It is said that that night, Huang Wanqing pulled her mother out of the back door, looked back, and saw that the flames were soaring, and it was impossible to go home, so she crossed the mountains and mountains, and walked aimlessly all the way. Eat and sleep in the open.

One day, Ma Biao, the owner of Longhe Village, led a group of people down the mountain to look for prey and found his mother and Huang Wanqing. Although Huang Wanqing has been tortured for many days, her clothes are worn out, and she has not been washed, she still can't hide her wonderful posture and moving beauty. And Ma Biaozheng lacked a lady to suppress the village, and when he saw Huang Wanqing, he was overjoyed, so he ordered his subordinates to snatch back the cottage.

Mother and Huang Wanqing didn't have time to react, so they were dragged into the cottage by the green forest rack in the car. Ma Biao specially instructed that the two should be settled and served well, and there should be no slackness. The two of them were settled in a chic bamboo and wood building in the cottage, surrounded by mountains and mountain springs. Sitting by the window, the scenery in front of you is pleasant, and the life is also very favorable, with delicious and hearty meals. Ma Biao also specially sent a mountain girl named Du Juan to serve them. Mother and Huang Wanqing are like birds in a cage, with wings that are difficult to fly! Mother thinks crankily every day, and often tells Huang Wanqing, and Huang Wanqing also feels strange: After coming to the cottage for so long, and the hospitality is so thoughtful and polite, there must be other intentions. She was upset, but she couldn't speak, and she comforted her mother in every possible way.

The cuckoo brought tea. The mother asked the cuckoo:

"Our mother and daughter have been here for many days, and we are very grateful for the warm hospitality of the king. It's just that my son Gu Mingqiu doesn't know his whereabouts, I have to go down the mountain to find it, please tell the king of the mountain, we will go down the mountain tomorrow. ”

Du Juan said the words to Ma Biao, and Ma Biao patted his thigh and said:

"Oh, it's really a godsend! Mingqiu's mother is my mother, and his sister married me as the lady of the village, and it couldn't be better!"

Immediately call the cuckoo over to pass the word.

Xiao Zhuge Hu Zongmin, a cottage military division, said:

"No, you can't. If Gu's mother refuses, Gu Mingqiu and we are righteous brothers, if Gu Mingqiu comes back, what will we say? If Gu's mother agrees, the king and that sister will marry, and when Gu Mingqiu comes back and cook raw rice and mature rice, Gu Mingqiu will have nothing to say. In my opinion, it's better to let Du Juan go and tell Gu's mother that the king has gone out of the mountain and will talk about it when he comes back. Gu's mother is a person who values love and righteousness, and we treat her well, and we will definitely refuse to leave. In the meantime, we might as well send someone to tempt and tempt. Gu's mother agreed, and was overjoyed, and if she disagreed, she slowly figured it out. ”

When Ma Biao heard this, he felt that Hu Zongmin's words were reasonable, and said:

"Reasonable, I listen to you, then there will be Lao Hu as a matchmaker!"

With that, he looked up and laughed.

When my mother heard that Ma Biao had gone out of the mountain, of course it was inconvenient to leave. During the day, she and Huang Wanqing went out of the building to walk outside, to take a break and relax, and their spirits were more relaxed.

Mother said:

"Wanqing, it's rare for you to be with you day and night these days, inseparable. If you hadn't rescued me that night, I would have burned to ashes. If only I had a biological daughter like you. ”

Huang Wanqing took her mother's hand and walked slowly along a mountain trail, saying:

"Madam, didn't I tell you a long time ago, I am willing to accompany you and serve you for the rest of my life, but I am afraid that Gu Mingqiu will not follow the donkey!"

The mother smiled and said:

"Silly girl, with me, my son is filial, how can he not listen to my flowers? ”

Huang Wanqing's heart was warm when she heard this, her face was full of crimson, and she said:

"Okay, that lady is my mother, and I won't leave you in this life. ”

They talked very speculatively, so happily that they forgot to return for a while.

When the red sun fell into the mountain, the two of them turned around and returned to the bamboo and wood building along the mountain road. The cuckoo had already arranged dinner and placed it on a wooden table, in addition to the delicacies of the mountains, there was also a large bowl of seafood soup.

Cuckoo Says:

"King Ma is back, this time he won a big victory, and specially boiled the spoils of the soup for the eldest lady to taste. ”

The mother was grateful, looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and suddenly had no appetite to pick up the chopsticks, but she didn't want to pick up the vegetables, and said to the cuckoo:

"Girl, your king often goes down the mountain to loot, and this dish also smells of blood. ”

The cuckoo hurriedly said:

"The king of my family is a good person, he only robs the money of the landlords and large families, only leaves a small part for his own use, and most of them help the poor, so people within a radius of dozens of miles support him. He only needs money and never hurts anyone. Really, I haven't killed a single person. ”

The mother was suspicious and said to Huang Wanqing:

"Let's eat, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. I'll wait until I hear the news of the revenge. ”

After dinner, the oil lamps were lit, and the two sat silently opposite each other, always feeling unsteady, but they didn't say anything.

Early the next morning, when Mother and Huang Wanqing were about to go out for a walk, Du Juan brought Hu Zongmin in and said, "Auntie, Miss Huang, Master Hu has come to see you two!"

Hu Zongmin sat down, greeted politely, and put forward the matter of Ma Biao marrying Huang Wanqing as his wife, and said with a smile:

"The owner of the horse village occupies the mountain as the king, the rich armor side, he does not worry about eating, he does not worry about wearing, he is righteous, upright, righteous, his brothers are loyal to him, support him, and he has a good martial arts, only in his early thirties, and he can be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people!"

Huang Wanqing said with a smile:

"It can only be regarded as one grass coward!"

Hu Zongmin waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't say that, girl, these years, the court is dark, traitors are in the way, filthy officials are rampant, and the common people are suffering. The owner of the horse village had no choice but to rise up from the pole, gather in the mountains and forests, and open his eyes for the people, which is really a righteous act! The girl is also an understanding person. ”

He looked at Gu's mother, then at Huang Wanqing, picked up the topic again, and said:

"The cottage is thriving, and the master of the horse village is doing everything well, but there is a lack of a lady who presses the village. ”

Mother and Huang Wanqing were shocked when they heard this, it turned out that Ma Biao was so attentive, and it was indeed a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting -- with bad intentions! Huang Wanqing did not wait for her mother to speak, so she preemptively refused, saying:

"Master Hu, I have been engaged since I was a child, please tell the owner of the village, and we will leave immediately. ”

Hu Zongmin smiled:

"The girl doesn't have to say it so absolutely! It couldn't be easier for the owner of the horse village to marry a lady of the village. It's your blessing to be able to look at you. If you have a marriage contract, you can discuss it, take more silver taels, and dissolve the marriage contract!"

Huang Wanqing deeply felt that she was in the tiger's den, and it was difficult to escape the disaster, so she said categorically:

"No, no, I don't know the owner of the horse village, the twisted melon is not sweet, let me out of the mountain, otherwise the little woman would rather die!"

Hu Zongmin remained silent and said with a smile:

"The owner of the horse village likes a strong woman like a girl. Don't worry, girl, think slowly, Hu will go to report to the owner of the horse village first, and everything will be considered in the long run. ”

The mother also knew that it was not good, thought of her son, looked at Huang Wanqing, and said:

"Mr. Hu, don't hide it, my son Gu Mingqiu's whereabouts are still unknown, how can I talk about Wanqing's marriage. ”

Huang Wanqing called out "Mother-" and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Hu Zongmin seemed to think of something, overjoyed, and said:

"Old lady, Ming Qiu and the master of the horse village are brothers, let's kiss and kiss!"

Huang Wanqing said:

"How can a vengeance fall into the grass? Don't fool people. ”

The mother also shook her head, expressing disbelief.

Hu Zongmin explained the ins and outs in detail, he stretched out his fingers and pinched them, and said:

"It's coming, it's coming soon......"

Huang Wanqing was anxious to say anything, and blurted out what was in her heart:

"Brother Hu, since you say so, my little sister should also tell the truth, I am not the biological mother of the eldest mother, but Gu Mingqiu's fiancée! ”

Hu Zongmin looked at his mother and asked:

"Auntie, is that so?"

Mother said:

"Yes, please Mr. Hu tell the owner of Ma Zhai that we thank him. ”

When Hu Zongmin heard this, he thought: How can there be such a clever thing in the world? He said goodbye to the two of them and went back to tell Ma Biao.

Ma Biao listened to Hu Zongmin's words, shook his head again and again, waved his hand and said:

"That's you, I don't believe it!"

Hu Zongmin said:

"The owner of the village, whether it is true or not, and wait for Gu Mingqiu to come back, in case what they say is true, not to mention that it hurts the brother's harmony, the people under him will know it, and it will also damage your prestige. As the saying goes, a friend's wife can't be bullied, let alone a sworn brother, the owner of the village, you have to think clearly. ”

Ma Biao said impatiently:

"I can't wait, since I saw her, I haven't been able to sleep all night, brother, I can't listen to you this time, besides, Gu Mingqiu went to the capital, there is more than luck, can you guarantee that he can come back? If he comes back, I will never treat him badly, can't I pick a more handsome one for him? I can also let the owner of the village be to him!"

Hu Zongmin said:

"The owner of the village, I am thinking about you, it is unkind and unjust to forcibly occupy a wife!"

Ma Biao slapped the table and shouted:

"What kind of forcible wife? She hasn't passed the door yet, why is she unkind and unjust? I have made up my mind, you can help me handle it, and it will be lively, the sooner the better!"

Hu Zongmin saw that he couldn't convince Ma Biao, so he said bluntly:

"That woman is fierce, and she is very urgent, and she will look for a short time. ”

Ma Biao sneered and said:

"My Hu Dajunshi, what she said is bluffing you! In short, everything can depend on you, but this matter is not allowed - wife, land, and grave mountain are not allowed!"

Hu Zongmin had no choice but to promise to organize a wedding ceremony.
