Lao Zhu was cruel, and just before the big battle with Chen Youliang, he cleared the last remnants of Guo Zixing's forces. Shao Rong and Zhao Jizu, who had always occupied a high position in the Zhu army, were killed in the "rebellion", and Guo Zixing's only remaining son, Guo Tianjue, was also killed.

Even if he gets himself drenched in blood, he has to cut off the hand that may stab him at any time, and fight Chen Youliang happily.

As Guo Zixing's daughter, Ma Dajia has lost another relative, even if there is no blood relationship, it is also her younger brother who grew up with her. Perhaps because of this, Madu has another opportunity to fill the void in her heart.

I don't know what the situation was at the time, but it must have been very tragic, otherwise it has been almost two years, and Ma Dajia only dares to worship secretly, maybe there is a woman in this harem who is doing the same thing as Ma Dajia now.

After the worship, Ma Dajia suddenly remembered and asked if he wanted to worship his grandfather. Of course, Madu knew that she wasn't talking about the grandfather outside the city.

But grandpa should still be alive and well in 600 years, how can he worship. Ma Du had to say that his grandfather didn't like these rituals, and when it was spring, he would take the peach blossoms and scatter them into the river. Of course, the owner of the peach blossom nunnery likes peach blossoms, can he still like chrysanthemums?

The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Ma Dajia prepared a lot of New Year's goods for Ma Du and loaded them into the carriage, "Go outside the city and take a look, I know you are not at ease, spend the night, remember to come early tomorrow!" ”

Ma Du nodded heavily, got into the carriage and went out of the city, went straight to the foot of Fang Mountain, walked for more than an hour, and saw a beautiful mansion in the distance on the official road.

He didn't expect it to be built so quickly, with the current work efficiency of craftsmen, it is possible to build a mansion with five entrances and five roads for a year and a half, but now it is less than four months.

The happiest person was not Ma Du, Zhang Wuliu, who was driving, waved his whip and shouted excitedly, "The mansion is built, it's great, my lord!" ”

"Then my house is not for you to live in, what are you happy about!"

Zhang Wuliu blinked, "My lord, I'm your nursing home, don't I live in your house?" ”

"No, you and your grandma have to have their own home. After the New Year, I will ask people to build a yard for you and Lao Liu on the edge of my yard. Ma Du didn't know much before, so he invited Lao Liu and Zhang Wuliu to let them bring their families to live with him.

Recently, I learned that the whole family living in the master's house was a slave who sold himself into slavery. Whether it is the guards of the Chang family or the guards of the palace, they all have their own other homes.

Although they were vassals of the royal palace, they were relatively independent individuals. A few of the guards' mothers-in-law also worked in the palace, but they left after dark, and took away their wages instead of monthly wages. Even Lao Zhu often greeted them politely when he saw them, and if he did something wrong, he would deduct his wages at most, and it was the slave who was whipped by the board.

Eighty percent of the children of the guard's family will still be guards, and the children of the slave's family must be slaves, maybe the master will change, but the identity of the generations will hardly change.

Lao Liu and Zhang Wuliu will not treat them as slaves even if they live at home, and they should not treat themselves as slaves, at least Zhang Wuliu does not have this awareness. But in such a world, who can't control other people's eyes and ideas, there is no need to put pressure on their families.

The carriage got off the official road and walked along the bluestone slab to the gate, and Lao Liu in the gatehouse happily greeted him. Zhang Wuliu couldn't hold his breath, and as soon as he got out of the car, he complained, "Lao Liu, the adults said that we are not allowed to live in a big house, and said that they would build another small courtyard for us." ”

Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and slapped the melon seeds on the back of his head, "Stupid! The adults lift you, and they don't know who to show them, and they don't know who to show them, and they don't know how to lift the curtain for the adults. ”

"Lao Liu, don't scold him, it's not strange that he doesn't understand these rules, in fact, I just understood!" Ma Du got out of the car, "After the New Year, I'll entangle the two of you, take the family over, and live at home first." Wait until your yard is covered and then move out. ”

Ma Du entered the door as he spoke, and the courtyard was similar to what Ma Du expected, it was simple and generous, and it was like a Jiangnan garden, of course he liked it. But he estimated that if he dug a pond to raise a few koi fish, he would serve them to the table in a few days.

"When I left, I had just laid the foundation, why did I build it so quickly, Lao Liu, how many craftsmen have you found?" As he walked, he saw that the paint on many of the doors had not yet dried, and it should have just been completed.

Lao Liu smiled, "More than a thousand people!" It was sent by the prince, first to build a house on the other side of the mountain, and after the construction was completed, he came to build it for our family, and it was only two days after it was completed, and the old lady couldn't wait to move in. ”

Ma Du nodded, "Oh, it turned out that my brother-in-law helped, and I finally didn't promise to work for him in vain, this is a year's worth of money." Lao Liu twisted his head to the side, indicating that he had not heard anything.

The advantage of a small yard, a big yard also has a big disadvantage, usually as soon as their carriage enters the door, small fish and water chestnuts will pounce up, and now they only see the figure when they twist and turn.

"My brother is back!" Xiao Yu'er shouted, and there were echoes in the huge yard, which was quite scary. He pounced on Ma Du with his arms open, and before he could run two steps, he was squeezed aside by the water chestnut.

"Brother!" Lingjiao'er kept Ma Du and stretched out his head to look behind him, "Didn't my brother redeem my sister?" Don't let her be a maid anymore. ”

Xiao Yu'er also came over, "Yes, yes, if you want to be a maid, you have to do it at home." ”

Lao Liu smiled: "Chang Gongzi joked with the two young ladies, saying that the adults sold the eldest lady to his house to be a maid, and the two young ladies believed it." ”

Ma Du smiled and asked, "The big fish hasn't come back yet?" Lao Liu, you hurry up and go to Changfu to take the big fish back for the New Year. ”

"Hey!" As soon as Lao Liu responded, he saw Zhang Wuliu running over in a hurry, shouting loudly: "It's here!" Here it comes! ”

Zhang Wuliu ran over, panting and pouting, and pointed to the aisle, "Over there!" Here it comes! ”

I saw a few maids and women hugging a girl coming over, only to see that the girl's body was curly, walking like a weak willow supporting the wind, and the lotus step under her feet was like a step, and Tingting was hired to stand in front of the horse.

She combed a pair of double buns, wrapped around two circles of pink flowers, pink peach cheeks, pearls on both ears, pink jacket on the upper body, brocade long skirt on the lower body, wearing a fur-edged red cloak, snow-white fluff around the small face, which set off his delicate and cute.

She put her hands on her waist and squatted down, "Brother! ”

Madu staggered back, yah! Miscalculated! Mrs. Chang, you are cultivated according to the standards of the crown princess!
