Walking out of the noon gate, the snow in the sky is already much smaller, sparsely falling, the clouds can no longer cover the sun, the pale yellow is pure white, seeing that this rare heavy snow for decades has been at the end of the crossbow, Xu Hao is not happy, there are too many natural disasters in this year.

On both sides of the straight and wide main street, there were people in every house clearing the snow and clearing the road, and when they saw him riding on a horse and being hugged by the front and back, people lost their guys and bowed their heads.

Xu Hao greeted with a smile, and the faces of the people were full of smiles, although the emperor's illness affected everyone, but the prince was a promising young man, respecting and caring for the people, and there was no crisis of Kowloon seizing the heir, it can be seen that the rich and peaceful life will continue as always.

During the Chinese New Year, Jinling is very lively, the streets are really full of traffic, jewelry shops, antique shops, ready-to-wear shops, fat powder shops, jade shops, silk shops, seafood and fresh fish shops, grocery stores, study shops, paper shops, pharmacies, pulp shops, tea houses and wine shops, etc., all of which are overcrowded.

The exquisite shops are lined up one after another, and the energetic cries of selling come and go. For Xu Hao, there is no more satisfying time.

When I got home, I walked into Qianshoutang, and saw a group of old ladies chatting around the old lady, Xu Hao walked to his wife and sat down, and Yuelan brought over a cup of hot tea.

"Ancestors, as the old saying goes, friends with wine and food, chai and rice husbands and wives, and men who are husbands can't seal their wives and cute children, that is, their husbands are ashamed. It's a pity that the men of our family had no eyes, and they couldn't go to Peking with them, and followed the third master to serve the first emperor as a dog and horse, and I still feel aggrieved when I think about it! Not to mention that even the word 'chai rice' is not comprehensive now. Makes his wife and children hungry and cold, you keep talking about such a husband, how can you blame your wife for complaining? An old lady sighed.

The old lady said: "Don't take it to heart, a husband makes his wife complain all day long, although he is not a useful man, but a wife who complains all day long is not a useful wife." ”

Xu Hao immediately whispered to his wife: "In the end, my grandmother can see it thoroughly, I am most fortunate to marry a good lady and never nag." ”

"Really?" Mu Ningxue doesn't believe her husband's nonsense, is she still a woman if she doesn't nag? It's just a matter of means.

The old lady seems to have long been tired of the annual grievance conference. In the past, I pitied their suffering, and I inevitably gave all kinds of good things while sympathizing, but today I said bitterly: "According to the old body, if it is a useless daughter-in-law, you should not complain about your husband, and if it is a useful daughter-in-law, you should not complain about your husband." Take daily livelihood as an example, although women can't do other livelihoods, but which one of those mulberry silkworm weaving, yarn embroidery, raising chickens and feeding ducks can't do? Think of the women of old. married to a husband who was an official and an official, and there was still a textile voice at home and abroad, so he blindly refused to work hard, and waited for her husband's meal with her mouth wide open all day long. Waiting for her husband's clothes to be worn naked, she roared like a lion and made a lot of noise, and she really didn't know what to say about them. ”

The reactions of a group of old ladies were immediately different. The faces of some people were bright, and it was obvious that they were right.

At this time, Zhu Qiaoqiao said: "It's still the ancestor Shengming, and the Liuxi around me used to be so lazy and lazy. scolded her husband for being a waste when she was a little unsatisfactory, and her husband couldn't stand it and simply wanted to sell her to others. Liuxi also couldn't wait for it, because he was worried that the next husband would not be able to eat and dress well, so he said that I wanted to choose a son-in-law for my own family, and chose a strong man from the north. ”

"Oh, anything like that?" The old ladies were all interested and asked, "What happened later?" Ask grandma to speak quickly. ”

"Later?" Zhu Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Liuxi was handed over to the official media for sale, and there were many women at the same time, and many people went to see it, and it happened that one of them was Liuxi's ex-husband, who planned to buy a wife who was willing to endure hardships, and when he found out about Liuxi, he was embarrassed and turned around and was about to leave."

Liuxi grabbed him, cried and knelt in front of his ex-husband, begging him not to forget the old love, so that he could redeem me and go back. Her ex-husband ignored her, and she begged bitterly. But those big families and guest businessmen have plenty of food and clothing, fur and satin, seeing that their ex-husband is not redeemed, Liuxi is outstanding and my girl is from my background, which one doesn't want to buy her? Who knew that Liuxi was so hard-hearted, he put a good life away, but he didn't obey the death, and he wanted to follow his ex-husband home alive or dead. ”

The big guys were surprised, it's true that a good girl doesn't marry a second husband, but since Liuxi has broken the vows, she doesn't care about the three husbands and four husbands, it is less than a year, and her husband will never become a rich man, so why follow him back? It's incomprehensible.

Xu Hao also felt strange and said to his wife: "Did my sister-in-law say something to Liuxi?" ”

Mu Ningxue shook her head and said, "You don't know her temperament?" agreed to Liuxi to marry, but Liuxi regretted it, didn't she slap her in the face? complains that her vision is not accurate, how can her sister-in-law care about her anymore? ”

"yes, weird." Xu Hao nodded.

saw Zhu Qiaoqiao continue: "The official media asked Liuxi what was the reason? Liuxi said that he was wrong at the beginning, and he just wanted to be dressed and eaten well, and someone to serve him, but he married a bad man regardless of his origin, so he has today. Now how do these people know if they are evildoers? It's better to follow her ex-husband, although the family is poor, she can still get by, her husband is a good person, he knows pain and heat, and he has hands and feet, so he doesn't want to start new, he just wants to revert to the old.

The ex-husband saw that she was pitiful, so he relented and paid the money to take her home, at that time everyone said that he was crazy, and he didn't want Liuxi to change his temperament, he was very lazy before, but now he is extremely diligent; used to be extravagant, but now frugal; It used to be very spicy, but now it is very gentle. Illustrious! I laughed at her for entering the robber's den, tasting the taste, helping her husband to start a family in the past two years, and the couple took care of a business for me, and the small life was prosperous. ”

"Oops." The old ladies were secretly amazed.

Someone said: "If she hadn't married a robber, she would have seemed to wear gold and silver, but she would have been frightened and frightened, so she knew the benefits of coarse tea and light food, and she couldn't starve to death if she didn't have enough to eat, and she didn't have the crime of killing her head in her life." It's really time to kill the head, and I can't get it because of hunger and cold. Those women who are lazy and complain about their husbands, but pity that they have never married robbers, and would rather suffer from hunger and cold than do evil deeds, and are not burdened by abundant food and clothing. ”

The old ladies laughed. Xu Hao also smiled and said: "It's over, as the saying goes, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the wife of a small family is hardworking and thrifty, and it's okay to run a small family." In such a big family, in addition to the husband, there are concubines and children, and the maid's family all have to dress and eat, such a big family, if the husband has no interest, I am afraid that no matter how clever the wife is, I have to complain about the husband from time to time. ”

Xu Hao is a fair speech. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, poor couples mourn everything, and rich couples will not quarrel? It's the same as the troubles of someone's family.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiaoqiao sneered and said: "Come to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade again, a man with the ability can naturally earn money without his wife complaining; And the man who has no ability, even if he curses sooner or later, he can't scold his food and clothing, and he hurts the relationship between the couple in vain. Anyway, I, Zhu Qiaoqiao, would never complain, I would rather rack my brains myself. begged grandpa to tell grandma not to eat for a month, and to come up with a plan to cook that rice-free meal. If the cooking is cooked, I am a good woman. If you don't cook well, at least be a good woman. ”

In the flattery of a group of women, Xu Hao smiled and did not refute, how could it be so easy to say in his heart? Who didn't go back to the time of the word. Of course, no matter how bad your luck is, you can't stay at home for a long time, as long as you are not sick, who makes you a man.

Suddenly. Xu Hao felt that the atmosphere in the room had become very strange, these elders all looked at the old lady, and one of them said: "When it comes to smart women, who can compare to the old lady?" ”

It turned out that Xu Hao's cheap grandfather, who died early, was also the young master of the scholarly family before his death, and his parents were in Japan, and the family also had a family property of two or three thousand gold. Later, Fengyang was in trouble for many years, and this grandfather gave all his family property to his brother Xu Da to recruit troops.

Lao Taijun is also the daughter of the Jiang family, and after marrying her husband and children, she learned that her family's savings had long been gone, and even the bride money and the wine money for marriage were all made up by Xu Da's brothers.

At that time, Lao Taijun was caught off guard for a while, and she was very worried, how should she feed her family and Xu Da's old and young? Dozens of people, unless they are immortals who turn stones into rice, they can only wait to be killed.

At that time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's most difficult period, and he couldn't count on it, but fortunately, the Xu family was covered, and no one from near or far dared to bully him.

I can't say that the old lady summoned everyone and explained that he would live as frugally as possible in the future, but who knew that the maid had no smile on his face, as if the official had met a Qing official and knew that there was no benefit.

The old lady looked at the account book overnight, and every time he won a battle, his brother Xu Da would send back a large amount of gold, silver and grain, where did the money and grain go?

From then on, she divided her heart into two parts, one to monitor the servants and maids, and the other to check the men. For example, in the morning, when she observed that the women had beaten rice and went out, they did not wash it immediately, but they delayed by the well, and the old lady deliberately walked away.

Hiding in the distance to watch what they were doing, I gradually found that someone was carrying a few bowls of rice, and when people were unprepared, they poured it into the corner of the wall, and then came back to get the rice and put it in the pot.

There is a small warehouse in the wall, which can accommodate a few stones of rice, which is secretly dug by several decent women and maids, and whichever one is in charge of the grain, which one will pour rice into it, because the Xu family is in charge of people who have no use, and the grain is stolen unconsciously.

The old lady opened his eyes and sighed: "I don't want a small hole in the wall to leak a piece of belongings." It's no wonder that the brothers often say that their subordinates are terrifying, which is terrifying, and it is true. ”

However, the old lady did not expose the matter, and actually kept this small warehouse for taking it out when he saved his life.

In addition, there is a large vegetable garden behind the kitchen of the Xu family, and the man in charge of planting vegetables is obviously very lazy on weekdays, and he doesn't do any work, but when he grows vegetables, he suddenly becomes diligent, because he is worried that he will be robbed of errands by more diligent people, not only hide the hoe every day, but also don't eat food, first go to the vegetable garden to inspect it, and see other people's footprints on the ground, and immediately inquire to the end.

The old lady who was secretly observing didn't say anything, but thought in his heart: "His spiritual lifelines are all gathered in one place, it can be seen that except for the vegetable garden, there is no second thing on his mind, and he knows that there are stolen things hidden under the ground." is in line with the two sentences of the ancient saying, the master and the servant are concentric, and the loess turns into gold. ”

Every plant and tree of the Xu family belongs to the owner, just like the private factory companies in later generations, everything is a legal person.

In this way, the old lady remembered everything he had observed, and the family property was unconsciously leaked little by little, and was lost by his subordinates little by little.
