Chapter 247: Xu Hao returns

It is a woman who will be cautious and like to worry about the things around her, even if Ning Xue is talented and beautiful, and the noble family background will never be vulgar, so it is a woman's nature.

In response to this situation, Xu Hao made arrangements for all the maids around him in advance, and there was no doubt that Ning Xue was very pleased with this, even if her husband broke the connection with them behind their backs. Whoever calls the current atmosphere is like this, it is normal for men to drink and have fun outside, and it is not good for any wife to interfere, and if she does not recruit women into the house, she is already a good husband.

Zhiyan Zhiqing's intentions for her husband, Mu Ningxue knew it well, and she didn't care about the eyebrows between the two of them and her husband, knowing that without nodding her head, the two girls would never dare to cross the bottom line.

Whether it is out of the selfishness of the girl's family or the need to show the status of the wife, Xu Hao can't accept the maid in the first year after getting married, this is out of Mu Ningxue's pride and the bottom line of the Mu family's dignity.

In fact, this matter was not clearly said, Xu Hao didn't feel anything about it, he originally planned to respect his wife's dignity, and the inner house must remain peaceful, and the first premise of peace is that the status of the wife is unshakable.

Xu Hao's women are all maids, and basically put an end to the fact that anyone will dare to provoke Ning Xue in the future, just because the difference in status is too great. Of course, if there are more women, it will bring trouble, you can't have both, Xu Hao's approach is to hand over Qingwen and them to her sister-in-law, Zhu Qiaoqiao's identity is limited, it will never be possible to replace Ning Xue, Xu Hao is very relieved of his sister-in-law's means and ability.

As for Zhiqing Zhiyan, as the slave of the Mu family and Ning Xue's personal maid, the interests of the master and servant are the same. The life of the family is in the hands of the Mu family, and there will be no threat to Ning Xue. And before Ning Xue was pregnant and gave birth to her eldest son-in-law, Xu Hao would not let any woman conceive in advance. In the future, if there is a person who dares to do trouble, no matter who will be executed, the indecision to treat women is the most important, and the thunderbolt method shows the heart of the Bodhisattva.

Throughout the ages, the more stable the status of the main palace, the more peaceful the inner house will be, enjoying a luxurious life but still looking forward to Shu. Death is its only option.

Xu Hao is not so naïve that his wife and concubine coexist peacefully or even have deep sisterhood, nor is he so naïve that every woman loves him to the point of life and death, so that he loves the house and Wu, and treats every woman equally and sincerely? So innocent and full of cute fantasies. Think of an unreasonably complex alien creature like a woman as a simple and kind man whose life is fixed at the age of sixteen, well, let them continue to keep their dreams alive, what a cute boy.

Xu Hao's heart became harder and harder. More than 100 officials have died at his hands in the past six months. As soon as it is verified, he will immediately write to the emperor, from the feudal officials of the second grade to the small officials of Caoyun who are not in the stream. So much so that Xu Hao always sighed that corruption seemed to be endless.

The weather is getting colder, and in the blink of an eye, it is the cold winter wax moon, Xu Hao and his family quietly return to Beijing.

The old lady and her parents are far away in Beiping, since Yao Guangxiao disappeared, there is no need for Xu Hao to open his mouth Zhu Di took the initiative to stay, and the Xu family lives in the newly built Xu Mansion. It was a deep mansion compound of the same size as Zhu Gaoxu's county palace, and it was almost the same except that there was no palace.

This side of the capital. The Xu family all moved to the city, which can be regarded as a complete farewell to the rural hukou, but left more than ten houses of the Xu clan and the next family. The old house in Xiaojia Village was vacant, so Xu Hao politely refused the invitation of his mother-in-law and returned to the garden after a more than a year of absence.

Mrs. Mu was helpless when she learned about it, for fear that her daughter and son-in-law would lack subordinates to serve, so she sent 30 people, plus a total of 100 people from the original subordinates and the subordinates who stayed behind, barely supporting the façade.

Li Qiu became a housekeeper as he wished, his wife Pearl became the housekeeper, and everyone was busy cleaning up the house and cleaning the courtyard, so tired that they were half dead.

Mu Ningxue chose to live in the bamboo garden, and redecorated the new house with great interest, Hongye returned to the old residence Tianxiang Pavilion, feeling lonely and instructed her subordinates to invite Qingshuang to live together, but she didn't expect Mrs. Mu to miss her daughter too much, and planned to come over for a while.

At this time, Mu Sheng was sent to Yunnan as a deputy general, and his wife went with him, and poor Mu Ang went with him, but Yujian will be tempered by the eldest brother and the second brother, this is Xu Hao and the eldest brother to discuss haode, and order the Mu family away from the capital in advance, and Mrs. Mu and Qingshuang have to stay in the capital as family members.

As soon as Xu Hao returned to Beijing, Cuiliu received the news and hurriedly wrote to him, Xu Hao ordered Li Qiu to pick up Cuiliu, but for some reason Cuiyun was indifferent to this and wanted to stay in the capital.

For a while, the family was full of women, Xu Hao was happy and sighed that he was born with peach blossoms, and he had to be surrounded by countless women in this life, it is estimated that his sister-in-law and Zhulan will return to Beijing soon, and even Xu Hao can think of it under the pretext that in order to take care of the industry.

Without waiting for Xu Hao to take a breath, Li Chang and Xue Wen came together. In the study, the elder poured bitter water, and Xue Wen sat on the side to help explain.

It turned out that the Xu family, who was the two major families of Xiaojia Village, moved to the capital, and the Xiao family received a large amount of dowry since the cousin married, which immediately detonated the contradictions and grievances over the years.

Xu Hao listened silently and said in his heart, where did his cousin go? It's strange that there hasn't been a word for so long.

The patriarch's third grandfather, Xiao Shengde, was angry and annoyed and bedridden, and the two sons made a fuss behind closed doors in order to compete for the family property, and the prestige of the Xiao family plummeted.

As mentioned earlier, Xu Hao's mother Xiao has declined, and his father and two brothers have died in the officialdom, leaving the third brother Xiao Yu and his wife and the widow of the family.

Grandma Fang's family was bent on ignoring the world, who knew that when his son Xiao Yu was arguing with the clansmen, he suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't afford to die, Xu Hao guessed that he probably had a cerebral hemorrhage, and he had to come out to take care of the family in the face of a family full of orphans and widows.

It is precisely because of Mrs. Fang's high prestige and fairness that the Xiao family was able to divide the property smoothly and steadily, and no one was dissatisfied.

The problem is that the Xu family moved away, and the Xiao people have set up their own doors, and the Xiao family village has no wang clan to preside over the overall situation in an instant, and there is nothing to do in normal years, but this year's drought has highlighted the problem.

The yamen vigorously urged the collection of taxes and donations, countless displaced people from other places poured in, relatives and friends from far away came from all directions to rush, Xiaojia Village was overcrowded all of a sudden, don't look at every family on weekdays is very rich, what is the use of this food even if there is no food?

Xiaojia Village did not have Xu Xiao's two families to take the lead, so naturally everyone swept the snow in front of the door, but fortunately, the village was rich and had the chief Xue Wen and others running around, and finally survived, and in October, the government sent people to move the displaced people back to their hometowns in batches.

The problem now is how to cope with the coming year, until the autumn harvest is to fill everyone's belly. To add insult to injury, more than 10,000 wealthy households have moved from inside and outside Jinling one after another, making the grain at this time priceless.

has been dealing with famine for more than a year, Xu Hao was already mentally prepared before he came back, Xiaojia Village is his hometown, and he can't stand idly by and reason. It seems that the price of not caring is greater, not to mention being poked in the backbone by the villagers for a lifetime, do you still want to be an official with stigma on your back?

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, which can also be explained by the greater the power, the more unfortunate things will be, Comrade Lao Zhu has been exhausted recently, everyone in the palace has halved their meals, and the royal family, nobles, civil and military officials, who are not complaining about hardship? I don't know Weishenme, Xu Hao suddenly felt very sunny, and gloated and took a sip of the teacup.

"Do you still have the heart to laugh?" Xue Wen jumped up angrily, looking excited, "We are all worried to death, you are hiding in the field without heart and lungs, you can't understand the hardships of the villagers, why are we worried." ”

Xu Hao smiled: "If you encounter something, you can solve it, it's not a big deal." ”

The lieutenant's eyes lit up and he said with joy on his face: "With the third young master coming forward, you can be sure that you don't have to worry." ”

Xu Hao did not shirk, and said with a smile: "I will go to visit my grandmother tomorrow, now that my old lady is not here, and the third grandfather is sick in bed, I can only ask the respected grandmother to come forward, presumably the people in the village will work together to tide over the difficulties together in her old man and my thin face." ”

"That's nature, just ask you to raise your arms and shout, and you will be gathered." Xue Wen suddenly said: "Recently, the law and order has been unstable, some people have no food and clothing to rob food everywhere, your family has been robbed once, and the people in the village have also been robbed on the way back from going out to buy grain, the government is anxious about this, and there is a shortage of manpower, are you trying to find a way to transfer a group of soldiers and horses to maintain law and order?" ”

Xu Hao shook his head and said: "People have to be fed by horses, we have to provide for them, the burden is too great." Besides, the sergeants are used to stealing chickens and dogs, and it is easy to invite God to send God, so let's organize our own manpower to patrol and prevent it. ”

"Yes." Xue Wen nodded in agreement.

Xu Hao asked the chief: "How many families are there in the surrounding villages?" ”

The chief calculated and said, "There are probably no less than 2,000 households and more than 10,000 people. ”

"Hmm." Xu Hao said: "Now it is necessary to focus on keeping the food rations of the peasant households on the farm, so that there are enough manpower for spring farming, and the peasant households are also the poorest and most insecure, and if they have no food, they will go to other places to work to make ends meet, or even become homeless." However, the ordinary families in the village who have a livelihood do not care for the time being, and give priority to supporting the elderly and orphans and widows.

In this way, the chief of labor and the elders recorded the number of people in each family of poor people, such as farmers and the disabled, and sent food every five days, and the family was not allowed to migrate. The villagers know the roots, and there is no need to register the ticket, and they are not afraid that the rich or outsiders will dare to come to claim it. ”

The chief was pleasantly surprised, and the third young master of the secret path really had a splendid chest, and he would be able to speak the truth immediately, and he was immediately convinced.

Xu Hao frowned and continued: "As for the matter of money, I am responsible for Zhang Luo, who dares to be selfish at this juncture, don't blame me Xu Hao turned his face and ruthlessly ruined his family." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Hao smiled coldly and said to Xue Wen: "You gather all your classmates and friends and organize a five-hundred-person escort team. Whoever names are called must be reported, Xiaojiacun immediately began to act in military law, and unconvinced ordered the whole family to move out within three days, no matter who it is, it has to be honest and obedient to me. ”

Xue Wen's expression was overjoyed and his spirit was lifted, and he said in his heart that Xiaojia Village was finally the leader of the dragons, and with Xu Hao's identity and status, he could naturally say that he could do it, who would dare to disagree? (To be continued......)
