Ma Xiuying hugged the sobbing Xiao Zhang and comforted her softly, becoming more and more disgusted with the vicious Da Zhang in her heart, and even hated Guo Zixing's children to the core. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is not surprising that Da Zhang's biological children inherited her viciousness, but it is a pity that Guo Tianjue was also raised crookedly. Speaking of which, Guo Tianjue is still born to Xiao Zhang's family, but this girl follows Guo Tianxu all day long, and is more affectionate to Da Zhang's than her own mother, and actually calls Xiao Zhang's as an old mother.

At this time, Guo Zixing and Zhang Tianyou walked side by side.

Zhang Tianyou is tall and has a rough face, and he looks very honest, but a pair of eyes that squint into two thin slits from time to time shows that this person is not as honest as he looks. He is also a master who likes to cause trouble, so he came to Dingyuan to take refuge with his brother-in-law Guo Zixing in his hometown, and has been living in the farm to help Guo Zixing plan the uprising.

Early in the morning, someone sent a message to Zhang Tianyou to return home, and Guo Zixing told him to escort his sister and nephew to Changzhou to live for a while to avoid the limelight. Although it was a long way to go, there was enough gold and silver to do so, and all matters were handled by him. Immediately made Zhang Tianyou so happy that his eyebrows danced, you must know that in front of Guo Zixing, he can only be low and small, and he will be a veritable leader without Guo Zixing.

Guo Zixing said cordially to the servant who was packing his luggage: "I received news yesterday that my father-in-law is in slightly ill health, so my wife and aunt want to rush back to visit relatives. You have to escort a few masters along the way, and you can discuss things with your uncle, and those who perform well will be rewarded!"

Zhang Tianyou stepped forward, picked up the wooden stick in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and roared in a rough voice: "My brother-in-law said that your deed of sale is in the Guo Mansion and is trustworthy." But I still have to say hello in advance. Those who are lazy will break one hand! Those who deceive their masters will break their legs! Those who flee will kill or bury ......."

The servants all responded, "Yes! The villain must obey the orders of the lady and uncle!"

Guo Zixing and Zhang Tianyou sang red face and black face one sang black face, and the matter of the lady's return to her parents' house was finalized, and the servants went to work after listening to the arrangement.

The more Ma Xiuying thought about it, the more strange it became, the big Zhang family said that the little Zhang family's mother died, Guo Zixing said that their father was sick, but the cheap uncle Zhang Tianyou was very happy, without a trace of sad expression, neither like a dead mother nor a sick father, so weird feeling. And looking at this situation, it seems that Guo Zixing does not plan to go with his family, this is by no means as simple as going back to his parents' house to visit relatives.

Ma Xiuying walked up to Guo Zixing and asked softly, "Isn't my father-in-law walking with us?"

"I'm still a little delayed, you go first, and I'll come later. Guo Zixing said perfunctorily, except for his wife and children and Zhang Tianyou, he didn't tell the truth to anyone.

Sure enough, it is estimated that Guo Zixing plans to arrange his wife and children before acting alone. Ma Xiuying clenched her fists, she was reluctant to leave Guo Zixing, she hadn't waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to appear, once she left Guo Zixing, she didn't know if she would miss Zhu Yuanzhang. She lowered her eyebrows and said obediently: "Since her father left, Xiuying has been taken care of by her father-in-law, and the ladies have left this time, and there is no one to serve tea and pour water around her father-in-law, so let her daughter stay and take care of her father-in-law to pay tribute to filial piety." ”

"No, no, you go with the ladies, and I have someone here to take care of me. Guo Zixing shook his head again and again, now that the government is tracking down tightly, Ma Xiuying is like a bomb with a fuse removed, and there is a danger of explosion at any time, how dare he stay by his side, he just wants to send Ma Xiuying as far away as the earth is. So despite Ma Xiuying's repeated pleas, he still shook his head and refused to allow it.

Ma Xiuying's expression was gloomy, she really didn't want to continue to live with the Da Zhang family and the Guo family brothers and sisters, and it was too troublesome to calculate some trivial things every day. But Guo Zixing didn't even stay with his wife and children, so what ability did she have to stay by Guo Zixing's side. She bit her lip and stepped aside, grimacing.

Da Zhang's watched coldly, she would not consider the fact that Ma Xiuying's parents died because of her husband, she would only think that it was Ma Xiuying's identity as a traitor that dragged down the whole family. This broom star still wants to follow her husband and harm her husband? It's just disgusting!

She was furious, and immediately grabbed a maid's ear and scolded fiercely: "Little hoof, why don't you quickly pack up your things and wait for the eggs to be laid?"

The maid suddenly suffered an unwarranted disaster, painful and aggrieved, with tears in her eyes but did not dare to argue.

Da Zhang's still couldn't understand his hatred, and scolded angrily: "Who are you crying for? Look at your lowly appearance, with low eyebrows and high faces, you are born with a criminal appearance, if you don't want to stay in the Guo Mansion, get out early, and save your whole family from coming to my Guo family again!"

Ma Xiuying's heart tightened, and her face changed abruptly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Da Zhang was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, but Guo Zixing and the others were indifferent, turning a blind eye and not hearing it.

Looking at Da Zhang's disdainful face and listening to her chatter and abuse, Ma Xiuying was furious, brushed the ends of her hair, quietly took off the small silver nails that pierced her ears and eyes, and with a flick of her fingers, the silver ear studs shot straight into the old scalper's buttocks, startling the old scalper to look up to the sky and hiss.

It just so happened that Da Zhang was wearing a red and bright begonia brocade shirt, and the long sleeves swayed with the movements of her hands, and the old scalper actually rushed over excitedly as if he had seen the provocation of the matador.

It's a pity that the ox cart is loaded with too many things, the old scalper rushed to the front of Da Zhang's, the front strength is brave, the stamina is insufficient, and the squatting and jumping mistakes at the critical moment are just worthy of hitting Da Zhang's bucket waist, and the pots and pans on the car are rolling to the ground.

"My mother!" is also the big Zhang's thick skin and fat flesh, rolled on the ground, and when he got up, he was unharmed, and his face was frighteningly pale.

But this sudden accident has shocked everyone enough, and all of them are in a mess, some are supporting Da Zhang's with their hands and feet, some are busy controlling the old scalper, and some are hurriedly cleaning up the scattered things on the car. Only this time, the Guo Mansion compound was even more lively than the market, shouting, making trouble, dogs barking, people jumping......

This sudden situation is not short, but in fact, it happens in a moment.

Previously, everyone was attracted by Da Zhang's loud abuse, and no one noticed Ma Xiuying's small movements, and after the incident, everyone was busy taming the old scalper, comforting Da Zhang, packing their luggage, and they didn't have time to deal with Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying was happy, covering her eyes "scared", covering the joy in her eyes, and secretly admiring Da Zhang's embarrassed expression through her hands.

But if you don't want people to know, you can't do it yourself. In the midst of the noise, there was still one person who noticed Ma Xiuying's small actions in secret, and this person was Guo Zixing's personal follower Tang He.

Tang He has just turned eighteen years old this year, he is stocky, tall, with a shy smile on his face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a very high nose bridge. His hometown is in Zhongli, Haozhou, which is separated from Ma Xiuying's hometown of Su County, where it is said that Han Zhongli, one of the Eight Immortals, is located, and it is also the hometown of Zhu Yuanzhang, who Ma Xiuying is waiting for.

In the early years, Tang He was also one of the best "child kings" in Zhongli County, when he was a child, he and Zhu Chongba, Xu Da, Zheng Yulin, and Zheng Yuchun became brothers with different surnames, stealing, kidnapping, and cheating, and they were very majestic in Zhongli County for a while. But one after another famines came, Zhongli's people died, those who fled, and the five child kings all became the commanders of the light poles, and in the end, everyone had to be like birds and beasts and go their separate ways.

The two brothers Zheng Yulin and Zheng Yuchun got into a lawsuit and ran away; Zhu Chongba entered the Huangjue Temple as a monk; Xu Da took over Zhu Chongba's command whip and went up the mountain to herd cattle; only Tang He was an orphan, with nothing to rely on, no parents to care about, and no children to be fed, so he simply dismantled a chair leg and wandered the rivers and lakes.

Tang He threw himself into the rivers and lakes to know that the world was difficult and dangerous, and he was only oppressed by other forces single-handedly, but fortunately he heard that Guo Zixing in Dingyuan was recruiting heroes, so he took refuge in Guo Zixing. Time flies, and now he has followed Guo Zixing for several years, daring to fight, dare to fight and have brains, so he is quite trusted by Guo Zixing, and he is half regarded as a small servant and half as a confidant.

At that time, people had a very strong sense of locality, and they were very attached to their homeland and family affection, and had deep feelings for their ancestral hometown, ancestral home, ancestral industry, and ancestral grave. If it is not for special circumstances, people rarely travel far, and it is not easy to meet a villager in the field. As for "the townsman sees the fellow and shoots him in the back", that is a thing invented by later generations.

Therefore, Tang He had a good impression of the father and daughter of the Liu family from Su County, and when Liu Dashan went to the farm before, the two often interacted and were very close. He admired Liu Dashan's personality and admired Ma Xiuying's intelligence. After Liu Dashanren died and Ma Xiuying became an orphan girl, he thought of his orphan's life experience and felt more and more pity for Ma Xiuying.

Although Tang He is not on an errand in the inner courtyard, he often follows Guo Zixing and knows a little about some things in the inner courtyard. For example, the housewife does not want to see Ma Xiuying, and the young master in the house often bullies and humiliates Ma Xiuying, etc. It's just that he, as a subordinate, can't interfere in the affairs of his master, and can only have infinite sympathy for Ma Xiuying in his heart.

Hearing this, the housemother began to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai to humiliate Ma Xiuying, Tang He sighed silently, his eyes fell on Ma Xiuying's thin body, hoping that this little girl who lost her father and mother before the age of ten could be brave and strong. Who knew that in a flash, he saw Ma Xiuying, whose lips were pursed, quietly waving his hand, and a silver light quickly escaped into the cow's buttocks, and then the danger of the old scalper running out of control and hitting the housemother occurred.

Tang He thought about it for a while and knew that this was not an accident, it must have been Ma Xiuying's doing. While secretly blaming Ma Xiuying for being reckless, if he was found out, he would be scolded by the lord and the housewife, and at the same time quickly approached the old scalper, pretending to help subdue the old scalper, and took the opportunity to touch a few handfuls on the cow's buttocks, and found out the silver earrings hidden in the palm of his hand. When everyone was busy taking care of Da Zhang's family, he walked up to Ma Xiuying with a casual look and whispered, "Miss Ma, your earrings have fallen off." ”

Ma Xiuying's face turned pale, her hands were clasped to her thighs, she didn't say a word, she looked at Tang He in fear, and when he shouted, she would face the anger and scolding of Guo Zixing's family.
