Ma Sanbao did not refuse Shang Hao's initiative to show his favor. He also wanted to win over Shang Hao's power earlier. Although Shang Hao was demoted to the first place, he was still a second-rank official. The status of the second-rank official is several levels higher than his ninth-rank official, and the interpersonal relationships behind him are still very broad. After all, Shang Hao is an official who started from scratch. He got up early and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to make various military achievements before he took his current position.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were officials who could sit in a high position like Shang Hao without being corrupt, but Shang Hao was at least the position of former prime minister and lived such a simple life, which made Ma Sanbao respect this honest official who served the country and the people.

"Wenhe, I think you are a talented person, and there is no gift to you. You are still young. Let's do this, I will help you decide on a marriage. What do you think?" Shang Hao's words made Ma Sanbao choke in tea. He kept coughing to relieve the embarrassing situation at this moment. He could not have thought that one day he would even be arranged by others in his marriage. In his worldview, the so-called love is just a natural love affair. He never thought that the marriage would require others to arrange it.

"This, I'm still young. I think it's too hasty to arrange marriage for me so early?" Ma Sanbao frowned. Although he had never been in a relationship, his body was only eight or nine years old. It was too early to ask him to arrange marriage for marriage at this age.

"It's getting late, you don't know. Many neighbors get married at the age of twelve. You only have a few years. The little girl is still young, but she is more than ten years old. I can ask her to wait for you for a while. When you grow up, you will get married. How about it?" Shang Hao spoke. He had a daughter under his knee, which was similar to Ma Sanbao. There was only one year difference between them. But who is Ma Sanbao? Although he is only eight years old, he has a soul of thirty years old. When he heard that the girl Shang Hao introduced him to was still young, he was a little difficult to adapt. Although he had flirted with Qiaoer, who was about the same age in the industrial park, it was also a joke.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, there was the most famous marriage event during the Three Kingdoms period, which was the marriage between Sun Quan's sister and Liu Bei. In the era of his previous life, there was also a form of commercial marriage, but he really couldn't accept the young child bride. If this was a novel, the plot arranged on Ma Sanbao would be that there was a daughter next door growing up.

Shang Hao's kindness Ma Sanbao didn't know how to refuse. He was able to think of countless methods and was speechless in the marriage. What else can he do? He had never seen such a scene in his past or in this life, and there was no marriage between Zheng He and the daughter of the former prime minister in history.

"Prime Minister, it's not that I want to refuse. I haven't seen your daughter yet. Love and marriage still requires love. Is this kind of marriage a little inappropriate? Is it a bit too hasty for your daughter?" Ma Sanbao thought about it and decided to reject Shang Hao in person. He was afraid of letting down a girl. In the Ming Dynasty, he had a little more silver coins, and only the fourth prince was the fourth prince. Maybe one day the fourth prince's backer would be unreliable. His roots were not solid enough and it would take a certain amount of time to continue growing. Shang Hao sent a daughter to be his wife. If something went wrong in his future life, wouldn't it be useless?

Ma Sanbao thought about his future, but Shang Hao did not have so many concerns. In his eyes, Ma Sanbao must have a bright future. For Shang Hao, this is also an investment. Ma Sanbao is currently the largest potential stock in the entire Nanjing city. The young masters of other families may not have the potential of Ma Sanbao, and behind it is the backer of the Fourth Prince. Obviously, Ma Sanbao has a greater temptation to Shang Hao than others.

"I'm not at home today. When I wait for the next day, I will let my daughter visit you. That's all we have to say." Shang Hao picked up the teapot and added tea to Ma Sanbao's tea cup. He was extremely enthusiastic and seemed to really regard Ma Sanbao as his cheap son-in-law. The former Censor Zhongcheng was extremely optimistic about him, which made Ma Sanbao feel a little amused. If he hadn't had a task, he would have wanted to escape.

"I must call Zhu Di next time. I'll come alone, and I can't stop the scene at all! Why is Shang Hao so good to me? I can see that he is not the kind of male favorite. He also likes me, but he is a little too enthusiastic, right?" Ma Sanbao thought in his heart. He also understood why he became a popular guy. After all, he was an important member of the court to investigate Hu Weiyong's rebellious party. Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely optimistic about him. Shang Hao, who started from scratch, naturally had to establish a good relationship with him.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely awkward, because Ma Sanbao's words meant to refuse, Shang Hao was quite resentful. He was at least the position of former prime minister, and his daughter wanted to marry Ma Sanbao and was rejected by Ma Sanbao. He felt that Ma Sanbao was a little disliked. After all, no father hoped that his daughter was not worthy of others, and Shang Hao was even more so. He also had the arrogance of being the former prime minister. Although he valued it, the other party obviously looked down on his daughter, which made him feel unhappy.

"I heard that Wen and you like writing poetry and writing. I have a lot of books here. If you like, just take away whatever you like." Shang Hao's most attractive thing about Ma Sanbao was not the marriage, but the collection of books in his mouth. Although he didn't know what Shang Hao had, it aroused the bookworm in Ma Sanbao's heart. He liked reading books in his past and present life, otherwise he would not have had many insights into the history of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he heard that there were books, he immediately threw the embarrassment of his previous marriage behind him.

Under Shang Hao's guidance, Ma Sanbao came to Shang Hao's usual study room. The study room can be said to be the most spacious room in Shang Hao's mansion. Shang Hao's study room was filled with hundreds of classics, and the dazzling array of bookshelfs made Ma Sanbao confused. He didn't know how to start for a moment. Whether it was the poetry collections of the previous dynasty, military books or miscellaneous books, it was all available on Shang Hao's bookshelf, and even the books about arms production were on Shang Hao's bookshelf.

"So many books? It seems that the Prime Minister still likes reading and reading." Ma Sanbao looked envious. In his previous life, there were not so many books. If these books were preserved in his era, each of them would be genuine antiques, and their value would make Ma Sanbao a billionaire in his previous life.

"You'd better stop calling me Prime Minister. I'm not that old. Speaking of which, my collection of books is in the entire Nanjing city. I say second, maybe only Your Majesty dares to say first." Shang Hao smiled and was quite proud. His collection of books can be said to be the most numerous than the imperial palace in the Ming Dynasty. Even the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites may not have as many books as Shang Hao. He has extensive knowledge and basically all aspects of books are involved.

At present, there are countless books, and Ma Sanbao has no idea how to start. The current collection of books is much more than Zhu Di's collection. Zhu Di only has some poetry and military books, while Shang Hao's collection is really outrageous.

"Well? There was a history of navigation during the Yuan Dynasty?" Suddenly, a book attracted Ma Sanbao. This was a book about the Western Regions and navigation. In Ma Sanbao's previous life, the historical records of the Yuan Dynasty were not as rich as those of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Yuan Dynasty was just a dynasty that only existed for a hundred years. He was even more unaware of the history of navigation in the Yuan Dynasty. Seeing that there was a book about the history of navigation in the Yuan Dynasty, it immediately aroused Ma Sanbao's interest.

Out of his yearning for the sea, he missed his days on the deck. Looking at this book, he could give himself some psychological comfort. After all, he would have to spend several years with Zhu Di. He didn't know if the next time he went to sea was the Year of the Monkey, Horse Month.

When Shang Hao saw Ma Sanbao pick up the most inconspicuous book, he even wanted to persuade Ma Sanbao to change it. He didn't like this book at all. The so-called navigation was not that tempting for Shang Hao. However, seeing Ma Sanbao's excited expression, Shang Hao said he wanted to say something but stopped.

The description of sailing in the Yuan Dynasty was held in Ma Sanbao's arms. This book was a very thin book compared to other books, but he was still curious about how the people of the previous dynasty sailed. After all, in this dynasty, there was not as many advanced technology as he had before. When sailing in danger, he wanted to know how the people of the Yuan Dynasty responded. His body was Zheng He and he had to go to the West in the future. If he didn't know how to deal with it, how could he go to the West?

With just one book, Ma Sanbao naturally would not be so easily satisfied. He walked to another corner of the room and planned to carefully search for some of the collections of Shang Hao that deserved his attention.

"Ouch!" In a corner of the bookshelf, Ma Sanbao was holding the book and accidentally kicked a soft object. He looked closely and saw a little girl squatting in the corner of the bookshelf and looking out.

"Shh, don't make a sound." The little girl looked up and stared at him with her eyes as black gems. Although the girl was young, she was a perfect beauty. "Don't let my father discover it. I don't want to go to a private school today, so I sneaked away."

After hearing the girl's words, Ma Sanbao reached out to touch the back of his head. The girl in front of him looked very beautiful. Even Qiaoer was inferior to this little girl. Perhaps only Yaoxian could compare with the little girl's appearance. For a moment, Ma Sanbao, who thought he was a gentleman, could not forget the girl's appearance.

"Is the Prime Minister your father?" Ma Sanbao whispered. The girl in front of him was so beautiful that he couldn't help but want to chat with the girl.

"No, my father is the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Go quickly and don't let the Prime Minister discover it." The girl blinked her big eyes and said anxiously to Ma Sanbao. Seeing Shang Hao coming to the bookshelf, the girl hurriedly got under the table not far away.

"Okay, I'm leaving." Ma Sanbao said in a low voice, holding the book and walking to the other side of the bookshelf angrily. He wanted to see what books there attracted him there, but he still agreed to the girl's request and prevent Shang Hao from discovering the girl's traces.
