Chapter 224: The days of living with Zhiqing

Because of Xu Hao's blindness in the sea for nearly two years, the Xu family inadvertently completed the huge transformation from rural household registration to urban household registration, which was of great significance, but it was unexpected by the whole clan.

The most emotionally felt is the Wei Guogong Mansion on the opposite side, the branch came from behind, and now lives in Li Shanchang's mansion, at least in terms of the house, it is on par with the family.

Before the long house was moved, the women of the Xu clan came and went with each other very frequently. Thinking that Xu Hao killed Shi Feng and his henchmen at the behest of the emperor, in order to warn Xu Zengshou to remove the people placed by the Xu family in Jinyiwei by the way, Xu Zengshou could only eat Coptis dumbly, and did not dare to have any complaints, let alone say it.

After the long house moved over, because of the dislike between Xu Yao's grandfather and cousins, especially after Xu Yaozu became a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, in order to gain the trust of the emperor, he took the initiative to draw a clear line with his own family, and strictly ordered the family not to interact with the other side, so although the two families were close at hand, they gradually broke off contact.

However, for the third child of his own family, who also has a suspicion, the father and son frequently take the initiative to show goodwill, probably because the more they are on an errand in the palace, the more they can feel Xu Hao's special influence in the Forbidden City.

Therefore, Changfang took the initiative to choose the residence on the west side, away from Xu Hao's one-third of an acre, and the princess's mansion was located on the east side. Wang Xuanqing was weak due to an accidental miscarriage, and the Wang family was worried that she would return to the capital to touch the scene, so he didn't let them and his wife come over.

Xu Wen, who returned to the capital, may be tired of playing with women recently, or maybe it is due to lack of money, or it is a side reason, anyway, it is a good idea to return to his wife, and the family is secretly guessing when the eldest grandmother will be soft-hearted.

As for the Xu family, they either come with them or choose to stay in the countryside, in short, each family has its own experience, needless to say.

In early spring in March, Xu Hao had just gotten up. I saw Qingwen rushing in and shouted, "Oh no, the princess of Fuqing is going to live in, and he is moving things over there." ”

Xu Hao rubbed the corners of his eyes and said expectantly, "What about Ning Xue?" Did you come? ”

Qingwen suddenly cried and laughed: "That's Her Royal Highness the princess, how dare the Mu family fight with the royal family?" ”

Xu Hao said unconvinced: "Ning Xue, her eldest brother and his wife have returned to Yunnan, who in the Mu family can control her?" No, I'll have to send someone to persuade her to go back. ”

Qingwen agreed: "That's right, if you let the girl come over like this, let's see who will pay attention to you in the future." What's going on? That will make outsiders laugh at the girl's lack of self-respect and ruin her reputation. ”

Xu Hao nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, you and Musk Yue will go together, call Li Qiu and them to accompany you, and when you come back, you will go shopping by the way, so that you can have a good day." ”

"Hmm." Qingwen turned around excitedly and rushed out.

Xu Hao tilted his head and thought about it, thinking that he had to run away from home immediately, and he couldn't afford to hide if he couldn't provoke us, probably the princess of Fuqing over there would also breathe a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for her, a widow with a child would not have been easy. Xu Hao doesn't want to be polite to her, Zhang Lin is innocent of death, what qualifications do you have to be full of resentment? is the same as the second sister-in-law, knowing that Wang Bi died at the hands of the emperor. But it is unreasonable to turn his anger on the errand runners.

Complaining is complaining, Xu Hao remembered the matter of avenging his second sister-in-law, and left a message for Li Qiu at the moment. told the old lady to go out for a walk, the old lady and Xiao knew that he was planning to go out to avoid it, and the women in the room sighed with a wry smile. I have to give some advice.

Xu Hao came out of his own house, went to Mu's house first, found Mu Ang and asked him to pass a few words to Ning Xue, telling the other party his recent whereabouts and plans, and what misunderstanding occurred in the province due to the loss of contact between the two parties.

He had just walked out of Mu's house with his front foot, and Zhiqing hurriedly ran out with a small package on his back foot, and it turned out that Ning Xue was worried about her and sent her to serve. Xu Hao couldn't refuse, so he had to hire a soft sedan chair, he rode a horse to Xiaojia Village in a low-key manner, lived in the small courtyard that was secretly in contact with the Geng family that day, asked the little servant to buy some daily necessities and clean the house, and sent everyone back.

Xu Hao knew that the small courtyard next to her was Wang Yu's house, and Lamei was restless, but how did she know about the romances of Lamei and her mother in the early years? I don't know that since Wang Yu dedicated his daughter-in-law to Xu Wen, Xu Wen was greedy for Lamei's mother and daughter, and as soon as he came back, he sent Wang Yu to Fengyang's hometown to do errands.

I don't know that Xu Wen is on duty in the palace these days, there is no man in the Wang family, and Lamei's mother and daughter went to the temple early in the morning to find excitement.

It was pouring rain from the sky, and the raindrops were pounding on the eaves of the house, making a crisp sound, and a series of waterlines flowed down with a bang, and there was a culvert in the yard that was not afraid of stagnant water.

Xu Hao couldn't go out, sitting on the stool in front of the door, thinking nonsense, Zhiqing was busy folding the freshly made haode futon and putting it away, for fear of getting damp.

Recently, he has received a lot of news, Xu Hao learned that the second sister-in-law and all the friends in the capital in the past have cut off contact, because of his own reasons, and the relationship with the Xu family is very weak, and there are almost no friends after marrying.

At first, Wang Xuanqing was reluctant to come and go, but then he was too lonely, and occasionally went to a church meeting or something, and gradually had a friendship with some ladies.

As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, Wang Xuanqing, who was disturbed by the competition for favor of concubines, became friends with several ladies who also suffered from it, and they had a common topic, the same situation and enemies, and soon became talkative.

Wang Xuanqing lost power overnight because of his mother's family, so that his psychological imbalance made his temperament and behavior very extreme, and gradually made a verbal contract with a certain lady who acted unscrupulously, and got closer and closer, but he became more and more estranged from other serious ladies.

Unfortunately, the lady surnamed Yu is not a good type, and likes to use magic and other sneaky things to curse the little concubines and maids in the family, and I firmly believe that ghosts and gods have close contacts with nearby nuns and goddesses, and the reason why Wang Xuanqing wants to go to the temple to burn incense is to listen to Yu's words.

When Xu Hao found out that Yu, who had the deepest friendship with his second sister-in-law, he sent Jinyiwei to secretly investigate Yu's family, and slowly sorted out the causes and consequences.

Recently, I received a piece of news that Yu was actually a slut behind her back, and there was a reason why she often went to the temple to burn incense. Originally, Xu Hao intended to let the Geng family get close to the Yu family, and wanted to inquire more about the exact news, and then take action to rectify these people. Unexpectedly, like things gathered, during the Chinese New Year, Yu's had a relationship with the lonely Geng's, and within a few days, Lamei's mother and daughter became fellow travelers of these women.

Suddenly, Zhiqing came over and asked, "This room is the West Wing." The two families could see each other next to each other when they opened the skylight, and the yard was separated only by a fence wall. You see that the north room of his house has an open window, fortunately there is no one, otherwise you can see everything in it clearly, but the neighbors around here are quite far away, is it a rented house? ”

Xu Hao said: "It's rented, and it's always paid every month." ”

Zhiqing was embarrassed and said: "These two sides are too close to each other, it is not very convenient, why do you have to live with outsiders?" ”

Xu Hao was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "It's me who didn't think about it." When the rain stopped, we would change accommodations. ”

Zhiqing hurriedly said: "No need, I'm just complaining, in fact, it's the same wherever I live, but the feeling of a small family is very fresh." ”

Xu Hao smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that if my eldest brother came over overnight, it would not only be fresh but hot, and the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and Zhiqing would have to be abducted after a while.

The weather was humid and muggy, and Zhiqing was busy for a long time and sweated. The body was greasy and uncomfortable, and said shyly: "I want to wipe my body with a basin of water, you are not allowed to peek." ”

Xu Hao got up and said with a smile: "The more you say that, the more I want to see it, just say when I go to Shandong." You asked me to wipe your back for you at night. ”

Zhi Qingqiao's face turned red, and she wanted to cover up and said cautiously: "At that time, it was obvious that we were all young and didn't need to avoid anything. Oops, I didn't say I wouldn't let you see it, wasn't I afraid that someone would come back next door? Do you want me to be peeked at? ”

"That's not going to work." Xu Hao shook his fist vigorously. "I'll fetch you well water, and you have to warm the kettle with hot water before washing."

"Hmm." Zhiqing's heart was sweet, she and Zhiyan had the consciousness of serving Xu Hao and Miss for a lifetime. Therefore, there are no scruples, of course, you have to keep the bottom line, you must not step on the thunder pool without the consent of the young lady, but half a step or something is another matter, as a wedding girl in a wealthy family, it is a compulsory lesson to sleep and please the future master.

Zhiqing watched intently as Xu Hao strode to the well in the rain, and lifted a bucket of well water effortlessly. Zhiqing nodded approvingly, she grew up in a family of military generals since she was a child, and she looked down on weak scholars who were powerless.

Xu Hao carried the well water into the house, Zhiqing saw this and helped pick up the lid of the pot on the stove, Xu Hao looked at the big iron pot very carefully, put the wooden barrel on the ground, and said, "Bring a new piece of clothing to wipe the pot clean." ”

Zhiqing put the lid of the pot aside, the two losers had no thrifty habits, found a new dress to wipe the pot spotlessly together, and then poured the well water into it, Xu Hao turned around and went to the firewood room to pick up some dry firewood and came back.

Zhiqing squatted on the ground and asked, "Will you make a fire?" ”

Xu Hao smiled to himself, leaned over to see that there was nothing in the stove, went out and brought in a bundle of hay, untied the straw rope and put a small amount of hay in, and added a few pieces of wood to leave a gap for burning.

"I brought some haode rice paper, which I used to wipe my buttocks, and took a stack to set it on fire." Xu Hao commanded while working.

Zhiqing smiled shyly: "It's so vulgar." He stood up and walked over.

Xu Hao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's go to the toilet." ”

"Here you go."

Zhiqing handed over the paper, and Xu Hao took it and stuffed it into the stove without hesitation. Together, the two of them lit the rice paper, and soon the hay was lit, and the fewer the flames, the more prosperous.

"Oops, it's smoked to death." Zhiqing couldn't stand the smoke, so she stood up and fanned the wind with her hands.

Xu Hao held his breath and observed the fire, holding an iron hook in his hand, and said: "Probably the flue is blocked, and the air pressure is low when it rains today, and the smell of smoke in this room will not dissipate for a while." ”

Zhiqing couldn't help but be cautious: "I complain that you have to boil water, now you are full of the smell of fireworks, and even your clothes are going to be smoked, what is the difference between washing and not washing?" ”

Xu Hao sneered: "Don't you drink water to make tea?" Don't cook at night? Don't wash your face and brush your teeth? ”

Zhiqing smiled and said, "I'm not going to go to the neighbor's house to ask for a pot of hot water?" By the way, take some money and ask your mother to help cook and eat? ”

Xu Hao sighed: "You are also a daughter, and you won't live." ”

Zhiqing said unconvinced: "Could it be that you are a child of a poor family?" ”

While they were arguing with each other, they heard movement outside. (To be continued......)
