In the spotless Buddhist hall, Xu Hao knelt on the cushion, enshrined the statue of Nanmu Bodhisattva, while his aunt Shangguan sat tightly on his side.

When Uncle Xu Hao was alive, the little aunt was arrogant and domineering, and she never left a trace of affection when she spoke harshly, but she admired the eldest sister Xiao, but she couldn't look down on her brother-in-law Xu Qingtang, and she would speak out every time she met.

No one looks down on the juniors in the family, and he also loves Xu Hao's nephew alone, firstly, he loves the house and Wu Erlai without any entanglement of interests, because Shangguan's family has not given birth to a son and a half daughter for many years, and he is afraid that his concubine will not be filial in the future, and loving Xu Hao is equivalent to having more guarantees in the future.

The three concubines in the house, among them, Fan's belly from Qinglou has a son Xiao Rong and daughter Xiao Yuwei, all of whom are not more than ten years old.

Although the child calls her mother, and the status of the wife is as stable as Mount Tai, but in the end, the Fan family is the biological mother, and in the future, when Xiao Rong grows up, she will naturally know who to face, Shangguan's family knows that there are too many people who have offended in the past, and after losing her husband, she mourns for a while more than she dies, and she has no heart to worry about the Fan family, so she is at peace for the time being.

Maternal grandmother Fang's hair is gray in her fifties, but her face is ruddy and her complexion is good, unlike Shangguan's loss of her husband for a year and she lost weight, if it weren't for her nephew, she would be like a walking corpse at home, and she would no longer have the flying spirit of the past.

Xu Hao respected his grandmother very much, and said his intentions respectfully, Fang's hand kept fiddling with the Buddha beads, and said with a smile: "Hao'er has a heart." ”

Xu Hao said: "Children are often entangled in everything, and they may leave the capital one day, and ask their grandmother to come forward to preside over the overall situation." ”

"Hmm!" Fang Shi didn't refuse, his expression was very pleased, "It's handled very well, it's hard to think about it at a young age." The old man with a thin face will convene the squire to come to discuss, Jinling has been in good weather for many years, and the grain has been full of barns, thinking that our family has more than 10,000 stones of millet alone. It is enough to support until autumn, and the people of the village will work together to protect the villagers. ”

Xu Hao put his mind at ease, because his mother often talked about her ability to pick up her grandmother, she couldn't even compare to half of her grandmother, and the fact is also true, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, all relying on her grandmother's dedication back then.

In terms of prestige, no one in the entire Xiaojia Village does not respect Mrs. Fang, and the old lady of the Xu family has to be slightly inferior in this regard. With my grandmother taking the lead, there is no doubt that everyone in the village will be convinced.

Xu Hao accompanied him and talked for a while, and Mrs. Fang suddenly sighed: "I have created sins in my last life, your uncle-in-law died of illness the year before last, and your aunt's family of orphans and widows want to come to Jinling to take refuge. There are many rights and wrongs in front of this widow's door, Hao'er, you must remember to honor your elders and always pay attention to your mother's side. Then the old body is relieved to die. ”

Xu Hao didn't notice that the eldest aunt Ma's face sank instantly, but he knew that now the Xiao family's feng shui was in turn, and his cousin Xiao Yi had become the pillar of the family. But she is as good at talking, and how can she give her aunt who came to her family to take refuge in her face with Ma's people?

For Aunt Xu Hao, who has heard her name for a long time, her aunt and aunt are equal to half a mother, and she hurriedly said: "My mother has already instructed her in a letter about this matter." I ordered the child to take my aunt's family to live at my house permanently. ”

Old Lady Fang glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law without a trace, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, since the eldest daughter is sensible, it is the best. The old man is really afraid that after death, everyone in the family will follow in the footsteps of the rain poems. In those years, she lived in the Buddhist hall and ignored foreign affairs so that her granddaughter was bullied, if she hadn't been discovered by her grandson in time and took Yushi away, how could she be worthy of her dead husband and eldest son?

Therefore, as soon as the third son died, the old lady immediately stepped forward to take over the power of the family, just because she didn't want Ma to bully the two daughters-in-law and children at will.

Mrs. Fang was so grateful to her grandson in her heart that she agreed to her grandson's request without saying a word today, and said with relief: "So good, her sisterhood must be happy in her heart, but poor your aunt has been married away for many years, and the old body can rest easy." ”

"It should." Xu Hao noticed a trace of envy on the faces of the two aunts this time, and frowned.

After saying goodbye, when he came to the little aunt's house, Shangguan said with a sad expression: "Uncle and aunt have always loved you, you must remember to come to visit me often." ”

"The child remembers." Xu Hao asked again: "Aren't you having a good time?" ”

Shangguan sighed: "Your uncle is gone, what's so good or bad, dragging this life to survive, if you have food, you can eat more, if you don't have food, you won't eat, if it weren't for your two cousins, I would have hanged myself and gone with your uncle." ”

At this time, Mei walked in alone, and said: "Aunt Hao'er, please do something, why don't you send someone to Hangzhou, although your cousin often writes to bring some gifts, but every time I send someone to visit, I come back and say that I can't see your cousin, either I am uncomfortable and inconvenient to see each other, or Shangxiang is not at home, you think this mother's family is here, how can your cousin not see it in person?" This is quite strange. ”

Xu Hao said thoughtfully: "Okay, I remember." ”

Seeing that the two aunts looked depressed and unhappy, Xu Hao felt sad and simply said: "After my aunt comes to the house, you two will go to my house to live together for a while, and now there are two people at home, my nephew and daughter-in-law, there is nothing inconvenient." “

The two aunts glanced at each other, and Mei said, "It's okay to go for a walk, the two of us live with your aunt, and we are not afraid of outsiders making irresponsible comments." ”

"No one dares to talk nonsense." Xu Hao sneered on his face, but sighed slightly in his heart, after all, he said what he wanted to say, he was a big step closer to the beast, no! It's like my sister-in-law, and I've long been a beast.

After lunch, Xu Hao said goodbye to the reluctant elders and came out, and saw the relatives of the Xiao family coming from the outer house, everyone was stammered, Xu Hao nodded with a cold face, and walked away without even saying a word, leaving the Xiao family who looked at each other all over the ground.

Riding a horse to the Forbidden City, when it came to the noon gate, snowflakes fell in the sky, Xu Hao took out his waist card and handed it to the brocade guard guarding the noon gate, who knew that the other party said with a calm face: "The suppression makes the adults have a life, except for the three princes, no one is allowed to enter the palace." ”

Xu Hao squinted his eyes and asked, "Which pacification envoy?" ”

Jinyi Wei kept a straight face and didn't speak, just when a general flag in his thirties came to the city tower, Xu Hao said loudly: "Lao Li, come here." ”

"Yo! It's Xu Ye, you're here. ”

Li Zongqi hurriedly ran out in small steps, pulled Xu Hao to the open space, and said in a low voice: "In the past few days, there has been a very unpleasant quarrel between your family and Ouyang Concubine. ”

Xu Hao said unhappily: "What's the matter with me?" Why don't you let people into the palace? ”

Li Zongqi shook his head and said: "This humble position is not clear, this is the will of the Holy Lord, and it has nothing to do with our Jinyiwei." ”

Xu Hao frowned and said, "Then you go to the Qianqing Palace to find Gonggong Li, and say that I want to meet the saint." ”

Li Zongqi said embarrassedly: "You better go to your family, if Ouyang knows that I help you pass the word at this pass, he will definitely send me home." ”

"Then who is my eldest brother and second brother on duty today?" Xu Hao asked.

Li Zongqi said: "Your second brother has been on duty for the past few days, but he went to the East Palace in the afternoon, Xu Ye can't help it, you wait slowly, I have to go back quickly, I was not seen by Ouyang Concubine." ”

Xu Hao slowly raised his head, just in time to see Ouyang Lun looking at him with his hands on his chest and a smile. Xu Hao sneered, immediately turned around and strode away from the noon gate, Ouyang Lun said disdainfully when he saw this: "Unless you ask Lao Tzu, don't think about entering the palace." ”

Suddenly, I heard the crisp and rapid sound of horses' hooves outside, and saw Xu Hao riding a white horse, flying with four hooves, rolling up snowflakes in the sky, and rushing towards the noon gate like a whirlwind.

Ouyang Lun shouted in shock: "Close the palace door quickly, quickly." ”

In the rumbling and dull sound, the well-trained Jinyi guard closed the noon door first, Xu Hao grabbed the reins and looked up and smiled: "If you don't open the door, Lao Tzu will sleep here tonight, and no one will want to go in." ”

Ouyang Lun leaned over angrily and scolded: "Xu Laosan, don't know what to do, you don't give me face today, and I won't give you face." ”

Xu Hao smiled and arched his hand: "Then I beg you to do it, open the door." ”

Ouyang Lun was speechless for a moment, and said with a long cry and laughter: "You have a kind, open the door." ”

The brocade guards below shook their heads helplessly, secretly scolded their bosses for having nothing to do, and hurriedly pushed the door of the Vermilion Palace open with a bang.

Xu Hao sneered at them: "The Holy Lord once gave me to ride a horse in the Forbidden City, if it weren't for the fact that you are all Jinyi Guards, I would have made you blood splash five steps today." After saying that, he rode in proudly.

Ouyang Lun's face turned green when he heard this, and he hurriedly ran down the gatehouse, caught up with Xu Hao desperately, and said with a smile on his face: "It's just a joke with you, don't take it seriously!" Is it okay for Brother Ruyixuan to set up wine for you to commit a crime at night? ”

Xu Hao raised his head and said, "You know that no one is allowed to stop me from entering the palace, but you still want to trick me." No, you have to find a saint to comment, otherwise you won't be able to swallow this breath. ”

"No, I'm wrong, can't I?" Ouyang Lun stood in front of him, bowing and pretending.

Xu Hao turned over and dismounted with a long laugh, and said, "It's pretty much the same, why did you have a dirty relationship with my Xu family?" ”

Ouyang Lun said indignantly: "Third brother, you said that I was a pacification envoy, why didn't your uncle listen to me?" Isn't it that the emperor's grandson promised him to pacify him, and hated me for blocking his promotion! Can you blame me? ”

I see, Xu Haoxin said Uncle is really confused, you are a thousand households just to check and balance me, now that I am gone, someone naturally has to check and balance you, if your father and son firmly control Jinyiwei, it is estimated that it will not be far from death.

There is no way to persuade this matter, Xu Hao is too lazy to talk in vain, anyway, the dog bites the dog.

"I can't take care of your business, I have something to go to see Bixia." Xu Hao was just about to stop and said with a smile: "You don't need to drink to make amends, my family is short of food, what do you say?" ”

Ouyang Lun said disdainfully: "What is it worth your Xu Sanye to speak, isn't it food?" Tomorrow as a brother, I will send you five thousand stones. (To be continued......)
