Chapter 1158 Miss Ma
Perhaps, as Tian Yeyou said, Chen Yixin is the only one who feels distressed about this kind of thing.Seventy-eight out of ten members of the time-traveling group came to this time and space alone. Except for a very small number of people who can successfully match internally, the vast majority of people who want to start a family still have to use the residents of this time and space as their marriage partners.The main activity area of Haihan is the Han area dominated by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming people of the same root and family have naturally become the most acceptable objects for the traversers.Among the existing spouses of the traversers, the Han people of Ming Dynasty accounted for the vast majority.
Among these marriages, except for a very small number of people who form a couple in the form of "free love", a considerable number of them are mixed with various interest entanglements.To seek Haihan's asylum through marriage, or to consolidate economic and political cooperation with Haihan, there are more or less other purposes.Just like Tian Yeyou's father-in-law, they proposed 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 becoming the largest coal merchant in Lianzhou Prefecture. A sugarcane grower and owner of a boat company, the whole family quickly became a powerful person by relying on Haihan.
There are too many similar examples. In Guangdong and Guangxi, especially on Hainan Island, it is very common for rich businessmen and gentry to marry Haihan. Many local officials even tried to keep their official positions. The little girl in the movie is sold to Haihan's bosses as wives and concubines to win the relationship between the two parties.
Chen Yixin had never encountered such a scene before, it was only because the place where he stayed was almost always on the edge of the Haihan control area, and he had just started to get acquainted with the local high-level society, and he was sent to the next place to perform tasks There is simply no time and space to develop this relationship.The situation in Dengzhou, Shandong this time can be regarded as a special case. The local public security situation has been in a state of extreme chaos for the past few years. The appearance of Han immediately caught people's eyes. Not only was he rich, but he also had an army.
As for whether this kind of cross-border marriage is suspected of treason, this Ma Dongqiang Ma official doesn't care.He had already consulted with someone in the yamen, and the "Da Ming Law" about intermarriage with foreigners only limited Mongolians and Semu people. There is a record in "Da Ming Law · Hu Law III", "Every Mongolian and Semu people should listen to the Chinese as a marriage. It must be consensual. This kind of self-marriage is not allowed. Violators will have eighty sticks, and men and women will become officials and slaves Those Chinese who do not want to marry Huihui and Qincha, follow this category and marry each other, and there is no restriction."
In the foreign-related marriage regulations of the Ming Dynasty, there is no mention of Haihan people, so the intermarriage between Ming people and Haihan people is not a taboo thing, at least it is legal before the imperial court prohibits it.Although the Haihan people and the garrison of Dengzhou Prefecture seem to be a bit wrong, but in the eyes of Ma Daguan, the Haihan people are much more reliable than the gang of unruly Qiu Ba in Dengzhou City. At least after Haihan arrived in Fushan County, But there has never been an act of apportioning large sums of money and food from the local government. Isn't this more kind than the Ming army from other places who scraped the ground three feet away?If I could find a Haihan uncle for my daughter, who would I be the landlord of Fushan County in the future?
But after Ma Dongqiang sent his brother-in-law Jiang Sheng away early in the morning, he always felt uneasy in his heart, as if he had missed something.Thinking about the amount of gifts prepared, it is really not too small, and I have said almost everything that Jiang Sheng should be told, but I still feel a little worried about gain and loss.
Regarding the matter of marriage, Ma Dongqiang really put in a lot of work. At first, he just went to the Jiahe River with the mood of watching the excitement, and wanted to see the origin of the foreign maritime merchant who defeated the Wanjia Army. After seeing the young Yingwei Chen Yixin, Ma Dongqiang wanted to get acquainted, and tried to find a way to find out about the Haihan soldiers. Still single and yet to have a family.
Having become a general at such a young age, Ma Dongqiang speculates according to common sense that Chen Yixin is probably from a powerful family in Haihan Kingdom.If they can climb up to this relative, who else in the Dengzhou Ma family will dare to bully them in the future?As long as a daughter is married, she can be exchanged for a big backer who cannot be moved by the government. This deal is absolutely worthwhile in Ma Dongqiang's view.At that time, he should have a lot more confidence in the matter of annexing the unowned land in the county with the Fushan county government.
Of course, when Ma Dongqiang made this decision, he never thought about communicating with his daughter.In his opinion, this kind of arrangement is extremely good for his daughter, and he is more worried about whether Haihan will accept this kind of marriage proposal, rather than whether his daughter is willing to accept this unilateral arrangement.
Ma Dongqiang's worries later became reality. Although Chen Yixin's attitude was very polite, and he even came to Majiazhuang for a banquet some time ago, he never let go of the marriage, and never even mentioned that he wanted to see himself. daughter.Although Ma Dongqiang was a little discouraged, he was unwilling to give up at this point. The more the other party declined, the more Ma Dongqiang felt that this matter must be done with all his strength.After thinking about it, he felt that the reason should be because the other party lacked trust in him, and his family property and clan could not be moved away in Fushan County, so it was impossible to seek refuge in Haihan like those refugees. The only solution was to By increasing the chips to highlight their sincerity.
This time Ma Dongqiang made up his mind and took most of the grain reserves in the village and gave them to Haihan in the name of comfort items. Fearing that the amount would not be enough, he also added livestock and cash.Many people in the clan opposed Ma Dongqiang's risky approach, and even his brother-in-law Jiang Sheng, who was in favor of it, was a little worried that such a move would eventually lead to nothing but meat buns beating dogs.But Ma Dongqiang insisted on doing this in the end. He felt that if it didn't work, he would be willing to give up the marriage proposal.Send these things out as a favor, and maybe you can get some rewards from the Haihan people in the future.
Ma Dongqiang didn't find the real reason why he was restless all morning until he sat at the dinner table at noon: "Why isn't Yuling here? Didn't you ask her to eat?"
The "Yuling" that Ma Dongqiang said was the youngest daughter Ma Yuling that he planned to marry Haihan. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen her since waking up today.
Ma Dongqiang's three sons all moved out on their own after they got married. In this family, there were only Ma Dongqiang and his wife and two concubines. Ma Yuling was born to Dongmei, the second concubine, and was also the youngest child in the family.There are few people eating at this table, so you can see it at a glance.
Ma Dongqiang saw that the little concubine Dongmei's face was a little strange, and he didn't respond to him immediately, so he immediately asked: "What's wrong with Yuling?"
Dongmei hurriedly replied, "No...it's nothing...it's just that I don't feel well, and I don't want to come out to eat."
"Uncomfortable?" Ma Dongqiang sensed something was wrong, Dang even put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Wait for me to see her!"
Dongmei's face turned pale, and she quickly got up and knelt down: "Master, please spare Yuling!"
Ma Dongqiang snorted, ignored the concubine, and went straight out of the flower hall where he had dinner.There are four courtyards in the Ma family. Ma Dongqiang and his wife and two concubines live in the third courtyard, while his daughter Ma Yuling lives in the second courtyard.Ma Dongqiang went to the wing room where Ma Yuling lived, opened the door and saw that there was no one in the room.
Ma Dongqiang was in a bad mood, so he walked quickly to the closet and opened the closet door to have a look. The clothes he wore every day were also taken away, including a new padded jacket made for her last month. .
"This stinky girl actually ran away from home!" Ma Dongqiang was so angry that he spent all his money in the marriage with Haihan, but he didn't expect that it was not the Haihan people who had an ambiguous attitude, but himself. pro-daughter.
When Ma Dongqiang turned around, he saw that Dongmei had followed her, knelt down at the door in despondency, and immediately scolded: "How did you teach her when you were a mother? Do you know how troublesome this is? If you want to cry, you will cry later. Hurry up." Tell me where she went!"
Dongmei responded weeping: "The child doesn't want to marry a barbarian in the southern country, so why should the master force her?"
"You old lady, don't keep your mouth open, let people listen to it, the hundreds of people in this Majiazhuang will be finished!" Ma Dongqiang heard his concubine call the Haihan people "southern barbarians", and immediately covered his mouth The impulse of her mouth.
Ma Dongqiang knew that although the Haihan people behaved well and helped 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 surrounded by several people by the river. They were all bandits from the Wanjia army who fought against Haihan back then.I heard that a few days ago, the Haihan people sent troops into the mountains again, and wiped out the remnants of the Wanjia Army. Pu Xueguang and Gan Qiang, who had escaped from the battlefield before, were also arrested.With this kind of lessons learned, Ma Dongqiang does not want to take any risk of offending Haihan, especially the little concubine Dongmei who has no words to tell. If outsiders hear about it and report to Haihan, let alone marriage, Ma Whether the family village can survive or not is a question.
Ma Yuling didn't want to marry a Haihan person, and Ma Dongqiang actually knew to some extent, but he didn't care about his daughter's attitude.In his opinion, the son-in-law he is looking for this time is already a dragon among men, and he is impeccable. If his daughter can marry him, it will be considered a great blessing.But he really didn't expect his daughter to have such a strong side, and to play such a decisive trick when the situation came to an end.
"Master, Master Jiang is back!" At this moment, a servant came to report the news of Jiang Sheng's return to Ma Dongqiang.
As soon as Jiang Sheng entered the second courtyard, he saw Ma Dongqiang standing with a livid face, and his sister Jiang Dongmei was kneeling beside him, and he wondered, "Why are you standing here while you don't eat at this time?"
"Ask her what good deed she has done!" Ma Dongqiang replied angrily.
Jiang Sheng didn't understand what he meant, but he smoothed things over and said: "I rushed back from the mine, and I didn't have time to eat. If you want to quarrel, can you wait until I eat first?"
Although Ma Dongqiang was angry, he still had his business in mind. Hearing this, he hurriedly asked, "How is the matter going?"
"It's no problem if I'm on the job!" Jiang Sheng replied proudly: "All the things sent have been accepted. Chief Chen couldn't stand my earnest persuasion, and finally let go. He said three times I will come to Majiazhuang to meet Yuling in the future. Let's wait until he meets Yuling first to talk about the rest of the matter!"
"Oh! What a disaster! What a disaster!" After hearing the news, Ma Dongqiang not only didn't feel the slightest joy, but shouted a disaster.
Jiang Sheng was puzzled and said, "Where did you talk about the disaster? Didn't you always want Chief Chen to come to Majiazhuang again?"
"It was a good thing at first, but now... Yuling ran away without making a sound!" Ma Dongqiang sighed: "When the time comes, Chief Chen will not be able to see anyone. Don't you think we are deliberately playing him?"
"Run away?" Jiang Sheng was taken aback when he heard that, and quickly turned to his sister, "Dongmei, is this really the case?"
Jiang Dongmei nodded with a mournful face and said, "Yuling...doesn't want to marry...a Haihan person, so she put away her clothes last night and slipped out early this morning."
Jiang Sheng hurriedly asked: "Where did she go? Tell us quickly, there are still three days left, as long as we can find her, 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...that's to go to her elder brother!" Ma Dongqiang heard his daughter's purpose immediately.This kind of girl in her teens must have a place to stay when she runs away from home, and Ma Dongqiang's eldest son is currently living in Dengzhou City, and Ma Yuling is going to Dengzhou, so there is only one person to go to.
Jiang Sheng said: "Then I will write a book and send it to Dengzhou."
Ma Dongqiang waved his hand and said: "Writing letters is afraid of going wrong, and her elder brother may not be able to hold her. Since she just left this morning, she has no sedan chair, horse and luggage, and she can't go far with two legs. Let's go and get her back as soon as possible."
It is more than a hundred miles from Majiazhuang to Dengzhou City. If you walk on foot, it will take two days.Ma Yuling had only been away for half a day, and she should be able to catch up with her now on horseback.
Ma Dongqiang moved as he said, called two followers, brought some dry food, drinking water, silver and protective weapons, and set off on horseback.Before leaving, Ma Dongqiang temporarily entrusted Jiang Sheng with family affairs, and asked him not to leak the news of Ma Yuling's runaway from home, so as not to cause more trouble for the Haihan people after hearing about it.
However, Miss Ma herself was not as strong as his father and uncle thought. It was true that she ran away from home, but the young lady regretted a little after she walked out.In order to hide her whereabouts, she left Zhuangzi before dawn, and didn't dare to ride the family's horse. The packed luggage carried a big bag, and she had to carry a lump in each hand. After walking for a long time, she rested three or four times trip.After walking for a whole morning, I came to a place seven or eight miles away from Majiazhuang.
