Chapter 52: No scruples are no scruples
"Brother Yao, I still have something to ask for. "Ma Xiuying's face was slightly embarrassed, she knew that her request was a little difficult, but she really couldn't think of a better way, maybe only Yao Tianxi could help her at the moment.www.biquge.info
"You say. Yao Tianxi did not hesitate.
Ma Xiuying smiled reluctantly, "I want to ask you to take Yuan Xing in for the time being, he is a sensible child and will not cause you trouble." ”
"Sister?" Yuan Xing was taken aback, didn't Ma Xiuying want him?
Yao Tianxi and Shen Fu asked in unison, "Why?"
"My father-in-law started a business in Haozhou, and I originally wanted to stay quietly in Guo's Mansion and wait for the day when my father-in-law picked us up. But there are people in the house who don't want to see me, and Yuan Xing has offended the eldest lady for me, and I am afraid that the eldest lady will be unfavorable to him. Ma Xiuying's concerns are not untargeted, the Da Zhang family even dared to secretly poison her, not to mention an orphan like Yuan Xing who picked up halfway.
"Sister!" Yuan Xing choked, it turned out that Ma Xiuying didn't want him, but was worried that Da Zhang's would hurt him.
Ma Xiuying took Yuan Xing's hand and said apologetically: "I once said that I wanted you to live a good life, but you were wronged with me. This time you ruined the eldest lady's plan, she must hate you to death, if she wants to find an excuse to deal with you, I can't protect you at all, so it's safer for you to follow Brother Yao than with me. When we have money in the future, I'll rent a small house outside, and you can move back then." ”
"I don't want to leave you!" Yuan Xingmeng shook his head, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Ma Xiuying encountered something like the last time she was sick again, and there was not even a messenger by her side.
Yao Tianxi was like a blow, and her mind was full of echoes Ma Xiuying's words that she would wait for her stepfather to take her back, and subconsciously asked, "Why do you want to go back to Haozhou?"
Ma Xiuying looked at him strangely, "My hometown is there, why don't I go back?"
"Aren't you going back? I heard that there are thieves and bees in Haozhou, how can there be peace in Changzhou. Yao Tianxi said bitterly, as if a handful of sand had been stuffed in his mouth.
"I have to go back!" Ma Xiuying's expression was firm, only by going back could she find Zhu Yuanzhang, and only by going back could she take revenge on her parents, even if she only had one breath left, she had to find a way to go back.
Yao Tianxi wanted to say something, but Shen Wansan stopped him and said, "Since the people in the Guo Mansion are not good to you, and Junior Brother Yuan is not willing to leave you, it is better for you to leave the Guo Mansion." My family and Tianxi's family have farms in the suburbs, and you can live at the farm for the time being and make plans later. ”
"I'm leaving Guo Mansion?" Ma Xiuying's eyes were confused, she didn't think about leaving Guo Mansion, but she would marry Zhu Yuanzhang as Guo Zixing's righteous daughter in the future, if she left Guo Mansion, she would not be Guo Zixing's righteous daughter, would she still have a chance to meet Zhu Yuanzhang?
Shen Wansan hit the nail on the head and said, "They're going to kill you, why are you still staying in that mansion?"
Ma Xiuying's mouth was stunned, yes, instead of staying in Guo Mansion and others to frame them, it is better to find a way to protect yourself first, as long as the people are still there, they will always find a way to solve the problem. Even if he takes a step back and doesn't marry Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as he has a lot of wealth, it will definitely be easy to deal with Landlord Liu. What's more, if she can bring money to see Guo Zixing in the future, Guo Zixing will definitely not turn her out of the door, a righteous daughter, and who will push away the benefits she has received? The top priority now is to avoid the persecution of the Da Zhang clan and find a way to go back in the future. In the past, she was too worried about Guo Zixing's identity as a righteous daughter, and she was purely angry by tying herself to Guo's mansion.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiuying showed a refreshing smile, "If Yuan Xing and I can move out of the Guo Mansion, please also ask Brother Yao and Xiao San to help us find a place to stay temporarily." She didn't refuse the kindness of the two, she already owed them a lot, and these favors can't be repaid in a few words. If one day she can really become the queen of the Ming Dynasty, she will definitely vote for me with papaya and repay her with Qiongju!
"No problem!" Yao Tianxi rushed in front of Shen Wansan and agreed, he was concerned about the chaos just now, and he was only afraid of Ma Xiuying's departure, which would calm down, thinking of solving Ma Xiuying's predicament first, and maybe she wouldn't want to leave again when her life was peaceful in the future.
Everyone agreed that Ma Xiuying, who had no worries, went back to the house to ask to see Zhang Tianyou, and put forward the decision that he and Yuan Xing wanted to move out of the Guo Mansion. After all, she and Yuan Xing are two living people, and it is impossible to leave the Guo Mansion quietly, if they leave out of thin air, once the people of the Guo Mansion find out about the hole in the wall, Yao Tianxi will be affected.
Zhang Tianyou listened to Ma Xiuying's intention and immediately vetoed it. He had just exchanged a letter with Guo Zixing, informing Guo Zixing of the recent situation in the house. Of course, he didn't mention that Da Zhang's intention to kill Ma Xiuying was sick, but only briefly mentioned Ma Xiuying's illness. If he doesn't write these things, the nursing home that carried the letter will also show Guo Zixing, after all, those people are Guo Zixing's subordinates, not his subordinates.
Guo Zixing's reply was a little intriguing, he didn't have a word of reproach, but repeatedly told Zhang Tianyou to take care of everyone and not to live up to his expectations. He also said that the uprising was imminent, and the army's spirit could not be shaken, and once the matter was completed, someone would be sent to pick everyone back.
Zhang Tianyou understood what Guo Zixing meant, the righteous daughter was abused by his wife, and it would make those subordinates who followed Guo Zixing feel cold, Ma Xiuying is a big banner for Guo Zixing to win people's hearts, and he must not fall down at this moment.
So no matter how Ma Xiuying begged, Zhang Tianyou didn't let go, "You are the young lady of Guo Mansion, how can you live outside?"
"No one treats me as Miss Guofu, I'm just a superfluous person, why waste food?"
"What do you mean by this, there has been no shortage of food and clothing in the house over the years. ”
"I didn't buy a new coat after I came to Cheung Chau, and all I ate was leftovers, and now I don't even have a monthly routine, my uncle really doesn't know?" Ma Xiuying raised her head, her pale face was full of sarcasm, and she looked at Zhang Tianyou indifferently.
Zhang Tianyou looked away embarrassedly, "In a new place, Mrs. may be busy with affairs, and some ignore you, my uncle promises you that these things will not happen in the future, you can live in the house with peace of mind, and come directly to your uncle if you have something." ”
Ma Xiuying smiled coldly, "Can I live in peace? Maybe my uncle also wants me to die of illness in the mansion?" It's not that she has to say these heart-wrenching words, but someone has eyes and ears, but they can't see or hear.
Zhang Tianyou was annoyed and angry, "What did you say, I know that you are sick, and I will call you a doctor immediately." If I want to leave you alone, who will go to the doctor in the middle of the night?"
"Yes, I want to thank my uncle for hiring a doctor for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to you today, cough cough ......" Ma Xiuying coughed heartbreakingly, and it took a long time to relieve her breath and put a bag of medicinal herbs on the table, "But Uncle might as well take this medicinal herb to the pharmacy and ask if this pack of medicine can really cure a person's cold disease." Uncle, I don't want to die. If you really have any mercy for me, please let me go. You will be a father in the future, if your children are like me......"
Zhang Tianyou picked up the medicinal herbs in disbelief, and finally sighed and interrupted Ma Xiuying's words, "I can't be the master of this matter, my brother-in-law entrusted you to me, and I must take you back to my brother-in-law, so I won't let you leave the house." Since you are still sick, go back to your room to rest, and I will personally find a doctor to see you. ”
Hearing this, Ma Xiuying knew that she couldn't leave Guo's mansion, as long as Guo Zixing still cared about her, Zhang Tianyou would not let go. That's fine, she still has to find Zhu Yuanzhang through Guo Zixing, and it is not a bad thing to have the reputation of the righteous daughter of Guo Mansion. Since she has a backer and can still use it, she will not let go of this opportunity and take the opportunity to put forward conditions, "I also agreed to take in Uncle Yuan Xing at the beginning, but the mansion still doesn't care about Yuan Xing's food and clothing, and I have no use as a sister, so I want to go out of the house to see if there is any means to make a living to support our sister and brother." ”
"I will inform the housekeeper to arrange food and clothing for Yuan Xing in the future. Zhang Tianyou was afraid that Ma Xiuying would sneak away, so he said: "There is no one serving in your yard, I will add a few more maids to you." ”
Of course, Ma Xiuying would not agree to Zhang Tianyou to send someone to monitor her, "No need, my yard is small, and there are not many people who can live, just have Yuan Xing to take care of me." Uncle rest assured, as long as Yuan Xing and I can eat enough and don't get sick, we won't think about leaving Guofu, after all, it is not easy to go out to earn a living. ”
"If only you could figure it out. Zhang Tianyou pretended not to understand Ma Xiuying's blunt sarcasm. Anyway, his purpose is just to keep Ma Xiuying, as for whether Ma Xiuying is in a good mood or not, it doesn't matter what he does.
At this moment, the servant told Zhou Huniu that she was pregnant.
Zhang Tianyou was overjoyed and left Ma Xiuying to rush to the backyard.
Ma Xiuying also went to visit, Zhou Huniu was the only person in Guo Mansion who was good to her, and when she heard that Zhou Huniu was pregnant, she was really happy for Zhou Huniu.
Zhang Tianyou's courtyard was surrounded by a group of people, all beaming. Zhou Huniu looked shy but couldn't hide her joy, and was talking softly with the big Zhang family and the little Zhang family.
Ma Xiuying stepped forward to congratulate.
Da Zhang's face sank suddenly, "What are you going to do, don't give your illness to Hu Niu." ”
Xiao Zhang hurriedly said: "Xiuying's illness is almost better. ”
Big Zhang glared at Xiao Zhang, "Who knows if she has other problems, and it's too late to regret it when she infects others." ”
Xiao Zhang retracted his head and stopped talking. Zhou Huniu's smile froze on her face. The servants were even more angry, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhang Tianyou was on fire in his heart, and the originally happy atmosphere was dissipated by the eldest sister's two words. He is now very tired of the restless Guo Mansion, and if it weren't for his brother-in-law asking him to take care of the group of family members in Cheung Chau, he would have wanted to rush back to Haozhou to participate in the uprising. Now his brother-in-law wants him to protect Ma Xiuying, and he doesn't know how the eldest sister who is targeting Ma Xiuying everywhere will be angry when she hears the news.
Ma Xiuying has long been accustomed to Da Zhang's attitude, and she doesn't look at her, she only says goodbye to Zhou Huniu, Zhang Tianyou and Xiao Zhang, "Uncle, uncle, stepmother, I'll go back first." ”
"Stand! Who told you that you are neither big nor small, didn't you see me here?" Da Zhang was furious, Ma Xiuying only talked to the other three people, obviously not taking her in her eyes, she hadn't seen her for a few days, this dead girl was fat.
Anyway, in the future, Zhang Tianyou will be directly responsible for the food and clothing of himself and Yuan Xing, and there is no need to look at Da Zhang's face. Ma Xiuying continued to ignore Da Zhang's family, and looked at Zhang Tianyou aggrievedly, "Uncle, let me leave ......"
"You go down first. Zhang Tianyou had a splitting headache, and continued to let the eldest sister toss Ma Xiuying, maybe Ma Xiuying was going to shout out of the house again, and it was best to separate the two of them quickly.
"Yes. Ma Xiuying didn't look back, so she left.
The servants were dumbfounded, and they almost couldn't believe that Ma Xiuying would slap the big lady's face in public.
Da Zhang was so angry that he called his younger brother's name, "Zhang Tianyou, what do you mean? You actually connived at her disrespectful elders?"
"Eldest sister, you should go back first, the tiger girl is just pregnant, and she can't stand the noise, I'll go to you to explain later." Zhang Tianyou coaxed and persuaded him, he couldn't say what Guo Zixing meant in public, so he could only tell Da Zhang's in private.
Ma Xiuying hummed a little song, walked around along the way, and slowly returned to Lin Yingyuan, she had never been so happy as today, although she couldn't leave the house, but in the future, she and Yuan Xing would not be hungry again, and she didn't have to be subject to the Da Zhang family.
