Ma Cheng remembered that the third brother Ma Xi was not very kind to him just now, and asked, "Gu San, was that Ma Xi my mother's biological son just now?" ”

"The second master, the third master was born to Aunt Zheng. Aunt Zheng was the top Qing official of Huaichun Pavilion in Datong, Shanxi, when the lord was the prefect in Datong, Shanxi, and the local Jin merchants gave it to the lord, and the third master was born by Aunt Zheng at that time! ”

Oh, it turned out to be a concubine! Ma Cheng knew that the Ming Dynasty paid attention to his background, although this Ma Laosan was Ma Shiying's biological son, but his status as a mother was too low, so Ma Laosan's status in the family was stronger than that of Gu San in front of him. But Gu San is the long-term follower of his sister-in-law Ma Cheng, and his real favor is even greater than that of Ma Xi.

Ma Cheng touched his hairless chin and pondered: I didn't expect this Aunt Zheng to be Aunt Datong, it's really an eye-opener!

Datong aunt is a general term, of course, this aunt is not the meaning of wife, but one of the four prostitutes * women who were famous throughout the country in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, because of economic development, the natural wind and moon industry also ushered in the opportunity for great development, and there were four famous prostitutes in China, namely Yangzhou Slender Horse, Datong Aunt Datong, Taishan Sister, and Hangzhou Boat Niang. Needless to say, Yangzhou Skinny Horse, Hangzhou Boat Niang and Datong Aunt Datong know what they do, but this Taishan girl is a real nun. In fact, the degree of flowery play of ancient Chinese people is not much worse than that of later generations, and later generations like to play some uniform temptation, and ancient people also have this need.

Ma Cheng was an only child in his previous life, and he still liked such a younger brother, but he didn't like him very much when he saw that Ma Xi just now, did he bully him before?

Ma Cheng asked the question in his heart, Gu San sighed and said, "Second master, the specific situation is not clear. However, after the lord was elected as the head of the household department in Nanjing in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he was elected as the head of the household department in Nanjing, and the old lady came to Nanjing with her family. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the master was transferred to Datong, Shanxi Province as the prefect, when the second master was just born, the old lady had to stay in Nanjing to take care of the second master, and at the same time the uncle had already entered the school, and he really couldn't follow him to Shanxi, so the master went to work alone at that time. ”

Gu San said this and looked at Ma Cheng, and then said carefully: "Third master, do you know what kind of character the old lady has, the old lady is at home with the uncle, the eldest lady and the second master, it is already very hard, where did I think that the old lady accepted Aunt Zheng in Shanxi, this old lady is naturally unhappy in her heart, and then just... Second master, you know! ”

I see! Ma Cheng knew why, his mother worked hard at home to take care of the children, and cultivated the eldest brother Ma Luan into a person, which originally contributed a lot. But knowing that his father had found a young and beautiful wife outside, his wife was naturally unhappy. I have seen what kind of character the old lady Gu has seen yesterday, and she naturally has no good face for that Aunt Zheng, and the third Ma Xi, as the son of Aunt Zheng, naturally hates the house and Wu, and suffers a lot of anger.

In fact, Ma Cheng still doesn't know a little bit, Ma Xi has a bad attitude towards him, and Ma Cheng himself has a reason. Ma Cheng used to oppress Ma Xi very much by relying on his identity as his sister-in-law, so it is strange that the relationship between the two brothers can be good.

"Gu San, does my father still have a concubine?"

"Second master, in addition to Aunt Zheng, the master also has a concubine, Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao lives in a simple house and does not come to the front yard!"

Ma Cheng didn't expect that his father was quite romantic, and his wife was so good at managing it and got two little wives.

"Gu San, does Aunt Zhao have a child?"

"The second miss was born to Aunt Zhao, but the second miss has been married, and now she is in Nanjing with the second aunt, and she is not at home!"

Gu San introduced Ma Cheng to the situation at home, and accompanied Ma Cheng forward, and soon the two came to a gate. This is a red-painted door, which is significantly different from the other black-painted doors in the house.

When Gu San saw this, he hurriedly stopped Ma Cheng and said, "Second master, you can't go forward anymore, in front of you is the governor's yamen, where the master works!" ”

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the official residence system was implemented, and the entire yamen and the residence were one, with the back being the place where the officials' families lived and the front being the place where the officials worked.

Although Ma Shiying's official position is referred to as the governor of Fengyang, his full name is the military affairs of Fengyang, Henan, Shandong, Yangzhou, Huai'an and other places. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the governor has more power than the governor, and the governor is only in charge of the military affairs of one or two provinces, but the supervisor is different, the supervisor is basically in charge of the military and civil affairs of several provinces, and he is really a feudal official with heavy power.

But Ma Cheng doesn't know these ways in officialdom, he only knows that his father is the governor, what is the governor? Isn't it the same as those commanders of large military regions in later generations? Now that I have such a bullish man, I don't want to pretend to be forced as much as I want?

"Gu San, open the door, Young Master Ben is going to see what the Governor's Yamen looks like!"

Gu San really can't do anything about this second ancestor, the governor's yamen is a casual visit by you? Gu San hurriedly stopped Ma Cheng and said, "Second Master, this can't work!" You are not an officer, you are not an attaché of the yamen, and you are not an official yet, so it is really not good to go to the governor's yamen! ”

Ma Cheng looked at Gu San and stopped him, opened his mouth and scolded: "Damn, the young master is going to go, this young master is the biggest in Fengyang City, I can't go there?" ”

Gu San hurriedly persuaded bitterly: "Second master, it's true that the master is the supervisor, but this Fengyang City is not the biggest master!" At least there is a eunuch Lu Jiude in the central capital, this is a prison sent by the emperor, and the lord and Lu Zhenshou have never dealt with each other. If Lu Zhenshou knew that the second master had entered the governor's yamen in vain, he would definitely use this matter to make it difficult for the master! Please think twice! ”

Ma Cheng knew that the Ming Dynasty was the eunuch dynasty, and the imperial court had always set up the official position of eunuch supervisor in the army. But isn't Ma Shiying a eunuch? What is a Eunuch? Isn't it a eunuch? As a eunuch, he has a bad relationship with eunuchs, this is too strange!

"Gu San, my father has a bad relationship with the eunuch? Isn't my dad a eunuch? ”

Gu San was taken aback when he heard Ma Cheng say this, and hurriedly said: "Second master, don't talk nonsense, how can the master be a eunuch, the master was the prefect of Datong back then, and there was no way to repair the ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian, but the official in the whole world didn't cultivate at that time?" That official dares not to repair? Master, there's no way around this! ”

Ma Cheng nodded when he heard Gu San say this, but Ma Shiying has nothing to do with Ma Cheng, anyway, in a few months, Ma Shiying will become the first auxiliary university scholar above 10,000 people under one person, and he is still afraid of an old eunuch at that time?

Regardless of Gu San's persuasion, Ma Cheng stepped forward and kicked the red lacquer door open, and walked in quickly. Gu San saw that this master was so bold and reckless, but there was nothing he could do, as long as he followed behind.

The inside of the red lacquered gate is no different, it is also a long alley, but the surrounding houses are mostly dilapidated, and many of them have been burned through the roof, as if they have just been robbed.

This is different from the majestic yamen in Ma Cheng's heart, in later generations, it was a small county-level government with a high family, why was the yamen of the governor of the Ming Dynasty so dilapidated.

What Ma Cheng didn't know was that nine years ago, that is, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, the rogue Li Zicheng led a group of his men to capture Fengyang, burned Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb clean, and set a fire in Fengyang City when he left.

After Ma Shiying took office in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he also repaired the governor's yamen, but the time was too short and the funds were not enough.

The red-lacquered gate that Ma Cheng walked through just now was the gateway to the governor's yamen and the back house, which was already the backyard of the governor's yamen, and there were no people. After passing through the two moon gates, Ma Cheng came to the third hall of the governor's yamen, where the governor's staff office and the governor's Ma Damen rested, and from here there began to be more people.

Ma Cheng came out of a moon corner door, in front of him is a large courtyard, in addition to the main room on the left and right are ear rooms, these rooms are divided into small compartments, and there are wooden signs hanging outside the door, on which are written the names of pedestrians, Zhaoma, experience, etc., probably this is the office of the governor's yamen.

The governor's yamen was a military institution, and of course it was guarded by guards, and there were four soldiers standing at the gate of the three halls. These four people saw how a stranger came in from the yamen, and they were just about to come over to ask, when Gu San turned out behind Ma Cheng.

Ma Shiying, as the governor of Fengyang, was guarded by personal soldiers, because Ma Shiying and the commander of Guizhou Wei had a close relationship with Gu Congxin, so naturally the personal soldiers in the governor's yamen were all elite soldiers sent by Gu Congxin. The four soldiers standing guard at the door recognized Gu San, and one of them was Gu San's cousin.

"Third uncle, why are you here?" The soldier stepped forward and hurriedly saluted Gu San, and at the same time looked at Ma Cheng behind Gu San, and then asked in a low voice: "Third uncle, this is Chongdi, who is that person?" ”

Gu San patted the soldier's shoulder and said, "Little Wu, are you on duty today?" Brothers, they're all good! Gu San hugged the other three soldiers with a fist, which was regarded as a greeting.

Gu San is a hereditary hundred households, and he is still a close confidant of the old lady, so his status is naturally higher than that of these pro-soldiers, and the three soldiers did not dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, some called the third uncle and some called the third brother.

Gu San said to the four soldiers: "Several, this is the second son of the Governor, come to the front yard today to have a look!" ”

These four soldiers are different from Gu San, they came from Guizhou after Ma Shiying became the governor, so they have never seen Ma Cheng. Now I heard Gu San say that this is the famous second ancestor of the Ma family, and one by one he quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "My subordinates have seen Xiao Yanei!" Ma Cheng couldn't help but feel very satisfied when he heard them call himself Yanei, this is the majesty that a second generation of officials should have.

Ma Cheng pretended to cough and said, "Hmm! Great work, everyone! Gu San, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! ”

What did Gu Sanyi listen to? Ten taels per person? Second master, you are really a loser, do you know how much ten taels of silver is?
