Xu Hao remembered that the princesses of the Ming Dynasty were very sad and urging, most of them were selected from commoners or low-level officials, and few of them were right. And some eunuchs secretly made evil, and after accepting bribes, they found some crooked melons and cracked dates to make up for the number, and when the letter of appointment was issued, it was too late to regret it, and the happiness of the princess was buried.

And after getting married, the princess and the concubine will also be restrained by the eunuch and the palace maid, it is said that there is a princess who has never even seen her husband in her life, and if the concubine wants to share a bed with his wife, he must first pay bribes. Of course, some princesses may not be normal people.

The colt has no political status, and to put it bluntly, he is an idle eater.

As for the county lord's concubine, I don't know, it turns out that when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, the candidates for the princess concubine were basically all from the meritorious children, and the family was either a founding meritorious or a military general's family with great military achievements, and the status of the family was higher than that of civil officials.

At this time, the status of the horse is prominent, they are the best of their generation, and their talents will basically be reused, guarding the capital or leading troops to fight, etc., first awarded the title of captain of the horse, and after a few years, there will be a marquis. Probably the decline of the horse was the result of being deliberately suppressed by the civil official group that rose in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, just like the situation of those royal clansmen who were raised as pigs in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Now Xu Hao is clear, he accompanied Zhu Gaochi to choose a horse for Yanwangfu, probably the same process as the princess's selection of a horse, so I know how lucky Xu Wen is, and it is also because Zhu Qiaoqiao is a concubine and Zhu Yuanzhang does not pay attention to it.

There are children of honors who have reached the age of 14, they can sign up freely or be personally selected by Zhu Yuanzhang, and then go to Beijing from all over the country to report to the Zhuwang Pavilion, starting with the audition.

Xu Wen came to Yanwangfu every day for several days to report, but unfortunately he was average in learning, Zhu Gaochi never had a deep friendship with him except for a few polite meetings, and every time he sat and chatted a few words, he served tea and sent guests, which made Xu Wen often lament that he did not have a good sister.

And Zhu Gaoxu is always not in the palace, he is young, Xu Wen is unwilling to waste time on an underage prince, so the two have almost no contact.

Recently, because of Xu Ji's family affairs, Xu Wen was instructed by Zhu Qiaoqiao to turn around, and ran to Wang's house all day long to handle specific matters. The Wang family was overjoyed by the Xu family's proposal, and now with Wang Bifu idle at home, the future is uncertain, the original bustling family with guests has gradually become crowded, and the wealthy families and ministers who intend to marry in the past have not mentioned family affairs, and the Wang family is naturally grateful for the Xu family's charcoal in the snow.

The Wang family began to take precautions, secretly packed a large number of gold, silver, jewelry and other properties into boxes and sealed them, and asked Xu Wen to take people to carry them home several times under the banner of giving dowries.

Xu Hao didn't know how much silver there was, and he didn't care about it, only that his wife Wang had been smiling from ear to ear recently.

At this moment, more than a dozen fathers-in-law who came from Beiping and the palace were honestly standing aside, and the eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty had no status, so they didn't even dare to let out a fart. Xu Hao and Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu sat with a golden knife, drinking tea and sipping melon seeds, looking at the young man standing with a critical eye.

Hundreds of well-dressed candidates lined up, one by one to enter the election, and they were directly eliminated if they did not look good, and those who were pleasing to the eye were ordered to report to their homes, and they were eliminated without saying anything. All of them have passed the test of poetry and articles, and the elimination of straw bales is eliminated, and the horses do not need to be more haode literary talents, but they can get by.

If you feel satisfied, you will show your martial arts, eliminate the elimination of fists and embroidered legs, and continue to test the art of war and the common sense of marching and fighting. At this moment, Xu Hao felt embarrassed, it seemed that many people knew the details, but he didn't understand them at all.

If you don't know how to learn, Xu Hao has a dignified face, sitting upright like an expert, but his ears are cocked, listening to the conversation word for word.

The draft will be accompanied by shady, and this time it is the same, probably the candidates have already been released. This is the engagement of Yongan and Yongping, the two county lords who are about to leave the cabinet. Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite candidate, one is the founding hero, Yuan Rong, the son of Yuan Hong, who is the governor of the capital, is 16 years old this year, looks like a talent, his articles are mediocre, his martial arts are outstanding, and he is a little arrogant.

One is the commander of the Beijing Guard, Li Rang, the son of Li Shen, Marquis of Fuyang, the Li family is also one of the founding heroes, and there is a Danshu iron coupon in the family, but the marquis is not hereditary.

Li Rangsheng is very handsome, very modest and has a good temperament, his literary style is much stronger than Yuan Rong, and his martial arts and art of war are slightly inferior.

The two Zhu Gaochi brothers were very satisfied with the vision of the emperor's grandfather, in fact, they were not satisfied and did not dare to say that Xu Hao was purely here to join in the fun, and he would not be stupid enough to express his opinions without authorization. zuihou, these two unanimously passed the approval of the three judges.

Xu Hao looked at Yuan Rong and Li Rang with a little sympathy, from then on, they would leave home and run to Yanwang's Mansion thousands of miles away, and be honored guests for a year or two.

When will Zhu Di and his wife feel satisfied, they will marry their daughter to them, and from now on they will live in the county lord's mansion, or they can build another mansion, and whether the county lord can come and live with him depends on the character and status of the county lord himself, and the character really determines the fate.

Anyway, in ancient times, men had a good social status, and compared with the female comrades who married into the royal family, even if they were wronged, they were thousands of times happier. As for the future if you want to return to the sect, it will all depend on your own skills and creation, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no chance of meritorious service, as the saying goes, the son-in-law is half the son of the old father-in-law, with the favor and trust of the father-in-law, it is not difficult to seal the Hou Bai will stand on his own.

Therefore, it is still very good to enter the royal family, and it is not uncommon for people to read, because they want to be in harmony with the official career from now on. The meritorious children are very enthusiastic, but it is a pity that they can't enter the emperor's eyes and it is in vain.

Becoming a county lord naturally has a series of etiquette processes, Xu Hao was impatient to deal with these cumbersome rules, and ran away after saying a word.

Zhu Gaoxu chased after him and shouted, "Where are you going?" I've been bored lately and want to go to the countryside for a few days. ”

Xu Hao turned around and said, "I'm going to Mu's house to be a companion, and you're going too?" ”

"For the sake of Sister Mu, right?" Zhu Gaoxu looked disdainful, "Hurry up and get married, what's the point of running to someone's house all day long?" ”

Xu Hao said angrily: "I still have to keep my filial piety for two years, you don't want to be engaged?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly shook his head and said: "As far as I know, that Mu Chun has a very high vision, and he himself is proficient in the art of war, and his martial arts are outstanding, comparable to the old Uncle Mu Huang, just rely on your martial arts and art of war, alas! ”

Xu Hao was immediately dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Really, fake?" ”

"What am I lying to you about?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled very cheaply, "Li Jinglong is said by everyone to be powerful, he was humiliated by Mu Chun, and as a result, he never mentioned marrying Sister Mu again." ”

Xu Hao's eyes became deep, and he said with confidence: "Your sister of the Mu family is not a mortal, even Mu Chun may not be able to suppress her, she knows very well what kind of person I am, if she nods and agrees to the family matter, I don't care about ten Mu Chun." ”

Zhu Gaoxu liked Xu Hao's arrogance, and said happily: "That's it." It's a big deal, I'll accompany you to rob your relatives, and grab the raw rice and cook it into cooked rice, even if he Muchun brings people and horses to kill him, what are we afraid of? Directly beat them with fart and urine. ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "It's decided, if he Mu Chun dares to stop it, I will snatch people back with you." ”

Zhu Gaochi also hahadaxiao, and the two brothers went to the Mu family courtyard together with a smile. But they did not know that this joke today would come true in the future.

At this time, Zhou Peng and others have returned to their hometowns, Jiang Song has been living in the Mu family, relying on teaching Mu Ang to become a talent, and gradually began to expose his true nature, at first he was just hooking up with Mu Ang's scholars, but recently he has become more and more bold, and he will tease and seduce the Mu family's subordinates at every turn, and there is a lot of gossip.

For the sake of a beautiful maid, he ran to beg Mrs. Mu to reward him with people, but the maid was not happy, so Mrs. Mu did not agree, but promised to help Jiang Song continue the string.

Under the tea shelf in the courtyard, Jiang Song was lying alone on a Taishi chair napping, Xu Hao was sitting in the study reading a book, and Zhu Gaoxu and Mu Ang were squatting in the grass and didn't know what to do.

Xu Hao has long wanted to tease Jiang Song, and he has not been idle, since there is Zhu Gaoxu, who is idle and bored, he naturally explained the matter to him, and Xu Hao is waiting to see a good show.

Suddenly, a maid with her head crossed came in, carrying a food box in her hand, Xu Hao saw that it was the fourth sister of Hua, and now she has changed her name to Zhenqing. The homonym of this name is true love, and Mrs. Mu also means that she is chaste and self-disciplined from now on, and she is innocent, which can be described as well-intentioned.

Xu Hao put down the book in his hand and said, "Why are you here?" How have you been? ”

Zhenqing walked over to give a gift, put the food box in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, life is fine." The young master likes to eat lucky oranges, so I deliberately peeled off the skin and soaked it in honey water and sent it to him to eat. The other bowls are for you and your husband. ”

Xu Hao was very happy after hearing this, stared at Zhenqing's face, and said with a smile: "Thank you, put the food box here, you go back quickly, I will call Mu Ang to come over to eat in a while, and let Mu Ang carry the things back." ”

Zhenqing smiled and said: "I'll stay here and serve, it's boring to stay in the inner house all day, it's okay to talk to you." ”

Xu Hao's smile slowly put away, and said, "Don't hide it from me, are you unhappy inside?" Someone bullied you? ”

Zhen Qingqiang laughed to himself: "No, no, they all treat me very well, but I can't get used to living here, and I always do wrong things clumsily." ”

Xu Hao sighed: "No need to explain. In this way, I will immediately send someone to your house, so that your mother and sisters will often come to visit the house, and I will say hello, and the Mu family steward will not dare to stop you in the future. Although it can't help you much, it's good that your relatives meet often, but you feel bitter and wronged in your heart, and it's okay to cry. When you get used to being familiar with other people here, the situation will get better, and I'm afraid that you will have trouble in your stomach. ”

Zhenqing was stunned for a moment, looking at the handsome young man in front of him in disbelief, if he wanted to say that he was just a little grateful before, he was really moved beyond words at this moment, and his eyes immediately turned red.

Seeing this, Xu Hao said softly: "Go ahead." I'll go to meet your eldest lady later, and ask her to take care of you nearby, and there will be a lot fewer people who bully you. But you have to remember, don't have evil thoughts in your heart, vainly trying to exclude others, this Mu family law is strict, once you take a wrong step, don't expect anyone to save you. ”

"Slave maid keep in mind, Xiexie son, this grace and this virtue will never dare to forget." At this moment, Zhenqing thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and after finishing speaking, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, turned around and walked away.

Xu Hao waited for her to go away, strode out of the study, and called Zhu Gaoxu and Mu Ang over for a cold drink. He raised his hand again to summon Zhang Fu and Li Qiu, and instructed the two of them to ride horses to the Hua family in the capital to pick up the people, and in the name of the fourth sister Hua, bring ten taels of silver and a few silk horses to the Hua family.

PS: The New Year is so noisy! But there are red envelopes to take, and I'm afraid that the update will be unstable in the last few days, and the big guy is more inclusive!
