"Young Master, please listen to me. I still have my own difficulties in this matter. Although we made a promise at the beginning, our agreement was actually made by me and 'Hou Fangyu'. Later, the master of the family came here, what can I do? I can only try my best to make up for my guilt towards Mr. Hou..."

"Hehe, Zhenniang, you don't need to say that it sounds so nice. In fact, if you don't say it, I know that you dislike my family. You think that your father was dismissed from his post because of corruption and had a bad reputation, so he urged Xiangjun to marry a famous and status-based family like Hou Fangyu. I'm right?"

"How do you know?" Li Zhenli couldn't help but look red when she saw Ma Mingfeng pointing out her thoughts in public. She thought for a while and said, "You are right. I do think so. Although I wanted to treat Xiangjun as a money tree before, I treated her sincerely. Later, when someone really liked her, I treated her as her biological daughter. Young Master, think about it, which mother does not want her daughter to marry into a better family? Although Hou Shangshu was dismissed, anyone with discerning eyes knew that she was wronged. Restoration is a matter of time. Even if Ling Zun was restored, it was much worse than Hou Shangshu. Moreover, in terms of reputation, Hou Shangshu was upright, but Ling Zun was dismissed for the crime of corruption. The difference between the two is too big. As Xiangjun's foster mother, how could I watch her jump into the fire pit without caring?"

"Fire pit? Our family is a fire pit?" Ma Mingfeng couldn't help laughing after hearing this and said to Li Zhenli: "First of all, please stop calling me like this. This makes me feel uncomfortable. Yang Longyou is my uncle, and you are Xiangjun's foster mother. No matter how you count it, you can be considered my elder. Next, let's talk about our family. Let's not hide it from Zhenniang. Our family has been a family of officials for generations. Since the first generation of the Ma family, Chenggong, joined the army to Guizhou, and passed on ten generations, the ancestors of the first six generations were all military positions, inheriting Guizhou commanders for generations. It was only when it was the great-grandfather of the ancestors that he had made great contributions to his family. From his grandfather to his father to his late birth, there were three generations in total, and four generations were held in one family.

People, two Jinshi, are not worse than the Hou family? My father is misunderstood by the world, so he has a bad reputation. But you can go to the place where his father is in office to investigate and see if his father is a truly corrupt person? His father is sincere to others and does not prejudice by family members. Do you think that Zhenniang is not honest? On the contrary, the hypocrite who appears to be invincible to the public, but in fact he is a stolen man who is a thief and prostitute is something you respect? If this is true, there is no need for Xiangjun. Zhenniang, you can marry those families by yourself. Anyway, you are not old and have a peerless appearance. At most, it seems that Xiangjun's sister is the most, and she will definitely be favored after entering the school."

"Nonsense, I've even arranged Zhenniang? You said I was your elder before." Li Zhenli was so embarrassed that her face turned red by Ma Mingfeng's words. She accused him loudly, and then sighed softly: "What you said is not the same? It seems that I was wrong, but it has become so secular. I'll apologize to you here. If Lingzun Lingtang really promises to marry Xiangjun, your family is not just a fire pit? It's simply a family like a god."

Ma Mingfeng nodded and said, "I also know that Zhenniang is considering Xiangjun's lifelong happiness, so I won't blame you. Besides, you have always kept your promise after making an agreement with me and did not let Xiangjun do anything wronged her. Even if Hou Fangyu offered the conditions that made you moved, you did not force her, but just tempted her. I know that you are sincerely good for her. There are not many people in this world who are truly good to Xiangjun. Are there any conflicts of fundamental interests between us? How can we turn against each other and make Xiangjun sad?"

"I didn't expect you to think so carefully. It's enough to seem that you are sincere to Xiangjun. Haha, look at me, what's the use of sticking here? You two have been separated for a long time, so there must be a lot to say. I won't bother you. Mr. Ma, don't leave. I'll wait a while and order a few dishes under the kitchen, and then take out the top scholar red I have collected for many years. You two will talk about your separation."

After saying that, Li Zhenli stood up, turned around and left, and closed the door as she left, and ordered the maids and servants that no one would go in and disturb the distinguished guests.

Ma Mingfeng was very satisfied with this maritime affairs. After all, Li Zhenli treated Li Xiangjun sincerely, and now it is obvious that she has truly accepted him, which means that there is almost no obstacle to the matter between him and Li Xiangjun.

The reason why he said "almost" is that he has not received personal approval from his father Ma Shiying. However, Ma Mingfeng also knew that this was actually just a formal matter. His father would not disagree, because Ma Shiying is a humane man.

In fact, sometimes Ma Mingfeng is very glad that he traveled through time and became Ma Luan instead of Hou Fangyu. Although Hou Xun had a high reputation and high status, and was known for his strict education of his children, he became the object of envy, but he did not think so. A person who sat upright at home would lose many people's fun as human beings at home. How boring would life be in such a family?

After Li Zhenli left, Ma Mingfeng and Li Xiangjun were left in the room, and a brief silence appeared in the room.

But in less than half a minute, the two of them spoke almost at the same time.

"Xiangjun"

"Ma Lang"

......

Neither of them expected that they would talk at the same time, so they couldn't help but look at each other and smiled knowingly.

Then they saw two people talking at the same time.

"How are you doing lately?"

"You've lost weight recently..."

The two of them laughed again, but saw Li Xiangjun saying directly: "This time I will ask you first, Mr. Lang, a lot of things must have happened on the journey from Nanjing to Guiyang for thousands of miles. You might as well tell me everything that happened in the process."

Ma Mingfeng nodded and took him to the caravan. On the way, he met Liu Kongzhao and Anqinggang meddled with other people's business, which led to a mutiny, as well as the things he encountered in Miaojiang, as well as his own imperial examination, winemaking, and apprenticeship.

Ma Mingfeng is good at telling stories, and these are all things that happened to him, so he was particularly impressed. Ma Mingfeng combined his experience and feelings to say all of them, which is naturally tortuous and vivid.

However, Ma Mingfeng did not tell Li Xiangjun about meeting Cao Lingyue. This was not because he deliberately concealed it. On the contrary, in his opinion, this was not a big deal, because Ma Mingfeng had no intention of marrying Cao Lingyue from the beginning, and even if Li Xiangjun refused him, he had no such plan. What's more, he was full of confidence in Li Xiangjun and was sure that Xiangjun's temperament would never go back on his mind.

When Li Xiangjun heard Ma Mingfeng talk about these things, her mood continued to fluctuate with these things. When Ma Mingfeng was going well, she was very happy, but when Ma Mingfeng was in danger, she was also very nervous. Although she knew that Ma Mingfeng was talking to her about the past in front of her, she still had deep worries on her face, and even tears came out later.

"I really didn't expect that in the past few months, Langjun had experienced so much. Not only did he do business and made a lot of money, but he also successfully passed the imperial examination and became a disciple of Mr. Shizhai. These are his great gains. Being able to be attracted by Mr. Shizhai is enough to show his talent and character. As for his political views, I don't understand these things. But I think Langjun's words make sense. As long as he can subdue the Qing people and the thieves and stabilize the world, why can't the firearm be used? In fact, this journey says a lot about this.

It was like an adventure, and it seemed to me that this was what the husband deserved, and it was the result of his hard work. Outsiders only saw how glorious he was when he passed the Juren, but who knew how crazy he was to endorse the Juren in order to pass the Juren? Outsiders only saw that his trip to Guiyang suddenly became mature and steady, but who knew how many times he had had in the past life and death was in an instant? I would rather he remained like he did than take such a big risk..."

"Silly girl, why are you crying? Am I back now?" Ma Mingfeng knew what she was thinking when he saw Xiang Jun crying. He gently wiped her tears and said gently.
