Summary of the previous chapter: Hu Yanquan exclaimed Ma Xiaoquan's ability and asked that Nalatu and other Xiongnu warriors stay in the Ma family to serve the Ma family's clansmen. Ma Xiaoquan thought about it again and again, and Hu Yanquan agreed. At the same time, the eldest son Ma Xiaoyi was about to get married, and the third son Ma Zheng also had a crush, but what Ma Xiaoquan didn't expect the most was that his twin sisters, Hua, married the Hun warrior Naratu a year later

In October of the 21st year of Emperor Jian'an of the ++++++++++++++++++++++ Han Dynasty (216 AD), Cao Cao reinstated Sun Quan.

Since Ma Xiaoquan had already stated that he would no longer go far away, Cao Cao invited Ma Xiaoquan's third son, Ma Zheng, to go with him.

Previously, Ma Zheng, the stinky boy, was very single, and slept with the little yellow girl, the reason Ma Xiaoquan didn't ask much, and Ma Zheng's kid didn't elaborate, all in all, the little yellow girl has changed from the yellow flower girl to Ma Zheng's "private property" Seeing his son so single, Ma Xiaoquan was a little uneasy, so he asked the little yellow girl and Ma Zheng to follow Cao Cao on the expedition together, mainly to monitor Ma Zheng

In the first month of the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217 AD), the eldest son Ma Xiao got married, and the marriage object was the daughter of a cousin of the third cousin of Sima Yi's aunt's family. [Okay, a little tongue-twisting] The little girl looks average, although she is not a beautiful woman, but she exudes a sense of spirituality, and besides, this little girl likes to study medicine very much.

Diao Chan likes this daughter-in-law very much, firstly, someone can study medical skills with her, and secondly, she can also help herself to "tune~~ teach" his son.

It is said that the growth of a good man is inseparable from the women around him, and Diao Chan is convinced of this.

The main reason is Ma Xiaoquan, of course, because Ma Xiaoquan is a modern person, his respect for women is much higher than that of men in this era, in short, it is not at the same level at all.

When Ma Xiaoquan married Diao Chan, he promised Diao Chan that more than 20 years have passed since he respected her and loved her, and Ma Xiaoquan has always been like this.

Diao Chan feels very happy, she loves Ma Xiaoquan and loves her deeply. The so-called love house and Wu, as Ma Xiao's biological mother, Diao Chan naturally asked his son to become a man like his father.

As the next generation of the head of the Ma family, Ma Xiao knows that his responsibilities are heavy, the third brother Ma Zheng has gone with Cao Cao to fight against Sun Quan, and his father has handed over the decision-making power of many things to himself, Ma Xiao, who was still immersed in the happiness of the newlywed, was a little difficult to adapt to for a while.

After a month, Ma Xiao lost a lot of weight.

Seeing his son getting thinner and thinner, Diao Chan angrily found Ma Xiaoquan, "reprimanded" Ma Xiaoquan fiercely, and asked Ma Xiaoquan to properly ask about the Ma family's family affairs, after all, Ma Xiaoquan didn't look old at all from his face, and most of the nights he was still looking for a few daughters-in-law.

Ma Xiaoquan has been studying the Baiyi script and language these days, and at the same time studying the solar recorder.

Although Ma Xiaoquan wanted to refuse, looking at Diao Chan's eyes that could eat people, and Diao Chan's wife "threatened" that she would not let him at night, Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to "bite the bullet" and agree.

That night, Ma Xiaoquan held a family meeting and took back some of Ma Xiao's power.

The rights in his hands were taken back, and Ma Xiao was not only not happy, but depressed for several days.

Ma Xiao's newlywed daughter-in-law, Sima Yu, saw that her husband was depressed, and asked Ma Xiao worriedly for the reason.

In the evening, Sima Yu found Diao Chan and told her mother-in-law what her husband was thinking.

When Diao Chan heard this, he was surprised and happy. She originally thought that her son was still young and couldn't bear the responsibility of the head of the Ma family, but now that her daughter-in-law said her son's thoughts, Diao Chan couldn't help but be happy for her son's daring to take responsibility.

That night, Diao Chan took the initiative to find Ma Xiaoquan, and first fought with Ma Xiaoquan for "three hundred rounds", and determined that Ma Xiaoquan was tired and lay down, and Diao Chan mentioned the matter of his son Ma Xiao.

Although Ma Xiaoquan has the heart of time in his body, he will not get old, and his body is also very good, but hey is a whole-body exercise.

After being "beheaded under the horse" by Diao Chan's wife, Ma Xiaoquan was extremely sleepy, and he didn't pay attention to what his wife said, so he agreed to Diao Chan's wife's request.

The next day, Diao Chan "caught" Ma Xiaoquan for another hundred rounds, causing Ma Xiaoquan to keep flashing while walking.

During lunch, Hua Yuexin saw Xianggong's tired look and persuaded: "Xianggong, although you won't get old, you also have to pay attention to your body."

Ma Xiaoquan is also very depressed, when he took the initiative to find Diao Chan a few days ago, Diao Chan was still very reserved, why was he so crazy last night and this morning?

After thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan felt that the sentence that a woman is thirty like a tiger and forty is like a wolf is completely correct

Ma Xiao, who regained the decision-making power of the Ma family, launched a series of large-scale "reforms" in a young and vigorous manner, of course, every reform ultimately requires his father's decision.

Because the culture and education he received since childhood was different from that of outsiders, many of the reform measures proposed by Ma Xiao are very bold. Unfortunately, because it was too closed, Ma Xiao's reform plans were not finally approved by Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiao was not convinced, and asked his father what he was wrong?

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and told Ma Xiao that if you want to know the answer, then carry your baggage, wander outside and come back

In March of the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217 AD), Ma Xiao carried his burden alone in accordance with his father Ma Xiaoquan's Jianyì, left the Ma family compound, and went out to wander

At the same time, Cao Cao, who had an expedition against Sun Quan, also returned "triumphantly".

Back in Yecheng, Cao Cao came to see Ma Xiaoquan......

Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan was still young, Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Lord Shangxian, the years are ruthless, the years are ruthless."

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and asked: "Xiao Cao, your triumphant return, in fact, you are a little powerless against Sun Quan, who is twenty-six younger than you, right?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and agreed: "Yes, Lord Shangxian, if I have an immortal ability like you, how good would it be to be ten years younger?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and smiled: "Xiao Cao, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry, if I have the opportunity to grow old slowly, I would rather be like this"

Cao Cao was curious: "Could it be that Lord Shangxian thinks it's not good to be young all the time?" There's a lot of things you can do, huh? ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Xiao Cao, when you find out that you won't get old, will you still be so attentive to the things you need to do urgently?" The book you want to read in three days, will you finish it in three days Of course, being young also has the benefits of being young, for example, you can marry endless women, you can have unlimited time, but in this way you will become a **, a monster who makes his children unable to see the future, Xiao Cao, I say this, do you understand my feelings? ”

Cao Cao snorted, sighed and said, "Yes, I did think a little too simply."

Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, after you, who will you choose as your successor?" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It hasn't been decided yet, but in the general direction, I tend to be more stable." ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "I know, but you actually have a candidate in your heart, right?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Why isn't the Lord Shangxian?" It's just that the word 'era' that Lord Shangxian said should be able to be used, but because of this 'era', Lord Shangxian and I have made a choice, haven't we? ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "That's right, that's right, but Xiao Cao, I'm different from you" Ma Xiaoquan said, took out the solar recorder from his arms, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the solar recorder and looked at it carefully, then raised his head and asked, "Lord Shangxian, is this the object you talked about?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and smiled: "Yes, Xiao Cao, do you see any doorway?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and returned the solar recorder to Ma Xiaoquan: "Lord Shangxian, I have always had a doubt in my heart, who is you?" Or are you human? ”

Ma Xiaoquan put away the solar recorder and said: "This problem, I will tell you all at the appropriate time, Xiao Cao, presumably you have more than these questions, right?" ”

Cao Cao nodded.

"Okay, Ben Xian and you agreed, from now on I will give you time to think, all the questions you can think of are listed well, and when the time is right, I will answer them for you one by one."

"Well, okay, it's just Lord Shangxian, when is the right time?"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and did not answer Cao Cao's question again.

Cao Cao saw that Lord Shangxian was smiling and silent, smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, then I will prepare well By the way, Lord Shangxian, your son Ma Zheng, should not be able to come back in May." ”

"Oh? Why can you come back in May? ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "During the confrontation between myself and Sun Quan, Ma Sangongzi went out many times to help me find out the news, and this time when I came back, Ma Sangongzi said please let me tell you, he wants to go to Xiangyang"

"Xiangyang?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly, "This stinky boy is simply self-proclaimed, well, okay, let him be." ”

Cao Cao's estimation of the time was very accurate, and in May of the twenty-second year of Jian'an, Ma Zheng led the little yellow girl back to Yecheng.

On the night of his return, Ma Zheng had a deep conversation with his father Ma Xiaoquan for one night.
