Chapter 103: The Shaw Clan's Ambition
Now Xu Hao already knows the family population of the Yan Mansion very well, but he is still confused about other palaces. Because it is none of his business, he naturally has no interest in inquiring about family affairs in other people's palaces. Besides, if you talk nonsense, the problem is very serious.
The eldest aunt, Princess Yan, and her husband and wife are also very competitive, and they have three sons and four daughters before and after, making the status of the wife unshakable.
In the past, Xu Hao, as a man, didn't like to ask about the interpersonal relationships in those families, and it wasn't until recently that he knew that Zhu Gaochi had a sister above him. It is rumored that the eldest cousin who has never met is almost carved out of the same mold as Princess Yan, and the mother and daughter have the same temperament, and they keep their duties at a young age, and never easily walk out of the Yan Palace.
She is one year older than Zhu Gaochi, but she has never been to the capital once, so few Xu family members have seen her in person, no wonder the family used to treat these cousins as if they did not exist, it is really too unexistent, such a conservative woman, Xu Hao has no interest in this cousin at all, too old-fashioned.
The eldest cousin was canonized as the lord of Yong'an County, and his name was Zhu Zhichun, and the following three sisters-in-law were Zhu Zhihe, the lord of Yongping, Zhu Zhijing, the lord of Ancheng, and Zhu Zhiming, the lord of Xianning.
With his mother and eldest sister as role models, it is conceivable that the other three county lords of the Yan Wang family have any temperaments? can be called a knowledgeable, well-behaved and sensible three-good county lord. The old lady has always hoped to marry one and come home, and has said it several times for this. However, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, has too much power in his hands, and there is an imperial father who loves to worry about his children, Zhu Di and his wife can't do anything about their children's marriages, and the old lady gradually gave up.
And Zhu Di's current youngest daughter, the biological mother of the county lord of Changning, is said to be someone else, whenever someone mentions the youngest sister, Zhu Gaoxu is disdainful, Xu Hao inferred from this,
Later, he vaguely heard that within a few years of the birth of the county lord of Changning, the biological mother died of a strange illness, which made him feel a little chilled, with Zhu Di's urine nature and deep love for his wife, it is not difficult to guess how the poor woman died.
Who Zhu Di's biological mother is has always been a mystery, even if Xu Hao has traveled for more than a year, he hasn't figured out what's going on, and the people in the palace seem to be very taboo about it, either saying that His Royal Highness King Yan was born to his mother-in-law, that is, the late Queen Ma was born, or he didn't know. And Zhu Di is Zhu Yuanzhang's most important son, and it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang also acquiesced to the identity of the fourth son's son-in-law.
And Xu Hao was not confused enough to inquire about these secret things, who was Zhu Di and what did it matter to him? Do you want to write a book about the life history of the Ming royal family to reveal the secrets of the gods? That's purely full of food, let future historians continue to speculate, and can also use this to deduce countless versions of wild history legends, and cheat more manuscript fees.
Zhu Gaochi was very calm about the family affairs of his sisters and sisters, and he didn't care much about it, and said with a smile that the horse personally selected by the saint must be both civil and military, and there must be nothing to say about the character or something, let's just wait for the good news to come.
This indifferent attitude made Xu Hao feel a little disappointed, and said in his heart that it was your own sister and sister, and it was chilling to be indifferent as a brother! But then I was relieved, in this world, except for my own love and worry, who doesn't let their parents call the shots? What can Zhu Gaochi do besides remain optimistic?
Zhu Gaochi knows too well that Xu Hao cares most about the stinky problems of his relatives, if it weren't for his indecision and nothing to do, why would Qinglian have not been able to marry him for a long time? At the moment, he smiled and said that compared to your eldest brother Xu Wenlai, the newly selected horse candidate will be much harder, you have to go to Beiping Yanwangfu to be a guest of honor for a few years, and accumulate a certain amount of merit before you can be allowed to get married.
Xu Hao disagreed with his point of view, saying that my eldest brother married the lord of the county, so he didn't pay so much attention. Besides, it seems to be very beautiful now, don't you know that the future sister-in-law is a vinegar jar. On the contrary, the county lords of your family have been educated since childhood, and they regard their husbands as heaven, and they will take the initiative to take the initiative to take their husbands and concubines in the future. But in the end, my sister-in-law is happier, at least she can find a way to monopolize her husband, and as for your sisters and sisters, they can only swallow the pain in their hearts silently.
Zhu Gaochi smiled at this, and said with a smile, What are you doing when a gentleman worries about the woman's family? Women are women, and it is enough to do a good job of raising offspring, and they can't overstep the etiquette law, and how do you know that people are not happy? It's really nosy.
Xu Hao rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, I don't have any common language with you, the second generation of Wang. You keep saying how much you like my eldest sister, but in fact, you are essentially a big **, just like your father and grandfather, while loving a woman deeply, it does not hinder reading the beauties in the world.
Xu Hao, who despised others, walked away at the moment, but forgot how he was essentially different from Zhu Gaochi?
For example, thousands of students are looking forward to the arrival of Zhang Bang today, it can be said that everyone is looking forward to it, and Xu Hao and Mu Ang are probably the most indifferent among them.
Although Xu Hao disliked Xu Wen's personality more and more, he still tried his best to take care of everything for him. Xu Qingtang is also very concerned about his nephew's family affairs, and he has to make his own decisions in everything, so the father and son are busy all day long, and all the female relatives in the inner house are also busy.
On the other hand, Xu Wen's father, Xu Yaozu, has been seriously ill since he was dismissed, and the whole person has become depressed since then, only caring about hiding in the small courtyard with his concubine Meiwen drinking and having fun day and night, and indifferent to his son's wedding.
The second Xu Ji also didn't care about his brother's marriage, and went out early every morning under the pretext of visiting friends and returned home very late. As for Xu Wen himself, he didn't ask anything before, and let the family worry about him with peace of mind, but now he is hiding in the house to recuperate from his injuries and stay at home.
For this reason, the old lady was angry at every turn, scolding that if it weren't for Xu Hao's father and son, would this marriage still be done? I have never seen such a heartless father and son, in short, Changfang's performance is really disappointing, and Xu Song, who has no conscience, doesn't even plan to come back to help with his brother's marriage, so don't come back in the future.
At night, Xiao couldn't help but get angry at her husband: "Hao'er is honest and honest and just a fool, even you are a fool." People don't care about themselves, what kind of heart are you? Is it not true that our family is all slaves of the longhouse? I'm going to have to be by you stupid father and son. ”
Xu Qingtang hurriedly kneaded his wife's shoulders and said with a smile: "The family doesn't talk about the two families!" The eldest brother is getting depressed and not to mention it, but when he is fine, he still ignores the trivial matters at home? I don't worry about who will worry about it, Hao'er is my son, his father is busy, how can he stand by? Your son is so sensible, you should be happy. ”
Xiao Shi knew that what her husband said was good, but she was unwilling to be aggrieved, and she twisted her head and let her husband comfort her, but the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and her eyes were red with anger. repeatedly said why the long house holds the power of the family, and said one thing. And your own family has to live by watching other people's eyes, and work hard at the same time?
In the past, the children were still young, and the husband was idle, so Xiao didn't have the mood or energy to care about the others. Now it's different, as the husband begins to run his own industry, even if the whole family moves out alone, it is enough to worry about food and clothing, and the baby son often brings her great surprises, since the husband and son are so competitive, not to mention that the Xiao family is not willing to be subservient, even if any woman, will definitely be unwilling to pay silently for her own family, but no return results.
The Xiao family didn't think about splitting up the family, at least the old man and the old lady didn't dare to think about it when they were alive, and the real famous family would never split up until they had to do so, unless it was a dominant family or a child in the family who had to rise strongly and had to be separated. Otherwise, even if the children and grandchildren are marginalized from generation to generation, and gradually become the collateral children who are not valued by the family, at least they can rely on the family to ensure three meals and clothing, and they can go to the clan to study and participate in the imperial examination to change their fate.
And the most important thing is that the power in the family is uncertain, who will kill the deer! Xiao Shi pondered that his son now has a very high status in the eyes of the old lady, even if he can't compare with the most favored eldest and fourth for the time being, but sooner or later, the old lady will be able to appreciate the benefits of her son, and at that time, the people below will naturally know who to turn to.
When he had the support of the old lady, he took advantage of the situation to take over the power of the housekeeper, and with the confused nature of the sister-in-law, this matter was not difficult to do. Once you have the power in your hands and your son has a big future in the future, it is not difficult to let the second room and the long house fight against each other from now on, and after a long time, can the eldest brother and sister-in-law and even the two nephews still compete with their own family? Hmph, don't dream, even if you are born with a name, I want my grandchildren to be no worse than others when they are born.
Xiao Shi sneered, and said in his heart that he should be wary of his younger siblings, once the third official becomes bigger and bigger, the power in the family may fall into her hands. By the way, I have to secretly find a helper, Hao'er has a good relationship with the county lord, but I can use this to bring her over and join forces against my younger siblings.
Not to mention that the Xiao family began to have wishful thinking, Xu Hao, who had been tired all day in the garden, sat next to his sisters, and had a headache.
It turned out that as soon as Xiao Yushi came back, she inexplicably proposed to go home, which made everyone very stunned, Xu Qinglian and Xu Hongye repeatedly asked the reason, but Xiao Yushi just lowered her head and didn't speak.
Xu Hao was pulled over, and he naturally didn't know that since the whispers between Mu Ningxue and Hongye were overheard by Xiao Yushi, the trace of anticipation for many days was gone, and he was disheartened, where was he embarrassed to continue to stay in the Xu family without a name or a point?
Xiao Yushi's temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she was abused by her stepmother in every way in the past, and she always insisted on not begging for help, if she hadn't inadvertently found her injured hand by Xu Hao, I'm afraid she would still endure it silently until the moment she got married.
But Xiao Yushi is strong and assertive, the question is who is Xu Hao you are facing? Since you don't tell the reason, I won't let you go, and if you don't accept it, you have to admit it.
At that moment, Xu Hao said in an unquestionable tone: "No, there is no need to discuss this matter in the future, I am your cousin, and your father and mother are gone, so you have to listen to me for everything, okay, just leave it at that." ”
Xiao Yushi, who was shocked and helpless and very aggrieved, suddenly felt a trace of sweetness and anger in her heart, and she was confused for a while, and Xu Hao left in a dashing manner.
