() Seeing that the child came with his two younger brothers, Ma Yue smiled at him: "I am Ma Yue, who are you? Who is your father?"

"My name is Ma Dai, and my father's name is Ma Ju. I'm your cousin. Why doesn't Brother Yue even know me?" The child raised his head and blinked his eyes in confusion: "My father still doesn't know me?" I often tell me that I want to take you as an example in the future, saying that you know everything, so there are things you don’t know.”

Ma Dai, the name of Ma Yue, who has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" no less than three or five times, still has a memory.In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, when the generals Guan Zhang Zhao Ma Huang and the Five Tigers were all dead or old, this brother of Ma Chao's family became a famous general in Shu, but he did not expect to be so young now.

Ma Yue squatted down, patted Ma Dai's small shoulder with his hand and said, "Of course I know that there is a cousin like you, but we have never met, so if you don't tell me, how can I guess you?" What about your identity. Why, did you come with your uncle today?"

"En." Ma Dai nodded and said, "My father is drinking with people there, do you want to meet him?"

"It's gone. I'll make amends to my uncle after today's banquet is over."

"I heard that you can tell a lot of stories, Brother Yue, can you tell me a few?" Little Ma Dai suddenly suggested again, which made Ma Yue smile bitterly in his heart, never expecting that he would be pestered by such a child on.When he said this, the two brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie also got excited and asked Ma Yue to tell them some stories.After Ma Yue came back this time, he hadn't told the story to his two younger brothers. They thought of it now, and naturally they wouldn't let him go.

The three children made such a fuss that Ma Yue didn't know how to refuse for a while.At this moment, he heard a greeting: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Ma, how did you get here?"

Ma Yue followed the sound, but was also taken aback. He remembered this person, with that haughty appearance and the smile on the corner of his mouth, he was Lin Lie, one of the head of the Lin family.When Ri and his three fathers and sons went to Linjiawu, Ma Yue used words to squeeze him, so he still had some impression of this person.

Originally, Ma Yue didn't intend to pay attention to this person, but when he thought about the relationship between the Lin and Ma families in the future, he had no choice but to salute: "So it's Uncle Lin, my nephew is being polite here." He said to the three The child said: "I have something to do here, you go to other places to play first, and I will tell you a story tomorrow."

"Really?" After getting Ma Yue's affirmative answer, Ma Tie and the other three reluctantly separated from him and ran to another place.But Ma Yue looked at Lin Lie, waiting for the other party to speak. He knew that Lin Lie's sudden appearance was definitely not a coincidence. Since this person came to his door, he must have some kind of purpose.

Lin Lie chuckled: "Mr. Ma is really very elegant, but in this busy schedule, he sneaks out to play with a few children."

Ma Yue could hear some sarcasm in the other party's words, so he just smiled, and then said: "Uncle Lin Shi is too out of touch, you just call me Zhong Ling, I really can't bear to be called Mr. Ma."

When it comes to the word Zhongling, Ma Yue feels funny in his heart.Just two days ago, my father suddenly thought of taking a name for his eldest brother Ma Chao who was about to get married, so he called the two brothers over.As soon as Ma Teng brought up the matter, Ma Yue smiled wryly and said, "Father, please forgive me. The child already has a name, and his name is Zhong Ling."

"Huh?" Ma Teng was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Is this the expression you used at Dong Zhongying?"

"Yes, the incident happened suddenly at that time, and the child did not have time to consult his father, so he randomly chose this name for himself." Ma Yue explained.

"Hmm..." Ma Teng nodded, and he didn't get angry because his son took the sign for himself without authorization. He just stroked his beard for a while and said, "You are the second in my family, and the word Zhong is appropriate. As for The character Ling also coincides with the character Yue in your name, and the word Ling also has the meaning of surpassing, so this character can be regarded as fairly standard, not bad.”

After hearing this, Ma Yue was relieved, and at the same time secretly smiled, when he picked up this sign, he just thought of his surname in his previous life, so as to remind himself not to forget this aspect.But he didn't expect such a coincidence, but since his father said so, he took it as his intention.

Then, his father gave Ma Chao another name, and it was Meng Qi who Ma Chao expected.In this way, two days before Ma Chao got married, the two brothers had their own nicknames, and from then on, their parents also called them by their nicknames in front of outsiders, instead of calling them by their first names.

Hearing what Ma Yue said, Lin Lie smiled even wider. Now that he calls himself Uncle Shi, the relationship has been further improved, and some things are much easier to say.After exchanging a few pleasantries, he went straight to the topic: "Zhongling, I heard that you are already fourteen, and you will be fifteen after the new year. Have you ever thought about marriage?"

"This, I haven't thought about it." Ma Yue replied, already guessing what the other party wanted to say.

"It's fifteen, and it's time to think about this lifelong event." Lin Lie stepped forward and patted Ma Yue's shoulder lovingly and said, "What do you think of my Lin family's reputation in Xiliang?"

"The Lin family is the best among the wealthy families in Xiliang. It is a great fortune for my Ma family to get married with the Lin family."

"Hehe, we did have a little misunderstanding with you before, but after that incident, we have a new understanding of your Ma family. To be honest, although the reputation of the Ma family is far from being comparable to that of our Lin family, but But we are optimistic about the future of your Ma family. So our Lin family wants to get closer, since you are not engaged yet, and I also have a daughter waiting in my boudoir, why don't I marry my daughter to you, what do you think?" Lin The corner of Lie's mouth twitched slightly as he spoke, as if he was rather unwilling.

From Lin Lie's point of view, is there such a small gap between the Ma family and the Lin family?It's just that it's inappropriate for a collateral woman to marry Ma Chao, but now he wants to marry his daughter to Ma Yue, which makes him feel dissatisfied.But this matter is not up to him as a father. Everything is decided by the patriarch Lin Xie and other elders, saying that Ma Yue has a bright future, and if the Lin family wants to prosper, they must establish a relationship with him through marriage.This time, the news that the government will requisition food from these wealthy families, and Ma Yue is fully responsible for this matter, so the Lin family is more determined about this idea.

Although Lin Lie didn't want it in his heart, he also felt that Ma Yue would definitely agree after hearing the news, and he was overjoyed.But Ma Yue's performance surprised him a lot. Seeing that the young man just pondered for a while, he smiled and said: "My nephew is still young and has no achievements. I really dare not think so far. I appreciate Uncle Lin's kindness." Now, after I have made some achievements of my own, it’s not too late to think about starting a family.”

"..." After hearing this, Lin Lie was speechless for a long time.He was completely shocked by Ma Yue's words, and then he became even more angry.Well, I lowered my status to talk to Ma Yue about marrying my daughter, but the other party was so nice that he dismissed him with just one sentence. This really didn't take me and the Lin family seriously.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Lin Lie was about to curse, and his face darkened.But when he opened his mouth, he suddenly thought of his father's words when he asked him to come to marry him: "Even if we can't convince Ma Yue this time, we can't have a rift with him, which will ruin our overall plan."

So in the end he suppressed his anger, forced a smile and said, "Okay! It's a blessing to the Han Dynasty that Zhongling has such an idea, but I'm sorry for my uncle's underestimation of your ambition."

Ma Yue hurriedly said: "My nephew's words just now were a bit too direct, if I offend Uncle Shi, I apologize here first."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay." After taking a deep breath and suppressing his anger, Lin Lie said again: "I heard that you recently served under Dong Zhongying's command in Lintao. I don't know if this is true?"

"That's right, my nephew is serving as a staff member under Mr. Dong's account. If Uncle Shi needs my nephew for anything, please tell me." Ma Yue smiled lightly, it seemed that the other party was finally about to reveal his real purpose.

"As far as I know, I will use troops against the Qiang people in Liangzhou next year, and I heard that you presided over the preparation of food and grass?"

"With Dong Gong's trust, my nephew was indeed ordered to raise food and grass. But so far, I don't have any clue about this. If Uncle Shi can give me some advice, of course it would be the best."

"Have no idea yet? As an uncle like this, I can give you some advice." Lin Lie said and looked into Ma Yue's eyes: "It's better not to offend some people, otherwise these seemingly harmless forces will give you some advice." You have brought a lot of trouble, which is not something you, a young man, can handle."

Ma Yue laughed: "Oh? But I don't know which people Uncle Shi refers to? Please tell me directly."

"Hmph, I asked the question knowingly. Listen to my advice, you should give up your previous thoughts as soon as possible, or you will regret it one day." Lin Lie finally couldn't control his anger, and turned his head as soon as he said the words threateningly. and go.

Ma Yue watched Lin Lie leave, and a sneering smile flashed on the corner of his mouth: "Think that these few threatening words are trying to frighten me, so that I dare not do things anymore? You are too underestimating me, and you are too high on your own Strength. This era is no longer the time when a wealthy family can make people shy away because of their family background, we will wait and see!"
