+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Ming Dynasty Wanli 48th year of the eighth month of the eighth month (AD 1620).

Ma family.

Mrs. Ma looked at the gambling contract in her hand excitedly, and kept nodding her head while reading, although this gambling contract was actually only one page, but Mrs. Ma was very excited as if she had received a holy decree.

"Okay, great, it's really good" Mrs. Ma beckoned to Ma Xiaoquan, "Quan'er, come here~~"

Ma Xiaoquan respectfully walked in front of Mrs. Ma, bowed down and said, "Grandma, the whole child is here~~"

Mrs. Ma touched Ma Xiaoquan's head, and suddenly let out a howl.

Li Qinghan was startled, stepped forward and pushed Ma Xiaoquan away, protected him in front of Mrs. Ma, and reprimanded Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Xiaoquan, what bad ideas did you come up with to scare grandma?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was very helpless, he didn't expect his grandmother to cry suddenly.

Ma Xiaoquan came back to his senses, suddenly remembered something, and when he looked up, he found that Uncle Tong was nodding and looking at him.

"Uncle Tong"

Ma Tong hummed and whispered: "Quan'er, let Mrs. cry, these days, it's hard for Mrs.~"

Ma Xiaoquan leaned into Ma Tong's ear and asked, "Uncle Tong, the one who died before?" ”

Ma Tong responded: "The one who died is indeed the fourth young master, but the body has been frozen and placed in a secret place in my Ma family, so no one will know about it." ”

Ma Xiaoquan sighed.

Ma Tongdao: "Quan'er, in the future"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, put his arm around Ma Tong's shoulder, and whispered: "Uncle Tong, don't worry, although I am not born from this Ma family, I am willing to take responsibility for all the things of the Ma family."

Ma Tong nodded excitedly and hummed heavily

Li Qinghan comforted his grandmother carefully, raised his head and glanced at Ma Xiaoquan, and found that he and Uncle Tong got together and didn't know what to say, Ma Xiaoquan's expression didn't change much, but Uncle Tong was obviously a little excited.

"What's going on? Are they hiding something from me? Li Qinghan shook his head gently

Mrs. Ma exhaled a long breath, patted the back of Li Qinghan's hand and said, "Qinghan, grandma is fine." ”

Seeing that grandma was no longer crying, Li Qinghan nodded and asked, "Grandma, why did you cry suddenly?" ”

Mrs. Ma couldn't help but lie: "Quan'er won back the gambling contract, can you be unhappy as a grandmother?" ”

"Hmph~" Li Qinghan glanced at Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Ma Xiaoquan gambled with Lu Tian, what is not good to bet on, but I want to bet on the eldest lady and grandmother of the Zhang family, the eldest lady of the Zhang family has not passed the door yet, he is so good that the Zhang family later withdrew from the marriage, otherwise"

Mrs. Ma shook her head and said, "Quan'er is really a bastard in this matter, but having said that, the Zhang family suddenly withdrew from the marriage, and my Ma family's reputation has also suffered a lot of losses."

Li Qinghan sighed and comforted his grandmother: "Grandma, it's okay like this, the people of the Zhang family are too complicated, and my Ma family is just a military family, and when I get together with their gangs, I guess my grandfather will not be willing when he is alive." ”

Mrs. Ma said: "Yes, the old man just left too early."

Li Qinghan said: "Grandma, there is something in Qinghan, I don't know if I should say it?" ”

Mrs. Ma smiled: "Qinghan, if you have something to say, just say it directly, oh oh, are you a young man who you like?" Well, okay, tell grandma, grandma will be your matchmaker herself. ”

"Oh no~~" Li Qinghan's face flushed, "Grandma, it's not~"

"Oh? What's that? Old Madam Ma asked with a smile.

Li Qinghan looked up at Ma Xiaoquan, who was talking to Tu Dan not far away, and whispered to Mrs. Ma: "Grandma, I always feel that Ma Xiaoquan seems to have changed since he shaved his hair short. ”

Mrs. Ma's heart tightened, and she said: "Qinghan, all of you are here with good dignity, how can you say that you have changed into a different person?" ”

Li Qinghan said uncertainly: "I feel like grandma, Ma Xiaoquan used to beat or scold the people in the family, but now, you see, he and the earth egg have a lot of talk and laughter, and when he went out yesterday, he also took bones from the stove room and fed them to the wild dogs at the door."

Old Madam Ma said, "Oh? Did Quan'er really do this? ”

Li Qinghan nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes." ”

In fact, Li Qinghan also concealed a thing, if this thing came out of her mouth, it would be very embarrassing. After all, men and women are not kissed, not to mention that Ma Xiaoquan also touched his feet and treated his injured feet

"Qinghan, you're too worried, don't you think that Quan'er will get better?"

Li Qinghan sighed, and the appearance of her husband Ma Zhi immediately appeared in his mind.

Although he and Ma Zhi did not become husband and wife, Li Qinghan visited the church with Ma Zhi.

"Qinghan, do you miss Zhi'er again?"

Li Qinghan's eyes turned red and nodded lightly.

"Hey~" Mrs. Ma shook her head and said, "Qinghan, Ma Tong told you, in fact, if there is a suitable good man, it is worthy of your love~ Grandma"

"Grandma~" Li Qinghan interrupted Mrs. Ma and said, "Grandma, please don't say it again, Qinghan has made up his mind, and Qinghan is a member of the Ma family in this life." ”

Old Madam Ma sighed: "Why are you so hard, you have a good youth"

Li Qinghan turned his back, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, the next person suddenly came to report, saying that the Lu family asked to see him.

Old Madam Ma sneered and asked, "The Lu family?" But Lu Zhan, that shameless old thing? ”

The subordinate shook his head: "Back to the old lady's words, Lu Zhan didn't see it, but he saw five big boxes~"

"Huh?" When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, his mouth grinned, and he stepped forward to take Mrs. Ma's hand and said, "Grandma, the people of the Lu family can send money~"

Mrs. Ma lightly tapped Ma Xiaoquan's head: "Stinky boy, you know the money, okay, let's go and have a look with grandma." ”

"Okay~" Ma Xiaoquan wiped his hand on his clothes, took the lead in taking two steps, made a gesture of invitation to Mrs. Ma, and said while doing it: "Grandma, walk~~"

Mrs. Ma was speechless for a while, although this stinky boy is an impostor, his behavior is exactly the same as that of Quan'er before.
