The eunuch with the Ming Huangfeng flag after the three waves of horses arrived and repeatedly reported the county lord's itinerary. With the arrival of the fourth wave of eunuch Pegasus, they rolled up a cloud of dust and loudly informed that Fengjia was about to enter the village, which made everyone in Xiaojia Village feel refreshed.

For fear of being seen by the elders and ordered to accompany the punishment station, Xu Hao quietly slipped into the inner house through the back door early in the morning, and found that the cheap father was pretending to take a few stewards and wandering around to check hygiene.

Great cunning, Xu Hao smiled at this, thinking if he should go to see Ning Xue? Or go back to the bamboo garden to rest for a while, and finally dispel the tempting thoughts. There are too many guests at home today, and it is inconvenient to meet Ning Xue, and it is very embarrassing between the two of them, almost nothing has been said in private, and there are many things to do in a while, and there is no time at all.

So Xu Hao went to the north courtyard, now the appearance of this place has been completely changed, the houses have been expanded and renewed, and the small garden on one side is comparable to the Jiangnan garden, exquisite and elegant, and the unique small is big. Pavilions, rockeries, waterfalls, etc., needless to say, sparkling pools and the Jiuquwan Bridge, which only the royal family is qualified to relax, leap into the water, and there is a palace-like three-storey majestic embroidery building in the middle of the artificial lake.

The size of the garden has more than doubled, this end is the courtyard where Xu Wen and his wife live, no place is named, left for Zhu Qiaoqiao to name and play slowly, the couple occupies two-thirds of the area of the garden, separated by pink wall arches; The courtyard at the other end is reserved for Xu Ji's future marriage, and the other third of the garden can be used.

Most of all the expenses were borne by the Qin Wangfu family, and the Xu family didn't spend much money. It's a pity that Xu Hao's dedication is not appreciated by few relatives, and most of them take it for granted. On the contrary, the third wife, Liu, sometimes complained that the third child favored one over the other, saying that you can't ask your brother's courtyard to be repaired by the Qin Palace? Wouldn't that save even more money?

In this regard, Xu Hao could only sneer, and left without saying anything. This person is always accustomed to standing and talking without backache, and explanations are superfluous.

Xu Hao admires the Jiangnan garden very much, but to be honest, he doesn't really want to live in it, because he is tired and panicked from walking around all day, and it is too dangerous to be either a mountain or a water, and if he is not careful, he will cause death.

At this moment, there were three cannon shots outside, and Xu Hao knew that Zhu Qiaoqiao's guard of honor had arrived. In order to show the pomp of the Xu family, Qingwen and other maids were all transferred over today, and every few steps there were people holding palace lanterns.

The guests of the family began to flock to this side, all wanting to see the demeanor of the county lord when he got married, Xu Hao hurried towards Fushouju, and happened to bump into the smiling old lady on the way.

Mrs. Mu nodded at him with a smile, and the eldest lady Wang Shi, who was holding the old lady, asked lightly, "The county lord has entered the door?" ”

Xu Hao shook his head and said, "No, there are too many rules and customs, and we have to wait a little longer." ”

The old lady smiled: "Then let's go over first, just by the way to take a look at the new house." ”

Wang frowned and said, "Then you don't go over to help, what are you doing in the inner house?" Everyone in the family has something to do, and you are walking around like a wandering soul alone, and you are not in a system. ”

Xu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, but because there were too many outsiders present at this time, he endured it. bowed his head silently at the moment, but swore in his heart that anything in the long house in the future had nothing to do with him.

The old lady wanted to speak and stopped, where did she not know that the one who contributed the most before and after running belonged to the third child? But also because the relatives couldn't speak, they said that they were wronged. Today is a day of great joy, and no matter what, we have to give the Wang family some face in public.

When a group of female relatives walked in front of Xu Hao, who lowered his head, Mrs. Mu frowned and shook her head, saying in her heart Xu Hao is relying on your contemptuous status in your own family, how can I trust Ning Xue to you in the future?

When there was no one around, Xu Hao closed his eyes and took a deep breath continuously, suppressing his anger. Soon the whole person returned to normal, he was not ready to deal with the Wang family, Wang's move was nothing more than because his daughter-in-law entered the house, and he couldn't wait to show his wife's prestige in front of people.

Lao Tzu was too lazy to see a woman in general, Xu Hao said to himself, cheer up, you have to continue to do what you have to do, you can't pick a child because you have been wronged, that is a sign of immaturity.

After a series of tedious ceremonies outside the gate, Zhu Qiaoqiao and hundreds of palace maids were welcomed into the north courtyard together. The entire team from the Zongren Mansion was invited to the back house to eat tea and rest, Xu Hao rushed to thank the leading officials of the Zongren Mansion, ordered to take out the reward money, and then sent these people out to return to the capital.

On the other side, Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was dressed in dazzling makeup, was kneeling and respectfully invited by the eunuch, under the gaze of many female relatives around, Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was wearing a phoenix hairpin, suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, slowly got up and walked down step by step, without looking at either side, looking straight ahead, and went straight into the Holy Grace Hall specially built temporarily in the North Courtyard.

At this time, the men waited outside the door in two lines, and continued to endure in silence. The courtyard was full of eunuchs, palace maids, and women watching the ceremony.

At that time, Wang took the initiative to come out with a smile, wanting to have a new daughter-in-law in public to meet her mother-in-law in tears, and the mother-in-law kindly comforted her daughter-in-law. I didn't want to, but I was ignored by the county lord Zhu Qiaoqiao, and I couldn't get off the stage suddenly, and my smile froze.

It was also her who deliberately disgusted Xu Hao before, which can be regarded as self-inflicted. Otherwise, if Xu Hao came along, she would definitely speak out in time to explain the rules, and she would not be embarrassed in public.

Mrs. Mu was still facing Xu Hao, she couldn't bear to speak just now, and chuckled at this time: "The royal family is the same as the common people's family, and the first thing to do when you enter the family is naturally to worship the elders first." And the Holy Lord has a great opportunity, and the county lord wants to thank God, so naturally he has to go into the house to change clothes and freshen up, and respectfully kowtow to the north a few times, and then it is the turn of the old lady and the wife, you are really anxious. ”

The red-faced Wang finally figured out what was going on, and hurriedly said, "It's all because I'm in a hurry, so what should we do now?" You can't just wait, right? ”

Mrs. Mu glanced at her in surprise and said in surprise: "Mrs. Fei doesn't know anything?" You don't know if you don't care, why don't you even have a person in your house who understands? ”

Wang woke up like a dream, and hurriedly asked left and right: "What about the old three?" Where did it go? He did all these things single-handedly, how can it be justified! Why is he missing at this juncture? ”

Mrs. Mu became more and more surprised, her status was different, even in front of the palace concubines, she also spoke straightforwardly, without too many scruples, so she said speechlessly: "Earlier, you said that Xu Hao had nothing to do, how did this become his single-handedness?" Don't you have a second son and a housekeeper? Xu Hao is the only son of your second wife, how can you become a subordinate who beats and scolds, works hard and complains? ”

Wang was suddenly dumbfounded, and when he spoke brightly, his face was flushed, and he couldn't help but hate in his heart. Seeing this, Xu Cuitao, who was beside her, hurriedly smiled and said: "Madame doesn't know, the second brother is busy with the entrance examination, so he can't be idle." Therefore, the third brother is responsible for taking care of foreign affairs. ”

Mrs. Mu became more and more dissatisfied in her heart, and sneered: "This is strange, Xu Hao and my son are also busy with exams together, why does he have time to handle the marriage, and your second brother has no time?" And your eldest brother, as the county lord's concubine, should be the most familiar with these rules, but now he is at the mercy of others like a puppet, and he can't even say a word? ”

When the relatives and daughters around heard it, they dared to love it, and everyone looked a little disapproving, and they all felt worthless for the little boy who had been counted down before, and he was also the young master of the Xu family, his efforts were thankless, and the long house was still complaining to him, which was too much.

The old lady never spoke, except for feeling that her face was gloomy, she regretted that Shicai did not relieve the siege for the third child, so that she was ridiculed by Mrs. Mu at the moment, and she had no face to defend herself.

The happiest among the people present was Xiao Shi, who was really disgusted in his chest, and he was grateful to Mrs. Mu beyond measure.

And after Mrs. Mu hugged Xu Hao for a while, she stopped saying anything when she saw it. At this moment, Xu Hao hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, and walked quickly in front of the old lady, he didn't notice that everyone was staring at him.

"Grandmother, I can't wait until tomorrow when the county lord and the horse can come to visit your old man, and it is inconvenient to talk about family affection today. You first go into the building with the elders with status to sit and watch the ceremony, and after worshipping heaven and earth, they all go back to eat the wedding banquet, because the uncle here has to meet the county lord one by one according to the palace etiquette, and it is inconvenient to see each other. It also has to be tomorrow that the county lord can offer tea to the elders of the clan according to the family. ”

The old lady sighed in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "Well done, then let's listen to Hao'er's arrangement." ”

The surrounding ladies completely understood, and sure enough, it was really this little boy who was in charge of everything, and it was difficult for him to take care of everything at a young age. Looking at the recent wedding, the people are well-founded, busy but not chaotic, which is enough to show the cautious mind of the little son, which is quite rare. As for the horse in the wind of the jade tree and the second son who is polite and polite, he only knows how to stand and watch from the beginning to the end like a piece of wood, and he can't help but look a little embroidered pillow on this matter.

In fact, Xu Wen and Xu Ji regretted their bowels at the moment, and they both blamed themselves for not caring about anything and understanding nothing, so they didn't even dare to say a word.

Xu Wen is somewhat better, after all, he is a colt, and he will do whatever people want him to do. And whenever Xu Yaozu and Xu Ji couldn't help but want to come out and ask some gossip, they were immediately glared back by the eunuch who supervised them.

Whoever let Xu Hao go to the Qin Wangfu and the Zongren Mansion alone to communicate, Zhu Qiaoqiao sent a message several times, clearly saying that he only trusted Xu Hao alone, but in fact, Zhu Qiaoqiao also secretly hated Xu Yao's grandfather and son for not even showing their faces, how could they do such a thing? Naturally, these eunuchs only knew Xu Hao, except for Xu Hao, who went in and out and no one interfered, no one else could take a wrong step.

Xu Hao didn't know that he had suddenly become the focus of attention, he remembered Zhu Qiaoqiao's entrustment, and watched the old lady and other identities enter the building, and said loudly: "Please ask Miss Mu to go in to accompany the county lord." ”

Mu Ningxue smiled when she heard this, walked out of the big and generous Miss pile, and Yingying went upstairs. Wang Xuanqing, who was beside him, stared intently at Xu Hao, who still looked calm among the crowd, and sighed faintly.
