The Heartless Mage Chapter 95: Master Ma
On a sunny afternoon, Mr. Ma returned home.
Master Ma, whose real name is Ma Haoran, is only in his fifties this year. For a politician, he is a prime age, not old. Saiwei and Shengyi had planned clearly in advance, and now they went to greet them with happy faces. Naturally, there were also the fourth young lady Ma Tianjiao and the fifth young master Ma Junjie.
Mixed in the crowd without a trace, passing by in the distance. After seeing Mr. Ma's face clearly, he understood why Saiwei and Shengyi were the most favored - Mr. Ma was also a skinny figure, with a naturally curly head close to the scalp, and the facial features were straight and flat, and Saiwei was the same as Saiwei. Shengyi stood together, it was the three big thorns of the same height. The relationship between them needs no introduction, one can tell at a glance that they are like a fake family.
Sai Wei and Shengyi greeted him first, and then the fourth young lady also greeted him. The fifth young master was rigid, but stood still in the crowd. The rest of the unborn young concubines stood on the periphery, chatting and laughing beamingly. Master Ma seemed to have fallen into a pile of fat and powder, and moved forward slowly under the siege of Yingyingyanyan.
After dinner, Shengyi returned to the small courtyard alone, and after entering the door, the whole world shouted Wuxin. Calling Wuxin out of the east wing, he immediately pushed the other party back into the room: "Quick, quick, wash your face and change your clothes, what did you eat to eat a black mouth? Hurry up and brush your teeth! My sister Xiang Dad mentioned you, and Dad wants to see you!"
Wu Xin was very surprised: "Huh?"
Sheng Yi desperately shoved him into the bathroom: "When I see my father, it's enough to say that you were a monk, but don't mention that you were a magician in Shanghai! Also, I and I My sister met you on the street, and we chatted a little and became friends. Remember?"
Wuxin was dizzy by him, brushing his teeth in a hurry, spraying a mouthful of white foam, bending over to the pool and asking, "Are you willing to recognize me as a brother-in-law again?"
Sheng Yi sighed with hatred for not being able to make steel: "Hey! It's not good for a girl to stay. If she has to get married, she'll just marry you. No matter how bad you are, you're better than outsiders!"
Inadvertently brushed his teeth, washed his face, and scratched his head a few times with a comb. Standing firmly in front of Shengyi, he lifted his trousers and tied his belt, while Shengyi raised his head slightly and tied a full tie for him. The two of them worked together by division of labor, but within a few minutes, they ran out of the door together in suits and leather shoes.
Sheng Yi took Wuxin to the front of Ma's house and entered the mansion where Mr. Ma used to live. Although it was still autumn, the heating was already on in the building, and the warm air was blowing at the door. Master Ma changed into a dark blue satin robe, and sat on the couch with a small dry face. Saiwei sat beside him, although his features were similar to him, but he was more fresh and nourished for decades than him.
The fourth young lady, the fifth young master, and the concubines all retired, and the large living room was quiet. Mr. Ma asked Wuxin to sit down opposite, and asked his origin slowly. According to Shengyi's instructions, he answered clearly, with a smile on his face all the time. Sai Weiyuan looked at him, the more she looked, the happier she became, and when the conversation between Master Ma and him came to an end, she picked up the conversation and said, "If you want to say what he has, he has nothing, and fleeing to a foreign country alone, can he Life is lucky; but it's okay to ask him, he is healthy, gentle in temperament, needs knowledge and knowledge, and thinks and thinks; he also lacks the most important elements of a person. Dad, you see, I am not here Nonsense. If it's just for fun, I can find a flashy child for company. But when people are young, they should take every step in the right direction. I think with our family background, we don't need to climb high branches. Marrying my daughter; since material issues are not a problem, I'm looking for a good partner who fits me spiritually."
Master Ma laughed, his dry, thin face was shaved, and no fibrous roots were visible. At first glance, he didn't look like Master Ma, but Mrs. Ma. Of course, it would be very outrageous to let his daughter marry a poor monk who had just returned from secular life; but according to his mind, he really didn't want to let Saiwei marry outside. Even if he is not unintentional, he plans to recruit a son-in-law for his second daughter. The children in the family are not good, and he really wants to train a few capable soldiers to help him fight against the eldest son in Tianjin.
He regrets that he should have shot Ma Yinghao to death.
Master Ma raised his hand and touched his short curly hair, his eyelids fluttered, he glanced at Wuxin again, and at the end he smiled again. Half-aged. Because he is the father of Saiwei and Shengyi, Wuxin sat upright and did not dare to laugh. Shengyi sat on the side with his eyes down and lost his mind, suspecting that the reason why he hated men so much was because of his father's influence. As a man, his father's every move was wrong. He saw it in his eyes and hated it in his heart. From this to that, he also hated all men.
"I know that you young people fall in love first, and only after a certain level of love are willing to get married." Master Ma touched his curly hair and opened his mouth, with a slight drake voice, still very much like old Mrs. Ma : "Dad is not an antique, he was also modern back then. I was modern first, and you are modern. Besides, you are really a big girl, haha!" He nodded again to the air in front of him, and said softly in a standard London accent: " Womenaremeanttobeloved.”
Sheng Yi, because she understood it, swallowed her saliva, thinking that there is absolutely no need for a father to talk about love issues with his daughter. Saiwei is like a bird, chirping and laughing: "Dad, you are not allowed to say any more!"
On the matter of marriage, Mr. Ma did not reveal the slightest tone, but only used a sentence of English to divert the topic. Saiwei didn't let him say it, and he just didn't want to. He understands Saiwei's intentions very well, and women can still be fascinated, such as his fifth sister at the time, and now his daughter. In this day and age, it is more civilized and free. If the second child wants to fall in love, let her fall in love; when it comes time to talk about marriage, I have my own way to control her.
She doesn't know what surprises her father will say next. Just watching Mr. Ma with his orchid fingers pinching a spoon and stirring coffee, he can't bear it anymore. And Saiwei knew that he was unbearable, so he left him and Wuxin without a word. The living room became completely empty, she turned her face away, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Dad, I have something important to tell you. I know you have a hard journey, but you can't talk about it. Let's go to your study, okay? Good?"
Master Ma opened his mouth to his daughter, made a naive expression, and stood up at the same time.
In Master Ma's small study, Saiwei completely betrayed Ma Junjie.
Master Ma sat behind the large desk, listening and thoughtfully lighting a cigar for himself. When Saiwei finished talking about the cause and effect, he held a cigar, tilted his head and exhaled a breath of smoke, then looked up at Saiwei and said, "Second girl, Dad believes everything you say."
Then he bit his cigar and took a deep breath: "But what Junjie said, Dad doesn't really believe it."
Sai Wei leaned sideways against the edge of the desk, suddenly a little confused: "Dad, do you think Junjie is lying?"
Master Ma pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and stared at the cigar's fire head with a sudden smile: "Sai Wei, Dad treats you as a son, and doesn't want you to grow up and marry, just marry me. The family is irrelevant. If you don't ask the secrets of the Ma family, I will tell you sooner or later. Your mother is of good nature, and the children you have raised are also good. Dad has always looked up to you and Shengyi, have you realized it? "
Sai Wei nodded immediately: "Of course, my mother said that we only kiss Dad, not her!"
Master Ma leaned his body and rested his left elbow on the armrest of the sofa chair. The right hand stretched out and placed the cigar on the glass ashtray. As a person grows old, his spirit gradually becomes weaker, and he finds that he will never be able to live alone; good children still have to be drawn to his subordinates.
"Before I went to Japan, I did have some private conversations with your mother." He put his right hand on the writing table, with a half-length nail on his little finger, and tapped lightly on the table at this moment: "The problem is, I only said that there are treasures hidden in the house, and I didn't say anything later!"
Savi subconsciously stretched his neck, and his ears also tended to stand up.
Master Ma slightly frowned his two flat eyebrows: "I went to your mother's house that night, and added the following words to her. All in all, the content of the words is not wrong. But Junjie will never twice Are they all hidden next to you?"
Then he raised a finger at Sevi and made a warning gesture: "This is one of the problems."
Sai Wei was a little at a loss: "Then... Where did Junjie hear the news?"
Master Ma shrugged his shoulders: "The only people who know the secret are me and your mother in the Ma family. If I don't say it, who else can say it?"
Savi asked in disbelief: "Mother?"
Then she stammered and wanted to defend her mother: "Maybe Junjie listened to a few words and went out to learn the tongue, but the bad guy threatened her, and she had no choice but to tell the truth. Dad, I forgot to tell you. Before she died, my mother once wrote two letters to us, all of which were inappropriate, and she also said that she was bored at home and wanted to live with us in Shanghai for a while."
Master Ma has no plans to settle accounts with the dead, so he just nodded his head: "No matter what the inside story is, in a word, my secret was made public by your mother. Junjie knows about that room, and so does anyone else. It's hard to say!"
Sevi was speechless. He didn't dare to mention that the three of them had visited the garden at night and almost died; he also didn't dare to mention the eldest wife's killing act, because he didn't want to drag Wuxin into the water.
Master Ma continued: "Your mother is not stupid, and of course she won't take the initiative to say it, so it must be Junjie that thing is broken. Your mother, to be honest, has no shrewdness and cleverness, and is a kind person. How are those people's opponents? It must be someone's way and everything is fully explained. Who will those people be? One of them must be the old man, Junjie is her son!"
When Mr. Ma said this, he pulled the drawer in front of him and took out a piece of white paper and a pen. Spreading the white paper on the writing table, he unscrewed the cap of the pen, wrote the character "eight" on the paper, and at the same time muttered: "The old man can't do anything by himself, so he has to ask for help. Who to look for? Yes. One of your eldest brother. The fifth one said that he went to live in the nunnery? Very good, maybe there is her too. They are adults who are planning my money, if they have the opportunity, can they let it go?"
When the voice fell, Master Ma suddenly raised his head, and lowered his voice in hell: "Saiwei, I tell you, don't watch them spend a lifetime with me, they are all my enemies!"
Saiwei had a bitter face, no matter how he answered, so he still didn't say anything.
Master Ma raised his hand and touched his curly hair, and said, "Junjie's child, there is something wrong with his essence. No matter what he says in the future, you must give a discount to listen to it."
Sai Wei exhaled cold air from his nostrils: "I was kind to him, I was afraid that he would be hurt, but I didn't expect him to lie to me with truth and falsehood. I want to slap him!"
Master Ma waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry."
Sai Wei added: "Dad, Ba Yiniang won't be drowning no matter how you look at it. There must be something strange in the river, maybe there are man-eating monsters hiding in it. You must not go to the garden at night."
Master Ma nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up the cigar, and glanced at Saiwei by the way. The second child in the family is indeed stronger than the average child, but still young and naive. If it's a boy, it's fine, if it's a boy, you can take the place of yourself. But a girl is outgoing, who knows who she will be with in the future?
Master Ma's thoughts have always been imaginative and have no trajectory. While thinking about the suspicious case at home, he considered recruiting a son-in-law for his second daughter. The two ideas go hand in hand, each thinking his own way. In the end, he took another sip of his cigar and said in a smoky voice, "Junjie's words, whether true or false, will be overturned. All people are suspect. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go."
Then he stood up: "Okay, go back and rest!"
Savi clenched his fists and walked to the back yard, wanting to turn several times along the way to beat Ma Junjie. Reluctantly controlled herself to walk in a straight line, she walked, and suddenly figured out: "Junjie will lie to me, but who knows that my father will not lie to me? I don't care if there is a baby, anyway, don't look for me for bad things, and don't lose good things. Get off me. As long as I don't suffer, I don't care what you do!"
