He has very few friends, except for his cousin, probably only a girl named Zijin in his hometown.

I remember that in those years, he and his cousin often went up to the mountains to hunt hares, and there would always be a dirty girl herding sheep in the mountains.

I don't know if the girl is curious about their hunting, or coveted the food that Zijin often brings her, and the girl will always follow them secretly.

Later, they became good friends, and every day they played together in the mountains and hunted.

Lying together on the hillside, looking up and counting the white clouds.

Ma Wannian didn't like to talk since he was a child, so Zipei and Zijin just lay on the uphill with him, silently counting the white clouds in their hearts and listening to the birds singing and the cicadas.

"Little sister, I didn't know your name all along."

"I, I...... No name. ”

In country homes, boys mostly use the family ranking as their name.

As for the girl, even if she has a name, she will call it casually, maybe this girl doesn't like such random names.

"My name is Qin Zipei, we are the best sisters, since you don't have a name, then I'll call you Zijin."

The girl looked at it fixedly and did not answer, but Qin Zijin had a sense of accomplishment in the name she had given her.

"Qingqingzijin is leisurely my heart, Qingqingzipei, leisurely I think.

Hehe, in this way, we are more like sisters. ”

"Sisters?" The girl was a little afraid to think about it, after all, this cousin and brother who can be literate and martial arts are too extraordinary, how can she be worthy?

"Yes, you don't have sisters at home, and I don't have sisters, isn't that providential? Xiao Nian, don't you say? ”

Ma Wannian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, but his eyes were very bright.

Qin Zijin clapped his hands brightly: "Okay, since the will of heaven has made us fall in love like this, isn't it just right to be a pair of Jinlan with different surnames?" The words of the same heart, its smell is like an orchid, oh, by the way, there is also a small year, the three of us together. ”

The girl was not overjoyed when she heard this, but lowered her eyes in discouragement, clutched the corners of her crumpled clothes with both hands, and said with trembling lips:

"It smells like an orchid, it's Sister Qin, not me."

"Are you so unconfident? My aunt and grandmother once said that if the heart is unwavering, this is the orchid.

Find a confidant of Youlan, and hope that in the future, no matter how far in the world, we will not forget each other. ”

"Will they be separated?" Zijin looked surprised.

"Of course it will, I and Xiao Nian were born as generals.

In the future, we will definitely go into battle in armor like my father and fight for the Ming Dynasty, and our conquest, in addition to the ancestral motto of my Qin family for a hundred years, 'Hold a fight to defend the community', is also to protect people like you. ”

Qin Zipei is breezy and light, and he seems to have known his mission and destiny in this life at a young age.

"Are you going to go into battle to kill the enemy? My dad went to war a year ago, but he hasn't heard from him yet. ”

Zijin's expression couldn't hide her worry about them, she was worried about their safety, and she was afraid of being separated from them.

I didn't expect the separation of good friends to come so quickly.

It didn't take long to get the news that Zijin's father had died on the battlefield with Qin Minping.

Zijin's mother became ill and died soon after.

After Zijin's mother died, Qin Liangyu gave him a place to bury bones and a good coffin.

Zijin's father's pension was smuggled by her aunt, and soon after Zijin's mother's death, she sold Xiaozijin to Yapo.

When he first learned that Zijin's aunt had bullied Zijin's mother and embezzled her family's pension, Qin Zipei also went to Qin Liangyu to complain.

Qin Liangyu said patiently to Qin Zijin: "We are the gatekeepers, so we must be careful not to meddle in local affairs."

Local affairs should not be in our hands, and we should have our own government to do it.

If you and Zijin are on good terms, then her father's pension is gone, and her aunt and grandmother can still give her family one more share. ”

Just when Zijin was given an extra child pension, the people who went found out that her mother was sick.

Zijin's mother was suffering from heart disease, and even the medicinal stones in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion did not help her condition.

Not long after, she died, and then Zijin's aunt sold her.

Hearing Aunt Zijin's actions really made Qin Liangyu very angry.

Zijin's father was her soldier, and after he died in battle, Zijin was the orphan of the soldier, and Qin Liangyu couldn't ignore this matter.

She severely punished Zijin's aunt and caught the tooth woman.

But Ya Po has already sold Zijin to other places, and it is no longer under the jurisdiction of Qin Liangyu, and it is no longer even the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

When the people sent by Qin Liangyu found Zijin a few years later, Zijin was already in a green building in Pingkangli, Chongqing.

When Ma Wannian and Qin Zipei arrived there in disguise and saw Zijin, Zijin was no longer the dirty shepherdesss she had been.

She is already a very outstanding beauty.

But they can no longer find the innocent girl who silently counted the clouds in the blue sky with them and sang with the birds.

If you change to the past, as the Ming Dynasty Shangzhu State, the governor of the Chinese army, and the grandson of the prince Taibao; The general of the dart banner commanded the son of Ma Xianglin, and Ma Wannian had a hundred ways to save Zijin from the sea of suffering.

But at this time, Chongqing Mansion had fallen into the hands of the Qing army from Zhang Xianzhong's hands.

That Zijin is now an official prostitute with the Qing court and state government as a backer.

Even Qin Liangyu couldn't reach out to Chongqing.

Of course, Ma Wannian can rob people, but he can do it, but he can't do it.

Because he not only represents himself, but also represents the Ma family.

If the son of the Ma family goes to the Qinglou in Chongqing to rob a woman, it will disgrace the entire Ma family, and it will also discredit the Ming Dynasty.

Zijin's appearance stands out, because the bustard has been keeping her body and waiting for the price.

Ma Wannian and Qin Zipei want to redeem her, even if the old bustard lion opens his mouth.

But the old bustard just doesn't have such a mouth, she can see Ma Wannian's thoughts, and she can also see that Ma Wannian is a wealthy son.

He deliberately asked Ma Wannian to sprinkle more gold and silver on Zijin's body.

Since then, in this green building in Pingkangli, a handsome man in black often appears to go to the residence of the girl.

And the Qing official Zijin, who has never broken the melon, has only had Ma Wannian as a guest since he was listed.

Ma Wannian is just an ignorant big boy, he has a hazy love for Zijin, and more of it is the inseparable affection in his childhood memories.

He was reluctant to be trampled by the visitors in the Qinglou, thinking that as long as his money supported the old bustard, the old bustard would naturally agree to redeem him for Zijin.

However, with an edict from the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, all the clansmen of the Ma family and the Qin family were about to rush to Guangxi.

And Ma Wannian has not yet redeemed himself for Zijin.
