When Ma Miaozhen saw her father, she flew over like a bird. Holding one of Ma Shifan's arms, he was coquettish. Her uncharacteristically non-fighting made Ma Shifan stunned. He came with the mentality of persuading his daughter. I was still a little apprehensive before, but at this time, J was a little relieved when he saw this.

He smiled and asked his daughter, "Zhen'er, it seems that you have figured it out." ”

"Well, father, the daughter did figure it out." Ma Miaozhen said coquettishly.

"That's good, my father will be relieved." Ma Shifan laughed.

"When is the father going to let his daughter out? My daughter is so bored here! Ma Miaozhen asked extremely obediently.

Ma Shifan was about to promise her that he could let her out now, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and he was taken aback. Xindao almost hit her sugar-coated cannonball. He smiled and said, "Is this this?" Don't worry. After Liu Yong's kid gets married, his father will naturally let you out. ”

When Ma Miaozhen heard this, she let go of Ma Shifan's arm and pursed her lips angrily. Ma Shifan hurriedly coaxed: "Zhen'er, it's not for your father to lock you up, Liu Yong's kid has already had a marriage contract, and he will get married in a few days." You said you had to be with him, weren't you bored? ”

"Father, daughter wants to be with the person she likes, why is it boring to be self-deprecating? You said? Ma Miaozhen questioned her father rudely.

She has been pampered since she was a child, and it is common for her to vent her temper with her father.

But Ma Shifan loved his baby daughter very much because Ma Miaozhen's mother died early. Over time, Ma Miaozhen has become a willful girl.

"How can the girl of our Ma family go to be a concubine for others? Wouldn't that be a loss of face for our ancestors of the Ma family? What's more, Liu Yong is still the enemy of our Ma family. Ma Shifan said.

Hearing the word enemy, Ma Miaozhen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Father, why is he the enemy of our Ma family?" He's just running a sauce shop. "She didn't know about her cousin Mada yet. She hadn't met the cousin either.

"Zhen'er, do you remember that there is another cousin in Qingshen County?" Ma Shifan asked.

Ma Miaozhen thought about it and nodded.

"Hey! Your cousin has now been put on death row by Lord Zhizhou, and he will be beheaded soon. Ma Shifan sighed.

"Why? Did cousin break the royal law? Ma Miaozhen asked casually, and didn't seem to care about her cousin's life or death.

"He was killed by Liu Yong!" Ma Shifan said sadly.

"What? Killed by Liu Yong? How is this possible? Liu Yong is a good-hearted person who can't be better. How could he harm people? The daughter didn't believe it. Ma Miaozhen defended because she knew Liu Yong very well.

"Zhen'er, there are some things you don't know." Ma Shifan said.

"Father, what the hell is going on?" Ma Miaozhen wants to know about the festival.

"Ahem! It's also your cousin who has to gamble with Liu Yong's brother. As a result, your cousin was lucky and won all his Liu family's property. Unexpectedly, Liu Yong's brother was a sick man, and he knew that his family property had been lost, so he died of fright. No, in order to avenge his brother, Liu Yong's kid reported your cousin Mada to the official. He has a deep friendship with Lord Zhizhou, you think, where is your cousin's hope of survival? Not to mention his life, now all his family property has been sentenced to Liu Yong by Lord Zhizhou. Are you angry? ”

After speaking, Ma Shifan snorted. The expression was indignant.

"Father, since my cousin was sentenced to beheading, he still committed a felony, and there must be solid evidence. I think that even if Liu Yong has a good relationship with Lord Zhizhou, Lord Zhizhou will not engage in favoritism and take revenge for Liu Yong. Ma Miaozhen is still defending Liu Yong.

Ma Shifan hadn't heard it yet. The daughter has a good heart, and he knows it. explained to his daughter: "But Lord Zhizhou can give a lighter sentence, confiscate the family property and compensate Liu Yong, at least he can save his life, right?" But...... Cough! ”

Ma Miaozhen thinks about it, isn't it just a gamble? If you are willing to gamble and lose, how can there be such a serious sin? Could it really be that Liu Yong did something inside, so that his cousin was sentenced to behead him because of him? No, I have to ask Liu Yong about this matter.

She was thinking about it, but she heard Ma Shifan say: "Zhen'er, you say, a person like Liu Yong, the enemy of our Ma family, how can you marry him, and still be a concubine?" Fathers will never agree. ”

Ma Shifan smiled kindly after speaking, and said: "Zhen'er, my father knows that you have grown up, and since you want to marry, then my father will let the matchmaker go to propose marriage to you." We're going to find a good family anyway. You have never suffered the slightest grievance at home since you were a child. Getting married and finding a family must also allow you not to be wronged in the slightest, so that you can rest assured as a father, and you can be regarded as worthy of your mother under Jiuquan. ”

After speaking, Ma Shifan's face showed indescribable sadness.

Hearing her mother, Ma Miaozhen's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and tears swirled in her eyes. Motherless children are pitiful.

She wanted to argue with Ma Shifan, saying that she didn't want to get married, but when she saw the sadness on her father's face that was getting older, she didn't open her mouth.

"Okay, Zhen'er, you will be wronged for a few more days, and when Liu Yong gets married, his father will naturally let you out. I shut you up every day, and my father's heart is not happy. Ma Shifan said.

Ma Miaozhen was silent.

Ma Shifan stayed for a while and went out.

Ma Miaozhen stood stunned, and the little maids didn't dare to disturb. It wasn't until she had been standing for a little longer that a little maid came to help her sit down in her chair.

She looked at the vase in front of her stupidly, feeling sad, sad not that her cousin, but Liu Yong was about to get married. He will never be with Liu Yong again. Not being able to be with the person she likes is the greatest sorrow in life for Ma Miaozhen.

……

At the opening ceremony of the sauce shop, Liu Yong invited everyone he knew. Including Lord Zhizhou also came, Zhang Dujian and Zhao Tongju naturally came together. As soon as they came, almost all the officials of Meizhou City were present. Not for anything else, in order to be close to these big officials.

Among the high-ranking officials, only Guo Dequan did not come.

Liu Yong didn't care, he didn't plan for Guo Dequan to come.

On this morning, the whole sauce shop was dressed in red and green, and it was full of joy. Carriages and sedan chairs soon gathered in front of the gate. The gate is very lively.

Zhang Xixi also came and brought a congratulatory gift to Liu Yong. She was still wearing a milky white peony flower dress, and her face was covered with a white veil. Surrounded by a few little girls, the fragrance of flowers overflows everywhere he goes.
