68, home door

Although it was still snowing, the enthusiasm in Ma Chao's chest was as warm as spring. He rode his horse with the woman around him and walked out of Luocheng Gate without realizing it.

The woman around her may not be good at riding horses. She can only walk slowly while sitting on the back of a tame mount, but Ma Chao, who has always been riding a horse like the wind, is willing to accompany her to walk slowly by the roadside.

While walking, he was silently looking at the woman.

From the round forehead, the delicate nose bridge to the small jaw, the three formed a graceful arc, and Ma Chao's eyes extended down the arc, looking at the delicate and fair neck and shoulders, including the distinctive and beautiful contours on his chest.

Maybe Ma Chao was shy and the girl with a blushing face lowered her head and muttered:

"Every time I'm like this, I come to the banquet but don't visit friends. I bring them out and don't speak."

Ma Chao heard the girl's soft complaint, smiled and said:

"The Yanhui people are very noisy. I don't like it. Isn't it good to be quiet together like this?"

The girl shook her head and pouted slightly.

"It's not bad, it's just that it's not popular."

"It's enough to have I like you."

Ma Chao looked at the girl's exquisite and beautiful face and said confidently.

Since he returned to Chang'an, when he first saw this lady of the He family traveling on the Wei Bridge, he had a look at the beautiful woman and boldly looked at him. There was something invisible in his heart out of thin air, just like he was possessed by a demon, and began to inquire around and pursue the traces of the girl.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to break into the banquet for the children of the old surname in Guanzhong just to see the lady from the He family again.

Finally, he knew her name - He E.

Facing the unique and heroic Ma Chao, He E was frantically roaming her heart and blushing with a blushing face, she said her name by chance. Somehow, she agreed to the private invitation of the Ma gentleman.

So, Ma Chao invited him to the banquet every time after that.

He heard such eager love words, He E blushed and hid her head shyly, as if she was afraid of being embarrassed by the sparse passers-by seeing her.

Seeing her so adorable appearance, Ma Chao couldn't help but stepping closer to her, trying to reach out and take her into his arms.

When feeling the signs of people around you getting closer, the hot breath seemed to come to your face. This feeling made the girl feel rippling, as if she was in a warm spring day at this time, warm, intoxicating and unable to extricate herself.

"Madam, it's too far from the city gate and can't leave anymore. You have to go back quickly."

An inappropriate voice sounded behind the horse, and a ox cart hurriedly chased after it. When the elderly maid holding the cart saw the two of them approaching very close, she was anxious and urged the driver to drive forward quickly and shouted loudly.

When the girl was shouted by this voice, she seemed to be awakened. She avoided Ma Chao's arm like a frightened rabbit, and turned around in panic and said:

"It's been out for too long, I'm going back."

As he spoke, the girl had already lowered her head and rode back. Ma Chao had no time to speak, so he could only follow him back.

The two arrived at the ox cart. Ma Chao jumped off the horse in advance, reached out to support the girl, letting her hold her thick shoulders and get off the saddle smoothly.

"Thank you, it's good, and you're so good!"

After gently saying this shameful words in Ma Chao's ear, the girl was like a child who had done something wrong, quickly rushing towards her ox cart until she got on the ox cart with the help of her maid, and she didn't dare to look back at Ma Chao again.

The older maid saw this scene and secretly called it bad. She thought that the two were from very different backgrounds. As long as they got along for a while, their wife would immediately notice the vulgarity of this Xiliang martial artist, and would not force herself to obstruct and leave a bad person who was not pleased.

But unexpectedly, after a while, his wife not only did not see the huge gap clearly, but instead fell into it in a daze.

This is really a tricky thing!

The older maid winked at the driver of the car. The driver immediately understood. Regardless of whether he was still looking at Ma Chao who was still in full consciousness, a whip flower appeared in his hand, and immediately drove the old cow to slowly turn around and walk towards the city gate.

When Ma Chao saw the driver driving to get rid of him, he gradually realized the hypocritical thoughts of these servants these times. He snorted coldly and without saying a word, he turned over and took another mount and wanted to ride the horse away.

But after getting on the horse, Ma Chao touched an object in his arms. He quickly turned around and looked in the direction where the ox cart left. After thinking about it, he immediately rode his horse and ran towards the direction where the ox cart entered the city.

"Miss He, wait a moment!"

"Stop, stop!"

Ma Chao ran towards the ox cart and shouted loudly, but the driver frowned slightly and rushed to the ox cart on his own, wanting to continue rushing into the city. Until He E, who was sitting in the cart, heard Ma Chao's shouting, and urged him repeatedly, he stopped the car reluctantly.

He E opened the car window, poked out her head, and looked at Ma Chao who was rushing toward him.

"What's wrong?"

"This is for you!"

Ma Chao, who was strangling his mount by the car, reached out and took out an object from his arms. When he handed it to He E's hand, he suddenly held He E's slender hand with his backhand, and looked at He E affectionately without saying a word.

It was not until the elderly maid in the carriage that Ma Chao let go of his hand reluctantly, nodded to He E, watched the ox cart start again, ran over the snowflakes on the road, and continued to drive into the car.

In the stable carriage, He E carefully stroked the object given by Ma Chao in her hand. This was a musical instrument with a slender body and two tubes and five holes. The shape was very different from the seven-hole Han flute. But He E knew that this was what Ma Chao mentioned before.

Like the tall poplar trees, the boundless vast sea, the changing lakes, and the sea of ​​flowers deep in the grassland, they are all spoken from Ma Chao, and things she has never seen since she was a child.

The elderly maid looked at He E with a blush and the instruments tightly held in her hands, suddenly sighed and said in a sarcastic voice:

"Madam, you made a big mistake this time. It would be fine if you failed to let the gentleman of the Ma family retreat. He even rode his horse out of the city. How could this work? The matter was so big, the lady must have known it."

He E also knew that she had made a mistake, and she was afraid that she would implicate the maid who followed her and served her. At this moment, she could only lower her head and whisper:

"Sister Xi, I can't help but want to see him. I also know that I've been getting more sensible this time, but somehow, I agreed to him in a vague way."

The elderly maid named Xi Jie by He E sighed when he heard He E say this, but didn't say anything again.

He E was also silent for a while, and suddenly said:

"Sister Xi, did you ride a horse with a man when you were young? You don't know, the feeling just now was-"

"Madam!!!" Seeing that He E had not realized the seriousness of the matter, the elderly maid could only interrupt He E's words. She turned her head to one side and said coldly:

"My wife will think about it. How can I deal with the wife's inquiries when I go back this time!"

The ox cart was rumbling and slowly drove towards the city gate. This time, no sound was made in the carriage.

When he returned home, the situation was far more serious than He E had expected. Not only did her mother hurried over with two Fu Mu, but her father also moved into the back hall with a serious look after seeing off the guests at home.

"Tell me, who have you met these days?"

When Father He saw the mother and daughter whispering in the hall, he was displeased. After waving his hand to let the others exit the hall, he strode over and asked with a calm face.

"My mother." Seeing her serious father, He E winces to her mother, wanting to find shelter from her daughter's house.

"Tell me, tell me, your father is also worried about you."

"Yes." After hearing his mother's words, He E nodded, looked at her father again, and whispered:

"A gentleman from the Ma family."

"Which Ma family?" He's father frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with his daughter's hidden answer.

"He is the eldest son of General Ma, the former general of the Western Expedition, and his name is Chao and his courtesy name is Mengqi."

He E quickly added, but He's father's brows became tighter and tighter. He thought for a while and said:

"What you said is the Ma family that migrated from Liangzhou, right?"

When He's mother saw that He's father looked unhesitant, she hesitated for a moment and said:

"Although I moved from Xiliang, I heard from E'er that he is also a branch of the Ma family of Maoling. In terms of calculation, his background is not low. It would be better to meet him. If he is really a young hero, it would be-"

"Nothing!" He's father severely interrupted He's mother, and he said with a gloomy face:

"What do you women and women know? The Ma family is just a group of vulgar martial men from Xiliang. They were defeated by the General of the Cavalry, so they had to surrender to the royal army. The Ma family head Ma Shoucheng, I heard that he was once the leader of the rebels in Liangzhou. How could such a family be worthy of the He family in Pingling?"

Speaking of this, Father He glared at the two of them and added:

"Besides, they are all surrendered generals, and they are most afraid of forming cliques for personal gain. They collude in private, and they need to be cautious when doing everything. He is a name in Guanzhong. How dare they seek high standards? How can we make trouble for ourselves and provoke suspicion for ourselves?"

"You must not see you again. You will not be allowed to leave the house privately in the future. You must not go to those high-ranking banquets these days. You will avoid these suspicions first."
