Chapter 347: Three Friendships
As soon as Xiao Muying saw this woman, she subconsciously opened her mouth and shouted, "Mother! ”
Mother?
As soon as the hostess of Majiazhuang turned around, she was startled by Mu Ying's heart-rending shout, and said in her heart that this has always been a garden for me to relax, and there is only one maid around, where is this child's mother?
Without waiting for her to continue to think about it, Mu Ying actually took three steps and made two steps, ran to the hostess and knelt down, crying loudly.
When the little maid saw Mu Ying messing around like this, she frowned and reprimanded: "Which child are you?" How dare you make such a joke? My young lady is not married, why is your son so big? ”
Mu Ying didn't care about the little girl's accusations at all, she just dragged the corner of the hostess's skirt and cried, and her whole body trembled slightly because she was excited.
Seeing this, the little maid was even more angry, turned her head and took a wooden strip and hit Mu Ying's back, trying to drive him out.
"Wait."
The hostess stopped the angry maid beside her, frowned lightly and looked at Mu Ying in front of her, bent down and stroked his back and said, "Male doll, what grievances do you have in your heart, why are you crying so sadly?" Just now I heard you call your mother, it's not that you recognized the wrong person, you raised your head and looked at me carefully, I am not your mother. ”
Mu Ying barely raised her head and looked at the hostess, how did she know that Mu Ying cried even more at this time, her two big eyes gushed tears like two springs, and she just wanted to speak, but she was too excited and dizzy.
The woman sighed, the straight road was not good, and hurriedly ordered the maid around her to help.
Fortunately, Mu Ying was young and thin, so the master and servant hurriedly swept aside the sundries on the stone table, and then lifted him up together and put him on it safely.
The little maid stretched out her hand uncomfortably and probed under Mu Ying's nose, and when she saw that she was still breathing, she patted her little chest and was relieved.
The hostess was extremely calm compared to the little maid, and she seemed to know medical skills, and with a probe of the green jade hand, she stopped Mu Ying's pulse.
"It's okay, this boy just held his breath for a while, and he should be able to wake up after resting for a while."
Hearing the hostess say this, the little maid's heart fell to the ground, and then her eyes turned and she glared at Zhou Dian who was standing next to the garden: "What's the matter with you stinky old man?" Did you bring this stinky boy? ”
The hostess will wave her sleeves: "Don't be rude!" ”
After being reprimanded by her, the little maid stepped back two times and stood behind her master, her lips pursed Lao Gao.
Although all this happened suddenly, Zhou Dian was extremely calm, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
Seeing that the master and servant finally noticed him, Zhou Dian took two steps forward with a dragon's head cane, and then stroked his beard and said: "Little old Zhou Dian, I heard that my best friend was newly mourned, so I came to pay tribute. ”
After the hostess heard Zhou Dian report to his home, she took a closer look at the dragon head crutch in his hand, and then immediately bowed to the ground: "It turned out that Zhou Engong was here, please forgive the younger generation for not coming away." ”
When the little maid saw her master like this, she was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly knelt down behind her, leaving only a pair of small eyes to observe Zhou Dian carefully, and said in her heart: "I heard that there is a half-immortal surnamed Zhou who is kind to our Ma family, but I only heard his name and did not see him, why did he look so ugly when I saw it today?" ”
The little maid complained about her recklessness while slandering, worried that Zhou Dianyi would blame herself.
Zhou Dian squinted and smiled when he heard this: "I heard Ma Gong and Guo Gong mention your smart niece in the letter, and when I see it today, it is really like this, hurry up!" We are all members of our own family, so we don't have to make this big gift! With that, he raised his left hand and held it up.
The horse girl saw the salute, and then stood up: "I didn't expect Uncle Zhou to come in person, but I don't know how you knew about my father's death?" ”
Zhou Dian explained: "Ma Gong and I often had correspondence before his death, how to say that since the end of last year, I suddenly cut off contact, and my several letters have been lost, so I sent another letter to the Guo family, and I learned the news of Ma Gong's unfortunate death." ”
It turned out that Guo Gong of the Guo family, Ma Gong of the Ma family, and Zhou Dian of the Zhou family were old acquaintances.
The Guo family and the Ma family already have some in-law relationships, so let's put them aside. Zhou Dian had a relief grace for Ma Gong, and he and Guo Gong regarded each other as confidants at first sight, so the three had a good relationship.
Now that Guo Gong and Ma Gong have passed away one after another, Zhou Dian can only find their descendants in order to complete the plan he has prepared for a long time.
Zhou Dian and Wang Fuzhi acted separately, Wang Fuzhi took Zhou Dian's letter to Haozhou City to meet Guo Zixing, the eldest son of Guo Gong, as planned, and Zhou Dian took Mu Ying to find Ma Gong's only daughter Ma Xiuying.
Due to the relationship between the generations and ages of the in-laws, Guo Gong is a generation older than Ma Gong, so the age difference between the two is quite large, so this Ma girl's generation and age are the youngest, and today Guo Zixing has become his elder, not to mention Zhou Dian.
Ma Xiuying often heard his father mention the mysterious head of the Zhou family, only knowing that he was used to carrying a dragon-headed cane in his hand, his whereabouts were secretive, wandering the rivers and lakes, and he was extremely casual.
After confirming her identity, Ma Xiuying pointed to Xiao Muying lying behind her: "Uncle Zhou, is this boy coming with you?" ”
Zhou Dian nodded: "Yes, this child's parents are deceased, and he is almost dying of starvation near Haozhou, when I came, I saw that he was pitiful, so I gave him some food and led him by my side." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Ying, who was lying down, snorted twice, opened her eyes and sat up.
"Crybaby, you're awake!" Ma Xiuying's little maid shouted in surprise when she saw Mu Ying wake up.
Mu Ying wiped his face, rubbed his eyes vigorously, a pair of big eyes just stared at Ma Xiuying, and before Zhou Dian could talk to Ma Xiuying, he cried to himself again.
Seeing that he ignored him, the little maid snorted dissatisfiedly: "What a crybaby!" ”
Ma Xiuying also felt strange, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Zhou, isn't this child frightened, why does he keep crying?" I still heard him call his mother directly, is it because he misses his mother too much? ”
Zhou Dian first shook his head in denial, then sighed, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for what I saw today, I wouldn't have seen such a coincidence. ”
Ma Xiuying and the little maid both heard it in a fog, and said in their hearts that this Zhou Engong didn't understand how to speak, just playing dumb riddles here.
Zhou Dian saw that he attracted their thoughts, so he explained: "When I saw this little guy, his mother had just passed away and was lying next to him, so I had to see his mother's face, and his mother looked exactly like you!" ”
