[Liang Zhu] Yingtai took me to fly

"My lord, the car is ready, it's time to go."

Hearing Sanqi's shout outside the door, Marvin sighed silently and stood up.

Zhu Yingtai stuffed the hand stove into his arms, patted it, and said: "Let me wish you an early year first, be careful along the way, don't catch the cold."

Marvin nodded and walked out of the room.The cold air hit outside the door, and he coughed lightly twice.

Zhu Yingtai walked behind and helped him wrap the furry collar of the cloak around him from behind.

The two walked out of the yard silently, before Ma Wen waved at Zhu Yingtai and said, "It's cold outside, you should go back to the house."

Zhu Yingtai just nodded, but didn't move.

Ma Wencai smiled, grabbed his hand, shook it, and said: "I'm going back, and I will also wish you an early year, see you next year."

He turned around and got on the bullock cart, poked his head out of the car window, and waved to Zhu Yingtai.

In the twelfth lunar month in the south of the Yangtze River, the temperature is not low, but it is very cold and humid.Ma Wencai was also more afraid of the cold than in previous years.

There was a small charcoal stove in the car, and it wasn't cold, but he still hugged the heater in his hand even tighter.

Back at the mansion, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year was strong, Ma Wencai smiled and watched the servants getting ready, and couldn't help thinking about it, Zhu Yingtai should go home today, Zhu Yingtai should be home today , Counting and counting, I forgot the day when my own brother came home.

When Xiao Chen'er arrived, the house was surrounded by the children's innocent laughter all day long, adding to the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year.Xiao Chen'er recognized someone this time, and when she saw Ma Wencai, she didn't let go, and asked him to play with building blocks.

Ma Wencai couldn't help with the affairs of the house anyway, so he focused on taking care of the children.Even his sister-in-law, Qiao Shi, said that with Ma Wencai, Xiao Chen'er became more cheerful.

After the Chinese New Year, Ma Wencai will be turning [-]. Not only the Chen family, but also Ma Taishou and Ma Wenyuan began to think about Ma Wencai's marriage.They couldn't speak directly, so they mentioned it to Mrs. Chen, reminding her to make some plans.

Chen still remembered that she had casually mentioned it to Ma Wencai during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he was not at all happy about it.

But this matter has to be said anyway, so she found a day when she was not busy, called Ma Wencai alone, and said: "Wencai, your father and brother have talked to me about your marriage these two days, you What are your plans?" She thought, after all, Ma Wencai is not an official, so she doesn't have to marry a daughter from a family, if there is someone she likes, she is more willing to follow him.

Ma Wencai's face turned pale suddenly.

Ever since the Chongjiu Festival and Zhu Yingtai communicated with each other, the two of them lived a comfortable life in the tireless residence for several months. He didn't know whether it was unintentional or deliberate, but he completely forgot the possible attitude of the family.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Mrs. Chen trembled in her heart, and said: "If you have a girl you like, then tell Aunt, don't worry."

The more tolerant Mrs. Chen was, the more guilty Ma Wencai felt. He walked up to Mrs. Chen, knelt down on her knees slowly, not daring to look her in the eyes, and said, "Auntie, I, I don't like anything. woman."

"No? It's fine if you don't..."

"But, I have a man I like," Ma Wencai interrupted her, and said with a trembling voice, "I like Zhu Yingtai."

Chen stayed silent for a while, then said hesitantly: "Mum knows, some people like to be with men these days, it's okay if it's just for fun..."

"That's not it," Marvin said. He raised his head, his eyes were red, and said, "Mother, I want to marry him like this, not that."

Chen's hands trembled, he touched his head, and said: "Son, you go back first, think about it, and Grandma think about it too."

Ma Wencai was already in tears. He had always made up his mind to make his parents happy, but he didn't want to give up easily.But Mrs. Chen was no longer willing to listen any more, and only asked him to go back, so he had to obey.

Back in my room, the scenes of the acquaintance with Zhu Yingtai so far flashed in my mind, and finally it was frozen into a gentle smiling face.

Zhu Yingtai often looks at him with a smile like this, not making a sound, neither too enthusiastic nor cold, like water and air, soft, tough, tolerant, and inseparable.

At the evening meal, Ma Wencai went to the back hall with bloodshot eyes, and his words and expressions seemed to be the same.

But at night, Ma Taishou called him over, and when he arrived, he shouted: "Kneel down!"

Ma Wencai lowered his head and knelt down without explaining a word.

Ma Taishou seemed very angry, pointed at him and trembled for a while, but couldn't say a word.He shouted again: "Where's the rattan? Bring the rattan!"

Chen stopped him, wiped his tears and said: "My lord, Wencai was beaten into a coma after Chinese New Year, and now his body is still weak, you will beat him to death!"

Eunuch Ma sighed and said, "Then how do you discipline such a rebellious son? I thought he had learned the lesson and understood the truth, but what happened? Will he marry a man?"

Ma Wencai saw that his face was flushed with anger, and his blood vessels protruded. He couldn't help shedding a few tears, and said, "Father, father, hit me, don't get angry."

Mrs. Chen comforted in a low voice, even Ma Wenyuan was alarmed, and came to ask what happened.Ma Taishou watched Ma Wencai knelt there and huddled into a ball, coughing a few times from time to time, feeling pain in his heart, waved his hands and said, "Go back." He closed his eyes and stopped looking at him.

Ma Wencai almost wanted to say, I listen to you in everything, but thought of Zhu Yingtai, and held back.He also wanted to explain that liking men was not a mistake, but he was afraid that it would add fuel to the fire of his parents.

He left silently, thinking to himself, he is a man, he should seriously think of a way, a way to get the best of both worlds.

But after that, he was locked up in his courtyard, and except for the New Year's Eve dinner, he couldn't even see his parents, let alone contact Zhu Yingtai.Sanqi and Liuqu were called to the front in turn for questioning. Even though they were just asking questions, they were terrified enough that Marvin felt a little guilty.In just a few days, he became terribly thin, almost catching up with the state when he was in a coma last year.

After a few days like this, Ma Taishou suddenly asked him to go to the front hall.

Marvin just tidied up, trying to make himself look better.But when he showed up, he still surprised a few people in the family.Chen clenched her handkerchief tightly, and secretly touched the corners of her eyes.

Ma Taishou moved the corners of his mouth, but in the end he just said coldly: "It's not polite, these are the elders of the Zhu family."

In the front hall, apart from Ma Taishou and Chen Shi, there was another strange middle-aged couple, Zhu Yingtai's parents Zhu Gongyuan and Teng Shi.

Marvin blushed, and then lost his blood again. He tried his best to restrain his panic, and showed all the courtesy.

But Ma Taishou seemed to just tell him to come and meet someone, and immediately waved him back.

Ma Wencai's mind was in a mess, and he didn't dare to think about why Zhu Yingtai's parents came here, or what happened to Zhu Yingtai at home.He recalled over and over again the phrase Zhu Yingtai said to him on Phoenix Mountain, "I want to know you and live forever".He thought to himself: Zhu Yingtai, as long as you don't give up, I will persevere.

Over there, Zhu Gongyuan talked with Teng and Ma Wencai's parents for a long time.When they got home, Zhu Gongyuan asked his servants, "Where is Yingtai?"

The servant replied cautiously: "Young master is still kneeling in the ancestral hall."

Zhu Gongyuan frowned, Teng also sighed, the two looked at each other, Zhu Gongyuan said: "Tell him to come to the study to see me."

Zhu Yingtai will arrive soon.He was almost carried by two servants. Because he had been kneeling for a long time, his knees felt like needle pricks when he exerted a little force.

Zhu Gongyuan pointed to the bed beside him, told him to sit down, and said: "Your mother and I went to Ma Taishou's mansion today."

Zhu Yingtai's complexion also changed, and she said, "No matter what, I will never let Ma Wencai go."

"Even if he let you go?"

Zhu Yingtai suddenly smiled and said, "Father, did you see him? He didn't give up, did he?"

Zhu Gongyuan snorted and said, "You have a good idea."

Zhu Yingtai's smile deepened, and he said: "If he gives up, father must be doing nothing for my son at this time. But as my father said to my father, Yihua seems to be casual, once he has made up his mind, But he can do everything. He usually doesn’t like to argue, and he doesn’t pay much attention to details, but he is very organized in his heart. He can’t say many touching words, but his sincerity to people and children is thicker than anyone else. My children believe in him , he deserves it too."

Zhu Gongyuan sighed straight away: "I said the last sentence, and you have ten sentences waiting. You have been very determined since you were young, and I am happy to see you like this. Who would have thought that you would have such a result."

Zhu Yingtai stopped talking, knelt down again with difficulty, and made a big salute.He knew that Zhu Gongyuan had already agreed, but he refused to give in verbally.

Zhu Gongyuan didn't bother to look at him, so he asked someone to carry him away quickly, and also to look at his legs, so as not to cause any problems.

Ma Wencai was also a little surprised to find that since Zhu Gongyuan and his wife came, the guard on him in the mansion has been relaxed a lot.He immediately went to Chen Shi.

He will tell every detail of getting along with Zhu Yingtai in the academy.

These things are what he has been thinking about these days, and now it is easier to say them.He talked about acquaintances and sworn brothers, about investigating the strike of the college, about looking for Mr. Song together, about winning the first place in the dragon boat race of the college, about saving the literati who were hunted down by the Qi family together, about how he cared for the sick The self in the book, talking about how he expresses himself and how he understands his mind.

There was so much to say between them, and every time he said a word, his feelings for Zhu Yingtai seemed to grow deeper.

Mrs. Chen is not that kind of narrow-minded person, she has also received an excellent education, so she is willing to listen carefully to what Ma Wencai has to say.Most of these things were mentioned in Ma Wencai's home letters, or in the words asked by Sanqi and Liuqu.But from Ma Wencai's mouth, it is different, more vivid and more affectionate.

She sighed, touched Ma Wencai's thin face, and said, "That day, Zhu Yingtai's parents came to visit our house just for the sake of the two of you. We know we can't stop you, and we don't want you Suffering. Just relax."

Ma Wen showed an unbelievable smile, and agreed so easily?

Chen Shi also showed a relaxed smile. What she didn't say was that they didn't object now but just didn't want to force the two to get closer. As for the future, it still depends on whether their relationship is still as strong as it is today.
