Chapter 5 Aunts and cousins, generations of relatives

There were too many things to experience this day, and Ma Cheng's head was injured, so he slept from the afternoon until dawn the next day, and he didn't get up to eat dinner.

The next day, Ma Cheng finally rested and got up at three poles in the morning.

Ma Cheng just opened his eyes and didn't react, and only after looking at the surrounding furnishings did he remember that he had crossed over, Ma Cheng sighed before getting up and getting dressed.

There was a sound in the inner room, and Gu San, who was waiting in the outhouse, opened the door and walked in, and when he saw Ma Cheng getting up, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Second Master is up?" ”

Ma Cheng nodded and got up to get dressed, but the clothes of the Ming Dynasty were completely different from those of later generations, Ma Cheng didn't put on his coat for a long time, Gu San saw this situation and hurriedly came over to help Ma Cheng get dressed.

Ma Cheng is also the second day of crossing over today, except for yesterday when his cheap old lady came to see him with a group of maids, there is no woman around, Ma Cheng is very curious, not to mention that the ancient big families are all groups of maids and maids, and the old man and young master will pull it into the house when he sees it? Why don't you even have a maid ring by your side today? Do you want Gu San, a stupid idiot, to help get dressed?

"Gu San, why are you alone? Isn't there a maid ring under the people? Ma Cheng asked the question in his heart.

Gu San looked up and said after putting on Ma Cheng's clothes: "Second master, have you forgotten?" That's what the old lady meant! After Gu San finished speaking, he thought that Ma Cheng's head was hit yesterday, and the doctor said that his memory was somewhat missing.

"By the way, the villain forgot about the second master's injury!"

Gu San patted his forehead and said, "Second Master, yesterday the villain told you about the family history of the Ma family and the Gu family, and the second master knows that the old man and the old lady are cousins!" ”

This Ma Cheng remembers that his cheap father Ma Shiying and his mother Gu are cousins, Ma Cheng's grandmother is also his aunt, and Ma Cheng's grandfather is also his uncle and grandfather. However, this kind of intimacy is permitted by the law of the Ming Dynasty, which stipulates that the same surname cannot be married, but cousins can, and it is also advocated by the people.

Gu San continued: "The commander of Guizhou Wei makes Master Gu your own uncle of the second master, and Master Gu has a concubine, the Gu family, who will be promised to our Ma family according to the old lady's wishes." But the Gu family is too young, and the uncle Ma Luan married the daughter of the Zhang family in eastern Zhejiang a few years ago, so the old lady wants to marry Miss Gu to you! The old lady is Miss Gu's aunt, so she naturally doesn't want her niece to suffer, so the second master is eighteen years old this year, and there is no one else around! ”

Gu San said this, Ma Cheng understood, it turned out that he had already decided that the baby was married, that is, the daughter of his own uncle was going to marry him, so the old lady did not prepare a ring for herself.

Ma Cheng thought for a moment that his father and mother were originally cousins, and now they have to marry their cousins, the probability of this next generation of deformities has greatly increased! That's not going to work!

Ma Cheng stood up and said, "No, I'm going to go to my mother and tell me, this cousin can't have it!" ”

Ma Cheng was just about to go out when he was stopped by Gu San, and Gu San whispered: "Oh, my lord, don't go, you can't regret what the lord and lady have set!" This is unfilial! In addition, Miss Gu's dowry has been ordered, second master, you want to regret your marriage, Miss Gu can only jump off the building! ”

Ma Cheng is right when he thinks about it, the Ming Dynasty and the later generations are different, the later generations pay attention to free love, but the Ming Dynasty pays attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, if the marriage set by the parents you want to oppose it, but it is really unfilial! Unfilial piety was one of the ten evils in the Ming Dynasty, which could make Ma Cheng fall to the lowest level of society. Ma Cheng still has to save the country and save the people and do a great cause, where can such a big mistake be made! There was no way, Ma Cheng had to go back to the house and sit down again.

Gu San used to be the slave of the Gu family, but now he is the slave of the Ma family, he has been tied to Ma Cheng's fate, and Ma Cheng is unlucky and he can't run. Now seeing that Ma Cheng could listen to his own persuasion and sit down again, Gu San couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Second master, don't worry, Miss Gu is very knowledgeable and virtuous, and she will definitely not make the second master ugly!"

Gu San also thought that Ma Cheng wanted to regret his marriage because he was afraid that Miss Gu would be a tigress like the old lady, so he said this to comfort Ma Cheng. But Ma Cheng is there because of this, he is afraid that his next generation is a deformed child.

Ma Cheng thought for a while and asked, "Gu San, how old is Miss Gu this year?" "It is very rude to ask the young lady who has not left the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, but Gu San has now left the Gu family and become the slave of the Ma family, so there is nothing taboo.

"Third Master, Miss Gu just turned fourteen years old this year, and she will be out of the cabinet next year, and Hou Ye Gu plans to send Miss Gu to marry the third master next year!" Gu San used to be a house slave of the Gu family, so he naturally knew the details of Miss Gu's little master.

It will only be delivered next year, which is not bad, and there is still time. Ma Cheng's idea is that Nanming will die next year, and who can take care of getting married when the war is in chaos, so Ma Cheng estimates that this marriage will be hanging.

Ma Cheng put his mind at ease and remembered that Gu San said that Miss Gu was only fourteen years old, and she would only be fifteen years old next year, which is the age of a junior high school student in the later life.

Ma Cheng was not a good man or a woman in later generations, and he earned seven or eight thousand yuan a month by sending express delivery, half of which was given to those kiln sisters. However, Ma Cheng's identity can only go to those lowest-grade shampoo rooms, a hundred handful, three hundred overnight, and fifty oral work are the levels that Ma Cheng can consume.

As for the junior high school students on the street who pinch a bag of water, Ma Cheng really hasn't played, but he saw on the news that some officials like to find junior high school students to accompany him when they drink, and Ma Cheng scolded these officials for being shameless, but he was secretly envious and jealous in his heart. Now that a fifteen-year-old junior high school student is in front of him, Ma Cheng hesitates in his heart whether to agree to come down and take a bite?

After hesitating for a long time in terms of morality and reason, Ma Cheng asked, "Gu San, have you seen Miss Gu?" Is it good-looking? ”

"Second master, it's been five or six years since the villain came to Ma's house, and now Miss Gu doesn't know what she looks like, but she was a beauty back then."

Ma Cheng hesitated when he heard Gu San say this, should he be a beast or a beast? In the end, it is desire that defeats morality and reason, what close relatives, minors, play first and then talk.

Ma Cheng made up his mind and relaxed in his heart, plus he didn't eat yesterday afternoon, and he was really hungry: "Gu San, the second master is hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”

Now the hour is almost noon, and the breakfast time of Mafu has already passed, but Ma Cheng is the son of the Ma family, and if he wants to eat, he naturally has a small kitchen to make and send it.

Gu San went out to spread the word that the second master wanted to eat, and after a while, a family member brought food. Ma Cheng saw that what he sent was a small pot of fragrant rice porridge, as well as a drawer of steamed buns, plus four small pickles such as four kinds of sauce and fresh lotus root slices. Ma Cheng smelled the smell of the food, and his index finger moved, and he took a bun first and was about to start eating.

The family member who delivered the meal hurriedly said: "Second master, be careful, this is a crab roe soup dumpling, and the soup in it is very hot!" ”

Ma Cheng heard him say this and quickly took a small bite slowly, and the soup in the bun flowed into Ma Cheng's mouth, which was really fresh and fragrant! Ma Cheng was in a good mood, and he didn't eat last night, and a gust of wind swept away the soup and fragrant rice porridge. Although the meals of the Ming Dynasty did not have as many seasonings and seasonings as in later generations, they were better than later generations in terms of ingredients, so Ma Cheng was very satisfied with this meal.

Ma Cheng nodded, touched his stomach and said, "Yes, take it!" When the family heard Ma Cheng say this, they quickly packed up the dishes and chopsticks and retreated.
