Chapter 104: The county lord marries

Just as Xu Hao was busy running forward and backward, the guards soon came with the exact news, Mu Ang really hooked up with a prostitute, even if he didn't discriminate against the Lehu family, but how old are you Mu Ang? Just run to play with women? It really doesn't make sense.

Fortunately, the prostitute named Sister Hua Si was recently taken care of by a businessman and was not at home for many days. Mu Ang was so troubled that he scratched his heart and liver every day, and ran to people's homes several times a day to ask when Fourth Sister Hua would return home, and he didn't know how much money was taken advantage of by the old bustard.

Xu Hao didn't have time to deal with this matter for the time being, so he immediately ordered the guards to take a hundred taels of silver and continue to wrap up Fourth Sister Hua for a month, find a place to settle down casually, and let Mu Ang calm down first.

"Fourth Sister Hua, why does this name sound so familiar." Xu Hao muttered to himself, and went to do things after finishing speaking, if Xu Wen was by his side, I am afraid that he would proudly tell him that the third sister of the fourth sister Hua is the good friend of the elder brother, and the first night of the fourth sister is Brother Lao, I have worked hard all night.

Today, Xu Hao was ordered to go to the palace of the king of Qin again, and asked the king of Qin himself if he would enter Beijing in time, and Zhu Shangbing told his father that there was something happening in the fiefdom and that he would not come, and that he could replace his father. After Xu Hao came out, he went to the Zongren Mansion and asked if there were many guests from the royal family at the wedding? What to look out for.

The official told the royal family that the family affairs were different from the common people, and the saint was worried that the marriage would overwhelm the in-laws, so the royal family was not allowed to go to the in-laws' house, so your family did not need to prepare anything, just let it be.

Xu Haoxin said that you are not talking nonsense, isn't it? I just said it at this juncture, why didn't I say it earlier? How much money would you have saved otherwise? Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang still hopes to marry his granddaughter in a beautiful way, and my family doesn't seem to be short of money, so who will go if you don't toss hard?

your grandma, I don't even ask carefully, anyway, if there is something wrong, I will say that it is all from the meaning of the saint, let it be!

Xu Hao walked out of the Zongren Mansion in a huff, the sun was hot and he was on the road all morning, which made him already sweat profusely, reached out to take the gourd handed over by Li Qiu, raised his head and gulped water.

Li Qiu took the opportunity to smile and said: "I just received good news, and the red list tag near Gyeonggi has come down. Not only the young master and the son of the Mu family are on the list, but the second young master also successfully won the show. Among them, the young master of the Mu family is still the sixth in high school, and the young master, you are the fifty-fourth. ”

Xu Hao was very happy after hearing this, and he was able to achieve a good result of 54 places, which was not in vain for his hard work in the past year. In fact, without the great help of Zhou Peng and other mentors and friends, I am afraid that I would not even be able to pass the five hundred and forty exams.

Hurriedly asked Zhou Peng and others about their results, but they didn't expect that all their wishes came true, all five of them were selected, and even Feng Quan was admitted to Xiucai, Xu Hao called it incredible, he was too lucky.

Who knew that he was inadvertently heard by an official of the Zongren Mansion, and asked lightly: "I am very lucky, that official asked you, where are your friends from?" ”

Xu Hao didn't understand what it meant, and said, "It seems that except for a friend, everyone else lives in the north." ”

The official suddenly chuckled and said, "Then you are too happy, you just wait for the next imperial examination to see if you are still so lucky." ”

Xu Hao asked, "Can you make your words clearer?" ”

The official said: "There are some things that are not secrets, and they will not inquire about it themselves? With that, he went away.

Xu Hao was a little confused, thinking about finding someone who understands, and after thinking about it, he didn't know who to find, and he wanted to go to the sixth department to inquire, but he was afraid of causing some trouble.

Fortunately, there are still three years to go, enough to inquire slowly, with this question, Xu Hao set off to rush home.

That night, relatives began to come into the house one after another, and even some distant relatives rushed all the way to their hometowns and sent all kinds of gifts, making the family's treasury insufficient, and they had to temporarily vacate a few rooms. Fortunately, the Xu family has made sufficient preparations in advance for this, although there are many relatives, and after a lot of busy tossing, they have basically arranged a place to live.

The palace and the Dingyuan Marquis Wang's family were all personally sent by the eldest grandson to send a generous gift, and Zhu Gaochi also sent three thousand taels of silver from Zhu Gaochi's mansion. The weasel greeting the New Year was purely uneasy and kind, watching Zhu Gaochi smile and be welcomed into the garden, standing side by side with the eldest sister, Xu Hao was full of evil fire in his belly.

Early in the morning, all the children of the Xu family's direct line gathered together in dresses. After worshipping the ancestors in the ancestral hall, they set off a firecracker, and then surrounded Xu Wen in a red groom suit, like a monkey to let others watch, riding a pure white horse wearing a big red silk flower, with a dragon and phoenix sedan chair carried by eight people, the gongs and drums in front of the gongs and drums sounded, and the rear was blown and sang, so lively and lively to rush to the capital.

People from the villages near and far came to see the excitement, but Xu Hao, who was the biggest hero, stayed at home, and he knew the whole details of the process well, so he didn't want to follow him at all.

According to the characteristics of his family in the countryside, Xu Hao deliberately set up more than a dozen flower sheds outside the gate, hired dozens of cooks to cook dishes in full swing, and set up 300 tables of banquets outside for the whole family of the neighboring towns to come and eat the flowing water banquet, planning to last for three full days before finishing the work.

All the expenses were paid by him out of his own pocket, and he didn't spend a total of 2,000 taels of silver, and in the past few days, he sold another shop at a high price of 15,000 taels through an intermediary, which was very sassy.

The old lady and Mrs. Wang had nothing to say about this, after all, this was a good thing, and Xu Hao didn't mean anything else, just to let the villagers have fun.

There were also 200 tables of banquets at home for relatives and friends, and Xu Hao originally planned to give out the money together, but was stopped by Xiao.

I don't want his whim to move into the palace quickly, and the result of twists and turns was inadvertently known by Zhu Yuanzhang, which also led to one thing, of course, this is not a word for the time being.

Xu Hao smiled and watched the people in the village come over with their families, and everyone secretly brought pots and pans and other things, probably planning to take the remaining meat and vegetables home after eating.

In view of this, he instructed the second housekeeper Father Li: "Slaughter as many pigs and sheep as you want, it's not enough to find a way, anyway, let the villagers eat and drink well, take as much as you want, and manage enough." ”

Father Li felt pain in his flesh, and said in his heart, Brother Hao, you are a loser, but he said with a smile on his face that he knew. When he turned around, he gave instructions to the people below, in addition to the eighteen bowls of dishes that were predetermined in advance, only two more meat dishes were allowed, and if there was an idler who shouted that he couldn't eat, let him come again tomorrow, if not, he would continue later, and I didn't believe that he couldn't die.

Xu Hao didn't know anything about this, looking at the crowd of people who were swarming and jubilant, he felt a sense of satisfaction, and said in his heart that this was called a prosperous life.

Suddenly, I saw Li Qiu running out of the house, and shouted excitedly: "Young master, young master, Mrs. Mu family came to congratulate the two girls, people have been introduced into the inner house through the back door, and you should see the old lady at this moment." ”

"Really?" Xu Hao was overjoyed, but he didn't move steadily, he felt that if he ran in in a hurry, he wouldn't say that it would make his relatives laugh, and he wouldn't even be able to get off the stage with Ning Xue.

Therefore, Xu Hao immediately frowned, and said in a dignified manner: "Don't call, it's a good thing that people can come, it is out of respect for our family, those who come are guests, and everyone who has to be noisy knows it?" No courtesy. ”

"Okay, I won't say anything." Li Qiu made a grimace at Xu Hao, and said in his heart, young master, you just pretend, who doesn't know your little thoughts? It's hypocritical.

When facing the lively and festive situation in person, Xu Hao couldn't help but think about it, thinking about when he could run a warm little home with Ning Xue, how good would it be? I even want to run my own small village into a rich and civilized one.

But when I think of the catastrophe of two hundred years and even in modern times, Xu Hao has become boring, it seems that he still can't just take care of his own small family, he still has to find an opportunity to do something, even if it is in vain in the end, at least he has done his best.

He pondered and waited, the feast could not begin until after worshipping heaven and earth, and at the moment it was just some snacks and sweets. Still, the rich smell of meat wafting from the fire was enough to make people salivate.

Xu Hao was too lazy to guess what grand scene the team entering Beijing would see, and he was annoyed by the Qin Palace. It's nothing more than meeting a large group of royal family and royal relatives one by one, the mother's family is only determined to give the mother-in-law's family a dismount, Xu Wen and others must worship like a turtle grandson, don't kneel, don't kneel, let alone kneel, this is not the end, and you have to encounter a series of difficulties.

And Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stop his family from running to join in the fun, but in the end, these Zhu family's self-held identities would not follow, otherwise they would have a headache.

Moreover, Xu Wen's trip is destined to be a formality, and it is impossible to personally carry the county lord back in a sedan chair due to the limitation of his identity, which is called marrying a daughter-in-law. And Zhu Qiaoqiao is married to you Xu Wen, and he has a set of etiquette rules of the royal family.

Even so, Xu Wen can be content, there are many concubines who are more pitiful than him, no wonder people with a little talent in ancient times didn't want to be a concubine, it really hurt a man's self-esteem too much.

Xu Hao thought about it for a long time, and finally hit the news in the capital, Xu Wen and the others finally suffered layers of difficulties and teasing, and after offering countless red envelopes with both hands, they didn't even see the people of the county lord, so they were beaten back home by the original team.

At this time, in the inner house, Mrs. Xuxian and Mrs. Mu of Xu Da in the house sat side by side, and in the middle sat in high spirits, the old lady in a big red auspicious suit, and the eldest lady Wang who was standing next to her, was in the same spirit, her whole body was full of jewelry, and the whole person was dressed up in red and bright clothes, and she was talking to a room full of women with a smile.

Because there are too many female relatives of relatives and friends, and their identities are uneven, from super ladies like Mrs. Mu to official wives to village girls in the countryside, even if the old lady doesn't pay attention to this, she still diverts some of the guests out, and the other two daughters-in-law accompany the relatives who are familiar with each other to eat tea and talk.

The young ladies were all invited to the garden, and in August the weather was hot, and the scenery was the best, so they did not have to stay in the house, and they were free to walk and play in the garden, and the garden was guarded by a special person, so that they did not have to worry about bumping into strange men because of the chaos of today.

As for a wild man like Zhu Gaochi, well, it is estimated that all the female dependents are eager to have a few more, even if they force their own daughters, it is because the ancestors have burned high incense, and it is too late to be happy.

When Zhu Gaochi came over at that time, Xu Hao couldn't help but say with disdain: "Oh, you are here to be a mother-in-law?" Unusual. ”

Zhu Gaochi estimated that he had been with Xu Hao for too long, and he had learned a lot of new words, so he replied coquettishly: "No way, there are not too many mother's families over there, in short, there is no more than me, and there is no less than me." ”
