On the sixth day of the sixth month of June in the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, nearly 6,000 people beat the gong while surrounding the Mu Wangfu.

This incident caused a sensation in the entire capital in an instant, and the people were not afraid, but they all rushed over to see the excitement with great interest, and crowded the streets near the Mu Wangfu.

Mu Chun, who had just returned to the capital, was furious when he heard the news, and walked out of the mansion with Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, and three hundred generals.

Mu Chun's face sank like water, and he said angrily to Xu Hao, who was riding a horse: "Xu Hao, you are guilty, inciting idle people to surround my Mu family, quickly dismount and tie your hands and arrest." ”

Xu Hao sneered: "What kind of idle people, etc., I came to marry Ning Xue today, and the brothers came to congratulate me on purpose." ”

"You're fooling around."

Mu Chun's eyes swept away, and he saw that the person wearing a python robe on Xu Hao's left turned out to be Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, and the famous one was Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and the others were dressed as either rich or expensive, and they were all the sons of the nobles of the capital without asking, and they couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts, thinking that these people had always been used to being rampant and domineering in the capital, so what could they not do?

At this moment, the surrounding people shouted one after another, some cheered for Xu Hao, some shouted haode for the Mu family, in short, they all laughed with a kind will.

Zhu Gaoxu turned over and dismounted, first bowed deeply to Zhu Chun, the king of Shu with a wry smile, and then said loudly: "Big guy, be quiet, who doesn't know that the lord of Yuning County has a holy promise to choose a husband by himself?" Today, Xiao Wang doesn't help his relatives, and wants to ask the county lord who he wants to marry in person? If she wants to marry my Uncle Wang, Xiao Wang will leave immediately without saying a word, but if the county lord chooses my brother Xu Hao, then I can't help it, even if I step on your Mu family, I have to take people away today. ”

The people applauded. An old lady daxiao said: "Don't act, hurry up and let the groom snatch the bride back to the cave room!" The Mu family doesn't care about the identity of the groom, we can all see it clearly for a reason, don't you say it? ”

A man shouted, "Yes! Mu family high righteousness. "There are so many good brothers of the groom, it can be seen how the character of the family is, I heard that he was demoted to a common person, it seems that he will definitely make a fortune in the future, and the Mu family has a good vision." The surrounding people suddenly hahadaxiao and praised them gossiply.

Here, Zhu Chun said helplessly: "Aren't you guys messing around?" Even if you want to marry Qin Jin, what is the reason for such a menacing door-to-door forced marriage? ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "Then I don't care." For the sake of his brother and nephew, he is willing to stick a knife in both ribs. ”

Mu Chun said angrily: "I am the head of the Mu family, I don't agree, my sister can't marry anyone, you go back quickly, otherwise I will go to the palace to sue you for bullying." ”

Xu Hao was too lazy to speak, turned his face and said, "Come on, tie up Mu Chun and the prince for me." ”

Hula rushed out nearly five hundred brocade guards, Mu Chun suddenly sneered: "Public and private use, Xu Hao, are you impatient?" No one has to fight back. ”

Mu Hui stepped forward and smiled: "I'm sorry for you two." Tied people up. ”

As soon as the words fell, four or five Jinyi guards stepped forward with a smile, and gently tied the two of them symbolically with silk ropes, and those Mufu generals and Jinyi guards laughed and scolded each other. It seems that even if there is no order from the head of the house, they will never resist.

Mu Chun sneered: "Xu Hao, don't be complacent, Ning Xue likes you, but if she dares to step out of my Mu family." Regardless of whether you will fall to the ground for this matter, my Mu family will cut off the family relationship with Ning Xue. ”

Xu Hao said disdainfully: "Lao Tzu has hands and feet to raise the condensing snow, how can you be rare when you have the power of the Mu family?" ”

Zhu Chun is so big and embarrassed for the first time. In particular, he also played the role of a third party who was hated by others, and said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, don't be verbose, hurry up and take people away, you won't be able to leave if it's too late." ”

Mu Chun sighed and said helplessly: "Hurry up and get out!" If the Holy Lord implicates my Mu family for this matter, I will not let you go. ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "Can the saint control the grass people to rob relatives?" Okay, I'm in. ”

At that moment, Xu Hao took Mu Hui and Zhu Gaoxu majestically and led people to hug him, and the people of the Mu family immediately pretended to be posturing, and the chickens and dogs jumped and ran away one after another, which made the people burst into laughter.

Mu Ang suddenly appeared and beckoned to Xu Hao.

Xu Hao and Zhu Gaoxu dared to break into the Mu family, but Li Jinglong didn't have the guts, so they all turned over and dismounted with a smile.

Zhu Chun deliberately frightened: "You are righteous enough, and you will accompany this king into the palace to face the saint later." ”

Li Jinglong smiled: "That's natural, how can such a glorious thing not show your face in front of the Bixia Emperor?" A total of 2,500 descendants of noble heroes, brothers from all over the world are here, and your Mu family's face is bigger than that of Ming Media. ”

Mu Chun was taken aback and exclaimed, "Have you ever gone crazy?" How dare you get together in a grand way to make trouble? ”

Li Jinglong said with a smile: "Brother Mu, don't worry, isn't this a holy decree to order the world to send meritorious heroes and old ministers into Beijing to talk, I was ordered to receive, our younger generation is just going to go out of Beijing today to practice, who knows that I will encounter this kind of thing in front of your Mu family, and it is a coincidence." ”

"People of your age are like children." Mu Chun was helpless, his hands were slightly forced, and the silk rope was parted, "I said why Xu Hao is so bold and dares to gather thousands of people to surround my Mu family, it is not a capital crime but also a capital crime." ”

Zhu Chun said with a smile: "In such a trouble, Xu Hao is not guilty but also guilty, I don't know what my father will do with him." ”

Li Jinglong laughed and said: "He is a grass people, what are he afraid of except for death?" It's just a kiss, even if you go to the sea to catch official documents, it's useless. ”

Then everyone was taken to the palace by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who came by order, but the emperor did not face him at all, and came to a sentence of the custom of robbing relatives has existed since ancient times, as a commoner, Xu Hao deliberately robbed relatives, and the Mu family obviously intended to indulge, both parties are willing to do so, this matter is not under my control, as for the remarriage of Princess Fuqing, it is purely a rumor, not enough to believe.

It turned out that robbing relatives was a way for the poor to marry in ancient times, probably because the man could not afford the dowry and the woman could not afford the dowry. And Xu Hao, who is nominally a grass farmer and wants to marry Mu Ningxue, who is the lord of the county, has no other choice but to rob relatives, and no one will care about it if it is unreasonable or not.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the process of marrying a family has been very cumbersome and costly, and those who marry without the media will be ridiculed and discriminated against by all parties, and will be regarded as a great shame. However, the act of snatching relatives will be generally understood and blessed by the world, after all, people have compassion, and almost all of them take place in the poor people's homes at the bottom.

Of course, the robbery of relatives must be discussed by both parties in advance, otherwise it will be an evil act. There are conventions in this, as long as the man sounds the gong, the surrounding neighbors will know that someone is going to rob the daughter-in-law, after the fact a couple of newlyweds worship heaven and earth after the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, the groom returns to the door to apologize to the father-in-law and mother-in-law daoqian, then the two families will be reconciled in the future and there is no bad feeling.

For this kind of behavior of snatching relatives that you are willing to do, the government has always held the attitude of adult beauty and ignored it, admitting its legality and not pursuing it, Xu Hao and Mu Ningxue are in love with each other, who doesn't know in the capital? It was Comrade Zhu who said that this matter is not under my control.

The news quickly spread to the Xu family, and the whole family was stunned, and at the same time, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Relatives and friends said happily one after another, and said with a smile that the Xu family was happy today.

The old lady was ecstatic and hurriedly asked Xu Hao if he had returned? deliberately said angrily: "This monkey didn't even say hello in advance, oops, I wronged the new daughter-in-law, quickly take someone over, take out the dowry and heirloom treasures of the old body, poor Ning Xue, this child." ”

As a result, the people below asked each other, and no one knew where the third young master had robbed his daughter-in-law and gone.

Xiao Shi couldn't help but laugh and then said: "Mother, don't worry, Hao'er is robbing relatives, in order to give the name first, and he will have to hold a wedding in the future, how can he treat others slowly?" ”

The old lady said with joy: "That's how it should be!" This kid is really, and he solved the major events of his life without making a sound. It's okay if the little couple doesn't come back, so the two of them can enjoy the mountains and rivers. Cui Tao, you see, your brother has a daughter-in-law now, and he has forgotten his father, cheer up, and the old body will send you to the sedan chair with his own hands. ”

The brothers Xu Wen and Xu Ji, who heard the news, looked at each other, and both sighed for a while, envious of the boundless beauty of the third child.

The eldest lady Wang said speechlessly: "It's a shame that Brother Hao dares to run away to rob his relatives, I can be regarded as convincing him." ”

Xu Yaozu said with a smile: "Dare to act, this kid is a good man." ”

Wang Xuanqing was in a complicated mood, how could he not guess who Xu Hao was for? And recently received a letter from my mother who is far away in Liaodong, everything is fine with my mother's family, and I also overheard the steward of Ning Wang's Mansion last month talk about it, and the great benefactor who entrusted Ning Wang Haosheng to take care of the Wang family behind the scenes turned out to be Xu Hao.

Zhu Qiaoqiao, Zhulan and others all have their own thoughts, and the earth has already been mentally prepared and does not make a fuss.

But Princess Fuqing gritted her teeth with hatred for this, Xu Hao's move was no less than giving her a slap in the face, making her a laughing stock in the capital, first her husband died because of him, and then she was humiliated by him, gritting her teeth and secretly saying Xu Hao, we are not finished.

Heshou Hou Zhang's house, in the octagonal pavilion in front of the Jade Xuan, has now been repaired and renewed.

Zhang Yueyun, who was playing a song of Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, looked unfazed, but the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Zhang Yu watched in horror as her sister's hand was cut by the strings, and blood gushed out.

Zhang Yueyun didn't feel it, and said lightly: "I wish Engong and Miss Mu to grow old." ”

"Sister, you're hurt." "Really?" Zhang Yueyun turned her head away, a teardrop slipped quietly, dripped on the guqin, and slowly melted.

On June 12, the old lady of the Xu family took the second family to Yanjing by boat and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Yang sailed.
