【686】Two Horses (10)

Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan showed a cloth scroll, on which was the task goal of his own drawing, and Mrs. Ma said that she had seen the things on the cloth scroll before

++++++++++++++++++++="I understand" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, ready to leave.

"Your Excellency, slow down~" Ma Tong stopped Ma Xiaoquan.

"Huh? Uncle Tong, is there anything else? ”

Ma Tong was stunned for a moment: "Your Excellency still calls me Uncle Tong?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "You are an elder, and it is right to call you, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Ma Tong was a little moved, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Ma Tong has a reluctant request."

"Uncle Tong, but it doesn't hurt to say."

Ma Tong and Mrs. Ma glanced at each other, and after getting Mrs. Ma's permission, Ma Tong said: "My Ma family, I beg Your Excellency, pretend to be the fourth son of my Ma family." ”

"What?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, "Pretending to be your fourth son?" This "Ma Xiaoquan is a little difficult.

It's not that Ma Xiaoquan doesn't want to pretend to be the fourth son, it's just that these four sons are too squirming, Beijing is so big, Ma Xiaoquan heard all the strange anecdotes of the four sons from the mouth of the earth, and none of them are serious, if you pretend to be such a gentleman, wouldn't you have to endure the scolding of everyone in Beijing?

"Uncle Tong, I hope you will invite another smart in this matter~" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and bypassed Ma Tong.

Mrs. Ma rushed forward, grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's arm, and said, "Your Excellency, I beg you~" Saying that, Mrs. Ma knelt in front of Ma Xiaoquan with a puff.

"Ouch my mom~~" Ma Xiaoquan was startled, Mrs. Ma is over seventy years old, this kneeling ceremony he can't afford to be young, besides, Mrs. Ma is actually her great-grandmother, let her great-grandmother kneel for herself, this is going to be a long life.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't say a word, he put Mrs. Ma up, knelt in front of Mrs. Ma with a puff and said, "Old lady, I can't afford your gift, I'll give it back to you!" As he spoke, Ma Xiaoquan kowtowed nine times in a row at Mrs. Ma.

Mrs. Ma stood in front of Ma Xiaoquan in a daze, and this scene at this moment seemed to make her see her own grandson

"Quan'er" Mrs. Ma couldn't help but call softly.

Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, looked at the housekeeper Ma Tong's hot and earnest eyes, and then looked at Mrs. Ma's white hair, and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I promise you"

Ma Xiaoquan's spit, Mrs. Ma and the housekeeper Ma Tong were immediately overjoyed, the two couldn't help but say, stepped forward directly, held Ma Xiaoquan's hands left and right, and shook gratefully.

"Old lady, uncle, you"

Mrs. Ma burst into tears, and the housekeeper Ma Tong was also in tears.

"Anyway, my Ma family at least has a grandson, if Your Excellency doesn't dislike it, my wife asks Your Excellency for a grandma"

Ma Xiaoquan hummed, and knelt in front of Mrs. Ma again with a puff: "Grandma, my grandson kowtowed to you~"

Mrs. Ma covered her mouth, for fear that she would cry, and Ma Tong also shook her body violently, holding back the excitement in her heart.

"Hurry up~~ Hurry up, hurry up" Mrs. Ma stepped forward and helped Ma Xiaoquan up, patting the dust on Ma Xiao's body in distress.

Ma Xiaoquan's heart is also very excited, since he was born, he has never seen his grandfather and grandmother, because before Ma Xiaoquan was born, his grandparents had passed away.

Growing up, without the love of his grandfather and grandmother, Ma Xiaoquan always felt that something was missing.

"Grandma" Ma Xiaoquan shouted excitedly again.

Mrs. Ma snorted, and finally couldn't help crying.

Ma Tong was startled, and hurriedly comforted Mrs. Ma, and Li Qinghan lived in the small courtyard not far from Mrs. Ma.

Ma Xiaoquan took Mrs. Ma's hand and said, "Grandma, let's go into the house and talk."

"Hmm~Good~~"

The three of them entered the room and closed the door tightly.

Ma Tong poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Ma and Ma Xiaoquan, while he himself stood by Mrs. Ma's side like a guard.

"Uncle Tong, you"

Ma Tong smiled: "Quan'er, in fact, I'm quite ashamed of you to call me uncle, after all, I'm not a real man, hey~~"

When Ma Tong said this, Ma Xiaoquan noticed that Ma Tong did not have a beard on his chin, his face was very smooth, and his skin was much fairer than that of ordinary men.

"Uncle Tong, what's going on?"

Ma Tong smiled bitterly: "Since I was a child, I was cut into the palace and the baby was cut, and then I was expelled again, and life is forced, if it weren't for the lord and Mrs. who are going to die, I'm afraid my cheap life would have been gone a long time ago." ”

Mrs. Ma sighed and said: "Ma Tong, don't say that, you have done your best to my Ma family over the years, and I have seen it in my eyes and remembered it in my heart~"

Ma Tong shook his head: "Madame, Ma Tong, because I am not a man, was looked down upon, it was the lord and Mrs. who took in Ma Tong, gave Ma Tong the surname Ma, and let Ma Tong worship the master to learn martial arts, and let Ma Tong be the housekeeper of the Ma family."

Old Madam Ma nodded lightly: "Okay Ma Tong, don't say it again, this Ma family will always have your place, the old man didn't explain before he died, your Ma Tong will be included in the genealogy of my Ma family." ”

Ma Tong was stunned when he heard this, and then knelt down in front of Mrs. Ma with a puff: "Madam, no, by all means, the genealogy is handed down by the ancestors of the Ma family, Ma Tong is not the blood of the Ma family, nor is he a real man, how can Ma Tong be virtuous?" ”

Old Madam Ma smiled slightly, looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and asked, "Quan'er, do you think grandma can do this?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Of course you can, Uncle Tong, what's wrong with this, this Ma family's genealogy is not a treasure, in fact, I think that as long as you are kind to the Ma family, you can go to the family tree, hehe"

Old Madam Ma nodded, sighed and said, "The former Quan'er (the one who really died, Ma Xiaoquan) also said so, you are really similar."

Ma Xiaoquan helped Ma Tong up and asked Mrs. Ma: "Grandma, I still have to ask you, what was the fourth young master like in the past?" ”

Mrs. Ma exhaled and glanced at Ma Tong, who understood and bowed out of the room.
