After the Ruyi Fang incident, Xu Hao said that he publicly declared that Yang Qian'er was the Jinling Oiran, and without waiting for any reaction from all parties, he directly led people to smash the door of the Jiao Si Fang, and then forcibly bought the slave status of Li Tang's second daughter, and after gathering Jinling Sanyan in his painting boat, he actually ordered Li Dai'er and Tang Chu'er to be Yang Qian'er's personal maids.

That's not all, Xu Hao simply wiped out the twenty most famous red sisters on both sides of the Qinhuai River and fifty Qing people, and they all became maids on the painting boat.

This move immediately spread to the world, and it can be called the first big high-roller in the history of Qinhuai Qinglou, and the thousands of dollars spent by Shenma seem insignificant in comparison.

The most talked-about thing is that Yang Qian'er was redeemed for freedom, Xu Hao actually gave all seventy-two stunning beauties to her, and left without any nostalgia after the fact.

After this incident, Yang Qian'er's fame is in full swing, and there is no one on the Qinhuai River who can match it, and she has become the top brand of Jinling without dispute. And Xu Hao's courage also made a cadre of royal family children and eunuchs have to be convinced.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned the whole ins and outs, he was furious and called the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen to reprimand him, for the aging Zhu Yuanzhang, he couldn't tolerate anyone daring to provoke the dignity of the emperor, who didn't know that Xu Hao was the emperor's confidant? It depends on the owner to beat the dog, what does it mean to scold the lost dog in person? It was ordered that Yang Wen and the other three be beaten with forty military sticks, removed from their official positions and titles, and sent to Beiping Mansion to make meritorious contributions.

Of course, the two overlords of the royal family did not get a good deal, and they were recruited to the Qianqing Palace and scolded, and one of them received sixty leather whips. It was the crackling sound of the whip of the executioner, and after the beating, the brothers talked and laughed as if they were fine.

In a blink of an eye, autumn turned to winter, Zhang Xin and his mother Jiang of the Zhang family in Beiping sent a couple of housekeepers to the capital to give New Year's gifts. The man's name is Han Li, he is Chinese New Year's Eve years old and nicknamed Han Mazi, both father and son are servants of the Zhang family, Han Li is honest and kind, and he is used to running around all year round. And her wife's maiden name is Bai, she is from a small family in Beiping, she is only twenty years old this year, and she has only been married to Han Li for three years.

Because this time I went out to go to the most prosperous capital in the world, Han Mazi, who loved his daughter-in-law, took his wife with me.

Last year, Jiang's mother and son were very grateful for the warm hospitality of the Zhang family, and later went to Beiping with the old lady and other Xu family members with Yanwang Zhu Di, and in October, Xu Qinglian, the eldest lady of the Xu family, married Zhang Fu, and the Xu and Zhang families became in-laws.

Zhang Xin regarded Xu Hao as a friend and often exchanged letters, but his mother and son were not very wealthy. Therefore, he simply sent his family members to give Xu Hao gifts, as the so-called goose feather gift for thousands of miles is light.

The couple first wandered around the capital for four or five days, but the entanglement was all spent, and then they finally went out of the city and finally found out about Xiaojia Village, and came all the way in a mule, coming from the north without fear of the cold winter of Jinling.

The couple secretly looked at the six men in flying bullfighting costumes standing in front of the three gates of the Xu Mansion, and knew that it was difficult to enter the main gate, so they came to the west gate through the guidance of the villagers.

The west gate is close to the stables, and few people enter and leave on weekdays. There were several men standing in front of the door, and the couple found a big tree where no one was there and changed into new clothes.

came out dressed decently, Han Mazi led the mule behind, and Bai Shi carried the basket in front. stepped forward and said politely: "Dare to ask if the three happy and four happy girls in the house are not there?" ”

A little maid immediately pointed to the young steward next to him and smiled: "This is the man who is Sister Sixi, listening to the sister-in-law's accent, it seems that he came from the north, right?" ”

Bai Shi said in surprise: "The girl who dares to love Sixi has already married, and I can't hide it, the slave family is a descendant of the Zhang family in Beiping Mansion." It's the husband of the eldest lady of your house, and this is my man. ”

Han Mazi grinned innocently when he heard this, stroking the mane of the mule.

The Sixi man smiled and arched his hand: "Since they are all their own family." Big brother and sister-in-law, please come in, what is the matter, wait until you enter the house and see the. ”

In this way, the couple was welcomed into the Xu family, and a few servants helped to take down two bags full of northern specialties, and a groom led the mules to the stables.

The Sixi man led the couple to a clean and elegant courtyard, and invited Han Mazi to the west wing room to have a drink, and Bai was led by the little girl to the main room to meet Sixi.

Sixi who came out took a closer look, and vaguely remembered that she had met a few times when the eldest lady got married last year, and they had eaten and chatted together at that time, Sixi had a good memory, and immediately smiled: "Yo, isn't this Beiping Han's sister-in-law?" Hurry up, please take a seat. ”

"I've seen Miss Sixi, but I don't know that you are married, it's really a sin and a sin." Bai smiled shyly.

"Look, sister-in-law is so polite, I can't tell you from so far away, where is the sin?" Sixi smiled and pushed the brazier forward, poured a bowl of fragrant boiling tea, and gave the hot brocade to Bai, "It's not easy to come to the capital on this cold day, it's not too late to warm up and talk." ”

Bai Shi hurriedly nodded and picked up the tea with both hands, his heart was warm, and Sixi lowered his head and glanced at the sack sent in by the little maid, knowing its meaning, and asked, "Why do you have to give New Year's gifts when you travel so far?" Sister-in-law should be planning to meet the third young master and the third young grandmother, right? ”

Bai Shixi said: "It's best to see yourself, if you can't do it, it's okay, even if you see the grandmother, it's finally worth the trip." ”

Sixi said: "It's different if others can't see you Han sister-in-law, I dare to pack a ticket The third grandmother will definitely be able to see you, and the third young master will definitely see you as long as he is at home." ”

Bai Shi stood up happily and said, "Great, then I bother you to help spread the news." ”

Sixi said: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, the rules of the capital, all the guests come, they all go to the room of the weeping flower door to see the housekeepers and grandmothers, and then they go in to pass the word, this can't be messed up, sister-in-law, you didn't go through the door, right?" ”

Bai Shi smiled bitterly: "How dare the public standing in front of the door come forward to ask?" Didn't I find out about Simon, and I happened to see your family? ”

Sixi smiled: "Those are all the personal companions of the third young master, there is no need to be afraid in the future." That's it, I didn't have the duty to do today, since it is for the sake of sister-in-law Han, let's make an exception and take a look, if you can't do it, sister-in-law, you will stay first. ”

Bai knew that Sixi's words were not deliberately contrived, because people didn't expect anything from him to be filial at all, but he still took out a bag of dried mushrooms, and Sixi smiled and accepted it.

Here Sixi walked to the dresser and dressed up, put on a gray squirrel cloak when he was done, and instructed the little girl before leaving: "Bring some snacks and fruits, I don't have the eyesight to see it." ”

After Sixi left, Bai ate tea and munched melon seeds and chatted with the little girl. Ask this, ask that, and inquire about the Xu family.

After a while, Sixi walked into the house and said with a smile: "I said that the third grandmother must be seen, and it just so happens that the eldest grandmother is also over there, please go in immediately." ”

"Great." The Bai family was pleasantly surprised, she wanted to see the master of the Xu family firstly because she was entrusted by the old lady, and secondly, to go back and boast to the family, and then she heard that the third young master of the Xu family was the most generous, how could she go to Baoshan empty?

At that moment, after Bai sorted out his clothes, he came out, and Sixi explained as he walked: "Let's take a shortcut at the northwest corner gate." The grandmothers of the province waited impatiently. ”

All the way through the hall to a wall more than two people high, there is a corner door carved with dark flowers, Sixi to the doorkeeper to check today's waist card.

Although it is a quiet winter now, the garden is still full of scenery, every place is a wide variety of stacked stones, water, flowers and trees, small bridges and flowing water peaks and loops turn to have a hole in the sky, the strange peaks are stacked and sometimes small and large and sometimes magnificent, especially a rockery waterfall as high as four or five zhang high is very shocking to Bai's.

This made the Bai family, who was not familiar with the Jiangnan garden style, soon unable to distinguish the south, east and west, and only knew that there were pavilions and pavilions everywhere. Corridor of green trees.

Sixi did not explain that in the winter, Xu Hao and his wife moved to a newly renovated courtyard dominated by bricks and tiles, not far from the bamboo garden. As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, they saw a hall full of halls and pavilions, and they were preparing to set up lunch, and Zhu Qiaoqiao had a big show. It was a full yard of maids and daughters-in-law carrying red lacquer trays and other things covered with silver covers, walking back and forth non-stop.

Sixi led Bai Shi into the side door, and after passing through the hall to the inner courtyard, he felt warmer than outside. Under the eaves of the upper house, there were three or four maids dressed in red and green who nodded and greeted Sixi.

Lifting the thick red felt curtain, Bai carefully followed Sixi across the threshold, and did not dare to look up at the decorations in the house. I only know that it is bright and spacious, warm as spring, and filled with an indescribable fragrance of flowers.

Walking to the East Warm Pavilion, Bai Shi didn't wait for Sixi's instructions, but knelt down in the middle and said, "The slave family has asked the two grandmothers to say goodbye." ”

Zhiqing pursed her lips and smiled and stepped forward to help her, Mu Ningxue, who was sitting at the top, hurriedly got up and said, "Please get up quickly, don't be polite." ”

Bai insisted on kowtowing and thanking him before getting up, and slowly looked up, and saw that the person sitting on the right was the grandmother of the Xu family, the county lord Zhu Qiaoqiao.

And standing on the left is a slender and slim, beautiful and beautiful girl, wearing the sky blue jade leaky phoenix when she was not out of the pavilion wearing a flower yarn shirt, lined with a red crepe sleeve jacket, tied with a Suluo falling flowers and flowing water eight Hunan skirts, tightly covered with dotted cui wearing pearl lotus petals, cloud shoulder palace sleeves.

Bai secretly praised in his heart, sure enough, as his grandmother said, his brother and daughter-in-law have the appearance of a city and a country, carefully look at her without fat powder, long hair shawl and forehead wearing a jade white brocade forehead, not luxurious but elegant.

Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "You haven't had lunch yet, right?" Zhiqing, you take your sister-in-law to the next door, and it's not too late to talk later. ”

"Sister-in-law come with me."

Zhiqing led Bai out into the house covered with a fire, invited Bai to sit on the kang, and asked, "Does my sister-in-law eat southern or northern food?" ”

Bai Shi looked at the rich furnishings in the house, and said politely: "Just follow the customs." ”

Zhiqing said with a smile: "Today, a grandmother wants to eat northern dishes, so she sent a few dishes, so I'll make the decision to let my sister-in-law eat southern dishes, wait a minute." ”

Soon the little maid set up a carved lacquered kang table and presented six exquisite dishes, in addition to chicken gizzards, duck eggs, anchovies, sea crabs and the like.

Zhiqing said slowly, turned around and went out, Bai Shi looked at the five-color imperial dining bowl of the Daguan Kiln, and ate it with a bowl of fragrant rice.

I didn't wait for a few bites, but I saw a handsome young man who walked in from outside and wore a soft scarf of Xuan yarn, obliquely embedded with ancient jade of the Han Dynasty, wearing a straight collar of black silk broken cloud Song brocade patterns, and a pleated orange lined with saffron wrinkled yarn, and a handsome young man with vermilion gauze shoes and white silk socks under his feet.

"Oh my God, are you the third young master?" Bai hurriedly wiped his mouth and was about to get up, Xu Hao reached out to hold her, and said with a smile: "You are sister-in-law Han, right?" I just haven't eaten either, so how about I have a few glasses of wine with you? This has haode daughter red, why don't we drink the west wind of the north? ”

Bai Shi said in shock: "God, Third Young Master, you have killed the slave family, how dare the slave eat at the same table with you?" ”

Xu Hao said funny: "Didn't my eldest sister count all kinds of unbearable things about me?" I was impatient to accompany the two aunts and grandmothers in the house to eat, and we didn't say anything about food, so we just got together at a table. ”

Bai Shi waved his hand vigorously: "You can't help it, you can't eat a bite of food in the slave family here." ”

"Forget it, I'm not strong." Xu Hao had no choice but to walk away.

The Bai family couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart that the two grandmothers of the Xu family, Jin Zhi Yuye, had the rules of the royal family, but it was the third young master's approachability that was incredible.

It's strange that the grandmother is worried about the younger brother of a mother's sibling all day long, and she doesn't think about tea and food at every turn, and she has such a handsome and considerate younger brother, and she has to miss her sister. (To be continued......)
