Chapter 60: Xuanqing
When he got up early in the morning, Xu Hao habitually wanted to wash his long hair, but the problem was that it was inconvenient to be in the Wang family. Men in this era often do not wash their hair once for ten days and a half months, and some even do not wash it for many years, saying that washing is harmful to the vitality, once the scalp is itchy, use the grate grate, needless to say that the grate out of lice or something, the mud and dandruff can even be according to the color and how much divination health geometry, the recent luck is good, many people attach great importance to this.
Generally, in addition to the family to help the grate, every few days to invite the shaver to come in, massage the pedicure grate and the whole one-stop service, this ancient industry belongs to the fifth in the lower nine streams.
Xu Hao didn't want to trouble his family, so after washing his face with cold water, he cleaned up his long annoying hair by himself, and at this time, someone stood outside the door and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Xu Hao straightened his bangs in front of his forehead in front of the blurred bronze mirror.
A little maid who didn't know pushed the door in, and said after saying a thousand blessings: "I've seen the son, the slave is called Xiaohong, and several ladies have invited the son into the inner house to meet." ”
Since it was the elders' orders, Xu Hao couldn't shirk and said, "Then you lead the way." ”
Passing through the courtyard like this, I met a lot of people on the way, and came to a courtyard in the inner house, and when I entered the main house, I saw a room full of women, and the smell of fat powder was overwhelming, Xu Hao had already adapted to this, so he stepped forward to give the old lady a salute first.
The old lady of the Wang family looked him up and down with a smile, and said with a smile: "This kid is really good." ”
Wang on the side said with a smile: "Our third child has changed a lot in the past year, not only is he sensible and considerate, but he is also thoughtful in doing things at a young age, and now he takes care of all foreign affairs at home." In the old lady, he is more and more favored, none of his sisters and sisters are not close to him, the most important thing is that he does not have the temperament of hooking up with three or four, and now the people below say that among their brothers, the third is the most stable. ”
What is this for? Xu Hao was stunned and secretly complained in his heart, as if the old lady looked at her grandson-in-law with a scrutinizing gaze, this is bad.
Sure enough, the old lady of the Wang family said with satisfaction: "Then it's decided, you see, if the three girls stand with him, they are really a couple." ”
The six ladies of the surrounding Wang family and a bunch of aunts, concubines, seven aunts and eight aunts suddenly said auspicious words, what a good couple is natural, a match made in heaven, boys and girls, etc., anyway, whatever sounds good, say anything.
To tell the truth, although Xu Hao is from the second room of the family, his father has no official position and no fame, he is just a white ding, but after all, he is the direct son of the Xu family of Wei Guogong, and Xu Da has only two brothers in this generation, so the four Xu Hao brothers are more noble than people with the same status in other families.
At this time, there was no opportunity for Xu Hao to speak against it, and it was not good to offend the entire Wang family in public because of the presence of the Wang family, but fortunately, this matter had to wait for grandma's nod, and there was a trace of room for refusal.
Behind the marble screen on one side of the room, through the bead curtain, Xu Cuitao smiled and asked her cousin Wang Xuanqing, who was handsome, "How is it?" Are you satisfied? ”
Wang Xuanqing, whose face was flushed, looked scared, turned around and slipped away without saying a word, Xu Cuitao giggled, "It seems that I like it very much, otherwise why would I run away so shyly?" ”
At this time, Xu Qinglian saw that there was no one left and right, and frowned: "Don't you know that Hao'er likes the county lord of the Mu family?" ”
Xu Cuitao pursed her lips when she heard this, and said: "That's all a shadowless thing, don't be delusional, the big brother in the house came to ask for marriage the year before last and was rejected by others, how can you say this?" How good is An Ansheng marrying my cousin home, which point is not as good as the third child? It's really my cousin who is wronged. ”
Hongye couldn't help but say: "Then don't worry about my brother, it's not that we are thinking about your Wang family, your family is willing to be happy with us." Hum! ”
Xu Cuitao glared at her and said, "Shut up, this is not our family, if this bastard's words are heard by others, carefully cause trouble." ”
Hongye knew that what the second sister said was right, so she immediately snorted and kept silent, while Xu Qinglian shook her head and said, "You don't know Hao'er's temperament, this matter will definitely be disturbed by him." ”
Xu Cuitao said disapprerovitically: "This marriage is not up to the third brother, alas! But if I can be the master, who wants to marry far away to the north to be a concubine? Compared to me, the third brother should be content. ”
Hongye looked at the second sister in disbelief, in the past, the second sister looked proud, and thought she was willing, she didn't know how many times she secretly slandered the second sister for being greedy and vain, and she was not a concubine for the prince of Qin, what was there to be proud of?
On the contrary, Xu Cuitao thought about it, sighed as if it was okay immediately, raised her hand and touched Hongye's smooth face, and said softly: "This adult's business will be known when you grow up, not all women have your mother's good luck, marrying a husband, is it an empty word?" ”
"Then I'm not married, okay?" Momiji rarely did not refute, but had a pitiful face.
Xu Qinglian watched silently, compared to Cui Tao, she already has a home, so what about her future fate? Is it a lonely life or is it the same to be a concubine for him?
The third wife, Liu, who was sitting on the side, felt uncomfortable, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law got married, won't she be weak in the future? said that there was something else at home, so he took Xu Qinglian and others to prepare to return home.
and other unrelated people left one after another, and suddenly the second daughter-in-law of the Wang family changed her expression, and said to the old lady: "The daughter-in-law does not agree to this family business, but Xuanqing is a young lady, and the other party is not the eldest sister's biological child, so she can't set up a household in the future, what's the use of marrying him?" It is better to marry the son of the squire family of the criminal department. ”
Wang frowned and retorted: "That son is not the eldest son, how is it different from the third child in my family?" ”
The second daughter-in-law sneered: "The difference is big, it's no wonder that the eldest sister has lived in the countryside for a long time, and she doesn't even know this." ”
"You." Wang's face turned red, and this remark hit her weakness, and she said with some annoyance: "Then tell me the difference?" ”
The second daughter-in-law immediately said: "The third child of your family is just a noble son, and in the future it will be nothing more than a low-status martial artist, and the son of the dignified Lang family, the scholarly family of Tongji Manchu Dynasty, will definitely be an official in the future.
Wang sneered: "This makes the future clear? Why did you marry into my family in the first place? ”
The second daughter-in-law was speechless, and she twisted her head and said: "Anyway, I don't agree, but if the four girls are allowed to be married, I am in favor." Mother, you know that the second lady of the Fu family is already planning to marry the son of the Shangshu family in the Criminal Department, and there are people in this court who are good officials. ”
When the old lady heard that the Fu family of Yingguo was like this, she was immediately moved, her husband had been leading the troops with Fu Youde all these years, and the two families had a good relationship. Wang Bi and his wife have always admired Fu Youde's behavior, and there are people who can follow suit and marry the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Seeing that her mother was moved, Wang immediately stopped persuading her, her current act was nothing more than a temporary idea, and it didn't matter if it was successful or not. Originally, she wanted her son to marry her cousin, but the eldest lady of the Wang family had already married, and the second lady was frail and sickly, and she couldn't look down on the third miss born to the second daughter-in-law, otherwise she wouldn't have Xu Hao's turn.
The old lady looked at her daughter and didn't want to embarrass her, so she smiled and said: "I think that brother is very good, in this way, let the three girls and the four girls go to your eldest sister's house to live for a while, and let the old lady of the Xu family personally pick one, if the waiter's family comes to ask for marriage, it will not be too late." ”
The second daughter-in-law nodded in agreement, she was happy to see that the fourth lady was promised to Xu Hao, and the waiter's family was just an intention, if things didn't work out, marrying her daughter to the Xu family would be a good destination, after all, she had seen Xu Hao with her own eyes, and this seeing was believing, she admitted that on the surface, it was a very good child.
Here Xu Hao didn't know that there was an accident in the Wang family, and when he learned that the Liu family was going home with his sisters, he hurriedly came out and instructed the family to prepare the carriage, he didn't want to see the Liu family, so he told the steward to leave the Wang family with a few guards.
At this moment, he missed Mu Ningxue very much, and subconsciously rode his horse towards the Qianning Palace, and when he arrived at the place, he learned that Mu Ningxue and her mother had left for the country courtyard.
I don't know when it snowed again, Xu Hao, who was caught in the love of his children, came back to his senses by the snowflakes that melted on his skin, and remembered the business of running the hotel, the only person in front of him who could and had to be counted on was undoubtedly Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan, the deeper they were implicated in each other, the better it would be for the future, of course, they had to act in secret.
Fortunately, with the identity of a relative of Yanwangfu, he can go to visit the New Year in a bright and bright way, and he is not afraid of being speculated, Xu Hao immediately rushed to Yanwangfu.
Just as Zhu Gaochi was about to enter the palace to study, the two met outside the mansion gate, Xu Hao walked to the sedan chair and told the hotel about it, Zhu Gaochi smiled: "This matter is easy, but in order to hide people's eyes, brother wait a few days." By the way, greet Qinglian for me. ”
Xu Hao nodded, and said in his heart that this bad relationship between the eldest sister and him, how long will it have to be entangled? But it's hard to find out about this kind of thing.
Sending Zhu Gaochi away, Xu Hao was anxious to take the guards out of the capital, he was really afraid that the old lady would nod and agree to the family matter.
The snowflakes fell from the sky, the galloping horses' hooves splashed the wet soil, the road was muddy and the big shijie became bright and clean, the green mountains and forests in the distance became elegant and pleasant because of the heavy snow, and the white expanse was like a fairyland.
Seeing a convoy slowly moving away in the wind and snow from a distance, the decoration on the carriage was very familiar, Xu Hao was in good spirits, and immediately jumped out.
