warmer than the sun, and their eyes were wet unconsciously. It would be nice if the lady and the lord had been like this all the time!
A few days later, a reply came from Haozhou, Guo Zixing was really busy with the battle with Sun Deya, and he didn't have time to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang's private affairs, so he directly replied with five words: Look at it yourself.
With Guo Zixing's consent and Ma Xiuying's letting go, the marriage of Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Ninglian was officially finalized.
