As the son of a fourth-rank prefect, Boss Ma also wanted to marry a woman with a family background and matched appearance in all aspects, but his stepmother tried to obstruct him. He was unwilling to obey his stepmother's arrangements and married the daughter of his stepmother's gangster brother, so he could only marry the local barbarian woman in Huaishuo.

Among the limited candidates, Boss Ma chose the most suitable family for him, which is Senbutoya, whom he is now marrying. After getting married, he can reduce his stepmother's vigilance and get rid of his stepmother's control by helping his father-in-law manage his business. In this way, he can participate in the imperial examination and become an official, and he will let the vicious woman suffer the consequences.

"Big Young Master, I have something to report." The only follower next to Boss Ma who was loyal to him was his nanny brother Dahong, who was outside the door.

"Come in." Boss Ma frowned. It was only three days before his marriage. What trouble did the woman want to make?

Dahong pushed the door open and said, "The eldest young master, my cousin's wife invited Prince Anguo and his wife to attend the eldest young master's wedding banquet by passing Huaishuo." The Liu family was the distant cousin of the Magistrate Ma, and he had a deep relationship with the original wife of Magistrate Ma, so he would fight with Mrs. Ma when he met.

"Take it seriously?" Boss Ma was very surprised.

"It was said by my cousin's wife." Dahong said with a smile.

Boss Ma smiled and said, "I understand." He will seize the opportunity that his cousin has won for him.

On the first day when Boss Ma got married, Liu came to the post station with gifts to visit Yanhu. Yanhu and Fu Zhixing were fiddling with some gadgets he bought on the street yesterday. When he heard the maid's report, Fu Zhixing told Yanhu, "It's the Tongzhi's wife who invited you to the wedding banquet."

"Then am I going to see her?" Yan Hu asked.

"If you want to see me, go see me." Fu Zhixing said with a smile.

After being seen through again, Yan Huo laughed twice, "I only realized why she came when I saw her."

After saying that, Yan Huo changed his clothes and went to the small hall to meet the guests.

When Liu saw Yan Huo coming out, he greeted him and said straight to the point: "I'm here to apologize to my wife."

Yan Huo was a little surprised, "I don't remember Mrs. He offended me."

"Master Ma is my distant cousin, and Ma is his second wife. Ma is unkind to be a mother and does not want my nephew to stand out. He also forces him to marry a daughter from a local businessman as his wife. My master is under my cousin, so I can't help my nephew, so I will use his wife, hoping that the wife and the prince can help my poor nephew." Liu did not want to save face for Master Ma at all, and he said anything.

Yan Hu frowned, "Does Ma Ma ignore Mrs. Ma?"

"Madam, if you have a stepmother in this world, you will have a stepfather." Liu said with a wry smile.

Yan Hu was silent for a moment, "This is a private matter of the Ma family, we are afraid we can't help."

"Madam, this matter is just a small task for the prince and his wife." Liu said nervously.

"Let me tell me." Yan Huo said cautiously.

"The prince mentioned my nephew a few words, so that my cousin could pay more attention to my nephew and make Mrs. Ma feel afraid." Liu said her purpose nervously.

"That's it?" Yan Huo asked in surprise.

Liu smiled, "It's too much to ask for it when he met his wife before."

After hearing this, Yan Huo had a better impression of Liu, "I will tell the prince, I think the prince will be willing to help Nephew Ling."

"Thank you, madam, thank you, madam." Liu said in a deep voice.

After a few more gossips, Liu said goodbye and left. Yan Huo politely sent her away. He turned back. Fu Zhixing had already taken the gadgets back into the vine box. He sat on the couch and read a book. When he saw her coming in, he raised his eyes, "What's the matter with you, Mrs. Liu?"

Yan Huo sat down beside him and said Liu's intention, "I think it's a trivial matter. I didn't ask you, I promised her first."

"You can agree." Fu Zhixing smiled faintly.

The next morning, Boss Ma wore a colorful robe, colorful ribbons, a dome-shaped red-taxed hat, high-tube leather boots, and bows and arrows. He went to Senbu's house to marry the bride with the best man.

The wedding customs of Huaishuo City are completely different from those of Beijing. The bride welcomes the door and worships the divine fire first. She comes with the bride and sings a song of worship with the relatives. "...The sun army marrys a girl. In order to accompany her brother-in-law, my mother combed her long black hair... Through the baptism of the eternal divine fire, the marriage ignites a prosperous life."

The emcee on the man's side sang when the newcomer worshiped the heaven and earth: "...Works to heaven and earth to worship ancestors, and gives us happiness and health for generations..."

Then the man's wedding reception sang: "...Thank you for your parents' grace for raising me, and the newlyweds are happy and auspicious to pay homage to you... The groom from the golden family came to marry her beloved girl. In order to marry her beloved girl, sheep and cows are in nine boxes of betrothal gifts, and gorgeous clothes are carved with golden saddles..."

Sending and welcoming guests were singing and dancing, as happy as a dance party, not a wedding. Yan Huo was eager to try it. If the maid hadn't been holding her desperately, she would have almost been affected by the atmosphere and danced up.

"Mrs. Young lady, you want to dance. When you return home, you can dance to the prince." Xiaocao advised.

Yan Hu didn't know what he thought of, his pretty face turned slightly red, and he said arrogantly: "I don't want to jump to him."

After dancing for nearly an hour, the sky darkened, the wedding was almost the same as the ones in Beijing. The bride was sent to the new house to sit on the bed. The mascot invited by the man began to spread the tent, "A handful of chestnuts, a handful of dates, and the smaller ones ran with the bigger ones."

The people who were sprinkled in the capital were red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds and longans, and the people who were sprinkled in Huaisuo were sprinkled in red dates and chestnuts. After the sprinkle, the mascot took the dates and chestnuts to the bride and groom, and asked deliberately: "What is this?"

"Date, chestnut." The groom and the bride replied.

"Let me be ready, let me be ready." The children cheered and ran out of the new house.

The bride and groom drank the wine and the girl gave her makeup, which was different from the Beijing city. As the most honorable guest, Yanhu was the first to give it to her, and she gave her a set of jewelry that was taken out of Beijing to prepare for gifts.

When everyone opened the jewelry box, everyone's eyes lit up. The top was a silver gilt ginseng flower hairpin with pearls inlaid. The pruning shape was ginseng, with peach blossom patterns next to it, and pearls were inlaid on the stamens, which meant "life was good."

The shape is ancient and beautiful, colorful, vivid and elegant, and it makes Mrs. Ma jealous. What qualifications does a barbarian woman have to wear such a beautiful hairpin?

"Tuya, this is the wife of Prince Anguo." Liu did not expect Yan Hu to take action so generously.

The reason why Yan Huo took out this set of jewelry was that he thought that since he wanted to be favored, he had to do the favors perfectly. This generous makeup made Boss Ma feel full of gratitude. When Boss Ma went out to toast, Fu Zhixing deliberately talked to him for a few words.

Prefect Ma saw it and thought that Prince Anguo was so cold and his eldest son, who was not as good as martial arts, was favored by him? Could it be that because he valued himself,... Prefect Ma smiled and narrowed his eyes, leaving Huaishuo just around the corner.
