Chapter 810: The Past
(Girls' Literature)
"It's not a rare thing, it's just a longan forest," she said, opening the box to reveal a book of fish scales, "because they are all ancient trees, the longan in this forest is big and good, and it was almost chosen as a tribute a few years ago." ”
Mrs. Ma's smile was a little more sincere, although the previous things made her a little unhappy, but she didn't come here to quarrel with a little girl after all, if it weren't for the imminent birthday of Prince and Princess An, she wouldn't want to run so far this trip, although she was sitting still at the moment, but the sweat on her body had already wet her underwear, even if she was just sitting, it was very uncomfortable.
But fortunately, the windows in the house are open, and it is not unbearable.
Chanyi was a little surprised, she just talked about the longan forest she was passing by when she came, and she was sent to her hand when she turned her head, which was a bit too coincidental, but it was just in time for her birthday, and the Ma family should send some filial piety.
Even so, she hesitated for a moment and glanced at Zhang Quanshun to the side.
Just before Mrs. Ma came in, Chu Shaoyuan took Xia Mingche to the study, saying that there was something to discuss, leaving only Zhang Quanshun to serve here, and now Zhang Quanshun stood there respectfully, and when he saw Chanyi coming over, he smiled slightly, looking "at the mercy of the princess", which made Chanyi's heart relax.
Xiao Qing didn't get used to the style of these ladies of the family, and it was obviously a little disgusting to welcome her, but she still had to make such a light look, she simply said: "It seems that Mrs. Ma is still the same as before, and everything has to be mixed up, but I don't know what will happen if General Ma knows." ”
Chanyi did not collect the fish scale book, and Xiao Qing made sarcastic remarks three times and twice, which made Mrs. Ma's heart more and more unhappy.
The smile on her face was a little reluctant, although she could endure this breath, but in southern Sichuan, the Ma family has always been in power, although some unpleasant things happened a few years ago, but after all, it has been so long, and it is really indignant to be taken out by someone who is so unrelenting.
Miss Ma, who had endured it for a long time, gritted her teeth, she really couldn't bear Xiao Qing's belittlement of her mother and the Ma family, and her eyes became more and more sharp when she stared at Xiao Qing, as if she could see a hole in Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qinghun didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you go back a few years, I'm afraid that Mrs. Ma's industries can't be considered the Ma family." ”
This sentence has some meaning, it is no longer hidden and hidden, but it points out what the Ma family has done over the years, but it makes Chanyi feel shocked, Xiao Qing, who has always been cool, is a little aggressive when facing Mrs. Ma, she feels that something is not quite right, and now Xiao Qing's words make Chan Yi feel empowered.
Could it be that Sister Chengqing is saying that the Ma family's family style is not good, and Master Ma is insatiable?
She pursed her lips and smiled, "If that's the case, Mrs. Ma shouldn't give me this forest." ”
Mrs. Ma's expression changed, and she argued repeatedly: "How can the princess listen to her nonsense? If there is a lawsuit in this longan forest, how dare I send it to the princess? The princess probably didn't know that a few years ago, Chuangui had a big mess, and that disaster was mentioned until now, and it made my scalp numb, but this Miss Xiao didn't know much about it, and she thought she had learned the inside story and slandered her in front of the princess......"
Xiao Qing's eyes narrowed, and she was about to interrupt Mrs. Ma's words at the moment, but Xie gently covered the back of her hand and shook her head slowly, she gritted her teeth and was silent, only listening to Mrs. Ma's reversal of right and wrong.
"If the princess wants to know about those old things, why should she listen to others? Just come and ask the concubine body, the concubine body is a person who has experienced it personally, don't tell you, it's really not a good thing, it always makes people cry, tens of thousands of people in the city are displaced, the husband is watching, but there is no way, yes, this forest was originally not my Ma family, it was the family who entrusted someone to find the husband, and the husband even if it is difficult, but also to do something practical for the people, and then the family in order to thank the husband, this forest was given to the husband. ”
The words were vague, Chanyi listened to the clouds and clouds, and she didn't understand what Mrs. Ma was talking about, but there was one thing she heard, Mrs. Ma was so obsessed with what happened a few years ago that she couldn't say it in a normal narrative when she mentioned it.
She raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Ma: "It's all in the past, Mrs. Ma doesn't have to keep it in her heart, she still has to get by," after appeasing Mrs. Ma, she smiled and said, "That is the case, let's leave this forest behind." ”
Mrs. Ma originally saw that Princess An relied on Xiao Qing so much, and thought that it would take a lot of speech, but she didn't expect it to be so easy to move, and she was overjoyed for a while, so she couldn't help but glance up at Xiao Qing, and the smugness on her face couldn't hide it.
"It's not too early, so I won't disturb the princess to rest."
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Ma got up to say goodbye, Chanyi didn't keep it, but just sent a little maid to send it out.
Although Xiao Qing didn't want to see a family wife like Mrs. Ma in her heart, she knew that Chan Yi was different from her, and these people couldn't avoid contact, so she sighed in her heart.
Chanyi said with a smile: "Sister Qing doesn't have to worry, the prince said that the Ma family is not enough for him to see, the entire Sichuan and Guizhou are the fiefdom of the prince, what is a small Ma family?" It's just that something happened a few years ago that made Mrs. Ma so mindful. ”
Xiao Qing frowned, didn't know where to start and said to her, after thinking about it, he started from the beginning.
"Two years ago, when the Sichuan and Guizhou were in turmoil, the eldest brother was named a pioneer officer, and he came to southern Sichuan first, although the Ma family had some power at that time, but it was far less than today's momentum, and at that time with the eldest brother a left and a right cooperation, to stabilize southern Sichuan, but it was during this period that the people of southern Sichuan were disheartened, and some merchants and families were seeking protection.
"The eldest brother came to Sichuan to quell the war, where would he take care of these chores, so he threw them all to the Ma Jiang family, and the Ma Jiang family fished in troubled waters here, stole the beams and changed the pillars, and took the property of many families in southern Sichuan as their own, and made a windfall, but those merchants and the family didn't say anything because they wanted to protect themselves, until the war was basically calmed down, and there were many cases.
"One of them is quite big, a merchant who was occupied with family property directly found Mrs. Ma's carriage, when Mrs. Ma and Miss Ma just came back from the house, they met those people, those people were because the family property was occupied, and they really couldn't open the pot, so they simply broke the pot and broke to fight to the death, when it was a moment, I happened to pass by, and saved Mrs. Ma and Miss Ma."
Xiao Qing slowly told the story of a few years ago, the more Chanyi listened, the more angry she became, blaming Sister Daoqing for being so disgusted with the Ma family, it turned out that there was such a thing.
She couldn't help but ask, "And what about later?" What happened to those people? ”
Xiao Qing shook his head helplessly, "It is said that the people don't fight with the officials, in fact, they can't fight, if you really want to get a little cheap, it is to lose your lives, and then those people were put in prison, and they were questioned within a few days, their families were not convinced, and on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, they took advantage of the fact that the subordinates led General Ma's youngest son out to see the lights, and kidnapped General Ma's youngest son, and then killed people in order to vent their anger and threw them into the moat. Looking at Mrs. Ma's appearance, it is estimated that the prisoner has not been found until now. ”
No wonder Xiao Qing said that before, Mrs. Ma didn't reply a word, it was because of this reason.
Chanyi regretted accepting the fish scale book of the longan forest a little, and when she thought of these dark things, she felt uncomfortable.
"Jinxin, send this fish scale book to the prince, and let him dispose of it."
If there is anything difficult, Chanyi subconsciously handed it over to Chu Shaoyuan, which comforted Xie Shi's heart, at least the relationship between the two children is good, and they will not quarrel over anything.
Xie Shi taught Chan Yi by example: "In the future, there will only be more such things, not less, everything needs more eyes, if you change to someone else today, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to get rid of." ”
Chanyi knew that her mother was worried about herself, so she nodded obediently and said, "I wrote down my mother's words." ”
In fact, this is a trivial matter, she has seen the fish scale book, the forest is only about ten acres, neither a crop field, nor next to any important farmer, is an idle forest, on weekdays, the land will not be selected first to choose this kind of place, so it is used as a gift to look generous and good-looking, and it is not too valuable, compared to the identity of Chanyi, such a gift is the most suitable.
Moreover, the Ma family chose Chu Shaoyuan again, as Chu Shaoyuan's people, even the heavier gifts can be received, not to mention that it is just such a longan forest.
However, Chanyi will not take it lightly for these reasons.
The most terrifying thing in the world is not ghosts or gods or fierce birds and beasts, but people, especially those close to you, must be more vigilant, unless the flesh and blood will always protect you, no one will be able to really do it for you.
People can't stand the test, which is also the reason why Chanyi took their families by her side after employing them, and Chu Shaoyuan is even more so, even if the people around him have such interests, who can say that they must be credible? If it weren't for the real pinching of the lives of the whole family, how many people wouldn't turn back because of interests?
Xiao Qingdao: "Actually, it's not a big deal, my mother doesn't have to be so nervous, she has always done things safely, but she was taken advantage of, and such a small profit is really not worth talking about." ”
Chanyi glanced at Xiao Qing with a smile, I have to say that getting married is still a big change for a person, in the past, Sister Qing never liked to say much when she encountered these things, but now she will help her round, and she is still so harmonious with her mother, it really makes her sigh slightly.
