Summary of the previous chapter: Bei Mingxue is interested in Ma Xiaoquan, and Ma's mother can see it, but Ma Xiaoquan is emotional, it's really hard to say

+++++++++++++++++++++++++ night, Ma Xiaoquan came to Ma's father's study and talked to Ma's father about what had happened recently.

Ma Xiaoquan is very curious about the development of the Ma family for more than a thousand years, especially in the last 100 years, before he heard Mrs. Ma mention, saying that the Ma family was still a prosperous hermit family at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because of some reasons, the more it goes, the more it declines, Ma Xiaoquan asked Mrs. Ma the reason, Mrs. Ma shook her head and did not speak

Father Ma smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "What my mother said is indeed true, my Ma family was indeed strong at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but because of the appearance of Zhu Yuanzhang, our Ma family completely declined."

"Zhu Yuanzhang? Hmm~~ Could it be that our Ma family and Zhu Yuanzhang are tied together to help him fight the country? ”

Father Ma hummed softly and said, "That's not it, I heard my grandfather say that our Ma family was rich at that time, and our Ma family had a friend named Shen Wansan." ”

"Shen Wansan?" Ma Xiaoquan was slightly stunned and said: "I see, it is said that Shen Wansan supported Zhu Yuanzhang to destroy Yuan Jianming, but who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang regretted it afterwards, not only confiscated most of Shen Wansan's family property, but also harmed him."

Father Ma nodded and continued: "Hey, and almost half of Shen Wansan's family wealth at that time was from my Ma family." ”

"What? My horse's? Ma Xiaoquan was taken aback.

"Yes, in the past, Emperor Taizu invaded Suzhou City, Shen Wansan, in order to survive, took the initiative to cling to Emperor Taizu to survive, and promised to help him build a third of the city, but if the city is built, the city will be built, who wants this Shen Wansan to privately advocate to reward the soldiers, which can anger Taizu all of a sudden, so he was sent to Yunnan."

Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "With Shen Wansan's means, even if he is assigned to Yunnan, he should live well, right?" ”

Father Ma said: "This is true, that is, because he is still living a chic life, it caused the final killing disaster, although Emperor Taizu did not hold his clansmen accountable after Shen Wansan's death, but the decline of the Shen family was completely implemented." ”

"Well, then what does our Ma family have to do with Shen Wansan?"

Father Ma shook his head and said: "The first generation of family masters didn't know, the world knew that Shen Wansan could make money and would make money, and it was rumored that he had a cornucopia and could gather thousands of dollars every day, but I didn't know that those so-called thousands of dollars were actually my Ma family." ”

Ma Xiaoquan groaned: "Then why does my Ma family want to cooperate with Shen Wansan?" ”

Father Ma shook his head: "I don't know about this, and there is no record in the genealogy, but when I was a child, when my grandfather was still alive, he told me that when Shen Wansan was young, he had made a contract with the then head of my Ma family. ”

"Contract? What contract? ”

Father Ma recalled for a moment, squinted his eyes and said: "I can't remember what it is, probably well, it should be my Ma family to help him and make him the richest man in Jiangnan." ”

"The richest man in Jiangnan?"

"Yes, it seems that Shen Wansan came to do business, and my Ma family provided money for him to use, and when he made money, Shen Wansan gave my Ma family dividends."

"Oh? And such a thing? Interesting, interesting" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and said in his heart My Ma family is really ahead of their time, I learned to play investment so early, well, investment is a matter of winning and losing, and there are naturally risks.

"And then?" Ma Xiaoquan asked again.

"Later, because of Shen Wansan's incident, my Ma family also lost a lot, in this world, although money can't be said to be omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible."

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, he agreed with Ma's father's point of view in the second half of the sentence.

"There is one more thing~" Father Ma paused for a moment and said, "I also knew by accident It is said that before Shen Wansan rewarded the soldiers, he met a 'master', and the 'master' instructed him and made him 'generous', so Shen Wansan would commit this taboo." ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "In this way, Ruiqing, do you suspect that the so-called 'master' is actually a member of the Zi family?" ”

"There is a great possibility~" Father Ma nodded, a little indignant, "Although the hidden wealthy family does not participate in the disputes of the world, their thirst for money is stronger than that of those powerful families. The Zi family saw Shen Wansan's growth and saw the benefits that my Ma family had obtained, and they were jealous, so Zhu Yuanzhang's hatred of the rich murdered Shen Wansan. ”

"Then how did the Hua family and the Hua family decline?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.

"The Hua family is also interesting to say, the Hua family has a family and a separate family, the relationship between the family has always been not very harmonious, the decline of the Hua family, in general, they themselves are constantly fighting, and then the Zi family took advantage of the void and led Emperor Taizu to destroy their clan"

"Well, I see~" Ma Xiaoquan sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the chaos of the Hua family's duty has not been resolved.

"What about my Ma family?" Ma Xiaoquan asked again.

"The decline of Shen Wansan has caused my Ma family to suffer heavy losses, and our Ma family has lost its former style since then, the head of the family at the time, uh~ that is, my grandfather saw that the situation was wrong, and gradually faded out of the circle of wealthy families, and entered the imperial court, which barely kept the blood of our Ma family."

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said approvingly: "I have to say, Ruiqing, your grandfather still has a high vision." ”

Father Ma nodded and arched his hand: "Thank you for the compliments of the first generation of family heads." ”

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Grandma wrote to you saying that I am the first head of the family, I guess you still have a trace of concern in your heart, let you see something, you should understand everything." ”

Ma Xiaoquan said, took out a manuscript from his arms, and handed it to Ma's father.

Father Ma took the manuscript, opened it, and said in surprise: "Isn't this the genealogy of my Ma family?" ”

"That's right, it's the genealogy of my Ma family, this genealogy is grandma, uh~~ that is, your mother personally copied it, the Baiyi characters in it, Ruiqing, how much do you know?"

Father Ma shook his head with a wry smile, and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I only know very little." ”

Ma Xiaoquan sighed and said: "It's okay, I'm here, I can tell you about the content of this manuscript, and then let you see someone, well, it's a person, Xiaoshuang, come out and meet the current head of the Ma family."

As soon as Ma Xiaoquan's voice fell, a light blue flame slowly rose from Ma Xiaoquan's back erection neck.

The flames gradually solidified, turning into a girl-like flame face.

"My mother~" Father Ma was startled, and quickly pulled out the saber on his waist and looked at Xiaoshuang in horror.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoshuang won't hurt you~ Xiaoshuang, don't be scary, come out~"

"Woo" Xiaoshuang slowly rose up, completely separated from Ma Xiaoquan.

Father Ma's eyes widened, and he said after a while: "The first generation of the family master, it is really the first generation of the family master, it is great, my Ma family's revival is hopeful, hopeful"
