When the second young master is doing the right thing, he has always been slow and courageous, but when he pursues a comfortable life, he spares no effort. He had long wanted to go to Xi'an to see Huahua World and leave this remote small county. Now that the Whitewater River is out of flow, it just gives him an excuse to leave home.

After returning to the Ma family's compound, the second young master immediately asked people to prepare the car, moved all the commonly used utensils to the car, and loaded the family's gold, silver, fine and soft on the car, just like a moving house.

Ma Qianjiu couldn't persuade him, and the third lady couldn't persuade him, and later invited the old lady of the Ma family, Ma Tianyuan, the second young master was still unmoved, and insisted on moving, he actually helped the old lady Ma into the carriage, and shouted: "Dad, I'll take you to Xi'an, even the water here is going to be cut off, how can your old man take care of his old man?" Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan. ”

After all, Ma Tianyuan is old, and he was instigated by his son like this, but he really agreed. The old man always wants to live with his son. The second young master didn't do it again, and pulled the third lady to the car: "Third sister, let's go...... Let's go to Xi'an together, we are all gone, how do you live here alone? Take all your maids with you, and we'll move our family. ”

"What about our family's land and ancestral home?" Ma Qianjiu asked with a wry smile next to him: "You can't sell all of them, right?" ”

"Dump it at my wife!" The second young master laughed maliciously: "This stinky woman, quarrel with me every day, I saw that she was not pleasing to the eye, I moved to Xi'an Mansion and left this stinky woman here for my housekeeper...... She herself said I didn't care about her. ”

Although what he said was excessive, it was not surprising that he would leave the family business in the hands of his wife. During the Ming Dynasty, there were many wealthy families, and the management of the family business was handed over to women. Because the men of these families are often officials in the court, they have to do some big things, such as managing the family's maids, households, fields, old mansions and other bad things, all of which are handed over to their wives. And women, on the other hand, have a meticulous and patient approach to things that men can't match, and can often handle these chores better than men.

The relationship between the second young master and the second young grandmother is very bad, the two of them have been married since March of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and it has been a year, but they have never shared the same bed, and they either quarrel or ridicule each other every day. But in the late Ming Dynasty, divorce was a very big deal, and it was not something that could be divorced casually.

The wife must commit one of the "seven outs" before she can divorce justifiably!

So which are these seven outs?

disobedience to parents, for their rebellion; childless, for its peerless also; Silver, for its chaotic people also; jealousy, for its troubled family; If there is a vicious disease, it is not possible to prosper with it; Speak a lot, for the sake of leaving relatives; Stealing, for its antisense also.

Although the second young grandmother quarrels with the second young master every day, but in these seven outs, the second young grandmother does not account for any of them! Maybe some officials feel strange, if you don't have sex with your husband, you won't have children, you should be guilty of "childless", right? No, there are prerequisites for childlessness, and according to the regulations, a woman over the age of forty-nine who has not given birth to a child can be considered "childless".

Therefore, if the second young master wants to use this article to take a break from the second young grandmother, he has to wait for twenty or thirty years. As for other terms, it is even more untouched, although the second young grandmother is very fierce towards the second young master, but she is kind and gentle to other people, no matter how you count it, it can't be counted as seven out.

The second young master hated his wife very much, and the second young grandmother also hated her husband very much, but neither of them could divorce, so they had to live in separate rooms in the Ma family's compound and mix up together, this time the second young master made up his mind to go to Xi'an, and immediately thought that it was better to throw this woman in Baishui and let her manage the family business, so as to save the trouble of quarreling every day.

His idea was immediately agreed by the second young grandmother with her hands and feet, you can't get used to her, she can't get used to you! The distance from Xi'an to Baishui is not enough, if it can be separated from the other side of the sea and the sky, the second young grandmother will wake up with a smile when she falls asleep.

So this matter is decided, the two sides hit it off, you go, I stay, you go to Xi'an to live happily don't bother me, I am here to manage the family business, and I don't want to see you, everyone has their own lives.

The relocation work was done quickly, and the maids in the inner courtyard and outer courtyard of the Ma family worked together to move the house cleanly, leaving only some money just enough to maintain the family business for the second young grandmother, and all other things were taken away. Not only the things are taken away, but even the people are all leaving, and all the family guards have to move to Xi'an with the master of the Ma family, the second young master, and the third young lady.

However, the Ma family's land and property cannot be moved, so everything in the side courtyard must be stayed, including Zhu Yuanzhang, the manager of the side hospital.

On the eve of the relocation convoy about to leave, Ma Qianjiu came to the side courtyard and found Zhu Yuanzhang: "Steward Zhu, I will move to Xi'an with the second young master soon!" Before leaving, I want to explain something to you. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be solemn: "Steward Ma, please speak!" ”

Ma Qianjiu sighed and said: "After all, this is the ancestral home of the Ma family, the old man and the eldest young master are very worried about here, after we leave, the affairs here can only depend on you." ”

"Steward Ma laughed, there are two young grandmothers in charge!" Zhu Yuanzhang said modestly.

"What can a woman do?" Ma Qianjiu shook his head and said: "And this woman's mind is not on our Ma family at all, and now you are the only one who remains here who is the most loyal to the Ma family......"

It turned out that Ma Qianjiu still remembered that Zhu Ba was reluctant to go to the shirt family to be a big steward, and insisted on staying in the Ma family to be a small housekeeper in a remote hospital, and one thought that he was loyal to the Ma family and worthy of trust.

Ma Qianjiu took out a small scroll of paper from his arms, handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and said seriously: "Steward Zhu has taken it, this scroll of paper is a family letter that Mrs. Ma specially asked me to hand over to you, and it is covered with the old lady's seal......

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang unfolded the paper scroll and looked at it, and it turned out that what was written on the paper was: If the second young grandmother does something unfavorable to the Ma family, Zhu Ba can use this document stamped by the old lady Ma to seize the management of the family business of the second young grandmother.

Hah, this thing...... Isn't it the Shang Fang Sword? Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, the little pony's family actually played this game? In another half year, the vigorous peasant uprising will begin, in this half a year, he also needs to be fully prepared, and when the time comes, he may need to use many resources of the Ma family, with this document in his hand, the second young grandmother has many things that he can't manage him, which is not bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang put away the paper scroll, waved at Ma Qianjiu, and said with a smile: "Help me thank the old lady for your trust." ”

Ma Qianjiu patted him lightly on the shoulder, nodded, and turned to leave!

Early the next morning, the Ma family's convoy set off towards Xi'an, there were as many as 18 carriages in the convoy, and there were as many as 100 family members and nurses who followed the team.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the door of the Ma family's compound, watching the carriage that the third lady was riding in a distance, with a faint reluctance in his heart. But he had no intention of following, or leaving the third lady behind. The troubled times are coming, in the next ten years, the whole world is in chaos, the third lady is obviously not safe to stay in the countryside, it is better to go to Xi'an Mansion to live temporarily, at least, before Li Zicheng's army captures Xi'an Mansion, Xi'an Mansion can be regarded as the safest place in the whole of Shaanxi.

After the convoy left, Mafu became empty, except for the side yard, which was still lively, the front yard and the back yard were completely empty...... When the second young grandmother married into the Ma family, she brought a maid to the house, and then Zhu Yuanzhang helped her bring seventeen maids and four family members from Chengcheng, so in general, there are still twenty-two people available under the second young grandmother.

In the past, there were hundreds of people living in the courtyard, but now there are only about 20 people. Looking back, I can't help but feel a little desolate.

"Steward Zhu, the second young grandmother is invited!" A family member ran over, he was the person who Zhu Yuanzhang was saved from the officers and soldiers in Zhang's mansion, and he had a blind admiration and respect for Zhu Yuanzhang, and his attitude was like a slave talking to his master.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and followed him to the hall.

The hall is very empty now, although the tables and chairs are still there, but many antique calligraphy and paintings used for decoration have been moved, on the whole, the tone seems to be very elegant and deep, the second young grandmother is sitting on the first seat, with a happy smile on her face as if ** flew out of the cage, and there are a few maids standing beside her, among which there are autumn leaves.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang coming over, the smile on the face of the second young grandmother was even worse: "Steward Zhu, in the future, this family will be discussed and managed by the two of us." ”

"I'm just a subordinate, of course, the affairs of this family are in charge of the second young grandmother." Zhu Yuanzhang is low-key and authentic.

"Don't be polite to me." The second young grandmother said softly: "At the beginning, you helped me keep the Zhang Mansion and prevented the officers and soldiers from going in to make trouble, and left me a lot of dowries, although these dowries were later given to Yang Qianhu, but I still accept your affection...... I am a woman's family, I have been pampered since I was a child, I don't understand many things, and in the future, I will all count on Steward Zhu to help me, if you have any ideas, just tell me. ”

"Second Young Grandma Xie lifts!" Zhu Yuanzhang responded casually.

"Steward Zhu, you help me come up with an idea, what is the first thing we have to do now?" The second young grandmother sighed and said, "I really don't understand anything, I don't even know what to do." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his spirits perked up, very good, it's best if you don't understand anything, and only by leaving this home to me can I be more free and free to indulge in everything. He pretended to think for a while, and then said very seriously: "I think our top priority is to form a new nursing team. ”
