Chapter 18: Thoughts

Xu Hao, who was confined to his feet, couldn't go out, stayed at home every day to exercise, read poetry and some wild history books, practiced calligraphy, accompanied his sister Qinglian to make some female red, and fought with his little sister Red Leaves, and lived a fulfilling life.

Early in the morning of this day, a housekeeper woman led those new maids to play the long room, Xu Hao got the news and hurriedly ran out of the study, followed by Qiu Xiang.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw a large group of girls in green dresses standing in the flower hall with their heads bowed. Xu Hao quietly walked to Hongye and sat down, looking at these young girls with interest.

Xiao Shi was carefully looking at the appearance of each girl, frowning and thinking from time to time, while Xu Qingtang beside him looked like an old monk, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't seem to care about this matter. But Xu Hao's eyes were sharp, and he noticed at a glance that Cheap Daddy's feet were shaking.

The situation of their parents as children is too clear, and all along, the maids around Xiao's side have not had a good appearance, although they are not crooked melons and cracked dates, but they have nothing to do with being beautiful and dignified.

And in recent years, as the four big girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter have gradually grown up, their bodies have become more and more convex and concave, and Xiao's treatment of them has become more and more strict.

For Xiao's jealousy, Xu Hao naturally raised his hands and feet in agreement, after all, no one wants to suddenly have an extra second mother in the family, but the love of beauty belongs to human nature, everyone wants to get along with beautiful girls day and night, right?

Seeing that Xiao's gaze repeatedly swept on the faces of several people who were a little sorry, Xu Hao was afraid that he would be affected by his little fish, so he raised his hand and asked to speak.

Fortunately, Xiao Shi implements a dictatorial policy towards her husband, and she is still more democratic for her children, indicating that her son can speak.

Xu Hao glanced at his father's feet, trembled even more happily, smiled secretly in his heart, and said seriously: "Mother, now that the child and sister are older, now I have to add a maid to my side." With so many people, it's a little inappropriate for everyone to be crammed into one yard, you say? ”

Xu Qingtang, who was secretly happy, was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glared at his son fiercely, and secretly scolded the little rabbit cub.

Xiao Shi tasted his son's words, and his face suddenly smiled, and his heart said that it was his son who was facing his mother, and he didn't hurt my son in vain, so he nodded with a smile and agreed.

Xu Hao ignored the threatening eyes of the cheap father, and said with a smile: "I wonder if I can tidy up the garden, there are a few attics for ornamentation, and with a little repair, it can be used as an embroidery building for sisters and sisters, connect the courtyard walls to strengthen and heighten, and send someone to guard the portal." After all, the brothers have grown up, and the little guys and friends who go in and out on weekdays inevitably have the ones with ghosts in their hearts, so they are separated from each other, and they are not allowed to come and go at will. ”

"That's a good idea." Xiao Shi was greatly moved, and Xu Hao's words can be said to be the center. Besides, the daughters are old, and the maids around them are also older, and living in a courtyard house is really wronged by the identity of the big lady.

Xu Qingtang snorted coldly in his heart, and said coldly: "What about you, my eldest young master, do you also plan to move over together, so as to avoid me and your mother's supervision?" ”

Xu Hao grinned, nodded shamelessly, and said, "I'm not eighteen years old yet, and when I have a coming-of-age ceremony, I naturally have to move out of the garden." ”

"Humph!" Xu Qingtang sneered, but he was really envious in his heart, and picked up the tea bowl indignantly.

Xiao Shi glanced at her husband, and carefully calculated in her heart, she was the only person in charge of the family, and immediately slapped the board in the court.

Xu Qingtang, who was disappointed in his heart, stood up, didn't dare to vent his dissatisfaction in front of his wife, gently put down the teacup, said that there was something to do and walked away, Xiao looked at the figure of her husband leaving with a smile.

"The three of you can choose for yourself, one person can pick two girls." There is no worries about Xiao Shile's fulfillment of children's preferences.

"I'll come first." Momiji jumped up first, walked around in front of the girls with her little hands behind her back, and quickly pointed to two little girls who were about the same age as her and looked very honest.

Dongxue on the side was depressed because the young lady did not choose her cousin. As mentioned earlier, the younger sisters of Dongxue and Qiuxiang were chosen, while the sisters of Chunyue and Xia Yu were unsuccessful.

Xu Qinglian turned her head to look at her younger brother, pursed her mouth, and motioned for Xu Hao to come first, not wanting Xu Hao to shake her head.

She thought for a moment and said, "Qiuxiang, Dongxue, you two go and pull them out." ”

Qiu Xiang and Dong Xue both thanked the young lady and said a blessing to the young lady, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, and lowered their heads and stepped forward to lead the two girls out.

Xiao Shi looked at it coldly, and said lightly: "Since you two are not outsiders, I will say this ugly thing in front, if you dare to rely on Qiu Xiang and Winter Snow, and be lazy and slippery behind your back, I know that I will not be spared." You are no better than others, I should know a lot about my person, you know that I can't rub a little sand in my eyes, and if you dare to serve without care, petty theft, don't say it's you when the time comes, even the old faces of your parents have to be torn off for it, and I remember it. ”

"Yes." Qiu Xiang and a few other maids bowed their heads respectfully.

As the saying goes, there are no rules, and the so-called equality is far from being reached in later generations, not to mention the ancient times when there was a clear hierarchy, Xu Hao's reaction to this was quite calm.

Saying that he is calm may be beautifying him, all Xu Hao's attention at this moment is focused on the faces of the girls, because he has rich experience in patronizing entertainment venues, his eyes seem unscrupulous, but it also happens to be in line with his identity as a young master at this time.

"Strange." While admiring the delicate faces of the girls, there were a lot of beautiful looks, and there were two of them very beautiful, Xu Hao felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked the lady in charge, "How many did you choose over there in the long room?" What is the appearance? ”

The housekeeper's woman put on a smiling face and said, "A total of ten have been selected, eight girls are being selected here, and the remaining eight are all in the third room, as for the appearance, I can't say." ”

Xu Hao sighed for a moment, and then asked, "How many did the old lady keep for herself?" ”

"Four left." The steward's woman replied with a smile.

Xu Hao was even more puzzled, a total of sixteen girls were selected before, but now there are more than double them, even if you add the relationship between the two intercourse people, the old lady must have at least seven or eight.

Based on the experience of the costume dramas he watched, it was obvious that he had to be designated by the old lady himself to have one or two maids around him! How can such an opportunity be passed up in a vacuum? In ancient times, information was not developed, and if you want to control or inquire about any news, the only way to rely is people, and art comes from life.

Pointing to the girls, Xu Hao deliberately said: "It's up to me to choose at will, who can I choose?" ”

The lady in charge smiled lightly and asked, "What does Brother Hao mean?" The slave didn't understand. ”

Still Xiao Shi can't see it, these days, she has long figured out the messy thoughts and flute intestines of her grown up son, frowned and said: "If you want to pick it, you can pick it quickly, and go back to study after you finish choosing." ”

The lady in charge smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Hao is an understanding person, but you are too worried, with the second lady here, even the old lady will not be bored." ”

"Uh-oh."

At this moment, Xu Hao made a big red face, and secretly scolded why he forgot the old lady who was profound? His own little bit of house fighting is careful, he can't hide it from others at all, and he thinks he is very smart, with such a little experience, how can he be a woman opponent who is born with the attribute of house fighting palace fighting?

Xiao Shi shook his head with a smile, and sighed weakly: "This kid doesn't know which medicine he took wrong now, thinking about this and not worrying about that all day long, and he doesn't have to focus on serious places, which really makes me angry, annoyed and helpless." ”

The woman in charge smiled and said: "It's not that the slave deliberately compliments the second wife, Brother Hao is thoughtful at a young age, and the previous tentative words really surprised the slave, this is about the city government, but it is a few points stronger than Brother Wen Ji, and it is strange that even the old lady has said that Brother Hao'er has behaved like an adult these days." ”
