Chapter 6 Aunt Zheng
Ma Cheng was full of food and drink and began to look at the courtyard where he lived, he just crossed over yesterday and was in a hurry, plus he had a headache, and he could still take care of this. Okay today, things are already like this, Ma Cheng will accept his fate, what to do in the future, let's take care of the present.
Ma Cheng walked out of his house, and there was a tea room outside, about five or six square meters in size, and there was nothing inside. Gu San saw that Ma Cheng was about to ask what this small house was for, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Second master, this is a tea room, there is a maid ring on duty at night, serving the master to drink water at night!" ”
Ma Cheng nodded, he was now guarding that Miss Gu like a jade, and naturally there was no one on duty at night in this teahouse.
There is only one screen blocking the tea room and the hall, and around the screen is the hall, which is actually a room with four chairs and a table of eight immortals, which is used to entertain guests.
Ma Cheng walked through the hall to the West House, according to the layout of the Ming Dynasty house, the main house sits in the north and faces south, the east bedroom is the master and his wife, and the west is the minor children live. However, Ma Cheng does not have a wife, let alone children, so the Westinghouse is arranged as a study. However, Ma Cheng looked at the dust on the desk, this study has probably not been visited for a long time.
Ma Cheng walked out of the main house, and outside was a small courtyard covering an area of more than 100 square meters, and a camphor tree was planted in the middle of the yard. It is now April of the lunar calendar, and although it is the Xiaoice River period, the trees have already sprouted in the Yangtze River basin. The breeze blows through the leaves of the camphor tree, and a burst of fragrance comes over, which makes people smell really refreshing.
On the west side of the courtyard was a wing room with an open door that looked like it was inhabited.
"Gu San, who lives here?"
"Second master, it's a villain! The villain is the second master's long-term follower, so he naturally has to follow the second master to serve! ”
It turned out that there were two stinky men in his yard, Ma Cheng sighed, looked at the east side of the yard, there was a row of weapon racks, on which were knives and guns and other weapons, and there was a stone barbell on the ground, which seemed to be used by Gu Sanjian.
Gu San looked at Ma Cheng observing those weapons, and hurriedly smiled: "Second master, the little one used to fight all year round, and he felt uncomfortable when he was free, so he brought the weapons at home for peacetime training, and the second master also agreed at that time!" ”
Gu San hurriedly added that you also agreed at that time, for fear that Ma Cheng would regret it. However, Ma Cheng is now a traverser, and he knows that there will be more wars in the future, and there is still a safety guarantee for someone who knows how to martial arts.
Ma Cheng nodded and didn't say anything, just looked at the sky, today is a sunny day, plus the climate is not cold, it is suitable for going out for a walk.
"Gu San, the second master is going out today, you go out with me!"
Gu San was a slave who dared to oppose his master, and when he heard Ma Cheng say this, he quickly opened the courtyard door. Ma Cheng came to the door and looked, there was a small alley outside the door, and the courtyard wall opposite was very low, only half a person high, and it was full of bamboo.
Fengyang is here in the north, but now it is full of bamboo, which really makes Ma Cheng different, Ma Cheng pointed to the bamboo forest and asked, "Who is this yard opposite?" Can you grow bamboo in this place? ”
Gu San heard Ma Cheng say this, and hurriedly whispered: "Second master, the courtyard in front is the uncle's home, and this bamboo forest is also planted by the young grandmother, saying that it is the same as the Ningbo family!" Second master, you know that the eldest and youngest grandmothers are noble, and the eldest and youngest grandmothers are also spoiled, so no one in the governor's mansion dares to make the eldest and younger grandmothers angry! ”
I didn't expect that sister-in-law Zhang still had such a young lady's temper, Ma Cheng sneered: "What? Could it be that she is in charge of this Ma family? My father and my mother want to listen to him? ”
Gu San hurriedly pulled Ma Cheng away, and then said in a low voice: "Second master, of course, the old man and the old lady at home don't have to worry about the eldest and youngest grandmothers, but the eldest and youngest grandmother's own uncle is Ningbo Zhang Qunfang, who is now serving as the head of the household department in Nanjing, and the lord as the governor naturally has to rely on this in-law to allocate grain and grass, so now the eldest and youngest grandmothers in the family really have the final say!" ”
Ma Cheng snorted and said, "What about the eldest brother? My eldest brother doesn't care? Just let his wife mess around like this? ”
"Hey, the eldest young master is loyal, where you dare to take care of this tigress!" After Gu San finished speaking, he realized that he had leaked his mouth, and quickly explained: "Second master, don't let the eldest and young grandmothers hear it, or the villain will be over!" ”
Ma Cheng pursed his lips and didn't speak, walked out of the alley, and then pointed to another small courtyard and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Gu San looked at it and said, "Second Master, the third master lives here, and it is also your younger brother Ma Xi." ”
Do you have a younger brother? As soon as Ma Cheng was about to speak, he saw the door of the small courtyard open, and a middle-aged woman and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walked out.
The boy was very ordinary, wearing a dark blue robe and a turban on his head, but the middle-aged woman made Ma Cheng's eyes shine.
The middle-aged woman was of medium stature, and her outer coat was a water-pink cardigan, and inside was a white cardigan with small sleeves that reached the instep, which was really eye-catching. Although this woman is about thirty years old, she has a pair of red phoenix eyes, light makeup on her face, and a little red lips on her cherry mouth, which is really graceful. According to Ma Cheng's many years of experience in prostitution, this woman is not from a good family at first glance.
Ma Cheng liked mature women in later generations, especially this kind of woman from a good family around thirty years old, which is really a fatal temptation.
The woman and the boy didn't know that there was someone at the door, and as soon as they went out and saw Ma Cheng standing at the door, the woman hurriedly bowed her head and saluted: "The slave family didn't see that it was the second master, please say hello to the second master!" ”
After the woman finished speaking, she pulled the boy on the side, and the boy reluctantly raised his hand and said, "The third brother has seen the second brother!" ”
Gu San hurriedly saluted on the side and said, "It turned out to be the third master and Aunt Zheng, today the second master is injured, let the villain take it out for a walk!" ”
When Ma Cheng heard that it was his aunt, he knew that this was Ma Shiying's little wife, Ma Cheng hurriedly said with a hippie smile: "I didn't expect such a beautiful big sister to be Aunt Zheng, polite!" ”
In the Ming Dynasty, the etiquette was strict, and Aunt Zheng was Ma Shiying's concubine, so she was a little stronger than the servant, and her status was completely incomparable with Ma Cheng, who was born as a sister-in-law. But Aunt Zheng is Ma Cheng's concubine after all, and now Ma Cheng is laughing, which is indeed a bit excessive.
That Aunt Zheng didn't expect Ma Cheng to be able to laugh with him, so she smiled and said, "The second master is really good at laughing!" The slave family has passed away, what a young lady is there! ”
Gu San saw that Ma Cheng dared to laugh with the master's concubine, and he was so frightened that he hung up and peed his pants. Although there are a lot of bullshit things such as uncle and sister-in-law adultery in this kind of big family, and the husband's husband picking up ashes, the Ma family is a scholarly family, and it is a scandal for the sister-in-law and the father's concubine to laugh and say it.
Gu San hurriedly said: "Aunt Zheng go slowly, the villain wants to go out with the second master!" After speaking, he pulled Ma Cheng and walked quickly.
Gu San pulled Ma Cheng around the alley, looked at Aunt Zheng and they had already left, Gu Sancai said in a low voice: "Second master, Aunt Zheng is the master's concubine, you can't laugh at it!" ”
Ma Cheng didn't feel funny, didn't he just say a few words? "I didn't say anything, did I? What are you afraid of? ”
Gu San said in a low voice: "Second master, our family law is strict, if you let the master know that you will inevitably have such a board, Aunt Zheng will also be unlucky to be sold, and you must not say that kind of thing in the future!" ”
Ma Cheng heard Gu San say this, and then remembered that it was no longer the next generation, and women in the Ming Dynasty had no rights at all, let alone a concubine like Aunt Zheng, who was almost like a slave. Although Ma Cheng is not familiar with Aunt Zheng, he doesn't want a living person to be sold just because he says a few words to himself.
Ma Cheng nodded and said: "Third child, you are right, I have to pay attention to it in the future, if there is anything wrong with you following me, you can remind me, so as not to cause any more problems!" ”
Gu San breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ma Cheng say this, as long as this master is obedient.
