There is a very inconspicuous tofu alley near the Qinhuai River, and there is a house in the alley where Lord Zhao lived when he was a Hanlin, because Lord Zhao later made a fortune, he returned the house to his father-in-law, Mr. Liu.

And Mr. Liu is a highly prestigious old man in Jiangnan Shilin, who has been a civil official for half his life in the previous dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty set the world, he concentrated on writing in his seclusion, and later at the age of seventy-three years he was recommended by the minister Ru Yu to enter the court with "writing application", and served as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy for a long time.

Lord Liu is respected as one of the three elders of the imperial court, Hongwu is 18 years old, and now Hongwu is 28 years old, 83 years old, Lao Ji Fu Fang is still full of spirit, and has a huge reputation inside and outside the court.

There are two halls on the street, with a portal aisle in the middle and a small courtyard in it; There is a small shadow wall behind the second door, and after bypassing it, there are three halls, two west wings and an east kitchen room, and there is a small garden behind the house.

This is the first time that Mr. Liu entered Beijing, he bought it, and later gave it to his son-in-law Mr. Zhao and his wife to live for a few years, and now Liu's mansion has bought the back half of the street, and the house was rented by Princess Lin'an, who returned to Beijing in a low-key manner.

It is said that Xu Hao went to the nearest post station to stay that day, and before dawn, he instructed Shi Feng to make a move against Xu Wen. At that time, Shi Feng agreed without hesitation, and accompanied Xu Hao into Beijing after he succeeded, and Xu Hao pondered and chose to come over again and again to join Princess Lin'an.

Princess Lin'an was able to return to Beijing, among which Xu Hao had a share of the credit, and like Yan Xuexue, she felt that she was also a fallen person at the end of the world, so she immediately took him in.

The Xu family's pursuers returned in vain, and the so-called big hidden in the city, in the capital with a population of one million, finding someone is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Xu Hao lived in an empty house in the front yard like this, he didn't want to disturb the widow princess who was not rich in money, so he asked some neighbors around him to help clean up, and bought a dental bed and mahogany wardrobe on the street, a new red lacquer table and two carved chairs; In addition, there are pots and pans, cooking brooms, bedding, miscellaneous and other things. I hired a few idlers to carry him back.

The ancients Yun Junzi was far away from the kitchen, and the annoying Xu Hao was about to build a stove room, but was persuaded by the princess to ask him to go over to eat together.

Princess Lin'an naturally has so many relatives that it is outrageous, but her husband's family is defeated and as a widow, she does not want to have anything to do with her relatives, and the Li family is outrageous.

Therefore, the princess's family of four welcomed Xu Hao, a rare guest, and Xu Hao was also a royal prince. There's nothing to shy away from each other.

Xu Hao called Zhu Yuanzhang grandpa that day, because he simply called the princess aunt, because he was the first among the aunt and sisters, well, he was embarrassed to call him aunt.

The princess has the eldest son Li Fang, the second son Li Mao and the young daughter named Xiaocao, probably because the Li family suddenly overturned, the deceased horse Li Qi hopes that her daughter can be like a weed that is not afraid of the eyes of the world, and grows up tenaciously.

Xu Hao likes the innocent and cute grass who is only six years old, and named her Li Meng. When the princess heard this, she thought it was good, and so she decided.

Xu Hao is very safe in the princess's mansion, and no one has the courage to dare to make trouble, as long as he is not afraid of the nine clans being punished. Even Shi Feng didn't dare to come over.

More than 20 members of the Li family all rely on Princess Lin'an's two portions of money, one is the thousand-stone grain produced by the Huangzhuang in a year, and the other is the 200 yuan of treasure money issued by the Zongren Mansion every month.

Except for the many personal contacts and daily expenses between the royal family, there is not much left in a year. Therefore, Princess Lin'an lives very economically, and her two sons are about to grow up, so she wants to save money for her daughter-in-law to the brothers.

Xu Hao doesn't like Li Fang, the seventeen-year-old boss this year. Maybe he enjoyed luxury when he was a child, but the habits of the noble young master have not changed, if it weren't for his mother's strict control, he would definitely be a group of rich slaves and a master who caused trouble.

The second Li Mao is as his name suggests, very polite, 14 years old this year; He was still young when the family had an accident, and he grew up in a ruined family environment, and he was sensible and loved to read since he was a child, and was pinned on by his mother.

Xu Hao learned through Shi Feng's mouth one after another that his parents and Changfang had moved to Weijia Village to settle down, and his sister-in-law was locked up, knowing that it was time to fight back.

On this day, Princess Lin'an said sadly: "Why did the second brother die of illness when he was so good?" It's really unpredictable. ”

In the house, Xu Hao took out the new clothes in the package, handed them to the little maid, and said: "I heard that the king of Qin sent troops to quell the rebellion, and after returning from victory, he contracted a sudden illness and died. ”

Princess Lin'an sighed: "My younger brothers have been practicing martial arts since they were children, and their bodies and bones have always been good, and they rarely get sick. Alas! Unexpectedly, the prince went to middle age because of illness, and the second brother was the same, the father must have been very sad, and he really wanted to go into the palace to visit his old man, and by the way, he also brought the children over. ”

At this time, Li Meng was wearing a grape-colored yarn shirt, light goose yellow side by side, and walked over with a smile, Xu Hao's eyes lit up, and he praised: "It's so beautiful." ”

After speaking, he took out two gold-inlaid jade hairpins from his arms, inlaid with pearls, and beckoned to Li Meng.

"For me?" Li Meng smiled sweetly, looking forward to it.

"And a new set of clothes and two hairpins are yours."

Xu Hao smiled, pulled up Li Meng's long black hair with his own hands, and buttoned the hairpin horizontally, Li Meng's two eyes turned into curved crescents, showing two small dimples.

Seeing this, Princess Lin'an said helplessly: "I spent money again, and Xiaocao's clothes couldn't fit it." ”

Xu Hao smiled: "Then I'll buy the most haode wardrobe and come back." ”

"You spoil her too much, I can't afford to keep it like this, so I'll just send it to you." Princess Lin'an shook her head, helpless.

Xu Hao hugged the cute heartbreaking little girl and said with a smile: "Auntie, let's make a decision, and the girl will be mine in the future." ”

Princess Lin'an was stunned and said, "It's just talking, can you really do it?" You're a big spender yourself. ”

"So what? I promise to raise the grass for nothing. Xu Hao raised Li Meng with both hands, and the funny girl giggled, "Xiaocao, would you like to live with me?" ”

Li Mengjiao said drippingly: "Don't, I want to accompany my mother." ”

Princess Lin'an immediately covered her mouth and chuckled in satisfaction, and Xu Hao smacked her lips and said: "Bai bought you so many good things, they all say that girls are outgoing, but you are different." ”

Li Meng blinked her delicate eyes and said persistently: "I want to accompany my mother, but I also like you." ”

"That's enough." Xu Hao put her down and put away his smile, "Auntie heard that two days are Ouyang Concubine's birthday, are you going to a banquet in the evening?" ”

Princess Lin'an said lightly: "People haven't even sent invitations, how can I be embarrassed to be cheeky?" ”

Xu Hao said: "I received a wedding card, but not in the princess's mansion, but on the Qinhuai River. ”

Princess Lin'an said: "Ouyang Lun is too flamboyant, eating flowers and wine on the Qinhuai River, isn't it blatantly not giving face to his wife, so he is not afraid of angering his father?" ”

Xu Hao said meaningfully: "It's fake that he eats flower wine, and it's true to lure the snake out of the hole." By the way, I will ask someone to send a letter to Zhang Niangniang at night, and as soon as Niangniang sets a date, aunt, you will take Xiaocao into the palace. ”

"Really?" Princess Lin'an was overjoyed and kissed her daughter's face nestled in her arms.

Xu Hao chuckled, "Really." ”

That night, the news that Xu Hao had contacted the palace for the first time in several months moved with the wind.

In the Mansion of the Duke of Wei, Xu Da sat leisurely in the water pavilion open on all sides, looking at ease admiring the pond full of lotuses. On the opposite meadow, a group of girls were fishing and playing.

Xu Zengshou stood quietly behind him and said in a low voice: "News came last night that Xu Hao was going to send Princess Lin'an into the palace. ”

Xu Da showed a hint of a smile, "This kid finally can't help it." ”

Xu Zengshou said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin died strangely and violently, and the Holy Lord was furious for this, except for Concubine Deng, the biological mother of the son, all the concubines and slaves were executed. He also ordered the King of Jin to enter Beijing quickly, and obviously began to suspect King Yan. ”

Xu Da smiled and said: "Zhu Di is the person who is in charge of good luck, so you don't have to worry about him." What the old man is most curious about at the moment is whether Xu Hao's son is loyal to the family, or loyal to the emperor, or loyal to Zhu Di? ”

Xu Zengshou was a little confused, and said: "He rebelled against the family, and he hasn't contacted Bixia or his brother-in-law for so long, but it is conceivable that he is only loyal to himself, either he will kill him by Ouyang Lun's hand, or I will clean up the portal with my own hands, and my Xu family in the province has been frequently ridiculed recently." ”

Xu Da thought for a while, and said slowly: "This son is very patient, if it weren't for Xu Yaozu and his wife's repeated persecution, he would definitely continue to send a low schedule, and he would have been patiently waiting for the old man or Bixia to die, and then he would go to Zhu Di without worries." Now that he has swaggered into the palace with Princess Lin'an in broad daylight, who will dare to kill him then? ”

Xu Zengshou said disdainfully: "If you don't care about your brother-in-law, it's easy to kill him." ”

Xu Da said categorically: "You immediately send someone to inform him, and say that the old man wants to see him in person, but you want to see if he comes, or not." ”

Xu Zengshou had murderous intent in his heart, and sneered: "Since he personally refused not to be a brocade guard, and beat his elders, it can be seen that he is determined to draw a line with our family, such a wolf-hearted person, why should his father give him a chance?" ”

Xu Da frowned and said: "I wish there were many people who died in the old man, and he was not one of them." In fact, you don't understand what is going on, even the old man is just speculating. The old man can't die because he has nothing on his mind.

That's it, you send someone to tell him, don't follow Princess Lin'an into the palace, then his sister-in-law will be released, so that he will continue to be a low-key person. ”

Xu Zengshou said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, can you make your words clear?" In the end, does our family support my brother-in-law or Zhu Yunwen? You are always patient, he Xu Hao is patient, but can Bixia be patient? ”

Xu Da suddenly smiled: "It's okay if someone is impatient." ”

In the afternoon, Xu Hao received Shi Feng's message and sat in the room thinking hard.

Xu Da obviously asked himself to continue to watch from the sidelines and sit back and watch the next evolution of the situation, which is also the most in line with his expectations, and doing nothing is the best choice.

It's a pity that the changes in the family are unexpected, and the family has come out, is it necessary to endure it? (To be continued......)
