I want to be a grandson

Chapter 291 A Hero Comes Here, Not A Hero (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Ma He firmly held down his elder brother's hand, "Brother, just take it, I don't have to worry about what I eat and use in the palace, and I don't need the money by my side, so just take it, anyway. I also need some money at home, so I can deal with emergencies..."

Ma Wenming looked at his younger brother with red eyes, nodded and did not refuse.

Because Ma Wenming himself is a slave, his job is to obey the government's arrangement, to carry manure and water, clean the streets, or dig wells and ditches.

They do all the dirty work, but the money they get is the least, and they are often deducted.

His wife does starch, wash clothes, and mend military uniforms, and the food she can get is very limited.

Ma Wenming knew that his mother was very old and her health was very bad, and she might die at any time.

If it was an ordinary family, they would have prepared the coffin and shroud for burial in their later years.

But for their family, thank God if they didn't starve to death.

Where will there be time and spare money to buy those things!
As a son, if he can't even buy a thin-skinned coffin when his mother dies, and just bury his mother miserably like that, he really feels ashamed of his ancestors...

Knowing his brother's intentions, the elder brother had no choice but to endure the shame and accept the copper coins.

Looking at these obedient, well-behaved and very sensible children, Ma He felt very uncomfortable.

You must know that although the ancient eunuch was a disabled person, his speech and behavior were almost the same as normal men.

Both appearance and voice are very normal.

It's not like the actors in some TV movies in the later generations, squeezing their voices to imitate women, raising their orchid fingers to be more women than women, with an evil face, and even like to wear women's clothes and pretend to be women.

That's just what everyone thinks the eunuch looks like, and it's completely different from the historical facts.

They just lost a little something, not changed their caste!
Still a man!
Although Ma He is an eunuch, he has never regarded himself as a dirty and useless person in his mind!
There is pride and ambition in him!

But the reality we are facing now makes people short of breath...

When Ma He was young, he lived a life not to mention rich clothes and good food, but at least he had no worries about food and clothing. He never went hungry at all, nor did he worry about food.

But the mother and elder brother in front of him, as well as these children in the family, can only humble themselves in front of others,

As a slave, what dignity can there be?
But even so, he was still struggling!

The family is starving all year round and the kids don't even know what meat tastes like!

As a man, Ma He felt deeply ashamed and guilty.

At this moment, his heart was a little shaken...

After lunch, Ma He's elder brother went to work again, and there seemed to be endless work.

The sister-in-law and the children also went to wash clothes for the government servants, and the clothes could never be fully washed.

Ma He came to the side of his mother who was sitting on the broken bed, summoned up his courage and said, "Mother, don't worry, old man, Master Daoyan of King Yan's Mansion wants to accept me as a disciple and let the child follow him to practice Buddhism..."

"Master Yao also pleaded with His Royal Highness King Yan. As long as the time is right, our family will be exempted from slavery. Mother, this is a great thing. Our family will get better soon..."

When he said this, Ma He was full of contradictions and anxiety.

He wanted to comfort his mother and tell her the good news.

But it seems that he is also seeking the support of his mother...

Ma Ma Wen carefully looked at her son, but there was no joy on her face.
Instead, he asked softly, "Then what are you thinking?"

Wen's family is also very knowledgeable, without any explanation from his son, he knew that this master Daoyan must have a high status in Yanwang's mansion.

Ma He smiled excitedly and said: "Mother, my boy is of course very grateful to Master Yao and His Royal Highness King Yan. If our family can get rid of slavery, we won't have to starve from now on. With my brother's knowledge and talent, we must It can make the whole family worry about food and clothing..."

"My nephews Heng'er, Yi'er, and Jun'er can all go to the school to read and write. When the time comes, we will pass the examination of Jinshi, and our family will be glorious..."

Wen shook her head and said, "He'er, mother isn't saying it's good for our Ma family, but mother is asking if you like it in your heart."

Ma He said with a smile: "Mother, what is there to be unhappy about, if you can worship Master Yao as a teacher, even if you are a handicapped person, you can display your talents and learning, but if your child accepts the Bodhisattva precepts, you have to tell your mother."

Mother Ma Wen said with gloomy eyes: "He'er, you are a descendant of our Ma family, and our family is indeed very difficult now, and mother knows that you are suffering.

But Heer, you need to know that my mother has also read "The Story of a Martyr", and she likes "Le Yang Zi's Wife" the most. You can recite it for her, and let her listen to it again. "

"mother……"

With this motherly cry, Ma He's eyes turned red instantly.

Wen's complexion changed, and he reprimanded: "Back!"

Ma He lowered his head, obeyed his mother's wishes, and recited in a choked voice: "Yang Zi tasted the journey, and he left a piece of gold to return to his wife.

The wife said: "My concubine heard that people with lofty ideals don't drink water from stolen springs, and those who are honest don't get food from cheap ones. What's more, they pick up leftovers for profit, so as to pollute their actions!"''

Wen raised her head and stared at her son, and said with great pain in her heart: "My concubine has heard that nobles...don't drink water from stolen springs, and honest people don't get food from cheap ones! What's more...you're going to pollute them!"

Wen said: "He'er, the ancients had a noble character and did not ask for anything. This is what mother expects from you."

As a sensible person, after all, Ma He was born and raised by her, and he is very clear about his son's habits.

So Wen knew that his son was lying from the horse and his demeanor and expression, and that was not his intention at all!

It's just that for this family, I want to choose a compromise...

Ma He knelt down on the ground with a "plop", wept bitterly and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong..."

Wen said: "He'er, you must follow your heart in everything, and there must be no deviations. It doesn't matter if our family is a little bit tired.
But if a person loses his heart and integrity, even a high-ranking official with rich salary, rich clothes and good food will be ugly in the eyes of mother! "

"Kids, remember, thank you for your mother's teaching!"

No one is willing to violate the hold in their hearts.

However, people are always very helpless in many cases.

When there is no roof above and no foothold below, no matter how heroic you are, you can't resist the words hunger, cold, and poverty.

A penny stumps a hero, and a meal hurts a hero.

When people are surrounded by rich clothes, jade, food and flowers, it is easy to say beautiful words, and it is easy to judge from the highest point of morality.
Because he has not suffered that kind of suffering, he has not suffered that kind of crime, so he can maintain the identity and image of a modest gentleman.

But if he experiences that kind of situation, maybe he will become even more evil...

A hero is here, but he may not be a real hero...

Ma He had his own persistence in his heart, but he wavered just now.

He thought that if his mother supported his decision without knowing it, then he would follow suit,

I can also deceive myself and others to feel better in my heart...

Then accept the kindness of Prince Yan's Mansion...

But after hearing what his mother said, Ma He completely dispelled this idea. What his mother said is right, the most important thing is to stick to your heart and integrity.

But looking at the distressed scene at home in a blink of an eye, it is still dilapidated and cannot be changed.

After all, Ma He felt ashamed in his heart...

"Anyone at home?"

A cry outside the house interrupted the thoughts of the mother and son.

Ma He said to his mother, "Mother, I'll go out and have a look."

Wen didn't know who the other party was, so he nodded and said, "Then you go."

Enduring the pain in his body, Ma He stood up and walked out of the house. When he reached the door, he saw several palace eunuchs standing outside, and a carriage with a shed beside him.

Ma He was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what these people in the palace were doing here, so before he had time to think about it, he quickly saluted and said, "I have seen you father-in-law, what advice do you have?"

Wang Zhong said with a smile: "You are the Ma He who wrote the paperwork to the capital prison and wants to return to Beijing?
"Exactly, may my father-in-law know the prison?"

Ma He didn't know why, so he had to know that although he applied to be transferred back to the capital, he didn't have any hope.

It's like a prisoner in a prison who wants to serve his sentence elsewhere for some reason. Of course you can report it, but the higher authorities don't take it seriously at all!
Wang Zhong said: "I don't know all about the prison, don't you want to stay in the capital, then come with me."

Ma He frowned slightly and asked, "Where will father-in-law take me?"

Wang Zhong didn't answer his words, but said: "The carriage is here, go and say goodbye to the family."

"Yes, thank you, father-in-law."

From their attire, Ma He knew that they were from the palace, especially Wang Zhong was wearing the clothes of Wupinjulang!

You must know that even in the palace, there are not many eunuchs who can be a fifth-rank eunuch!

Such a person can be said to be a powerful figure in front of the eunuchs in the palace, with a high status.

But he actually came to pick him up in person!
Ma He understood that the other party must have no malicious intentions!
Because of his humble status, the fifth-rank eunuch in front of him could easily crush him to death, so why bother to spend all this effort.

Could it be that his time has come and gone?

Could it be that His Royal Highness King Yan used his strength?

Ke Mahe knew it was impossible.

Because no matter how big Yan Wang is in front of His Majesty, at most he will be exempted from the slavery of his whole family, and it is impossible to send a fifth-rank eunuch in the palace to pick him up in person.

The other party didn't say what happened, which made Ma He feel a little uneasy.

After returning to the house, Ma He told his mother that he had something to go back, and comforted her in many ways, telling her not to worry too much.

Wen also understood that the other party should have no malicious intentions, thinking that it was Yan Wangfu who asked him to go back, so he reluctantly bid farewell, and did not do much to keep him.

Ma He was still in pain and walked unnaturally. He came to Wang Zhong and said, "Thank you Eunuch, I can go with Eunuch."

"Get in the carriage. Others saw your appearance and thought we were trying to do something to you."

Ma He looked at the carriage, saluted and said, "I dare not ride, I can keep up."

Wang Zhong frowned and said, "Hurry up when I tell you to get in the car, don't waste your words!"
