Chapter 9: The Disaster of Innocence
The Li family cleaned up Zhou Tong's moth as they wished, but the county lord did not move Ma Xiancheng again, Li Ling originally thought that the county order had a way to check the accounts, but this time he had to completely subdue the Ma County order, but he didn't expect the other party to do it at all.
When he didn't understand what he meant, Xiao Qi reported something to him and solved the doubts in his heart.
"Young Master, I heard that the grandmaster of this mansion has come to the Cheng family in Ma County, and the scholars in the county are all discussing going to visit the old man, I don't know if you will also go over, young master?"
How can the eldest young master say that he is also a Xiucai personally ordered by the grandmaster, as a disciple, he should go to pay a visit, Xiao Qiyi got the news and told Li Ling in a hurry.
Master. The adults presided over the annual examination and the scientific examination, and all those who were admitted to the examination during his tenure were counted as his disciples, which was a very huge connection.
The grandmaster is an official of the third grade, as long as he speaks, how dare the magistrate dare to move the county. Or in the eyes of the prefectural order, it may be easier for a subordinate with a handle to control.
Li Daxiucai originally didn't want to have anything to do with the Ma family, but Ma Wencai actually sent him an invitation card with a dead face, asking him to go to the Ma family to meet the master in two days.
Li Ling understood the truth after a little thought, the Ma family is a fox and a fake tiger, the scholars in the entire county and even the county order the Ma family have been invited, everyone sees the intimate relationship between the grandmaster and them, and everyone must have concerns if they want to move the Ma family in the future, so that the status of the Ma family can be deep-rooted.
"Young Master, you better go over and take a look, after all, there is still the face of the clan here, and we can't afford to provoke it!" Xiao Qi said a little hurriedly, the eldest young master can't be confused in this matter, if he offends those big people, the Li family will not have a good time in the future.
Li Ling nodded quickly, he understood the meaning of Xiao Qi's words, although he was not very happy, but he still had to go over to socialize. At the very least, you can't let others gossip about your disrespect for the grandmaster.
The Ma family was really extravagant, inviting all the people they could invite, and there were groups of people in the house, not only many scholars, but even some local squires and celebrities.
The gift-giving queue formed a long line, and Xiao Qi took a lot of effort to hand over his gifts.
"Young Master, the pomp of the Ma family is really big enough!" Xiao Qi muttered quietly while wiping the sweat on his face, his eyes kept staring, and he didn't know what he was looking for.
Li Ling ignored his complaints, and quietly walked to a remote corner, watching the servants of the Ma family keep busy, thinking about when he would be able to leave.
The big man always appeared last, and after everyone had dealt with all their own affairs, the grandmaster came to the front from behind the scenes, and he was accompanied by the county commander of the free horse.
Ma Wencai ordered all kinds of dishes to be placed in the courtyard, and everyone sat down one after another, chatting while eating.
Li Xiucai pulled Xiao Qi's sleeve, and the two walked to a table far away from the grandmaster and sat down, he didn't listen to what the grandmaster and Ma Xiancheng were talking about.
Xiao Qi was not very interested in the food on the table, he paid attention to the actions of the people in front of him, and his face became worse and worse, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Big young master, Ma Xiancheng wants to marry his daughter to the son of the grandmaster!" Xiao Qi said anxiously to Li Ling.
"Let it be!". Li Ling didn't want to care about these things, now he just wanted to finish the meal and go back.
Xiao Qi's face became even more sad, and he had no way to tell his thoughts, so he was in a daze like that for a while.
When the wine was thick, the triumphant Ma Xiancheng also called out his daughter and asked her to come over to greet her future father-in-law and toast her husband.
Miss Ma is very beautiful, because of her shyness, her delicate little face has become very ruddy, and she walked into the courtyard under the guidance of her brother Ma Wencai. In the end, she is everyone's best girl, and she attracted everyone's appreciation as soon as she appeared.
The Grandmaster was quite satisfied with his future daughter-in-law, and subconsciously nodded at Ma Xiancheng, but the young man sitting next to him only had Miss Ma in his eyes. Beauty is like jade, and he is a little obsessed with it.
Miss Ma sat with her father for a while, and then left, accompanied by two little maids.
When everyone was a little reluctant, Miss Ma suddenly shook her shoulders, but she spit out all the glasses of wine she had just drunk.
"Hurry up and get the doctor over!". Ma Wencai made a decision, and quickly ordered the two maids to help their sister to a table and sit down, she is the treasure of the Ma family, and her father will point to her when he is promoted and rich in the future.
The medical forest master who came to the banquet hurriedly came over, and after greeting Ma Wencai, he began to diagnose Miss Ma's pulse.
When Ma Wencai saw that the person who came was actually Dr. Wang, he was overjoyed.
The old doctor is a famous doctor in the county, and with decades of medical experience, it is naturally foolproof to have him to help.
As soon as the old doctor touched Miss Ma's pulse, his face became cloudy, as if he had really encountered a difficult illness.
"What is wrong with my sister? You're giving me a good word! Ma Wencai saw that the old doctor was hesitant and began to urge.
Something happened to Miss Ma, and the guests all gathered around, especially the master and son, they were even more concerned in their hearts, and they kept muttering in their hearts, what the hell is going on, don't Miss Ma have any hidden illness.
"Congratulations to my uncle, I congratulate my aunt, you are going to be a father!". When Dr. Wang saw the grandmaster's son approaching, he suddenly spoke. There was no joy or anger on his face.
The old doctor despised their father and son in his heart, and what kind of grandmaster he was, the face of the scholar made you lose everything, although Miss Ma will be your son's person sooner or later, but he can't be so anxious.
"She, she's really pregnant, and it's not me who handled it!". The son of the grandmaster immediately understood, but when he looked up, he saw that everyone was staring at him, this time it was too embarrassing, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
He knew very well that he and Miss Ma had only met for the first time, and he had only heard of her name before.
"Ma Xiancheng, look at the good things you have done, do you want your son's fame anymore?" The grandmaster shouted hoarsely, he took a huge risk to help Ma Wencai get a reputation for showing talent, he originally thought that his son could get a beautiful daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect this incident to happen again halfway.
The Grandmaster left the Ma family angrily, and a good marriage banquet ended hastily, and Li Ling hurriedly returned home.
This is just a matter of the Ma family, he is just a spectator at best, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to the Li family, Xiao Qi was at a loss to tell him a shocking news that Miss Ma's stomach was actually handled by him.
Xiao Qi, as a slave born in the Li family, usually wins everyone's trust, and usually works quickly, and even the Zhou family likes to send him to do things.
Zhou's hobby is to go to the cloth shop in the city to buy cloth and let people make clothes for her, Xiao Qi usually follows as a long entourage, and when Zhou picks out the fabric, Xiao Qi will bring the fabric back to Li's house.
Coincidentally, Miss Ma also has such a hobby, and the two of them know each other after coming and going, and slowly the relationship becomes deeper and deeper, and in the end everything falls into place.
What Xiao Qi didn't expect was that Miss Ma was pregnant with his child and was exposed in public.
"Young Master, you want a way to save us!" Xiao Qi knew that the matter was urgent, and he couldn't hide it, so he just begged Li Ling to think of a foolproof plan for him.
"Nonsense, you are confused, you actually did such a reluctant thing, how could the Ma family let go so easily? Even the Grandmaster won't forgive you! ”。 Li Xiucai began to complain loudly.
Neither Ma Xiancheng nor the Grandmaster are good at stubble, let them know that it was a slave of the Li family who did something unscrupulous with Miss Ma, can they let Xiao Qi go? I'm afraid that even the Li family will be involved.
"You go quickly, go to the salt field today, say goodbye to your father and leave Yingtianfu, go as far as you can, and come back after two years!" There is only one way to do it now, and only in this way can Xiao Qi be preserved.
"Young Master, I can't go, if I leave like this, then what will happen to my father, what about the Li family, what about Miss Ma? I can't bother you! ”。 Xiao Qi said excitedly.
Although he knew that the eldest young master had come up with this idea entirely for his own good, he couldn't leave, let alone let his relatives take responsibility.
"What? What can he do with your father when you're gone? As for the Li family, how can I say that I am also a famous person, as long as they know that the matter has nothing to do with the Li family, they will not do anything to us casually, as for Miss Ma, the tiger poison does not eat children, you don't have to worry! ”。 Li Ling explained loudly to Xiao Qi.
He was indeed a little angry, and the Ma family came back to his senses and began to inquire about the truth of the matter, but he was afraid that it would not be long before they found the clues.
"Oh no, young master, Ma Xiancheng came here with a large group of people, not only are there officials, but also many members of the Ma family, all of them are young and strong young men, you better pay attention as soon as possible!" Xiao Qi was hesitating when Linglong came with news.
"It's happened!". Xiao Qi suddenly shivered, a little overwhelmed.
