Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan's construction of Cao Cao was to intimidate the nephew of the trial of the honor, but Cao Cao did not do this, but recruited An to judge the honor with the strategy of adding officials to the lord and giving rewards to the marquis. Seeing the general trend, Xianrong had to compromise and surrender to Cao Cao, and secretly opened a city gate to welcome Cao Cao into the city. With Neiying Jurong, Cao Cao successfully took Yecheng and killed the judge. Cao Cao decided to contain the base camp in Yecheng, and Ma Xiaoquan also had a plan to move the family to Yecheng

+++++++++++++++++++++In early November of the ninth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (204 AD), Hua Yuexin moved his family from Xuchang to Yecheng at the request of Ma Xiaoquan, the prime minister.

At this time, Yecheng, after Cao Cao's two months of rest and pacification, has been much more stable.

Yecheng is a metropolis, and is located in Jizhou, Jizhou has a large population, population mobility is also large, Cao Cao in order to retain the floating population, continue to use the strategy of tuntian, so that the foreign floating population can see that they can farm and harvest grain, and they will slowly stay.

However, it has not been long since winter, and the people have not much work to do, so after discussing with Lord Shangxian, Cao Cao decided to take advantage of these days to let the people go out to prepare the land.

Although the ground in winter is more frozen, but if the people find something to do, they will not have too many complaints, not to mention, Cao Cao's credit after entering Yecheng is not bad, as long as he promises, he can basically cash in.

Yecheng, the new Ma family compound.

Ma Xiaoquan led Hua Yuexin and other female dependents to wander around the new compound.

"Reorganize here and here, right, right, don't do that, put it there"

Although holding the child in his arms, but Hua Yuexin has not been idle, Diao Chan and others are by Hua Yuexin's side, nodding their heads constantly, and when they encounter some disagreeing opinions, they will consult Mrs. first before making a decision.

However, because there are seven ladies, and each lady has a different personality, Ma Xiaoquan specially approved these ladies to tidy up their bedrooms according to their own preferences.

When the ladies heard this, they were very happy.

Xiu'er said: "I want to tidy up my bedroom, Xianggong, can you give Lan'er a place to practice martial arts?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, pointed to a bedroom with a vacant space in front of the door and said: "That bedroom is yours, how to organize, you look at it, think about it and let the people get it."

Xiao Ma Lan blinked and dragged the corners of Ma Xiaoquan's robe with big eyes, and said delicately: "Daddy, Lan'er still needs weapons." ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed and hugged little Malan and kissed her tender face: "Okay, good, daddy give"

Ma Lan pouted and covered her little tender face: "Daddy's beard is so tied"

Diao Chan said: "Xianggong, Xiao'er also has to learn martial arts, but Cicada thinks that Xiao'er can't only learn martial arts, but also know medical skills, otherwise if you are injured in the future, you won't be able to treat yourself, and it will be troublesome."

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "Then arrange you next door to live next door to Xiu'er, no opinion, right?" ”

Diao Chan and Xiu'er glanced at each other and laughed happily.

Miaoyu and Ling'er looked at each other and said noisily: "Xianggong, we also want to live together"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Okay, Miaoyu and Ling'er, you both like to be quiet, so is it okay to put you in a quiet bedroom?" ”

When the second daughter heard this, she quickly nodded her head.

Because Hua Lin wanted to live with her sister Hua Yuexin, Ma Xiaoquan arranged the two sisters to be neighbors.

As for Tsing Yi, a separate bedroom is required. Considering that Tsing Yi is a descendant of the Baiyi clan and shoulders the heavy responsibility of continuing the Baiyi clan, Ma Xiaoquan arranged Tsing Yi to be his neighbor.

After the distribution was completed, the ladies took the children and went to tidy up their bedrooms.

Seeing the happy appearance of the women, Ma Xiaoquan also smiled happily.

At this time, Hua Yuexin hugged the pony and turned back.

"Ma'am, why are you back again?"

Hua Yuexin said: "Xianggong, we have moved to a new house, do we want to set up a banquet?" ”

When Ma Xiaoquan heard it, his wife felt that this idea was good.

After these years of "scoundrel hard work", the Ma family established by Ma Xiaoquan can be regarded as having a little fame among the wealthy families, firstly, because of Ma Xiaoquan's political status, that is, the "Han God Immortal Marquis" given by the little emperor, and secondly, because Ma Xiaoquan is closer to Cao Cao, the most powerful force today.

Among the wealthy families, whether they are wealthy families who do not participate in career disputes, or the noble class who want to become bigger, they all have a strong interest in this newly rising wealthy family.

As soon as the invitation of the Ma family was issued, many wealthy families expressed their willingness to come.

The first to reply to Ma Xiaoquan was the Hua family.

When receiving the letter from the Hua family, Hua Yuexin will inevitably fluctuate, in order to deal with the separation, the family did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to marry Yuan Shao's son, of course, the result was not implemented, because something happened in the middle, but anyway, Hua Yuexin has always had a grudge against this approach of the family.

This time, the Hua family was the first to write a letter, and took the initiative to admit the original mistake in the letter, which was regarded as giving Hua Yuexin an explanation, and at the same time, indirectly acknowledging that Hua Yuexin had become the hostess of the Ma family.

With the family's recognition, Hua Yuexin's mood suddenly improved a lot, and in the next two days, Hua Yuexin was busy arranging the banquet as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.

The second person to reply was Lu Xian. In order to show his "sincerity", Lu Xian sent Yuan Fang to send the letter.

Unfolded the reply to Ma Xiaoquan and asked Yuan Fang with a smile: "So, your son-in-law can't come because of something, so you have to take the bag?" ”

Yuan Fang said respectfully: "Master Ma atons for his sins"

"Call the Immortal!"

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, and changed his words with a red face: "Lord Shangxian, my son-in-law does have something important to do, so I was specially ordered to come, in order to congratulate Lord Shangxian on moving to a new house, my son-in-law specially sent some treasures, and I hope that Lord Shangxian will accept it with a smile." ”

The maintenance of the family requires money, which Ma Xiaoquan knows better than anyone else, so as soon as Yuan Fang said, Ma Xiaoquan did not refuse, and directly ordered someone to accept the treasure sent by Lu Xian.

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: This demon Dao is really cheeky, why didn't he even shirk twice?

The third person to come to the news is the separation of the Hua family.

Unfolding the letter, Ma Xiaoquan smiled when he saw it, and said to Hua Yuexin: "Madam, do you guess who the Hua family will send?" ”

Hua Yue thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It can't be a bright flower, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan clapped his hands and said, "Madam, you are too smart, that's right, it's a bright flower!" ”

Tsing Yi interjected: "Bright flowers? Is that the guy we scratched the soles of? How dare he come? ”

Hua Yuexin "coughed" twice, signaling Tsing Yi to be quiet, Tsing Yi stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak.

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I'm not afraid of him being rapid, I'm not afraid of him slipping, I'm afraid that he won't come, hehe, it's good to come, I have to take this opportunity to find out about his Hua family's affairs in Yizhou."

Hua Yuexin frowned and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Does Xianggong have the intention of going to Yizhou?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan grinned: "That's what I mean, hehe"

A few days later, many wealthy families who received invitations replied, and because they could not come because of the long distance, they sent some treasures to congratulate, and those who were close said that they must come

Seeing that the family treasury was full of all kinds of rare treasures, Ma Xiaoquan's saliva flowed out.

"This suck~~" Ma Xiaoquan shook his hand and held a golden wine glass, and said excitedly: "Lao Tzu dares to say that Lao Tzu's current treasure is definitely not as bad as the National Museum"

On the side, Ling'er asked, "Xianggong, what is the National Museum?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while and said, "It's a place to put all kinds of rare treasures." ”

"Oh~~"

Hua Yuexin leaned over and whispered, "Xianggong, how long will we live in Yecheng?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "Madam is really smart, I don't dare to say it in a short time, there are still fifteen or sixteen years." ”

"And what about fifteen or sixteen years from now?"

Ma Xiaoquan frowned, and said in his heart: If it is true, then the family I have established now should continue My next stop is to go to the end of the Ming Dynasty to see, in this case, it is better to let them move to the vicinity of Yuyang

Ma Xiaoquan said: "If we can, we will move to the vicinity of Yuyang County in the future." ”

When Ling'er heard that it was Yuyang, she danced happily: "Oh, you can go home."

Hua Yuexin asked, "Why did Xianggong move to Yuyang?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

"Hmph~~"

After a few more days, the Ma family compound welcomed some foreign guests. Although some people were very unhappy when they saw Ma Xiaoquan's wife's eyes, they didn't stretch out their hands to hit the smiling person, not to mention that these people didn't come empty-handed, so Ma Xiaoquan endured it.

In private, Ma Xiaoquan called Liang Long and assigned him the security task during the family banquet.

Liang Long was the most loyal to Ma Xiaoquan, and without thinking about it, he said that he would "guarantee the completion of the task", Ma Xiaoquan laughed and patted Liang Long's shoulder

While the two were discussing, Zhao Er came over and said respectfully: "Master, please see the head of the Sun family of the Jiangxi Hao family outside the door." ”

"Oh? Jiangxi Haojia? The head of the Sun family? ”

While pondering, Ma Xiaoquan heard hahaha laughter not far away.

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoquan smiled.

"Holy shit, it's this guy!"

Ma Xiaoquan tidied up a little and walked up quickly.

As soon as he turned the corner, Ma Xiaoquan saw a man with a fat head and big ears.

Since the Hua family's bracelet gift, Ma Xiaoquan and this person have never seen each other, although Ma Xiaoquan feels that this guy is a little unreliable, but overall, this person is still very righteous and heroic.
