Chapter 1158 Miss Ma

Perhaps as Tian Yeyou said, the only one who would be troubled by this kind of thing is probably Chen Yixin himself. Seventy-eight out of ten members of the time-traveling group came to this time and space single, except for a very few who can successfully match internally.

The vast majority of people who want to start a family still have to consider the residents of this time and space as their marriage partners. The main area of ​​activity of Haihan is the Han area dominated by the Ming Dynasty. It is logical that the Ming people with the same roots and sect have become accepted by the time travellers.

The most attractive partner. Among the current spouses of time travellers, Han Chinese from the Ming Dynasty account for the vast majority.

Among these marriages, except for a very small number of people who formed couples in the form of "free love", a considerable number of them were mixed with various interest entanglements. They sought asylum in Haihan through marriage, or

In order to consolidate the economic and political cooperative relationship with Haihan, there are more or less other purposes. For example, Tian Yeyou’s father-in-law’s family took the initiative to propose marriage to Tian Yeyou in order to maintain a stable coal trade cooperation with Heitu Port.

, and this cross-border marriage also contributed to his father-in-law's family becoming the largest coal merchant, sugarcane farmer and shipping company owner in Lianzhou Prefecture. The entire family relied on Haihan and quickly became a powerful person.

There are countless similar examples. In the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, especially on Hainan Island, it is actually very common for wealthy businessmen and gentry to compete with Haihan for marriage. Many local officials even secretly mentioned their families in order to keep their official positions.

The little girl in the movie was sold to Haihan's big bosses as wives and concubines to build relationships between the two parties.

Chen Yixin had never encountered such a scene before, just because the place where he stayed was almost always on the edge of the Haihan controlled area. As soon as he started to get familiar with the local high-level society, he was dispatched to the next place to perform tasks.

There was no time and space to develop this kind of relationship. This situation in Dengzhou, Shandong Province is also a special case. The local public security situation has been in an extremely chaotic state in the past few years. Even if you have money,

It is very difficult for powerful locals to protect themselves, and the appearance of Haihan immediately makes people's eyes shine. He is not only rich but also has an army, and he also pays attention to rules in doing things. For the rich people in the local area, it is simply

An excellent protective umbrella.

As for whether this kind of cross-border marriage was suspected of treason, the high-ranking official of Ma Dongqiang did not care. He had already consulted someone in the Yamen specifically about the content of the "Da Ming Law" on intermarriage with foreigners.

Therefore, only Mongolians and Semu people are limited. "Da Ming Law·Hu Lv 3" records, "All Mongols and Semu people are allowed to marry Chinese people. It must be consensual. This kind of people are not allowed to marry each other. It is against the law."

If the rod is eighty, men and women will become officials and become slaves. The Chinese people do not want to marry those who are Huihui and Qinchao. They should obey their own kind and marry each other. There is no restriction."

In the regulations on foreign-related marriages in the Ming Dynasty Law, there is no mention of Haihan people, so the intermarriage between Ming people and Haihan people is not considered a taboo matter, at least it is legal until the imperial court prohibits it. Although Haihan people and Deng people

There seems to be something wrong with the garrison in the state capital, but in the eyes of Ma Daguan, the Haihan people are much more reliable than the unruly Qiu Ba in Dengzhou City. At least Haihan has never had any trouble after arriving in Fushan County.

The local government's move to allocate large sums of money to collect grains is not much more kind than the Ming army from other places who scratched the ground. If I can find a Haihan uncle for my daughter, who will the big landowner of Fushan County choose from me in the future?

But after Ma Dongqiang sent his brother-in-law Jiang Sheng away early in the morning, he always felt uneasy, as if he had missed something. Thinking about it, the gifts he prepared were not too small, and he had told Jiang Sheng almost everything he needed to say.

, but I still feel a little concerned about gains and losses.

Regarding the marriage, Ma Dongqiang had put a lot of effort into it. At first, he just went to the river bank with the intention of watching the excitement and wanted to see the origins of the foreign merchants who defeated Wanjiajun, but it turned out that

After meeting the young and heroic Chen Yixin, Ma Dongqiang had the idea of ​​getting acquainted, and tried to find a way to find a Haihan soldier. He said that this young officer had a high status in the Haihan army and was a general who led troops in war.

Still single and not yet married.

Having become a general in the army at such a young age, Ma Dongqiang deduced based on common sense that Chen Yixin was probably from a powerful family in the Haihan Kingdom. If he could get into this family, who else would dare to bully the Ma family in Dengzhou in the future?

As long as you marry off a daughter, you can get a big backer that even the government can't move. This deal is absolutely cost-effective in Ma Dongqiang's opinion. When the time comes, the matter of annexing the unowned land in the county with the Fushan County Government should also be resolved

You will be much more confident.

Of course, when Ma Dongqiang made this decision, he never thought about communicating with his daughter. In his opinion, this arrangement was very good for his daughter. He was more worried about whether Haihan would be willing to accept this arrangement.

It is not about whether your daughter is willing to accept such a unilateral arrangement.

Ma Dongqiang's worries later became a reality. Although Chen Yixin was very polite and even came to Majiazhuang for a banquet some time ago, he never let go of the marriage, and he never even mentioned that he wanted to meet him.

Although Ma Dongqiang was a little discouraged, he was unwilling to give up. The more the other party declined, the more Ma Dongqiang felt that he had to try his best to get it done. After thinking about it, he felt that the reason should be because the other party lacked trust in him.

However, his family property and clan cannot move out of Fushan County, so it is impossible for him to seek refuge with Haihan like those refugees. The only solution is to increase his stakes to show his sincerity.

This time Ma Dongqiang made a determined effort and took out most of the grain reserves in Zhuangzi and gave them to Haihan in the name of consolation gifts. Fearing that the portion was not enough, he also added livestock and cash. Many people in the clan were opposed to Ma Dongqiang's behavior.

It was a risky approach. Even his brother-in-law Jiang Sheng, who originally agreed with this matter, was a little worried that this measure would eventually lead to no return. But Ma Dongqiang insisted on doing it in the end. He felt that if this didn't work, then

Only then can you be willing to give up the matter of proposing marriage. Give these things away as a favor, and maybe you can receive some rewards from the Haihan people in the future.

It wasn't until Ma Dongqiang sat down at the dinner table at noon that he finally found out the real reason why he had been restless all morning: "Why is Yuling not here? Didn't you ask her to eat?"

The "Yuling" in Ma Dongqiang's mouth was his youngest daughter Ma Yuling, whom he planned to marry Haihan. At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had not seen her since he got up today.

Ma Dongqiang's three sons all moved out on their own after getting married. In this family, Ma Dongqiang and his wife and two concubines were the only ones. Ma Yuling was born to Dongmei, the second concubine, and was also the youngest child in the family. There is one person missing at this table.

Eating can be seen at a glance.

Ma Dongqiang saw that his concubine Dongmei looked a little strange and did not respond to him immediately, so he immediately asked: "What's wrong with Yuling?"

Dongmei responded hurriedly: "No... nothing... I just feel uncomfortable and don't want to go out to eat."

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ma Dongqiang noticed something was wrong, and immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Let me go and see her!"

Dongmei's face turned pale, and she quickly stood up and knelt down: "Master, please spare Yuling!"

Ma Dongqiang snorted, ignored the concubine, and went straight out of the flower hall where he was eating. There were four courtyards in the Ma family. Ma Dongqiang and his wife and two concubines lived in the third courtyard, while his daughter Ma Yuling lived in the second courtyard.

Li. Ma Dongqiang arrived at the wing where Ma Yuling lived, opened the door and saw that there was no one in the room.

Ma Dongqiang felt bad, so he walked quickly to the closet and opened the door. He saw that most of the clothes he wore every day were taken away, and the new cotton-padded jacket he made for her last month was gone.

.

"This stinky girl actually ran away from home!" Ma Dongqiang was so angry that he spent a lot of money on marrying Haihan, but he didn't expect that the person who tricked him in the end was not the ambiguous Haihan people, but himself.

's daughter-in-law.

Ma Dongqiang turned around and saw that Dongmei had also followed, kneeling at the door dejectedly. He immediately scolded: "How did you, a mother, teach her? Do you know how big this trouble is? You have to cry later, hurry up.

Tell me where she went!"

Dongmei cried and responded: "My child doesn't want to marry a barbarian from the south, so why should I force her?"

"You old bitch, you talk so freely, and if people listen to it, hundreds of people in Majiazhuang will be ruined!" Ma Dongqiang heard his concubine calling Haihan people "southern barbarians," and he immediately covered his head.

The impulse of her mouth.

Ma Dongqiang knew that although the Haihan people behaved well and rescued many people in Fushan County, it did not mean that they were good men and women. There were dozens of human heads hanging on the big trees by the river where people were hugging each other.

They were all bandits from the Wanjia Army who had fought with Haihan. I heard that the Haihan people sent troops into the mountains a few days ago and wiped out the remnants of the Wanjia Army. Pu Xueguang and Gan Qiang, who had escaped from the battlefield before, had also been arrested.

With this kind of lesson learned from the past, Ma Dongqiang did not want to take any risk of offending Haihan, especially concubine Dongmei, who was so talkative. If outsiders heard about it and complained to the Haihan people, let alone a marriage.

Whether Majiazhuang can survive or not is a question.

Ma Yuling didn't want to marry a Haihan native. Ma Dongqiang actually knew it to some extent, but he didn't care about his daughter's attitude. In his opinion, the son-in-law he was looking for this time was already the best among men, impeccable. If his daughter could marry

In the past, that was considered a great blessing. But he really didn't expect that his daughter would have such a strong side, and she would actually use such a decisive trick when the situation came to pass.

"Master, Master Jiang is back!" At this moment, a servant came to Ma Dongqiang to report the news of Jiang Sheng's return.

As soon as Jiang Sheng entered the courtyard, he saw Ma Dongqiang standing with a livid face, and his sister Jiang Dongmei kneeling next to him. He asked curiously: "If you don't want to eat at this time, what are you doing here?"

"Ask her what good things she has done!" Ma Dong responded vigorously.

Jiang Sheng didn't know what he meant, but he still smoothed things over: "I rushed back from the mine and didn't even have time to eat. If you want to quarrel, can you wait until I eat first?"

Although Ma Dongqiang was angry, he still had business matters in mind. Hearing this, he quickly asked: "How did things go?"

"It's no problem if I take action!" Jiang Sheng replied proudly: "All the things sent have been accepted. Chief Chen couldn't stand my painstaking persuasion, and finally relaxed. He said three things

He will come to Majiazhuang to meet Yuling in the future. Let’s wait until he meets Yuling first to talk about the rest!"

"Oh! What a disaster! What a disaster!" After hearing the news, Ma Dongqiang, instead of feeling any joy at all, actually cried out: "It's a disaster."

Jiang Sheng said in confusion: "Where is the talk of disaster? Haven't you always wanted Chief Chen to come to Majiazhuang again?"

"It was originally a good thing, but now...Yu Ling ran away silently!" Ma Dongqiang sighed: "When the time comes, Chief Chen will come and see no one. Don't you think we are deliberately playing tricks on him?"

"Run away?" Jiang Sheng was shocked when he heard this. He quickly turned to his sister and asked: "Dongmei, is this really true?"

Jiang Dongmei nodded with a sad face and said: "Yu Ling... didn't want to marry... a Haihan person, so she packed up her clothes last night and slipped out early today."

Jiang Sheng quickly asked: "Where has she gone? Tell us quickly, there are still three days, as long as we can find her back, everything will turn around! If it is too late, Majiazhuang will be in danger!"

Jiang Dongmei was coaxed and frightened by these two people, and finally revealed the truth: "She went to Dengzhou alone."

"Dengzhou...she went to join her elder brother!" Upon hearing this, Ma Dongqiang immediately judged his daughter's purpose. A teenage girl like this must have a place to stay when she runs away from home, and Ma Dongqiang's

The eldest son currently lives in Dengzhou City. Ma Yuling wants to go to Dengzhou, and there is only one person she can seek refuge with.

Jiang Sheng said: "Then I will write a letter and send it to Dengzhou."

Ma Dongqiang waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid something will go wrong when writing a letter, and her elder brother may not be able to handle her. Since she just left this morning, she has no sedan, no horses, and luggage, so she can't walk far on two legs, so I'll go there myself

Take a trip and catch her back as soon as possible."

It is more than a hundred miles from Majiazhuang to Dengzhou City. If you walk quickly, it will take two days. Ma Yuling has only walked for half a day, and she should be able to catch up now by riding a horse.

Ma Dongqiang acted at his will, called two followers, brought some dry food, drinking water, silver and protective weapons, and set off on horseback. Before leaving, Ma Dongqiang temporarily entrusted the family affairs to Jiang Sheng and asked him not to leave the horse alone.

The news that Yuling ran away from home was leaked to avoid causing trouble to the people of Haihan.

However, Miss Ma herself was not as strong-willed as her father and uncle thought. It was true that she ran away from home, but the eldest lady regretted it after she walked out. She left the village before dawn in order to hide her whereabouts, and she did not dare to leave the house.

The horse was carrying a large bag of luggage, and he had to carry a load in each hand. He stopped three or four times after walking not far. After walking for a whole morning, he reached a distance of seven or eight miles from Majiazhuang.
