Chapter 118 The fifth son of the Ma family, the second child suffers the most
Chapter 118 Of the five sons of the Ma family, the second one suffers the most (please subscribe!)
The inner hall of the General's Mansion, which has not yet been renamed Yongzhou Governor's Mansion.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang...
The sounds of skin being slapped are endless, dense and intense,
It makes people's scalp numb when they hear it.
Three-and-a-half-year-old Ma Qian had a runny nose and raised his head, with boundless fear in his eyes.
He had never seen his always gentle and kind grandmother get so angry, nor had he seen his fifteen-year-old brother Marvin receive such a severe beating.
Just because my eldest brother talked back to my mother.
Ma Qian's little head couldn't figure out why he would not be beaten at the age of three and a half even if he contradicted his mother. Instead, he would be held in her arms by his mother and made love to her, praising her as "My son is so good."
, and if the eldest brother contradicts his mother, he will be slapped on the palm with a bamboo board.
Is it because the eldest brother is a little too old?
There are many, many things that he can't figure out either.
For example: Why do people want to stop breastfeeding? Why can’t they keep eating? Grandma is so sweet and delicious!
For example: Why is the twelve-year-old second brother called Ma Jian instead of Ma Liang?
Mr. Enlightenment just told him some time ago that the names of the five brothers are in the order of "gentle, respectful, humble", so why isn't the second brother named Ma Liang?
He couldn't understand why his third brother, Ma Gong, still wet the bed at the age of nine. He stopped wetting the bed at the age of three. Even if his mother gave him a wet bed from time to time at night...he felt that he would never wet the bed.
He is no longer a three-year-old child.
Also, the six-year-old fourth brother is named Ma Shun, but why is he as stubborn as a donkey? He is beaten by his mother every day and still refuses to change.
What Ma Qian couldn't understand the most was that he seemed to have a father and yet he didn't.
Every time his brothers proudly talked about interesting things with their father (Ma Su), he could only stare in envy until his eyes widened.
He hasn't met his father yet... maybe he has, but he doesn't remember what his father looks like.
Ma Qian has always been very good at watching eyes. Usually when his mother loses her temper, he is very obedient and is ready to hit wherever she calls. So, when his mother asked him to bring the bamboo board just now, he just gave up.
Dianpi Dian ran to get the bamboo board instead of trying to persuade her mother not to hit her elder brother.
Therefore, he was a little frightened by his elder brother's vicious eyes.
So, he cried loudly, sat on the ground and kicked his short legs, complaining reluctantly: "Mother, brother, he is staring at me, I am so scared... so scared..."
The snapping sound suddenly became louder and faster.
Ma Qian cried for a while longer, and then he put away his behavior with satisfaction.
Ji saw a look of begging for mercy, aggrieved, and helpless flashing through his eldest brother's eyes. He got up from the ground, hugged one of his mother's knees, and made a face at his eldest brother.
Huh, how dare you mess with me? Who has the highest status in this family? Doesn't the eldest brother know?
Not counting?!
After making a face, Ma Qian suddenly widened his eyes, looked at the door of the hall, and froze.
Forgot to speak.
There was a man standing at the door, very tall.
Ma Qian felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it in his little head.
Mrs. Ma quickly sensed the abnormality of her child, stopped lecturing her eldest son, glanced down first, and then followed her younger son's line of sight and saw Ma Su standing at the door of the hall.
A strong surprise surged out suddenly, filling her chest instantly. Madam Ma's chest heaved violently, she quickly threw away the bamboo board, called "Husband" affectionately, and then lowered her head shyly...
Quietly waiting for Ma Su to rush over bravely, hug her, even carry her, and go straight to the back room...
In the past, Ma Su did this every time he came back from a business trip.
Unreasonable and invincible.
That long separation is better than a wedding that makes people think...
However, this time seems different.
Mrs. Ma waited for a long time, but received nothing. Instead, she heard her eldest son Ma Wen timidly call "Father".
She raised her head in disappointment, looked at the Qiang girl slowly appearing from behind Ma Su, and suddenly understood something.
It's not like she hasn't heard the rumors about the guards at the door.
She married Ma Su when she was sixteen years old, and gave birth to five children in the past sixteen years, all of which were boys. This woman's virtue is as good as the sky.
The most important thing is that she and Ma Su have been in love for more than ten years, and their emotional foundation is as solid as an iron rock.
Moreover, at the age of 32, she still retains her charm.
With many advantages at hand, she scoffed at the rumors that "Ma Di has a new love".
But now, this iron rock seemed to have been shattered into slag in an instant, along with her heart.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Hearing the child's tender voice, Mrs. Ma suddenly came back to her senses, wiped her eyes, and found that her palms were sparkling.
She glanced at the uninvited daughter and the unfamiliar-looking husband again, bent down and picked up her youngest son, fled quickly to the inner room, lay down on the bed and sobbed.
Tears flowed like bursting dams.
In the hall.
Ma Su looked at the four boys of different sizes who had gathered after hearing the news. He closed his eyes and tried to instill in himself "I have five sons and I am their father" more than a hundred times. Then he opened his eyes and entered the father's room.
Role.
Meet them one by one and ask about their names, ages, studies and dreams.
And the current situation at home.
How many servants are there in the house? How many maids are there?
The four boys rushed to answer all the questions, and also told many questions that Ma Su had not asked.
How old are the maids? Are they in good shape? Who has the best figure? Are they good-looking? Who is the prettiest...
After half an hour, Ma Su probably had a general understanding of the situation of "his" new home.
There are currently a total of 106 people in the mansion, including the wife and five sons, a steward and his family, ten couples of male and female servants, and five young unmarried maids.
Of course, there are now one hundred and eight people.
The steward's surname is Li. He is in his forties. He has been a servant of the Ma family since his grandfather's generation, so he is very honest and has the unique restraint and rigidity of people of this era.
When you see Ma Su, you will kneel down.
Domestic servants, strictly speaking, are slaves without any human rights. Life and death are all under the control of the master's family.
Therefore, the etiquette is different from that of outsiders.
Ma Su calmly accepted Manager Li's gift and asked him to arrange two upper rooms and move in with the Qiang girls.
The two upper rooms are connected and divided into an outer room and an inner room.
As soon as she entered the room, the Qiang girl was a little nervous. She lowered her head and wrung her fingers, feeling particularly embarrassed.
Although children of Jianghu don't have to stick to formalities, they can sleep together if they see each other right... But she feels that her relationship with Ma Su is still far, far away from that step.
So her mind was swinging back and forth between willingness and unwillingness.
It would be best if everything comes naturally, but if Ma Su chooses to do it forcefully, she can accept it.
When a helpless woman comes to his house with a man, she has already acquiesced to many things.
Fortunately, Ma Su did not make any extraordinary move. After leading her into the back room, he left.
The Qiang girl let out a long sigh of relief.
Ma Su lay down at the window of the outer room, quietly looked into the backyard, and eavesdropped on the conversation of the four "sons", hoping to hear something useful from them and quickly integrate into the family.
But how to integrate quickly? He didn't know.
Even the character of the original owner Ma Su is unclear.
This obvious flaw will be infinitely magnified when faced with family members who get along day and night.
Therefore, for the time being, we can only take one step at a time.
Previously, he had known the origin of the names of his five sons through the mouths of his four sons.
Gentle (frugal), respectful and modest.
Because Ma Su's fourth brother was named Ma Liang, the second brother's name became Ma Jian.
The age difference among the five sons is three years. The eldest, Ma Wen, is fifteen years old this year, and the youngest, Ma Qian, who was the one who gave Ma Wen a severe beating before, is three and a half years old this year.
Ma Wen is brave, Ma Jian is delicate, Ma Gong is honest and honest, Ma Shun is rebellious, and Ma Qian is an elf.
In the backyard, the four sons were having a heated argument.
"Do you think the fifth brother is bad? We should unite and stop playing with him." Ma Wen looked around at the three younger brothers and suggested angrily.
The palms of his hands would be swollen, and half of the credit goes to his fifth brother Ma Qian.
Passing bamboo boards again adds fuel to the fire and adds insult to injury.
Such a small little thing, there are many bad things to do.
Ma Gong, the third child, and Ma Shun, the fourth child, nodded in sympathy. They had also suffered from the fifth brother Ma Qian.
Ma Jian, the second child, said weakly: "Brother, I think the fifth brother is quite cute. How about forget it? They are all brothers. Is there anything we can't just laugh off?"
Ma Wen immediately pointed his finger at Ma Jian and asked angrily: "Second brother, it seems that you are going to side with the fifth brother."
Ma Jian waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Brother, I don't have it. The fifth brother is only three years old. We are all brothers, so we have to let him."
Ma Wen glanced at his second brother standing in front of him angrily: "Give, let, let, the more we give in, the more he will push further!"
"This time I have to give him some perspective on whatever I say! He could have persuaded my mother with just one sentence, but he brought a bamboo board and asked my mother to beat me hard!"
"You say that every time, but you still don't forgive him in the end." Ma Jian patiently advised:
"Brother, don't be angry. It's just you. You just tell your mother the rumors you heard. You also ask her to analyze the reasons and prove that your father does have a new love. Aren't you looking for a fight? No matter how much my fifth brother is doted on by his mother, he can't stop it.
.”
Should I be beaten for co-writing?
The fact that my father has a new love is not a piece of cake.
Ma Wen glared at Ma Jian: "Did I say something wrong???"
Ma Jian looked at him with complicated eyes and said nothing.
That's right, your father's affairs, is that something you should worry about?
You actually said in front of your mother that your father has a new love...
If I were the fifth brother, I would also ask my mother to beat you until you die.
After a moment of silence, Ma Jian suddenly changed the subject and said: "Eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, do you feel that my father is different from before?"
Ma Wen was startled: "What's the difference?"
The third and fourth children also shook their heads, looking confused.
None of them noticed any changes in Ma Su.
Ma Jian racked his brains and thought for a moment: "My father used to be very strict and would punish us with a bamboo board for every little thing. Now my father is very easy-going and looks younger. Also, my father doesn't seem to remember our names."
After Ma Jian said this, the brothers suddenly realized.
It seems like this is really the case!
"Do you think my father has been replaced by someone else?" Ma Jian suddenly made a shocking guess: "Would you like to check..."
The brothers' eyes lit up.
What the second brother said makes sense, maybe this is really the case.
No, I have to check my father to see if someone else is pretending to be...
What a great idea! Ma Su's eyes lit up when he heard this, then he picked up the bamboo board and walked out with a straight face.
After a while, the sound of "slapping" was heard in the backyard.
and the cries of four brothers.
Among them, the second oldest one, Ma Jian, cried the loudest.
"Swap the package, right? New love, right? Check it out, right?"
