It was snowing outside, Xu Song returned to the temple in Xiaojia Village outside the city, did not go back to the three-room house next door, and went straight to see the second wife Xiao, at this time Xu Hao entered the palace and did not go home.

Mu Ningxue and other daughters-in-law were also here, the house was very lively, and Yuan asked her husband in a low voice, "Did you bring it back?" ”

Xu Song said: "I still have to go out of the city at night, and I saw Li Qiu wearing a single dress for him when he left. Yuan said with some distress: "Why don't you give him what you wear, that crane is the most expensive clothes sold in Dalian nowadays, the workmanship is the finest and the material is the best, and a piece is worth 100 gold!" They gave the third brother two pieces, but the brother himself was not willing to wear them, but gave one to you and one to Xu Hai, really. ”

Xu Song smiled and said, "I'll change it back that night." For you to wear. ”

Here, Wang Xuanqing asked, "Why do you want to go out of the city?" ”

Xiao said: "The Wanyuan Bridge in the village collapsed, and Hao'er recommended the old Liu Tou, a stonemason from the Ministry of Engineering, to discuss the merits of building the bridge. ”

Xu Song took over and said: "Earlier, those craftsmen received the grace of the third brother, and they were willing to donate some stones to repay the third brother to do meritorious deeds. I gave him the jade pendant in my hand as a letter salute, and thanked him when it was finished. At this time, when I came home to return to my wife, I sent the money to him, which was also the end of my wife's heart. ”

Xiao nodded and praised: "Well done, but how can you have this silver in your hand?" ”

Xu Song said: "My sister-in-law gave me 5,000 taels a year ago, and half of it was used for the New Year, and the rest is just enough." ”

Mu Ningxue smiled: "I'll ask Qingwen to make it up for you when I go back." The silver is your New Year's money to keep and spend slowly, and the kindness of the two of you has received it. ”

Xiao Shi was happy in his heart, and ordered the meal, and the maids and daughters-in-law stepped forward to serve, and after the use, the girls sent clear soup and silver bowls, handed over hot water hand towels, sent fragrant tea, cardamom, etc., and the daughters-in-law took away the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs.

It turned out that many people died in the war because of the family, and now everyone thinks about drinking water and thinking about the source, and most of the merits in the past are to give money and food to the temple. Please come to the Golden Buddha. Add sesame oil, and hire all the monks to worship and recite scriptures, but because Xu Hao doesn't like the monks very much, he changed to help the poor man-made bridges and build roads.

sat up and chatted. Xu Song talked about what he had seen and heard outside. Among them, Xiangyu's Women's Hospital and Du Qianqian's Tzu Chi Hall are particularly influential in the cold winter. Deeply respected by the people.

Xiao Shi held his daughter-in-law's hand and said, "If you move your heart, you know the gods and ghosts." Wealth must not forget its duty. Qianqian also said today that there are people in Shandong who have no food and clothing, and they are in urgent need of 10,000 taels of silver to resettle. ”

Wang Xuanqing thought for a while and said, "I'll give eight hundred taels, do my best to do a good deed." Yuan also said: "Very much, then I will make up a thousand taels with my younger brothers and sisters." ”

Xiao Shi asked: "Qianqian must have turned your fate one by one, how much did Song'er raise?" The deficiencies are all out of me. ”

Mu Ningxue said: "It's only six hundred taels of silver short, and Mrs. Bao Yuan'er." ”

Xiao Shi was surprised and said, "Why do I only come out of this?" Ning Xue smiled: "Who let our family more." ”

Although Xu Hao doesn't like the temple, but for the women, they have to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings before and after the festival, and on the ninth day of the first month, Father Li died of illness, and the coffin was parked in the family temple near Xiaojia Village.

Early the next morning, Mu Ningxue, who was pregnant, was left at home to accompany the old lady, and Xiao took a group of female dependents to the countryside by car.

After taking his wife and others into the abbot's room for tea, Li Qiu and Li Dong and other family members came over to say goodbye, and everyone greeted him, and Mrs. Li Qiu Yuming said: "Cao Guogong's brother is coming to visit." ”

Xiao Shi said to Wang Xuanqing and other daughters-in-law: "It's good for the family, you don't have to avoid it, it's okay to see it." ”

Soon Li Jinglong's younger brother Li Zengzhi came in with his head down, speaking of which, Li Qiu has known the children of a noble family in the capital for many years, and now Li Qiu is a dignified hereditary commander, with Xu Hao who looks like a towering tree behind his back, and naturally some old acquaintances rushed to mourn when his grandfather died.

Li Zengzhi respectfully stepped forward to greet him, Xiao Shi helped each other with his hands, and after Li Zengzhi bowed, he asked for peace again, and greeted the grandmothers, sisters and sisters of the Xu family in order.

Xiao Shi looked at him carefully, a young man about twenty years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a talent, said with a smile: "You see, this child and Wen'er look the same, but they are married?" ”

Li Qiu said with a smile: "The relatives who became a few years ago all said that Mrs. was the first beauty in Hangzhou, but unfortunately on the day they got married, the brothers all cared about eating and drinking, and they didn't see each other." ”

Xiao Shi praised: "Suzhou and Hangzhou have been brilliant since ancient times, and it must be extraordinary to be known as the first beauty." The girls in our family don't dare to compare, and they have time to bring their families so that we can see the world. ”

"Yes!" Li Zengzhi agreed shyly.

Xiao Shi turned around and saw that Li Qiu's wife's pearl eyes were red, Xiangyu's pretty eyes were holding two pearls, and Xiangling Xiangxuan was about to fall with tears, and couldn't help sighing. "Daddy Li is seventy-six years old, this is a happy mourning, don't be sad."

Seeing this, Pearl hurriedly laughed, shook her hand, quickly wiped the corner of her eyes with a hand towel, and invited the wives and grandmothers into the hall.

But it was said that at this time, the male guests avoided one after another, and the female guests all came out to greet them, looking at the flowers from a distance, a group of people came slowly around a wife, and the old abbot himself led the way.

Everyone looked at the lady together, about forty years old, born elegant and elegant, dignified character, wearing a first-class python suit, a sheep fat jade belt hanging from the waist, and a fragrant concubine-colored Gu embroidered rich and noble scattered flower skirt, faintly revealing the most popular high-heeled red satin embroidered palace shoes in recent years.

Women who have never seen the true face of Xiao's Lushan are very praised, no one does not say that the wife of the Xu family is a blessed person, and the only son is not only outstanding in the Xu family, even if you look at the entire capital, there are few young people in this generation who can compare with it.

A wife from another family asked Li Dong's daughter-in-law, "Which grandmothers and girls are they?" Are your three young grandmothers available? ”

Li Dong's daughter-in-law's surname is Zhou, and she was born as a personal maid of Red Leaves. Hearing the words introduced one by one, from Geng's family to red leaves and green bamboos, although they are all wearing plain clothes, they are beautiful and beautiful, which makes the audience admire them, and the rumors that the feng shui of the ancestral tomb of the Xu family is good is true.

In the evening, Xu Hao and Li Jinglong and other friends came together, and almost all the female guests had left, but Li Zengzhi had not left.

Because his father inherited the title of Duke of Wei, Xu Zengshou's eldest son Xu Jingchang immediately compared all his brothers, and he was arrogant by nature. Now it's even more unbeatable. first said to Li Zengzhi: "Did my sister-in-law come?" Let us appreciate the stunning beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Seeing this, Xu Hao frowned and said, "Don't be rude." ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Third brother, you will see the outside, what is there to avoid between our brothers?" The big guy said yes? ”

Xu Hao has no problem with the brothers in the clan who are arrogant, after all, they are not Xu Song and other brothers, and it is not good to be too restrained after a while. And in the past, the relationship between brothers was not deep. They even didn't interact with each other for a while.

Xu Jingzhi and the others all laughed strangely. Li Zengzhi reversed his restraint in front of the Xiao family, and said smugly: "My daughter-in-law can only give me one person to appreciate, don't even think about it." No way. ”

Li Jinglong opened his mouth and didn't say anything, and pulled Xu Hao in to incense Daddy Li, Li Zengzhi continued: "I heard that Xu Hao's brother's wife is Jinling's stunning, if you want to say that compared to my daughter-in-law, it's still a little bit worse, hehe!" ”

Xu Jingchang, Xu Jingzhi and others couldn't help but look at each other, most of them had seen Mu Ningxue's true face, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were immortals, if this was slightly inferior to Li Zengzhi's wife, what kind of national beauty and fragrance should it be? Suddenly, my heart was itchy and hard to scratch, and I couldn't wait to see it.

In such a short period of time, under hearsay, Li Zengzhi's daughter-in-law was rumored to have become the first beauty of the Ming Dynasty.

But it was said that since Xu Luge was beaten by her husband, she took out five hundred taels of silver unusually, and Liu Mao asked her mother for five hundred taels and made up a thousand taels, and the couple went to ask Xiao again, and Xiao gave a shop to his niece.

Through the cost price in the red leaf shop, Liu Mao bought the Japanese lacquer box, tableplate, Ryukyu bronze mirror, bamboo mat, Korean head rope, thread belt, etc., in addition to Hui fan, Su pot, acacia set, Mr. Horn, spring painting, and so on. Every day, he was placed in a shop that didn't need room money, and he started to be a shopkeeper leisurely.

This prosperous Jingshi is undoubtedly a good place to do business, these groceries are introduced at a very low price, one or two times the profit is common, if you bump into the rich and Jing Nan local tyrants, ten times the profit is also unknown, and most of them are rare things from overseas, Liu Mao is prosperous, in just a few months, the business is very prosperous.

After making money to buy a house and land, Liu Mao sat in the store all day long, invited a few friends to drink tea and brag about it, and the market of all things was seen in the eyes, and there were more people who knew all walks of life.

At night, he and Brother Green spoke softly in the room, laughed and played, and enjoyed the spring painting to play Mr. Corner, and the couple became like a fish in water, and their small days were prosperous.

After the New Year, Xu Cuiyun married Liu Zhi, and Liu Zhi was also unlucky, and within a few days, he was cleaned up by his daughter-in-law who had changed his temperament.

And Liu Zhiben is a womanizer, and there are a few good friends outside, but they were all investigated by Brother Green, and he didn't tell the third sister directly, but said it little by little.

On this day, Liu Zhi returned to the room, and saw that Xu Cuiyun was already there gearing up, looking at the lady's unkind complexion, and took the three souls that Liu Zhi bluffed to the six souls, and the five souls lost ten souls.

Xu Cuiyun said coldly: "If you don't explain all the ugly things clearly tonight, it won't be over." If you have half a tooth that you can't speak, I will turn you into pus and blood at once. ”

I think that although Liu Zhi has grown up in a rich family since he was a child, and his aunt is the third wife of the Xu family, he has hardly seen much of the world except for studying and going to Dezhou, Shandong.

For the third lady of the Xu family, who was a few years older than him, and this heroic female who had been mixed in the palace compound for four years and killed all the way, she was used to seeing all kinds of terrible scenes of eunuchs and palace maids being tortured and beaten to death such as fighting each other, and she was as ruthless as iron.

The most important point is that Xu Cuiyun doesn't like the flamboyant little husband in front of her at all. (To be continued......)
