Guo Zixing also lived up to Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations. As expected, it was a disastrous defeat in the internal struggle.

The Zhang family, who had been condescendingly taking care of Ma Xiuxiu before, now had to come and rely on his adopted daughter and Zhu Yuanzhang.

When she saw Ma Xiuxiu wearing simple clothes but couldn't hide her luxury, Mrs. Zhang, who was in a lot of panic now, couldn't help lowering her eyes, and the emotions in her heart were so complicated.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Zixing didn't care how many grievances they had before, but at this time they had to put on a gesture of hello, hello, hello everyone.

The two of them had a very happy conversation, and Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation that the power in Chuzhou must belong to Guo Zixing, so he continued to attack his father-in-law.

Bringing up the relationship with his father-in-law at this time made Guo Zixing feel his sincerity even more, and the man who was a little sluggish because of the defeat also laughed out loud.

Guo Zixing kept patting Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder, and when talking to him, his brows and eyes were filled with joy.

The two talked enthusiastically for a while, and then Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuxiu personally welcomed Guo Zixing and his family into the city.

After that, a banquet was held, and the important ministers of Chuzhou were invited to have a banquet together. Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang also recommended Guo Zixing without hesitation.

Seeing this, Guo Zixin couldn't help sighing, "You are the only one who is loyal and loyal to this Marshal."

In the past, when he had the position of Marshal, Guo Zixing was actually not like this. Every word he said would bring a self-proclaimed Marshal, but after losing his power, he was like a phoenix that had lost its hair.

I can't wait to bring such a self-proclaimed name in every sentence, as if I can make myself look less pitiful.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, father-in-law promoted Guorui, now Guorui naturally wants to give father-in-law a chance to make a comeback."

Coming back from the mountain, Guo Zixing recalled how he had been defeated because of his own will, and could not help lowering his eyes in fear. He just laughed and didn't say anything more about it.

Looking at Guo Zixing's expression, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief.

In the following time, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Guo Zixing enough face, showing no love for power, and made Guo Zixing the nominal power holder in Chuzhou.

Having experienced such a big failure before, Guo Zixing, who has not yet come out of the failure, also rarely feels two points of stability, so he has more energy to remember and settle the complicated emotions in his heart.

After Guo Zixing failed in the internal struggle, he didn't have many cronies around him anymore, and the others saw that their lord had been indulging in the past, and they didn't realize that the current situation was not as optimistic as he thought.

And Zhu Yuanzhang managed Chuzhou in an orderly manner, and everyone's following him showed his extraordinaryness.

I am also extremely talented in military affairs. Although I am a little inferior in knowledge, I am still studying diligently.

There is no need to say more about who to choose between the two, so everyone also tacitly pretended to have discovered nothing, and continued to integrate into a new environment.

As for Mrs. Zhang and others, they didn't have so many ideas at all. After finding out that they could still enjoy the glory and wealth of the past, they continued to enjoy it with confidence.

Of course, when facing Ma Xiuxiu, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help being a little more complicated, especially what Ma Xiuxiu did now, all showed Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in her.

This made Zhang's mood even more complicated. Looking at her beautiful daughter, she couldn't help but sighed and said: "My son has suffered, and now your father has suddenly lost power. I'm afraid my son will lose power in the future. I can't find a good husband's house."

Zhang's daughter Guo could not help but sigh with depression when she heard her mother's words. After all, her marriage depends more on the energy of her father and brother, so as to determine the class she can choose.

Thinking of Ma Xiuxiu, who studied with me before, but always gave way to me, took care of me, and didn't dare to surpass her, now she looks like she is in power and no one dares to neglect her.

Guo Shi couldn't help feeling more bitter and jealous. She bit her lower lip and said helplessly, "With my current status, how can I find someone I like?"

The two points of resentment in Guo Shi's words were also heard by Zhang Shi. She looked at her daughter's raised and delicate face, and now she was tired because of all the running around. state.

When I saw Guo Zixing that night, I couldn't help but said: "Our daughter is not young now, we can't let her continue to waste time, Xiuxiu is our adopted daughter, and she is married to Guo Rui. people.

Can our daughter be worse than her? "

For a long time, Guo Zixing, who had been a little depressed because of his own defeat, couldn't help frowning in annoyance when he heard Zhang's old saying again.

But thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang, he finally fell silent, thinking that he could now have a place to settle down, Guo Zixing couldn't help but want to tie Zhu Yuanzhang even tighter.

Since ancient times, in-law relationship has been the fastest way to form an alliance. Although Ma Xiuxiu has been adopted as a foster daughter by him, it is really not an insurance policy!

Guo Zixing thought this way and directly ordered: "Prepare to give your daughter to Guorui."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was about to explode. In the past, she really loved Ma Xiuxiu, and Guo Zixing also loved Ma Xiuxiu, so she would naturally act according to Guo Zixing's attitude.

Second, Ma Xiuxiu has always been transparent and gentle, and never oversteps, which naturally made her a little more affectionate.

Poor love and liking, when you meet your own daughter, it is not worth mentioning. The person who used to be shorter than your daughter is now a regular wife, and your daughter is going to be a concubine.

This kind of insult to Mrs. Zhang is absolutely unbearable, she said furiously: "That is the only daughter of the concubine, and the concubine can never let her be a concubine."

Originally, because of his defeat, Guo Zixing was very unhappy, but now that Mrs. Zhang dared to disobey him, he said unhappily at the moment: "Then do whatever you want, you can keep her and promise to others, look at me now Now this appearance, who else can he promise to?

You also have to remember that you only have one girl. "

Hearing these words, Mrs. Zhang, who was in agony, suddenly withered. She sat on the side of the bed in a daze, shed tears, and finally had no choice but to nod.

After all, Guo Zixing's words are not pleasant, but it is also true that none of Guo Zixing's three sons were born by her, and the relationship between them is by no means close. Once something happens to Guo Zixing, their mother and daughter will have no place to stand.

After making up his mind, Guo Zixing also tentatively mentioned this to Zhu Yuanzhang the next day. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he shook his head immediately and said very directly: "This is absolutely impossible, Xiu Xiu, as my wife, has helped me a lot, how could I let others poke her heart?"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words that Ma Xiuxiu cared about, Guo Zixing was thankful and at ease, and did not continue to force anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang's refusal was partly because he had already rejected the marriage proposals of those aristocratic families before.

Now that he agreed to Guo Zixing, wouldn't that make him look ugly? You must know that although Guo Zixing was defeated, he still had some contacts and soldiers. If he agreed, who would not be able to see what he was thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who returned to the mansion, looked at Ma Xiuxiu, who was holding the child with a gentle smile on his mouth, and had to admit that he really had a lot of nostalgia for Ma Xiuxiu in his heart.

Therefore, he was also reluctant to make the other party sad, so thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang walked forward quickly, and hugged the child. When he looked at Ma Xiuxiu, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth naturally.

The slaves also knew how good the two masters were, so as soon as they saw the two walking together lovingly, the other servants quickly backed away.

Holding the child in his arms, Zhu Yuanzhang said softly: "All kinds of government affairs in Chuzhou have been summarized and summarized, and I will leave in three days."

Ma Xiuxiu, who was smiling at first, couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she heard this, and finally said with a bit of worry: "You have to be careful, remember that my child and I are waiting for you at home."

As soon as the word "home" is said, it is easy to make people feel warm. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the first picture he recalled in his mind was the scene of Ma Xiuxiu waiting for him by candlelight.

Even though he was still a little tired, when he saw the other party sitting by the candlelight, waiting for his return, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had any worries and fatigue.

I just feel warm from the inside out, and my heart is like drinking honey, sweet and bubbling.

Thinking of such a warm scene, the smile on the corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth became more and more gentle, and the original thought that he had acted a little too much also quietly dissipated.

He nodded solemnly, and said with a two-point promise: "Don't worry, I will protect myself, and now I have a power anyway, and I don't need to go to the front to fight in person."

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's clumsy comforting words, Ma Xiuxiu nodded with more gentle eyes.

The originally clear and translucent eyes showed such strong emotions, and they also looked extremely clean and pure, being watched by such a pair of eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if his whole body was soaked in warm water, which was comfortable and warm, and he couldn't help smiling at Ma Xiuxiu even more gently.

Under the sun, the two looked at each other, smiling extremely softly, and the child looked at it for no reason, everything seemed so warm.
