Chapter 117: Gearing Up
Ma Furong saw Tang Haitang politely withdraw her hand, she didn't care, and still looked at her with a smile.
"Sister Tang, I asked Ma Sloppy to make an appointment with the gold shop yesterday, after breakfast for a while, take advantage of the cool morning, we can go to see the jewelry first, as for the wedding dress, I want to let the tailor bring the fabric to the house, let's choose the fabric in the house and let her measure it, what do you think?"
"I'm okay with everything, my sister arranged for me to rest assured." Tang Haitang nodded and agreed with a smile.
The two of them sat politely in the hall, talking to me politely.
After a while, Xiao Cui and Qian Yingying also came to the front hall. The two also greeted each other with Ma Furong.
Xiaocui will still be a little timid when she sees Ma Furong, she always feels that she is a maid, her own lady looks up to her, and now treats her like a sister, but in front of Ma Furong, Xiaocui always feels that Ma Furong looks at her with disdain and disgust. So Xiaocui didn't sit on the seat casually like Qian Yingying, but habitually walked to Tang Haitang's side and stood next to her seat and waited.
"Xiaocui, sit down too!" Tang Haitang looked at Xiao Cui beside him, and motioned for her to sit down with his eyes, not to be so restrained.
As soon as Qian Yingying sat down, she heard Tang Haitang calling Xiaocui, and asked, "Yes, why don't you sit?" ”
Xiao Cui was persuaded by the two of them to sit down, felt a little embarrassed for a while, looked at Ma Furong in embarrassment, and saw that she was picking up the teacup next to her at this time, as if she didn't see Xiao Cui's crampedness, and after taking a sip of tea, she raised her eyes and saw Xiao Cui looking at herself.
A chuckle appeared on the corner of Ma Furong's mouth, put down the teacup, made a gesture to Xiao Cui to sit down, and said to Xiao Cui, "Xiao Cui, right?" Sit down, sit down and talk, don't be so reserved. ”
Xiao Cui replied softly with a "yes", then took small steps to the seat by the door and sat down cautiously.
The other three all looked at Xiao Cui, and it wasn't until she sat down that Tang Haitang said to Ma Furong: "Xiao Cui grew up with me since I was a child, we are like sisters, Xiao Cui accompanied me when I got married, and I experienced some twists and turns on the road, and thanks to her by my side, I can live to this day, so Xiao Cui is no longer a servant, but my family." ”
Tang Haitang's implication was to tell Ma Furong that Xiaocui was no longer a servant, but her sister, her mother's family, and no one could treat Xiaocui with the attitude of treating subordinates in the future.
Ma Furong listened to Tang Haitang's words, and nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, my Qing'er also grew up with me since childhood, and our relationship is also like sisters, and I also have the same experience of your feelings." In my heart, she is not an ordinary servant, but a family and sister. ”
Xiaocui heard the conversation between the two, and looked at Tang Haitang gratefully, Miss was speaking for her again, she was very grateful, she didn't expect Miss to defend herself like this in front of Ma Furong today, she felt that she was really lucky to be able to follow such a good master. My heart feels warm, and there is no cramped uneasiness just now.
The hall was silent for a while, and several people didn't look for a topic to chat about, and they all sat silently.
Qing'er entered the hall at this time, stood in the center of listening, saluted a few people, and said to Ma Furong: "Breakfast is ready, Master Qian is already waiting for a few girls in the flower hall to come over for breakfast." ”
When Ma Furong heard this, she asked Tang Haitang, "Sister Tang, let's go over too?" ”
"Okay, let's go." Tang Haitang got up as he spoke, pulled Qian Yingying and Xiaocui, and went to the flower hall with Ma Furong.
When several people in the Ma Mansion were enjoying breakfast, Ma Xiaotian was already dressed in military clothes and led the army to quietly lurk in the woods outside Youzhou City.
"East, south, west, and north, the city gates in these four directions, your battalion quietly leads people here, here, and here, and each place sends thirty soldiers to quietly lurk outside the city gates, waiting for my signal before acting."
Ma Xiaotian held a branch in his hand and assigned his subordinates to defend on the city defense map of Youzhou City.
He had the appearance of the man in black in his mind, imagining that if he were the other party, in an emergency, in order to escape, which route would he choose to escape. Then look at the possible escape routes on the map, and compare them with the map, analyzing the places that you may have forgotten.
"Report to the general, a letter from the spies ahead!" A small guard put a note on the ground and gave it to Ma Xiaotian.
Ma Xiaotian's train of thought was disturbed, but he was not annoyed, but turned out to be a note, looking at the content on it, raising his eyebrows and raising the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an expected look.
"Yes, as I expected."
Ma Xiaotian gently touched his chin with his right hand, the stubble on his chin was not processed today, and the touch felt a little itchy.
He didn't care about his scum, but thought about what to do with the information from the spies.
After thinking for a while, Ma Xiaotian picked up a pen and paper and wrote down "Do not move, act when the opportunity arises"
Then he rolled up the note, handed it to the guard, and ordered, "Send it to them." ”
"Yes!" The guard received the order and turned to deliver the letter.
"Everyone, the other party can't help it, and will make a move soon, we will take place immediately according to the arrangement just now, just wait for a while, and collect the Internet outside the city!" Ma Xiaotian looked at the generals in front of him with a serious face, with certainty in his eyes, he has been waiting for a long time in order to close the net today, and he has been led by the other party for so long, and today it is finally his turn to catch the other party off guard, he must take this group of people in the net, dare to light a fire on his territory, he wants to let the enemy know the consequences of provoking him, if he wants to leave, it is not so easy!
"Yes! Command! After all, everyone has been holding back the revenge of poisoning them last time, and everyone is holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, wanting to wipe out this group of people, so as to get out of the evil breath last time.
Outside Mafu, there would normally be no one on the street at this time, but today it was fifteen, and there were people walking by in groups of three or five at the door very early.
On the other side of the small river at the entrance of Mafu is a market, and at the end of the market, by the stone bridge, there is a fire temple. Today is a sunny day, and on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, there will be good men and women who come to the temple to pray for peace and blessings. Because the temple was built in the market, there are still a lot of pilgrims and believers who come to offer incense, today is a sunny day, and it is 15 years old, so many believers get up early in the morning and rush to offer incense.
