Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Cao Yue tried hard to put on an expression that showed he believed Ma Weijun's explanation: "Master, what are you talking about? How could I laugh at my aunt? We are from the same hometown. Have you forgotten that I also grew up in the countryside when I was a child? I still remember my hometown dialect."

"Very good. People should never forget their roots."

After Ma Weijun finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject: "Xiao Yue, how do you feel about taking on your new position today?"

Cao Yue patted his waist and said, "Not bad, I was also issued a sidearm, a Browning M1935."

"Damn! This is a damn good gun!" Ma Weijun's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh and said, "Take it out and show it to me."

"Hey, what did I teach you? Don't swear." Wen Qing slapped her husband in annoyance.

Ma Weijun turned his head and smiled reflexively. Just as he was about to bow and admit his mistake, he suddenly realized that his apprentice was right in front of him. He quickly straightened his back, winked at his wife, and then scolded her with a flat face:

"We are talking to men, why are you, a woman, butting in? Why don't you go to the kitchen and help? My sister can handle it by herself."

Cao Yue was stunned by the speed at which Ma Weijun's expression changed.

If this happened in later generations, he would definitely be a talented veteran actor.

Unfortunately, Wen Qing didn't intend to cooperate today.

She rolled her eyes coquettishly: "Alright, Xiao Yue is not an outsider, we don't need to sing opera to show off our masculinity, lest we teach him bad things. If he follows suit after getting married, his wife will hate us to death."

Ma Weijun smiled awkwardly and lowered his straight back again.

He knew his wife's plan, but he still didn't give up and wanted to match his sister-in-law with Cao Yue.

Cao Yue looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending not to notice his master's embarrassment, and lowered his head to pick up the teacup to drink tea.

As soon as my fingers touched the cup, the system's voice rang in my mind.

【Ding dong! 】

[Doucai Chicken Cup, made by the emperor during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. ]

Cao Yue's pupils suddenly trembled. He was so shocked that he took a big sip of tea unconsciously.

"Fuck me!"

Cao Yue was so burned that he almost exploded.

I almost threw the teacup away.

It scared him out of his wits.

"Xiao Yue, are you okay?" Wen Qing was heartbroken and rushed forward to check.

Cao Yue put the teacup on the table and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The tea is too hot."

Ma Weijun scolded him: "You are so impatient. How old are you?"

Cao Yue chuckled, then lowered his head to stare at the teacup and asked casually, "Master, this teacup is very beautiful. Where did you get it?"

Ma Weijun took a look and said casually, "Oh, when we first came to Sijiu City, we were placed in a courtyard house. Later, when we moved, I thought the teacup was nice, so I brought it out."

Wen Qing noticed that Cao Yue liked the teacup, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yue, do you like it? Just take it back when you leave."

Cao Yue took a deep breath and was shocked by the generosity of his master's wife.

This is the palace drinking vessel of Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty.

It was actually used by Ma Weijun as an ordinary teacup, what a waste of resources.

There are only a dozen or so Doucai Chicken Cups left from later generations.

Each one is priceless and most are kept in major museums around the world.

Fifty years later, a Doucai Chicken Cup was sold at a sky-high price of 2.8 million yuan.

If Ma Weijun allowed it, he would like to kiss Wen Qing as a thank you.

"Master's wife, this is Master's favorite teacup. How can I take it away?" Cao Yue refused against his will.

Wen Qing laughed: "What beloved teacup? They were originally a pair, but your master accidentally broke one of them..."

Cao Yue looked at Ma Weijun who didn't care at all, and felt sad for him. He felt even more sad for the descendants of Ma Dong, Ma Nan, Ma Qian, and others.

This will completely cut off the opportunity for future generations to become billionaires.

As for the broken porcelain pieces, you know without asking that they were lost.

"Master, Master's Wife, I really like this big rooster on the teacup. If you don't mind, I'll take it away."

In order to ensure the safety of the remaining Doucai Chicken Cup, Cao Yue decided to take it back home for safekeeping. At worst, he could compensate the Ma family later.

"Just take it. It's not a rare thing." Ma Weijun waved his hand generously.

"The better brother Yue."

At this time, several children from the Ma family returned home.

After Ma Dong and Ma Nan greeted Cao Yue, they did not leave but looked at him expectantly.

Cao Yue laughed and took out a few pieces of candy and gave each person a few pieces.

"Thank you, Brother Yue."

The two little guys couldn't wait to peel off the candy wrappers and eat the candy.

Behind them, Ma Xi came over with her cousin You Fengxia.

You Fengxia was timid and looked at Cao Yue with an evasive look.

"Fengxia, come here." Wen Qing waved to You Fengxia gently, "This is your uncle's apprentice Cao Yue, you have to call him brother."

You Fengxia glanced at Cao Yue shyly, lowered her head to look at her toes, and whispered, "Brother Yue."

Wen Qing held You Fengxia's hand and said with a smile, "Fengxia is too shy, not like her mother at all."

Cao Yue glanced at You Fengxia and understood her feelings.

Suddenly coming to the old city from the countryside, I couldn't help feeling inferior. Although I came to my uncle's house, it was not pleasant to live under someone else's roof.

You Fengxia had big, round eyes that were bright and lively. She would occasionally glance at other people's faces out of the corner of her eyes, obviously observing their expressions.

This is a smart little girl.

Ma Guihua has a carefree personality, but she is very efficient in her work.

The meal was ready in more than an hour.

Boiled fish, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, stir-fried cabbage and pork, and fried peanuts.

Looking at the table full of meat, vegetables and steamed buns, Ma Guihua sighed: "We didn't eat this well during the Chinese New Year in the countryside."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "We don't usually have so much meat to eat, this is all thanks to Xiao Yue."

Cao Yue smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

He just made hundreds of millions from his master with tears in his eyes, and the cost was almost zero. This missed item made him, who aspires to become the sixth best, feel a little embarrassed.

Ma Guihua looked at Cao Yue with a smile in her eyes: "Little Cao, you are not only handsome but also capable. If you become a son-in-law to someone in the future, your mother-in-law will wake up with laughter."

After hearing this straightforward compliment, Cao Yue blushed for the first time. "Auntie, I'm not as good as you say. There are many people who can catch fish in the countryside. I'm just pretending to be a big shot in the city."

"It's easy to catch fish, but it's hard to catch hares and pheasants. Xiaoyue, if you don't mind, teach me how to catch hares and pheasants when you have time. Then I won't have to worry about having meat to eat when I return to the countryside."

"Okay, no problem." Cao Yue agreed immediately.

"Fengxia, eat more fish." Wen Qing picked up some food for You Fengxia beside him.

"Sister-in-law, we don't eat fish. Now the smell of freshwater fish makes me want to vomit."

Ma Guihua said quickly: "You don't know, there is a big reservoir in the north of our village. The government often organizes people to catch fish. The big fish are shipped to the city by truck to sell, and the small ones are distributed to our members. Every family has enough to eat."

Cao Yue became interested: "Auntie, are there many fish in the reservoir?"

"There are so many of them, so densely packed. Our reservoir is the source of drinking water for the city. The water is very clean and the fish is delicious. But we are too poor. We don't have oil or seasonings at home. We just scoop water and add some salt to stew them. There is not much firewood, so the fish are half-cooked. We stew tofu and fish. The fish is not delicious if it is not cooked enough. Eating too much makes me sick."

"Now that the weather is cold, wild geese and ducks have come to the reservoir to spend the winter. They are so dense that they cover the sky. The wheat fields near the reservoir are almost bald."

"When it's hot, we fish and catch turtles. Some weigh dozens of kilograms, but they are too fishy, ​​so no one eats them and they are thrown on the shore."

Cao Yue was surprised and looked at his master: "Master, is this true?"

Ma Weijun nodded: "It's true. I went back to my hometown and shot wild geese and ducks. They don't fly very high, and I could shoot five or six with one shot from a shotgun."

Cao Yue became interested and decided to go back to his hometown if he had the chance.
