Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan proposed to hold a party, but unfortunately he did not become the host... He originally thought of teaming up with his sister-in-law Li Qinghan to become the host, but ended up becoming Zilong and Li Qinghan...
Ma Xiaoquan sat quietly in the corner, sorting out the firecrackers in his hands without saying a word.
There was still a while until the time to set off the cannons, so Ma Xiaoquan took his time to sort it out.
On the other side, Zilong confidently showed off his "hosting" experience to Li Qinghan, who had just partnered with him as a "host", and also vowed that when Li Qinghan arrived at Zijia Academy, they would have the opportunity to meet him.
People cooperate again and so on...
Li Qinghan smiled politely, but she didn't listen to a word Zilong said.
At this time, Zi Shaoyan asked someone to tell Zi Long that something was wrong. Zi Long shrugged regretfully and walked away.
Li Qinghan turned his head and looked around, and found Ma Xiaoquan alone in the corner sorting firecrackers, and couldn't help feeling worried.
From the beginning to the end of the party, Li Qinghan kept thinking about Ma Xiaoquan, wondering what he was doing? Why did he make such a good proposal, but didn't become his partner?
Walking to Ma Xiaoquan, Li Qinghan saw that Ma Xiaoquan was thinking about something. Li Qinghan asked softly: "Ma Xiaoquan, what are you thinking about?"
Ma Xiaoquan raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Sister-in-law, didn't you have fun chatting with Zilong?"
Li Qinghan secretly scolded Ma Xiaoquan for being stupid, but on the surface he smiled and said: "No, we are just temporary partners."
Ma Xiaoquan's heart wrinkled with sourness, and he curled his lips and said: "Temporary partner? I don't see it, right?"
Li Qinghan frowned and stamped his feet fiercely: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are such a blockhead! Idiot!" After saying that, Li Qinghan turned around and left.
Ma Xiaoquan watched Li Qinghan go away inexplicably, and said to himself: "I didn't offend her, why is she so angry? It's really..."
Not far from Ma Xiaoquan, the second sister-in-law Qiao Yu gently shook her head and sighed: "Quanzi is really a piece of wood, hey."
Just as he was talking, Mrs. Ma came over and asked, "Yu'er, who do you think is stupid?"
Qiao Yu was startled and quickly bowed respectfully to Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay, Yu'er, who are you calling stupid?"
How dare Qiao Yu lie in front of her grandma and truthfully describe the scene she just saw to Mrs. Ma.
After listening to Qiao Yu's description, Mrs. Ma pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Yu'er, grandma wants to ask you, do you think the purple dragon from the Zi family... is suitable for Qinghan?"
Qiao Yu looked at Mrs. Ma with some horror and asked, "Grandma, do you want Yu'er to tell the truth or lie?"
"Of course it's the truth!"
Qiao Yu nodded and whispered: "Zi Long from the Zi family... is good at both civil and military skills, and looks very good. From the current point of view, he seems to be a pretty good-looking man... But...
....Grandma, I have something to say, whether you would like to hear it or not..."
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter."
Qiao Yu said: "I think the person that Sister Qinghan likes is Quanzi."
"Huh?" Mrs. Ma raised her eyebrows and motioned for Qiao Yu to continue.
Qiao Yu had nothing to fear after saying this, and continued in a low voice: "I have observed the behavior of Sister Qinghan and Quan Zi, and somehow I feel that they are very destined. Although it seems that they are always at odds, I believe
, they must already have each other in their hearts...but...maybe because of Sister Qinghan's status as Quanzi's sister-in-law...Sister Qinghan has never revealed it too much.
My own thoughts..." After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he raised his head and secretly glanced at grandma's expression.
"Well..." Mrs. Ma nodded, "What about Quan'er? What does Quan'er think?"
Qiao Yu frowned slightly and said: "I think Quanzi has similar thoughts to Sister Qinghan, but...grandma, I always feel that after seeing Quanzi this time, I don't feel like the Quanzi before.
Son..."
Mrs. Ma felt a sense of sadness in her heart. The real Quan'er was sleeping in a hidden ice cellar at this moment, and the "Quan'er" in front of her was actually the first generation head of my Ma family.
Mrs. Ma gently waved her hand to Qiao Yu, signaling Qiao Yu to step back. After Qiao Yu bowed her body and stepped back, Mrs. Ma turned to look at Ma Xiaoquan in the corner and thought to herself: First generation head of the family, who are you?
What do you think? What will our Ma family be like in the future?
...
At the end of Haishi and the beginning of Zishi, which is equivalent to 12 o'clock at midnight in modern times, the streets began to become lively.
From this moment on, it will be 1621 AD, the first year of Tianqi, the new era of the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Xiaoquan led his nephew and niece out of the door of Ma's house. The two little guys looked at the fireworks in the sky and jumped happily.
Qiao Yu was worried about the children and quickly stepped forward to pull the children into his arms.
The little girl Jiaojiao plucked her mother Qiao Yu's bun, and said with a milky voice: "Mother, please, Jiaojiao wants to play with her fourth uncle. Jiaojiao wants to play with her fourth uncle."
Qiao Yu smashed the bar and said: "No, firecrackers are dangerous! I'm with my mother."
Jiaojiao raised her mouth and looked at her younger brother. The little boy blinked and said, "Mom is obviously going to play with my fourth uncle."
Qiao Yu sighed and turned to look at her husband Ma Yuan. Ma Yuan stepped forward and patted his son's little head: "Let them play, it's rare to see Quan Zi face to face..."
Qiao Yu glared at her husband: "You never take care of your children. What if they get blown up by firecrackers?"
Ma Yuan smiled awkwardly and scratched his scalp.
"You and Quanzi take care of the child together!" Qiao Yu ordered.
"Ah? What about your wife?"
"Me?" Qiao Yu turned around and glanced at Li Qinghan who was standing inside the door, "I want to have a chat with Sister Qinghan."
"This... okay" Ma Yuan reluctantly took the two children and walked towards Ma Xiaoquan, shaking his head.
...
Qiao Yu walked to Li Qinghan and waved in front of Li Qinghan's eyes, but Li Qinghan was indifferent.
"Sister Qinghan? Sister-in-law? Sister Qinghan?" Qiao Yu called out twice, but Li Qinghan still didn't respond.
Qiao Yu was very curious and looked in the direction of Li Qinghan's gaze. At this glance, Qiao Yu immediately understood.
The direction Li Qinghan looked at was Ma Xiaoquan. At this time, Ma Xiaoquan was holding his nephew in one hand and holding a long incense stick in the other hand. In front of them, there was a thick "two-legged" double-ring.
gun.
The little nephew lay tightly in Ma Xiaoquan's arms, but his two big eyes were staring at the double cannon.
Ma Xiaoquan pulled off his shirt, held his nephew in his arms, and slowly approached the cannon guide with Changxiang's hand.
"Chichi..." The cannon primer was lit by Ma Xiaoquan, making a sound like water pouring into a dry pot.
As the cannon primer gradually burned and shortened until it was submerged in the cannon body, there was first a "bang", then the second leg lifted into the air, followed by a huge explosion.
In the night sky, there were flashes of fire, just like stars.
"Wow" the little nephew jumped out of his head happily and kept clapping his little hands.
Ma Yuan, the second son of the Ma family, was holding his daughter. Seeing that her daughter was shivering in his arms, he couldn't help but smile and took his daughter back to his mother.
Although Jiaojiao is obviously older, she is still a girl, and compared to her younger brother, Jiaojiao is still much less courageous.
Ma Xiaoquan put his little nephew Ming Ming on top of his head and let the little guy ride on his neck. The little guy grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's hair, and with Ma Xiaoquan howling, he rode up "smoothly".
"Pfft" Li Qinghan saw this scene and almost laughed out loud while covering his mouth.
"Eh? Sister Yu? When did you?" Li Qinghan came to his senses and found Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu crossed his arms and said "I understand" on his face.
"What's wrong? Are there flowers on my face?" Li Qinghan touched his pretty face unnaturally.
Qiao Yu came closer and said, "Sister Qinghan, who were you looking at just now?"
Li Qinghan blushed: "I...how can I..."
"Uh huh" Qiao Yu had an "I don't believe it" look on her face, which made Li Qinghan feel feverish.
Qiao Yu said: "Sister Qinghan, my dear sister-in-law, were you watching Quanzi just now?"
"I...I didn't," Li Qinghan said involuntarily.
"Okay, just watch it. We are sisters, and I won't say anything to you. Sister Qinghan, tell me...you are going to get married to Quanzi in the future, and how many children are you going to have?
?”
"Qiao Yu, you hate it." Li Qinghan did not reject Qiao Yu's words, but instead started to fight with Qiao Yu.
...
Not far from Li Qinghan and Qiao Yu, Zilong clenched his fists tightly.
He heard the conversation between the two girls just now. Unexpectedly... He didn't expect that the sister-in-law actually liked Ma Xiaoquan? Why? Why is this?
Zi Biao came forward, looked at his younger brother's expression, understood, shook his head and said: "Zi Long, you are the son of my Zi family, you must persevere and work hard!"
Zilong was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Second brother, I understand! I will, I will definitely do it!"
Zi Biao sighed and said: "Zi Long, it's not that the second brother is talking about you. Although you are calmer than the second brother, you are very inexperienced in the issue of men and women...Although Li Qinghan is good, she
He is from the Ma family, so if the second brother were you, you would definitely think carefully about it."
"Second brother" Zilong shook his head, "Didn't the eldest brother say that no one can explain emotional matters, and I can't control my thoughts. I just like her. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her...
....She will also go to Zijia Academy in the next year. I think I will have a lot of opportunities..."
Zi Biao shook his head and stopped talking. Is it true that no one can control emotional matters like the elder brother said...
Zi Biao raised his head, looked at the bright fireworks exploding in the night sky, and couldn't help but said: "With such fireworks, I wonder what it will look like in a few hundred years?"
