After Ma Xiaofang finished speaking, she lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes without speaking.

Zhu Hongsan waited for a while and asked, "What's the matter?" You're talking about it. Ma Xiaofang still didn't speak. Zhu Hongsan lowered his head and suddenly realized. said: "Congratulations on your marriage." ”

Ma Xiaofang raised her head suddenly and said, "How do you know?" ”

Zhu Hongsan thought bitterly: "Hey, it seems that I am lonely and old, and I was hit just after I had a little affection for Ma Xiaofang." ”

Ma Xiaofang saw that Zhu Hongsan didn't speak, lowered her head and said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, my uncle came with a letter, you know that my uncle was an official in Nanjing, and he was demoted to Nanjing to be an official because he offended the eunuch party. This time Wei Zhongxian died, and I heard that the eunuchs were all killed. My uncle has also been enabled to go back to BJ. I sent a letter to my father, saying that he had a friend named Hou Sui, who used to be a colleague in the household department, and he was hit by the eunuch party, but Hou Sui was directly dismissed and returned to HN's hometown, and this time he also used it. I heard that it was a big official. He has a son named Hou Fangyu, who is as old as me and is also ten years old. Uncle asked me to marry him. ”

Zhu Hongsan heard that it was Hou Fangyu, the fourth son of the late Ming Dynasty, but the end was not good, the peach blossom fan was written about him and Li Xiangjun.

Ma Xiaofang saw that Zhu Hongsan didn't speak, stood up and said angrily: "You dead man, you are talking." ”

Zhu Hongsan opened his mouth and said: "Things are like this, what else can I say, Hou Fangyu is a young man, much more promising than my half-dead clan, congratulations, boy, Mrs. Hou." ”

As soon as Ma Xiaofang heard Zhu Hongsan say such heartless words, she immediately cried and slapped Zhu Hongsan: "You bastard, you don't remember what you said before?" The old lady let you kiss it, and let you touch it, I will die with you even if I die, you wait, I will go and get a knife, kill you first I am committing suicide. With that, he rushed to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Zhu Hongsan was in a cold sweat by this sturdy old lady, and hurriedly hugged Ma Xiaofang and shouted: "Miss Ma, Miss Ma, I'm angry with you, test whether you have changed your mind, really, I am a bastard to lie to you." ”

Ma Xiaofang burst into tears and laughed when she heard her lover say this, and said, "The little bastard still hasn't let go of his hand, where are you touching." ”

Only then did Zhu Hongsan realize that he was hugging Ma Xiaofang from behind, and his hand happened to touch Ma Xiaofang's chest, which felt good. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan also pinched two hard. Then he said with a smile: "It seems to have grown up." ”

Ma Xiaofang couldn't care about being shy now, twisted Zhu Hongsan's ear and said: "I came today just to think of a way, if you can't think of it, my mother will die with you today." ”

After Zhu Hongsan knew Ma Xiaofang's true intentions, he swept away the decadent mood just now, took away the hand that was twisting his ear, put it in his hand and stroked it, and said, "I don't know what Madame wants to do?" ”

Ma Xiaofang's face was flushed, so Zhu Hongsan grabbed his little hand and said: "Two things, the first one makes this marriage unsuccessful." The second thing is that I want to marry you. ”

Zhu Hongsan groaned: "The first thing is easy to do, and the second thing is in a hurry now, and you can't do it until you are seventeen years old." ”

"Why? As soon as I said that I would marry you, you pushed back, did you want to retreat? Do you dislike the old lady for not looking good?

Zhu Hongsan hurriedly knelt in front of Ma Xiaofang and said: "Zhu Hongsan swears here, he only loves Ma Xiaofang alone in his life, and he will have a hundred children with her in the future. ”

When Ma Xiaofang heard her lover say this, her face was like a peach blossom, and she said, "Phew, whoever gives you a hundred children, shameless, get up quickly." ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at Ma Xiaofang's white and pure face, soft and delicate skin. The eyebrows are slender and picturesque, the eyes are shining like stars, there is a small mouth under the small bridge of the nose, the lips are thin, and the corners of the mouth are slightly curved upward. At this time, because of his words, his face was full of smiles, how beautiful and beautiful he was.

Zhu Hongsan couldn't wait to turn into a jackal immediately, and immediately straighten Ma Xiaofang on the spot. But I found that I was only eight years old, and I was willing to do everything I could, but my little brother was not angry. At this time, Zhu Hongsan had the heart to strangle Zhu Yuanzhang to death, gave me a beautiful wife but gave me an impotence body, God, let me die.

Ma Xiaofang looked at Zhu Hongsan, from his face at the beginning, to slowly turning into a snow-white face, and then lying on the table crying, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiaosan, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Zhu Hongsan stopped crying and said, "It's nothing, I just hate."

Ma Xiaofang blinked her eyes and asked, "What do you hate?" ”

Zhu Hongsan gritted his teeth and said: "Hate my body, now it's so small, but the beauty has more than enough heart in front of me." ”

Ma Xiaofang is now eleven, and the eleven of the ancients already knows some things about men and women. Now when I heard my lover say this, I secretly rejoiced in my heart: "Little San, when you go to my house to propose marriage at the age of twelve, the slave family is not at your discretion." ”

Zhu Hongsan thought it would be better to change the topic, if this continues, the uncle will have to live ten years less. hurriedly said: "I'll talk about that later, now I'll teach you how to mess up the family affair first." ”

Ma Xiaofang also heard it, as long as the family affairs were disturbed, there would be a chance to be with the lover in the future, and hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, I'll listen." ”

Zhu Hongsan asked, "Is your third brother Ma Jingyuan at home?" ”

"At home"

When Zhu Hongsan heard this, he had a plan in his heart and said, "You asked your third brother for this matter." You think, such a big thing as marrying, both of you are official eunuchs, you must not be able to decide with just a letter, there will definitely be elders in their family who will lead Hou Fangyu to your house, and show your family at the same time as looking at your character, but I think that based on your appearance, their family will basically not agree. ”

Ma Xiaofang said: "Three dogs, you are looking for death, dare to say that the old lady is ugly?" ”

Zhu Hongsan hurriedly said: "But in my heart, Mrs. is the best-looking, there is no one, it is all." ”

Ma Xiaofang spared Zhu Hongsan at this time.

Zhu Hongsan continued: "Before the Hou family comes again, your father and mother will definitely tell you to pretend to be a lady and cover your big feet with your skirt." Zhu Hongsan saw that Ma Xiaofang was about to go berserk again, and hurriedly said: "Do you still want to hear it, don't get angry if you want to hear it, listen to me." ”

Zhu Hongsan continued: "What you have to do is to listen to your father, but after the Hou family comes, in front of the Hou family, you want your third brother to make you angry, and then you kick your third brother with your foot, and then take some sticks and bricks to hit your head, that's it." ”

Ma Xiaofang rolled her eyes and said, "How annoying are you to my third brother, you cheat him like this, okay, I know what you mean, don't you just make me embarrassed and make the Hou family dislike me?" The old lady knows how to do it. ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled wryly: "Madam, they don't like your big feet, they don't like your domineering, but I like them all, I like your big feet, I like you to twist my ears." ”

Ma Xiaofang glanced at Zhu Hongsan and said, "It's going to be good, okay, I'm leaving." After saying that, he raised his legs and went out the door.

Things were just as Zhu Hongsan expected, in March of the first year of Chongzhen, Hou Sui was visiting friends in Nanjing when he received the will to recover, and he also heard the news that Ma Guoan was also going to recover.

At the same time, Ma Guoan also revealed the intention of forming a family with his children. Hou Sui is also very satisfied with this family business, the Ma family is a three-jinshi, which is rare in the entire Ming Dynasty. In addition, this daughter is still a descendant, and her uncle is still the governor of his hometown Henan.

Although I heard that the girl of the Ma family may be naughty and naughty, and she is a year older than her son, this is all skin in front of the immediate interests. Hou Sui also wanted to take the opportunity to go home and lead his son to take a detour to Huguang Wuchang Mansion to see this family business, and if he could, he would settle it. lest you have long nights and many dreams.

So Hou Sui set out on March 20 with Ma Guoan's letter, went up the Yangtze River, and arrived at Majiazhuang in Wuchang Prefecture on April 10. It was nothing a few days ago, Ma Xiaofang was well-behaved, and she played the role of a very good girl. Ma Guoxiang, who gave his daughter a headache, was also surprised, thinking that his daughter had changed sex.

Hou Sui is also very satisfied with this family business, although Ma Xiaofang is a little tall, but it is not a matter, Ma Guoxiang is even more satisfied with Hou Fangyu. Of course, the four princes of the late Ming Dynasty are not fake.

On this day, the Hou father and son were invited to a banquet at Ma Guoxiang's house, and Wuchang He County Commander was invited, He County Commander and Hou Sui are also old acquaintances, both of whom were difficult brothers and sisters who were suppressed by the Eunuch Party that year, and He County Commander also received an order to go to Shandong to serve as the prefect of Jinan, and he is waiting for his successor to accept it these days.

There was also Ma Mingyuan accompanying Hou Fangyu on the table. Ma Mingyuan has married He Xianling's daughter, but he didn't get admitted to the lifting of people last year, and he is studying hard at home, trying to try again the year after tomorrow, but it is also very scary, Ma Mingyuan is only eighteen years old this year, Zhang Juzheng is sixteen years old when he was admitted to the lifting of people this year, and there are only a few Zhang Juzheng in Daming.

When a group of stinky old nine were touting each other, the third child of the Ma family, that is, Ma Jingyuan, came, Ma Jingyuan has been reading more and more in recent years, Ma Guoxiang has basically given up on him, just hope that he can know the etiquette, he will inherit his family business after a hundred years, and his two brothers will not compete with him for the family business.

At this time, Ma Jingyuan knelt on the ground when he entered the house, Ma Guoxiang saw his son's nose and face were swollen, thinking that he was fighting with people outside again, afraid that he would embarrass himself in front of outsiders. Originally, he was told to retreat quickly, but he didn't expect Ma Jingyuan to cry, saying that he was beaten by his sister, and when he was talking, Ma Xiaofang pushed open the door and entered the house, and pressed Ma Jingyuan to the ground and beat him fatly.

Ma Xiaofang was originally taller than Ma Jingyuan, coupled with Ma Jingyuan's deliberate performance, Ma Xiaofang was really majestic, beat Ma Jingyuan to a nosebleed, and claimed to kill this little lady. After such a fuss, of course, the banquet broke up unhappily, and the next day the Hou father and son got up to say goodbye, and naturally the family affairs were not mentioned at all.

Afterwards, Ma Guoxiang and his wife fell seriously ill, and Ma Guoxiang was bedridden for half a month before he got up to move, so that Ma Jiyuan, the eldest brother who was far away in HN, rushed back to visit his father. In the end, under the persuasion of her mother's cry, her father's anger, and her brother's bitter words, Ma Xiaofang told the truth.

If you want to marry, you will marry Zhu Hongsan, and at first the family didn't know who it was, and Ma Mingyuan remembered that it was the clan in the county, and the lieutenant Fengguo who touched the porcelain lady who hit the door. This time, Ma Guoxiang did not scold his daughter, but fainted directly, and immediately asked Ma Xiaofang to lock him in the boudoir after waking up, saying that he would discount his legs when he ran out.
