In the world, there is nothing more unjust than being wronged. And the most distressing thing is the evil marriage, in ancient times, divorce was not popular, once the trust is not a person or marries an unsatisfactory person, this life can not be shaken off.

Xiao Yuying was very unlucky to encounter a bad marriage, and it was also because the Xu family was far away in the north that year, and the originally planned marriage went wrong.

At this time, Xu Hao sat in the hall on the second floor of a restaurant in Yangzhou, invited a new friend to have a drink, and mentioned that the people's hearts in the world are getting worse, and the custom of taking concubines is also extremely popular this year. Nowadays, there is no distinction between rich and poor, and everyone is proud to have concubines.

This friend's name is Luo Da, who claims to be a down-and-out scholar, and said: "My brother's discussion is really not bad, I have a teacher, who was sixty years old at that time, and he is not ashamed of his old age, and he obviously told his son a daughter-in-law, but when he saw that it was stunning, he accepted it as his own, which angered his son to leave home, and since then he has not been in contact with each other since old age, and he has also made other sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law all look down on their father."

The little concubine was twenty years old at the time, she was both scheming and ingenious, both romantic and enchanting, not to mention talented, there was no such thing as chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, how could she be satisfied with marrying a bad old man? Since the division commander took a concubine, his waist has also bent, and his actions are not smooth, and he only relies on red tonic pills and other valuable things to recuperate and support himself, and he was blown by the wind in less than half a year, and his life was whimpered. Let's just say that he has been fair all his life, can such a stunning concubine keep it? Probably the green turban was worn more than once, don't you think it's a joke? ”

The two of them were talking happily when they heard the sound of the stairs. walked up to a person, carrying a burden in his hand, wearing a Chunluo two-section coat, two cloud shoes under his feet, long hair combed with a few loose braids, about thirty years old, saw Luo Da here, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Luo Da asked him to sit down and said, "This is Brother Xia Shiyin, this is my second brother Luo Er." Neither of them is an outsider. Just sit in one place. ”

Luo Er smiled while putting the handkerchief on the empty table on the side, Xu Hao got up to sit down, and asked with a smile: "I've seen Brother Luo." ”

Luo Er asked, "Brother is a little raw. Where do you live? ”

Xu Hao said: "I am from Jinling. I came to settle in Yangzhou last year. Drop it down in Fangzhong Lane. ”

Luo Da asked for a cup, pointed to the baggage and asked, "What kind of clothes are stuffed in the second brother's bag?" ”

Luo Er poured wine for them and said, "I'm just so busy." This is a filial piety dress rented for our in-laws in Xiaojuer Hutong. ”

Luo Da was surprised: "Yo! Xiaojuer Hutong, isn't it Cui Wenye's house? Why is it your in-laws again. ”

Luo Er said: "His daughter recognizes me as her father-in-law, and we are now a godfather. ”

Luo Da sneered: "I see, dare to love this Mrs. Ru is your in-laws, right?" ”

Luo Er blushed suddenly, and said angrily: "Big brother Hugh teased, where is this?" You can't drink these two bells, I'm leaving. ”

Xu Hao listened to it for a long time and didn't understand what was going on, so he persuaded Luo Er to sit down, and raised his glass to let the wine go, which kept the person.

Luo Er said indignantly: "Your mouth is always sarcastic, I really can't stand you." ”

Luo Da sneered: "Don't hide it from me, I heard that Master Wen's wife is like a lady, nicknamed Gai Jiucheng, I don't know if this is true or false?" ”

"It's true that there's this nickname." Luo Er put down the wine glass unhappily, "So what?" Do you think your brother is the one who is the next three people? ”

Luo Da saw that his younger brother was really annoyed, and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, I remember that Gai Jiucheng's surname is Fan, and she was originally a gangster, and she used to open a secret prostitute in the Qianmen area, and you often accompanied Wen Ye to her house." I think she has a friendship with Master Wen, and her friendship with you is not shallow, good things, I have heard too many rumors on the street, can these things be hidden from me Luo inquire? ”

After that, Luo Da touched his mustache and laughed, making Luo Er's face red and white, and said to Xu Hao with a smile: "Look at my eldest brother, as soon as we meet, I am full of arrows, and it is really Du Kang who took the initiative for no reason, and the four or five sons instructed." ”

Luo laughed and said: "Don't be strong-mouthed, there is no impermeable fence in the world." The body is not afraid of shadows. Now your reputation will probably not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River. Listen to my brother's persuasion, the Cui family is a male thief and a female prostitute who can't go often, and the consequences of outsiders' words are not big if they are weighed no matter how they are weighed, if Master Wen is suspicious together, and then make a little vinegar temper, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat and have to carry it away. In front of Brother Su, you said, what is your intention to recognize others as goddaughters? ”

Luo Er shouted: "Big brother, you're here again, isn't it closer to the neighbors' recognition of a godfather?" ”

Luo Da said unhappily: "I don't dare to persuade you if you are so hard-mouthed, as the saying goes, it is not good to admit that you are not kind, this sentence should be on you." ”

Xu Hao became impatient when he heard this, what is this? said: "Speaking of that division commander earlier, who is his surname? How's it going? ”

Luo Er asked, "Who's home?" Luo Da explained: "It's He Guan's eunuch near your home." ”

"He's there, I know." Luo Er smiled at Xu Hao and said: "The aunt of the He family is really good, her appearance is good, her work is good, and the rules are especially generous, in terms of her behavior, she looks like a county lord from a prince and noble family." It's a pity that the He family who fell in the middle of the family road is over! The mother-in-law is tall in the spring and autumn, the wife is a broken mouth, the second wife is ruthless, and the concubine does not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and she is often frowning when I see her occasionally recently. ”

Xu Haoxin said that Luo Da commented on his cousin's temperament before, but when it came to Luo Er's mouth, it was like a completely different person, it seems that his cousin is not doing well, otherwise with her proud temper, where can she be trained to behave?

Luo Er drank a few glasses of wine, called the guy who walked to the hall to ask for a bowl of roasted wontons, held a banana fan in his hand, and pulled food into his mouth with a snort, eating happily.

After he finished eating, Xu Hao rinsed his mouth and wiped his face, and handed the guy two treasure bills. Luo Er is a person in the market, and he doesn't let Xu Hao pay for it, Xu Hao said with a smile: "The next time I go back, it's over, why fight for it?" ”

"That's a deal." Seeing this, Luo Er was not reluctant, and patted his chest to promise that he would have a treat next time.

Xu Hao said goodbye to the brothers. Swaying along the wall on the west side of the street, enjoying the shade and going straight to Ju'er Hutong, when I arrived at the door of He's house, a little girl came out of it, called the second uncle with a smile, and said a thousand blessings.

This girl is Xia Wenjuan, the granddaughter of the late Master He, nine years old this year, her father and the Hangzhou Xia family can climb relatives, Xia Wenjuan died of illness when she was five years old, and her mother He took her daughter back to her parents' house to live.

Back then, Xiao Yuying was entrusted to the care of the Xia family. Who knows who chose the He family. Marrying far away in Yangzhou was snatched away by Master He regardless of his reputation, so that after this incident, the reputation of the He family was ruined, and the family fell in just a few years.

Xu Hao pretended to be the Xia family to visit the He family and came to the door with rich gifts. The He family was cold, and how could he not be happy to see that he was young and rich? Within a few days, the He family called his brother affectionately. Xia Wenjuan called Xu Hao the second uncle. In short, the generations are actually messy and can't stand scrutiny.

Xu Hao pretended to be a wandering swinger, probably because of his true temperament. Asked, "Is your grandma at home?" ”

Xia Wenjuan shouted in a coquettish voice: "Mother, my second uncle is here." ”

Xu Hao smiled and took her little hand and walked into the yard together, He heard that his brother was coming, and hurriedly lifted the bead curtain to greet him, and said with a smile: "You are a hairless person with a mouth, you are really a little bit unreliable, and it is worth the trouble to ask you to buy me a piece of jewelry?" It took several days to do it. ”

Xu Hao touched his smooth chin, and said in his heart that he really had to grow a beard, otherwise he would be regarded as a eunuch at every turn, and said: "The weather is so hot, I have two legs that are also long, in order to buy Zhucui for my sister-in-law, I almost didn't break my legs, and I don't treat people as people." ”

Entering the house, I saw that He Shi combed his hair today, wore a small bibi armor of Japanese flower cloth, hung with lake-colored embroidered sweat towels, white socks and shoes, no grease powder on his face, and lightly swept the moth eyebrows, which made him look more and more flowery and moon-like, very standard.

He Shi raised his eyebrows, quietly took over a box of jewelry, gently squeezed Xu Hao's hand by the way, and asked, "How much did it cost, I'll give it to you." ”

Xu Hao, in line with the acting skills of a swinger, also pinched the soft and simple hand of the beautiful woman, and said with a grin: "If you don't have money, just let me honor my sister-in-law." ”

"You have filial piety." He bit his lip happily, walked to the side with a smile and admired the jewelry, and was very surprised when he opened it.

A set of four pieces of jewelry from Yangzhou Jinyufang is worth ten taels of gold, which is naturally not a good thing in Xu Hao's eyes, but in the eyes of the He family, who has not bought a piece of jewelry for many years, it can be described as a first-class treasure.

Not mentioning He's surprise reaction, Xu Hao walked to the window and looked out, and saw that his cousin in the inner courtyard was still as glamorous, wearing a long dress sewn from a half-new and mopping long blue summer cloth, without a piece of jewelry on his body, and his figure was still slender and slender, but his demeanor was like frost, and he was drying clothes in the yard.

He closed the lid satisfied, for fear of being discovered by others, so he quickly hid it in the closet and said to his daughter: "I don't have any eyesight, let your second uncle sit." ”

"I'll do it myself." Xu Hao moved a chair and sat down by the window, Xia Wenjuan opened the tea, and handed over a Jiaoye fan.

He Shi came over and said, "You take off your coat, who are you afraid of here?" As the saying goes, there is no gentleman in the summer heat, even if you are shirtless. ”

Xu Hao felt the atmosphere of ordinary people's homes, felt very fresh, and said with a smile: "Where did the summer heat come from in March?" Besides, the old ladies and grandmothers in your family, the old eight boards of the water, saw me scolding where did the wild uncle come from, how can you be wild here! ”

He immediately smiled coquettishly, and reached out to unbutton Xu Hao, and said in surprise: "It's made of gold?" ”

Xu Hao said proudly: "Of course, I haven't worn copper and iron since I was a child. ”

He said enviously: "In the end, I grew up in King Mu's mansion since I was a child, and even the buttons are pure gold, no wonder you said that you are like a brother and sister with the county lord." ”

Suddenly walked in, Rui, the second daughter-in-law of the He family, was in her thirties and looked delicate, with a short figure and a petite and delicate figure, and she had always had a close relationship with the He family.

Rui Shi heard the previous conversation and said with a smile: "Why is the second brother stubborn? You are the eldest sister and brother-in-law, what are you afraid of? ”

He said: "That is, the Xia family is thin, and the relatives who have five suits at both ends are removed, and when the leap month is brought together, there will be no one." When it was full, there was only such a delicate and expensive man as him, so he quickly took it off. ”

Xu Hao had to take off his coat, put on a silk shirt, and sat there laughing without saying a word.

When he came, he also bought something for Rui's, Rui's opened the package and took it out, compared the length and size of the shirt was very appropriate, thanked him happily, and turned around and went out.

He pouted and said, "I didn't ask the price, and I blackmailed your silver." ”

"It's just a small thing." Xu Hao said nonchalantly.

"It's a small thing, is the money blowing in the wind?" He Shi glanced at him unhappily, "In the future, you are not allowed to spend money indiscriminately, by the way, how are you doing?" Whether to take the township test in Yangzhou or go back to Hangzhou. ”

"Let's wait, there's no hurry."

Xu Hao looked at the woman's slightly nervous expression, smiled secretly in his heart, and wondered if he should be a bad person? Fan the fan slowly, turned his head, and saw Rui standing in the shade beckoning his cousin over, asking Xiao Yuying to wash out the new clothes while the sun was shining, and said that he was ready to wear them tomorrow.
