Chapter 238
"Oops, congratulations, congratulations!"
Zheng Haizhu grinned, turned around from the horse, and congratulated Ma Xianglin with a face.
Because the range of action was a little larger, he lost his balance slightly, his body shook, and he was busy pulling the reins.
The embarrassment shown at this moment did not embarrass her.
She continued to carry sincere joy and a bit of fun, and said aloud: "On the way to Beijing, I have long wanted to ask, and I am afraid that you men will think that we women like to inquire about other family affairs. Hey, let me calculate the days, there are still two months left in Chongyang, and I will write to Chongming tomorrow and ask them to use freshly beaten cotton, play a few small quilts, and weave a few small clothes. Oh, and Songjiang's cloth, the one that makes diapers the best, Miss Han's little son, who has never been red in the ass for several years. I'll have someone sew three boxes of dolls for you and Fengyi...... Well, there's ......."
Ma Xianglin is the first time to see Zheng Haizhu chattering in order to raise children.
She was a woman after all, with excitement and tender concern for a new life.
Ma Xianglin thought like this, and thought about himself, how the poor son was not a husband, and in an instant, melancholy flashed.
Zheng Haizhu was staring at him, and suddenly caught his friend's strangeness.
Then I realized that the look on the other party's face when talking was not quite right.
Even though General Pony has always been a cold and upright character, but as a father for the first time, the joy and longing of human ethics, even if it is a suspicion, will always be revealed to some extent, right?
However, Xianglin did not.
Or, perhaps, both, but they are covered by three points of worry and five points of hesitation.
"Xianglin, what's wrong? Am I too verbose? Zheng Haizhu asked.
"Oh," Ma Xianglin smiled faintly and disguised, "How could I think you are verbose, I just, just thinking that after you saw Feng Yi, she would definitely love to ask you for these things." By the way, Azhu, how long will you stay in Beijing this time? ”
Zheng Haizhu resumed his calculated expression and said: "I've seen the person I told you to see, just wait to hear the rumors, if the impeachment of Master Huang in Songjiang Switch stops, I still want to take a look at the shop in Beijing with my subordinates and open a semicolon of a trading company." In this way, outside the headquarters of our Haoming Trading Company in Hangzhou, Songjiang, Yanzhou, and Beijing can echo in the south, middle, and north. ”
Ma Xianglin's eyes lit up: "In this way, you should stay for at least half a year, right?" ”
"Don't worry, I'll watch your little boy come out. Why don't you think I'm a godmother? ”
"Both men and women are good, if it is a female baby, it is better, follow you south earlier, and worship Miss Han as a teacher."
Zheng Haizhu couldn't help but be stunned: "Xianglin, are you joking?" You and Fengyi's children, don't you learn marksmanship and archery? ”
Ma Xianglin pursed his lips: "It was my father-in-law who spoke, if it was a daughter, don't rush to the horse like Feng Yi, he is distressed." ”
"Well, that's right."
The two of them had their own thoughts, and continued to talk idly on their faces, and soon arrived at Mafu.
Zhang Fengyi didn't expect her husband to say that he would go to the patrol camp at noon, and he brought back his old friend a few hours later, which was a surprise.
When Zheng Haizhu saw the little woman walking briskly from the shooting range in the courtyard, she exclaimed: "Fengyi, you have been this month, why are you still tinkering with knives, guns and arrows!" ”
Zhang Fengyi patted her stomach happily and said disapprehantly: "What does aiming with your eyes and your arms with your bow have anything to do with your stomach?" Well, the doll slept soundly in it. You see, I had to slap it several times before he woke up and remembered to kick me. ”
Ma Xianglin stepped forward, took the birch bow in his wife's hand, and said angrily: "You don't know how to be a fool, Azhu doesn't know if you don't practice martial arts, archery must be held with abdominal strength, if you don't stop, I can only go to report to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
Zheng Haizhu looked at the pleasing couple in front of her with a smile.
The two of them are clearly husband and wife, and Feng Yi has no dark intimacy.
At the end of the Shen Dynasty and the beginning of the unit, the family banquet began.
After learning that their daughter was pregnant, Zhang Quan and his wife specially sent a cook from their own house, with exquisite skills and skill, to temporarily add pepper soft fish and tempeh and scallion fried lamb tripe for the distinguished guests.
The taste of the dishes is quite good, Zhang Fengyi's appetite is quite good, while persuading Zheng Haizhu to eat more, while sandwiching herself more than anyone else.
She also had a lot of fun, and the banquet was full of her hearty laughter, while Ma Xianglin kept pouring himself wine, sipping it, and looking at his wife gently.
Zheng Haizhu then thought about it, on the way here, he was probably too sensitive, and at this time, General Pony was no different.
The guests and hosts were happy, and when Zheng Haizhu said goodbye, it was already past a drum.
Ma Xianglin has a waist card of the imperial court, and he didn't worry about the curfew, so he went out in person, took two guards, and escorted the three Zheng masters and servants to the Jingzhong Inn.
When he turned back and was half a mile away from home, several dark shadows came out silently in the quiet deep alley on the side.
The guard alertly drew his sword, and Ma Xianglin raised his hand to stop it.
Under the light moon, the shadows took on a color.
One of them was dressed in a troll, and the one behind him was a brocade guard.
"Grandpa Liu came to me at this hour, did he listen to Admiral Cui's report?"
Ma Xianglin jumped off his mount and said calmly.
Liu Shimin said in a deep voice: "Admiral Cui knows better than you what kind of goods your relatives are, today you two offended the people of Huangzhuang, although he saw that Wei Zhongxian was happy to shirk, Li Xuanzhi on the other side, but he may not be willing to give up." ”
Ma Xianglin rolled up the horsewhip and sneered: "The mistress of the East Palace, is there a hostess of the Sixth Palace who speaks loudly?" Whenever the stupid woman surnamed Li makes a fuss, Concubine Zheng will definitely hear it, the surname Zheng has a plan for me, and she has always been brushing her hair, what am I afraid of? ”
Liu Shimin smiled: "The truth is like this, but the Holy Lord and we are about to conspire, and the miscellaneous things that are caused by the middle of the road are always as few as possible." Coincidentally today, Zheng Yatou is also involved. ”
Ma Xianglin was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Ah Zhu came to Beijing, did my father-in-law already know?" ”
Liu Shimin did not evade: "Of course, there are our sentries along the canal. As soon as Nanbian said that she followed Dong Qichang into Beijing, I guessed that she was here to talk to Huang Zunsu. It has nothing to do with us, and the Holy Lord does not need to care. But Xianglin ......"
The smile on Liu Shimin's face disappeared, he sighed in the moonlight, and said: "Xianglin, the old man was also young, a few years ago in the catastrophe of Yuegang and Taiwan, I could see that you had been moved by that girl." You are all decent people, even if you don't have a fate, now that you are friends, you will still be concerned about her safety. The best way is to walk around with her less and not to provoke the suspicion of the Holy Lord. ”
Ma Xianglin frowned: "Suspect that I will leak the big plan to her?" ”
Liu Shimin shook his head: "I still suspect that you have won people's love." The Holy Lord knew that she was a descendant of Zheng Qia, and seeing her like this now, he wanted to marry her. ”
"Heh," Ma Xianglin sneered, "The Holy Lord thinks that his surname is Zhu, and all the descendants surnamed Zheng will revolve around him and fulfill his wish?" Father-in-law, I think even if the Holy Lord wears a dragon robe, Ah Zhu may not be able to look down on him. ”
Liu Shimin stared at the young general, and finally clicked through him: "Xianglin, you are not Zheng Qia's descendant, don't you also work with us?" ”
"That's for my daddy!" Ma Xianglin suppressed his throat, but his tone was suddenly angry, "My father was killed by Wanli, his son, no matter whether the prince or King Rui of Fu Wang, don't want to continue to be powerful on the dragon chair, and his brothers of the same clan, don't think about it!" ”
Liu Shimin made a soothing gesture: "Your intentions, I and Lord Miao have long understood and believed in them." The old man just kindly reminded you a few words. Don't talk about Zheng Yatou, let's go back to the palace. Wanli seems to be unable to survive next month, and the edict will be changed to the crown prince, which is impossible in the Ming Dynasty, and those Wenchen can directly lift Fang Congzhe's heavenly spirit cover. Therefore, Zheng Guifei still wants to follow the path of brother to brother. Whatever this foolish woman has commanded you, you must tell me, and do not delay a moment. ”
Ma Xianglin replied in a muffled voice, and said: "If my father-in-law has nothing else to say, Ma will go back to the house, so as not to worry about Neiko." ”
"Okay, let's go."
