Chapter 186: The Former Prime Minister's Family

Unexpectedly, going around and around, the family was reunited again, and Xu Hao was even a little caught off guard.

Obviously, everything is caused by power, which makes Xu Hao's view of world affairs change a little, and his heart hardens. But Xue Wen and others, who cherish the charcoal in the snow, are still the same for Cui Tao and other sisters, they are the weaklings of this era, and it is not easy to be able to muster up the courage to choose themselves.

Having said that, after this toss, Xu Hao's status in his family has improved significantly, and no one dares to take it as a deaf ear when expressing his opinions, if he insists on moving to Beiping in the future, he should be able to convince his parents and relatives.

This is undoubtedly the biggest gain, fully achieving the original goal of betraying the family. In view of this, Xu Hao's Jihua made adjustments.

Speaking of the unpredictable things in the world, it is amazing that the relatives of the Xu family were reunited, but one of the three elders in the court, Mr. Liu, had an accident, and now the mansion that is rewarded is actually the son-in-law of Mr. Liu, Zhao Mian, the secretary of the household department, who was executed for corruption and bribery by his colleagues and subordinates.

Several families are thriving and several are withering, and after two years of ups and downs, Xu Hao has a feeling of seeing all the vicissitudes of the world, which makes him cherish the ordinary life he has now.

Because of this, Mr. Liu resigned and returned to his hometown, Xu Hao had little sympathy for him, probably Mr. Liu had been an official of the previous dynasty in his early years. No matter how the government and the opposition praised him for his generosity and straightforwardness, and called himself 'Tan Tan Weng', Xu Hao classified him as a traitor, not to mention that he ran out to be an official at the age of 73, which shows that he has no character at all.

Princess Lin'an said that it was in disrepair for a long time, in order to avoid bad luck, she invited the palace craftsmen to repair it, and divided the entire mansion into two, and the princess's mansion occupied about one-third of the area to the east.

The old lady was afraid of increasing the burden on the second room, so she took out the body she had accumulated over the years and dismissed most of the old people around her, in fact, these families were already full of children and grandchildren. has land, houses and industries, and there is no need to rely on the Xu family to live for a long time.

Some clansmen moved in with their families, Xu Hao didn't want to take them in, but after thinking about it, he didn't object, and let his parents come forward to settle down.

Most of the families under the three rooms went to work with the three old men and his wife, and the aunt and his brothers and sisters also went, Xu Song selected more than a dozen families to follow into Beijing, and the rest stayed to take care of the family.

As for the second room, it seems that his vitality is greatly damaged, and he has gone a lot of people, but in fact, the carrion on the parasitic body has been removed. The rest of the family experienced a period of poverty together. supported all the way, and the previous grievances between each other disappeared.

Father Li's whole family has proved his loyalty, and now he has become the chief housekeeper of Xufu, the eldest son Li Da has become the second housekeeper, Li Er has become the external manager, Li Laosan is responsible for taking care of the silk shop, and Li Laosi is responsible for taking care of the fields.

Xu Hao Jihua sent a few Li Qiu brothers to Yanwangfu as military attachΓ©s, life and death depend on their lives, wealth and nobility are in the sky, and if they survive, they can become the heroes of the Battle of Jingjing. Perhaps a knighthood will be bestowed to bless the entire family and future generations.

Zhu Qiaoqiao, who came with a large dowry, solved the use of money in one fell swoop, and was willing to spend as a sister-in-law, and was willing to use it as a brother-in-law. Others could only smile and sigh bitterly.

Xu Hao knew that his sister-in-law's generosity was only temporary, and after he became familiar with the environment, he would definitely try to get his hands on the power of the family. Xu Hao is optimistic about this, because now the family is up to him. The sister-in-law can only control the situation by clinging to herself with all her heart, and to put it bluntly, women can only rely on men to live.

The old lady lived in a compound renamed Senjudo. Xu Qingtang and his wife live in a small courtyard not far from each other, which is convenient for morning and dusk.

In the past, Zhao Mian was worthy of being a talented person, and he repaired the garden of his home when he had nothing to do, and there were many wives and concubines, and there were many houses, which was cheaper for later generations.

Today, Xu Hao specially took three days off to accompany his sisters to the garden, everyone had to choose their own accommodation, everyone was particularly interested, Xu Song was going to live in the barracks recently, not at home.

The minister's mansion is basically next to the prosperous Qinhuai River, the wall is five feet high, the first is a painted gatehouse, several pavilions are around, standing on it, you can see the lively beauty of the Qinhuai River. The inner flower and tree garden platform is endless, which is more than the garden of the Xu family in the past.

Rockery real water, green bamboo and pine, all the way to the scenery everywhere. The maids were tired of walking, and they were playing on the grass one by one, or two or three people walked hand in hand into the path to find a secluded visit, or leaned on the railing and swam the golden scales in the water of the pond with red beans.

Xu Cuitao loves Huang Ju and Trifolium Peach, and chose the stacked cui building everywhere in Shujin, Luzhu has always been good friends with the second sister, seeing that there is a wooden incense shed connected to the tea shelf in front of the building, and there is a water pavilion built of bamboo on one side, he tilted his head and thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Xu Hao felt that this place was rare, and said to the green bamboo: "I'll let people plant some cold-resistant gentleman's bamboo around it, and bully the snow doctor's pine, okay?" ”

Luzhu showed a smile and nodded slightly, Hongye took her little hand, and said pityingly: "You can come and sleep with me every few days, okay?" Please. ”

"Hmm." The thin green bamboo smile became sweeter and sweeter.

After admiring the Stacked Green Building for a while, Xu Cuitao left the maid and the maid to clean it, and the group continued to walk forward along the corridor. After crossing a stone arch bridge, but see a sparkling small lake, water birds soaring, mandarin ducks leisurely in the water and amphibious, a sluice across the lake is connected to the Qinhuai River, several small boats are moored on the shore.

On the river surface, there is a water pavilion named Linxia Pavilion, surrounded by lotus and lotus buckets, cool and pleasant. Xu Qinglian said thoughtfully: "Cui Tao's residence is to deal with autumn, and here is summer, it seems that there is spring and winter." ”

Xu Hao inexplicably remembered the poems of all the flowers after Sanchun went, and his mood was a little lower, so he cherished the time in front of everyone living together.

Xu Cuiyun said with a smile: "I live here, I can go fishing by boat every day, but there are inevitably more mosquitoes." ”

Everyone had no opinion, and Xu Cuiyun walked over with two maids and two mothers-in-law. Everyone continued to walk, passing through the peony garden that exuded a unique fragrance of flowers, the terrain suddenly became narrow, and the rows of stalagmites on both sides were like pagodas, but when you saw the pine wall and bamboo path in front, you could vaguely see the continuous houses located behind.

Everyone chuckled at Xu Hao, and Hongye clapped his hands and said, "Such a secluded place is naturally my brother's residence." ”

Qingwen and Musk Yue immediately ran over, and the others followed after seeing this, Xu Hao felt very satisfied at a glance, the banana palm reflected in the Qushui Square Pond, the sunflowers bloomed in the flower garden, the yard was very spacious, and the houses with unique shapes were completely wooden structures. The footprint is huge.

"That's where I live." Xu Hao's legs and feet were a little sore, and he hurriedly made a decision, intending to stay and be lazy.

Zhulan and the others were very satisfied, and they all went into the house to look around and discuss where to live. Hongye had to pull Xu Hao away, and he had the strength to go all the way without stopping.

A whole hour passed, Xu Qinglian chose a peach and plum Zhengyan, a spring embroidery building on the side of peony flowers, named Tingyu Guanlan; Xu Cuiliu took a fancy to the Tibetan Spring Pavilion with white plum and jade and moon window snow caves. I felt that the name was vulgar and changed its name to Frost Snow Zhai.

Xu Song couldn't live in the garden because he had a room girl by his side, and he reasoned that Xu Hao shouldn't either, but he didn't say anything when he thought that his sisters were about to get married, and with his current unique position in the family, no one felt that it was inappropriate.

Hongye has a lot of eyes, and her business is getting bigger and bigger, and she urgently needs manpower, so she chose an exquisite house close to Xu Hao's residence. There are some begonias and plantains all around, but it is very vulgarly named Jinxi Pavilion, which can be said to be the heart of making money.

In addition, such as the original rose pavilion, the nesting of purple swallows in the Yanyou Hall. The highest Woyun Pavilion, the Jade Snow Garden built with white marble, and the Hanyan Hall used for eating and meditating, enshrine the Jade Zhenguan of the world's masters. There are many other pavilions and pavilions, which will be omitted here.

Xu Hao sighed frequently along the way, this is the stinky wine and meat of Zhumen, and there are frozen bones on the road. The dignified and second-class Shangshu, the mansion is so magnificent, I thought it was an ordinary house, after this visit, I knew that the Xu family was not only far inferior, but also compared with the Wei Mansion not far away, which was known as the first garden in Jinling, it was not much more than that, it can be seen that I don't know how many people have been embezzled over the years, and Zhao Mian is really innocent.

Later, when I chatted with Princess Lin'an, I learned that this is the home of the old prime minister Li Shanchang, no wonder the princess, who is the daughter-in-law, chose to settle here, and she was afraid of touching the scene and hurting so much that she lived in the periphery.

Comrade Zhu really loves his eldest daughter deeply, but he was occupied by his own magpie's nest, Xu Hao felt a little uncomfortable thinking about it, and then thought that this was fate. And Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded Li Shanchang's former residence to himself, and it is estimated that he also has a grateful heart in it, and he has the faint intention of entrusting his daughter's family to his care.

In the evening, Xu Hao accompanied Princess Lin'an to finish eating, hugged Li Meng to play, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw Xiangyu sitting in the pavilion, listening attentively to an old woman dressed as a Taoist priest teaching medical skills.

Li Meng's wet nurse is in her early Chinese New Year's Eve, a very beautiful woman, her husband's surname Jin and her family are both Koreans, she entered the palace at the age of eight and has been serving Princess Lin'an, she is very familiar with the palace, pointing to the old woman and exclaiming: "Isn't this Wu Si medicine in the palace?" ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "Now it's not the medicine, but the worship elder of our family." ”

"Oh my God, that's great." Aunt Jin said excitedly: "Wu Si's medicine skills are exquisite, I don't know how many lives have been saved." It's a pity that the queen was implicated after her death, and was demoted to the Huanyi Bureau, and then she didn't know the news, which made everyone in the palace worry. ”

Xu Hao knew a lot about this, and explained: "His Royal Highness King Yan was seriously ill when he was a child, and he was treated by Wu Si Yao, so he took her out and placed her in the Yanwang Mansion. ”

Aunt Jin hurriedly stepped forward to meet, Wu Siyao was a little surprised, and after a conversation, she realized that the beautiful young woman in front of her was Xiao Jinxi, who was wearing pigtails, and she was very happy to see the old man, so she went to meet Princess Lin'an with her wet nurse.

Xu Hao teased Li Meng and said, "How do I think your nurse is like a person, a foreign star named Kim Hee-sun." ”

Li Mengjiao asked didily: "What is a star?" ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "The star is a famous actor in the capital, don't look at the ninth-rate industry now, and once turn over as a serf in the future, it will be beautiful." ”

"What is that serf?" A question mark appeared in Li Meng's delicate eyes.

Xu Hao's smile faded, and he said: "The serfs are the Han people who are now oppressed by the surrounding aliens, they don't know how to farm, so they rob the Han people and force them to grow food, and whoever dares to resist will be killed." ”

Li Meng looked very scared, leaned on Xu Hao's shoulder, and whispered, "Can you go and save them?" ”

Xu Hao's eyes were very cold, but his tone was as gentle as water: "If I have the chance, I will definitely save them." ”

"I'll wait for you to come back."

"Well, that's a deal."
