Chapter 981: The Draft
Only then did Mrs. Hao realize that she had been dropped by Yuan Kong, pointed to the deer as a horse, and married her own daughter, so she was naturally very unhappy.
In the matter of her son's marriage, Mrs. Hao basically didn't do anything, and she listened to her nature. In private, she pinned her hopes on the daughter of the Xu family to be able to tie up her son, or give birth to a grandson as much as possible, of course, the Xu family's family made her the most satisfied.
And the fake daughter-in-law said this, which is indeed quite reasonable, and it is also very pleasant to listen to, the mother-in-law and the mother and wife are endless, holding their legs and looking pitiful.
Mrs. Hao frowned and thought about it, and suddenly turned into joy, as the saying goes, marry a wife and marry a virtuous, isn't it exactly what she dreams of a daughter-in-law who can speak well and can faintly suppress her son?
The daughter-in-law wants to have a face, a butt and an ass, long legs and long legs, and the blessing of a prosperous husband and a child, as for what Miss Xu, what if she is as beautiful as a fairy? must be a pampered woman who can't run a house.
Mrs. Hao said to her son: "Husband and wife are married in their previous lives, and it is not easy. Now that she has become a husband and wife with you, it is naturally a fate in a previous life. Otherwise, how could she, a child from a poor family, marry our daughter-in-law? Although there is a trick of borrowing manpower, it is also the will of God. As the old saying goes, ugliness is a lady, not to mention that Sister Ai is so handsome and virtuous, what does her father's business have to do with her? Yan'er can't bully others in the future. ”
Sister Ai was ecstatic in her heart, and hurriedly wiped her tears and knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "Unfilial daughter-in-law, bring tired mother-in-law and wife to be angry." The mother explained the child, so that my husband and wife were reconciled, and her kindness was great, and the daughter-in-law was thanked. ”
Mrs. Hao admired her sensible and well-behaved, helped her sister up, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to be so filial and careful, I'm very happy." He turned to Hao Yan and said, "You still haven't come to admit your mistake?" ”
At this time, Hao Dagongzi had lost his temper, and he watched his mother and wife turn into one nostril to breathe, but the appearance of Ai Sister when she cried was really pitiful. I was really reluctant to stand tall like a chicken, but since my mother gave me the steps, I walked over stupidly.
Mrs. Hao took the two hands together and said, "Hurry up and greet each other, don't be childish in the future." ”
Hao Yan made a gesture to his sister: "Mother's life, I dare not push it back." ”
Sister Ai was also busy saying ten thousand blessings, and Mrs. Hao saw that the couple had rebuilt the old relationship, and turned back. And Hao Yan had already started a false fire, wishing that his mother would leave. hurriedly hugged my sister and went to bed to apologize.
For a whole night, Sister Ai did her best to make Hao Yan feel comfortable, and his wife became more and more powerful regardless of the bed, so she no longer dared to pick and choose, and was willing to be oppressed.
He came out and asked someone to find Yuan Kong to talk, not wanting Yuan Kong to get a notice of help, so he hid out of the door overnight, and Mu said to the Hao family: "Three days ago. He went to Shaoxing to visit relatives. ”
The family replied to Hao Yan, Hao Yan knew what was going on, and he didn't ask anymore, smiled and went back to spend the moon with his wife.
It didn't take two days. When Yuan Kongda heard that his daughter had succeeded, he came to see Hao Yan and repeatedly asked for guilt, "It's just because the son is in a hurry to marry." The Xu family repeatedly refused, and I was anxious, so I made a move to give my wife and children. In response to the urgent need of the son. Please don't be angry, don't you listen to the wine to persuade people, and there will be no malice in the end. ”
Hao Yan said angrily: "You should say it directly, why do you have to do this trick?" Now for the sake of Ling Ai, there is no need to mention it. It's just that I hate Uncle Xu for insulting me, sooner or later I will find some trouble with him, and I can't ask for a copy of ginseng, what do you say? ”
Yuan Kong said: "He is an important minister of the dynasty who has taken a leave of absence to cultivate, he is cautious, his henchmen are all over the world, and he has never committed a crime, not only the saint regards him as a relative, and the officials have not disrespected him, and the master is his subordinate back then, the prince must not." If the son is really angry, according to the younger brother, in the future, inquire about what is going on with him, and when he is no longer favored, it is better to make a small calculation. ”
"Well, that makes sense." Hao Yan saw that Yuan Kong was as sensible as ever, and secretly said that this father and daughter were really a pair of wonderful people, his eyes were rolling, because he didn't marry Xu Xiangyue, he secretly hated it in his heart.
Coming to Yunnan for a year, Xu Hao was preparing to return to Beijing, and received a holy decree that the prince Zhu Zhanji was going to get married in October this year.
It's just a matter of the royal family's old state relapsing, and they actually sent several eunuchs to various places to check the election, Xu Hao sighed, in the end, he couldn't stop these bad habits, this was still when he was alive.
Xu Hao was not angry and was not ready to block, he couldn't see through the essence of the feudal dynasty, and tried to use his mantis arm as a car, that was a fool of the sky, what was the use of blocking? For the sake of the family, in the future, try not to offend eunuchs and other interest groups, whether the Ming Dynasty falls or not is his business, as long as it is another Han regime is enough!
It is said that several eunuchs finally looked forward to the opportunity to leave Beijing to do business, and they had long forgotten Xu Hao's warning back then, and got together to discuss in advance.
The leader is the eunuch Yao Yin, the status of the eunuch has deteriorated over the years, and in history, the officials of the court and the central government have not disrespected the powerful eunuch, but now it is reversed, and the eunuch is just a servant of the royal family.
Xu Hao's reasons in this regard are very sufficient, the eunuchs of the past dynasties have brought disaster to the country and the people, and they have to be prevented, Zhu Yuanzhang also personally said that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, which is consistent with the statements of the ministers, and it does not seem special. At the same time, Xu Hao had a good relationship with Wang Jinghong, Hou Xian, Yishiha and other great eunuchs, and often helped the palace people, and never discriminated against because he was a eunuch, so the relationship between the two sides can be called harmonious.
Yao Yin wanted to do a good errand, and said in public: "Remember not to publicize this matter, if it was known by the people in the past, all the beauties would be hidden and hidden, or marryed indiscriminately, and they were often selected to look ordinary, and it was difficult to enter the eyes of the saints, so that the show girls who paid tribute from North Korea and other countries were favored one after another. This time it didn't alarm anyone, firstly, I was afraid that Xu Sanye would not be happy, and secondly, we could also quietly branch various prefectures and counties and urge the localities to check and select from house to house. If you can get the favor of the saint and the prince, it will be a great achievement for us, and it will be reused. ”
Several eunuchs agreed very much, and chose a good place by lot, and one by one they really didn't want to shoot, so they secretly left Beijing and came to Jiangnan and Zhejiang in the starry night.
This Yao Yin said well, but as soon as he came out, he forgot that he was the oldest, and swaggered to the south, and there was no impermeable wall in the officialdom, and there were already local county officials who were shocked when they heard the news, and hurriedly sent people to report to their respective bosses.
The eunuch went out of Beijing, regardless of whether he was following the holy decree, and for a while, the officials who were good at climbing the drill camp gathered in Qiantang County, and the county order had already ordered someone to clean up the mansion and meet them collectively by boat.
Yao Yin is very happy and proud, who said that eunuchs are not as good as dogs now? It's still majestic.
As soon as he was proud, he got carried away, and he had already forgotten the emperor's repeated instructions not to disturb the people, and only asked for a hundred beautiful women who were not ugly to fill the East Palace.
Seeing the officials, Eunuch Yao said: "Our family has been ordered to select young girls to enter the palace. Because I was worried that the people would hide and there would be no strange women to offer, the prison came quietly. I hereby invite all the adults of Fuzhou County, Hezhou Province, whether they are the gentry and gentry, the townspeople, and all the families with women, to go to the yamen to register, compile the name, and then send it to the hands of the prisoner to stay. ”
Speaking of this, Yao Yin looked around at the officials who had no spirit, and said with a meaningful smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget the age of the prince Chitose, whoever offers a lot of stunning women under the rule of the Lord will report Chitose, and there is no need to say much about meritorious deeds." But those who bring a few or ugly women to the Cypriots, you and other adults, you must be careful, and do not be disloyal and unfilial. ”
The officials all understood that this was for the crown prince Zhu Zhanji, the future emperor to choose beauties, all of them were in high spirits, especially those who were eager to be promoted and make a fortune, this was simply a good opportunity to vote for the prince, how could they miss it?
The officials received the order to return to the government one after another, but they did not dare to wash the dust of Eunuch Yao together, let alone give gifts casually, for fear of hitting the muzzle of the gun of the inspection of the imperial history, and the number of salutes when people came.
In the officialdom, the wind is always the rain, not to mention the will, the document was written overnight, and the political envoy sent it to 12 prefectures and 75 counties in a province.
Almost overnight, the government posted notices everywhere, ordering those who have school-age daughters to go to the yamen to register immediately, and the marriage will be stopped, and the violators will be severely punished!
Unless you are a family affair booked in advance, you are never allowed to marry a daughter, and there is a kind of casual relationship between you and the match?
Of course, the situation is different in various places, there are bureaucrats who blindly flatter the wind and are in a hot draft, and naturally there are also good officials who take it seriously, and protect the good officials who govern the people, anyway, the whole Jiangnan is full of chickens and dogs, and the people who don't want to send their daughters to the palace complain.
Xu Haojing and other newspapers around the country reported on this matter, he didn't believe that a few eunuchs could cover the sky with one hand and stop so many newspapers, and sooner or later it would be transmitted back to Jinling.
Anyway, under the pressure of public opinion and the mouth of the world, most of the girls will be sent home, and as for the few people who can't return home, they can only love and help.
Because Yao Yin was having a good time among these eunuchs, Xu Hao, who had nothing to do, decided to kill a chicken to show the monkey, did he really think that Lao Tzu would retire?
However, this matter can only be directed at Yao Yin alone, and it is best to make it look like a personal grudge, and its intention is not difficult to be guessed by smart people. Xu Hao is not worried that Zhu Zhanji will be unhappy, and the prince's favorite is Sun Wangyue.
In this way, under the warm farewell of all the officials in Yunnan, the annoying Young Master Xu was ready to return to Beijing with great fanfare! (To be continued......)
