Chapter 134: Ruthless Hands and Black Hearts
Seeing Cao Taiwang appear at the door, Ma Cheng thought that his adultery was exposed, and he was stunned for a while. Cao Taiwang was very surprised to see that Ma Cheng didn't speak, and asked again: "Brother Xian, why didn't you inform Brother Fool when you came?" ”
Ma Cheng heard Cao Taiwang say this, looking at Cao Taiwang's expression, he didn't feel like he was coming back to catch the rapist, Ma Cheng had no choice but to make up: "What, the little brother happened to go back to the city today, so he wanted to come to see his brother, and he knew that his brother was not at home, so the little brother was just going back, didn't he meet his brother!" ”
Cao Taiwang heard Ma Cheng say this and smiled: "I see, the foolish brother hasn't been home for many days, so come back today to get a change of clothes." I just happened to meet a good brother, please come in! ”
After Cao Taiwang finished speaking, he pushed open the door, took Ma Cheng's hand and walked inside. Ma Cheng was afraid that Ruan Lizhen would be seen as flawed, so he hurriedly stood at the door and shouted, "Sister-in-law, my brother is back!" ”
Ruan Lizhen in the back room was also startled when she heard Ma Cheng say this, fortunately, Ma Cheng ended early today, if the two of them were lingering for a while, wouldn't they just be caught by Cao Taiwang?
Ruan Lizhen hurriedly put it in and walked out of the door, Ying Ying bowed and said, "The husband is back!" Uncle is here too! ”
Cao Taiwang did not doubt him, took Ma Cheng's hand and said with a smile: "Lady, I happened to meet Brother Xian at the gate today, it is better to meet by chance, Lady go and prepare a few drinks and dishes, Brother Xian and I want to have a drink!" ”
Ruan Lizhen saw that her husband did not doubt herself, so she relieved herself and began to cook with Yun Niang, who was also nervous.
Cao Taiwang and Ma Cheng entered the hall, sat down and began to chat, Cao Taiwang asked, "Isn't Brother Xian running a school outside the city?" Why do you have time to go into the city to find a foolish brother? ”
Ma Cheng dared to say that he came to the city to play with your wife: "Today the school officially opens, so that there is no matter of the younger brother, I just haven't seen my brother for many days, so I want to come over and chat with my brother!" ”
"It's a coincidence that Brother Xian came, in the past nearly a month, Brother Yu has been running errands in the Ministry of Industry, and this is the first time I've gone home because I'm busy, if I don't have a change of clothes on my body, Xu Langzhong can't let Brother Yu go home!"
Ma Cheng heard Cao Taiwang say this, and knew that Xu Zhenye had done a good job, and he kept this guy in the Ministry of Industry for nearly a month, creating a great opportunity for himself.
Ma Cheng put down his hanging heart and asked pretending to be concerned: "Brother, that Xu Langzhong is so ignorant, the younger brother has already told him about the relationship with his brother, and he is so unreasonable, and the younger brother will scold him after a while!" ”
Cao Taiwang smiled and shook his hand after hearing Ma Cheng finish speaking: "Don't be like this, the foolish brother has just joined the company, if he does this, won't he be excluded by his colleagues?" Xu Langzhong reuses the foolish brother very much, and many important things are handed over to the foolish brother, which is the trust of the foolish brother! ”
Ma Cheng laughed in his heart when he heard Cao Taiwang say it, if there was no help from Xu Zhenye, how could he leave this guy in the Ministry of Industry for more than half a month?
At this time, Ruan Lizhen prepared the wine and food, all of which were leftovers from Ma Cheng just now, including half a braised hoof, a plate of salted duck, a plate of salted lotus root slices, and a fish soup.
Cao Taiwang saw that there were only these few dishes at home, and said ashamedly: "Brother Xian, don't blame, there is really nothing to prepare at home!" ”
"There, there, that's already good!" Ma Cheng thought to himself that he had eaten enough on your wife just now, and now he has no appetite for anything.
Ma Cheng got up and poured wine for Cao Taiwang, and the two began to push the cup and change the cup and drink.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Ma Cheng said: "Brother, this time the little brother really has something to look for his brother!" ”
"I'll just say, what's the matter! Foolish brother can do it, it's definitely no problem! ”
Ma Cheng glanced at Yun Niang who was waiting on the side, and then said: "Brother, the little brother is gone, the little brother has fallen in love with the maid Huan Yun Niang in his brother's house, and wants to accept the house, I wonder if my brother can do it?" ”
Yun Niang is Ruan Lizhen's dowry girl, followed the master into the Cao family, and is also Cao Taiwang's roommate, but Cao Taiwang and Ruan Lizhen have just married, and the freshness has not passed, and she has not started this girl, so in Cao Taiwang's heart, this girl ring is still complete.
Although Ma Cheng's request is relatively rude, it is not excessive, don't say that the girl in the Ming Dynasty is a girl, even the master's favored concubine can also be given away. Cao Taiwang originally wanted to befriend Ma Cheng, after all, through Ma Cheng, he could get in touch with the first assistant Ma Shiying, which would be of great benefit to his career.
Now Cao Taiwang was overjoyed when he heard Ma Cheng say this, and said with a smile: "This is simple, you and my brothers still need to say this?" After Cao Taiwang finished speaking, he shouted to the house: "Lady, bring Yun Niang's red deed!" 7 asked
Ruan Lizhen heard Cao Taiwang's voice in the house, but she didn't expect Ma Cheng to get things done so quickly, Yun Niang and she grew up together, and now they are going to separate, and they are still a little sad in their hearts.
Ma Cheng took Yun Niang's deed of sale from Cao Taiwang, which read: Chen Jingzhen has a young daughter, named Zaofu, six years old, please say yes, and is willing to sell Zaofu to Ruan Yuan's family as a slave. The tooth price is four hundred and fifty old money, and it is paid off with the pen. If it is a later generation, there is a Chinese person who takes charge of it in front of him, and has nothing to do with the seller. I am afraid that there is no evidence, there will be no regrets, and I will sell my words and keep my photos.
It turns out that Yun Niang's surname is Chen, called Zaofu, this name is earthy, but it is good for the daughter of a poor family to have a name, what else is there to pay attention to.
Ma Cheng put the deed of sale into his arms, and then said with a smile: "Brother, the younger brother didn't have any money today, so he will send the silver tomorrow!" ”
Cao Taiwang dared to accept Ma Cheng's silver, and hurriedly said: "The virtuous brother has seen the outside, and the elder brother can receive the virtuous brother's silver!" After Cao Taiwang finished speaking, he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, and then said: "Brother Xian, you know that my family doesn't have much money, this is one hundred taels, which is considered the dowry prepared by my brother for Yun Niang!" ”
Ma Cheng didn't expect that there was still money to collect, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, the younger brother won't be gone!" "Ma Cheng, a scumbag, after playing with other people's wives and girls, he still has the face to accept other people's money, which is really shameless.
Then it was simple, Ma Cao and the others began to push the cup and change the cup and drink, Cao Taiwang drank there was Ma Cheng's opponent, and was quickly drunk by Ma Cheng. After Cao Taiwang entered the house, Ma Cheng forced Ruan Lizhen to come to the hall again, and then took Yun Niang home happily.
Yahuan Yunniang and Ruan Lizhen have lived together for ten years, and this is the first time they have left Miss, so they can't help but feel very worried. Ma Cheng saw Yun Niang following behind his horse with a small cloth bag, because it was very difficult to walk with her little feet wrapped. Ma Cheng stretched out his waist and pulled Yun Niang to the horse, hugged him in his arms, and then asked, "What?" Miss your family? ”
Yun Niang nodded with tears in the corners of her eyes, and Ma Cheng couldn't help but laugh when she saw this: "Haha, wasn't your little girl quite spicy at the time?" How did it get to this now? ”
At that time, Ma Cheng was playing hooligan in Ruan Dacheng's house, and was reprimanded by Yun Niang, at that time, Yun Niang's horizontal eyebrows and eyes were deeply rooted in Ma Cheng's mind, and now he saw that the pungent little girl became like a kitten, and he couldn't help but make teasing words.
At this time, the street was full of people, and I saw Ma Cheng, a military general, riding a horse and holding a little girl, so the people on the street paid attention. Yun Niang saw that she was so shy, so she quickly hid her head in Ma Cheng's arms, and said softly at the same time: "Master, the slaves and maids are already pregnant with the master's child, why does the master say such things?" ”
Seeing Yun Niang like this, Ma Cheng laughed: "Yun Niang don't worry, I will be good to you, master, you have two sisters now, both of them are concubines of the master, the eldest is called Gu Xiying, the second is also just accepted today, called Zuo Shuying, and the third is Yun Niang, you!" You have to love each other, don't be jealous, you know? ”
Yun Niang didn't expect to have two sisters before she entered the door, but it is not uncommon for men to take concubines in this era. It's just that Yun Niang is curious why the old man didn't say the main house, you must know that according to Ma Cheng's age, he has already married and has a wife.
"Master, is the eldest lady at home? Yun Niang wants to go and say goodbye! ”
Ma Cheng was in a bad mood when he heard Yun Niang say this, he suddenly thought that his cousin was about to come to Nanjing to get married, looking at the two uncles' bears, he knew that this cousin couldn't be good-looking, and at the same time, the Gu family passed down the Hedong lion roar, Ma Cheng didn't want to be managed by his wife like his son Ma Shiying in the future.
Yun Niang was clever, and when she saw that Ma Cheng didn't speak, she knew that there must be some reason for this, Yun Niang quickly changed the topic and asked, "Master, what about the young lady?" ”
Hearing Yun Niang mention Ruan Lizhen Ma Cheng was also scratching her head, he just had a playful attitude towards Ruan Lizhen, so it was not fun to think of getting into it.
However, Ma Cheng can't kill Cao Taiwang ruthlessly, although Cao Taiwang's son Cao Luji is dead, but after all, this old guy is a lot old in the same year, if Cao Taiwang is really killed, it will be very unfavorable to Ma Cheng. At the same time, Cao Taiwang is also Ruan Dacheng's son-in-law, which also restricts Ma Cheng from making a dead hand.
Ma Cheng thought for a while and called Gu Yong beside him: "Gu Yong, you go to the Ministry of Industry to find Xu Zhenye and ask him to find a chance to turn Cao Taiwang into a waste!" ”
Gu Yong didn't know what Ma Cheng meant, and thought that he was going to beat Cao Taiwang, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Junmen, just beat Cao Taiwang and the general, Lord Xu is a literati, and he doesn't beat him hard!" ”
Seeing that Gu Yong didn't understand what he meant, Ma Cheng scolded: "Waste, if you don't read, you can't do it, you have to write a hundred big characters every day from today, I want to check!" ”
When Gu Yong heard this, he complained in his heart, and it was no problem for him to fight, fight, kill, and set fire, but it was really difficult to read and write.
"Gu Yong, Lao Tzu asked you to go to Xu Zhenye not to beat Cao Taiwang, but to ask Xu Zhenye to find an opportunity to abolish Cao Taiwang's descendants!"
Gu Yong suddenly realized when he heard Ma Cheng say this, it turned out that the Lord of the Military Gate wanted Cao Taiwang to become a eunuch, and with a definite order, Gu Yong quickly turned around to convey Ma Cheng's order.
Yun Niang listened to Ma Cheng's cruel methods in her arms, and trembled with fright, Ma Cheng stroked Yun Niang's back with his hand and said: "Little beauty, don't worry, the master is very kind to his own people, you just need to give birth to a child for the master, and don't worry about other things!" ”
