This angry shout scattered the soul of Xu Ji, who was looking at the rise, and screamed a pity. If Zhu Qiaoqiao was the only one in the pool, he would have the courage to rush up and forcibly rejoice, maybe Zhu Qiaoqiao would not dare to speak out when he was ashamed and angry, so he swallowed his anger and obeyed him.

It's a pity that he is not the protagonist of the novel of Nano History, and there are few four or five people around him to serve the dignified county lord, and suddenly a maid came over.

Xu Wen quickly got up and turned around and fled quickly, forcibly breaking out of the door, so frightened that the two little girls guarding the door trembled, and quickly disappeared without a trace in the night.

The maids here all found out that there was really someone peeping, and they were so frightened that they screamed loudly, but Zhu Qiaoqiao thought that the thief was Xu Hao, because who else was so unscrupulous and bold except Xu Hao? I didn't plan to make a noise, so I frowned and said, "Forget it." From now on, send someone to watch the door, and no one will be allowed to enter at night. ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao didn't take it to heart, she now treats Xu Hao more and more like a younger brother, even if he sees something, then she will see it. This point Zhu Qiaoqiao is different from the daughters of ordinary families, as long as there is no mutual affection, the sisters and brothers hug together, and the intimacy is irrelevant, and after she married into the Xu family alone, she urgently needs someone to fill the emptiness in family affection.

In this way, Xu Hao was mistaken for the person who stole the incense for no reason, and staggered tonight, in case Zhu Qiaoqiao accidentally said it one day, it can be said that he will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River in the future.

Early the next morning, Xu Wen came over early and waited diligently for Zhu Qiaoqiao to get up and freshen up and change clothes. Zhu Qiaoqiao seemed to feel a little guilty about the hot spring last night, her face calmed down, and she began to treat her husband with a pleasant face, and almost danced with Xu Wen's excitement.

Later, the husband and wife went to Fushouju to offer tea to the elders. And Xu Ji didn't sleep well last night, for fear that someone would break into the door and arrest him, and his heart was so weak that he dressed and went out to avoid trouble when it was dawn.

In the bamboo garden, Xu Hao worked hard for so many days, and finally slept peacefully. On the third pole of the day, Zhulan and other maids waited for him to freshen up, and said with a smile that the whole family had rushed to Fushouju early in the morning to see the new daughter-in-law.

Xu Hao raised his hand lazily and yawned, "They go to theirs, and I'll go to my sister-in-law to say hello when I get back." Today, the family will continue to have a feast, I have to go over and have a look. ”

"That's right." Zhulan remembered something and shouted outside the house, "Qiu Xiang, bring in the list of Ning Xue Girl." Forget it, Musk Yue, you go and get it. ”

Musk Yue hurriedly agreed to put down the basin, turned around and went out, and soon walked in with a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Hao.

It turned out that since Qiu Xiang had a sweetheart, she was no longer close to Xu Hao, and the bedroom was even far away, calculating the date day and night, waiting to get married.

And because the day of going out is just around the corner, Qiu Xiang swept away the original reprimand and became approachable, thinking about leaving some incense, and maybe when it could be used in the future. She hopes to stay by Xu Hao's side to do things after getting married, and receive a good monthly money, but unfortunately Xu Hao has already said that she will be at home to teach her husband and children at home if she gets married.

In fact, even though Qiu Xiang and Xu Hao are no longer close now, her loyalty to Xu Hao is beyond doubt, Xu Hao plans to wait for Qiu Xiang to get married, and let the couple go north to Yanwangfu to guard the property there.

Xu Hao took the list and looked at it, a little dizzy, Mu Ningxue unceremoniously asked him to buy some vines, spiny jing, emerald butterflies, moon seasons, roses, peonies and other flowers, and he had to use the butterflies tied to his hair to fly and hover on the flowers, and then he had to buy thirty baskets of big crabs and thousands of pots of chrysanthemums of various colors.

August is indeed a good time to watch chrysanthemums and eat crabs, what kind of butterflies are there? Xu Hao took the lead in his own losses, knowing that Ning Xue was taking the opportunity to take a small revenge, what else could he say?

That's the case between men and women, I wish there were as many entanglements as possible with each other, Xu Hao, who had something to do, immediately went to the outer courtyard to see the banquet being prepared, and kept going to the capital.

Instructed Wang Hu and Li Qiu to search everywhere for the fattest and largest crabs, and he himself ran to Yanwang's Mansion with the carriage, and even the Zhu Gaochi brothers didn't notice it, ran to Zhu Gaochi's favorite flower garden, and ordered his father-in-law to move all kinds of flowers to the carriage.

Pulling over more than a dozen palace laves, Xu Hao said: "Let everyone help catch butterflies together, catch them and tie them with their hair, and tie up a silver tael for your family's descendants, be quick." ”

This move immediately caused a sensation in the entire Yanwang Mansion, and immediately everyone was busy making tools for catching butterflies, and everyone went into battle to fight butterflies bravely for the sake of rewarding silver.

Later, Zhu Gao was helped over in a hurry, and said distressedly: "My beloved flower!" Xu Hao: What do you want to do? ”

Xu Hao didn't look back and said: "My sister opened a poetry club and wants to enjoy the flowers." ”

Zhu Gao blinked, and immediately said angrily: "Are these enough?" It's not enough that there are strange flowers and plants in the palace, why don't we go into the palace and steal some? ”

Xu Hao touched his chin and said excitedly: "Good idea, the Holy Lord won't be angry about this, right?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Imperial grandfather disdains to look at these flowers and plants the most, and what he likes to see most is all kinds of crops, even if he pulls out all the flowers in the imperial garden, he won't say anything." ”

Xu Hao shook his head and said: "Forget it, there are so many lonely women in the palace who are guarding those flowers and plants to get by, and if they lose any of them, they will be distressed to death." By the way, did you mention the prohibition of foot binding? ”

"Got it." Zhu Gaochi came down seriously and sighed: "The emperor's grandfather agreed very much, and specially summoned a number of ministers to ask their opinions, but unfortunately they were opposed by the masses, saying that foot binding is a southern custom, and the imperial court can not advocate it, but it cannot forcibly prohibit it." To put it bluntly, that is the habit of the common people's families, what is the matter with the imperial court? ”

Xu Hao frowned and asked, "Isn't there a minister from the north who agrees to this matter?" ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at the pots of flower bonsai that were carried away distressedly, and said: "There are only a few important ministers in the north who are sparse in the court, who listens to them if they are slight?" In fact, what the ministers said is reasonable, foot binding is all from those big and rich families, and ordinary people's families, especially peasant families, are almost unheard of, because population is labor, who is willing to raise a girl for nothing and not work? It's the two of us making a big fuss. ”

Xu Hao sneered: "Not now, it won't be certain when the population will multiply in the future." Anyway, you can talk about it again, it's okay to bind your feet, but you can't wrap around those three-inch golden lotus, you have to make the bones deformed from a young age, how much do you suffer? When you grow up, you haven't seen the way you walk, and the shape is creepy to look at, isn't this a scourge? Just to satisfy the perverted hobbies of some literati? ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: "The emperor's grandfather has not had a good temper these days, I don't dare to ask to see him, let's wait and talk." ”

Xu Hao nodded lightly and said gloomily: "Wait for me to send someone to inquire, who in the south has been advocating that the three-inch golden lotus is a graceful thing." Don't you like it! Well, I'm going to have to break his feet and tie them up. ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly persuaded: "You don't have to act willfully, you can do whatever your own daughters like, you haven't broken the law, if you have to be arrested and questioned." ”

Xu Hao nodded again, and said in his heart that when your father becomes the emperor in the future, with his support, I will definitely have to die all those disgusting and perverted Jiangnan scholars.

Zhu Gaochi planned to distract Xu Hao's attention and said, "Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to arrange a few people to go to Liaodong Korea for some training?" My father has agreed, but in fact, if you don't learn Korean, you can speak Chinese if you are a nobleman. ”

Xu Hao said happily: "Let's talk about it." Now my friends are all in high school. It is still necessary to learn Korean, and I want to have a deeper understanding of the customs of Korea, and not just deal with aristocratic officials. ”

Zhu Gaochi said disapprerovingly: "If you are from the north, then you can simply let your friends directly join my Yanwang Mansion, and you may not get an official position in three years." Don't you see that most of the scholars who won the imperial examination this time are southern scholars? There weren't many northerners at all. ”

"And that matter?" Xu Hao was taken aback.

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Since the imperial examination, the southern Shilin has taken advantage of the right time, place and people, and at first the north could still occupy a place, but it gradually became more and more difficult to pass the Jinshi, and it has been even more difficult to reach the sky in recent times. Although my father and son complained about the grievances of the northern scholars, this was a matter for the imperial court, and it was inconvenient to blame anything because of their identity. ”

Xu Hao squinted his eyes and said, "Brother Lao told His Royal Highness King Yan that Xu Hao knew about it." ”

Zhu Gao hurriedly said: "You can't make a mistake, how can you stir up this matter?" Be careful, lose your life because of this. ”

Xu Hao smiled and didn't say anything, and secretly said that I am naturally not fighting alone in this matter, northerners cannot be officials, especially too few people from Beiping are officials, Zhu Di should be the most anxious about this, which means that the help of Yanwangfu in officialdom is too small, although it can be recommended as an official, but it can only occasionally be unable to form a scale in terms of numbers.

Now Zhu Di is just waiting for the cause of the attack. When it comes to the next imperial examination, as long as you write big-character posters in series and engage in a parade, it will not be difficult to alarm Zhu Yuanzhang, and as an emperor, how can you let the southern family dominate? A balancing act is inevitable.

Xu Hao looked far away, looked at the Forbidden City in the distance, and said in his heart that for the sake of his friends, it seems that he still has to compete with the Wenchen Group.

PS: I don't recommend it next week, it's too sad, I can only ask for everyone's support, alas!
