Chapter Eighty-Nine: Man is not as good as heaven

Xu Hao, who couldn't stand it, pulled Mu Ang back and turned back, Jiang Song and Pinshu had a leg, there was no doubt that there was no need to continue to peep at Jiang Song's errands, and he was blinded.

And no one can control the nonsense between scholars, and it doesn't involve women, so what can you do if you know? Can you manage the hobbies between men?

Zuihou Xu Hao could only say to Mu Ang seriously: "That's your little girl, mixing with your husband behind your back, just like your maid carrying you behind your back to show her affection for other men, this is of course their own freedom." But as the master's family, I can't continue to keep the subordinates who have moved my heart by my side, because the most important loyalty has become a problem, and it is good for everyone to release it as soon as possible, and the province will leave a disaster. ”

Xu Hao didn't plan to tell Mrs. Mu, but left the choice to Mu Ang.

Mu Ang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "I don't want to take Pinshu away immediately, he didn't hide it from me, it was Mr. Xia Zuo who forced him to comply, and Pinshu was also forced to do so." ”

It turns out that this is the case, Xu Hao frowned and felt that this matter was quite tricky, not in private, it was a scandalous matter that corrupted the Mu family's style, although there were many ways to deal with similar things. But because the victim is a man and he didn't resist afterwards, the abuser is a gentleman with a meritorious reputation, and there are too many times, in general, no one is helpless, and it is not easy to publicize it, it is nothing more than to let the gentleman leave as soon as possible.

But Jiang Song has a relationship with herself, and she is a scoundrel, once Mrs. Mu knows about it, she will hate her even with her. Alas! Knowing Jiang Song's personality, it can be said that he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Xu Hao strengthened his belief in dealing with Jiang Song, and must let him get out of the Mu family automatically, and said: "You send the little guys into the city first, and when the exam is over, you will tease him a few times, so that he will continue to stay without face, this kind of person must not stay in your house." ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Hao couldn't help but look at Mu Ang with admiration, he didn't expect this child to be very affectionate, otherwise he could just run to complain, for the sake of his scholar, he had hidden it for so long.

Mu Ang, who had no heart and lungs, nodded in agreement with a smile, and began to look forward to the next revenge. Xu Hao sent him back to his residence and took advantage of the night to return home with the guards.

When I got home, it was still early, and when I passed by the outer hall, I saw the eldest brother Xu Wen talking and laughing with several brothers in the clan and the descendants of the village.

Qiu Xiang's brother Li Qiu couldn't help but said indignantly: "Since the eldest prince took care of foreign affairs, there are these sloppy gangsters around him every day, and there is no good person in this gang, when you are rich, when you are your father, after instigating you to scatter your family wealth, you will disappear with the benefits, and some people even fall into the ground, abduct your family members and even encourage outsiders to seek your wife and daughter, the eldest prince is really confused." ”

The guard Wang Hu sneered: "Yesterday, they took the eldest young master to Hua Laogui's house, and they had a whole day of eating, drinking, and merrymaking. The eldest young master fell in love with the third daughter of the Hua family, and planned to raise it for a whole year, so he generously rewarded twenty taels of silver first, and said on the spot that he would follow the rules of the hall and marry the Ming media, and ten of them were divided among the helpers. ”

Xu Hao was not surprised by Li Qiu and Wang Hu's insight, because there were several such families in the village who were made to ruin by the scoundrels, and these fox friends who tended to be inflammatory, even in the future generations, still existed.

The elders in the family are all alive, and now Xu Hao is not worried that Xu Wen is at the mercy of others, as for going to Huajie Willow Lane to play the trick of getting married, even the eldest wife didn't say anything, it's none of her business! As he walked, he said: "Tell the three housekeepers to keep an eye on the dots, especially the cash in the treasury, and ask them if there is a mistake." ”

"Hmm." Wang Hu and Li Qiu sent Xu Hao to the door of the inner house, watched Xu Hao being welcomed in by the mother-in-law, and turned around.

Li Qiu returned to his small courtyard, went into the house to greet his grandparents, and told the young master's words to the second housekeeper, Father Li. Father Li, who was sitting on the kang and eating a little wine, was very relieved, since his grandson followed the third young master, the whole person has changed, and he is no longer idle and confused in the past.

"Come, drink with me." Daddy Li smiled and beckoned.

I don't want Li Qiu to shake his head and say: "The young master strictly forbids the guards to eat and drink, I don't drink when I get drunk and make mistakes." ”

Father Li was not reluctant, he ate a glass of old wine and said meaningfully: "You are still too tender, do you think that the young master has to listen to your advice if he doesn't count in his heart?" Hehe! It's not just the young master, who doesn't look at it silently up and down the family? ”

Li Qiu scratched his head in confusion and said, "I don't understand. ”

"You don't have to understand." Father Li smiled, "Let the eldest young master mess around, in short, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future." ”

Let's say that Xu Hao went to Fushouju first, and asked the old lady to say goodbye, this ancient morning and dusk province could not be missing a day, but it was a dead rule. From the emperor to the Li people, as long as the children of filial piety to their parents do not dare to slack off for a day, regardless of the cold winter and summer heat, they have to come to visit their parents in the morning and evening. Filial piety has been deeply rooted in the bones of the Han people, and those who are not filial to their parents are pointed out by Wanfu. This seems to be a formality, but in fact, it is a state of Chinese etiquette, and it is not famous all over the world because of these details contained in etiquette such as filial piety? Even the small countries around it have changed their customs.

At this time, Mrs. Wang had just left, and the two wives of the Xiao family, the Liu family, Cui Tao and other young ladies were all accompanying the old lady to chat, and Xu Hao walked to the old lady's side to say hello.

The old lady looked happier tonight than yesterday, and hurriedly said to her grandson, "Your cousin has waited for half a year in vain, and now it's okay, the court will issue an order to set up the princes of each palace and canonize the princesses, and the princes are not allowed to privately accept second concubines and favorite concubines within this year." I want to see if your cousin can't enter the door of the palace. ”

Xu Hao actually knew about this for a long time, and at this moment, he pretended to be the first time he heard about it, and deliberately took it aback, which made the old lady smile.

Xu Hao didn't understand those things in the royal family before, Zhu Gaochi he was most familiar with was the eldest son, and he was born as the prince of the palace, there is no dispute, as long as Zhu Gaochi himself does not make a big mistake, even his father Zhu Di is not easy to change other sons to be the son, although Zhu Di has always planned to do so.

The son wants to inherit the title of prince, and he will be a prince for generations, unlike other brothers who have to decrease from generation to generation, until they become ordinary clansmen, at that time, except for a piece of money and status, they are basically no different from ordinary people.

Although Zhu Shangbing of the Qin Mansion is the eldest son, there is also an elder brother who is a concubine, whether it is a chief or a successor, this dynasty has been arguing about this endlessly, otherwise Zhu Yunwen would not have guarded against several uncles, and Zhu Di would not have robbed his nephew's throne so justifiably.

After Zhu Di raised his army, almost all the people in the world chose to watch, which has already shown that no matter who inherits the throne, both sides are reasonable, since it is the Zhu family's own private affairs, unrelated officials do not want to be involved, otherwise no matter how powerful Zhu Di is, it is unlikely that a corner of the world will confront the whole world.

Therefore, the establishment of the prince was to be discussed by the emperor and the imperial court, and then a solemn canonization ceremony was held, in which the prince's own opinion was of great importance. It is related to the inheritance of the throne, and the selection of the princess is very cautious, because during this period, parents will remind their valued sons, saying that your kid must not make any lace news recently, the province is known by the court, not only the daughter-in-law in your parents' picture will lose the concubine position, but even your kid will be abolished because of his private morality.

Of course, in fact, the later imperial court was nothing more than a formality, and the family affairs of the feudal princes' mansions in various places were too lazy to worry about it.

But having said that, throughout the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that the daughters-in-law of the Zhu family are marrying are quite good.

Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi both married wives when they were teenagers, and Xu Hao inquired, and they were both candidates personally selected by Zhu Yuanzhang, who loves to worry about idleness. Zhu Gaochi's daughter-in-law's surname is Zhang, she is very virtuous and knowledgeable, and now she is far away in the fiefdom, and it seems that she will enter Beijing soon.

There will be no change in the selection of the concubine in this world, if it was Zhu Gaochi himself, even if he destroyed the relationship between husband and wife, Xu Hao would have sent the eldest sister over to compete for favor. You must know that Zhu Gaochi is not only a prince, but also an emperor in the future.

The matter of the second sister Cui Tao has long been in the soup, she was originally married to be the second concubine, and the Zongren Mansion had to be recorded afterwards, because Zhu Qiaoqiao was about to get married, and it was not good to express any dissatisfaction with the Xu family's regret of the Qin Palace.

Xu Haoxin said that it was really better to be a human being, and her cousin Xiao Yuying was unlucky that she did not take responsibility in Zhu Shangbing, so she didn't dare to marry her back without telling her parents, and she happened to catch up with the Lan Yu case, and it dragged on to today.

At this time, the mother Xiao Shi's expression was complicated, and she said: "My mother's family is very anxious about this matter, and I sent people to the Qin Wangfu to inquire about the movement in three days, but I couldn't enter the gate. In the past few days, I came to our house and wanted to ask Hao'er to help her. After all, the girl is not young, and the relatives can't refuse, so the daughter-in-law plans to let Hao'er go. ”

The old lady smiled and didn't speak, and Xu Cuitao's eyes on the side suddenly narrowed, and her expression was a little unkind.

Xu Hao shook his head and said: "Mother, the Xiao family wants a name, and the name is exactly what the Qin Wangfu can't give recently, if you directly carry the sedan chair to the palace, the Qin Wangfu will definitely not stop it." ”

Xiao sighed: "The clansmen think so, they all say that with Yuying's stunning beauty, it is not a matter of time before she becomes famous?" Even the second sister-in-law was moved, but she didn't agree, saying that I, a young lady from the Jiangnan Wang family, how could I be like those women who were not careful, and I was sent to the palace quietly? What kind of face do you have in this life, do you still have to compete for favor with those lowly women? ”

The old lady snorted coldly: "The heart is higher than the sky, and she is still a little clever and calculating, if she really goes without skin and face, her life will be thinner than paper in the future." ”

Xiao Shi smiled and said: "Now my mother's family is also a little discouraged, and they are all scolding that girl behind her back that she knew this, so she shouldn't have secretly run away to seduce other people's sons that day." If you offend our family, don't say it, everyone who harms us will sit with us. It's not sending it now, it's not sending it either, seeing that she will be twenty years old next year, and she will become an old girl.

Xu Hao's heart jumped, and his heart said that next year, the eldest sister and the second sister will be nineteen years old, and the second sister will not care about her, will the eldest sister become an old girl if she doesn't marry?

Just as he was looking down and thinking about it, the old lady stared at his second daughter-in-law coldly, and said coldly: "It turns out that it is fake to come to Hao'er to ask Hao'er to come forward, and it is true that she wants to marry someone to our family." Say it yourself! Is your niece for the second child or for your baby son? ”

Xu Hao raised his head in a daze, and saw Xiao Shi calmly smiled: "Can the daughter-in-law's mother not know?" Since the events of that day, the daughter-in-law has no thoughts, not to mention that the girl is not a fairy, even if she is a fairy, she is not allowed to enter our door. ”

The old lady liked to hear this, and her expression immediately returned to normal, nodded and smiled: "That's how it should be." But after all, they are all relatives, no matter how selfish the girl is, she has grown up watching her since she was a child, so tomorrow Hao'er you will run in person, it is best to be able to do this, in short, you have to do it with all your heart, that is your cousin. ”

"Yes." Xu Hao didn't say a word, and agreed lightly.
