The Ma brothers and sisters took Zhu Houwei to the southwest and walked seven or eight miles to a large courtyard. The yard looks relatively new and should not have been built for long. Lao Yuan opened the door, and a few people stood at the door to welcome the group in.

When he got inside, Zhu Houwei found that in fact, this courtyard was not luxurious, there was no carved fence and jade building, but it was sturdy and durable, and it looked relatively simple. As soon as you enter the gate, there is a flat land with a straw hut on it. There were sacks piled up on the flat ground, and some yellowish crystals leaked from the ground. There were torches around the courtyard, and Zhu Houwei found out by the light of the fire that these should be salt. It seems that Baidong Mountain still operates this private salt, no wonder it has the courage to dare to fight hard with the Japanese Kou. In these years, there are a group of outlaws under the hands of the smugglers who are smugglers of salt.

When he arrived at the lobby and sat down, a banquet was also set up here, Ma Dali invited Zhu Houwei to sit down, and then let people serve the food. A total of three tables were set up in the hall, and Zhu Yuan and another soldier sat at a table with the Ma brothers and sisters. There were only four people at the main table, and that was the Ma brothers and sisters and Zhu Houwei.

Less than a minute after sitting down, a subordinate brought the food and drinks. Although there are no expensive ingredients, there are a lot of big fish and meat. Ma Dali smiled and said to Zhu Houwei, "The dishes are simple, wait for it," Zhu Houwei shook his head slightly, "The family basically eats like this, there is nothing bad." ”

The three brothers and sisters of the Ma family who know Zhu Houwei's true identity, Ma Dali also knows the severity and does not call the prince. After listening to Zhu Houwei's words, Ma Yun said with a smile, "General Zhu said that I have all heard of this prefect or what the governor eats at the banquet." I heard that hundreds of ducks were used to make a dish, so I ate a duck tongue, and this fish also used dozens of fish, so I ate a piece next to the gills. General Zhu's family should have eaten better than this. Zhu Houwei glanced at her and said slowly, "The family is also relatively frugal, except for some abalone sent by others, it is generally chicken, duck and fish, and the way to eat is no different from ordinary people, and the skills of the chef are better at most." But the ingredients are not wasted. ”

The Ma brothers and sisters were stunned for a moment, and thought to themselves, "The big officials eat so luxuriously, you can't be worse than this." But looking at Zhu Houwei's expression doesn't look like a lie, not to mention that Zhu Houwei doesn't need to lie to them.

Zhu Houwei looked at the three of them and smiled slightly, and said, "Your body is not suitable for drinking, I respect you with this cup of wine, but before that, I won't drink this cup anymore." After speaking, he took a wine glass of about 1 tael and raised it to the three of them, and then drank it all. The wine is not very strong, it is estimated that it is in the early thirties, but I rarely drink it in this life, although it is only one or two, but it is also spicy, the face is tangled, from the throat to the stomach I feel that there is a fire burning again, and I hurriedly sandwiched a few mouthfuls of food, which eased up.

The three of them all smiled when they looked at him, and they basically looked like this when they drank for the first time, and when they saw Zhu Houwei's reaction like an ordinary person, they felt that the distance was a lot closer. Zhu Houwei raised his eyes and pretended to be angry, "I've drunk everything, what's the matter with the three of you not moving?" The three of them all smiled, raised their wine glasses and drank them all, and showed the empty wine glass to Zhu Houwei after drinking it to show their respect.

The wine was drunk, the food was eaten, and the four of them began to chat. Zhu Houwei was actually a little anxious in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he pretended to ask casually, "This Shandong ground suddenly has strict weapons management, I don't know what the three of you think?" Ma Dali frowned a little and said, "My brother and sister all guessed that something big would happen, but there is very little news now, and I can't see anything yet." My father also sent someone out to inquire, and tomorrow my father will come to visit General Zhu, so why don't I ask about it when my father comes. Zhu Houwei nodded, and didn't ask.

Their father's coming over was also expected by Zhu Houwei, after all, it was impossible to really let a person from the imperial court enter the base of Baidong Mountain. If the truth is found out, it will only be detrimental to them.

Ma Yun asked a lot of Zhu Houwei about what she had seen and heard about the capital, she had not been out of Shandong yet, and she was still very curious about the most prosperous capital in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houwei didn't say much else, but just introduced the Huangzhuang in detail. In Zhu Houwei's heart, the various profitable businesses of the World Chamber of Commerce are not what he is most proud of, but it is the Huangzhuang that leads a large number of poor families out of poverty to become well-off makes him the happiest.

The three of them had also heard of the name of Huangzhuang, but after hearing Zhu Houwei's specific introduction, they showed expressions of admiration and admiration from time to time. The people take food as the sky, and the wealth of the farm is what most people in the Ming Dynasty value the most.

Zhu Houwei looked at the appearance of the three of them, and his heart was secretly refreshed. So he asked, "What's going on with this Baidong Mountain, I heard people in Dengzhou say that being famous is a matter of the past few years, can you talk about it?" Ma Erli smiled and said, "My eldest brother and I are stupid, so it's better to let my little sister say it." Zhu Houwei turned his head to look at Ma Yun. Ma Sanniang smiled, with a little red cheeks after drinking, her eyes were a little moist, and her charming eyes made Zhu Houwei stunned. I only heard her crisp and refreshing voice, "Our ancestors also made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country, and later sealed the hereditary thousand households, and my father's generation slowly became a small flag." I heard my father say that the hundred households in the guard house did not deal with my father, and seeing that my father was strong and strong, and he would not scold him, he would find all kinds of reasons to suppress my father, and wanted my father to become an ordinary military household, so that he would plow the fields and work for the hundred households. My father was furious, so he took a few relatives to Baidong Mountain and laid grass. In the beginning, there were only twenty men, women, and children combined. My father took them to open fields in Baidong Mountain to grow grain, plus the game and fruits in the mountains, but they also persevered. At that time, my two elder brothers were still young, and I was born in Baidong Mountain. The 100 households didn't care when they saw my father leaving, and they didn't report it after occupying my family's ten acres of land. It's ridiculous to say that my dad is still a little flag in the Qishan Institute. In this way, year by year, the life of the surrounding military households is not as good as day by day. Many people fled to Baidong Mountain to join my father, and there were more and more people in Baidong Mountain. When there are more people, there will be more strength, but they are all dragged with their families, and there is not enough food in the mountains. So four years ago, we started a private salt business in Baidong Mountain. We don't raid houses or villages, so that's all we can do. Later, with this knife-edge business, the life of Baidong Mountain is getting better and better, and basically most people can eat enough. My dad and my two older brothers also made a name for themselves in Dengzhou. A lot of military households who couldn't survive came, and this time the pirates attacked, and many other guards also took advantage of the chaos to run to Baidong Mountain. We came out this time to collect more weapons, and we are going to make the salt business bigger and feed more people. ”

Ma Dali said with a smile: "General Zhu doesn't know, my little sister is the female Zhuge of our Baidong Mountain, and she was the one who proposed to do the private salt business." The illicit salt business is not easy to do, and every illicit salt dealer has some background behind him, and someone supports him. Although we have defeated them, we cannot guarantee that the forces behind them will not be attacked. Sanniang asked my father to share the benefits and hand them over to the original person, so that he was safe and sound until now. Now the business in Fushan County, Aoshanwei, and Qishan is all done by us. ”

Zhu Houwei looked at Ma Yun in some surprise and said, "Four years ago, you were only a few years old at that time." Ma Yun was not embarrassed, "I was fourteen years old." Zhu Houwei nodded and continued to ask, "When you first started doing this business, you inevitably had to get along with people, right, did you go too?" ”

Ma Sanniang smiled and nodded, and Zhu Houwei saw a hint of smugness in her eyes. Ma Erli spoke at this time, "Sanniang's reputation is a good name among the salt dealers in Dengzhou, and he fought with us at the age of fifteen. Later, at the age of sixteen, my father asked her to lead the team independently, and Sanniang defeated a number of salt dealers who wanted to grab the land. Those who admire her call her Ma Sanniang, and those who are hostile to her call her Silver Fox. ”

Ma Sanniang shook her hand with a smile and said, "Second brother, what are you doing about this, it makes people laugh at it plainly." Zhu Houwei noticed that there was sadness in her eyes, and it was estimated that she didn't want to fight with people in her heart, after all, she was a woman. Although her reputation is resounding, who will dare to marry her in the future.

Zhu Houwei said with a smile, "Miss Ma is worthy of being a heroic woman, and she is bold, if it weren't for bad luck, she would definitely become my Daming's Mrs. Xian, Mulan." Needless to say, Hua Mulan basically knows that Mrs. Xian is a celebrity during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, not only outstanding military talent, but more importantly, she understands righteousness and makes great contributions to the integration of the Central Plains Dynasty in Lingnan, and the founding Premier Zhou also called her "the first heroine in Chinese history".

Ma Yun's eyes softened a little more when she looked at Zhu Houwei, and she said, "It's better to call me Sanniang in the future, that's what acquaintances call me." Zhu Houwei smiled and nodded, which was considered to be the answer.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and Zhu Houwei and the Ma brothers and sisters also got a lot closer. It was already about ten o'clock after the banquet was over. The Ma brothers and sisters personally sent Zhu Houwei to the bedroom arranged for him. Zhu Yuan and another soldier stood guard at the door of the bedroom, Zhu Houwei originally asked them to go to the house and sit at the table, but the two just didn't obey. Zhu Houwei had no choice, so he went to bed to rest, and the battle on this day was also very exhausting.
