Chapter Forty-Seven: My Thoughts on the Brocade Robe
Ma Yue will say goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law Zhuang Ke when he returns home this time, and he will move to serve the teacher in the Assassin Mansion, and when the horse farm is built, he will lead the team to guard the Lingshui Horse Farm, and Ma Teng will soon be in Longxian County to work as a thief Cao, which is a happy event. Dinner parties at home are naturally indispensable.
The lumpy salt in the hand is crushed, the leg of lamb has been roasted golden and exudes an attractive fragrance, this hand roast sheep skills or Ma Yue and Cheng Yin learned, from the very beginning of the roast out of his own reluctance to eat to later even the most gluttonous horse monkey heard San Lang in the roast sheep will run over to grab it, Ma Yue has put a lot of effort on this.
The short knife made a few light cuts on the leg of mutton, pricked out a piece of mutton and handed it to Ma Chao, and then gave it to Ma Xiu and Ma Dai, and then Ma Yue began to enjoy today's dinner. Sitting quietly for a long time is this moment, Xiao Ma Chao moved his stiff legs to a more comfortable sitting position, took the mutton handed by Ma Yue and gently sniffed it a few times and opened his mouth to bite, and the hot one made Ma Yue laugh.
"Uncle, why did you leave home?"
Looking at Ma Chao, who was eating into a little flower cat, Ma Yue stretched out his hand to rub Ma Chao's yellow hair, and said gently: "Because your father wants to be a thief in Longxian, I will also go to Longxian to be a soldier." β
"How far is Longxian? I've never been. β
"It's not far, it's only more than 50 miles away from Zhangshan Village, and if you want to come back, you can run a round trip a day on a fast horse."
"What is a thief? Is it better than Qiangfu? β
"The thief Cao is a good person who catches the bad guys, and the place is bigger than the place that Qiang Fu manages."
"So what is the uncle going to do? Will Uncle be a general? β
"Uncle is going to kill the horse thief, kill the horse thief, and the uncle will buy you a brocade robe to wear."
"Brocade robe, my nephew hasn't worn a brocade robe yet, uncle, have you worn a brocade robe?"
Ma Yue smiled dumbly, looking at Ma Chao, who was dressed in the same cloth as himself, he felt sad for a while, gritted his teeth and didn't let the tears run out of his eyes, looked at the naΓ―ve Ma Chao and smiled: "The brocade robe is warm, and it looks good, wait for Uncle to buy it for you." β
As the sun sets, the village gradually falls into darkness, and only the fire around which everyone is sitting seems brighter. After eating and drinking, Xiao Ma Chao fell asleep with his younger brother Ma Xiu Ma Dai, and Ma Yue sat by the fire and gnawed on the leg of mutton, thinking about how to make the family live better. In the past two years, Ma Teng Ma Zong has relied on his strength to go up the mountain to hunt and work hard to support this family, but it has only suffered for the children.
There are also two sisters-in-law, although the Han style of the Western Liang and Northern Lands is not as strong as the Central Plains, but the two sisters-in-law did not even have a satin dress to make Ma Yue feel ashamed.
In the past two years, the Ma family has not had no money to spare, but the family has a group of more than 40 people, and most of it has been spent to meet the basic needs of survival, and the clothes of three or five thousand yuan are too luxurious for the rest of the money.
Money, money, money, Ma Yue caressed the five-inch scar on his chest, his mind was almost occupied by money, how to accumulate as much wealth as possible in the fastest time has become a heavy burden on Ma Yue's heart at the moment.
He has decided that once he has gained a foothold in Xiliang, he will form a caravan to circulate the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and build his own cattle and horse farms for grazing, the Hexi Corridor in the late Han Dynasty can be different from the desert Gobi in the future, this era of Xiliang can be described as rich in water and grass, can domesticate the land of Xiliang horses that are rampant in the world, this land is the greatest wealth. What's more, there are so many Qinhu men under their command, they know the way home.
It's just that this fucking Liangzhou is really fucking cold.
Adding another handful of firewood to the fire, Ma Yue put the animal skin blanket on his body on Ma Chao and Ma Xiu, and got up to move his muscles. It was already late at night, and he planned to go to Guan Yu Pengtuo, who was not far away, to talk to them about his future plans.
"Uncle, I want a brocade robe too."
He was about to leave, but when he turned around, he heard the dream of the nine-year-old Ma Xiu, which made Ma Yue stop.
It has always been because of Ma Chao's famous name in history that Ma Yue loves him very much, this child was born to Ma Teng's concubine and was not loved by his parents, whether he taught martial arts or took care of him on weekdays, he unconsciously had a lot of favoritism towards Ma Chao, and Ma Xiu's uncle called him guilty.
The palms and backs of his hands, after all, are his own nephews, and his uncle has done something wrong.
In fact, in the final analysis, the two nephews are still children, Ma Teng and his wife do not like Ma Chao may also have his reasons, Ma Yue lost his father when he was young, Ma Teng was only sixteen years old, the brother and sister-in-law raised Ma Zong Ma Yue to the age, Ma Yue's young body is the soul of an adult, in the eyes of the brother and sister-in-law, he is naturally sensible and old, and at the age of twelve, he carried a firewood knife into the mountains to collect firewood to subsidize the family.
Twelve years old, Ma Chao is now twelve years old, in recent years, the situation at home has gradually improved, human life is no longer as thin as paper, there is no need for him to fight with beasts, with stability and naturally less experience, today's Ma Chao is still a child's mentality after all. This is understandable in Ma Yue's heart, but Ma Teng doesn't like it, his own brother was able to survive independently at the same age, but his son is still playing with wooden guns at home all day long, and it is strange that his father's heart can be comfortable.
Thinking through these details, Ma Yue decided that after a while, he had the right opportunity to talk to his eldest brother, after all, this father and son are always like this, and it is inevitable that there will be estrangement in the future.
Leaned down and kissed Pony Hugh's smooth forehead, put his little arm with the animal skin blanket outstretched, and sighed softly.
"In the future, everyone in my Ma family will have endless silk and satin."
Only then did he take a big step towards Guan Yu Peng.
"San Lang, why don't you sleep?"
Before Ma Yue approached, Guan Yu and the others turned around when they noticed that there was movement, and when they saw that Ma Yue was coming, they raised the wine bowl and smiled at him: "San Lang hasn't slept at this time, could it be that he thinks about Miss Pei during the day?" Guan Yu was joking, but suddenly thought of something, and touched his head with his big hand: "San Lang is over sixteen years old now, and it is the carelessness of the Ma family brothers, tomorrow I will say that I will teach you with the Ma family brothers another day, and the eldest brother will tell you a family affair." β
Ma Yue waved his hand again and again when he heard this, and his family was like his head tied to his belt in Liangzhou, and he couldn't stand anywhere to marry a wife and have children, "Don't do it, San Lang still feels comfortable alone, but Brother Guan, what are you talking about with Brother Peng, look at the two of you." β
Guan Yu smiled when he heard this: "Just now Peng Tuo chatted with me, and when it came to the cattle and sheep in Dong Zhuo's house in the state assassin Shi Dong Zhuo were eaten, that Qiang Shuai sent thousands of cattle and sheep, I just thought, when I can be as majestic as Dong Zhuo." β
As soon as Guan Yufang talked about Dong Zhuo, Ma Yue's heart jumped, and he said: "Brother Peng, that Dong Zhuo... What kind of people are they? β
As soon as Peng Tuo mentioned Dong Zhuo, his eyebrows fluttered: "Dong Zhuo is righteous and heroic, and he treats his friends with great righteousness, and everyone is willing to be friends with people like him!" β
Hearing Peng Tuo comment on Dong Zhuo like this, Ma Yue felt very uncomfortable, Dong Zhuo in history was full of evil, but he was so popular in Liangzhou. Ma Yue suddenly lost his spirit, he didn't know how much truth history had buried, and his future suddenly became blurred.
I heard Guan Yu say: "In the future, San Lang will herd horses under the Thorn History Sect, and you need to take care of yourself carefully." β
Ma Yue said with a smile: "I'm here for this, when the ranch is built, I hope that the two brothers and San Lang will go to help a certain arm, San Lang originally wanted to ask for an official position for the two brothers in front of Lord Assassin Shi, after all, it is still too selfish, what material San Lang is now, the brothers also know it, it is too early to take charge alone, so I also hope that the two brothers can help me by my side." β
