In Yanwang's Mansion, Ma Dajun drank until late at night before leaving, and kept muttering when he left.

"The amount of alcohol that King Yan drinks now is really not as good as it was back then"

Ma Dajun, who was not happy, returned to his mansion in Nanjing with a drunken smell.

It is also located on Chang'an Street, but unlike the surrounding circle of Wuxun's wealthy mansions, Ma Dajun's Guogong Mansion is very simple, one reason is that his own base camp has been in Kunming all these years, and Nanjing is not too concerned about repairs, and secondly, Ma Dajun's daughter-in-law in Nanjing is not as swaggering as his wife in Kunming, which is very low-key.

Even if his wife in Kunming had moved to Nanjing from Kunming with several other concubines a few years ago, there was not much room for expansion in this mansion, so he simply didn't bother to move.

There are only a dozen people in a family, and they can live in it.

After crossing the courtyard a few times, Ma Dajun entered his study and shouted at his guard battalion, saying that it was a study, and there were not many books, all of which were all kinds of armor, blades and a few polished handguns.

"Go, call my daughter."

Drinking two large sips of strong tea and slowly breathing the wine in his mouth, Ma Dajun caught a glimpse of the unspeakable guard camp standing on the side, and his brows frowned: "What are you doing in a daze, go." ”

"That, Ma Shuai, it's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

The guard's excuse made Ma Dajun keenly aware of the slightest mistake, and his face instantly turned cold: "Is she not at home?" ”

As soon as he returned to Quanzhou, he sent someone to Nanjing to pass on the family letter, and at that time he also said that his daughter had just returned from Beijing, that is, after he entered the city, although he did not go home, he also listened to the family's guards, saying that his daughter was wandering outside and did not leave Nanjing.

Who would have thought that it was the middle of the night, and a big girl with yellow flowers could still be wild outside.

"Bastard!"

Even if the guard didn't reply, Ma Dajun could guess a general outline, and slapped the table: "Go, get someone back for me, a girl, it's almost time to be outside, do you still want face." ”

Seeing that Ma Dajun was angry, the guards were frightened and hurriedly responded and ran out.

didn't let Ma Dajun wait long, and before half of the wine in his mouth was released, the guard turned back, followed by a girl who was dizzy and reluctant to drink.

In addition to Ma Dajun's daughter Ma Ling, who else could it be.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and they were all happy.

"Okay, you bastard."

Ma Dajun really laughed angrily, and pointed at Ma Ling's nose: "Lao Tzu is drinking outside, you are also drinking outside, I haven't cared about you for a few years, look at you now, do you still have a girl's family." ”

Don't look at the previous anger, I haven't seen my own girl for a few years, if you want to say that you don't want it to be nonsense, even if Ma Dajun was angry just now, it disappeared in an instant, and there was no taste of criticism in his mouth.

"It's not that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked."

Ma Ling had a hippie smile on her face, went around the back of Ma Dajun, put her two jade hands on her shoulders, and pressed them flatteringly: "Dad, your class is triumphant, and you don't tell your family about the day in advance, if you know, I have to call my mother and those aunts and brothers to pick you up outside the city."

I have to drink this wine with you tonight. ”

"."

Ma Dajun shook his shoulders, shook his daughter's hands, and pointed to the open space in front of the table: "Punish Lao Tzu to stand up, who is smiling with you, you still seem to be nothing, Lao Tzu has heard of it, you muddy girl, you have been drinking with a large group of old men every day these days, what is this called, you are not ashamed of your mother?" ”

"This girl is not eating and drinking, I eat and drink out of my own pocket, what's the shame?"

Mo Mo Chirped and walked to Ma Dajun's table and stood honestly, Ma Ling's mouth was still very angry: "The wine jar didn't say that only men are allowed to drink and women are not allowed to drink, what's wrong with me eating and drinking, it's not a bully meal." ”

Eat well, drink wine, and stay out for a few months.

Ma Dajun looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why did I give birth to such a girl as you." ”

As the old saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes.

The breed of his old horse can be said to have followed him to his bones.

I can't pick it up, it's very muddy.

"Well, you don't have much to do anyway, I have a family for you for my father, and after I go to Beijing to report on my work, you will pass the court."

Ma Ling, who was flushed with alcohol, was dumbfounded.

Her biggest fear was that it had happened.

Almost subconsciously, Ma Ling blurted out: "I don't agree!" ”

"Don't you even ask which one Lao Tzu has set for you?"

"I don't care which onion he is." Ma Ling didn't stand anymore, took a chair and sat opposite Ma Dajun, stalking her neck: "Anyway, I just won't marry, no one will marry." ”

This made Ma Dajun angry, and scolded as soon as he slapped the table: "You really fucking take yourself as a treasure, let me tell you, I will give you Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson of King Yan, you have to recognize this family, and you have to recognize it if you don't recognize it." ”

"Why!"

With a bang, Ma Ling got up angrily and brought down the chair behind her.

"Why do you say that you will marry whoever you want, then I haven't even seen it, why don't you marry him.

I know, you used to talk to your family all the time, saying that King Yan is affectionate with you, and you can't repay anything, you can't repay it, so you can take your own daughter to repay it, right, do you have a father like you. ”

Seeing his daughter choking back against him, Ma Dajun's face was a little unbearable, and he snorted coldly: "The words of the matchmaker of the parents, Lao Tzu chose a good husband for you, isn't this enough?" Hasn't it been enough to keep you crazy for so many years? ”

"I don't want it!"

Xu is really angry, or it may be that the anger becomes more difficult to control under the stimulation of alcohol, Ma Ling's voice is not light, and half of your mansion is lit up.

"I don't need you to pick a good husband for me, I have hands and feet, I'm an adult, I can support myself by myself, even if I leave you in the past few years, I am herding horses and cattle for others in Moting, and even protecting people for hunting, I already have the ability to support myself and survive independently."

"Independence?"

As if hearing the funniest joke in the world, Ma Dajun raised his neck and laughed a few times, and this laughter also calmed Ma Ling.

It wasn't until the laughter dissipated that Ma Dajun said with a serious face, with extremely clear words and pronunciation.

"Since I led the army to fight, you have not touched the family all these years, I know what you are thinking, you want to get rid of the fate of a woman who can't make the decision when she marries, this is what your mother told me, she told me, you want to get rid of me, get rid of this family, and pursue your bullshit freedom, independence and individuality.

But have you ever thought that if it weren't for what I, as a father, have done in the last twenty years of your life, would you still have the opportunity to talk to me today about freedom, independence, and the individuality you want to pursue?

You don't even have the right to know what freedom is! What is independence! What is personality!

What is Freedom? The freedom you want is to be able to see the grassland, the desert, the sea, and the mountains, and you are qualified to see it without me? Even if you are an orphan and your legs are long on your body, you can go, do you dare to go as a little girl! Your current freedom is based on a dozen personal guards, and the order given to you by Lao Tzu that you can mobilize an army of no more than 1,000 people at any time!

What is Independence? You can raise horses and graze in the desert court, hunt and fish, collect and sell the treasures of the north and south of the world and sell them for a profit, and put them into your own pocket, is this called independence? It's because you have the existence of me, Lao Tzu, and all the local forces in this country and society are making way for you, making it easier and getting twice the result with half the effort, otherwise, the countless horse bandits in Moting would have eaten you alive a long time ago!

As for personality, heh, what a worthless word, can you still have the face to talk about in front of me?

In the past 20 years, your father and I were busy with the battle formation, why did you ever ask you to do something? Have I made you proficient in poetry and song? Let you go to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learn female red embroidery? How have I ever stopped you!

You say you want to learn archery, I invited you to be a marksman in the first class of the three armies, you want to learn to ride a horse, I will find you the best rider and horse master in the prairie.

What else does it take for me, a father, to concede to you? ”

Hun is just the appearance of Ma Dajun, since that inspection, reading has become a new course in Ma Dajun's life, otherwise, he would never be able to say this today, and he would have slapped his daughter in the face, instead of reasoning with his children so calmly for the first time here.

But even though Ma Dajun felt that he was already very restrained, these words were still harsh in Ma Ling's ears.

"Dad, I'm old now, even without your honorable status, I can still live, I don't need your help anymore, do you understand?"

"Hahahaha."

Ma Dajun laughed, laughed and shouted angrily outside the door: "Listen to whatever you listen to, get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

The shadowy figure outside the door suddenly ran away.

"You say you don't need my help? But when did you actually live without my help, how could you really not need my help!

You try to think about your life in the past 20 years, you are the envy of many people in the world, you are the lord of Panshui, leading the second grade, when you enter the palace every year during the New Year, you can hear the queen's two words of concern at close range, how many envious eyes look at you, so that your vanity is greatly satisfied.

When you go out and get into the carriage, enjoy the comfortable and convenient passage that the wind does not blow and the rain does not blow, and see the poor peasants and peasants outside the window who endure the wind and cold for their work, how have you ever left the carriage to live that kind of life with them?

If you don't, you will say the opposite, you have to work hard, if you don't work hard, you can't progress, you deserve to starve and freeze, if you attribute this to your own so-called independence and self-improvement in the past few years, it is simply the biggest joke in the world.

Because you have been enjoying the countless vested interests that my father has brought you, but you have turned around and talked to me arrogantly and shamelessly about your independence, what you stand alone, and what you use to be independent.

When you leave this home, penniless, shoulder-to-shoulder, and hand-to-hand, you can still rely on the righteous means of seeing the light to earn even a steamed bun money, you are coming to talk to me about independence.

When you don't rely on a woman's own capital, only through labor and struggle, you can continue to maintain your current life, you are coming to talk to me about personality.

If you can't do it, don't say it in such a big way, because you're not qualified.

You have enjoyed everything that my father has brought to you since birth, and you have enjoyed peace of mind, so you must make corresponding contributions for this family, instead of just blindly taking, and then continue to reach out to me for freedom and power in an insatiable and excessive manner.

I can give you the power, but the power is the corresponding responsibility, have you made any credit for this family? Have you taken on any part of the family's responsibilities?

Or do you say that your father and I have been fighting for decades, and you have killed the enemy, conquered the city, and destroyed the country for me?

You are useless, there is nothing I can take out my hand to go to other people's houses to boast about you, King Yan said to me, said that the young master of Nanjing City is looking forward to marrying you, but what do people want you?

Are you beautiful, splendid Jinling City, hundreds of green buildings and elegant houses, which singer is not born as beautiful as a flower, and the country is captivated.

Or can you ride a horse, drink, and step on the table to shake the dice with a group of old men!

All they want is your identity, all they want is to marry you as my son-in-law! ”

This is already quite ugly, Rao is Ma Ling is stronger than ordinary women, and she can't cry silently.

"Cry what cry!"

This aggrieved gesture made Ma Dajun even more angry: "You are still wronged, what's the matter, Lao Tzu's words are ugly, and you can't get into your ears?"

Good guy, you have lived well enough in the past 20 years, can't you stand it and scold?

You go out and feel that this society is a hundred times meaner and more cruel than the words that Lao Tzu scolded you today! ”

Speaking of this, Ma Dajun drank two cups of tea in silence and slowly exhaled a breath.

"Back then, your father and I rushed to Hanoi, thousands of miles of dense forests, poisonous snakes and insects. Hungry to eat rats and ants, thirsty for blood and urine, only to see the first populated village. In the end, he broke into the palace and did not die with a hundred blades.

Seize Shunzhou at night, stand in the narrow city gate hole in order to seize the door, let the arrows gather the body, one eye was also shot blind at that time, I pulled out the arrow, and the battle was determined.

I don't say this to pour bitter water in front of you and pull sympathy. But I want to tell you that any father who has suffered and suffered does not want his children to try again, and a large part of my struggle is because of you and your younger brothers.

Feng Wife Yinzi, he is the only driving force for a martial artist to realize the value of his life in this life. ”

There was silence in the study, and after this long ordeal, under Ma Dajun's expectant gaze, Ma Ling's reaction surprised Ma Dajun.

I saw Ma Ling suddenly pick up a short hammer on the wall and aim it at her jaw.

"What are you going to do!"

Ma Dajun was almost crazy, his face was pale with fright, and his hands were open and stiff: "Put down, let go!" ”

"No!" Ma Ling's face was full of tears, but she was very firm: "Dad, my daughter is not filial, but my daughter is really unwilling to marry a completely strange man, if you are forced to do so, I can only die and return this life to you." ”

"Don't marry, don't marry."

For fear that his daughter's brain would not be able to turn around after drinking, Ma Dajun had to admit it first: "Let's not get married, do you put down the gun first, go back to the room to rest, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

"There's nothing more to say about this."

Ma Ling held the gun, kept her fingers on the trigger, retreated to the threshold step by step, opened the door, and ran out suddenly.

There was a 'snap' and the gun fell to the ground.

Ma Dajun planned to chase after him quickly, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he stopped.

Under the moonlight, looking at Ma Ling's disappearing back, he sighed heavily.

Silently picking up the gun on the ground, Ma Dajun aimed at the sky above his head.

'Bang'!

He hadn't been back for years, but there were loaded bullets in the gun at home.

Don't think about it, it must have been done by Ma Ling, she had already been prepared, and what she was waiting for was to die on this day.

And her fierce resistance was not caused by alcohol.

Looking at the helpless guards not far away, Ma Dajun sighed again.

"Send all the blades and muskets in the palace to the yamen of the Nanjing Mansion, and never allow them to be used again in the future."

"Yes."

Also on this night, Zhu Wenqi, who was asleep, was woken up by a rapid knock on the door, and walked over to open the door in a daze, and saw Ma Ling with tears on his face, and heard the latter's words that made him sober up instantly.

"Let's get married."
