Summary of the previous chapter: The book was not purchased, and the fifty taels of silver were confiscated by sister-in-law Li Qinghan because of Ma Xiaoquan's leak...
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head helplessly, Li Qinghan, Li Qinghan, if it weren't for your beauty, Mr. Ma, I would have snatched the fifty taels from you, oh no, it was five hundred taels... He
Damn it, this damn woman is too arrogant, no, I have to find an opportunity to rub his energy, hum...
...
Back at Ma's house, Mrs. Ma had already ordered her servants to prepare food. Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan and others had returned together, she happily stepped forward to greet them.
"Qinghan, did you go out to buy gifts?"
Li Qinghan nodded: "Yes, grandma, Ma Xiaoquan bought it all."
Mrs. Ma looked at Ma Xiaoquan and found a bitter look on Ma Xiaoquan's face.
Looking at Li Qinghan again, he looked proud again.
Mrs. Ma said oh, finally understanding in her heart.
Qinghan, Qinghan, if one day you knew that Ma Xiaoquan was the first generation head of the family, would you still bully others like this? Hey...
While he was hesitating, the door of Ma's house suddenly rang.
It is already evening now, and theoretically few people will knock on the door at this time.
The housekeeper Ma Tong personally stepped forward and opened the door, but saw a middle-aged man and a young man standing outside the door.
"Excuse me, are you..."
The middle-aged man chuckled: "If what my eldest brother told me is correct, you are the housekeeper of the Ma family, right?"
Ma Tong was stunned for a moment and said: "Your eldest brother?" Ma Tong squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man. This man...his face seemed to be similar to that of a
Friends look alike, right?
"Who are you Zi Shaohua?" Ma Tong asked tentatively.
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "It's my elder brother, Zi Shaoyan."
"Brother? Oh, I'm disrespectful. You are from the Zi family. Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."
The middle-aged man hummed and nodded to the young man next to him. The young man bowed to Ma Tong respectfully: "Boy Zilong, this is my first time at Ma's house. Hello, Uncle Ma Tong."
Ma Tong nodded and quickly let the two people in.
"Brother Zi, please come with me. I'll report it to Madam right away!"
“It’s time to work”
...
In the main hall, several women from the Ma family were talking to each other about today's shopping in Wangfujing.
As the saying goes, three women make a show. The elder sister-in-law Li Qinghan, the second sister-in-law Qiao Yu, and the cute little girl Liu Xiangxiang join in the drama, and they never stop talking about it.
Mrs. Ma is also a woman, and when she was young, she was envious and caring of these junior girls. Two of them were her granddaughter-in-law. Although the other one was not, she was cute and very well-behaved and polite. Mr. Ma
People also like it very much.
Ma Xiaoquan was depressed. Now it was women's home court. As an "outsider", he had no place to intervene here.
Uncle Tong just went over to open the door. Dinner could not be served until Uncle Tong came back. After much deliberation, Ma Xiaoquan decided to go find Uncle Tong.
When I walked to the door of the main hall, I came face to face with a middle-aged man. Behind the man, there was a young man.
When they met each other, Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and then called out: "Is it you?"
The middle-aged man was also stunned, but soon he came to his senses and nodded: "It's me. I didn't expect that you are from the Ma family, but I don't know who you are?"
Ma Tong stepped forward and introduced Zi Shaoyan: "Brother Shaoyan, this is the boy of my Ma family, ranked fourth, Ma Xiaoquan."
"Ma Xiaoquan?" Zi Shaoyan was stunned again, and quickly took out a portrait from his arms, unfolded the portrait and looked at Ma Xiaoquan a few more times.
"It looks like, it looks so similar, how can it be so similar?"
Ma Xiaoquan was a little curious. He came up and looked at the portrait painting in Zi Shaoyan's hand. He was surprised and said: "Isn't this me? Uncle, how come you have my portrait? Where did you get this portrait of me in your hand? It's simply
Too similar?"
At this time, Mrs. Ma heard the sound and came out. When she saw it was Zi Shaoyan, she smiled and said, "Shaoyan, what kind of wind brings you here from Zi's house?"
Zi Shaoyan put away the scroll, glanced at Ma Xiaoquan again, and then respectfully said to Mrs. Ma: "Aunt Yang, Mrs. Ma's surname is Yang. I haven't visited you for a long time. You are well."
Mrs. Ma chuckled: "No one has called me that for a long time, come in, come in."
Zilong walked out and bowed ninety degrees to Mrs. Ma.
"This is..." Mrs. Ma looked at Zi Shaoyan with some confusion.
Zi Shaoyan said: "Oh, haha, Aunt Yang, this is my brother's third son, Zilong."
Mrs. Ma clicked her tongue and praised: "He looks very talented, he is really a handsome man."
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and felt a sense of sourness in his heart: Grandma, why do I think I'm more handsome than that Zilong? You only praise others, but why do I never listen to you praise me?
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan pouting, Zi Shaoyan chuckled and smoothed things over: "Isn't Ma Xiaoquan, the fourth son of the Ma family, also a handsome man? Haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Zi Shaoyan with satisfaction and thought to himself, Uncle Zi, you are on the road, um, not bad, your party spirit is very good, I will give you a five-star praise, hehe...
...
When the guests entered the main hall, Mrs. Ma asked: "Stop talking, have you had dinner? Let's eat together?"
Zi Shaoyan shook his head and said: "After eating Aunt Yang"
"Eh? Have you eaten? The food outside is not as delicious as the food at Ma's house. Come on, come on, add two pairs of chopsticks, eat some more, eat some more..."
It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Zi Shaoyan no longer refused. After sitting down with Zi Long, the Ma family's servants immediately gave them a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Zilong happened to be sitting opposite Li Qinghan. Facing Li Qinghan, Zilong's face started to feel hot unconsciously.
Li Qinghan didn't pay attention to Zilong's expression at all. At this moment, she was gritting her teeth and secretly pinching Ma Xiaoquan's arm.
Ma Xiaoquan endured the pain in his arm with a smile, pretended to be calm and picked up a piece of tofu, and said to Li Qinghan: "Sister-in-law, come here, I will give you some tofu." After that, Ma Xiaoquan put the tofu in
In Li Qinghan's bowl.
Li Qinghan reluctantly let go of his hand: "Who wants to eat your tofu? I can't pick it up myself?"
Ma Xiaoquan smashed his lips and said: "Okay, then I can eat your tofu, okay?"
Li Qinghan rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan: "Whatever you want!"
"Really?" Ma Xiaoquan was amused. This Li Qinghan didn't even know the meaning of eating tofu, haha...
