Let's say that when Lin Xiaozhu was about to wipe out the darkness that day, he brought Zhou Daqing and Ma Ya back.

The second master led the brothers forward, and surrounded Zhou Daqing to ask long and short questions: Did they beat you, where did they lock you up, who are they, etc., what have they eaten in the past few days, etc., don't talk about it.

only said that the second master briefly greeted Zhou Daqing, came to thank Lin Xiaozhu, and invited Lin Xiaozhu into the inn, Sun Zheng personally went to let the innkeeper arrange two tables of sumptuous banquets.

When the wine and food were ready and he sat down at the wine table, Lin Xiaozhu explained what happened one after another.

Lin Xiaozhu said that these people are from other places in Shandong, because of the drought this year, several people are from martial arts training, and they were selected by the local rich man to help their family escort grain to sell here, but they did not expect to be robbed by hundreds of hungry people halfway, and the rich man was angry and went back on his own, leaving a few of them unconcerned.

Because they couldn't transport the food to the location, they didn't get a penny, and they were so hungry that they were close to their backs.

When Lin Xiaozhu went up the mountain, when they learned the identity of Lin Xiaozhu, they knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, they didn't know that Lin Zhuang had a relationship with Sun Fu, so Lin Zhuang ran for this matter personally, they didn't ask for anything else, only asked the owner to give them a way to live.

Zhou Daqing also added that when they left, the owner of the village also gave them five taels of silver per person to wrap around, so that they could go home and reunite with their families, and this silver could also allow their families to withstand this season's famine.

A lot of things were said at the banquet, and when the second master came back to talk to the master about it, he was also suspicious.

Where did the horses come from?

The old lady said that since the kung fu is good, grab it!

So this matter has passed, mainly because the owner of the Lin family also confiscated a penny from the Sun family, and also pasted the forty taels of silver from the robbers, which is in line with Lin Xiaozhu's usual behavior: chivalrous and righteous!

The day after Zhou Daqing and Ma Ya were rescued, Lin Zhuang mainly went south to do business, so he and the second master and others came to say goodbye, and the second master gave silver again, but the owner of Lin Zhuang just didn't accept it.

After everyone saw the owner of Lin Zhuang leave, the second master discussed with the eldest lady, after this toss, I am afraid that Mrs. Zhou's seventieth birthday will be delayed, and I don't know if I can catch the last day of the family banquet.

According to the general rules, the first day of the old lady's birthday banquet is to entertain officials and relatives, the second day is to entertain ordinary relatives and friends, and the third day is to entertain the whole family: whether it is the master or the subordinate, a lively day of drinking and listening to a drama together.

The second master was worried that he wouldn't be able to catch up with the family banquet on the last day.

Originally, the eldest lady had enough time to prepare, and they planned to stay in Beicheng for a few days, the purpose was to see where the uncle chose the Sun Mansion to live, refer to it or something, and come back to report to the old lady, but I didn't expect to encounter such an accident on the way.

Anyway, it's still going to go.

In order to avoid further accidents on the road, Lin Xiaozhu gave Zhou Daqing a token of Gongru Villa, even if they met a strongman along the way, they would not dare to offend the token of Gongru Villa.

And when the heroes on the rivers and lakes see this token, they will also give them a lot of care.

But the second master was still not at ease, so he sent his six sons and nephews to escort them to Beicheng along the way, and he took the dozen or so useless soldiers back in the words of the second master, replied to the emperor, and informed the old lady Zhou Daqing that Ma Ya had been rescued safely!

Escorted by the six brothers of Sun Zheng, this is what kind of bandits they encounter again, it is a piece of cake for them to deal with, Sun Rong's five elder brothers were able to rush into the army of ten thousand, cut down a few enemy generals and retreat, even if it is hundreds of strongmen, what is it?

Moreover, they also brought the tokens of Gongru Villa, and whoever saw it on the rivers and lakes had to give way, and gave them convenience, and the road was much more comfortable.

These six grandsons, in order to hurry, consulted with the eldest lady to speed up the horsewhip and hurry up.

The eldest lady of the Sun Mansion can bring six children and nephews to congratulate Mrs. Zhou on her birthday, and this Zhou family is too dignified.

On this day, they arrived in Beicheng and stopped in front of the door of the Zhou Mansion, but they were in time to entertain friends the next day.

There were so many people in Zhou's house, my uncle was overjoyed, and the porter learned that Sun Fu had come so many people, so he hurried to report to the master of the Zhou family, and the old man Zhou was overjoyed when he heard it. Even the old lady of the Zhou Mansion came out to greet the eldest lady and many junior brothers of the Sun Mansion in person, with the support of Mrs. Gu!

The Sun family attaches great importance to the Zhou family, and then again, the Zhou family attaches even more importance to the Sun family.

Now Lian'er has become Ji'er's side concubine, you know, Ji'er likes Lian'er very much.

Although the old man Zhou assisted the prince, according to the prince's physical condition, the ministers discussed it in private, and they were worried that he would not survive Emperor Fukang. Today's prince is out of breath even when he walks, his body is too fat, and the fatter he is, the more he likes to eat fatty meat.

Now that the prince is in Beicheng, he is a bowl of fat in two seas a day, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't eat it!

It is said that the old man Zhou was quite unhappy that his grandson failed to arrive home in time the day before, and felt that the Sun family was really unreasonable, on such an important day, why couldn't he let his grandson come back earlier? The old man also plans to introduce his grandson to the officials and show off his talents. But when I met and heard that my grandson had been kidnapped by robbers for several days, I delayed my trip.

Even the old man Zhou, who is such a big official, is still holding his grandson in tears, feeling that his grandson has suffered so much, and he blames Sun Fu for his grandson, and he feels guilty!

The aunt of the Sun family arranged for everyone to wash up, sit down for tea, and talk about the thrilling journey along the way, and the wives sighed again.

waited until the little noon uncle came to eat and drink, only to learn that his wife and nephew had arrived, and he was in a happy mood.

Uncle came yesterday, and today he was invited to drink, so naturally he doesn't have to shirk, this is his sister's house!

Regarding how the Zhou family attaches importance to these people in the Sun Mansion and how to arrange it, let's go back and talk about the situation of Zhou Daqing and Ma Ya in the few days when they were imprisoned.

In fact, after Ma Ya Zhou Daqing was robbed up the mountain, Ma Ya was carried away by a four-person sedan chair in the evening of the same day, and Zhou Daqing did not know where to go.

Since Zhou Daqing went up the mountain, he was locked in a cave, except for a few kicks in the ass at the beginning, and no one bothered him after that.

In the first two days, Zhou Daqing's meal was one baked potato a day to ensure that he would not starve to death, and then suddenly there was wine and meat, and even Zhou Daqing felt that this bandit was really capricious.

Ma Ya was connected to a courtyard in the middle of the mountain by a small sedan chair, this courtyard is hidden in the woods, the local legend says that this was originally a Taoist priest who built the road here, because there are fierce beasts on this mountain from time to time, so the surroundings are deserted, just this broken courtyard.

But when Ma Ya entered, she was extremely surprised, in the room where she was arranged, the walls and roof were covered by white silk, and there were thick blankets on the floor.

When Ma Ya returned to the living room, she saw everyone kneeling down and kowtowing, calling her princess!

Ma Ya, who had been kept in the dark, didn't know until this time that they were Feng Qinghui's people.

Two women in clean clothes came over and took Ma Ya to bathe and change clothes.

Halfway through the wash, Ma Ya heard a crisp shout outside: "Where is my sister?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Ya's tears in the bathtub fell, outside should be his longing brother, otherwise who would dare to call his sister in this place?!

Ma Ya stopped bathing, and when she came out of the bathtub, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help her wipe off the moisture on her body, change her into satin clothes, and help her put on beautiful jewelry.

Ma Ya couldn't wait to run out of it, she held on to the door frame, and saw a man in the middle of the courtyard with his back to her, looking up at the sky.

"Brother?" Ma Ya tried to scream.

I saw that the man turned around suddenly, and two tear stains were clearly visible on his face, and it seemed that he had been crying for a while.

Looking at each other, Ma Ya carefully looked at the man in front of him, searching for memories of the past.

The man couldn't help but run over, hugged Ma Ya, and shouted Sister, you are suffering.

Until this time, Ma Ya, who was hugged tightly, couldn't hold back anymore, she was crying!

Although my brother is taller and stronger, his appearance when he was a child has not changed much.

As the former crown prince of the elder brother, he recognized his sister at a glance.

Ma Ya's appearance is very similar to their mother, Ma Ya is just not as beautiful as her mother, and she has more or less the shadow of Emperor Huiwu on her body, who is this not her sister?!

The brother and sister hugged their heads and cried for a while, and Ma Ya opened her mouth and said very aggrievedly: "For so long, brother, you don't come to see me, it's been ten years, I thought you didn't recognize me as a sister?!" ”

The elder brother couldn't speak, just put his head on Ma Ya's head, and wanted to cry and laugh in a strange way, his lips trembled, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

When the two brothers and sisters met like this, everyone had already retreated, but Feng Qinghui, who came with the prince, was still waiting outside the door, waiting for their brother and sister to send at any time.

Feng Qinghui saw that the emotions of the two brothers and sisters were slightly stable, and asked Ma Ya's brother softly, "Prince, the food is stewed in the pot, can you and Princess Wan eat now?" ”

"Serve the food, I forgot about this stubble, my sister is afraid that she is hungry!" The former prince immediately commanded.

"Serve!" Feng Qinghui called out to the kitchen, and after a while, I saw four women in green clothes, each holding a tray in their hands, walking out, and the dishes were on the ground one by one.

When Ma Ya sat down at the table, she looked at the table of more than 30 dishes, and said in surprise: "Brother, there are so many, how can we eat them?" ”

"Sister, for so many years, my brother doesn't know what your taste is, in the past few days when you are here, I asked them to cook all kinds of dishes for you without repeating them, although they are not as good as the imperial chefs in the palace in the past, the dishes they can cook are also very in line with my taste, very good, sister, you try it!"

"That's a waste, isn't it?" Ma Ya said.

"What did my sister say? You're here, it's also called waste? If the conditions here allow, I will let you taste all the food in the world, although my brother can't give you the treatment of a princess, but my brother will let you eat delicious food without any problem, and my brother will not lack silver! ”

Feng Qinghui, who had been silent, said a word at this time, she said: "Princess Wan is always in the Sun Mansion, the food is simple, at first glance I see so many dishes, I am afraid that I don't know which dish to eat better, prince, what kind of taste do you think is good, recommend it to Princess Wan." ”

Feng Qinghui said it with a smile, but the former prince cried, he stood up with sobs and personally cooked for Ma Ya, he felt that he owed his sister too much in his heart.

Although Ma Ya's brother is also adrift, he is not short of money, and Emperor Huiwu left him enough silver to form an army.

He has good food and drink everywhere, and with Feng Qinghui here, can he lack food?

But Ma Ya is different, Feng Qinghui's words made the prince can't help but shed tears!

Seeing that her brother was emotional, Ma Ya also picked up her brother's dish into her mouth with tears in her eyes, trembling her lips, and swallowed it without even chewing.

Ma Ya didn't eat the taste of the food at this meal, but tasted the feeling of being pampered back then.

When he was in front of the former prince, the former prince also pampered himself, as long as Ma Ya came to say that I wanted to ride a horse, the former prince would immediately lie down and ride Ma Ya as a horse regardless of time and place.

When the meal was over, Ma Ya and the former prince talked all night, and when the sun rose the next day, the two of them fell asleep sleepily.

By the time Ma Ya woke up, it was already dark. The prince had been sitting outside waiting for his sister to wake up.

This time, Ma Ya looked at the dozens of dishes on the table, and Ma Ya regained the feeling of the year, she was not polite, and chose her favorite dishes to eat.

The prince looked at his sister, and the prince's eyes were full of pity and sadness, and from time to time he gave his sister dishes that she thought were good, and he didn't cry and laugh like he did yesterday.

This time, the brother and sister talked until the middle of the night before they each lay down.

When Ma Ya woke up again, she remembered Zhou Daqing.

She hurriedly asked Feng Qinghui where Zhou Daqing was.

Feng Qinghui truthfully reported Zhou Daqing's situation and said that he was locked up in a cave.

Ma Ya pouted to her brother, and the former prince hurriedly asked what was wrong? Ma Ya said that Daqing was kind to her this week, and her brother couldn't treat his benefactor slowly!

The former prince was busy asking people to come over, and Ma Ya personally picked out some dishes that Zhou Daqing liked to eat, asked people to take the food box and send it over, and warmed a pot of wine to bring it.

Zhou Daqing, who had been hungry for two days, saw the wine and meat, his eyes were not straight, and he looked at the visitor in horror: "This is going to send me on the road?" ”

The man couldn't help but laugh a little, and then hurriedly restrained his smile, and said, "Our big boss is afraid that you will starve to death, and you won't get the silver when the time comes, won't you suffer?" You're worth five thousand taels of silver, and our big boss is willing to kill you!" ”

Zhou Daqing heard what he said and felt that it made sense, they got five thousand taels of silver, did they still care about this bit of wine and food?

Although Zhou Daqing was hungry, he hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, and asked the man, "Where did you lock that girl?" ”

"I can't be locked up with you wherever I go, even if you are brothers and sisters, men and women have to live separately, and your sister is now accompanied by our second master!"

"Two masters? Male or female? Zhou Daqing said in horror.

"What do you kid think? The second person in charge is our lady of the village, she takes care of it personally, do you kid usually do too many bad things, and everyone is as dirty as you? Aren't you hungry? I'm not hungry and I'm going to feed the dogs! ”

Zhou Daqing, who had no interest, was uncomfortable with hunger, as the old saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and he heard that Ma Ya was watched by the woman, so he put his mind at ease. When he heard that he was going to take away the food and feed it to the dog, he busily protected the food with both hands, and said to the man: "Hey, can't I ask anymore?!" I'm worth five thousand taels of silver, and if I don't eat it, I'll starve to death, and if you starve me to death, what do you think of your big boss's errand? ”

The man glanced at Zhou Daqing and said, "If you kid dare to be crooked, next time I'll let you eat a raw potato a day!" ”

Zhou Daqing dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, he was too worried about Ma Ya, if it weren't for Ma Ya, he would not be so spineless.

Zhou Daqing knew that silver was very attractive to bandits, and Zhou Daqing also believed that they would not dare to do anything to the horses.

If you want to find a woman, with these five thousand taels of silver, you can buy thousands of girls, if they harm Ma Ya, it will be too cost-effective, if Ma Ya has any accidents, they still want to get silver?

Besides, there are basically no bandits who do this kind of immoral thing, and there is a way for thieves, and bandits also talk about rules!

I still don't mention Zhou Daqing here, but I still have to talk about what happened to Ma Ya after chatting with her brother about what happened to her brother in the next time, and then we started to talk about the topic.

Ma Ya was puzzled in her heart, what was her brother's plan?

The former prince told Ma Ya everything.

After Emperor Huiwu and the prince separated, let the prince take to a temple, after the prince entered a secret room, he saw that the secret room was full of gold and silver treasures, and the person who came handed the prince a package, after opening, the prince found that there was a box inside, opened the box, and he was surprised to see that there was a jade seal used by Emperor Huiwu.

The crown prince told Ma Ya that the reason why Emperor Huiwu handed over the jade seal to him was because their father no longer wanted to participate in the matter of seizing the throne, and their father also felt ashamed of the other princes and was sorry for Taizu, so he decided to go to the Tao.

Emperor Fu Kang handed over the jade seal to his son, this throne Emperor Huiwu did not do, it should have been passed on to his son, so whether his son competed with Emperor Fu Kang for the throne was up to him.

So the jade seal is in the hands of Emperor Huiwu, and the jade seal that Emperor Fu Kang is using now is actually carved by Emperor Fu Kang after he entered the palace of the Southern Capital.

Now why Fu Kangdi wants to increase the search for their whereabouts is because of this jade seal.

As long as Emperor Huiwu or the crown prince holds this jade seal, when the time is ripe, he will ascend to the heights and shout, and the people will come to echo.

You know, this jade seal is the jade seal left by Emperor Taizu, this is the orthodox jade seal, Emperor Fu Kang used it was carved by someone himself, it can be said to be fake, can it be compared with the jade seal left by Taizu?

If everyone was like Emperor Fu Kang, looking for someone to engrave a jade seal and call himself the emperor, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

The key is that Emperor Fukang also emphasized in front of his ministers that Emperor Taizu originally wanted to pass on the throne to him????????????

The former prince then told Ma Ya that Emperor Fukang was unpopular with the people, and that he led his troops to the north last time, and he returned in vain. Now, in order to build the capital in Beicheng, a large number of migrant workers have been mobilized.

In addition, in order to facilitate the transportation of materials from the south to the north, he recruited migrant workers to repair the river in the provinces along the canal, especially in Shandong, and recruited a large number of migrant workers, which made the people in Shandong difficult to make a living.

Ma Ya held her cheeks and listened to her brother introduce the current situation of the government and the opposition to her in detail.

Then next, the former prince told Ma Ya about his own plan, which made Ma Ya's blood boil.

So what plan did the former prince tell Ma Ya to make Ma Ya so excited, please see the next chapter!
