Uncle Summoning

Ma Guoan didn't expect that Ma Fufang didn't ask for any benefits for herself, but was wholeheartedly planning for her concubine sister who was not very close to her on weekdays. She couldn't help being a little surprised, and rolled her eyes:

"I am free to arrange Xiufang's marriage, but even if I no longer think about the property of the Bai family, you should also think about how to win over your husband. After five years of marriage, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to live in your in-law's house." Dad's planning of the Bai family's property is not all for myself, think about it, if the Bai family pharmaceutical factory is in the hands of our Ma family, Bai Gansheng and his old lady will not be able to follow you and coax you in everything? Can you still embarrass you by taking concubines at home over and over again?"

"I have my own arrangements for the affairs of the Bai family. Daddy will watch over it. In just one year, I will naturally keep the Bai family clean, and it will not be a waste of me being Ma Guoan's daughter once again."

Putting a tall hat on the old man casually, it really made him twitch his beard and laugh:

"I used to think that you were too soft-tempered, so I indulged the concubine Bai Gansheng to carry her home. Now it seems that you have the heart to fight, but now the most important thing is to have a son, even if it is the concubine's birth." You have to have a son as soon as possible after you take it into your own house to support. The most important thing for a woman to live in her husband's house is not some shit, virtuous and filial, but a son. As long as you have a son from the Bai family, even the one from the Bai family The old hag will give you three points."

He is a man himself, and Ma Guoan understands men's thoughts best. No matter how good-looking a woman is, she will get tired of it. The son is the real successor who can continue the blood. Without a son, everything is false.Ma Fufang naturally knew how many secret losses her father had suffered over the years, and she was obsessed with seeking a child, but she just smiled along with him:

"My daughter knows it because of my heart. Fortunately, although Bai Gansheng has taken several concubines, he still respects me. The two of us are now on the same level, and there is nothing wrong with it. In the past few years, I have also found countless concubines. The doctor has seen it, and said that there is nothing wrong with our bodies, but the opportunity has not come. As for the mother-in-law, since the uncle left, she only eats fast and recites Buddha on weekdays, and she doesn't interfere with the affairs of the daughter's room."

"Hmph, that damn old woman, just be honest now, just wait and see..."

Ma Guoan snorted a few times, and then ordered:

"Since you're here, eat before you leave. I'll send someone to deliver a letter to the Bai Mansion. You can hold your breath. Wait until Bai Gansheng comes to pick you up in person before going back to Bai's house with him."

Is this a test of my current status in the Bai family?Ma Fufang nodded and agreed, knowing that it might not be easy for Ma Guoan to change his plan for so many years, so she stopped persuading her. Not long after, the shopkeeper of Ma's shop came to report the account, so she took this opportunity to resign and leave. Walk towards Ma Xiufang's yard.

************************************************

At this time, Ma Xiufang also knew that her sister had returned to her mother's house, and she was feeling uneasy, and the needle and thread in her hand also stopped. She frowned and looked at Qiaohong, the close girl who was pouring tea for her, and thought to herself:

"What do you think the eldest lady came back for this time? If..."

If he was wronged at Bai's house and went to his natal family to file a complaint, and his wife would be in a bad mood, wouldn't he be in bad luck?This sister-in-law, who is used to making trouble out of nothing, has to find trouble for herself after she gets married.Ma Xiufang felt that her gentle skin would not be able to stick to it, she gritted her teeth and pinched the needle in her hand to poke the white silk embroidered cloth a few times, then put the bamboo stretcher on the window table, panting. After taking a few breaths, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a soft and pitiful smile:

"Let's go, take the pink peony poplin handkerchief I made a few days ago, and go with me to see the eldest sister whom I haven't seen for a long time!"

Qiaohong agreed, took out the handkerchief from the drawer and folded it neatly, and found a small box carved with red pine to put it in. She followed Ma Xiufang out of the yard, but she saw Ma Fufang coming with flowers and willows, with a ruby ​​on her head. The red gold jewelry shone brightly under the sun, and Ma Xiufang felt bored when it was shining.

Seeing the two of them standing at the door, Ma Fufang spoke first:

"This is because you knew I was coming, so you came out early to meet me?"

Ma Xiufang hurriedly smiled, and went up to hold Ma Fufang's arm:

"Naturally, our sisters have a good understanding. I heard that my sister is going back home, so I thought I must come to see my sister. I'm waiting for my sister to find me, but did you bring something good for my sister?"

Seeing that she came alone but asked for something, this girl is also a little thorn, Ma Fufang slandered in her heart, but she also knew that the two sisters had never been close.Speaking of it, it was because Ma Fufang was staunch and never looked down on this concubine girl, thinking that she was born from a low family background and full of pettiness, and Ma Xiufang was also a bit clever, knowing that she would not get anything from Mrs. Ma, so she never acted low-key. I often go to the main courtyard, but when I see Ma Fufang coming to my courtyard abnormally, I can't help but want to suppress her.

Ma Fufang replied with a smile:

"Why are you still begging for candy from me like a child? Naturally, the things I give you will be placed with your mother first, and you will have every penny. You are a big girl. Why do you become more and more stingy? What if you get married?"

Ma Xiufang is also Yunying's unmarried girl's family. He blushed when he heard her joke, and spat:

"Sister is the one who lived and went back, and even spoke so recklessly, wait until I tell mother to teach her a lesson!"

"It's a shame to marry a man and a woman, don't you think you'll be an old girl for the rest of your life?" Ma Fufang sat down on the couch by the window familiarly, picked up the needlework that Ma Xiufang had just made, and praised , "Which one is lucky to marry you, at least there is no shortage of good clothes, shoes, and handkerchiefs. Look at this peony embroidery. Anyway, I have never seen better ones."

While watching, winking at Ma Xiufang, Ma Xiufang took a few steps up and snatched the embroidered cloth:

"Is my sister here to make fun of me? I, I..."

As he said that, he started to sob, and Ma Fufang hurried forward to comfort him:

"But just a few jokes, why is it worth being really angry? Besides, I am really doing it for your own good. I rarely visit my mother's house on weekdays, and my mother takes care of so many chores in the house. You are still calm and quiet, and you don't come here on weekdays." Go to the main courtyard, if there is no one to help you bring up this matter, will it be delayed? Think about it, after all, you and I are still sisters, no matter how much we usually see each other, can I really hope that you will not be able to marry to be happy?"

What she said made Ma Xiufang a little moved. She usually avoided Mrs. Ma's family. Although she received a lot less attention, it was not easy to go out with her to meet people. Mrs. Ma's family hated her own mother deeply. Can you take the initiative to mention your marriage?Even if Master Ma can think of himself as a concubine, but it is not good for a father to intervene in this matter, isn't he going to let himself die of old age in this family?

She thought in her heart, but tears slowly leaked from her eyes:

"I know my sister is kind to me, but, just how can I say this? Even my sister's marriage is also the words of a matchmaker ordered by my parents, let alone me. I just look forward to..."

Ma Xiufang also has a bit of color, crying with pear blossoms and rain, Ma Fufang can't help but look charming and self-confessed. Thinking of the purpose of her coming, she coughed hurriedly and persuaded:

"Don't talk about these things, I just want to ask you, do you have someone you want to marry in your heart now? If there is, I can help you communicate with your mother to see what your parents mean."

"My sister also knows that I don't go out on weekdays, so where can I have a sweetheart?" The little beauty blushed again, sobbing, "If my sister really asks me, I am, I just want to find a confidant Consciousness is also my creation."

Ma Fufang looked at her as if she didn't seem to be lying. It seemed that she really didn't have a sweetheart, but she was relieved. Although she wanted to use Ma Xiufang to divert Ma Guoan's attention from the Bai family and herself, she didn't want to be a mandarin duck. Then come up with another complaining woman.

"In that case, I'll help you beat the side drums at my mother's place to see which one has an honest, honest and good-looking son who is worthy of our family. I just have to let you take a look at it before making an appointment. , if you like it, it’s up to you if you don’t want to.”

Seeing the sincere gratitude in Ma Xiufang's eyes, Ma Fufang did not tell her about letting Ma Xiufang go into labor and recruit a husband that she had discussed with Ma Guoan. Now, she has to make sure that her own mother can live comfortably for the rest of her life.However, an old fox like Ma Guoan would never let go of the Ma family's property until he died. Even if Ma Xiufang was really asked to recruit a husband, he must find someone who can be controlled, and he must leave a way out for himself early.

************************************************** **********

After perfunctory with his father and concubine sister, Ma Fufang had dinner at Ma's house, and when it was about to turn on the lights, Bai Gansheng sent Butler Huang to pick him up, but he didn't show up because of the entertainment.Knowing that it was Bai Gansheng's reluctance to meet Ma Guoan, she only showed an expression that she wanted to be wronged but she didn't want to worry her family, and persuaded the two elders of the Ma family to go back. Walk.

Butler Huang is Huang Caiwei's father, and he is also a well-known successor of the Bai family. At the beginning, Huang Caiwei's mother had a concubine relationship with the old man of the Bai family, but there was an old lady of the Bai family who was always ignorant of the practice and refused to die. Holding on to the jar of vinegar, he betrothed Huang Caiwei's mother to Huang Butler. Later, after giving birth to Huang Caiwei, she passed away, which made both the old man of the Bai family and Huang Butler grieve. One swore never to remarry for the rest of his life—it turned out that they were all lovers.

It was also the first time that Ma Fufang saw this lover here. She only saw a silhouette, but it was very thin, so she asked:

"Housekeeper Huang, how is Caiwei doing now? Ever since Eldest Young Master left, I have seen her look haggard, but is she not feeling well?"

Butler Huang was taken aback for a moment. The eldest lady never regarded her as a servant, let alone her daughter Huang Caiwei, but she hurriedly replied:

"Thank you Madam for thinking about it. Caiwei is in good health. It's just that she has a lot of thoughts. She thinks about too many things on weekdays, and she can't sleep well at night. It doesn't hurt to ask the doctor to see her."

"Caiwei is a good-looking kid who values ​​love and righteousness. I usually see him as filial to the old lady. The old lady is actually soft-hearted towards Caiwei, but it's hard to say it. The past is over. , People have to look forward while they are alive, and Steward Huang has to persuade her more on weekdays, don't stick to the past, if she is not doing well, the uncle must not be at peace, right?"

Butler Huang just said yes.
