Chapter 49 Gu Congxin

Because the distance was relatively close, Ma Mingfeng and others were all lightly equipped with a fast horse each. They arrived at Gu Congxin's home in Zunyi in just five days.

In fact, Gu's hometown was originally in Kaili, and it was still hundreds of miles away from Zunyi. As the commander of Guiyang, Gu Congxin originally stationed troops in Guiyang. However, due to the huge impact of the rebellion of She Chongming, the Xuanfu envoy of Yongning, Sichuan, twenty years ago, the Ming Dynasty sent an army to garrison at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou for years. The troops stationed here were replaced by several Guizhou prefectures. However, when it was his turn to change defense, Gu Congxin was excluded by other colleagues because of drinking and drinking. As a result, he made a fuss to the governor of Guizhou. Although there was no evidence later, Gu Congxin was lured to drink and mischief. However, the governor of Guizhou was angry that Gu Congxin could not distinguish between good people and bad people, so he arranged for him to station in Zunyi, so the army of other prefectures did not have to change defense again.

So Gu Congxin's capital was arranged to Zunyi, which became the official garrison of Guiyang Commander. Then Gu Congxin took over his wife and children, built a prefecture here, annexed the land, and truly became a local bully.

Ma Mingfeng learned about Gu Congxin from Chunwang, because Chunwang is a local from Zunyi and knows a lot of things very clearly.

The one who opened the door was Gu Kang, the old servant of the Gu family. The old man is now 60 years old, but he has a good memory. He recognized Ma Mingfeng at a glance, and was still very excited. He personally took everyone to see his wife Ma Shoumei.

Ma Shoumei didn't expect that her cousin could come from afar to see her. After hearing the news, she felt shocked. She was washing her hair at that time, and at this time she didn't care about washing her hair, so she grabbed her hair and ran out.

"Luan'er, why are you here?" Ma Shoumei came to the yard without any image. When she saw Ma Mingfeng, she asked with joy on her face.

"I'm for the well of your house." Ma Mingfeng said silently in his heart, but on the surface he said affectionately: "I haven't seen each other for so many years. My nephew missed my third aunt and my third uncle. My nephew went home to take the provincial examination this year by his father's order. However, as soon as he set foot on his hometown, he couldn't help but miss his relatives, especially my third aunt and my third uncle. I almost couldn't do well in the provincial examination. After the provincial examination, my nephew hurried to see my third aunt. By the way, where is the third uncle?"

Ma Shoumei was so happy when she heard this, and quickly said with emotion: "My Luan'er has grown up and speaks so pleasantly. Your third uncle has gone on duty. I guess he will be back in a while. Don't be stunned, hurry up and go into the house."

Then Ma Shoumei let Ma Mingfeng into the house and asked the maid to serve tea. She cleaned herself up and started chatting about family matters, from family matters to Ma Mingfeng taking the provincial examination, and Ma Shiying's grievances. Anyway, they were all unnutritional. However, because the aunt and nephew only care about the process of talking, there was no barrier when speaking. The aunt and nephew were sometimes angry and sometimes laughed, and it was extremely intimate at first glance.

These two people are not pretending often. Ma's family has always been the most ethical education. Moreover, Ma Luan grew up with several aunts since she was a child, and her family affection was solid. In addition, Ma Shiying is the only one in the entire family who passed the Jinshi, and she can be said to be a glorious family. Even the sisters are shining on their faces. Although they have encountered some twists and turns in front of them, this is nothing. It is certain that they will definitely make a comeback in the future.

After the aunt and nephew talked, they heard footsteps coming from outside. A rough voice came in: "There are a few more horses in the horse shed. Where are the guests from here?"

Ma Mingfeng then stood up, walked to the door and said respectfully to the visitor: "Hello, third uncle."

The person who came was Gu Congxin. Although his voice was rough, he was not rude. He looked gentle, had white face and thin figure. If you just look at his appearance, it would be believed by anyone to be a scholar.

Gu Cong Xinzai looked at Ma Mingfeng carefully, and after a while, hesitantly said: "You, are you Luan'er?"

"It's my nephew. After many years, my third uncle has been around for a long time. You are still so young and handsome."

"Young? Handsome? Haha, I like this word." Gu Congxin walked into the room with joy from the bottom of his heart, sat down, and then said: "Why do you have time to come here? Aren't you following your father in Nanjing? Is your father back?"

Ma Mingfeng smiled faintly and said, "Not yet, but it's too soon, but my nephew's return has nothing to do with my father, and I can't say it doesn't matter. The main reason is that I came back to take the provincial examination under my father's order. After the exam, I feel that I miss my relatives very much, especially my third aunt and third aunt. Although you are far away, our family affection has not weakened slightly because of the distance, so my nephew decided to come and see you first."

"Oh? Have you taken the provincial examination? What do you think of this subject? I don't brag about it. I think your Ma family has been favored by the Emperor Wenchang in recent years. There are one juren and one juren and the like. In this subject, the Ma family will definitely produce another juren!"

"Haha, I will accept the good words of my third uncle." Ma Mingfeng was naturally willing to listen to good words, and immediately became polite to Gu Congxin.

Then a few people said something unnutritious and it was time for dinner.

After lunch, Gu Congxin had to go on duty, so he asked Ma Mingfeng to go around and gave him a token, telling him that as long as he had the token in hand, no one in Zunyi would dare not give face.

Ma Mingfeng took over the sign happily. This was exactly what he wanted. I believe that with this token, his plan to dominate Sifangjing will be more smooth.

After Gu Congxin left, Ma Mingfeng used the excuse to search for the so-called Sifang Well in the yard. After searching for a while, he couldn't find it. Finally, he learned from the servant who was serving that Sifang Well was not here, but in a manor twenty miles away.

Seeing this, Ma Mingfeng immediately set out to search for the manor, and found it for him. He saw the gulp of water gushing outwards. He scooped a sip of water and drank it. He felt that the sequel was sweet and clear, refreshing, and it was indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, this gulp of spring water is not used to wash clothes as the legendary one. In fact, it is also intended to be used to make wine. However, I don’t know why the wine brewed is sour and astringent, and it ends up leaving nothing. It is just used to water vegetables.

"It seems that my third aunt and my third uncle don't know the value of spring water, but they have not found experienced winemaking craftsmen. When I go to the public for a search, as long as I can find experienced winemaking craftsmen, I believe that I can definitely make good wine."
