[273] The responsibility of the head of the household
Summary of the previous chapter: The mysterious woman who broke into the house and Ma Xiaoquan went to Wushan once. Afterwards, Ma Xiaoquan felt strange, so he took the initiative to "confess" his "crime" to his wife Hua Yuexin, but he didn't expect to come back and find that the mysterious woman was long gone
++++++++++++="What about you in Tsing Yi?" ”
Tsing Yi came over: "If Tsing Yi sleeps next to Xiang Gong, Tsing Yi dares to guarantee that Xiang Gong will never get up tomorrow!" ”
Ma Xiaoquan was frightened into a cold sweat by Tsing Yi's words, and didn't dare to say more
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan got up early in the morning.
The banquet will last for three days, the first day yesterday, and there are still two days, as the head of the family, Ma Xiaoquan must be able to lead by example and get up early to welcome guests.
"Hehe, good morning" There were wealthy nobles who got up early, and Ma Xiaoquan greeted them one by one.
Excellent service, coupled with the head of the family personally greeting each other, these wealthy nobles are naturally very happy.
When everyone was almost up, Ma Xiaoquan announced that the banquet would continue.
On the second day of the banquet, Ma Xiaoquan also played a treasure appreciation meeting just like the former flower family wearing bracelet gifts.
However, compared with the treasure appreciation conference of the Hua family wearing bracelet gifts, the scale of the Ma family's treasure appreciation is slightly smaller. However, although the sparrow is small and complete, although the scale is not as grand as the treasure appreciation of the flower family wearing a bracelet gift, but the rare treasures on display are not inferior to the bracelet gift in terms of quality and quantity.
"This is" Ma Xiaoquan's eyes widened, holding his son Ma Xiao in one hand, and carefully twisting a gold leaf with the other.
"Hehe" exhibited this gold leaf is a scholar disciple, he saw that Ma Xiaoquan was interested in this gold leaf, so the old king sold melons and said: "Lord Shangxian, not bragging, this gold leaf is a little old, how to say that this gold leaf was used by Emperor Gao in the past" [Emperor Gao refers to Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty people called Liu Bang Emperor Gao, and we usually call Liu Bang the ancestor of the Han Dynasty] Ma Xiaoquan sighed, returned the gold leaf to this scholar disciple, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you sure Liu Bang used it?" ”
The disciple of the scholar clan patted his chest and promised, "I will never deceive the Immortal Lord!" ”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and asked, "You can't sell it?" ”
The children of the Shi clan shook their heads.
"Do you want to change it?"
The children of the Shi clan still shook their heads.
Ma Xiaoquan pursed his lips and said in his heart: Yes, it seems to be a good baby.
"Hehe" Ma Xiaoquan patted the shoulder of the child of the Shi clan, "Okay, you play slowly, I'll go over there and have a look." ”
Ma Xiaoquan was just about to turn around and leave, but the disciple of the scholar clan stopped Ma Xiaoquan and said respectfully: "Lord Shangxian is slow." ”
"Anything else?"
The children of the scholar clan nodded: "I will give this golden leaf to Lord Shangxian, and it can be regarded as making friends with Lord Shangxian." ”
Ma Xiaoquan laughed when he heard it, oh, if you don't sell or exchange your feelings, you want to take this thing and have a relationship with me, you are a thief enough.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Since Brother Tai is so generous, if I don't accept it, how can I be embarrassed, thank you!" After speaking, Ma Xiaoquan took the gold leaf.
The disciple of the scholar clan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud: "Lord Shangxian is really a bold person, haha, in Xia Jiangdong Lu Miao, the words are clear." ”
"Koto? The Lu family? Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be a famous big family in Jiangdong, and I have admired it for a long time." ”
Lu Ming smiled and said modestly: "Where is it, I am just a cousin of the Lu family, the immortal master is powerful, and he is already an immortal marquis."
The two politely talked for a while, they were acquainted, Ma Xiaoquan didn't know what Lu Ming had in mind, at least he thought that it would be very beneficial to have this opportunity to get acquainted with the Lu family in Jiangdong, because in the follow-up time, Ma Xiaoquan should go to Jiangdong and participate in the Battle of Chibi.
Not far away, Hua Wuxing saw Ma Xiaoquan and Lu Miao talking happily, so he came over cheekily.
Lu Miao is a scholar family, and the Hua family is a wealthy family, the two families have nothing in common to discuss, and without saying a few words, Lu Miao left under the pretext of excuses.
After Lu Miao left, Hua Wuxing said to Ma Xiaoquan: "Lord Shangxian can give out an item at my Hua family's bracelet gift in the past?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's true, I gave a gold square coin to Yue'er's maid at the beginning. ”
Hua Wuxing smiled, took out a coin from his arms, and shook it in front of Ma Xiaoquan's eyes: "Lord Shangxian can say this thing?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan's eyes froze, and he smiled: "It's exactly this!" ”
Hua Wuxing nodded, suddenly flipped his hand, palmed up, held the coin in his hand, and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan.
"Fifth Master Hua, what are you?"
Hua Wuxing nodded: "A maidservant, she shouldn't have something that doesn't match her identity, besides, this thing can only be owned because of the Immortal Lord!" ”
Ma Xiaoquan was light on the surface, but he was very excited in his heart, because with the gold square money in the hands of Hua Wuxing, Ma Xiaoquan had a total of two.
On the information left by Huang Jingming, Ma Xiaoquan learned that the gold square money is the secret key to open the solar recorder, and this secret is currently known only to Ma Xiaoquan.
"Hehe" Ma Xiaoquan gently took the gold Quartet money from Hua Wuxing's hand, played with it twice, raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Then thank you Hua Wuye!" ”
Hua Wuxing laughed and said: "Lord Shangxian is really welcome, my Han virtue must be humble in everything, Lord Shangxian is so bold, it is indeed different."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and didn't speak, but said in his heart: Nonsense, you hypocritical ancients, you obviously want to, but you still push back and hinder the hypocrisy, you Ma Ye and I are modern, we have one thing to say, don't play false.
Hua Wuxing saw Ma Xiaoquan smiling and silent, thinking that he was thinking about something, so he bowed down and retreated.
When Ma Xiaoquan came back to his senses, he found that Hua Wuxing had quietly walked away.
This style of spending five elements makes Ma Xiaoquan feel very comfortable, as the so-called "retreat at the right time", which is the case. Hua Wuxing can do gifts without inviting credit, and it does have the demeanor of everyone.
It's just that Ma Xiaoquan doesn't quite understand why the Hua family rejects the scholar class so much?
You must know that the three major forces in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were scholars, eunuchs, and relatives. The eunuchs and relatives were more fierce in the time of Emperor Linghuan, and as for the Wei and Jin dynasties later in this era, it completely became a scene where the scholar family was dominant.
Ma Xiaoquan originally intended to take back the solar recorder and leave, but now the thing has not been found, but he has established a family in this era and became the head of the family.
With the responsibility on his shoulders, Ma Xiaoquan's mentality has undergone some changes, although he knows that he will leave one day, although Ma Xiaoquan knows that no family can last long, but he can take advantage of his own era, during this time, Ma Xiaoquan will still want to develop the family he has established.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Ma Xiaoquan decided that the Ma family in this era should not only take the route of the wealthy family, but also enter the scholar class.
Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head and hugged Ma Xiao, teasing his son: "Son, dad will find you a daughter-in-law, do you want it?" ”
Ma Xiao is still very young, although he doesn't understand what a daughter-in-law is, but the growth environment he is in, as well as her mother Diao Chan's usual education, so that Xiao Ma Xiao quickly has an answer.
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan spoke, Ma Xiao slapped his little slap and said: "I want to be like my father, I have a mother, a moon mother (referring to the flower moon heart), and Ling'er Niang, and oh oh oh and a lot of mothers"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Okay, my son has the courage, haha"
Diao Chan was reluctant, walked over and snatched Ma Xiao up, complaining to Ma Xiaoquan: "Xianggong, the child is still young, how do you teach the child these improper things?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Not serious? No, my son doesn't have to lose to me as a father, right? ”
Diao Chan gave Ma Xiaoquan a white look: "You are poor"
At night, in Ma Xiaoquan's study.
Tsing Yi rubbed Ma Xiaoquan's shoulders and asked Ma Xiaoquan delicately: "Xianggong, what are the two coins in your hand for?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan made a backhand and hugged Tsing Yi into his arms: "Of course it's what I need from you."
Tsing Yi pouted and said: "Xianggong Laipi, don't tell the truth"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled, pinched Tsing Yi's crisp breasts, and said with his lips: "My lady in Tsing Yi, you don't know, you have two keys for the thing I need."
Before Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, Tsing Yi answered and asked: "Could it be that the thing that Xianggong is looking for, the key he said, are these two coins?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan grinned and acquiesced.
Tsing Yi tilted his head and asked, "In that case, how can this be used?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and lied: "Of course, like other keys, insert it and use it." ”
Tsing Yi sighed and stopped talking.
Seeing that Tsing Yi stopped talking, Ma Xiao said wholeheartedly: Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi, please forgive me for not telling you the truth, after all, you don't belong to our era, and there are some things that it is best for me to carry them alone.
After being silent for a while, Tsing Yi suddenly asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Xianggong, what does Xianggong mean about the matter of our alliance with Yuanfang?" ”
Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "Promise him, however, it can't make him feel too easy, after all, that Yuan Fang handed over the "Secret Record of the Hundred Arts Clan", which can be regarded as returning to the original owner."
"What does that mean?"
"Blame him again"
When Tsing Yi heard this, he laughed and laughed, and his chest trembled.
Ma Xiaoquan looked itchy and unbearable, and a hungry tiger pounced on the sheep and threw Tsing Yi to the ground
