Mrs. Qi went to the temple to offer incense and took a carriage to visit the old lady. When the old lady heard the news, she was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered her daughters-in-law to pick them up.

In the garden, Xiao Yushi wanted to find Mu Ningxue gossip to relieve the spring sleep, so he went to Daoxiang Village alone. It happened that Mu Ningxue went to Qianshoutang and admired the furnishings in the courtyard for a while, she lifted the curtain and came in to see, there was no one outside, Zhiqing was sitting alone on the kang in front of the window, and Xu Hao was lying on the couch to take a nap.

When Zhiqing saw Miss Shi coming in, she got up to wake up Xu Hao, Xiao Yushi hurriedly shook her hand to stop, sat on a chair next to her, and asked in a low voice, "Where is my sister?" ”

Zhiqing smiled and whispered, "I'm going to see my son in Qianshoutang." Saying that, she poured a cup of tea, Xiao Yushi took the tea bowl in her hand, and saw that the words written by Xu Hao in his spare time were pasted on the four walls, on the round and square paper of various colors.

The taste is pleasant, the clean room is a classic, the breeze is bright, and the windows are clean.

Sparse forests and bamboos, mountain streams, deep halls and fragrant fragrances, talk about the present and the past.

The world is peaceful, the head of the family escapes the world, wakes up from sleep, and the world is happy.

Appreciating the strange stones, sitting on the strange rocks, vase flowers blooming, new silk slow rolling.

Watch the birds step on the branches, watch the fish leap into the abyss, open the book and fold the book, and the wind of the wall organ sounds.

Take a leisurely walk under the moon, listen to the bells, study the scriptures and history by yourself, and read the strange texts alone.

Worldly gossip, don't fall into the dust, do what I know, and smile proudly in the mountains and forests.

The sound of bamboo is offset, the pine wind enters the ear, the country helps the world, and the pen is a poem.

Xiao Yushi watched carefully, and suddenly heard Xu Hao say loudly in a dream: "Today there is death and no life, and the eldest husband is shrouded in horse leather." ”

Xiao Yushi was shocked when she heard this, it turned out that Xu Hao was leading his brothers to fight with the Ottoman army in a dream, and when he didn't want to run out of ammunition and was about to win, the 100,000 cavalry of the Timurid Empire suddenly appeared in the rear, and the Ming army only had 20,000 people.

Zhiqing saw him calling himself in a dream, knowing that he had a nightmare, and hurriedly came over to wake Xu Hao up.

Xu Hao got up with a hesitant expression. Inevitably, I was still in a trance, and I secretly said in my heart that it was dangerous, if I continued to sail, I might really have to go to war with the Islamized Turks, Muslims were famous for being xenophobic, and it was not impossible for the Ming army to be surrounded by a combination of heretics.

Telling the things in the dream, Xiao Yushi was relieved: "That's all out of your suspicions, otherwise how can you say that the world is like a dream, isn't it said that people are delusional, 'like an idiot talking about dreams'?" We ourselves are always in dreams, so we can't trust what we are dreaming about. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" has a cloud: 'Yin Sheng is a dream of great water and frightened. Yang Wang dreams of fire and anger, and Yin and Yang are concurrent and mixed and dreams of fighting. If you go up, you will dream of flying, if you sink, if you are full, if you are hungry, if you are hungry, if you are angry, if you are angry, if you are angry, if you are gold, if you are hungry, you will dream of working, this theorem is also. ”

Xu Hao said in surprise: "You mean that I may be living in a dream?" ”

Xiao Yushi laughed and said: "In the "Maoting Proverbs": 'The blind have no dreams, and the fools have no dreams.'" Zhuangzi said that 'the most enlightened have no dreams'. Gai said that the virtuous gentleman has no dreams because he has no desire. The anger and greed of the mediocre are endless, and they are dreams of consolidation, and all calamities are omnipresent dreams. You're dreaming about it. One is based on what he has said and heard, and the other is because he has been overseas for a long time, and one person is worried about everyone's life. ”

"That's a good point. I'm a mortal. Xu Hao sighed a little that the burden of leading the fleet often overwhelmed him, for fear of encountering bad weather such as storms. I have to pretend to be relaxed and confident every day, and the pain is hard to explain, and it is inevitable that I will have a nervous breakdown after a long time.

Zhiqing brought over a mouthwash tea, Xu Hao took it and rinsed her mouth, and Xiao Yushi also brought a basin of water to wipe her face.

Xu Hao said: "It stands to reason that you should all have someone to serve, Yushi still has a few maids around her, and Zhiqing is busy serving me all day long, so she was negligent." ”

Zhiqing said with a smile: "It's not that there are no little girls around us to serve, and no one in the family treats our sisters as subordinates, let's talk about it in a few years." ”

Xu Hao smiled, thinking that it was time to make them pregnant, and send them to Dalian first after giving birth to the child, so that they would not have to worry about the worldly vision outside the customs, and in the future, when everyone is old, they can settle wherever they want, as for the sons, they hope to cultivate useful talents, the world is so big, and there are places for them to conquer and occupy and operate.

Xiao Yushi is quite satisfied with her current status, although she has not become a concubine, but there is no concubine around her cousin, so there is nothing to worry about, she doesn't need to pay too much attention to it in the courtyard of the deep house, and it is too late for everyone to compete with each other when relatives meet, how can anyone dare to talk about Xu Hao's woman?

I picked up a book from the Nanmu carving table and looked at it, and asked with a smile, "What is this?" A book is not a book, a painting is not a painting, and some angular drawings are mixed, what are you doing? ”

Xu Hao hugged her soft and fragrant body, turned over the first few pages of the book, pointed to the words written on it, and said: "This is called a weapon drawing, it is marked with dimensions, a planing plan, I drew it while pondering, if this thing is successfully developed, then we Han people no longer need to be afraid of northern cavalry, this thing is called a machine gun, but unfortunately it is too difficult, I'm afraid I can't develop it." ”

Xiao Yushi said: "Why don't you let the craftsman help you?" ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "It has been arranged a long time ago, not only to develop machine guns, but also to develop other things that you can't think of, it just so happens that I got a group of Venetian merchants, and I want them to return to China to bring some missionaries to see if basic mathematics, geometry and physics can bring some reference." ”

Xiao Yushi said: "I heard my sister-in-law say that the enlightenment education of all children in Dalian is different from that in Guannei, which must be accused of deviance in the Central Plains. ”

Xu Hao said: "It's not so strict, and it's not that you can't learn Confucian classics, after all, not everyone can be admitted to show off talents, and most people have to learn a skill." As the saying goes, if you learn astronomy and geography well, you can become a pillar of the country. ”

In the evening, Xu Hao and Xiao Yushi went to Qianshoutang, and saw that Mrs. Qi was fat and fat, and without waiting to say a few words, Sixi came in and said, "The master asked the young master to go out to meet guests." ”

Xu Hao tidied up his clothes at the moment, and it turned out to be Mrs. Qi's son Qi Puyu, who was about twenty years old, just like Jia Baoyu and looked like a treasure.

Xu Qingtang has been pampered and pampered over the years, and he will be raised in vain, but his family has been suppressed by his wife and son, and his long-cherished wish to take a concubine has not succeeded, but fortunately, he occasionally goes to the Qinhuai River to have a dashing and romantic time, but he is also very satisfied.

Even if Xu Hao is now covering the sky with one hand. Xu Qingtang didn't take it seriously as Lao Tzu, and said: "You two are brothers of the same generation, you can't see the outside, Hao'er, you take your younger brother to see the old lady and go into the garden to play." ”

Xu Hao took Qi Puyu back to Qianshoutang, and the girls from the inner courtyard gathered, but saw that the young master of the Qi family had a face like white jade, and his demeanor was gentle and smooth, but he was much shorter than his own young master, and he was a little too weak. Unlike the third young master, his demeanor is very powerful, and his eyes are like lightning.

However, the third young master's face turned red when he came back from overseas, and his skin was a little rougher, and everyone smiled secretly: "I can see that there is a lot of literature and martial arts." ”

To Xu Hao, Qi Puyu is a child, and when he entered Qianshoutang, he saw him step forward with a few arrows and asked his wives to be safe.

The old lady was very affectionate to him, called him to his side and asked with a smile, and Qi Puyu replied loudly. Yuelan brought tea. The old lady ordered him to sit on the chair next to him and eat tea.

Xu Hao accompanied him, sitting between his wife and cousin, talking and laughing, and listened to Mrs. Qi ask: "The ancestor must have asked us to stay for a few days before going back, but did we move in all the cages and packages?" Have you ever unloaded your luggage? ”

Qi Puyu got up and replied, "The uncle here also ordered so. The son wanted to ask his mother to show him. ”

The old lady said: "What is there to show and not to show this, you learn more from your third brother, take the idea when you should make your own decision, your mother is inconvenient to deal with outside things." You'll have to bear a little longer. ”

"Yes!" Qi Puyu replied respectfully.

Seeing this, Xu Hao said: "My father has instructed to put my brother's salute in the small study in the east to teach the fast." ”

Mrs. Qi didn't dare to take advantage of the elders in front of Xu Hao, the junior, and thanked her with a smile on her face. praised Xu Hao for being sensible, making the girls in front of and behind him giggle, I haven't seen the third young master being treated as a child for a long time, which can be described as a joy to see.

Xu Hao felt very fresh, and on a whim, he personally arranged Qi Puyu's residence, went to the outer house to teach Zhai, Yaoqin and the sword were placed on the table, and the people below were all clever young men with new hats and satin clothes, which showed that the other party's family was rich and he was also a son with fine clothes and food.

And Qi Puyu doesn't seem to know the amiable brother next to him, and he has witnessed that the Xu family is ten times richer than his own family, and there are beautiful beauties everywhere, and he is very envious in his heart, and he said that this is the real rich son, I don't know how he has learned?

After thinking about it, Qi Puyu asked: "May I ask my brother, although my name 'Puyu' is an uncut jade, I don't understand what it means. ”

Xu Hao frowned slightly, feeling that he was more pedantic than Zhu Boqing and them, every word was the style of a traditional scholar, and he casually said: "Jade is from the cliff of Kunlun, this word "Pu" is just to say that the jade inside and outside the stone, does not show its beauty, is there any other reason?" Ask. ”

Qi Puyu was a little disappointed in her heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Venerable, have you seen the Records of the Vast Domain?" ”

Xu Hao shook his head and said: "I don't like to read by nature, I just like to read some idle biographies, I think you and I are generations of martial artists, the saint wants to use us, just take the sword and go into battle to kill the enemy, it is useless to read the scriptures or not, there is no need for poetry Yunzi said." ”

Qi Puyu is also well-behaved, seeing that some words are not speculative, he hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, what Brother Zun taught is very reasonable, and the younger brother also has to learn to ride and shoot, although he has read a few books, because his younger brother is dull in nature, just for the sake of reason, he has no intention of hunting for fame." ”

Xu Hao couldn't help but have a headache in the face of the crepe readers, and he was very bored with asking questions, so he found an excuse to rush out of the house and escaped.

Here, Mrs. Qi saw the girls of the Xu family in the capital, and secretly said in her heart that it was a pity, everyone who should be married was married. I didn't want Qingshuang to come over to play today, and I was shocked at first sight, and asked, "Frost girl, has there ever been a family?" ”

The old lady said: "I heard that there are no people yet." ”

Mrs. Qi smiled: "I don't know what kind of family Mrs. Mu is looking for?" ”

The old lady is not good at making decisions for the Mu family, it stands to reason that with the official status of the Qi family, Mrs. Mu may not be able to see it, and said honestly: "I don't know, in the early years, the frost girl intended to marry the current Zhao Wang Chitose, but then somehow there was no follow-up." ”

Mrs. Qi opened her mouth wide in surprise, and immediately dispelled her thoughts, daring to love this beautiful young lady even the royal family, that with her own identity, there is absolutely no blessing, and besides, beauty is beautiful, and her son may not be blessed to climb others.
