Summary of the previous chapter: Cao Cao returned to Ye in triumph and immediately came to meet Ma Xiaoquan. The two talked about wine and mentioned Lu Xian, Cao Cao guessed that Lu Xian might be in Yecheng, Ma Xiaoquan was very surprised by this, after Cao Cao left, Yuan also said that Lu Xian was in Yecheng, but he didn't let Ma Xiaoquan go to find it

+++++++++++++++++++In May of the 21st year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (216 AD), Cao Cao was named King of Wei by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Since Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are almost no people with different surnames who claim to be kings, and Cao Cao's promotion should be said to be of epoch-making significance.

As the so-called one person ascends to heaven, after Cao Cao, the king of Wei, announced his inauguration, he immediately raised the treatment of his own officials, and Ma Xiaoquan was also "lucky" to be among them.

At the same time, Ma Xiaoquan's apprentice Mao Gang also sent a letter back from Xiangyang, saying that he was attached to Jiangnan and had purchased some properties in Jiangnan, and wanted to live for some time to take care of it.

Ma Xiaoquan had expected Mao Gang's move, and it seemed that Mao Gang probably knew about Murong Ziyan's kidnapping last time.

Fortunately, take this opportunity to take back the treasure that Mao Gang hid in Yuyang.

However, since Mao Gang can hide treasures, he will definitely arrange eyeliner in Yuyang, if he wants to rush over to collect it, he will definitely startle the snake, and moreover, Mao Gang is his apprentice after all, how to say that the two did not turn their faces on the bright side, if they are so reckless, I am afraid that they will startle the snake.

Ma Xiaoquan actually wanted to correct Mao Gang, but the genealogy collected by the uncle clearly stated that Mao Gang was killed by Ma Zheng, so Ma Xiaoquan could only endure it.

"Yuan, can't I deal with Mao Gang?"

"No, that's what Ma Zheng should do."

"What about Ma Xiao?"

"Ma Xiao will be killed by Mao Gang!"

"Isn't it, this is my eldest son, the future head of the Ma family?"

"Less of you, Ma Xiaoquan, you tell the truth, if it weren't for the rule of standing tall and not young, do you want Ma Zheng to pick up your baton?"

Ma Xiao nodded heartily.

Indeed, if Ma Xiaoquan were to choose the heir of the head of the family, Ma Xiaoquan would prefer Ma Zheng.

Ma Xiao is too calm, this is the best choice for the owner of the house in peacetime, but it is still a troubled time, and it will be in the next few decades. If you want to survive in troubled times, you first have to be despicable and ruthless.

Ma Zheng has partnered with Wang Dali, and he has also learned a lot of rogue and hooligan tricks from Wang Dali, and people like Ma Zheng are easier to survive in this troubled world.

"Hey, I knew that I shouldn't have gone to my uncle's house to read that family tree, I don't know if it's a blessing sometimes."

Yuan said disdainfully: "If you don't come, even if you don't watch it, I will sue you." ”

"Isn't it you, this is all in the future, you know it so lightly?"

Yuan Chuanyin said: "This is what the historical source asked me to say, and at the same time let me warn you, don't do anything cheating." ”

"Cheating?" Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly, this word is used in this era, and it is really fucking appropriate.

"Yuan, then what do you mean, my Ma Xiao's fate, then my Ma Xiao must be the head of the family?"

Yuan interrupted: "History is history, whoever it is?" It is impossible to change history, Ma Xiaoquan, you are just a passerby of history. Your son Ma Xiao, whether you want it or not, must be your successor. ”

Ma Xiaoquan pouted and said: "The history of bullshit, hum, one day I will collide with this historical origin to see, source, you wait, hum~"

"Fool ~ Soul Fade"

"You're just a faint soul, you little follower of the historical origin"

"What do you say Ma Xiaoquan, you"

Just when Ma Xiaoquan and Yuan were communicating, there was a sudden commotion outside the room.

His thoughts were interrupted, Ma Xiaoquan was quite unhappy, kicked the door open, and shouted: "What is the noise? What's the noise? ”

In the past, when the head of the family lost his temper like this, the wife and children and the subordinates would obediently quiet down, but now, everyone ignored themselves.

"How can that be?" Ma Xiaoquan saw that no one paid attention to him, so he stepped forward to see what was going on.

At this moment, a deep male voice reached Ma Xiaoquan's ears.

"Dad, I'm not filial, I'm late to come back!"

"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Who should I be, it turned out to be my son, haha, let my father see you, come on!" ”

Ma Zheng slowly walked out of the crowd and walked gently in front of Ma Xiaoquan.

Ma Xiaoquan looked his son up and down, and couldn't help but be satisfied: "Not bad, yes, taller than your father, good~"

I haven't seen him for a few years, Ma Zheng's size has jumped a lot compared with before, Ma Xiaoquan compared it with his son slightly, and asked, "Stinky boy, your head is more than eight feet, right?" ”

Ma Zheng scratched his scalp and said, "Eight feet two, hehe." ”

"Eight feet two? Wow, that's good, that's good."

Hua Yuexin stepped forward, grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's arm and said: "The soul is weak, how can there be a son who grabs his son's head as soon as he comes back, how can you be a father?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan sighed, smiled, and asked Ma Zheng: "Have you greeted your other mothers?" ”

Ma Zheng nodded respectfully.

"Did your eldest brother and second brother ask?"

Ma Zheng was just about to answer, Ma Xiao smiled and said: "Dad, I asked earlier, the third brother hasn't seen him for so long, he is taller than us, haha"

Ma Xiaoquan coughed twice, pretending to reprimand Ma Xiao and said, "As the future head of the family, what are you laughing at?" ”

Ma Xiao stuck out his tongue at Ma Xiaoquan, looked at his mother-in-law Diao Chan, and saw Diao Chan's loving face, and couldn't help but say boldly: "Dad, the third brother is back, do we want to celebrate?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan snorted: "This thing is okay, okay, then I will leave this matter to you." ”

Ma Xiao looked confident, waved his fist and said, "Dad, don't worry, it will be done." ”

The dinner was in charge of Ma Xiao, and the whole family was present except for the eldest daughter Ma Lan.

Ma Lan was married half a year ago, and the object of her marriage was Jia Xu's youngest son. A few days ago, Jia Xu personally visited the door and said that Ma Lan was pregnant.

Jia Xu is low-key and unassuming, and he never participates in the struggle between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

At the beginning, Ma Xiaoquan agreed to marry Ma Lan to Jia Xu's youngest son, and he also took a fancy to Jia Xu.

However, according to the custom of the eldest son and eldest daughter marrying relatives, Ma Xiaoquan and Jia Xu should have made a big special move, but after discussing it, the two decided to deal with it in a low-key manner.

In this way, Ma Lan quietly married Jia Xu's youngest son.

Knowing that the eldest daughter was pregnant, Ma Xiaoquan was very happy, and immediately ordered someone to quietly send two large boxes of treasures as a supplement for his daughter's dowry.

After three rounds of drinking, some people who couldn't drink enough had fallen asleep on the table and on the ground.

Ma Xiaoquan stood up, stretched, and exhaled a long breath.

At this dinner, Ma Xiaoquan only drank one glass, the eldest son Ma Xiao didn't even drink wine because he had to preside over the overall work, and there was another person, although he drank a lot, he was still very sober.

Ma Zheng.

"Xiao'er, Zheng'er, you two come here."

The brothers glanced at each other and walked respectfully to Ma Xiaoquan's side.

Ma Xiaoquan said: "You have also grown up, um~~ Dad has something to explain to the two of you." ”

The brothers nodded and followed Ma Xiaoquan into the bedroom.

As soon as the door was closed, Ma Xiaoquan asked Ma Zheng to inform his brother about Mao Gang's matter.

Although Ma Xiao is not very old, he is very steady, and after listening to his brother's description, Ma Xiao said: "In this way, I am afraid that this Mao Gang will have to be strictly guarded." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Xiao'er, you are the eldest brother, the future helmsman of the Ma family, from now on, my father hopes that you will study hard, and after your father leaves, this family will be taken care of by you." ”

When Ma Xiao heard this, he was surprised: "Dad, are you leaving?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Dad is not from this era, one day, Dad will leave." ”

"Why? Can Dad not leave? ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Xiao'er, don't you see it?" From when you were younger, to when you are now so old, has there been any signs of aging in your father's appearance? ”

Ma Xiao thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Dad is an immortal, of course he won't get old." ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "Okay, even if Dad is an immortal, Dad can't stay here all the time, otherwise you will never grow up." ”

Ma Xiao glanced at Ma Zheng, the brothers nodded knowingly, and said in unison: "Follow my father's teachings." ”

Ma Xiaoquan was very satisfied with the understanding of his two sons, and said: "The reason why Dad only calls you the two of you, one is Xiao'er, you are the eldest son, as the next head of the Ma family, from now on, Dad will gradually hand over the rights in the family to you, and second, Dad also has stricter requirements for you, can you do it?" ”

Ma Xiao straightened his chest and said respectfully: "Yes!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan sighed, and there was a bitterness in his heart, this is his own son, no matter how you say it, you should also be hey, you can forgive your father, against history, your father doesn't have this ability now

"Zheng'er!" Ma Xiaoquan looked at Ma Zheng and said, "Dad's requirement for you is to live a good life, your previous wandering experience is the talk of you when you are old, and it is your precious life wealth."

"Dad, I see."

Ma Xiaoquan patted Ma Zheng on the shoulder and said, "What Dad is going to say next, you brothers will also tell Kun'er and Qiang'er later, this is very important, you remember"
