Chapter 160: Men and Women
"Remember your words today. Okay, don't forget my instructions, go back and rest. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe Xu Hao's words at all, smiled slightly and walked forward.
For a long time, Xu Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly got up, stretched out his hand to pat the snowflakes on his body, and said to himself: "No one believes the truth, no one believes the lie, do I look treacherous?" ”
Facing the heavy snow, Xu Hao slowly walked out of the noon gate, and saw two young men in their twenties leading twenty brocade guards in the clearing, standing motionless in the snow, like a pile of snowmen.
Xu Hao nodded unsmilingly, as if he had said hello.
The average-looking young man is named Shi Feng, who is not smiling by nature, but is the concubine and nephew of Xu Zengshou, the fourth uncle of the house.
The other is Mu Hui, a distant relative of the Mu family, handsome and graceful, very romantic before the age of twenty, merciful everywhere, and later his childhood sweetheart abandoned him to make a concubine for a certain marquis, and in a fit of anger, he abandoned Wen from the military and signed up for Jinyiwei, thinking of taking revenge on others by the hand of Jinyiwei, and sure enough, three years later, the marquis was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case and was executed, and even the whole family was killed. Mu Hui watched his former childhood sweetheart die in front of him, and suddenly realized that he would never be close to a woman again, and he was called Mu Ergong.
These two are all innocent ordinary people, and they don't have much contact with the Mu family and the Xu family except for relatives.
In the past few days, without waiting for Xu Hao to speak, Xu Zengshou took the initiative to recommend the two of them and told them the details.
When they met for the first time, Xu Hao naturally didn't trust them. I'm afraid that the other party will not believe him, but fortunately, he knows the roots.
Xu Hao looked at the five imperial river bridges in front of him. The river below was covered with a thin layer of ice, and Ouyang Lun and Zhang Lin wanted to assassinate themselves there.
Shaking his head, he waved his hand into the distance. Soon Li Qiu came with five of his own guards leading the horses, Xu Hao turned over on the horse, and ordered the Jinyi guards to bring over more than 20 good horses, and flew away with more than 20 personal bodyguards.
After returning home after half an hour, because he was going to enter the palace early tomorrow morning, he asked the second housekeeper Father Li to arrange a place for Shi Feng Muhui and other guards, and Xu Hao returned to the garden.
His new home is located in the southernmost part of the country, and the area looks like it is not small, but the construction was stopped in the middle of the construction due to the weather. Even if it is repaired next year, you can't live in it, and you have to wait until you get married.
Xu Hao, who hadn't eaten at noon, was hungry and returned directly to the bamboo garden, and the two mothers-in-law who were guarding the door hurriedly greeted him and opened the door, and the sharp-eyed little girl shouted that the young master was back, and Zhulan and other maids ran out of the room one after another.
"Alright, moms are all gone."
Zhulan stepped forward, stretched out her hand to untie Xu Hao's cloak, and asked casually, "Have you eaten?" Why did I come back just after noon? Didn't you say you were going to stay in the palace? ”
Xu Hao took off his cloak and walked towards the house, "I'm dying of hunger, the emperor gave me a vacation, go to bed early tonight." Go to the palace early tomorrow morning. ”
Zhulan handed the cloak to Xiangyu and instructed, "Vanilla, go to the kitchen and order a few good dishes." There's a bowl of ghee in the house, and you can bring it to you. Pad the stomach and intestines first. ”
Here Xu Hao entered the bedroom, and then Qingwen who came with her suddenly pouted: "I am not at home these days." This time, there are fewer words at home. ”
Xu Hao sat comfortably in the chair, raised his legs and smiled: "Seeing that we are all a year older." You are all big girls, so you naturally have to have some scruples when you speak, and you can't be as unscrupulous as when you were a child. ”
Qingwen habitually knelt on the carpet, took off her socks for Xu Hao with quick movements, and said, "You must have seen us as an eyesore, so those who want to change the law are sent away, and then a batch of fresh and beautiful girls will be replaced, right?" ”
Xu Hao said funny: "Except for Zhulan, you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and in my eyes you are all yellow-haired girls, so I sent you away and came to a group of eleven or twelve-year-olds." Well, who's going to serve whom? ”
Qingwen suddenly smiled: "Talk about it, right?" I said just now that the big girl is now a yellow-haired girl again? It's not uncommon for them to treat you as a treasure all day long. ”
After saying that, Qingwen carried two stinky socks and lifted the curtain and went out. Zhulan walked in and whispered: "I don't know who provoked her these days, and she sneered at everyone." ”
Xu Hao frowned and said, "Is there something going on in her family?" ”
"I don't know." Zhulan looked at him still carrying his two bare feet, turned her head and shouted, "Hurry up and bring the basin over, how many times have you said it, first change your clothes and freshen up." Oh, be careful. ”
Without waiting for Zhulan to finish speaking, she hurriedly raised her hand to open the curtain, Qingwen came in with a basin of hot water with her head down, and said as she walked: "Where did Musk Yue die?" Xiangyu is not here, so I have to carry the water myself. ”
Zhulan sighed and said, "It's not that there is no little girl to call, why bother to run by yourself?" ”
Qingwen didn't reply and said: "I won't fulfill their wishes, one by one, they don't do things well, they only know how to apply grease and powder, who will they show coquettishly?" Let them all dream, and let them not come into the house. ”
Xu Hao suddenly smiled and said: "I wanted to change people before, but you are strictly guarding against coming, I am hypocritical, so are you involuntarily speaking." ”
Qingwen squatted down angrily, put the copper basin on the carpet, and said, "Ansheng wash your feet, scolding people is endless." ”
Xu Hao and Zhulan looked at each other and smiled, and Zhulan said, "I'll go find Musk Yue." "Turned around and went out.
"It's hot." Xu Hao slowly put his feet into the basin and suddenly lifted up.
"Hot?" Qingwen hurriedly put her hand into the water, quickly raised her head and glared at Xu Hao fiercely, reached out and grabbed her two feet, and pressed them hard into the water.
Xu Hao listened to Qingwen rubbing vigorously and muttered: "I went out and learned to deceive people." I couldn't help but smile.
Here, Zhulan came back with a silver bowl and said, "Musk Yue's body is inconvenient today, and her stomach hurts so much that she can't stand it, so I sent her to bed and lay down." ”
Xu Hao hurriedly said: "Let Xiangyu and Yushi show her, it should be menstrual cramps, put a stove on your stomach, don't be too hot, if not, give her the warm water bag I made." ”
"I've asked the little girl to get it, the milk is already cold and can't be eaten."
Zhulan, who had tasted a small sip of milk, put the silver bowl aside casually, walked over and whispered: "I was troubled by Musk Yue, I remembered, the fourth girl secretly asked me yesterday, saying that her maid Huan'er hadn't come to that for two months, and asked me if I would have it?" I asked her what was going on, and the four girls turned around and left. ”
Xu Hao said suspiciously: "This matter is not trivial, I will ask after eating." ”
Qingwen, who washed his feet, suddenly said: "Two months ago, there were many people in the garden who were messy, and there were many girls who took the opportunity to meet with some cousin and cousin. ”
Zhulan's face turned red, and she said unnaturally: "My cousin got twenty taels of silver last month, because his father was a gambler by nature, and he was afraid of losing the silver, so he came to beg me to put it in our house, and I relented for a while so I agreed." ”
As she spoke, Zhulan found that Qingwen below opened her mouth wide, and she didn't know it, so she knew that she didn't admit herself, and explained with a wry smile: "It was indeed very convenient for outsiders to enter and exit that day, he sneaked in while people were unprepared, and begged a little girl to come and pass the word, so I hurried out, for fear of being discovered by others, and told him to go out quickly, I hurriedly came back with the silver." ”
Xu Hao nodded in understanding and said, "This kind of thing can't be prevented at all, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about other girls." are all at the age of the beginning of love, and it is normal for men and women to attract each other, even if they do something foolish on impulse, they are young after all. It seems that this is the case with that ring, and when someone is sent over to say it, ask who the other party is? If you can achieve it, you will secretly help it to be fulfilled, and you are afraid that the other party is an uncompetitive or uneasy and well-intentioned person, then it will be a little troublesome. ”
Who knew that Qingwen sneered: "She is a faceless tryst man who deserves to be abandoned." My cousin was insulted by a young master in such a daze, and after being pregnant, the other party flatly denied that he did not admit it, and the elders in the family touched his nose and scolded his cousin a few words, but my cousin couldn't think of jumping into the well for a while, and one corpse and two lives. ”
Xu Hao changed color and said, "Which young master, have you made it clear?" ”
Qingwen said faintly: "Who else?" is Xu Han, who has been by the side of the eldest young master since the sky, and the whole family knows that he relies on the support of the eldest young master and teases the maids everywhere. ”
Xu Hao suppressed his anger and asked, "How long has this happened?" ”
Qingwen looked happy and recalled: "It was the same day that the young master just came home, and my cousin was looking for a short time. At that time, she was more than three months pregnant, and she had been helping her parents at home, not far from Xu Han's house, and once she accidentally bumped into each other, alas! ”
Zhulan's face turned pale, and she persuaded: "Anyway, the other party is your brother, don't you dare to use your fists and feet like last time, what if you hurt someone's life?" ”
Qingwen immediately shut up and said nothing, and went out with a copper basin in a huff.
How does my sister-in-law take care of the house? Just turn a blind eye to this happening! Xu Hao's face is ugly, someone cheats again and again, who knows how many others have not been discovered? This person really can't say anything, just be strict, complain one by one, once the heart softens and relaxes the environment, the result is to disgust you with this kind of thing?
Xu Hao was a little afraid, fortunately, the eldest sister and the others all lived in the bamboo garden, and there were a bunch of mothers-in-law guarding outside, otherwise a few hooligans who were inferior to beasts rushed in at night?
Xu Hao couldn't sit still, and immediately walked outside barefoot, and Zhulan chased after him and said, "You're still hungry, why don't you finish eating first." ”
"I'm full." After speaking, Xu Hao walked outside, put on leather boots, and walked away.
Zhulan was afraid that Xu Hao would have trouble again, and as soon as he left with his front foot, he rushed to report the news with his back foot. (To be continued......)
