Chapter 35: Another Disaster

After Ma Xi ran away, Ma Mingfeng ignored him and rushed home with Chunwang.

According to the original memory, Ma Mingfeng soon came to a house.

The Ma family is also a big family that lives in the local area. The Ma family's houses and ancestral halls occupy most of the villages. Because Ma Shiying is the second Jinshi of the Ma family, although he is now dismissed from office, he has a relatively high status in the Ma family. The house he lives in is the core area of ​​the Ma family courtyard group, and of course it is also closest to the Ma family's ancestral hall.

As soon as Ma Mingfeng arrived at the door, an old servant Ma Hua came up and said with joy: "It turns out that the old man is back. This is really a great joy. The master said in the letter before that the young master may not be able to come back until July. Unexpectedly, the young master arrived on June 17th, and it was more than half a month in advance. If the wife knew about it, she would be so happy."

Ma Mingfeng nodded. Although he was no longer the same Ma Luan, the other party's memory was still preserved. Not only that, some of Ma Luan's feelings were also preserved. For example, when someone mentioned his cheap mother, he involuntarily developed feelings of longing and attachment.

Although Ma Mingfeng knew that he would no longer speak Ma Luan, he replaced the other party's body and of course he had to bear all kinds of responsibilities of this person. On the other hand, these are all relatives of his body in biology and cannot be given up no matter what. As for feelings, since there is feelings themselves, isn't that a good thing to be glad?

So Ma Mingfeng pushed open the door and decided not to restrain the feelings and act directly according to the emotions. So he quickly ran to the back hall and knelt down to a woman in her thirties who seemed dignified and charming. He said with a sob: "My mother, I'll greet you Ma Luan."

At that time, Ma Mingfeng's cheap mother, Li, was talking to her daughter. Unexpectedly, a young man suddenly ran in. She was still in an accident. Seeing that the other party called her child, she finally saw clearly that the young man in front of her was actually her son whom she had been thinking about day and night. She suddenly felt warm and tears fell: "Luan'er, why are you, my son? Am I dreaming?"

Ma Mingfeng held back his tears, took off his sword and put it aside, and said to Li, "The child was in a hurry to get on the road because he was thinking about his mother, so he arrived early."

But I saw the young girl beside me smiling and said, "I haven't seen you for so many days, and my brother will say sweet words."

Ma Mingfeng knew that this was his cheap sister Ma Meitian, so he came up to see the girl. She had a long figure, melon-shaped face, and black hair. She could be regarded as a first-class beauty. She has been betrothed to Zhang Erpei, the only son of the Zhang family, a wealthy family in Guiyang.

Ma Meitian originally met her younger brother to make fun of her, but saw Li saying seriously: "What is sweet words? What my son is definitely saying is the truth? You didn't see that he was about to cry? What is your girl saying? A girl is outgoing, and this old saying is right at all. When you talk to the girl about Erpei, that expression is good no matter where it is good. Why is it a sweet word now when you reach your younger brother?"

Ma Meitian couldn't help but blush when she heard this. Her mother proposed her unmarried husband at this time, which made her a little ashamed. She stomped her jade feet and said, "I won't tell you anymore, I'll go embroidery."

Then the girl crawled into her bedroom and never came out again.

Ma Mingfeng looked at this scene with a faint smile on his face. Since he traveled through time, he has rarely experienced such family happiness, and has rarely lived a few days of peaceful life like this. However, only in this way can Ma Mingfeng feel like a home and that he is not alone when traveling through time.

Then Li took Ma Mingfeng's hand and asked him carefully about his meals, dresses, and study in Nanjing. He also asked him how he got along the way.

Ma Mingfeng simply introduced his various situations, and those important experiences such as encountering a soldier mutiny in Anqing Prefecture and not saying anything about the events that happened in Miao Village. The reason why he did this was mainly because he was afraid of causing Li's concern.

After the two of them talked for a while, a small figure walked in and said in surprise: "Brother? When did you come? Don't you tell me?"

After saying that, the little guy jumped towards Ma Mingfeng.

Ma Mingfeng didn't tell the story of seeing Ma Xi before, pretending to be kind and respectful to him and hugged Ma Xi. However, if this little guy's clothes had not been changed now and looked relatively clean and tidy, Ma Mingfeng wouldn't have done this.

Then he asked him a few words, especially his studies.

Maxi's little face suddenly turned black, and she clamored that she was hungry and wanted to go to the kitchen to get some food, and then left in a flash.

Ma Mingfeng held back his laughter and continued to talk to Li.

At this time, Li's topic had shifted to Ma Xi. In fact, Ma Xi was incompetent and did not have a good job in studying. Li didn't know about this, and he also made up his mind to discipline him. However, Ma Xi was not a material for studying at all. He was drowsy when he arrived at the school. Or he had a soul wandered outside the sky. Li found several strict teachers, but he was angry at him. In the end, Li was disappointed and no longer cared about Ma Xi's studies.

Li was helpless with Ma Xi. Now that Ma Mingfeng has returned, he hopes Ma Mingfeng will be in charge of his younger brother when he has time. After all, the elder brother is like his father. Now that Ma Shiying is not here, Ma Mingfeng, as the eldest brother, has the responsibility to discipline his younger brother.

Ma Mingfeng naturally agreed to this, but Ma Mingfeng smiled and said, "Actually, the child thinks that there are thousands of roads to becoming a talent, and it is not necessarily necessary to take the imperial examination. Since the second child is unwilling to study, we can take a look at what he likes to do and lead according to his interests. In the future, he may be able to embark on a path to success."

But Li smiled bitterly and said, "This little guy is just a whim. Do you know what he wants to do? He once said that he wants to learn from our Ma family's senior, Master Sanbao, and rides the wind and waves on a big boat and travels through the world. Tell me what his little head is in? It's not that he is so conservative. Our Guizhou is so far away from the sea. Ordinary people can't walk out of the mountains in their entire lives. It's impossible to see the sea, let alone a great voyage."

"What? This kid actually has such a wish?" Ma Mingfeng was very surprised. He really didn't expect that this naughty kid would have such an ideal.

The current world situation is most people in the Ming Dynasty who do not understand, even the newly rising powers of the Qing Dynasty do not understand, and even the Qing people are more conservative than the Ming people. However, Ma Mingfeng clearly knows that the current Western powers are in fierce competition around world colonial hegemony. Due to the decline of the old empire Spain, the amount of silver that the Ming Dynasty can obtain is also declining, which has led to the phenomenon of high silver and low money in the Ming Dynasty, which has become even worse.

So in Ma Mingfeng's view, to a certain extent, if you want to save the Ming Dynasty, you cannot just focus on the Ming Dynasty, but look at the world. In this case, ocean navigation is also a very wise choice to open up to the West.

"It's a pity that my younger brother is too young, and he doesn't have professional navigation knowledge at all. Now he is just a pure fantasy. If you want to achieve this, unless you send him to the beach and study hard with the giants who have been working on the beach for many years, now it is estimated that only Zheng Zhilong and his son are the ones with this strength. Not to mention that I don't know Zheng Zhilong at all, even if I know him, my younger brother is so young, I can't let him go there, otherwise I would probably be scolded to death by my cheap father and mother."

Ma Mingfeng was thinking about his thoughts silently. During this period, Ma Xi sneaked into the room, took some delicious food and asked Ma Mingfeng if he wanted it, and then gently withdrew.

Ma Mingfeng spoke with Li for a while and suddenly felt a little urinating. He stood up and wanted to go to the toilet. However, when he looked at the table, his sword disappeared.
