Chapter Ninety-Six: Intricate Relationships

Besides, in the warm room, Han Da and the others have already set up the dragon gate array and played mahjong. On the gambling table, Han Da told Ma Gonggong about the various benefits of Pingjiang Mansion, and at the same time, together with General Ma and Yuan Zizhi, he lit a cannon for Ma Gonggong so that he could continue to win cards.

And the concubine of the Ma family also stopped the pipa, picking an opportunity on the side, and kept blowing the conch, touting that Ma Gonggong was refreshed, and the atmosphere on the field could be described as happy. It was at this moment that the doorman ran over and said, "Uncle Han, your companion wants you to go out and say something." ”

Han Da glanced at Father-in-law Ma and wanted to retire temporarily, but unexpectedly, Father-in-law Ma waved his fat hand and said, "Really, it's a temporary retreat again, so wouldn't it be to leave our family aside?" I see, since he is a friend of Uncle Han, he will naturally not be a boring person. It's better to let him come in and talk together, the so-called solitary happiness is better than the joy of all! ”

When Han Da heard this, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly glanced at Yuan Zijiu. Yuan introspected himself, his eyes rolled, and he probably understood that there must be something wrong with the people outside. He smiled and persuaded: "Dear father, I think it's better to let Uncle Han go out for a while." ”

"No, no one can delay our game." Ma Gonggong is not stupid, and the one-mouth theory is also a set of sets: "If there is really an emergency, Uncle Han will not be so calm." He must have known who was out there, and he knew there was no urgency. So, don't make up excuses, just call people in. Are you here to be blind? ”

Ma Gonggong has said everything about this, and naturally no one dares to touch his moldy head. Han Da chose to shut up, smiling wryly there, but Yuan Zijiu made a final effort, trying to get Ma Gonggong to take back his fate. But Ma Gonggong can't speak, how can he swallow it back? It made Yuan Zijiu eat a little hanging.

"Well, I just hope it doesn't cause any trouble." Yuan introspectively slandered. He knew that Zhou Zheng's brain circuit was different from ordinary people, and he was afraid that he would have a different prejudice against eunuchs like some "moral people". Uncle Han on the other side also had a similar idea in his heart.

But it was useless to think about this, and after a while, the guards led Zhou Zheng into the conservatory, and his performance also made Yuan and Han breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Zheng entered the conservatory and saw Yuan Zijiu winking at him with the frequency of a bee's wings. I also saw that Han Da and General Ma were on both sides, and gave up the main seat to a person he didn't know. He knew that this one must be Ma Hongjun Ma Gonggong as the guards said. Along the way, the guards told him to be careful, and he must not go against his father-in-law's wishes.

"The grass people have seen their father-in-law." People are under low eaves and have to bow their heads. Although Zhou Zheng was unwilling, he still obediently knelt down and kowtowed to Ma Gonggong.

Ma Gonggong accepted Zhou Zheng's salute, and did not speak first, but looked him up and down, left and right. After a few glances, I couldn't help but feel happy when I saw that he was majestic and extraordinary, so he commented with a smile: "Yo, I only knew that Pingjiang Mansion was rich and rich before, and it took up all the treasures of the world. At this moment, the men and women in the house are also handsome, and they are really outstanding people. Uncle Han is an elegant scholar, and Xiao Yuanzi is a clever and slippery head, this one, what is this one called? ”

"Grass people Zhou Zheng, Zhou of the Zhou Dynasty, upright Zheng."

"It's a good name, and get up, and get closer, let our family have a look."

Zhou Zheng did not doubt him, stood up, walked forward, and approached Ma Gonggong's house. Ma Gonggong glanced at it twice, and then exclaimed: "Long and jade, excellent demeanor, really a first-class young handsome." ”

"Gonggong Xie boasted ......"

Zhou Zheng was about to open his mouth to thank him, but before he could finish his words, he felt that the back of his hand was suddenly crossed by something greasy. He looked down, only to find that it was Ma Gonggong's fat index finger, moving irregularly on the back of his hand.

“……”

Zhou Zheng even forgot that he knew martial arts, and he couldn't remember what "don't disobey his father-in-law", so he jumped three steps away. 100,000 alpacas galloped past in his heart, and the scene that flashed in his mind was Stephen Chow's hands pinching his waist in "Jiupin Sesame Official", where he was frantically scolding "Yin and Yang people have rotten butts".

And Ma Gonggong obviously did not feel ashamed of being arrested for committing a crime, but put on a face of displeasure, as if he had been bullied. He sat up straight, opened a pair of slitted eyes suddenly, and said sharply: "Jumping three feet away, what's the matter, dislike our family is a eunuch?" "Sluts are generally like this, they rarely think about whether they have done something wrong, and they only think that everything that happens is deliberately targeted by others.

Zhou Zhengyi's stomach was on fire, but he couldn't have an attack, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He controlled his emotions so that he would not rush up and blow up Ma Gonggong's pig's head, and then smiled reluctantly: "The grass people don't dare." He wanted to make up an excuse, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating, so he simply didn't say it.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't dare to refute, Ma Gonggong's face improved slightly, but he still refused to stop: "Since you don't dare, then come over and come to our house." ”

“……”

Zhou Zheng was really about to explode, but he still resisted the desire to explode. But he really can't be so shameless, and he sells his body in exchange for the favor of the eunuch. So between a dilemma, he stood still with an embarrassed smile.

Seeing all this, Ma Gonggong sneered twice, neither urging nor giving up. He was still staring at those slitted eyes, staring at Zhou Zheng to see what Zhou Zheng was going to do.

If it was just now, the rest of the people present couldn't see Ma Gonggong's groping pig hand because of the obscuration of the table. So this time, from the expressions and gestures of the two of them, everyone present roughly guessed the origin of the incident.

However, among them, the two members of General Ma's family are not the same as Zhou Zheng, so they naturally will not stand out for him. They looked at their noses and noses and their hearts, as if they were old monks, as if everything in front of them did not exist.

And the Han family has a great cause, and they really don't dare to touch the brows of Ma Gonggong, for fear that their family will get into trouble. Therefore, although he wanted to help, he didn't dare to open his mouth at all, so he had to wink at Yuan Zijiu, hoping that he could think of a way.

Yuan Zizhi saw all these in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh, thinking: "In the commentary, it is said that since ancient times, there have been many disasters in red faces, and when you get here, blue faces can also be disasters, which is really strange and strange." But after all, Zhou Zheng had a life-saving grace for him, and he was also counting on the "Nine Turns Golden Body Technique" behind him, so he stood up and left the table.

Yuan Zizhi brought out an embarrassed smile, took a few steps forward, and came to Ma Gonggong's side. leaned into Ma Gonggong's ear again and wanted to speak, but Ma Gonggong tilted his head and avoided him.

"No one is allowed to help me today!"

When you get here, you can see the benefits of being young. changed others, and was yelled at by Ma Gonggong, it was time to stop drumming. But Yuan Zizhi doesn't care, he is young anyway, so he should not understand the situation. He didn't care so much, he still smiled awkwardly, leaned in and whispered, "Dear Dad, don't be like this." Zhou is my eldest brother, and he is half of you, how can you do this? ”

"You didn't lie to me?" When Ma Gonggong heard this, he was also stunned.

You must know that although the eunuch is an incomplete man, he was raised by his mother and father, and grew up eating porridge and rice. They live in this world, and they are also bound by etiquette. From a moral point of view, for Ma Gonggong, it is nothing to play with male pets, after all, there has been a habit of dragon and yang since ancient times. This kind of hobby, although it is not on the table in the present world, is considered an elegant matter in private.

But if this kind of thing involves ethics, it's a different matter. And the righteous brother of the father-in-law and the son...... This sounds a bit winding, and it's not a blood relative, but it's still a socially recognized ethical relationship.

Just like Yuan Zijiu said, if Zhou Zheng really admits the relationship with him, then he will be implicated in this, and he will almost be equivalent to half of Ma Gonggong's righteous son. He can also use the name of Ma Gonggong to brush his face when he goes out, and if Ma Gonggong falls and others liquidate the eunuchs, then he will not be able to escape the involvement. In this case, in the face of such a relationship, although Ma Gonggong is a bastard, he is also a little unspeakable and a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, then tell me, the two of you are so different in age, how did you become brothers?" Ma Gonggong's face was still not good, but he was no longer aggressive, but scratched his head and asked this question helplessly.

(In ancient times, between fathers and sons, there were those who changed their names and those who did not.) Like Cui Chengxiu, the imperial historian of the Ming Dynasty, was Wei Zhongxian's adopted son, but he did not change his surname. )

(There is no doubt that the relationship between the ancient knot was certainly inferior to that of the biological child.) But the relationship of "righteousness" is indeed considered to be a kind of ethics. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, it was specifically stipulated that if a father-in-law marries a daughter-in-law, it will be regarded as "adultery". Therefore, although the righteous brother of the righteous son is more estranged, he is really speaking, and he is also bound by ethics. )
