On the morning of this day, Xu Yu went out to find his brother-in-law Zhang Fu, and suddenly rushed out of a person, grabbed his boots, and shouted, "Uncle Xu, it's been a long time." ”

The guards on the left and right immediately rushed up, pressed the person to the ground, and beat him violently. Zhang Shou shouted: "You madman deserve to die, what crime should you be guilty of daring to collide with my master?" Get out of here! ”

"Stop." Xu Hao asked, "Do you recognize me?" What is the intention of running out? ”

The madman with a blue nose and swollen face lay on the ground, pointed at him and laughed, "You know who I am? I am the third prince born to the Jade Emperor! Just because he accidentally broke the eight treasures Qiankun Ruyi bottle on the incense case, he was demoted to the mortal world to become the third prince of the Dragon King, and because he insulted the princess of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, he was demoted to the world to become a son. Hahaha, now the Jade Emperor has sent 300,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and ordered the gods and goddesses of the four continents to descend to the earth, to help me expand my territory, build a claim to be respected, and enjoy the great wealth and nobility of the world. Hahaha! You were originally a boy in front of my father's Jade Emperor, so I know you. Yesterday I have issued a decree to you, ordering you to be my vanguard general, and in the future, you will assist me to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and you will be crowned king, and if you dare to disobey the decree, you will be killed on the spot. ”

When everyone saw that he was full of rebellious crazy words, they wanted to come forward and beat him again. Xu Hao said in his heart, what does this guy have to do with Wu Chengen? Why did even the four continents come out? Waving his hand, he said, "What are you talking about with a madman?" ”

At this time, someone pointed to the man and said, ∮"Isn't he Long Ding's son-in-law Lu Xiong?" ”

"Lu Xiong?" Xu Hao also vaguely recognized it, but he didn't expect that the young man of the day would now have a withered face and crooked mouth and eyes.

It turned out that Lu Xiong's father and father-in-law were repeatedly affected by him, and they both died of depression.

Lu Xiong, who had completely lost his fame, had nowhere to vent his anger, beat and scolded his wife all day long, and was so angry that the Long family didn't live with him, and asked the government to sentence a letter of resignation. The couple have since parted ways.

Lu Xiong, who returned to his hometown, gradually became moody, at first he was just a person who often talked to himself, because there was no one to enlighten him, so that he became ill with the fire and got the so-called madness. At home, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying, full of crazy words, starting to get sick, and even brandishing kitchen knives to chase people and slash them, scared several concubines and maids and mothers-in-law did not dare to show their faces.

The family also hid far away, and a few of them boldly snatched the kitchen knife. So he ran to the market, unkempt and barefoot, and when he saw them, he came up and tore them. People see that he is a madman and is unreasonable, even if his clothes are torn and his body is scratched, he often has to admit that he is unlucky and quickly walk away.

During that time, the entire street in front of the Lu Mansion was extinct.

Since the male owner is crazy, the family property is naturally occupied by a few greedy relatives who take advantage of the opportunity, and the subordinates who betray the owner of the family also follow suit. Some loyal old family members were reluctant to leave at first. I really couldn't stand Lu Xiong's unreasonableness, and seeing that he was going to kill people and beat people every day, everyone was worried about their lives, so these family members went to the ancestral hall to cry collectively. Say goodbye without saying goodbye.

The concubines in the inner house and the maids without parents blackened their eyes on the changes in the outside world, and gradually became hungry and full, and there were no subordinates to call, and they had to prevent Lu Xiong from suddenly killing in at night. Plus they were young. was born as a prostitute again, and soon some chose a member of the Lu family of a similar age, and some chose a rich man. have changed their marriages.

At that time, Lu Xiong was even more crazy, and he didn't know that the concubine had escaped, and he was running around the county crazy day by day, so the local county government didn't bother to pay attention to it. When Lu Xiong was hungry, he grabbed food and ate it, or he didn't eat water and rice for three or five days, and some well-wishers took pity on him and took some leftovers for him to satisfy his hunger.

Wherever he slept at night, his unkempt and dirty face was almost naked, and everyone was afraid to avoid it.

The Lu family is a big clan in the local area, and most of the relatives are their own people, but everyone hates him for his bad conduct, which makes the family's reputation plummet, so no one cares about it, and he can't be dead.

Suddenly, one day Lu Xiong disappeared, but he didn't expect to be able to run all the way to Jinling, and then mixed into the inner city, and ran to the door of Xufu to hang around.

Seeing that Lu Xiong had gone crazy, Xu Hao sighed lightly and said, "Sue all the residents inside and outside the city and the nearby county town, no one is allowed to bully him, and those who do it arbitrarily are enemies of my family." In the future, whoever is robbed of food and drink by him will report it to the county government every five days, and the Xu family will compensate according to the original price. ”

Zhang Shou frowned and said, "Master, in this way, are you afraid of someone?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Xu Hao waved his hand, took one last look at Lu Xiong, who was smirking, and rode away.

"Take him to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and have a full meal." After Zhang Shou finished speaking, he muttered: "You are lucky to have met my master." ”

Soon, the Xu Mansion sent people to inform Shuntianfu and the nearby counties, and the government came forward to summon the Baojia and others from various places and villages, and ordered them to sue everyone separately.

After the people knew about this, they fought for food for Lu Xiong every day, and then doubled the report to the government, and the Xu government never cared about it, and compensated as much as they reported.

In this way, Lu Xiong seems to have become the mascot of Jinling, he doesn't worry about starving to death wherever he goes, and from time to time someone takes him to take a bath and tease him to talk, and his condition has improved slightly, and he no longer fights and kills. Half a year later, they were not given warm and delicious food, they refused to eat, and the people were also happy to provide chicken, duck and fish, but someone reimbursed them anyway.

The Xu family has done another good deed, and no one does not praise it, in fact, for Xu Hao, it is certainly out of pity, but why is it not an invitation to buy fame? It's just hypocrisy.

In early spring and March, Zhu Qiaoqiao returned to Beijing and lived in the Liuxian Courtyard in Yisu Garden.

Xu Cuiliu also came back from Suzhou and Hangzhou and came to visit the door early in the morning. Rows of willow peach blossoms on the Su Causeway, red and green are beautiful, accompanied by the warm spring breeze of Hexi, the white cranes and mandarin ducks and other birds can be seen everywhere, and the waterfowl that swim freely from time to time sweep low on the river surface, take away the fish, a thriving spring scene.

Entering the bamboo forest, a group of little maids chased with a group of butterflies flying around in the flower garden, some maids caught a lot, dragged a hair and tied the big butterfly at both ends, and watched the butterflies fly.

Xu Cuiliu walked in with a smile, and saw that on the second floor where no one was waiting, Zhu Qiaoqiao was sitting on someone's lap up and down, and suddenly grinded tofu with her waist and abdomen, she shook her head and said, "I knew that you two must be in adultery again." ”

The skirt covered the shameful part of the fierce exercise, and Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was middle-aged, was also full of indifference, and said with a smile: "If you haven't come back for so long, you have to make up for it, so spring." Don't be overjoyed. ”

Xu Hao, who was sitting below and was "destroyed", laughed and said, "There is your favorite bamboo leaf wine, come, taste it." ”

"Don't. Hurry up, like what? Xu Cuiliu frowned and said, she walked to the Bogu kitchen opposite, looked at the antique jade or something, heard the moaning sound from time to time, and found that there was a rosewood box in the drawer, and took it out to open the lid. Inside is a handscroll, and on the skewer is written "Lady Blossom Little Elephant, Painted by Mrs. Guan".

"That's good."

Xu Cuiliu was very pleasantly surprised, deaf to the lewd-movements, and carefully untied the silk thread to see that it was a silk pen, and the characters were painted beautifully. If it is genuine, it must be an inestimable double masterpiece.

"Such a treasure, how can you not give it to me?" Xu Cuiliu was pleasantly surprised at the moment, and unceremoniously took it for herself.

Suddenly, Zhu Qiaoqiao shouted, "It's coming." It's coming. "The whole person is more intense ups and downs, like a spring.

"Phew, it's ugly." Xu Cuiliu spat, walked over and put her hand into Zhu Qiaoqiao's clothes. Touching the plump meat ball, he smiled: "It's like freshly peeled chicken head, smooth and greasy like stuffed crispy." It's a pity that I'm a little old. ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was at the critical moment, didn't have time to pay attention, and pinched Xu Hao's shoulders with both hands, immersed in the surging passion.

Xu Cuiliu looked at the heat in her eyes and said, "You two are so shameless, why don't you strip naked and play?" ”

"Naked, face to face, weird." Zhu Qiaoqiao said breathlessly.

"Huh!" Xu Cuiliu laughed.

At the same time, Xu Yu chatted in Xu Yunyu's room and asked, "What day did Qin Yan take a leave?" ”

Xu Yunyu, who was writing, said: "Years ago. ”

Xu Yu said in surprise: "It's been a few months, why haven't you come back?" ”

Yunyu didn't say anything, and after a while, she said, "Presumably she has something, so naturally she will come back when she is done." ”

"What can she do with a girl out there?" Xu Yu immediately stood up, "I'll send someone to find her now and ask when I will be back." ”

It turned out that Qin Yan was sick in Qiushuitang, and she wanted to recover from her illness and then enter Xu's mansion, but then some trivial matters happened one after another and were delayed, so she wrote to Yunyu to inform her. And Xu Yunyu heard that there was some relationship between her and Xu Run, a girl of her age was very disgusted with this kind of thing, and such a girl was obviously not suitable to stay around, thinking that since you like to go outside, then simply don't come back.

The monthly money is still the same, Qin Yan saw that the girl disliked herself, and she didn't dare to go back after self-pity and self-abandonment.

Shi Niang came to find her, sat down and said, "When you entered the Xu Mansion before, I don't know how the third young master of the Xu family told your master, and your master didn't tell me about it. You also know that when he was alive, I didn't care about anything, and now I have to support the portal, and our family needs at least 3,000 yuan a year to spend it. ”

Qin Yan nodded silently, with some ominous premonitions in her heart, why did Shi Niang say these things to herself?

Shi Niang continued: "Do you think Tianshou Tianfu can earn so much money? If you didn't enter the Xu Mansion that day, you could earn at least two or three hundred taels a month, and you could afford to support our entire Qiushui Hall. Now that you are no longer in the team, this money will naturally come out of the Xu Mansion, and I think the Xu Mansion will not call people in vain? You first agreed with your sister how much money you will give me every month, and you can save the rest for yourself so that you can help your husband in the future. Although there is no one for your master now, the rest is the same, even if everyone is more frugal, about 200 yuan a month will be required. ”

Qin Yan lowered her head and didn't interject, because she thought of her junior brothers and sisters, after all, she had to eat well.

Shi Niang said: "Your master has no home in his hometown, and I can't go back, what else can I do if I don't keep this family business?" There are more than thirty people, what is the way to go? Seven things to open the door, it's not difficult. There are so many people to feed, and there are those human contacts, it is inevitable. Shi Niang knows that you are a child with a conscience, and you also think about Shi Niang, what should I do if I am a widow? If you don't rely on you, who will you rely on? (To be continued......)
