The Xia family agreed on the date with each other, and when the weather was fine, they took their mothers-in-law and hired a few donkeys, and twenty or thirty people came to Xia's house in a mighty way.

Mrs. Xia simply didn't see it and didn't worry about it, and hid next door to accompany Mrs. Mu, and the relatives thought that she had entered the inner city of Hangzhou, and suddenly there was no tiger and monkey in the mountains called the king, and they ran to the spirit with a sad face and howled a few times.

The housekeeper Xia Jiang is steady, even if he despises them, he does not dare to slack off, let the kitchen clean up the meals and entertain them, and feed the livestock to the full. But even with such hospitality, everyone still blamed Xia Jiang for his inconsiderate hospitality, and often scolded his subordinates while instructing them, and the angry subordinates were secretly annoyed.

In October, the wheat from the village was delivered one after another, and Xia Sicai, who was full of wine and food, picked his teeth and said: "This year, the rations at home are not enough to eat, so pull a few carts to my house." ”

Xia Jiang endured his anger and said, "The wheat is there, but on the orders of my grandmother, I don't dare to move the grains." ”

Xia Sicai squinted at him and didn't wait to continue speaking, Xia Wu came over and scolded: "Put your shit!" Now your grandmother has a son and a daughter? Sooner or later, this inheritance will be ours. If we have righteousness, we will give her a house to live in, and a few stones of grain to eat every year. If we don't talk about righteousness, she will leave the house with a stick. ”

When a neighbor heard this, he stood up and said, "What you say is not like what people in Hangzhou say, but like what outsiders say." What's wrong with having no children and no daughters? Mrs. Xia and the late Master Xia earned the family business together, can't you enjoy it? If you try to pick someone up with a stick. ”

Xia Jiang couldn't help but say: "You are all distant relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles, what qualifications do you have to ask for family property?" My family doesn't recognize you, so don't force me to have good words if you dare to be verbose. ”

Unexpectedly, Xia Sicai stepped forward directly, slapped him in the face, and scolded: "Thief minion!" And you crooked-mouthed neighbors, the Xia family cares about your birds. I don't pee either. ”

Unexpectedly, half of Xia Jiang's face was red and swollen, and in a fit of anger, he slammed into Xia Sicai's heart, and immediately knocked Xia Sicai on his back.

"It's against you."

Xia Wu picked up his fist and rushed up to scuffle with Xia Jiang, Xia Sicai got up and rushed over with his wife, Xia Wu's wife, and the others plus their respective wives, pretending to fight, but in fact, they grabbed Xia Jiang's hands.

This Xia Jiang has some fists and kicks, but how can he beat a group of men and women? Even the unhappy neighbor was caught by several women and his face was covered in blood.

Although the Xia family is the richest family in the local area. But according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, how many rooms can the next person have? There are more than 20 people in total, and half of them are taking care of the fields in the countryside, and the family is full of old and weak women and children, how can they be the opponents of a group of scoundrels in the Xia family?

Xia Jiang's wife saw that her husband had suffered a loss, and she herself was beaten and scattered. Turning his head, he ran out into the street with a noodle gong and shouted while knocking, "Come on!" The robbers have entered the house during the day! ”

The lieutenant and other neighbors all ran over. Xu Hao also heard the news and came out with the guards. I saw men punching and kicking around Xia Jiang, and the butler was bleeding from his nose and mouth, and those wives took the opportunity to take the mattress cover, took off their cloth clothes and tied the cuffs as pockets, and grabbed the wheat like crazy.

In the confusion, someone kicked the incense burner and candlestick to flatten. Stuffed in the crotch of the pants and hidden, some people ripped off the filial piety tent and hid a few on their bodies, in short, they took valuable things when they saw them.

Xu Hao thought about whether to make a move, and when the chief and the others saw this, they shouted: "Qingping Shilu Realm." dared to rob money and hurt people during the day, and there was no royal law. ”

Seeing that the neighbors were about to come in and arrest people, Xia Sicai and Xia Wucai let go of the injured Xia Jiang, came out and shouted: "Our family is dividing the family wealth, what do you have to do?" The dog is nosy with a mouse. ”

The chief sighed in his heart and said, "Mrs. Xia is here, will you discuss it well if you want to divide the family wealth?" How can you directly rob it? Do you really think that the government is a decoration, and you can let you do whatever you want? ”

When he said something soft and hard, he asked Xia Sicai to set up a letter for Xia Jiang, and it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, so they let ordinary men and women go away with wheat and property.

Xia Jiang was so angry that he shouted that his subordinates wanted to carry him to the yamen to complain, and the chief persuaded: "This kind of thing has always been said to be justified by the public, and the mother said that the mother is reasonable, you are the housekeeper and not the Xia family, even if we help you testify, at most beat them a few boards, and they can't be eradicated once and for all, it will only make the enmity deeper and deeper." According to the opinion of the big guys, those people will not take a break, and they will continue to make trouble, let's let them go rampant and tell them to send themselves to death, this world is not without a king's law. ”

After a comfort, everyone dispersed and went home, Xia Jiang was beaten very embarrassed and couldn't swallow this bad breath, he was bedridden, Mrs. Xia was furious when she learned about it, but she was helpless.

At night, several officials suddenly came, asked Xia Jiang in detail about the whole process, recorded a confession, signed a painting, and then said goodbye and left, which made the Xia family confused.

Early the next morning, Xue Wen, the new Hangzhou Tongzhi, invited Xu Hao to go out to play, and when he arrived at a restaurant in Hangzhou, the two talked and laughed, and ordered a basket of fat crabs and a few Jiangnan side dishes.

In the upstairs seat, Xu Hao smiled and said, "I didn't bring a penny, so I came to eat white food." ”

Xue Wen said: "Don't be mean to me, I will handle the affairs of the Xia family impartially." Our brothers settle accounts, and I'm so embarrassed to eat white food? He who eats me for nothing today will come to me in the future, and I will not pay attention to you. ”

Xu Hao smiled: "Don't brag, you deliberately asked me to see that it's not good, just say it." ”

Xue Wen poured himself a glass of wine with a smile and said: "In the final analysis, it is to help the victims, the imperial court has not been able to catch it, and it has to find a way to mobilize the rich in the city. ”

Xu Hao deliberately said: "You kneel in this chrysanthemum and punish three glasses of wine, and I will help you." ”

"Okay!" Xue Wen was naturally very happy in front of him, and immediately got up and was about to kneel, Xu Hao pulled him and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I have a plan for this matter." ”

Xue Wen Da said with a smile: "I know that you will never sit idly by, so I am relieved now." By the way, I will introduce you to two Jiangnan celebrities, after all, I can't accompany you around. ”

Xu Hao frowned slightly, and saw Xue Wen clapping his hands, and two polite young scholars came in, both of whom were friends of Xue Wen.

Zhu Boqing is 19 years old this year, and his father Zhu Fengke was born in the imperial examination. I was a Shandong inspector, but because of discord with my boss, that is, the year before Xu Hao made a big fuss in Shandong, I couldn't get used to seeing Fengyang people colluding with my boss to bully local big households, so I went home with illness.

Zhu Bo is a young man who is weak, and he is a well-known scholar in Hangzhou, and his mother Jiang is the sister of Jiang Bingqian, the current soldier of the military department. And Jiang Bingqian and his wife gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, both of them are seventeen years old this year, their son's name is Jiang Dengyun, and their daughter's name is Yaojun. The brother and sister were born like flowers, and they were more fragrant than jade.

Jiang Dengyun and Zhu Boqing are not bad in terms of appearance or talent, in fact, they are not outsiders, the Jiang family is from Xiaojia Village, Jinling, and it is Jiang Bingqian who entrusted fellow villager Xue Wen to send his children to Hangzhou.

So we introduce each other. Both sides were pleasantly surprised, and Xue Wen didn't hide anything. For Xu Hao, the Jiang brothers and sisters are villagers in one of their own villages. Childhood friends who met when they were children. Not an outsider.

Jiang Dengyun and Zhu Boqing were even more surprised, who doesn't know that this person in front of them is famous all over the world? According to Xu Hao's anecdotes and gossip in his hometown, he is not only talented in Beidou, but also rich in Xiyuan, and famous for his debauchery, commanding thousands of troops. Assisting King Yan has experienced a hundred battles and is a first-class strange man in the world.

Xu Hao found that the two of them did not have the slightest habit of being a gentleman, and they did not have the literati habits at a young age, so they happily intersected. Soon several people smelled like. In the afternoon, Xue Wen returned to the official office, and Zhu Boqing had to take Xu Hao to the West Lake to take a boat.

In October, the south of the Yangtze River is still bright and willowy, and from time to time there are painting boats swimming around the lake, Xu Hao admires the surrounding scenery, he feels that swimming in the lake may not be so simple, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, when the two boats were staggered with each other, Zhu Boqing received a small flower note, and handed it to Xu Hao with great interest, Xu Hao opened it and saw that it was a poem with a beautiful font.

The spring outing on the lake is in October, and the lake is like a willow like sleep.

Someone paddled to the edge of the lake and broke through a puff of smoke in the lake.

Before Xu Hao could speak, Jiang Dengyun stroked his palms and praised: "It's really like the charm of the famous Tang and Song dynasties, I admire and admire, when I see the poems on the lake, I am mentioning my interest, such a scenery cannot be disappointed."

"Good poetry." Xu Hao, who was laughing and laughing, simply echoed him, glanced thoughtfully at Zhu Boqing, whose eyes were shining, and secretly said that the Jiang family sent their children to his sister's house in Hangzhou, could it be that he intended to kiss and kiss?

Xu Hao felt that it was a little interesting, and happened to see a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth on the opposite boat, wearing a three-inlaid lotus pearl skin coat, a green spring shirt, and a light red pleated silver mouse skirt.

At this time, there are gradually more boats coming and going on the lake, all of them have wide open windows, and most of the men and women on the boats sit together, chanting poems and playing orchestras, which is very lively.

The scholar lit the fire on the bamboo stove, squatted on the bow of the boat to make tea, and there were countless women leaning on the stone bridges on both sides, covering their faces with fans to show half of their faces, some of them holding their cheeks with their hands, staring at each other, and two or three people talking to each other.

The two boats were not far away, one in front of the other and one behind them, and the women leaned down and smiled and waved to the boat. There are also tourists on the shore, three in a pile and five in a bush.

Zhu Boqing and Jiang Dengyun are still children, although Xu Hao is not a few years older than them, they respect Xu Hao as a father.

Zhu Boqing suddenly pointed at the tourists and shouted, "Why are you all looking at me?" Do you want to recruit me as a son-in-law, I don't know if your daughter has pockmarks on her face and bald on her head. ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Don't mess around, the West Lake is not opened by your family." ”

Zhu Boqing grinned, carrying a fan on the boat and pretending to be chic.

When I arrived near Wushan, there were many people in the green mountains and green waters who put various paper kites on the mound, and the sky was full of kites. At this time, a big boat came on the opposite side, and the owner of the boat was surnamed Liu Mingyun, the word Renxiang, and lived in the inner city of Hangzhou.

Liu Yun is twenty-six years old this year, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his father has been a secretary of the ministry, the Liu family is a giant family in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is said that the family is known as the richest man in Hangzhou with millions of dollars.

In the early years, Liu Yunen was a person, relying on his Lao Tzu to enter Beijing to participate in the examination, and he was lucky to order Hanlin, and in less than two years, he was promoted to the imperial history of Shanxi Province. Although Liu Yun has a good appearance, his internal talent is mediocre, and he likes luxury to show off his wealth the most, and he is overwhelming his neighbors.

Marrying his wife Cao is a young lady of the household squire, very good-looking, and temperamental, Liu Yun is very afraid of his wife, and has bought three aunts, all of whom were sent out by Cao, because his parents are alive, and he dare not say anything.

Last year, his parents died of illness, Liu Yunding was worried at home, and today he took a few masters in the house without telling his wife, and invited four or five prostitutes to swim in the lake to relax.

Liu Yun looked down on these vulgar fans, and sat by the window alone, looking around at the women outside, hoping to find a few stunning colors.

happened to see a little beauty sitting on the boat that looked like Jiang Dengyun, and his eyes suddenly lit up. (To be continued......)
